As a result, Isaac promised to go on the road with Guan Heng, Shani and the convoy sending the bride off. After the two discussed it, the matter was decided without any suspense.
"So you decided to go with this escorting team, right?" Shani nodded after listening to Guan Heng's narration: "I have no objection, who told us that we don't know the shortcut to Gaxia Town? Well, it is very beneficial to follow a convoy that is familiar with the journey."
It didn't take long for Shani to feel extremely happy for her wise decision, because Miss Yetelina turned out to be a very kind and talkative young girl. She and her maid Monica were feeling lonely and bored during the journey, and the result was that There is an extra female companion - Shani, which makes both of them feel surprised.
It only took a while for the three girls to become good friends. They all hid in Yetelina's carriage, teasing the little white lion Dingchun, and chatting so warmly.
"Ha, after all, girls are more talkative." Guan Heng saw this in his eyes and felt a little emotional: "It's a good thing that they don't feel lonely during the journey."
At this time, Guan Heng merged his carriage into the procession of welcoming the bride, and a guard volunteered to help him drive the carriage. Guan Hengze and Isaac were chatting in front of the procession about the local customs and customs nearby. Isaac was talking about the original The plain is rich in products and used to be Kauru's most famous natural pasture and hunting area.
But now, after years of war, most of the people have moved to the interior of the country, and the northern plains are gradually becoming deserted.
Gradually, the northern plains of Kauru became a place where small groups of monsters were infested and sporadic orc rangers were invading. The remaining people who had not been relocated were miserable.
"Nowadays, the villages along the northern plain are sparsely populated. People who don't travel on this road frequently are not willing to pass by here." Isaac shook his head slowly and said, "Especially travelers who travel alone."
"Oh, according to you, this journey along the way is not very peaceful!" Guan Heng was riding on his horse, admiring the scenery on the road, and asked casually: "It's getting late, let's decide where to stay tonight. Yet?"
"Fifty miles ahead of the official road, there is an unknown small village." Isaac touched the beard stubble on his chin and said: "In the past two years, I have been traveling between the capital of Kawulu and Haoyue City to perform official duties, and I often stay there. The village The chief and other villagers are pretty good, and they are very hospitable to outside guests, which is probably why there are so few people visiting there."
"Okay, it looks like we can get there in half an hour." Guan Heng reined in his horse and suddenly said to Isaac, "Have you noticed? There is about three or four kilometers behind our convoy. , it seems like someone has been following you secretly!"
"What?!" Isaac was shocked when he heard this: "Guan Heng, are you serious about what you said? Why haven't I noticed..."
"Because the other party seems to be an expert in concealing his whereabouts! Look, the place I mentioned is a wild forest." Guan Heng pointed behind him with his riding crop and said: "There is no strong wind now, but from time to time in that forest there are There were frightened birds flying out, and it was obvious that someone was ambushing them, with unknown motives.”
"What should we do?" Isaac frowned and said, "We have too few manpower. The task of protecting Miss Yetelina here is huge, and we really have no time to investigate the situation in the wild woods!"
"Well... I'd better go." After thinking for a few seconds, Guan Heng said in a low voice: "It's easier for me to move alone. If there is any trouble, it can be solved easily!"
"Is this...appropriate?" Isaac was a little worried about Guan Heng going alone at this time. He said: "Brother, we are not afraid of anything else. I am worried about your safety. Otherwise, we will rush to the village ahead. Don’t mind what’s going on in the wild woods!”
"It doesn't matter. Brother Isaac, don't worry." Guan Heng waved his hand nonchalantly: "How many people can be hidden in a small forest? It won't be a large army, right? I can handle it."
"Besides, please don't make this matter public." Guan Heng lowered his voice and said to Isaac: "Especially don't disturb Miss Yetelina, a noble lady of the royal family. Shani is guarding her now, so I’m not too worried about the carriage and you here.”
"It was the movement in that wild forest that made me a little uneasy, so I had to go and make sure!"
After Guan Heng said this, he took another look at the movement in the surrounding wilderness and continued to say to Isaac: "It's almost dusk. The convoy is staying in the wild and cannot guarantee absolute safety. Take them to the front quickly. Village, I will take care of the rest!"
Seeing that Guan Heng insisted on doing this, Isaac could only nod his head: "Okay then, remember to be more careful. Everyone and I are waiting for you in the village ahead."
"Wait a minute, you can take the horse I'm riding along with you." Guan Heng said: "For me, dozens of miles are just a blink of an eye. This horse is a bit eye-catching and is not suitable to stay with me. .”
After the two discussed it, Isaac led the convoy to proceed as usual, heading to an unknown village dozens of kilometers away.
But Guan Heng quietly sneaked into the tall grass beside the official road. There was a sound of rustling, and then he gradually disappeared and walked towards the wild woods not far away.
…
At the same time, in the wild woods next to the official road, a group of armored warriors covered their faces with face helmets, leaving only their eyes shining with cold light. Their armors were originally bright and dazzling, and were made of silver and white. Color, but in order not to be recognized by acquaintances, it was all covered with dark ink!
A leading armored warrior ordered in a low voice: "My lordship said that that damn girl Yetelina would rather marry far away in Haoyue City than agree to his proposal, so he just stopped doing it and intercepted and killed them on the way. , slaughter them all, and then frame the blame on Grand Duke Demachi!"
"Boss, what do you mean by this?" His subordinates asked with doubts: "Anyway, Sir, he is also a noble from Kawulu. If there is a quarrel between the royal family and the Principality of Demachi, what good will it do? ?Isn’t this tearing down the walls of your own home?”
"You know nothing!" the armored warrior leader cursed in a low voice: "What's the big deal about a noble title? Our master's goal is the king's throne in the palace of King Kauru..."
At this point, the armored warrior leader suddenly realized that he had said too much, and he immediately changed the subject: "Hey, after dark, you all will follow me to make a night attack on the village where my family's convoy is staying. Those accompanying guards, Let me kill Yetelina and all the people in the village, and then set the village on fire!"
