Cultivation Technique of the Great Witch

Chapter 53 stroll

On the official road early in the morning, Zou Heng and others had already set off again, left the small city before, and continued on the road to the royal capital.

Among the team, Zhang Xiaonian spoke casually.

“I said, we have already decided to go on the road today, but we don’t have to go so early. We are out of town this morning, and we haven’t had time to buy a few hot buns!”

This sounded like a complaint, but in fact Zhang Xiaonian didn’t mean to complain. He just wanted to say something casually so that other people in the team could talk to him more.

Today, he is actually in a good mood, because he no longer needs to walk slowly on the road again. He also rides on a horse. Although he is not at the forefront of the team, he is still in the front position of the team. Second only to “Li Sheng” and Zou Heng.

“Li Sheng” heard Zhang Xiaonian’s words and glanced back at Zhang Xiaonian. He who originally wanted to say something, thinking about the identity of the person he is currently playing, and his usual behavior, he just stopped ignoring Zhang Xiaonian.

Zou Heng turned around at this time and said to Zhang Xiaonian: “If you are bored, pay more attention to both sides of the road to see if there is any hidden danger. After all, you are also in the forefront of the team. Those who walk in the front are often the first to be attacked by others.”

As soon as Zou Heng said these words, although Zhang Xiaonian knew that Zou Heng was frightening himself, he was still a little uneasy, and his eyes began to constantly look at the left and right sides, especially in places where people might be hidden.

Seeing him like this, Zou Heng smiled in his heart and pulled his attention back from both sides.

Today is the third day of Li Sheng’s departure. Counting the time, he should have reached his destination if the road goes well alone. The next step is to bring people back to rescue them. It will also take three days to save them. time.

And these three days are only an ideal state. Under the premise of all going well, Li Sheng will also need this time to return at the earliest.

If there is a delay on the road, or if there is a slight obstacle, the time will be longer. It is difficult to say how long the specific time will be.

The team is now back on the road, and continue to move forward. This can somewhat shorten the distance, but it can’t go too fast. Before Li Sheng returns with his troops, it is best not to reach a place suitable for others to do it.

Zou Heng had studied the next map. They were only less than two days away from the nearest place where they might be attacked. If they were traveling at a normal speed, they would definitely get there before Li Sheng returned.

The thing to do at this time is to delay as much time as possible on the road, and delay the journey that would have been reached in two days at least to three days or even longer. For this, Zou Heng has already made some arrangements. .

The team was moving at a normal speed on the official road. At noon, the team stopped for a rest and then continued to set off, but the speed was a little bit slower than before.

After that, as the team was moving, the carriage in the middle of the team suddenly stopped, and then the body of the carriage fell in one direction, immediately stopping the team.

Zou Heng and “Li Sheng” looked at each other concealedly, then immediately turned their horses’ heads and quickly came to the carriage. After a busy period, they pulled out the three of King Ren, the princess and the little majesty in the carriage.

The carriage overturned, and the three of them were not in any serious trouble. Only Faye Wong and His Royal Highness were slightly frightened, and they were fine after a short rest.

After several soldiers inspected the carriage, one of them said to “Li Sheng”: “General, the rivet on one side of this carriage fell off, causing the wheel to fall off. This caused the carriage to turn over, but the problem is not serious. Repair it. If you fix it, you should still be on the road.”

Hearing what the soldier said, “Li Sheng” immediately said: “Then take a rest here, fix the carriage by the way, and then we will continue on the road!”

After receiving the order of “Li Sheng”, some soldiers were on guard around, most of them began to rest, and a few people began to repair the carriage, and Zhang Xiaonian also got in to help them repair the carriage.

According to him, when he was an apprentice in a pharmacy, the car that transported medicinal materials in the pharmacy broke down several times, and it was all repaired by him. However, after Zhang Xiaonian joined, the soldiers who were in charge of repairing the car felt that the other party was here at all. Troublesome.

Without the help of the other party, they might not need an hour to repair the car. After the help of the other party, it took more than two hours before the carriage was finally repaired.

After the carriage was repaired, it was almost dark. If we set off today, it can only be regarded as a long journey. Everyone is looking for a place to camp again.

Fortunately, the team has always been on the official road, and the closer it is to the royal capital, the higher the population density. At this time, some people can already be seen around the official road. It took a while for everyone to reach a place not far from the official road. After revealing his identity and paying some money, local villagers vacated two yards next to each other as a place to rest at night.

This evening, Zou Heng did not hurry up to practice as usual, but first made some decorations around the two houses, and then a fire rose in the yard, surrounded by some soldiers who were in charge of the night. Slowly wait till the night is quiet.

The reason why Zou Heng did not practice as usual today is firstly because the qi-breathing method of the gods he cultivated may be the reason for the fragrance on his body, which made him somewhat unclear about this fundamental method, and whether there is some hidden danger in his cultivation.

The second is the way of delaying time on the road today. To put it bluntly, it is not very clever. Zou Heng is worried that those who have been staring at the team will be suspicious. Even if they are not ready to do it at this time, there may be some tentative actions. So I had to cheer up.

Today, he didn’t practice as usual, and Zou Heng, who was sitting by the fire, felt that the night time was extremely slow, and even the time was unbearably slow.

When the soldiers on the night changed their guards, Zou Heng thought it was about to dawn. As a result, only half of the time had passed, and the night was still very long.

Zou Heng, who didn’t want to just sit quietly, finally chose to continue his practice. He still didn’t practice the God-breathing method, but chose to practice the resting method that he hadn’t practiced in some days.

Zou Heng, who had fallen into a state of cultivation, re-experienced the clear sense of surrounding things when the resting method was in operation, and the relatively slow efficiency of mana cultivation.

In fact, when you need to be alert, practicing the resting method is a very good choice. At least in the process of increasing mana, Zou Heng can still feel any small movements around him, but he has experienced the rapid increase of mana. After the speed, for this inefficient mana growth rate, it will feel a little unbearable.

After Zou Heng restarted his practice, time seemed to have become faster. The originally difficult night passed quickly. After daybreak, everyone quickly settled the breakfast and started on the road again.

This time in the process of marching, Zou Heng did not use the horse-drawn carriage routine, but when passing a mountain halfway, he pretended to have found something, and was very careful to make the team temporarily stop for a while, and then arranged People went to search, which delayed a lot of time and delayed the speed of the team.

Later, when everyone found a place to rest at night, there was still more than a day away from the place where the attack might be encountered.

That night, Zou Heng was still the same as the day before, very carefully guarding against someone coming to try it out. Fortunately, until dawn, the things he worried about did not happen after all, which made Zou Heng a sigh of relief.

Deliberately delaying the speed of travel for two consecutive days, and there is still more than a day to reach the location where the attack may be encountered. This means that when Zou Heng arrives at the location where the attack may be attacked, Li Sheng may also Bring troops to arrive, if the two sides can rendezvous, then it will be completely safe.

On the third day, the team walked steadily for a day. There were more pedestrians on the road and closer to the capital.

In the evening, the team came to a small village. As before, they used some money to temporarily borrow two yards connected together. After staying, Zou Heng called “Li Sheng” and Zhang Xiaonian into King Ren’s room. Said to them solemnly.

“Everyone is cheering up tonight, beware, something bad may happen tonight!”

It may be that the danger is really coming, or that Zou Heng himself is too nervous. From today on, during the day, his heart is a little uneasy. When he comes here at night, the uneasy feeling in his heart still lingers in his heart.

The time agreed with Li Sheng is now almost the same. If in the most ideal state, Li Sheng should have been able to rendezvous with them. After all, they are also on the road, shortening the distance between each other.

But now that Li Sheng has not arrived, it means that something may have been delayed on the road. If the news of Li Sheng’s return with soldiers has been exposed, then the “Li Sheng” in their team should also be known to others. .

Zou Heng didn’t need to say more about these principles. The three people present also understood that after Zou Heng’s reminder, they all nodded and said that they would cheer up at night to prevent accidents.

After leaving the room of “Niwang”, “Li Sheng” reminded the other soldiers in the team that they must sleep in bed tonight, sleep in clothes, and be ready to fight at any time.

And Zhang Xiaonian was also arranged by Zou Heng to stay in King Ren’s room before midnight tonight, and if anything was wrong, he called him out loud, and Zou Heng would replace him in the middle of the night.

With such an arrangement, Zou Heng didn’t know if it was useful, but all he could do was this, and the rest could only be dealt with after it happened.
