Chapter Twenty-Three: The Augustine of Unrequited Love
"Well done!" a cold voice sounded from behind Fu Manchu
"It's all taught by the master on the second floor. Fu Manchu turned around, his tall body bent slightly, and replied to Zhou Gongjin in front of him.
Zhou Gongjin stood on the edge of the cliff, with a cliff at his feet, his hands on his back, his eyes were shining, full of stars, a shirt swaying with the wind, and there was a trace of undetectable sadness on his delicate face.
"Let's stand down first, if anyone shows up again in the next few days, don't act recklessly. ”
"Yes!"
Fu Manchu bowed his head in agreement, and took his servants to clean up the debris in front of him before slowly leaving.
Zhou Gongjin looked at Boone not far away, and the corners of his mouth outlined a trace of melancholy.
'It's close, but it's far away. ’
A folding fan was lightly unfurled, and Zhou Gongjin did not look back, but he knew that it was Shen Zhongrong.
"Please also ask the lord on the second floor not to delay the lord's plan because of personal feelings. ”
Shen Zhongrong's honest voice has always been very unique, but today it is a little indescribably dignified, since he came to Boone, from Xing Daorong's chatter, he has already understood the beginning and end of the matter.
"I've got my own thoughts, don't touch her!"
Zhou Gongjin frowned, the dialogue between smart people and smart people doesn't need too many words.
Shen Zhongrong's tone remained unchanged, and the folding fan in his hand shook gently, "This is the first battle of Heavenly Court, and it is also the most important battle. Although Vic's face is not much, but how much is hidden inside, the intelligence is still lacking, and now the lord Chen has 300,000 soldiers in Dingjun Mountain, and wants to determine the world with a war, and I believe that the second floor master can distinguish the private feelings of the children and daughters. ”
"This is natural, a female stream will not affect me, let alone the great plan of the lord. ”
Zhou Gongjin still didn't look back, his eyes closed.
"In this case, please forgive the officials. ”
Shen Zhongrong clasped his hands into fists and left.

Barracks in the middle of the night
"Lord Marquis, the man who was sent out to investigate, has returned. ”
Baron Brand walked to the camp dedicated to Marquis Bird.
"How?"
Bird put down the quill pen in his hand, rubbed his swollen eyes, and whispered.
Brand was silent for a while before he spoke.
"And one came back, and...... Crazy......"
"Crazy?"
Bird was a little surprised, he was actually ready for the annihilation of the army.
"Yes, Lord Marquis. ”
Brand kept his head down, his mind spinning around as he sorted out the information.
"What did he say?"
Bird looked up, his eyes slightly gloomy in the dim light.
After a long silence, Brand lowered his eyes, trying not to let the two of them look at each other, and at the same time summarized and combined the messy information in his mind little by little, forming a whole paragraph.
"The Orientals built a palace on the edge of a cliff, and there was a man-eating demon and many red-robed minions. ”
Hearing this, Bird seemed to be interested, touched his smooth chin, and whispered in a voice that he could only hear, "A blood from the East?"
Yes, apart from the vampires of the Blood Clan, who has survived for thousands of years, who else can easily accumulate such a large wealth, no matter what the result is, at least in the heart of this Marquis Bird, he has already confirmed his own thoughts.
"Do you want to send another team?"
Seeing that Bird was silent for a long time, Brand said.
"No, they chose to do it on their ground, and that's the sincerity of cooperation. ”
Seeing Brand's puzzled expression, Bird laughed loudly, but did not answer, then stood up and said, "Tomorrow, go and visit them." ”

Early the next morning
The town of Boone ushered in a new round of investigations, and the area with the most frequent investigations is still the mixed tent area.
The so-called tent area is the place where adventurers gather to live in order to wait for the opening of the canyon between the two peaks of Marfa and Daoling in the Duchy of Vik, and is built on the open space next to Boone.
After all, Boone is only so big, it can't accommodate so many people.
"It's a disappointment, it's here again, but it's just an adventurer. ”
A big man in black looked at the Vic soldier who was checking back and forth, and put down the wine glass in his hand.
"Then you don't look at who died, and even Augustine of the Sword Saint family didn't stop them. ”
The thin man beside the big man habitually handed the card representing his identity to the soldier and said.
"It's been seven days, damn assassin. ”
Dahan also handed the card into the hands of the Vic soldiers, and at the same time, under the cold eyes of Laura, he stopped talking.
When the group had checked that everything was correct, they turned and left, heading to the next tent.
Xia Tiya on the side happened to pass by with a basket of bread, it was not the first time she had seen this kind of thing, her good-looking eyebrows were raised, and she carefully avoided the obstacles on the road.
The soldiers who came and went obviously knew her, so they didn't ask her to show her so-called identity card.
Walking lightly through the tent area, and finally stepping onto the bluestone pavement of Boone Town, Shatia breathed a long sigh of relief, where the smell was like that of a sewer, and the stench was unpleasant.
"A bunch of stinky men!"
Xia Tiya muttered quietly, and couldn't help but think of Zhou Gongjin's elegant smile and the faint fragrance of flowers on her body, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but have a sweet smile.
Obviously, compared with the two, Zhou Gongjin won completely!
"Shatia, you're back. ”
As soon as she stepped through the door of the hotel, Shatia heard a familiar voice.
This is a recent guest, and I heard that it is the Augustine from the Juggernaut family.
Augustine stepped forward enthusiastically, ready to take the small basket in Shatia's hand, and said with a smile, "Leave this kind of thing to me in the future, it just so happens that I don't have much to do." ”
Shatia took two steps back, skillfully avoided Augustine, and said with a smile, "It's okay, you still have to patrol at night, I can do it myself." ”
Augustine's embarrassed hands were still in the air, and to be honest, he had been instructed by Morieldo to take care of Shatia at first, but since the first time he saw Shatia, he had fallen deeply in love with the blonde girl.
Love at a glance, there is no reason, Shatia's beauty, and the proper way of treating people, definitely meet the standards of his other half in his mind.
"And what are you going to eat today?"
Retracting his hands, Augustine grinned, and didn't seem to flinch because of the embarrassment of that moment, to be honest, this kind of similar thing, he has encountered an unknown number of times in a few days.
Shatiya is like an unattainable mirage in the desert, and there is always a distance between the two.
"White bread with vegetable soup. Shatia looked at her basket and added, "And fresh meatloaf." ”
