4 Distress on the way
As dawn broke the next day, everyone woke up one after another.
Murphy straightened his hair, then took out a towel from his bag and went to wash by the river.
At this time, there were many people by the river, and Murphy didn't care. He first rinsed his mouth with water, and then wiped his face and arms carefully with a damp towel. Murphy, who was concentrating on cleaning himself, didn't notice that many people around her were secretly watching her. The arms that were inadvertently exposed were white, smooth and graceful. The color of porcelain jade loomed in the morning light, which was extraordinarily attractive.
Seeing such a situation, many men who haven't hugged a woman for a long time can't help but swallow their saliva, even those who are not masculine have some reverie, and the "heroic" action just now can't help but " Sven" down.
People didn't doubt her gender because of this. First, her movements were too natural and her expression was too calm. Second, they never thought that any woman would show her arms so generously.
When Murphy finished grooming and was about to get up, a small pebble was suddenly thrown into the water, splashing a lot of water.
Mo Fei looked back and saw Gu He was standing behind her with his chest folded, with a half-smile on his face: "Young man, you are really lovely, someone admires him, are you willing to accept someone's pursuit?"
Murphy was stunned, is this a public show of love? She lowered her eyes, stood up and said lightly, "I'm sorry, I'm not good at this."
Gu He walked to him and leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Happiness shouldn't be restrained, as long as the teenager is willing to try it, he will know the taste."
When he stopped, Murphy gave him a sideways glance and said coldly, "Please don't tease me again. Although I am humble, I will not allow others to humiliate me."
Gu He evoked a sinister smile, and didn't bother to let him leave. Just now, he felt that the glance of the phoenix eyes also revealed a different style. As for what he said, he automatically ignored it. With his personality, how could he give up just because of a few words?
"Guhe, failed again?" There was a roar from the side.
Gu He retorted proudly: "Is the flower on the high cliff so easy to climb and break?"
"Haha, then don't fall."
Gu He shrugged, ignoring the laughing crowd and walking away.
"What? Guhe is looking for you?" Wei Xuan asked not far from the carriage.
Murphy nodded, but said nothing.
"Warriors are all arrogant and wanton people, you must be careful these two days, as long as you arrive at Yanzhu City, you can part ways."
"I know." People in this era are unrestrained and unrestrained, without too many secular rules, bold words, and laughter. She didn't hate this kind of folk customs, but she was a little troubled by their hobby of taking all men and women.
It seems that she needs to be more cautious in her actions in the future. She can no longer bring the original way of doing things to this era, and even the appearance of a man will still attract right and wrong.
The motorcade drove slowly, Murphy continued to practice speaking with Wei Xuan, and listened to him talk about current affairs by the way.
The journey is boring and long. Walking under the scorching sun, everyone sweats profusely, their movements are slow, and their spirits seem a little sluggish.
Murphy looked around, on the left is a high mountain cliff with vines intertwined on the mountain wall; on the right is a dense forest, full of greenery.
This is a rare scenery in the world, with green mountains and green waters, which is very suitable for outings. Just thinking about it, her chest suddenly became hot, she quickly took out the jade talisman hanging around her neck, and started to heat up, with a faint glow.
How is this going? Yufu is actually hot? This is something that has never happened before.
When he was at a loss, a scream suddenly came from not far away.
"There is an ambush! Everyone be careful!" As soon as the warning sound fell, a group of menacing men rushed out from the woods on the right, shouting to kill with knives or axes in their hands.
"It's a bandit." Wei Xuan whispered, his face pale.
The idler on the side also trembled while holding the burden.
Mo Fei trembled in his heart, and quickly took out his military dagger from his backpack, held it tightly in his hand, and watched the situation in the field vigilantly.
There were about seventy bandits who came over, and the caravan hired five warriors from the samurai camp, and there were only a dozen or so capable warriors, and the rest were just ordinary domestic servants. After two rounds, he was killed and wounded by the bandits.
But within a few minutes, the caravan was killed and injured, and the screams were endless. Although the five warriors were very skilled, they couldn't take care of everyone and could only give priority to protecting Team Xu and a few important personnel.
At this time, a bandit rushed towards the carriage of Murphy and others with a knife, and the others got out of the car to avoid it immediately.
The knife slashed straight down in front of her, and Murphy slanted to hide. Seeing the knife cut across her nose, she immediately raised the dagger to cut through the bandit's arm with the knife, and before he could scream in pain, she stretched out her legs and kicked him. the lower abdomen. Although the movement is still agile, it is a pity that the strength is not enough, but it only kicked the person back a few steps.
"His grandma is a bear!" The bandit wiped his bloody arm and slashed at her again with a ferocious expression.
Oops! Murphy's heart tightened, and he couldn't escape this time.
Seeing the light of the sword flashing, she could only hold her breath and stand stiffly. At the time of the crisis, she only heard the sound of "clang", and a sword suddenly stretched out beside her, which violently blocked the sword that was slashing at Murphy.
"Hey, boy, are you alright?" Gu He raised his sword and showed Murphy a bright smile.
Mo Fei's face was expressionless, but there was a faint trace of safety in his eyes.
The bandit was naturally not Guhe's opponent. He was beheaded to the ground in a few rounds, and blood spilled on the ground, making Murphy feel a little nauseous.
"Young man, he is good, he is not afraid of danger, and he has the demeanor of a brave man." Gu He took his sword and boasted.
Where is she not afraid of danger? She was born with facial paralysis... who has been living in a comfortable environment, where has she encountered such a killing scene? The hand under her sleeve is still shaking slightly.
"Be careful." After a warning, Gu He rushed to the other bandits again.
At this time, most of the people in the caravan have been killed or injured, and there are dozens of bandits, and several warriors are also starting to get tired, and don't know how long they can hold on.
When the situation was precarious, there was a faint rumbling of horseshoes behind him.
Murphy hurriedly looked back and saw that a group of cavalry suddenly appeared on the road in the distance, galloping towards this side with a great momentum.
The two teams of men and horses who were fighting incessantly stopped at the same time and watched the cavalry team get closer and closer.
This was a team of cavalrymen dressed in black armor, with a neat lineup and a chilling air all over their bodies. They ran past Murphy like a gust of wind, stirring up dust.
Then came the screams one after another, and when the dust dissipated, Murphy was surprised to find that there were dozens of bandits who had all been hacked to the ground, and only the rest of the caravan and the rest of the caravan stood in front. The majestic cavalry.
Murphy saw that everyone in the caravan was saluting the cavalry, but the cavalry turned a blind eye to them, not even getting off the horse, but a few cavalry wandered among the corpses. , did not turn around and leave until it was determined that everyone was dead.
There was silence in the field.
Mo Fei couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, what a fierce team this is!
Not only her, but even the few warriors didn't dare to take a breath, and the caravan leader didn't even have the courage to come forward to thank him, but he just kept bowing his hands.
Murphy stood relatively back and did not salut. She looked up and saw the man who looked like a cavalry leader, also wearing black armor, but unlike other knights, his armor was carved with dark gold. Ornately decorated, clad in a red cloak,
His long hair was tied tightly behind his head, and his face was hard to see, but his whole body was cold and awe-inspiring, just sitting on the back of a horse like that made people feel a huge sense of oppression.
Suddenly, she felt that the other party's gaze swept across her body, but when she suddenly became cold, the man had withdrawn his gaze and galloped away with a bang, leaving only a piece of dust.
"Phew, scared me to death!" One person suddenly sighed.
"Yeah! I didn't expect to meet the black iron cavalry of the country here, this time thanks to them passing by and saving our lives."
"Fortunately! Fortunately, this is our country's cavalry. If it is an enemy, then I would rather be killed by a bandit."
"What are you talking about! I think we don't have enough people dead."
Sure enough, looking at it this way, there are only fourteen people alive in the caravan, including three Murphy.
"Fu Tu, is there any injury?" Wei Xuan came over and asked with concern.
Murphy shook his head: "Nothing."
"That's good." Wei Xuan smiled reassuringly, and then sighed, "I didn't expect to meet the black iron cavalry."
"Those cavalrymen are very powerful." They had a neat lineup, a chilling aura, and superb riding skills. Murphy noticed that none of their mounts were equipped with stirrups. Perhaps the stirrups were not widely used by people of this era, but nonetheless, these The cavalry can still control the war horse flexibly and freely, and it can be said that all of them are very skilled.
"Of course it's powerful!" Wei Xuan said proudly, "Do you know why the Kingdom of Soo was able to remain stable in the melee of various countries? It was all because of the existence of the Black Iron Cavalry. They were called the strongest cavalry of the Five Kingdoms. They acted like the wind and killed them. It is decisive, and no one dares to touch its edge.”
Murphy listened with great interest, but there were also some murmurs in his heart, didn't Wei Xuan exile from Yu country to Su country? Why do you admire the cavalry of the state of Suo so much?
Wei Xuanyu continued excitedly: "The Black Iron Cavalry was created by the old general Helian thirty years ago, but the one who really shows his power is the current general Wu Yue, who is only twenty-seven or eighty years old. He is proficient in the art of war and rigorous in governing the army. When he was a teenager, he led the black iron cavalry to conquer the wandering tribes in the west, and more than doubled the territory of the state of Sang. In the past few years, he has resisted foreign enemies, conquered and killed, and no one dared to stand it. He is famous among the countries. Hehe, known as the invincible ghost general."
"Ghost general?"
"Yeah! Wu Yue is a talented person, but his methods are ruthless, and he rarely leaves a hole in the face of the enemy, so his fierce reputation is as loud as his prestige. You didn't see the black iron cavalry coming, and no one dared to say a word. "
Murphy nodded knowingly.
At this time, the Xu Zhang team, who had escaped from the dead, recovered, and shouted at the crowd to collect the bodies of the dead entourage, and then reorganized the team and prepared to leave.
Only then did Murphy notice the scene of corpses lying all over the place, and the nausea that had been suppressed faintly came out.
"Alas, now the war is raging, bandits are rampant everywhere, and it is getting harder and harder for ordinary people to survive." Wei Xuan sighed, "When will there be a Holy Master who can calm the war..."
Speaking of the back, the voice is already low and inaudible. Murphy didn't notice either. At this moment, she was both delighted to know the face of this era and apprehensive about the unpredictable future.
