Chapter 144 One month later
One month later.
Amidst the lofty mountains, a caravan was advancing on the mountain road. The caravan was very long, with ten carriages pulling goods, and there were many strong men on horses in front and behind to protect them. There were also several sedan chairs at the end.
There were businessmen, family members and clerks sitting inside.
The businessman's name is Liu Jincai. He is sitting in the front and most luxurious carriage. His beautiful and dignified wife is beside him, and there is a fourteen-year-old daughter. The family is talking and laughing, and they are very happy.
In the carriage at the rear sat the clerks, the steward, the accountant, the servants and the maids. Naturally, the steward and the accountant sat behind Liu Jincai's carriage, followed by the maids, and finally the servants.
In the last carriage, the servants were rarely at leisure, talking and laughing about their own affairs. They were all wearing the same clothes, except for one person.
It was a young man wearing a blue and black coat. He was sitting quietly in the corner alone, with the hat on his coat hanging down over his head, covering most of his face, as if he was sleeping.
The journey is long, and there are always times when the servants run out of topics to talk about. When everyone has finished chatting about their own interesting things, they seem bored. At this time, they can't help but look at the young man in the corner.
"Hey! Man!" A servant came to the young man and pushed the young man's shoulder with his hand.
After being pushed, the boy finally reacted a little. He slowly raised his head, raised his hand and took off the hat on his head to reveal his entire face.
If not Lu An, who else could it be?
His clothes are no longer the clothes of Spark Academy. They are mainly black, very simple but also very clean. The ring that he has been wearing since he was a child still hangs on his chest, and his bright eyes have a bit of vicissitudes of life.
"Is something wrong?" Lu An asked softly.
"I said, man, why do you love sleeping so much? From the first day you got in the car to now, for three full days, you have been sleeping during the day and night!" The servant couldn't help but said, "This is how you sleep.
We all look scared!”
Lu An moved his body when he heard this, smiled and said, "I've been like this since I was a child, don't worry."
"Then don't sleep. It would be a pity not to be active on such a beautiful day! Besides, we can count on one hand what we have said to you in the three days since you got on the bus. Let's have a good chat together! Don't forget that there are still four more
How boring it would be to not chat for a day's journey!" said the servant.

Lu An looked at the eight pairs of eyes in front of him looking at him. He was indeed a little tired from practicing just now, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
"That's right!" The eight servants cheered and immediately gathered behind the carriage, ready to listen to Lu An's story.
Lu An looked at the eight servants, took a breath, and asked, "What do you want to know?"
"Where are you coming from? What are you going to do? Is there anything interesting?" the servants asked quickly.
"I came from Spark City." Lu An said softly, "I plan to go to Tiancheng Kingdom to join my relatives."
Hearing Lu Anyan's concise and concise answer, the servants were disappointed. One of them quickly asked, "What about the interesting thing?"
Interesting thing?
Lu An frowned, thought about it seriously and said, "I once had a big meal in the Central Shopping Street of Spark City."
"Wow!!!" The servants let out a burst of admiration after hearing this, and some even drooled.
"I really want to have a feast like that! I heard from the master that the feast at the Central Shopping Street is the most delicious anywhere, and the chefs in the house can't make it!"
"Yes, even the names of the dishes are more beautiful than the last. If I could only take one bite in my life, I would die without regrets!"
"..."
"What else?" Another servant asked quickly, "So your family is also a wealthy family, what other fun things are there?"
Lu An thought about it seriously again, shook his head and said, "No more."
"..."
The servants all had a look of astonishment on their faces, but looking at Lu An's serious look, they didn't know what to say. Another person immediately asked, "Where is that person? Have you met anyone interesting or unforgettable?"
"
people?
The beautiful figure immediately flashed in Lu An's mind, and there was a trace of longing in his eyes, but it only passed by for a moment.
"No." Lu An said with a smile, "I am a loner and I am used to being alone.
.”
"Hey..." The servants were disappointed again. They shook their heads and continued talking about each other's things, because no matter how boring they were, they still talked more than Lu An.
Looking at the servants chatting in front of him, Lu An stretched out his hand to open the curtains and looked at the mountains and flowing water outside, his expression looking particularly calm.
A month ago, he escaped from Tianmu City, bought a horse on the way, and fled overnight to the city closest to Tianmu City. Then he changed a horse and took the official road to Yueyu City, and then from Yueyu City to Guanglu City. Guanglu City
It is the easternmost city of the Midnight Kingdom, and further east is the Tiancheng Kingdom.
He walked very slowly along the way because he was always inquiring about the news about Tianmu City. It was not until he learned that Spark Academy paid a heavy compensation and Tianmu City released Li Hongtang that he could escape with peace of mind.
No matter what, he owes Li Hongtang his life and owes Spark Academy a huge favor.
It is not easy to get to the Ziye Kingdom, because there is a huge mountain range between the Ziye Kingdom and the Tiancheng Kingdom. To get to the Ziye Kingdom, you must start from the official road, and the official road has a fortress on the border, and you must pass the review before you can pass.
Lu An was afraid that Tianmu City had notified the fortress about his matter, and he would have to take a very long detour if he did not go to the fortress, so he found this caravan, gave the merchant some money, and mingled with it before successfully passing through the fortress.
Tiancheng Kingdom is his destination, because the relationship between Tiancheng Kingdom and Ziye Kingdom is not very close, and Tiancheng Kingdom's national power is stronger than Ziye Kingdom. No matter how long Tianmu City's hand is, it is impossible to reach Tiancheng Kingdom, so he
It will be very safe here.
When he was in the Tabukal area, there were always slaves trying to escape to Tiancheng Kingdom, so he put his first target here.
Just as Lu An was thinking, the carriage in front of him suddenly stopped, and the carriage following him also stopped. The butler got off the car and said loudly to everyone, "Rest here for two-quarters of an hour. Everyone is free to move around. Two-quarters of an hour's rest here."
Come back on time!"
After hearing the butler's words, all the servants immediately ran out of the carriage to stretch their bodies. After all, the carriages of the servants did not catch up with the carriages in front. Not to mention, they were made of hard wooden boards and the people were very crowded. They were already tired from sitting and needed to move their bodies.
Everyone got out of the car.
Lu An also got off the car and came to the airport
There was a stream nearby. He walked down the official road and came to the stream. He picked up a handful of water and washed his face to make himself more awake.
Looking back inadvertently, Lu An saw the businessman and his wife and daughter also getting out of the car. The three of them were talking and laughing. Lu An looked at the family and his eyes moved slightly.
Shaking his head, Lu An turned around and poured a few handfuls of water on his face before standing up. Suddenly, he saw some fruit trees on the other side of the stream. His eyes suddenly lit up. He stepped on the stones on the stream and jumped a few times.
After crossing the stream, we easily climbed up the fruit tree and picked the fruits.
"Brother Lu, pick some for us too!" The servants drinking water by the stream shouted when they saw it. Lu An smiled when he heard this and filled his pockets with clothes.
With a 'plop', Lu An landed firmly on the ground without dropping any of the fruits in his arms. The fruits here were just ripe and looked very appetizing.
Lu An stepped on the stones and jumped across the stream again, and came to a group of servants.
"Come on, this fruit is very good." Lu An said with a smile, and a group of servants took one each without being polite and started eating it without washing it.
The sound of eating here was loud, and the people in the upper official road were drooling when they heard it. After the businessman said something to the steward, the steward shouted to the servants below, "Wash all your fruits and bring them up!"
The servants were shocked when they heard this and quickly bowed and said yes. Lu An didn't care and gave them the rest of the fruits. After washing them, the servants took them up.
Seeing that the merchant's family was eating with gusto, Lu An also smiled slightly and was about to turn around and pick some fruits to eat on the way.
He crossed the stream in three steps and came to the fruit tree. Just when he was about to climb up the tree again, he suddenly heard a roar behind him!
Lu An was shocked, and quickly turned around to look, only to find more than a dozen large rocks rolling down the mountain quickly towards the caravan!
These boulders were moving very fast and without any warning. No matter the businessman, servants or escorts, they could only watch as the boulders fell and became a mess!
"ah!!!"
The screams of fear rang out, especially on Shanjianguan Road!
