Chapter 41: Risking Death to Pledge Allegiance
He deliberately hooked my curiosity, unscrewed the water bottle and took a sip, and then slowly and leisurely put the lid back back, before looking at the bottle in his hand and sighing: "I think you have mind reading skills." ”
Groove ...... Where is this? He can answer the wrong questions by asking and answering himself, and he is really a talent.
Seeing that I was staring at him without speaking, he continued, "You always seem to know what I'm thinking. There are some things that I want to tell you about that you will ask. What I don't want to say, you just don't look interested in it, and you don't mention it. ”
As soon as his voice fell, I raised the corners of my mouth and gave him a smile, but I knew in my heart that he had something to say, which meant that he didn't want to say anything about this matter just now, and it was better for me not to mention it. This guy has a few roundworms in his heart, and I still know about it.
"You want to rest? Or go out first? "I looked at the food in my backpack, these things can last for three or four days at most, and I don't know what the situation is when I get to the city, if I run out of food, it will be very troublesome.
Kong Xian didn't stop any longer, took out the map and pointed me in the direction, and said, "Let's go up along the underground river, we should be able to get out, and that side is closest to the entrance of the Trick City." With that, he rolled up the map and got up.
I hadn't noticed it before, and when I got up, I suddenly felt that something was following us, but I turned around twice and didn't see anything.
"Hey, I said Master Jin."
"How?"
"Don't you think there's something following us?" I asked, looking back a few more times.
Kong Xian didn't look back, just sneered and said into the air, "Is your hidden technique already so bad?" Any person can feel it. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, I saw two black figures suddenly brushing down behind us, kneeling down on one knee when he landed, and whispering "Jin Ye"!
Kong Xian glanced back and waved at them, "What's the point of you tracking me with this bit of technology." ”
"Master Jin, we weren't ordered to follow you." One of them got up and handed Kong Xian something as he spoke.
It looked like a bullet casing, very small, ginger in color.
Kong Xian pinched it in his hand and looked at it, and pulled out a note from the middle, "Since this thing is not allowed to be known by the organization, you are in charge of your own affairs, do you know what the fate is?" ”
The two men nodded at the same time, indicating that they understood.
I look a little funny, like a spy movie. He clasped his hands on his chest and leaned on the stone next to him, ready to be a qualified melon eater.
"Do you know that you have returned it to me, have you already chosen the back road?" Kong Xian's tone didn't have the slightest warmth, but I could faintly feel a flash of worry in his eyes.
"Master Jin, we have no way back to think of, and we don't want to involve Hu and Linglong. It's okay for you to pretend not to know everything today, if something really happens, the two of us will ask for blame. With that, the two of them turned back.
Kong Xian bit his lip, frowned, and was silent. The obvious nervousness made me feel as depressed as he was. "What happens if the two of them are found out?" I asked.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and replied, "Violating the order and revealing confidential documents, once the matter is investigated, they will not be allowed to live for twenty-four hours." ”
After listening to him, I immediately gritted my teeth, and almost grabbed Kong Xian's collar and asked him, what kind of bullshit organization is this? Is there any royal law?
"What about Hu and Linglong?" I asked again.
Kong Xian patted me on the shoulder and asked me to follow forward, while saying, "Hu and Linglong must know about this matter, and if they are investigated above, they will also be implicated." However, since he is not the first person responsible, the punishment will be much lighter. Linglong They are cautious, the old man must have been knocked out by them, and you are the only outsider who knows about this at present. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at me with a serious look in his eyes.
I understood what he meant, he was afraid that I didn't understand anything, and when the time came, I would accidentally leak things out.
Yes, I admit that I am not very careful, but I will naturally be cautious about such life-threatening matters, how can I joke with the lives of those people. I nodded in understanding.
He dragged me for another twenty minutes before slowing down, looking around vigilantly, and then taking out the bullet casing in his hand and looking at the contents of the small note inside.
There were not a few words in total, but Kong Xian looked at it for a minute, and his brows became tighter and tighter. I raised my eyelids and glanced at the note, only to see a few black spots, Kong Xian pinched it in his hand, and then took out a lighter and lit it.
I smacked twice, "What's the matter, what's wrong with showing me?" It's so tense, our friendship is not as good as a piece of paper, right? ”
I thought that Kong Xian would prevaricate with me, but I didn't expect him to say a word, he was silent and only accelerated his speed and walked forward, and his fist-clasped hand was eager to pinch into the flesh.
I didn't have as long legs as he did, and I could barely keep up with him at a trot. It wasn't until the light began to appear in front of us, and the barely walking path came to an end, that he slowly stopped.
Further on, it is very difficult, and it is impossible to swim out of the turbulent underground river. Not to mention swimming, if you jump down, you can't lift your head, and you will choke to death with a mouthful of water. The underground river, on the other hand, is flanked by steep rock walls, and is almost covered with emerald green and dark red moss due to the perennial water flow.
"Brother." I pinched Kong Xian's shoulders and sighed: "The path you chose is really good, I knew how easy it was for us to go downstream, in this case, I directly turned into a little white dragon in the waves, and went out in seconds." ”
"Are you stupid?" Kong Xian glanced at me speechlessly, reached out and slapped me on the back of the head, "With such a turbulent water, there is a chance that there will be a waterfall downstream." Are you going to bungee jump? ”
"So what now?" I spread my hands and threw the problem to Kong Xian, anyway, I have no way, if I want to say it, I have to turn my head and find the way again, I am not Spider-Man, I don't have the skills to fly the eaves and walk the wall.
Kong Xian found a clean place to sit down and rubbed his temples. I also simply lay down to the side to recover my strength, so that I could cope with the physical work that I had relieved.
After only lying down for five minutes, Kong Xian patted my face and said, "Get up, let's climb up and climb out with the stalactites on it." ”
"Holding stalactites?" My jaw almost hit the ground in surprise.
He didn't say much, just nodded, and then began to climb up. I sighed, I thought it was very difficult, but he was not afraid, if I said that I was afraid, wouldn't I be ashamed to be thrown home. I haven't conceded defeat since I was a child, and I can't be cowardly now.
Said to climb and climb, he took the lead, and I followed. It's not easy to climb up here, but with the knife in your hand, the difficulty is much smaller, but when you really get to the top, stalactites don't mean that you can hug them.
Kong Xian had already hugged the first stalactite, and he didn't move, but waited for me to go up. This stalactite is thick on the top and thin on the bottom, coupled with the humid environment, which causes the moss to develop vigorously, and it is not easy to hold it.
When I could hold his hand, he said, "I'll throw you in front, and you'll hold it, and then pull me over." ”
I was speechless when I heard it, it was too difficult, and my psychological pressure increased exponentially.
But this time, I found that this stalactite looks not easy to focus, in fact, it is not so smooth, and it is still very good to hold up, probably due to the texture of the rock.
According to what Kong Xian said, he threw me to the stalactites in front and hugged me. After I grasped it steadily, it didn't feel too difficult, so I let him go, and then pulled him to my side. Because of the disparity in strength, I couldn't throw him forward, so after he grasped it, he still threw me forward, to the stalactites in front, and I took him over.
Looking at the difficult journey, it is not too difficult, the stalactites here are dense, coupled with the rough rock structure, it is easy to borrow. It was almost half an hour, and before we were exhausted, we were outside.
The outside environment is very nice to settle on, just a flat, sloping grass. As soon as we went out and settled, we immediately lay down on the ground and gasped for breath for almost an hour.
It was noon, and the sun outside was very abundant, shining on the body, directly expelling all the cold on the body. It's like being in a warm bed, not to mention how comfortable.
"Kong Xian." I raised my hand, stretched out a thumbs-up, and sighed, "I just want to say the same thing as Liu Yang." In this life, I really haven't served anyone, only you. ”
"What do you want me to do?" Kong Xian looked at me sideways with a smile.
"I'm so good with your brain, really, I've tried to catch up with it for so many years, but I finally failed."
"Haha." Kong Xian Wangtian laughed twice and reached out to rub my hair, "You are not defeated. He said: "When you bully me, it's when your IQ is on the line, and I really can't resist it." ”
"Come less." I laughed and pulled his hand off my head, "You keep saying that I bullied you, where can I bully you?" It's not like you've been eaten to death by your Kong Immortal. ”
"Really?" As he spoke, he smiled obscenely, rolled over and lay on top of me, and said, "Then let me kiss me." ”
I knew that he was deliberately scaring me and wanted me to be intimidated by his initiative, so naturally I would not let him succeed. He clasped his hands to his chest and said calmly: "It's not impossible to kiss, unless you tell me what is written on the note." ”
"The beauty of thought!" As he spoke, he rolled over and lay back on the ground, "However, I want to warn you that you must be on guard against all of Linglong and Hu, especially when I am not there. I told you, there are no people here, each of them has a personal will, and there are people who give orders, you can't let your guard down because they know me well, if I'm not there, they're likely to attack you. ”
I felt that he was a little worried, so I waved my hand and said, "You are really worried, when I went to look for you before, I met with them, weren't you there at that time?" They didn't let me go yet. ”
However, after I finished speaking, Kong Xian did not stretch his eyebrows, but said: "It was different before and now, they haven't received this order from me before, so you have no value for them, and they naturally don't need to kill you." ”
