Chapter 119 ter
"Go and see, today is more lively than yesterday." Zhang Qi ran back in a hurry to call someone.
"What's wrong again?" Meng Zhou asked lazily.
"Those people are tearing down the trap again, and there are a lot of people gathered over there." Zhang Qi described what he saw.
"Let's go see the excitement too." Meng Zhou couldn't wait to find out.
Wu Qi looked at Zheng Ke, and after Zheng Ke nodded, the four of them walked towards the gathering place.
When they got there, there were a lot of people around, but no one dared to step forward, and all of them were at a safe distance, observing the black-clad and masked people who came to dismantle the trap.
"Why are you tearing these down?" There are bold and persistent ones who ask the same thing.
No one answered, and the masked man paid no attention to the thoughts of others and concentrated on the task at hand.
"Hey, you're not from the Wing King, why hasn't the Wing King shown up until now, what are you doing hanging everyone here?" One after another, some people couldn't stop screaming angrily.
"Say, dumb!" The man who spoke was furious, and he couldn't help but take two steps forward.
Everyone present did not take their eyes off the mouth, and the person had crossed the line, even if it was only half the length of the sole of his foot, it was enough for everyone to hold their breath nervously in shock.
The man felt that something was wrong, and he was shocked into a cold sweat, and wanted to withdraw his outstretched feet and retreat into the crowd, but he was afraid of being laughed at by everyone, so he stood there straight.
"You were demolished by order of the Winged King?" The man felt that it was definitely not a good way to stiffen, so he had the courage to speak again to hide his deep worries.
"If we don't speak, we can come and go freely." The man was ruthless, took two more steps forward in full view of everyone, and had already gone out of the perimeter and stood at the place where the trap was dismantled, and exhaled when he noticed nothing unusual.
"It's fine." Whispering excitedly, the man grew emboldened, took a few more steps forward, walked to the nearest man in black two steps away, and waited for a moment. Nothing unexpected happened.
Although the man was happy in his heart, he did not dare to move forward, he had already earned enough face by doing so, and he turned his back to the man in black. Slowly walked towards the crowd, at this moment the sound of breaking the air sounded, and at the moment when the person turned back, the slender bamboo sticks that flew over grazed the man's cheeks and flew over, straight into the ground in front of the crowd, and sank into the ground.
The man suddenly felt that the side of his face was swept by the sharp wind, and there was a slight pain, but the skin was not broken, only for a moment, he even forgot to hide. Fortunately, he didn't shoot, and he was immediately afraid, his legs and stomach were weak and trembling, his face was even more pale, and he ran back into the crowd in three steps and two steps.
What is the meaning of happiness and sorrow? Everyone already has a preliminary answer in their hearts, not only to praise the person who took the lead for his courage, but also to be alert to his own carelessness, the bamboo stick in front of him next time is not the ground in front of him, it may be himself.
Someone has already helped everyone to feel sad, even if the trap is dismantled, it is not absolutely safe, and everyone pretends to have something in their hearts, and they do not stay for a long time and leave together one after another.
"Why do I think that bamboo stick is meant to warn?" Zhang Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked.
"Warn the man. Or warn us? Meng Zhou took over and asked.
"Without that idiot, we don't know the danger is still there." Zhang Qixu said: "Do you see which way the bamboo stick shot out?" ”
"I didn't pay attention." really ignored it, Wu Yue frowned secretly.
"Who's going to pay attention to that." Meng Zhou snorted coldly, "At that time, everyone's attention was attracted by that idiot, how could they pay attention to the details." ”
"Where we were standing, the trap had been dismantled, and it was impossible to trigger the trap." Zheng Cao confirmed at that time that there was no danger in choosing that position.
"Maybe someone saw it?" Zhang Qi spoke. "What's the use of seeing it or not, it's certain that you can't get out anyway."
"No one can step out of the trap that has been laid out, and no one can know if there is a trap other than the trap." Wu Yue clasped his hands on his chest and stopped.
"Guess what's not it." Meng Zhou impatiently kicked the stones on the road.
"It's better than not wanting anything at all." Zhang Qi sneered, "I don't want my brain to rust if I don't want anything." ”
"Cut, you're the most reasonable." Meng Zhou glanced at Zhang Qi.
"What comes to mind?" Zheng Ke asked Wu Yue, who stopped.
Wu Yue shook his head and said, "It's too messy to figure it out." ”
"Go back first. I've been thinking about it. Zheng Ke stretched his waist and said casually, "Fortunately, those people didn't forget to bring food, and it is possible that these people starved to death one or two." ”
"The Wing King is so generous, just for us people to eat, it's a lot of money, where can we get so much silver?" Zhang Qi's words hit the point.
Wu Yue and the three of them were stunned, they thought of a possibility, their eyes flashed, and they patted Zhang Qi's shoulder and praised their wisdom.
Zhang Qi was stunned and instantly thought of a certain key point, his face was tense, and he felt a little frightened.
The four of them glanced at each other, and they were all silent, this is not the place to speak, and they quickened their pace back to the place where they lived, which was safer than outside.
Returning to his own place, his guard relaxed, and after dinner, the four of them got together to talk about what he had just said.
"It is impossible for the Winged King to have silver for a large number of people to eat." Meng Zhou was the first to speak.
"The Wing King is deeply respected by the emperor, and even crossed the ancestral system." Zhang Qi took over the conversation and continued.
"Then there's only one possibility." The answer was about to come out, Wu Yue frowned, and there was a chill behind him.
"Your Majesty." The four of them said in unison the extremely unbelievable conjecture in their hearts.
"Or maybe it's the Emperor's Order." Zheng Ke couldn't help but feel scared when he thought of this.
"If it is really the emperor's order, why do you want to use the name of the Winged King's personal guard?" This point is unreasonable, Zhang Qi is full of doubts.
"Besides, we are not the emperor's personal guards, so why do we need to pick people for training." It doesn't make sense at all, Meng Zhou can think of the same as everyone else.
"How many days will it take for those people to tear down the whole trap?" Zheng Ke asked suddenly.
"At least two days at the current rate." Wu Yue estimated.
"Wait two more days, and some people will be impatient to be tempted." Wu Qi dared to pack the ticket, and after enduring it for so long, the troublemakers would make persistent efforts.
"What about after the temptation?" Meng Zhou couldn't help but be curious, "Are we going to follow them?" ”
The four of you, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to answer, I definitely don't go, as for whether you need to explore the way, this point cannot be unified.
"Going with them to death?" Zhang Qi raised his eyebrows, and there was a little more ridicule in his words.
"Don't go with me and see if there's a situation. We're sitting here waiting for the sky to be free from pie. Meng Zhou replied after doing nothing.
"Wu Yue, what do you mean?" Zhang Qi didn't have the heart to raise the bar with Meng Zhou.
Wu Yue shook his head, he hadn't thought about it yet.
"Where's Zheng Cao?" Zhang Qi went to ask Zheng Ke again.
"We'll talk about it that day." Zheng Ke didn't dare to make assertions now.
After dismantling today's part of the trap, the black-clothed people walked down the mountain together, without light effort, only on foot.
"Jia Er, why don't you shoot a bamboo stick without saying a word." C asked.
"Yes. We were so shocked that we thought that man was going to be shot by you. Bing Sanle asked with a smile.
"That man is too bold, and if we don't warn him, it will get in the way of what we do." Jiaji didn't care and said, "Who let that person say that we are dumb." ”
"Hahaha." Bingsan smiled and said: "You, you, that person is really unlucky, when he met you, he was just scared and cheapened." ”
The main reason is that Jia Er didn't like that person, and the gang of forbidden troops didn't stay well, so they thought of some bad moves, and they didn't have idleness to make trouble. If you don't teach me how to do it, the Wing King has left the Ministry of Engineering and rushed here, and as a secret guard, he has to vent his anger for the master.
Two days later, under the watchful eyes of all the forbidden troops, the final trap was dismantled, and the man in black patted his ass and left, disdaining not even a superfluous look. A group of people who had been watching for a long time stood there stunned.
"Are you going?" After a while, there was a small discussion in the crowd.
"Who's going?" No one dared to take the first step, and some people couldn't help but turn their eyes to look at the bold man from two days ago, hoping that he would stand up again and bring unexpected surprises to everyone.
The man was stared at by many pairs of eyes, and he had been afraid for a long time after that day, if it hadn't been for the bamboo stick, he would have had to be penetrated, and now he remembered that his whole body trembled involuntarily. Don't dare to take the lead without thinking and become a pathfinder for others.
On this day, everyone was in a stalemate, no one was willing to take this risk lightly, and no one knew what was waiting for them after the trap was removed.
On this day, the people left in discouragement and went back to consider whether they should find out. Don't be at that time, the Wing King's personal guard didn't make it and died, how sad it is to be in a different place.
That night, some people couldn't hold back, and went to explore the road together, but they didn't dare to go too far, and it was not very safe in the mountains at night, so lighting a torch was easy to become a target. People who move forward in the dark practice not only eyesight, but also keen judgment and agility, and be careful with twelve points, and what will wait for them when they miss a wrong step, can not be predicted.
At night, there were four or five waves of people who couldn't sleep and went out to explore, and these groups of people all took the same route, and no one had the brains to go to the middle of nowhere.
The results of the expedition were unsatisfactory because they were small, and one thing is certain: they walked all the way out of the perimeter without any danger, and this alone cannot make one completely let down their guard.
In the early morning of the second day, several waves of people who went to explore the road at night met together on the road, looked at each other, and ignored each other's own walks, although the strength of the number of people is great, especially in the mountains and forests where they don't know anything, the more people can help each other when they encounter danger, but there is a drawback, people are unpredictable, who can guarantee that they are companions now, and whether they will still be in the future, don't encounter danger to be stabbed in the back by trusted companions, and they don't know how to die.
Where there are people, there will be fights, on the surface and in the heart, I don't know what bad water is rising, people don't have to be destroyed by heaven and earth, no one will look at such a simple truth. Even if they are from the forbidden military camp together, there are also status levels, and it is easy to mix with everyone.
Everyone knows what they think, several waves of people step out of the fence before and after the time period, and the blue sky and daytime can see the surrounding environment clearly, which is much stronger than the night, and it is still not to be taken lightly.
The last group of people walked into the forest, Zhang Qi saw that people arrived, not only them, everyone who heard the wind came, except for a few groups of people who went in, no one dared to take any more risks, what they wanted to see was nothing more than whether those people could return safely, no one would want to get out of this mountain forest and never turn back, after all, they had the royal order with them, and if they really wanted to go and wait for them without looking back, I am afraid that it was not just the anger of the Wing King.
"What about us, do you want to go?" Zhang Qi raised his chin to point to the woods in front of him, and an excitement immediately rose in his heart, and the idea of going on an adventure became weaker and weaker.
"Check it out." Meng Zhou is an impatient character, "If there is a danger of retreating, it is." ”
"Let's go, let's see, keep up with everything. It cannot be dispersed. Wu Yue reminded the others.
"Understood." Zhang Qi replied with a straight face.
Meng Zhou nodded in agreement, the four of them were good friends, and they couldn't have an accident in this kind of place.
The four of them walked out of the perimeter together, and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight under the scorching gaze of everyone. Nothing unusual along the way.
"It doesn't seem like much." Meng Zhou looked around and didn't find anything unusual.
"Be careful." Wu Yue repeatedly admonished, frowning and never stretching.
"It's a little weird indeed." Zheng Ke looked pensive, "What about the people who came in before us, it is impossible to walk so fast?" "If you don't know if there are traps, just watch carefully.
I walked forward for a while, and I didn't see a single person, something was not quite right, and the four of them were not the same.
"What's going on, those people are going in different directions?" Unlikely. Zhang Qi's face was full of doubts, rubbing his chin and twisting his eyebrows in thought.
"Even if you act separately, you can't go without a sound." Meng Zhou's face was gloomy, and his excitement had long since disappeared.
"Are we going to go any further?" Zhang Qi looked at the surrounding environment and was uncertain.
"What's that?" Zheng Ke suddenly noticed a flash of light on a tree.
"Where?" Wu Yue and the three of them looked in the direction that Zheng Ke was looking.
"On that tree." Zheng Ke stretched out his hand and pointed, "Come forward and take a look." He walked forward.
The four of them came to the big tree. Looking up, I found a porcelain vase hanging on the tree, if it weren't for Zheng Ke's sharp eyes and the reflection of the sun, I really wouldn't have found it.
"What is it?" Meng Zhou was suspicious, "It looks like a medicine bottle." "Only bottles with a charge are qualified, palm-sized.
"Take it down and take a look." Zhang Qi spoke. Without waiting for an answer, he quickly climbed up the tree and removed the porcelain vase hanging from the branches.
"It looks like someone pre-hung up." Zhang Qi holds the porcelain vase in his hand and will see the subtle description.
"Open it and see what's inside?" Meng Zhou was anxious, and after walking for half a day, he only found a porcelain vase, and anxiety rose in his heart.
"Put it on the ground, and put it farther away." In order to avoid the porcelain bottle containing poison and other substances, for the sake of insurance, Wu Qi reminded to be careful.
Zhang Qi put the porcelain vase on the ground as he said. Take a few steps back to almost safety, pick up a small piece of rubble, and throw it at the porcelain bottle.
There was a crisp crack, and the porcelain bottle cracked, revealing the pills inside the bottle. After waiting for a while and not finding anything abnormal, the four of them stepped forward and found a branch to play with the pill on the porcelain piece to further observe whether the pill was poisonous.
"This seems to be ......" Zheng Ke frowned, squatted down and took it directly with his hands.
"Be careful!" Wu Yue and the others were startled, but they didn't expect Zheng Cao to take it with his bare hands.
Zheng Cao picked up the pill and looked at it, put it under his nose and smelled it, exhaled and wondered: "This is the detoxification pill, which is better than the one sold in the pharmacy outside." He picked up the rest of the pill and carefully identified it.
"The rest is the same." Zheng Ke's mind was full of questions, why did the detoxification pill be deliberately hung on an inconspicuous tree.
When the other three heard this, they were finally able to let go of their hanging hearts, and it was not poisonous.
"Put it away, let's go back first." Wu Yue opened his mouth, he couldn't stay any longer, the whole thing was weird, and he needed to think about it in the long run.
"Okay." The four of them didn't want to stay any longer, so they picked up all the pills on the ground and brought them back with them, maybe they could find something from the porcelain bottle.
Back at the residence, the four of them let out a sigh of relief, which was more tiring than Suri training, and they felt that the whole person was like a mountain, and their hearts were heavy.
Zheng Ke took out the broken porcelain pills he had collected, put them on the ground, and the four of them sat on the ground, took the porcelain pieces and studied them to see what they could find.
"I can't see it, it's just an ordinary medicine bottle." Meng Zhou said angrily, "Hanging the medicine bottle inexplicably, is it to scare or hurt people?" ”
"Can I take this pill?" Zhang Qi took the pill and looked back and forth, but he didn't see any reason.
"Yes." Zheng Ke wasn't sure if he could really eat it, he himself didn't know much about medical science, and he only inferred the results from his general impression.
"Give it a try." Zhang Qi's eyes rolled, he thought about it, got up and walked out.
"What is he doing here?" Meng Zhou looked at Zhang Qi's back as he left, puzzled.
Wu Yue and Zheng Ke probably guessed a little, but didn't say it, and after a while, Zhang Qi came back, carrying a living creature in his hand, and was struggling in Zhang Qi's hand, if Zhang Qi didn't hold his tail, I am afraid he would be bitten.
"What are you doing with such a big mouse?" Meng Zhou immediately got up and got out of the way, he was most afraid of this kind of dirty thing.
"Of course, I'm going to test the medicine." Zhang Qi glanced at Meng Zhou, and he couldn't even think of what his brain was pretending to be.

Happy National Day
