Mingzhu's performance made Mo Wentian a little unable to react, but from the other party's tone, it seemed that he already knew his identity as a warrior. The strange thing was that when everyone was a warrior, he did such a move, which really made Mo Wentian
Wentian was a little confused.
"What's the meaning?"
Hearing Mo Wentian's doubts, Mingzhu raised her head and looked at Mo Wentian with a smile on her face. Although she didn't use all her strength in the blow just now, it was not something that ordinary people could resist, let alone hit.
Naturally, the only one who could defeat the warrior was the warrior himself, so Mingzhu easily determined Mo Wentian's identity.
"I wonder where you are going, sir?"
Hearing these words, Mo Wentian immediately became wary. The two of them were strangers to each other. To suddenly ask about his destination so rashly seemed to be inappropriate no matter where he came from, because he couldn't figure out Mingzhu's intention.
Mo Wentian gave a rather vague answer.
"Bozhou City."
Bozhou City is the closest city to Xiaoyao Mountain, and it is only a hundred miles away from Jingji Village. After hearing this, Mingzhu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"It turns out that your Excellency is also going to the Chu Kingdom. That's good. Our convoy is also going to the Chu Kingdom. Maybe we can go together?"
Mo Wentian was stunned when he heard this. In Mingzhu's words, he heard an extremely important message, that is, the place where he is now is not Chu State? This news shocked Mo Wentian.
, so much so that he completely ignored Mingzhu’s request to invite him to accompany him.
"What! Isn't this the Chu Kingdom?"
Mingzhu looked at the confusion on Mo Wentian's face, which didn't seem to be fake. She seemed a little surprised by the other party's question, but it didn't seem to be a big deal. Even a warrior might not be able to see the road clearly. What's more, in fact, Mo Wentian
The doubts are also justified.
"It seems that you have miscalculated the distance. If we say it accurately, it is indeed not far from the border of Chu State. It will probably take another day and night to reach it."
Mo Wentian was completely confused when he heard this. He clearly remembered that the blind man once told him that the sandy land was only half a day's walk from Xiaoyao Mountain. Could it be that he had crossed such a long distance just because he took a secret passage?
distance?
etc!
Suddenly, an idea quickly grew in Mo Wentian's mind. He suddenly thought of a possibility, and his face suddenly became dumbfounded. He finally figured out where he went wrong.
The blind man once said that the distance between where they are and Xiaoyao Mountain is half a day's walk, but that is calculated based on the blind man's speed! The blind man's strength is higher than Mo Wentian's by an unknown amount, and the speed of their feet is naturally also
They are not on the same level, so a blind man's half-day journey is naturally enough to leave Chu State from Xiaoyao Mountain.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Mingzhu's voice sounded in time, pulling Mo Wentian back from his thoughts. When Mo Wentian saw Mingzhu's doubtful eyes, he had to temporarily suppress the sigh in his heart.
"What do you think, sir?"
"Ah? Well, okay!"
Mo Wentian thought that Mingzhu might have asked something while he was distracted. In order to cover up his gaffe, he had to answer casually, but Mingzhu showed a look of joy on his face, and even gave a long sigh.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then please come with me, sir..."
Mingzhu said, and walked towards their camp with a confused Mo Wentian. After a while, Mo Wentian finally figured out what he had promised Mingzhu, and was immediately ready to regret it, but after thinking twice, he still accepted it
Mingzhu's request.
According to time calculation, 10 days have passed since he left Xiaoyao Mountain, and there are still four or five days left before the half-month appointment with Li Yuanji. If Mo Wentian went on the road alone, rushing all the way.
If we go there, there will be more than enough time.
In addition, there was a young man in Mingzhu's team who had higher ambitions than his own. Mo Wentian really didn't want to go on the road with him, so as soon as he understood his promise, Mo Wentian was ready to go back on his word.
However, there were three reasons why Mo Wentian finally agreed.
First of all, Mo Wentian is a person who values promise. Once he agrees to something for others, he will not go back on it easily if it is not necessary. This is also one of Mo Wentian's bottom lines. Secondly, Mo Wentian has no idea at all.
Of course, you can ask Mingzhu about where you are now and how you should return to Chu. However, if you decide to part ways with the other party, it would be a bit embarrassing to ask for the route.
Of course, embarrassment was nothing to Mo Wentian, so what really made him decide to go with Mingzhu's team was the third reason.
That was the instructions from the blind man. The blind man once told Mo Wentian very clearly that after leaving the secret passage, he should try his best to hide his identity as a warrior and the broken knife in his hand. After joining Mingzhu's convoy, all this will naturally not be a problem.
Even if the people in the temple chase Mo Wentian to his location, the presence of the convoy can help Mo Wentian conceal his identity!
"Okay, then I really want to know, who are you?"
After making the decision, Mo Wentian turned his attention back to Mingzhu and the others. This question was something Mo Wentian was extremely curious about. After all, two dignified warriors actually hired a group of ordinary people as bodyguards. What do you think?
It's all a very strange combination.
At this time, Mingzhu had already brought Mo Wentian to a somewhat dilapidated house. This place seemed to be an abandoned small village. Except for Mingzhu and his party, there was no one else in the whole village. It seemed that Mingzhu and the others
It must be that after arriving in this small village, I found a house that looked relatively solid and settled in it.
After Mingzhu led Mo Wentian through the door, she found a straw mat and motioned for him to sit down before speaking slowly.
"My brother and I are from a second-class family in Chu State. We are from the Li family. My name is Li Mingzhu and my brother's name is Li Xiuwen. This time my brother and I came to Qi State to purchase some things. Because the quantity was large, we had to hire a few
Ordinary people acting as guards can also deter some bandits."
Mingzhu seemed to know very well what Mo Wentian's doubts were, so he explained it directly. However, in Mo Wentian's opinion, there seemed to be some flickers in the other party's expression, and he should be hiding something important.
On the Eastern Barren Continent, there are sects, and naturally there are aristocratic families. Like sects, aristocratic families are also divided into three, six, and nine grades. For example, Bashan, where Ba Mang and Bashan were before, is a member of a third-class aristocratic family in Chu, and the Pearl is where
Although Mo Wentian didn't know much about the Li family, they definitely had nothing to do with Li Yuanji. It was not surprising that there were so many people named Li in the Chu Kingdom.
"Then why do you invite me to accompany you?"
This is what Mo Wentian is most confused about. After all, Mingzhu's attitude changed too quickly before, which made Mo Wentian always feel wary.
"You have also seen that although my brother is also a warrior, he has been spoiled by his family since he was a child and has almost no actual combat experience. Therefore, among everyone, I am actually the only one who has the combat power of a warrior, especially ordinary people. Although there are many
There are many, but when you encounter warriors, they are just cannon fodder."
"Once our group encounters a warrior who is stronger than me, we may not be able to escape death. I think your master's skills are not weaker than mine, so..."
Mo Wentian couldn't help frowning when he heard these words. He didn't expect Mingzhu to treat him as a free thug, but the fact that the other party could say it so frankly surprised Mo Wentian.
"You want to use me?"
"Ah...no, sir...if..."
Before Mingzhu could finish speaking, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside the house. The next moment, the door of the house was violently knocked open, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Mo Wentian again.
"Mingzhu! Why did you bring this bastard back!"
Mo Wentian looked at Li Xiuwen coldly. A layer of cloth had been tied on the other man's leg to stop the bleeding, but judging from his movements, it seemed that there was nothing serious. Faced with Li Xiuwen's insults, Mo Wentian did not move.
He just lowered his eyes, wanting to see what Mingzhu would do.
"Snapped!"
A loud slap sounded in Mo Wentian's ears, Mingzhu's figure was seen, and even an afterimage was pulled out in the air, and then he slapped his brother's face mercilessly. Li Xiuwen was stunned for a moment.
He didn't react for a moment, and stared at Mingzhu with his eyes wide open, as if he had seen a ghost.
"You...you dare to hit me!"
"How dare you hit me for that bastard! I want..."
Li Xiuwen's eyes were burning, and he pointed his finger straight at Mo Wentian, who was sitting beside him. The turbid air from his mouth had already sprayed onto Mingzhu's face.
"Snapped!"
Mingzhu's face was expressionless, and she slapped Li Xiuwen again on the cheek. This time, Li Xiuwen was completely shocked. His mouth was open and speechless, and both sides of his face were swollen.
"Brother, now is not the time for you to act nonsense. Apologize to the adults!"
"You bitch! How dare you hit me! Just wait. When I get back, I will definitely..."
"Snapped!"
A clear slap on the face forcefully blocked the words out of Li Xiuwen's mouth again. Judging from the sound, Mingzhu was obviously a bit more ruthless this time, and Li Xiuwen's resentful eyes finally turned into fear.
"Apologise, sir!"
Li Xiuwen looked at Mingzhu blankly, turned around and left the house silently, without even saying a harsh word. Mingzhu hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and finally did not chase him out, but returned to Mo Wen.
In front of Tian, he bowed with great respect.
"I'm sorry, my brother is so naughty. I apologize to you on his behalf!"
Mo Wentian watched the end of this farce and sneered at Li Xiuwen in his heart. A straw bag was a straw bag. Although his cultivation was extremely weak, he actually made such a threat on the spot. It seemed that he was really a worthless waste.
But this Mingzhu was able to see the situation so decisively, and personally taught Li Xiuwen a lesson without saying anything, and even apologized to Mo Wentian in such a low voice. From this, it seems that their group is definitely in big trouble, so Mingzhu is like this. He desperately needs Mo Wentian's help, even to the point of abandoning family ties!
Looking at Mingzhu's sincere face, Mo Wentian narrowed his eyes.
"It's quite interesting..."
ps: Thank you to the helmsman [D tone gorgeous] for continuing to reward. Also, I would like to report that because Bi Kong is approaching the end of the term, he has been busy reviewing recently, so the updates will be relatively late, and I am afraid there will only be one update every day. I hope everyone can understand! Thank you Bi Kong !
