Chapter 55: Seeing the Sun
As soon as the voice fell, the shortness and clarity all showed the decisiveness and determination of the ground. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There were nearly fifty black-clad figures, they bent over their knees, their right hands behind their backs, and in their hands was a scimitar shining with silver light, the tip of the blade was like a little star, restrained and murderous.
Their obscene figures were like rats, and they looked very timid, although they had an advantage in numbers, they did not swarm directly towards Long Yanran's room.
Instead, it was divided into several groups, and several figures walked out of the inn and disappeared into the night, while the rest continued to lurk in the inn, staring upstairs with their eyes, waiting for an opportunity to move.
The changes and events downstairs are naturally not known to the people who are discussing it fiercely upstairs.
"I didn't think it at first, but since I came to this inn, I always felt like we were in a trap. Long Yanran's heart was uneven, and she always vaguely felt that something was going to happen.
"It's too coincidental that we came across this Tuoba Ruchen. Shen Tao also said his thoughts.
"Now think about it. Shen Dong said and glanced at Xuan Daofeng, "Although we were led by our senior brother, there was no sign of us all the way, how could we meet a person so coincidentally, or the prince of the desert." ā
Suddenly, the atmosphere became a little unspeakably tense, and the doubts of several people were not refuted, and Xuan Daofeng was not as eager to stand up and refute as they imagined.
Instead, he said in a flat tone, "At the beginning, I met Tuoba Ruchen and met, and then because the conversation was more compatible, plus the age problem, the two of us were called brothers, and then I also went to the desert country for a while, but..."
Xuan Daofeng changed his words as he spoke, causing the four of them to concentrate even more, "After all, it has been many years since that meeting, and now I don't dare to say 100% that he will not change." ā
As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black, although a person is pure and good by nature, but no one can guarantee that with the passage of time, the people he comes into contact with, the things he sees, and the surrounding environment will not affect a person's heart.
Because this kind of example is very common, at the beginning, you can still stick to your heart, know what you should do, how to control your desires.
However, with the change of his body, his mentality will also be imperceptibly dissolved, leaving only the crazy pursuit of fame and fortune, status, and power day by day, until he slowly loses his heart and firm belief in the gradual distancing.
And behind the collapsed beliefs, there are often faces with confused eyes.
Xuan Daofeng's words made the originally cold atmosphere even more embarrassing and speechless.
"That's right. The sudden sound was crisp and soft, so that Xuandaofeng, who was holding a wine gourd and drinking, couldn't help but put down his hand, sat upright and listened quietly.
I saw Lin Zixu unhurried, and slowly spoke, "We were chased and killed all the way, and even the inn where we lived before entering the desert was found by them, but why haven't we seen them since we entered the desert?"
After listening to Lin Zixu's words, I really had an urge to beat her, how could anyone want to be chased and killed all the time, just talking nonsense, and not saying anything good.
However, the problem arises, because if you think about it, it is really the same thing, since the moment they (she) and their group stepped into the desert until now, at least they have not encountered the hidden forces.
"That's not easy, except for us and some business travelers who make a living in a ghost place like the desert, who else wants to wade into this troubled water. Shen Tao replied as a matter of course.
"Not true. At this time, Shen Dong was the first to veto, "Since we left the Guigu faction, we have encountered killers one after another, do you remember the first time we encountered the 'Yanyun Eighteen Horsemen'? I always feel that they were waiting for us from the beginning." ā
After Shen Dong finished speaking, his eyes swept around the four people, trying to see something from their reactions, but they were destined to be disappointed, because they frowned, lowered their heads and pondered, as if they were a little confused by his sudden words.
"They launched several large-scale attacks on us along the way, and they didn't give up chasing us before entering the desert, but why haven't we met them since we entered the desert? ā
Xuan Daofeng pulled out the stopper of the wine gourd and raised his head to take a sip, sure enough, his body was much warmer, he looked at Shen Dong, "What the junior brother said makes sense, killers, their task is to kill the prey, as long as we don't die, they will chase and kill them at the ends of the world, no matter how bad the environment is and how dangerous the terrain is, their purpose is just to kill the people on the list, and nothing else." ā
"Yes, this is also the reason why the killer profession is becoming more and more important, because as long as you have money, you can hire anyone to work for you, as long as the person you hire does not die and the person on the list is still alive, then the mission is valid for life. "Long Yanran is in the position of the emperor, and she has investigated these factors that threaten her.
"Then why don't they take advantage of the fact that we are entering the desert and our bodies are empty, which is obviously easier to do. Lin Zi looked at Xuan Dao Feng in confusion, and then at Long Yanran.
"Well, there are only two reasons left. As soon as Shen Dong's gaze made contact with a few people, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
At this moment when Lin Zixu and Shen Tao were stunned, Long Yanran immediately reacted. "Not bad. ā
"What is the reason?" Lin Zixu and Shen Tao asked in unison, it was rare to see the two of them so tacitly.
"One is because they have given up on chasing us. Shen Dong paused as he spoke, "But this is obviously impossible, second, it's simple, while we consume physical strength in the desert, they are also consuming physical strength, rather than this, why don't they choose to wait for the rabbit and wait for work?"
Shen Dong was talking here, Lin Zixu and Shen Tao stretched their necks and listened to it clearly, but Xuan Daofeng was drinking wine by himself, his posture was comfortable, not in a hurry, and there was no trace of panic.
"Could it be that this inn..." Lin Zixu stretched out his fingers, his eyes looked left and right, a little uneasy.
"Perhaps, the entire inn has been surrounded now, right?" At this moment, Long Yanran became relaxed.
"Now that I think about it, the appearance of this Tuoba Ruchen really has to make people suspicious. Shen Dong and Shen Tao have reached an agreement on the views of their two brothers.
"No... Yes... Right..."Lin Zixu opened his mouth wide with an expression of disbelief.
This is already the boundary of the Great Desert Country, and there are a lot of people who participate in the hunting competition at this time in this inn, if someone does something to Long Yanran and his party tonight, it will definitely have nothing to do with Tuoba Ruchen.
"If we want to do it, tonight is the best time, and we can definitely succeed while we are weak and weak. Xuan Daofeng said seriously.
"Yes, they gave up the pursuit all the way, and they were waiting for tonight, so there must be enough manpower, and their appearance means that there is the support of the Tuoba clan behind them, otherwise how can they remain silent and not be discovered. Shen Dong was also busy echoing.
"Regardless of success or failure, Tuoba Ruchen will come early tomorrow. "Thinking of what Tuoba Ruchen said, bring a few people into the palace early tomorrow morning, is there really a sound outside the strings?
To sort out the thoughts of the group, there are nothing more than these two points: first, tonight is the best time to do it. Second, the other party has a large number of people and is determined to win.
Now that all the spearheads are pointed at Tuoba Ruchen, will the truth disappoint the group?
