I had never met that man head-on, but I could tell from his actions that he was confident. Romance debut~,

Some of the marks he left behind, when you think about it, do seem strange.

As I said earlier, the man's escape seemed quite methodical.

This should be more than just my experience.

I'd wanted to ask the tsundere boy before, including the cover up that man made at the mouth of the cave.

I followed him all the way and felt a strange feeling as I watched him run away right under my nose.

"You mean he's familiar with the nearby terrain and his escape route is planned?"

The boy looked at me for a moment, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"That's right." I didn't hesitate to respond.

I looked at the tsundere boy, frowned, and muttered to myself, "Young Master, don't you think it's strange?" ”

As I spoke, I sighed and stared at the rock wall of the cave beside me, and remained silent for a long time.

I'm thinking about how I can express my thoughts faster and more clearly.

"It's a fluke that he came out of the alien camp," I tried to ease my tense expression, barely smiling, and whispered to the tsundere boy, "but you also told me that he might have a means of self-defense. ”

I deliberately emphasized: "The means that will enable him to leave the camp without interfering with the others!" ”

I thought about it and sorted out my own thoughts.

After I thought clearly, I continued to the tsundere boy: "Young Master, it can also be understood that he is the same as us. Be cautious when walking outside. “

The boy nodded subconsciously and looked at me with deep eyes, as if guessing what I was going to say next.

A smile tugged at the corner of my mouth. He slowed down his tone and said to him, "But judging from his escape, it was by chance that he was caught in an alien camp. “

"In my opinion, it can't be what he planned."

"His means of self-defense can be understood as preparation for danger."

"In fact, no matter who you are, when you feel that your personal safety is threatened, you will use it."

I looked thoughtfully at the road ahead, watching the winding path in the cave lead to the front. A thought flashed through my mind.

The man ran away, there must be the next exit, so what would be the scene on the other side?

I withdrew my gaze. He continued to the tsundere boy: "He came out of the camp and ran down this road without hesitation, how did he know that the people in the camp would not chase here?" Can he be sure? “

"Well, even if he's not sure. But there are some things that are still surprising. ”

The tsundere boy met my eyes when he heard this. Didn't open his mouth to look at me.

"Young Master, especially here in the cave, do you think he will seal the intersection, in case the other end is blocked," I tilted my head and thought about it, and made it clear to him, "Isn't that person cocooning himself?" ”

He seems to be too determined, and he doesn't think about another layer of consequences.

As I see. When something goes wrong, there must be a problem.

I want to think about it. It seems that he has sealed the entrance to the cave by accident, and then comes in to find that the chances of another way out are very low.

According to my explanation of him, it sounds more reasonable.

The man who escaped probably knew more about the terrain in the mountains than the people of the other race!

Besides, he is not from the Sealand army, nor is he a mountain man, but the tsundere boy told me personally.

It sounds too discordant for such an ordinary person to strayed into the mountains, to be prepared, and then to be caught by someone of a different race!

Hearing this, the young man lowered his eyes and was silent for a few seconds, then raised his head again to look at me and said, "Xiaoling, the person we saw in the tree doesn't look like a Sealander. ”

"You say they're alien?"

Although I didn't understand the meaning of the young man's new topic with me at this time, I decided that I should follow his train of thought and ask first.

"Okay, you and I have suspicions," I looked at the boy for a moment, lowered my eyelids and thought for a moment.

The cave was silent, and for a moment I could only hear the sound of me and his breathing.

"Big young master, at this time, the person has already run from the other side anyway, and we may not be able to catch up," I was silent for a moment, raised my head to look at him, and then said in an affirmative tone, "We might as well calm down and sort out the information we currently have." ”

I said to him, "You speak with me." ”

The corners of my mouth tugged slightly, with a somewhat casual tone, and I looked at the young man and said lightly, "Young Master, no matter what, the wisdom of the two of us is always more than one person." ”

The three stinkers are also Zhuge Liang!

I am convinced that the two of them think together, and he has a different perspective from me and has a wrong focus.

The difference in cognition just helps me find the flaws or clues in it.

"Frankly, look for any clues lurking inside," I said bluntly to the tsundere boy, "and decide what to do next!" ”

"We can't spend our time in the mountains."

I looked at him intently, with a helpless smile on my face

"The mission to the Northland is the most critical event, and everything else can be put aside for the time being."

After thinking about this, I added: "Young Master, where do you think the place where Master Wang will stay at this time will be close?" ”

I knew they were on their way, slower north than I had thought to be, and I didn't know what was going on in the army, and I didn't know where they were staying right now.

I thought about asking the tsundere boy if he would solve my puzzles or analyze them with me this time?

With that, I looked up at him again.

The young man's expression looked very uncomfortable, he paused when he heard the words, and after thinking for a while, he responded to me in a gentle tone: "Xiaoling, you should have passed Nanhua Town, and you are going north at this time." ”

"It is estimated that the place where they will stay will not be too far from the official road."

He was silent for a moment, then continued, "The greatest possibility." They would stop in the heart of the valley near the official road. ”

"Where there are mountains and rivers, temporarily stationed."

My eyes fell on his face and I could see the tsundere's young man's expression. The hand hanging by his side shook gently.

Think about how far away that person is still from me!

At the moment, I am deep in the mountains, and when I reach the Northland, I still have to look for opportunities.

I retracted my thoughts and glanced at the boy.

I pondered for a moment, then said to him with a faint smile on my lips, "That's right, it's exactly what I thought." I think so. ”

I've looked at the map from the past section of Nanhua Town, and I can tell the number of places on the way north.

I asked myself if I was more honest with the tsundere boy.

In addition, the map can be seen, and it was thanks to him at the beginning.

Hence the time for conversation. I'm also very clear

In the courtyard of the Chengdong house in Suzhou, Tianfang stood in the courtyard, looking at the flowers planted by the people below.

The last time I came to Suzhou, I sent someone to carefully decorate the house.

It's a pity that to this day. The only people who had entered that room were the guards.

His gaze glanced over the adjacent courtyard wall.

Houses in this area of Suzhou. The houses of large families are concentrated in the eastern part of the city.

It seems unusual for Tianfang to know that the family next door is unusual, but there are all kinds of signs that they have an ongoing relationship with the south of Sealand.

This point was especially confirmed after meeting those people at the dock today.

Did the guards sent out to investigate have time to come to a conclusion before leaving Suzhou?

Tianfang is still waiting, waiting for their investigation.

After about a quarter of an hour in the courtyard, he slowly approached the study in the courtyard of the house.

He sat down in his place, flipped through the letters on his desk, and waited quietly.

Tea was delivered for a second round. Soon a guard returned.

He first went to the courtyard and whispered a conversation with his companion. He then walked outside the study.

Stopping at the door, he took his nerve and then reached out and knocked on the door.

There was no response in the house, and the guards hesitated for a few seconds, and when they were about to knock again, Tianfang's voice suddenly sounded: "You come in." ”

The guard pushed the door open and immediately entered.

He walked over to the desk, about a foot away.

He looked at Tianfang, who was sitting at the desk, saw the tiredness in his eyes clearly, and whispered, "Lord, our people sent out and inquired about some news. ”

Generally speaking, it is not very difficult for the guards to listen to the news, but the people next door are also a little different from the average big family, so it is more difficult.

After using some means, after contacting the people under their family in a row, they can be regarded as sorting out a line.

Because the two are close to each other, there is an advantage in terms of distance.

It's so close that you can always hear some movement.

With the Lord's instructions, the details that had been overlooked were picked up and filtered again.

From the large-scale purchase of items by the people next door that they met when they first came to Suzhou, to the fine food and clothing next door, such as the delivery of mountain spring water, the delivery of ingredients in restaurants, and other topics that have caused a small discussion.

After Tianfang picked out the question, the guards reviewed it one by one at the bottom.

"Let's just say it, don't beat around the bush." Tianfang put down the teacup and looked at him.

He wants to know the most useful clues, the ones that are most closely connected to the center of his attention, so that he can judge what to do next.

"Yes, Lord, they are indeed from the south of Zealand." The guard's tone was affirmative.

"They just arrived in Suzhou today, and they went ashore around the same time as us."

"Just a little later than us."

On the docks, everyone has seen it!

Tianfang looked at him and gestured for him to continue.

The guard lowered his head and said, "The little master of the house next door arrived a few days ago, but then he left Suzhou." “

Hearing this, Tianfang glanced at the guard in surprise and said, "Where did you go?" ”

"I heard it went north."

The guard couldn't help but say a few more words: "Their news is also tightly sealed, I don't know what they are afraid of, but there is more than one person in the house." ”

"So, there's always some clues coming out."

"If the source is correct, the little master of his family should go to the Northlands."

The guards noticed that the room was becoming quiet, so quiet that it was a little unsettling, and they had always feared a similar situation in the heavenly place, especially when one was facing the Lord.

This is the hardest time to endure because the next words are even harder.

"A few days ago, their little master took in a friend to live in his house temporarily."

"Our people carefully asked each other about their appearances."

Hearing this, Tianfang's gaze once again focused on the guard's face.

"The people in the house said it was a boy, but his face was extremely delicate," the guard's eyes flashed, "There were some rumors in the courtyard, and later the steward said in private, saying that his little master met on the way to Suzhou." ”

The guards said several words in one breath, but the tense atmosphere lingered and lingered.

"There are also rumors in the house that the man helped his little master on the way."

"And then?" Tianfang stood up from his desk and looked at the guard, asking.

"Lord, when the man heard that he had left all of a sudden, I don't know why, as if he had gone in the direction of the North."

The guard quickly raised his head and looked at Tianfang's expression, and immediately lowered his head and said, "So the little master of their family chased after him, and he also got rid of the guards who followed him and acted alone along the way. ”

"Their guards were so anxious that they told them all after returning to Suzhou."

"The housekeeper of their family specially sent someone to go directly to the post station along the official road, planning to wait for the little master of his family to appear, and find a way to stop him when the time comes."

"Because the little master left in a hurry, there are still many things in the house that no one decides, and even the business related to Suzhou and Beidi has been delayed."

Tianfang looked at the guard, and his voice couldn't hear joy and anger: "Does his little master have a letter?" “

He quietly looked away from the guard, glancing at the map on the wall.

"Yes, I heard that there are," the guard paused as he spoke, pinched the corners of his clothes with his hands hanging at his side and continued, "The little master of his family said that when he arrived at the next stop, he would naturally have the opportunity to meet, so there was no need to worry." ”

Tianfang frowned, and the guard continued: "The next stop they said is the next stop in the direction of Nanhua Town to the north. ”

"According to the itinerary, most of the guards who are tracking should have met his little master, but they haven't seen him for a long time."

"So, where was the last time you heard from him?"

The satellite cable swept over the map on the wall, walked over, pointed out a location to Tianfang, and whispered, "This is the area." ”

In the northeast of Nanhua Town, there is a large area of lush mountains and forests, and the terrain is complex!

Tianfang looked at it in a daze for a few seconds, then waved to the guards: "You go down, wait for half an hour and set off." ”

The guard walked out of the study quickly, and the moment he closed the door, he couldn't help but reach out and wipe his forehead.

In the middle of winter, I was sweating when I reported the situation to the Lord just now.

He sighed, and walked in the direction of the courtyard together to meet his companions who had hurried up to meet him in the courtyard.

Leaving after half an hour, they always had to make some advance preparations on the way, and they had to hurry to finish it
