Volume 1 Chapter 385 No Obligation

Everyone looked around and saw that there was no one on the official road. There were dense bamboo forests on both sides of the road. The weeds were nearly one meter high. Even if there were people hiding inside, they would not be able to see the direction clearly.

There must be a reason for the horse's fright. Lu Feng also sensed something unusual. He was sure that there must be someone in the bamboo forest and weeds, but the area was too wide for him to determine the location.

If he were alone, Lu Feng would definitely go in to look for him, but his current mission was to protect Li Nezha, so he couldn't get away. He could only wait where he was and be on guard with full concentration.

At this moment, a strange sound similar to bird singing came from the bamboo forest. Although it was not very loud, it was loud enough for everyone in the group to hear it.

Li Nezha was not very courageous. He had been so arrogant in front of Gan Ce because he relied on his status as admiral and the imperial edict in his arms. But now... as soon as the bird chirped, he immediately shrank behind Lu Feng, looking around in panic.

Gan Ce and the others actually smiled when they heard the chirping sound. Gan Ce also sneered, then raised his hand and took out a purple snail-shaped object, put it to his mouth and blew hard, and it actually made the same sound.

The next moment, the bamboo forests on both sides of the official road began to shake rapidly, and the weeds collapsed. A large number of soldiers holding swords and knives emerged from them, surrounding the entire official road. At a glance, there were at least thousands of people.

These soldiers were not from the Huoyun Army. They wore blue linen robes, helmets with blue tassels, brown cowhide armor, and large broadswords. Their faces were dry and rough, and their skin was dark.

There are a total of two thousand people, who are the most elite soldiers under Gan Ce, and a personal guard team that is skilled in both naval and land warfare.

They followed Gan Ce from the coastal city to serve as guards along the way. After Gan Ce entered the capital, they set up camp thirty miles outside the capital and waited. Now that Gan Ce is back, these soldiers will naturally come out to meet him.

With the support of two thousand elite soldiers, Gan Ce could no longer hide the smile on his face. He no longer took Li Nezha and the others seriously. He rode his horse in front of all the soldiers with his head held high and shouted loudly: "Line up!"

At a shout, the two thousand soldiers quickly lined up in four rows, two on the left and two on the right, leaving the middle road free for Gan Ce to pass.

The twenty personal soldiers behind Gan Ce also joined the teams. Gan Ce sneered at Li Nezha and took the lead.

When they were about to enter the road surrounded by soldiers on both sides, Gan Ce stopped and turned his head and said, "Admiral, the journey is long and the road is dangerous. I will lead the troops in front to clear the way for you and remove obstacles."

These words sounded like an order, without any intention of negotiation. Li Nezha was afraid at this moment. After all, the other party had more people and more power, so he could only give in temporarily. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go. You go in front, hahahaha."

Gan Ce suddenly burst into laughter, stopped looking at him, and rode away on his horse. The soldiers on both sides followed him little by little, with no intention of waiting for Li Nezha and the others.

The marching troops raised a lot of dust that covered Li Nezha and others. The ten members of the Dark Department were so skilled in martial arts that they were not affected by the dust. So only Li Nezha was coughing there constantly.

When the dust cleared, Li Nezha stared at the army in front of him with a gloomy face and cursed: "Bah, what kind of bullshit, you are just taking advantage of others' power. Just wait, sooner or later, I will make you obedient."

When Lu Feng and other members of the Anbu heard this, they all complained in their hearts, "a dog relying on the power of others" wouldn't be a more appropriate description of him? Didn't he know it himself?

In a blink of an eye, it was late at night. As there were too many people, the inn in the town could not accommodate them all, so everyone camped in the mountains and forests to rest. No one set up a tent for Li Nezha, but the ten members of the Anbu were used to resting in the wild, so each of them jumped onto a tree and found a branch to rest.

Now Li Nezha became a person who was not loved by his grandmother and uncle. Seeing that everyone was about to rest and Gan Ce was nowhere to be seen, Li Nezha looked at the empty forest and the densely packed tents around him and felt even more uneasy.

Suddenly, a wolf howled, and Li Nezha screamed in fear. He didn't dare to stay alone any longer. He ran to a military tent, pulled open the curtain, and shouted to the soldiers inside: "Get out! This tent is mine!"

How could the soldiers who were preparing to rest endure this? They shouted curses and rushed forward to attack Li Nezha. However, Li Nezha raised his head and shouted: "I am the new admiral of Weihai. You dare to attack me? Do you want to rebel?"

Several soldiers froze and hesitated. Li Nezha said again: "My words are orders. Get out of here. If you need anything, let Gan Ce come to me!"

After saying this, Li Nezha really found a bed and fell asleep.

Several soldiers were really frightened by his appearance. They looked at each other, discussed for a few words, and then went to inform Gan Ce.

Li Nezha felt somewhat uneasy. He now understood the situation. With Lu Feng and other guards around, he could save his life no matter what he did, but he might not be able to escape being beaten.

In this case, he had to live in the military tent even at the risk of being beaten, because it was so scary outside.

Li Nezha was waiting in the military tent with a worried look on his face, wondering if he should hide or not if someone would come and beat him up. Would those Anbu guards help him?

After the soldiers whose military tents were robbed reported the matter to Gan Ce, Gan Ce frowned slightly, thought about it, and asked them to set up a new military tent and not cause trouble.

The soldiers felt uncomfortable after receiving the order but they had no choice but to go down. Gan Ce sneered, "Humph, if I let you, a eunuch, be so arrogant for a few more days, once you are far away from the capital, I don't think you will be able to smile anymore!"

That night, Li Nezha fell asleep while thinking, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn.

Li Nezha quickly ran out of the tent to see, and saw that Gan Ce's personal soldiers had already packed their luggage, dismantled all the tents, and lined up in neat rows. Two thousand commanders were giving orders, saying that they were ready to set off.

He rubbed his eyes quickly, suspecting that he had seen it wrong, but when he looked again, he saw that the marching team in the front had actually started to move. Turning his head to look again, the ten Anbu guards led by Lu Feng were already riding on their horses, ready to set off.

Li Nezha suspected that he had come to the wrong world, and hurried over to stop Lu Feng, asking in confusion: "Wait, wait, what are you doing?"

Lu Feng smiled and said, "Of course we have to hurry up. Admiral, please get on your horse quickly. It will be bad if you fall behind the team."

"Hurry up..." Li Nezha was confused for a moment, looked at the sky again, and asked hurriedly: "You...they...don't need breakfast, just get up and leave?"

Lu Feng said: "Everyone has already used it half an hour ago."

Li Nezha angrily asked: "Why didn't anyone wake me up?"

"My Lord Admiral, you are sleeping so soundly, they naturally don't dare to call you. As for us, we have no obligation to do so." Lu Feng said as a matter of course.
