Chapter 2: The Rival of the Last Generation

It didn't take long for Liu Ruyan to pack up and prepare to set off.

The system leaned over again: "If the host is allied with this monarch, it can now provide a full range of high-end services, which is a necessary system for you to travel." ”

Liu Ruyan glanced at the young man and curled her lips: "Hehe-"

What does it mean?

He was so anxious to scratch the wall.

Doesn't it mean that the hosts in the world are all sand sculptures that are very easy to brainwash?

Didn't you say that if you sell a cute smirk, you can hug Jin Thigh?

However, Liu Ruyan faced a certain system with a messy and desperate face in the wind, but stepped on the horse in a chic posture and patted the horse's head with his hand: "Yebai, this trip has been hard for you." ”

The young man caught up with a "whoosh", host, you treat me like this, won't your conscience hurt!

In the forest, a fast horse is gone.

Liu Ruyan was dressed in a silver rat gray lapel beard suit, and under the shirt was her special soft armor, which could camouflage the man's body.

The system returns to sleep mode and retreats to Zhihai. Since both sides have not been able to reach a consensus, they simply can't see it.

Liu Ruyan walked the post road quickly, and after a day and night journey, he finally came to the border of Han and Liao in the evening of the next day.

- Youzhou.

Recently, the winter rain has been lingering, and it is especially cold in the cold and windy evening.

In the post house, there were many post envoys who changed horses and sent letters, as well as officers and soldiers who cooked wine to keep warm.

Liu Ruyan took out a purse embroidered with willow leaves in blue and showed the general's order inside. Seeing this, the post chief hurriedly bowed down to greet him and personally sent the person upstairs.

Guest house on the second floor.

She took off the dripping hat, put it outside the door, and raised her hand to knock on the door, and a man's voice came from inside.

"Who?"

"Liu Ruyan came by order." She lowered her voice.

There was a moment of silence, no one in the room answered, the door was closed, not locked.

"And I came in." She pushed the door open.

I only heard a golden sound, and a scimitar suddenly crossed my neck.

Tsk, the temper of the knife if he doesn't agree with him has not changed at all as in his previous life.

Taking out a token from his arms, Liu Ruyan said with a smile: "The envoy is good Yaxing, and he is used to drinking the rice wine of our Han people." Although this wine is fragrant and not greasy, it does not pierce the throat, but it has enough stamina. ”

After seeing the general's order, the envoy gestured to the guards. The scimitar at the side of her neck was put down.

"You were sent by Wu Guang?" The envoy said in an unauthentic accent, "I have heard the general talk about you, so I will leave this trip to you, come, drink some hot wine to warm up." ”

"You're welcome." Liu Ruyan smiled in her eyes and saluted him, "I will have to ride a horse later, and after drinking this wine, I will go up." ”

The envoy laughed loudly: "With this kind of wine as light as clear water, can you still get drunk?" We prairie men drink a lot of wine, and we can still ride horses! ”

When Liu Ruyan heard this, she also took advantage of the situation to pat the horse: "That's, in terms of bravery, the Khitan makes me wait beyond my reach, especially the few warriors here, how heroic and majestic!" ”

The system that was huddled in the sea of knowledge happened to hear it.

Hey, the host's virtue of seeing the wind and steering the rudder is really a witty trick.

"Dare to ask the envoy, what kind of treasure is this escort?" Liu Ruyan's face did not change, and she asked casually.

The other party did not beat around the bush and told her the truth: "This treasure, you Han people call it Danfang." ”

Liu Ruyan was surprised, but it was expected.

"So what accidents did the envoys encounter along the way?" She asked.

The envoy smiled and took off the wooden box on his back: "My box is wrapped in iron chains, and the only key is in the hands of my subordinates. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the guard next to him, and his subordinate pulled out a key.

"You see, it's not foolproof." The envoy unfastened the chains and opened the wooden box.

Liu Ruyan looked up, and there was nothing in the black wooden box with gold edges.

"So, what about Danfang?"

The envoy was shocked.

He held the wooden box and looked over and over again: "Impossible, I haven't opened the box from beginning to end, how can Dan Fang be missing?" ”

His face changed a few times, and he suddenly slammed his fist on the table, and the wine jug overturned to the ground in an instant, spilling rice wine on the ground.

"Say, did you take it?" The envoy pointed to a few people in the room one by one, "It's still you!" ”

Liu Ruyan was silent, just held the wooden box in his hand and rubbed it carefully. No, I have the impression that the envoy was not stolen, what happened to the variable.

She squinted to the soles of her feet, crouched down, traced the path of the drink with her fingers on the ground, and finally, stayed in one place. She looked upwards, and it was the same chair that the envoy had sat on.

"Is the Danfang you are talking about as thin as silk cloth, but tough in texture?" She asked suddenly.

The envoy came back to his senses and nodded yes.

"This would explain why the contents of the box flew out of thin air."

Liu Ruyan turned the wooden box upside down, so that the bottom of the box was facing the candlelight.

A golden candle shines through the bottom of the box.

She muttered in a low voice: "There is a gap at the bottom of the box, it seems that someone has tampered with it." ”

Liu Ruyan motioned for everyone to sit back in place and demonstrate the theft process: "The other party's martial arts are quite high, using a long needle with a barb at the top, from bottom to top, chisel through the bottom of the box, and steal the Danfang. is so bold and careful, he deserves to be a good thief. ”

"You guys are still stunned, don't chase it yet!" The envoy shouted in Khitan.

The guards hurried out.

"I'll check it out too." She dropped the sentence and followed.

In the lobby of the post house, several officers and soldiers were cooking and drinking, chatting about the latest new events.

Liu Ruyan stood in a corner and looked overhead. The top corresponds to the guest house of the envoy, from the ground to the top, there are enough two people to be high, not to mention, there are many officers and soldiers below.

How did he stick a long needle into a wooden plank in public?

Could it be that it will not be able to become invisible?

There was no trace left in the hall, and if she had been there at the time, with her reconnaissance experience, she might have been able to catch some clues.

"System-kun?"

"In!" The young man flashed out of thin air and smiled flatteringly at her, "Why did you suddenly think of Benjun, did you change your mind temporarily?" ”

Liu Ruyan sighed: "If you want me to form an alliance, you have to see what you are capable of." ”

"I know that the host is greedy for life and afraid of death, oh no, I want to say, it's better to die than to live, right?"

"...... "What the hell."

Liu Ruyan rubbed the corners of her forehead, this young man whose identity was a mystery was not only strange in his words, but also unreliable.

He simply asked, "Do you know anything about the things in the lobby?" ”

As she spoke, her fingers clenched weakly, like a painting scroll.

"Host, it's not a painting, it's a recording." The young man corrected, his face quite proud.

"The system uses a storyboard approach and comes with three high-definition cameras. A follow-up host that captures the movements of the characters with clarity and no blind spots. A recorded plot and live audio are recorded to present a cinematic texture. In addition, the drone has a wide field of vision and reproduces the real scene. ”

"In that case, I'd like to see what I just recorded." She pointed to the lobby, "That's where you came in." ”

The young man was a little surprised, could it be that she wanted to accept the results?

The boy raised his hand, and three white and shiny screens appeared in the air, which were captured by the three cameras.

"The host wants to see this?" He asked, looking back.

Seeing this scene, Liu Ruyan rarely showed a trace of stunnedness, she stretched out her hand and reached out to the screen, and the picture was enlarged under her fingers.

"Waitβ€”" she pointed somewhere in the frame, "and this is it." ”

The footage is paused, then replayed.

In order to recreate the scene at that time, the teenager set the screen to live mode.

Liu Ruyan only felt light, and suddenly was placed in the picture, the aroma of wine wafting in the air, and the hustle and bustle of the lobby were all so real that they could be touched.

At this time, Liu Ruyan was only staring at one place.

Crown.

There seemed to be a thick ink there, blending in with the dull planks, and it would be difficult to detect it for a moment if you didn't look closely.

The thick ink slid slowly above his head, and suddenly, the shape of a hand stretched out, like a ghost in the eerie atmosphere.

She was startled.

Such a trick reminded her of her long-cherished enemy in the previous life, Shen Yanchu.
