Mingzhu's series of performances not only did not reassure Mo Wentian, but made her a little wary. Mo Wentian even had a vague feeling that if he wanted to leave by force, Mingzhu would definitely stop him.
In terms of strength, Mo Wentian was not afraid of Mingzhu at all, but his behavior towards Mingzhu aroused great interest in Mo Wentian. He wanted to know what secrets were hidden in this weird convoy.
, what are the intentions of this Mingzhu and Li Xiuwen?
The saying goes that curiosity killed the cat, but that's it.
"I just want to know, what are the benefits if I follow you to Chu?"
Having made up his mind to go with Mingzhu's team, Mo Wentian did not make it too obvious. Instead, he raised the issue of remuneration nakedly. This was the caution of Mo Wentian, who was born in a small family, and Mingzhu was obviously stunned.
Immediately after reacting, a smile appeared on his face again.
"Don't worry, sir. When we return to the family, we will be rewarded with generous gifts. These are my personal thoughts."
As she spoke, Mingzhu took out a stack of silver notes from her arms and gently placed them in front of Mo Wentian. These were banknotes commonly used by the Luo Ri Alliance, and the amount was so large that Mo Wentian also
Stunning, a total of three thousand taels!
It is impossible to say that Mo Wentian would not be tempted when faced with such a large sum of money. You must know that the luggage Chu Chen gave him that day only contained a few hundred taels of silver. The other party was a prince, and this pearl was a
He took action without blinking, and it turned out to be thousands of taels, which made Mo Wentian's heart skip a beat.
Moreover, this was Mingzhu's so-called "little kindness", and was later given a "thousand gift" from the family. Mo Wentian couldn't help but begin to speculate on how huge the Li family was, but because of this, Mo Wentian understood more and more.
This journey will never be smooth sailing.
"Money? Haha..."
Mo Wentian did not reach out to take the money, but responded to the other party with Mingzhu's original words. Sure enough, Mingzhu's face immediately showed an embarrassed look. Theoretically speaking, ordinary warriors are not short of money, but for three whole days
Not just anyone could refuse Qianliang, so Mingzhu looked at Mo Wentian with even more respect.
"The pearl is tacky, what do you think of this thing?"
As he spoke, a trace of pain flashed through Mingzhu's eyes, and then he placed a ring in his hand in front of Mo Wentian. The ring was emerald green in color with no patterns on it. It looked extremely ordinary, but from Mingzhu's appearance
Among the expressions, Mo Wentian knew that this was by no means an ordinary thing.
"Oh? This is..."
Mo Wentian picked up the ring and looked at it for a while, but couldn't see anything unusual. His lack of understanding of the world once again put him in an embarrassing situation. Mo Wentian put the ring on his hand.
I felt a sense of coolness emanating from it, but other than that, there was nothing special about it.
"Yes, this ring is a cursed weapon!"
Mingzhu did not continue to explain, as if the name "Curse Weapon" could explain everything, but Mo Wentian was still confused. In desperation, he could not ask, so he could only pretend to nod.
You really shot yourself in the foot!
"Since you are satisfied, sir, please accept these coins and use them to reward others."
Mo Wentian secretly sighed that Mingzhu was really sensible and stopped pretending to be a master. He reached out and put the three thousand taels of silver notes in his arms. This move undoubtedly meant that Mo Wentian agreed to Mingzhu's request.
, seeing this scene, Mingzhu finally felt relieved.
"If you encounter a critical moment on the way, I hope you will help me!"
"Um!"
After receiving Mo Wentian's clear reply, Mingzhu bowed to Mo Wentian again, turned around and left the hut, gently closing the wooden door, leaving only Mo Wentian alone in the house.
"What the hell is this?"
Seeing Mingzhu leave, Mo Wentian took off the ring again and studied it over and over again, but did not come up with any results. It was obvious that this ring must be more valuable than the three thousand taels of silver notes.
There were too many, but Mo Wentian had a feeling of entering a treasure mountain in vain, which made him extremely depressed.
In desperation, Mo Wentian could only put the ring on his finger as a decoration for the time being, and planned to return to Xiaoyao Mountain to see if Luo Qi could recognize what it was.
"I don't know if Lozzi and Friday are still in Thorn Village."
Thinking of this, Mo Wentian couldn't help but worry. He had left Xiaoyao Mountain for ten days now. He didn't know if Luo Qi and Friday would be looking for him, or if they had already left. While he was worried, another name also came from
Mo Wentian's heart rose again.
Qiuqiu!
Ten days ago, Mo Wentian searched all the places where Qiuqiu might appear on Xiaoyao Mountain, but found no trace of the little girl. Now ten days have passed, and he doesn't know if Qiuqiu has encountered any unexpected events, and he doesn't know what to wait for.
When he returns to Xiaoyao Mountain again, will there be a petite figure waiting for his return at the mountain gate?
"Where have you been..."
While his thoughts were cluttered, Mo Wentian gradually forgot about the things in front of him. It was not until Mingzhu sent someone to bring food and bedding that Mo Wentian came back to his senses. After dinner, Mo Wentian fell asleep early.
, Mo Wentian has been exhausted physically and mentally for the past few days, and now he can finally have a good sleep.
This night, there was no accident that Mingzhu was worried about, and the night was peaceful.
When it got slightly light, Mo Wentian woke up, but today he did not get up as early as usual to practice swordsmanship. Although Mingzhu already knew his identity as a warrior, he decided to keep a low profile and asked Mingzhu for a piece of cloth.
Mo Wentian carefully wrapped the broken knife and its handle, and tied it behind his back. The weight of 90 kilograms was nothing to Mo Wentian, who was currently at the sixth level of body tempering.
After a simple breakfast, the group officially set off. At this time, Mo Wentian saw clearly that there were three carriages in the entire convoy. Apart from the coachmen, there were a total of 23 burly men accompanying them as guards. One of them was in front of the carriage.
The two carriages at the back seemed to be loaded with a lot of goods, while Mingzhu and Li Xiuwen were riding in the carriage in the middle.
"Sure enough, those two carriages are all fakes!"
After just one glance, Mo Wentian understood that in ordinary motorcades, carriages with goods would not be placed at the front and rear ends, but Mingzhu arranged it like this. It was obvious that the carriage in the middle was the most important thing.
, that is to say, the crisis that Mingzhu is worried about must be aimed at her and Li Xiuwen!
Because Mo Wentian couldn't ride a horse, he was invited into the carriage by Mingzhu. He didn't know what Mingzhu had done last night. As a result, Mo Wentian immediately noticed something was wrong with Li Xiuwen when he got on the carriage.
Li Xiuwen was huddled in the innermost part of the carriage. Even when he saw Mo Wentian getting into the carriage, he didn't make any sign. His eyes seemed a little dull, and the unruly look of a boy from a rich family completely disappeared.
Mo Wentian didn't have any objections to this, and he didn't want to know what methods Mingzhu used to turn Li Xiuwen into this look overnight. But since there was one less disgusting fly around him, Mo Wentian naturally
Happy to see it come to fruition.
When the motorcade reached noon, they came to a dense locust forest and finally drove away the heat above their heads. Mingzhu also ordered the motorcade to stop for a while. Mo Wentian had no objection to this. As long as Mingzhu said it, Mingzhu could
Just arrive in Chu State.
However, along the way, Mo Wentian finally understood what it meant to be wealthy.
Someone lifts the carriage door curtain, reward! Someone helps fan the wind, reward! Someone diligently hands over cold water and food, reward! Some even untie the horse and pull it to feed, reward!
Mo Wentian looked at Mingzhu spending money like water, and finally figured out what Mingzhu said before, "It's good to use it to reward others." What did Mingzhu mean when he poured out such a large amount of money?
I'm afraid it will cost several hundred taels to arrive in Chu State tomorrow.
However, these big men were quite discerning. Even though Mo Wentian did not offer any reward, they could still see that this was a real distinguished guest and did not dare to neglect him at all, which made Mo Wentian extremely satisfied.
"Rest in place for half an hour."
Mingzhu gave an order, and the twenty or so burly men dispersed, tightly surrounding the three carriages. Three people even left the team and went to explore the locust forest. It seemed that these people
Although they are not warriors, they are still very professional as ordinary guards.
Li Xiuwen did not get out of the car, but continued to huddle in the carriage. He did not say a word along the way. Mingzhu first got out of the car and looked around. He was quite cautious. After finding nothing wrong, he turned back.
When he got to the carriage, he took out a few pieces of cake and handed them to Li Xiuwen's hands.
Generally speaking, when going out, the dry food most people carry are steamed buns, dry biscuits and the like. Fortunately, they even brought something like sponge cake, which opened Mo Wentian's eyes and made him even more
I feel like Li Xiuwen is spoiled.
Li Xiuwen took the cake and put it into his mouth with a dull expression. His movements were a bit mechanical. Mo Wentian felt more and more surprised, but he was not prepared to care about it. When Mingzhu turned around, Mo Wentian thought
Ask about the itinerary. After all, he doesn't want to make any mistakes in the itinerary.
"us……"
"ah!"
However, before Mo Wentian could say anything, a scream suddenly came from the locust tree nearby. Mo Wentian was trembling all over and turned his head to look into the forest.
"Whoa!"
At the same time, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and in the next moment, a golden arrow quickly magnified in front of Mo Wentian's eyes, and came one foot in front of Mo Wentian in the blink of an eye!
Mo Wentian's pupils tightened, he raised his hand as a knife, and his right arm turned into an afterimage, and accurately struck the golden line in the blink of an eye.
"Snapped!"
The golden arrow broke in response and fell lightly to the ground. The blow was successful. Mo Wentian's face did not relax at all, because he knew that the crisis that Mingzhu had been worried about had finally come!
"The opponent is an archer. Only by closing the distance with the enemy can we have a chance to win!"
Mo Wentian muttered silently in his heart, then stepped on his feet, his whole body flew into the air, and rushed towards the direction where the arrow was coming. However, before Mo Wentian could rush out of the scope of the convoy, a dense burst of
The sound of gold and stone immediately sounded. Looking up, a dense golden arrow was passing through the cover of the locust tree, hitting the sky and covering the earth. The number was so large that it made people's scalp numb!
