Chapter 28: See the Old Man Again
Snow fell on October 3, 117 year of the Nas Chronicle
Outside the Imperial Army Division in Snowfall City, the turquoise vegetation was particularly vivid in the faint golden morning light, like a piece of emerald jade reflected in the fluorite lamp.
Yan Tianhan squinted through the window of the carriage and looked at the top of the hill lit by the morning light for a while, until the bright stroke on the outline of the hill completely disappeared, then he put down the curtain, closed his eyes and pressed his temples, thinking about the location of Teacher Drake in his heart, and whispered: "Teacher Drake should have prepared the first trap by now, think about the four sentences in the spar recording and playback box, it is really extremely subtle, Harold, you are really a genius in language." ”
"Senior brother, I'm a little embarrassed that you praise me so bluntly. Harold smiled at Yan Tianhan and slapped Wu Ling with his elbow, "Hey, what do you think Wu Ling?
Since Wu Ling decided to completely destroy Guo Yansheng's family last night, the whole person has been in a state of unwillingness, and it is important to nip potential dangers in the bud, but the means of killing people with knives to get rid of Guo Yansheng and eliminating potential dangers are actually dominated by framing, which makes it difficult for Wu Ling to understand and accept. For the first time, Wu Ling was lost in right and wrong, and worriedly fiddled with the dagger in his hand, until Yan Tianhan and Harold broke the silence, and then opened their mouths to answer, and said: "I won't do such a ridiculous thing at this time, I'm very worried about Mr. Drake, Mr. Drake is not as careful and serious as he imagined, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not neglect to leave evidence." Moreover, I still think that we have exaggerated this matter, and there is no need to drive Guo Yansheng to a dead end. ”
"Didn't I write a plan for Mr. Drake, Mr. Drake's steps are not cumbersome, there is no problem. Don't you believe your own teachers?" Yan Tianhan shrugged after speaking, completely rejecting Wu Ling's opinion, his face was slightly gloomy, "The reason why Guo Chongze dared to come to assassinate was not because of the dog's fight against the human power and the fox and the fake tiger? Without Guo Yansheng's cover, would he dare to act so recklessly? You have been fighting with wild beasts and underworld beasts in Xueluo Thirty-five Village for six or seven years, and you don't even understand the truth that the weak eat the strong." You can't be soft-hearted just because the Guo family is a human being and not a beast, let me tell you Wu Ling, the most poisonous and terrifying thing in this world is the human heart!"
"No, no, no, the most poisonous and terrible thing is the woman's heart and you, senior brother!" Harold was still angry at Wan Shuo's repeated frauds, and at the same time, as a witness to Yan Tianhan's layout last night, Harold had been completely convinced by Yan Tianhan's viciousness.
It doesn't sound very comfortable, but it's an affirmation of my ability. Yan Tianhan laughed, and after laughing, he shouted to the housekeeper and the driver in front of the car, "Stop! Stop! We are here, you are still the same, just wait at the entrance of the military sub-department!"
Harold was the first to get out of the car, looking at the Imperial Army Branch of Snow Falling City at the foot of the mountain, he had a feeling of abandonment, thinking that Yan Tianhan had made a mistake, and reminded: "Get off here? There is still some distance from the Imperial Army Branch." ”
"Otherwise?" Yan Tianhan jumped out of the car, greeted the morning light, and pointed to the hillside leading to the imperial army branch, "Anyway, everyone has no energy, and it's really a little tired after not sleeping all night, why don't we go down and see who gets to the gate of the army branch first." Yan Tianhan made a starting action, and the round ball was on the grass, which was very funny.
"Wu Ling and I are very familiar with this hillside, and the day before the new test, we and Wan Shuo set up a tent here. Harold bent down and pulled a grass stalk, held it in his mouth, and pointed to a low grass next to him, obviously under heavy pressure.
"Hey, the tent where you two slept with Wan Shuo?"
"Hey, hey, guess what?" Harold smirked.
In terms of small talk, it is difficult for Wu Ling to synchronize with Harold, and now Yan Tianhan, who is very compatible with Harold, takes on the role of accompanying the chatter, so that Wu Ling has time to worry about Drake, who arranged the trap. Just as he was thinking, a few very faint and dull shouts immediately alerted Wu Ling, "Hey!" Wu Ling shouted at Harold and Yan Tianhan, and his eyes clicked on the bushes next to him.
However, the two of them were completely immersed in the heated discussion, Harold shook his head in confusion, and Yan Tianhan also shook his head.
Wu Ling made a silent gesture at Harold, who was about to speak, and at the same time glared at Harold viciously to warn him. At that moment, a dull cry was heard again from the bushes, accompanied by two slightly longer lapping sounds.
Wu Ling took out a short dagger from behind him and threw it into the bushes, and the person jumped in after him. Yan Tianhan and Harold didn't dare to take a breath, waiting for Wu Ling to wear it back.
Wu Ling jumped into the outer part of the bushes and saw only a blonde man in a dark red robe, bound by several rattans, the man had no clothes on his body except for his robe, and a ball of red cloth was stuffed in his mouth. The whole person is like a red and white bacon that has been dried for a long time, and on the butt of this "bacon", there is a dagger that Wu Ling just thrown. The man didn't know if it was because of the pain or because he saw the hope of being saved, he looked very excited, trembling, and whining through the red cloth in his mouth.
Wu Ling remembered who this person was, this person was the servant of the Wan family who was chasing Wan Shuo, he had been chasing Wan Shuo for so long, and now that he was tied up here, Wu Ling couldn't help but be rewarded for good and evil. Ignoring the man's shouts, Wu Ling stepped forward and pulled out the dagger inserted in his buttocks, wiped the blood with the man's red robe, and put it into the sheath behind him. After that, he took off the red cloth stuffed in the man's mouth, and when he threw it aside, the red cloth was spread out and spread on the ground, and it turned out to be boxers.
The red-robed man had some impression of Wu Ling, and scolded Wu Ling who was wiping his hands: "Little rabbit cub!
Wu Ling was upset by last night's incident, he was not in a good mood, he was scolded by the red running man for a few words, and the anger in his stomach exploded immediately, and he jumped up from the ground with a rub, and kicked the face of the red-robed man. Seeing that the red-robed man was kicked and almost stopped moving, Wu Ling still had no intention of stopping.
The shouting and scolding in the bushes and the beating sound after Wu Ling's anger could no longer sit idly by, Harold and Yan Tianhan hurriedly rushed into the bushes, saw that Wu Ling was violent, and stepped forward to pull Wu Ling back for a distance.
"Are you crazy, calm down!" Yan Tianhan hugged Wu Ling, and his face was cold and elbowed.
Harold was no better, he was hit on the cheek by Wu Ling's left shoulder, and shouted to Wu Ling in pain: "Stop me!
When Wu Ling heard the word death, he finally deflated, stopped resisting, and looked coldly at the red-robed man who was almost unconscious on the ground, "Plug it!" Wu Ling pointed at the red-robed man's bloody mouth.
Harold hurriedly tore off a piece of cloth from the red-robed man's robe, tied a few knots and stuffed it into the red-robed man's mouth. Wu Ling picked out the red pants on the grass ground with a half-sword in his hand, covered the face of the red-robed man, and walked out of the bushes.
Harold recognized the red-robed man, so he naturally understood the reason, and Yan Tianhan seemed to have figured out the reason. The three of them left the bushes for a few dozen meters, and after making sure that they would not be heard, Yan Tianhan said: "That's the person who is chasing Wan Shuo, Teacher Drake really has a set of kidnapping people, and the thorn strip with pants is really bad enough." Wu Ling, your anger should also be gone, don't be cold-faced. ”
Wu Ling nodded, wiped the blood stains on the toe of his shoes with grass, and said, "Yes, it's this dog fighting human power." I can't kill him!"
Yan Tianhan listened to Wu Ling's words, couldn't help but hold his stomach and laugh, pointed at Wu Ling and said, "It's a shame that you are still worried about preaching justice and humanity along the way, and you will turn against you this time?"
"This ...... Forget it, I can't say you! Didn't you just say that you were going to compete? What's the benefit of winning?" Wu Ling knew that he was at a loss, and he really couldn't distinguish Yan Tianhan, so he directly changed the topic.
Regarding Wu Ling's intention to divert the topic, Yan Tianhan thought that this was surrender and admit defeat, and he was very proud, so he brushed the back of Lida with his hand, and said with a smile: "If you win, eat more at noon!"
Harold waved his hand and shouted, "Senior brother, there is no need for you to compare like this, even if Wu Lingdi and I escape, in the end, you will definitely eat the most." ”
Wu Ling felt that this word was familiar, and remembered that last night when Mr. Drake talked about the "Lily City Incident" and said a word - Holy Escape, Wu Ling searched for his extremely limited knowledge reserves, found nothing, and muttered to himself: "Holy Escape?"
"Have you also heard of Saint Dun, could it be the first time you heard it last night?" Yan Tianhan patted Wu Ling, with a sad expression embedded in his face, "It doesn't matter if you can't learn it in the thirty-five villages of Xueluo City, I'll give you a science popularization, Saint Dun is an extremely mysterious institution, it is said that it is the core institution of the Blade Council, responsible for intelligence assassination, and it is all a top master, and warlocks and warriors are the top saint ranks." ”
Harold was obviously dissatisfied with Yan Tianhan's prejudice and his answer, and teased: "Hey, you said it was said, but I am not so sure after reading you." Is it reliable or not? You have a contradiction in what you say, although we don't know much, but I haven't heard of any core organization that is responsible for assassination? My dad is the village head, the core figure of the core organization of the 35th village in Xueluo City, according to you, my dad should be fine to go out and walk around in his night clothes?"
Yan Tianhan was recognized, looked a little embarrassed, rubbed his hands and squeezed out a smile, and said: "Okay, I admit it, I was fooling you just now, but your thirty-five villages in Xueluo City are really talented, with high combat effectiveness, quick thinking, and such profound language attainments, and can be literate and martial, and the intelligence agency of the Blade Council will really be under the control of the two of you in the future." ”
Harold glanced at Yan Tianhan and said, "This is still a human saying. ”
Wu Ling didn't get an answer, he was somewhat disappointed, recited the Holy Escape a few times, and decided to ask Lantian or Lanlin Peak another day.
After grinding on the hillside for nearly an hour, the three of them successfully achieved the achievement of the last three at the sign-in desk at the entrance of the martial arts arena.
Lan Linfeng, Lan Tian, Fang Lei and Guo Yansheng were already seated in the long pavilion, this time these four people did not sit together, but lined up in the long pavilion with the academy as a unit, Lan Linfeng and Lan Tian sat in the middle, Fang Lei and Guo Yansheng were on the left and right, in addition to these four people, there were only two or three students in each academy, doing simple recording work.
There is a column of candidates lined up in front of each academy representative, and it can be seen from the length of the queue that most people chose the Imperial War College and the Aobo War College, roughly counting, the number of people in the two columns is not a big problem, and the Gezhi War College side, the team is pitifully short, only sixteen people, among these sixteen people, there are three or five wandering, constantly talking to the candidates in the team next to them, looking flustered and impatient.
Wu Ling saw Guo Yansheng from afar, his face with high cheekbones was like a bronze vessel that had not been maintained for many years, rusted with a gloomy dark blue. Guo Yansheng also saw Wu Ling, glared at Wu Ling viciously, his lips closed slightly a few times, obviously swearing a few words.
Far away, although I couldn't hear what Guo Yansheng said, it was certain that Guo Yansheng was definitely not praising and singing, Wu Ling was not to be outdone, raised his chin and glared at Guo Yansheng for a while, before taking his eyes off Guo Yansheng.
Lan Linfeng saw that Wu Ling and the three of them had arrived, and beckoned to Wu Ling and the three of them, signaling the three of them to come forward to the front of the stage. Guo Yansheng was very unhappy with Lan Linfeng's action, glanced at Lan Linfeng coldly, picked up the teacup and poured it violently, and slapped the teacup heavily on the table.
"Guo Yansheng's anger is really big, but it seems that everything is going according to our expectations. Guo Yansheng's series of performances made Yan Tianhan more sure of the fact that Guo Chongze left school without authorization, and confidently explained to Wu Ling and Harold, "He can still sit there and scold us, which shows at least two things." First, Guo Chongyan's life is not in danger for the time being, looking at his dark circles, it is estimated that he stayed up all night last night; second, he should not know about Guo Chongze's private outing. Yan Tianhan confidently gave a conclusion, waiting for Wu Ling and Harold to ask why.
"What do you say?" This time, Wu Ling grabbed ahead of Harold and opened his mouth first.
Yan Tianhan smiled slightly and said, "Just imagine, whether Guo Chongyan hung up, or he already knew that Guo Chongze went out privately. One is the death of a close relative, and the other is the punishment for treason, even if one of them is hit, Guo Yansheng will not be able to sit here honestly, and no one can have such determination. ”
Wu Ling thought for a moment and added: "If Guo Chongze goes out privately, Guo Yansheng can settle it by revising the academy's records, and he should just not know that Guo Chongze has disappeared now." We assume that the condition for the establishment of the crime of treason is that Guo Chongze is completely missing, and Guo Yansheng cannot cover up Guo Chongze's outing, so that the coffin can be concluded. ”
After listening to Wu Ling's analysis, Yan Tianhan couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "The children are teachable, have a strong learning ability, and are already able to understand it." ”
"Don't keep putting gold on your face. Harold gave him a hard slap.
Yan Tianhan stuck out his tongue and looked around aimlessly, in the team of the Aobo War Academy, Yan Tianhan saw a graceful figure, with a black ponytail, a white coat and a silver-white one-handed sword. In a male-dominated and darkly dressed ranks, girls stand out. Yan Tianhan saw God for a while, and stood motionless.
The girl in white seemed to feel that someone was staring at her, turned her head slightly, and looked in the direction of Yan Tianhan, this look was so startled that the girl almost jumped up, barely squeezed out a smile, then turned her head back, pretending to stare at the long pavilion calmly, and did not look back.
When Yan Tianhan saw Wan Shuo for the first time, Wan Shuo was wearing a gray robe, and Yan Tianhan didn't pay too much attention to it. Today, Wan Shuo was dressed in a slim white dress, Yan Tianhan only felt that something was awakened in his heart, and muttered, "Wan Shuo." ”
"Hmm, where is it, where is the girl?" Harold's cold words instantly disturbed the throbbing in Yan Tianhan's heart.
Yan Tianhan said to Harold angrily: "What about the white clothes!"
