Chapter 40: Preparations for War (3)
"Today's task is to inspect places outside the imperial capital where there are rumors of night raids. During the day we were divided into four groups, me and Seleuc, Chiyu and Black Hitomi, Tazmi and Will, and Lan and Porus. In the evening, I was in a group with Tazmi, Will was in a group with Seleus, and everything else was the same. Early the morning of the day after the bandit colony was wiped out, Estes gave everyone a new mission.
Qian Yu glanced at Estes in surprise, he also thought that Estes would take this opportunity to be in the same group with him, and then go outside the imperial capital and directly deal with him.
Now it seems that Estes didn't just want to kill him......
Could it be that after finding his handle, he will be arrested and returned to the imperial capital to torture him openly in front of Bude? Or is it ......
Sure enough, the brains of people who shake S are not the same world as ordinary people, so it's useless to think about it.
Qianyu shook his head, he couldn't think of anything even if he thought deeply about the current situation, anyway, it didn't hurt to look at it.
Everyone left the conference room one after another after forming a team according to Estes's order, and Qianyu had just stood up when the black pupil was already standing behind him.
"Black Hitomi, where are we going next?" Qianyu turned his head and asked.
The black pupil carried his hands behind his back, thought sideways for a moment, and then raised his head to look at Qianyu: "It is the middle of the western jungle on the periphery of the imperial capital, and it is said that someone has seen the appearance of suspicious characters in the jungle, so we are responsible for going there to have a look." ”
"Let's go, do you need to prepare anything?"
Hitomi shook her head and patted her waist with both hands, signaling that she had brought what she needed.
Sure enough, there are snacks in the eighth room......
"Yes......" Qianyu also had nothing to prepare, so he turned around and walked out of the conference room, and the black pupil also walked out of the conference room after him.
Keeping a short distance from Qianyu, the black pupil bit the biscuit in her mouth, silently recalling what Estes had said to her alone.
"Today's solo action, you and Qianyu are in a group. In the course of the operation, you pay attention to it, if Qianyu does something inappropriate, bring him back, even if it's just a corpse. ”
"Because if I had arranged for him to be with me, that guy would have refused. And out of all of them, only you can kill him. ”
The black pupil "clicked" the biscuit, and the sweetness gradually poured deep into his throat.
Vice-Captain...... A person who is not an imperial envoy but is stronger than most of the imperial envoys, is it really like the captain said, will he be an enemy?
When he was about to walk out of the palace, the corner of his clothes behind Qianyu was suddenly pulled by the black pupil, and he couldn't help but turn around in confusion and look at the black pupil who was holding a biscuit:
"What's wrong?"
Hei Hitomi bit down on the snack and stretched out his finger to point in the other direction: "You're going wrong." ”
"Huh?" Qianyu was puzzled.
"The corridor is over there." The black pupil put his hand behind him, leaned forward slightly to look at Qianyu, and there was a hint of doubt on his face, "Do you want to go?" ”
Qianyu, who hadn't thought about this layer at all, scratched his head in embarrassment, and then said hesitantly: "That...... I've never ridden a horse. ”
The little face of the black pupil stiffened, and he actually sighed: "Unexpectedly, you are also unreliable in appearance with you." ”
Qianyu: "......"
In the end, he still made the choice of riding a horse outside the imperial capital, but it was the two of them riding a horse together, Qianyu sat behind Hei Tong, looking extremely embarrassed and unnaturally stretched out his hand to put his hand on Hei Tong's waist, and under Hei Tong's skilled horseback driving skills, he galloped all the way to the outside of the imperial capital.
If this is a youth romance novel, maybe Qianyu will successfully set up the flag of the black pupil, and the two start a happy and beautiful love.
In fact, nothing happened.
rushed to the jungle outside the imperial capital, and followed the path all the way deeper, and finally Hei Hitomi and Qianyu stopped, and Hei Hitomi pointed to a slightly steep mountain peak not far away and said, "The place that the captain said should be there." ”
Qianyu glanced at it, where the trees were not sparse or dense, but he couldn't ride a horse to get up, so he jumped off the horse first and said, "I can only go up." ”
Hei Tong also turned over and dismounted, looked at the back of Qianyu as he began to walk away, bit the biscuit in his mouth slightly, and gradually stroked the eight rooms hanging horizontally behind his waist with his right hand.
The blade unsheathed slightly, and the cold light overflowed with it......
If the vice-captain is really as strong as the captain said, he is really an enemy......
"Black Hitomi, why don't you leave?" Qianyu turned around in confusion, only to see the black pupil biting a cookie in place, and holding another cookie in his hand, like a greedy little girl who forgot to catch up in a daze because she was eating snacks.
After hearing Qianyu call her, Hei Hitomi put the biscuit in her hand back into the small cloth bag, and slightly quickened her pace to keep up with Qianyu's footsteps.
"Vice Captain, if you encounter a night attack, I feel like you'll be pulled back." The black pupil smiled slightly, walked beside Qianyu and turned his head to say.
"Do you feel like I'm weak?" Qianyu didn't refute, just asked indifferently.
"Sa~ It feels like this." Black Hitomi turned his head to look ahead, and said softly, "It's just that the deputy captain of the hunter is definitely not such a weak person, right?" ”
Qianyu shook his head and laughed at himself: "My strength is okay, but if I encounter a night attack, I think I can save my life." ”
"Just...... Is it life-saving? The black pupil muttered, and the corners of his mouth quietly hooked up an unknown arc, "True or false...... Who knows? ”
Almost halfway up the mountain, looking down through the gap in the not-so-dense trees, you can only see a large area of emerald green, and the outline of the imperial capital looming in the distance.
Qian Yu's footsteps paused for a moment, looked at the top of the mountain that was still half high, and shook his head: "I really don't think that we can find traces of the night attack by walking around like this." ”
Hei Hitomi took out a cookie from her small snack bag that had not shrunk again, and said nonchalantly, "Originally, the information was not accurate enough, and it was really difficult to find someone." ”
Immediately, the black pupil looked left and right, and his little face showed a hint of puzzlement: "But, in a jungle like this, why haven't you even seen a dangerous species?" Normally, even near the periphery of the imperial capital, there are many dangerous species, but here it is a little too quiet. ”
"Could it be that the night attack is really around here, cleaning up all the dangerous species, right?" Qianyu said jokingly.
"Both, cleaned up?" The black pupil slowly muttered these words, held the eight chambers in his right hand and slid out of the scabbard, and said calmly to Qianyu, "Then ......"
The cold knife flashed in a flash!
PS: The second shift finally caught up, and I sacrificed all my time outside of work...... Hmm~ I'm so hungry!
