The rain-soaked bangs condensed into wisps of icicles in front of the forehead. Yuan Sui covered his cold face and sneezed a series of times, and praised against his will with his cold red nose: "Okay, okay, it's really brothers working together to break the gold." The two of you work well together, and the effect is significant, but it would be nice if you could pay a little attention to the position of your allies next time. ”

"I agree with Miss Yuan." Tong Siyuan glanced at his younger brother, and coughed twice, "Bi An's last wind blew too strongly, it was like a blade cutting my face." ”

"Can I be blamed for that?" Tong Bi'an rubbed the hoarfrost on his face, looking quite unconvinced, "If it weren't for the fact that it's summer now, and the temperature has a base value, I think the four of us have been frozen into sculptures by your ability, brother." ”

"Sister Gu, wait a minute." Yuan Sui was about to turn out of the manhole cover, but suddenly pressed a small piece of skin exposed on his waist and gasped, "It's over, I feel like my pistol and my old waist are stuck together." ”

"Isn't it like licking an iron railing with your tongue in the middle of winter?" Gu Lan was cowering under her feet, rubbing the goosebumps on her arms with both hands, "It's miserable." Then you must not pull hard, lest you directly peel off a piece of skin. ”

"It's scary." Yuan Sui rolled stiffly against the frozen ground before standing up, humming a folk song that was completely inappropriate for her age.

"Come on, don't let the north wind blow the snowflakes there." Gu Lan wrapped the snatched six-finger military jacket tightly around his body, and in vain pulled the hem of his shirt that was a lot shorter, and said with chattering teeth, "If there are a few more talented people like Tong Boss in the world, it is estimated that we will no longer have to worry about global warming, but pay more attention to the Ice Age." ”

"I'm sorry, but it's the rain...... It's a little too big under the snow. Tong Siyuan reached out to catch a few regular-shaped snowflakes, and watched these crystal clear little things turn into droplets of water in the blink of an eye, "It's okay right away, bear with it again." ”

"Didn't you try to consult with the gifted man who can call the wind and rain before you left, and ask him to keep the weather as light to moderate as possible?" The touch that fell on the top of his head gradually changed from a cold solid to a cold liquid, and Yuan Sui raised his hand to cover his head, "Originally, we are not too familiar with this area, and we can't see the way clearly." ”

"I asked. His exact words were that it would be nice to be able to rain it for you in a short time, and he asked for more. Tong Siyuan pinched his throat and imitated, shook his head and laughed a few times.

"Okay, okay, June snow, this is a civil grievance." Yuan Sui threw out a stalk that was not easy to catch, and it was not too unexpected to catch the confusion that flashed on Tong Bi'an's face.

"I feel wronged." Gu Lan pressed one hand on the shoulder of Tong Bi'an, who was honestly acting as a crutch, "I realized for the first time that growing tall is not entirely a good thing. After saying that, she shook her short and tight trouser leg at Yuan Sui rather resentfully.

Compared with the other three companions who either showed their arms a long section or the hem of their shirts were almost above the navel, Yuan Sui's dress at this time looked the most natural.

"I don't know why, but I feel like I'm finally getting my eyebrows up." Yuan Sui held his head high, "The average height of the six fingers is really too approachable, I am a little moved." Sister Gu, don't gnash your teeth there, there's no way to do it, the one I got you is already the biggest women's uniform. ”

"Don't open any pot and mention which pot." Gu Lan tugged at her collar, obviously a little uncomfortable being strangled, "Hurry up, who will lead the way next?" ”

"I'll come." Tong Siyuan raised his foot and stepped directly over a row of icemen on the ground, "Outside the city is not like inside the city, there are our people everywhere. If we accidentally expose the corpses in the wilderness here today, it is estimated that no one will be able to find them for a while. ”

"When will you learn not to keep talking about discouragement?" Yuan Sui let out his last breath of white air, "Be optimistic, what if our heroic position is particularly conspicuous?" ”

“…… Enough is true for the two of you. Tong Bi'an rolled his eyes inconspicuously, "Fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter." Can't you say something nice? ”

"You don't understand, young man." Yuan Sui stiffened his face and pretended to be very deep, "Before doing things, put the worst results you can think of on the bright side, and no matter what variables suddenly happen after that, you won't be frightened." ”

"How did you say that......" Gu Lan also darkened her face, "You two are like old generals on the stage, with dangerous little flags planted all over your bodies. ”

"No, no, from my previous experience, the people who are with me are more dangerous." Yuan Sui waved his hand magnificently, "Quick, don't just dislike each other here, lead the way"

Heading west along the underground network that supplies the water, the four of them managed to bypass the adversary's large army and emerge from a pumping station outside the city at midday. There weren't many six-fingered soldiers left here waiting to pick up their companions, and so far, everything has gone well.

Among the four people in the group, only Yuan Sui's demeanor has been constantly switching between extremely relaxed and overly vigilant. Tong Siyuan tilted his head and looked at her several times, but he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"It's so flat around here, and it's a little insecure for people like me who are used to flying in the sky with a rope." Too lazy to make a fuss, Yuan Sui replied truthfully, "You say, why didn't Six Fingers attack from here?" Obviously, this direction is more convenient for heavy weapons to pass. ”

"Maybe it's not a good way, their nest isn't in this direction." Tong Bi'an answered on the side.

"Although it may be a bit late to think about this now...... I'm wondering, is that Major General really reliable? Yuan Sui touched his chin, "Until the end, he didn't tell me exactly how he wanted us to help him...... What if he can't hold his burp before we arrive? Or take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he can really succeed in usurping the throne, we may not be able to retreat with our whole body. ”

"Now with the benefit of hindsight? I don't think you were quite positive before, right? Tong Bi'an continued to pour cold water.

"I promised him, firstly, because of the necessity of the situation, and secondly, ......" Yuan Sui turned his head to look at him, "Don't you think that if things can really develop in the direction he envisioned, it will be the most beneficial for our future?" Even if there's only a little hope, I think it's worth trying. ”

"I agree with Miss Yuan." Tong Siyuan expressed his support in a timely manner, "From a long-term perspective, if the gifted person wins this battle with an absolute advantage, ordinary humans may not be really happy, and the power of the six fingers may not be completely uprooted. And if we lose completely, then all of humanity will face an even more dangerous future...... Of course, the threat posed by the prolonged stalemate between the two sides is the greatest, and the blind consumption of resources will only push all species to extinction. ”

"Cultural people are just different, and what they say is quite philosophical." Yuan Sui laughed, and then seemed to suddenly get some new inspiration, "Speaking of which, you and that Major General have some similarities in their status in the team to some extent. Can you put yourself in his shoes and try to guess what he thinks? ”

"The similarities? Does it mean that both of us seem to have a certain status, but when it comes to actual operation, we have to be constrained by many people? Tong Siyuan narrowed his eyes and thought seriously for a few minutes before he replied, "What you said makes some sense. In a sense, the Six Fingers Army, like our temporary alliance, is divided into many factions, and no one can really have the power to mobilize everyone......"

"I'm going to be more specific. What would you do if one day, a few of the people who came to the meeting with you from all over the world always said behind your back that your identity and background are very problematic, and maybe one day they will collude with outsiders to rebel and want to seize the opportunity to stand up as soon as possible, or even secretly kill you? Remembering that the other party had always been more cautious, Yuan Sui blinked his eyes and added in a low voice, "It's okay, everyone here is considered their own people, don't worry." ”

Tong Siyuan glanced at her with a little smile, didn't correct anything, and said: "This is not comparable, after all, those thorns on our side have always only had the heart of a thief and not the courage of a thief." But do you want to put me in his place...... is in a hurry, and it is indeed possible to strike first. As for the means......"

He was only halfway through his sentence when the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. Tong Bi'an and Gu Lan were still looking at each other for this sudden silence, but Yuan Sui was shocked, and then stopped, almost colliding with Gu Lan who didn't have time to brake in the middle of the road.

"What's wrong with you two? Don't scare yourself. Gu Lan's eyes swirled back and forth on Yuan Sui and Tong Siyuan, "What earth-shattering secrets have you figured out?" Shall I hear it? ”

"Sister Gu, have you ever heard of a double agent, or a routine of routines?" and Tong Siyuan exchanged a look that was exclusive to people who understood, and Yuan Sui started a new day's enlightening teaching.

"I understand the previous one. What is the latter thing? ”

"Think about it, what is the best way for a person to get to the top of the top position as quickly as possible and at the same time be convinced by the majority of people below?" Yuan Sui asked rhetorically.

“…… If he is really the crown prince, then the fastest way is, of course, the emperor dies. Gu Lan spun slightly faster than Tong Bi'an's mind most of the time, "If you want to speed up the process of the old emperor's death...... Uh, poisoning? ”

"I can't see it, Sister Gu, you not only have a rich imagination, but also have a very vicious method." Yuan Sui teased, "Besides, I call Ming Shi the crown prince, which is just a convenient way to understand, his status on the six fingers seems to be equivalent to a prince at most...... Sons, it's not his turn to be poisoned. ”

There is no longer a playful mind, Tong Siyuan explained as bluntly as possible: "The fastest way to buy people's hearts is to turn the tide in a desperate situation." First of all, then, he needs to create a desperate situation, or rather, a team that can naturally take the lives of those who stand in his way, pave the way for him properly and securely, and can be easily controlled and suppressed by him at any time. ”

Seeing that Gu Lan was still at a loss, Yuan Sui stepped forward, pinched her hand and shook it: "To put it simply, the four of us are the unlucky ones he chose." It is necessary to pretend to be very fierce to eradicate his opponent for him, and to be able to admit it in time at a critical moment to highlight his leadership talent...... Do you get the idea? ”

"Of course I understand. He's just using us, haven't you figured it out a long time ago? Gu Lan barely followed.

Yuan Sui showed an unteachable expression on his face, and his mouth snorted twice: "Then think about it again, how did Mr. Tong sell me in order to get out of the meeting before?" If he wants to borrow a knife to kill people, and then stand up and make a big show in a critical moment, what is the first step? ”

"Create a murderous environment." Tong Siyuan lowered his head and answered for Gu Lan, "For example, why did we come out of this direction now?" Because the man named Ming Shi told us in advance about the conventional arrangement of the army. In other words, we have been able to get this far because he has led us so far. ”

"Now that we're all here, it's time for another group of supporting characters to be brought in, right?" Yuan Sui moved his knuckles, then turned his head around and looked, "Let's say okay first, this environment is really unfavorable to me, you three come on." In short, let them have a long look at what kind of monsters the gifted ones everyone shouts at are. ”

"Let's get back to the pumping station, where there are a little more elements that could be used as cover." Tong Siyuan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his younger brother, who was not in a position to be in his position, "Ready, the four of us are likely to fight a head-on offensive and defensive battle with a group of six-fingered troops who have been ambushed nearby early." ”

"The three of you, more precisely." Yuan Sui carefully sorted out the military uniform on his body, "Since the other party has worked so hard to set up a suitable stage for us to play, we naturally can't let him take it too lightly." Stay behind and hold off the main force of the six fingers as long as you can. If Ming Shi still had a little conscience, he should have left a gap for me to find an opportunity to assassinate. ”

"Didn't you say that it would drag us down and bring one with us?" Tong Siyuan looked at her and smiled, "How can you leave these two living treasures to me?" If it doesn't take long, the ability of my brother and I is enough to harass, so you can bring Miss Gu with you. ”

"Don't, your brother's ability to interfere with ballistics is limited, so let Miss Gu use buoyancy to catch the bullet." Yuan Sui suddenly took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, "No wonder Your Excellency Major General wanted to stuff this thing for me alone before." Don't worry, I'm alone, and my body shape is close to them, so it's not too difficult to blend in. ”

She dug into the cloth bag, first pulled out a pair of light gray contact lenses and pressed them into her eyes, then pinched a highly realistic mechanical finger and shook it, and then stuffed it into an empty military glove.

"Pretty similar, huh? I happen to have almost learned their language. Yuan Sui saluted the other three people with a standard six-finger military salute, "Remember to mess up the situation a little later, the more chaotic the better." ”
