Chapter 113: Ignored by Kindness [Luoxi]
Roxi was a little impatient.
When I got up in the morning to wash up, a guard hurriedly ran over and told me that there was one who had not returned yet.
According to the guards, after drinking last night, they returned to the carriage in groups to spend the night; however, one of them left the tavern alone, and there was no news and did not come back until dawn.
The guards had already started searching in the village, but found nothing.
Luo Xi was a little worried and wanted to search with them, but was stopped by the guards - they thought it was a bit unqualified to ask the noble lady to find a humble servant.
Of course, they also knew that this reason could not convince the approachable Roxi, so they threw out a more heavyweight:
"If you go searching together, it will be difficult to gather together; if you find someone but you are not next to the carriage, you will need to spend time looking for you again."
Except for Jimmy who has been guarding Roche, the rest of the people
Logically speaking, it was not difficult for more than twenty people to find people in a small village; even if they knocked from door to door, they could be found out - however, Luo Xi waited until noon on the side of the carriage and did not see the lost guard.
This really made her feel a little nervous - what should I do? The person who chased her is likely to have caught up, and it would be quite dangerous to continue staying here;
But just abandoning the soldier and putting the glory of the White family? It is very far from Flint City, and it is quite difficult to walk back on foot; if he doesn't care about it, he will probably...
"Are you still not found?" Luo Xi frowned and asked a guard who rushed back to the carriage.
"Sir... we have searched the entire village, but we still haven't seen where that person is!" The guard bent and held his knees with both hands, panting with exhaustion: "We probably... he ran into the woods outside the village!"
In the woods! Luo Xi became more and more afraid the more he thought about it: Although there are not many monsters near the village, a drunk man, even a more ferocious beast, can bear his life!
He also has a family... He paid his life to escort himself in such a place. How could Luo Xi bear it?
Thinking of this, regret and sorrow began to drown Roxi: Why did he ask so many people to escort him? I thought he could scare away the assassin, but I didn't expect that he didn't care at all;
Why do you want them to go to the tavern? If you are by your side, you shouldn't be lost...
It's all my fault...it's all my fault...
Luo Xi knew that it was useless to think like this, but these thoughts still appeared in her mind involuntarily;
How to solve the problem?
Your own safety needs to be considered, and the lost guard cannot give up...
Luo Xi opened the map brought out from Flint City - currently, the group is in the middle area;
If you want to arrive at the next village before dark, you must hurry up after lunch.
It's time to make a decision; Roche sighed.
At noon, while Roshi was having dinner with other guards, Roshi had no choice but to make a decision:
Leave three people behind to look for the lost guard; the others come out after dinner.
In response, the escorts expressed a more resistant mood - they all said that it was too cruel to leave the escort there alone - if he encountered any danger and trouble, he needed help the most at this time!
Of course, if another nobleman was replaced, these guards would never dare to say these words; only people like Roxi would not be furious after hearing such complaints from their subordinates.
However, not being fire does not mean compromise. Roche patiently explained the necessity of this to them - if it is not available now, it will be impossible to reach the next village before dark, and the greater the chance of being even surrounded by those assassins;
What's more, it's not safe to travel at night.
Neither the assassination nor the monsters that were active at night would be open to those guards; this is not just a matter of safety for Roshi.
After Luo Xi explained to them with great since a long time, the guards finally reluctantly agreed.
I don’t think about how good your relationship is! Luo Xi feels that these people are a little abnormal - however, there is no time for her to think carefully.
Alas, these people are not managed by themselves, so it would be quite good to be able to do this.
On the question of who left behind, these people had to argue with each other again; in the end, Jimmy forced a few people who were lazy on weekdays to stay - these people were also delayed in their journey.
After solving these problems, the carriage finally started to move again;
I hope the lost person can go back safely - Roxi prays for those people in his heart.
Although the carriage drove away from the village, the guards still looked a little strange.
On weekdays, the guards either make jokes with each other or look at themselves along the window;
At this moment, they all seemed to be slowing down as if they didn't want to rush to travel.
It was almost half an hour since I left the village, and I had only been rushing to a distance of seven or eight miles - it was almost the same as walking! If this continues, I will not be able to reach the next village even if it gets dark... Luo Xi was anxious.
Several guards were entangled with Jimmy; they were asking Jimmy for a long time, as if they had something to ask them for something.
An ominous feeling gradually enveloped Roxi's heart.
It seemed that something bad was about to happen—the moment the thought came to her mind, the carriage suddenly tilted to the back;
The entire carriage was almost overturned to the ground from the side; Roxi's head also hit the wooden board on the side of the carriage, causing tears to flow out of the corners of her eyes.
What happened...? Luo Xi looked at the situation inside the carriage - the entire carriage was tilted to the back side, and the horses pulling the carriage stopped.
Luo Xi tried hard to support herself to climb out of the car door, intending to see what was happening—
The right rear wheel of the carriage actually fell off...!
"Why... this happens!" Luo Xi hurried to the side of the wheel, and the escort cavalry also stopped advancing and moved closer to her.
Luo Xi looked roughly at the location of the damage - it was not difficult to distinguish, there were quite new chopping marks on the axle; the axle, which was already close to the damage, could not support the breaking after being tossed for seven or eight miles...
It is obvious that this wheel definitely did not fall off due to natural wear and tear...it was man-made damage!
Well, last night, did an assassination spy sneaked into the carriage and cut off the axle?
It is impossible. I set up a warning magic circle near the carriage. If someone approaches, they will definitely be seen!
Then...who else can make the axle like this at what time?
Unsettling thoughts began to emerge in Roche's mind...
Chapter completed!
