Guests Coming Again - C21

Cardinal and the others tidied up their belongings. After resting for a moment, they prepared to leave. After a great battle, the area was littered with the corpses of wolves, and the ground was dyed red with their blood.

They could not stay here for long. This was the common voice in their hearts.

Nie Laihong was just about to tell everyone to enter the village to rest, but he felt that it wasn’t right. He believed that only after reaching the big city would they be able to rest and rest, because he didn’t know if there were still another group of bandits nearby, or if those people had just returned.

Thus, Cardinal and the others only bought dry food and water before leaving the small village.

There was no rest along the way, but because everyone was injured, their walking speed had decreased a lot. There were also fewer people, but the number of escort remained unchanged. Compared to that, the team was not strong and their morale was low.

Nie Laihong had a worried expression on his face. Right now, the escort team was exhausted. Other than Cardinal, himself, and the female escort team, the rest were all more or less injured.

Now he really needed to think about it carefully. It would be better if he entered a big city, but what if he was robbed in a small village or on the road? What would he do then?

Nie Laihong couldn’t help laughing bitterly. It seemed that he was not very lucky to have met with such an accident after taking his first dart step. He recalled what Bao Qi had said before, each word deeply stabbing into his heart.

“The old sect leader is old. Do you know why even that hasty young sect master has to go out and take darts this time?” “The old head has already made his preparations. The escort company will pass it to the young head, who is a foppish young lord. Is he worth it for me to swear loyalty to him?” These words were said by Bao Qi to Lin Zhiren, but were spoken into Nie Laihong’s heart.

Nie Laihong clenched his fists so tightly that even his knuckles had turned blue. He then loosened his fist and let out a sigh.

Since my previous self was trash, I would truly be able to accomplish it in the future. I won’t let that happen again.

Dragon Gate Escort Office, I must be responsible.

Cardinal rode along the perimeter of the escort, watching for movement. As long as there was movement, he would be able to react quickly.

Everyone was wounded. If he did not take precautions and the Dragon Gate Escort Office was taken away by someone, then he would be disloyal, Cardinal Cheng thought to himself.

Just as he was thinking, the escort arrived at his side and said, “Young Hero’s kung fu is good. You didn’t even have time to thank me for saving my life last time. Young Hero, accept my respect. ” As he said this, he cupped his hands together. “Thank you.”

“Right, my name is Jian Ruan.” Before turning to leave, he added.

“I remember your name. After all, you are one of the few female bodyguards in the escort company.”

The woman laughed. “You remember my name, but I don’t remember yours.”

Huanzhi honestly recited the name.

“Young Hero, you really don’t know how to get along.” He turned around and rode to the other side of the escort team.

The four of them formed a horned formation to protect the escort team.

He had been very careful along the way. Now, not only was he afraid of the tiger, but he also had to be careful of the jackal that smelled blood.

The tigers were naturally the ones who wanted to snatch the darts, or the large and powerful bandits.

The jackals were the small hills or groups of small bandits who had been inspired by wealth.

Cardinal Cheng guarded the escort team and did not sleep even at night. He didn’t even bother to close his eyes.

In reality, he had only agreed to go with the dart, so why did he have to do this? Even if it was all destroyed, as long as the dart was taken, the agreement should have been fulfilled.

But Cardinal doesn’t think so. His darts are darts that send you where you want to go, so that people and goods will be as safe as possible.

Cardinal stayed up late into the night, and in order to not attract attention, there were even fewer bonfires. The remaining twenty-one people crowded around the bonfires, carefully protecting the goods.

Originally, Cardinal wanted them to rest, but Nie Laihong felt that something wasn’t right. He insisted that the several lightly injured members of the Dragon Gate escort company should also be on duty.

The night wind blew past, bringing a refreshing feeling. The stars in the sky were densely packed, as if they had scattered specks of light on a black curtain.

Cardinal saw the brightest star in the sky. “Master, are you looking at me?”

The night was tranquil, and after tonight, he would be able to enter the city.

It was a big city, Yan City.

Cardinal wrapped his arms around his longsword as he surveyed his surroundings. He didn’t relax for even a moment. “Today, I am the gatekeeper of your Dragon Gate Escort Office.”

Whether it was the evil spirits or evil spirits, the jackals, wolves, tigers, leopards, or fierce tigers coming down the mountain.

As long as you come, I will make sure that none of you will be able to return.

Cardinal Cheng looked around cautiously.

However, Jian Ran suddenly walked over. Looking at him, the expression in his eyes was frightening.

“What? What?” Jane was shocked.

Cardinal immediately said, “I’m fine. Why did you suddenly walk over? You’re really scary, you scared me.”

“Haha, could it be that you’re afraid of ghosts, Young Hero?”

“What’s there to be afraid of? Come and kill one!”

Jane as Infinite playfully said, “Is that so? Young Hero sure is impressive.” “However, isn’t your killing intent a bit too strong? Killing people everyday would really be a waste of your handsome face.”

Cardinal frowned. “Sis Jane, if there’s nothing else, please don’t disturb me. I want to rest.”

Jane didn’t seem to think he would say that.

“How can you be like this? It’s boring on night duty, so I came to talk to you, but you treat me like this.” Jane was also a bit angry, but at the same time, she was also a bit sad.

I’ve been around for so many years, but I’ve never been with anyone. This time, this person saved my life, and I originally had some good feelings towards him. However, looking at his attitude, it seems that he really despised me.

It wasn’t that Cardinal disliked her. But right now, he really didn’t want to chat with anyone else.

Cardinal Cheng said helplessly, “It’s not that I don’t want to chat with Sister Jane, it’s just that I’m anxious …”

He hurried in the direction Jane had come from.

“I’ll go and relieve myself. I’ll be back in a bit!”

Jane could see that he was acting this way, as if it were true. He couldn’t help but find it funny. So it was because of some internal conflict.

So it wasn’t because he hated her.

Jane thought so.

Although Jane Rumian was a escort, she was indeed a escort with a sword. She wasn’t someone who held a sledgehammer, nor someone who held a axe.

Even when facing an enemy, he had to rely on his lightness skills and gently danced like a butterfly. Even when he used his sword to kill, it was still elegant and precise.

There was not the slightest bit of ruthlessness or viciousness in his moves. There were rules to follow, and it was like a dance of swords, where one held a treasured sword and danced about, looking extremely beautiful. Moreover, it was as simple as twenty to ninety years old, some of them still had the charm of a mature woman.

Seeing that the Cardinal had hurriedly rushed out, he laughed in his heart, “Looks like he really is in a hurry. No wonder he doesn’t want to talk much with others.”

Imagine if you were holding back a piss, or trying to solve a big number, and someone came to pester you and say they wanted to chat. What would you think?
