Chapter 235: No Identity Revealed
Zhao Yu instantly showed a very puzzled expression, he didn't understand what Shen Mengting meant at all.
Why would it cause trouble for their team to bother with that? Zhao Yu kept blinking. The current situation almost confused him.
"Ah, why, why is it causing trouble?" Qian Hao couldn't help but ask, stunned.
"Don't you know our current situation?" Shen Mengting turned her head angrily and rolled her eyes, "What is our most important task at the moment, have you all forgotten?"
When the question was asked, the teammates did not answer it immediately. They all froze, as if they had just been reprimanded by others.
But it didn't take long for Shen Jun to react first, "What does our current situation and mission have to do with helping that pathetic family?"
Shen Mengting couldn't help but 'hehe' a few times after hearing this, and her head seemed to be shaking slightly, "So, you don't know anything at all, but you're still there to help others!"
"Hey, just say what you have to say, I'll listen to you!" Although Shen Jun was still trying his best to maintain his momentum just now, anyone with a discerning eye could see that his tone was no longer as tough as before.
"We can now say that the task is arduous! Time is not waiting for us to waste at all! Let's just say that now, our first responsibility is to hurry to Qingse City, and then finish what we should do! And other things, try to put them aside!" Shen Mengting rolled her eyes and looked at Shen Jun, "Put it aside, do you understand? Just leave it alone, wait until the business is done, and then interfere well." In this way, you can get twice the result with half the effort!"
Shen Mengting's words seemed to be a hurricane sweeping into the depths of everyone's hearts. It really almost suppressed the desire to help. It's just that Shen Jun is not among them, and his mood is still so indignant.
"You're too light-hearted! You're really busy with business now, and you've promised to wait until it's done. But have you ever thought about the time? The ghost knows what will happen in the future! Now that old man is about to be captured by those soldiers as a substitute for the dead ghost, and by the time your business is done, I guess the old man will be dead. So, what time is there for you to 'do something serious' first!" Shen Jun began to shake his body, if he hadn't been holding the reins of the horse with one hand, he would have felt like he was about to fall off the horse.
"But the truth is that you are not allowed to act recklessly!" Shen Mengting pulled the reins in her hand again, and the 'Nasa' she was riding also took a step closer to Shen Jun.
At this moment, it was equivalent to completely sealing Shen Jun's forward route.
Shen Jun was a little chilled when he saw this, he clenched his sword and kept slashing it horizontally and vertically. He did this for only one purpose, and that was to get Shen Mengting out of the way quickly.
"That!wait!I have a question to ask!" Qian Hao suddenly 'drove' a few times, and he came to the middle position between Shen Mengting and Shen Jun. In this case, the three people and the three horses seemed to form a triangle, "Shen Mengting! What you just said is actually quite reasonable! After following you for so many days, I can understand the responsibility that we have been given physically!"
"Hey!Qian Hao!What's wrong with you?,You've been following this woman for a long time, and you've become so bureaucratic and cold-blooded!," Shen Jun said accusatory.
Qian Hao immediately raised an arm. Judging from his impatient expression, he seems to have a sentence in his heart that you want to accuse or wait first, haven't I finished speaking?
Shen Jun roughly guessed Qian Hao's intentions, so he shut up and said no more. The friendship between many years is not covered, and he is confident that Qian Hao will stand by his side this time.
"So I think it's really important to go to Kiyose Castle as soon as possible!" When Qian Hao lowered his arm, the words flowed out as if they had been released, "But one thing is quite strange! If you want to help that family, it won't take much time! They are just a group of ordinary soldiers, even if they are a mid-level swordsman, it is not too difficult to deal with." So why are you afraid to stop us from helping?"
Speaking of this, Qian Hao rolled his eyes. There was a different light in his eyes, and the questioning meaning in it was also sharp and piercing, "Are you really afraid of delaying time?" or...... What are the other reasons?"
Qian Hao's words seemed to be very lethal, and Shen Mengting had the illusion that she was about to retreat. However, after a slight hesitation, she regained her resistance, "Qian Hao, do you know what you're talking about?"
"What's the matter, I'm right!" Qian Hao's face turned into a 'grin' look. But just a few seconds passed, and he regained his sense of seriousness.
Qian Hao's serious expression made Shen Mengting a little uncomfortable, and she didn't even want to look directly into the man's eyes. After squinting her eyes in retreat, she took a quick breath, "Well! That's right! Sure enough, it's not a loss of money! You can see the essence of the topic every time! Indeed, as you said, it's not just a matter of time!"
"Then ......" Qian Hao's mouth opened slightly, and his tongue seemed to be about to stick out. Gradually, his tongue passed through the two rows of teeth, as if he would bite his tongue hard as soon as he took a mouth, "What is the problem?"
Shen Mengting closed her mouth slightly, and the two thin lips also touched one piece. She didn't seem to have the feeling of wanting to say the words. However, under the watchful eyes of Qian Hao and other companions, she was finally able to open her mouth.
"Those men are all soldiers! I don't know which battalion they are, and which general is in charge of them! But the reality is that they are real soldiers. Especially the one named Chen Ziqun, he is still a lieutenant! A group of officers and soldiers are doing things, how do you tell me to meddle in it?" At the end of the words, Shen Mengting still seemed to have a feeling of being overwhelmed. She let out a sharp breath, her shoulders sinking together.
"Ahh
"Shen Jun, do you know what you're talking about?" Shen Mengting tilted her head contemptuously, "How can people like you understand things in the army!"
"Wow! You use the word 'don't' well! Since you look down on me so much, why did you recruit me into the Tuai team in the first place?"
"Hey, hey, hey, wait!wait!wait!"Perhaps seeing that the contradiction seemed to be burning like a flame, Qian Hao immediately slapped his palms on both sides, "What are you doing? Obviously there is a dispute over 'whether to save others', how can it rise to the matter of 'whether to recruit people into the team'?"
Looking at the two arguing in turn, Qian Hao seemed to be like a commander.
"That's not what I wanted. Qian Hao, you should think about who started this matter first!" As Shen Mengting spoke, her mount moved for some reason. She set her mind on stabilizing the horses.
"Well, that's what I started!" What's wrong?" Shen Jun was still unconvinced as always, "You don't have to always put on a high-minded appearance, Lao Tzu hasn't relied on you to eat!"
"Okay! Don't say anything!" Qian Hao quickly suppressed Shen Jun's quarrel momentum. Then, he turned his head to Shen Mengting again, "What is there in the army that makes you jealous?" he frowned.
Shen Mengting took a deep breath when she heard this, "It's not that I'm jealous!" it ......seems that there is something unspeakable, and she chose silence at first. However, under Qian Hao's desperate eyes and the puzzled gaze of others, Shen Mengting still decided to open her mouth, "These soldiers may have been borrowed by a certain official." In other words, maybe they were originally in a nearby military camp. And I, myself, used to work in a nearby barracks. So......" Her eyes seemed to be rolling rapidly, "so ......"
"So you're afraid they might be your colleagues!" Shen Jun said sarcastically.
"Shen Jun, pay attention to your tone and wording!" Shen Mengting straightened her chest, her face was extremely straight, "It's not my colleague." Rather, they could be colleagues of my immediate boss! If that's the case, then ......."
"So what do you decide?"
Regarding Shen Jun's question, Shen Mengting did not answer immediately. She simply lowered her head, "I promise you! I will definitely pull all my connections in the city to complete the investigation of this matter! Of course, I will definitely pay the house justice!"
said it very sincerely, Shen Mengting also deliberately rolled her eyes and looked directly at Shen Jun, "How is it?"
Hearing this, the others also showed thoughtful expressions. Soon after, the expressions of 'it seems to be good' were pressed on everyone's faces.
Shen Jun also seemed to be a little moved. I saw him bow his head slightly, but he didn't say anything more for a long time. This is a difference between heaven and earth when he was excited to raise his sword to cut people just now.
"How?"
Shen Mengting's other question finally made Shen Jun raise his head. He looked at Shen Mengting for a long time, and the sword in his hand seemed to be slowly putting down.
Shen Mengting saw a clue, and she felt that in the next moment, Shen Jun would nod and agree. So she pulled off the reins of her horse, and was about to turn around.
'Gotta get out of this place of right and wrong!' she thought she would immediately walk a little farther away, and then think of everyone giving the order to 'go'.
But who knows, that is, when Shen Mengting was just about to straighten her chest and open her mouth, Shen Jun's words were revealed.
"No! no!" Shen Jun's current demeanor was a little wooden, he didn't even look up at Shen Mengting, "No! I absolutely can't watch an ordinary family being framed like this! No! I have to help!"
Shen Jun's determination moved many people, especially Jiang Jingwen, who had sworn just now that she would always stand next to her sister Mengting, couldn't help but cast a look of admiration at Shen Jun.
But Shen Mengting took a big breath after hearing this, "Shen Jun, what do you want?"
"Isn't it obvious what I want?" Shen Jun rode his horse and slowly approached Shen Mengting, "I'm going to save that family!" Shen Jun's voice went from low to high.
"No!
"Why! Why do you want to stop me again and again!"
"Because the situation is so urgent! We don't have the time to care about anything else!"
"I'm just going to do a favor! I don't cut people, I just cut off the swords of those soldiers, and then run away from them in panic, that's all right!"
"Not really!"
"Why?"
"If you can't say no, you can't!"
"I'm a big x! Why are you so ruthless as a woman! Don't you hear the cry there?"
Following what Shen Jun said, almost everyone looked to the other side of the fork. At this moment, the family of three was already hugging each other, as if they were making a final goodbye. Among them, the old woman's weeping was the saddest, and she seemed to know that she would never see her father again.
"I heard it! I'm also indignant!" Shen Mengting left the horse's reins with one hand, and she pointed at the place where the incident occurred, "But the current situation does not allow us to meddle!"
"Why! What obstacle makes you so indifferent to the misfortunes of a family? Is it that the relationship in the army makes you so intimidated?"
"No! A lot of things aren't as simple as you think!"
"Ah, is there another reason? a more important reason?" Qian Hao interjected when he saw this.
Shen Mengting glanced at him. After constantly taking her breath, she was able to calm down. Lowering her head to look down, she suddenly raised her head again. It was at this moment that she felt as if she was going to tell everything.
"Do you know what we're about to face?" Shen Mengting's eyelids seemed to be sinking rapidly, and there was a feeling of lovelessness in them, "Do you know how heavy the burden is on your shoulders at the moment?"
Looking at Shen Mengting's appearance, everyone was silent.
"We have finally gone through a lot of hardships, and we are finally about to come to Kiyose City. But that doesn't mean we're winning. Because, there is an even trickier thing that awaits us. Look there!" Shen Mengting pointed in the direction of the west, "There is a huge empire that may mobilize troops to invade us in the near future. But our government is not aware of it at all. That's why we have such a heavy burden. We need to hurry up, hurry up and tell the rulers of Kiyose Castle to get ready!"
When the last four words were spoken, Shen Mengting's legs, which straddled both sides of the horse's body, kicked down hard.
Her move shocked everyone, and they all instantly understood Shen Mengting's hard work and the pressure this woman was withstanding.
"I don't like those soldiers' oppression of the people, but we really don't have the strength to care about it now! Of course, there is a more important reason for this, that is, as soon as the words of ...... were spoken, Shen Mengting suddenly stopped. She stared at almost all of her teammates and stopped talking.
For a while, the silence swept away the hearts of everyone in the team.
After a long time, Qian Hao went to ask, "What is it? A more important reason?"
Shen Mengting glanced at Qian Hao, "We must not reveal our identities now, let alone attract the attention of officers and soldiers." Especially this group of people!" she pointed to the group of officers and soldiers who were still struggling with the family.
"Sister Mengting, why can't they pay special attention? What is so special about them?"
"I've already told you! They may be soldiers in a nearby camp, and they are very likely to notice something! If they find out something, won't our days of hard work be in vain?"
Qian Hao was the first to understand Shen Mengting's painstaking efforts. At this moment, he also knew the most important reason why Shen Mengting had been trying to stop them from saving people.
Since these officers and soldiers were escorting items for an official in the city, they were destined to have contacts with some forces in the city. If Shen Mengting shows up now to blindly save people, it may lead to the exposure of her identity. Not only that, but if these officers and soldiers are connected with certain compromisers, or they themselves are compromisers in the army. Then, the danger of Shen Mengting and her party will be greatly increased.
At the same time, as the saying goes, if you pull a hair, you will move the whole body. The knowledge of a group of officers and soldiers may also cause a very powerful chain reaction, and may eventually lead to the failure of their plan to enter the city.
This is what Shen Mengting is most worried about.
Qian Hao looked at Shen Mengting with admiration. This woman thinks about things far more than anyone here.
"That's the way it is, so I repeat that nothing can affect my desire to go into the city, and I will never be so stupid as to reveal my identity for the sake of a trivial matter!"
"A trivial matter, you say this is a trivial matter?" Shen Jun was obviously also excited, "How can this be a trivial matter? This is the life of a family?"
"That old man won't be in danger of his life. No official would kill a civilian because of a broken vase. You know, this isn't the Sauron Empire!"
"But it's also true that those officers and soldiers wronged this old man!"
"Yes! It's true! I'll deal with it when we're in town and I'm done handing in the papers! It's that simple! How about it? Do you have anything else to say?"
Shen Mengting's momentum was very strong, almost overpowering Shen Jun's head by many times.
However, Shen Jun didn't have any intention of retreating, he still had the feeling that he was going to argue to the end.
Shen Mengting breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. She was about to continue her words of dissuasion. Who would have thought that Shen Jun suddenly pulled the reins of the horse.
Shen Jun's move stunned everyone. And the next scene made everyone even more staggered.
"If you're afraid of revealing your identity, stay by the side. I'll take care of this matter!" Shen Jun 'drove' and ran his horse towards the fork in the road on the right.
"Hey, Shen Jun!" Qian Hao immediately followed when he saw this.
"I'll go too!" Jiang Jingwen somehow pulled up the reins and also loosened the horses.
And seeing that most of the people were gone, Zhao Yu also fell into a dilemma of which side to choose. However, after hearing the miserable cries of the civilians over there one after another, Zhao Yu was still determined to ride the horse. In that instant, he was already running to the right of the fork. Friends who read books, you can search for "Blue Chinese Network", you can find this site as soon as possible.
