Chapter XIX. Reinforcements
Qi Rusong's face turned pale with fright, "My lord... I..."
"Look at you." Marven smiled, "Her name is Su Yu, right?" ”
It turned out that Marven thought that I, like his nephew, was in love with a woman I shouldn't love! "You're talking about her... Yes, it is. ”
"Humph! Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass. It is not uncommon for young people to be fascinated when they see a girl they love. Marven said, "Tell me, what do you like about her?" Don't tell me you're just lustful for her beauty. ”
"Brave, empathetic, and thoughtful."
"What a Qi Rusong, you really look like your father." Marven smiled. "But do you know that she has a special background?"
"I don't know, but she's not a crossing demon, nor is she a demon clan in the mouth of Old Ghost Wei."
"She has the aura of a demon spirit, and Elder Xu and Old Ghost Wei both wrote to me that she is a demon girl." Marven frowned. "You want me to believe you, you need to tell me where the demon in her comes from?"
"Obtained after killing Old Ghost Wei." Qi Rusong replied truthfully.
"You killed him?" Marven didn't seem to mean to blame, just a little surprised. The [Second-Order Sword Envoy] was actually able to defeat the [Fourth-Order Great Sword Master]: "I originally planned to punish him after this demon extermination. ”
"Master Marven, do you know that Old Wei is ghosting..."
"Possessed by demons." Marven said, "I can't see this, how can I be the deputy master of this demon hunting sect!" ”
"It's not possessed by demons!" Qi Rusong reminded him in a calm tone. "He colluded with the demon clan and sacrificed babies in exchange for demon power. He also raises demon beasts, and the previous corpse demon is his masterpiece. And... One more thing!!"
"Go on."
"During the battle with Old Ghost Wei, there was a demon clan that absorbed the divine wisdom of the disciples of the Demon Hunting Sect. I had no choice but to kill him. ”
"Ingesting sanity? Do I already have a [Soul Demon] Crossing Seal in the South? Marven's eyes were closed. After a moment, he opened his eyes suddenly: "No, it's not. If there is a Soul Demon, how can you escape from it? ”
"That's what bothered me for a long time." Qi Rusong said.
Marven frowned, this time in the ghost forest, there was too much darkness, which made him feel exhausted. "What about Xu Zhenqing? What is he doing? ”
"Elder Xu was killed by Zhao Zhen's sneak attack."
Marven shook his head after hearing this, "This Xu Zhenqing!" On weekdays, I persuaded him many times to stop following this group of scum, but he just didn't listen. That's it, that's it, it's his own fault. ”
He paused and continued, "You go down and rest first, there will be a big battle next." ”
"Obey the order, the disciple retires."
"Wait, go out and tell the stone snake and the girl to come to me, I have something to talk to them about." Marven looked at him meaningfully for a long time, "If you have any secrets in the future, you need to tell me as soon as possible, don't always think about hiding them..."
"Yes..."Qi Rusong broke out in a cold sweat, what else did Master know!!
Outside, one of the guards looked at him and said, "Rusong, you really can." We did what we wanted to do but didn't dare to do! ”
Qi Rusong was stunned for a moment, but after seeing the mad wolf dancing with other demon hunting sect disciples talking about his deeds in the Wei Old Ghost Fortress, he suddenly understood.
Presumably, in a few days, the entire Demon Hunting Gate will spread.
"I hope you don't pay attention to Su Yu."
The wind was getting stronger, and it seemed colder in the camp than before.
When the news was conveyed to Su Yu, the girl's eyes looked a little flustered.
She is not afraid of demon beasts, she is not afraid of Old Ghost Wei, but the imminent face of Marven makes her afraid.
"Lord Marven, will you drive me away?" She said to herself.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally chose to be silent.
For most of the next afternoon, it was like a dream. He didn't go anywhere, he didn't do anything, and he wasn't distracted by anyone talking to him.
Most of his heart was on the girl, and a small half was on the broken mouth of the stone snake...
Marven is crossing, this Qi Tai told him the secret. The traverser should not be embarrassed by the traverser...
In the evening of the same day, Shi Snake and Su Yu walked out of Marven's tent.
After seeing the expressions of the two, Qi Rusong's hanging heart was slightly relaxed.
According to Marven's order, the mad wolf arranged Su Yu in the camp next door to Qi Rusong. The stone snake and the wild wolf chose to join him in a secluded corner away from the crowd.
After coming back, the stone snake has always maintained his "depth", and when he can't say anything, he chooses to shut up.
This is also the method that Su Yu taught him.
The more you say, the more you get wrong.
After nightfall, the wolf was summoned by Marven again.
When the wild wolf walked away, the stone snake immediately said, "This deacon of the Demon Hunting Sect has great potential to become an elder. ”
Qi Rusong grinned. "What did Lord Marven ask you?"
"There aren't many real problems, most of them are trivial." The stone snake replied to him, "But in my experience, if this guy is on Earth, the cliff is suitable to be a psychologist. No, FBI interrogators. ”
"What do you mean?"
It's that the questions he asks seem to be casual, just like chatting about family life, but they are all very purposeful. If you don't pay attention, you will be tricked by him. And I found this person to be very observant and read my body language.
Oh, I don't even think. It is very likely that this old man Marven already knows the identity of my traverser. ”
Qi Rusong's brows furrowed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Hey, don't think about it so much, didn't he expose me." Shi Snake smiled, "After all, he is your master." A teacher for one day, a father for life. ”
"Come on, let's practice again!" Qi Rusong pulled the stone snake up.
"Damn, do you need to forget to sleep and eat so much?"
"Don't talk nonsense, look at the trick!" As he spoke, he punched the stone snake in the face.
"Your sister, you don't hit people in the face, Lao Tzu eats with this face."
~~~~Dividing line~~~~
A long call came from the dark night. Qi Rusong propped himself up and subconsciously held the demon sword dragon light. All around, the whole camp was boiling over it. Wake up the horn of the sleeper, he thought.
This long, deep sound stays at the edge of the hearing. The night watchmen stood motionless, turning their heads to the west, breathing in a fog. When the trumpet receded, even the wind stopped howling.
People rolled up blankets, picked up spears and swords, and silently shifted positions and listened. Qi Rusong was already dressed neatly, but the stone snake was sleeping like a dead pig as always.
A horse neighed, and was immediately pacified. In an instant, it seemed that the entire forest held its breath. The brothers of the Demon Hunter Gate waited for the second trumpet, but secretly prayed not to hear the answer to the fearful coming.
Su Yu walked up to him, leaned lightly on his arm, and snuggled up to each other. In the past few days since they returned, the sound of the horn at night has made their spirits highly tense.
The unbearable silence lasted for a long time, and the people finally understood that there would be no second sound, so they smiled shyly at each other, intending to deny the previous tension.
A moment later, the wolf rode on a white horse.
"Lord Marven called you over." The mad wolf said, "Don't be nervous, it's the return of the brothers." ”
Qi Rusong called Su Yu to go back and rest, and then went with the wolf.
There was movement in the tent of the deputy door master, and sure enough, Marven opened the tent door after a while.
"A sound?"
"That's right!" Qi Rusong replied to him.
Marvin moved towards the fire. "Someone sent by your brother must have arrived." He didn't look very happy. "If the arrangement continues, I will immediately meet this strong man sent by the palace."
According to the news of the wild wolf, the movements of the demon clan have long been determined. The Demon Hunter Gate was divided into two factions, one of which suggested withdrawing from the Ghost Shadow Forest and allowing the King of the South to gather an army to make plans.
The other faction suggested that an attack be launched immediately, the responsibility of the Demon Hunting Gate is to have a big battle as soon as the Demon Clan has been discovered.
They argued for a long time, but they did not reach any agreement. Marven insisted on refusing to retreat, nor did he want to embark on the journey rashly, and rashly seek battle. In the end, everyone only agreed to wait a little longer to see if the army of Lingnan City could appear, and then to discuss.
Now that they have come, it means that the time has come to decide. No matter what others think, at least Qi Rusong is very pleased.
The serpent was woken up, and when he dared to come, he was sitting by the campfire, complaining about why he had to blow the trumpet in the middle of the night.
At the camp gate, guards are pulling out stakes from the half-frozen ground to clear the passage.
Reinforcements from Lingnan City slowly appeared.
Qi Rusong was surprised to find that the number of this team was pitiful, and most of them did not look like veterans who had been through a hundred battles. The armor they wore was also not ornate, with steel or bronze reflections, and snow falling on their black beards, making them look even more emaciated.
As they got closer, he saw more clearly that there were many wounded in the crowd. It looks like they're in trouble on the road.
"This is your Qi family's elite troops?" Stone Snake said, "Why do you look so like a remnant of a defeated army." ”
No one can answer his question.
Although they had never met each other, he recognized the general of this unit at first sight: Feng Gaoqi. [Early Stage of the Fifth Order Sword King] is a strong man. This tall general is a legend of Lingnan City, he moves quickly, he is as tall and straight as a spear, his limbs are long, and his expression is solemn.
His appearance was very different from that of his men. The face is clean, and the nose is missing half, and it is said that it was cut off during the battle with a certain demon clan. But the demon clan was bitten into pieces by him with his teeth.
From that day on, the people of the southern realm called him the [Demon Beast Sword King].
"Lord Feng, welcome to come." Qi Rusong greeted him. "Deputy Master Marven would like to see you immediately, please let me show you the way to his tent."
Feng Gaoqi turned over and dismounted, "My people are hungry, and our horses need to be taken care of." ”
"It's all ready."
The Demon Beast Sword King handed the mount to his men, "You are the little prince, you really have the shadow of your father." ”
"Have you seen him lately?" Qi Rusong found that he had to speed up his march in order to keep up with Feng Gaoqi's stride.
"I know what you're trying to ask." Feng Gaoqi told him, "I can only say that I hope to eliminate this group of demon clans as soon as possible." ”
This remark made Qi Rusong even more worried.
Walking to the tent, the chef had prepared the heated roasted hare and boiled a bunch of eggs in a pot resting on the campfire. Marven was sitting on the folding chair. "You're finally here."
