Riding Juechen, he galloped away, and Lei Suo's figure quickly disappeared in the east.
After watching Lei Suo go away, Gu Jian and Leti breathed a sigh of relief. They glanced at each other and saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes.
Although they accepted this escort mission, and both of them were strong men who survived the bloody battlefield, the thing represented by the cloth bag was too heavy, and they were a little breathless.
Both of them knew very well that during this escort, other goods could be lost, but this cloth bag could not be in any danger.
If Bu Bao had an accident, the two of them wouldn't have to go back to Lei Suo to report, they could just commit suicide! "Gu Jian, do you think we have no problem?"
It was obviously summer, but Leti felt a chill and couldn't help but ask.
Gu Jian smiled bitterly and said, "Why do you ask that? Do you have no confidence in yourself?"
Leti asked, "What about you?"
Gu Jian sighed and said: "To be honest, I don't have much confidence.
But no matter how dangerous this trip is, you and I must bear it!"
"But it's not peaceful now, what if..." Leti is a woman after all, and she always has more to think about.
Gu Jian understands Leti's worries. Nowadays, the empire is suffering from internal and external troubles, and the public security is chaotic. Even though the road from Luye back to the imperial capital is a major road, incidents of robberies of caravans often occur.
If it were a normal day, Gu Jian would not even care, and would just crush the robbers if they encountered them.
But now that he is pregnant with a treasure and has too many things to worry about, he can no longer be so reckless.
After thinking about it, he whispered: "How about this, we can rest during the day and travel at night.
Those robbers always have to sleep, so they can't wait on the roadside in the middle of the night, right?"
Leti thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense. Let's go on our way at night!"
After only walking a few dozen kilometers during the day, the team found a village to rest.
When night fell and there were almost no cars on the road, they set off again.
The night was dark, and except for the torches of the motorcade, the road was pitch black with no light at all.
If you are a timid person, you will not dare to drive at night, but everyone in the convoy is a soldier, so naturally you will not be afraid of this darkness.
Leti summoned a ghost to clear the way ahead.
In this boundless darkness, ghosts are at home like a fish in water. If there is any trouble, the team can be warned in advance.
Gu Jian was at the end riding alone. He was the strongest among everyone and was responsible for holding down the formation.
This journey lasted for two days. The team traveled day and night, just as Gu Jian had guessed. It was very peaceful along the way and did not encounter any unexpected situations at all.
After two days, everyone in the team, which was a little nervous at first, breathed a sigh of relief. In their opinion, this trip should always be so peaceful.
At midnight on the third day, the convoy finally left the eastern province and entered the northern province. After walking along the road for about three days, it was within the control of the imperial capital.
Once there, there is no need to worry about the safety of the convoy.
Leti walked at the front of the team, looking very relaxed.
After two days, she found that Gu Jian had a good idea.
I hardly encountered any fellow travelers when I was traveling at night. Even if there were robbers, they would probably have gone to bed. I never expected that anyone would be traveling in the dark.
Although it's a bit harder, she won't complain at all as long as she can ensure safety.
Just when Leti was sitting on the horse and feeling a little drowsy, the ghost who had been walking in front of her suddenly stopped and let out a low roar.
"What happened!"
This was the first time in three days that the ghost had sounded an alarm. Leti's drowsiness immediately disappeared and she asked in a panic.
Longbow pointed forward and roared again.
Leti raised her eyes and looked into the distance, and saw many black shadows crawling out of the wasteland on the roadside. They were as dark as insects, blocking the way forward.
Leti was taken aback, and immediately raised her hand to signal to the rear team, and at the same time shouted: "Who is in front of you!"
Just as she finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by, and Leti smelled a strange smell in her nose, like...like a piece of stinky meat on a hot summer day, which made people cover their noses! "What is this smell?"
Leti couldn't help but frown.
There was no answer or any light from the other side, it just squeezed forward silently.
Judging from the number of those black shadows, there are probably fifty or sixty.
At this time, the motorcade also stopped. Gu Jian rode his horse from the rear and stopped beside Le Di. He reined in the horse and asked in surprise: "What's going on?"
"Stopped!"
Leti pointed to the front, "There are quite a few people!"
Gu Jian drew out the long sword from his waist and shouted sharply: "Who are you and what do you want to do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed because he could feel the ground shaking.
Behind those black shadows, there was a huge thing rushing towards me at an extremely fast speed! "What is it!"
Gu Jian was horrified, "Hurry up and form a formation!"
There was a tremor in his voice. He stared at the darkness, and he had an intuition. It seemed that a terrible monster would emerge from it in the next second! The people escorting the car were all soldiers, who had experienced the test of blood and fire.
Hearing Gu Jian's shout, he immediately turned the vehicle and firmly connected the four vehicles together, forming a small camp.
Half of them took out their bows and arrows and prepared to shoot, while the other half took out their knives and guns and stood ready. Although they seemed to be moving like the wind, their hands and feet were trembling slightly.
The unknown fear in the darkness seemed to amplify the fragility of the human heart. The tremors on the ground became stronger and stronger. The behemoth was getting closer and closer, and the oppressed people could hardly breathe.
Leti wanted to summon another creature, but her hands were trembling slightly and she could hardly form a spell-casting gesture. What was even more frightening was that her mind went blank.
This is the power of fear. It never comes, but becomes more terrifying! Just when everyone's psychology is about to be overwhelmed by fear, there is a loud boom in the darkness, and a huge shadow appears in front of them.
"What kind of monster is this!"
Gu Jian and Leti looked at the true appearance of the shadow with their mouths open and couldn't believe their eyes.
And in their ears, a cold voice sounded at the same time.
"I opened this road, I planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, leave money to buy the road!"
Gu Jian and Leti stared at the monster blocking their way, feeling the urge to pinch their thighs to see if this was a nightmare.
How can it be?
If a group of robbers were blocking the road, the two of them would definitely not be surprised.
Even a group of monster beasts coming out to look for food were expected by the two of them.
But they never expected that there would be such a group of monsters!
