Chapter 217 - 127: Wander through Rivers and Mountains, Speak of Civilization_2
"This journey is arduous. We anticipated it. As long as Your Highness survives, our lives and deaths are insignificant."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Huai’an was struck as if by lightning, losing his soul, and could not speak for a long time.
Wang Liang silently followed behind. After walking a short distance, another team of soldiers arrived.
The leader, carrying two swords and two knives, had a dark complexion and a solemn expression.
Upon seeing the three disguised monks, he raised his hand to stop the soldiers behind him and pulled the reins to approach.
"Where are you masters coming from, and where are you going?"
Gongsun Jin answered one by one according to the old story. After the other party took out a portrait and scrutinized the three of them.
The leader suddenly said, "The northern land is no longer the territory guarded by Marquis Changting. Now this place is perilous, with bandits and evil-doers roaming. Since you are monks from the north, you should return early and never travel far again."
After speaking, the leader rejoined his team and led the soldiers back on their journey.
Zhu Huai’an, somewhat fearful, said, "Who is this person? I thought he recognized us."
Gongsun Jin, trembling with fear, wiped off his cold sweat and said in a hoarse voice, "This person is a commander from the Divine Strategy Camp, named Zuo Zixiong. The Prince and I once met him in the capital."
