Chapter 8: The wounded strong man, return safely

Unexpectedly, there was such turmoil here at the beginning. No wonder the food prices have remained high in the past few months.

Luo Feng opened his mouth wide when he heard it, and couldn't help asking: "How did you know these things? I remember that the city gate had not been opened a few months ago."

Zhou Hua sneered, "Can you block everything by closing the city gate? You are too naive."

Then he stopped talking and walked quickly to the front of the escort team.

Zhao Ya looked at his back and thoughtfully.

Luo Feng couldn't help but mutter, "What, I said it as if I was so mature."

The escort team was moving very fast, and by noon, it had already traveled thirty miles. It was not a big problem to get to the destination in the evening at this speed.

Luo Qiang also breathed a sigh of relief and ordered to rest on the spot for lunch.

In fact, there were fixed rest points for escort roads like this before, and they were basically small roadside shops. Although they were simple, they could at least have a hot meal and hot dishes.

But now after being hit by a refugee, all these roadside shops are gone.

So Luo Qiang and others had to eat some of the dry food they brought with them.

Zhao Ya took out a piece of dried beef, tear off a strand and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Now he always has some air-dried meat on his body. He only eats two pieces when he is free, which not only enhances his strength but also kills time.

At this moment, a sudden sound of horse hooves came from the official road. Luo Qiang immediately stood up and stood on the escort car and looked into the distance.

Everyone immediately scattered and protected the escort car.

At this time, Zhao Ya saw a stream of smoke rolling from a distance and rushed towards him in an instant.

This is a single horse, and a strong man is sitting right away.

But at this moment, the strong man was in a bad condition, with scars on his chest and abdomen, and blood was still oozing out.

Even so, the strong man's eyes were still stunningly bright.

And even though they were so far apart, Zhao Ya could still feel the extremely fierce blood energy of the strong man.

Zhao Ya could feel it, let alone Luo Qiang.

The face of the corpse master Luo changed. He was about to speak, and the strong man tied the reins and stopped in front of the corpse team.

"Can you have wine and food?"

No one dared to respond for a moment.

The strong man frowned.

"Without alcohol, dry food is good, so it's not for nothing to eat yours."

As he said that, he reached out to take out a piece of silver from his arms and threw it over.

Luo Qiang had already reacted at this time, and saw him reaching out to catch the piece of silver, picking up another bag of dry food, putting the silver inside, and then throwing it towards the strong man.

"There is no need for money, please use it for the hero."

The strong man took it casually, and was not polite, just nodded.

"Goodbye."

After saying that, he left with a horse.

This man came and left in a hurry, and disappeared on the official road in the blink of an eye.

Luo Feng looked at it curiously, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Tsk tsk, why is this guy still as if nothing is wrong after being injured?"

At this moment, Luo Qiang said in a deep voice: "Get up quickly and leave here."

When he was out, his words were ordered, and everyone immediately stood up and headed towards their destination.

Luo Qiang said nothing about the next journey, and his face was very serious.

His performance also made everyone feel a little nervous, even the most active Luo Feng dared not speak nonsense.

Fortunately, the next journey was peaceful and safe. Before the sun set, they arrived at the destination of this trip, Wujiaying.

This Wujiaying is said to be a village, but in fact it is completely an ancient castle.

The village was surrounded by earthen walls made of rammed earth, and Zhao Ya even saw several observation decks and arrow towers.

If the gate is closed, even if there are hundreds of ordinary people, they will never be able to break through it in a short period of time.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Luo Qiang stepped forward to negotiate.

Because they were all acquaintances, the door soon opened, and Zhao Ya and others escorted the escort car into the village.

By the time Luo Qiang and the person who received the goods finished handing over, the sky was completely dark.

Fortunately, Wujiaying is very spacious and there is also an inn.

Luo Qiang took Zhao Ya and others to stay in Wujiaying for one night, and only set out on his return journey the next morning.

When I came, I couldn’t get faster because of the cargo, so it was different when I went back.

Everyone was light-fitting, so they walked halfway before noon.

Seeing that it was only twenty or thirty miles away from Wuxiang City, a group of people suddenly appeared on the opposite side.

These people were all riding tall horses, leading a man in a blue cloak with a long knife around his waist, blocking the road.

The atmosphere became very tense instantly.

Seeing this, Luo Qiang calmed down, his face filled with smiles, and he clasped his fists and bowed.

"This friend, we are from Changlong Escort Agency in Wuxiang City. This time we are back from the escort. We are about to return to Wuxiang City, but we don't know why you are blocking your way?"

This was neither humble nor arrogant, and he told the other party clearly that he was an empty car from the escort back, and there was no fuel.

Unexpectedly, the man in the lead didn't care about these things at all, just asked coldly.

"Let me ask you, have you seen a strong man riding a horse on this official road, still injured?"

Zhao Ya's heart skipped a beat.

Did these people look for the strong man yesterday?

Luo Qiang's expression did not change at all, and he shook his head and said, "We have just passed this road and have not seen any wounded strong man."

"Really not?"

"No."

"Hmph! I guess that guy can't run much, let's go." The man greeted him, ignored Luo Qiang and others, and led his men to continue chasing him.

After they had already walked away, Luo Qiang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered.

"Go back to the city immediately."

In fact, there was no need for him to give me instructions, everyone was already ready.

The rest of the journey was safe and sound, so he quickly returned to Wuxiang City. After returning to the escort agency, Luo Qiang immediately went to the chief escort leader, obviously to report what he encountered on the way.

Zhao Ya and others relaxed.

In short, although this first ward was unexpected, it was still quite smooth.

Luo Feng was so excited that he bragged to those servants.

"You haven't seen it, we met one this time..."

He wanted to continue talking, but Zhao Ya suddenly stopped him.

"Luo Feng, come with me."

Luo Feng was confused and followed Zhao Ya to the side.

"Brother Zhao, what's wrong?"

Zhao Ya said in a deep voice: "You'd better not talk about things on the road this time."

"Why?" Luo Feng didn't understand.

"No reason, in short, don't just talk about it everywhere, and I believe your second uncle will tell you this later."

After saying that, Zhao Ya patted Luo Feng on the shoulder and left.

Luo Feng didn't understand why, but soon his second uncle Luo Qiang issued a ban to him, and he was strictly prohibited from talking about what he encountered when he went out this time.
