The general's wife took her child on the road to exile

Chapter 139: A girl was seen crying for her father on the road.

Gu Qingfeng and his guards were riding in a carriage on the official road to the imperial capital of Dayu Dynasty. There was a team of a hundred guards behind the carriage, and dozens of secret guards were protecting him in secret.

The earth spirit suddenly spoke in his mind...

"Haha, great! There is a treasure in the mountains ten miles to the east. Let's go..."

Gu Qingfeng...

I'm helpless. It's always so noisy. I've said it several times but it doesn't remember.

Suddenly, two people appeared in front blocking the road. A thin girl was lying on an old man in hemp clothes and crying. He had just died, and the characteristics of a corpse gradually appeared on his face.

There was a torn bundle and a musical instrument that looked like an erhu on the ground.

The woman's hair was dry and yellow, and her face was full of despair and sorrow.

A guard told Gu Qingfeng about the situation ahead. He sighed, ordered the secret guard to help the woman bury the old man, gave her some change, and asked her where she wanted to go.

Soon the secret guard came back to report that the girl came from Youxi Desert and was going to the imperial capital of Dayu Dynasty to look for her relatives.

The woman was grateful to them for helping to bury her father, and she insisted on meeting the owner to express her gratitude.

Gu Qingfeng told the secret guard Liu Heng beside him, "You go and dress up as the master, say a few words to her, and let her follow the guards all the way to the imperial capital. Keep two secret guards who can identify poisons near the woman. In case there is a trick, don't let her have the chance to poison us."

The secret guard Liu Heng saluted him with his fists, then turned and left. He was tall, with a heroic look between his brows. Liu Heng had a pair of auspicious phoenix eyes, wheat-colored skin, and was highly skilled in martial arts.

Ten breaths later, Liu Heng came out of a carriage. He was wearing a black robe embroidered with gold patterns, a light blue hero headband inlaid with white mutton-fat jade on his forehead, an emerald jade pendant hanging around his waist, and white boots on his feet.

Liu Heng had half of an exquisite fox mask on his face. He walked up to the woman and stared at the orphan in front of him with his sharp eyes. Her appearance was rather abrupt, and Liu Heng was very suspicious of her.

The woman knelt down and kowtowed to him, crying and thanking him for helping her bury her father. She also said that she was alone and helpless, and could not go to the imperial capital alone, so she hoped that this kind-hearted man would help her and take her on the road.

Liu Heng...

On the surface, there was nothing wrong, but he felt something was wrong.

He nodded and said he could take her away, and the woman kowtowed to express her gratitude.

Liu Heng signaled the secret guards to keep an eye on her, and he returned to the center of the team to meet Gu Qingfeng.

Two people helped the woman up and put her into a car, where they placed a large water bag, dried meat roasted in the morning, and a few naan bread in front of her.

The guards headed towards the mountains in the east.

Half an hour later, the convoy stopped and the guards went down to find firewood to make a fire for them to cook. They grilled meat and heated up dry food.

Liu Heng had already told Gu Qingfeng about the girl's situation, and he also told him about his suspicions. Gu Qingfeng nodded and said, "You can handle these things. You should encounter a lot of such things on the road. I usually don't show up. You are the leader of this team."

Liu Heng said to him, Director, don't worry, I will take care of everything, just stay here. Wear a mask when you go out, otherwise your handsome face will attract attention.

Gu Qingfeng smiled and nodded: "I'll go out with the mask."

He was holding a book that had been mailed in his hand and was reading it. The book described the ancient demons and monsters in the Western Wilderness. They had great magical powers and were constantly standing there, turning the rich Western Wilderness and most of the Southern Wilderness into desolate and barren.

After Liu Heng went out.

Gu Qingfeng was holding a cup of tea, and the image of a market he saw on the road yesterday appeared in front of his eyes. Many people in strange costumes were selling dates, raisins and walnuts at the market.

A young woman wearing a veil was skillfully weighing walnuts for the guests.

There was a gleam of enchanting and charming light in her eyes. The woman was dazzlingly beautiful, with an exotic face.

Gu Qingfeng blinked his eyes and smiled slightly...
