Chapter 159: The Haunted Personnel

The guard thought for a moment, looked at him and said, "Our young master said a word. ”

"Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people!"

"The same applies to Sealand's army."

He said a few words in succession, then his tone changed, and he looked at his companion and said, "But look at it! ”

The Northland is about to go to war, and its own camp is not so solid and stable.

I can already see the cracks

This kind of situation is really not good for the empress!

"The impact on us is so great, let alone the empress!"

"This is the team she brought up single-handedly," the guard sighed, his eyes staring at the opposite wall in silent thought.

He didn't say anything for a while.

It was still a companion who picked up the topic again: "The war in the Northland has not yet resumed, and the situation has become not simple. ”

"You think the aliens are trading with the Sealand Army," he continued, after a pause, "what do you think they want to do?" ”

This is the most suspicious part, and I can't think about it!

"I really wish our young master was here."

At the critical moment, the first thing I missed was the one who everyone in the house had some slander in private.

It's not because of the other party's ability, but if you look at it this way, it's sometimes forgivable to have a bad personality.

At least the young master really has two brushes, which is much more useful than those who have a bad personality and are not good for the people under him, and they are not capable of anything.

"Although the young master doesn't talk much, he will always talk to us at this time."

The guards and companions glanced at each other, each sensing a hint of regret in each other's eyes.

Both guards understood the meaning in each other's eyes, and there were some things that didn't need to be said too thoroughly, everyone understood.

It's a pity that they are not the young masters of the Yuwen family!

The young master of his own family has a deep mind, and how many people can figure it out!

Just as they didn't expect that the young master would chase the guest who lived in the mansion in the east of the city to the mountains northeast of Nanhua Town.

The current position is really in the mountains, what the young master intends to do, which makes them even more confused, and their young master does not play cards according to common sense.

The guard and companion continued to converse in low voices, and the conversation revolved back around the previous aliens.

They knew some news about aliens, and although they didn't deliberately collect it, the Yuwen family had people in the Northland, so intermittent news would always come over.

Before the war between the two sides, the position of the aliens was not so certain so far.

At least there is no definite word on which side the aliens will be on in this war.

But on the surface, because the princess's fief is close to the place of foreign residence, in terms of the degree of intimacy, it must be that princess who has more advantages.

The distance is determined as if in the understanding of ordinary people, and those of different races should not be reluctant to seek the near and far!

Could it be that the people who are close to the territory of the alien race do not approach, but go to form an alliance with the empress?

However, the situation of the war has changed, and once the war starts, the empress will also have this account in her heart.

In addition, the Northland is the place where the most foreign races gather in the whole of Zealand.

Whether to show favor or let go depends on the decision-making level on both sides.

If one party promotes this relationship, the princess will not stop and sit still, and will definitely think of ways to deal with it with the strategists below.

In the final analysis, it is a tug-of-war and an exchange of interests.

If someone of an alien race serves the princess, he has negotiated the terms in private.

If they had hidden stakes lurking in the barracks on both sides, the guards had already imagined it.

Before them, there were already other people who had thought of the same thing as them.

Even if you think about it, you feel like a crisis is lurking.

After all, the unknown inside story is the most unsettling!

"After the trip to the mountains, the young master will come over to meet us as soon as possible, right?"

The guard asked his companion after a long pause, and his tone was suspicious, followed by his gaze fixed on his companion's face

The guests gathered around the round table finally finished the meal, and as soon as they left, the room was much quieter.

Because several groups of guests also left, looking up, it was the guards of the Yuwen family who were the most eye-catching.

The guy came out of the kitchen again, cleaned up the table and went back to pick up the food for the other customers.

In the interval between the guards' conversations, he retracted his gaze and looked at his companion opposite, "It's okay to leave in a while, we need to wait at the post station?" ”

"Now that we've chosen the location for the next meeting, there's no need to delay."

The companion's tone was calm and authentic.

"Just now you said that if the young master came back, he would give us some advice, but you also know that the young master has always said the same thing."

After deliberation, the companion said in a cautious tone.

His gaze swept over the guard's face, and he looked across him at the adjacent table behind him, slightly startled.

Compared to the noisy guests before, the two people at the small table seemed too nonexistent.

One of them looked like the people of Sealand, honest.

The face of the man sitting across from him was also so ordinary that he would never see much when thrown into the crowd.

But there was something strange about the man's clothes, and the dark clothes didn't seem to fit well, as if he had deliberately put on a wider garment to hide his figure.

Moreover, the companion noticed the man's hand, which was now holding the cup, and that hand seemed to be very strong.

In other words, the man knew kung fu.

Because I haven't fought before, it's impossible to estimate to what extent for the time being.

The Sealand man dressed as a coachman across from him looked too ordinary.

The two rarely spoke, but the Sealand man looked at the person sitting across from him with awe in his eyes.

His companion's gaze was fixed on that side, and the guard couldn't help but follow his gaze.

He didn't pay much attention to the two of them, because if he didn't look closely, he really couldn't see anything too special.

"Are you distracted? I'm not done with that sentence yet! The guard reminded.

"Well, those two are a little strange, one is not from Sealand," the companion whispered, "and the other looks like a coachman." ”

"I said before that I don't want to drink the bow and snake shadow, why did you come to the store to eat, everyone is suspicious!"

The guard's tone didn't care about the authenticity, he looked at his companion and smiled: "The post station haunts, everyone has it, it's already very chaotic!" ”

The companion frowned, thoughtful.

Taking advantage of this stall, the two people at that table also finished eating.

One of them, the one who his companion didn't feel like a Sealand at all, got up to settle the bill, and walked out of the gate first, while the other trotted all the way to follow.

The two of them left like a gust of wind.

The companion's gaze followed them all the way, and saw the two men get into a carriage parked under a large tree outside the inn.

I crossed the official road and left along the path that crisscrossed the mountains.

Looking at the direction, it is almost parallel to the official road.

But the companion knows that there are many forks in the road in the mountains.

Especially a trail like this, you can go all the way to either side, and you may make a detour and overlap with the official road.

These two people don't know where they're going?

First of all, they are not of an alien race, and secondly, they are not like ordinary people, of course, referring to the unidentified guy among them.

"Say you're distracted, and you can't get it back!" The guard said disgruntled to his companion.

The latter smiled apologetically and continued to talk to him.

From the time the Fu Steward designated them out of Suzhou City, it meant that they would be partners together.

On the way to the Northland, they will need to deal with what happens together for a long time to come.

The two of them have been in Yuwen's house for a long time, and their tacit understanding is higher than that of ordinary guards.

There are places to stop for a short rest on the way, so it is natural to spread out their thoughts at the right time to discuss.

"The news from our people said that it was something that happened in Nanhua Town, and the empress suppressed it for the time being," the guard looked at his companion and said in a sincere tone, "But the situation has changed, and I don't know what the empress thinks at the moment." ”

"The more you get to the Northland, the more likely it is that there will be variables."

"That's right," the companion nodded in agreement, "I think the empress is only temporarily suppressed, and it is impossible not to investigate thoroughly, and when the time is right, she must find out." ”

"What's more, the spirit of the army can't be dispersed, and the people in the team who trade with foreigners are actually officers, and there are soldiers underneath, it sounds like it's true."

"Under a thorough investigation, there will definitely be other people involved," the guard glanced outside the post station out of the corner of his eye, and then looked at his companion in a calm tone, "To be honest, I don't believe that Wang Shi has opened an opening, but only one person makes a deal with a foreign race. ”

"You're right, I'm afraid that more than one officer will be implicated at that time," the companion answered quickly, almost without thinking, "and even those under them will inevitably be held accountable if they are to be questioned." ”

"With such a big team as Master Wang, there are too many people in it, and it's not so easy to move the whole body with one hair!"

The companion paused while speaking: "I think along the way, at least there will be some moves in the open and in the dark." ”

He looked at the guards and said, "Didn't you say that the national teacher also traveled with the army, he would never let it go."

"If you don't deal with it, there is no remedy, and all kinds of unfavorable factors add up, and when you reach the Northland, I'm afraid it will be even more tricky."

"We'll have to leave the inn later," the guard said, glancing at his companion, and spoke again

After the rain, the temperature in the mountains has dropped considerably.

The makeshift fire in the cave resisted some of the cold, but you could feel it from the outside.

Feel the power of winter!

Even before we reach the Northland, the climate over there will be even colder.

The guards accompanying Tianfang were not worried about their life and resettlement after arriving in the Northland, they had already had their companions to prepare.

The team transferred by Tianfang from Haiguo was to complete the cooperation before leaving.

Counting the people who stayed in the south and those in Suzhou City, except for the four guards in the deep mountains, the rest were the teams sent to the north.

The group of people settled the house, prepared in advance, and waited for Tianfang to arrive with the people below.

They were no more prepared than the group of people in the east mansion of Suzhou City, and even the needs of the little junior sister were taken into account.

The guards did not say much to the heavens when they were talking, because they intended to make the Lord happy when they arrived in the northland.

But now that I think about it, I feel a little ironic.

Tianfang gave up searching in the mountains, will the little junior sister appear in the Northland at that time?!

The guards thought about it in their hearts, but a few people didn't open their mouths to mention it to Tianfang, and the words of their companion's warning were still in their ears.

Before leaving the valley, I don't want to bother my master with these troubles, unless he asks.

The guard silently made a decision in his mind.

After the break, the team walked a little faster.

The formation that was maintained at the moment was the escort brought by two uninjured Tianfang.

In the middle followed by Tianfang, and at the end of the line were naturally two injured people supporting each other.

They walked out of the dense forest, and the terrain was more open in front of them, and they could see the stream meandering through the trees.

The guards had long known that tracking down a person deep in the mountains was extremely laborious, and they had to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations.

For example, the temperature that is plummeting right now is one of them.

There is also a complex terrain ahead, and for the time being, I can only rely on the sky to act as a map.

After crossing the stream, we continued into the next dense forest.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Tianfang suddenly turned his eyes to a clearing not far away.

According to the direction they were going, there was no need to detour there, but Tianfang noticed something unusual, so he immediately made a decision to go and see it immediately.

After hearing this, the guards scrambled to go first, Tianfang shook his head and said: "The injured are still here, you are responsible for taking care of them, and I will come when I go." ”

He gave the order, and without further words, walked towards the clearing.

From the angle from which the guards stayed, you could see the back of Tianfang and the position he was trying to reach.

They exchanged glances, and the guards helped their wounded companions to find a temporary place to rest in the woods.

From time to time, their eyes still swept over the sky.

The heavens walked very quickly, and through the woods, they could see the figure of the Lord, through the cracks in the leaves.

It did look a little strange in that place, because there were no trees growing and the huge open space looked like it appeared out of thin air.

When he approached, he crouched down, picked up a branch, and scratched it across the dirt floor.

The location where he had stayed before was not real, but when he walked here, he could see that one side of the clearing was next to a hillside on the side.

His eyes swept around one after another, and Tianfang frowned and stopped there to think about it.

Seeing the Lord standing there in a daze, looking over from a distance, the guards began to talk in a whisper.

"What's the matter, why don't you go over and see the Lord!"

"No, the Lord said that we should wait where we are, and it is not good to disobey the order."

The mountain wind blew in the woods, and the two injured companions flinched, and they could already feel the chill.

PS: I'm going out for a few days, the plot transition will be relatively dull, and the big push is waiting for me to come back. (To be continued.) )
