Despite the loss of strength, Xia Lan still retains a strong fighting instinct, and his almost pinnacle swordsmanship is like an antelope hanging on its horns, and most mortals are no match for him unless he encounters the absolute power of breaking through skill.

Singhs is a warrior who has just been promoted to the middle position, and the strength level is enough to have an overwhelming advantage over Xia Lan, maybe it is difficult for Xia Lan to win in an open confrontation, if it is a life and death fight, the last person to survive must be Xia Lan.

Xia Lan used a branch to stop the other party's angry blow seemingly lightly, in fact, Singels's sword had no killing intent, just wanted to give him an unforgettable lesson, who knew that Xia Lan warned the other party with his actions in turn.

"Captain! That guy is weird! ”

Lalang, who inadvertently saw the two clashing, quietly came to Singhs' side and frowned.

"Did you see him blocking my sword just now?" Singhals said with a calm face.

Lalang thought about it carefully, and said with a grim expression: "I remember that when the captain drew his sword, that guy was like an unknown prophet, holding a branch to block the direction of your sword in advance......"

"I see." Singhs slowly held his sword across his eyes, staring at the streak of carbon black at the blade. "Originally, I just wanted to cut off a piece of his hair with this sword, but the moment the blade slashed at him, the branch in the opponent's hand accurately hit the spine of the sword, and the instantaneous vibration not only changed the sword momentum, but also resolved the power of the long sword through clever unloading skills."

He took a deep breath and spun the long sword in his hand back into its scabbard.

"The other party's swordsmanship is so subtle, even I have to bow down!"

"Could it be that he is a great swordsman?" Lalang was stunned.

"Specifically, it should be that there is no great swordsman's swordsmanship, but there is no great swordsman's strength." Singhals said solemnly: "He doesn't have the internal qi of a warrior's cultivation on his body!" Purely an ordinary person. ”

"Captain, you're not kidding, how could an ordinary person have the swordsmanship of a great swordsman!" Lalang said in disbelief: "Do you think he could be a true great sword master who deliberately concealed his inner qi?" ”

"Impossible!" Singhs shook his head and said, "If he is really a great sword master, why do you need to hire us to escort him?" ”

"That's right!" Lalang said thoughtfully: "The strength of having a great swordsman is enough to run rampant throughout the kingdom, but the other party looks similar to the one who cannot escape, and with the pride of the great swordsman, it will definitely not be like this." ”

"Actually, his strength is not the key, but what he just said to me."

Followed by. With a heavy face, Singers roughly repeated Charan's appalling speculation to Larang.

"Hiss-" After listening to this, Lalang took a cold breath and said, "This guy is definitely not a simple ordinary person!" ”

"That's right!" Singhs snorted coldly: "Now that I have temporarily given up the idea of rushing back to the south to resist the invasion of the Heather Empire, in the face of such a strange person, I know very well what kind of person he is!" ”

"Captain, are you worried that he will endanger the kingdom?" Lalang said.

"Aren't you worried?" Singers asked rhetorically.

"Captain, I know what you mean." Lalang, who is familiar with him, sighed lightly: "I will keep an eye on him for the past two days." ”

"Why haven't Qian Ning and Xia Zuo, who are in charge of going out to investigate dangers, come back yet?" Singhs abruptly diverted the subject. "I remember they've been gone for almost an hour."

As soon as the words fell, the sound of hurried horses' hooves came from far and near. Somehow, the two members of Sinkers' team galloped back to camp with an unusually nervous look.

Le Ma stopped suddenly, turned over and dismounted, and before he could even rest, one of the team members named Xia Zuo hurriedly said to Singhs in a low voice: "Captain! We had a special situation! ”

"Speak slowly! What's going on? Seeing this, Singhs immediately asked calmly.

"Just now, when Qian Ning and I were scouting, we suddenly felt a slight tremor on the ground, and out of vigilance, we quietly sneaked in the direction of the epicenter, and we found that a heavily armed army was secretly marching in the direction of the Yannan Mountain Range!" Xia Zuo breathlessly said: "Although those soldiers did not show any banners, according to the careful observation of the two of us, this army should be subordinate to Viscount Carlin in Lin'an Town. ”

Frequently escorting caravans north and south, they knew the towns around the Yannan Mountains well, and were perhaps the most elite members of the army that once guarded the kingdom's borders. When they see local armies, they always habitually make judgments, and as a result, they naturally understand the characteristics of the armies in various places.

Viscount Carlin is the most powerful nobleman in Lin'an Town, and there is no one.

As early as the beginning of the establishment of the kingdom, the ancestors of Viscount Carlin were sealed to the area of Lin'an Town because of their merits, and since then they have been low-key for more than two hundred years.

The low-key of the Carlin family is different from that of Maxius, the low-key chosen by Maxius is to forget about the world, while the low-key of the Carlin family is to secretly control the military and political power of Lin Anzhen behind the scenes. Whether it's Kingdom Calling or being a human being. They were the most inconspicuous of the aristocracy.

Some people say that this is the family motto of the Carlin family, and only by keeping a low profile can the family continue steadily.

"Strange! Didn't I hear that Lin Anzhen was hunting down spies before? It stands to reason that the army of Viscount Carlin's domain should enter the city and be under martial law. How could it be here for no reason? Singleston was deeply confused.

"Channing and I think the same way." Xia Zuo said: "So we suspect that Viscount Carlin may be on some important mission that is secret!" ”

"It has always been a taboo for nobles to dispatch troops privately, if things are as you guessed, it means that something big must have happened in the Yannan Mountains!" Singers muttered to himself. "But...... Viscount Carlin didn't take the road that led directly to the ancient road in the forest, so why did he choose a detour that took a lot of trouble? ”

"You seem to have fallen into a misunderstanding."

At this time, Xia Lan's voice floated in, and he didn't know when he appeared behind them.

"Misunderstanding? What misconceptions? ”

Singhs quickly turned his head to look at Xia Landao.

"Is it true that Viscount Carlin secretly sent his army to the Yannan Mountains to carry out some secret mission?" Xia Lan said lightly.

"Say what you want to say. Why hide it! Singhs said impatiently.

"Maybe Viscount Carlin's secret march is to sneak up on the kingdom garrison in the ancient path in the forest!" Xia Lan said bluntly.

"What?"

"Impossible!"

Everyone in the Mountain Eagle Squad was shocked at the same time.

"Why can't it be?" Xia Lan asked rhetorically.

"Viscount Carlin has no reason to betray the kingdom!"

"That's right! Viscount Carlin's family and kingdom can be described as sharing honor and disgrace, and betraying the kingdom will not bring any benefits to the Karlin family at all, it will only bring destruction! ”

Qian Ning and Xia Zuo refuted fiercely.

Lalang did not speak, and since he had learned from Singers about Charan's sensational statement, he now only wanted to know the basis for his words. See if the other party has no purpose or something to say!

And Singers' idea is simpler.

"Do you really think that Viscount Carlin is preparing to sneak attack the garrison of the Ancient Path in the Forest?"

As soon as these words came out, Qian Ning looked at him with wide eyes.

"Captain! You don't really believe this guy's words, do you? ”

Singhs raised his hand to stop Channing's words, his eyes fixed on Xia Lan waiting for his answer.

"Don't you think what happened in Lin Anzhen is too strange?" Xia Lan said slowly.

"Strange? Have it? Xia Zuo, who had the same straightforward personality as Qian Ning, frowned.

"The news of the defeat at the border has just arrived, and Lin Anzhen closed the city gate to search for spies, do you say it's a coincidence?" Xia Lan glanced at him and said.

"What a coincidence!" Qian Ning couldn't help but say.

"I see what you mean." Singers pondered for a moment.

"Captain, what do you understand?" Lalang couldn't help but be curious.

"If you were a spy in Lin An Town, would you expose yourself at such an inopportune time?" Singhs said.

"I see." Lalang woke up and said: "Unless the Heather Empire is about to attack the city, it is undoubtedly a foolish act to expose yourself at this time!" ”

"But maybe Lin Anzhen really discovered the identity of the spy's whereabouts!" Channing was not angry.

"If Lin Anzhen is really searching for spies, why is there Viscount Carlin's army here?" Lalang explained. "When you think about two things, you'll find something strange!"

"It's also possible that Viscount Carlin learned the dangerous information about the ancient road in the forest from the spy who was searching!" Channing still argued.

"Hehe, if that's the case, why didn't Viscount Carlin let the army go directly to the ancient road in the forest instead of a detour?" Lalang said.

As soon as these words came out, Qian Ning suddenly fell silent.

Unexpectedly, Xia Lan just said a sentence, and they automatically described the outline of the whole thing clearly, and they were deeply mired in conspiracy and suspicion.

"There are no absolutes, everything is possible." Xia Lan finally spoke: "Doubt cannot be regarded as fact, only by witnessing it in person can we know the truth of the matter." ”

"After leaving tomorrow morning, I will let people take the lead in going to the ancient road in the forest to find out the situation and see if the matter is our speculation!" Singhals said with a serious expression.

"Hopefully my guess is wrong."

After saying this, Xia Lan quietly left.

When everyone set off again the next morning, Qian Ning in the team had already left first, everyone seemed to be preoccupied, the atmosphere was extremely depressing, and when it was close to noon, Qian Ning returned.

When they saw Qian Ning's gloomy expression, everyone couldn't help but sink in their hearts.

"Channing! How's it going? ”

"Captain! Your suspicions are right! Viscount Carlin has betrayed the kingdom! The ancient road in the forest has fallen! (To be continued.) )
