Chapter Twenty-Four: The Silent Forest
Stumbling out of the pass, the ninjas bluffed after each other, and retreated to the strange gaze of the four. For the sake of safety www.biquge.info everyone still avoided the dense forest on the side of the road, and found a small open space to sit and breathe.
Except for Xuan Ming who was unscathed, the other three all hung up their colors more or less. Ning Mei admired from the bottom of his heart: "Team, no wonder you can rise to the third level at a young age, and you can still not be injured in this situation of being chased and besieged, admire, admire." ”
Is it really because of the problem of skill? Xuan Ming leaned back against the trunk of the tree, looked at the black clouds in the sky through the gaps between the leaves, his thoughts fluttered, and he did not answer.
After contemplating his eyebrows, he recalled all kinds of things, and found that there were many signs of staying in the face of his patience, what to do?
Tapping his forehead to remind himself that he didn't have to think about this strange situation, Xuan Ming put his mind back in front of him.
At this time, the dense forest they were in was quiet, the insects were silent, and the birds were silent, which was not like a good place.
The others were apparently aware of it, and they began to look around deliberately. It's just that in summer the vegetation is dense and shrubs, and what can you see?
"The Lanyan Woman you just mentioned, does she live in Shaozhou City?" Xuan Ming turned his head to Ning Mei and asked.
"It's not. ”
"No, they should have been passing by somewhere else. And not from Shaozhou. ”
After staying in the forest for a while, the official road in the distance was still silent, just like the dense forest in which he was located.
Ning Mei closed his eyes and listened, and said: "I feel strange on the road, I remember that Shaozhou is the only way for Nanyue County to connect the Central Plains by land, right? There is not a single pedestrian. ”
"That's true, let's go to the official road and take a closer look, and be careful. Xuan Ming stood up first and replied.
Breaking free from the various lingering thoughts of the bushes, one in and one out, Xuan Ming didn't care about the scratches on his robe, and vigilantly glanced at the line of heaven where the outline could still be seen. Squatted down and began to observe the car marks on the road.
Seeing that Ning Mei and Hengxin began to be vigilant, Leng Xing also half-squatted on the ground, and soon, he Xian Xuanming came to his opinion: "Look at this, this road has not been passed by pedestrians for a while. ”
Xuan Ming affirmed his judgment and said, "The group of colleagues who set off before us don't know where they are, whether they are faster or slower than us. ”
Leng Xing snorted and said with a smile: "Just that group of pretentious people who bully the soft and fear the hard, don't count on it, Team." The description of this mission seems simple and straightforward, but in fact, it is obscure everywhere, the number of people in the vanguard team, where it is, and how to respond, all of which are not explained. According to what I know about them, in the face of this kind of mission, which is actually very dangerous, they will only go out of Fengcheng to find a good place to stay, and wait for the large army to set off again. ”
"Oh?" This was something Xuan Ming didn't expect, he always thought that there would be no such thing as cheating and tricking in the Wuhou Mansion.
Leng Xing has always been proud of his years of experience in the rivers and lakes, and since he has the fate to open the conversation, he has said two more words. I heard him again: "The main positions in the Wuhou Mansion are basically good men, but in the part-time jobs, the quality is really uneven. The most people who joined were the so-called big factions who came to gild, and after coming in for a while, they found it difficult to upgrade, either they quit or they were fighting, just like those idlers on the street. ”
"I see that you don't even know much about this, and I don't think it's normal to come to this guest status, right? It's okay, it's still the previous words, just rush at you to avoid the two arrows of Feng Nie Shuangjie unscathed, so why don't you listen to you. ”
"Thank you. ”
Xuan Ming arched his hand at him, indicating that he had accepted his affection. Breaking the branches and leaves of a white cauliflower from the side of the road, Xuan Ming asked again while paddling on the ground: "Ah Xing, I am stupid, I am not afraid of heaven and earth, I am not afraid to do the task when I get it, you are an understanding person, why are you still following me?"
At this time, Ning Mei looked around and interjected: "Brother Leng Xing is the person who has completed the most tasks and has the highest overall evaluation of the tasks among our Fengcheng quasi-tour marquis. He will be the first guest in our Fengcheng to become a branch guest, and the first ordinary Jianghu guest to officially join Youhou Hall. ”
There is no lack of admiration and respect for Leng Xing in his words, looking at the "uncle" in front of him who feels shy because he heard others comment on him. Xuan Ming knew that the reason why the two of them also chose to follow him on this mission was not so much because of that small exchange, but more on Leng Xing's choice.
Thank you for saying it once, and if you can work with the three of them to find the Wuhou Pioneer Team who came to Shaozhou first, and deliver the task well afterwards, you can answer it.
On the ground, he roughly sketched the map of Shaozhou City that he knew, and Xuan Ming beckoned Leng Xing to come forward.
The city of Shaozhou is crisscrossed by rivers and hills. After entering the first line of heaven, the next checkpoint in front of them was the Nanling River, a tributary of the north water in Fengcheng.
"Walking along the official road, we will reach the first village in Shaozhou City, and we can cross the river at Lingjia at the edge of the village. Leng Xing circled in front of the horizontal line drawn by Xuan Ming, and said.
"It's just ・・・・・・," he hesitated.
"Ah Xing, just what?"
"It's just that I don't understand what the Dongying people want to do, and they can leave us behind just now. ”
Ning Mei glanced at the wound on his arm that had been consolidated, and agreed: "Just now I thought that I was hanging the lottery very seriously, but it was all skin trauma. I don't want to admit it, but this group of Dongei ninjas obviously kept their hands. ”
Xuan Ming wiped the scratches on the ground, his confidence in the Wuhou Mansion made him not have the same doubts as them, he smiled: "That phantom soul array is aimed at our later Wuhou army, unfortunately I asked someone before leaving, and the leader of the team is my Fa Xiao Zhou Ming." I wasn't really worried about having him, and if it were someone else, I would probably desperately rush back to make a gap to report the situation. ”
"As for why the Toei ninjas kept their hands on us, I don't know. Perhaps he knew that we would not be able to get out after we came in, so as to avoid our dying counterattack and cause them to suffer, so he was passive and slack. I want to see if the current Shaozhou City has really become the Longtan Tiger's Den, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, I will break through!"
"Set off, the target is the bank of the Nanling River, Lingjia Village. ”
A glimmer of sky, outside the clifftop tent.
The gray-and-white ninja leader held a goggle in his hand and watched the four of Xuan Ming go away along the official road.
A ninja who was also gray climbed up: "Lord, that Shenzhou fat man has brought someone over again." ”
"At first sight, to be polite, after all, it was a character sent by the employer. Remember not being in the pavilion and calling me an adult. ”
"Yes. ”
