Chapter 224: The First Step
When Yan Hua said the word "Black Sea" to Liu Shixin, even Xiong Chengdu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
The Black Sea, of course, is not a sea, but a real hot lake located in the depths of the ice field.
It is said that the Black Sea is directly under the mantle, and even in places like the Wanli Ice Field, it is not frozen all year round, so naturally a large number of supernatural beasts have gathered to live around, and there are many eight-star and nine-star existences at this level.
"What a ruthless boy, I want to take this opportunity to completely leave the seventh seat of the Adjudicator in the Ten Thousand Miles Ice Field!" Xiong Cheng looked at Yan Hua with a faint gaze and secretly took a cool breath.
Liu Shixin's face remained unchanged and said, "I know, I will go there to find Ling Feixue back, and as for Chi Han, I will leave it to you." ”
"Okay."
Yan Hua responded, then stood up and said, "Without further ado, in order to prevent Chi Han from escaping from the Wanli Ice Field, we will set off now." ”
Liu Shixin just wanted to say something, but Xiong Cheng on the side took the first step to speak: "It's not early, you better stay here and rest for one night before leaving." It just so happens that our Xiongcheng mercenary group is going to hold a banquet tonight, and you guys are also coming to be lively. ”
Yan Hua frowned, and then inadvertently found that Xiong Cheng's gaze was falling on Xiong Chao's body, thought about it and smiled: "Then we will disturb." ”
"Haha!"
Seeing that Yan Hua agreed, Xiong Cheng laughed happily twice, and then turned to Liu Shixin and said, "Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, how about Lord Liu also participate?" ”
Liu Shixin hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and finally nodded slowly and said, "Yes." ”
The smile on Xiong Cheng's face became brighter and brighter, and he immediately yelled towards the door: "Old Wei! Hurry up and inform the rice bucket that we are going to have a New Year's banquet tonight. ”
With Xiong Cheng's order, the stronghold of the entire Xiongcheng mercenary group boiled.
......
Night gradually fell, but the valley of the Xiongcheng mercenary group was illuminated as bright as day by countless braziers.
Like the Cambrian Annual Meeting, the banquet of the Xiongcheng Mercenary Regiment was also in the form of a buffet, with piles of food placed in the martial arts arena for passing guests to use.
But unlike Cambrian, the atmosphere of this banquet was even more lively, Yan Hua was still together with Su Xiaoxiao and others, but after a while, they dispersed.
Xiong Chao was called away by his mother, and Su Xiaoxiao and Xia Zhou noticed that Chi Leng's mood was a little low, so they took her aside to whisper.
As for Jin Guan, they were dragged by Ning Wushuang to the hugging bear, and while enjoying the food, they looked at this eight-star level ability beast intentionally or unintentionally.
However, I didn't see Liu Shixin's figure, and the other party didn't seem to be used to this kind of occasion, except for showing up at the beginning, and then disappearing.
Yan Hua didn't pay much attention to Liu Shixin's movements, and after confirming everyone's location a little, he shuttled through the crowd with Roaring Sky, and soon found Bai Qi standing alone in the corner.
"Give!"
Yan Hua handed over a piece of doughnut and said to Bai Qi, "This is delicious." ”
Bai Qi slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Yan Hua lightly, and said, "I think we shouldn't waste time." ”
Yan Hua maintained the movement of stretching out his hand, and smiled indifferently: "You always have to combine work and rest, don't you?" At this point in the plan, our role is really not much, and the rest is left to luck. ”
Bai Qi looked at Yan Hua fixedly for a few seconds, then took the doughnut, took a bite and swallowed it, and then asked, "You put the plan on hold for Xiong Chao's sake, right?" ”
Yan Hua nodded and said: "Not only Xiong Chao, everyone's holidays and New Year's are all in vain because of the mission, as the head of the regiment, I naturally want to help you make up for this regret." ”
Bai Qi's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and then silently stuffed the remaining doughnuts into his mouth, and after eating, he said softly: "Thank you, the donuts are delicious." ”
Yan Hua smiled and said, "You're welcome." ”
"After this mission, I'm going home." Bai Qi was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "I must take advantage of the time I still have to personally investigate some things." ”
"Actually, my previous thoughts were just some speculations, otherwise I wouldn't have tested Liu Shixin."
Yan Hua came to Bai Qi's side, also leaning on the stone wall, looking at the jubilant scene in the distance, and said faintly, "And now that the situation in various gathering places is not stable, even if the Cambrian Academy and the Supreme Council really find out something, they will not act rashly, so you actually have a lot of time." ”
Bai Qi shook his head and said, "I had already planned to go home this winter vacation, and this kind of thing is not important to me. ”
Yan Hua asked casually, "Is there anything you need my help with?" ”
Bai Qi replied: "This is my own business, and I don't need you to interfere." ”
The corners of Yan Hua's mouth curled slightly, and said, "Okay, I promise that I will never interfere this time, but I still hope to go with you to the Oriental Gathering Place." ”
"Huh?"
Bai Qi let out a puzzled sound.
Yan Hua suddenly bent down, hugged the sky that was staring at him in front of him, and said slowly: "If I say it's curious, you definitely don't believe it, but I do have some things I want to deal with." ”
Bai Qi frowned slightly, and asked, "Do you want to go to the Ling family?" ”
Yan Hua suddenly turned his head to look at Bai Qi, his eyes were full of surprise: "How do you know?" ”
"After listening to what you said when I came here before, it's not hard to guess." Bai Qi replied lightly, "And your acting skills are really bad." ”
Yan Hua couldn't help but have a look of distress on his face, and said to himself with a little funny: "Why do you even say that?" Is my acting really that unsightly? ”
"It's not that it's unsightly, it's that the drama is too much. Just like when you want to lure Liu Shixin to the Black Sea deep in the ice field during the day, the traces of the trap are too obvious. ”
Bai Qi looked at Yan Hua's expression, and felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, and then thought about it and reminded, "I can even see this kind of strategy, I think the other party has probably guessed your intentions." ”
"No wonder you said I shouldn't waste my time." Yan Hua suddenly realized, "Do you want to say that my layout has failed?" ”
Bai Qi asked lightly: "Liu Shixin didn't appear, there is a high probability that he went to chase Chi Han, if he really stopped Chi Han at that time, would you still think that your plan was successful?" ”
"I didn't expect to fail in the first step!"
Yan Hua sighed inexplicably, but he didn't have the slightest sense of frustration, but suddenly showed a smile and said, "Originally, I was still a little worried, but after you reminded me like this, I breathed a sigh of relief." ”。
"Huh?" Bai Qi instantly stood up straight, his eyes flickering as he looked at Yan Hua.
Yan Hua also slowly stood firm, and the corners of his mouth curled up in an arc: "The more complicated any strategy is, the easier it is to make mistakes, because it indicates more risks and variables, and I just let the opponent know my first step, because only in this way can I lead the opponent's first step." ”
