It had already been eighteen days since they left the capital. Chu very soon arrived at a small town.
It was now noon, but not a single person could be seen in this town. It was not winter or summer, and the surrounding autumn leaves were rustling. Even in such a high and refreshing autumn noon, not a single person could be seen in this town.
The atmosphere was very strange. Chu very quickly pulled the reins of the horse under his crotch. The horse's hooves were raised high into the air and it forcibly stopped on the spot.
Dongfang Haoran said from behind: "Let's rest here for the night. We've traveled for two days in a row, it must be tiring."
" Brother Dongfang, that's exactly what I meant. " Kang Qing chimed in.
It seemed like the two of them had colluded against each other and were now completely in cahoots with each other.
Chu very much frowned, but he continued to move forward. The sound of horse hooves came from the empty street, and it sounded like the dark street Zhao Yali threw onto.
Dongfang Haoran and Kang Qing had already dismounted from their horses. Their eyes were moving around as if they were looking for a place to land.
At this moment, the black-clad general that was following them was a person from the Royal Palace. He had no last name, and had come with a decree. He didn't get down from the horse, but hit the horse's butt with his whip and rushed to Chu Gong's side, "General Chu, this place looks quite unusual, do you want to listen to Vice General Dongfang and Vice General Kang Qing and rest here for the night?"
The position of general was conferred by the Emperor, while the others were all vice generals.
Chu Tianlang was very satisfied with this black-clothed general. He was a soldier and knew that he had to follow the orders of his superiors. However, the guy from the east had dismounted without my permission and was preparing to rest.
" "Let's see if there's anything abnormal around here. If there isn't, then let's rest here." After all, Chu Tianjiao was now a general, the leader of this group of people. He did not want to be careless in the past and act with caution.
Just at this moment, a crisp sound rang out from behind him.
Then, Princess Xuan You Ran screamed and jumped up. "Chu Chao! You bastard! Come and help me catch that rabbit! It's so cute! I want to keep it!"
"Yes." Chu Mu turned around and looked at the lady helplessly. Do you really need me, a general, to do such a small thing?
Chu very much wanted to tell the general beside him to do this boring thing, but after seeing Xuan You Ran's excited face, he decided to do it himself.
He jumped off the horse and arrived at a spot about one meter away from the little white rabbit.
At this moment, the little white rabbit felt the movement and wanted to run away. But who was Chu Ji? A Xiantian level reader, there was no room for it to escape. A wave of psychokinesis suddenly swept out and caught the little white rabbit.
When Dongfang Haoran saw this, his eyes widened. This guy's cultivation was at a thousand miles per day, much stronger than when he first arrived.
" Take it, seriously, such a small matter would have to trouble this general to do it. " Chu Tian curled his lips.
Xuan You took the little white rabbit into his embrace and pouted, "I'm still a princess. You're just a small general, aren't you? Listen to me obediently."
" Right now, you are a deputy general, and there are only generals and orders on the battlefield, not princesses. "
Humph!
Xuan You Ran was too lazy to argue with Chu Yu, so he turned his head and toyed with the little white rabbit.
Chu Wuwei originally wanted to explain some grand principles to Xuan You, but he also wanted to remind Dongfang Haoran and Kang Qing not to go overboard in their actions. He wanted to learn from the black-clothed general.
However, the words coming out of his mouth were forcefully swallowed back when he saw Xuan You Ran's expression.
At this moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the window of a nearby hut. A pair of eyes swiveled as a clear and childish voice rang out, "Big sister, don't hug the little white rabbit. It is the Water Ghost's messenger."
" Water Ghost's emissary? "
Chu Feng felt that something was amiss. Just as he was about to go over to ask the reason behind the incident, he saw that the window had been slammed shut. An angry middle-aged woman's voice came from inside, "Child, don't speak carelessly, what if the water ghost catches you? Stay inside the house and don't look out."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After knowing that there was someone in this house, Chu Mu walked up to the door and knocked a few times. "Old man, open the door."
In fact, when the old man called out this sentence, even Chu Feng himself was shocked. The old man's voice sounded like he was only 50 years old, which was not right. Perhaps it was because he had seen too much of Journey to the West when he was young.
Eh?
There was no sound from inside.
Chu Danchen continued to knock on the door, "Auntie, help me open the door."
There was still no response. Was this person mute?
Chu Tian was slightly angry and said in a loud voice, "Auntie, we are the soldiers of the Mystic Fragrance Empire. We have been marching for several days and we don't know if we can spend the night at your place."
Hearing that it was a soldier from the Mystic Fragrance Empire, the woman slowly opened the door.
She saw that the person in front of her was a wrinkled old woman with a haggard appearance. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a loud vibration coming from the village entrance. She turned her head and let out a cry before closing the door.
Chu Tian helplessly turned his head around.
Shan Lie was panting heavily as he ran over, one step at a time. A huge crater was formed on the stone floor. "Very, you guys are going too fast. You didn't even wait for me."
Chu Danchen and the others could ride their horses, but Shan Lie could not. His body was too big. If they were to ride a normal horse, they would be crushed to death, let alone carry it.
However, Shan Lie's speed was extremely fast. As expected of someone from the Beastmen race, every step he took was equivalent to three to four steps on a fast horse.
Seeing that Shan Lie was so tired, Chu Feng really wanted to plan a way for him to get there. However, after thinking for a bit, he realized that he would have to go north to the Wilderness to subdue a wild beast.
" "Can't you be a bit quieter? With that, you caused the door that I finally managed to open to shut again."
" "Knock on the door?" Shan Lie looked doubtfully at Chu Mu. After being stunned for a while, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Come, let me call for you."
" You'll help me call him? " Chu Tianlang's eyes widened.
" Don't, don't, don't be impulsive, you're scaring me to death. " However, Chu Feng did not have enough time to warn him. Shan Lie only took two steps to arrive in front of him.
Chu very aggressively jumped back a few steps, afraid that he would be knocked flying by this fella.
However, at this time, Shan Lie had already arrived at the entrance of that house. His hammer-like fists were slowly coming out, and Chu Mu had already closed his eyes.
