"Squadron leader, he's Ning Yue, and the wanted warrant is ......"
Seeing this, the previous man still refused to give up. It's a pity that before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by the woman who came.
"I know. Remember, you are not the enemy. Okay, Cao Tong, there's nothing for you here, I'll take over next. Wake up your people and go back to their original posts. ”
"Yes."
Obviously still not convinced, but the captain who was called Cao Tong still accepted, put his sword into the sheath, walked to the side and leaned over to slap the two subordinates, trying to wake them both up.
Glancing at the badge on the other party's chest, it was just a glance, Ning Yue smiled: "I haven't seen you for a few days, it seems, you have been promoted?" ”
The badge was different from the other three, with a silver feather-like pattern with a light gold in it.
"Thanks to your help last time, it can be regarded as a lot of credit, and it has risen by one level by luck." The woman smiled and bowed her head, and soon, she noticed Zhili who was still a little vigilant on her side, glanced at Ning Yue suspiciously, and asked, "Who is this little sister, she looks a lot younger than you, and her strength is so terrifying." ”
In this regard, Zhili replied: "Before asking people, should you introduce yourself first?" ”
"Her name is Su Qian, and she has some friendship with me."
Ning Yue said with a smile, walked over and pressed Zhili's head.
The woman in front of her was Su Qian, Chang Xuanxuan's old acquaintance, who had met him in Qingfeng City at the beginning, and acted together with Ying Tianxu and others to exterminate the stronghold of the Holy Mission. Later, because Zhang Long recognized his identity, Su Qian even helped to lure away the pursuers, and then there was a bloody battle side by side, which can be regarded as a fateful friendship.
For her, Ning Yue naturally believed it.
And that badge represents naturally an elite team in the Imperial City Guard, Hunting. Last time, Su Qian was only at the level of squad leader, and this encounter has risen by one level, squadron leader.
Compared to this, Ning Yue cared more about her strength, the last time they met, she was the same as him now, the Spirit Awakening Realm was threefold. However, at this moment, it is already the fifth level of the Spirit Awakening Realm, and this progress is very fast.
"Su Qian? Why do you feel like you've heard of this name somewhere? Zhili pouted, as if she was in deep thought, but she was soon awakened by Ning Yue patting her head again, looking at Su Qian, who was sassy with a pair of good-looking eyes, nodded and said, "Since you are Ning Yue's brother's friend, it is Zhili's friend." Sister Su Qian, you are so good-looking. ”
"Zhili is also very beautiful."
Su Qian smiled, leaned down in front of Zhili, and subconsciously wanted to touch the girl's head, but because Ning Yue's hand did not move, he had to withdraw it.
Immediately, she moved her eyes and asked, "I haven't seen you for a few months, but your strength has increased a lot." Moreover, during this time, there have been a lot of rumors about you. Naturally, the wanted bounty is also rising. ”
Ning Yue teased back: "Your strength has also increased dramatically. How about it, do you want to try it, can you catch me? ”
"Have you forgotten? At the beginning, but you said it yourself, if the wanted warrant has not been lifted when you meet again, you want me to help protect you. I'm going to be an accomplice. ”
Su Qian covered her mouth and smiled, and in the next moment, she seemed to notice that her gaze on one side was not quite right, and she turned her head to look, just in front of Cao Tong and his two awakened subordinates, and the eyes of the three people were all in disbelief and surprise.
Without waiting for her to speak, Cao Tong took out a wanted notice from his sleeve, spread it out, and asked, "That squadron leader, is he really the wanted Ning Yue?" It's a little far from what is drawn on the wanted post......"
His gaze fell, and in an instant, Ning Yue's heart was also surprised.
It's not that he hasn't seen the wanted warrant before, and the portrait on it can be said to be seven points similar, so he won't be mistaken. But the one in front of me completely makes people feel like it's another person.
The rough facial features are not mentioned, and the face is full of obscene ferocity, which makes people feel that there is a very indebted feeling, no matter how you look at it, you feel that you are a heinous murderer.
There are also more notes at the bottom, stating some of his actions in the Mist Mountains, but he was smeared as an accomplice behind the scenes. At the end, it is also marked that it may be related to the Red Wolf Organization.
As for the bounty...... Two hundred and fifty thousand silver coins!
"Who painted this, it's completely degrading my image!"
As soon as he snatched the wanted warrant, Ning Yue directly tore it into countless confetti. The following half-truths and half-truths of the crime narrative, if added to the nonsense portraits, are simply the best evidence, and people cannot subconsciously believe it.
"What's the use of tearing up? Similar wanted notices are available in all major cities of the Snow Dragon Empire. But if you don't draw like it, no one will trouble you. But today, what's going on? ”
Su Qian shook her head and looked at Cao Tong and the three of them with puzzled eyes again.
"Squadron Leader, do you really want to shield him?" There was no answer, Cao Tong was puzzled.
Su Qian shook her head again and said, "What is written on the wanted notice may not be true. In the past few years, those who have been framed and wronged in the Snow Dragon Empire have been beaten into tricks because they have not found out the truth, how can those people be missing? I only believe what I see with my own eyes. For the sake of his companions and the justice in his heart, he can risk his life to fight against the real evildoers, even if he really violates the laws of the empire, there must be a reason. Chivalry violates the prohibition with martial arts, and Confucianism violates the law with literature. On my first day as a hunter, I swore to use my sword to rule over the injustices of the world, and not to become a sword for the nobles to play tricks of power. If you want to denounce me, please. ”
Hearing this, Cao Tong hurriedly shook his head and replied, "Who does the squadron leader think of me?" Since you don't think he deserves to be wanted, so do I. You two, did you hear me, you didn't see anything today. ”
"Yes." The two people behind him nodded hurriedly, and it seemed that they were not going to disobey the yang.
"Thank you."
Ning Yue replied, Hunting has a lot of privileges in the Snow Dragon Empire, and it belongs to the special armed crusade-type elite guards, and if you really have a grudge against them, you will definitely have a bad time in the future. Su Qian is just a squadron leader, and he can't hold down too much.
"If it's okay, go back first."
Seeing this, Su Qian nodded and waved her hand. Some things, of course, have to be said in private.
Who knows, Cao Tong was a little hesitant and replied: "That, we really happened to meet him today." Come here, there is a mission. ”
"Huh? Could it be true that you invited me to come with me before, and not to trap me in your encirclement? Ning Yue was stunned.
"Mission?" Su Qian was also a little surprised.
Cao Tong nodded and continued: "The old man of the Yuan family in this multigrain shop, who is addicted to phantom powder, was found foaming at the mouth and fainting in an alley this morning. You also know that there are instructions from above, once you find someone contaminated with phantom powder, you must arrest and manage it in a unified manner. ”
"Catch it?"
Suddenly, Ning Yue was startled, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.
"No, you misunderstood."
Su Qian hurriedly explained, and then said: "Phantom powder is too addictive, and many strong-willed people are likely to succumb. Many people have been deceived and infected, and they will face a painful death after losing their family property. The order passed down from above was that once the addict was discovered, he was to keep them under control, lock them all in small rooms, and force them to quit their addiction. Until it is successful, it is not allowed to be released. Akari is also one of the guards who cooperate with this mission. ”
"I see, you arrested the old man of the Yuan family, and you came to inform your family, right?" Ning Yue nodded, already understood.
Cao Tong sighed and replied, "Yes, inform his family to go and see him for the last time." The old man is too addicted, and the toxicity of phantom powder penetrates deep into the internal organs and bone marrow, and there is no cure. Today's poisonous hair, I'm afraid I have lived for a few hours. ”
"What did you say?"
Not far away, an exclamation came, and immediately after, a figure rushed over recklessly.
Yuan Qing had just come out of the neighbor's house in front of her, and Ning Yue had also noticed it, so she asked questions on her behalf, but she never thought that it would be such a result.
His arms were tightly grasped, Cao Tong didn't struggle, just looked at the anxious woman in front of him, and said, "Presumably, you are the granddaughter of the old man, right?" He's dying, and now he's going to be with us, and he'll be able to see him one last time. ”
"Let's go!"
Yuan Qing roared, tears streaming down her face.
Looking at the backs of a few people leaving in a hurry, Ning Yue shook his head and sighed, "Before, Miss Yuanqing was still angry because her grandfather was infected with phantom powder, and her attitude was cold, and she planned to ignore it. In fact, who can really cut off the family affection and memory in their hearts? ”
"Why don't you go and see it together? I still have the permission to bring a few people in. Su Qian turned her head and asked.
"What, you don't have a mission today?"
"Well, it's time off."
After a while, Su Qian took Ning Yue and Zhili out of the town, and came to a place that looked like an army camp from the outside, with a staggered fence that enclosed an area of unknown areas, and through the gate, you could vaguely see that there were camp tents inside.
Indeed, as Su Qian boasted of, with her identity as the leader of the hunting squadron, the guards guarding the gate directly let her go, without asking Ning Yue and Zhili a word. Once in the camp, there were patrolling guards, well-equipped, and even mistaken for the impression that they were preparing for war.
"Actually, to lock people up in a place like this?" Ning Yue was a little surprised, it was the first time he had stepped into the barracks. Compared to the sect camp that I had seen in the Demon Haze Mountain Range, there was no doubt that there were too many norms and solemnities in terms of layout and vigilance, which made people secretly daunting.
"People who are addicted to phantom powder, once they get sick and can't get phantom powder, the whole person will lose all reason and be crazy like a beast. Therefore, the empire can only make this decision. Since the imperial capital began to spread outward in the beginning, similar camps were set up near various towns on the edge of the imperial capital, and there were even more in large towns. ”
Su Qian sighed helplessly, the atmosphere in this kind of place was extremely depressing, and she didn't want to come.
In the wind, there seemed to be bursts of scolding and screaming from time to time, Ning Yue listened to it in his ears, and his heart was more doubtful, but maybe he noticed Su Qian's bad face, so he simply didn't ask.
On his side, Zhili, who had followed all the way, had been cowering since she entered here, as if she was very uneasy.
"What's wrong, is Zhili uncomfortable?"
Ning Yue stopped and leaned over to her.
Zhili shook her head and replied, "It's not me, but many people here, all of whom are so miserable." Brother Ning Yue may not be able to hear clearly, but Zhili can hear it clearly. They were moaning, feeling like they were dying...... It's so pathetic......"
