"Huh, there shouldn't be anything they caught. Well, I don't think about it anymore. Let's take a good rest first." After returning to the room, Aotian closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief, muttering to himself. Then he shook his head and walked towards the bed.
Go and get ready to practice well and recover from the damage you just received.
After exhaling a breath of turbidity, Aotian woke up from his practice. He stood up and looked out the window to see that the sky was already dim. After washing himself, he practiced the Seven Star Fist gesticulating in the room for a while, and then planned to go downstairs to meet them.
"Are you so early?" As soon as he came downstairs, he saw the group of mercenaries already having breakfast downstairs.
Perhaps it was because of what happened last night. The remaining eight mercenaries said "Yes" with a sad face, and then stopped saying anything. Their faces were all covered with sorrow. Under this influence, the air seemed to be filled with sadness.
A layer of sadness condensed.
Wang Ming walked down the stairs and sighed: "Do you still plan to continue completing this task? Our wife said that if you give up now, we will not blame you, and the commission will be paid to you in full.
We will provide adequate pensions to the members of your group who died yesterday, and we will also pay a certain amount of compensation to the injured! If you continue to accept this mission, we will double the commission!"
"Yes, we in the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group have never given up on any mission half-way. No matter how difficult it is, we will complete it. We don't need your double commission. We knew this path when we entered the mercenary world.
Danger and difficulty! Since we have accepted this mission, there is no reason to give up!" After hearing the old man's words, the mercenary leader said firmly.
After hearing this answer, Wang Ming couldn't help but have a flash of admiration and emotion in his eyes: "Since you are willing to continue to complete it, let's get ready and set off. After today, tomorrow we should be waiting for the guards sent by our family.
Everything will be fine by then." After saying that, the old man immediately turned around and walked upstairs, seemingly preparing to leave.
The sun is scorching like fire in the sky, and the fiery breath is constantly baking everyone exposed to the sun! There is a dead silence around, as if there is no life activity! At this moment, a team of carriages and horses on the avenue are braving the scorching sun on the empty road.
On the horse, Aotian continued to move forward. Aotian on horseback felt that his body had turned into charcoal, and he was sweating like rain. "What the hell is the weather like?" Even Aotian, who usually never spoke foul language, couldn't help but secretly complain.
"Uncle Wang, it's already noon. Let's find a place to take a rest. The weather is too hot." A pleasant voice came from the carriage, breaking the silent atmosphere and injecting a cool breath into this hot summer day.
"Madam, there is a town 5 miles ahead. Let's go somewhere to rest!" Wang Ming, who was wiping his sweat after hearing the words in the car, nodded and said.
Hearing this, the team couldn't help but speed up and move forward.
`````````````````````` Seeing the restaurant and the motorcade in front of them, they finally made arrangements and everyone quickly ran into the store to enjoy the cool weather. The girl got off the carriage.
, wiped the sweat on his head, looked at the sky, pursed his lips slightly, and murmured a few words, seemingly complaining about the hot weather: "Uncle Wang, take a rest first, and order some herbal tea to quench your thirst!
"
Wang Ming turned around and exhaled: "Boss, is there still room?"
After a moment, a waiter ran out of the store: "Youle" and waved his hand, leading Aotian and the others inside.
After sitting down at the table, Wang Ming turned and looked at the boy: "Give us some herbal tea and some pastries."
"Do you want anything to eat?" the waiter asked.
"After serving it, please serve some of the special dishes in your store." After thinking about it, Wang Ming said thoughtfully.
"Okay, please wait!"
Drinking the herbal tea in the cup, everyone felt a hint of coolness.
"This little brother, we don't know your name yet. Can you introduce it to me?" the woman put down the cup and said.
"Long Aotian!"
Aotian replied calmly.
"Haha, Long Aotian, it's a very good name." After hearing Aotian's answer, the lady read it lightly and smiled slightly.
Aotian seemed to have returned to that cold attitude. He just smiled back and said nothing. Seeing Aotian's performance, Madam did not ask any questions, and everyone fell into silence again.
Soon, the long rest time passed and Aotian and the others continued on their way.
It was an uneventful day, and everyone completed the day's itinerary under the scorching sun. Nothing similar to yesterday happened in the evening, and everyone quickly ushered in the next day's itinerary.
At noon that day, another group of guards appeared to be added to the team. Looking at their well-trained appearance, Aotian could feel how powerful they were. The most important thing was that each of them had
Knowing the strength of the swordsman, Aotian couldn't help but wonder, what kind of family could have such a strong strength?! I thought about it, but Aotian still didn't ask, and just continued to follow them with a skeptical attitude~`
``````````Maybe it was because the guards joined, or maybe the gang of black men gave up their mission. In short, the rest of the journey was smooth sailing, and Aotian was happy and free, hanging around all day.
The back of the team, slowly moving forward!
Today is the fifth day of marching. At noon, Aotian finally saw the towering imperial city wall in front of him: "Are you back? It's so fast!" Watching the people coming and going in front of the door, Aotian stared at the city gate.
, the eyes couldn't help but show a trace of confusion and hesitation.
"Aotian, let's go, what are you doing?" One of the guards shouted when he saw Aotian standing still.
Quickly catching up: "Oh, here I come!" Aotian walked towards the city.
Entering the city, the bustling streets are full of people, the shouts here and the shouts there are endless.
At this time, the woman in the car said: "Aotian, where are you going? We are going to South Avenue now. Are you coming with us? Do you want to go to our place to have fun?" "No, I want to go north.
!I won’t go, thank you!” After rejecting the woman’s invitation, Aotian prepared to go.
"Oh, that's it. Then remember, if you have any trouble in the imperial capital in the future, you can come to Ouyang's house at No. 4 South Avenue to come to us! I believe we may be able to help." Hearing that Aotian rejected his invitation,
After getting along with him along the way, the woman who knew his character was not surprised.
"Well, thank you, I will!" Aotian was so surprised by the woman's words that he couldn't help but murmured in his heart: "Why is she so enthusiastic about me? Did I reveal my flaws?"
"Okay, let's part ways here, remember to come and play when you have time. Uncle Wang, let's go!" After saying this politely, the woman then said to Wang Ming.
"Mother, why are you so nice to that Aotian? I have never seen you be so nice to an outsider!" The car just started, and after seeing Aotian walking away, the girl in the car asked the woman.
"Haha, Ruoshui, you are still young, and you and Duo Shi can't understand it. You will know it later!" the woman said, touching the girl's head.
"Mom, I'm not young anymore. I'll be a second-year student at Xuanwu Academy Senior College in the second half of the year. I'm not young anymore! Why do you always say I'm young!~~" Pouting her small mouth, the girl asked the woman
Acting coquettishly.
"Well, you've been restless these past few days. What's the matter? Ever since you were attacked by the man in black that night, have you often been alone in a daze?" The woman did not continue the topic but changed it to
On another topic.
Hearing the woman's words, the girl's face flushed and she immediately turned red: "Mom, no, it's not like what you said."
He smiled helplessly: "Actually, I know a little even if you don't tell me. You are probably thinking about the man in black who saved us that day, right?"
At this time, the girl simply threw herself into the Madam's arms and said coquettishly: "No, mother, how can you say that to me? But the man in black who saved us that day was really awesome!" He said the last sentence.
, the girl raised her head and said with eyes full of stars.
"Haha, you still said you didn't miss him? Just look at your expression now and I'll betray you."
"No, I just~~~~~~~~" The woman was suspicious and quibbling.
There was a sudden burst of spring light in the car, and if anyone could see it, they would surely have a nosebleed.
"Okay, stop making trouble! But it's normal for you to think about him, but aren't you afraid that he is an old man? You must know that that person should have the strength of a sword king. Generally, the masters who have reached the sword king are close to forty years old.
I'm here!" The woman helped the girl away and straightened her clothes and said.
"Is he as strong as a sword king? How could he defeat that group of people so easily? Also, his hands and eyes look like a young man!" Recalling the appearance of the man in black that day,
The girl said carefully.
Similarly, the woman's thoughts couldn't help but return to the scene that day. "Well, he should be a master at the level of the Sword King, and should be in the late stage of the Sword King! The reason why he defeated the group of people in uniform so easily that day was because he fought with all his strength.
He quickly defeated the three men and scared away the group of men in black, but you may not have noticed that he had at least three injuries that day. When he left, I noticed the blood flowing out of his body! And there was him.
Maybe your skin is good because someone else has taken good care of it. Have you ever heard of a person who reached the level of Sword King before the age of 30? It seems that the earliest person to reach this level in history was also 28 years old, right? And he has been like this for a long time.
, he was a genius a thousand years ago and later someone else became a sword god." At the end of the sentence, the woman couldn't help but laugh.
After hearing the woman's words, the girl's eyes couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "That's right, maybe someone else took care of it!" Then she asked: "Mom, is it true that he was also injured?"
"Haha, don't you still believe the look in my eyes? You must know that I have the strength of a swordsman to say this, so I can't be wrong."
"Oh, that's it! No, why are we talking about this matter? Weren't we talking about that Aotian just now?" Suddenly, the girl felt like she had been deceived.
"Haha, you don't need to know now, maybe you will know it later!" After giving it a try, the woman smiled.
"Mom, just tell me!"
"Madam, Miss, we're home." At this time, Wang Ming's voice from outside the car interrupted the mother-daughter chat.
"Let's go, we're home!" the woman said after hearing Wang Ming's words.
"Oh, okay, I'm going to see my father." She said excitedly, and quickly got out of the car and walked towards the gate.
