C4 Loyal guard

As the night deepened, Xiaoqing started a bonfire under a big tree. The bonfire burned brightly, Shao Ming and the rest surrounded the bonfire while several guards stood by the side to guard. At night, there were all kinds of strange birds' cries that sent chills down one's spine.

Shaoming asked Xiaoqing, "What kind of birds are these, it sounds so strange and terrifying."

Xiao Qing replied, "There are many fierce beasts and poisonous snakes in this area, of course there are many kinds of strange birds. Please forgive Xiao Qing for being ignorant and ignorant, but I really can't tell what kind of bird's cry it is, but don't worry Young Lord, even if it's just wolves and tigers and leopards, Xiao Qing will not let them get close to Young Master by even a little!"

Shao Ming looked at Xiaoqing. This girl was so delicate and pretty under the illumination of the flames. She was only 17 or 18 years old, yet she was so loyal to the Lord. Shao Ming looked at her and asked, "Xiaoqing, when did you enter the palace to serve the Young Master?"

Xiaoqing said: "Xiaoqing entered the palace at the age of thirteen. Before this, she was always serving as the queen's servant, but Young Master treated this servant kindly, bringing this servant to dress up the Young Master. This is Xiaoqing's fortune!"

After thinking for a moment, Shaoming said, "So that's how it is. How long have you been following me, the Young Lord?"

Xiaoqing said, "This slave has followed the Young Lord for three years!"

So this young master was really fortunate to have such a delicate and pretty girl like her. Although living in the imperial family was a struggle for power, many ordinary people could not obtain such a thing. Any one of these things was something that ordinary people had dreamed of for their entire lives.

Just as they were thinking, a terrifying howl sounded out, startling them.

Xiaoqing's reaction was fast as she hurriedly shouted, "Something's wrong! Protect the Young Lord!"

Several guards quickly drew their swords and surrounded Shao Ming. Little Qing also raised her sword and looked around.

Shao Ming had never heard such a terrifying howl. He couldn't help but feel nervous. At this time, a few more howls sounded out, causing goosebumps to appear on his skin. When Shao Ming heard this voice, it didn't sound like the cries of a tiger, nor did it sound like the cries of a lion.

Everyone looked around warily before suddenly falling silent. Only the sound of the wind could be heard.

Suddenly, with a crash, a figure dashed out from behind a nearby bush, holding a broken sword in his hand.

"It's the captain of the guards!" Little Qing exclaimed.

The captain's body was covered in blood. He rushed in front of Shao Ming and the others, and a guard hastily rushed forward to support him.

"What happened to you? What happened?!" Little Qing hastily asked.

The head guard was out of breath, and his entire body was bleeding. There were several wounds on his body, and it seemed that he had been badly injured.

The captain said, "We … we went hunting and encountered a Dragon Beast! The others were all killed by the long dragon, this ferocious beast is now charging towards us, quickly bring the young master away! "Faster!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

At this time, a loud whistling sound could be heard. A meter tall, two-meter-long giant beast rushed out from the bushes. It howled furiously as it glared at everyone.

"Hurry up!" The guard shouted loudly, and with the broken sword in his hand, he pounced towards the beast.

Xiaoqing hurriedly said to the guards, "Let's hurry up and bring the Young Master away!"

The bodyguards did not dare to delay, seeing that the situation was dangerous, they quickly carried Shaoming and ran. As for the head bodyguard, he fought alone against the ferocious beasts, and the roars of the beasts and the head bodyguards could be heard throughout the night.

He lay on the back of the guard and looked back at the captain from time to time, and couldn't help but to worry for him. He didn't expect that a few of the guards would be killed by a ferocious beast, and even such a loyal guard would be severely injured.

He really didn't want to see the Guard Captain buried under the jaws of a ferocious beast, so he turned his head in pain and stopped looking. He could only hear the roars of beasts and the sounds of the Guard Captain fighting.

Xiaoqing and the others brought Shao Ming and sprinted through the forest. They didn't care what happened in front of them, as they alerted many birds and beasts along the way.

Right now, they only wanted to escape. It would be best if they didn't encounter any ferocious beasts.

Everyone ran for who knows how long with Shao Ming in tow. Finally, they arrived at a cliff. They couldn't run anymore, so they stopped to rest and panted heavily.

Shao Ming was also exhausted. Although he was lying on the back of the guard, his body was still weak. He could not bear the pain from running for his life.

After everyone gasped for breath for a while, they finally felt better. The guard released Shao Ming. Shaoming his breath, Shao Ming asked Xiaoqing: "Are you alright?"

Little Qing replied, "Young Master, I'm fine! Young Master, how are you? "

Shaoming said, "I'm fine. How about you brothers?"

The guards said, "Young Master Meng, we're all very well!"

Shaoming said, "It's all thanks to the few of you. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to survive. However, the Guard Captain and the others died just like that. Sigh, it really makes one's heart hurt!"

Xiao Qing said, "Young master, don't be too sad. The Guard Captain and the rest died protecting the young master, died for the Great Kui Nation. They died in the right place! It is because of our country's loyalty, and we will protect the young master like the Guard Captain and the others! "

The guards hastily answered, "Yes, we vow to protect the Young Chieftain!"

As Shao Ming looked at the crowd, his heart was inexplicably touched. Although he wasn't the real Young Lord, these people were so loyal and protective that it was admirable and touching.

Therefore, Shaoming said, "Thank you! If I can return to the Great Kui Nation in the future, I will definitely talk to the Imperial Advisor and reward you! " Although Shao Ming only wished to return to his own world, at this moment, he had no choice but to make such a promise with the Young Lord's status, out of gratitude towards Xiaoqing and the guards. He thought that even the Young Lord would treat these people who risked their lives to protect him in such a way!

Xiaoqing and the guards hurriedly said, "The Young Chieftain is too serious. Protecting the Young Chieftain is our responsibility, we don't dare to ask for a bounty!"

Shaoming said, "This is what you deserve! No need to be polite, everyone! "Right, where are we going now?"

Xiaoqing looked around and said, "We are still quite a few days away from Fengyin Country. Let's find a safer place to spend the night first!"

"Sure!"

They found a small cave on a nearby cliff, built some branches on the side, and built a bonfire. This time, they were more cautious, and the guards who went out to hunt were more vigilant.

Shaoming was extremely hungry, so he ate in big bites. After eating, he felt tired, so he fell back asleep.

As for the guards, they stood guard around them.

After an unknown period of time, the sky lit up brightly. Shaoming opened his eyes in a daze, he saw that Xiaoqing and the guard had already roasted food, waiting for him.

Xiaoqing saw that Shao Ming had awoken and said, "Young Lord, you've woken up. We've just grilled the rabbit meat, why don't you have a bite?" As she spoke, she handed over a piece of rabbit meat.

At this time, a guard passed a bowl of water made of tree leaves to him. "Young Master, please wash this with water!"

"Many thanks!" He took the water and washed his face.

After washing up, he felt hungry, so he took the rabbit meat from Xiaoqing and said, "Let's eat together!"

After everyone ate, they continued to head down the mountain.

Just like that, the group walked forward step by step. Soon, they arrived at a small market place. This market place was not big; it was a small village. People were coming and going on the streets. There were restaurants, teahouses, and even small stalls selling snacks.

Shao Ming and the others didn't avoid attracting any ideas. They had already changed into coarse clothes and dressed like passing customers.

He didn't really arouse the interest of others.

Although this area was still within the borders of the Great Kui Nation, they couldn't see any soldiers due to its remoteness, not to mention the fact that it was being pursued by the Dragon King.

Xiaoqing took some of the hairpins she had on her to a small pawnshop to make some silver taels and also bought some food. Afterwards, she and her guards brought Shaoming along to continue their journey.

As everyone was walking, a few people suddenly appeared in front of them. They were swaggering over, and the smell of alcohol was in the air.

Shao Ming and the others didn't dare to cause trouble and hastily moved to the side. Who would have thought that these people would actually walk directly towards them?

The leader, a man with a big beard and a face full of alcohol, looked at Shao Ming and the others and shouted, "Stop!"

When Shao Ming and the others heard this, they remained silent and continued to walk forward.

That person seemed to feel that he was being looked down upon. He hastily rushed forward and stretched out his hand to stop them. His companions also rushed over to surround Shaoming's group.

The bearded man waited for Shaoming and the others: "Did you not hear when this grandpa told you to stop?"

Xiaoqing quickly smiled and said, "Brothers, we are just passing by. We are going home to conduct a funeral, we can't be slow. I hope you can help us!"

When Big Beard heard Xiaoqing's voice, he actually laughed, "Oh wow, so it's a girl! I thought it was a little handsome guy! "Interesting!"

As the bearded man spoke, he reached out his hand to stroke Xiaoqing, who hurriedly blocked his hand, saying, "Don't be so unreasonable!"

The bearded man was rather excited and said, "Oh, this is my territory. I'll do whatever you want!"

After saying that, he pinched Xiaoqing's cheek. Xiaoqing hurriedly moved her hand away, and the two guards hurriedly stepped forward to protect her.

A guard said, "Brothers, give us a path!"

The guard said as he handed the silver taels over.

The bearded man waited for the guard, took the silver and weighed it before smiling: "You are sensible, but I am happy today, not only for money, but also for people!" "Everyone, charge! Take this woman down!" I want her to be my wife! "

Little Qing and the others were shocked.

The man fell to the side. When the others saw this, they quickly pulled out their swords and rushed forward with a woosh, causing Xiaoqing and the guards to pull out their swords to follow suit.

Everyone was engaged in a chaotic battle.

Shao Ming stood to the side, not daring to move. Blades flashed, swords danced, and the sounds of battle could be heard everywhere.

Big Beard and the others didn't seem to be ordinary people. They seemed to have learned a bit of martial arts, and even though they were drunk, they were still able to draw with their sabers. Xiaoqing and the others could only fight to a draw and did not gain the upper hand.

The number of spectators gradually increased.

All of a sudden, a group of men appeared from the crowd, all of them holding blades in their hands. One of them shouted, "Whoever dares to hit my big brother, I'll chop you all into pieces!"

This group of people rushed forward with knives in their hands. They pounced at Shaoming and his men, shocking Xiaoqing and the others.

Xiaoqing shouted, "The enemy has so many people, I'll escort the Young Lord first!"

After Xiaoqing said this, she pulled Shao Ming and ran. The three guards continued their slaughter, blocking the huge men and preventing them from catching up.

The two of them ran for a while before they arrived in front of an inn. There, they saw a black horse being tied up right in front of them. Xiaoqing rushed up, cut off the reins with a knife, and pulled the black horse in front of Shao Ming. She hurriedly helped Shaoming onto the horse, then sat on the horse herself and started running.

Shao Ming sat on the horse and could only hear the howling wind in his surroundings. He didn't have time to turn around and see what had happened to the guards behind him. He could only pray that they were alright.

However, all of this was so realistic, and it was not a dream. Although it was more than a movie, it was enough for him to instantly experience the truth and cruelty of life from a sophomore, especially the first time he saw the death of a guard captain, which forced him to instantly grow up.

The two of them rode their black horses and galloped quickly forward. They ran out of the town and across the fields until they reached the sun. In front of them, there was a vast expanse of mountains. It was unknown what other stories and dangers awaited them.
