Chapter 236: Confrontation
Crescent Spring is a natural lake fifty miles north of the oasis in the middle of the lake, and it is named because it resembles a crescent moon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, the night was deep, the moon was in the middle of the sky, the stars were dotted, and there were two figures lying quietly behind a sand slope not far from the crescent moon spring, motionless, like a sculpture, it was Lei Shi and Tie Xuan who rushed here from the Yuelai Inn to perform the task.
"This is the Crescent Spring?" Tie Xuan asked, looking at the sparkling lake in front of him.
"Not bad. Lei Shi nodded.
"Brother Lei, since you have arrived at your destination, you can always tell me what you are doing here. Tie Xuan said expectantly.
And so on. "Lei Shi cherishes words like gold.
"Wait?" Tie Xuan's eyes showed a deep look of incomprehension.
"Hmm. Lei Shi replied and did not explain much.
"Okay. Even though his heart was full of confusion, seeing that Lei Shi didn't want to say anything, Tie Xuan didn't want to ask any more, so he could only continue to look at the calm lake in front of him with a stomach full of questions.
I don't know how long it took, just when Tie Xuan was about to fall asleep in a daze, a voice mixed with excitement suddenly sounded in his ears, "It's coming." ”
"Huh?"
Tie Xuan opened his eyes suddenly, and by the moonlight, he saw that the Lei Shi beside him was full of excitement, and as he looked at it, there were a few more figures by the crescent moon spring.
"This is?" Seeing this scene, Tie Xuan's eyes were full of surprise.
"It's Liao. Lei Shi on the side reminded.
"Liaoren?" Hearing this, Tie Xuan looked puzzled, and then asked, "What are they doing here at night?"
"They're looking for an entrance to a secret base. Lei Shi explained.
"The entrance to the secret base, what is that?" Tie Xuan asked puzzled, only to feel more and more doubts in his mind.
"The secret base is a place in my Gucheng to study secret weapons, as for where it is, I don't know, but it should be in one of the three places of Crescent Spring, Ranshigang, and Bibotan. Lei Shi said lightly.
"So, what is our mission?" Tie Xuan asked.
"Kill them. Lei Shi's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.
"Murder?" Tie Xuan said in disbelief, his heart trembling suddenly.
"Why, don't you dare?" Hearing Tie Xuan's words, Lei Shi suddenly said with a strange look on his face.
"It's not that you don't dare, it's just good, why kill someone?" Tie Xuan said with a reluctant expression.
"Tie Xuan, don't you understand, this is a war between the two countries, put away your compassion that you don't know what to call it. Lei Shi said angrily.
"Brother Lei, do you want to say that in this battle, there is no right or wrong, no fairness, no morality, only strength determines life and death?" Hearing this, Tie Xuan couldn't help but think of the scene of not returning to the mountain that day, and said with a wry smile on his face.
"Tie Xuan, since you know everything, why do you hesitate so much?" Lei Shi looked at Tie Xuan Dao puzzled, full of doubts in his heart, unable to understand why he was so cowardly in his heart when he seemed to be an indifferent person.
"Brother Lei, knowing is knowing, but doing it is another matter. Tie Xuan lowered his head and said lightly.
"You... Lei Shi hated iron and looked at Tie Xuan with a decadent look in front of him, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but he made up his mind in his heart that he would never perform a task with this person next time.
Just when Tie Xuan hesitated and Lei Shi persuaded him, two figures suddenly flew out from behind a sand slope, one in front and one behind, and rushed straight towards those Liao people.
"What is this?" Tie Xuan looked at Lei Shi suspiciously, waiting for him to give him an explanation.
Lei Shi looked at Tie Xuan beside him helplessly, he didn't want to say anything more in his heart, but he was afraid of the remnant soul on Tie Xuan's body, so he had to explain at the moment, "Those two are Fang Yuan and Xu Shilin you saw before, Xu Shilin is also a newcomer, generally speaking, the first task is a relatively easy patrol." ”
"Easy, Brother Lei, do you really think this task is easy, didn't you deliberately coax me?" Tie Xuan was puzzled, in his heart, killing someone he didn't know was already the biggest problem in the world.
"Why, don't you feel relaxed, just lying here to observe the movement, and don't want you to go deep into the tiger's den to spy on any military information. If a Liao person comes, if he can kill him, he will kill him, and if he can't kill him, he will escape. Lei Shi didn't care.
"Oh, Brother Lei, can you still escape if you can't kill the Liao?" Hearing this, Tie Xuan's eyes lit up, and a bold idea came to his mind.
"Tie Xuan, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, put away your little cleverness as soon as possible, do you think that no one has thought about your thoughts before?"
"I... Being poked by Lei Shi, Tie Xuan's face couldn't help but turn red all of a sudden.
Seeing that Tie Xuan was silent, Lei Shi knew that the other party's heart was entangled again, and immediately said, "What's more, killing a Liao person is not only considered a military merit value, but also all the finances on his body are all yours, the more good things like this, the better, then there are still people who are stupid and unwilling to kill." You must know that those Liao people are no longer human beings in our eyes, but resources, resources for cultivation. ”
"Brother Lei, I know what you said, it's just... It's just that... Tie Xuan lowered his head and said, he actually knew in his heart that what Lei Shi said was right, but some things had already formed a fixed thinking in his heart, and he couldn't change at all if he wanted to change at all, or he couldn't convince himself at all.
"It's just what, you said, a young man can say whatever he wants, why should he be so mother-in-law?" Lei Shi said angrily, looking at Tie Xuan's eyes full of disappointment.
Facing Lei Shi's questioning, Tie Xuan didn't have any response, his heart was full of entanglement, killing people for him after all, it had not become as simple as eating and drinking.
The two fell into a long silence for a while, one was new to the rivers and lakes, and the other was a collision of ideas.
At this time, next to the crescent moon spring, the four Liao people noticed that someone was approaching, and immediately pulled out the scimitar on their waists and ushered them over.
"Well done. Seeing the Liao people attacking, Xu Shilin did not retreat but advanced, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Sonorous!" sounded, the blood-colored long sword came out of its sheath, and under the light of the moon, the cold was overwhelming.
He was originally a child of a family, and the resources given by the family were already enough to cultivate, and the reason why he joined the warrior camp was to sharpen his actual combat experience.
As soon as he made a move, Xu Shilin directly cast his sword intent, and immediately an invisible blood-colored fluctuation in the void quietly dissipated. The two Liao people rushed over violently, and before they got close, they suddenly felt their necks tighten, their eyes were dark, and the whole person fell down involuntarily.
"Well done, Serin. Seeing this scene, Fang Yuan, who had not stepped forward on the side, praised with a happy face.
Hearing this, Xu Shilin didn't say anything, but his face was difficult to hide his smugness.
At this time, the remaining two Liao people saw that their companions died suddenly before they could fight the enemy, and they were immediately terrified, and turned around and fled without saying a word.
"I want to go, hmph, how can it be so easy. Xu Shilin said coldly, seeing that the military skills in his hand slipped away from under his nose, he hurriedly used his skills to chase after him.
"Shilin, poor Kou Mo chase. Fang Yuan saw Xu Shilin chasing the two fleeing Liao people, and immediately shouted, he is an old Jianghu, and he has always done things without merit but without fault.
It's just that Xu Shilin is young and vigorous and won the first battle when he is proud of the spring breeze, where will he listen to him, his lips are pursed, but his feet are non-stop.
Fang Yuan saw that Xu Shilin didn't look back, the speed of the chase was a little faster, and he couldn't guess the other party's thoughts, so he suddenly said helplessly, "Alas, this kid is really uneasy." ”。
It's just that at this moment, no matter what happens, this person can't be ignored, and his body moved and chased in the direction of Xu Shilin.
It is complicated to say, but in fact, in an instant, when Lei Shi was just about to take Tie Xuan down to help, the four of them had already chased and fled from the Crescent Moon Spring dozens of feet away.
"Alas, a great deal of wealth was missed in vain. Lei Shi said with a disappointed face.
"I'm sorry, Brother Lei, it's all my sake, if it weren't for me... Seeing Lei Shi's ugly face, Tie Xuan suddenly felt apologetic, and was about to comfort him, but he didn't want Lei Shi to interrupt him suddenly, "Shh, is there anyone else?"
"What?" Hearing Lei Shi's words, Tie Xuan's heart was suddenly shocked, and he looked along Lei Shi's line of sight, and sure enough, he saw several sneaky figures rapidly approaching the Crescent Moon Spring under the illumination of the moonlight.
"I didn't expect these Liao people to use tricks and play the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain, but unfortunately, they didn't expect us to come with two newcomers this time, so there are two teams patrolling the border here. Lei Shi said proudly, then his eyes moved, and he looked at Tie Xuan with a solemn face, "Let's go, Tie Xuan, it's time for you to go." ”
"Hmm. Facing Lei Shi's blazing gaze, Tie Xuan didn't dare to look directly, but nodded heavily.
