Su Qing has been behaving as usual these days, and finally arrived near the Northern Zhou City, where there are some prosperous towns.

Xiao Jingchen asked the team to stop at the post station to rest, and offered to take Su Qing into the city to go shopping and buy something by the way.

They arrived in the afternoon, and after a short walk outside, they heard a strange trumpet.

The vendors on the side of the road all closed their stalls and went home in a panic as if they had heard some order.

The street, which was still bustling and lively just now, was deserted for a moment, leaving only a few pedestrians hurrying home.

"What's going on? It's not dark yet, why are they so fast?"

Su Qing saw some people selling rare medicinal herbs on the side of the road and wanted to see what they were, but the boss disappeared with a swish.

"Did you hear any strange sounds just now?" Xiao Jingchen stood beside Su Qing, they were all dressed in civilian clothes and walking on the street would not be too conspicuous.

Su Qing nodded: "Someone is playing a trumpet." ”

At this time, a big brother with weak legs and feet hurried by the side with a cane, and it could be seen that he was very flustered.

Su Qing and Xiao Jingchen glanced at each other and chased after each other: "This big brother, it's still so early, why don't you set up a stall?"

The eldest brother stopped and looked back at them, even seeing that they were in a hurry, and then continued to walk forward.

"You guys are outsiders, don't you? You don't know, a group of mountain bandits have come from this mountain recently, and they come to us every night to search for it, and if they get caught and die if they go back late!"

Seeing the appearance of the eldest brother hurrying away, Su Qing didn't want to bother anymore and looked back at Xiao Jingchen.

Sure enough, his face immediately became gloomy, and there were still people in his jurisdiction who dared to do evil!

"Lord Wang, I'll send someone to check immediately. Xiao Jue on the side reacted quickly, and immediately sent a few shadow guards out.

"In that case, we might as well find a place to rest tonight and see how these mountain bandits are doing evil. ”

Su Qing nodded without hesitation and agreed, this group of mountain bandits fell into the hands of Xiao Jingchen, and they must spit out all the oil and water they looted from the people.

Because of their clothes, many inns did not dare to take them in, for fear that they were mountain bandits pretending, and finally Xiao refused to take out a token.

The shopkeeper took a look at it and immediately invited them upstairs: "This is the best room we have here, I will ask them to bring some food and hot water at once, please wait a moment." ”

"Xiao Jue, didn't you say don't show your identity at will?" Xiao Jingchen frowned helplessly.

Xiao Jue put the token away: "If we don't reveal our identity, I'm afraid these inns won't let us live in, don't worry, I will warn them not to leak out." ”

In the past, they were all raided by bad guys, but this time they settled down in advance and waited for the bad guys to appear, Su Qing was a little excited.

It's a pity that I didn't bring itchy powder when I came out this time, and it's too late to do it now, otherwise I must let those mountain bandits have a good memory.

"I'll take someone out to see later, and don't go anywhere if you stay here, and don't let anyone in. ”

Xiao Jingchen walked to Su Qing's side, there was a little worry in his eyes, Su Qing glanced at him: "You don't plan to take me with you?"

"It's too dangerous, you better stay here so that I won't be distracted. Xiao Jingchen pursed his lips, he didn't want Su Qing to be in danger.

"But I want to go with you. Su Qing looked into his eyes, and along the way, she became more and more aware of Xiao Jingchen's carefulness.

Before Xiao Jingchen could say anything, Su Qing continued: "Not only do I want to be with you this time, but I also want to go to the battlefield with you next time!"

Her tone and expression did not look like a joke, Xiao Jingchen was slightly stunned, staring at the woman with a white face in front of her.

His face was very serious, as if to make Su Qing feel afraid of retreating.

"Lord Wang, I ......" Su Qing was about to tell him that she was not impulsive, but really wanted to fight side by side with him.

But before the words could be spoken, he was suddenly hugged tightly into his arms, so tight that she was a little out of breath.

She could even feel the rise and fall of Xiao Jingchen's chest, as if she wanted to melt her into her body between breathing and breathing.

"No one has ever said anything like that to me. ”

Su Qing vaguely thought that he had misheard, there were so many people who went to the battlefield side by side with Xiao Jingchen, such as Xiao Jue, how could no one have said it?

"The soldiers of the guards around me have been aware of their mission from the moment they followed me. ”

"I never asked them if they would go into battle with me willingly, I always allowed myself to use them as a weapon......"

Until Su Qing appeared, there was no relationship between them that anyone had to obey anyone, but she always seemed to be silently helping him behind his back.

It might have been best for her to find a way to leave him in order to survive, but she didn't.

It was getting dark, and the shadow guards who had been sent out before came back to report to them the old nest of the mountain bandits.

Su Qing put the previously customized crossbow on her wrist, and the needles contained in it were all quenched in advance, and she gave Xiao Jingchen and Xiao Jue some of them.

Xiao Jingchen didn't have many people to come out this time, so he left some of them to stay in the city, and the other part followed him to the lair of the mountain bandits.

The road in the mountains was more difficult than imagined, and Su Qing followed Xiao Jingchen closely, looking around from time to time.

It would be easy to surround them if someone had laid a trap here at this time, and although she trusted the strength of these guards, it was inevitable that there would be casualties.

Suddenly, Xiao Jingchen made a gesture, and everyone stopped and held their breath.

It was as if the wind was blowing through the branches of the trees, and fighting in the mountains they were at a disadvantage and could only be more careful.

Su Qing could already see a sparkling fire in a mountain col not far away, which should be the camp of the mountain bandits.

These people didn't seem to notice that a team was really approaching them, and when they got closer, Su Qing could even hear some people drinking with a trumpet, and the smell of wine wafted to them.

The camp isn't huge, but it has everything, and even a dedicated patrolling subordinate.

At a certain distance, Su Qing saw Xiao Jingchen gesturing a few gestures to the guards behind him, and they lurked silently, like wolves submerged in the forest.

Su Qing thought that if she was surrounded, she would not be able to help but feel a chill in her back at this moment.

"Come with me. Xiao Jingchen grabbed her wrist, her eyes flashing in the dark night.

They found a temporary safe hiding place, but the space was not large enough, and the two had to be close together, and the fragrance on Su Qing's body penetrated into Xiao Jingchen's nose.

He lowered his head and saw Su Qing looking intently in the direction of the camp.

"Don't be too nervous, you can only wait for them to let their guard down, and then you can catch them all. ”
