Silverclaw Principality's border, the old mine of Dada Town, the temporary headquarters of the expeditionary force, in front of the rest room.

"Haven't woken up yet?"

Facing Xiang Caidie's question, Jianyue Canglian, who was kneeling on the side of the passage, shook her head gently.

"I'd love to see you nod." Xiang Caidie sighed, and her mood became a little depressed.

She walked over to the moon and Canglian, who moved to the side, giving up some of her place, and then she sat down.

"I hope to wake up before the harvest festival." Xiang Caidie said.

It has been a week since Chen Xing fell into a coma, and there is no sign of waking up. Chen Xing lay there, motionless, like a vegetative person. In order to prevent him from becoming dehydrated, he had already given him an amino acid drip.

The Harvest Festival is one of the most important festivals in the red world, starting from the Holy Light Church in the Western Continent, and is held on December 26 every year, which is as important as the "Spring Festival" in the Eastern Continent.

"I'm looking forward to it every second, and the master will wake up the next." Seeing Yuecanglia said. Now that there were ten days left before the harvest festival, she didn't want her master to be unconscious for so long.

"I'm just like you." Xiang Caidie quickly made her position clear.

Seeing Yuecanglia, she turned her face and nodded at her in approval.

Next, the two fell into a long silence. One sat on his knees, looking straight ahead, and the other sat on the ground, his hands propped up on the ground, looking at the incandescent light overhead.

At this moment, the outside of the mine is already heavily guarded.

The innermost are the Guards and Guards, and then the elite of the Chinese army. There are three layers inside and three layers outside, and not even a single mosquito can fly in.

Chen Xing is the soul and pillar of the expeditionary force, unlike other troops, it is over if you change the commander. Once something goes wrong with Chen Xing, the expeditionary force will be destroyed.

The reason is simple, the main composition of the expeditionary force is a mercenary group gathered from all over the world. They came together because of their common ideals and became Chen Xing's subordinates.

These people accounted for three-quarters of the expeditionary force, and no one could lead them with enough prestige except for Chen Xing, who was the successor of Tienuo.

Then there is the Gray Corner City Gate Valve family represented by Ye Yang Zhengxiong, and the forces of the Northern Wilderness Marginal Town represented by Mayor Prader, these are basically Chen Xing's personal friendships.

Not to mention others, joining the expeditionary force is nothing more than an opportunistic drive, the main purpose is to get promoted and make a fortune. If it weren't for the fact that Chen Xing was favored by the demon princess, they wouldn't have risked offending the Maris royal family and other mainstream magnates to join at all.

Therefore, once the news of Chen Xing's coma spread, the expeditionary force will immediately become a plate of scattered sand.

What's even worse is that Chen Xing is in a coma caused by the undercurrent of communication time and space, and he can't move his position casually.

If the enemy side grasps this news, I am afraid that in an instant, it will usher in a catastrophe.

"Is there something wrong with it, sending so many people to defend?" A Chinese soldier from the former North Bridge Regiment asked his commander.

"Shut your mouth!" The second lieutenant lowered his voice and said, "You can ask what you should ask, you can't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't mention a word!" ”

Near the mine is the warning area of the 1st Elite Regiment of the Guards.

"Deputy regiment, I haven't seen the boss for many days, do you think it will ......" The rat looked at the fire and glanced in the direction of the entrance to the mine, but did not finish the second half of the sentence.

Huo Tsui used to be the deputy head of the Thunder Light Regiment, and the rat was used to it, so he unconsciously used the previous name.

Huo Tsui clasped his hands on his chest, his thick shoulders bulging high, and he frowned slightly, muttering to himself, "It's a little strange......

The rat looked left and right, and whispered, "Look, do you want to ask Commander Xiang ......?"

The fire mouth pondered for a moment and shook his head, "It's not appropriate. ”

"Why is it not appropriate?" The rat looked disapproving, "You say, what is the relationship between us and the boss?" That's a two-ribbed knife, same

Life and death together, water and fire, closer than brothers. ”

"My brother is still a good account." The fire mouth said angrily.

"Okay, if you're afraid of the girls and don't dare to ask, then I'll go!"

The rat used the agitation method, but the fire nozzle was unmoved, "Come on, you, now it's not a question of whether you are afraid or not, but whether it is suitable or not." Huo Tsui grinned, "So, why was I a deputy regiment back then, but you were a flag bearer." ”

"That's the iron boss is eccentric, and he likes fat people." The rat said, his expression very unhappy.

"Look at your hard mouth." Firemouth laughed even better, and then patted the rat on the shoulder, "Okay, okay, no kidding you." He said with a straight face, "Now the boss is the commander of the army." As the saying goes, the state has its own laws, and the army has military regulations. ”

"It's not as good as when we were in the Thunder Light Regiment now, we can do whatever we want, everything has to follow the rules."

"The boss appointed Miss Xiang as the deputy commander of the whole army, and naturally he has a reason. It's our business to carry out orders. ”

"Believe in the boss, believe in the boss's judgment, if there is really something, Miss Xiang will definitely discuss it with us as soon as possible."

"You see that there are so many people here, only we are guarding the door, who is our own brother, Miss Xiang knows very well in her heart."

After some persuasion, the rat finally let go ......of his doubts.

The same doubts plagued the group of masters on reconnaissance missions on the outskirts of Dada Town.

"Big meow, you said Mr Qin hasn't contacted us for many days?" Cassie stared and puffed out his mouth like a curious chimpanzee.

"Hmm." The big cat nodded, "According to the previous habit, he would contact me every three days or so to inquire about the situation. ”

The master regiment is Chen Xing's pro-army, and it is also the army under the direct leadership, and only accepts the orders of Chen Xing alone.

Since this week, the big cat has only received an order from Xiang Caidie, and Chen Xing has not contacted him personally. He immediately realized that something might be wrong with Chen Xing.

But Xiang Caidie didn't say it, and he didn't want to ask.

Chen Xing also once confessed that in an emergency, Xiang Caidie could represent him.

It's no problem to carry out orders, but the big cat has been in the Beiqiao regiment and knows Xiang Caidie's true level, and it's okay to lead a small team, but the big army is stretched. She, like him, has no problem being Chen Xing's executor, but she must be lacking in being alone.

"Mr. Qin is not dead!" Cassie's eyes suddenly widened, and the whites of her eyes bulged outward, looking a little funny. He danced with his hands, "Isn't it heavenly, Feifeifei, angels Feifeifei......"

"No, no, it's not!" The big cat hurriedly denied it. This Cassie's mind is still too simple, and when you discuss problems with him, you are likely to leak your mouth.

"I guess I have won the battle recently, I am slack, I am too drunk, and I can't get out of bed......" The big cat said with a little helplessness.

"It's definitely La!" Cassie clenched his fists and said angrily, "Mr. Qin has a lot of wives, I love this and love that, it's very bad, I used to force me to ...... with ugly women" The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and the saliva foam sprayed on the big cat's face, "That woman has a fox smell, it stinks to me, and there is a fat one, a big meow, as fat as you, so I can't breathe, you know what, I just want to breathe......"

Looking at the black guy who kept talking, the big cat couldn't help but rub his brows.

Whenever this happens, he thinks of Lao Ji. If the old man is still alive, at least there is someone who can discuss things, instead of being sprayed with spit all over his face like now, and he has to constantly nod his head in agreement, lest the other party leak the news.

But what the big cat didn't know was that the two women didn't dare to tell anyone about it until now. Because in their eyes, all people can be traitors.

Originally, when encountering this kind of thing, the first person who should have been informed was Lin Shiyuan, Chen Xing's chief of staff, and the think tank of the expeditionary force.

However, Xiang Caidie didn't dare. She didn't know much about Lin Shiyuan, she only knew that the other party was a person brought back by Chen Xing from White Elephant City, and she was good at writing poems, and she often chanted with the aristocratic widows on the Internet, and she also started a poetry club, total

It's very unseemly.

To be honest, Xiang Caidie hates such a man very much, soaking in the women's pile all day long, fiddling with coquettishness, not doing business, and doesn't think he has the ability to command militarily.

But that's not the most important thing, in her opinion, loyalty to Chen Xing is the most important thing. She has not found any of them so far, and she has enough convincing evidence to prove that Lin Shiyuan is trustworthy.

As for others, even if they can be trusted, what's the use of saying it?

Maybe the fire mouth and the big cat are trustworthy, but speaking out, except for a few more people to know, it won't help anything. She couldn't expect two simple-minded and well-developed men to be smarter than her, or to have more social resources and connections than her, a Sanctuary powerhouse.

The principle of confidentiality is that if it is not necessary, one less person knows about it, and there is less risk.

If the other party is loyal, they will faithfully carry out her orders even if they don't know it. Because Chen Xing had explained in advance, in case of emergency, she could exercise the right of the supreme commander of the expeditionary force on her behalf. She, the deputy commander of the whole army, is not just a decoration.

If the other party has different intentions, knowing it is a disaster.

Which is more important, just think about it.

So, she had to keep it a secret. The only thing she can do now is to block the news and wait for Chen Xing to wake up.

But in case, Chen Xing can't wake up......

She slapped her face vigorously, not daring to think about the consequences.

A man who gave her her first taste of being a woman, a man who promised her all her future, a man who was amorous and ruthless, funny and uninteresting......

If he had disappeared, perhaps her heart would have died with her, and she would have become an empty shell without a soul.

The little maid next to her closed her eyes and clasped her hands together, as if she was praying. Court maids have no gods, their master is their supreme god, so who is she praying to?

Thinking of this, Xiang Caidie changed her posture, knelt on her knees, clasped her hands with each other, lowered her head and closed her eyes, and thought silently in her heart.

"O goddess of iron who is brave and strong, steadfast and united, invincible, please listen to my prayers......"

In the endless darkness, a glimmer of light lit up.

After a glance, Chen Xing quickly closed the cover and took the pocket watch into his arms, trying not to let the light pass through as much as possible.

He has been observing all this time.

It's a wharf, the road is long, the feet are boarded, the sides are flanked by wooden fences, under the planks, I can't see what it is, in short, I don't hear the sound of water.

The carrion in front and behind them were not motionless, occasionally shaking twice and taking a few steps forward.

Because the dock was very narrow, there was not enough space on either side, so he had no way to run to the front or the back, so he could only stand in his place stupidly like these rotting corpses. He was able to move a few steps forward whenever the team moved forward.

After this period of observation, he discovered a pattern.

Whenever the hour and minute hands in the pocket watch pass at twelve o'clock, the procession advances a little bit.

Then he began to wonder if it was like queuing up to get on the boat, where every twelve o'clock a ferry would pass by. The carrion in front of them got on the boat, so the team moved forward a bit.

Or, line up to make sacrifices......

Like standing in line to fill your stomach for something......

It's a bit scary to think about, you know, he's a weak dish here that can't even put out electricity at his fingertips.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing touched the copper watch in his arms, which was the only thing that could reassure him at the moment.

That venerable former mayor, a legend of the deep sea, won't you pit him?

There's no need to pit him, if you really want to pit him, can't you just sit by and watch before?

But the other party seems to be a little mentally abnormal......

In the middle of my thoughts, there was a creaking sound in front of me, and something seemed to be squeezing up from behind.

When the time came, he hurriedly moved forward.
