mortal clerk

Chapter 17
The convoy camped on the half-mountain road has twelve carriages. The so-called camp is nothing more than setting up a circle of wooden stakes in a slightly spacious place to stop the horses, and then set up several tents for the handlebars and some guards to rest.

Deacon Mu and the master Pu Shan each rode in a carriage. Deacon Mu's carriage was the largest and most comfortable. Not only could he write and eat, but he also had a maid to accompany him.Although the master's carriage is also big, there are many ledgers.

Among the remaining carriages, one was used by the guards, two were used for various travel items, and the smallest one was used by Li Qingniu and Li Laoer, which was both a carriage and a bed.The handlebars are not only responsible for driving and feeding the horses, but also responsible for lighting the fire and cooking.Of course, the maid is responsible for Deacon Mu's meals.

Perhaps it was because of the sudden fog, or because Li Qingniu hadn't got out of the carriage today, and the more lively scenes on weekdays were much quieter.In addition to the two second-rank guards, Lao Shen and the other three guards were also patrolling the camp.

When Old Shen walked to the last carriage, he took another look.I thought to myself, this kid is the same as I was back then, obviously from a humble background, but he is unwilling to be mediocre, what a pity...

At this time, the fog on the mountain became thicker and gradually spread from the top of the mountain to the camp, and soon engulfed the entire camp, and the sky gradually darkened.

Several handlebars around the fire were talking in low voices about what they had seen along the way.One of them, Xiao Anzi, a young man in his 20s, called out to the tent.

"Master Chen, the wine is already warmed up, let's have a drink together!"

"Old Chen, come quickly, if you are late, you will lose your share."

After saying that, he poured himself a full glass of wine and couldn't help taking a sip.After a while, a few people saw that Lao Chen hadn't come out yet, so they shouted loudly to remind him impatiently through the tent.

"Hurry up, if you don't come again, we won't wait for you!"

"This old Chen loves wine like his life on weekdays, why is he dawdling today. Xiao Anzi, go and have a look."

Xiao Anzi had no choice but to go into the tent to check, because it was night and there was a thick fog, so Xiao Anzi went in and yelled twice, but there was still no response. He found the wrong way and groped in the fog for a long time before he could vaguely see the fire.

Xiao Anzi followed the light of the fire and finally walked to the side of the fire, but saw that everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, while the firewood in the fire was crackling.When they approached and pushed with their hands, the crowd scattered on the ground with a crash. When they looked closely, all their flesh and blood were exhausted, leaving only skin and bones.Xiao Anzi was so frightened that his legs fell like a thousand catties, he couldn't make a sound, and froze on the spot.

It was Xiao Anzi's push that made the only three masters in the guards notice something strange.Captain Luo Wushuang immediately ran to Deacon Mu's carriage and opened the curtain, only to see Deacon Mu being tender with his maid.

"What are you doing! Bothering me!"

"An accident happened, the dead!"

Hearing of the dead man, Deacon Mu didn't care about the maid under him, raised his sword and said nervously: "Don't go, stay with me!"

"I don't know what's going on with the enemy at the moment, I'm going to investigate!" Luo Wushuang was about to leave after speaking.

"Come back, can't you perceive ten miles?"

"The enemy this time is unusual, I can't detect it at all!"

"Then you can't leave, you have to guard me, don't forget your mission!"

"Don't worry, the guard array has been activated, but it can only protect the range of this carriage! My brothers may not be able to handle it."

After saying that, Luo Wushuang rode away and disappeared into the thick fog.

The maid stood up coquettishly: "Master, why are you so nervous, my servant is still waiting for you!"

Deacon Mu's face was ugly and he scolded angrily: "If you don't want to die, don't talk, just stay well!" The sword in his hand also trembled.

Old Shen also heard the noise by the fire, and quickly approached to check, only to see Xiao Anzi standing still, his legs trembling, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"What's wrong?"

But when he saw the bones on the ground, he was shocked, picked up Xiao Anzi and jumped up instinctively, and arrived at Li Qingniu's carriage.

Li Laoer heard the noise outside the car, and asked vigilantly, "Who?"

Immediately afterwards, he saw Old Shen carrying Xiao Anzi into the carriage and making a sound silence.Xiao Anzi, who had regained his composure at this moment, shouted in fear.

"Dead, bones..."

Seeing this, Old Shen slashed Xiao Anzi's neck with his sword, and Xiao Anzi passed out.Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Li Laoer looked at Li Qingniu who was sleeping soundly holding the iron sword in his arms, and slowly pulled out the rusty iron sword from Li Qingniu's arms.He clenched his hands tightly, thinking that if an enemy broke in, he would have no choice but to fight to the death.

Old Shen glanced at the rusty iron sword, and extinguished the oil lamp on the car with a wave of his right hand.

"The situation is unknown now, so don't make a sound."

Li Lao Er nodded and became more and more nervous.

.........

After a long silence, there was a sound of horseshoes galloping past. Old Shen knew that the captain was chasing the enemy, so he wanted to get out of the carriage to follow, but after thinking about it for a while, the three people in the carriage were ordinary people. If they left by themselves, these people would die. So he pressed the sword and did not move.

After a few breaths, only a few metal and iron collisions were heard, and then there were two screams. Lao Shen was shocked, it seemed that someone was caught!I thought that I would die if I went out, so I might as well hide in the carriage. Although the environment is small, it is easier to defend.

At this moment, captain Luo Wushuang yelled in pain.

"Second and third! Ah! Where is the monster, how dare you show up for a fight!"

But there was a ghostly voice in the clouds.

"Hehehe, what kind of sixth-grade master, I only discovered it now!"

With a sound of "swish", a stone flew into the cloud, and immediately there was a sound of "ding", and the people in the cloud were greatly surprised.

"Not bad, you have such power! You are considered a master among mortal warriors!"

When Luo Wushuang saw that the blow was missed, he knew that he had encountered a master, so he didn't talk to him, and shot a few more stones, and there were still several "ding ding ding".

The man said angrily, "It's too much to bully others, I'm really afraid that you won't succeed!"

Immediately, a cold light pierced through the clouds and mist, Luo Wushuang hurriedly raised his gun to block, stepped back, and stood on the roof of the nearby carriage.After seeing the cold light, a woman in red robe retracted her sword and turned around, lightly tapped her toes on the saddle, and looked at Luo Wushuang with a charming smile.

"You mortal, you still have some skills!"

The captain saw that the woman in the red robe was alluring, her moves were extremely fast, and her figure was erratic, so she was on guard.

"Where are you evildoer, were my second and third brothers killed by you?"

The woman raised her orchid finger and asked, "So what?"

"Then go to hell!"

Before the words were finished, the spear stabbed at the horse, and the woman flipped in the air with a light tap of her toes, barely avoiding it.And Luo Wushuang's spear pointed upwards to catch up with Hong Ying.The woman had no choice but to use her sword to fight it, and borrowed her strength to fall onto the carriage, and Luo Wushuang also landed on the horse's back smoothly.In just a split second, the positions of the two were reversed, one with cunning movements, and the other with unparalleled marksmanship.

"Hehehe, you really don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade! Just stab it when you come up!" the woman in red panted coquettishly.

"Shameless evildoer, take your life!" Luo Wushuang roared loudly, raised his gun and stabbed again.

The woman's face turned sinister and said: "Since you can't enjoy it, then be the ghost of my sword!"

Immediately, the sword stabbed like a flying flower.The two fought more than ten strokes and it was hard to tell the winner, one missed the hit repeatedly, and the other couldn't get into the point of the spear.At this time, a voice came from Deacon Mu's carriage.

"Baby maid, still flirting, come and help me break through this formation!"

The red-robed woman had no choice but to use her sword strength to shake off the tip of the spear, and rushed towards Deacon Mu's office.Luo Wushuang didn't have time to wonder why the power of the sword increased so much, he knew it was a trick, and he chased after him.

After a few breaths, the two arrived in front of the car.In a cloud of black mist, a huge hammer slammed on the carriage, and the carriage had a shield, and every time it was struck, it shimmered like water waves.Deacon Shen inside shouted for help.

In a hurry, Luo Wushuang straightened his horse and charged towards the black mist with a gun, and there was a clap of thunder in the black mist.

"Bold!"

Immediately with a palm push, Luo Wushuang was knocked off the horse, retreated more than ten steps before using the spear to stabilize his figure.

Seeing that Luo Wushuang was no more than a single enemy, Deacon Mu begged for his life in a hurry.

"I'll give you whatever you want, just spare my life!"

The figure in the black mist paused and said: "Hand over the Qinggang Shenmu, and I will not die!"

When Deacon Mu heard it, it turned out that it was for this. Although the item is expensive, life is the most important thing, so he quickly agreed.

"Give it! Give it whatever you want! Just spare my life!"

The black figure and the red-robed woman were slightly surprised that it was so easy, so they also stopped and said: "Bring it quickly!"

Deacon Mu hurriedly threw out what he exchanged with Li Laosan, and the black shadow took it and opened it to see that it was indeed the missing piece of Qinggang Shenmu.He asked again, "Where did you get it?"

Deacon Mu hurriedly pointed back, with a flattering smile on his face.

"The man in the last carriage exchanged with the villain".

The black figure looked at Li Qingniu and the others' carriage, and immediately disappeared into the thick fog.

　Mo Xiao is young and full of ambition, and the basket will turn over!
