Volume 2 The Land of Chaos Chapter 136 The Unexpected
Late at night, the atmosphere of silence is really quiet and cold.
But it still couldn't stop the laughter of tens of thousands of soldiers.
At the end of the hard day with a simple but distinctive meal, everyone was in a good mood, and even shouted cheerful music on the way back to the barracks.
A large number of people broke the quiet night with a lively return trip.
Along the way, Lei Luo had been quietly observing Li Bin and Ning Ning's reactions.
Li Bin seemed to be getting more and more dull, staring at the ground without saying a word, looking like a child who had made a mistake and been caught.
But Jing Ning was still expressionless and very calm.
Lei Luo began to guess Ning Ning's thoughts, empathized, and thought of all kinds of ideas that Ning might have, and at the same time, Lei Luo also made up his mind.
No matter what secrets Li Bin and Ning are hiding, no matter how these two people want to get out, as long as Zi Ling finds any evidence, according to the rules of the Land of Thunder, she will never be spared, and she will never tolerate or forgive!
Everything was according to last night's plan, whether or not something was discovered, Zi Ling would wait outside the barracks, revealing her identity to Li Bin and Jing Ning while explaining the true intentions of her group.
Even if Zi Ling didn't make any special discoveries, or didn't find anything suspicious, she could openly and honestly question these two people directly, after all, there was substantial evidence there.
Li Bin and Ning can lie and hide secrets, but the poisonous hole on that cliff is absolutely impossible to hide!
If Ziling finds something unusual, she won't be able to get out!
Thunder City Lord Jing Ning, and the Commander of the Third Legion, Li Bin, as the first guardian of this area, must be responsible for this!
Then, the reality greatly surprised Lei Luo's expectations, and a third situation appeared!
When I returned to the barracks, there was silence.
There is no Ziling, no Xia Wu, no one is here!
Lei Luo's mood instantly sank to the extreme, his eyebrows were sometimes wrinkled, sometimes stretched, and the meaning of doubt overflowed on his face, which really made the young man restless.
But Lei Luo's annoyance at the moment was only because of an inexplicable thought.
Will something happen to Ziling?
Although Zi Ling's fighting strength is strong, and she is a young and steady leader of the First Legion of the Kingdom, she is only an eighteen-year-old girl.
Regardless of origin, regardless of age, the strong should not be too confident.
Lei Luo instantly thought of the negligence in his plan.
The possible dangers were not foreseen.
After all, when Xia Wan was highly poisoned, Zi Ling didn't know what to do, and last night's detoxification could only be attributed entirely to Yan Yaling.
Lei Luo didn't know if it was because of his own negligence that he put his sister in danger!
Clearly saw the change in Lei Luo's expression, although he didn't know what he had missed, but Jing Ning knew that he was fine now.
Changing his expressionless face before, Jing Ning smiled calmly: "Your Royal Highness, it's late at night now, let's go back to the town." ”
After pausing for a moment and taking a deep breath, Ning Ning then smiled: "Of course, if Your Highness is tired, it is no problem to arrange a temporary rest shed in the barracks!"
Lei Luo, who heard the previous sentence, was only slightly stunned, but Ning Ning's latter sentence seemed to have some snickering joy and provocation.
Lei Luo glanced at Ning Ning, and an inexplicable anger suddenly rose in his heart, but he was still completely held back by the young man.
After all, the current situation is still unclear, and if you take a wrong step, you may give this Ning a chance to get out.
"Let's go back, take a deep sleep tonight, Brother Ning doesn't need to take care of us tomorrow, let's postpone our trip tomorrow." Han Lingxuan saw his best friend's annoyance, so he made a decision for Lei Luo, and answered Ning Ning's question with a chuckle.
Yan Yaling and Yan Dan also followed Lei Luo's emotions, the two girls were very disgusted with Ning Ning's current tone, and when they heard Han Lingxuan's answer, both of them agreed.
This is the most appropriate and relatively correct answer.
Han Lingxuan clearly informed his thoughts.
Two things.
We're going to rest tonight and tomorrow, and we don't care what we're going to do!
There will be an itinerary after tomorrow, and we will not go!
Yan Ning naturally heard what Han Lingxuan meant, and still maintained a kind and cordial smile.
"I see, no problem! I just don't know if I can know His Highness's itinerary after tomorrow, so that I can prepare in advance!"
Ning Ning suddenly asked another question, perhaps because he had seized the opportunity at the moment, and Ning Ning's tone was very confident and relaxed.
Very nasty!
Han Lingxuan, Yan Yaling, and Yan Dan all stared at Jian Ning with cold eyes, staring at that expression that really annoyed them.
"Ning Ning, although you are the city lord and the master of Thunder City, you want to spy on the thoughts of the members of the royal family of our kingdom, isn't that okay?"
Qi Lei snorted coldly, looked very angry, forcibly interrupted the topic, and then changed his words, saying: "Let's go! Don't you see that Your Highness is already very tired? Go back!"
As soon as the words fell, Ning Ning did not relax his offensive, first learned from Qi Lei and snorted coldly, clasped his hands in front of his chest, put on a proud appearance, looked Qi Lei up and down with a suspicious look, and said in a deep voice: "Qi Lei, you tell me first, can you make a decision for our prince? If not? What do you mean by this now? Are you a royal family? Do you want to command me?"
Several questions in a row, and an aggressive posture, made Qi Lei Qingjian burst out, and the anger that had been suppressed in his heart reached its peak in an instant.
At this moment, Lei Luo waved his hand to stop the two of them from becoming angry.
"Brother Ningning, that's it, let's go back now, I'm tired, don't talk about it. Lei Luo sighed lightly, took a few deep breaths in style, and said with a wry smile: "Let's go, let's go, go back to sleep!"
Lei Luo's words were really effective, Jing Ning first bowed slightly to Lei Luo, as if to express his apologies for the conflict with Lei Luo, and then changed back to his previous peaceful appearance, chuckling: "No problem, His Royal Highness, let's go." ”
At this time, Li Bin, who commanded the soldiers to settle down, also came over.
Although Li Bin didn't hear the conversation between these people before, looking at Ning Ning's relaxed appearance, the uneasiness in Li Bin's heart disappeared in an instant, and the dullness of his previous expression instantly turned into relaxation.
"Commander Li Bin, it's really bothering you for a day today, you don't need to send it now, I will return to Xiaolei City with His Royal Highness the Prince to rest, you also rest early, and train soldiers with peace of mind tomorrow!"
Although the meaning of the words was very clear, Jing Ning deliberately accentuated his tone a little when he said the word 'peace of mind'.
It seems that Ning Ning doesn't want Li Bin to say something superfluous.
"Since that's the case, then I won't do much to keep it, His Royal Highness the prince should rest early, Ann. ”
Li Bin first smiled at Lei Luo, and then suddenly pointed at Lei Lei, and said with a straight face: "You are not my soldier, but I want to tell you one more thing, it is your duty to protect His Highness, don't forget to keep an eye on it, be vigilant!"
The tone of staring at the two words was aggravated a lot, and Li Bin seemed to be mocking what Yan Lei had said to himself today.
Qi Lei forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, snorted coldly, and followed Lei Luo to board the caravan carriage back to Thunder City.
Along the way, Lei Luo's emotions are changing rapidly, and his mood is really complicated.
Worried about Ziling's safety.
Confused by the current situation.
Anger at this unknown change.
Disgusted with Na Ning and Li Bin.
These emotions continued to accumulate in the teenager's heart, and finally changed into exhaustion.
In addition, he didn't sleep all night last night, and on the bumpy road, Lei Luo fell asleep on Yan Yaling's shoulder.
Returning to the City Lord's Mansion of Thunder City, Lei Lei carried Lei Luo back to the lounge and settled him down.
Everyone returned to their own break rooms.
After a moment of silence, Han Lingxuan and Qi Lei made a decision, and the two of them went their separate ways to collect information.
He followed the cliff and went to the poison cave under the barracks to investigate the situation.
Han Lingxuan went to check the inn next to the treasure house in Thunder City to see if he could meet Zi Ling.
Time waits for no one, and the two set off immediately after making up their minds.
In order to retain enough physical strength, soul power, and spiritual power, Yan Lei did not use the soul domain to investigate Ning Ning's situation, but only left a memory of himself and Han Lingxuan's sleeping appearance, just in case.
Having heard the actions of Lei Luo and the three of them last night, and also roughly analyzed the direction, Qi Lei jumped out of the window without hesitation, relying on the strong strength of his eighth-order soul power, and climbed extremely fast in the direction where the poison cave was located.
Han Lingxuan had the experience of going to the inn last night, and at this time, he was also familiar with the road, relying on his first skill of spirit spirit, and turned into all kinds of equipment to assist his actions.
Claws to climb cliffs, rods to climb over walls, and even ropes, the silver-haired boy swooped quickly to the inn.
Both of them knew that there was not much time left for them, because the bright moon had already fallen from the highest sky at this moment, and maybe in a few hours, there would be the dawn of a new day!
Neither of them was prepared for this operation, nor did they predict the situation, so naturally they would not be affected by reality.
It's just calmly analyzing the current situation and gathering information.
The situation is also not optimistic.
The inn next to the treasure house is empty at the moment, not even Xia Wan, who is recuperating from poison!
The environment in each of the lounges was very messy, with many bed quilts and cotton pillows scattered on the floor, and it was obvious that the soldiers of the First Legion were in a hurry, as if something urgent had happened.
This is Han Lingxuan's analysis based on his own cognition.
In their hometown, the Legion of the Ice Country, the soldiers are very strict about their daily habits, and unless something unexpected and urgent happens, the soldiers will strictly abide by their daily routines.
Moreover, the group of people in the inn was composed of elite soldiers led by one of the first legions of the kingdom himself.
What an emergency it would be!
The messy inn made Han Lingxuan's inner sense of unease spread rapidly, but because of this, Han Lingxuan was able to analyze the situation and collect information very calmly at the moment.
After searching carefully for a while, Han Lingxuan did not find any traces of the fight, and combined with the previous preliminary analysis, he finally came to a new conclusion.
After Zi Ling explored the poison cave, she returned here, and because of an unknown emergency, she led a group of soldiers to evacuate here urgently.
Evacuate?
Or tracking?
In order to further analyze the situation and draw conclusions, it is also necessary to know the results of the poison cave.
Thinking of this, Han Lingxuan left the inn without hesitation and quickly returned to the City Lord's Mansion.
Depending on the sky, the fastest way to get back to the lounge is at dawn.
On the way back at great speed, Han Lingxuan suddenly had a premonition.
The hidden truth here must be something outside of your own cognition!
Bad thing!
