Chapter 21 Yang Shou's Tricks

The wind howled, and the sandstorm came. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Yang Shou entrusted Bill to Barkley and Hoover, solved his worries, rushed back to the barracks before noon, and then rushed to Caroline's camp as soon as possible.

This is the first time that a man has walked into the room of two girls, and it can be seen that the room has not had time to be cleaned up, all kinds of women's small belongings are thrown at random, and the quilt on the bed is bulging, revealing the corner of pink clothes.

There's only one bed~

Yang Shou's gaze lingered on the bed for a few seconds, smelling the girl's body fragrance in the room, and automatically made up the beautiful scenery of the two girls when they rested at night.

"What are you looking at?"

Jane's face was slightly red, and she quickly covered the bed with her eyes. Yang Shou came suddenly just now, Caroline was worried that something would happen, so she directly let Yang Shou in, so she didn't have time to clean up.

Yang Shou coughed and said to Caroline, "Did Thomas behave anything unusual after he came back?" ”

"The only unusual thing he's doing is to make you a scout."

Caroline shook her head, looked at Yang Shou, and showed worry: "He must be planning to make a move this time, if you leave the barracks, I won't be able to protect you......"

Yang Shou smiled and didn't care: "Lord Lord, how can I say that I am also a man, it is no problem to take care of myself, don't worry about it, I am here for another matter." ”

Yang Shou took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Caroline: "After I leave, the army will continue to drive north, and it is best to reach the destination normally, and then you can throw away this envelope directly." In case there is any unusual behavior on the part of Thomas, open this envelope and do as I have written. ”

After listening to Yang Shou's words, Caroline and Jane looked at each other, not understanding what kind of medicine Yang Shou was selling in the gourd.

"Listening to your tone, are you sure what Thomas will do?"

Caroline pinched the envelope, feeling that there should be a few pieces of paper inside, "Besides, what can Thomas do, could it be that he is going to be treasonous, or it is not good for me?" ”

Yang Shou shook his head, and said in his heart that you don't believe it now, take the lives of two thousand people in exchange for one thing, and your majesty will definitely do it.

"It's better than nothing, what if something happens,"

Yang Shou persuaded bitterly, and when he saw Caroline put the letter away, he was relieved: "No matter what happens, you remember, you must persevere, protect yourself, and I will definitely come back to help you." ”

Caroline had a strange feeling that the roles of the two sides had been swapped unconsciously, who was protecting whom?

But for some reason, Caroline nodded subconsciously.

Maybe this young man has done too many incredible things, even if it is a slightly absurd act today, Caroline's first thought is not that Yang Shou is lying, but that he really guessed something.

Do you trust him to such an extent? Or is there already a hint of dependence?

Caroline asked herself, unconsciously thinking of Yang Shou's strange eyes when the two first met, but she quickly put the question behind her and didn't want to think about it.

"You must obey this appointment, or you will be charged with disobedience and disrespect,"

Caroline put away those careful thoughts, took Jane's hand and said to Yang Shou: "It's too dangerous in the twilight valley, I let Jane follow you, so that no one will secretly treat you badly." ”

"No, no, that's not right."

Yang Shou hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, subconsciously looked at Jane, and found that the other party's black eyes showed a look of disappointment and dissatisfaction, and quickly explained: "This kind of action is too hard, Adjutant Jane is a girl, and I am no stranger to survival in the wild, so I can handle it." ”

Caroline shook her head, not giving Yang Shou room to refuse: "No, your talent and strength are a valuable asset to the empire, and I won't allow you to make any mistakes." ”

Yang Shou was speechless, and could only sigh in his heart.

At present, there is only so much he can do, and then, it depends on whether God can help or not.

Yang Shou returned to his tent, lay down on the bed, and took out the map he had just received from Caroline.

Taking advantage of the fact that the troops had not yet set off, Yang Shou had to seize the time to recall the nearby terrain. Although I have been here many times in the game, many details of the memory are a little blurry.

Danny's bed was next to Yang Shou.

Yang Shou wanted to leave Danny at the northern outpost to take care of Bill. There is bound to be a big battle next, and Yang Shou doesn't want to see Danny, who is still a child, die on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, I don't know if the army really needs Danny, a novice medic, or because Thomas looks at Yang Shou very unpleasantly, this proposal was directly vetoed by Thomas.

Danny was packing his luggage and bed, looking up at Yang Shou from time to time, as if he had something to say, but he didn't know how to speak.

Yang Shou found out about Danny's abnormality, and said angrily: "If you have something to say, how can you grind and chirp like a girl." ”

"Hee-hee~"

When Danny heard it, he immediately put down the things in his hand and ran over: "Brother Yang, this transportation mission is over, where are you going?" ”

Yang Shou thought for a moment, "If everything goes well, I should go back to the Orc Kingdom." ”

Danny was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and said, "Really, really? Can you take me with you, I don't want to go back to the Empire. ”

"How can it be done, what about your parents, are they relieved?" Yang Shou said strangely.

Danny's expression immediately darkened, and he sat on the edge of Yang Shou's bed, hesitated for a moment before telling the situation in his family.

It turns out that Danny's parents are both commoners in a small town and usually farm for a living, and Danny's father also runs a small handicraft workshop.

Half a year ago, Danny's family suddenly raised the tax rate, and because he couldn't pay the tax, Danny's father was arrested for military service and never returned. Danny's mother, who was already in poor health and supported the family alone, soon fell ill and died.

If it weren't for being adopted by a kind neighbor, Danny might not be alive now, let alone joining the army as a soldier.

"A lot of people in the town secretly left and wanted to beg for a living elsewhere, because the food they got from farming and the taxes they paid were not enough,"

Danny sobbed, head down, tears falling into his clenched fists, "Mom told me on her deathbed to find a way to get out of the house, and she said there was no hope. ”

Yang Shou was silent.

"If you go to the orc kingdom with me, it may be hard at first." Yang Shou thought about it and said with a smile.

"I'm not afraid of hard work!"

Danny looked up, his little face full of determination: "Just like Mom said, I don't want to live in a hopeless place!" I want to go to new places and see so many new people and new things! Brother Yang, you say, is there such a place, where there are no hateful nobles bullying us, and we can do what we want happily every day......"

"Haha~ That kind of place, there must be,"

Yang Shou rubbed Danny's head and smiled, "But if you want to find this place, you have to make yourself strong, strong enough to protect it." Otherwise, the bad people in other places will blush when they see that you are living so comfortably and come to bully you. ”

"Oh." Danny nodded understandingly.

"When I come back from the mission, let's set off together, and maybe there will be other friends with you~" Yang Shou said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, then Brother Yang, I'll wait for you to come back!"

Danny jumped three feet tall with joy, his little face flushed, and his young eyes glittered.

……

As the astrologer had predicted, the sandstorm came and went as fast as it came, and before noon, the sand died down.

The blue sky of the morning was gone, replaced by black clouds, slowly approaching overhead from the north. The clouds were low, and thunder was heard in the extreme distance, rolling overhead, signaling impending bad weather.

Yang Shou simply packed up his things and came to the gate of the camp to find Jane already waiting there.

The girl changed into a light set of clothes, and her military boots were replaced by small hiking boots, and her long sword was slung cross-body at her waist, and she stood there prettyly.

The breeze blew, blowing the corners of her clothes and short hair, making Yang Shou lose his mind for a moment.

Thinking that through his own efforts, he had the opportunity to pull such a girl back from the road of death, Yang Shou suddenly felt that the efforts and risks of these days were more meaningful.

"Let's go."

Jian Qing's cold voice came, and he turned around and left, Yang Shou couldn't help laughing and followed with steps.

The Twilight Valley is part of the Great Rift Valley and is not on the route of the army's advance.

But Thomas's appointment was not unfounded, for this place was very special and one of the greatest dangers on the trade route of the Rift Valley.

According to word of mouth, the valley was originally a sacred place for a certain ethnic group, but was completely destroyed in a major war and left in ruins.

Every day, strange screams and shouts of killing suddenly sound in the valley, and no amount of strong sunlight can shine into this deep valley. There is nothing but boundless darkness, forever shrouded in an eerie atmosphere, hence the name of the valley.

As the new scout captain, Yang Shou's mission is to monitor this valley and report the abnormal situation in the valley to the large army in a timely manner.

For unknown reasons, the valley is often filled with strange necromantic creatures that come out and attack passers-by. Sometimes there are some ghouls or large skeletons that ordinary people are powerless to resist.

In the game, once a living creature approaches, a large number of undead creatures will be refreshed in the valley, and they are endless, which is why Caroline warns Yang Shou that it is dangerous.

Yang Shou and Jian followed the gentle slope, and after half an hour, finally climbed to the top of the east side of the canyon.

Standing on the top of the mountain, the view suddenly opens up, and the dark clouds in the sky stretch all the way to the horizon, intersecting with the emerald wasteland.

On the ground, the Great Rift Valley winds and turns, like an old tree embedded in the earth, and its dry branches stretch in all directions, magnificent and magical.

Walking at the top of the canyon can avoid many detours, and the speed is several times faster than that of troops marching at the bottom of the valley.

Looking back, smoke and dust billowed from the bottom of the canyon, and the occasional low sound of toothless elephants and the "rumble" of rolling wheels meant that the army had been marched.

Jane withdrew her gaze and pulled the map from the tube around her waist.

"If we want to get to the Twilight Valley as fast as we can, we need to go east first, around the big chasm ahead, and then ...... north."

Jane carefully studied the map and quickly pointed out the best route. Yang Shou secretly glanced at it a few times, and found that the route to the twilight valley was clearly drawn on the map, and the difference in height and the beasts that might be encountered were marked in the middle with delicate handwriting.
