Chapter 80: The Queen's Game of Chess
So, under the leadership of Qian Yifan, they cut down bamboo and wood, tied wooden rafts, and everyone carried Liu Yiyi onto the raft and quickly crossed the river. They quickly set up tents on a sandy plateau by the river, and divided into two groups just in case: Qian Yifan, Liu Yiyi, Du Yanjun, and Xin Ruofei lived in the same tent; Jiang Yaqing, Zhao Shiyan, Lu Xian'er, and Li Zhuangzhuang lived in a group and lived in the same tent. Qian Yifan ordered: Li Zhuangzhuang and Jiang Yaqing will be on duty in the first half of the night, and I, Zhao Shiyan, and Lu Xian'er will be on duty in the second half of the night. Xin Ruofei and Auntie took turns to take care of the captain, and reported the abnormality immediately.
Be! The team members replied in unison.
The sun was already hanging on the distant peaks, like a fireball rolling over the overlapping mountains. Everyone was nervously waiting for the masked man to appear. However, every time it was a disappointment. The last rays of the sun are swallowed up by the night. Qian Yifan: They lit a bonfire in the tent. Liu Yiyi still seemed to be asleep, with no sign of waking up. Xin Ruofei seemed to be sitting on pins and needles, and her mind was restless. Du Yanjun sighed, holding her daughter's hand with tears in her eyes, and couldn't stop crying. Qian Yifan was also in a sad mood. Lu Xian'er kept persuading Du Yanjun and said: Auntie, Sister Yiyi must be auspicious and can turn evil into good fortune!
Li Zhuangzhuang and Jiang Yaqing, who were on duty outside, were also in a restless mood and uneasy.
Five or six hours had passed, and the captain had not yet woken up. Jiang Yaqing said to Li Zhuangzhuang: Did you say that the masked man would come back? Have we all been deceived?
I can't think of a reason why the Mask Man would want to lie to us! Li Zhuangzhuang said: I hope he is sincerely willing to help us.
But there was no trace of him! Jiang Yaqing said in a solemn tone: Who is the mask man? Since we left Snow Goose Island and came to Lulan Peak, the road has never been peaceful. It's as if a pair of eyes are staring at us all the time. If it is said that the blue people are looking for and hunting us, but most of the people who have accidents are blue people, which is really incredible. I always felt that the mysterious people with white feathers in their collars seemed to have something inextricably linked to us, but I couldn't say what they were.
You want to say that those eyes are still the masked people! Li Zhuangzhuang said: In fact, not only are they still stalking us, but there are also many pairs of eyes secretly watching us. Our every move is under their control. However, I guess their purpose is different. Why do the blue people want to hunt us down but don't kill us? The mysterious man with a white feather in his collar is not the one who pursues us. If you think about it, we set up tents to rest, and they pitched tents to watch over us from afar. If they wanted to kill us, they themselves wouldn't have been attacked by white ghost vampires. As for still, I think he's more mysterious and fearsome than the others. If he had secretly tried to kill us, he would have killed us all.
So, the question ......? Jiang Yaqing was impatient and couldn't understand what else she wanted to ask, Li Zhuangzhuang immediately interrupted and took over the conversation and said: You want to say that the question is why he didn't kill us. In fact, there are two answers: one is that he is our enemy. What he wants is what we're looking for; The second is that he is our friend, and he is quietly protecting us in secret.
That's impossible! Jiang Yaqing immediately retorted: If he is a friend, why do you hide your identity and wear a mask?
That's right, that's the crux of the matter! Qian Yifan suddenly approached Li Zhuangzhuang and said: There are still four hours, the captain's life hangs by a thread, if he still doesn't show up, then we are really fooled.
Vice Captain, why don't you rest? Why did it come out too? Li Zhuangzhuang hurriedly said to Qian Yifan: You better go and rest, here are me and Jiang Yaqing, don't worry, it's okay!
Actually, I came out a long time ago, right next to you, and I heard all your conversations. Qian Yifan said: Comrade Li Zhuangzhuang's analysis is not unreasonable, and his worries are also reasonable. Your Jiang Yaqing's worries are also justified. In short, it is all full of mystery and challenges. We are warriors and scientists, and although we do not believe in superstitious ghosts and gods, we cannot explain some of the mysteries of nature for the time being. Therefore, while we doubt everything, we must also be convinced that certain factors are possible and correct.
Sister Yifan, seeing that the time is approaching, if what he still says is true, then why hasn't he come yet? Is the twelve hours he said true? Lu Xian'er wandered very uneasily, wishing that she would still appear immediately.
But, Lu Xian'er, I understand your mood at this moment, and all of us are in the same mood as you at this time. Qian Yifan comforted Lu Xian'er and said: We have to believe that it is still the same, no matter what his purpose is, at least his motive seems to be well-intentioned for now. If there are only ten minutes left, and there is still no appearance, we will give the captain an antidote pill. After all, Captain Liu Yiyi is a life, a living person, she is just unconscious. We can't jump to conclusions and joke with a person's life, or treat it as a test or experiment!
All right! I'll wait! I respect everyone's opinions! Lu Xian'er said sadly: Seeing that Sister Yiyi has been asleep, I really want to cry!
Lu Xian'er, you are also our good sister, you can't cry! Qian Yifan comforted: At least we have to take into account Aunt Du's feelings. The captain is her biological daughter, and it is not easy to find a meeting, but the captain is ..... alas! Auntie is more uncomfortable than you and me! You tell me? Lu Xian'er, let's wait, wait!
It was late at night. Qian Yifan waited outside the tent with his eyes in wait. Everyone's expressions were serious and nervous. There is still no news.
This abominable thing is still there, where the hell are you? Is it deceiving us? Lu Xian'er stomped her foot and asked hatefully.
At this time, they are still on the way to the Dryad.
It turned out that he still quietly left Snow Goose Island, and he didn't know where to go to find Liu Yiyi and them. However, at this moment, a group of people came out of Yun Lanni's palace, all dressed in plain clothes, and each of them had a white feather stuck in their collar. Still immediately hid in a corner of the wall, and unexpectedly overheard their conversation.
Commander Landa, is our mission to track them? A man asked very humbly.
More than that, we want to get what the queen wants. Lan Da said coldly: And take back the golden cloud flute and kill the masked man.
And what about that princess? Another of his subordinates asked: Does Princess Lu Xian'er know? Will she agree?
This is the Queen's brilliant chess game, not something you or I can understand and fully understand. Lan Da scolded sharply: There are some things you don't know or the less you know, the better, otherwise be careful of your dog's life! The only way to obey the Queen's orders is absolutely, where do you get so much nonsense?
