There was a little hesitation in his companion's tone, and he continued after a short pause: "That being said...... I'm still a little ...... in my heart."

"Don't worry, wait for this group of people to be sent to the Northland battlefield...... When they get to where they need to go, there's nothing to do with us! ”

The two of them stood in the forest by the stream in the valley and talked for a long time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I could hear the general content of the conversation between the two men.

Although there are some details that I didn't listen to too carefully, but with my previous guesses, I can understand the whole process very well when I look at it in the connection.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

I've learned it countless times.

This time it's my turn to fight in the Northland, and I'll experience it myself!

After all, the trade in the army is still inseparable from the silver!

What they are arguing with each other is nothing more than the result of the sharing of spoils.

Thinking of this, I looked at the people by the stream with some helplessness.

I wonder if those people already knew the fate of the next place, so they seemed so numb?

The only person in the group who sensed my gaze and looked at me was the person in the car when I woke up.

I can see that his expression is different from others.

I had been concerned about his attire from the beginning, and I judged that he should be from the mountains near the town where I had been kidnapped.

...... The team stopped by the stream for about a quarter of an hour or so, and then had to continue on the road.

I went back to the car that came later.

The driver looked at a more silent personality than the two men in the army.

He didn't talk much along the way.

The team walked along the trail through the mountains and forests.

I could vaguely feel as if I had entered a col again.

When the carriage stopped, we got off the carriage one by one.

This time, not far ahead, I saw a similar sight to the previous one.

...... "Why is it later than expected?" ”

The guard said in an irritated tone, "Why don't you speak? ”

One of the Sea Protectors in the house walked to the window.

He glanced out and looked anxiously at the other companions in the room.

"The Lord told us before he went in, but if it's already dark today, why is there no movement in the house?"

After speaking, his gaze met several companions again, and his eyes were still quite anxious.

While waiting, several people kept talking, but time didn't pass too slowly.

They talked about topics such as the secret guard who suddenly appeared in the deep valley and injured people, as well as some news about the royal master after arriving in the Northland.

Chatting and chatting about time was ignored, so in the blink of an eye, it was dark before we knew it, and their wait continued.

Escort from the Sea Kingdom...... There are big differences in the personalities of several of them.

For example, the guard who spoke just now, he obviously had a more impatient personality.

The companion sitting next to him made a gesture of "calm down" to him.

He stood up and walked over to the guard, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Don't worry, the Lord must be sure." ”

He lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said, "In my opinion, it was because of the delay on the road for some time, and the Lord took them all the way to the north, but they still stopped in a few places on the way, so it will be more difficult to remove the residual poison here than expected." ”

If you arrive in the Northland earlier, it will be less difficult.

"That's right," the other guard on the side nodded in agreement, "Don't forget, it took a long time to heal last time." ”

He was referring to what had happened during his time in Haiguo.

He pondered for a moment and then continued, "We were in a hurry at that time, but didn't that brother do his task soon after he was cured? ”

Several of them were familiar with the guards who had been cured at that time, and had even met them more than once, so when they heard him mention it, they nodded their heads in agreement.

The conversation continued in the room, and the anxious guard looked a little more relaxed at this moment.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and a layer had accumulated on the ground.

"If the Lord plans to go to the mountains tomorrow morning, the road will be slippery when it snows, and it will be difficult to walk!"

Several people gathered around the window, opened the window and looked out.

Because of the snow on the ground, the view from outside is clearer than it usually is after dark.

"You've told a few of us more than once about the tracking process last time, but is that secret guard really just going there alone?"

"Could it be that there is a response in the mountains?"

One of the guards by the windowsill turned back to the table in the middle of the room, sat down and poured himself a cup of hot tea, took a few sips, looked at the other companions, and said, "Let's say that we are two people to track down, although the conditions in that area are not very good......

There was an unfinished meaning in his tone.

"The fog was a little bigger, but if it didn't respond...... Where can that man go? ”

With the current weather, they all know how cold the night in the mountains can be.

If you want to spend the night there, if you find a leeward cave, you can always leave a little trace on the route along the way.

The guard pondered in his heart and muttered a few words to himself.

His companion at the windowsill followed and sat down across from him.

Then, his gaze stayed on his face and said: "This hypothesis, we have also wondered if their people have already been to the mountains or have arrangements there, and it is impossible for people to disappear out of thin air." ”

"Actually, we're more inclined to the terrain over there, there must be something we don't know about."

"The Lord intends to see for himself, and it must be for the same reason."

Several people looked at each other, and then ...... The window was closed, and they sat down around the table and began to drink tea.

The room where Tianfang and the two injured guards were located was always quiet, and nothing special was heard.

It's the wind outside, which sounds exaggerated.

If the snow falls overnight and the north wind blows, the road may freeze tomorrow morning, and it will be even more difficult to get there.

Tianfang plans to go to the mountains to inspect, but if the weather is not too good, maybe it will be too late for a day's work!

Although the guards didn't say much about this topic, the worries in their hearts were inevitable.

...... At the inn facing the street, the young man sat in the lobby and asked for a pot of warm wine.

It was too cold for him to resist the cold outside without a few sips, so he walked back and circled the streets of the town almost in a circle.

Walk through the alleys and back to your temporary home.

The Yuwen family has a place to live in the Northland, but the boy chooses an inn on a lively street in the town, and plans to stay here tonight.

I'll go back to the house tomorrow morning.

He had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Before leaving, I left a message with the guards who had left a message in the town to find information, and if there was any news, they would try to pass it on as soon as possible.

So far, the guards who stayed in the inn have not received any information, which means that there is no harvest on the part of the town for the time being.

Where will that guy be now?

The boy had no doubt that the fellow would come to the Northlands.

He had emphasized this countless times on the road, and there was no suspense.

But Xiaoling's sudden disappearance still leaves a question, where will the others be at this time?

The boy was planning in his mind what Ming'er was going to do in the early morning in the town.

He had to send someone to inquire about the location of the king's master, and he also had to inquire about the news of the empress who was said to live in the town...... In addition, people have to continue to wait for information from the other side of the town.

Let's see if Xiaoling's whereabouts have been passed on?

There was more than one thing to do, but there was only one thing, he hurried to the Northland without stopping, and he had no intention of resting.

I'm going to have insomnia tonight!

After thinking about it, the young man simply sat in the lobby of the inn and ordered a drink, intending to continue to spend some time here.

The night will not seem so long.

After a while, the guard upstairs also came down, sat down at the table where the young man was, and silently glanced at his little master, without asking aloud.

The two of them listened to the guests sitting there drinking and chatting in the lobby.

Their table was unusually quiet.

"Young master, will we go to the mansion tomorrow morning or will we still live here?"

The guard thought for a moment and then looked at the boy with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

"Go to the house, if there is no progress tomorrow morning."

The boy glanced up at the guard sitting opposite, lowered his head and took another sip of wine from his glass.

The guard's lips moved, and he wanted to ask something else.

But the little master of his family looked depressed and had no interest in talking, so he had to swallow back the words that came to his throat.

The snow outside the window was getting heavier.

The boy heard the sound of the north wind blowing outside, and couldn't help but turn his eyes to the window.

Outside the house, the water drips into ice, and you can see a layer of snowflakes slowly accumulating on the street.

The boy withdrew his gaze and stared at the warm fire in the inn lobby in a daze.

...... It's cold! I got out of the carriage and watched the snow fall in the sky, and the north wind in the mountains blew, and I almost froze.

The difference between day and night is too great, even the cotton robe I wore before could withstand the cold in the mountains, but now we are tired and cold, and it is really a little unbearable.

The people in the carriage all came down.

The three men in the army briefly deliberated, and decided that the two of them would press the formation in the rear.

After the division of labor, the guy who drove the car I was sitting in led the way.

The carriage stopped at the outside of the cave passage and found a leeward place.

They lit the torches they were carrying, and the light illuminated a small part of the passage we were going to walk.

I stared closely at the passage for a while, then I heard an impatient urging, and hurriedly followed the team inside.

...... This cave passage is a very narrow road, and it is not at all comparable to the one that my boy and Uncle Decrepit once walked through in the deep mountains.

As we passed, there were places where the height was not enough, and the taller people in the group even had to bend down to make sure that their heads would not be hit.

But for me, I don't have this problem.

After all, the difference between men and women is here, and my height will definitely not cause a burden to walk.

I walked silently with the team, wondering if the place would become more spacious when I walked inside.

I can't say if the space in the passage will be larger than what I see right now.

The reaction to me was similar to that of the mountain man in the group.

As I said earlier, except for those "hostages" with numb expressions, he is the only one who looks more like a living person.

We walked all the way along the cave pass.

He was walking ahead of me, and I saw him turn his head to look around him, and I could see something thoughtful.

Compared to the expression on his face when I first saw him, he looked much calmer now, but I don't know if he was planning something else under this apparent calm.

The team walked through the winding cave passages, as if the path had been dug to avoid some solid rock.

So there are very few roads that go straight ahead, and sometimes it feels like you're going around in circles.

As time passes, the feeling of fatigue gradually increases.

Because I was facing a long, dark passage, there seemed to be no end to walking on a winding road.

Time can simply be ignored in such a place, there is no concept at all.

Only the sore legs and feet remind me that I have been walking for a long time.

I look at the people who walked with me before and after, and they weren't necessarily much better off than I was.

Especially those "hostages" who were arrested at the beginning, it is estimated that there are still some "hostages" who have struggled, and the physical consumption is even greater!

The torches illuminate the path before and after you, so that you don't get lost in the dark, but a similar passage can only go in the same direction unless you step back, and you can't talk about getting lost.

At the same time, another feeling is getting worse.

At the end of the day, we didn't eat anything at all, and we drove in the car continuously.

Now you have to walk through the cave, and the physical strength is so depleted that there is no follow-up energy replenishment.

I was tired and hungry, and I could only hope for an exit to appear sooner ahead.

It's best to see the camp in the Sealand Army!

I think that the route was changed before, but the people in the Sealand army mentioned more than one camp in the conversation.

I wonder if they are going to take us to a camp for recruits who need to be trained.

Thoughts flashed through my mind, and I walked mechanically under my feet.

I can't think of a better way to relieve my fatigue than to distract myself from it.

...... After walking for nearly twenty minutes, there was finally a little movement ahead, mixed with the distant movement of the wind.

I was refreshed, and when I looked at the rest of the group, my expressions were a little fluctuating like mine.

It is estimated that everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the destination soon!

The people in the team were tired and hungry, hoping for at least a place for us to rest and fill our stomachs. (To be continued.) )
