Seeing Hong Xiaoduo's unusually serious expression, the two adults and six children became a little nervous. They couldn't help but wonder if she was thinking of telling them to wait for her in a safe place.
I knew it! She was too happy too soon. How could she let them all get into danger together?
"It's like this, although I've never told you before, I know you've noticed it all along. Besides my amazing kung fu, I also have another rather special secret technique." Hong Xiaoduo's voice wasn't loud, but it was enough for them to hear clearly, while others couldn't hear it.
"Our destination is a battlefield, a war between two armies. The situation is not comparable to the bandits and robbers we encountered before."
If, and I mean if, we encounter a very dangerous situation, I might use a secret technique to make you invisible, so that the enemy won't be able to see you.
In an emergency, I might not inform you before using that secret technique again. So I'm telling you now that if you suddenly find yourself in an unfamiliar place where you can't hear or see anything outside, don't panic or get nervous. Even if you can't see me, don't worry about me.
Don't wander around, just stay there quietly, rest well, and wait.
If you can't see me, it means I'm not in danger, because if I were also defeated, I would naturally hide with you.
Of course, this secret technique must never be told to anyone else, not even family.
Huh? You can do that?
After hearing her words, the two adults and six children were initially shocked, but quickly accepted the information. They also breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that she was leaving them somewhere to wait for her; rather, it was a situation where they had no choice but to go invisible in a truly dangerous situation. That meant they could still be with her, which was really great.
The two adults and one child nodded together, indicating that they understood, comprehended, and remembered!
Although they were all curious about the invisibility technique she mentioned that would make them invisible to the enemy, Yao Guang, who was only six years old, was sensible enough not to ask if they could try it now.
If it were something she could easily try, she would have let them experience it long ago; she wouldn't have waited until now.
If it weren't for the war in Huazhou, she probably wouldn't have told them.
In the evening, they stopped in an open space by the official road. To save time and for convenience, they set up a large tent. For the past few days, Quan Jinghuai had been sleeping outside, not just for guard duty.
Instead, these days, after setting up camp at night, people fleeing the war on the road would gather there, hoping that one more person would be safer.
As a result, there are always those petty thieves who try to steal things, which is quite annoying.
If he really is a villain who kills and robs, then the two guards, Blackie and Gray, are enough.
They were all the kind of people who just liked to take advantage of others and were dishonest, annoying but not to the point of harming or maiming them.
People will analyze, weigh, and determine the level of wrongdoing committed by the person who comes, and then give them an appropriate lesson.
But Little Black and Little Gray, those two are a different story. If they were to fall, they might be crippled, or even killed.
The two horses that joined later were the ones given by the Wei family and the Marquis of Fu'an's family. Although they weren't as smart as Little Black and Little Gray, they were very self-aware as younger brothers, very obedient, and would follow orders.
Well, Hong Xiaoduo was a bit helpless about this, because those two blindly followed without distinguishing between good and bad. The Lan Pavilion Master must have offended Xiao Hui somehow. Whenever he got close to Xiao Hui, Xiao Hui didn't kick him, but instead gave him a bunch of donkey dung balls.
At first, Pavilion Master Lan thought it was a coincidence, but after it happened several times in a row, and he accidentally stepped on it twice, and after hearing Tian Shu and the others say that Little Gray never poops randomly, Pavilion Master Lan realized that this four-legged creature might be deliberately targeting him.
Xiao Hei didn't participate, but if his two underlings happened to be next to Xiao Hui and saw it, they would follow Xiao Hui's example and come forward to offer the Pavilion Master some fresh horse manure.
Quan Jinghuai slept outside in a recliner with a thick cushion, covered with a quilt, holding a sword. That was enough to deter those who planned to steal something.
Hong Xiaoduo suggested that she and he take turns sleeping outside, but Quan Jinghuai said no, saying that if she slept outside, it might attract some troublesome people.
Hong Xiaoduo said, "It's okay. If any pervert dares to come, I'll just give him a free castration."
Quan Jinghuai knew, of course, that she wasn't just saying it casually; she was truly capable of doing such a thing, so he resolutely refused. It wasn't that he was kind-hearted; he simply wanted his disciples to be able to get a good night's sleep.
For example, right now, seeing them stop to set up tents, three more groups of people quickly arrived and stopped nearby to spend the night. Everyone had hung up several lanterns, which made the area quite bright.
There was a man who kept staring at Fei Yan and Hong Xiaoduo.
Quan Jinghuai sighed. It would be better if this reckless guy behaved himself tonight; otherwise, he would either lose his eyesight or be castrated.
However, this time Quan Jinghuai really misjudged the situation. He did have something to do that night, but it wasn't that lecherous guy.
The group closest to Li Hong and Xiao Duo consisted of an elderly couple, a young woman, a chubby little boy who looked about eight or nine years old, a female servant, six burly servants, and two coachmen.
Judging from their clothes and demeanor, they must come from a well-off family.
They didn't have tents, so they used a large piece of felt to make a makeshift shelter, lit a fire to keep warm, and ate hot food. It seemed that after they finished eating, the leaders went into the carriage to rest.
