The three of them retreated, and as soon as they turned out of the main hall of the Military Command Office, Xing Hao stopped the two from leaving, and said, "Second brother, if there is anything in the future, don't hide it from me." ”

Cao Li understood and said, "I also decided just now, so how can I tell you in advance." ”

"If that's the case, then forget it, it's the suspicion of being a big brother. Xing Hao blamed himself a little, as if he was really a villain, and he was concerned about Cao Li, and said: "Big brother saw that you have practiced the "Ghost Thorn" cheats for the past two years, and the whole person has become a little gloomy, and his temperament is also very impatient, so the eldest brother advises you to abandon this book. ”

Cao Li was puzzled, and said: "My exercise has greatly improved my speed and strength, when it is as you said, if you want to blame me for not telling you the information of the demon clan in time, you can just say it." Between brothers, why bother with such side-knocking. ”

Xing Hao never thought that when Cao Li would become so arrogant and unreasonable, and he would say that brotherhood was so mean, but after thinking about it, he shouldn't blame Cao Li, he could only blame the assassin who had no history in the book "Ghost Thorn".

Jiang Wangchen on the side couldn't stand it anymore, stood up, and said: "Big brother has never been a narrow-minded person, this is known to the soldiers in the city, and he also saw that you hunted bears last time, and you were eager for quick success many times, and you were a little bloodthirsty and easy to kill, so he brought it up." If you don't listen, don't be wrong for your big brother's intentions. ”

Cao Li snorted coldly and said: "If it weren't for me, how could the black bear be led to the cliff mouth, although the two of you kicked off the cliff together, but most of the credit should be counted on me." Forget it, I won't tell you, I'm still practicing diligently, if I really encounter a demon beast, I can protect myself, and I don't have to bother you. After Cao Li finished speaking arrogantly, he didn't stop, turned around and left, leaving the other two brothers in the wind in a daze.

The spring sunshine swept away the haze of the border city for many days, the spring breeze was a few miles, the peach blossoms were beginning to bloom, there was an elegant fragrance in the air, and the people in the city also enjoyed the tranquility of spring as in previous years, but only Xing Hao and Jiang Wangchen still felt the haze that had not dissipated for a long time, and this worry was more about worrying about another person.

Xing Hao said: "Xiao Jiang, you have been in the army for many years, have you ever been tired?"

Jiang Wangchen said: "I never thought that I was only willing to fight side by side with the two eldest brothers, and it was enough. ”

Xing Hao's expression was sad, and he said: "I have half a horse, and my belief has never wavered, every time I think of the people of the border city, every year, can enjoy the ordinary spring ploughing and autumn harvest, and I don't feel tired anymore." It's just that this time I fought against the black bear, and I was really tired. ”

Jiang Wangchen met Xinghao's gaze and was silent.

Xing Hao continued: "I think that after this operation is over, I will apply to the city lord to retire and return to my hometown to be an ordinary person, and in the future, this escort will rely on Cao Li and you." Your second brother's personality is too rigid and self-serving, and he is not suitable for leadership, so you have to help share more. When the time comes, I will recommend Cao Li to the city lord to be promoted to lieutenant at the same time as you, and I will also count the last wish of the eldest brother. ”

Jiang Wangchen nodded heavily in agreement, and he also wanted his eldest brother to return to the garden with peace of mind.

Xing Hao patted Jiang Wangchen's shoulder with satisfaction, his eyes were slightly moist, and said: "Leaving the battlefield where he has been fighting for more than 20 years, and his comrades-in-arms who fight side by side with him day and night, it is really reluctant, big brother makes you smile." ”

"How the sand of this spring loves to make people's eyes. Jiang Wangchen was infected, hugged Xing Hao and said: "When the time comes, I and the soldiers will go to see you, and the eldest brother will have to prepare a few delicious rural game." ”

As soon as Jiang Wangchen said this, Xing Hao instantly returned to his old indulgence, and said: "Hahaha, it must be, there is still that old and mellow osmanthus wine." ”

Lin Zhujian is not far from Xinghao, and he has been walking back and forth for a while, he has something on his mind, which everyone can see, not to mention his old friend for more than ten years-Xinghao.

"Lao Lin, what makes you so restless. ”

Lin Zhujian was startled by Xing Hao's shout, he walked in front of Xing Hao, and stopped talking.

Xing Hao was surprised in his heart, and asked quietly, "This matter has something to do with me?"

Lin Zhujian did not object, and finally took a long breath, beckoned to Xinghao, and said, "Let's talk over there." ”

Xing Hao followed Lao Lin to the dark corner, and was surprised in his heart: "Lao Lin has always been calm and sophisticated, and he is also straightforward and calm in the army, why is he so stumbling today." ”

Xing Hao couldn't hold back any longer and said, "It's biased enough here." Lao Lin, you and my old friends for many years might as well say it if you have something to say. ”

Lin Zhujian's mouth was just about to open, as if he was concerned about something, and closed his mouth again.

Seeing Lin Zhujian like a mother-in-law, Xinghao couldn't stand it, and played with the taste: "Could it be that you lost all the money you just received in the Heaven and Earth Bureau." ”

Lin Zhujian shook his head.

"That's when people are middle-aged, their physical strength is not good, and they can't live as a couple. ”

Lin Zhujian glared at Xing Hao.

"Oh, it's not, then it must be in the incense dyeing shop, accidentally hit the ....... ”

"Stop, stop, stop, people say that the border city is proficient in the knife method, and its water-breaking double knife meaning is ever-changing, sometimes stormy, sometimes endless, when brave in the world. But I don't know that he has a shocking and world-beating mouth, even if the shrew who scolds the street has to retreat from admiration in front of him, and give three points of courtesy, it's a pity, between heaven and earth, I am the only one who appreciates the style of his mouth. ”

Xinghao laughed. After the two boasted jokes. Xing Hao put away his smile, there was no more playful abuse on his face, and repeated again: "Lao Lin, you and I have been brothers for more than ten years. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly. ”

Lin Zhujian also recovered his normal color and said, "I think Cao Li has become more and more problematic. ”

Lin Zhujian stopped, anticipating Xinghao's surprised reaction, but he didn't expect that Xinghao remained silent, as if he expected it, so he had to continue: "Since three years ago, after the battle of Youtan, his whole person has been subtly changed by that mysterious exercise, you still remember how energetic and enthusiastic he was when he first joined the army. Look at that later, he often hid in the shadows alone, did not say a word for a long time, and became impulsive, and now he has become more belligerent and bloodthirsty, and often even disregards the lives of others, you see this bear hunt, if Cao Li acted according to your command, Wang Shan would not be injured so badly. ”

Xinghao listened and did not refute.

"I know that you have a deep brotherhood, and you know him much better than I do, but as the saying goes, 'the bystander is clear', I hope you will think about it more, you are both his brother and the captain of the border city team, and all decisions are up to you. As your comrade-in-arms for more than ten years, I also support any decision you make. After Lin Zhujian finished speaking, he didn't wait for Xinghao to say anything, he put his hands on his back, shook his head and left.

Xinghao looked at Lin Zhujian, looked at his slightly clumsy and thin back, and recalled the majestic and heroic young man standing beside him when he joined the army, and couldn't help but feel that time flies and the years go by. Thinking of the past years, Lin Zhujian was born and died with him countless times, and this time was the last time he fought with his comrades, he couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart, and said, "Lao Lin, thank you." ”

Lin Zhujian listened, raised his hand and shook it, counting it as "you're welcome"

Xinghao has never said such hypocritical words, it is rare to do it once today, but he was so "indifferent" to Lin Zhujian that he was unhappy, and "retaliated": "I heard that the Lang Chinese medicine on the street from the Zhao family's iron shop is skilled, if you really win, it is better to seek medical treatment as soon as possible." ”

After Lin Zhujian heard this, the tiger's body was shocked, and then the raised hand made an extremely indecent gesture, then turned around and disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

In the evening of the second day, it began to rain again in Dongdushan, and the rain was as thin as a cow's hair, gently patting the new leaves of the poplar tree, like the aftersound of the end of the plucked string, soft and delicate, and particularly good. After the black bear disappeared, deep in the forest, within a day, this nature could not bear the silence and regained its vitality little by little. And at this moment when the night is about to fall, it is the insect chirping, singing the loudest and most vivid.

The border city guards took advantage of an open space outside the circle to set up two camp tents, and everyone gathered in the center of the camp after collecting some dry firewood. Neeson made a move 'Flame Rush' to make a fire, which provoked all the soldiers to applaud, Neeson enjoyed the vanity brought by such worship, and fiddled with a Vermilion Bird Streamer Jade Pendant on his waist with his right hand, and said proudly: "This Fire Sparrow Jade Pendant given by Master Shanyan is really not comparable to ordinary mortals, and it has made my fire power surge a lot." ”

When everyone heard this, they were even more surprised, and one of the recruits couldn't help but ask curiously, "The good Yan mage that Big Brother Ni said, but the magic master of the Fa Ao Association, Master Good Yan Shan?"

Nison curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "Could it be that there is another Shanyan master in this Dongxuan Continent." ”

Everyone exclaimed, and they all cast envious eyes. Neeson smiled, this effect made him satisfied, and he was proud in his heart: My genius mage Neeson should be the focus of the stars and moons.

Everyone surrounded Nissen, you said a word, I asked after each other, or about the practice of the mage, or some information about the Faao Association, but they also knew that they didn't care about this at all, and that superficial enthusiasm just wanted to be close to Nissen, after all, in the Dongxuan Continent, one more friend, one more road. What's more, this distinguished friend is a promising young mage.

Yan Han leaned against a big tree next to the circle, and the young man from a poor background set his eyes on the circle, but he was absent-minded, and turned to look at the rough wood staff in his hand, and his heart was inferior and burning: Look at your ugly appearance, you are the mortal product that you spurn in his mouth. But so what, you and I have lived and died together for many years, and this kind of affection is not comparable to an artifact.

The Rimwood Staff felt the warmth from the palm of its master's palm, resonating, emitting a soft ice blue shimmer.

Xing Hao patrolled the perimeter, as conscientious as ever, even if it was his last mission, he should not be taken lightly. Jiang Wangchen held the heavy sword and gestured with the sword moves, consolidating his swordsmanship,

Cao Li was carrying a bonfire on his back and was beside a stone, grinding his dagger 'ghost bone' over and over again. The sound of sharpening knives was unusually quiet. No one could see his face clearly in the darkness, and could only follow his line of sight to see the enchanting flickering firelight reflected in the light of Sensen's sword, and the extraordinarily red face illuminated by the firelight in the distance—a face that laughed extremely exaggerated and conceited. Half paid, Cao Li made a decision, got up neatly and shook off the rain from his clothes, and slowly hid the cold light of the dagger into the scabbard, just like he hid the smile in the corner of his eyes into the darkness.

No one noticed that not far from the camp, there seemed to be some movement, making an intermittent rustling sound.
