Nangong Jin calmed down her panicked friends in the carriage, got out of the carriage, and immediately saw Qin Hong coming over with several divine guards escorting Lu Chen and the others.
"Auntie, why are they?" Nangong Jin asked with a surprised look on her face. Aren't these the same people she met at the inn yesterday?
She was a little puzzled as to why they were here.
Qin Hong looked a little unhappy and said: "We have just been attacked by men in black. These people are standing not far away and watching coldly. I suspect that they are spies sent by the enemy!"
When Lu Chen heard Qin Hong explaining this to Nangong Jin, he couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
Spying on you?
I want to kill a few of you ants, easily!
Do I have too much time to waste this time?
If Qin Hong and the others knew that they were escorting a legendary swordsman, they would not know how they would feel.
"Oh, is that what happened?" Nangong Jin's face was cold, and a pair of proud phoenix eyes glanced at Lu Chen and the others, and he couldn't help but frown.
"Since they are spies, we can just kill them. Why did we bring them here?" The middle-aged man in yellow robe was carrying a dark blue sword and walked over with an indifferent expression.
Qin Hong said in a deep voice: "Uncle Liu, you must not do this. After all, we are not those people who kill people and butcher dogs!"
"Find out their identities first!"
"I just suspect that they have ulterior motives. If they happened to pass by by chance, wouldn't they be innocent and wrongfully accusing a good person?"
When Lu Chen heard these words, he looked at Qin Hong's back in surprise. Although this woman seemed a little unreasonable, she actually heard that someone was going to kill them, so she didn't expect to speak out to protect them.
She has a kind heart.
This was beyond his expectation.
Nangong Jin's cold eyes slowly swept across Lu Chen and the other three, and found that none of them had any aura of warriors on their bodies, and the color of thinking in their eyes deepened.
"Send a few more Divine Guards to keep an eye on them. If they make any rash move, they will be killed without mercy!"
"We are escorting Xiangling back to Tianhuo City. There will definitely be many enemies spying on us along the way. Everyone, please be vigilant!"
"It's getting late, hurry up and hurry up!"
Qin Hong nodded, and then brought a war horse from the divine guard nearby and asked Lu Chen to take Zhao Xiaozhu to ride one.
She herself took Ji Xue to ride a horse, the wheels rolling, ruthlessly crushing the corpses on the ground. After a delay, the convoy set off.
In this way, Lu Chen and the others joined the Nangong Family's motorcade inexplicably.
At ten o'clock at noon, the gentle sunshine shone on the earth, and the snow on the ground showed many signs of melting.
However, this is a land of snow and rivers, and although the temperature has risen, it is still very cold.
Even if there is warm sunshine, ordinary people will freeze into popsicles when walking in this ice and snow without wearing a cotton-padded jacket to keep out the cold.
Fortunately, no one in the Nangong family's team is an ordinary person. Whether they are guards or these sword masters, they can completely rely on the strong internal strength in their bodies to keep out the cold.
The only ordinary people in the motorcade were Ji Xue and Zhao Xiaozhu, as well as the young lady from the Luo family sitting in the carriage.
Miss Luo was sitting in the carriage. Needless to say, she must have taken measures to keep warm before setting off.
Lu Chen and Zhao Xiaozhu rode a war horse together. The invisible power of heaven and earth surrounded them, resisting all wind and snow, as if they were walking on a sunny path in spring, without any feeling of biting cold wind.
Ji Xueqiong, who had put on fox fur, had her nose red from the cold, her face was also red, and she sneezed several times in succession along the way.
Qin Hong, who was standing behind her, saw Ji Xue shivering from the cold and quickly used her true energy to dispel the cold.
Lu Chen, who was walking nearby, noticed this scene and couldn't help but have a slightly different impression of this woman.
After the convoy traveled about thirty miles, the sky finally dimmed.
The people are tired and the horses are exhausted, and the boats and carriages are exhausted.
The convoy finally came to a halt in a wilderness forest. Everyone dismounted and camped on the spot, preparing to spend the night and recharge their batteries.
Lu Chen and the other three were taken aside and closely guarded by seven divine guards.
Qin Hong quickly arranged for the guards to be divided into four teams, with eight people in each team, spreading out over a hundred feet to provide warning.
The person in the carriage over there also stepped out, wearing a light yellow dress and a white fox fur. His graceful figure was so moving walking in the snow.
Lu Chen glanced out of the corner of his eye and thought it was indeed Miss Luo Xiangling.
As night fell, several bonfires were lit in the woods.
The dozen or so Divine Guards had a clear division of labor. Those who gathered materials, fetched water, set up camp, and prepared dry food were all doing their own work. There was no mess in the whole process.
Even Lu Chen couldn't help but secretly sigh that this well-trained army was worthy of being the famous divine guard in Canglan land.
After a while, a simple camp appeared.
It’s a cold night, let’s have a bonfire to dispel the chill!
Lu Chen and the others were warming themselves up by the fire, watching the people around them busy, feeling calm inside.
Along the way, Miss Nangong and the woman in red leather armor didn't speak to him much.
But Lu Chen has an amazing ear. From their chat conversations, he not only learned their names, but also overheard many secrets.
The highest-ranking people in the carriage team were the woman in white, Nan Jin, and Luo Xiangling, the daughter of the Luo family, who was sitting in the carriage.
Next are middle-aged Liu Qing in yellow robe, Qin Hong, a woman in red armor, and Kou Qing, the housekeeper of the Luo family!
From their conversation, Chase Lu learned that it turned out that the Nangong family and the Luo family were family friends.
It goes without saying that the Nangong family's status in Canglan Continent goes without saying, and although the Luo family is not among the five major wealthy families in Canglan Continent, it is still a famous existence in terms of status.
It is said that the Luo family is the richest family in the land of Canglan. They do not strive for hegemony in the world, but their business is spread all over the world. They control more than 70% of the wealth in the land of Canglan. They claim that their wealth can reach the gods and their wealth can rival the country.
Along the way, the convoy encountered many assassination attacks, and the mastermind behind the scenes was most likely the Helian family, one of the five major families.
The blazing bonfire shone on the faces of Lu Chen and the three of them, and all of them turned red.
After a while, Qin Hong came over with some rough cakes and handed a little to each of them.
"Eat something, there is no delicious food in the convoy, please be patient!" Qin Hong said casually.
Lu Chen caught the whole grain and felt it was a little warm. He put it in his mouth and began to chew it slowly.
Ji Xue looked at the rough and hard dry food in her hand, her beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but frown, as if it was a little hard to swallow.
Zhao Xiaozhu was probably very hungry, so he put the whole grain in his mouth and started to bite it, appearing to enjoy it very much.
Not far away, a group of senior figures in the motorcade were eating cooked beef and discussing in low voices the itinerary of the escort mission.
The two groups of people are treated completely differently.
Everything was calm. When Lu Chen saw Ji Xue holding the coarse grains and looking thoughtful, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Xue'er, I heard that when you were in Linglong Pavilion, you were proficient in playing piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, playing, playing, and singing!"
"The moonlight is very beautiful tonight. It's a long night. I just have nothing to do today, so why not dance to cheer me up?"
"Until now, I have never seen you dancing!"
When Zhao Xiaozhu heard this, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded: "Okay, sister Xue'er, you will dance beautifully!"
When Ji Xue heard this, she looked around at the unfamiliar faces, her pretty face suddenly turned red, and he hesitated: "Brother Lu, there are so many people, so let's forget it!"
She seemed not used to performing in front of these strangers.
"I can't forget it, it's really boring just sitting like this all night!" Lu Chen said with a smile.
"Just dance for everyone to cheer up!"
"The moon is bright and clear, and it is rare for God to do something beautiful!"
"If one day you leave, I won't have the chance to watch you dance!"
Qin Hong stood aside and glanced at Ji Xue, who had a low eyebrow in surprise, and her expression changed slightly.
"Is it appropriate?" Ji Xue said shyly after hearing Lu Chen's words.
Lu Chen smiled calmly and said: "What's inappropriate about this? Dancing is meant to entertain people, and it's the same for everyone!"
"Just treat these people as your guests and don't be so nervous!"
“It’s been a long time since I’ve watched other people dance, I’m really jealous!”
Ji Xue smiled shyly and said with a somewhat nervous expression: "Sir, Xiaoxue can't do it, let's try another day!"
"No, you can do it, you have to believe in yourself!" Lu Chen looked at the other person with an encouraging look.
Qin Hong, who was next to her, couldn't help but taunted: "Humph, you are in trouble, but you are still interested in watching others dance. I don't know where you are feeling!"
"Why, I'm watching my Xue'er dance, do you want to take care of it?" Lu Chen said with a slightly cold expression.
Qin Hong said coldly: "I can't control it, but just don't have any bad intentions. Otherwise, don't blame me if it disturbs your enjoyment!"
Just when Lu Chen and Qin Hong were arguing, Ji Xue suddenly stood up and said: "Master, you brought Xue'er out of Linglong Pavilion. Xue'er has nothing to repay, so I will give you a dance!"
After saying that, he took off his clothes and jacket, revealing the loose red sleeves of the snow skirt, walked straight to the blank snow field next to him, and started dancing as if there was no one else around.
However, when she moved, she seemed to be a different person, full of aura. Her face was pink with a hint of red lips, and she looked shy but eager to speak. Her beauty was like pink peach petals, and her behavior was like an orchid.
.
The graceful woman, with clear face and white shirt, blue silk and ink dye, and elegant colorful fan, looks like a fairy or a spirit, like a water spirit, as if she came from a dream.
A spring moon in the sky opens the palace mirror, and the woman under the moon sometimes raises her wrists and lowers her eyebrows, sometimes lightly relaxes her hands. She closes the fan in her hand and holds it, like a dragon painting a painting with a pen, her jade sleeves are filled with wind, she is elegant and vigorous.
The sound of music is clear and calm in the ears, and the folding fan in the hand is like a wonderful pen or a silk string, turning, flicking, opening, closing, twisting, rounding, and bending, and the flowing water flows like a dragon and a flying phoenix.
She dances like a beautiful butterfly, twisting like a graceful wicker, and her beauty is intoxicating.
The frosty snow-colored robe, the wide long cuffs have a charming bright red cloud pattern, the long silver hair is messy and flying in the wind, and the flawless face is extremely handsome.
A pair of silver eyes are like the rippling water of a river under the moon, clear and deep, and a crimson crescent mark between the eyebrows makes the whole face appear somewhat noble and proud.
