Volume 2 Chapter 169 The Earth Temple

Half a day later, Liu Ming quietly left Bai's house again, and as soon as he walked out of Lushui City, he immediately summoned a gray cloud and flew away in a certain direction.

As for the divorce between him and the shepherd's family, it was naturally left to the Bai family to deal with, which was also part of the transaction.

He was even less interested in seeing the shepherd's messenger, and he didn't want to waste any more time on it.

After all, he has other things to do.

Seven or eight days later, Liu Ming left Fengtian County, and his whereabouts became unknown.

Two months later, on an official road hundreds of miles away from Xuanjing, the capital of the Great Xuan Kingdom, more than 30 black-armored knights were slowly advancing along with three carriages.

Each of these black-armored knights was wearing thick standard armor, armed with guns and knives, and looked murderous. They were the famous Black Tiger Guards of the Great Xuan Kingdom.

One of the armored soldiers had a light red long tassel on his head and a light green giant bow on his back, but it was the captain of the black guard who was in control of a team of men.

Although according to the regulations, there are only about 30 people in a team, but the black guards have always been stationed in the fortresses of the counties and towns.

Now these black tiger guards, together with the military captains, are all dispatched to escort these few carriages. It can be seen that the owner of the carriage must be rich or expensive.

"Sir, it's getting late, let's find a place to stay. If we hurry up tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we should be able to reach Xuanjing." A strong man in front of a soldier suddenly came with a horse head. In front of the lieutenant, he said in a low voice.

"Well, of course I know about it. But the nearest post station is 30 to 40 miles away. You should take two people to the front to explore and see if there is a suitable place to stay nearby." The lieutenant replied lightly, with a cold black visor on his face, which could not be seen in the slightest.

"Yes. Hei Niu and Tie Xiaosan, you can go ahead with me to explore." The strong man immediately agreed, and loudly greeted the other two soldiers behind.

Immediately, two of the soldiers in the back rushed out and three of them rushed forward.

"Lieutenant Du, is something wrong?" A magnetic female voice suddenly came from the front carriage.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Mi, I just asked a few men to go ahead and find a place to stay." The captain with the black visor heard the words and turned his head back.

"Oh, it's fine. It's all thanks to Du Junwei who escorted people all the way. When I get to Xuanjing, I will definitely reward everyone." The woman in the carriage seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but she still said very gratefully.

"Thank you for your kindness, Madam, I am also under the orders of Lord Dutong!" The lieutenant bowed slightly and seemed unwilling to say more.

After the woman in the carriage chuckled lightly, she also kept her mouth shut.

When the convoy continued to move forward for about a quarter of an hour, the sound of the horse's hooves sounded again, but it was the strong man flying horse galloping.

Once in front of the team, he slowed down the speed of the mount with the reins.

"Master Junwei, I found an abandoned temple next to the official road five miles away. Hei Niu and Tie Xiaosan have already cleaned up there." The strong man said respectfully as soon as he arrived in front of the captain.

"Very good, you lead the way, let's go to the temple to rest for a night." Hearing the words, the military captain said without thinking.

So the team immediately sped up a bit, followed the strong man to leave and started to trot.

A quarter of an hour later, the convoy was surrounded by soldiers and came to a yellow beam earth temple far away from the official road.

Outside the temple there were two black tiger guard horses, but there was also a small black carriage and two blue-and-white mules tied to a beer stake outside, and quietly nibbling on the nearby weeds with their heads bowed.

And the fire in the earth temple flickered, and there were faint voices.

"What's going on?" Du Junwei saw this, his voice sank immediately, and he asked the strong man next to him.

"Reporting to the commander, when I found this place, there were already two passers-by here. But the subordinates have already interrogated them. They went to Xuanjing for marriage, one was a famous scholar who was powerless, and the other One is just a young girl." The strong man stepped forward and replied.

"Is it a big deal, I'll take a look at the two of them first." Du Junwei seemed to be still uneasy and said lightly, then jumped off his horse and strode toward the temple.

I saw that two fires, one large and one small, had been lit in the earth temple.

There were two armored soldiers, one tall and one short, sitting beside the larger fires, while there was a young man in a blue Confucian robe and a thin girl of seven or eight years old near the smaller fires.

Although the girl was handsome, she had a yellow face and thin skin. She leaned half of her body on the young man, as if she was very attached to the young man.

On the other hand, the young Confucian scholar looked like he was twenty-seven or eight-year-old, and his face was very ordinary, but he was holding an unknown thick book in his hand, looking at the firelight with relish.

When the two soldiers beside the fire saw Du Junwei come in, they stood up in surprise, and hurried over to greet him.

"no."

"What's your name, do you have a guide, where did you come from and where are you going?" Du Junwei waved his hand, but after glancing at the scholar, he asked coldly.

"Ah, it turned out to be the military master. I went to Xuanjing with my niece to go to Xuanjing for marriage. As for Lu Yin, please wait for the military master..." When the scholar heard Du Junwei's question, he seemed to be in the world of the book. After waking up and subconsciously answering a few words, he felt around his body for a while, and finally took out a crumpled note and handed it over.

A soldier hurried forward a few steps, took the note, turned around and handed it to Du Junwei.

Du Junwei just glanced at the note, then nodded and handed it back to the soldier, asking it to be returned to the Confucian scholar. He turned around and walked out of the earth temple without saying a word.

After a while, the sound of horses screaming came from outside the temple, and more than a dozen soldiers rushed in. They began to clean the temple quickly. Several bonfires were raised.

At this time, with Xiangfeng outside, a glamorous woman in her thirties came in, holding a seven or eight-year-old boy in one hand, followed by a rough-handed maid and a A pretty girl who is only fifteen or sixteen years old.

As soon as the glamorous woman and the boy entered the earth temple, the maid immediately spread out a snow-white animal skin in her arms beside a fire, and placed two low wooden benches for the woman and the man. Child sits on it. The pretty maid took out a palm-sized incense burner and inserted a candle into it, burning it at one point.

Immediately, a faint scent of sandalwood permeated the earth temple.

When the other soldiers and Captain Nadu entered the earth temple, and after an order was given, except for five or six people standing guard at the temple gate, most of the others began to remove the armor and weapons from their bodies one by one. Take it off, and it looks like she's going to take a good rest.

As soon as that Du Junwei took off his helmet mask and armor, he was actually a slender, heroic and beautiful woman.

It's just that this woman has a reddish scar on her forehead, which ruins her appearance by two or three points. At the same time, her face is cold and abnormal, and there is no smile at all. She puts a light green bow and a barrel of black arrows beside her. Sitting cross-legged across from the beautiful woman and boy, staring at the fire, he remained silent.

At this time, the other armored soldiers began to take out some rice ball-like food from their bodies, and also ate quietly.

Black Tiger Guard is worthy of being an elite sergeant in the famous Daxuan Kingdom, and all of them seem to be well-trained.

But on the side of the glamorous woman, the servant girl had already gone outside the temple again, took out a bamboo basket from the carriage, and took out some exquisite meals for the glamorous woman and the boy to eat.

"Du Junwei, there is a lot of food here, why don't you eat some together." After the beautiful woman took out a piece of delicate pastry and fed the boy a few mouthfuls, she glanced at the young woman who was still sitting opposite. , said suddenly with a smile.

"Thank you Mrs. Mi for your kindness. I have learned some inedia techniques, even if I don't eat for two or three days, it will be fine." The Ying Ting woman glanced at the glamorous woman and shook her head indifferently.

"So that's the case, then the concubine is not forced to be a military captain." Seeing this, the glamorous woman did not get angry, but continued to feed the boy with a slight smile.

But after taking a few more bites, the boy shook his head and stopped eating. Instead, after rolling his eyes, he looked curiously at the girl next to the scholar at the fire on the other side.

I saw that the girl had a steaming yellow steamed bun in her hand at some point, bit by bit, and swallowed it seriously.

"Slow down, don't choke." The scholar was still looking at the book in his hand, but after seeing the girl swallowing hard, he said with a slight smile, and when he moved his arm, he actually took out a still Some warm leather bags were handed to the girl. "

"Thank you brother Ming"

The girl took the leather bag very obediently and poured two sips into her small mouth, her face full of smiles.

However, there was a faint fragrance in the leather bag, but because it was far less intense than the smell of sandalwood, few people noticed it. But the glamorous woman who was persuading the boy to eat, when she smelled this fragrance, her face couldn't help but slightly startled, and she looked away at the leather bag in the girl's hand with almost doubt.

"Sir, may I ask what's in this leather bag..." After this lady's eyes flashed a few times, she wanted to say something to the young scholar with a light cough.

But at this moment, a piercing scream came from outside the temple, and then there was a sound of breaking through the air. After a few black tiger guards standing outside the temple gate screamed, they were pulled out of the black night by more than a dozen sticks. The arrows shot from the piercing holes pierced through the body and fell down one after another.

This time, the black guards who were resting in the temple were all in chaos, and the first who didn't care to put on the armor grabbed the swords beside him one after another, and made an alert posture.

Some people even took out a few thick leather shields from nowhere, and the silhouettes swayed in front of Mrs. Mi and the boy, protecting them tightly.
