These men who lick blood from the blade of a knife all the year round are relatively forthright people. Who would take these trivial things seriously?
Maybe at a critical moment, these brothers around me will save lives. Fighting is just fighting, and no one will bear grudges over trivial things. Tomorrow, we will be good brothers who care about each other and depend on each other for life and death.
Drinking from a big bowl and eating a large piece of meat, there was no intrigue. Listening to the laughter and curses of these forthright men, and experiencing these simple folk customs, Lu Chen couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, and seemed to enjoy it. This life is called passionate!
It is worth mentioning that when the bald man was dividing the rabbit meat, he specially gave Lu Chen a large piece, which made many people jealous.
The bald man is the deputy commander of the caravan. In terms of strength, he is second only to the commander Dong Qiu. He has considerable prestige in the caravan. However, when he looked at Lu Chen, his eyes showed a trace of respect.
When Lu Chen entered the caravan today, the bald man noticed the heavy sword behind him at first sight. Judging from his long aura and agile figure, he knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary character.
The bald man has been traveling all over the country for so many years, and his experience is definitely richer than that of ordinary people. When traveling around the world, the most important thing is to learn to observe people's emotions. After so many years of ups and downs, he can basically tell at a glance who is pretending and who is really capable.
Obviously, in his eyes, Lu Chen is the kind of person who is really capable, otherwise, he would not care about him so much.
After a while, a very beautiful woman got out of the luxurious carriage accompanying the caravan, and walked towards the camp with the housekeeper and several maids.
Her waist-length black hair is tied with a delicate red hairpin, and her delicate oval face is covered with a faint smile. She does not apply makeup but reflects the sun and snow. She has a graceful figure, watery eyes, and skin as white as snow. Although she is not absolutely stunning,
Beautiful appearance, but gives people a very attractive feeling.
This woman slowly walked toward the crowd, dressed in a long purple dress, with the autumn wind blowing and ribbons fluttering. She exuded a mature and elegant temperament, which was very charming.
The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent. All eyes turned to the young woman.
"This woman is so beautiful, especially her temperament, which is very attractive!" When Lu Chen saw her for the first time, he immediately felt astonished.
In terms of beauty, among the women he knew, she was worse than Murong Ziyun and Li Mengjun, but in terms of temperament, she was definitely the most unique.
"Miss, why are you here!" The bald man quickly stood up and said, his rough face looking extremely respectful.
Seeing the deputy commander stand up, everyone who was sitting next to the fire also stood up. In front of the eldest lady, none of the guards dared to show off.
Faced with this occasion, Lu Chen also stood up. He could see that this woman should be the owner of the caravan. It was better to be respectful in front of the owner. After all, when he asked the caravan for a ride during the day, he almost
After being rejected by the housekeeper, it was this woman who relented and allowed him to join the caravan smoothly.
"Everyone, please sit down. Don't be formal. You have been tired all day and need a good rest!" The woman in the purple skirt waved her hands and said with a smile. Her kind smile made her look very approachable.
"Okay!" Hearing this, the bald man nodded and smiled, and quickly asked everyone to sit down: "It's okay, brothers, please sit down!"
After seeing the guards all sitting down, the woman in the purple skirt smiled lightly and said, "It's been a bumpy journey and the boat and carriage are tiring. We all have worked hard. If you need anything, just ask, and the caravan will definitely satisfy you!"
"You're welcome, Miss!" said the bald man
Zi grinned and said: "We rude men are used to it. This little hardship is nothing, and there is no blood or flesh. As long as we can safely escort the caravan to Yuyang County, that's all!"
"That's good, I've been working hard for you all for the time being. As long as the caravan can reach your hometown in Yuyang County safely, the family will not treat you badly!" The woman in the purple skirt laughed softly, and her bright smile bloomed like a pear blossom, which made people feel happy.
Some men were fascinated by it.
The bald man smiled and said: "Don't worry, eldest lady, as long as we brothers are here, no one can try to attract the attention of the caravan!"
Then he turned to the people behind him and said, "Brothers, am I right?"
"That's right, with us here, whoever causes trouble will have his head chopped off!"
"That is, if you want to attack our caravan, then you have to ask me if I agree with the knife in my hand!"
The woman in purple skirt looked at this scene and smiled knowingly: "Butler, pour the wine!"
After hearing his lady's order, the silver-haired old man quickly summoned several maids, each holding a large wine jar, and poured wine for the guards present.
The bald man said: "No, young lady, we have to keep vigil all night. If we drink, we might cause trouble!"
"Let the brothers have some drinks. It won't bother you. It's quite cold at night, so it's best to warm yourself up!" the woman in the purple skirt laughed softly. Her approach was very heart-warming.
The bald man did not refuse anymore, took the big bowl handed over by the maid, and drank it happily.
At this time, the silver-haired old man said loudly: "Brothers, be careful at night, don't let those bandits take advantage of the situation. The lady has ordered that when we return to our hometown in Yuyang County, each person will be rewarded with fifteen taels of silver, and then we will entertain everyone.
A feast at the most expensive restaurant in the county, everyone can share!"
"Miss Renyi!"
"Thank you, Miss!"
Hearing this, the guards all expressed their gratitude in unison, and each one of them looked extremely excited. They were rough and arrogant men who had been licking blood from their knives all year round, just to gain money.
Now that you can get both wages and a large reward, whoever is unhappy will naturally work harder.
Lu Chen looked at this scene indifferently and couldn't help but secretly sigh: "This woman is really good at winning people's hearts. She bought the hearts of these guards with just a few words. Businessmen are very smart. However, her approach is really comfortable. Who would touch it?"
If you have a master like this, you will work harder!"
"Brother, have a bowl!" At this time, the woman in purple skirt came to Lu Chen's side and poured a bowl for Lu Chen herself.
Lu Chen was a little flattered, and quickly reached out to take the wine bowl from the other person's hand, and said gently: "Thank you, Miss!"
"After a long journey, if the caravan is not well-received, please let us know!" The woman in the purple skirt smiled at Lu Chen generously, showing that she was very considerate and tactful in dealing with others.
Lu Chen smiled faintly: "You're welcome, Miss. I got a ride, and I am the one who should be grateful!"
"What's the point? Everyone troubles others sometimes, and the war outside is chaotic and bandits are rampant. It's too unsafe for you to travel alone. If you are with our caravan, you will have someone to take care of you!" Guo Xiuyun said calmly, Lu Chen said
In her eyes, he was just a down-and-out ordinary warrior with nothing worthy of her attention.
She asked Lu Chen to join the caravan out of pure kindness.
Lu Chen was startled when he heard the sound, and then he stopped laughing: "The eldest lady is absolutely right, when you are walking outside, everyone will cause trouble to others!"
"Just think about it this way, just tell me if you need anything!" Guo Xiuyun smiled softly, turned around and left with the maid.
After the other party left, Lu Chen sat down and continued to light the fire.
Heizi next to him pulled his sleeves and said with a smile: "Isn't our eldest lady pretty?"
"Well, she is indeed pretty and kind!" Lu Chen nodded.
Heizi said: "That's because the eldest lady is famous for her kindness in our family. She treats her subordinates like family members. I have been working here for almost ten years!"
"This is your blessing as a subordinate!" Lu Chen said with a smile.
Heizi said with a longing look on his face: "The eldest lady is kind-hearted and very capable. Under her leadership, the family is prosperous. She has always been the goddess of dreams in our hearts. Whoever marries her home will be happy.
!”
"Look at you, stop talking and marry her back if you can!" Lu Chen joked.
Heizi sighed and said: "Forget it, a man like me with a mud-legged background has no qualifications to win the title of eldest lady. I am already very satisfied if I stay in the family and serve her!"
"By the way, what's your eldest lady's name?" Lu Chen asked.
"The eldest lady's name is Guo Xiuyun, she is a famous beauty in our Yuyang County! What, you want to pay attention to her too?" Heizi looked at Lu Chen with a sly look.
Lu Chen laughed and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not interested in your eldest lady!"
"Our eldest lady is so outstanding, beautiful, and kind-hearted. If you're not interested yet, just blow it!" Heizi rolled his eyes and said, not believing what Lu Chen said at all.
Lu Chen smiled lightly and said: "There are many people who are better than your eldest lady, what's so surprising about it!"
"What do you mean, you look down on our eldest lady? Let me tell you, the eldest lady is an unattainable goddess in my heart, and no one can taint her identity at will!" Heizi said with his eyes widened, Lu Chen's words seemed to make him
Angry.
Lu Chen laughed dumbly: "Okay, okay, let's not talk anymore. Your eldest lady is the most beautiful, okay!"
"That's pretty much it!" Heizi felt a little better after hearing Lu Chen say this.
It was late at night, people were tired and horses were exhausted, dry wood was crackling in the fire, some guards were dozing back to back, everything was very quiet.
A gust of autumn wind blew with a hint of chill, gently passing through the grassland and woods, the leaves were flying, and the grass fields were lightly bent.
Lu Chen sat cross-legged on the open ground, closed his eyes, and was immersed in the world of wind.
The wind blew through the hair on his head, flying messily, with a strange wave appearing in his mind.
The autumn wind is a bit bleak, and when it drifts, it is like a lover's whisper, making people feel happy.
When it is strong, the wind blows across the earth, as if a god is roaring, destroying everything.
When it's weird, it's the ghosts howling in the dark night, which is frightening.
Lu Chen's heart was blown by the wind and turned into a gust of wind and flew out of his body, just like a fish swimming in the ocean of wind, enjoying the pleasure brought by the wind without restraint.
Suddenly, there was a strange sound in the autumn wind around him. Although it was very slight, it was still noticed by Lu Chen.
It feels like there are unwanted noises in a beautiful piano music, disrupting the beautiful rhythm of the piano.
