Chapter 35: A Sense of Foreboding
"Lead the people to search for the truth about the activity of the demon seed......"
Mulan chewed the words in her mouth again, but felt more and more that something was wrong.
"Sister Mulan, is there any problem?"
Lu Yu could see that Mulan's face was not very good-looking.
"The capital protects the mansion, but the left and right arms of the Great Wall, once it falls, the consequences are unimaginable! Didn't your commander know when he left your men to defend the city?! ”
Mulan's tone was very sharp, how could she not know about this mistake, as a chief?
Rather than searching for signs of the demon seed, it is more important to guard the capital protection mansion.
If it weren't for the fact that they passed through the north gate, I was afraid that they would be attacked by the demon seed and a gap.
"No...... It's not the chief, it's actually a person's advice, and then the chief listens. ”
The guards said in a hurry, this female captain, the temperament is really as strong as the legend, so that these men are a little ashamed.
"Who is it?"
Mulan's eyes became sharp, and Lu Yu also pricked up his ears, which was to be written down.
"It's a young man named Li Xin."
"Li Xin?!"
Lu Yu and Hua Mulan shouted in unison.
Li Xin, Lu Yu couldn't be clearer, highland security, Crystal Friend.
But I didn't expect him to be in the Metropolitan Protectorate.
And Hua Mulan was also surprised, because she had met Li Xin when King Lanling first attacked the Duhu Mansion.
At that time, Li Xin gave himself the impression that he was a more maverick, but full of unique pride and sharpness.
He is also a young man with a lot of potential, and he has a lot of strength.
Unexpectedly, this time the governor of the Metropolitan Protectorate went on the expedition, and it turned out to be his strategy.
What is the origin of this?
Li Xin shouldn't be the kind of guy who has no brains, and it is impossible not to know the importance of the capital protection house, but the advice he gave is contemplative.
"Where is Li Xinren now?"
Hua Mulan asked sharply, no matter what, you have to find Li Xin first.
"He's gone to the depths of the desert with the chief......
A guard said that at that time, the iron riders and horses went out from the north gate in a hurry, and he had seen Li Xin's shadow.
After all, the blonde boy also has a noble temperament, and in the entire Metropolitan Protectorate, there is only Li Xin, so it is easy to identify.
"Lu Yu, it seems that we can't rest today."
When the pupils with a little helplessness looked at Lu Yu, Hua Mulan smiled bitterly, Originally, they went to the Metropolitan Protectorate Mansion today to meet with the chief here, and then discuss countermeasures against the demon seed.
Now it seemed that they had to turn the direction of the horse's hooves again into the endless desert.
"It's okay, I can act with Sister Mulan, I'm full of energy."
The corners of Lu Yu's mouth raised slightly, anyway, he has a hegemon reloaded, and he is not worried about consumption at all.
In order to allow the team to get closer to Li Xin and his party more quickly, and at the same time prevent the Duhufu from falling into the attack of the demon seed again, she left some of her men here to fight with the gatekeepers.
The rest of the men and horses, including Lu Yu, quickly headed to the desert.
Unconsciously, the desert was gradually and silently shrouded in darkness.
The starry sky in the sky seems to have woven a vast net, covering the entire desert.
The moonlight, like a light veil, softly sprinkled on the yellow sand of the desert, reflected a golden glow.
The night in the desert is much colder than at any other time.
As soon as the white air flow came out of his mouth, it condensed into a white mist visible to the naked eye, and his teeth were also under the low temperature, and he couldn't help but tremble.
Lu Yu regretted it a little, he knew that he also wore thick clothes to keep out the cold, this extreme low temperature made him really unbearable.
"Is it cold? Hold me tight. ”
The voice was not loud, but it sounded very clearly in his ears at this time, but Lu Yu still thought that he was having auditory hallucinations.
"Lu Yu, if you feel cold, just hug me tight......"
Mulan's voice was obviously not as clear as the first time, but Lu Yu heard it very clearly.
Damn, really?
Lu Yu was still a little disbelieving at first, excited heart, nervous hands.
But when he heard Mulan say it a second time, he didn't hesitate and quickly hugged Mulan's waist.
The horses were still galloping, and the scenery around them was whistling past me.
His face seemed to be a little hot, but he was quickly calmed down by the cold wind.
Although Mulan's waist was covered by hard armor, even through a layer of cold armor, Lu Yu could still feel the temperature from her body.
It was warm.
However, while feeling the warmth, the blood in Lu Yu's whole body also concentrated on the top of his head at once.
"Lu Yu, are you still cold? I feel your body tremble. ”
"I didn't ...... It's the horse that's running too fast. ”
Lu Yu reluctantly explained that for the first time such intimate contact, for him, an innocent teenager, it was even more exciting than a new game.
I don't know, what kind of mood should it be for Mulan......
However, soon, Lu Yu got used to it, his mood stabilized, and he enjoyed it.
The cold of the night is finally not so biting.
However, as the cold gradually faded under the dissipation of warmth, a deep killing intent slowly rose.
"There is a situation!"
By the light of the moon, one of the soldiers saw a body lying in the sand.
"It's a soldier of the Metropolitan Protectorate!"
After seeing his uniform clearly, Mulan and the others hurriedly dismounted and rushed to the soldier's side.
The soldier was dying, but strangely enough, he had no terrible wounds on his body, and it didn't look like he had been attacked by a demon or a bandit.
"Cheer up!"
"Who attacked you?!"
Mulan took the water bag from her hand and headed it towards the soldier's chapped lips.
But instead of drinking water, the soldier said something in a very weak voice.
Li ...... Letter....... ....... in a mask Killer...... And ......"
However, this dying soldier did not say all the words, and the whole person was completely cut off from life, and his life dissipated in the yellow sand flying in the sky.
“......”
Mulan stood up silently and mourned for the dead soldier for a few seconds, then retracted her sad expression.
"Li Xin, the ...... of the Lanling King"
From the mouth of this soldier, Lu Yu at least knew the identities of two people, one was Li Xin, and the masked killer should be the king of Lanling.
But, it seems, there are others.
And, even more suspiciously, the soldier was not outwardly harmed, nor poisoned or anything, but he still died.
"Lu Yu, I have a sense of foreboding."
Standing in the yellow sand, Mulan faced the endless and reckless desert and said in that cold tone.
A sense of foreboding......
Lu Yu also sensed it.
