Chapter 480: Sleepless Nights
Warm blood sprayed on Ma Mengqi's face, he had killed many people, for him walking among the grassland beasts, the enemy hiding in the armor was not terrible, the mysterious stranger was the reason for his uneasiness.
So he immediately drew his knife after the slash, and immediately swept back to the fire that had not yet dissipated on the side, picked up Qin Jun's rifle and immediately pulled the trigger on the young man.
However, the expected gunfire did not come out, but a burst of electricity came from the rifle, and the numb feeling was instantly transmitted to the brain, and Ma Mengqi's palm suddenly felt as if it had been stung by a wasp, and he immediately threw the rifle away.
Looking at the wound in the palm of his hand, Ma Mengqi thought, are all the weapons of the Qin army with electronic identification?
This time his vigilance seemed a little redundant, the young man in the nano suit had no movement except for the blood sprayed out of the wound, just lying calmly on the ground, his face full of dirty blood was unusually calm, the black eyes looked at the young man in the firelight quietly, the corners of his mouth squirmed a few times as if to say something, and then smiled slightly and spread his hands, and died.
Ma Mengqi stared at the young man's body, silent for a long time, until his eyes were sore, he took a few steps back and breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly began to feel tired and sour and began to invade his body.
The maid got up quickly on the snow, walked quickly to the convoy that was about to turn into ruins, frantically lifted the fragments of the old man's tent, and then took the little boy with a sharp silhouette and no idea what was happening, and gently wiped the dust from his face with a happy face.
There were still about five or six royal court guards still alive, dragging their wounded bodies to their feet, and struggling to reach the ruins of the tents, their knees touching the ground and speaking in a language that outsiders could not understand.
The wind in the night and the remnants of the sparks were intertwined, and several bloodied warriors knelt at the feet of a maid holding a child, which was neither tragic nor moving in the eyes of Qin Jun, no, even Ma Mengqi.
Hua Rong walked to Ma Mengqi's side, and the two of them quietly watched this scene, they had already guessed the true identity of the maid, and they didn't bother to pretend to be surprised, shocked and frightened, and then knelt down.
After a short rest, everyone looked happy, and they were all looking for medical kits for treatment.
At the end of a tragic battle, everyone looked at Ma Mengqi's gaze, and there were some subtle changes in their attitude towards him.
With the approval of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the procession marched a safe distance forward, and then hoped that the receiving force at the northern foot of the Rolling Bell Pass would arrive in time for dawn.
The rearranged camp was set up with a fire, and the frail old man looked at the young man beside the fire, with a smile on his face, sat on the ground and rubbed his right hand on the back of his left hand, and then shook his head at last rather strangely.
The guards gathered around the fire to erect a barrier with the wreckage of the car, leaving the best place for the princess, the old man and the child.
Bandaging, medicine and eating, Ma Mengqi took out a bottle of Erguotou and handed it to Hua Rong, looked at Her Royal Highness the princess standing beside him, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "If you want to accuse us of not abiding by the rules and secretly storing wine, etc., don't open your mouth, if you have something to say, sit down!" β
Although she was not a maid, but the richest princess of the Tupai Kingdom in the True God Alliance, Ma Mengqi felt as if he didn't owe her anything, and as for other requests, he didn't care a little now.
Salama quietly looked at the young man's side face, and the somewhat young face looked very good-looking, no worse than that of the Qin Army major.
However, it was this handsome and beautiful young man's performance in battle that reminded her more than once of the Tupai sand cat, which had a relaxed appearance but specialized in poisonous snakes for food.
I don't know why, she was in a frightened state just after experiencing an assassination that almost died, and she only felt that Ma Mengqi, who was not far from her, was sitting there, and she felt a lot more relaxed.
But the problem is that she doesn't like this teenager's style of acting very much, from drinking and bullying in Ningdong Town to what she saw and heard along the way, she didn't like this typical Chinese man's style very much.
What makes her feel even more unhappy is that now Ma Mengqi is not even willing to show respect on the surface, and there is even a hint of ridicule in the businessββββ
It has to be said that a woman's intuition is always a very accurate sixth sense, whether it is a survivor of low status or a noble princess of the empire.
Her Royal Highness the most valuable princess in the True God Alliance, no matter where she is, as long as she believes that a low-level slave dares to laugh at her, she can let the guards kill her, but now Her Royal Highness feels that she seems to hate sitting with him psychologically, but her body enjoys this atmosphere.
Because of the strange feeling, her tone of voice became much softer.
"When you were attacked just now, did you want to go over and save me, the princess?"
Am I a princess?
Anyway, when the real princess was not in the car, now mentioning this seemingly mistake, there is always a hint of mockery of the people at the bottom who want to cling to the powerful.
"Actually... When I was in Ningdong Town, everyone knew that you were a princess, and my father went to the kitchen to cut onions. β
Ma Mengqi said very seriously, in the eyes of outsiders, he may not know the truth, but as soon as he came into contact, he understood that it was just the simplest trick.
Salama frowned slightly, she didn't ask how others saw her identity, the topic changed, and she said quite seriously: "Follow me after going to Xingqing, I will give you a good job you want." β
Ma Mengqi was slightly stunned and said, "Your Royal Highness the Supreme Princess, after arriving in Xingqing City, I will participate in the selection of the 'Assasin' Demon Slaying Regiment. β
Human beings invented language in order to accurately express their thoughts, and later used language to cover up their thoughts to avoid embarrassment. On the surface, this sentence means that my little soldier has no time to work for the princess, and it is understandable that he refuses.
"Are you sure you'll be able to take the selection exam? And can you pass the exam smoothly? Salama looked coldly at this boy who was about the same age as her, and said: "Although the teaching selects talents by ability, but after all, there are inevitably some flaws, if you think that you can kill people and find a stage to play, your father Ma Mengxiang is also a talented talent, why did he fall into a small army leader who is not more than three hundred?" β
Ma Mengqi looked at her very three-dimensional facial features and said seriously: "So, I am here desperately begging Her Royal Highness the princess to help me blow a good wind, lest I lose the opportunity to enter the demon slaying group because I am poor." β
Salama stared at him with hesitant and caring eyes, and was silent for a long time, wondering why this poor boy could be so calm and directly reject the power at his fingertips.
You must know that behind her is a true god alliance, which is the most important economic source and international funding of the Star Moon Alliance, even if she marries the Star Moon Alliance thousands of miles away, it is an existence that cannot be looked up to.
If you are someone else, even if it is those royal court guards, even if you have the opportunity to enter "Assasin", but you are appreciated by her, who is not grateful to kneel down.
After the silence, she said indifferently: "I promise you as a reward for your guard." β
After finishing speaking, she completely lost the desire to talk to Ma Mengqi, and held the little boy to look at the dancing flames, her face changed unpredictably.
Ma Mengqi glanced at the corpses, which were completely cold, sighed slightly, and hugged his daughter-in-law's neck to warm her.
I don't know how long it took, but the fire was about to burn out, and in the mountains to the north, the sound of horses' hooves and the roar of cars could be faintly heard.
The old man and Ma Mengqi opened their eyes in unison, and after glancing at each other, they immediately woke up the people around them, such a sound must be the appearance of a large army.
The two of them lay on the cordon, looking at the front of them, their pupils shrank slightly, and there was no need to hide their traces, because no matter who they were, there were only two results, either they were saved or killed.
The snow at the bell mouth was swept into the sky by the strong wind, and more than 100 cavalrymen rushed out of the pass that was just about to dawn, and swept in frantically.
One of the elites of the Star Moon Alliance, the Royal Guard Cavalry Unit!
At the head of the man, a man in a green hat shouted at the fire, "God is above!" Hamdan prays here devoutly, where is the princess! β
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
