"Whew...... Whew......"

The wide street was empty, the north wind city was silent at night, the dim light pulled the shadow of the rose narrow, her breath was very short, sweat slipped into the corners of her eyes, the sour and stinging feeling made her have to squint, the long and vigorous running almost exhausted her physical strength, but she still had no intention of stopping.

Can't find ......

Still can't find ......

Heading all the way east?

She had already done what Xiao Shu said, and also asked the people and guards along the road, and the answers she could get were surprisingly consistent, they had never seen Mo Qiunian, thinking about it, Lingwan would never allow students to go out at this time.

Could it be that he had already left the North Wind City by the Spirit Guide Station?

This is also impossible, although the spirit guide car runs twenty-four hours a day, but recently the North Wind City is in a sensitive period, if Mo Qiunian wants to leave, he will definitely be checked for identity, and in the North Wind City, he only has one legal identity, that is, Ling Wan's student, he may be released during the day, but this time is absolutely impossible, if he really goes to the station, then not only will it be impossible to leave smoothly, but will be taken back to Ling Wan by the guards.

"Beautiful lady, what is it that makes you so anxious, let me know, and perhaps I can help you with something. ”

Several guards stopped in front of Rose, they were all tall, wearing heavy armor and helmets that covered the entire face, and the shadows were like an impassable high wall, the guards led by him put the steel sword in his hand back into the sheath, he walked up to Rose, took off the helmet, blonde hair and blue eyes, although there was a very disobedient scar on his handsome face, but it made him even more attractive.

Iron Guard?

Rose was shocked, although she didn't have a noble title, her father was also an Imperial Knight, so she could recognize the leaf coat of arms carved on the armor of these guards, but this was also the strangest thing about her, even if the City of North Wind was sensitive recently, it wouldn't let the Iron Guards patrol in the middle of the night, right?

The Iron Guards only obey the orders of the person who holds the leaf shield badge, and now the holder of the leaf shield is Ye Yue, how can he command the Iron Guard to patrol the streets, this obviously doesn't make sense, Rose quickly calmed down, she smiled quietly, "It's not a big deal, one of my students is lost, this little thing doesn't dare to bother the Iron Guard." ”

"James, it's okay to call me James, your student? So you're Lingwan's teacher, strange, if I'm not mistaken, Lingwan won't allow students to go out at this time, how can your students avoid patrolling, leave Lingwan, and then become lost in your mouth? Hmm...... I'm afraid the word lost is not the right word, he must have escaped, right?"

James's smile was in obvious contrast with his sharp and mean words, Rose was blocked for a while and couldn't speak, she wanted to refute, but she didn't know how to explain, it was obviously inappropriate to tell the truth, and she was afraid of being seen if she lied, so she became darker and darker.

"Nothing to say, then it seems that I guessed correctly, your clothes and the ring on your hand prove that you are indeed Lingwan's teacher, so the problem is your student, why did he run away?" James smiled meaningfully, "As far as I know, Lingwan is very strict with students, and students are expelled from school every month, it stands to reason that if he is just to leave Lingwan, there is no need to be so troublesome, just make a mistake and be expelled, beautiful lady, lying is not a good habit." ”

"I said you don't care, if you like to guess so much, just guess slowly, I don't have time to accompany you. ”

Rose was gradually irritated by what he said, she was really not in the mood to play a guessing game with this James, but when she was about to leave, two guards raised their spears in front of her, and at the same time, several other soldiers tacitly blocked Rose's back path, as if they had no intention of letting her leave at all.

"What the hell are you going to do? I warn you James, even if you are the Iron Guard, you have no right to stop me, get out of the way!"

Rose's eyes gradually became cold, if she had been in normal times, she might not be so tough, but not now, worry has long since become anxiety and uneasiness, she can't stop herself and do nothing, let alone have time to guess riddles with these people.

"Huh...... No wonder some people always say that Ling Wan thinks very highly of herself and doesn't pay attention to anyone, it seems that this is true, this lady, I must remind you that the Iron Guard is directly under His Majesty, our actions and choices are all ordered by His Majesty, I have no right, does Your Majesty have no right? As long as you nod your head, I will let you go immediately, how about it?"

James looked at Rose with a smile, the intention of his words couldn't be more obvious, if Rose dared to nod, then there were only two results, first, Lingwan broke directly with the royal family, and second, Rose was expelled by Lingwan, after severing the relationship and losing Lingwan's identity as a teacher, according to her remarks tonight, she would either be imprisoned to death or directly executed.

"You ......"

Rose bit her lip and her face was pale, and the light red spiritual power gathered around her like a firefly, and suddenly a strand of long hair hung down, covering her eyes, Rose exhaled deeply, and her clenched hand gradually loosened, she was not stupid, James's obvious agitation can still be seen that in the City of the North Wind, the Iron Guards represent the royal power, even if you are a duke, if you dare to do something to the Iron Guards, it is a blatant provocation to the royal power.

Rose is not stupid enough to think that Ye Yue will let herself go, this student she has never met has a cold-blooded and cruel difference from his peers, he can deter the princes, stabilize the stormy Northern Ye Kingdom, unite the six countries, and attack Nanyu on the grounds of revenge, and the most difficult thing for Rose to accept is that Ye Yue actually personally ordered the arrest of Xiao Shu who had saved him, Xiao Shu is still like this, let alone her nominal teacher.

Moreover, the assessment of the Iron Guards is extremely harsh, and the training is called inhuman torture, whether it is will or physical fitness, the spiritual martial realm or the experience of the enemy, they are all first-class level, if they are facing the enemy head-on, they are enough to be comparable to twice the number of ordinary armies, and it is precisely because of this that they can become the sword in the hands of the king, it is impossible for the Rose of the Great Spirit Warrior realm to confront these Iron Guards in front of her, not to mention that the distance is so close, if she really wants to make a move, she will become a corpse in the next second.

"I'm really sorry, if I can, in fact, I don't want to meet you on this occasion, it's a pity, it's not that I mean to embarrass you, but tonight, no one can leave the noble district, if your student is really in this civilian area, there is nothing to worry about, I promise you, if I see him, I will definitely bring him back to Lingwan safely, besides, this is an extraordinary time, Your Majesty has issued a curfew, it stands to reason that I have the right to arrest you, but you are a first-time offender, and there is a reason, so I will not pursue it, so ...... Please come back. ”

With his trademark smile on his face, James waved at the Iron Guards surrounding Rose, who immediately lowered their spears and stood behind James in an orderly manner, who shrugged helplessly and put on an expression that I couldn't help it.

Why didn't Xiao Shu come yet?

No, you can't just go back, the Iron Guards are all dispatched, something must have happened, if you are really in this place in the autumn year, in case you encounter any danger......

“...... I can leave, but you have to tell me, what's going on in this place, just tell me, and I'll leave at once. Rose asked, still unrelenting.

James turned to look at the civilian area to the east, he smiled and said, "Catch a fish that doesn't know whether it's dead or alive, and clean up the dirt in the corner of the North Wind City by the way, it's not a big deal to close the net tonight." ”

"Fish, what do you mean?"

Rose couldn't help frowning when she heard this, catching fish she could still understand as catching criminals, but if it was just a simple arrest of criminals, there should be no need to dispatch the Iron Guard, ordinary soldiers were enough, as for the latter sentence to clean up North Wind City, she couldn't understand it.

"I'm sorry, I can only say so much, and I ask for your understanding, haha, look at my head, I haven't asked you what to call it after talking for so long. ”

James deliberately restrained his battle-hardened aura, after all, judging from his appearance alone, Rose is much more beautiful than those noble ladies with heavy makeup, he still has a good impression of Rose, daily training and tasks are already heavy and hard, and the crusade against Nanyu is imminent, the Iron Guards may not be able to stay in North Wind City, if Ye Yue follows Ye Bei and personally leads the army to the battle, then they must also follow.

Nanyu Country is not a small country, it can be listed as one of the three major empires, not only because of the large area, although it is a joint attack of six countries, but he knows that this battle is very difficult, and he really wants to go to the battlefield, no matter how strong your personal strength is, it is only one in a million, and the idea of personal heroism to influence the battle situation will never appear in his mind, and he may die on the battlefield at any time.

Scared?

Ask yourself, since joining the Iron Guard, James has never been afraid, if the Iron Guard is the sword in the hands of the emperor, then they are the sword soul of this sword, fearless, cruel and cold-blooded, only this sword can be invincible.

But he is not afraid to return, but he is unwilling, in this life to be able to join the Iron Guard, becoming a centurion is the glory he is proud of, he has been on the battlefield, killed nearly a thousand enemies, and the hideous scars on his body are his truest portrayal, but this glory is no one to share, his parents have long since died, although he said that he has nothing to worry about, but he always feels that there is something missing in life.

What's missing?

Is it a woman?

No, with his identity, it is common for women to throw hugs, as many as they want, after all, the identity of the centurion of the Iron Guard belongs to the aristocratic class, if he is lucky, he is still alive at the age of forty, he can logically use his age as a reason to apply for withdrawal from the Iron Guard, at that time, the fief may not necessarily have, but it is definitely no problem to mix a noble title, money and power will not be less, and life is much stronger than some small nobles.

What he really longs for is someone with whom he can spend the rest of his life, who can share his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and who will still be by his side when he is dying of old age and no longer has the strength to swing his sword, and who is willing to listen to his life.
