The villain is ill

The burly man looked down carefully, and saw a person lying at the bottom of the slope more than ten meters away. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead. He waved his hand, and the others got off their horses one after another, trotted down the slope, and helped the unconscious man up. .

The man stepped forward to touch the man's breath, snatched the baggage he was carrying, and sneered, "He's still alive, he's still alive." He waved his hand again, "Take him back, and I'll deal with him later. You all Come back first."

"Yes!" Hearing this, several people got on their horses, and one of them picked up the man and threw him on the horse's back. His movements were extremely rough, and he whipped his whip, and then left in the direction he had come.

The burly man smiled at Chu Mo and the two of them again: "Thank you both, I am Chen Lingyuan, the head of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, you can call me Chen San."

"You're welcome." Chu Mo also smiled, "What kind of grievance does this person have with you?"

"Oh." Chen San sighed, "I'm ashamed to say that this person is my apprentice named Lai Wu, who is addicted to gambling by nature and lost a lot of money a few months ago. I didn't want to take him with me this time. Knowing his pleading, I took him on the road with a soft heart, but I didn’t know that he lured wolves into the house, and the thieves wanted to catch us here and monopolize the caravan’s property.”

Chu Mo comforted: "People's hearts are not ancient, there are always in the world, uncle don't need to be too sad, is there something wrong with the bodyguard team?"

"Thank you for your care, little brother. This beast actually put medicine in the food. Fortunately, I was on guard and told my brothers to be alert in advance. There is nothing wrong with people." Chen San smiled heartily: "Thanks to the help of two people this time, the goods and money are not in danger." They were all chased back, and the traitor was also caught, which is really lucky."

Chu Mo quickly waved his hands, "This has nothing to do with me, he fell down by himself, please don't be too polite, Chief Chen."

Chen San laughed, "I think the little brother is also a cheerful person, don't you know the two names?"

"My name is Shu Sui, and this is..." At this point, Chu Mo suddenly paused, glanced at Chi Wushang before saying, "This is my guard, surnamed Chi."

"So it's Brother Shu and Hero Chi. It's a pleasure to meet you." Chen San said enthusiastically, "Brother Shu is here to travel, right? Then you came in the wrong season."

Chu Mo asked: "How do you say?"

Chen San introduced: "Don't you know? In the past few years, every March in this place, looking down from the front mountain, you can see a large peach blossom forest and pink clouds all over the mountain. Every spring, countless literati and poets flock here. But the strange thing is that there are so many peach blossoms from a distance, but when people go down to look for them, they are always gone, and it seems that the peach blossoms have not bloomed in the past two years."

Chu Mo knew that seeing the peach blossoms was due to the failure of the Chu family's lost trace array, and that the peach blossoms did not bloom because the peach trees withered, so he didn't explain, but asked, "Have you seen it?"

"No, most of the time I pass by here every year is now, and there are no peach blossoms in bloom. Besides, the peach blossoms are too evil, so it's better not to see them." Chen San said, "Since the two of you didn't come to see For Peach Blossom, we are sending darts to Xujing City, could you tell us the destination? If we go the same way, maybe we can go together for a while."

Chu Mo smiled, "I..."

He was about to refuse to go with him, but was interrupted by Chi Wushang, "Let's go to Jiehai City."

Hearing what Chi Wushang said, Chu Mo smiled and nodded to Chen San.Although Chen San was a little surprised by the way the master and servant got along with each other, he didn't think about it, and warmly invited: "That's just on the way. I don't think you two have any carriages and horses by your side. If you want to go to Jiehai City on foot, you can get some help. It took a lot of effort, if the two of you don't dislike it, just go with us, it happens that there are many people and there is someone to take care of you."

"Then I'll trouble Chief Chen." Chu Mo responded.

Under Chen San's warm invitation, the two followed to the escort team's stay.

There are about thirty people in this bodyguard team, surrounded by four carriages and two ox carts, the air still exudes a bloody smell after the battle, the corpses of the thieves have been cleaned up, and several bodyguards kicked around The sand covered up the bloodstains, and everyone else stood guard around the car, while Lai Wu tilted his head and was firmly tied to a crooked-necked tree by the roadside.

Seeing that Chen San came back with two people, although the bodyguards were curious, they just took a look and didn't rush to ask questions.

"Father, you're finally back!" At this moment, a female voice came from the carriage, and at the same time, a green-clothed girl about thirteen or fourteen years old opened the curtain and jumped down, ran to Chen San, and held his arm. Looking at Chu and Mo, "Who are these two?"

"Didn't I tell you to be obedient? Stay well in the carriage, what are you going to do?" Chen San asked seriously.

The girl puffed her face, hugged his arm and said coquettishly: "Oh, didn't you beat this thief away? There is no danger now, not to mention you are still here?"

Although Chen San still had a straight face, the love in his eyes couldn't be restrained, "I really can't do anything about you." After speaking, he introduced to Chu and Mo, "This is the little girl Chen Wanrong, and her temper is caught by her. Mother has been spoiled since she was a child, and if she offends, I ask you two to take care of her."

"Father, what are you talking about?" Chen Wanrong refused, pinched Chen San's arm, and explained to Chu Mo: "That's not what my father said."

Chu Mo smiled, and said to Chen San: "Ling Qianjin is so straightforward and cute."

"Haha, brother Mengshu praised, if it wasn't for this girl who insisted on going this way, we wouldn't have met today." Chen San said with a smile: "Speaking of which, our bodyguard team is still intact today, thanks to this girl's reminder. " As he spoke, he turned to Chen Wanrong who was looking at Chu and Mo curiously, and introduced: "This is brother Shu Sui, and this is Uncle Chi, they are the ones who helped me catch Lai Wu just now."

In the last sentence, Chen San's voice raised slightly, and everyone who had been eavesdropping with their ears suddenly realized.

Previously, what Lai Wu took the opportunity to steal was nothing but the most important object of this dart trip. If they lost it, their entire escort agency would be over.

No wonder Chen San treated the two of them so courteously.

Hearing what Chen San called Chi Wushang during the introduction, Chu Mo turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Chi Wushang and smiled, but saw that Chi Wushang was also looking at him, and was about to ask a question, but was dragged by Chen San to speak.

After exchanging pleasantries, Chen San ordered the bodyguards to go another five miles towards Fengcheng, and stopped to set up camp when they reached the flat ground at the bottom of the mountain. "Everyone has worked hard today. Let's take a rest overnight and set off early tomorrow morning."

Hearing that all the bodyguards quickly got off their horses to find the right place, some pitched tents, some cooked, and it was quite lively for a while.

Chen San went to interrogate Lai Wu, and Chu Mo and Chi Wushang were guests, so they had a leisurely time, and the two sat together to talk.

Chu Mo asked softly: "Master, why did you prevent me from breaking up with them just now?"

"It happens to be on the same road, and we are not in a hurry to go back to the family. We may gain something from traveling together for a while." Chi Wushang replied.

It's not that the two of them have never walked with others along the way. After Chi Wushang said so, Chu Mo didn't think about it any more, and nodded that the problem was over.

"Where are you going?"

Just as Chu Mo was about to say something, a female voice intervened between the two and interrupted their conversation. It was Chen Wanrong.

The little girl's almond eyes were round and big, and her cheeks still had baby fat. When she smiled, her two pear dimples were very sweet. She held her chin and looked at Chu Mo, her eyes bent.

"Jiehai City." Chu Mo said the destination that Chi Wushang had mentioned earlier.

"I've heard that my father said that there is a big and blue sea outside Jiehai City. He said that the sea is bigger than the sky. Have you ever seen the sea? Is what he said true?"

After asking a series of questions, Chu Mo glanced at Chi Wushang, but saw that he was looking at other places instead of this way, so he replied: "The sea is indeed big, but not as big as the sky."

"why?"

Chu Mo smiled, "You can see the sky everywhere, but you can't see the sea in many places."

"It seems to be like this, Brother Shu, you are really amazing!" Chen Wanrong showed a surprised expression, "I will also come to Jiehai City to see the sea next time, so I will come and play with you when the time comes?"

"Master, I'm going to find some firewood, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Chi Wushang's voice interrupted the conversation between the two. Chu Mo was still a little unresponsive when he heard the title of young master. Then he remembered that Chi Wushang was pretending to be his guard this time. He smiled, "It's all right .”

Chen Wanrong said: "Brother Shu, why don't you eat with us, Master Yang's cooking skills are really good."

"No, rashly joining the borrowed horse is already disturbing, and if you ask for food again, you will not know what is good or bad." Chu Mo smiled and refused, turned his head and said to Chi Wushang: "I will go with you. Miss Chen, borrowed."

Seeing the backs of the two disappear into the forest, Chen Wanrong stomped her feet angrily, "Humph!"

"Who made our eldest lady angry?" A strong young man with dark skin and a bright smile came up and joked.

Chen Wanrong glared at him, "I want you to take care of it!"

Chu Mo followed Chi Wushang, walking in the woods one after the other. After a while, the two of them each held a bundle of firewood. Seeing that Chi Wushang stopped, Chu Mo handed over the firewood in his hand, "These should be Enough, what will Master do tonight?"

Chi Wushang bundled the firewood into a bundle, and replied: "What do you want to eat?"

Because Chu Mo's cultivation base has reached the bigu period in the past two years, he doesn't feel hungry on weekdays, and Chi Wushang seldom cooks. Hearing this question, Chu Mo felt a little greedy. He looked around, I happened to see a big gray rabbit looking timidly in the bushes not far away, and said, "Roast rabbit."

As if sensing Chu Mo's gaze, Gray Rabbit turned around and ran away.

"Okay." Chi Wushang responded, breaking off a small piece of dead branch from the firewood, and throwing it away, only to hear a soft chirp, and the rabbit fell to the ground.

Chu Mo ran over a few steps and picked up the rabbit's ears and shook it twice, "This rabbit is really fat."

Chi Wushang responded, "There is a stream in front, you go and clean it up, I'll pick some mushrooms."

When the two masters and apprentices returned to the camp, the bodyguards in charge of the food were burning firewood and starting a stove, and the smell of food was wafting in the air. Chen San and several bodyguards were sitting together discussing something, but Lai Wu had disappeared.

Finding an open space, Chi Wushang neatly set up a grill. Chen Wanrong was sitting next to Master Yang's fire to help him watch the fire. Seeing this, she got up and walked towards this side. Pulled back by the strong guy from before, "Rong'er, why are you going?"

"I'm going to ask them if they want Huozhangzi." Chen Wanrong said, "Also, Chen Qingpeng, how many times have I told you? Don't call me Rong'er. Get out of the way!"

"Okay, okay, but they shouldn't use Huozhe."

Chen Qingpeng moved away, and Chen Wanrong saw at a glance that the fire over there had already been ignited, she glared at him again, and continued to walk towards Chu Mo.

Seeing Chen Wanrong walk away, Chen Qingpeng turned his head to look at Chu Mo, and there was a bit of hostility in his eyes.

Sensing that someone was looking at him from behind, Chu Mo looked back, but saw a dark young man in his twenties, the hostility in his eyes was clear, but he didn't know where it came from.

Unexpectedly, Chu Mo would look over suddenly, and Chen Qingpeng turned his head hastily.
