An endless plain stretched under the sky. There were no hills or hills, and it was as calm as the sea on a calm day.
This place was far away from the capital of Kairong Nation.
Twenty or so strong horses and three ordinary carriages were galloping across the plains in the northwest.
Although the three carriages looked ordinary, the horses in the front of the carriages were not ordinary at all.
Including the cavalrymen, although the horses they were riding were not good horses, any of them could be regarded as good horses in the army.
Among all the horses, there was only one strong horse that was as red as fire and blood. It did not have a saddle on it, nor was it ridden by anyone. It was not harnessed to a horse to pull the carriage.
It was like a lone ranger, following closely behind one of the carriages and galloping at a moderate speed.
The curtain of the carriage was suddenly lifted, revealing He Yiming's face.
As soon as it saw He Yiming, the red horse immediately neighed. Even the long tail behind the horse's buttocks began to flutter.
He Yiming laughed loudly, then suddenly had an idea. He turned his head and said, "Lixun, it's too tiring to ride a carriage. Why don't we ride a horse?"
In the carriage, Yuan Lixun smiled. Just as she nodded, she felt something tighten around her waist. He Yiming had already carried her in his arms. Then, he flew out of the carriage as if he was riding the clouds and came to the excited Red Silk Horse.
The Red Silk Horse's big eyes shone with excitement. It immediately spread its legs and overtook the leading cavalryman in an instant. Its four hooves flipped, and its long mane fluttered. Its magnificent posture was like a carrier pigeon that had gone through hardships to cross the sea, like a sea swallow flying vigorously in a storm.
Almost in the blink of an eye, it had become a small black dot in everyone's eyes.
The leading cavalryman stretched out his hand and opened his mouth to speak, but when the words were about to come out, he stopped abruptly.
He suddenly thought of the other party's status and his own. Even the Grand Elder and Elder Lu who were sitting in the carriage behind them had turned a blind eye to them. How could he have the qualifications to greet them?
Yu Jinglei and Lu Zhengyi looked at each other and smiled. The curtains of one of the two carriages behind them had been lifted as well. However, their gazes soon landed on the last carriage.
At this moment, there was a trace of fear and bewilderment in their eyes.
Ever since they left the Kai Rong Nation's capital, they rejected Zhan Tianfeng's kind offer of escorting them and only brought a group of Hengshan Mountain disciples towards the Tian Luo Nation.
Along the way, they didn't want to attract attention, so although the car they prepared wasn't small, it wasn't luxurious. However, the horses that pulled the carriages and the mounts that the disciples rode on were all carefully selected. Although it was not as precious as the Red Silk Horse, it was definitely worth it.
Of the three ordinary carriages, He Yiming and Yuan Lixun were naturally in one, Yu Jinglei and Lu Zhengyi were in another, and the last one was taken by the mysterious 108.
However, what surprised Yu Jinglei and Lu Zhengyi was that ever since 108 entered the carriage, they lost all sense of this super expert.
From what they could sense, there seemed to be no one in the last carriage.
Even though they had gathered their Genuine Qi to the highest level, they still couldn't hear or sense any sound coming from behind.
Suddenly, a gust of northern wind whistled past …
Although this wasn't the Northern Border Ice Field, the wind here wasn't weak at all.
After the strong wind blew past, there was a fluttering sound. The curtain of the last carriage suddenly fluttered. Although it only fluttered halfway, Yu Jinglei and Lu Zhengyi saw the situation in the carriage clearly at the same time.
The two of them were startled and turned to look at each other. There was a trace of uncertainty in their eyes.
After a moment, under Lu Zhengyi's questioning gaze, Yu Jinglei nodded slightly.
Lu Zhengyi stepped forward and came to the front of the last carriage. He cupped his fist and said, "Senior Bai, Elder He and Miss Yuan have already ridden their horses to play. Should we wait here or move forward slowly?"
Inside the carriage, there was dead silence. It was as if 108 didn't hear this sentence.
When Lu Zhengyi spoke, all the disciples of Mount Heng held their breaths. In their hearts, how could they come into contact with someone that even the Supreme Elder and the Elders had to call senior?
However, after a while, there was still no sound. There was only the continuous northern wind and a few sporadic horse neighs.
Lu Zhengyi hesitated for a moment and repeated himself. However, this time, his tone was more sincere and his attitude more humble.
It was extremely rare for an Innate Expert to speak in such a low-key tone.
Everyone felt that it was extremely absurd, but no one dared to laugh out loud. They didn't even dare to show a trace of a smile.
It was still quiet. There was no sound at all.
Lu Zhengyi gritted his teeth and stepped forward to gently pinch the corner of the carriage's curtain.
He was already fully alert. As long as there was even the slightest movement, he would immediately let go and retreat. Based on Senior Bai's attitude towards He Yiming, the Supreme Elder, as long as he could leave quickly, he believed that Senior Bai would not be so ruthless.
Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, the carriage's curtain was lifted.
However, everyone was dumbfounded when they saw that the carriage was empty.
Lu Zhengyi lowered the curtain. Although he was mentally prepared, he still had a strange look on his face.
Lu Zhengyi returned to Yu Jinglei's side and asked softly, "Martial Uncle, did you see when he left?"
Yu Jinglei shook his head and replied, "I didn't see." He turned his head and looked in the direction that He Yiming had left in. He slowly said, "Perhaps, Senior Bai went to chase after Elder He."
"But we came out before Elder He left." Lu Zhengyi lowered his voice and asked, "Could it be that Senior Bai had already left before Elder He?"
The corners of Yu Jinglei's mouth twitched, and his face flushed red.
If Hundred and Eight really left before they came out, then it would be fine. However, if this person didn't do so and left after they came out, then it would be too shocking.
After pondering for a moment, Yu Jinglei shook his head and said, "Forget it, let them hurry up and meet up with Elder He as soon as possible. Sigh, he's already a Supreme Elder, why is he still … "
Speaking of this, Yu Jinglei seemed to have thought of something and immediately stopped talking.
Although He Yiming was the Grand Elder of One-Line-Sky, his age was not yet 20 years old. Occasionally, he would do some things that seemed out of place in the eyes of these old and prudent people, but it didn't seem to be a big deal.
No matter how dissatisfied Yu Jinglei was, he could not be too harsh on him because of such a small matter.
After the two elders returned to the carriage, the group of people once again set off towards the direction of the Tian Luo Kingdom. They sped up and headed towards the Tian Luo Kingdom.
Of course, hoping that they would be able to catch up and find Grand Elder He Yiming in a short period of time was also nonsense.
The sound of the carriage gradually faded away, and everything returned to normal.
A part of the ground suddenly protruded upwards, and slowly, 108's figure appeared on the empty ground.
He raised his head and his eyes shone like a small sun again.
Ever since he was hired by He Yiming, he had never done such a thing in front of others. But at this moment, there was no one around, so he naturally did not care.
No one knew that a strange angle was forming in his eyes at this moment.
Like the highest magnification of an astronomical telescope, his eyes could even see things tens of thousands of meters away clearly.
Not only that, his vision also had a strong penetrating ability, in addition to being able to simulate the various functions of many advanced instruments such as thermal imaging. No matter how fast the Red Silk Horse was, it would not be able to escape from his detection range in a short period of time.
With this ability that could be called clairvoyance, even He Yiming's tracking ability was far inferior to his in this open plain.
Soon, he locked on to the position, and his eyes quickly returned to normal. Then his feet crossed, and he rushed forward at an unparalleled speed.
His body seemed to be weightless, almost floating three inches above the ground. With a mere step, he suddenly sprinted ten meters away. His two feet were like a high-powered machine, faster and faster, and in the end, there was almost a round of afterimages.
The route 108 took was not a straight line, but a big circle from afar, bypassing Yu Jinglei and the others.
However, even so, when he caught up to the Red Silk Horse and followed it closely from afar like a ghost, it only took him less than two hours.
※ ※ ※ ※
He Yiming held Yuan Lixun in his arms, and the two of them spurred the horse forward. The strong wind blew past, but it made the two of them excited, as if they were going to ride the Red Silk Horse all over the world.
The Red Silk Horse let go of its hooves, and suddenly ran like crazy. It no longer cared about the horse team behind it, and lifted its hooves to leap and gallop on the grassland at its fastest speed, as if it was flying.
Although there was no saddle on its back, He Yiming and Yuan Lixun were not affected in the slightest with their current abilities. Moreover, when the Red Silk Horse galloped, it was already extremely stable. Even when it was galloping, it was still as steady as a mountain.
Not knowing how long it had been galloping like this, the Red Silk Horse's body was covered in dense beads of sweat.
But even so, it still did not seem to be satisfied. Instead, it was cheerfully stamping its feet, as if it could not stop.
On the contrary, He Yiming was a little reluctant. He gently stroked the horse's back, and gently clamped his feet.
The Red Silk Horse immediately understood its master's intention, and its speed gradually slowed down.
Horses were the same as humans. After galloping for a long time, it was best not to stop immediately, but to trot slowly for a short distance.
He Yiming looked back, but as far as his eyes could see, there was only emptiness.
After the Red Silk Horse galloped for a while, it had already left the group of Mount Heng disciples in the dust.
Yuan Lixun suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, "Yiming, you're looking for Mr. 108, right?"
He Yiming nodded slightly, then closed his eyes, and his two ears trembled slightly.
Although there were no signs of life on 108's body, He Yiming could not hear his voice. But if he wanted to follow the Red Silk Horse, then he would definitely give He Yiming a chance to hear him.
As expected, after a while, He Yiming opened his eyes, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes.
If 108 stood still, even a deity would not be able to discover him. But if he wanted to follow the Red Silk Horse, then he had to reveal his whereabouts.
After seeing the pride in He Yiming's eyes, Yuan Lixun immediately understood. She smiled sweetly and asked, "How far is Mr. Bai from here?"
"Very close." He Yiming laughed loudly, "Brother Bai, come over quickly, or we'll have to leave."
After hearing his call, 108, who was far away, immediately sped up. When he increased his speed, even a good steed like the Red Silk Horse would have to give way to him.
After a while, 108 finally arrived in front of them.
Looking at the expressionless 108, He Yiming smiled and said, "Brother Bai, we were impolite just now, please forgive us."
108 raised his head and said coldly, "It's alright, I'm your bodyguard. My task is to ensure your safety, not to restrict or restrict your range of activities."
He Yiming's eyes were filled with a strange color. He did not expect 108 to be so easy-going in this aspect.
However, 108 quickly said, "However, under the circumstances where your lives are threatened, I have the authority to prohibit you from entering dangerous places."
He Yiming was slightly startled, "What dangerous places?"
"It's a place that can kill you."
He Yiming's mouth twitched, and he tried hard to stop himself from rolling his eyes.
If there was a place that could kill him, why would he enter it? This guy really didn't understand human feelings when he spoke.
Yuan Lixun chuckled and looked at the sky, "Yiming, it's getting late. Should we go back or wait here for Elder Yu and the rest?"
He Yiming chuckled as he pointed to the front and said, "Since we've already come here, why should we turn back? I just heard a group of horses setting up camp. Let's go there for the night. "
Yuan Lixun nodded slightly. Since it was He Yiming's decision, she would support it unconditionally.
As for 108, as long as He Yiming did not enter the dangerous area, he would not have any objections.
As he said, he was He Yiming and his wife's bodyguard, and not their superior or elder.
The three people and one horse advanced again, but this time He Yiming consciously slowed down the speed of the horse so that the Red Silk Horse's speed would not scare others.
Before the sun above their heads gradually moved to the west, they had already reached the front of the group of carriages.
This was a medium-sized group of more than three hundred people. From afar, He Yiming could see many people in different clothes. Some of them were setting up tents, some were cooking, and some were standing guard.
Although it was obvious that these people came from different forces, the division of labor between them was orderly. It was obvious that this was not the first time they worked together on this road.
He Yiming suddenly sensed Yuan Lixun's questioning gaze, so he smiled and said, "These people should be some small peddlers. If they travel alone, it's inevitable that they'll be robbed. Therefore, even if they don't hire anyone to protect them, as long as they travel together, their safety will be greatly improved. "
Yuan Lixun was relieved. Although the Yuan family was not a big family with a thousand-year-old legacy, they had a long history. Although the Yuan family did not have a rich history, they had accumulated a strong foundation over hundreds of years.
There were many people in the manor, so even if they wanted to escort goods, the manor's customers, attendants, and servants would be in charge.
Therefore, although she had heard of small peddlers and caravans, it was her first time seeing them.
At that moment, the people in charge of guarding the area noticed them, and there was a commotion in the group.
Nevertheless, since there were only three of them, the commotion stopped very quickly. Most of the people went back to their work, but there were more than ten people in the direction where they were heading, and they were sizing them up with vigilance.
Faced with the cautious gazes, He Yiming laughed heartily and cupped his fists. "Everyone, my wife and this big brother were in a hurry, so we missed our lodging. We'd like to stay here for the night. "
The person in the lead was a man with a cold face. He looked capable and his eyes were bright and full of expression. His gaze was like a knife as it swept across He Yiming and the other two, as if he wanted to see through their origins.
However, he was soon disappointed because he suddenly realized that he could not see through these people at all.
The eyesight that he was usually proud of seemed to have lost its effect at this moment.
The only feeling that these three people gave him was … unfathomable.
He frowned slightly and vaguely felt that such people should not be offended.
He coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, I'm the leader of this group, Xu Su from Tai 'a County in Tian Luo Kingdom. I've just returned from Kai Rong Kingdom. May I know if the three of you are from Kai Rong Kingdom or Tian Luo Kingdom? "
He Yiming raised his head with a rather arrogant expression.
Xu Su and the people behind him were all people with sharp eyes. When they saw He Yiming's expression, they immediately felt that they were unlucky to have met someone from Kai Rong Kingdom.
The two countries were neighbors, and although there was no war, the residents on both sides of the border had a sense of competition.
Kai Rong Kingdom was one of the three strongest countries in the northwest, and its national strength was at its peak. Naturally, it was not something that Tian Luo Kingdom could compare with, so the people from Kai Rong Kingdom had a superior attitude in front of the people from Tian Luo.
However, just as they frowned, they heard He Yiming's clear voice, "Of course we are from the Tian Luo Kingdom."
Strictly speaking, only He Yiming was from Tian Luo Kingdom, and Yuan Lixun was from Jin Lin Kingdom. As for 108 … God knew where he was from, so he could be directly ignored.
However, since He Yiming was the leader, everyone automatically became people from Tian Luo Kingdom. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
