Chapter 64: Peeling Back the Thread

Looking at the guy next to me, I didn't say a word, and I really regretted it. 『』

Can I not regret it?

Putting yourself in such a passive situation.

In the morning, when I was still at my mother's house, I should have been more sensitive.

At that time, I should have asked for more information about the terrain and routes in the deep mountains in this area.

At the very least, you need to know the distribution of nearby mountain trails.

When I came out of the misty forest, I didn't know anything about the road ahead.

The feeling that the truth is in someone else's hands is unpleasant!

I regret that when they were chatting and talking, I was talking to my aunt about some inconsequential things.

After thinking about it for a while, I continued: "Young Master, did you already know that Huya Village over there was dangerous, or did the uncle tell you something else when you were in the courtyard in the morning?" ”

Although it was difficult and the other party did not intend to respond positively, I still tried to get closer to the key points in order to understand more.

Hearing this, a trace of helplessness flashed on the young man's face again, and it was not a good feeling in my heart.

By the way, what the hell is that guy hesitating about?

What I didn't expect was that the boy didn't answer me immediately, even when I asked, but turned closer to the shelf by the fire.

He took down the two fish that looked almost baked on the fire.

"Xiaoling, let's talk about it while eating."

Looks like it has to be consumed!

The boy reached out and took the branch of the tree wearing the fish in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, as if to make sure that the fish was ripe.

It was windy and rainy outside. His movements are elegant.

After making sure the fish was cooked, he reached out and handed me one of them.

I hesitated, but I couldn't resist a hungry word. Or take it from him.

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the triumphant smile on the young man's face, and he was even more annoyed when he looked at it!

I didn't eat it, and looked at the tsundere boy in a depressed way, my eyes stayed on his face but I didn't speak.

What the hell is this guy thinking? I can't guess what he was thinking.

"Xiaoling, the question you asked is not something I want to hide," the young man's face was slightly hesitant.

What is that?

He lowered his head and took a bite of the fish in his hand. He said in a light tone: "The male owner of that family told me that this area has not been peaceful recently. “

I stared at him for a moment, staring at him for a moment. What's not a rule of law?

Uncle is talking about the fact that the war in the north is close, and the problem is in the mountains at this time, even if it is going to be fought, it doesn't seem to have much to do with such a remote place!

It's not peaceful in the mountains?

A flash of doubt flashed in my eyes. Several thoughts flashed through the young man's mind for a moment.

The boy paused. continued to look at me and said: "Xiaoling, in fact, he also said, if there is something, it is best not to stay in the mountains for too long, let me take you to the official road earlier." ”

It sounds like it has nothing to do with the war, what he said is official!

"Although the situation in the north is also tense, the war has not started. Maybe we'll be able to finish and leave before the big war starts! ”

I looked at him hesitantly, suspicious. I don't know how to answer for a while.

Of course, what he said makes sense, the problem is that it is different from the plan, not to mention that I have a gut feeling that the team is unusual, and I am curious about Longyuan Lake.

Could it be that the strange situation they are talking about is only related to the deep mountains, and if you look at it this way, the misty forest, as well as the nearby routes, seem to be boring?!

"Xiaoling, you also saw that there were human traffickers coming to trade just now," the young man finished speaking, his eyes swept over and looked at me and continued, "I let you choose, I don't want to go down the road that you may run into strangers, in order to avoid trouble." ”

"That's it?"

I don't think it's that simple! What's more, the point of the teenager's conversation, why can't I catch it!

After a while, not only did it not solve the question in my heart, but it made the situation more complicated and passive.

There is no one around me who can solve my doubts, this guy knows more things than I do, but he is unwilling to tell the truth and has reservations.

"In order to avoid trouble, Xiaoling, just like I didn't make a move before, I wanted to know the origin of those people at first."

The young man lowered his head and smiled faintly: "But even if this is the case, I can guess probably, not confused." “

I looked at him and took a deep breath, trying to calm my mood down, and then asked, "Young Master, do you know who they are?" ”

I was a little surprised at this, how could the teenager know?

The grumpy driver was recognizable and rememberable, a Sealand man, I'm sure.

The guide beside him, the one who facilitated the transaction and blew the signal, too.

"The alien ones don't count, the outfits over there look too obvious."

I thought about it and quickly declared, lest the tsundere boy fool me with a few random words.

If the boy goes around the sky and tells me something about the alien race, what is the difference between saying it and not saying it?!

After all, those two are people of different races, everyone can see it!

I have to admit that whether he changed the subject or talked about it deliberately, I was equally interested in that group of people, so I had to follow his train of thought.

"On the other side of the line, you see people from the Sealand army?" The boy whispered.

I was startled for a moment, looked at the tsundere boy with wide eyes, and asked, "What are you talking about, the people in the Sealand army, the two who trade with the aliens?!" ”

I confess that the news shocked me, but the question is that I immediately thought, how could he be so sure of being a man in the Sealand army?

Where can the tsundere boy be seen and on what basis?

I immediately approached, grabbed him by the sleeve and stared at him and asked, "You make it clear!" ”

The boy glanced at me and said in a low voice, "The fish has to be eaten while it's hot, it's not delicious when it's cold, Xiaoling." ”

I was so angry that I felt powerless to punch the cotton, and I froze for a few seconds, but I couldn't screw him after all, and under his gaze, I sat down with my head down.

"How's my craft?" The boy looked at me and smiled.

"The fish that the eldest young master of the Yuwen family personally grilled. Can it not be delicious? Even if it doesn't taste good, I'm honored. ”

I replied to him stiffly.

The boy leaned in to me and took a closer look at my face.

He was too close to me. I feel uncomfortable again!

Leaning to the side, I moved away from him.

The boy saw my thoughts, smiled casually, and he quickly finished the fish in his hand, walked back to the fire again, bowed his head and continued to operate.

This man is unhurried, and he is not in a hurry to explain it to me.

I wanted to know. But looking at his appearance, I don't know how to ask.

Hey, that's it, eat first and then wait for him to speak. Think about how to talk for a moment.

This time, the boy's movements were more skillful than before.

After a while, he handed over the fish in his hand again, looked at me and said, "Xiaoling." You eat slowly. Beware of fish bones. ”

A very familiar sentence, it seems that I heard him say that last time.

I bowed my head and took it smoothly, didn't look at him, and continued to deal with the fish in my hand

The heavy rain outside had been falling, and looking out of the window of the broken temple, the sky and the earth were vast.

By the time the rain fell, we were already in the temple, and it had been raining for about half an hour.

The rain doesn't seem to be decreasing. At this rate, it seems that he can only give up the plan to go to Huya Village to confirm.

God doesn't give you any help. In fact, you have to go back to the official road after going around in a circle?

How could I have a feeling of unwillingness, I sighed in my heart.

His eyes turned out the window, with a hint of confusion in his eyes

The road in the mountains was indeed not easy to walk, as the guards on the ship had guessed.

A few guards who followed Tianfang quietly north were very good at riding, and it was not a problem for them to travel at night or take the mountain road.

They set out from outside the southern city of Zealand and ran all the way through mountain trails and through dense forests in the mountains.

In the second half of the night, the fog in the mountain gradually lifted, and the shadow of the small city in front of me could be faintly seen halfway up the mountain.

According to the plan of Tianfang, the team taking the water route will stay here for two hours.

Ships heading north from Sealand's South Pier should have someone following them.

Therefore, when I arrived at the dock of the next stop in the small city, I had to change the ship for Mr. Bai and go to the sea country.

The rest of the troupe would be picked up from the dock by the arranged boat in the morning, and they would also make a detour to the sea country, and their destination would be the same.

There was an agreement between Tianfang and the troupe owner, and they arranged their way.

Tianfang himself will only make a short stop in the small town he will arrive at at the next stop.

On one side of the waterway, there is a "stand-in" in charge, and on the other side are several guards led by Tianfang himself.

It's also a team that goes north.

The distance between the two teams is enough to distance themselves and to hide their whereabouts.

Unless, the man didn't even anticipate this, then if nothing else, he would have the same men in the town.

If this is the case, Tianfang is riding on a horse, his brows are furrowed, and he is still thinking about countermeasures

At dawn, their team entered the city, and Tianfang and his guards found their settlement in the small city, rested for a while, and received a message from the flying pigeon.

After rushing to the road in the middle of the night, when he entered the city, Tianfang had a trace of fatigue on his face.

He and a few guards turned one street in the town, followed the stone bridge to another, and soon found a place to settle and pause.

There is already news waiting for him!

One of the guards who followed Tianfang withdrew from the house, walked outside the courtyard, looked at his companion and asked, "The letter that the Lord received just now was sent by the brothers on the ship?" ”

Hearing this, the companion nodded and said, "Before leaving, our lord has already made arrangements. ”

"What is written in the letter?"

The gaze of his classmate swept over his face, and he said calmly: "It must still have something to do with Nancheng's affairs." ”

"The Lord has been sending people to investigate, and the news all points to the same person."

The companion pursed his lips and looked at the guard.

"Who?" The guard was surprised and asked, "Is it still that son?" ”

"That's right," the companion replied affirmatively, "I know what you're trying to say!" Although we used to join forces when I was in the national capital, and things were very smooth, but now it is different. ”

"As soon as the situation turns, we have multiple opponents." The companion's tone was very emotional, and the expression on his face was a little complicated.

At that time, doing things in the national capital city was indeed a very tacit understanding and a happy cooperation.

"Do you think it's difficult?" The guard asked tentatively, observing his companion's expression.

"It's difficult, the Lord must be concerned," the companion gestured with a gesture, and watched him move his mouth silently, "Little junior sister"

The guard pondered for a moment and said, "If it really has something to do with him, will we also have tails along the way?" “

"Take the waterway, the lord has long expected that there will be a boat to follow, as for us, it's hard to say whether we follow or not after going around the mountain road."

The companion paused, turned his head to look into the room, then withdrew his gaze and said softly, "There may be more arrangements in the city." ”

"Let's get out of the way as soon as possible."

The guard immediately spoke up.

"Whether you told me about this matter or not, it depends on what the Lord plans to do next." The companion lowered his voice and said, "Right now, the Lord should be thinking about this. ”

The two of them walked a few steps into the courtyard and stopped under the tree to wait quietly.

The person in the room will make a decision about the problem, and all they have to do is carry out the task

The guards who were waiting in the courtyard heard a noise coming from inside the house, and someone immediately walked over.

Not long after, one of the guards left the house and walked all the way to the docks in the small town.

The rest of the people will soon have to follow the heavenly release and continue north.

Inside, the door was open, and Tianfang beckoned the people in.

Several guards who were silent in the courtyard walked quickly to the door of the room and entered one after another.

Tianfang handed them the letter from the flying pigeon and circulated it, while he looked down at the map on the table.

After a while, he said in a light tone: "The ship that should be changed at the dock has already been arranged, let's set off immediately!" ”

Clean up a corner of the main hall, and the rain outside is a little lighter.

Depending on the weather, maybe the rain will disperse later.

The sullenness in my heart dissipated a lot because of the delicious grilled fish, and I slowly walked to the window and looked out, and the young man behind me was making a fire with a branch.

Even if I don't look at him, I know what he's doing.

"Xiaoling, come here." He said behind me.

I immediately turned around, and this time, walked up to him and sat down to look at him.

I decided to listen to him, and I didn't ask for it yet, if he wanted to say, I listened!

"Xiaoling," the young man said in a deep voice to me, "You asked me earlier, how can you be sure that one side is from the Sealand army, right?" ”

I froze, then nodded.

As the boy spoke, his eyes fell on my face.

Making eye contact with me, he looked at me and frowned, "Xiaoling, you must have been patronizing to see the scars on his face and the old wounds on his ears, yes or no?" ”

I think it's weird, how does the tsundere boy know where I'm looking? How did he know?

Thinking about it, I was relieved again.

Change to a stranger, speculate on the identity of the other party, and the focus should be similar to mine! (To be continued.) )
