An was sitting in the carriage, his eyes were dull and his face looked weak.
I don't know why everyone went crazy last night. They dragged him to grill fish until late at night, regardless of how much he ate.
After the fish he caught in advance was grilled, Meiko, together with Hairen and Jerry, ran to the river to catch fish. If it hadn't been for the bright moonlight, I would have been afraid that they would accidentally fall into the river.
It wasn't until the seasonings purchased in the imperial capital were almost exhausted that everyone patted their swollen bellies and let An go.
Thanks to everyone's good health, otherwise I would have had diarrhea this morning.
They enjoyed it well, but they were miserable.
He started grilling fish at night and didn't rest until late at night. As a result, An was turning his wrists unconsciously when he was sleeping. He would wake up from time to time to see if the fish was ready. As a result, he couldn't sleep well all night.
The most annoying thing is that the other people next to me are still sleeping soundly next to them, muttering about one more thing!
"well--"
Ann sighed deeply.
The physical fatigue is nothing more than the mental fatigue.
He now had the illusion that half of his face was hot... the same feeling as when he was squatting by the fire!
"Ah ha ha……"
Miku smiled awkwardly next to him.
It is not impossible to say that she was the culprit for An's being so troubled. If she had not picked up the wrong grilled fish at that time, perhaps the date for An's change of position as a cook would have been much later.
But for Meiko, she is a great contributor.
"An, would you like some water?" Miku gently handed the kettle to An.
In terms of work, Miku felt a little guilty about An's busy work for half the night, but she was actually quite happy from the bottom of her heart.
I didn’t expect An Zai to be so talented in cooking!
It seems that the food in the future will be much better!
An Xu glanced at Miku.
He had not forgotten his obvious dissatisfaction and vocal blame when he was busy grilling fish last night and gave a fish that had accidentally sprinkled too much seasoning to Miku:
"An, your fish is not cooked yet!"
What made An almost faint was that Miku also gave some of the grilled fish to the accompanying escorts.
These were the troops sent by the princess to protect the troupe's convoy when they left the imperial capital. There were about twenty people, all selected from the imperial capital's guards. They were probably all good players.
How can such a person have a small appetite? !
Thanks to their strong self-control and their unwillingness to tire An, An was not exhausted in the end.
Look! Where did Miku come from as a slave owner? ! !
However, An still took the kettle and took a sip under Miku's apologetic smile.
What to do if you don’t drink? What, you still want to take revenge?
Just accept your fate honestly!
An couldn't make any unnecessary expressions on her face. She leaned her head weakly on the carriage and uttered the word "thank you" dryly.
Miku couldn't help laughing twice, and An just glanced at her expressionlessly.
"Okay, Ann, I apologize to you. I will help you when you cook from now on!" Miku used his unique skill: acting like a baby.
The words were comforting, and the imagining of the scene was fascinating, but An still ignored her.
As a dazzling performer on stage, Miku's acting skills are flawless. Her tone and demeanor were like a playful girl who had done something wrong.
However, An, who has been working with her for a long time, knows that this is not what Miku really thinks in her heart!
The girl has always acted faster than words. The reason for saying this is probably more to make him happy.
Maybe he was playing some clever trick at this time.
Damn slave owners! !
An Zheng cursed, but saw Miku suddenly approaching.
"Or... another way of apologizing?" Miku blinked, his cheeks turning red.
An was startled and quickly retreated. When I reacted, my cheeks were already hot.
An's breathing quickened unconsciously, and An looked at Miku who was laughing in confusion.
Who can bear this? !
"An's reaction is so funny!" Miku held his stomach and even burst into tears from the corners of his eyes, showing no image.
"I...you!"
Looking at Ann who was speaking incoherently, Miku looked a little more cunning: "Now that you are energetic, I'm relieved. You don't mind what happened last night, do you?"
"...What I care about is becoming a cook in the future." An held her chin depressedly.
Speaking of being a cook, An was actually not that repelled. In the past, Mei Ke was responsible for everyone's meals, and An was willing to help her sister share some of the pressure. The main reason was that everyone's abyss-like appetite last night shocked him and left him with some sequelae.
What if everyone continues to eat the same way in the future, causing their figures to get out of shape and become chubby?
No matter how much activity you have, you can’t bear to eat like this!
If this is really the case, wouldn’t the responsibility be yours? !
An didn't know whether to be happy or worried...
Glancing out of the car window, it was almost noon.
After a while it will be time to find a place to camp and cook.
An's eyelids twitched.
It's not that he's afraid of cooking lunch. We used too much seasoning last night. If we continue as before today, everyone will have to eat dry food without any flavor until we reach the next town.
As for the grilled fish issue, Miku and the others would not agree, so An was very relaxed.
He just happened to fall into the state of "being afraid of well ropes for ten years"...
With wandering eyes, An's eyes suddenly widened.
An arrow flew out from the forest covered by trees!
An grabbed Miku who came over curiously and quickly lay down.
The arrow flew in from the car window and passed out from the other side.
An heard the warning sound of the guard leader, followed by a hail of arrows.
Fortunately, the carriage was fairly stable, and except for a few arrows that came in through the windows, the rest were blocked.
Miku was so frightened by the unexpected situation that he held An's arm tightly.
After patting her back and seeing her nodding, An crawled to the car window and looked out carefully.
A group of ragged men were exchanging weapons with the escort.
There were probably nearly a hundred people in that group, but the escort was not at a disadvantage. Everyone was outnumbered. Although there were injuries, there were no casualties. On the contrary, the number of enemies is declining rapidly.
Another bandit?
An thought of the funny gang of bandits he met when he first came to the empire. Except for the poor housekeeper, the rest of them were not even injured.
Afterwards, the empire sent people to deal with the bandits. In the end, Ho An didn't care, but it was not much better.
But where did these people come from?
Ann frowned.
The group of people I met now were different from the bandits before. The ferocious expressions on their faces didn't seem to be fake. They were really fighting with the guards. The scene of broken limbs and bloody flesh made Miku, who took a sneak peek, turn pale.
Even though her journey has taken her to many places, she is still a teenage girl after all.
An motioned for her to hide and not move casually.
The rain of arrows just now would have been more disastrous if there hadn't been a carriage as a cover.
They are the ones who really want to kill the convoy!
An's eyes became a little more serious. He looked at the scene outside the car again, thought about it, and did not go to help.
Nearly half of the unknown men and horses had been killed at this time, but no one in the guard was seriously injured. Such an elite guard did not need Ando to do this.
The carriage Meike and the others were riding in was right behind and behind them, and An Youxin stayed behind to protect his companions. However, no one could get close to the convoy until all the bandits were killed.
It can only be said that the guards assigned to the theater troupe by the princess are really powerful. The madmen with unknown origins were all killed, and only a few people in the escort were slightly injured.
The shocked theater troupe got out of the car and gathered together. After confirming that everyone was safe, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"I hope everyone is okay, otherwise we will really be negligent in our duties." The guard captain's eyes contained a murderous look that would not dissipate in time, making people retreat unconsciously.
An looked at the tragic scene not far away, thought about it in her mind, and asked, "Who are these people?"
"I don't know. I see that their clothes are shabby and their movements are disorganized. Maybe they are bandits nearby." For some reason, the guard captain lowered his body a lot. "The number of bandits in this area is indeed quite large, so Her Royal Highness asked us to protect her." .”
"The bandits... didn't leave any survivors?"
Everyone in the troupe was comforting each other and did not notice a slight change in An's demeanor.
"I have the intention to hold back, but even if these people are hit in the vital points of the operation, they will be killed by their companions with a knife or commit suicide. It seems that they have agreed not to leave any words. The opponent has a large number of people and there is really no chance to survive. Please forgive me!"
"It's nothing. It's not your fault. Just be fine." An looked thoughtfully at the well-made broken blade stuck on the ground.
The guard captain stood behind An, his eyes full of respect.
"An! What are you looking at?!" Mei Ke ran over and grabbed An's ears, reproaching her with worry in her eyes.
Apologize calmly.
Panic and confusion remained on Hairen's face.
Jerry and Liuge are comforting the crying Yinliu.
Miku held Bai's hand, his eyes fell on An, a little worried.
