Chapter 455 The Performing Army Commander

When the woman saw what Gu Lanting was wearing, she was frightened and dropped the bowl in her hand. The moment she let go, she felt filled with regret. This was life-saving food.

And a black figure passed by, accurately caught the falling bowl, and moved steadily in the air, catching the scattered soup and stopping it.

"Don't be afraid, we are not bad people."

Lu Chen showed what he thought was a friendly smile and placed the soup bowl on the big stone. He glanced at it and saw that there were only about a dozen grains of rice.

People in this world also eat rice, but it is not the kind of rice on Earth. They call it Gumi, which is much more nutritious than the rice on Earth.

But because people’s physiques are different, in fact, the food requirements are almost the same.

"Father-in-law, who are these two?"

The woman was in shock, mainly because she almost broke the bowl, she said doubtfully.

"Travellers passing by, we chatted for a while in the village and invited them to have a drink of water."

The old man explained.

When the woman heard that she was not inviting her to dinner, she felt relieved and felt that her father-in-law had not done anything stupid after all.

Lu Chen and Gu Lanting didn't care about the simple environment. They moved a small stone from the courtyard and sat down next to the big stone. The woman took out two small wooden cups from the house and poured two cups of what she had made before. I boiled some water during the meal and gave it to Lu Chen and the others.

During the meal, the three members of the family were silent, and the woman kept looking at Gu Lanting warily.

"Where is the old man's son?"

Lu Chen held the cup but did not drink.

The old man hugged the bowl and sighed, "Isn't it what I said before? Young people are bloody and impulsive, and they will end up serving others."

Mentioning this incident, the little girl who had just licked the bowl of noodles had her eyes turned red. She saw her father being killed with her own eyes.

She looked at Gu Lanting with hatred and timidity. It was the man dressed like this who killed her father.

"Feel sorry."

Lu Chen apologized.

The old man waved his hand, "It's not your fault. No need to apologize. It's just that our lives in the north are miserable."

"Grandpa, why don't you eat..."

The little girl walked up to the old man, stood on tiptoes, and looked at the other man's bowl. The soup in it had gone down a bit, but the rice grains had not decreased at all. There was still some saliva flowing from the corner of her mouth when she spoke.

It was okay not to eat, but after eating a little, I felt hungrier.

Gu Lanting watched this scene from the side, stood up and said to Lu Chen: "Sir... Sir, I want to go out and get some fresh air."

Lu Chenxin said that this was a bad reason, because there was no fence. What was the difference between the courtyard and the outside?

However, he also understood the other party's mood. As a man who would distribute his food to the villagers and rely on his strong body to hold on, Gu Lanting really couldn't bear to see this kind of scene.

Especially in this scene, and with the army being blamed, even though he was no longer a high-ranking person in the army, he still felt a little guilty.

Lu Chen nodded, and then Gu Lanting walked out.

The old man looked at this scene with some confusion. Didn't he say that he would go together in a group before? But it seems that this person is clearly your guard. He has a clear status. What did he want to call you just now?

After Gu Lanting left, Lu Chen sat there and thought silently. The first part of the main mission of the space was to inspect the northern border, so what exactly was he going to do?

Is it enough to understand the current situation in the North?

"Grandpa is full, let little Lika eat the rest."

The old man handed the bowl to the little girl. The little girl raised her hand tangledly, fighting between reason and hunger.

"Lika!"

The woman scolded sternly, causing the little girl to retract her hand.

She took a sip of saliva and said, "Lika is also full. Grandpa eats."

Lu Chen sighed, "Here, eat this."

A piece of brown, something like chocolate appeared in his hand, but it was actually not chocolate, but a compressed food produced in space. 100 origin coins can weigh 100 kilograms. It has no special effect and can only satisfy hunger.

Before Lu Chen entered the world, he also considered the possibility of being thrown into an uninhabited land, so there was a large amount of food and drinking water in the storage space.

Lu Chen felt that the compressed food actually tasted pretty good, and he could choose the flavor. He mainly exchanged for various meat-flavored ones, while Hui Liyi exchanged for sweet ones.

He knew this wouldn't solve the problem, but he felt a little aggrieved if he didn't do something.

After the palm-sized piece of compressed food was exposed to the air, it exuded a faint aroma of beef, which made people's fingers twitch.

Little Lika seemed to be unable to control her body. Somehow, she walked up to the tall, masculine-looking uncle and stretched out her hand.

"Lika!"

Then he was interrupted by his mother's scolding. The old man stood up and took the little girl back.

Then he looked at Lu Chen: "I'm making you laugh. As travelers, you should also need food. After drinking water, go quickly. My Lika is a country girl, a country girl."

The old man was a little wary. He just saw that the piece of food with a shiny surface and a strange smell appeared out of thin air in the opponent's hand. The food looked very high-end, like something only nobles could afford, and the appearance out of thin air meant that The other party has a storage ring.

That's something only the nobles of the empire can have!

In his impression, nobles are not good people. They are all perverts with unique sexual interests. Maybe they are attracted to his granddaughter.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, looking at the old man's wary eyes, he thought that he thought he was some uncle with some quirks, and explained with some embarrassment: "The old man misunderstood, we have a lot of food with us, it's just a temporary feeling. "

Seeing the young man's embarrassed expression and sincere eyes, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and realized that the other man was indeed just showing kindness.

But he was still trying to find a way to refuse. The people in the north were simple and decent, and it would have been embarrassing to invite people to his home just to drink a glass of water and eat their food...

He thought about the wording of rejection and was about to speak when he heard a voice next to him.

"Delicious!"

The old man looked down at his granddaughter and found that she was already holding the piece of high-end food in her hand and starting to chew...

"Oh, you kid..."

The old man looked at Lu Chen sheepishly, "Thank you."

Lu Chen waved his hand, "Just think of it as accommodation fee."

The old man patted the little girl's head again and winked.

The little girl licked the corner of her mouth, and after regaining consciousness, she quickly raised her head and said sweetly: "Thank you, uncle"

Lu Chen felt a little awkward. In the dragon world, he used to call himself brother.

But at his current age, he seems to be indeed an uncle.

Little Lika happily hugged the piece of food. After chewing one-tenth of it, she stopped and handed it to her grandpa, "You are full. Grandpa and mom should eat some too."

The woman patted little Lika's head lovingly, "Then put Lika away first. Mom and grandpa are not hungry."

Little Lika thought for a while, then raised the piece of food and said, "Mom, help Lika put it away."

The woman reluctantly took it and found something to wrap it up.

…………

In the evening, Lu Chen and Gu Lanting rejected the old man's invitation and only found something to spread out in the corner next to the courtyard wall as a resting place.

In fact, before he entered the world this time, he brought the portable and shrinkable bed specially made by his supporters, but this kind of thing could not be explained to Gu Lanting.

After a night of silence, Lu Chen and Gu Lanting prepared to hit the road early the next morning. The northern border was huge, and he had only seen a small part of it.

The old man's family sent them to the entrance of the village, and also helped Lu Chen and the others point out the direction to the nearest resting place.

"Uncle, this is for you"

Little Lika stood on tiptoes and held up a straw man doll, which was her favorite toy.

Lu Chen touched the little girl's head and said, "Keep little Lika, uncle doesn't have room to take it with him."

The little girl was struggling when she suddenly saw a Pamir Eagle circling in the sky. Children are easily distracted and were immediately attracted by the majestic condor.

"It's so big. It would be great if I could become a Pamir eagle and fly freely without any worries."

Little Lika said innocently, but she felt that this life was impossible. If there was a next life, she hoped that she could be reincarnated into a Pamir eagle.

Lu Chen leaned over, picked up a stone as big as a human head from the ground, and weighed it.

In the doubtful eyes of the villagers, he squatted down slightly and pressed his arms down. Amidst the tremors of the earth and the harsh sound of breaking through the air, the stone directly penetrated the chest of the Pamir eagle in the air, and opened out of a huge hole.

The monster died instantly and fell from the sky like a kite with its string cut off, landing more than ten meters behind Lu Chen.

He patted the dust on his hands and said, "Put it on first. There is hope while you are alive. Everything will be fine."

Due to the force and large movements, the front of his Night Wind opened, revealing the clothing underneath.

On the dark aristocratic costume, a lion is roaring.

The old man looked at the family crest, and then remembered what the guard said yesterday, the unspoken name, and his brain was paralyzed for a moment.

When he came to his senses, he found that the man and his guards were already on the road.

The old man knelt down tremblingly and shouted: "Your Majesty the Duke, you are finally back!"

Lu Chen didn't look back, he just raised his hand and waved, and walked away with Gu Lanting.

…………

At noon, because Lu Chen and Gu Lanting sped up their journey, they soon arrived at a town.

Bulun City is one of the small cities in the north. The situation in the city is much better than that in the villages. At least looking at the busy people, it shouldn't be said that they are hungry for several days before eating one meal.

There were also beggars on the street. Seeing that Lu Chen was clean and tidy, he wanted to come forward to beg, but when he saw Gu Lanting, who was dressed as a soldier, he backed away.

Walking through the streets and alleys, when Lu Chen passed by a place, he noticed that there were so many people, who seemed to be watching some kind of performance.

Lu Chen and Gu Lanting squeezed through the crowd and saw a wooden board standing on the ground, which read:

"Punching bag, as long as you have a handful of rice, you won't be disabled, it's up to you!"

In the center of the venue stood a man nearly two meters tall, with a huge back and muscular waist. He was naked from the waist up and facing his "customers" with a silly smile.

The client was a woman with black hair and blue eyes who was dressed luxuriously. She was punching and kicking the man, but the blows did not seem to hurt her. As she was beating him, she was shouting: "Let you cheat, let you cheat." !”

It was obvious that he was taken advantage of by a man, and then he used the person in front of him as the target for his venting.

The middle-aged man had a silly smile and was very calm. It wasn't until the woman kicked him in the lower body that his face turned red.

Unable to bear it anymore, he bent down and said, "I, I said, miss, you can't kick in this place...hisssssssssssss-"

The woman coquettishly took out a silver coin from the small bag at her waist, "Can you kick it!?"

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he let go of his hand in a tangled manner, with a heroic look on his face, ready to wrong his second brother in exchange for silver coins.

Just when the woman raised her feet to continue venting, a voice came from outside.

"Gree, why are you here!"

The person who spoke was Gu Lanting, with shock and confusion in his voice.

After being interrupted and distracted, Gree subconsciously blocked the woman's feet. Due to the force of the shock, the woman fell to the ground.

He also looked at Gu Lanting with surprise on his face, "Gu Lanting!"

Gu Lanting looked at the situation in the field, and the laughter and pointing of the onlookers, and he said angrily: "You have embarrassed us all!"

But Gree didn't hear the other party's curse clearly. His mind was attracted by the man standing behind Guge. He quickly knelt down on one knee and performed a knightly etiquette. His eyes were wild and he said, "Your Majesty the Duke!"

At this time, Lu Chen also recalled the man in front of him in his mind. He was once one of the three elite regiments of the Great Wall Guards, the commander of the Iron Lion Regiment. He was considered to be the highest-ranking group besides himself and Gu Lanting. A general and one of the first to follow Duke Godzilla.

Gu Lanting wanted to express his duties, but realized that this was a public place and the Duke did not speak, so he fell silent again and stepped back.

"follow me."

Lu Chen turned around and walked out of the crowd. This was not the place to talk.

Gree didn't even bother to put on his shirt when he saw Duke Godzilla. He didn't even pick up the money on the ground. He just wanted to follow him excitedly.

"Hey, you punching bag, why are you fighting back! Give me your money back!"

The woman who was thrown down pointed at Gree angrily.

"No, no, no, just take your dirty money and get out."

Gree didn't look back at all, and just pushed away the crowd. At this time, the onlookers realized how brute force this performer was, like an ancient demonic cow.

The woman whose plan to vent her anger failed was stunned for a moment and stamped her feet on the spot. She failed to vent her anger. She was even angrier now, but she also had a thoughtful look on her face.

Duke?

She just didn't pay attention to whom the busker was speaking, but she heard those two words.

The Duke of the Empire has come to the north? Which Duke will it be?

On the other side, in the alleys of the town, in a secluded place, Gu Lanting continued to lecture Gree angrily: "Are you ashamed!? After all, you were once a legion commander, and you were performing on the street? And you are being treated like a fool? A punching bag? Let a little bitch kick your balls!?"

Gree looked indifferent and scratched his short head with a naive smile, "You need to eat."
