Chapter 12 Status
The space inside the carriage is very large and the furnishings are luxurious, which can be compared to being used for leisure and enjoyment at home.
There are bright yellow fine patterns on the front and three sides facing the front, which is soft enough to accommodate one person lying down.
A thin velvet blanket is stacked on top, and the surface is smooth and smooth, clean and free of dust.
The windows on both sides are half-covered and half-exposed. In addition to curtains, there are also round bead curtains hanging in various colors.
As the carriage moved forward, the bead curtains collided with each other, making a joyful sound like water hitting a clear spring.
In the center of the carriage, there was a square four-legged desk with many items placed on it.
There is a volume of "Ming Yang Zhi" with new pages. It is a character chronicle specially prepared by Lu Le to entertain Meng Zhao.
A plate of purple berries, washed clean and attractively shiny, with a little crushed ice on top.
A plate of pastries, exquisite in shape, fragrant in aroma, and milky white in color, which makes people full of appetite. It is cooked by the chef.
These two were used by Meng Zhao to satisfy his cravings during his travels, and naturally they also contained essence to make up for the consumption of martial arts.
It can be said that it is quite considerate to improve your inner strength while enjoying it.
This is a resource supply that is beyond the reach of poor lower-class warriors.
There is a saying that all people are born equal, which may have some truth to it.
However, the environment and background of life are absolutely not equal.
Just like Meng Zhao, his improvement in this short period of time may be something other warriors have to spend countless sweat and even blood to catch up with.
In addition to these, there is also a blue and white seawater pattern incense burner on the table. From the fine holes drilled in the burner cover, a faint and light fragrance is emitted, refreshing and soothing the spirit.
It also has subtle benefits for martial arts practice.
At this time, Meng Zhao was completely adapted to his status as a wealthy man. He read the contents of "Ming Yang Zhi" with great interest, occasionally picked up a berry or pastry to taste, and was immersed in it for a while.
The Arhat Boy Kung Fu, which has been promoted to the stage of Zhengding (small success), is more precise and efficient in shredding the rich essence spreading in the body, turning it into pure internal energy and storing it in the Dantian.
In addition, this carriage was specially designed so that the black-scaled horse could run fast and steadily, with almost no bumps or vibrations, making Meng Zhao forget about the passage of time.
About half an hour later, the speeding carriage and the knights lined up around it suddenly stopped. A loud and deep voice came from the front of the team,
"alert."
This sound was shouted by Scar, containing extremely strong internal force, like a thunderous explosion, whirling in his ears.
When the sound completely dissipated, the Meng Mansion guards parked around the carriage had already pulled out their sheathed swords, holding one hand across their chests. The blades shone coldly under the sunlight, and their stern faces were filled with emotion.
alert.
There was even more powerful crossbow open, the crossbow was quenched with poison and glowed green.
If there is an abnormal situation, these powerful crossbows will be launched immediately, giving the enemy the first wave of violent blows.
Meng Zhao was also awakened by this sudden turn of events. A trace of surprise flashed through his slightly lazy eyes. He subconsciously picked up the Buddhist beads at hand. A cool breath came, calming his slightly heaving heart.
Pushing half of the car door open, he leaned forward and asked,
"Ale, what happened? Why did it stop suddenly?"
Before Lu Le could answer, Meng Zhao had already seen the scene ahead through his extraordinary eyesight.
The convoy should have walked in front of a purple maple forest. Looking around, it looked like a rippling purple ocean. When the wind blew, the purple waves rolled, it was so beautiful.
However, after Scar shouted to be on guard, dozens or hundreds of people ran out from the purple maple forest to block them, splashing gray dust and floating in the air, removing this ethereal atmosphere.
The beauty is completely destroyed.
This group of people looked like bandits who had fallen into disgrace.
However, compared to the fierce and bloodthirsty nature of bandits, they are closer to desperate refugees.
Many people were holding sticks, pickaxes, and even dead branches in their hands, and some were simply using their bare hands.
All of them were sallow, skinny, and dressed in ragged clothes, as if they had not eaten enough for a long time, and there were men, women, and children among them.
With this kind of fighting power, even if the number of people were five times greater, they would not be able to pose any threat to the guards of the Meng Mansion.
The elite knights of the Meng family, led by Scar, an acquired master, were able to kill them all with a single charge, leaving themselves unscathed.
Meng Zhao is absolutely confident in this.
However, the situation in the city is so good, the people are prosperous and healthy, and everything you see and hear is peaceful.
Are there any refugees outside Nan'an County?
Not only are there, but there are many.
After all, this world is not only plagued by natural and man-made disasters, but also by vicious beasts.
Meng Zhao still has some understanding of this.
However, the strange thing is that this group of refugees, with their families and families and no living security, did not want to go to the government for help. Instead, they had the audacity to stop in front of them. This is so abnormal.
Do you want to plunder supplies, or do you want to pray for mercy and charity?
Refugees are not fools, they are also afraid of death.
Even if they all turned into thieves who robbed innocent people, it would be impossible to target them so blindly and brainlessly.
The huge difference in strength can be seen with the naked eye.
In addition, the guards he brought with him were extremely capable, and at first glance they were neither good nor good candidates for begging.
Meng Zhao's eyes were dim and his eyebrows were squeezed together. Instead of relaxing, he was extremely vigilant.
He commanded Lu Le with an expressionless face,
"Ale, the appearance of this group of people is too bizarre, don't act rashly, be careful.
You ask Scar to give this group of people some loose money and send them away without any conflict.
If they still don't disperse, or even get close to the team, charge immediately and don't be lenient."
Meng Zhao was very cautious, even more cautious. After all, he had lived for two generations and still cherished the importance of life.
He was afraid that there were people with evil intentions hiding among this group of refugees who would rise up and cause trouble when they found a good opportunity.
Although the people he brought were all elites, the losses were really unpredictable when they were caught off guard.
The best solution is to send these people far away.
Lu Le has been tutoring Lu Zhong for so many years, so he is not an incompetent person. He naturally saw the clues and his face was very solemn.
The long whip in his hand was swung, like a long snake lashing into the air, with full force, making a crackling sound, and the signal was sent out.
However, this whip also made the two black-scaled horses in front of the carriage a little uneasy. Their majestic bodies twisted, and their four hooves, like gold and iron, stepped down in turn, making a clicking sound.
At this time, two big men in black with nervous expressions quickly rushed forward on their horses. Since the incident was sudden and urgent, they did not have time to salute Meng Zhao, so they leaned forward on the horse and listened to Lu Le's instructions.
If Lu Zhong is the big housekeeper of the second house, then Lu Le is the little housekeeper. In the eyes of the people of the second house, he is still very reliable and prestigious.
Wait until Lu Le makes arrangements according to Meng Zhao's wishes.
The two big men, one behind the other, flew past in two directions, giving orders to Scar and Wang Tao.
