Nights in the mountains are colder than other places.
The roaring bonfire, the crackling sound mixed with the chirping of insects and birds, make people feel calm in this beautiful night.
Enjoy this beauty and peace.
After a few days of getting along, Qian Yueming seemed to trust Zhong Liyu very much.
At this time, the two of them were leaning together and falling into a deep sleep.
The beautiful face, the beating bonfire, and the stars in the sky outside the cave complement each other and form a beautiful landscape.
"Don't keep a sad face all day long, like someone owes you money." Jiang Chen said to Yan Hong in front of him while poking the bonfire with a branch.
This guy is definitely up to no good when he comes to see him.
Most likely they came to ask for help.
"What is the relationship between that person and you today?"
"who?"
"Stop pretending here."
"A killer is used to deal with the pursuers behind us. Why is Mr. Yan interested in him?" Jiang Chen looked at the sky and said with some regret, "Maybe it's not too late to chase him now. Maybe he will still be there." I like you very much."
"Killer, are you sure there is no target for him among us?"
“Why should I be told what other people think.”
Jiang Chen smiled playfully and stared at Yan Hong.
"Will Mr. Yan tell me his true thoughts?"
"You are using strong words to make sense."
"Don't let others guess that your true thoughts are just strong words. You don't look like the general's son at all."
The words just fell.
Yan Hong stood up suddenly.
He glared at Jiang Chen angrily.
"Jiang Chen, let me tell you, if I find out that you have other intentions, I will personally escort Mr. Jiang and his party back to Xia."
"Good luck."
Yan Hong shook his sleeves angrily and left.
Jiang Chen was the only one left, looking at his back and shaking his head.
Yan Hong still has a long way to go to become a qualified general.
Moreover, his personality is so similar to that of Xuanyuan Wenya. It is true that they grew up together.
Sure enough, they have the same smell.
But this is good, at least it proves that Yan Hong has no ideas and is much better than Jiang Zhi.
An old fox deserves an impulsive calf.
The emperor of Northern Xia was really good at choosing people.
"Yan Hong is such a person. I hope Mr. Jiang won't take it to heart."
Seeing that the two of them were not chatting very well, Jiang Zhi slowly came over and said with a smile.
"Young and energetic, it's understandable."
"Um?"
Jiang Zhi's smile froze and he looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.
Whenever he felt that Jiang Chen was beyond his expectations, Jiang Chen would use his face that had not been polished by time and say some old-fashioned words.
"Mr. Jiang, there are some things that I really can't see through you."
"You don't have to see through it, just be willing to cooperate with me."
"Master Jiang still won't give up."
I didn't expect that Jiang Chen is still thinking about Bei Xia's black wood. He is really a weirdo.
According to his current status in Jingguo, it shouldn't be difficult to get money and women.
Why so persistent?
"Jiang Chen, it's not good."
While the two were talking, Yang Li walked in from the outside with an ugly look on his face.
"what happened?"
Jiang Chen's first reaction was that Long Hong followed him again.
After all, who knows whether that guy Lu Yuan is reliable or not?
As much as he loved money as much as his life, running away without the money was already the biggest surprise for Jiang Chen.
"There's a group of people approaching us."
"Do you know who he is?" Jiang Zhi asked quickly.
He was less likely than anyone here to think of surprises.
"The identity of the visitor is unknown. I didn't dare to rush forward to investigate, but what is certain is that he is here for us."
"What should I do?"
"Don't worry, Master Jiang. You take them and hide first. I want to see who dares to touch my brow." Jiang Chen was really a little angry.
If it is still Long Hong this time, he will definitely leave an indelible impression on the other party.
Damn it, I can’t shake it off like brown candy.
"I'll go with you."
Seeing Jiang Chen about to leave, Zhong Liyu came to him and said firmly.
"Yang Li and I are enough, you stay here and keep an eye on them."
As he said that, he pointed at Yan Hong, who was looking this way.
Seeing that he had been discovered, the latter curled his lips and turned his head to the side.
Like a child who is caught doing bad things.
How...well, a little embarrassing.
"But... okay."
Zhong Liyu is a person who understands the general picture.
She knew very well what Jiang Chen meant. Yan Hong was always an uncertain factor, and no one was sure what he could do.
It's better to keep an eye on it.
After the two left the cave where the mission was camped, Jiang Chen turned to look at Yang Li.
"You weren't telling the truth just now. With your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to get close to the other party quietly."
Yang Li shrugged and did not deny it.
"Bandits."
"Looking at them, they have been following us since we entered the mountain."
"Bandits?" Jiang Chen frowned.
Now it's true.
He always found this somewhat strange.
The bandits appeared quietly behind them, and from Yang Li's words, we could tell that they were a group of guys with a purpose.
It can be said that he is exactly the same as Long Hong before.
This place is remote, although the official road is not far away.
But who dares to patrol the official roads at this time, even people from the imperial court, don't have many lives.
Even during the day, it would take some time for the officers and soldiers to arrive.
The best way right now is to deal with these guys before they encounter the mission.
…
"Brother, when are we going to take action? My brothers have been following us all day."
Shi Er was carrying a big knife and holding a branch in his mouth, complaining to the strong man next to him.
Originally, they were staying well in the Huayin Mountain area, but they had to drag hundreds of people to this inhospitable place.
It's still so close to the official road.
"Why are you anxious? When they fall asleep in the middle of the night, we will take the opportunity to kill them."
"But why are we here?"
After he finished asking, some other people around him also looked over.
They want to know too!
"You know nothing."
Shi Long slapped Shi Er on the head and said in a suppressed voice.
"That gentleman promised me that as long as we succeed in this matter, we will be rich and prosperous, and may even wear official clothes, then we will fly up the branches and become a phoenix."
"But I think it's pretty good how we are now, cool and unrestrained."
"Bah!" Shi Long slapped him again.
"We are always on tenterhooks. With the official clothes, we can do whatever we want without being chased by the dogs of the court."
Shi Er patted his smooth head and smiled happily.
"yes!"
"His grandma, I don't know what has happened recently. She is chased and beaten all day long in Huayin Mountain. It makes me feel aggrieved just thinking about it."
"I heard that this is a mission from Northern Xia, and there are princesses sent there for marriage."
As he spoke, Shi Er licked his lips.
"It's worth it to be able to taste the taste of a princess in this life."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sleeve arrow penetrated his throat silently.
Blood foam slowly flowed out from the corner of his mouth. Shi Er wanted to reach out and grab Shi Long in front, but as his vitality disappeared, he fell straight down.
The broadsword fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
It is particularly clear in the extremely silent woods.
"You're going to fucking die. I told you to be quiet."
Shilong cursed and turned around.
When he saw the lifeless Shi Er, his face instantly darkened. He exerted force on his feet and quickly hid behind the person next to him.
puff!
Another ball of blood flowers bloomed.
At this time, Shi Long's face had darkened to the extreme, and he knew in his heart that they had been completely exposed.
The other bandits also noticed the abnormality and looked for places to hide.
But facing Jiang Chen and Yang Li, two people with level eight assassination skills, everything was in vain.
Dark night.
But it’s their home field.
