Chapter 314: Civil Strife (23)
Although Howard was in a hurry, he also knew that he couldn't mess around, because he didn't know which inconspicuous corner Qin Guo would be imprisoned in, so he could only patiently let the large army start to search the inside of the cottage from the gate.
While they were busy cleaning up the stragglers they encountered along the road, Leach and his party were distracted by a sudden explosion.
In the darkness of the night, a fire suddenly broke out near the wooden house of the leader that Leach had been to before.
Although he couldn't fully see what was going on over there due to the light and distance, Howard pointed to the place where the fire was burning and shouted, "Miss Qinguo is there!"
Before he could finish speaking, he rushed out like an arrow, and he even forgot to call his men to help.
Leach naturally knew that it was impossible for Qin Guo to be imprisoned, so in order to avoid extraneous complications, he never told Howard Ming, and when he helped find someone, he was just making a show. Besides, even if everything is clarified with him, Howard has to say whether he believes it or not, and instead of wasting saliva, it is better to let him see it with his own eyes.
When he heard the explosion, Leach had the same judgment as Howard, the difference was that Howard relied on ethereal telepathy, or pure blindness, while Leach was eighty or ninety percent sure.
Originally, Leach was still thinking about how to tell Howard to get his attention to the side where the explosion occurred, but before he could speak, he rushed out in a hurry, and the only thing that made Leach a little unhappy was that he didn't even call any of his subordinates when he ran.
Looking at the town guards in the distance who were still busy searching the house, and no one noticed that their leader had left the place, Leach thought for a moment, beckoned Shangsaya and Tali to follow quietly, maybe the few people might get a miracle.
When Leach and Howard rushed to the firelight, they saw the scene of the Qinguo Six being besieged.
Howard, who was about to rush out as soon as he grabbed his head, covered his mouth to prevent the latter from making any sound, and Leach had the leisure to look into the clearing.
At a glance, Leach recognized one of the two men who had stolen the plot in the wooden hut where the miscellaneous things were kept, but it was too unique for the scar that almost stretched all over his face.
After watching it for a while, Leach figured out something to taste.
The explosion was made by the people on Hart's side, because until now they were still throwing explosives at the six people in the center, and on the other hand, on the Qinguo side, in order to protect Qinguo and the short-haired woman, the remaining four big men seemed to be a little scrambling.
The bearded man used the giant shield in his hand to block the shock wave of the explosion, the tall and thin man used the only fireball technique that could be used to detonate the explosives in mid-air, and the viper man and the small man were responsible for setting aside the "fish that slipped through the net".
Although Hart didn't know why a maid who had just been captured was so valued by several leaders, even if she was desperately injured, she had to protect her, but since she had discovered the weakness of the other party, it would be too sorry for her observation if she didn't hold on tightly, so all the attacks were directed towards Qin Guo and the short-haired woman.
Perhaps because he was too focused on the situation on the court to ignore the control of Howard, Leach was wondering when to make a move, and he suddenly broke free and rushed out.
"Miss Qinguo, I'm here to save you!" Like all silly protagonists in romances, Howard, who ran out to save people, did not act secretly to increase the likelihood of saving people, but began to shout as soon as he appeared, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was coming.
However, it is obvious that although Howard has the protagonist's style and a heart eager to confess his heart to the "heroine", he does not have the luck and strength that the protagonist should have, and almost as soon as he appears, the next moment explosives fly towards the place where he is standing.
If it weren't for Leach, who reacted, rushed over in time to pull him aside, then the little supporting character who thought he was the male protagonist would have died.
Howard ...... Big brother?" After seeing that it was Howard who rushed out, Qin Guo was obviously very surprised, and even forgot that they were now at the base of the "rebels", and habitually shouted.
Seeing that the "heroine" finally noticed herself, Howard was like a chicken blood, and his bloodless face, which had just been under the hood, turned red as blood in an instant: "It's me, Miss Qinguo, don't be afraid, I will save you!"
Leach watched Howard talk to himself and play a one-man show there, and the bearded man opposite was also thundered, and he was careless and almost injured Qin Guo behind him, and he couldn't figure out where this was a fool who ran out.
Hart was first startled when he saw an unknown person suddenly running out, and then he was a little amused when he saw Howard's funny performance, but after laughing, he suddenly realized that the cottage no longer seemed to be as safe as he imagined.
Also aware of this is Qinguo, unlike Hart, she knows Howard's true identity, and since his first leader has arrived here, doesn't it mean that the cottage has been captured by the guards of the town of Kelmos?
Thinking of this, Qin Guo suddenly became angry with Hart, a person she had always admired very much, if he hadn't chosen to rebel at this time at an inopportune time, and hid most of the guiding weapons in the cottage, how could the cottage have no resistance to the invasion of the town guards, and how could it be possible to wait until the other party hit the door before realizing that something was wrong?
It stands to reason that Qin Guo, who was "kidnapped", would definitely be ecstatic after seeing someone come to save him, at least he had to show joy on his face, but after seeing Howard's deity, Qin Guo not only did not show the slightest joy, but after experiencing the initial accident and surprise, he turned his head and began to stare viciously at Hart, who had been ordering the attack.
It wasn't until this moment that Howard sensed something was wrong, and it seemed to ...... Was it a little different from what he had imagined?
"Miss Qinguo, are you ...... Are you alright?" asked Howard, skeptically.
Hearing Howard's voice, Qin Guo came back to his senses from his complaint against Hart, and forced a smile on his face: "I'm fine, Brother Howard, thank you for rushing to save me, I'm so happy!"
If this had been placed before, hearing Qin Guo thank him, Howard would definitely have his tail cocked happily, but at this time, there were already doubts in his heart, and he had a different opinion when he looked at this matter again. No matter how you look at it, Qin Guo doesn't look like he's happy.
