Chapter 167: A Sensitive Topic
When I ran closer to take a closer look, I realized that something was wrong, and it was different from what we imagined!
The tsundere boy uses very terrifying powers when he breaks down roadblocks and clears the rocks. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's not the first time I've learned this power, but this one is exceptional.
Because the road has reached a critical point.
If you don't use all your strength, I'm afraid you won't be able to break through the obstacle in front of you.
The boy is well aware of this, so he must do his best when he contributes.
This is the premise, but at this moment, as far as I can see, the rocks in the cave are blocked, and under the action of his destructive power, only one layer has been removed.
That's right, just one layer!
Not to mention me, I'm afraid even the boy himself didn't think of the situation in front of him.
In other words, it is as if the barrier in front of us has only advanced a little, but it has no tendency to collapse.
It occurred to me right away that this meant that the rocky layer blocking the passage was very thick.
It may be much more than we had previously anticipated.
I have to admit that this is really bad news for us!
I couldn't help but muttered in my heart for a moment.
It took so much effort to break through only one layer of barrier, and there may be a second or third layer inside......
The problem is that there are constraints, so how do we estimate them?
If it's me, no, I'm part of this makeshift team right now!
Whether or not I can open the road depends on whether I can get out of here!
I don't like Uncle Decline to misunderstand the relationship between me and the tsundere boy, and I look forward to going my own way when I get out of here.
I plan to put aside the diaphragm in my heart for the time being, that is, I am still full of hope for the road ahead.
I think it's just a ride anyway, even if there is a misunderstanding, after all, it's not a long-term partner, and I can ignore some things.
If there is a new change in the situation, which I don't like to see at all, it means that I may not be able to get out of the cave passage so smoothly.
Faced with problems, disappointment, and depression, I subconsciously shifted my gaze towards the teenager.
I took a deep breath, put aside the feeling of loss in my heart, raised my head to look at him and asked, "Young Master, what should we do?" ”
As soon as I looked at him, I was startled, maybe it was because of the small place, so his body, hands, and arms were cut by rubble in this operation.
I had been paying attention to the rocks before, and I didn't focus too much on him, and the light wasn't too bright, so I didn't fully see the appearance of the tsundere boy.
Now that I see it, I'm shocked!
The point is that the person standing in front of me didn't care at all.
He wasn't even interested in looking down at the wound on his body.
The tsundere boy frowned and stared ahead, as if his mind was drawn to the position blocked by the rocks, as if none of his own injuries existed.
Seeing this, I suddenly felt helpless, didn't this person feel pain?
I stepped forward and gently patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "Young Master, let it go here for a while, don't be busy looking at the barricades first, your injuries need to be treated." ”
The situation in front of me is clear, and I can't rush it.
...... After the guard finished talking about the words that he had been thinking about for a long time, the eyes of several people in the room focused on Tianfang's body.
They were expecting the day to put down the order or have a response, but the latter was silent and turned his eyes out of the window again.
Tianfang stared at the mist-filled official road and the nearby mountains and forests for a moment, then turned around and said unhurriedly: "I have my own plans, you go and rest first." ”
Sounds a bit perfunctory...... The guards looked a little disappointed.
Originally, they thought that after the discussion, they would bring it up with Tianfang, but what they were looking forward to in their hearts was definitely not the current situation.
It's not that Tianfang didn't pay attention to their proposal and caused a loss in their hearts, but their entanglement still comes from the hidden danger that will be buried in the secret next mission.
Since he was in the deep valley and moved his hand to obstruct it, when he arrived in the north, the other party's identity was not exactly ...... When the time came, the Sealand army became his support.
Compared with the other party's appearance like a fish in water, the weak Sea Kingdom guards inevitably felt tricky.
Far away from the country, it is on other people's territory, under the rule of the Empress of Sealand, she has been restrained in doing things, but the other party is still such a strong force.
Why is the goal of both sides focused on the same person, the little junior sister of the Lord, so far I haven't even seen a trace!
At this point, the guards didn't even know how to continue.
After they greeted Tianfang, one by one, they walked out of the house with a look of loss, and did not bother their master anymore.
Perhaps, as the words say, he has his own opinions, and he should come up with a way to deal with it.
............ Several of the guards withdrew from the house and walked all the way to another empty house in the inn.
Several people sat and stood in the room, and it took a long time before they spoke again.
The guard shook his head and looked at his companion and said, "This time I came out with the Lord, and I couldn't guess the Lord's mind at all." ”
His companion met his gaze and smiled, "I won't tell you, I'm the same." ”
"Come on, I said a few more words earlier, and you told me a lot."
The guard glanced at his companion and said with some displeasure.
"Before leaving, the brothers in Suzhou told me that the Lord has been in a bad mood during this time," the companion said in a deep tone, "but since I received the last message, I have confirmed that the little sister is in the mountains, and I seem to be a little happier when I look at the Lord." ”
"I didn't expect it...... Halfway to the end of the journey to bite the gold! ”
The two injured guards listened to their conversation, exchanging glances from time to time.
The guard then asked his companion, "It seems that we will not be allowed to go north overnight tonight, and the Lord will send a message to the brothers in the north, right?" ”
"Didn't the Lord say that he has his own opinions?"
The companion said affirmatively: "With our lord's personality, since we have told us so, there will definitely be a plan, you can rest assured." ”
The guard couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and he couldn't help but snort.
"I, what am I worried about!"
After a pause, the guard lowered his voice and said, "It's not my little junior sister." ”
The Lord had an idea in his heart, and he couldn't listen to what the guards said, but he didn't know what he was thinking at the moment.
The companion walked to the window, looked beyond the courtyard of the post station, and looked at the people coming and going on the official road from afar.
...... The man standing in front of the window didn't move slightly until his footsteps outside had disappeared.
Tianfang moved very quickly, and when he came out of the post station, the whole person's appearance changed slightly.
In the small courtyard next to the post station, the shop that provides meals for business travelers.
Coincidentally, the people of the caravan that the guards had also met happened to come out of the store at this moment.
One came in, and a group of people went out, and they met in the courtyard some distance away.
After a full meal, the caravan seemed to be in a good mood, and when they left, they also took the cooked food packed in the store and continued to eat on the way.
In fact, when the guards came to look for Tianfang, they didn't come empty-handed.
At that time, they were thinking about things in the house, and when they came, they had things in their hands, and when the sky swept their eyes, they knew what they wanted.
Therefore, as early as when he was in the inn, Tianfang had already seen a similar crude food box that the caravan people were carrying from the door of the store.
Tianfang lowered his eyelashes and did not make eye contact with the group of people, and he also avoided the side for a moment, allowing the group to go out of the courtyard first.
Waiting for them to get on the horse, the car to ride, Tianfang looked at them from a distance, and looked at the group of people in the caravan from a distance.
When the sound of footsteps and axles on the official road was far away, Tianfang retracted his gaze and slowly walked into the store.
There weren't many customers in the store at the moment, less than when the guards were there.
After entering the door, he took a general look, picked a small table against the wall, and sat down.
After seeing the things ordered by the surrounding guests, Tianfang directly ordered two simple home-cooked dishes, plus a pot of tea and steamed steamed buns in the store.
As soon as you walk in, you can smell the smell of lamb and the aroma of the various dishes ordered by the customers.
This is a smell that can often be smelled in restaurants and restaurants, in Suzhou, in Nanhua Town, and also includes the small shops next to the post station here.
When Tianfang was waiting for the food, his eyes were always fixed on the place in front of him, but his ears did not let go of the movements around him.
When he heard the guests at the next table complaining about the noise of the caravan before, the corners of Tianfang's mouth raised slightly.
............ Tianfang sat at the small table, quietly turned his head, and glanced at the people who were talking.
They were dressed in clothes similar to those of the people of the caravan that had departed, and their faces were those of the people of Sealand.
Tianfang listened to the other party's accent, it was from Xilannan.
He knew this very well, because he had just finished dealing with the case in the south of Xilan, and he had rushed all the way back to Suzhou.
At that time, when I was in Sealand, I used to hear familiar accents when I was questioning and walking on the street.
It's as easy to distinguish as the voices of the guests at the next table right now.
Not long after, the young man in the shop brought some food for the day, and he sat there eating while listening to the customers at the next table.
They seemed to have been drinking, and were said to have been sitting for several hours.
They dislike the cold inside the inn, which is not as warm as the stove in this shop, and the atmosphere is more lively, and people come and go, which is in line with some people's preferences.
After complaining, a guest at the next table instructed the young man in the store, "Add two more dishes and a pot of hot wine." ”
Tianfang glanced at the things on their tables, and at a glance he knew that they had not been idle for several hours.
The people in the south of Zealand like the people in the north like to drink, but in the capital there are more people drinking tea than drinking.
The territory of Sealand is not small, spanning the north and south, so there are actually quite big differences in the customs of various places, such as the food is more obvious.
Being able to drink wine from the north means that those guests from the south of Zealand have been in the north for many years, or are merchants who frequently travel between the north and the south.
"I heard that this time Wang Shi directly bypassed the official road and took a shortcut?"
The guest at the next table was talking, lowering his voice and pulling on to something else.
In extraordinary times, this is obviously a sensitive topic.
No matter how low his voice was, the rest of the customers in the restaurant, those who were eating and drinking, all looked away.
A few of these people don't look quite like the people on Sealand's side.
"Shhh, don't talk about this, it's not good." The guest at the same table immediately spoke to stop him, he looked around, pressed the back of the man's hand and patted it, "We're on the way, don't cause trouble." ”
"Big brother, what are you afraid of, the people in those caravans just now have said a lot, let's just say a few casual words, and there are no officers and soldiers here......"
The tone of the speaker was nonchalant and authentic.
"Who told you that there were no officers and soldiers, but they didn't wear those clothes, and you didn't see those people before?"
"People come and go, big brother, which group of people are you talking about?"
The one who spoke had a look of confusion in his eyes, looked at the one who was drinking at the same table and stopped him, and lowered his voice and said, "Did the eldest brother say that he brought an entourage or the people who came with him?" ”
"Both."
"No, where are so many officers and soldiers, even if there are, they should follow Wang Shi's team, how can they stay here alone?"
The person who spoke thought about it, rolled his eyes and looked at the older one at the same table and said, "Big brother is looking away, the one with his entourage doesn't look like our Sealand at all, but like ......."
He paused, trying to find something to say.
But when he thought about it like this, he found that Pingshui met one side...... The man's face was really blurry, and it belonged to the kind of appearance that could not be remembered, and would be ignored if it was left in the crowd.
In retrospect, it was a shadow of a blurred look.
They noticed that person because he looked like a practitioner.
That kind of cold temperament will invisibly give people a certain deterrent effect.
He was stunned for a moment, and didn't answer for a while.
Tianfang, who was a short distance away, quietly cast his gaze, saw the expression on the man's face clearly, and frowned slightly.
He said with his retinue...... Isn't it......
Tianfang was thinking about it, and the young man suddenly walked from behind, still holding a plate in his hand, but it was several small bowls arranged neatly.
He stepped forward and smiled at the sky and said, "The master in our store said that the weather is cold, and this bowl of hot soup is delivered." ”
The person who suddenly appeared interrupted Tianfang's thoughts, he took a bowl from the tray, and then looked at the young man and said with a smile and a gentle tone: "Thank you." ”
The young man shook his head, and then ran to greet the guests at the other table.
Disturbed by him like this, Tianfang's gaze subconsciously followed the direction that the young man left! (To be continued.) )
