Chapter 51

Two days later, on a remote road in Daxuan Kingdom.

A group of more than a hundred gray-clothed soldiers escorted a carriage.

These soldiers are all carrying guns and swords, wearing mighty armor, with a mighty aura.

In front of the team, there is a big flag with a sign of an iron gate.

For such a team, the people in the escorted carriages obviously have very different identities.

Beside the carriage, an old man in gray robes was strolling. He looked lazy, but from time to time, there was a glint of light in his slightly squinted eyes, turning to the mountains and forests on both sides.

There was the sound of horseshoes in front of "Treading", and I saw a gray armor soldier coming towards me on horseback.

"Report, ten miles ahead, an abandoned temple was found. After inspection, no problems were found."

Before coming to the team, the gray armored knight dismounted and reported.

"Okay, just spend the night there!" The burly soldier captain gave an order.

With a wave of his hand, the team immediately accelerated.

"Uncle Zhang, what's the matter?"

In the middle of the line, in the sedan chair, a woman's questioning voice sounded.

"Madam, don't worry, it's just that it's getting dark, we need to find a place to adjust for the night." Beside the carriage, the old man in gray robe whispered.

"Oh." The woman in the sedan chair was slightly silent, and then sighed softly, "Uncle Zhang, this journey has been really hard for you..."

"Hehe, it's an honor for this old slave to escort my wife and young master, what's so hard about it." The old man said with a bow and a smile.

Half an hour later, the group of escorting carriages arrived in front of the ruined temple on the barren mountain on the side of the mountain road.

But the gray-robed old man frowned, looked at the fire in the temple, and said in a deep voice, "What's going on, is there someone inside?"

"Reporting to Mr. Zhang, when I found this temple, there was already a passer-by here. However, my subordinates have already checked that he is just a frail scholar, about fifteen or sixteen years old." The previous spy knight hurried up Before reporting.

Although the Emperor Nanjing of the Daxuan Kingdom has become fatuous and incompetent in the past two years, he used to pay great attention to literature and morals, and he paid great attention to imperial examinations.

The gray-robed old man frowned: "It's about the safety of the lady and the young master, how can you be careless, give that Wen Sheng some coins, and send him away."

"Uncle Zhang, there is no need. It is already late at night. In this barren hill, if that child is really a helpless Wen Sheng, driving him away may harm him."

But at this moment, the lady's words came from the sedan chair, and the next moment, the sedan door opened, and an old woman who looked like she was in her 50s walked out of it.

After the old woman got out of the car, a woman in a blue dress and a bamboo hat walked out leading a four or five-year-old boy.

"Okay." The gray-robed old man was silent for a moment, then bowed and said yes.

The next moment, a group of soldiers stepped into the temple to protect the girl in the green skirt and the boy who were wearing bamboo hats and could not see their faces clearly.

When a group of people entered the temple.

On the left side of the hall, there was a bonfire burning, and beside the fire, sat a young man in white robe.

He has a fair face and is very handsome, holding an old scroll in both hands, muttering something by the light of the fire.

"Your name? Why did you stay in this temple overnight?" The gray-robed old man looked at the handsome young man and asked coldly.

The scholar was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled slightly, "Oh, my name is Mo Yu, and my family is in Heishui City. I was going to Qinghe Town to propose marriage to my cousin, and now I'm on my way back."

The boy said with a smile, the smile was quite sunny.

Hearing this, the woman in the green dress who was heavily guarded by the soldiers couldn't help but smile gently, "You're so young, do you want to get married? Does your cousin agree?"

Although the lady's words were gentle, she still couldn't hide the aura of someone who had been in a position for a long time. After listening to her words, the scholar blinked his eyes a few times, showing his distress.

Seeing the young man, the woman in the bamboo hat thought he was rejected, shook her head slightly, and said to Uncle Zhang beside him, "He's just a child, let him stay overnight in the temple."

Uncle Zhang didn't notice the problem either, he nodded and said, "Continue reading your book."

As he spoke, he gave orders to the soldiers: "Light up a fire and cook, and be on guard!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers surrounding the woman and the little boy in the bamboo hat took orders and took action one after another.

Seeing this, the young Wen Sheng lowered his head again, and looked at the book, looking like a very obedient bookworm.

"Uncle Zhang, how long will it take to reach Heishui City?" the woman Douyu asked softly.

"Reporting to Madam, we should be able to reach it at noon the day after tomorrow..." Uncle Zhang said with a bow.

After a while, the soldiers took the animal skin tables and chairs, and set up a fire in the center of the temple.

The young Wen Sheng couldn't help staring in a daze at the orderly sight of several girls who looked like maids skillfully chopping vegetables and washing rice.

Sitting on the animal skin, the woman in the bamboo hat couldn't help smiling slightly when she saw the appearance of a young man, and said, "You haven't eaten yet, they are very skilled, you can try it later."

The young man glanced at the woman and said with a smile, "Thank you Madam for your kindness, Xiaosheng has brought his own dry food."

During the conversation, he took out a piece of jerky from his arms and began to chew.

"Hmph, I don't know how to compliment!" The old woman on the side of the woman in the bamboo hat said coldly, although the voice was not loud, the boy still heard it.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, but then he lowered his head to look at the scroll, so that everyone present thought that the young man was afraid of the old woman and did not dare to contradict him.

The little boy beside the lady looked at the dried meat in Wen Sheng's hand, swallowed, and whispered something in the woman's ear.

The woman in the bamboo hat was slightly stunned, then shook her head softly to the little boy and said, "You can't..."

'boom! '

But just as she spoke, there was a sudden change, and a terrifying loud noise suddenly sounded outside the temple.

"Not good! Enemy attack!!"

A loud roar disturbed the night sky.

"Ah!" Then the owner of the roar uttered an extremely shrill scream.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" The next moment, the screams seemed to trigger a chain reaction, and people screamed one after another.

The faces of the gray-robed old man and the old woman all changed!
With a "Hula", a large group of gray armor soldiers rushed into the temple, armed with various swords, guarding the fighting girl and the boy in the middle, forming a defensive posture.

At the moment when the surprise appeared, Uncle Zhang even crushed a red jade talisman in his hand, turning it into a light red halo, covering his wife and the young master in it.

And he was standing outside the shield, staring at the dark night outside the temple gate with narrowed eyes.

The screams continued to ring out, but within a few tens of breaths, the temple was completely silent.

The utter silence was eerily quiet.

Everyone in the temple became more and more nervous and vigilant.

Uncle Zhang's face was gloomy. Suddenly, he flicked his sleeves, and two silver knives as thin as wings appeared in his hands.

He waved his hands, "Hoo! Shoo!" Two throwing knives pierced through the temple roof like two silver lightning bolts.

"Gululu." There was a rolling sound on the temple cover, and then two black-clothed masked corpses fell from the temple roof and fell in front of the hall gate.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!" There was a loud voice, and Zhang Bo shot and killed the two men in black, without stopping, and even sent out three more throwing knives, shooting toward the wall on one side of the temple.

"Ah, ah, ah!" The three flying knives pierced through the wall, and three screams were heard from behind the wall, almost at the same time.

"No, this old eunuch's martial arts internal strength has reached the acquired level, don't use weapons to block the darts." A startling voice suddenly came from behind the wall on the other side of the temple.

Hearing the sound, Eunuch Zhang sneered, and as he waved his hand, another throwing knife shot out.

'Puff' broke through that wall!
But this time, there was no scream.

"Huh?" Eunuch Zhang's face changed slightly.

The wall that "bang" suddenly collapsed, revealing a dense crowd of men in black outside the wall.

There are more than 200 people, all of them covered their faces in black, with bows and swords drawn, murderous.

Seeing this scene, Eunuch Zhang's face became gloomy, and the girl Douyu's delicate body trembled imperceptibly.

Eunuch Zhang looked extremely ugly, suddenly he felt something, turned around, and looked coldly at the entrance of the hall with a pair of old eyes.

"Hey~~~" A strange and erratic voice sounded, and it came from nowhere, and it penetrated extremely.

Outside the door, black air rolled up, and a vague figure suddenly appeared, with a faint evil black air all over his body, his face was unclear, but there were faint green glows on both sides.

"I've heard about Duke Zhang of Dongchang for a long time, and his military strength is superb. Seeing him today, it's really good, hehe~~"

The indistinct figure laughed extremely ghostly, his body was boneless, swaying, and walked into the temple.

As he approached, the temperature of the void seemed to drop rapidly.

Eunuch Zhang looked at the other party, his eyes were uncertain, and he carefully recalled the memory, but suddenly, his face changed drastically, and he screamed in shock, "You are the night ghost Li!"
