I glanced indignantly at the young man's back, lowered my head and quickly followed.

Calm down and think about it, the two people I met earlier really didn't look like Sealanders.

They give me the same kind of temperament that I am familiar with.

As I said, that's the same kind of temperament.

The problem is that when the two of them think about it, they seem to look quite familiar.

Where have I seen them?!

A thought crossed my mind, and I stopped in a daze.

Suddenly I had a guess in my mind.

The young man immediately turned to stare at me and said, "Xiaoling, keep up!" ”

I sighed and quickened my pace to catch up.

If it is really the people under the hands of Senior Brother, who are related to the Sea Kingdom, could it be that Senior Brother has already gone to the Northland?

He and I parted ways on the boat, and we didn't get a chance to see each other again.

That time, I unexpectedly encountered a hijacking in a dangerous situation outside Suzhou, although I made an oolong by mistake, but I still got separated because of this!

When I arrived in Suzhou, I couldn't find any trace of my brother, and the water in Suzhou was deep, and there was more than one strange thing that happened.

I knew the boy in front of me must be hiding something from me.

As for the senior brother, the black-bellied fellow, I could think with my toes that the gang under the senior brother must have been assigned by him to find my whereabouts.

But when I left the capital, including on the ship, I could find some signs in the details, that is, my brother should have come to Zealand to do something of his own.

Perhaps his mission is still a little tricky, and unsurprisingly it will be related to the war in the Northlands.

I have reason to believe that he is busier than me.

When I was in the national capital, I personally flipped through the ledger, and there was a lot of information hidden in the middle of the flow of money.

A war is definitely not a simple battle between the two sides, but involves all aspects.

I just feel upset, if those two people were really sent by my senior brother, then I missed the opportunity to be found by him again?!

Right now, I'm following the tsundere boy, still tracking down the escapee who didn't know where to go.

We're trying to get a clue from that guy about the alien camp and what they're up to.

I really can't delay it anymore!

If the senior brother is on the way, maybe they will all arrive at the next post station by this time. Then the boy and I may meet him in the Northlands.

I've put my mind in order, and the top priority at the moment is to keep tracking up first.

If I wait out of the cave and realize that the clue is broken, I will tell the tsundere boy to go directly to the official road. We're in a hurry!

"Xiaoling, Xiaoling, you slow down!"

Before I knew it, the boy had thrown me some distance away.

In fact, I've gone as fast as I can.

Helplessly compared with him, the disparity in body value is always there.

The boy looked at me. Slowed down a bit, muttering something.

Even if I didn't hear it, I knew that guy was talking about me

As you walk along the road, you can see a small town built on a hillside in the distance.

Tianfang looked up at the sky, this day is very powerful, it doesn't look like it's going to rain.

I heard that it rained in the mountains around Suzhou, but I didn't think about it and rushed here, and I didn't encounter a single rain, is it considered God's favor? !

Outside of town, when I was going to go in. Tianfang deliberately paused, and he stopped by the stream next to the official road at the foot of the mountain.

In winter, the water looks very clear, and some passers-by also stop to drink water and rest.

The guards led their horses to the stream, and let their mounts drink some water by the stream, and they followed their lords to rest for a while.

Several groups of people passed on the mountain road one after another, and there were people coming and going from the south to the north.

The way into the town is a ramp, which is a bit more strenuous and slows down.

Wait a moment, rest and get back on the horse. Tianfang took the guards to Nanhua Town

Before he came, in the study, during the voyage, he had been with him.

Most of the time I think about it. Therefore, Tianfang knows more about the terrain here than ordinary passers-by.

He planned to stay here, and after confirming the news, he hurried to the mountains, since it was a stop site, he also paid attention to the layout of the town on the map.

Tianfang walked around the street with the guards, and then arrived at an inn in the south of the town.

I didn't pay too much attention when I chose, and I saw that the inn was quiet in the middle of the noisy alley. Good location, suitable for stay, decided to stay.

At a cursory glance, the layout of the inn is not much different from the ones that Tianfang has lived in before.

Down the street is a large yard with a kitchen in the backyard.

The dining area below has a view of the flowers and trees in the front yard, and is separated from the street outside by a wall

They lived upstairs in the inn, and when they opened the window, they saw the adjacent Zhennan Long Street.

Tianfang lived in a room alone, and the two guards lived next door to him.

I walked to the window and gently pushed it open, and the cold mountain breeze outside the window blew in.

The air suddenly became fresher, and Tianfang took a deep breath and stood still to look at the pedestrians on the street

After about a quarter of an hour, the sky went downstairs.

The guards heard the movement and followed.

There were a few scattered tables of guests sitting in the inn hall, some of them looked like business travelers, and some of them were going south with their families, and they could hear the accent of the Northland.

The food provided in the inn is home-cooked, and the dishes they ordered soon came up.

During the meal, Tianfang looked at the guests who appeared in the inn, and it seemed that there were not as many as expected, and he couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

His questions were quickly answered.

At the next table were two chatting guests.

The voices were clear and audible, and they didn't mean to shy away from it.

From their conversations, it was learned that the area south of Nanhua Town was not as prosperous as the market near the north of the town.

Just as Tianfang thought, they saw that the inn's business was indeed relatively deserted.

Tianfang recalls standing on the street of Nanhua in the town when he first entered the town, and the direction of the flow of people was the same as that mentioned when the two guests at the next table were talking.

There are many to the north of the town.

The guard leaned closer, lowered his voice and said to the sky: "Lord, since this is the case, let's go to the Zhenbei Market in a while, it is lively over there." ”

Tianfang frowned and nodded slightly.

The two guards exchanged glances with each other, looked at the sky and whispered, "Lord." Do we need to inquire directly in town? ”

It's a straightforward approach.

"If you've lived here, you've probably seen it!"

When the guards spoke, they talked about the little sister of the Lord, so they had to speak carefully, so as not to upset the Lord.

Tianfang was looking into the front yard. Looking through the window at the big trees in the yard, and the well at the bottom, the young man at the inn by the well platform was carrying water.

Tianfang watched as he slowly lowered the bucket in his hand to the bottom of the well.

Hearing this, Tianfang suddenly turned his head to look at the guards and said, "No matter how small the town is, there are many people who come and go every day. ”

He whispered, "I can't find out." Unless she's done something special here. ”

Tianfang thought about it and continued: "If she acts alone, she will definitely be very cautious, and most likely she will deliberately hide her traces." ”

The guests at the next table spoke speculatively, and the two of you said a word.

Tianfang listened to it for a while, and the topic was all about the transaction in the north of the town.

Even if the guards didn't take the initiative to mention yì, Tianfang stayed in the town, so he naturally had to go around.

After eating quickly, Tianfang still wore the same attire as when he came, and walked out of the gate of the inn with the escort, and walked in the direction of the north of the town.

Get out of the inn. The two guards did not dare to step forward to disturb the heavens, and the three of them walked silently forward through the small alley.

Although they had already arrived in Nanhua Town, they couldn't guess what the Lord was thinking at the moment.

Maybe the lord himself has no clue, so he will walk around the town for the time being, and on the one hand, he is also waiting for news

The streets of the town are full of pedestrians, and from time to time horse-drawn carriages pass by.

Unlike pedestrians heading north, most of the cars on the street are heading east or southwest.

Because the northeast direction of the official road is the direction of leaving the town and going to the northland.

There are not many cars staying in Nanhua Town, and most of them are going to Beidi, or they are coming from the north to Suzhou.

The day is placed in the crowd to pass through. I was surprised to see a lot of people in the same costume.

It was not yet dark at this time, and there was no way to hide it, and more than one man with a hood on his head like him had seen him on the street.

The heavens are in front, and the guards are behind. Walked for a while in a row to observe the surrounding scene.

Compared to Tianfang's seemingly casual and leisurely appearance, the guards were more vigilant than him, huddled in the crowd, and occasionally glanced at the people passing by them.

Of course, that includes those of the alien race

A gap between stops at a tea stall. Tianfang glanced at the pedestrians passing by on the street, and turned his head to look at the guards.

The two were whispering, "I heard that the village I passed before entering the town, when I was eating in the inn, was evacuated because of the flood. ”

"Not only that, but a lot of people were moved away at the time of the earthquake."

The companion chimed in.

Sensing that the sky was watching them, the two smiled wryly.

"Lord, if you go to the Northland, do you think there will be a disaster over there?"

They knew that the fighting in the Northland had been interrupted by the earthquake, and both sides were busy pacifying the victims and providing relief.

For the same reason, it was agreed to put the fighting on hold for the time being.

The words I heard earlier aroused the guard's thoughts, and I subconsciously had an association.

Hearing this, Tianfang lowered his head and thought thoughtfully, then raised his head and looked at the guard and said in a deep voice: "It's really hard to say, it's too late for you to regret it now." ”

The corners of Tianfang's mouth tugged slightly, and he said in a somewhat casual tone: "When you get to the north, there is no way back." ”

Tianfang then added: "The earthquake is not small-scale, and the destructive earthquake may be implicated in the surroundings. ”

The guards hurriedly glanced at each other, their backs were cold, and they hurriedly said, "Lord, we definitely don't mean that. ”

"It's okay," Tianfang said in a gentle tone.

In his opinion, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages!

When I arrived at the north of the town, the sky was gradually darkening, and the flow of people on the street seemed to be much more lively than the south of the town.

Tian Fang walked down the street, looking at the items for sale on both sides.

Many people are visiting the market from now on.

The reason? Naturally, it is because at this time, when the stall owner is about to close the stall, it is the best time to make a counteroffer.

However, they didn't have the idea of buying here, they were just passers-by who came to see it.

Raising his eyes, Tianfang looked halfway through the market, and several aliens happened to gather at the mouth of an alley.

Out of keen intuition, Tianfang's gaze focused on those people in an instant, and there was an indescribable feeling.

He thought for a moment, and made a gesture for one of the guards who followed him to explore the way

From entering the mountain to the present, I have walked a lot with the tsundere boy, and changed direction several times during this period.

Now I didn't expect to walk in the cave for that long.

Looking at the faint light ahead, the time was slowly approaching dawn.

I didn't sleep all night, and it was not easy to think about the man we tracked down who escaped from the alien camp.

That person should be familiar with the road conditions in the mountains, so he will not get lost when rushing in the mountains.

Thoughts flashed back, and his eyes gathered on the faint light and shadow not far away, is the exit finally coming?

I don't know why, but when I think back to the mountain trail I walked before, I always feel vaguely uneasy.

It felt a lot like when I was in the Misty Forest, maybe it was my hand on that self-defense weapon.

The boy walked ahead of me, and he took out the long dagger he was carrying before I did, and it seemed that they all felt the same.

For the unknown environment ahead, there is anxiety in my heart

The light in front of me gradually expanded, and I was about to reach the exit of the cave.

I'm still very excited.

After a night of traveling, lurking, trekking, either physically exerted or mentally stressed, I felt a joy that I was about to see the light.

However, the teenager in front of him gradually slowed down.

He seemed to have some kind of concern, and the more he got to the exit, the more obvious the concern.

I looked at him suspiciously, just wanting to ask what was going on!

Hearing the sound of the wind in his ears, the boy suddenly stopped.

The exit was in front of me, and he stood in the way, and as I walked around, the boy immediately reached out and grabbed me.

As far as the eye could see, the mountain wind passed by, and I was shocked!

What a cave exit, clearly on a cliff!

To be exact, we are on the cliff of a deep ravine!

Fortunately, the boy has always been ahead of me, and if he had rushed out recklessly just now, he would have stumbled and fallen into the deep ravine.

"What's going on, eldest young master?" I looked blankly at the boy and asked, "What about the one who ran away?" “

The young man paused, turned to look at me and said, "Xiaoling, he went down to the bottom!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and my mind didn't react yet. (To be continued.) )
