An Ruomu opened his backpack and took out some dry food, half of one person: "This is the territory of the King of Nan, and I am here to help people run errands." ”

The middle-aged man took it and devoured it: "From Boyu Island? ”

An Ruomu nodded: "I just arrived on the island not long ago, and I took over the business, but it turned out that Fengque Bay was full of wind birds, not to mention relying on the boat, Ling Hu didn't know how many were blown away, fortunately, a senior brother pointed me out this way, otherwise, I am afraid that I will have to beg for food in the future." ”

Since he was a child, he likes to listen to stories behind mercenaries, and when he grows up, he often mingles in brothels, gambling houses, and wine shops, and he has the ruffian spirit of street gangsters.

The middle-aged man laughed: "No wonder, I think how can anyone come to this place where the bird doesn't, it turns out to be a peer." ”

An Ruomu saw that the dry food in his hand had been eaten, so he handed over his share.

The middle-aged man unceremoniously picked up again: "If you want to say that these wind sparrows are really strange, so many together, they don't break up for a few days, and it's the first time I've seen them after living for so long." ”

"I've heard that there were a few times a hundred or two hundred years ago, and ten days and half a month were gone." An Ruomu shrugged, looking like he didn't know the height of the sky.

The middle-aged man was silent, holding the dry food and looking over and over.

An Ruomu noticed the abnormality, and his eyes also turned to dry food, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

This is the food of Qingzhengtang, which is different from the food sold by merchants on Bo Yu Island and made by other people, because he is used to eating it usually, and because he is in a hurry, he did not take this detail into account, but just took out a large bag indiscriminately.

"You have a good relationship with Qingzhengtang, right?" Sure enough, the middle-aged man noticed.

"yes." An Ruomu thought, instead of denying it, it was better to admit it generously.

"I just dealt with them two days ago, and I was almost hacked to death by that grumpy young hall master." The middle-aged man took a bite of dry food and didn't delve further.

"Young hall master? Can't climb high. He's too powerful to mess with. I only know people who work in the kitchen. An Ruomu smiled bitterly, "How could you have a holiday with the young hall master?" ”

"It's just a business, not a holiday." The middle-aged man replied briefly.

At this point, if An Ruomu continues to dig into the roots, he will be guilty of a big taboo.

He didn't say anything more, but his mind had been spinning fast from just now to now—the person in front of him was a mercenary, saying that he had seen Excellence two days ago and had fought each other, and if that was the case, then the contact between the two should be in the process of finding "that thing".

"Big brother, ...... you" He looked at the middle-aged man, and suddenly brightened, "You're a white fat man, right?" ”

The middle-aged man was stunned, looked down at himself, and laughed: "Yes, it's me." ”

"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time." An Ruomu hurriedly bowed his hand, "The news of you and Blackbeard has spread all over the world. ”

"Hey, don't mention it, it's a big loss this time." The white fat man sighed heavily, "Little brother, listen to my brother, if you encounter a puppeteer in the future, don't provoke it." ”

"Did you run into a puppeteer?" An Ruomu was really taken aback.

Speaking of this, the white fat man had a stomach full of bitter water: "It's touched, it's very difficult, not to mention the puppets and ants, just say that the bees he raises, sting a fire, lighting everything, and can't put it out, and it can roast you in the blink of an eye." ”

"I heard, you also met Princess North?" An Ruomu recalled the news that Xiaoxi inquired about.

The white fat man said "um": "That woman is the most shrewd, and the people who saw us and the Qingzheng Hall were injured, so she took advantage of the chaos to chase the puppeteer." ”

"Why are you chasing him?" An Ruomu seemed to understand something.

The white fat man choked, answered something vaguely, lowered his head and tore off the dry food piece by piece, and ate it slowly.

An Ruomu saw that he couldn't ask much more, and after a moment of silence, he gave the white fat man a little dry food: "Big brother, you can take it on the road to eat." When you return to Boyu Island, my little brother invites you to drink. ”

"That's a good idea. Thank you. The white fat man took it and patted An Ruomu's shoulder.

An Ruomu had something in his heart, and he didn't want to delay any longer, so he took the lantern and continued to move forward.

This walk was a long time, the more he walked, the more anxious he became, the more he walked, the more he walked, the more he trance, until he finally got out of the gap, and when he looked back, he was at a loss, I didn't know that the white fat man he met before, and everything he had heard, was really illusory.

He found a place to take a nap, but as soon as he closed his eyes, the faces of Excellence and Rongquan appeared clearly. Are they hurt? Is the injury serious? Where are the people now? And where is "that thing"? Is it in the hands of the puppeteer?

Thinking of this, at first, An Ruomu couldn't calm down, but after all, he was still too tired, and after a while, he became groggy.

In the confusion, someone was talking, very close, and deliberately lowered his voice.

"Do you see clearly?"

"I can see clearly, it's him, I can't be wrong."

"This is the person Her Royal Highness wants, don't mess it up for me."

"Really, my lord, you can look carefully, it's him, don't dare to make a mistake."

An Ruomu suddenly came to his senses, and his first reaction was to find the nearest place to hide.

Almost at the same time, the sound of stray footsteps rang out, scattering in all directions.

After that, no one spoke, except for the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of leather boots trampling dead branches, the sound of weapons clashing, and the sound of churning grass.

An Ruomu shrunk by a tree and wrapped himself tightly with the cloak that Rongquan had blessed to obstruct his eyes.

He couldn't figure it out. It stands to reason that it was a temporary decision to go from the Shifting Star Cliff to the South of the New Continent, how could it be discovered so quickly? Even if it is discovered, Qingzhengtang is also neutral, as long as it is not harmful, the people of the demon clan will not be embarrassed. Even if you take a step back, the appearance of people from Qingzhengtang may indeed pose a threat, then it should be the King of Nan who came forward, what is the matter with Queen Guannan?

"Didn't you say it was nearby? What about people? At this time, the two people who had spoken before came over and happened to stop beside An Ruomu.

"This ...... My lord...... I guess I'm hiding. ”

"Smack", loud and crisp.

The one who was called an adult scolded "bastard" and "waste", and shouted loudly for everyone to hurry up and search.

An Ruomu raised his eyes and saw that neither of them was paying attention to their feet, so he began to move far away at an extremely slow speed.

It's a dense forest, and it's not easy to find someone, but there are a lot of people involved in the search, and it's only a matter of time before they're discovered.

An Ruomu was anxious, and after thinking about it for a long time, he was still at a loss.

He was like a snail, moving little by little, even if he was kicked and stepped on from time to time, he would never dare to make any sound.

Fortunately, after moving some distance, a small hill appeared in front of me, and there were still trees at the bottom of the slope, and even denser, and better yet, there was no one there.

God forbid! An Ruomu secretly thanked God, closed his eyes, and planned to roll down.

Unexpectedly, just when he was about to move, the cloak was actually pressed by something.

"Don't go down, there's a nest of swamp worms down there, and you won't have enough for them to stuff their teeth." It was the guy who had just been slapped in the face.

An Ruomu stiffened, as if he was frozen, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

"I know you're down there." The man whispered, "They're all over there, and they can't see us." ”

An Ruomu still didn't move, I don't know if he was friend or foe.

"I've been chopping firewood here for most of my life, and I've known every grass, and it's the first time I've seen a walking stone." Then the man said, "I know this is your trick, so come out and I will show you the way." ”

Hearing that his trick was discovered, An Ruomu could only show up no matter how unwilling he was.

"I'm going down, which direction is closest?" He looked around, but he really didn't see anyone searching.

The man didn't answer, just stared at An Ruomu.

Seeing that he was in tattered clothes, An Ruomu thought that he was a poor man, so he hurriedly handed over a gold coin: "Thank you." Please accept this little meaning. ”

The man took it, looked at it, and put it in his hand: "Little brother, it turns out that you are really down there." ”

As soon as these words came out, An Ruomu's ears immediately "buzzed".

"Here! Over here! The man then turned and shouted.

An Ruomu was angry and anxious, and he turned around and was about to jump down the hill.

The man clutched his cloak tightly and said, "I'm sorry, you're giving money, but that adult is dying." ”
