Chapter 308: Leave a Mouth Alive
No matter what he thinks, the boy believes that the other party will send Xiaoling to the Northland!
This was the reason why he had arranged a tracking mission before he left town. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The reason for this is that the road conditions from Nanhua Town to the previous station in Beidi are really bad.
In the past, the guards who rushed over told me that many places along the way had collapsed.
Even the vehicles of the passing caravans were delayed in the middle of the road.
This was caused by the continuous heavy rain after the passing of the king's division.
Speaking of which, I have to mention that Wang Shi's luck is also very good!
And the people who returned to Suzhou City from the north have always been careful along the way.
If Xiaoling was taken away and went south, the young man understood that it was absolutely impossible that there would be no news until now.
On the other hand, in the Northland, because several forces are involved, they dare not make too much movement in this vicinity, otherwise they may not be found by then, but it will attract irrelevant people to intervene.
The boy has taken into account all aspects, so in his opinion, Xiaoling's whereabouts ...... After he was taken away in the middle of the night at the last town inn, the most likely thing is to go to the Northlands.
...... After a short while, the guard asked, "Young Master, if we continue to move forward...... Will you soon meet someone of a different race? ”
The boy turned to look at the two guards who followed.
Then, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone, he said, "Now that we've come here, we'll probably meet them on the road ahead......"
The young man paused and looked at the two guards and said, "Those aliens...... I remember to leave a living mouth when the time comes, just to solve my doubts. ”
After the young man said this, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Then he took a few steps and turned his head to look at the two guards of the Yuwen family, taking in their faces.
He knew that he had to step forward, so that he would not be overwhelmed by the time...... In case these two see the alien appear, they are heavy-handed!
If you can catch an alien who knows the inside story, you can figure out a lot of doubts before.
The boy knew very well in his heart how important this matter was!
He hopes to solve the question as soon as possible and know an answer.
...... After a short rest in the woods, the boy retracted his thoughts.
He stood up and said to the two Yuwen family guards on the side, "Continue on your way." ”
Through the fog in the forest, you can see the road ahead.
After coming out of the dense forest, I still walk through the forest path.
As the boy walked through it, he would occasionally stop to take a look at the marks left on the trees.
He watched it more often, and the doubts in his heart increased instead of decreasing.
The guards who followed behind seemed to sense the emotions of their little master, and stepped forward to inquire when he stopped to inspect again.
"Young Master, is it the mark left by an alien?"
The two guards' hearts sank, and they subconsciously exchanged glances and looked at the young man.
One of them cautiously asked, "What do you see?" ”
"No, it's just that I've seen the markings here more than once," the boy continued, after a pause, "I've never known that aliens would use markings of this shape. ”
For a moment, the young man's expression was a little solemn.
He had searched his memory diligently, but he couldn't find even the slightest clue about it.
Of course, he also knew that the markings left on the trees would not be the usual method used by the secret guards in the areas he was familiar with.
This has long been ruled out by him.
If not, will it be...... The corners of the young man's lips pursed, and a thought flashed through his heart in an instant.
The guards looked at their little master with expectant eyes.
The problem is this young master of the Yuwen family...... Something that even he himself was not sure of, according to his personality, certainly did not want to say it easily.
He stood still for a moment, his eyes frozen for a moment.
Then the young man turned sideways and gestured to the two guards, "Keep going, I need to take another look." ”
The guard took a step behind, looked at his companion and lowered his voice, "Who do you think will be one step faster than us?" If it wasn't left by an alien, could it be that Wang Shi's spies had a new mark? ”
They didn't think as far as the teenagers, but they also knew that this area was close to the Northland battlefield.
In terms of distance, it is not very far, and the people of Wang Shi can reach it completely.
If it was really Wang Shi's spies who came to investigate, it wouldn't be strange.
The royal division team is huge, and there is more than one mountain camp in the Northland.
It seems reasonable if the points of contact here make a little different.
What's more, there was an accident last night, and even Wang Shi's camp on the front line was attacked at night...... They've expanded their search to Northland!
The guard secretly said in his heart that the other party might be planning to be more cautious.
Even if it's a mark!
The companion lowered his voice to the guard, "How many times have I reminded you?" Again, that's the same sentence. ”
"The young master didn't say a conclusion, let's not speculate."
His companion glanced at him and said affirmatively, "I think there's really a problem...... Clues will definitely be found ahead. ”
The guard shook his head a little disapprovingly, a little helpless at his companion's gaze.
He felt that the other party was too careful.
Fortunately, this trip is not a task for the two of them alone, at least there is their own little master, otherwise they will not be tied up in the way of their companions!
...... Coming out of the dense forest, the boy has always been at the forefront of the group.
The line of three people lined up in front of and behind, he was always the first to see the scene ahead.
They broke through the trees in the forest and got out of the predicament.
The markings left along the way are also silent reminders to them...... The road ahead is already one step ahead of them...... Suspected alien walked by.
Although the young man was suspicious, until they found solid evidence, they still didn't make too many suspicions about the people in front of them.
Until the young man suddenly stopped, the two guards of the Yuwen family who followed behind him immediately looked forward.
When they saw clearly the rocks blocking the road ahead, they blocked the entire road, which meant that the road ahead was impassable.
The guard looked ahead in surprise.
After a long pause, he stepped forward and approached his little master and asked, "Young Master, what's going on here?" ”
The good end of the walk went smoothly, and suddenly there was no road in the past, which couldn't help but make people wonder.
The boy frowned and looked ahead, and instead of rushing forward, he retreated to the last mark left by the forerunner he had seen.
He could see very clearly, it was indeed a little farther away from the blocking rock, and it was the last mark they saw when they came to this point.
But the road stretched all the way here, and there seemed to be no reason to be cut off suddenly.
If it is indeed broken here, the other party will definitely find a way to detour or have other shortcuts nearby.
At the moment, it seems unlikely.
The guard stood aside, quietly looking at his little master and bowing his head and frowning and thinking, it was not appropriate to disturb at this time.
The light in the forest was partially obscured by the trees, and the light and shadow cast through the leaves fell on the young man's face, half bright and half asleep.
After a short pause, the young man turned his head to look at the mountain rocks blocking in the distance, and then retracted his gaze to look at the two guards standing aside and said, "Come forward and see, is there a way to pass." ”
He hesitated slightly in his tone and continued: "If it doesn't work, think of another way, or...... Look for a marker in the nearby woods. ”
"Let's see if there's anything else."
The boy made a decision after thinking about it, and the next step was to go ahead and explore the way first.
This time, the guards who followed him understood what the boy meant, and then volunteered to go to the rocks to inspect them, and asked the boy to stay where he was.
Rarely, the boy didn't say anything against it.
Under his gaze, he watched as one of the guards who followed walked to the rocks ahead.
The man measured the height of the rock, and was taking out the tools he was carrying, intending to climb up to take a look, but halfway through his movements, he suddenly stopped and lowered himself to look.
He straightened up, turned his head to look at the young man, and said loudly, "Young master, there is also a mark here, you can come and take a look." ”
Hearing this, the young man who was standing under the tree behind him and watching him walked briskly with another guard.
...... When the boy got closer, he saw the mark of the guard, but it was different from the mark left along the way in the forest.
All that remains here is the mark of a man-made climb.
If it weren't for the damp fog in the mountains in this area, I am afraid I would not have had a chance to discover these details.
The young man's mind turned, and he immediately decided: "Don't look at it anymore, just go up and inspect it." ”
...... The boy turned around and glanced at the forest road behind him.
At this moment, the misty forest had long been left behind, and when I looked over, it was a misty mountain scene.
The boy was the first to climb to the top of the rock, followed by two guards of the Yuwen family.
It wasn't until the three of them had crossed the rocks that blocked their way that they saw a mountain scenery similar to the Misty Forest.
The guard looked at the appearance in front of him, and the whole person was not good.
couldn't hold back the depression in his heart, and he couldn't help but complain: "What kind of place is this!" ”
"It's foggy everywhere, and looking at where the road leads, I say......"
Before he could finish, his companion slapped him the shoulder, and the guard was silenced.
The companion turned to look at the young man and asked, "Young Master, there was a formation blocking it in the Misty Forest before, and now there are mountains and rocks blocking the way, it seems that this place is indeed a forbidden place." ”
"The road conditions are not good, and the aliens who arrived here before us will definitely not be able to go fast."
After hearing this, the young man nodded, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at him and responded: "Yes, this area is a forbidden place where mountain people will not come. ”
"The aliens who broke in from outside must have had a hard time."
The young man looked at the road ahead, groaned and continued, "They arrived here before us, or continue to walk, then...... The place you are looking for must be deep in the mountains. ”
From this point of view, the mountains and rocks blocking the road are still only the checkpoints on the way.
The boy muttered in a low voice, "I haven't reached the core area yet!" ”
...... When Gu Qimei walked into the study, she unexpectedly saw that there was another person beside the empress.
She fixed her eyes and saw that it was the female officer who had been sent to the first-line camp in the Northland a few days ago.
I'm afraid I'm coming back at this time to get back to the empress.
Gu Qimei knew all the movements in the mansion, but she didn't see this person come back, and most of her heart was when she was interrogating the recruits from the camp, she happened to enter the mansion, so she didn't see it.
The female official saw Gu Qimei at a glance and wanted to step forward to say hello, but when she turned her eyes, she saw the empress sitting aside with a gloomy face, and temporarily dispelled this thought.
The two of them met their eyes, Gu Qimei smiled at her and nodded, which was considered to be a greeting.
Noticing the letters spread out on the empress's desk, Gu Qimei was not far enough to see the contents above.
However, since the letter has been delivered, most of it is related to the front-line war in the Northland.
After a few seconds, the empress turned her head to look at Gu Qimei, beckoned her to come closer, and pointed to the letter spread out on the table.
Gu Qimei quickly picked up the letter paper and browsed it, knowing it in her heart.
She looked at the empress and said, "Your Majesty, it's not a secret, there was also a letter from the envoy just now, which is related to the night attack on the camp. ”
"Where is the faith?"
The empress glanced at her and said in a calm tone.
Gu Qimei stepped forward, handed the letter to the empress with both hands and said, "Your Majesty, the envoys are waiting in the courtyard, this is the letter they just delivered, it's ......"
There was no need for Gu Qimei to say more, the empress saw the handwriting on the envelope at a glance, stared at it with wide eyes for a few seconds, and then took the envelope and opened it.
She read it quickly, and later laid the letter on the table.
The empress's eyes fell on Gu Qimei's face again, and she asked with a hint of temptation: "Do you believe it or not, what is written above?" ”
Gu Qimei looked at the letter with hesitant eyes, and paused before saying, "Your Majesty has his own judgment in his heart, and the minister does not dare to speak falsely." ”
She wanted to speak and stopped, and the moment she was asked by the empress, she really didn't dare to draw conclusions.
Gu Qimei knew...... At this time, the eldest sister of the Gu family is in the first-line camp!
The corners of the empress's mouth moved, her face softened a little, and she turned the letter in a different direction and handed it to the female official standing on the side: "You can also take a look, and tell me what you think after reading it." ”
The empress said calmly, "After all, you just came back from the camp, and you know the situation over there better than Qimei. ”
...... I walked forward with Master Wan and the attendants.
Along the way, it is almost impossible to see idlers passing by in the courtyard of the house.
We are located in a relatively remote corner of the house, I believe near the Empress's residence...... It certainly won't be so deserted.
Master Wan stopped several times to look at me, who was walking at the end.
I actually did this on purpose, walking slower and landing at the end to take a look at the scenery around me.
It's a little more relaxed than when I first entered the house.
...... The three of them walked along the courtyard path to the woods where the carriage was parked, when the attendant who was walking in front suddenly turned his head. (To be continued.) )
