Chapter 185: The Eye in the Night

Chen Chao threw a piece of dry wood into the fire, and asked with a smile, "Brother, I have always heard that the people in the north are the real warriors of the Liang Dynasty. What do you think?"

Han Hu took a sip of wine and smiled, "To be honest, this is true. No one can be more worthy of the title of warrior than those guys on the north city wall."

"I heard before that there was a young garrison commander from Weizhou who had repelled countless students from the academy by the lake. Although I didn't go to the scene to see it, I felt excited just by hearing it. It's really well said. Those outsiders call us vulgar warriors, but we can't call ourselves that. If we look down on ourselves, how can others look up to us?"

Han Hu was a little angry and a little pleased when he spoke, and said softly, "I also heard that the garrison commander had been in the early years. He killed monsters in Weizhou and had a good reputation. He was a rare good official. Of course he was a warrior. Moreover, he had won the championship in the Wanliu Conference, which really brought glory to our Daliang Dynasty! "

"Now that we have come to this point, let's congratulate Daliang Dynasty!"

He raised the wine gourd and poured a big mouthful of wine into his mouth. Then he couldn't help coughing, but he didn't forget to throw the wine gourd over. Chen Chao took it and took a big mouthful, muttering, "This damn world."

Han Hu retorted seriously, "Now the world is already very good. If it was in the previous dynasty, how could it be so peaceful."

Just now, he was attacked by monsters. It's a bit inappropriate to say that the world is peaceful here, but if you really think about it, there was no such good world as it is now in the past tens or hundreds of years.

Chen Chao clapped his hands and said with a smile, "I was wrong."

Han Hu didn't care about these things. He just thought of the previous things and asked, "Looking at your cultivation, I guess you really come from a big family? Your movements are neat and tidy, and you are really no worse than those guys in the north."

Chen Chao smiled and said, "Not too big or small, you have a good elder and some small achievements."

Han Hu was a little puzzled and said, "Then, brother, did you go south just to travel?"

Chen Chao nodded and smiled, "The beautiful mountains and rivers of Daliang Dynasty, it's interesting to walk around."

Han Hu didn't doubt that most of the children of the rich families actually had different ideas from them. He couldn't figure it out, so naturally he didn't have an answer.

After that, the two chatted all night, and with the previous monster attack, their relationship became closer again.

At dawn, the caravan set off again, and Chen Chao lay on the carriage full of goods as usual.

After receiving Han Hu's greeting, the dozen warriors became much more friendly to Chen Chao. In fact, the most fundamental reason was that they had seen Chen Chao's attack that night, and he punched through a monster with one punch. It could be said that he was extremely arrogant. According to them, Chen Chao's blood was so strong that he was probably a warrior close to the realm of Shenzang.

As for other things, they didn't dare to think too much, especially Chen Chao's age. If they thought that Chen Chao had surpassed that realm, he would not be the one they should meet.

Chen Chao just lay on the carriage full of goods, tilted his head, and looked far away.

……

……

The caravan continued to move southwards. In the next half month, they encountered several attacks by monsters of different sizes, but fortunately they were able to deal with them. However, two warriors were unlucky and were killed by monsters. The caravan leader immediately looked unhappy.

It was not because he felt guilty about the death of someone, but because if someone died, he would have to pay a large amount of compensation, which was not much less than the commission for this trip. They would not be happy to take out a lot of Tianjin money.

However, since it had been agreed before, they still took out the Tianjin money they should take and gave it to Han Hu even if it hurt.

As the leader of this escort, Han Hu's credibility was accumulated from escorting time and time again. If not, no one would be confident to hand over a lot of Tianjin money to him. After all, the wives and children of these people would eventually rely on this Tianjin money to live.

After finding a place to hastily bury the two men, Han Hu placed the two stones he had picked up on the grave, poured a gourd of wine on the grave, then squatted in front of the grave and whispered, "Wait for me to come back and take you home."

The other warriors were very silent and said nothing.

Chen Chao sat up on the carriage full of goods and looked at this side in silence. He remembered that the two men were only in their early thirties. Although they were not from the north, they were also old soldiers. They had to retreat because of old injuries. Although their realm was not high, they were still very brave. Originally, they would not die like this in this attack, but they lost their lives just to help one of the warriors block the knife.

Such things have actually been happening all the time, but only today did someone die.

After a simple farewell, the caravan continued its journey. This time, everyone's faces were solemn again, without the previous relaxation.

Han Hu's temples had a lot of white hair, and he looked much older. This old soldier who came back from the north actually didn't know that if anyone died, he would use his share of the reward to make up for it.

This time, Han Hu was destined to go for nothing, but the old guy didn't feel wronged, but worried about the families of the two men.

After that, the caravan encountered nothing for several days. Finally, at dusk, they saw a small town in the distance. They were about to enter Cangzhou. The small town ahead was on their route. They were really tired and wanted to spend the night there.

But they couldn't go there tonight. They chose a spacious open space beside the official road and built a lot of fires.

The tired merchants fell asleep, and the warriors still took turns to keep watch.

Still in front of the fire, the two sat opposite each other.

Han Hu looked at Chen Chao wearily, and said seriously, "You should know when it is most dangerous."

Chen Chao said, "This city is in front of us. Thinking that they will be able to enter the city tomorrow morning after sleeping for a night, their tense nerves will definitely relax. Once they relax like this, it will be the most dangerous time."

Han Hu said solemnly, "I have long sensed that something is wrong, but it is just a feeling, so I have never said it. I wonder if you have the same feeling, brother?"

Chen Chao looked into Han Hu's eyes and said seriously, "You are right."

"In the dark night, there has always been a pair of eyes watching us, at least for several days."

Chen Chao looked at Han Hu and said calmly, "It is waiting for us to be the weakest."

Han Hu grasped the knife at his side and asked nervously, "Should we wake them all up?"

Chen Chao said, "If the realm gap is still too big, it will be useless no matter how many people there are."
