In the dark night, a gust of wind gradually revealed a bone-deep coolness, and the songworms were gradually extinct in the north at this time, and even many birds had already flown south. Walking on the road in such darkness, it seems that as long as you pay attention to your feet, you won't make much movement, but in practice, it is not easy to do.

Moreover, Yue Qianqiu did not expect that the departure plan prepared by Xiao Jingxian was not to rely on carriages and horses, but to cross the last forty miles with two legs and cross the border with Nanwu. Although his physical strength is good, since he learned to ride a horse, it has become a habit to use his mount to walk, so he naturally complained secretly for the first time on such a night trek.

Even if the body is still able to eat, the nervousness and vigilance in the mood, as well as the complete unfamiliarity of the surrounding environment, further aggravate the tiredness. In contrast, Yue Ying, who obviously carried one more person, still walked like a peer, as if he was not tired at all, and even the little monkey seemed to be easier than him.

I don't know how long I walked with my head bored, but he was already a little confused before he heard a voice: "Stop." ”

This voice was extremely slight in the silent night, Yue Qianqiu was originally a little distracted, but Yue Ying's peculiar voice he still recognized it for the first time, and immediately stopped. However, when he stopped, he found that his feet were as if they were filled with lead, his chest was even slightly tingling, and his throat was as dry as a fire.

Just as he was gasping for breath, a water bag was handed to him, and at the same time, the low voice of the little monkey sounded: "Brother Yue Jiu, drink saliva...... Don't drink too much, the more you drink, the easier it is to be thirsty, we've been gone for an hour and a half. ”

An hour and a half...... That is, three hours in one breath? Isn't it only forty miles? Haven't been there for three hours? Yes, they seem to have taken a somewhat detoured road, if it weren't for Yue Ying leading the way, he would have lost his direction a long time ago. He has never walked like this in his life, so it is really easy to go from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift.

Yue Qianqiu didn't have time to think about it, so he took two sips of water, then controlled himself not to drink more, covered the plug and handed it back to the little monkey, and then asked, "How do you know that we have been gone for an hour?" ”

"I know how to watch the stars, and I can roughly calculate the position of the stars!"

The little monkey looked a little vigorous, straightened his chest and said: "I have not only learned the art of earth hearing, the art of looking at qi, but also the geography of mountains and rivers, but what I like the most is astronomy and water conditions, as well as identifying various plants." I learned the best astrogazing technique, and Master originally planned to let me go to sea to practice for two years, but then I heard that ships often capsize in these years, so I dismissed my idea. ”

The front sounds fantastical, but the back is very practical...... Sure enough, it is the champion of the line!

Yue Qianqiu praised two sentences, and then talked to the little monkey without a pair, trying his best to relieve the lingering strong fatigue around him, but then he found that Xiao Jingxian, who was sitting on a stone, seemed to be discussing something in a low voice with Yue Ying next to him.

Even in this kind of dark night, with a pair of sharp eyes, he could clearly see the lips of the two of them squirming. But even so, he didn't hear any sound from the two, and then realized that it was lip talk!

He hadn't practiced this thing before, so even though he was staring at the two of them at this time, it was still difficult to guess the content of the conversation between the two from the rapid change in mouth shape, but it made Xiao Jingxian and Yue Ying perceive his gaze almost at the same time. Immediately after, Yue Ying walked over and whispered, "There are less than ten miles left, but this is also the most dangerous ten miles, you two be careful." ”

As soon as these words came out, the little monkey immediately became nervous, and although Yue Qianqiu's face remained unchanged, he immediately asked: "Uncle Ying is saying that there will definitely be a situation in the middle of the road in a while?" ”

"Yes, not possibly, for sure. After all, the Great Wu soldiers and horses are only contained, and it is impossible to attack, so we have to face the scouts on the border of Northern Yan, the assassins who came to the King of Jin, and completely cross the border before sunrise, which is bound to be intercepted. ”

"Haah......" Yue Qianqiu groaned low from his throat, and then said not very smugly, "I knew that I would take a strange knife from the warehouse, it was too insecure!" ”

"From tonight onwards, you will understand that you don't need a fixed weapon to kill, just a pair of hands, at most a dagger, and that's enough."

Yue Ying seemed to say this casually, and then walked back to the stone and picked up Xiao Jingxian again. The little monkey was still a little embarrassed, and stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Do you want me and Brother Yue Jiu to take turns to share the burden for a while?" ”

This time, it was Xiao Jingxian who laughed and said, "No need, I'm so tall, you don't have the ability to carry me." ”

was ridiculed for being short again, and Yue Qianqiu only felt that he had been stabbed in the chest again. When you say this, will you die if you add the prefix "growing taller"?

He dragged the little monkey back, and said angrily: "We are not as tall as Uncle Ying, our endurance is not as good as Uncle Ying, and our martial arts are even worse than Uncle Ying, His Royal Highness the King of Jin dislikes us, what are you going to rob?" If you can keep up, don't fall behind, and don't lag behind, you'll be content! ”

Yue Ying saw that Xiao Jing came to this first and had the leisure to quarrel with the two little guys, and couldn't help but be embarrassed. Only in the darkness, his smile was fleeting, and soon, he was once again the first to move forward. While Yue Qianqiu pulled the little monkey and hurriedly caught up, he couldn't help but think about the assassin that Yue Ying just mentioned, who might have come first against Xiao Jing.

I don't know how long it took, he suddenly heard a few strange insect chirpings from a distance, and he was gradually accustomed to this kind of nocturnal speed, so he found that Yue Ying stopped suddenly.

He hurriedly stopped walking, and the little monkey next to him stopped faster than him, and then took the initiative to squat down and put his ear to the ground and listen carefully for a while, then stood up again and listened to the sound in the night, and then made a gesture.

Only from that cross gesture, instead of whispering reminders, Yue Qianqiu realized a deeper meaning in addition to the meaning of that layer of silence - there are people in front.

The little monkey made the same gesture when he came to Yue Ying's side, and when he saw Yue Ying nod at him, he swept forward quickly, and disappeared into the dark night. At this time, Yue Ying did not let go of Xiao Jingxian and strive for more time to rest, but closed his eyes slightly, as if he was concentrating on breathing, and as if he was simply thinking about his thoughts in a daze.

Only Yue Qianqiu looked at the dark night like a pool of black water, and there was no bottom in his heart. He even felt that every moment of the moment was so long that he had to concentrate all his energy on his ears, lest he hear the screams of the little monkeys in the next moment, or the sound of swords clashing and shouting.

However, after the previous chirpings of insects, no sound was heard from the beginning to the end, and the little monkey did not turn around, as if the man had been swallowed up by the night. He tried several times to offer to go and see it himself, but he swallowed it back, until the last of his patience was almost exhausted, and he finally saw a dark shadow return silently.

And judging from the body shape, it is clearly a little monkey!

He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the panting little guy. Before he could ask, he saw the little monkey grinning, that kind of excited and happy expression, even if he had been with this happy boy for a long time, but it was the first time he had noticed it. And, immediately after that, he heard the little monkey muttering.

"I pulled out two nails, and I found several traps by the way! It's really insidious, especially on a night like this, it's set on the avenue...... Fortunately, when it comes to scouts, I'm also a professional, and I don't know how many times I've practiced to get around traps at night and how to spot spies! ”

It seems to be the sequelae of not being able to speak just now, and the little monkey is talking a lot now, and he is not very organized. He leaned on Yue Qianqiu, babbling about the little confrontation just now, and then took out a nameplate from his arms, saying that it was found from the dead scout.

It wasn't until Yue Qianqiu looked at it over and over again for a while that Yue Ying took it, but only glanced at it and handed it to his back.

"Does King Jin know each other?"

Xiao Jingxian just glanced at it and said lightly: "I've seen it, Heishui Wei, one of the most elite double guards of the Autumn Hunting Division, I didn't expect it to be Xiao Yuanzi You took the lead, and solved two at once, not bad." ”

"Call it a little monkey, don't call it a little Yuanzi!" The little monkey protested without thinking about it, but when he heard Xiao Jingxian's next words, he was stunned.

"In the past, once Heishui Wei was dispatched, two people in a team, eight people in a team, three teams at a time, this is the rule set by the Aki Hunting Division when my sister was there, because no matter how elite the people are, once there are too few people, they can't echo each other, and they are just fat in other people's mouths. These people have their own strengths, and there is not only one set of codes, it should be a quarter of an hour to report peace to each other. Unless twenty-four men are slaughtered within a quarter of an hour, one team will be destroyed, and the other two will surely come at once. ”

None of the three people before the meeting were underestimated, and Xiao Jingxian continued: "The situation is unknown now, first, we don't know that someone can intercept Yuezhong along the way. Second, how many people are there at the moment, are they waiting for us, or are they just on guard? Third, is this Xiao Changhui's assignment, or is it Kangle? Or is it the emperor, Wang Jingnan? ”

After a few questions, Xiao Jingxian said lightly: "So now, the only way to do this is to kill the past with all your might." ”

Yue Qianqiu thought that Xiao Jingxian would have some tricks, but he didn't expect that in the end, he simply killed the past three words, and after being stunned for a while, he was suddenly dissatisfied: "I thought you said something, then don't waste time, hurry up!" ”

However, Xiao Jingxian sighed in a low voice: "If the ****** from the Divine Bow Gate is here at this time, then it will be twice the result with half the effort." At times like these, night arrows are more effective than hand-to-hand combat. ”

"Not necessarily." Yue Ying didn't put Xiao Jing down until this time, and when he saw that Yue Qianqiu was about to step forward to help someone, he said lightly, "You two protect King Jin, but don't be on the road, retreat to the side of the road to prevent the pursuers." The little monkey told me the location of the trap, and I went to deal with the Black Water Guard of the Akikari Division. ”

Hearing the incomparable confidence in those words, Yue Qianqiu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

The night is simply the biggest moat for them, but for the shadows, isn't it the world where they can easily maneuver?
