Chapter 484: Continue Escort
The next morning, the mountains were surrounded by thick fog. Zhang Long got out of bed, stretched himself and shouted, "Refreshing!" Last night was sweet and beautiful, and today was full of energy.
He put on his shoes and socks, put on his clothes, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, then went to the toilet, still recalling the delicious taste of yesterday.
It is so enchanting that the body and mind feel soft and gentle, like a fairy or a god.
The only downside was that he fell asleep inexplicably after entering the room last night. Perhaps he was too drunk to talk to her, but after waking up, the two women in the room said that he was extremely powerful and showed his masculinity. He was the only one in the world.
Words of praise are endless.
Seeing that the two were satisfied, he was also extremely satisfied, complacent, and confident. He even boasted that all the men in the world, except him, Zhang Long, were just like that.
There is no other choice.
Zhang Long did not forget today's mission. No matter how wonderful Panjiu City was, he could not stay there for long. Otherwise, Wowo Township would really become a hero's tomb.
After waking up Zhao Hu, the two of them went downstairs to eat and drink. As they had to hurry on their way, they did not dare to drink any alcohol. After swallowing the hot porridge, most of the drunkenness from yesterday went away. They fastened their clothes tightly, and they looked really impeccable.
The bald man with a scar on his head looked ferocious, his square face and sharp eyes showed fierceness, and he was tall. Standing here, he looked like a door god, or a tiger blocking the road. The remaining power dissipated, and the men and women several meters around him retreated and scattered, and no one dared to approach.
The two men went to the stable, woke up the prisoner, and were about to set off again. They thought they would have to spend some more time talking, using some threats and insults.
Unexpectedly, after just two shouts, the prisoner woke up, climbed up from the ground with difficulty, and staggered over step by step, dragging an iron ball weighing more than ten pounds.
She knew her fate and couldn't accept it calmly, but she would no longer let it deceive her true self. She laughed bitterly, but she didn't know whether she could see that person again in this life.
She couldn't help but secretly glance at the window, but Zhao Hu's sharp eyes flashed by, and he was so sharp that he could catch even the slightest glance clearly. He rushed into the room. Wang Ruyi's heart tightened, but she didn't dare to show any surprise.
Zhao Hu rushed to the room and looked around. The room was clean and tidy, with bedding and beds neatly arranged, showing no signs of anyone having lived there. He opened the window and looked out, just in time to see the stable.
He went downstairs to meet Zhang Long. Wang Ruyi was sandwiched in the middle. They went to check out together and paid the remaining rent.
When the shopkeeper saw the two men, who looked so ferocious and powerful, carrying the emperor's orders, wearing the uniforms of military officers and escorting important officials, how could he dare to accept any money? They just kept fawning on him, so it was a good thing that he didn't have to pay them.
Zhao Hu asked, "Boss, is anyone living in Room 3 on the left side of the second floor these days?"
Wang Ruyi clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with hatred and helplessness. This bastard was determined to completely crush all of his beautiful thoughts and wishes.
"Room No. 3..." The shopkeeper flipped through the book, smiled and shook his head, "Sir, no."
"No?" Zhao Hu was stunned.
Wang Ruyi was also stunned, but then he was relieved. It turned out to be just an illusion, a dream.
That's fine, she thought, but she felt a little disappointed. If... there really is such a person, how great would that be?
After leaving the inn, we had to travel a long way, climb mountains and cross rivers. Although we went to various temples to seek protection from the gods of mountains and rivers, protection is protection and it cannot always cover everything.
So the food, water, clothes and shoes for the journey had to be prepared in advance. When they arrived at the main street, which was bustling with people, the three of them walked together to buy what they needed.
It took Zhang Long half an incense stick of time to buy more than ten pancakes that could be preserved for a long time, and three or two pieces of ready-made clothes, shoes and socks.
Thinking that the cloth boots of both of them were damaged, he bought some more boots. Maybe he was lucky enough to find a merchant who was offering a buy one get two free deal.
Buy one pair of boots and get two pairs for free. This way, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu both have new boots to wear, and there is still one pair left. The two looked at Wang Ruyi.
Wang Ruyi's cloth boots had long been torn to the bottom. The friction on the soles of her feet caused blisters and bloody scabs to form. She felt anxious with every step. Naturally, she wanted to wear those cloth boots, but she knew that her words would not count.
But I'm looking forward to it.
"Forget it, just let her wear it. Let's walk faster so we can finish the job earlier." Zhang Long thought.
Wang Ruyi was slightly pleased, but Zhao Hu stopped and said, "Wait."
He rolled his eyes slightly, picked up a few small stones from the ground, and put them into his cloth boots, "That's it."
Zhang Long put on boots for Wang Ruyi. He first opened the shackles, put on the boots, and then handcuffed the shackles. In this way, the prisoner, who was wrapped in a body-covering robe, had an extra pair of new boots.
The three of them continued on their journey. Wang Ruyi tried to walk, and his feet were sore, but it was better than before. Then he sighed in his heart, wondering if his wish now had become so humble.
After leaving the city, a breeze blew across her cheeks, bringing a moment of coolness. She recalled yesterday's wine and yesterday's dreams, and was escorted to continue to the southernmost land.
After leaving the city gate, the road became much more difficult to walk on. After walking for two hours, Zhang Long climbed up a high cliff and looked into the distance. He took in the scenery, then looked down at the map, comparing it over and over again.
"This is Luojiu Mountain. If you continue to go south, you will see rivers, beautiful forests, and Longbai Mountain."
Zhang Long jumped beside the two of them.
Zhao Hu complained, "Then we two brothers won't be able to see anyone for several days. It's too difficult to travel through the mountains and rivers."
"Brother, be careful with your words, be careful with your words." Zhang Long quickly covered his mouth and knelt down to worship the surrounding mountains and rivers.
Zhang Long added: "It took more than a few days. We crossed Longbai Mountain and finally entered the territory of Elong Mountain."
"There are many wild beasts and bandits near Elong Mountain, but we have the master's protection, so we are not afraid of these."
"If it goes wrong, it will take ten days or half a month."
Zhang Long looked at Wang Ruyi.
If the prisoner was not being escorted, the two brothers would have only needed three or four days to get there. But the prisoner was weak and was wearing a mysterious ball, so even if she walked to death, she couldn't walk fast.
What else can we do? Just complain a little and continue on our way.
There were three people in the group, Zhang Long in front, Wang Ruyi in the middle, and Zhao Hu in the back. In this formation, they walked step by step on the road of mountains and rivers.
The scenery of heaven and earth is beautiful, but no one is interested in appreciating it.
After walking for another half an hour, Wang Ruyi rolled his eyes and fainted. Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were not surprised, because in his line of work, he never had the word "rest".
You can only stop when you walk until you faint.
Zhao Hu took a black pill from his waist bag, pinched open Wang Ruyi's mouth, stuffed it in, and then forced a few gulps of water into her mouth. Wang Ruyi woke up from choking on the water, her eyes were hazy and her mind was blurred.
Knowing this person Zhao Hu, he fed himself and took the pills to prolong his life and wake up his mind. With her outfit and this kind of torture, even if she had a hundred lives, it would not be enough to torment her.
I woke up along the way mostly because of the life-extending pills, otherwise... I would have died in the wilderness long ago.
The irony of the world is that these two evil officials, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, were specially selected by her to escort several corrupt officials whom she once hated so much.
She never thought...karma, the cycle of life, although she had no guilt in her heart, it still happened to her.
(I want to say that because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, I have a lot of things to do and lack of energy, so I may slow down the pace a bit. Strictly speaking, the pace has not changed much, after all, it is a slow-paced article. If I were to speed up the pace, I would be afraid that I would not be able to control it. So I chose to go slow.)
(I hope the officials will not blame me (???3???)???? ??)
