Chapter 593: A Familiar Shadow
Hearing the beautiful man's words, the complicated thoughts in my mind were suddenly swept away, and the whole person suddenly woke up, I immediately sat up and asked excitedly at the beautiful man, "Who is missing?"
My voice, visibly hoarse, was full of anxiety. Almost as a reflex, I thought it was the ponytail that had happened, because the person who had just filled my entire mind was the ponytail.
Seeing that I was so nervous, the beautiful man hurriedly explained: "It is our brother of the Loyalty and Righteousness League, as for who it is, I don't know, I only know that the current total number is one person worse than our original number!"
These words made my tense nerves relax a little, to be honest, I was really worried about the ponytail accident, so I was so nervous. However, the brother of my loyal alliance was missing one person for no reason, which also made my heart suddenly burst twice, and a bad premonition suddenly struck, I raised my eyebrows, and asked the beautiful man in a deep voice: "Have you found it, what if it is convenient to go?"
Hearing this, the beautiful man shook his head directly, and said in a heavy tone: "It shouldn't be, after our bonfire party was disbanded, I have strictly ordered everyone to return to the team and let everyone go back to their tents." Moreover, we stipulate that the toilet is not allowed to exceed the range of 100 meters, I just shouted nearby, but there was no response, maybe something really happened!"
If it's not a particularly important thing, a beautiful man basically won't deliberately ask me for instructions. He can solve it himself. But now, the beautiful man reported this to me with such a solemn face, obviously, he expected that the situation was not good, of course, it was not just as simple as losing a person, but he had a premonition of the coming of the crisis.
His hunch coincided with mine, and I knew very well that it was impossible for our brigade to lose one person for no reason. We are similar to the regular army, the discipline is very strict, every brother has undergone strict training, they will not leave the post without greeting, let alone get lost, so the only possibility is that there is a crisis. Perhaps, the person who came was still an extraordinary master. After all, even if we have a bonfire, there are people standing guard, so to speak, our large army is always on guard.
And, the other party was able to run to the place where we were stationed and quietly capture one of us, it is obvious that their strength is not simple.
Thinking of this, my eyes suddenly froze, and without any further delay, I immediately instructed the beautiful man: "Notify me, all urgently assemble, and make preparations for safety protection." Besides, let the hall masters of each hall count the people in their halls one by one according to the list, and be sure to find out who is missing!"
The beautiful man took the order and immediately went to do it. I put on my clothes and quickly got out of the tent.
Because of the relatively large movement caused by our emergency assembly, so much so that the ponytail Xiaofang and others were all alarmed and ran out.
As soon as Ponytail saw me, he immediately asked me, "What's wrong?"
I frowned slightly, and said calmly, "One less person!"
Ponytail is a smart person, and with a few simple words, she understands the meaning and doesn't say more.
Two minutes later, our team was assembled, and immediately, the top brass of the Loyal League began to count their respective subordinates, and each hall took its own members by name.
Finally, after a rigorous inventory, we found out that the missing person was Zhang Long from Qinglong Hall. ad_250_left();
This Zhang Long is an old man of the Loyalty and Righteousness League, he and the beautiful man are from the same school, both from the Normal University, from a very early age, he has followed the beautiful man, he is a very reliable brother, he has experienced the devil training arranged by Uncle Lin, and he has also been trained by the dark hall, his strength has improved rapidly, and finally became a solid member of our 600 war group.
Such a brother could never have been lost in a good way, let alone defected, and now, I am almost more sure that something really happened to him.
The beautiful man may have confirmed this thought, and his face couldn't help but become more and more solemn, he stood in front of me and asked me softly, "Laizi, what should I do?"
This matter is really difficult to do, it is already after the early hours of the morning at the moment, and it is not easy to find someone in the middle of the night. It's a wilderness again, and it's even more difficult to find someone, and besides, if there is really an enemy attacking. That means that we are being targeted, and the enemy is like a pack of wolves, watching us secretly, ready to wait for the opportunity to give us a fatal blow. If our men were to disperse and look for Zhang Long everywhere, then we would be even more dangerous, and we would easily be defeated by the enemy in the shadows.
However, knowing that my brother was lost, I didn't send anyone to look for it, which inevitably chilled the other brothers, and I couldn't help it, I couldn't just let Zhang Long go missing.
Just when I was struggling, suddenly, in the grass on my left, there was a sound of rustling, like someone walking.
Hearing this, my spirit immediately shook, I turned my head sharply, looked at the grass and shouted, "Who, come out!"
As soon as my words fell, a person immediately burst out of the grass, it was Zhang Long who we were looking for.
As soon as he came out, I and the beautiful man immediately surrounded him and asked, "Where have you been?"
Zhang Long hesitated and said: "I'm sorry, maybe I ate something bad, I have diarrhea, I'm afraid that it stinks to everyone, so I'll go farther, and I'm only done now!"
When he said this, Zhang Long's voice was obviously weak, and his face was very pale, not looking like he was lying. Moreover, Zhang Long has always been honest and an old member of the Loyalty and Righteousness League, so no one will think that he is lying.
I listened to Zhang Long's words, and the big stone in my heart was also put down, it seems that it was a false alarm, no matter what, it's okay. However, I still symbolically reprimanded Zhang Long: "Remember to report something in the future!"
When Zhang Long heard my words, he couldn't help but lower his head, and the other brothers also took the opportunity to complain a few words about Zhang Long, saying that he hurt everyone who didn't sleep well, of course, everyone complained and complained, but they wouldn't really be angry, after all, they were all brothers, and they wouldn't care about this little thing, and it was a prank.
When the brothers jokingly buried Zhang Long, I suddenly shouted: "It's all gone, rest early!"
At my command, the brothers immediately received their orders and prepared to disperse.
But at this moment, the ponytail on the side suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
The ponytail was not loud, but it was very abrupt. When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but pause and looked at her, even me, who looked at the ponytail curiously, and asked, "What's wrong?"
The ponytail came to my side, she first looked at Zhang Long deeply, and then, she stretched out her hand, pointed at Zhang Long, and said to me seriously: "He has a problem!"
The four words, the ponytail said very powerfully, which shocked the audience, and everyone couldn't help but show surprise, and their eyes were full of inexplicability.
And I, I was even more shocked and unbelievable, I know the ponytail, she is not very old, but she is very steady, smart and wise, rigorous and serious, what she is not sure of, she will not talk nonsense, let alone accuse others for no reason.
However, this time, she pointed directly at Zhang Long and said that Zhang Long had a problem, which was too incredible to me. If I talk about others, I would choose to believe in ponytails, but Zhang Long is my old subordinate, I know him very well, he is very honest and loyal, and he is also very righteous, I doubt that no one will doubt him.
With a very inexplicable look, I stared at the ponytail in a daze, and said seriously: "What a problem!"
When I asked this, the loach couldn't help but say, "yes, what's the problem." Zhang Long is my brother, I know him best, don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence!"
Loaches are like this, they do their own thing, they say anything, but they don't have malicious intentions, they just simply believe in their brothers.
And Zhang Long, who was originally guilty because of his disappearance, was now pointed at by the ponytail, his eyes suddenly showed unwillingness, and he couldn't help but defend himself, he looked directly at the ponytail, and said very unhappily: "Why do you say that I have a problem!"
In the face of everyone's doubts, the ponytail was still calm, she stared at Zhang Long with blazing eyes, and then said sternly to everyone: "Don't you think it's strange? Through his actions, his demeanor, I'm sure he has been poisoned. In Blood Butterfly, there is a master of Gu, but if anyone falls for her Gu poison, this person's mind is basically controlled by her and used by her. This is the usual move of the Blood Butterfly, which is equivalent to planting a puppet inside the enemy, and when the time comes, they can use the puppet to do whatever they want. Many times, the blood butterfly is like this, without losing a single soldier and destroying a team of others!"
Ponytail words, said in an orderly manner, logical and sharp. Very convincing.
Yes, when she came to me today, she told me that she had looked up a lot of information about blood butterflies and had an in-depth understanding of blood butterflies. Moreover, the ponytail is the Tang family, and if she wants to check the blood butterfly, she can't see any top-secret information. She can swear to me that she knows blood butterflies better than me, and that she can help me, so it's definitely not empty words.
Moreover, the poisonous organization of Blood Butterfly is best at using yin tricks in secret, and the principle they pursue seems to be to minimize their own losses, and then destroy the enemy to the maximum.
The first time I saw the means of the Blood Butterfly was in the Xia Family Manor, Li Shuhaice rebelled against Steward Du. Steward Du set off a storm within the Hong Gang behind his back, and almost made the old man with white eyebrows and Xia Jiang kill each other. If it weren't for Xia Jiang's cleverness and seeing through Steward Du, the Hong Gang would really be broken, and when the time comes, the blood butterflies behind them will directly watch the snipe and clam fight, and they will reap the benefits of the fisherman. In other words, what they want is not to lose a single soldier or a general, and to bring down the Hong Gang.
Later, the Chu family and the Hong Gang joined forces to fight with me in Wolf Mountain, and the ghosts behind them were also blood butterflies, and they did not lose a single soldier, but in the end, I suffered heavy losses from the Loyalty and Righteousness League, the Hong Gang, and the Chu family.
Even the last time they ordered the massacre of my Loyalty Alliance headquarters, they didn't directly deal with us, but threatened me first, and let me take the initiative to arrest me, and at that time, Poison Rose also said that the Black Widow, the leader of the blood butterfly, hoped to take me away without losing her own troops.
All kinds of these kinds are enough to show that no matter what the blood butterfly wants to achieve, it is based on the premise of minimal loss. Therefore, what Ponytail said just now does make sense, even if their Blood Butterfly looks down on my Loyalty Alliance again, but knowing that I am going to attack their headquarters, they will also worry about their losses, so they think of intercepting us halfway, and using this way of tricking, so that they can not lose their troops.
Involuntarily, I began to believe the ponytail's words, and many of the other brothers present believed in the ponytail.
Seeing that everyone fell to the side of the ponytail, Zhang Long finally stopped being confident, he seemed to have become a little flustered, and shouted directly to the ponytail: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have anything." I'm sleepy, go to sleep!"
So saying, he took a step, wanting to leave.
Anyway, Zhang Long is my brother, even if I doubt him, it's not good to target him, in case the truth is not what Ponytail said, then there is no trust between brothers, so even if I believe in Ponytail, it's not easy to be Zhang Long directly.
But, just when I was a little hesitant, Grandpa Han suddenly moved, and he jumped to Zhang Long's side at lightning speed and grabbed Zhang Long's wrist.
After a while, Grandpa Han said loudly: "He was indeed poisoned!"
Grandpa Han's words completely verified the ponytail's statement. When I heard this, I immediately ordered: "Arrest Zhang Long!"
When my words fell, the brothers immediately subdued Zhang Long.
As soon as Zhang Long was caught, the whole person became a little violent, his face was pale, he couldn't help but blush, he shouted at the top of his voice, let him go.
If there is no evidence, I will not do this to him, but Grandpa Han's medical skills are the clearest evidence, since Grandpa Han found out that he was poisoned, it is absolutely not wrong. Therefore, I don't need to show mercy anymore, when Zhang Long struggled and shouted, I quickly reached out and groped his body. From his pocket, I found two small bottles of things, as for what was inside, I didn't know, I directly handed the bottles to Grandpa Han.
Grandpa Han glanced at it, then put it under his nose and sniffed it, and then he said in a deep voice: "It's poison, it seems that the blood butterfly has been eyeing us and wants to kill us all!"
Sure enough, the Blood Butterfly engaged in this trick, they turned Zhang Long into a puppet, and then let Zhang Long take advantage of the opportunity to secretly poison us, so that no matter how strong our troops are, they will be wiped out. Blood Butterfly, they just want to destroy us completely without spending any troops. Luckily, the keen ponytail saw through their ruse, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The brothers in the field, seeing this scene, also knew everything. They couldn't help but be annoyed by the viciousness of the blood butterfly, and at the same time, they also admired the intelligence of the ponytail, and couldn't help but praise her.
And I, just stood quietly in place, paused for a long time, and then I asked Grandpa Han with a heavy face: "Grandpa Han, can you solve Zhang Long's Gu poison?"
Grandpa Han didn't hesitate, and said directly: "Okay, let someone bring him to my tent!"
After that, Grandpa Han took the lead in getting into his tent, and I hurriedly asked someone to send Zhang Long over.
After Grandpa Han and the others left, the brothers asked me in some fright, "Alliance leader, what should we do now?"
For this accident, I am also a little at a loss, just like the ponytail said, I don't know anything about the blood butterfly, this Gu poison, I have heard rumors, I have never seen it, this suddenly encountered Gu poison in my own people, I really don't know how to deal with the next crisis. Unconsciously, I set my sights on the ponytail.
At this time, the ponytail was still calm and indifferent, not panicked at all, she touched my gaze, and immediately understood what I meant, and then, she took the initiative to speak: "Don't worry, since the people of the Blood Butterfly are engaged in such shady methods and want to use poison to destroy us, it proves that there are not many people who come this time, and it is not enough to confront us head-on." However, it is not possible to ensure that they use this dark trick again, so everyone must be on full alert, and at least in groups of two, do not separate, even if you go to the toilet at night, you must call your companion, do not act alone, as soon as there is a situation, immediately shout loudly, if there is anything abnormal in your companion, you must report it immediately, so that you can not give the blood butterfly a chance to go down!"
At this moment, the ponytail lost the slightest bit of sickness, and what filled her body was dazzling brilliance, and she seemed to have become a female military teacher, wise and calm, swallowing mountains and rivers. Taking her with her really helped me. I didn't talk nonsense either, and directly ordered the brothers to do what the ponytail said.
The brothers naturally realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately went to carry it out.
I didn't walk away. Just waiting quietly outside Grandpa Han's tent, my expression was extremely serious, and my heart was full of worry.
Ponytail saw my worries, and took the initiative to come over to persuade me: "Wu Lai, it's okay, although this Gu poison is powerful, but the old divine doctor's medical skills are so skillful, it will definitely be cured!"
I shook my head slightly, and sighed: "I'm not worried that Grandpa Han's medical skills are not good, I think the blood butterfly is too terrible, we haven't walked half the way now, the blood butterfly can't hold back, and took the initiative to take action, if it weren't for you today, I don't know what the consequences would be." I can't imagine how I'm going to deal with it when I get to the Blood Butterfly Headquarters!"
These words are the truest voice in my heart. Before that, I also knew that the Blood Butterfly was terrifying, but I didn't expect that they would actually do this trick of intercepting and killing halfway, or use such a vicious way. They were so unexpected, I really can't guess what they think, and I don't know if when the time comes to walk into their lair, will they also walk into their deep trap like my father.
And ponytail, she is always calmer than me, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other, can not be defeated, I may be too ignorant of the blood butterfly, so I am full of fear of the unknown, but the ponytail said that she knows the blood butterfly better than me, which must have increased her confidence, and she also felt that the other party was not so terrible. When she heard my words, her expression couldn't help but become more determined, and she said to me, "It's okay. As long as we pay more attention, so that the blood butterflies can't find a breakthrough, we may not be able to deal with them, anyway, I will do my best to help you!"
I turned my head and looked at the ponytail.
The bright moonlight sprinkled lightly on her body, making her thin body reflect a layer of white light, and her face, smooth and fair, reflected with the moonlight, which looked more moving. I looked at her stupidly and couldn't help but say, "Thank you!"
Ponytail smiled, but she didn't speak again, she just raised her head slightly and looked at the bright moon in the sky.
Time flew by, and suddenly, Xiaofang walked out of Grandpa Han's tent and said to me, "Big brother." Grandpa told you to come in!"
I hurriedly got into Grandpa Han's tent and found that Zhang Long had quieted down, but he looked a little tired, and he was still a little dazed, not knowing what was going on.
When Grandpa Han saw me coming in, he immediately explained: "The Gu poison has been forced out, there is nothing wrong with the person, you can take him back to rest!"
Regarding the matter of Gu poison, Grandpa Han didn't explain much, and I didn't ask much, after all, I didn't understand either, I just sincerely thanked Grandpa Han. With Grandpa Han here on this trip, there is not only one more top master, but also one more peerless miracle doctor, so that we will not be helpless in the face of the poison of the blood butterfly, as long as it is poisonous. I believe that it will not be difficult for Grandpa Han.
After saying goodbye to Grandpa Han, I helped Zhang Long out, and the ponytail outside the tent saw this and came over to ask about the situation. I told Ponytail that the person was fine, and then I summoned the top brass of the Loyalty League and asked Zhang Long to explain what had happened in front of his brothers.
Zhang Long immediately said to us: "I just went to get a tuba, but I was knocked unconscious, and the things after that were blurred and I can't remember clearly!"
In the Zhongyi League, Zhang Long can also be regarded as a master, and anyone of his level can be taken away inexplicably, which makes the brothers take this matter seriously, needless to say, they know that they should be more cautious next. Absolutely not to be sloppy.
And Zhang Long, when he heard us talk about him being tricked, the whole person was frightened, and he kept apologizing to us, saying that he didn't know anything.
I didn't blame him too much, I just told him to rest well and be more careful in the future.
After Zhang Long was properly arranged, the time was more than one o'clock in the morning, and I directly instructed the high-level brothers to arrange their personnel reasonably, take shifts to sentry, rest well when they should rest, and patrol when they should patrol, and they must be cautious and cautious.
The brothers understood it and immediately went to do it.
I went back to my little tent and slept again.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I felt that I was being watched by someone, and I felt like I was sleeping in a tiger's den, which was very uneasy. I was always nervously aware that there seemed to be people around.
For an hour, I got up several times in a row to check the situation around me, but I found that I was too worried.
At about three o'clock in the morning, I finally fell asleep, and suddenly, my tent snapped and shook.
This slightest movement woke me up suddenly, as if someone had thrown something at my tent, and then I fell asleep and immediately got up and walked out of the tent.
Walking outside, I asked my brother who was patrolling, "Is there any situation?"
The patrol brother shook his head and said, "No!"
But. At the moment when the brother's words fell, the tall patrol officer beside him suddenly shouted: "Who is it!"
I followed his gaze, looked at the grove on the right, and asked, "What's going on?"
The tall patrolman blamed the grove and said cautiously: "Alliance leader, I just saw a figure running over there, I don't know if it's me dazzled, or I'll take someone to take a look!"
I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "No need, you continue to patrol, as long as there is no enemy to attack, don't take the initiative to leave our safe range!"
Whatever the reason for this movement, I could not let my brothers act rashly, and it would not be good if they broke away from the main army and were attacked again, so I did not let them look for them.
And myself, completely sleepless, threw myself directly into the patrol work, especially the grove that the tall patrolman had pointed out just now, and my eyes were like a detector, constantly scanning the place.
After my repeated observations, I finally realized that there was a figure, faintly hidden in the grove, and even, I had a feeling that the other party was waving to me, if it wasn't for the situation, I would definitely not be able to resist the impulse to pass. However, now is a critical period, and I can't easily fall for the blood butterfly, and I can't take risks alone.
However, after I stared at the figure carefully, I actually felt a familiar taste, and this familiarity made my heart pound, and I couldn't help but have a desire to go over and find out.
After hesitating for a moment, I finally took a step and walked towards the grove in front of me.
The brothers on patrol wanted to follow, so I stopped them, told them to continue patrolling, and told them that if something happened, I would send a signal by yelling.
Then I continued to walk towards the grove alone.
In fact, after practicing Zhongyi Fist, I am already very confident in my own strength, and I am very sure that there are not many masters in the blood butterfly who can beat me. So, I don't need anyone to follow. But in order to prevent the blood butterfly from using any tricks, I was very cautious all the way. The whole person was on high alert and walked quietly.
The moonlight shined through the leaves and faintly sprinkled in the grove, and I took advantage of this glimmer of moonlight, step by step, and walked forward cautiously.
At this moment, everything was silent, there was no sound of insects and birds, and in the whole woods, there seemed to be only the sound of my footsteps stepping on leaves, and the very strange sound of the wind.
When I walked a short distance in the grove, I found that the figure had long disappeared, I didn't dare to go any further, so I stood up and shouted: "What kind of person, don't be sneaky, show up if you have a kind!"
As soon as I finished speaking, suddenly. Behind a big tree, a dark shadow sprang out, and hurriedly ran forward.
Looking closely, I felt more and more that this figure was very familiar, so I immediately followed closely and shouted, "Stop!"
The shadow really stopped after running for a while, with his back to me.
This black shadow is not tall or strong, but the black robe makes her full of mystery and looks very treacherous.
I was afraid that she was a decoy, so I didn't dare to go up and get her, but cautiously approached her slowly, walking a certain distance behind her. I stopped, and then, I yelled at her back and uttered three dignified words: "Who are you?"
Hearing my voice, the other party did not open her mouth to respond, but her figure turned slightly, and when she faced me, I could see her face clearly through the moonlight.
Suddenly, my heart twitched twice, my body was petrified in an instant, and surprise filled my eyes, leaving me dumbfounded, because she was none other than my sister who grew up with me since childhood, Lin Duoduo!
