Chapter 114: Extremely Hard
Running into the woods beside the road, they drove their horses and trotted for dozens of minutes. Eventually, they stopped somewhere in the woods.
Shen Mengting looked around vigilantly and confirmed that there was no one else, so she dismounted with confidence. He looked very tired, and the moment her feet hit the ground, she almost fell unsteadily. This was almost impossible in normal times, and she struggled to put her hands on the horse's back, and gasped quietly for several breaths.
"You don't matter, right?" Qian Hao asked with concern. He dismounted himself and took a deep breath.
"It's okay!" Shen Mengting casually raised her arm. However, judging by her haggard face and unkempt hair, she was really reaching her limit.
She kept her hand on the horse's back for a few moments, and then she raised her head as if she was gradually thinking a little, "It's finally over!"
"Yes!" Qian Hao sighed. He turned his face to the woods and opened his hands slightly. He wanted to feel that sense of tranquility so much now.
Shen Mengting's eyes gradually became focused, and her gaze became sharper and sharper, and she looked at Zhao Yu who was still on horseback.
"Zhao Yu!" she shouted softly, and slowly walked over to support the man's body.
However, Zhao Yu's current appearance made her a little confused. Helpless, Shen Mengting chose to wake up the other party first. After gently patting Zhao Yu's back, she leaned her face over.
"Zhao Yu. ”
Zhao Yu seemed to be awake, but the moment he opened his eyes, he wailed in pain again.
"Zhao Yu!"
"My legs ...... My legs ......"
"I know, you come down first. Shen Mengting hugged Zhao Yu's body, she gently lifted it, and slowly put it next to a tree.
After Zhao Yu lay down next to the trunk of a big tree, he tried his best to touch his injured right leg, "Ah...... It's so uncomfortable! This ...... It's too cold. ”
"I know! You've been shot by an enemy's ice pillar, so your legs are frozen. But don't worry, don't worry, I'll take you to the doctor right away, and then show someone and heal with a little treatment. Shen Mengting half-squatted in front of Zhao Yu, constantly trying to appease. She also touched Zhao Yu's head from time to time, looking very concerned.
"Yes...... Is it?" Zhao Yu laughed miserably, looking extremely weak.
Qian Hao looked at them and walked behind them. In other words, he is still not very familiar with these two people. However, judging from the current situation, he was still moved by the spirit of the two of them who depended on each other.
"Yes. You just have to close your eyes and rest for a while. When we get to the next town, we'll find a doctor. Shen Mengting nodded at Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu obediently closed his eyes.
Shen Mengting looked at Zhao Yu for a while, and only after confirming that Zhao Yu was no longer moving, did she get up and leave. In the process of turning and walking, she also bumped into Qian Hao, who was behind.
That is, she looked at her indifferently, and Shen Mengting walked directly past Qian Hao. She made her way to Nassa, took a jug and aimed it at her mouth. Grunt and drank half a bottle before she stopped talking completely.
After drinking the water, Shen Mengting looked ahead for a long time, and after wiping the corners of her mouth, she suddenly squatted on the ground like a breakdown. She gasped for breath, and it looked like she was struggling.
Qian Hao stepped forward and quietly walked behind the woman, and when he saw her so powerless, Qian Hao wanted to step forward to comfort something. However, when he was about to move his mouth, he realized that he could not say anything. He'd never been able to talk to anyone before.
At present, Qian Hao himself is also very dazed, and the fierce fight has already left him scarred, especially the cold pain in his left shoulder. He couldn't help but stroke his left shoulder, and then twisted his left torso.
It's still a little stiff! Qian Hao lowered his shoulders.
"It's okay for you!"
Suddenly, Shen Mengting, who was sitting, spoke, and she slowly turned her head and met Qian Hao's eyes.
Qian Hao's chest burst into a hot stream, he sighed, and nodded helplessly, "Don't worry! Take a break for a while. ”
"Really?" Shen Mengting turned her head again.
Looking at the back of the woman's head, Qian Hao still decided to come around to her, "I know that I might be in a bit of a hurry to ask you what to ask now." But......" Qian Hao scratched the tip of his nose, "but there are some things, I still want to figure it out quickly." ”
Shen Mengting's body shook. Suddenly, she rolled her eyes, and her face returned to its previous sense of fortitude, "What do you want to know?"
Qian Hao had a straight face, and his appearance was extremely serious. He also used his thumb to tease behind him, "Who are those three people just now?"
"Who is it?" Shen Mengting asked angrily. She quickly stood up, "Who are they, don't you know how to look at them yourself?" She took a few steps into the distance, then suddenly stopped and turned around, "They're going to kill our enemies!"
"Yes, of course I know they're enemies. But the point is, why did they become your enemies, and why did they kill you?" Qian Hao seemed to be a little excited, he suddenly took a few steps closer to Shen Mengting, and his voice was slightly sharp.
Shen Mengting looked at Qian Hao, as if she had entered a state of silence.
Qian Hao relaxed when he saw this, and he spread his hands helplessly, "Well, I know." Maybe I don't need to know anything!" he shuddered, "according to our contract, I'm just one of your bodyguards. So there are a lot of things I can't ask about. If you force yourself to know something, you'll be fired!" he shook his head.
Time seemed to freeze, and the woods were surprisingly quiet. Qian Hao saw that he had touched his nose, so he gave up asking. However, until now, Shen Mengting refused to reveal half a word to him, which still made him quite chilled.
He was about to choose a tree to rest on, but just as he was taking steps, Shen Mengting's voice still sounded.
"Qian Hao!"
Qian Hao turned his head in response, "What's wrong?"
"Qian Hao. Shen Mengting took a few steps towards Qian Hao's side, "Actually, now, I am fighting so desperately for us in the hotel before." I should trust you. So...... I've decided to tell you everything I'm going to do, including the tasks I'm going to do!" she said in a stiff voice, her eyes fixed on Qian Hao.
"Really?" Qian Hao showed a look of longing for a moment.
Shen Mengting took a deep breath and moved her mouth as if she wanted to tell the story, "First of all...... Ask me who those three attacked us at the Motel!"
Qian Hao nodded violently, "Yes, who are they?"
Shen Mengting's eyes glanced sharply to the side, "They are all from the Sauron Empire. ”
"People of the Sauron Empire!" Qian Hao muttered over and over again. At first, he didn't have a deep reaction, but suddenly, he seemed to realize something, "Suo...... Sauron Empire?"
Turning his head to Shen Mengting suddenly, Qian Hao raised his eyebrows as if he was eager to know, "Is it the huge empire next to our Saran Kingdom?"
"Of course. Shen Mengting nodded calmly, "Could it be that there are other countries called Sauron in Celros?"
"But...... But......" Qian Hao's throat seemed to be stuck, as if he had swallowed a fish bone, "you...... Why are you messing with people in this country?"
That is, at the moment of a thought, Qian Hao suddenly thought of something. No wonder those three men were so powerful, if they were Sauron, then everything would be easy to explain. The Sauron Empire is one of the most powerful countries in Celloth, and it has a very, very large number of masters.
Qian Hao had heard earlier that in the Sauron Empire, it was not even uncommon for an expert to be at the expert level. And those three are all juniors who are no more than forty years old, and there are significant improvements. So...... Qian Hao sighed sharply, he was fighting against the terrible Sauron just now!
Having said that, Qian Hao felt strange when he fought with those three. Those three people are not old, but they have first-class outstanding strength, if it were in their Saran Kingdom, they would have been celebrities praised by everyone for a long time. But Qian Hao was very unfamiliar with them, as if he had never heard of these people. And if they are in the country of Sauron, then they can't be known to everyone, especially Qian Hao himself feels very unfamiliar, and there is a suitable reason.
Of course, Qian Hao also thought of a point, during the battle in the inn, the three of them were also Saraans one by one. Obviously, they are not from the Kingdom of Saran.
"I see!" Qian Hao touched his chin, as if he had finally understood the reason for something. However, after he quickly rolled his eyes, he suddenly pointed at Shen Mengting indiscriminately, "So...... What is your mission? Who are you?"
Shen Mengting pursed her lips, she straightened her waist and put her hands behind her back, "It seems that I should tell you everything in detail." ”
She took a deep breath and said in a serious tone.
It was noon, but the sky above the woods was not bright, and there were several large dark clouds moving in black. And every time a few dark clouds leave, there must be new ones floating overhead. Since there was no light in the sky, the woods were even darker. However, the good news is that the visibility in the woods is still quite good, at least in broad daylight.
Qian Hao trembled and held a document, and his eyes were almost unfrozen. He looked at Shen Mengting in a panic, "What...... What? This ...... This also ...... "His wheezing sound was messy, as if he had just run tens of thousands of meters."
"How's it going? Now you know all the facts, right?" Shen Mengting straightened up and put her hands behind her back.
"But......" Qian Hao sighed in a low voice, as if he was making a final confirmation, and immediately asked, "The Sauron Empire is really coming...... You're coming to invade our Saran?"
"Of course!"
Qian Hao instantly gasped, "This ...... It's also too ...... It's too ......" His body seemed to freeze completely
"Have you finished reading the document?" Shen Mengting looked at Qian Hao blankly, and stretched out her hand to him, "If you finish reading, give me the trouble." Because after all, this document is important. ”
When Qian Hao heard this, he was like throwing away a hot potato, and returned the document to Shen Mengting's hand. Shen Mengting put away the document as if she had found it, and stuffed it into a black covered document bag.
Just now, Shen Mengting had told Qian Hao everything one by one. From her arrival in Vortex to get the black sealed document bag, to the conflict with the Saurons, and finally to the task she needs to complete, which is to hand over this document to the king of Kiyose City.
In short, she has basically completely told everything she can say, including her identity as Shen Haiteng's daughter.
Qian Hao was also extremely surprised when he heard this, he couldn't calm down for a long time, and a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Original...... I see!" Qian Hao glanced at Shen Mengting with his eyes, "No wonder I always think that you were born extraordinary, and you definitely didn't come out of ordinary people." So you're in this capacity!"
"It doesn't matter what identity I am, the key is the task I am now given on my shoulders!" Shen Mengting replied calmly.
Qian Hao agreed with this very much, and he began to pace in circles, with a lot of nodding movements, "Ah! Yes, yes, yes! Your task is heavy!" he laughed miserably, "Shouldering the mission of the rise and fall of the country, this is so noble." ”
"Qian Hao! It's not a joke, it's a very important thing. I believe you should also know in your heart that if the Sauron Empire really annexes our Saran. Then what a nightmare day we Sarans will endure!" Shen Mengting's face was always expressionless, without the slightest mood swing.
Qian Hao couldn't help but look at Shen Mengting. Then he began to pace briskly again, "Yes! I know. I know very well what kind of country the Sauron Empire is. But......" he said, his eyes narrowed as if he were struggling to recall something, "but it's too unacceptable for you to suddenly tell me to do this. ”
"What are you so hard to accept?" Shen Mengting finally frowned, which also meant that she had already revealed some emotion.
"Think so!" Qian Hao's footsteps did not stop, he was still walking in circles. Moreover, as if he had encountered some trouble, he shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "At the beginning, when I came to contact you, I really saw the extraordinary value of your body. And then I want to use this to help you, so that I can take advantage of it. ”
Shen Mengting listened to such remarks quietly, instead of getting angry, she hooked her mouth and smiled, "Well, it's very sincere." So now, what do you think about that?"
"It's completely different now. Your task is so big that you have the mission of national security, and this is inevitably too big a matter for me. To be honest, I, Qian Hao, have walked most of Saram in order to eat and sleep well and enjoy a good life. I really didn't think about defending the country against aggression. ”
"So what are you going to do now?"
"I don't even know how to answer your question!" Qian Hao finally stopped, he was thinking about something, his eyes were rolling in his sockets, "By the way, I'll ask again." Do the Saurons who attacked us at the Motel have anything to do with the documents you have, or do they have a high degree of relevance to your mission?"
Shen Mengting suddenly lowered her eyes, "Qian Hao, are you knowingly asking?" she asked herself, "Of course they are related to my mission. They are the pursuers sent by the Sauron Empire to kill me!"
Qian Hao's eyes seemed to freeze, "That's it!" He stared at Shen Mengting tightly, "No wonder I can feel their attachment to your life and death! It turns out that they also have a very urgent task on them!"
"So is there anything else you want to know now?"
Qian Hao took a deep breath. After a long time, he glanced at Shen Mengting, it was a very sharp glance, with a taste that seemed to see through the other party's heart, "Those Sauron people seem to be very powerful and ruthless!"
Shen Mengting suddenly gave Qian Hao a smile, "Yes, they are the representatives of the younger generation in the Sauron Empire, and they are all of extraordinary strength." I'm sure you've already experienced their strength when you duel them. ”
"So...... Where are their professional ranks?" asked Qian Hao tentatively. Although he had a solid idea of the strength of the three Saurons, he still hoped that he could know it from Shen Mengting's mouth.
Shen Mengting paused for a long time, she seemed to have a sense that she didn't want to speak. However, after a large black cloud drifted overhead, she lowered her head and took a deep breath, "Actually, you should be clear. But since you have asked me openly, I am not going to fill you up. She glanced sharply at Qian Hao, "There are four of them in total." Of these, three are above the expert level, while the other is at the master level. ”
"What...... What?"
Although Qian Hao was prepared, he was still surprised by the answer. All he felt was a stream of heat rushing straight to his head, and he wanted to slam it down on his head. However, because of Shen Mengting's existence, he gave up this move.
Oops, do you say that I am a slut or something, how could I get involved in such a thing, Qian Hao's heart seems to be dripping blood.
"Qian Hao, if you think that the enemy is too strong and don't want to continue to work with us. I will not persecute you. Shen Mengting took a few steps in front of Qian Hao, this woman's current posture was head-on, "We can settle the bill now." I'll pay you a little bit, and we'll settle it off in the future. Still, I thank you for your hard work for us at the hostel. ”
Hearing this, Qian Hao quickly paced a few steps to the side, "What are you talking about? When did I say that I was scared." He stole his head back, "I'm just asking for some information." ”
"So that means you'll continue to be our bodyguard?" Shen Mengting raised her eyebrows.
"Of course!" Qian Hao turned around completely, he and Shen Mengting faced each other, "I have intervened in this kind of thing, how can I leave halfway!"
Shen Mengting's eyes suddenly widened after hearing this, and she stared directly at Qian Hao for a while before she spoke, "Qian Hao! It seems that you are a man, you are not the kind of person who seems to be extremely tall, but in fact is as timid as a mouse." ”
She gave Qian Hao a smile, a genuine smile, not a questioning mockery.
"That's a certainty, I'm definitely not that kind of person. Qian Hao proudly used his index finger to draw on his nose and mouth, "You have been in contact with me for so many days, don't you still know what my Qian Hao is like?" Well, yes. I may be a little improper, but in the face of major rights and wrongs, I am still very reliable, okay! Besides, this incident also involves the aggression of other countries against our country, and I, as a member of the Kingdom of Saran, also have the obligation to contribute. ”
Qian Hao said it so impassionedly.
