"No, no, no, Miss Qiao must accept this gift!" Mo Changhong knelt on one knee and bowed his head and said.

"Why is that?" Mo Changhong's reaction made Qiao Xiya confused.

"Mo Changhong knelt down and begged Miss Qiao to save the soldiers at the border!" Mo Changhong has confirmed that Qiao Xiya is the master mentioned by his father.

"Your Highness, get up, get up." Qiao Xiya hurriedly helped Mo Changhong up, with a straight look on her face, and said solemnly, "I will do my best to share the worries of His Highness."

Mo Changhong got up, poured a cup of tea for Qiao Xiya, hesitated, and finally spoke: "Miss Qiao just asked what kind of strange insect it is, in fact, I haven't seen it with my own eyes until now." Mo Changhong's gaze was gloomy and tinged with fear. He paused and continued, "It was almost two months ago, and I noticed that there were soldiers in the barracks who died inexplicably, at first one or two, then more and more, and sometimes in the middle of the night, suddenly a soldier would burst into screams and then fall to the ground and die. At first, we all thought that it was the female cadres of the neighboring countries who came to provoke, so we sent people to visit the generals of the neighboring countries guarding the border, but the other party flatly denied it, and did not admit that there were female cadres crossing the border and provoking wars. For a while, the people in the barracks were panicked, and I had no choice but to move out of the original camp with the soldiers and choose a new place to set up camp. But the strange death has not stopped." Speaking of this, Mo Changhong reached out and wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Then the strange insect you just talked about......" Qiao Xiya frowned. Speaking of insects, Qiao Xiya remembered the blood-weeping yin and yang skull moth.

"It's thanks to one of my lieutenants." Mo Changhong sighed, "He's a quick knife player, and he has a good knife hand. That day when we were drinking and talking in the tent, he suddenly drew his knife and slashed in front of him, and when we were surprised, he squinted his eyes and carefully picked up half a worm from the low table in front of him. It was the front half of the insect, and it could be seen that it was wearing a pitch-black armor with fine fluff on it, as if it was about to suck in all the light around it, which made people feel inexplicably panicked. When he reached out, the edge of the armor was as sharp as a knife, and his head was covered with a pair of teeth like pincers, and there were jagged bulges on the teeth. A pair of whiskers like steel whips are still shaking."

"Your Highness, can you draw the appearance of that strange insect on paper?" Based on Mo Changhong's description alone, it was difficult for Qiao Xiya to confirm the appearance of the insect, but it was basically certain that it was some kind of beetle.

"Little two! Bring pen and paper!" Mo Changhong shouted.

"Da Da Da ......" The words landed, and Qiao Xiya heard footsteps on the stairs.

"Master, the pen and paper you want." The young man smiled and handed the pen and paper in front of Mo Changhong, "Master, the food is ready, do you want to serve it now, or wait a little longer?"

"Bring it up." Mo Changhong picked up the pen and said in a low voice, just say, Mo Changhong recalled carefully, brushed a few strokes, and a strange creature that looked like an insect but not a worm appeared on the paper.

Two steel whip-like whiskers, a pair of large round eyes, and beneath the big eyes, a jagged mouth like a crab claw was bigger than the eyes. And behind the eyes, there is the black armor.

Mo Haoning took the painting and looked at it, and put it in front of Qiao Xiya, but his eyes were staring at Mo Changhong: "Second brother, this is a strange-looking insect, with your courage, you shouldn't have sent a pond to report back for help, and even moved out of the original camp. What else are you hiding?"

As Mo Haoning's words landed, Mo Changhong was visibly shaken, and his eyes were quickly filled with fear.

"It's coming!" The loud greeting of the young man in the restaurant broke the strange atmosphere, and with the sound of footsteps, plates of steaming dishes were all placed on the table.

Mo Changhong looked at the busy young man next to him, his eyes calm.

"A few masters, you use it slowly." The young man bowed and quickly left with the rest of the fellows.

Looking at the back of the young man leaving, Mo Changhong took a deep breath and drank the slightly hot tea in the teacup in one gulp, then lowered his voice and said, "I do have something to hide, but I'm afraid that if you don't see it with your own eyes, you won't believe it." Eat first

Eat, and I'll take you to see it myself."

I don't know if it was because of the bumpy road and cold and hungry, or because they were in a hurry to go to the barracks to see the situation, in short, this meal was eaten very quickly.

"Let's go, let's go to the barracks." Seeing that everyone had eaten, Mo Changhong wiped his mouth and stood up.

～～

On the southwest border, the wind was bitterly cold, and dozens of tents rattled in the cold wind.

Yuping looked left and right, put his hand in his mouth and whistled, and after a while, the two of them rowed a small boat, broke through a large swamp in front of everyone that whitewashed the tall grass into grass, and came towards Qiao Xiya and the others.

"Your Highness, the barracks are surrounded by swamps?" Qiao Xiya didn't expect that the grass in front of her was actually a swamp, she looked around and couldn't help asking.

"Yes." Mo Changhong nodded helplessly, "This is the place we only found more than ten days ago, and only here seems to be safe."

"General, Lord! Please get on board." The rowing soldier stood at the bow of the boat and arched his hand.

The boat is very wide, and the oars of the boat are also extremely wide planks.

"You can only get two people on each boat." Mo Changhong glanced at the people who were about to board the boat, "After getting on the boat, remember not to speak, don't look behind you. Seventh, you can take Miss Qiao on the boat first."

Mo Haoning nodded and helped Qiao Xiya onto the boat. The soldier who supported the boat arched his hand to Mo Changhong, turned around and rowed the boat with a thick plank and left.

Standing on the boat, there was an endless stream of green tall grass in front of her eyes, and just when Qiao Xiya felt relaxed, a creepy rustling sound came from the grass into Qiao Xiya's ears. Qiao Xiya's nerves tensed instantly, and a pair of apricot eyes vigilantly scanned the almost impermeable tall grass around her, and a trace of fear spread from the bottom of her heart.

The unsettling rustling sound in my ears became clearer and clearer, as if it was pressed against my back. What could be said, Qiao Xiya couldn't hear it clearly anyway. The fear in my heart became more and more intense, and even a chill rose behind my back. She struggled to control her trembling body and twisted her head slightly, trying to see who was whispering behind her. Unexpectedly, before she turned her head, a pair of warm hands held her head, and in an instant, Qiao Xiya's mind was instantly clear, and she remembered Mo Changhong's advice before getting on the boat, don't speak, don't look back.
