At dawn the next day, the three of them got up early and hit the road.
After packing up and preparing to set off, Xiaotang put a coat on Tianlan and said softly: "The humidity is high in the morning and it's cold, so it's better to wear more clothes."
Seeing the sweetness between the two of them, Ye Yi couldn't help teasing: "You two kissed me, I'm so enviable!"
Xiaotang turned red with embarrassment when he heard this. Tianlan said calmly: "Don't talk nonsense, Xiaotang is like a relative of mine."
"Oh? Really? What's the relationship between you two? She always calls her a son-in-law."
Xiaotang replied confidently: "I am the master's maid, what's wrong? Isn't this natural?" Most of the maids eventually became the master's concubines. Xiaotang was not disgusted with this, but Tianlan had no such intention.
Xiaotang treats her like a younger sister and supports her to find her own happiness.
"Maid?" Ye Yi blinked and said, "Are you still a noble?"
Tian Lan smiled and said, "I'm just a traveler." He neither affirmed nor denied Ye Yi's question. He saw several carriages parked in the distance and said, "There is a caravan over there. We might as well go over there.
Just ask, taking a short ride can save a lot of time."
The caravan has ten carriages and more than eighty people. Judging from their clothes, more than twenty people are members of the caravan, and the others are wearing armor and equipped with weapons, like mercenaries.
"What? You three want to take our car?" The caravan leader looked at these three people. The man is handsome and the woman is young and beautiful. They are all sixteen or seventeen years old. At such a young age, they don't look like malicious people.
"Okay. It's not impossible to take our car. Well, five gold coins per person!"
Ye Yi cursed in his heart: It's so dark. He knew that Tianlan and the others were rich, but he had no money, so he always felt sorry for others to pay for him.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a broad sword on his back came over and laughed: "Old customer, why are you embarrassing these children? Don't worry about how much money they have! Just let them help.
Already."
The team leader was also kind to others. When he saw the big man talking to them, he didn't care about the few gold coins and said: "Okay. That's it. If there is anything needed, you can help move things. I'll go and get busy!"
The middle-aged man walked up to Tian Lan and others and said: "My name is Wang Hu, and I am the leader of the Moonlight Mercenary Group. I am employed by this caravan as a guard this time. Haha, our Moonlight Mercenary Group lives up to its name.
I spend all my money every month, so I have to take on new tasks so that I can exercise! What do you call the three of you?"
Tianlan smiled and said: "Tianlan, this is Xiaotang, and this is Ye Yi." He introduced them one by one. Wang Hu's eyes lit up when he saw that Ye Yi was carrying a sword, he put his arm around Ye Yi's shoulders and said, "Brother,
Are you a swordsman? How is your swordsmanship? Are you interested in learning some moves?"
Ye Yigang wanted to boast, but then thought about the loss he suffered from Xiaotang's sword attack yesterday, so he could only say: "It's not bad."
Wang Hu laughed a few times and said: "This is not possible! Young people must be energetic and confident! Come on, come on, try a few tricks!" With that, he forcibly took Ye Yi away.
Xiaotang covered his mouth and smiled, saying: "This leader is really interesting and he is very kind!"
However, Tian Lan saw the evil smile on Wang Hu's lips when he left, and whispered: "I hope he didn't see Ye Yi's true strength and have evil intentions..."
"Ah? Young Master, what did you say? I didn't hear clearly..."
"It's okay. I hope I'm overly worried..."
Two days passed like this. Ye Yi was dragged by Wang Hu to drink and chat every day, and he quickly became a group with the mercenaries. He found that these mercenaries were straightforward and very appealing to him.
The first time he drank alcohol, Ye Yi poured a glass out of curiosity. As soon as he took a sip, he spit out the whole drink and kept saying, "Ah! What is this? It tastes really bad, bitter and astringent!"
Wang Hu laughed and said: "Brother Ye, you must have never drank wine. This wine is a good thing! You want to drink it when you are happy, and you also want to drink it when you are unhappy. When you are happy, the more you drink, the happier you are. No.
When you are happy, drink it and forget your worries! What do you think? It’s a good thing!”
Ye Yi took another sip dubiously, bared his teeth for a long time, and said: "I really don't see what's so good about such a terrible drink..." Wang Hu could only smile bitterly.
After a few days of getting along, Wang Hu became more and more interested in Ye Yi and asked Ye Yi to join the Moonlight Mercenary Group. Ye Yi hesitated for a while, but politely declined.
"Brother Ye, do you think our mercenary group is bad?" Wang Hu asked with a smile.
Ye Yi said: "No, the mercenary group is very good. But I still have to continue traveling with my two companions."
"That's it!" Wang Hu himself is not weak in strength, but his ability to judge people is really bad. He didn't see what was good about that frail young man and a yellow-haired girl, so he never thought of inviting them. He and Ye Yi had a lot of friends.
Second hand, he found that the strength of this young man was not inferior to his, so he made up his mind to take him under his command. When he thought about it, Ye Yi probably coveted beauty, and that little girl was really good-looking...
Ye Yi has no ambitions and no scheming, but that doesn't mean he will follow others casually. Tianlan and Xiaotang are close to him in age, and both treat him well. He also agreed to travel with them, and there is absolutely no reason to give up halfway.
.
The caravan was stationed for a rest. Xiaotang jumped out of the carriage, stretched out, and said to Tianlan: "It's been a smooth journey! But riding in a carriage is quite tiring, and it's bumpy. The carriages in our house are not like this.
"
Tian Lan smiled and said: "How can these be compared? These carriages only cost tens of gold coins each, and the carriages in our house cost at least hundreds of purple gold coins, which translates into tens of thousands of gold coins. The price difference is a thousand times, how can it be the same?
!" Fortunately, no one else heard this conversation, otherwise they would have been frightened to death. Even nobles from aristocratic families cannot afford a carriage with tens of thousands of gold coins. The most expensive carriage on the market is only a few thousand gold coins. If you want a carriage with tens of thousands of gold coins,
There is no place to buy it yet!
Xiaotang held Tianlan's arm and said: "I know too! I'm just afraid that Young Master will be tired... Young Master, do you feel that the attitude of those mercenaries towards Ye Yi is very different from their attitude towards us? Why do I feel that they always
He is so cold and cold, as if he will kick us out at any time."
Tian Lan smiled and said, "Really? I see those mercenaries almost drooling when they look at you."
Xiaotang shook his head and said: "Humph, they are a bunch of perverts. I don't like them at all!"
Tianlan said sternly: "Xiaotang, you must be careful. Although most of them are not as good as you, when it comes to experience in the world, you are still too inexperienced. They can defeat you with just a few tricks. You have to be on guard! Their attitudes are different from those of you.
We have nothing to do with each other, let’s part ways with them tomorrow to avoid getting entangled together.”
After a while, just as the caravan was preparing to set off, Tianlan suddenly felt a cold air around him... No, it was murderous air! He quietly released his spiritual power, and found that there were ambushes all around! There were not many people, only thirty-two people, and he looked around
Everyone is surrounded, there is no way out!
"Xiaotang, don't leave my side." Tian Lan gently pulled Xiaotang to her side.
When Yiren heard this, her face turned red. When she came to her senses, she felt that the atmosphere was not right and said, "Sir, what's wrong?"
