Li Qing sighed softly: "Xie Yuyan can please move Tashi's father, she really has the ability." ”

"I don't know exactly what the situation is, but Daddy Tashi seems to be quite respectful to that Miss Xie. Deng Shi said in a low voice, "Xie Yuyan said that Tashi's father is a native of Longxi, and he often roamed the border between the two countries when he was young, so he is very familiar with the situation in this area. She suggested that we follow Daddy Tashi, take advantage of the flood season to bypass the Shillong army's defense area, and turn to the lion's mouth side to find you. ”

"It's a suggestion, it's not much different from an order. Master Deng shook his head helplessly, "But I think she is reasonable, at least it works better than Lao Qian's method, so I agreed without hesitation." Daddy Tashi is really familiar with this side, and he even expected that you would be trapped here by the floodwaters. We arrived when it was dark, but we didn't know what was going on on the shore, so we kept going around the neighborhood, intending to see the situation after dawn before deciding whether to dock, but I didn't expect you to find it first. ”

Li Qing put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said with a light smile: "Fortunately, you came in time, if I arrived a day or two late, it is estimated that I would be wiped out by the Xilong army." ”

After Deng Shi's explanation, Li Qing understood the whole thing, but the only thing that made him puzzled was that there seemed to be a rather strange relationship between Xie Yuyan and Tashi's father. After all, in Li Qing's past memories, these two people didn't know each other at all.

Even if Xie Yuyan tossed around the Hakka village in order to find the ancient building of the town domain, and traded news with Tashi's father, he didn't have the ability to invite this elderly man to a place like Xilong to take risks.

Li Qing seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head and asked, "By the way, do you see the colorful clouds?"

Deng Shi shook his head: "I didn't see it, I was in a hurry when I came, and I didn't bother to ask." ”

"Hmm. Li Qing put down the dishes and chopsticks, "I'm full, go out and have a look." ”

"I'll go out too. Deng Shi grinned at Gu Yue, "You are injured, rest well." ”

Gu Yue snorted sullenly, drank up the white flour porridge in the bowl, and slowly lay down.

Li Qing also put on a robe at the mouth of the canopy and walked to the bow of the boat with Deng Shi.

"The water is getting faster and faster. Wen Yang, who was squatting there, suddenly said something without a head.

Li Qing's face changed: "We should be swimming against the current now, right?"

Deng Shi nodded: "Well, if you look at it from a geographical point of view, you are about to approach the Yao River." ”

"It's easy for you to go downstream, but now that there is such a big flood, how can you go back?"

Waving his hand, Deng Shi stretched out his hand and pointed to Tashi's father at the stern of the boat: "Daddy said that he knows a path that is not completely submerged, and after dawn, we will abandon the boat and go ashore and walk back." ”

"Oh. Li Qing responded, finally relieved. He stood at the bow of the boat for a moment, then returned to the canopy to look at Gu Yue, and after a few words, turned to the stern.

"Daddy, I'm really bothering you this time. Li Qing greeted with a smile.

"Hmm. Father Tashi answered, and his tone didn't seem very happy, which made Li Qing stand there a little embarrassed.

The rain slapped against the clumsy body, and a cold wind blew, and Daddy Tashi couldn't stop coughing, and his body was sluggish.

Li Qing stood for a while, and said sincerely: "You are so old, and you are still bothered to make this trip, I am really sorry." ”

Tashi's father only cared about rowing and supporting the boat, and ignored Li Qing. The latter stood at the stern of the boat for a while, feeling that it was superfluous to stay any longer, and was about to turn to leave, when Tashi's father suddenly spoke.

"If you really have this heart, then beg that woman for me and let go of the clouds. ”

"Huh?" Li Qing's body stiffened and turned around suddenly, "What's wrong with Caiyun?"

After a moment of silence, Tashi's father continued to speak: "She brought Caiyun into the mountain and helped her find the fairy tower. That's damned, cough, cough, cough... My son died on this, and now even my granddaughter will be killed?"

"I see. Li Qing nodded, "Don't worry, I will deal with this matter." ”

"Hmm. Daddy Tashi replied in a deep voice and said nothing.

The current was getting faster and faster, and the boat was almost impossible, and at this time, a piece of land miraculously appeared in front of Li Qing.

"Shall we go from here?" Li Qing couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm. Father Tashi replied sullenly again, and he dropped the anchor and fixed the boat to the shore.

"It's too dangerous, you have to wait for dawn. Throwing down such a sentence, Tashi's father squatted down at the stern of the boat, took out a cigarette pot and lit it, and began to smoke, ignoring Li Qing again.

It was quite a long night, but for Li Qing at this time, he was not bored at all. Such a rainy night is much better than those thrilling days before.

"Several of them in the deputy team were taken back to the Four Seasons Inn by Lao Qian, and now only Zhong Ruoxi is alone in the Third Military Region Hospital in Longxi. Deng Shi said casually, "After all, we have different identities from others, and everyone is very worried that if we get too close to the Longxi Army, we will cause trouble." ”

"Hmm. Li Qing nodded, he completely agreed with this idea.

Raising his hand and patting Wen Yang's shoulder, Li Qing asked with a smile: "Have you ever thought about what you plan to do after finishing your current business?"

Wen Yang blinked: "Big brother, our team... It's just scattered?"

"All of them are injured like this, what do you think?" Li Qing asked with a smile, "After this incident, everyone's mental strength has almost been boiled dry, so let's stop it." ”

"Then I'll just go around, that's how I came when our first team first disbanded. Wen Yang said softly, "Or if I go back to Yanjing, it's not bad to go to Sister Hua." Although I want to follow you more, big brother shouldn't need me now, right?"

Li Qing shook his head with a smile and patted Wen Yang's head gently: "If you want to stay by my side, of course I will welcome it." But you are an adult, and you are no longer the child you used to be, you should find something you like. ”

"That's it. Deng Shi squeezed his eyes at Wen Yang, "We are handsome, what's the point of following the captain all the time, you have to learn from Qin Wuchao, you have nothing to do to play with money, bubble girl." ”

"Cut. Wen Yang pursed his lips disdainfully, "Vulgar." ”

Deng Shi smiled, and suddenly changed his words: "You killed Bagudi?"

Li Qing responded, lowered his head and stared at the water droplets rolling off the cloak: "There shouldn't be any doubts about this." ”

Yang Xun probably won't be too happy, he has always planned to do it himself. ”

"Then he won't have a chance this time. Li Qing untied the dagger from his waist and handed it to Master Deng, "There are some things you can say, which are more suitable than me." ”

Taking the dagger in his hand, Master Deng checked it, gently pulled it out and stared at the blood stains on it: "This is..."

"The dagger that killed Bagudi, Yang Xun may be interested and leave a souvenir. Li Qing replied lightly and slowly stood up, "I'm too tired, go in and rest." ”

Staring at Li Qing's back, Master Deng nodded slightly, put away the dagger, and turned his head to look at Wen Yang: "Listen to me, don't follow the captain anymore." ”

"Why?" Wen Yang had a look of dissatisfaction on his face, "The eldest brother just said that if I stay with him, he will be quite welcome." ”

"The ends of the world are also brothers. It's not easy for us to accompany him here. Master Deng sighed softly, "The captain is too tired, let him rest." ”

Wen Yang didn't understand what Master Deng meant, but he seemed to feel that there was some truth in the latter's words. Turning his head, he stared at the dark night outside the ship, and was speechless for a long time.

At dawn, several people carried the necessary things and abandoned the ship to go ashore.

Deng Shi scuttled the boat with an axe, causing it to sink into the water, and then led by Tashi's father, several people broke into the primeval forest again.

Daddy Tashi was right, the mountain road was indeed dangerous. On rainy days, the road was slippery, and a few people walked on a narrow mountain road that only allowed one person to pass, and there was an abyss on their side. If such a steep road is placed in the dark, even Li Qing cannot guarantee that he will be able to pass safely.

But it was precisely because walking on this mountain road was so dangerous that he was able to quietly pass through the defense area of the Seventh Infantry Brigade and return to Longxi without the Xilong army noticing.

Overall, the journey was a thrilling one. After walking for a whole day, it was getting dark and approaching the sand ping.

At four o'clock in the morning of the next day, the five people finally crossed the Guluo River and set foot on the land of the Chinese Empire.

Standing on the east bank of the turbulent Guluo River, Li Qing looked back at the vast mountains and forests of the Xilong Kingdom opposite, recalling all kinds of encounters in the past month, and really felt like a world away.

"Finally back. Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but his mood did not relax. Shi Yinghui, Ji Wenbin, and all the victims of this assassination incident were like stones, weighing heavily on Li Qing's heart.

Considering their special status, Li Qing and the others did not alarm the Longxi garrison stationed on the bank of the Guluo River, and secretly bypassed along a small road, and finally joined Qian Liming, who had already led people to wait there.

When Qian Liming saw Li Qing coming back, he burst into tears on the spot, hugged Li Qing and wiped his snot and tears all over him.

After all, Tashi's father was old, and he traveled a long way, and on the night he returned to Longxi, he had a serious illness and a high fever that did not go away. Deng Shi gave him a fever-reducing injection, then carried him into the car, and everyone returned to the Acropolis.

At more than ten o'clock in the morning, Li Qing stepped into the door of the Four Seasons Inn and met the brothers of the same team. reunited after a bumpy road, and everyone was quite embarrassed.
