Chapter 22 Swaggering out
After talking about the elixir, Zhong Wuhen explained some miscellaneous things in the mansion, then walked out and came to the guard loft. In the first floor lobby, Zhong Wuhen sat on the front chair, looked at the twelve guards standing in front of him, and slowly said: "The mission will be issued tomorrow!"
A hint of joy appeared in the eyes of the guards, "Ah, I can finally have a good meal!" Going out has a very special meaning for them, but it's a pity that such tasks are not available every day.
He glanced at everyone indifferently, "Haha, don't think too much. This time we are going to Beilin Village 30 kilometers away. It takes about five to ten days. If it takes a long time, it may take half a month!"
Listening to Zhong Wuhen's words, the guards were also stunned and said to himself: "What kind of mission is this? It takes so long!"
"And this is a mandatory task. All of you must participate, but you must definitely benefit from it!" Zhong Wuhen stretched out a finger, "You don't have to be responsible for the food and accommodation along the way, and there will be additional rewards after the end, how about?" Zhong Wuhen also spoke.
The next morning, a group of people appeared at the gate of Zhong Mansion. At this time, Zhong Wudao was wearing standard armor, the sword at his waist was even more extraordinary, and the red horse under him also neighed in a low voice. The first-level monster, the red horse, is also a mount for the army. He also followed the six horses, stopped at the gate, pulled the reins and raised the horse's hooves, which seemed to be full of spirits. "Father, I'm going now!"
Not long after, the second son Zhong Wuhu also came and rode a black horse. "Father, don't worry, I will never let you down!"
"Hold!" He clamped his legs and rode out on the horse.
Zhong Wuyue was wearing strong suits, which was different from usual. The little whip in her hand raised her head proudly, like a queen, with a guard behind her leading a horse. Their team was completely hiking, with only one horse.
Finally, at the end, Zhong Wuhen appeared. Compared to the previous few people, he seemed much more outstanding. He immediately shone the carriage. The twelve guards followed the carriage. Zhongli also saw that the martial arts guard was driving the carriage.
Stopped in front of the door, Zhong Wuhen opened the curtain, and then saw Zhongli walking towards this side. Zhongli frowned and looked at Zhong Wuhen, and snorted coldly, "Hmph, are you going to experience or go on vacation? What do you think?"
Zhong Wuhen said lightly: "Training? It's just a ridiculous excuse. Father, have you taken it seriously?"
Zhong Li spoke in a tone and couldn't speak, so he could only say with a strange look on his face: "Then be careful, no one can protect you when you go out, and everything is your own life first!"
Zhong Wuhen smiled faintly, "Then thank you father for your advice!"
After Zhongli walked aside, the four maids ran up immediately. Chunzhu took out a down robe and handed it in, with tears in his eyes, "Young master, it's cold outside, wear more clothes, don't get frozen!"
Xia He handed over a package, "Young Master, there are very few inns along the way, you can use these foods on the way!"
Qiuju took out a can of tea, "Young Master, you are used to drinking the tea I made. When do you want to drink this tea on the way? You can cook it yourself? But you can't make tea for the young master yourself!"
Seeing that the three good sisters were all ready for their own wishes, Dongmei also shrank the sachet hidden in her cuffs. As the carriage was about to leave, Dongmei hurriedly took out the wrinkled sachet and handed it over with her head down, "Young master, I'm afraid I'm not sleeping well when I go out. This sachet will help me sleep." Dongmei lowered her head and did not dare to look at Zhong Wuhen's eyes.
Zhong Wuhen played with this sachet, smelled the special smell on it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Looking at Dongmei with his head down, Zhong Wuhen said slowly: "Stretch out your hand!"
Dongmei subconsciously shrank down, then raised her head and stretched out her right hand.
"Left hand!" Zhong Wuhen made a few sounds.
When Dongmei's hand was stretched out, Zhong Wuhen also saw the dense needle eyes of Dongmei's fingertips, and her white and tender fingers had been destroyed. He shook his head helplessly, grabbed Dongmei's hand, took out a wounded medicine, crushed it and applied it to the injured finger. "I don't know how to cherish myself. If I find this next time, I will hit your butt!"
Feeling the friction of his fingertips and listening to his son's words, Dongmei's face turned slightly red.
"Okay, you four will wait for me to come back, do you know?"
"I understand, young master!" The four girls bowed again. When they raised their heads, the curtain had been put down and the carriage had set off. After the carriage disappeared from their sight, they turned around and found that their hearts were empty.
Forced to smile, Dongmei nodded, "Okay, let's go back. During this period when the young master is away, just treat it as a vacation for himself!"
Back at Qinglianju, Chunzhu was a little absent-minded about the miscellaneous items in the warehouse, sorting, recording, and making mistakes frequently.
In the kitchen, Xia Hexin was absent-mindedly cutting a piece of meat, which had been cut into meat paste but still didn't stop. She stared at the front, not knowing what she was thinking.
In the backyard, Qiuju sat on a chair beside the flower field, looking at the direction of the practice room from time to time, and then she kept staring at it there in a daze.
Dongmei was staying in the room with a bill in front of her, but she had no intention of looking at it. She kept stroking the tip of her left finger, raised the corners of her mouth, and kept smiling foolishly.
................
On the carriage, Zhong Wuhen threw a road map to Yi Dong, and then he rested. The shaking carriage made him drowsy. He opened the curtain and saw that he had already left the city, "Yi Dong, where have you been?"
At this moment, Yi Dong's voice came from outside, "Young Master, follow the route, there is an inn twenty miles away, and we can stay there tonight!"
Zhong Wuhen nodded and took a look again. The road they chose was actually pretty good. There were inns along the way, so they wouldn't settle in the wilderness. But this road was too difficult to walk, and it was really bumpy.
"When we are at our current speed, how long will it take to reach Beilin Village?" Zhong Wuhen also asked.
"Young Master, our speed is relatively slow. It takes about three to four days to arrive. Young Master Wudao and the others should be faster. It will arrive in two days. Are you worried that the journey will be too slow?" Yi Dong said truthfully.
Zhong Wuhen curled his lips, "What should I do so quickly? Hurry up and reincarnate! That's it. If you are tired, take a rest. I, don't worry!"
Zhong Wuhen had discovered it long ago. It was false to protect the powerful Wuhou in secret. If it were really possible, how could he not sense it with his strength? The only explanation is that the four Wuhous were sent to do other things. The truth is that Zhong Wuhen had discovered it long ago. If it weren't for a system mission, he would really be too lazy to be the scapegoat. Just thinking of his grandfather, Zhong Wuhen couldn't help but sigh, "This kind of thing is a bit too much no matter what it says!"
After walking for an hour and a half, the guards were a little tired. They tied the carriage and Yi Dong surrounded the other guards. Zhong Wuhen did not get off the car, but directly entered the alchemy system and refined two furnaces of Restoration Pills. Most of the two furnaces of elixirs reached the top quality, and the rest were also top-quality. Just as seeing the alchemist's proficiency slowly increasing, Zhong Wuhen couldn't help but shake his head, "Sure enough, is it still too slow to improve the level of the yellow-level elixir?"
Zhong Wuhen tried to refine the alchemy again. He had always refined five portions of each furnace before. This time he put six portions at one time. It was not the limit, but he could add them again. Finally, when he threw ten portions of medicinal materials into it at one time, he found that this was the limit. It was very exhausting to control ten portions of medicinal materials to refine them at the same time. With the running around along the way, Zhong Wuhen himself could not bear it. After refining two furnaces of elixirs in a row, Zhong Wuhen stopped.
At this moment, Yi Dong spoke again, "Young Master, there is an inn not far ahead!"
Zhong Wuhen glanced at the pile of gold coins in the storage space, nodded, "Okay, I understand, let's go over!" At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and the lights on the inn could be seen from afar.
When the group entered the inn yard, a guy dressed up walked out in a row, "Oh, everyone, you are staying in a hotel, and you have all the good rooms in this store!"
Yi Dong grabbed the reins and did not speak, but said opposite: "Young Master, you are here!" After that, he squatted down.
Zhong Wuhen opened the curtain, stepped on Yi Dong's shoulder, and then put his feet on the ground. The guy smiled and came over, "This young man, this restaurant has a great guest room and warm meals, please invite it inside!"
Zhong Wuhen took out a gold coin and threw it to the servant, "No need to say anything else, prepare the good for my horse." This gold coin was a tip, enough to make the servant happy.
"Hello, this young man, please come inside!" After that, the guy also went to pull the carriage back!
When he entered the inn, a warm feeling immediately dispelled the cold on his body. Zhong Wuhen took off his robe and threw it over. Yi Dong was quick-eyed and grabbed it firmly.
Zhong Wuhen stood by the counter, looking at the boss lady in exposed clothes in front of him, and couldn't help but smile.
The boss’s wife is about thirty years old, but she is a famous local widow. "This young man needs several rooms. I will prepare now!"
Zhong Wuhen said lightly: "Three rooms are in the room, and in addition, prepare the meals and hot water, and send them together. This is a deposit, more refund and less supplement!" As he said that, Zhong Wuhen also took out a string of (twenty) gold coins and placed them on the counter.
