Konoha starts with a young bird

Chapter 255 Mission Ended
Zhou Lai quietly walked behind the team, because the attack failed that night, and the warrior team that came to protect Ruoruo a while ago was obviously much more honest.

Everyone was very dedicated and surrounded the carriage where Ruoruo was in.Even the leader and deputy team, who were a little arrogant before, became honest.

Looking at the ordinary sky, the slight laziness on Zhou Lai's face has disappeared at this moment.

"What happened. Or is this a premonition before bad things come?"

Zhou Lai's brows had been condensed with a touch of sadness.

After leaving Qimeng Mountain and bypassing the nearby mountains, there is a plain all the way, and the official road leads directly to Daming Mansion.

The danger along the way has come to an end, unless they don't want to live, otherwise no bandit would dare to take advantage of the Daming Princess on the official road of the Daming Mansion!

So Zhou Lai also put his mind on the confusion in his heart,

The powerful intuition brought about by strong strength is not something everyone can have.At his current level, although it cannot be said that everything is so accurate, many premonitions in his heart cannot be ignored.

Everything around seems so normal now, and from a logical point of view, it doesn't seem like anything will happen.

But this feeling is like a shadow that is neither thick nor light, hanging over his heart.

I can't get rid of it, I can't figure it out.

and many more!

Zhou Lai suddenly thought of something, stared at the straight road, and subconsciously frowned. This road didn't seem to be dangerous at all, but the calmer the water surface, the more murderous it would be underneath.

"Are they preparing to ambush us here? But we will indeed relax at this time, and our vigilance is also the weakest time."

But what kind of hatred made them have such a murderous intent towards Princess Ruoruo?
Zhou Lai carefully calculated the raids he encountered on the way. Although the other party hired many killers, their hosts were not so determined to kill Ruoruo.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent two such stupid warriors with such narrow vision to do this.

It is estimated that they have not received the news of the mission failure until now.And the most important thing is that Zhou Lai didn't perceive any other chakra fluctuations from this road.

So the possibility of setting up an ambush on this road is not too great.

"If it's not here, then where is it?"

"The Mist Ninja. Or me?"

The solemnity between Zhou Lai's eyebrows became more and more intense.

……

Just as Zhou Lai expected, there were no emergencies along the way. Zhou Lai was lazily lying on the horse, looking sideways at the same lazy white clouds in the distance, with a mouth still hanging from the corner of his mouth. A tip of foxtail plucked from nowhere.

tread!tread!tread.
The sound of horseshoes approached Zhou Lai's ears from far to near. He opened his sleepy eyes and saw a mature and resolute face.

"Master Haifeng! We are almost there."

Langshi's hoarse voice rang in Zhou Lai's ears.

Looking past Langshi's heavy body, Zhou Lai saw the magnificent city wall on the horizon at a glance.

From here Zhou Lai could vaguely see the tight guards at the gate of the city.

Of course, this is not the escort to welcome Princess Ruoruo back to the city, but the city gate management team to check the identities of passing civilians.

Referred to as city management.
The daimyo's status is extremely noble, even if it is a small country, they still have to do a good job in security and defense.All personnel entering and exiting must do a good job of identity registration, which is a necessary activity.

"My task is to bring Princess Ruoruo back to Damingfu City safely. After entering the city gate, I will leave too. You guys have to work hard to bring the princess back to the palace safely."

Zhou Lai hesitated for a moment, but decided that it would be better to tell Langshi directly here, through Langshi, so that Ruoruo could have a psychological preparation later.

"Aren't your lords going to meet the daimyo with us? You will definitely get a lot of extra rewards when you go to meet the daimyo."

"There will be a lot of trouble." Zhou Lai couldn't help thinking in his heart.

Thinking about meeting a group of strangers with bureaucratic accents after meeting the daimyo, and then having to drink with them. Thinking about it makes Zhou feel uncomfortable.

"I won't go. I still have other tasks to complete. As for my entrustment money, please ask Brother Langshi to help me bring it back to Muye Village next time."

"My lord, don't call me big brother, just call me Lang Shi."

Langshi looked at Zhou Lai with horror on his face.

"Brother Langshi, you are being polite. You call me my lord, and I call you your elder brother. There is nothing inappropriate or inappropriate for this conflict."

Zhou Lai patted Langshi on the shoulder and looked at him softly.

"My lord, don't you even take the entrustment money?"

Lang Shi's face became relaxed.

"I originally wanted to give this commission directly to Brother Langshi."

But before Zhou Lai finished speaking, Langshi shook his head and looked at Zhou Lai resolutely.

"No, no, sir, absolutely not!"

"Hahaha, I knew you would have this attitude."

Zhou Lai patted Lang Shi on the shoulder again. During this time, the two had contacted a lot, and Zhou Lai also knew what kind of person the other party was.

He adheres to the Bushido spirit in every word and deed. Although he may look old-fashioned sometimes, he is a very trustworthy person.

"But I do have tasks to entrust, and it's not convenient to carry a huge sum of money, so I will trouble my brother, and I will bring it back for me when I go to Konoha in the future. Don't be deliberate, if you don't have time, this Treat the money as a gift from me to my elder brother."

Zhou Lai said very politely, in fact, he didn't take this money very seriously. Although he was protecting the princess of a country, the entrustment fee was about 20.00% higher than usual. To around [-] gold.

Although this will be a huge income for Lang Shi and the others, it is not so important for Zhou Lai.

Looking into Zhou Lai's eyes, Langshi hesitated for a moment and nodded,
"Since your lord said so, I will keep it for your lord first. I will perform the task again in a short time, and then I will go to Muye Village by the way and send it to your lord."

Lang Shi readily agreed.

Zhou Lai nodded and signaled Lang Shi to go back to command the team.

Although whether Zhou Lai will be in the village or not is still one thing, but if Zhou Lai explains these things too clearly now, it will have the opposite effect.

As the evening approached, the convoy slowly entered Daming City.

The horse on Zhou Lai's crotch followed closely behind, and he looked back at the sunset that was slowly turning dark red in the distance. In the twilight, the official road that he just passed exudes a dark blue visual feast.
