As the warrior Lott feared, the city of Tanzania today is destined to become unpeaceful with the travel of His Royal Highness, but no one, including the lurkers, can imagine how this turmoil will unfold. Unable to imagine what the fate was about to happen to him, Duan Qing, who was gradually becoming the target of Lot's search at this time, then followed the footsteps of a certain Taoist priest to the mouth of a certain alley extending from the central street, and they looked at the wide street revealed in front of them and the tall city gate that connected the end of the street, and the voices that were originally talking to each other involuntarily lowered a lot: "Is this this place?" ”

"That's right, this is the place."

Slowly retracting his poked head, Hong Shan Lao Dao replied mysteriously: "His Royal Highness the Prince will pass by here at about ten o'clock this morning, and then go out of the city to meet with the imperial nobles who came to this city to meet with the spring breeze and the auspicious time of the zodiac. ”

"They are all prominent figures who were once attached to the power of the empire, but later left for various reasons." The veteran player stroked his beard with a gesture: "And their value, His Royal Highness the Prince should have already realized it." ”

"You're referring to the fact that His Royal Highness the Prince once rescued the Imperial Noble Regiment before, right?" Duan Qing nodded his head: "You know a lot. ”

"I know the sky, the earth, numerology, and the fixed number."

Grinning in satisfaction, Hong Shan's voice became even more mysterious: "I even know that the arrogant prince also intends to bring a group of imperial nobles from Tanzanian City to meet the challenge that will come at the same time as that team. ”

"Challenge?" Duan Qing raised his eyebrows: "What challenge?" ”

"Please, you've been drafted into the army." Hong Shan Lao Dao looked at Duan Qing's face with contempt: "Do you think that at this time, no one will want to use some means in this welcoming ceremony?" ”

"I've heard of that." Duan Qing touched his nose: "What, did you hear it...... Uh, what's the clue? ”

"The street will soon be blocked by Imperial soldiers."

Without answering Duan Qing's question immediately, Hong Shan Lao Dao turned around and looked at the front of the alley again: "The Frei Empire has experienced many similar tests in the past, and the royal family of the Frei Empire is even more so. ”

"No matter what time or action is taken, they don't leave much opportunity for the attackers." Speaking of this, there was a deep glint in his eyes: "Those are all full-level and heavily armed imperial elites, and they are extremely experienced in combat. ”

"What you're trying to say...... They don't stand a chance? Duan Qing raised his eyebrows: "Then what else do we need to do?" ”

"Of course they have a chance, as long as the opportunity comes from the Empire itself."

The tone became a little heavier, and the eyes of Hong Shan Lao Dao, who turned around, gradually fell on Duan Qing's body: "No one can defend where they don't want to defend, you ...... Do you understand? ”

"What does His Royal Highness want to do?" Duan Qing, who was stunned, then asked with a look of surprise: "His Royal Highness the prince wants to act in a play?" ”

"The show time is about 10:30, and the venue...... It was on a makeshift platform outside the city. ”

Pointing in the direction of the city gate, Hong Shan Lao Dao stroked his beard and replied: "When that time comes, His Royal Highness the Prince should call the Imperial Royal Guard Regiment and the temporary escort group formed by you adventurers, and greet visitors from afar with the pride he has personally selected, and at that time...... Hehe. ”

"You're a smart man, you shouldn't need to be reminded of what might happen there, right?"

“……”

With his arms slowly hanging down to his side, Duan Qing's expression became cloudy, and only after a while did he slowly raise his face in the scene of the still lively crowd of people passing through the alley: "The prince wants to frame others in this way?" Who does he want to frame? ”

"I don't know who he wants to frame, but who is going to be unlucky...... But I can see it clearly. ”

Constantly inspecting the figure of the gray-robed magician with his eyes looking up and down, Hong Shan replied with a smile: "In the midst of such a torrent of power, we can only be scapegoats for little people." ”

“…… Bastard. ”

A fist slammed on the wall beside him, Duan Qing gritted his teeth: "I said why did that prince agree so happily, and the test is just a casual response, it turns out that these adventurers who were recruited on the impromptu basis are just a group of outcasts in his eyes?" ”

"I didn't want to talk so much about it, but I don't want to see a good man like you easily bury his career in the game world." Hong Shan Lao Dao said with a sad face: "Especially when your current opportunity is recommended by me, Lao Dao I can't bear it, and it is difficult to sleep and eat." ”

“…… Thank you for telling me this. ”

The anger in his eyes slowly disappeared, and Duan Qing, who seemed to have changed into a different person, looked at Hongshan Lao Dao's face calmly: "Then...... The larger task you just mentioned must also have something to do with this? ”

"Well...... That's true. ”

The gleam in his eyes slowly passed away from the action of lowering his eyebrows, and Hong Shan Lao Dao nodded his head: "Lao Dao, I have a bigger commission above me, and the content is naturally related to His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know——"

"Do you still have the heart to accept it now?"

“……”

"Don't panic, I won't say anything about the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand."

patted the other party's shoulder, and Hong Shan's face became much brighter with the smile on his face: "It's just ...... Many choices of fate in this world only determine the direction of your future development, as long as you are a talented and virtuous person, you can shine wherever you go. ”

"I have been traveling south and north for so many years, and I have never looked away." His gaze fell on Duan Qing's body again: "You will definitely be able to become an amazing player in the world in the future, even the alliance may leave a deep impression on you......"

"It's all up to you to have such a big belly now."

He pinched the gray-robed magician's shoulders with his hand, then took two steps back, his eyes retracted, and then lowered his sleeves to the exit of the alley. The sound of shouting came from the distance of the street where this exit was located, accompanied by a large number of imperial soldiers vaguely occupying the scene on both sides, squinting at the Hongshan Old Road in front of him, and then let out a sigh, and then turned his gaze to Duan Qing's location: "How is it, have you thought about it?" ”

“……”

"The hour is coming, and they're already starting to control this land of right and wrong."

“…… Not. ”

The imaginary expression of decisiveness or hesitation did not appear on the face of the man that Lao Dao had been secretly paying attention to, but instead there was a slightly puzzled face of Duan Qing, who gradually raised his head, and he looked at each other for a while with Hongshan Lao Dao not far away, and then opened his mouth: "Did you hear that?" ”

"What do you hear?"

"Looks like someone is calling for help."

His body began to move slowly with those hesitant eyes, and Duan Qing then walked back in the direction where he came with an increasingly surprised gaze from Hong Shan Lao Dao: "It seems to be ...... It came from the street in front. ”

"Hey, hey!" Two drops of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and Hong Shan Lao Dao then followed with a black line: "It's all this time, you still have the leisure to take care of these trivial things!" You-"

The pace of chasing soon came behind Duan Qing, accompanied by the exclamation that the figure belonging to the old Taoist priest almost collided with Duan Qing, and then he covered his nose and followed Duan Qing's action of stopping at the corner of the alley, and stood together looking at another parallel street in front of him. In the lively scene of countless people who were also walking around the street, a girl in ragged clothes and disheveled hair was constantly tearing each other with several Imperial soldiers who stopped her, and her thin body with a haggard face was quickly pushed down by these Imperial soldiers, and she sat on the ground with a scream of struggle: "Let go of me! Let me go! ”

"No entry or departure is allowed here, ma'am." One of the Imperial soldiers, lined up with each other, stood up mercilessly and said, "Reveal your identity, or we will treat you as a suspicious stranger and throw you into prison." ”

"I, I ......"

Without continuing to struggle, the girl holding her chest kept looking around like a frightened rabbit: "I, I don't know...... I'm just here to ...... Looking for ......"

"Captain, this man looks familiar."

Seemingly familiar with the girl's flustered and incoherent reactions, one of the Imperial soldiers turned to the Imperial Captain who had stepped forward and said, "Is she the amnesiac patient who often runs out of the Violet Tower?" ”

“…… Shh ”

As if recognizing the identity of the girl in front of him, the imperial captain snorted a little angrily, and then stretched out his hand to the girl in the scene of the surrounding passers-by quickly pulling away: "Come with me, we'll take you back." ”

“……”

Quietly looking at the faces of the imperial soldiers around her, the girl with her hands on her chest shook her head for a long time before she shook her head: "I don't want it." ”

"What?" The Imperial Captain frowned, "We don't have time to play games with you, ma'am, hurry." ”

"I, I ......"

The ragged clothes dragged a few steps on the ground, and the girl slowly retreated outside the encirclement of several imperial soldiers: "I, I don't want to go back. ”

“…… Come on, carry her for me. ”

As if he had lost his patience, and seemed to be in a hurry to return to the street where he was supposed to be guarding, the Imperial Captain, who had looked around, waved his hand to the soldiers beside him, and at the same time shouted to the girl sitting on the ground, "Send it to the Violet Tower, and then give me a hurry back." ”

"Yes!"

The loud response and neat steps flooded the corners of the street, accompanied by the screams of the girl again, and the gray-strewn face that had been struggling with her arms disappeared into the crowd of Imperial soldiers, accompanied by the girl's increasingly panicked cries for help. Sighing a little helplessly, the imperial captain with no waves in his eyes then walked slowly in the direction he came, and a loud shout broke the chaos in the area, and at the same time, a gray-robed magician quickly rushed in front of him: "Stop! ”

“…… Who are you? ”

Looking at the adventurer who Duan Qing squeezed into the encirclement of his subordinates regardless of himself, the voice of the Imperial Captain who stopped became a little colder: "What do you want to do?" Want to hinder the Imperial Army in carrying out military affairs? ”

"I'm a temporary worker, but I'm a member of the Imperial Army."

Rushing into the center of the chaotic crowd with all his strength, Duan Qing then blocked the girl who looked even more ragged behind him: "I am Linyuan Broken Water, an adventurer temporarily hired by His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"We were originally here to carry out this escort mission, and we happened to see this incident on the way." Speaking of this, he respectfully saluted several Imperial soldiers around him: "I know her, and she also helped complete a mission to return Violets before, so ......"

"For the sake of your colleagues, can you give me this opportunity?"

He raised his head, and his face also put on a bright and polite smile, and the imperial captain who was looking at this smile then walked back slowly, looking at Duan Qing's face with a strange look: "You are one of the group of adventurers hired by His Royal Highness the Prince?" Whose staff are you serving under now? ”

"Lot, Captain Lot." Duan Qing replied without humility or arrogance: "As long as you go and inquire, there should be no misunderstanding." ”

"Lotter...... Hum. ”

I don't know what came to mind, and the Imperial Captain then let out a strange sneer: "I have indeed heard about this matter, and I know that there is a group of adventurers who have been assigned to him, but ......"

"Adventurers are really greedy, and they don't even let go of such an opportunity." His gaze lingered on the Violet Tower in the distance for a while, and then he turned around in a low voice: "Go and come back quickly, don't delay the business, otherwise it will ......"

"Imperial soldiers have much harsher military laws against themselves than imperial laws."

He waved his hand, and then slowly left with the figures of several other imperial soldiers, and Duan Qing, who was looking at all this, then also let out a sigh of relief, and his face obviously became much more relaxed: "Whew." ”

"Brother Ren, what is the matter with your sudden intervention?" The old man of Hongshan, who came slowly, waved his robe sleeves at this time: "I see that this woman has a bad face, and she seems to be very fierce, if something happens——"

The sound of hugging each other then appeared in his ears, suddenly interrupting the words he wanted to say just now, and the old Taoist priest who put his hands together opened his eyes wide at this time, looking at the figure of Duan Qing who was being hugged by the girl and gradually squatting: "What's wrong with you?" Did you remember something? ”

"I, I don't know." The whole body seemed to be trembling violently, and the girl's covered crying voice then appeared in Duan Qing's ears: "They want to ...... Send me away, I don't want to ...... ...... with them again."

"Help me, save ...... I...... Woowoowoo......"

She sobbed and uttered these staccato words, and then hugged Duan Qing's leg again and cried.
