The orange-red afterglow reflected in the entire Blood Shadow Valley, even more vivid than the blood of the sacrificed soldiers, the river diluted the stench of corpses, the wind raised the pennant, and the temperature dropped near nightfall as drastically as it was outside the valley, but the chill had penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and no matter how much clothing was added, it did not feel warm.

"The fact that I can enjoy this beautiful scenery is undoubtedly proof of the justice of this war, and if the perpetrators of this war do not hesitate to destroy the natural environment, then I will do everything in my power to stop it. ”

"You are wrong, there are so many things that war can affect, beliefs, ideals, desires...... The power of the individual is too small, and it is important not to make promises that are difficult to fulfill, otherwise it will be too late to regret it. Mu Yunxi, who was standing in front of the guardrail of the plank road, heard Gomer's voice behind him, and replied without looking back.

"The boy who used to have the potential to be a detective has grown up and fulfilled his wish to become a good investigator, and I'm old. Gomel lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, "I'm very sorry for taking you as an associate of the Blood Shadow Band, after all, the unknown ship is docked in a pass not far from the Blood Shadow Valley, which is really suspicious. ”

"Don't mind, even if you don't attack the Blood Shadow Valley, we will try our best to sneak into the valley to save people, but it's a pity that it's ......" Mu Yunxi borrowed fire from Gomer and lit the cigarette in his hand, staring at the rising white smoke, silent.

"Don't look listless, or we'll go back and investigate and see if there's anything missing. Gomel said, glancing at the houses behind him.

"No need, I'm very confused now, I don't know what to do next?" Mu Yunxi exhaled smoke and showed a weak smile, "The murder case of Heglila Monastery has not been solved, and the abduction of Miss Zhao Cuiying has been brought to blame for my negligence, which has caused the whereabouts of the eldest lady to be unknown to this day, and I am too unsuccessful as a search officer." ”

"Don't worry, as long as you work hard, everything will be solved in the end, and then you have to relax to relieve stress, so don't miss the good wine and meat I have prepared for you tonight. Gomer leaned his right elbow on Mu Yunxi's shoulder and flicked off the cigarette ash in his hand, "Tomorrow I will lead the troops back to the royal capital, in order to repay the grace of saving my life in this battle, if you need help, you can come to me, I will do my best." ”

With that, Gomer waved his hand at Mu Yunxi and turned to leave.

The chill of the night came to an abrupt end as soon as it reached the pass outside the Valley of the Blood Shadow, and the soldiers here gathered arm in arm, shoulder to shoulder, in front of the campfire, to the cheerful beat, singing loud military songs, and the soldiers sitting around to admire were amazed, some raised bowls and drank wildly, some munched meat, and some talked loudly.

An officer ordered the soldiers to carry seven barrels of wine to the spacecraft, set up tables and chairs, pried open one of the barrels himself, filled it with eight big wrists, and then pointed to the bowl and laughed.

"Thanks to your help, our army was able to wipe out the evil Blood Shadow Regiment in one fell swoop, and my thanks to you are all here, one bowl per person, no more, no less, you must drink it. ”

The eight looked at each other, and then they showed different expressions of hospitality to the officer.

Lin Yaoxi picked up the bowl, sniffed it with her nose, and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry! I'm too young to drink." ”

Xue Shaoling, who was on the side, glanced at Lin Yaoxi and sneered contemptuously: "Please, you are only two years younger than me, and I can drink at least twenty bowls." ”

"Twenty bowls, don't brag, I don't think you can drink ten bowls. ”

Seeing that Lin Yaoxi and Xue Shaoling were arguing, Shao Yan had no choice but to drink her bowl for Lin Yaoxi, her posture was more powerful than that of a man, and the soldiers were shocked to cheer, and one of them even boasted that he would fight with him, and the one who lost would dance for everyone.

Jiang Jianfei, who loved to join in the fun, couldn't help it, after he drank the wine in his bowl, he glanced at Liu Yuhan who was sitting next to him, and had an idea.

"If you want to fight, I suggest adding this beauty, but Miss Liu is the police flower of the Panhu City Police Station, and she usually has a lot of entertainment, and her drinking power should not be bad. ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers couldn't help but applaud again and again, because everyone wanted to see the dance of the two beauties. So they crowded each other and lined up in a long line, competing with the two of them for drinking power.

The result ended in the victory of Shao Yan and Liu Yuhan, and the soldiers fell one after another.

"I want to see the old lady dance, you are still a hundred years early!" Shao Yan's face flushed, pointing to the soldiers lying on the ground drunk, and kept laughing.

"This wine is like water overflowing from a corpse, disgusting to death, how could you think of using corpse water to make wine? The head was kicked by a donkey, right?" Liu Yuhan picked his fingers, turned around and grabbed Xian Cheng's collar who was about to escape, "Our competition is not over yet, there is still a second round, you are right, Miss Shao!"

"The two girls raised their noble hands and let go of Ben Gongzi, the hangover a few days ago was not sober, and they asked me to drink again, doesn't this kill me?" Xian Cheng clasped his palms together and begged for mercy.

"Xian Gongzi is the son of the client of our adventure group, how dare we kill you, but you have to be in the same camp as me. Shao Yan snatched Xian Cheng from Liu Yuhan's hand, pulled him to his side, and whispered, "You see that poisonous tongue woman's face is not red, her heart is not beating, it is really amazing, you go and take the lead for me, come to twenty bowls first, the old lady will not believe that she will not be killed." ”

Who knew that after drinking less than ten bowls, Xian Cheng tripped over a chair and collided with Xue Shaoling, who was full of drunkenness.

"Sample...... Your alcohol consumption is not as good as that of my brother. Xue Shaoling clutched his stomach and laughed.

"Fifty steps less and a hundred steps of laughter, you're only twenty bowls, okay?" Lin Yaoxi said with a slap on Xue Shaoling's face.

Mu Yunxi, who was accustomed to quietness, was not interested in joining in, but came to the city wall alone with a wine bowl and looked up at the starry sky.

"When you look at your state, you know that you haven't figured out how to solve that problem. Song Zixi, who heard the sound, walked to Mu Yunxi's side and touched the bowl in his hand with his own bowl.

Mu Yunxi snorted coldly and drank all the wine in the bowl: "You're right, I'm in a deep depression, by observing your performance in the past few days, I finally understand that Li Jikui will not be killed by you, so the only clue is broken." ”

"So...... Are you willing to let me go!" Song Zixi opened the wine jug and refilled the wine for the two of them.

Mu Yunxi nodded, and then said angrily: "Brother, I said to let you go, you really left, forgot what the governor told you at the beginning?"

"I consulted with the members, and they were all willing to follow my advice, after all, the Cangyuan Realm is related to the safety of the world. Song Zixi raised the wine bowl in his hand halfway up, and said with a smile, "Besides, I don't plan to give up the governor's commission, but I just postponed the plan to find Miss Zhao a little, anyway, it's good to leave this matter to our adventure group, you can concentrate on solving your case, Mr. Investigator." ”

"Hey! Sometimes I don't understand why you adventure travelers strive to be the first in everything. Mu Yunxi turned around and leaned against the city wall, closed his eyes, and folded his fingers, "The first entrusted success rate and the first logistics team in the whole continent, and I also want to be the hero brigade that guards the world, I am not as great as you, I have always just taken the punishment of rape and evil as the duty to abide by the justice in my heart, and I can't figure out what is worth comparing with." ”

"Actually, I can't figure it out, but the head of this regiment likes to compare with you, so I'm not convinced to try it. Song Zixi grimaced at Mu Yunxi as he spoke, and spilled the wine from the wine bowl on Mu Yunxi's face.

"You...... Damn it...... There's a kind of stop, don't be afraid, don't run. Mu Yunxi scolded angrily, wiped his face and chased out.

That Song Zixi was like smearing oil on the soles of his feet, running fast, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, when Mu Yunxi was tired and dragged back to the camp tiredly, the night was already very late, and thousands of tents shook in the wind, even the lights on the Tianqian spaceship were all extinguished, and the surrounding silence was so quiet that even the sounds of birds and beasts could not be heard.

Maybe the four members of the Langtian Adventure Group have gone back to rest on the Trench, and they don't see Xian Cheng and Jiang Jianfei, maybe they have already gone back to their respective tents to rest.

Thinking about it like this, only the bonfire outside his tent was still lit, and the wine in the wine pot in Mu Yunxi's hand had just been half spilled, only to find that Liu Yuhan was still lying on the long table nearby, drunk and unconscious.

No matter how hard Mu Yunxi shook Liu Yuhan's shoulder, she didn't react at all.

He had no choice but to clean up the leftovers, wine bowls, and flasks on the table...... Throw everything that should be thrown into a garbage bag, and pack up and throw it in the tent with your own bag.

The trouble was that there were too many tents around, and Mu Yunxi couldn't tell which one was where Liu Yuhan slept, so in order to prevent her from catching a cold at night, he had to take off his coat and drape it on Liu Yuhan, then pour out the remaining wine in the wine jug, extinguish the bonfire, and go back to the tent to lie down.

This poisonous tongue girl is right, the wine of the Gara country is indeed not very good.

Thinking of what Liu Yuhan had said, Mu Yunxi smiled and closed his eyes.

When Liu Yuhan woke up the next day, it was past noon, she rubbed her eyes, glanced at the coat on her body in surprise, and sniffed vigorously in her nostrils, looking for the source of the strange aroma in the air.

Then she saw Mu Yunxi sitting outside the tent, barbecuing animal carcasses strung on bamboo sticks. She hurriedly stepped forward to thank her, took off her coat and returned it to Mu Yunxi.

"You're finally awake!I heard that you lost the wine fight with Shao Yan last night?" Mu Yunxi tilted his head and motioned for Liu Yuhan to put his clothes in the tent, picked up a knife in his right hand and made a cut on the meat skewer, and laughed, "Shao Yan mentioned this matter to me this morning, and she said that you are nothing more than that." ”

Liu Yuhan clasped his hands, snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "It's okay to tie it! Don't stop that girl talking nonsense, if it weren't for Xian Chengdai drinking a few glasses, I would have won with my own drink, and when I was confused, I saw her being carried into the spaceship by Xue Shaoling and Lin Yaoxi, and wondered, where did the Trench go?"

She turned around to realize that the Trench was nowhere to be found behind the long table last night was gone, and it was quiet all around, and the two of them were the only ones left in the entire pass.

"This morning, General Gomel led the King's army back to the royal capital, and an hour before you woke up, the Wave Sky Adventure Group also drove off in the ship. ”

"Hey, can't you persuade them to change their minds? The absence of these helpers is also a great loss for us. ”

"We don't have a shortage of helpers, don't you see those two people?" Mu Yunxi said, picking up the meat skewers and pointing to Jiang Zhifei and Xian Cheng who were walking in the distance.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to help you, but I'm afraid you'll rob my case. Jiang Jianfei spread his hands and smiled, "If I can't even solve Heglila's case, where will I put my face when it gets out?"

"What about you?" Mu Yun coated the meat skewers with condiments without raising his head.

Xian Cheng shrugged his shoulders and sighed: "My fiancée has not been found yet, so of course I can't go back with them." ”

"Don't deceive people, you're just afraid to see your father, and you're afraid that your father will force you to marry after finding Zhao Cuiying. Liu Yuhan was so angry that he almost rushed forward to hit him, but in the end he held back.

Anyway, she didn't know that woman well, why was she angry?
