Chapter 172: Can't keep up with the train of thought

After a few seconds, I looked at the boy and responded, "That can't let you knock at will!" ”

I had an idea, and I suddenly remembered what he had just told me. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

I immediately raised my voice a little and said to him: "Young Master, you said it yourself, my head is not smart enough." ”

"I think you might get stupid if you beat too much."

As soon as I said that, I regretted it.

It's like I'm cheating on myself.

Sure enough, the tsundere boy looked at me in the next second.

He stared at me and said with a smile: "Xiaoling, since you can say this reason, then you admit it?" ”

“......”

I blushed a little and turned my head away from him.

I thought about it, straightened my back, and decided to return to the most important topic.

"Young Master, you just told me that there is another way, is it true or false?"

There was a hint of uncertainty in my tone, anyone else would think the same way I did.

The boy's previous attempt to clear the barricades is still vivid!

Counting how long it hasn't been apart, he's thought of another way?!

"Xiaoling," the tsundere boy glanced at me, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly in response to me, "It's okay to talk about other things, when have you seen your master joking about business!" ”

It was a high-sounding statement, but my heart instantly settled down a little because of what he said.

Reasonable!

Although the tsundere boy is sometimes not in tune, and the two of us seem to have repeatedly argued over trivial matters along the way, but in the control of the general direction, the tsundere boy is indeed a qualified backbone.

As the central figure in the temporary team, he always takes care of the safety of his teammates.

When he encounters difficulties, he has always rushed ahead by himself, and will never withdraw his teammates to resist.

Thinking of this, my face softened a little, and the eyes that looked at the boy softened a little.

After all, there are a lot of places that he has taken care of along the way!

After thinking about it, I looked at him and asked in a slower tone, "Young Master, what other methods did you say...... We all want to know. ”

As soon as he said that there was another way, not only me, but even Uncle Decrepit cheered up, staring at him with two pairs of eyes.

When it comes to what we should do next, the roadblocks in front of us are already a fact, and we must always think of a way to deal with them.

Uncle Ying pursed his lips, and when he looked at the tsundere boy, he still looked nervous and expectant.

We really didn't come up with a better solution, so when I consulted with Uncle Decrepit, I reluctantly suggested that we might have to go back, and so it seems so far.

"There is still a way to go."

As soon as the young man's words came out, I was stunned, turned my head to look at the dark passage, and then turned to the young man, and said in a depressed tone, "This is the other way you said?" ”

Please, we've been discussing this for a long time, what's the point?!

Is there a difference between saying it and not saying it? He's kidding us?

"Xiaoling, I haven't finished speaking, don't worry!"

The young man's eyes focused on my face, looked at my expression and smiled, "You don't have to go too far, it's just a ride." ”

A thought passed through my mind, and I raised my head to stare at the boy and asked, "You said, don't you want to go from the waterfall?" ”

I can't seem to think of a place where it could be a second pathway.

At least when I think about it, it seems that there is the most likely flaw over there, but the problem still exists!

The problem is that there is a deep pool at the bottom of the waterfall.

All we could see was a steep cliff and a cave passage blocked by a waterfall.

If it weren't for the extraordinary skills of the young man, Uncle Decay and I wouldn't even have the ability to cross the waterfall and continue walking!

That area...... There doesn't seem to be a second channel!

I looked at the tsundere boy with doubts in my eyes, and I didn't know how to ask for a while.

Turning his head and glancing, Uncle Decrepit was standing on the side, almost the same reaction as me.

We didn't know what the tsundere boy was trying to say, but we just felt that there was something wrong with his statement.

After all, we all walked together along the way, and we all saw the scene he saw!

I said that there was no other passage to the waterfall, and that was indeed what I had seen.

For a moment, the atmosphere became silent.

...... The guards came out of the room where Tianfang was and went all the way to their temporary resting place.

A guard stood at the window, watching the movement on the official road and in the courtyard.

They saw Tianfang come out of the inn, and they saw him turn into the small courtyard next door, and almost collide with the caravan people who came out of the store.

They watched the whole time to avoid the few people, and then entered the store and never came out.

The guard standing at the window glanced back at the two wounded companions who were sitting there resting, and the guard who always spoke much less than himself.

He lowered his tone a little and said, "The lord went to the store after all, he wants to see the guests who stayed there?" ”

The companion on the side responded: "The Lord has been in a bad mood since he withdrew from the deep valley, and I am afraid that he is going to drink alcohol at this time." ”

Without waiting for the guards to continue, he continued: "Let's not hurry tonight, the Lord wants to relax!" ”。

Hearing this, the guard sighed, and couldn't help but show a melancholy look, and he slowed down his tone: "It's a pity that we can't help a few people at all. ”

He spoke with an apologetic look, everyone is the same, when facing their own master, they always hope to help Tianfang share some of the burden.

It's a pity that it is indeed more than enough to have more than enough strength.

Such a calm and powerful opponent is difficult for even the Lord to deal with, let alone their guards!

"Hey, you say, should I go to the store to see the Lord, I don't know if I'll get drunk at this time!"

The guard hesitated for a moment, looked at his companion and said, "It's really not good if he drinks alone over there!" ”

"You should be you, the Lord has already said in person that you will go after dawn, and you must be measured."

His companion glanced at him and said in a low tone, "Maybe it's not the same as we thought." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

The companion answered: "The Lord may have found some suspicious person entering the store, and it is unknown if he wants to go in and inquire under the pretext of eating." ”

"In the middle of the night, there are not many people on the road, and even if there are, they are all caravan people, where are there any suspicious people!"

The guard muttered in a low voice, looked at his companion with a little displeasure, and said, "I think it's better to go and see the Lord." ”

With these words, the guard left the ledge, intending to go out, but his companion moved very quickly and immediately stopped him.

"What are you doing?" The guard glared at his companion.

"Listen, there is movement in the way."

As soon as the companion's words came out, several people in the room moved.

Several of them gathered by the window and looked out.

Sure enough, there was movement on the official road, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and it was a small group of people who stepped through the night and came in the direction of the post station.

"Is it a caravan? It doesn't look like so! ”

The guard whispered, "I didn't see the carriage pulling the goods, but it looked like a person in a hurry." ”

His companion's eyesight was better, and after a while, he looked at the group of people who were approaching, and saw the general appearance of those people by the light from afar.

In fact, he was already a little suspicious in his heart at first, and there seemed to be a little shadow of riding skills......

After seeing it clearly, his companion replied calmly: "It's a foreigner, it seems that this group of people is rushing to the north." ”

The direction was clear, there was only one road here, and it was almost certain that the group was going in the direction of the north.

The guard glanced at his companion and continued, "Are they in a hurry?" I'm in such a hurry in the middle of the night, look at the speed of horseback riding, it's very fast! ”

The companion was silent and did not answer immediately, but kept looking in the direction of the team approaching the station, and did not take his eyes off.

His companion looked and made a gesture, and the guard took a step closer, and he slowed down to the pedestrian, and in the blink of an eye he was outside the inn.

"Are they going to rest here?"

The guard's mouth suddenly opened in surprise: "There are not many aliens who stop and rest at the post station!" ”

Indeed, he was telling the truth, at least tonight when the guards stayed here, they had seen aliens in the shop in the courtyard next door, but they only stopped to eat.

The companion said calmly: "Not necessarily, maybe it's similar to the people we saw before, let's see." ”

The guards' eyes swept over the official road ahead, and after a while, they saw the gang dismount.

That's right, as my companion guessed.

They went straight to the shop in the courtyard next door.

Judging from the movements of these people, whether it is riding or dismounting, it can be seen that they are practitioners.

The guards glanced at each other, each reading something in each other's eyes.

After a few seconds, his companion continued, "When we get to the Northlands, we should meet more people like this." ”

The situation is clear, everyone knows it, and when they get to the north, it is really a mixture of fish and dragons, and anyone may meet them.

Coupled with the rumors heard along the way, plus the messages sent by the Haiguo guards in front, they were all warning them in advance.

The trip to the bottom of the valley was not without gains, at least when facing the situation in the north, I felt it first.

For the guards, the son who is behind the scenes is the military advisor who stands on the side of the empress!

...... The window was open, and the cold mountain breeze blew in.

The guard shrank and said, "These people are on the night road, they must be choking on the cold enough, and they must have to eat and drink." ”

He was right, most of the guests in the inn were resting, but the lights of the shop next door were still on.

Looking out of the window where they stood, they could even hear the faint sound of talking.

It means that the store is still quite lively at the moment.

Their lord was in the shop, and suddenly the aliens who came on the way also entered the shop, and it was even more lively.

The guard looked at his companion again and asked, "You really don't need to take a look?" ”

The companion shook his head in silence and gestured for them to continue watching.

It's not the first time that the guard has come up with an idea, but unfortunately every time he is stopped by his companions, he is also a little depressed.

"Could it be that this shop is opened by someone from the post house?"

The guard remembered and changed the subject, and then remembered that the post station was next to this shop, and couldn't help but think.

On the one hand, it is safer, and on the other hand, it is indeed easy to attract business for the store.

Another reason is that this place is not next to Zhuangzi, and there are uninhabited areas in front and back.

The post station and this shop are quite eye-catching.

The guard thought for a moment and continued: "There aren't many aliens we met along the way, and there are still practicing families like this, and there are even fewer teams that set off neatly. ”

"You can't have come out of the camp over there, right?"

A thought flashed in the guard's heart, and he suddenly remembered what he saw in the mountain, looked at the rest of his companions and said, "If it's really from over there, don't we need to go and find out the news?" ”

"The Lord has been in the shop and has never come out," the companion replied with a deep groan, "and I'll wait until the Lord returns." ”

Stopped again!

The guard glanced at his companion, and one of them left the window, walked to the chair in the room, and sat down.

The companion did not speak or move, and always stood at the window looking in the direction of the store in the courtyard next door.

This atmosphere of silence lasted for quite some time.

Waiting in the room, the guard sitting on the chair almost fell asleep.

As he waited, the other two wounded guards left their positions by the window one after another.

Only my companion stayed there and watched the movement.

While the rest of the group was sleepy, their companion said in a deep voice, "They're leaving!" ”

The guard sitting in the chair moved quickly to the windowsill, and sure enough, he did exactly what his companion said.

The group came out of the shop, got on their horses, and continued to ride north.

The guard frowned and said, "You guessed it right, it's really just a meal, so it's important, I'm busy rushing to the Northland." ”

After a pause for a few seconds, the companion said, "Master Wang is already approaching the area of the Northland, if these people are going to help, it is indeed urgent." ”

"You may be saying this to help the princess, I don't think it'......"

The guards were opposed, and he was a little annoyed when he had been repeatedly thwarted by his companions.

It's a pity that he couldn't finish and was interrupted by his companion!

"Then they have to hurry up, they must reach the north faster than Master Wang, needless to say!"

The companion cut off his words with a faint tone.

The guards were speechless.

...... In the cave passage, I looked at the tsundere boy and asked, "Young Master, what kind of method do you think you want ......?"

He threw down the words that had left us, which gave us hope, and then disappointment, but he seemed to be unable to finish his words.

"Xiaoling, along the way, did you find anything wrong?"

The boy's sudden question was very abrupt, and he couldn't keep up with his train of thought.

What do you mean by something wrong, can I say it's weird everywhere?

Or maybe I want to say that the boy looks like he has realized something, but he doesn't want to tell me directly.

This guy is still selling off at a critical moment! (To be continued.) )
