Luo Kong gasped, took three steps and made two steps, and finally returned to his lodgings before dawn.

"Everyone's still sleeping...... Luo Kong muttered.

He crept to his door and cautiously pushed it open, lest he make a move.

Luo Kong walked in and carefully closed the door.

He lit the fat lamp on the table and got ready for a good night's sleep.

Suddenly, Luo Kong stayed where he was.

I saw Li Qingyi sitting on the chair in front of the bed, sleeping soundly.

Luo Kong didn't know what to do for a while.

He simply moved a chair and quietly looked at Li Qingyi opposite.

The dim light emitted by the oil lamp did not hide her beauty, but seemed to cast a veil of mystery on her beautiful face, Li Qingyi was so beautiful at such a young age, and she must be a peerless beauty when she grows up.

Luo Kong gradually looked stunned, and he couldn't even feel the fatigue in his body.

Luo Kong came back to his senses, and a blush appeared on his face.

"Mother said that you should not think about it before you are eighteen. Luo Kong reminded himself in his heart.

In fact, even if Luo Kong was really thinking about this kind of thing, he wouldn't do anything.

He knows that he is a person who has to leave sooner or later, so he tries not to contact others in normal times, and he does not want to bring disaster to others.

Seeing Li Qingyi sleeping so peacefully, Luo Kong couldn't bear to disturb him, he took the quilt from the bed and covered Li Qingyi's body.

I was ready to sit in a chair and fall asleep.

Li Qingyi slowly opened his eyes, in fact, he woke up when Luo Kong just entered the door, but he still pretended to be asleep for the sake of face.

But now that Luo Kong wants to sleep, she has to "wake up".

"Sora-san, I think it's necessary for you to explain how the wound on your body came about. Li Qingyi's cheeks bulged, making people feel the urge to pinch it.

Luo Kong smiled awkwardly and said, "I went out to the toilet just now, and I accidentally fell down, and as a result, there were more injuries on my body. I'm sorry to tell you. ”。

Li Qingyi just wanted to blame Luo Kong, but after thinking about it, he had no reason to do so.

She wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said, "It's dangerous outside, don't go out so late." ”。

She took out the medicine box from the cupboard, treated Luo Kong's wounds, and turned to leave.

Luo Kong looked at Li Qingyi's back with an apologetic expression, and the words of apology were still left in his mouth.

Luo Kong lay on the bed and slept until the afternoon with apologies.

The first thing Luo Kong did when he woke up was to go to Ma Qing and tell him what happened last night.

"You mean...... The army's knife technique is similar to that of the bandits we saw that night?".

Luo Kong nodded.

Ma Qing frowned, not knowing what he was thinking?

"Where are those soldiers you saw now?"

"They...... I killed them all. Luo Kong said hesitantly: "Uncle Ma, what's the matter, I won't get into trouble, right?"

Ma Qing breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Luo Kong happily, and said, "Fortunately, it's you, if the two boys of Barry and Roy don't know what will happen." ”。

He glanced around and said to Luo Kong, "Go back and pack your things, we'll leave now." ”。

Luo Kong was a little puzzled and said, "Why? I don't even know the name of this city." ”。

Ma Qing was a little depressed, and he said to Luo Kong: "If we don't leave, we will all die here, and we will talk about the specific things on the road." ”。

Luo Kong immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, and immediately stopped talking nonsense.

He hurriedly ran to Li Qingyi's room, told Li Qingyi roughly what happened, and went back to pack his things.

The whole mercenary group was called back by Ma Qing from all corners of the city, although they were unwilling, but because of Ma Qing's usual prestige, they still went to pack their things happily.

An hour later, all the members of the "Plain Wolf" mercenary group packed up their things and packed up all their things.

The mercenaries are usually people who lick blood on the head of the knife, and they know that they can't procrastinate too much, so they throw away all the miscellaneous things they bought, leaving only the necessities they need to travel.

This mercenary group of more than 300 people, without the drag of the caravan, truly showed its demeanor as a plain wolf.

Including Luo Kong and Li Qingyi, each of them was given two horses.

Each horse was hung with enough rations and drinking water for the man to return to Tianhua City, that is, everyone received a double ration.

Unless the team is wiped out, they will never be bothered by food and water.

The order to leave the city has also been completed, and they can all be pulled out as soon as Bajo gives the order.

This is the action that Ma Qing has made in this hour, and this is the execution of this plain wolf.

"Get out!!" Bajo shouted, and everyone was walking out of the city in the afterglow of the setting sun and the evening breeze of the prairie.

The sound of horses' hooves rolled, and the three-hundred-strong mercenary group disappeared on the horizon of the grassland with billowing dust and smoke.

Bajo looked back and saw that he could no longer see the city behind him.

"Anlu, cast the Crowd Wind Resistant!" Bajo exclaimed.

"Okay, Captain"

An Lu summoned his summoned beast, and a gust of wind blew across Luo Kong's face, and Luo Kong suddenly felt that the horse under his crotch was running faster.

The summoned beast of the man named An Lu is a wind elf, and this kind of wind elf summoner is generally used as a shooter or assassin, and there are really not many people like An Lu who use the wind elf as a support.

Ma Qingce walked in the front.

His voice appeared in the ears of Bajo, Rokon and others:

"Do you know why I asked all of you to pack up and leave Nakqin?"

No one answered Ma Qing's question.

Ma Qing continued: "Because Ah Kong discovered one thing, that is, the knife technique used by those bandits is exactly the same as the knife technique used by the grassland soldiers. It's not uncommon for the sword technique to be exactly the same, and there are also some in our mercenary group who know how to use the sword technique of the grassland soldiers, but they are the combat strength of the entire village will use the sword skills of the grassland soldiers, which is enough to attract our attention. ”。

There was still no one in the horse team who interjected, and they knew that Ma Qing still had something to say.

"Combined with the fact that there are two silver-level masters in that stockade, as well as a wolf cavalry of more than 300 people, and two gold-level masters, such a lineup is enough for them to occupy a small city, but why don't they go?"

Luo Kong pondered, "Ma Qing has a point, no matter which way you think about it, it is completely safer to establish a tribe and start a small city than to rob everywhere, and the income is not less than the original. But why didn't their leaders do it?".

Luo Kong had no way of knowing.

Ma Qing continued, "I have a conjecture that this group of people came here to block the road and rob not of their own will, but that someone just did it for them. ”。

Bajo thought for a moment, and finally said:

Indeed, if someone had instructed it, it would have all made sense. ”。

Ma Qing then said:

"Everything on the grassland respects the strong, and those who can command the gold-level powerhouses can still make them so obedient, and there are only a few people on the grassland, right?"

Of course, Luo Kong knew who the people they were talking about, but he couldn't figure out which of these people it would be.

"Could it be the Prairie King?". Roy was the first to ask, which was what Roku wanted to say.

Ma Qing shook his head firmly and said:

"No, it won't. ”。

"Why?".

"Because the Prairie King has no reason to do this, although the Prairie is barren, the Prairie King is not short of money. Every year, he exchanged herds of Marg cattle and Taal sheep for medicines, weapons, food, and wealth from caravans from three neighboring countries. ”。

When Luo Kong heard Ma Qing say this, he already knew a rough idea in his heart.

On the contrary, his royal brothers were too poor. You must know that the equipment of the Grassland Prince's Army is not a little different from the equipment of the Grassland King's Army, and the royal brothers of the Grassland King have already worked hard to maintain such a large army, where is the money to buy new equipment?"

Ma Qing cleared his throat and continued: "If this were to change in normal times, their territory would hardly be intruded, and they would not need to send troops to suppress any country, so they could barely break even. But if they were planning a big plan to change the grassland, they wouldn't have enough money. ”。

Ba Ho took Ma Qing's words and continued: "So they need a source of money, although it is a safe way to develop the tribal economy, but they have no time to develop the economy, and the king of the grassland will not make their tribe rich." So they need a hidden and dark way to make money. What could come faster than a robbery?".

"Not only that, but those princes are not stupid, they know that sooner or later they will be discovered, so they only have three ways to quickly accumulate wealth in this way. ”。

"Which three?"

"Pinch the head, remove the tail, cut the middle. The so-called pinching of the head is to stealthily plunder the passing caravan and not let go of a single living mouth, and the reason why we were not killed by the wolf in the first place is probably because the strength of the steppe wolf should not be underestimated. ”。

Bajo smiled.

Ma Qing continued: "To cut the middle is to deaf and blind all the ears and eyes of the Prairie King. Buy as much as you can buy, and let him disappear into this world if he can't. ”。

Luo Kong's heart felt a chill, it was born from the same root, why was it too anxious to fry each other.

"Tail removal is the most critical and important step, and that is to attack the Prairie King. ”。

"It's impossible, the Prairie King is still alive and well, besides, who has the ability to kill the Steppe King, a strong man with ten stars?" Barry shouted.

"Stinky boy, I'm relieved to hear you say this, my daughter won't be bullied when she arrives at your house. ”。

Barry muttered quietly, "I wouldn't have been bullied." ”。

Ma Qing laughed, and then said, "It doesn't have to be that the Prairie King dies now, or that the Prairie King can't die now." The Prairie King is only in his sixties, and in this world where gold-level summoners can live for more than 500 years, he is considered to be in the prime of life, if the Prairie King dies now, his children will suspect that the princes have done a good deed, which is not good. ”。

Ma Qing looked at the wild geese in the distance and said, "They may use some kind of chronic poison to weaken the strength of the Grassland King step by step, and reduce his vitality, and when it is time for him to die, they can kill him without blood." ”。

Li Qingyi looked at Ma Qing and said, "The Prairie King's guards are so tight, how can they succeed?"

"Even his own brothers will betray, let alone the guards who follow him? Ten thousand steps back, the guards of the Prairie King are all dead soldiers of the Prairie King, and they are only loyal to the Prairie King, and only obey the orders of the Prairie King, but what is the matter, who can not guarantee that his son, daughter, and princess will not kill him? At this point, the whole world must be on guard. ”。

"How come? I heard that the princess of the grassland and the king of the grassland are in deep love, and when the king of the grassland was weak, it was the princess of the grassland who accompanied the king of the grassland step by step to this position today. ”。

Ma Qing looked at Li Qingyi and said: "Xiaoqing, you are too simple, how can there be any couple in this world who have deep affection, the reason why the princess of the grassland can accompany the king of the grassland to lay down the entire grassland is because the tribe behind the princess of the grassland has pressed their lives on the king of the grassland." ”。

Ma Qing cleared his throat and continued: "However, over the years, the Prairie King has also begun to weaken the Tribal Strength of the Prairie Princess, and the people who have been moved by others are the craziest. I'm afraid that those princes say that they want to change the dynasty, and the princess of the steppe will be the first to stand up and help them. ”。

"The princess of the prairie is just a woman, how can she be so scheming?".

"Don't underestimate women, especially women who can be princesses, you know: sleeping with tigers, there are good beasts. ”。

"Oh my God, I don't believe in love anymore. ”。

"You do need to have a good snack, but love may still be there, and if you meet it, you must cherish it. ”。

When Luo Kong heard this, he couldn't help but have infinite admiration for Ma Qingsheng in his heart. Just a few clues can judge so many things, this Ma Qing is not simple.

But at the same time, Luo Kong also began to have infinite reverie about the future of this beautiful grassland.

The situation of the grassland will change in the future, but Luo Kong does not think that the king of the grassland will sit back and wait for death as Ma Qing said, and the man who can be the king is more terrible than the woman who can be the princess. After all: although the beast sleeps with the tiger, it still needs to put away its fangs and fear the tiger for three points.

No matter how the situation changes in the future, as long as the grassland king is not dead, the grassland will still be the grassland king's, and he will be like a needle that fixes the sea, controlling the entire grassland to the death.

As the sun set, Luo Kong and the others gradually disappeared on the horizon.

Three days later, Luo Kong and the others galloped on the grassland, resting for only three hours a day, and almost spent the rest of the time on the road.

Luo Kong: They have already passed through the stockade of the bandits they saw before, and the difference from before is that now they are all empty. Ma Qing and Luo Kong went in to reconnoiter again, and found that the situation was basically the same as what Ma Qing said.

Now that Ma Qing has no luck, they have offended one or several of the largest tribes on the grassland, and I am afraid that they will not be able to come back until the grassland has a new king.

Another day passed.

Ma Qing took the map and looked after the surrounding terrain.

"A hundred miles ahead, it is Yanhua Pass, we have to work harder, rush through the checkpoint and rest. ”。

Bajo nodded, smiled and patted Ma Qing on the shoulder:

"Old man, you can do it, I listen to you. I'm really relieved to have you as a partner. ”。

Ma Qing slapped Ba Huo's hand away and said, "It's so nice, why don't you give me the position of head of the regiment." ”。

"This is not good, this is my son's position, you are not allowed to rob it. ”。

Ma Qing laughed and hit Bajo, and the members of the group followed behind him.

Yanhua Pass is the gateway to the northern end of Tianhua Kingdom, from Tianhua Country to the west, hooking up with the White Tiger Empire, one of the four major empires. To the north, you can enter the depths of the steppe without hindrance, and reach the tribe of the steppe king. To the east is the largest port in the Kingdom of Tianhua, which communicates with the only island nation among the Seven Kingdoms.

Yanhua Pass is a wall that stretches for thousands of miles, sheltering all areas in the northern part of Tianhua.

There are 200,000 Yanhua troops in Yanhua Pass, which are used to reject the grassland in the north.

Therefore, it is not an empty word that you will be safe when you enter Yanhua Pass.

Luo Kong and the others are non-stop, as long as they enter Tianhua Kingdom, everything will be easy to do.

The team kicked up a puff of grass clippings and disappeared into the horizon with the sound of rumbling hooves.

On the clouds, a golden-winged albatross was hovering high in the air behind Luo Kong and the others, and there was a person standing on the back of the albatross.

The man was dressed in white, but he had a lewd face.

I saw him take out a piece of jade slip from his arms, and said to the piece of jade slip:

"The goal is still a hundred miles to enter Yanhua Pass, and we have to act. ”。

"Please submit a detailed strength assessment. ”。

"On the opposite side, there is a gold grade, a silver grade, and more than three hundred bronze black iron grades. ”。

Then another voice rang out: "This...... It's a bit of a sticky idea, we only have three gold levels, I'm afraid it's not enough to fight them. ”。

"Are you stupid, the Ninth Prince just asked us to make some trouble for that kid, and if we have the chance, tie that kid back. It's not for us to destroy this mercenary group. ”。

"Makes sense"

"Talking to your pig teammates, it really is. ”。

There was a hearty laugh from the jade slip.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, get ready. ”。

......

Luo Kong looked up at the sky, he didn't know why, he always felt that something was going to happen today.

"What's wrong?".

Li Qingyi rode his horse close to Luo Kong.

"Nothing. ”。

Luo Kong didn't express his instincts because he didn't feel necessary.
