Chapter 363
The carriage gradually moved forward. A black horse was pulling the carriage, and the bell on its neck jingled. The sound was exceptionally crisp on the road.
Nie Qianyu and Little Orange, who were in the carriage, were in a bad mood. They didn't say anything and were too lazy to pay attention to everything outside the carriage. They knew that after a while, the young man who was holding a long sword and leaping into the air would ride his David's Deer and part ways with them. In this vast sea of people, they didn't know when they would meet again.
They even faintly felt that this mysterious young man might not say goodbye to them when he left.
Yes, goodbye, goodbye. It was a simple sentence, but it was filled with deep expectations!
Sure enough, after the time of two meals, the curtain of the carriage hadn't been pulled open. The interior of the carriage was dusky. From time to time, light would penetrate through the gaps of the carriage, sweeping across the two's tightly stiff little faces.
"He really did leave. He left without saying goodbye."
The two of them thought at the same time.
However, when the crisp sound of the bell rang, it was like a deafening bell. Both of their delicate bodies trembled violently. Their gazes collided in the dusky carriage, and both of them were filled with surprise and disbelief. Almost at the same time, they whispered, "Why didn't I hear him talking to the bodyguard?
Why are we outside the city? "
Right now, it was quiet outside the carriage. Even the occasional sound was soft. Where was the impetuosity unique to Tanhe City?
If that bell was in the city, how could it have such a heavenly sound?
The two of them seemed to have woken up from a dream and rushed to pull open the curtain in front.
Wasn't the shoulder that wasn't very broad, the back view that had been deeply engraved in their hearts, right in front of them?
Little Orange rushed to say, "Ren Xiaoyao, why didn't you leave?"
Nie Qianyu also asked, "Big Brother Ren, why didn't you send us to the escort agency?"
"Why did you send us out of the city?"
"Where is this place?"
Zhang Xiaohua turned her head to look at the two girls who were overjoyed. Her heart also felt warm. It felt good to be protected by someone!
Not to mention a man who could protect a girl?
At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua truly felt like an adult.
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "This is the west gate of Tanhe City. We are already some distance away from Tanhe City. What are you two doing?
Are you afraid of running into bad guys? Are you hiding inside and not daring to come out? "
The two of them nodded tacitly and said, "That's right. If we're discovered in the city, we won't be able to escape."
"There's no need for that now. They've all gone to the East Gate and are chasing after you on the way we came. No one should be able to discover you for the time being."
"Oh?" Little Orange didn't quite understand.
"Oh!"
Nie Qianyu instantly smiled and said, "So it was planned by Big Brother Ren. I really admire you."
Zhang Xiaohua shook her head. "Miss Nie thinks too highly of me. I just casually killed a few bad guys. How could I think so far ahead?"
"Haha, Big Brother Ren is too modest." Nie Qianyu was not stingy with her words.
Little Orange was puzzled and said, "Young … Young Master Ren, I still don't understand. Why didn't you send us to the escort agency?"
Hearing Little Orange calling herself "Young Master" and calling herself a maid, Zhang Xiaohua frowned slightly and explained, "Little Orange, do you think I didn't want to send you to the escort agency? But even if I wanted to, they wouldn't dare to accept this mission."
Little Orange was curious and asked, "Why is that, Young Master Ren?"
Nie Qianyu smiled and said, "I see!"
This smile was very sweet.
"Miss Nie, you're really smart and very impressive." Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but praise her.
Nie Qianyu waved her hands and said, "It's useless to be smart. In front of Big Brother Ren's powerful martial arts, any little trick is just a small trick."
At this moment, Little Orange also understood. Looking at her Miss's excited face, her expression changed slightly. Then, she immediately returned to normal and said, "Miss is really amazing. I really admire you."
Zhang Xiaohua told her about how she went to the escort agency to find bodyguards. Then, she shrugged and said, "I didn't have a choice. I couldn't just watch you fall into the hands of the bad guys. Moreover, if those people returned and couldn't find you, they might return to Tanhe City. I had no choice but to bring you out first."
"Sigh, it seems like we have to wait until we reach the next town."
Hearing this, Nie Qianyu and Little Orange's expressions turned ugly. They looked at each other and Nie Qianyu asked, "Big Brother Ren, can you tell me where you're going now?"
Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while and said, "Miss Nie, can you tell me where Mochou City is?
Or do you know how to get to Mochou City? "
Zhang Xiaohua didn't know where Mochou City was, let alone how to get there. When he was at the escort agency, although he wanted to ask, he was afraid of attracting attention. However, this Miss Nie in front of him was only 67 years old. In his imagination, she might not know how to get there.
Who would have thought that Nie Qianyu would only ponder for a moment before she explained the route from Tanhe City to Carefree City clearly without any hesitation?
Zhang Xiaohua was speechless. The thought of "Why is there such a big difference between people?" flashed into his mind again. He thought about how he had only just found out how to get to Ping Yang City. Look at this 67-year-old girl. Tsk, tsk. She was so much better than him.
However, immediately, a little person appeared in his mind and advised earnestly, "Don't compare yourself with others, silly boy. You're the son of a farmer. Being simple is your true nature."
"Pooh." Zhang Xiaohua spat on the ground. He had Nie Qianyu's charm. He thought to himself, "Do nobles and generals have guts?"
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's behavior, the two people in the carriage were surprised. They thought in unison, "Is this habit also contagious?"
From Nie Qianyu's explanation, Zhang Xiaohua found out that Mochou City was south of Tanhe City. It was about a month's journey away. The Ping Yang City that he requested was southwest of Tanhe City. It was still very far from Mochou City. The two routes were completely separated at Tanhe City. Of course, all roads led to Yu City, but the most comfortable official road was like this.
If Zhang Xiaohua wanted to return to Ping Yang City, he would have to go through the west gate of Tanhe City. There was an official road that passed by several cities before reaching Ping Yang City. This was also the route that Ji Xiaohua had drawn for him. If he wanted bodyguards to escort Nie Qianyu, he would have to go through the south gate of Tanhe City. There was also an official road that led to Mochou City. That was also the direction that the unknown gang was pursuing Nie Qianyu.
Of course, Zhang Xiaohua still had a choice. In the first ten days, there would be a famous escort company in a big city. It was not a bad idea to let them escort Nie Qianyu. However, this would delay Nie Qianyu's journey and take a lot of detours.
Thinking of the detours, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly had a new idea. He stroked his chin and thought carefully about the possibilities.
Behind him, Nie Qianyu and Little Orange saw that Zhang Xiaohua did not say anything after asking for the location of Mochou City. They sat quietly in the carriage and looked at the passing scenery outside. However, they did not pay attention to anything. They only secretly prayed, "Will he change his mind?"
"Will he send us to Rejuvenation Valley?"
After a while, Zhang Xiaohua said, "Miss Nie, I have an idea. Do you think it will work?"
Nie Qianyu asked curiously, "Please speak, Brother Ren."
"Actually, I originally planned to hire bodyguards to escort you two back to Mochou City in Tanhe City. However, I did not expect that Fu Shun Escort Company would not accept the escort to the south. Therefore, I have no choice but to place my hopes on the next city. However, I cannot guarantee that there will be a suitable escort company in the next city. Moreover, I am not sure if the escort company will be like Fu Shun Escort Company and not dare to accept this escort. Moreover, to hand you two over to unfamiliar bodyguards, that … I have decided that I can't bear it."
"Nonsense!
You only realized it now. So you have been treating us like goods and letting people escort us. God has opened his eyes. You only realized it now! "
Nie Qianyu and Little Orange looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with joy and relief.
Zhang Xiaohua continued to explain, "The place I am going to is definitely not where you two can follow me. However …"
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua dawdling, Little Orange became impatient and said, "Can't you finish your sentence in one sentence?"
Nie Qianyu hurriedly pulled Little Orange's sleeve with her uninjured left hand and said, "Little Orange, let Brother Ren finish."
Zhang Xiaohua chuckled and said, "However, you two can follow me all the way there. After I am done with my business, I will send you back. How about that?"
"Ah?!"
Nie Qianyu and Little Orange could not believe their ears. Nie Qianyu hurriedly asked, "Brother Ren, I have thought of this idea. However, the matter you are going to do must be extremely confidential and important. It will probably cause a sensation in the martial arts world. If we follow you, won't we affect you?
That's why I don't dare to say it. "
Zhang Xiaohua scratched the few strands of mustache on his chin with his fingers and said with a smile, "It's fine. As long as you don't have to follow me when you reach a place. When I'm done, I'll meet you at that place and send you off."
"Oh yes, Miss Nie, are you in a hurry to go back to Mochou City?"
Nie Qianyu smiled and said, "Even if we are in a hurry, we need to be alive to go back.
The place Brother Ren is going to is definitely not in the same direction as Mochou City. It might even be very far away. The further we go, the harder it will be for those bad guys to find us. Brother Ren, you are so smart. What a brilliant plan. You can achieve two goals with one stroke. I admire you. "
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua raised his invisible tail high. He was just short of a feather fan to show the elegance of a wise man.
Sigh, actually, as long as people get along with each other, it is inevitable that they will want to protect each other, let alone two budding girls.
Since Zhang Xiaohua had the ability to send the two girls home after visiting the Guozhuang House, as a man, how could he refuse such a … cushy task?
Everything was caused by male chauvinism.
