"Lord, ......"

A look of confusion suddenly appeared in Zhong Qingyuan's eyes.

Lu Dongqing smiled and said: "The prince actually led the army into the place of death, and he really can't understand his old man more and more." ”

Zhong Qingyuan sighed: "How can I guess the realm of the prince, the world says that I am the one who knows the prince best, but the longer I follow him, the farther away I feel from the real him." ”

"The prince launched this war, even you and I and these generals don't know the real purpose of his old man, that is, to attack the Northern Dynasty is also you fighting in front of the prince, why do you say the prince wants to fight this battle?"

Lu Dongqing asked suspiciously.

Zhong Qingyuan shook his head: "Who knows, I always have a faint feeling, in fact, the prince has long had a chance to dominate the world, but he doesn't seem to be keen on it."

It's like the elite of the Northern Dynasty was almost wiped out after the First World War in Jingyang, but the prince did not take the opportunity to launch a general attack on the Northern Dynasty, and he did not even maintain a high-pressure situation, which is really interesting. ”

Lu Dongqing was stunned: "Why do you think this is?" ”

"Disdain!"

Zhong Qingyuan sighed: "The prince seems to be very disdainful of dominating the world, no, not only dominating the world, he seems to be disdainful of everything. ”

"Dismissive?"

Lu Dongqing frowned, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Zhong Qingyuan shook his head: "Maybe this is the invincible loneliness, for the prince, I'm afraid these things are easy to do, so I can't make him interested." ”

"Is that so?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Lu Dongqing's eyes.

"Report!"

At this moment, a pro-soldier knelt behind the two of them holding a secret letter.

"Bring it in."

Zhong Qingyuan didn't look back, and said lightly.

The scout hurriedly handed the secret letter to Zhong Qingyuan, Zhong Qingyuan carefully checked the fire paint seal, and when he saw that it was not damaged, he tore open the envelope and opened it to look at it.

"Looking at the sealing method of fire paint, this doesn't seem to be the secret letter of dark chess, right?"

Lu Dongqing has been paying attention to his every move, and when he saw that the corners of his mouth were slowly hooked up with a sneer, he asked casually.

Zhong Qingyuan nodded: "Of course not, after the incident in the capital, the dark chess has been lost in the Northern Dynasty, how can it be of any use?" This is a chess piece that I buried in the Northern Dynasty, and now it is going to play a role. ”

"The chess pieces you buried in the Northern Dynasty?"

Lu Dongqing was stunned and looked at him in astonishment.

Zhong Qingyuan didn't explain anymore, and waved his hand: "The three armies of the Black Flag, Rhino Horn, and Silence are ordered to be pulled out immediately and rushed to the front line, the big battle is about to begin!" ”

At night, dark clouds cover the sky and it is pitch black.

In the primeval forest of Xichuan, black shadows wandered scattered in the dense forest, everyone was wearing colorful camouflage uniforms, and even their faces were painted with brown and green oil paint.

"Leader, the front should be about to enter the enemy's patrol range."

The spy in charge of the front investigation finally came back, and whispered in Cao Siyuan's ear in a low voice.

Cao Siyuan whistled in his mouth, like an ordinary bird's call, and the complex changes in it could only be understood by the people of the reconnaissance company, and even the people of the other companies of the Apocalypse Guard could only understand a rough idea.

Hearing this birdsong, several people in the dark shadows in the forest immediately whistled, and in an instant, the black shadows that were slowly advancing in the forest stopped one after another, and looked for cover nearby to hide.

"Did you spot the enemy's outposts?"

Cao Siyuan asked the scout softly.

The scout shook his head: "Not yet, but there are traces nearby, it shouldn't be far away." ”

Cao Siyuan nodded, and ordered to go down, the pioneer squad is responsible for trapping the secret sentinel, ensuring safety, and then arriving close to reconnoitre, this time must not startle the snake.

"Yes!"

The scout agreed, and turned to burrow into the bushes, which swayed a few times like a rabbit passing underneath, but soon regained their composure.

After a while, the low bushes in the depths of the jungle shook slightly, making a gentle "rustle" sound, and suddenly a black shadow swooped up, and the cold knife light flashed like cold ice, and the bushes suddenly collapsed like houses in an earthquake, and they were all cut off by the light of the knife.

"Hey, why isn't there anything?"

The knife was drawn by a young soldier in his twenties, who was holding the standard long knife in his helmet and armor, and looked at the bushes at his feet suspiciously.

"Hey, I'm afraid it's windy."

Not far away in the treetops, another soldier slowly put away the long knife in his hand and automatically disarmed the alarm.

"I've seen the bushes moving all the time, it's been a while, how can it be the wind?"

Still in disbelief, the young soldier rummaged through the dark bushes with wide eyes, as if he must find the culprit who had alarmed the bushes.

"That's rabbits, rats and other things, they've long since run away, where are you looking for them?"

Behind an old tree not far away, another soldier walked out, also put away his long knife, turned around and walked in the other direction.

"No way, the bushes move so badly, it's not a rabbit or a mouse."

As he spoke, he picked up a bush from the ground that he had cut down and brought it to his eyes, the surface of the bush seemed to have been scraped back and forth by something, and the skin had been worn out, revealing the delicate part of it.

"Huh? This is...... Hey, third brother, come and take a look. ”

The young soldier was slightly stunned, then turned to call out to his companion.

However, there was a dead silence in the dark jungle, not even the chirping of birds, let alone the response of their companions.

"Third brother, third brother?"

The young soldier's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but raise his voice and shouted twice.

"Broken ......"

Still no one responded, and his hand holding the knife gradually used force, leaning down, and his eyes carefully looked around, ready to deal with the enemy at any time.

"Third brother? Brother Black Dog? ”

The young soldier became more and more nervous, and subconsciously shouted again, but the surroundings were still quiet, and there was no response.

"Could it be that the enemy is nearby, and they have already been dealt with?"

The young soldier's palms gradually began to sweat, and his whole body was trembling slightly because he was too nervous.

However, just when he was about to lose his nerves, the dark shadow behind the old tree suddenly came out again, and a familiar reprimand came.

"Why don't you go quickly, what's the ghost called? Call the military commander in a moment, and tonight's salary will be gone again! ”

"Hoo ......"

When the young soldier heard his voice, instead of being displeased, he breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew his sword from its scabbard.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some movement under the treetop where the third brother had stayed, and subconsciously looked back, only to see that there seemed to be a black thing next to the root of the tree, I don't know what it was.

"Huh?"

The young soldier didn't dare to slack off, and pulled out his long knife again and headed towards the black shadow mold.

He approached slowly, but the shadow remained motionless, and the young soldier was almost sure that it was a dead thing, and only out of cautious habit did not turn back.

As we got closer, the silhouette of the dark shadow could be seen in the dark woods, as if a man was leaning against the roots of a tree.

He frowned, stepped over, and finally saw the appearance of the black shadow clearly, and was immediately shocked.

It turned out that the black shadow was none other than the third brother who was still in the treetops just now, at this time his eyes were wide open, blood was spilled on the ground, and his throat was cut silently.

"Ah, the third brother is dead, Brother Black Dog, there are enemies, there are enemies!"

The young soldier trembled, and instinctively ran towards the big tree where the black dog brother was, but the black dog also did not move, as if standing there and looking at him coldly.

He had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he didn't think much about it in a panic, until he ran to the black dog in one breath, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

Brother Black Dog, who was still speaking, had a long arrow the thickness of a thumb stuck in his left chest, nailing him firmly to the trunk of the tree, and from a distance, he looked as if he was standing there like Fang Cai, looking at him coldly.

"Brother Black Dog!"

The young soldier's eyes were split, and he subconsciously stepped back, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in his back, and the strength of his body seemed to be drained in an instant, and his legs could no longer support his body, and he fell headlong.

It was obvious that he had fallen badly, but the pain in his back became lighter and lighter, and his consciousness gradually began to blur.

Suddenly, he saw countless black shadows emerging from the nearby bushes, silently and coldly moving forward silently like the legendary ghosts who harvested the ghosts.

They all seemed to have their own goals, except for one of them, who touched him straight at him, and the others didn't even glance at him, and the dark shadow that came at him skillfully drew his dagger and stabbed him in the throat without hesitation.

At the last moment, the young soldier saw the hemp rope hanging from the black shadow's waist, and the lines of the hemp rope matched the marks left on the bushes.

It turned out that it was this hemp rope that pulled the shrub, so that the shrub has been slightly stirring, and after cutting off the shrub with a knife, the hemp rope was quickly pulled back, no wonder I couldn't find something to shake the shrub, this is a trap......

Before he could breathe, one last thought crossed the young soldier's mind.
