Vol V Chapter 39
"Giddy! Go…"
The cavalry roared like the wind, and the horses galloped wantonly. The men shouted one by one, competing to see whose equestrian skills were more exquisite and agile.
The winner rode his horse through the team in a high-profile manner, enjoying the cheers of his companions.
The losers were not discouraged. While they sincerely cheered for the winners, they also secretly decided to go head on and surpass them next time.
After a cloud of dust, an old man driving a shabby carriage appeared in the dust. He waved his hand helplessly to disperse the dust and sighed faintly."Sigh! Little Red, it's only the two of us left again!"
"Hiss…hiss"
A hissing sound rang out. Old Yellow looked up at the source of the sound and laughed involuntarily."Haha, I almost forgot that Little Black is here. He actually learned to complain…"
"Haha, Little Red, Little Black, catch up to them! Go…"
……
A red sun hung in the horizon, and the sunset glow burned half the sky red.
"Young Master, it looks like we have to camp in the wild today.”
Wang Deye looked at the road that was so smooth that not even a single person could be seen. He felt somewhat helpless.
"It doesn't matter! The wilderness was the wilderness, so be it. Being so close to nature might have another kind of fun!”
The First Phoenix smiled. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face, adding to his heroic spirit.
"Alright, let's find a good place by the water.”
After Wang Deye finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved. The two riders behind him suddenly sped up and left the group, charging forward.
Fortunately, after a short walk, a horse returned and led everyone to the stream he had just found, and the rest was logical.
Picking up materials, catching game, and setting up tents were simple and orderly.
"Wang Quan, Du Dake, the few of you hurry up and eat. Later, you will take turns to rest and keep watch according to the order we arranged earlier.”
Wang Deye held a bowl of wine and turned his head to instruct the few people who were tearing at the chicken thigh.
"Boss, don't worry. Leave everything to us.”Du Da Ke carried a grilled fish and promised.
"Yes, I'll leave it to you guys." " You must be careful," Wang Deye reminded with a smile." Don't let the enemy sneak up on you when you're dozing off."”
"How can I? As long as someone dared to come, he would definitely give them an explanation.”Wang Quan spat out a mouthful of chicken bones and promised repeatedly. His tone was very confident in their work as guards.
It was late at night, and the bonfire crackled. From time to time, there would be snoring.
The First Phoenix woke up from her meditation and ran to the fire to add some wood and branches.
At this moment, the First Phoenix was not sleepy at all. Logically speaking, she should have gone to bed early after running around for the whole day.
Perhaps it was because he was getting closer to home, but the more he wanted to sleep, the harder it was for him to fall asleep.
He got up and ran to the stream to wash his face. He casually wiped his face with his sleeves and leaned against a short willow tree. He stared blankly at the pitch-black sky.
After being far away from the dark battles on Liberty Island, he had been living a leisurely and comfortable life for the past ten days. He was not used to it.
To be honest, he was really despicable. When he was on Liberty Island, he wanted to get rid of this numb and cold-blooded life as soon as possible. Now, he missed blood and the sound of the whistle.
He had only been gone for ten days!
The First Phoenix sighed faintly and laughed at her own conflicting feelings.
When he had gotten used to his already numb lifestyle, he was suddenly given a brand-new environment. In the end, he was at a loss and felt lost.
This was an illness! Cure!
It seemed that she had to gradually adapt to the current identity change and the pace of life. The First Phoenix thought for a long time and came up with such an answer.
Unknowingly, he fell asleep. When he woke up, he found that he was covered with a piece of clothing. He didn't need to think to know that it was done by the girl who was always thinking about him. He looked up and surveyed the surroundings. He saw a familiar figure washing up by the stream. First Phoenix smiled and got up to walk to the stream.
"Morning, Xueyin."
The First Phoenix greeted Xue Ying and squatted down to wash up.
Xue Ying took out a towel from the carriage. The First Phoenix took it and wiped it carefully. Then, she pulled Xue Ying to the side of the guard who was busy preparing breakfast.
"Yo! The millet porridge is not bad."
The First Phoenix smiled and said to Lin Jianghai, who was from Lingnan Mountain Village, jokingly,"Wang Lin, why don't I see Lin Fugui, who's always been with you? Could it be that you went to the side to slack off and let you work here alone?”
"Hehe, Young Master, that guy didn't control his mouth yesterday. He caught the roast chicken and ate it all. He had a stomachache this morning and was fighting in some nook and cranny.”
Lin Jianghai was stirring the millet porridge in the pot with a spoon in one hand. He looked up and smiled at the First Phoenix, revealing his neat white teeth.
"Haha, I found out yesterday that he eats the most in a group of people.”
The First Phoenix found a rock and sat down. She smiled and said,""At that time, I was still puzzled and secretly sighed at this kid's good appetite. He didn't even throw up his bones. I really didn't expect that it wasn't that he didn't want to throw up, but that the time hadn't come yet!”
Lin Jianghai chuckled as well. He felt that this young master with a great background was really good-tempered. Even a lowly guard like him was willing to say a few words and even joke around.
In short, there was no one else!
The First Phoenix took the millet porridge that Lin Jianghai had prepared and turned around to pass it to Xue Ying. She asked for another bowl and took a few biscuits as she ate.
"Wang Lin, I remember you saying that you have an old mother and sister at home. Why didn't you think of bringing them over to live? Wouldn't that make it easier for you to take care of them?”
Lin Jianghai, who was only in his twenties but was already at the Seventh Stage Realm, was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he did not expect the First Phoenix to ask him about this matter. Then he explained with a smile,"Young Master, my mother has lived in Lingnan since she was young. She doesn't like to travel long distances and doesn't want to leave her hometown. Moreover, she's old and hasn't learned any martial arts.”
"Actually, I don't want to leave my homeland, but Boss Wang is my friend and he often teaches me martial arts. He treats me like a brother, so how can I abandon him? This is not what a man should do.”Lin Jianghai's eyes were in a daze as he said,"Perhaps in a few years, when Boss's power is strong enough and no longer can be bullied and humiliated by others, I will ask Boss to resign and go home to be filial to my mother.”
The First Phoenix nodded. There were countless people in the world who were more powerful than Wang Deye. As a peripheral leader of the Fang family, he seemed to have boundless glory on the surface. However, in a situation where he did not have a deep background to rely on, he relied on his own strength to fight to his current position as a county steward. There must be a lot of sadness behind his back.
He had also heard Wang Deye talk about some of his bitter experiences during their idle chats, and he could roughly understand how difficult it was. As Wang Deye's close guard, Lin Jianghai must have seen…much more than he had heard.
Everyone more or less had some unknown bitterness. How could he, the First Phoenix, who was the famous heir of a noble family, have any less?
However, life was like this. Perhaps when he recalled the pain today, he would treat it as a valuable experience.
But now, he could only grit his teeth and hide his tears and grievances deep in his stomach. He could only face it head-on and press forward!
