Hua Youyou smiled at Jiang Wangchen and said, "I didn't expect that your piece of wood would still be able to exert its residual heat at a critical moment." ！”

"That is, I am the main brain of the border city guards, and this difficulty is a piece of cake for me. Jiang Wangchen held his chest against his chest, and boasted modestly, and suddenly realized that Hua Youyu had something to say, and he was in the middle of it, squinting his eyes, and said with a fierce light: "No, who are you talking about who is wood?"

Hua Youyou looked at the embarrassed appearance of Jiang Wangchen, who was unresponsive, pursed his lips, held his lower abdomen and forced a smile, relieved for a moment and said: "Okay, I know that you are also a talent, with excellent intelligence, dragons and phoenixes among people, very rare, okay." Look at your seven-foot man's little caution, just kidding, isn't it okay!"

Jiang Wangchen pretended to be fierce, but the anger in his eyes did not subside, he held his head high, looked arrogant and swallowed mountains and rivers, and his eyes were empty, and he pouted and said: "Even a dignified seven-foot man, how can you make fun of him as a piece of wood." ”

Hua Youyou's nose snorted coldly, and pretended to scratch his head and make a gesture, and said sarcastically in an exaggerated tone: "Ouch! What a seven-foot wood, neither self-humble and polite, but also don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, what are you not wood?"

Jiang Wangchen was speechless, blushing, and only felt that his seven feet had been cut off, and only more than three feet remained.

Hua Youyou saw that Jiang Wangchen was already poor in donkey skills, and he didn't embarrass him, after all, how could he win the wooden fight, he turned his words, patted Jiang Wangchen's shoulder, and said sweetly: "Okay, okay, I'm teasing you, even if you hit it by mistake, after all, if it weren't for your reminder, I wouldn't be able to solve the mystery." ”

Jiang Wangchen stepped on the steps and just landed, and his tail cocked again: "That is, if I hadn't proposed to take the Dragon Purple Blood Cauldron as the core, I don't know how many detours I would have to take, but in the end, if I can peel off the clouds and see the moon, it depends on your cleverness." ”

Hua Youyou smiled even more heartily, but he didn't expect Jiang Wangchen to know how to praise each other, so he pretended to be polite at the moment, and said: "Where, where, if you don't pay attention to it carefully, and find out the reason, I can't get an answer no matter how much I ask for it, right." ”

Jiang Wangchen also echoed and laughed three times, and the two of them talked boastfully, each of them did not forget to boast a few more words, and forgot all about the fact that he was still trapped in the secret room in the laughter and scolding, but what does it matter, in adversity, it is an extremely lucky thing to be able to obtain short-term happiness, not to mention that it is still with his loved ones, what reason is there to be harsh.

The spring rain in the border city finally came to an end at dusk in the western mountains, and the hurried footsteps stepped through the muddy narrow road and came one after another. In the military commander's accommodation, the creaking sound of a wooden door turning, in the quiet dusk, seemed particularly harsh, it should have been raining for days, wetting the door shaft, so that the wooden door is no longer as smooth and natural as before, and this is only the beginning of all unnatural.

Cao Li woke up, and the wound on his back began to sour and stinging after the effect of the snake venom given by the Mamba had subsided. Cao Li leaned on the pillow of the sickbed, touched the ghost bone with his left hand, sneered at the corner of his mouth, and laughed at himself: "You said, this wound was caused by Mamba when he attacked me, and then Mamba used anesthetic to temporarily stop bleeding and relieve pain, and now I have the poison of the heart-splitting bone quenching pill in my body, and I want to cooperate with him, this life, is it ironic to live." ”

The empty room did not respond.

"You said that the eldest brother and the third brother have always been auspicious, and it should be fine, but now I and the two of them are already enemies, even if they can turn evil into good fortune, he will see you again in the future, and there will be no friendship left, forget it, forget it, if you want to become a big thing, you still have to take care of these things, it is enough to have you accompany me all the way through the thorns. Cao Li lightly swiped his fingers across the blade, and a cold attack struck, which actually relieved the pain of the wound on his back.

The ghost bones did not escape into the dagger, only a few traces of afterglow, through the hollow window, the dilapidated window was peeled off by the years A few pieces of red paint, mottled rendering the afterglow, the afterglow was faint, trying his best through the dim dormitory, falling on the exposed ghost bone blade, refracting a strange light color, that is the drunken red of the sunset wrapped in red lacquer windows, or the scarlet that penetrated after drinking blood yesterday, it doesn't look like, it looks a bit like a peach in the spring breeze.

The creak of the door being pushed open interrupted Cao Li's thoughts, and Cao Li quickly put the ghost bones under the pillow on his right hand. Approaching him was a middle-aged man with a bloated figure, who always maintained a kind smile on his face, and the other man next to him had a straight face, looking bitter and hateful.

Cao Li wanted to get up and luggage, but he was restrained by the pain of the wound, his face was pale but he still stood up stubbornly, looked at He Tianyong who was walking towards him, and said, "He City Lord!" Before he could make a routine military salute, he was drunk by He Tianyong.

"Cao Li, don't move. He Tianyong hurriedly stepped forward, supported Cao Li, and said with concern: "If you are injured, those military rules and conventions will be spared." ”

Cao Li nodded and thanked him: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

He Tianyong waved his hand, no longer polite, the gentle smile slowly receded from the wrinkles at the corners of his mouth, and asked in a low voice: "Cao Li, you came back from a serious injury before, and you passed out after only two words, and I didn't have a chance to ask more, I shouldn't have bothered you when you were riddled with injuries, but now it is urgent, so I ...... it."

Cao Li interrupted: "City Lord, I understand, after I woke up, I wanted to send someone to report to you, but I didn't want the City Lord to have a heart, so I came to see me first." ”

"Then what happened on Dongdu Mountain?" He Tianyong couldn't bear it, contrary to his previous calmness and calmness, he eagerly asked: "Why is you the only one left in the elite team to come back, and Neeson?"

He Cong, who was standing next to him, saw He Tianyong's gaffe and reminded: "City Lord, Deputy Captain Cao is seriously injured, let him slow down first." ”

He Tianyong also felt out of shape, so he sat back in the chair and didn't ask any more questions, and the emotions he was suppressing were all revealed in those torch-like eyes.

Cao Li raised the pillow on the backrest a little higher, half-leaned on his body, and said: "After we arrived at Dongdushan the day before yesterday, we first set up camp, everything was calm, and at dusk the next day, Master Neeson began to cast a spell to lift the seal, and just when the seal was about to be broken, Jiang Wangchen, who was close to Nissen, suddenly pulled out his long sword and secretly calculated Nissen who was concentrating from his back. ”

"What are you talking about, Jiang Wangchen secretly plotted against Nissen. This time it was He Cong who interrupted Cao Li, and he repeated what he had just heard with his own ears, but he still couldn't believe it. He Tianyong, who was sitting on the side, was calm, but the armrest of the chair fell off a corner, and he didn't pay attention to it, and asked coldly: "Then what next." ”

Cao Li coughed lightly, adjusted his breathing, and continued to speak: "Neeson was seriously injured and fell to the ground, and soon lost his breath. Cao Li stopped, looked sideways at He Tianyong on the side, and saw that his face was as gray as gray, and he didn't mean to speak, so he continued.

"Because the incident happened too suddenly, all the people were stunned at the time, did not react, at this time from the camp from all sides rushed out of a very large number of demon beasts, under the siege of the demon beasts, we were defeated, and most of the brothers were killed and injured at once, I and the captain of the torture team all the way to kill and retreat, retreated to the cliff mouth of Dongdu Mountain, the captain of the torture team in order to cover my escape, was shot down into the black water under the cliff, I don't know life and death. I rode the darkness and used the stealth and speed of the Assassins to finally break out of the encirclement, but the other warriors were not so lucky. ”

"If I can die on the battlefield with them, I have no regrets, but I feel that I am not burdened, but I think that my eldest brother is trying to make me stand out from the encirclement, and I am desperate to kill the enemy, and now my life and death are unknown, and I can't live up to his determination, so I will live up to the world for the time being, he will meet the demon clan and the third brother again in the future, no, Jiang Wangchen, I must avenge the eldest brother and the soldiers. ”

When Cao Li said this, he was filled with righteous indignation, and couldn't help coughing violently again and again, which led to the wound on his back, and there was a sharp pain.

After He Tianyong listened, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and he did not speak.

He Cong also had mixed feelings in his heart, but he didn't know how to talk about it.

In the quiet dusk, the amber color faded, and in the quiet room, the landing of fine needles was also particularly abrupt, and He Cong opened his mouth to break the silence of the three: "How many demon beasts are there? ”

Cao Li said: "At that time, the incident happened suddenly, and I didn't have a concept, but it was estimated that it would be at least three times as much as ours." ”

He Cong anxiously folded his fingers and calculated, counting the number he already had in his heart, He Tianyong leaned back against the seat, and the fingers of his left hand were tapping on the armrest at a fast pace, and said, "You said that Jiang Wangchen betrayed the border city guards. ”

Cao Li touched the ghost bone with his right hand and said coldly: "Yes." ”

Jiang Wangchen has been in the army for five years, he is an upright person, he has made countless military achievements before he was twenty years old, and he was even promoted to second lieutenant last year, I can't think of any reason for him to betray the border city and go to the demon clan. ”

Cao Li sighed, waited for this breath to fall in the dim corner, and said: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't want to believe it more than you, I have the same brotherhood with Jiang Wangchen, and I have become a Jinlan righteousness, on the way back to the border city, this problem has always troubled me and supported me." ”

It should be that he was tired, Cao Li adjusted the sliding pillow again, paused and continued: "Later, I slowly recalled and realized with Jiang Wangchen that I finally found something suspicious. ”

After He Tianyong knew the reason, he regained his composure, his fingers still kept beating rhythmically, and he said in surprise: "Oh!

"Jiang Wangchen's life experience, we have never known, I once asked him, he only said that he and his mother together in a certain mountain depended on each other, when he was fifteen years old, his mother died, he left such and such a mountain, and then came to the border city. ”

"What's so strange about this?" He Cong disagreed.

Cao Li said unhurriedly: "You think, how can the mother and son live in the barren mountains and mountains for fifteen years, and whenever we ask his father, he always avoids answering and does not mention a word, so I think his background is suspicious." ”

He Cong looked at He Tianyong, and when he saw that he was also looking at him with the same eyes, he couldn't help but be embarrassed, coughed twice, and said: "If it is just because he has a clear background, it is a bit reckless to say that he betrayed the border city." ”

Cao Li said: "What Deputy Instructor He said is that when I first thought about this, I also had doubts, and even felt that Jiang Wangchen must have some hardships to hide his life experience, but I also remembered another characteristic of Jiang Wangchen that is different from ordinary people......"

Cao Li paused a little when he said this, I don't know if Cao Li paused deliberately, or because He Cong couldn't help but be curious, he interrupted: "What characteristic?"

"Jiang Wangchen has a very strong recovery ability, which the soldiers in the army have heard of, does City Lord He remember that Jiang Wangchen was seriously injured last year in order to save the City Lord?"

He Tianyong thought for a moment and said: "Well, remember, at that time, the border city guards captured a winged bat demon beast, and I didn't think that in the middle of the night, there were two more large winged bats exploring the border city at night, one attacked the military commander's prison, and the other disturbed Hefu. I remember that the winged bat used the technique of exploding the body, wanting to burn the jade and stone, and died with He Fu, but Jiang Wangchen used his body to resist domineeringly, but this also caused him to be seriously injured. ”

He Tianyong's words stopped abruptly, and the fingers tapping the armrest also stopped in mid-air.

"Yes, such a serious injury, it would take a year and a half to recover, to say the least, but Jiang Wangchen, it took him less than half a month to recover as before, and even became more courageous. Cao Li continued with He Tianyong's words, and added: "Although there are talented people in our human race, most of them refer to the elements of perception, comprehension of oracles, and such spiritual cultivation. But the flesh is so strong that only some special demon beasts have it. ”

"What! You said Jiang Wangchen is a demon beast?" He Cong couldn't help but shout.

"That's just my guess. ”

He Cong said: "In this way, Jiang Wangchen really betrayed the human race, no, he has been lurking in the ......."

"Okay, let's talk about it today, Cao Li is still injured, He Cong told him to rest well, don't ask too much. He Tianyong Huo Ran stood up from his chair, interrupted He Cong, and ordered: "Tomorrow, you will post Jiang Wangchen's portrait on the wanted list." ”

"Yes, the city lord reminds you, Vice Captain Cao, you have a good rest, and we will come to see you later. ”

The two said goodbye and hurriedly left the military commander's dormitory.

He Cong followed behind and asked in a low voice, "City Lord, you say, how much can you believe Cao Li's words?" ”

"Just listen. He Tianyong suddenly stopped, his hands on his back.

"Since you don't believe in Cao Li, why do you want Cao Li to lead the elite team. The border city guards are all new recruits now, and they don't have any of our cronies at all. He Cong asked.

"Cao Li doesn't know this. ”

He Cong recalled this sentence, and it took a long time to understand, and when he saw that He Tianyong had already gone away, he followed again: "What about Jiang Wangchen's wanted?"

"As usual! Spend some money secretly, go to Yancheng to recruit some mercenaries, and relieve yourself for a while. ”

"Yes. ”

The sunset dissipated, only the warm hands were still caressing the ghost bones as always, and then retracted the ghost bones into the scabbard, and said indifferently: "Third brother, if you are safe, I hope that after you see the wanted list, you will not come back." ”
