Chapter 36: The Enemy's Track
"Hurry, hurry, you short-legged guys. Ji Yijun urged the goblins and walked behind them.
Most of the more than a dozen goblins were old, weak, sick and disabled, and they walked very slowly, and Ji Yijun couldn't wait to leave them behind and only take the shaman away. But the shaman was unwilling to leave his people behind.
"If we had rushed to the village, they would have already left. There are you guys who look good. Ji Yijun could only use empty threats to urge them.
"Maybe they left yesterday. We can't blame it on our heads. The shaman argued.
"Shut your crow's mouth!" Unlike Ye Zi, he still hated these short and slender guys from the bottom of his heart.
"Alright, save some effort. They are so small, and it is not easy for them to go fast. Ye Zi persuaded, she was still holding her big gun and walked quickly beside Ji Yijun.
"Just your kindness, Holy Mother!" muttered Ji Yijun.
The morning light had slowly illuminated the forest, and he looked at his watch and said to Ye Zi, "Come out for two hours." I don't know if they found out. ”
Ye Zixiu's brows frowned, "The battalion commander is almost going to inspect the sentry, right? As soon as he confronted the sentry, he must have found out that you were falsely passing on orders." It doesn't matter if he sends men after us now or not. When we go back, he will definitely want us to look good. ”
Ji Yijun's face was not good-looking, "Anyway, even if I quit the escort team, I will avenge my father." He Wang Jiyuan cowered, missed the opportunity, I can't be like him. He shook his head and shouted, "Who said you can do it step by step?" I think it's nice to feel free now!"
Ye Zi sighed and didn't say anything more.
After a while, the sun was already emerging from the woods. The golden sunlight shines on the face, giving people a rare warmth in late autumn. Ji Yijun's mood suddenly improved, and he hummed a song as he walked: "...... Let's go, wow, you have me, you have everything...... When Lu saw the injustice, he roared, and when it was time to make a move, he shot wow, and he broke through Jiuzhou wow......" sang and sang, his voice became louder and louder, and then he shook his head.
When Ye Zi saw him like this, somehow, his heart brightened, and even the pace under his feet kept up with the rhythm of the song.
However, Ji Yijun's good mood did not last long, because the goblin walking in front stopped and was unwilling to move forward.
"What's going on, what's going on?"
"We need to rest and eat. We haven't eaten anything since you caught us. They can't walk, and I can't walk either!" said the shaman.
"Don't go too far! you're running for your life, and if you're caught up by someone coming from behind, you see how many heads you have enough to cut off. Ji Yijun frightened.
"We'll have to walk another half a day to get there. It is impossible to rest without stopping. The shaman simply sat down cross-legged.
Although Ji Yijun was annoyed, he had to admit that the goblin shaman was right. He took a compressed biscuit out of his pocket and threw it in front of the goblin shaman: "Then eat it quickly!
After a break of more than an hour, the goblins were so tired that many goblins fell asleep after eating two bites of biscuits.
Ji Yijun was about to kick them up one by one, but he heard a strange sound in the forest on the left. He gave Ye Zi a color, and the two of them were ambushed on both sides of the forest. After a while, sure enough, three people came out of the forest, but the people who came were what Ji Yijun didn't expect.
"Ji Yijun, Ye Zi, come out! I'm not here to arrest you back. The person said.
Ji Yijun walked out from behind a tree and said strangely, "Zhang Hong, how could it be you?
Zhang Hong wears an inconspicuous dark gray jacket on his upper body and a pair of quick-drying pants on his lower body. He smiled, pointed to the half-elf archer Cole and the warrior Gamero beside him and said: "Cole's elven bloodline makes him like a fish in water in the forest, and it is easy to find your traces, Gameiro has great strength, and he opens the way through the mountains with an axe, and then I released another wind crawler, so we are more than half an hour faster than the team sent by Camp Commander Wang." ”
"When did they find out that we were gone?" Ye Zi asked.
"More than an hour ago. They were tracked in two ways. We're running out of time. ”
"We?" said Ji Yijun.
"Didn't you leave a note saying that you had received news from the goblin that you were going to avenge your father? Zhang Hongdao.
"What revenge do you have?"
"I've been caught by horse thieves! I've told you that I want revenge no less than you! And I know Orville and Awan very well, they are two masters under Cadiz, and if they also gathered a group of horse thieves, the two of you used to deliver food! And we are different, Cole is a magic archer, and Gameiro is a bloodline warrior. And I'm already a magician...... Apprenticed. Zhang Hong stretched out his hand, and a small flame formed in his hand, although the fire was not big and unstable, but his face was still full of color.
Although Ji Yijun has always hated Zhang Hong, he couldn't find any reason to oppose it at this time, so he could only agree to these people joining his team.
————————————————————
Li Jia rode on a horse and looked at the small castle in front of her. The castle is not large, smaller than the castle of the Viscount Ruiz. Not to mention the castle like Neuschwanstein Castle on the planet in memory.
Selinda on the side seemed to guess his thoughts, and said, "This is just a hunting manor in the family domain, and our family's main castle is much grander than this. The people of the royal capital are too lazy to come here, and the old man can not see and not be upset. Just huddle here to recuperate. ”
Li Jia could see that every time she mentioned Count Arias, Selinda always had a sense of disdain, not only disdain, but even an element of hatred in her speech. He couldn't help but be a little worried, and asked softly, "Selinda, you seem to have a little strain with your father. ”
"So what?"
"Uh...... I wonder if he'll have an opinion of me?"
"I've always been in charge of my own affairs, and I don't need to listen to him. Selinda said confidently.
"This ...... Even if your marriage is a big deal, he doesn't care?"
Selinda laughed out loud, her innocent face had a little more playfulness, she patted Li Jia's face in an old-fashioned manner and said, "Dear Li Jia, aren't you here to negotiate business with him on behalf of the magicians?
"Ahem, you know my mind. Li Jia's face was a little red.
Selinda looked at him with a smile for a while and said, "Look at it, this is your lovely place, those playboys from aristocratic families have long lost the function of turning red, and naturally they don't feel guilty about doing bad things." ”
"You, you, I'm serious!" Li Jia couldn't cry or laugh. He is really serious, and he gets along with her day and night these days, and every face in her changeable image makes him unable to extricate himself.
Selena sighed and said, "You know what? Although the western region is not as rich as the eastern region, it is also rich in products. She gestured behind her, the guards who were ten meters away from them, "And there are many such loyal warriors in the family." Merlot Arias, the ancestor of our family, known as the strongest berserker, was a partner in laying the foundation of the kingdom with the first king. But even so, we are still outwhelmed throughout the kingdom. ”
"Is the king guarding against you?" asked Li Jia.
"Hmph, the kings of the past have naturally tried their best to reduce our strength. And my ancestors were really not angry. When Master Merlo Arias died, his son was not yet an adult, and he had not received his father's inheritance. When the old king was there, he was made the Grand Duke, but as soon as the old king died, our family became a thorn in the side of the kings. Not only was the title reduced to an earl because of a 'wrong' ancestor, and the territory was reduced by half, but he never got an important official position in the royal capital. In my father's generation, he was a bastard who drank all the time, and even when my mother died, he was out and about. ”
"Ah, I'm sorry. Li Jia listened very uncomfortably.
"What's there to be sorry for, it has nothing to do with you!" Selinda retorted, "Never apologize for someone else's asshole." I will not forgive that kind of person! The revitalization of our family can only depend on me!"
"So, Li Jia!" she looked at the solemn man in front of her, "no matter how much I like you." Eventually, the person I want to marry must be someone who can help me revitalize my family. This is my mission as this generation of Arias. You must prove it to me, and to my people and men. ”
Li Jia's face was a little pale, I don't know if he was shocked or frightened, his liking for her was very simple and strong, but he never carefully considered anything other than love. Perhaps, but at least he still has some superiority over a local girl, or a little bit of charity. When she became Sir Arias, he had more admiration. However, after listening to Selinda's words today, he suddenly felt a little panicked again, and he was afraid that he was not qualified to fight for this love.
Selinda stared at him, taking in his every expression.
"You've taken a good step, though. Selinda gently ran the back of her hand across his cheek, "You, you must be a powerful magician, you must be a bridge between us and your castle. Only then will it be possible for us to come together. ”
Li Jia smiled hehehe, with a little surprise.
She laughed too: "Look scares you." I just want you to be more focused and work a little harder. If you can finally rule this land with me, I will have no regrets in my heart for the rest of my life. ”
Li Jia looked at her beautiful face, the images of a peasant girl, a brave knight, a gentle lover and a noble lord fused together at this moment, making his heart hot.
He took her hands and promised word by word, "Even if I die, I will do it!"
