As they spoke, the two looked at each other. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Indeed, if you are the king of a country, you don't even have this kind of acumen in the current war......
Then her seat can be regarded as the end of the seat!
During this period of time, the area around Northland Town has not been peaceful at all.
The last earthquake caused damage to the area for a time, killing and injuring local people, and damaging roads and bridges.
The exhaustion of all these details forced the opposing armies on both sides of the Northland to interrupt the fighting and temporarily devote themselves to disaster relief.
It's not just about earthquakes...... The times are turbulent, and people's hearts are fluctuating!
Now that the rulers of Sealand have arrived here, of course they must seize the opportunity before the war.
When they all arrived in the town, the empress still had to arrange the manpower in time, and the arrangements everywhere were all right?
Even if it was far away and there were omissions before, the empress could take advantage of this time to rearrange it.
The man at the table looked at his companion and said, "I also find it strange that you suspect that a third party is involved. ”
After thinking about it, he said in a solemn tone: "Could it be that while the two sides are in a big war, the aliens or other forces hidden in the shadows plan to fish in troubled waters?" ”
"It's not impossible."
"It's just that it's hard for them to get started...... Not to mention that there are many precautions on the princess's side, there are actually arrangements in the area of Beidi Town under the jurisdiction of the empress. ”
"Look at the checkpoints we came over along the way, the level of meticulousness of the inventory, if you don't have a token in hand, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to clear the customs."
The person at the table stared at his companion and said, "I am familiar with the battlefield in the Northland, and I have also witnessed the investigation at the entrance of the town, but if the center of gravity of the hidden forces is not in these two places, have you ever thought about it?" ”
When his companion heard this, he looked at him and said in amazement, "What do you mean by ......?"
...... Another table on the second floor left after eating.
Running away from the few people, he finally walked to the table he noticed again!
The runner in the store looked at the person who had just ordered and smiled: "Are you satisfied with your meal?" ”
"Do you need two more dishes to this table?"
Seeing their slightly surprised eyes, Runtang said that he might have disturbed the other party's conversation, and couldn't help but smile apologetically.
Then he straightened up, looked at the guests and explained: "There are a lot of people downstairs at this time, and the cook in the stove is not so busy!" ”
He said in a sincere tone and with an enthusiastic attitude: "If you add two more dishes, you will be ready to serve them to you soon." ”
As far as the eye can see, the few dishes placed on the table have been eaten by the two guests.
Actually, this is not surprising.
The dishes in the restaurant are clear, and the guests who come to eat sometimes eat up the dishes on the plate without realizing it.
The two of them were talking and eating, and they were interrupted by the running hall before they noticed the plate on the table.
Ran Tang looked at the two people sitting at the table with a little expectation, and his eyes passed over their faces one after another.
The one who spoke earlier thought about it and said to Runtang: "Okay, just follow what you said, two more plates." ”
He told him again: "Remember to let them move faster." ”
Rantang nodded and left.
After taking a few steps, he glanced back.
After a few conversations, I was able to tell exactly who was sitting by the window...... Definitely not the inhabitants of the Northlands.
The accent of the other party talking to him when ordering food twice sounded obvious, as long as you pay attention, it is not difficult to notice.
Coupled with the sound of their talking, they can also hear a few words from time to time when they run upstairs to deliver food.
...... Seeing the running hall leaving, the person sitting opposite looked at his companion and frowned and asked, "I said...... What's going on with you? ”
The companion's tone was understated, and he said nonchalantly: "It's nothing, it's just an extra dish." ”
After hearing this, his expression looked very uncomfortable, paused, and thought for a while before looking at him and said, "Didn't you say that you would leave as soon as possible before you came to dinner?" ”
"Why did you change your mind again?"
"It's okay, it's not long since we've been here," he paused and continued, "Just sit down a little longer before leaving!"
As his companion spoke, his expression softened.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he looked at the person sitting opposite him, and continued: "By the way, you can also look at the pedestrians on the street." ”
"It's not often that kind of opportunity for us...... I think it's kind of interesting! ”
"I don't think, I'm afraid I'm missing the business if I stay too long, after all, our mission is to deliver letters in Northland Town."
"Didn't you see the people passing by on the street?"
His companion looked at him and lowered his voice, "Do you think there will be the next one?" ”
...... The mountain people rode a horse with one of the Yuwen family's guards to lead the way.
The boy rode behind with another guard.
Along the way, you will pass several treacherous mountain trails, and there are bottomless cliffs on both sides, which is simply terrifying to watch.
Fortunately, the people of the Yuwen family can be regarded as having undergone many experiences.
The guards looked at the treacherous terrain in the mountains, and they were not panicked, but it was inevitable that they would beat the drums in their hearts.
The young man followed behind and specially reminded the guards in front: "Since you are leading the way in front, you must be careful." ”
It was rare for his little master to open his mouth and talk to himself with concern, and the guard was a little flattered.
He was stunned for a moment when he heard the young man speak, and then hurriedly looked at his little master and responded, "Yes, it will be." ”
He paused, and added, "Young Master, don't worry." ”
The mountain people pointed the way, and their horses were sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
When they passed through a forest by the stream, they saw that there was a narrow path ahead.
Tightening the reins and stopping, the mountain man looked at the young man behind him and said, "Ride through the forest in front of you at most, and pass by the path next to the waterfall." ”
"Speak clearly!"
The guards on the side faced the mountain people's road.
"Passing from the path next to the waterfall...... After walking for a while, you will see a hillside, and over the hill is the place I am talking about. ”
The mountain people said a few words in succession, and at the end of the day, they said in a worried tone: "Can I just take you down the hillside?" Because of the road ahead, I ......"
Hearing this, the young man glanced at him, and then said in a calm tone: "You take us all the way to the hillside, and you don't have to lead the way down the mountain." ”
"When you get to a high place, you will definitely be able to see the terrain ahead," the young man frowned, glanced at him again, and said in a soft tone, "When the time comes...... Naturally, I'll let you go, and I'll give you the rest of the money. ”
The mountain people hesitated for a moment, and after thinking for a while, they finally gritted their teeth and said, "Okay, I'll take you to the hillside." ”
"When the time comes, I can see the misty forest ahead, and I'll be able to go."
The guard's eyes fell on his face, and after seeing his expression clearly, he couldn't help but interject: "Hey, the road you led used to be walked by yourself, right?" No problem? ”
The mountain people were a little stunned, and then said in an affirmative tone: "I am familiar with the roads in the mountains in this area. ”
He said in a sincere tone: "Although this shortcut is taken few times, I am more careful every time I come back, so I remember it clearly." ”
As he spoke, he also turned his head and glanced at another guard of the Yuwen family.
The mountain people looked at the two of them, both of whom were kung fu people.
As for the little young master, judging from his reaction, the mountain people should be no exception, otherwise how could he choose such a dangerous path to walk without being timid?
The further they go, the longer they spend together, the more the mountain people feel that these people should be people who can't be offended, and of course they have to honestly show them the way.
The people of the mountains were afraid that if they saw that something was wrong, they would bring disaster to themselves.
In other words, since he is walking on the road of the wilderness, there are still three people on the other side, and he is weak, and there is a difference between the two sides.
If the other party really kills him, there won't even be a rescuer nearby.
The mountain people had already thought clearly in their hearts, and at this time the guard asked questions, and he said in a firm tone: "Don't worry, I will never dare to deceive you, it is indeed the road I have walked by myself." ”
The guard turned his head to look at his companion on the horse, and then his gaze swept over his calm little master, and said to the mountain people: "You just said that it is inconvenient to ride a horse ahead, in this case, we will come down when the time comes." ”
As they spoke, they passed through the forest that the mountain people had spoken of.
Sure enough, as soon as the horse turned and passed the path, I could hear the sound of a waterfall in the forest in the distance.
Looking up and looking at the surroundings, the surrounding area is foggy and visibility is extremely low.
The mountain people looked at them and said, "The area around the forbidden land in the deep mountains is like this, and the fog does not disperse all year round. ”
The guard asked, "Is it because of the waterfall and the hot springs in the mountains?" ”
The mountain people nodded and responded: "It's probably because of these two reasons, we rarely think about it, because we've been used to living here for a long time." ”
With this kind of terrain, it's easy to get lost.
The guard couldn't help but think in his heart, in his opinion, the misty forest that the mountain people said might not have any mysteries.
Maybe it's just that they are afraid, so they don't dare to go too far when they look at the misty forest.
Before the war in the Northlands began, the mountain people here were actually able to meet their needs in the areas they were familiar with and could hunt.
There's no need to take any risks.
I went very few times and hardly set foot in it, so the deep forests and thick leaves of that place seemed particularly mysterious, and over time, all legends came!
The guard turned his mind to the point where he felt that his own thoughts made perfect sense.
Later, he looked at his little master and said in a soothing tone: "Young master, after we go down from the mountain, let's go to the edge of the forest to find out!" ”
"If it's okay, just go inside!"
The young man nodded and said calmly: "That's exactly what I meant." ”
The mountain people led them all the way to the path, and the horses they rode were left behind in the nearby woods.
Then the boy hurried along with two guards and the mountain people until they reached the hillside.
The young man's gaze swept ahead, and he saw the misty forest, and he had an indescribable feeling when he looked at it.
There are very few people in this area, and the forbidden area is almost a no-man's land.
When they did get here and saw the terrain in front of them, it was not difficult to understand why the mountain people thought this place was a little strange.
Speaking of which, the fog that shrouds the forest can indeed obstruct the view and potentially trap people inside.
The guard turned to look at the mountain people and said, "Isn't it just the fog?" Are you all afraid to go in because you don't know the way? ”
The mountain people shook their heads and said: "No, it's definitely not just fog, there are more than one waterfall in this area, and there are also similar terrains, but this forest is, it's just very strange!" ”
As he spoke, a hint of horror flashed in his eyes.
The memory of being trapped in the forest in the past is very unpleasant, and it makes people feel scary to think about it.
The young man has spoken first, and he has already led the way here, so naturally there is no need to force the mountain people to stay.
His eyes swept away, and the guards beside him immediately walked over.
The guard approached the mountain man and handed him the rest of the money, saying, "Just bring it here, and we'll walk the rest of the way on our own." ”
"You can leave too."
The nervousness of the mountain people eased a little as they took the money handed over by the guards.
He clutched his purse, turned his head and took a few steps, then suddenly stopped.
The mountain people looked at the guards and said, "Be careful, that forest is really dangerous. ”
"If it doesn't look right, it's better to leave!"
After saying that, he didn't look at the reactions of the three of them, and quickly ran down the mountain.
Looks like he's planning to take the path and get out of here.
The guard looked at the back of the mountain people in surprise, and muttered, "Is it really that terrible? Or is he scaring himself! ”
"Young Master, what do you think?"
The two guards exchanged glances and looked at their little master.
At this moment, the young man stood under a big tree, looked at the misty forest at the foot of the mountain in front of him, frowned and did not speak.
He looked at it carefully for a moment before he said, "It's not that it's good to take a look, at least you have to go into the forest to explore, and then talk about it later!" ”
The boy walked down the hillside with two guards until he reached the edge of the forest.
When he stopped, he saw that there seemed to be a fork in the road leading to the woods.
It means that there is more than one path that can be taken.
The boy recalled the situation when he drew the map, and couldn't help but take out the map and inspect it, and the two guards approached together.
The topography of this area was indeed marked in general terms, but it left a far more impressive impression on him than in other areas of the Northlands.
The boy put away the map, and there was a vague feeling in his heart.
He felt that the path he was going to take this time was probably the right one!
"Keep up, don't be left behind!"
Without looking at the two guards following him, he was the first to walk into the forest.
...... The cave passage still looks narrow, and it has been a long walk.
The guard raised his eyes to look at the figure not far away, and Tianfang was at the forefront of the three-person team at the moment.
Since he entered the passage, although there have been moments of pause and temporary rest in the middle, the general direction has never changed, and he seems to insist on going forward.
The guard turned to look at the other companion behind him.
The man made a quick gesture at him.
It means let him continue to follow Tianfang, don't ask questions and don't question.
The small movements of the two of them, Tianfang, who was walking in front of them, never looked back, but he had some points in his heart.
Different from his calm demeanor, there are also doubts in the peace of mind at this moment! (To be continued.) )
