Chapter 104 Heavy.
“I just experienced it in there!”
Hong Kaijia looked pleased with himself, no longer as flustered as he had been in the inner room.
The two were shocked when they heard this, thinking that medical science was truly magical. Why had they never heard of such a method of treating injuries before?
"Don't brag!"
Wang Shisanlang didn't believe it, which made Hong Kaijia beside him anxious. He quickly said, "If you don't believe me, go ask the teacher!"
After all, Wang Shisanlang didn't ask Li An.
After filling their stomachs, they decided to rest here for one night and set off again tomorrow morning.
"Sir, when I went hunting, I checked the surrounding terrain. It's impossible for the pursuers to catch up in a short time."
Now that everyone has not left the border of Qing Kingdom, it is natural to be careful.
We were supposed to set off overnight, but considering Li An's injury, we decided to delay for one night.
Although Li An had slept for a few hours before, he had just undergone a minor operation and was a little tired, so he agreed.
"Shisanlang, I'll trouble you to keep watch tonight." Li An began to make arrangements.
Wang Shisanlang nodded. Staying up all night had no effect on him. He did need someone to stand guard at night to guard against pursuers.
He said, "If we follow the waterway and rely on the speed of the 'armored vehicle', we will reach the 'big lake' in a few days. That is the territory of Northern Qi. However, it is not easy to stop and dock along the way, and we will not have enough food."
Hearing this, Li An looked at the bear meat that had been mostly eaten up by the four people and was greatly surprised. The four of them really had big appetites!
There isn't much change in the body and belly. Is this the consumption after a warrior fights?
He chuckled with joy, his expression filled with relief, feeling the comfort of a full stomach.
Li An yawned, lay down sideways by the campfire, and said mysteriously: "We have enough food."
After saying this, he fell into a deep sleep.
······
The next day, the four continued on their journey.
The tanks sailed like boats in the middle of the river, going upstream.
Li An and the other two were inside the tank, only Hong Kaijia was outside "liberating his nature".
There was a purpose in arranging Wang Shisanlang to be on duty last night, because Yan Xiaoyi had to continue to control the tank today. Therefore, he had to shrink into the narrow space to step on the accelerator, and occasionally listen to instructions to control the direction.
After yesterday's battle, Li An found that his skills had improved a bit when he circulated his true energy. He expected that there would be more challenges waiting for him in the future.
'This is the Grandmaster Realm. There is still a lot of room for growth. Moreover, there should be realms above the Grandmaster Realm!'
He shook his head and drove away the distracting thoughts, mainly because the roars of the disciples outside were too loud. Li An called up the system and saw that the domineering true energy column had reached the top, secretly guessing how to move forward.
Does it mean that one has to collect all three secret books that Ye Qingmei brought out from the temple and practice the three kinds of skills together to break through the upper limit of this world?
Or should I try my luck, work hard to earn money for the lottery, and wait for a cultivation method from the high-level martial arts world?
No matter what, Li An decided to try both to verify his guess.
At noon, everyone fell into silence as they ate the steaming big meat buns that Li An brought out.
"teacher"
The three of them were numb, and it didn't matter where Li Ang got the big meat bun from. But wasn't it too much to say that it was still steaming?
"Damn it, why do you have so many questions?"
Li An didn't know how to explain it, so he simply interrupted his disciple's question rudely.
He believed that such words would naturally prevent the two smart men, Yan Xiaoyi and Shisanlang, from asking further questions.
You can't just use the excuse that you have magic like "The World in Your Sleeve".
Now, the three of them looked at Li Ang and felt that the person in front of them was becoming increasingly tall and mysterious.
Five days later, Hong Kaijia's shouting was heard in the cabin.
"Teacher, there is a village ahead!"
Inside the tank, Yan Xiaoyi calculated the time and the speed of the armored vehicle and said, "We should have entered Northern Qi. This is the entrance to the 'Great Lake'." He looked at Li An and continued, "We can't go any further. There is only endless river water ahead."
Li An nodded, and the three of them went outside and looked at the village.
Just like before, the tank came to the shore. Li An asked the three to go ahead and stayed to deal with the armored vehicle, saying that he would sink it to the bottom and come back to get it later.
Although everyone was confused, they didn't say anything more when they thought of the steaming meals they had eaten in the past few days.
The steaming buns are fine, they are easy to carry and can be heated without wasting energy. But what the hell is the roast duck rice?
After the three people left, Li An put the tank back into the space.
Looking at the tank floating in the rotation on the system interface, with its damaged exterior, Li An thought that he might be able to use it in the future. He put his mind at ease and used the Wind God Leg to catch up.
In the past few days, Li Ang's injuries have been completely healed with the help of various elixirs, and the great master is about to embark on a new journey.
Inside the village, it was silent and empty.
"Nine out of ten houses are empty. All the villagers have fled!"
"It's all because of the war between the two countries! Let's find a bigger house and fill our stomachs first!"
"How do you know how to eat? The roast duck tastes good, right?"
Hong Kaijia and Wang Shisanlang were arguing with each other, and the four of them found a room to settle down.
"No!" Yan Xiaoyi drew out his short knife with his left hand and stood on guard silently. "There's obviously no one in the village, so why did the firewood in the kitchen stove just go out?"
Hong Kaijia took off the sword box of his teacher and held it in front of his chest. Although his brows were furrowed, he did not look nervous. You know, there are two ninth-grade masters and a grandmaster here, no one can do anything to him and others.
"Could it be that the pursuers are so fast?" Wang Shisanlang asked, but he denied the question and asked instead: "Could it be that they are from Northern Qi?"
"somebody is coming."
Li An's ears moved slightly to remind everyone.
The four of them leaped onto the beam. A moment later, the sound of a door opening was heard outside the courtyard.
Then, with a thump, the wooden door of the main room was kicked open.
I saw a group of people in exotic costumes coming into the inner room, and two big men among them carefully moved a coffin-shaped box into the house.
It turned out that they chose to stay here because of the large rooms.
Looking at the box and the struggling expressions of the two men, Li An's mind was moved. Could it be that there were gold and silver inside? Were these people horse thieves?
wrong.
Li An circulated his true energy in his eyes and finally saw a row of strange holes on the box, which made it difficult to guess what the purpose was.
The people on the beams exchanged glances, wondering whether to show up. Anyway, these people were not the owners of the house, so there was no need to worry about causing any misunderstandings.
At this time, another group of people came to the outside of the yard.
The leader of the group walked in first. A middle-aged man who looked like a manager walked out from the crowd who had arrived first. He clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "I am Chen Guang, a lieutenant under the general. I am honored to meet the commander of the Jinyiwei. My general asked me to say hello to the commander."
The man who came was Shen Zhong, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, who was a member of the Northern Qi Queen Mother's party.
He went straight to the point and said, "So you are General Uesugi Tiger's confidant, Captain Chen Guang. I wonder if the captain has brought the things I requested?"
"Jinyiwei Commander Shen Zhong?"
"What secret dealings do the Northern Qi general Shangshan Hu and Jinyiwei commander Shen Zhong have?"
Yan Xiaoyi and Wang Shisanlang exchanged glances, while Hong Kaijia on the side had a blank expression and didn't understand a single word.
Li An watched all this with indifference, with no intention of taking any action for the time being.
