Volume 2 The Traveler Patrols the Four Seas Chapter 185 The Battle of the Blue River (6)
galloped all the way, but in half an hour, Jiang Ling and his party had galloped out of 80 kilometers and came to the continuous mountain road that Wei Yeqiu said.
Because after all, the mountain road is narrower, even if the Shenxing Stone has its own speed increase, shock absorption, and wind shelter effect, it can't stand the uneven terrain, so the speed can't help but drop.
Wei Gongzi sat on his black steed, glanced at his surroundings, and after a while, a carrier pigeon flew over and landed on his arm.
Wei Gongzi opened the small note brought by the pigeon, and there were a few lines of words on it - there were three people in this restaurant, they might be people from the mountains and wilderness, they couldn't find their way from, their background was unknown, and no one in Songheng County had seen it in the past, it was very weird, and they should be on guard.
Wei Gongzi looked at it again, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and then he tore it into small pieces and scattered it. He deliberately slowed down and stood side by side with Xi Jiu.
Xi Jiu looked at him and said, "Have intelligence?" β
"Yes." Wei Gongzi turned his head to look at her, as if he was smiling.
Seeing his unpredictable smile, Xi Jiu's heart sank slightly, although she had a rough personality, her IQ was not low, and she couldn't help but ask cautiously when she saw this: "About us?" β
Wei Gongzi nodded: "That's right." β
Xi Jiu didn't dare to answer for a while, weighed for a while, and before she could speak, Wei Gongzi turned his head to look at Jiang Ling and Krut behind him, and asked, "You three, where did you come from?" β
Jiang Ling naturally also saw the carrier pigeon passing the book, and when he heard Wei Gongzi ask like this, he probably guessed what the letter said, but he still said: "It seems that the news from the carrier pigeon just now is about the identity of the three of us. β
"Yes, that's it... No identity. Wei Gongzi smiled: "I'm curious, in the realm of my Wei family, who will be able to hide his identity?" β
Jiang Ling and the three of them were silent for a while, but Jiang Ling felt that it was better to tell the truth, so he said: "Don't hide it, we didn't mean to deceive the son, it's just that our identity is indeed a little difficult to speak." β
"Hahaha." Wei Gongzi suddenly laughed twice, and then smiled: "Interesting." β
Jiang Ling was a little confused by his joke, he was afraid that this son-in-law would be suspicious for a while, and it would be bad if he killed the three of them, so he wanted to confess: "Maybe the son-in-law doesn't believe it, but in fact, we are..."
"Skywalker." Wei Gongzi said the answer by himself.
Xi Jiu was suddenly taken aback and said, "How can you tell?" β
Wei Gongzi smiled again and said, "Because half a month ago, I just met Skywalker once. β
"Huh?" Jiang Ling was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he understood that half a month ago in this world, that is, five days ago in the real world, that was the last battlefield, and Wei Gongzi had already had contact with Skywalker, so it was much easier to accept the concept of Skywalker than others.
"So, your mission to come into the world this time is related to my son?" Wei Gongzi asked.
Jiang Ling replied truthfully: "That's right, our mission this time is to escort you and the congratulatory gifts to reach the Yue Rong Kingdom safely. β
"I see." Wei Gongzi nodded, and asked again, "What about your opponent?" I guess he killed me halfway. β
Hearing Wei Gongzi's speculation, Jiang Ling was still a little surprised, he didn't expect Wei Gongzi to know the player so well, even the player must have a main quest, and every time he enters the battlefield, the two teams are enemies.
Jiang Ling responded: "That's right, the missions of the two Skywalkers are generally conflicting. β
"It's so interesting." Wei Gongzi said: "The last time I accidentally broke into the battle between the two Skywalkers, of course, they also accidentally broke into my hunting circle, so there was a bit of a conflict and I killed several Skywalkers. I regretted that I hadn't been able to talk to them more, but it seems like I have a chance now. β
Wei Gongzi stopped, and the convoy also stopped, and then he said to the carriage: "Gongliu Huangjiu, come out and ride a horse." β
The two masked guards walked out of the carriage, Jiang Ling and the three naturally got off the horse, gave the horse to the two, and the son himself got off the horse, and then walked into the carriage and waved his hand to Jiang Ling and the three.
The woman named Gong Liu approached and said, "Childe, these three people ride with you..."
"It's okay, they won't hurt me." Wei Gongzi waved his hand, and then reminded: "It's you, be vigilant outside and protect this son." β
As soon as these words came out, Gong Liu's figure paused slightly, and the rice wine on the side suddenly tensed, and he glanced around.
Wei Gongzi's face was a little solemn, and he thought back to the note just now. This flying pigeon biography, I'm afraid it didn't come so smoothly in front of me, the one who sent the news of his own cronies, must have released a few flying pigeons, but only this one came to his eyes.
The message was indeed about the identities of the three temporarily hired guards, but there was another key piece of information hidden in it.
The few lines on the note didn't seem to be abnormal, but in fact, the word "mountain" in "people of the mountains", the "road" of "the way to come", "... No one has ever seen the 'have' in 'and the 'very weird' 'strange', both of which have special marks that are inconspicuous and can only be seen by Wei Gongzi.
That is to say - the mountain roads are different.
This section of the mountain road, as he had expected, did have an ambush, and some danger awaited them on the road.
Wei Gongzi stepped into the carriage, and Jiang Ling and the three had no choice but to follow. This carriage is very spacious, sitting four people is not crowded, there are only a few gems inlaid in the four walls, although it is not luxurious, but it is also very noble, comfortable to sit and sleep.
As several people got into the car, the convoy continued to move forward.
Wei Gongzi looked at the three people around him with restrained expressions, and said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just interested in your Skywalker identity and want to hear some stories." β
"Thisβ" The three of them looked at each other, wondering if they should tell him about it.
Wei Gongzi smiled with relief and said, "I also know the importance of the heavens, the heavenly secret must not be leaked, you might as well say something I can listen to, for example, how often can you come to the world?" Why help me? β
Jiang Ling glanced at Xi Jiu and Kluter, and he felt that the situation of Skywalker, or... The rules of the player's game tell Wei Gongzi that although it seems that he has no loss to himself, once the matter of Skywalker is known to the world, this layer of mystery is removed, which is still not good for the player to enter the battlefield in the future.
So Jiang Ling was about to start fooling, he coughed lightly, looked at Wei Gongzi and said seriously: "There is no fixed law at all, we are just waiting for the conscription of Heaven's will, when we sense Heaven's will, when we will come to the world, and after we come, there will be corresponding tasks waiting for us, and after completing the task, we will return to the heavenly realm." The rest of the matter is really inconvenient for us to say. β
Klute and Xi Jiu also nodded when they heard Jiang Ling's words, their expressions did not show abnormality, but they thought in their hearts that Jiang Ling was not an Internet writer, right? Add oil and vinegar to avoid the heavy and light, and it comes casually.
Wei Gongzi was naturally convinced, and approached Jiang Ling with great interest: "What is the heavenly realm like?" β
Jiang Ling shook his head incomprehensibly and said, "Don't say, don't say." β
Wei Gongzi looked regretful and said, "I really want to go to the heavenly realm to see, I envy you for such a wonderful life." β
Xi Jiu couldn't help but say at this time: "You are the young son of the Wei family in the northeast, rich N generation, and born so handsome, eat whatever you want, play wherever you want, and live so happily you have to envy others." β
Wei Gongzi was silent for a moment when he heard this, and said, "Maybe it's because I'm in the midst of happiness and don't know the blessing." Then he closed his eyes and sat back in his chair, and muttered, "But I also want to be a wandering and unrestrained knight." This 'Wei' has given me a lot of things that others can't get in my life, and it has also given me a whole body of bondage. What's more, I'm just a concubine. Do you understand what it means to be a concubine in a large family? β
The three players looked at each other and did not answer for a moment.
Wei Gongzi shook his head, and then asked instead, "Guess who will come to intercept me this time?" β
Jiang Ling replied: "I have a grudge against you." β
"First of all, my eldest brother." Wei Gongzi stretched out a finger very naturally, and then said, "It would not be surprising if he sent someone to kill me, who made me really have the heart to compete with him for the throne?" Even if he really didn't take me seriously and didn't take action directly, his people in that line would definitely not give up. β
"For example, my third aunt, who controls the transportation of the seven counties in the eastern part of Chixi Kingdom, is the most outstanding among several aunts, and he is also the most unsparing to support my eldest brother. Moreover, my fourth uncle is the person in charge of the Northwest Salt Road of Lanjiang Country and a supporter of my eldest brother. There is also the cousin who is in charge of the iron merchants in the six counties of Lanjiang, that guy is ruthless and will definitely take action. I want to think about what else there is, um... The seventh uncle of the Hexi Caoyun manager, Cao Chen, the chief steward of the ancestral hall, Liang Shi, the commander of the guard, and Mao Yunfei, the foreign affairs envoy... Heck, if you add the power of the Shikoku Dynasty, you can't count the points. β
Wei Gongzi muttered to himself, and he didn't shy away from the three of them, as if after learning that the three of them were Skywalkers, he wouldn't treat them as outsiders.
Of course, he didn't actually reveal too much critical information.
Xi Jiu scratched his head when he heard it and said, "Why are so many people on your eldest brother's side." β
Jiang Ling replied: "The eldest son." β
"That's right." Wei Gongzi sneered: "It's these three words, it's these three words that forced my second brother to go to Heirong Country to rectify the muddy waters there, and forced my third brother to go to Danmeng Country to serve the old emperor who was wide on the outside and jealous on the inside." So that my mother did not dare to let me look up and be a man for the rest of my life. It also made most of the people in the family stand firmly under his banner. β
"Tut, you're really not good at being a young man." Xi Jiu pouted, and then asked, "If they come to kill you, won't your father care?" Is it possible for someone outside of your family to do it? β
"Of course they will hide it from my father, and they dare not take it personally, for for whatever reason, cannibalism is an unforgivable sin." Wei Gongzi snorted coldly and said, "They will provoke or hire others to make a move." β
At this moment, there seemed to be shouts of killing outside, and it seemed that many people were surrounding from all directions.
"Huh!?" The three players were taken aback, and Klute was about to go out with his sword in hand.
"You don't need to do anything." Wei Gongzi opened the curtain and glanced at it, and said, "The first to appear is just a small role that is not in the stream." β
