Chapter 29: Conspiracy
"Hahaha" saw such a boss in the middle of the night, and held back for a long time, and finally broke the work. He Qianjun glared at Midnight, who pretended not to see it, looked left and right and walked away.
After inquiry, I learned that those three magicians were the members of the "Ronin" organization, and the others were all improvised and formed. And these people have no knowledge of the purpose of this operation except for their leader.
"The 100 list, you mean that your leader is a member of the 100 list?" He Qianjun asked uncertainly.
One of the magicians replied, "Yes, rank ninety-eight, called Candlelight." ”
He Qianjun understood in his heart that it was no wonder that he was fighting like this, the worst of the 100 people list of "Ronin" had the combat power of middle-level mages. There were palpitations in his heart, and his brows were tightly locked: "Who knows about your travel mission this time?"
"The candle flame keeps us secret, or we wouldn't have pulled so many homeless people who are not an organization. ”
He Qianjun has been thinking about whether to kill these two people to prevent future troubles. One of the magicians seemed to see the clue, and immediately explained: "You don't have to worry that we will leak your traces, the highest combat power is dead, but we are still alive, and the organization will directly kill us who "abandon our companions". We don't dare to stay any longer, and we hope that the young man will spare our lives!"
He Qianjun thought that the two of them were also hurting the innocent, so he moved his heart of compassion.
"I'm going to cast a spell on you, and you won't be able to move until we're two hours after we're gone, or you'll die, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"
"Seeing that there is a chance to live," the two wept bitterly and kowtowed in thanks.
He Qianjun ignored the two of them anymore and walked towards Lushan. The middle-aged man seemed to feel a lot more tired overnight. The originally straight waist seems to be a little bent. He Qianjun stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The interrogation is over, and everything is the fault of my third brother. My own son was even involved. Lu Shan said with a slightly decadent feeling.
He Qianjun didn't know how to comfort people, so he could only wait quietly on the sidelines. Lu Shan sighed deeply and told the story of the matter. He Qianjun listened silently, glanced at the middle-aged man sympathetically and left, handed over the space to Lu Shan, and no longer bothered, he was betrayed by his own son, and robbed and killed by his own brother, no one can accept it.
......
Ji Qingxi woke up slowly, looking at the surrounding Daliang, and Bo Changyan, who was wrapped into zongzi around him, he felt happy no matter how he looked at it, and he had no other discomfort except for the stinging pain in his brain.
Ji Qingxi thought back to the previous battle, looking at this boy who had been standing in front of him and did not retreat, there was always an indescribable feeling in his heart. couldn't help but look at Chang Yan a few more times. I was stunned, and it took a long time to realize that I didn't know who I was rescued by in the end, and remembered the "space" that the man in black who almost killed her before he died, raised his eyebrows, and asked Xue Zixin suspiciously: "What happened in the end? Why did that soul fire disappear inexplicably?"
Xue Zixin shook her head, as if she was hiding something. Zong Ming on the side spoke: "We'll know later." I didn't intend to hide it from the two of you, so it's better to let him tell you himself!"
"He?" Ji Qingxi had a rough guess, temporarily suppressed the doubts in his mind, and inquired about the situation on their side, listening, He Qianjun's record was underestimated, and he rolled his eyes in self-care.
It didn't take long for Midnight and He Qianjun to come in one after another. The group talked softly, and also solved the question in Ji Qingxi's heart, and also knew why this person who was not even excellent in the entrance score was accepted as a closed disciple by the second elder, and finally understood the culprit who had changed the spiritual power test of Liuyun Academy in the past.
"You are very hidden!" Ji Qingxi said with emotion. I am also full of hope for the future of this group, thinking that I can step on those special enrollments, and my heart is happy. Xue Zixin on the side didn't react, as if she had known it a long time ago, but after considering that her teacher was that kind of existence, there was nothing strange about it.
"How long will it take for him to wake up?" He Qianjun pointed at Bo Changyan and asked Xue Zixin and Xi Zongming
"It will probably take a while, the mental overdraft is too serious. Ji Qingxi hurriedly said.
"Well, these are trophies. "Midnight poured a whole bunch of magical items.
Ji Qingxi was looking for the magic free object around the place, and after sensing it one by one, he took out a pendant from it, and there were obvious traces of broken marks under the pendant, it seemed that he had broken through the boundary and exploded directly, it was a pity that such a good object was a pity.
Midnight on the side was curiously holding a special ring, and just as she was about to open it, she was stopped by Ji Qingxi on the side, and Midnight looked at her suspiciously.
Seeing that the ring did not move, Ji Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It is very likely that this is the ring that stores the soul fire, and only a specific way to open it will not hurt the soul." If we recklessly use our spiritual power to investigate, we will accidentally ignite our own spiritual power! At least at present, we do not have the ability to save ourselves. ”
"This 'ronin' organization is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface! It is very likely that it hides a bigger secret!" He Qianjun looked at He Qianjun who was still asleep and thought about it.
......
The caravan resumed its original route and headed for the basin.
And those who stayed in place looked at the dense magic marks on the ground, and more than 20 people didn't dare to move, for fear of touching some mechanism and reimbursing them here. I waited bitterly for two hours to pass.
In the carriage, Ji Qingxi asked curiously, "What are you painting on the ground for those people?" Zong Ming explained the situation embarrassedly.
"Wow, I don't see it, you guys are also in a bad stomach. ”
Zong Ming blushed and didn't speak. But that's not a bad thing, is it?
Two hours later, the people who had been left behind began to move, and the two magicians touched the mark and cursed.
......
During this period, Lu Shan came many times to ask everyone to accept the payment, but when Changyan woke up and didn't know what to say to him, he smiled happily like a child!
Since then, he has been arranging for Xiao Er to take care of their daily life. And his brother and eldest son were escorted back to the family for disposal. It can be regarded as an explanation to the mercenary group and Changyan to them.
"Second brother, you are reckless this time. I can guess the approximate reason from the information they gave me. It's not to blame you for anything, it's to be clear that we're a group, the situation is not good, and it's important to save your life. ”
"Captain, it's not all Chang Yan's fault this time, as long as that person doesn't die, there will be endless troubles!" Ji Qingxi on the side excused Chang Yan.
He Qianjun said: "Be careful of the "Ronin" organization in the future, if we kill the members of their 100-person list, there will be some chaos if we don't keep it."
"I know what one of their purposes is, the place shared by the Shang and He families! There must be the shadow of the five major families behind them! Opening that place requires not only the token of your He family, but also the token of the merchant. Bo Changyan said softly.
This means that they only lack the merchant's token. So the Lu family?"
"Yes, the Lu family is one of the eight supporters of the merchant back then, the merchant has the main order, the other eight families have the deputy order, the token is not just the key, the nine orders in one is the "container", the space container that can store living things!" Chang Yan seemed to remember something, and struggled to sit up and pull He Qianjun's shoulder, "Big brother, call the head of the Lu family, and the caravan stops advancing." The end is definitely the grave of our gang!"
He Qianjun turned around with a dark and solemn face and was about to go to find the head of the Lu family, but before Chang Yan could speak, he already understood the meaning in his eyes and was ready to leave.
"Second brother, I'll go with me, in case something really happens, we can take care of it. After Zong Ming finished speaking, he put down the ointment he had been concocting, got up and chased after him. He Qianjun stopped him on the road before he ran far, handed him the dagger, didn't say anything, patted him on the shoulder and went to do their own things.
......
The caravan stopped 30 kilometers from its destination. Begin to pull the wagon into the woods and settle it. Everyone didn't ask He Qianjun why, they were grateful to their gang of life-saving benefactors!
Ji Qingxi was already able to move freely, and the spiritual power of the spiritual medicine concocted by Zong Ming and Xue Zixin had recovered and was even stronger than before.
And Chang Yan can already move his body, but he can't release magic because of the meridian problem, because he hasn't found a suitable elixir, Xue Zixin has not reached the middle level of magician, and he can't perform high-level healing techniques. can only wait for Changyan to heal slowly.
After a while, except for the departing Zong Ming and Midnight, the leaders in the woods had already gathered! After everyone sat down, Chang Yan was not polite, and directly began to ask: "Is the merchant's token still on you?"
Seeing the hesitation of the middle-aged man, Chang Yan threw out his identity token, the identity token carved by purple Tongyun, with a business character engraved on the front and back, surrounded by the unique plum blossom mark of the merchant. The middle-aged man looked through it carefully. It's like it's completely certain. Took out a box from the space ring, and after several inverted times, the box was finally opened, which was roughly similar to the Changyan token. But none of you can tell.
"This token was worn to me from my grandfather's generation. Just waiting for his original master to return, the Lu family is already in ruins. The middle-aged man looked at the token and sighed.
"I'm not trying to take it back, I'm just going to make sure it's still there, let's wait for midnight for them to come back, I hope my judgment is wrong!"
Chang Yan picked up the token, looked at the complex lines on it, and was stunned, his thoughts had drifted away......
Seeing this situation, Liu Ying handed He Qianjun, who was now at the entrance of the tent, an inquiring look. He Qianjun shook his head. I kept looking at the path in the forest. It shouldn't be long before there is news.
The group was silent, and it was almost noon at this time......
Xiao Tian flew at high speed over the trees, blessed Zong Ming and himself with the Wind Surge Technique in the middle of the night, his body became light, and he stepped on the trees and ran towards the town marked on the map. Stopped at a distance of two kilometers from the town.
At midnight, through Xiaotian's field of vision, I observed the movement of the town, someone at the door led the cow home, and the loose flow of people appeared at the gate of the town from time to time without finding anything abnormal.
Zong Ming's body was a little stiff at the moment, pretending to be nothing, turning his head to look at Midnight and saying, "Boss, you haven't encountered any special circumstances, right?"
"Third brother, I didn't find anything abnormal, let's go back and report. ”
"Well, you go back first, I'll wait for you here, and I'll let you know in time if there's anything unusual in a while!"
Midnight did not doubt it, and a dodge went away. When midnight was completely gone, Xiao Tian hovered in the sky for a while and flew away.
Zong Ming was hunched at the moment, his forehead was very cold sweat, his hand reached into his arms and took out the dagger, and shouted at the shadow: Come out, I see you.
A man in black manifests from a dark shadow. Huo Huo smiled: "You are the first person who can feel my existence so far, so, you go and die!"
