So, our Saint of Taiping met with tragedy. Sun Quan was like a woman shopping, shopping here and there, looking here and there, touching here and there, and making comments from time to time. Zhang Ning, the woman in yellow, followed behind, anxious. Yeah, just like a man who goes shopping with a woman, you say, you obviously have a goal, you have a destination, you just go and buy it, why are you wasting your time here?
At first, Zhang Ning was still wondering whether Sun Quan had any clues that she didn't know about, and whether these inconspicuous places might also hide shocking secrets. Therefore, she would take a closer look at every place Sun Quan stopped. But gradually, Zhang Ning completely understood. There was no secret here. Sun Quan was simply interested in these broken stones, broken pits, and broken wood! What’s so interesting about these broken rocks, broken pits, and broken wood? Is it because geniuses have different preferences? Or is it that Sun Quan, who is known as a genius, is actually just a little kid playing in the mud?
For a moment, Zhang Ning was anxious and angry. She felt that Sun Quan was deliberately entertaining her, deliberately taking detours and not going to key areas.
"Are you done yet?" Zhang Ning finally couldn't help but burst out.
"Senior Sister Ning, what's going on?" Sun Quan put on a confused expression.
"What are you doing here? I'm not here to play with you!" Zhang Ning said directly.
Sun Quan's eyes widened, he pointed at the huge stone in front of him and said in disbelief,
"This is an extremely precious monument, doesn't Senior Sister Ning know?"
"So what?" Zhang Ning narrowed his eyes.
"We can study the living habits of ancient people from it." Sun Quan rambled on.
"So what?" Zhang Ning interrupted immediately.
Sun Quan: "We can study history."
Zhang Ning: "So what?"
Sun Quan: "We can judge the present with the past."
Zhang Ning: "So what?"
"..." Sun Quan discovered that, indeed, it is completely useless to reason with women, no matter what kind of woman they are! Since it didn't make sense, Sun Quan simply acted rogue.
"If Senior Sister Ning can't wait any longer, you can leave on your own and we can go our separate ways."
"Of course I have to leave, but you must also follow me!" Zhang Ning said.
"Why?" Sun Quan asked.
"Just because, just because I am your senior sister!" Zhang Ning thought for a long time and could only find such a ridiculous reason. Saying such words made her blush, but there was no way, who is Sun Quan? So annoying!
Sun Quan was too lazy to pay attention to this woman. He just pretended that there was no such person next to him and continued to walk around and "travel around". He didn't believe it. How dare Zhang Ning do it?
In fact, Zhang Ning was not wrong about one thing. Although Sun Quan was interested in this historic site, the same area was basically the same. Sun Quan was not an archaeologist, so he did not deliberately study every fragment. Therefore, Sun Quan really had the idea of delaying time on purpose and slowly dilly-dallying on the periphery. If you find something, it's a surprise. If you find nothing, that's not bad. It would be best if it can be delayed until late at night, when Sun Quan can use the "Let me think twice" skill unscrupulously again. Sun Quan doesn't want to get here with great difficulty and capsize in the end. Of course, it is also a pleasure to be able to temper the temperament of this yellow scarf saint.
At first, Zhang Ning was still cursing, probably because Sun Quan still didn't respond, but gradually she stopped cursing, and finally she became so quiet and strangely quiet, as if she was really a shadow, following Sun Quan in a low profile. Sun Quan accidentally looked over and saw that Zhang Ning also had a calm expression, not showing any sign of getting angry or sulking.
Is this woman completely overthinking it? Or are you planning some conspiracy? Sun Quan couldn't help but be more wary.
······
This side,
In the area that Sun Quan and the others had explored before, two figures suddenly appeared, one in the light and one in the dark.
The man in Ming Chu wears the iconic accessories of the Yellow Turban Army and is a high-ranking Yellow Turban executive. As for those in the dark, they act very cautiously. Even if they don't find any third party, they always move and hide in the shadows. If Sun Quan were here at this moment and had the honor to see this person's appearance, he would definitely exclaim, this person is none other than Li Ru!
Of course, if Zhang Ning, the woman in yellow, was here, she would also be able to recognize the person who came here with her and was regarded by Zhang Ning as a secret helper, the leader of Qingzhou Yellow Turban - Guan Hai!
"Brother Guan, have you discovered anything?" Li Ru stopped. He was keenly aware of Guan Hai's changes at this moment.
"Brother Li, come and take a look. There seems to be traces of man-made artifacts here." Guan Hai waved to Li Ru.
Li Ru heard the sound and walked over, walked out of the dark corner where he had been staying, and came to Guan Hai's side. He found that there was indeed a special mark on the ground. Although it was inconspicuous, it was obviously not naturally formed, and judging from the traces, it should have just appeared. how long,
"this is......"
Li Ru was watching in fascination when suddenly a cold wind swept behind him. Li Ru turned around sharply and managed to dodge the sneak attack from close range with just a hair's breadth.
"Brother Guan, what do you mean?" Li Ru stepped away and stared at Guan Hai with a cold face.
There is no third person here. The blow just now was naturally done by Guan Hai.
Guan Hai smiled coldly,
"You got out of the way so easily. It seems you are always on guard against me."
"It is essential to be on guard against others. And Brother Guan, you and I both know that besides us, there is another person here, and the traces on the ground appeared not long ago, and they were obviously left by that person for you. Brother Guan, look Isn't it suspicious that you don't understand the meaning and would ask me for advice?" Li Ru explained that it was precisely because of Guan Hai's unusual behavior that Li Ru became vigilant.
"So I'm curious, why did Brother Guan suddenly attack me? Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding? You betrayed me and you still don't admit it?!" Guan Hai started a fight if he disagreed.
"Wait!"
Li Ru retreated and dodged, instead of confronting Guan Hai head-on.
"Brother Guan, can you listen to me? There is definitely a misunderstanding! If I can't explain it, it's not too late to kill me!"
"Who doesn't know that you, Li Ru, are the best at rhetoric!" Guan Hai didn't give him a chance to explain at all.
"The reason why Brother Guan took action was entirely because of the secret code left by the Saint. But the Saint didn't know that I had a personal relationship with Brother Guan, right?" Li Ru quickly reminded.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Guan Hai was beaten. Without telling the saint, he secretly found Li Ru. Is it possible to say that he had no selfish intentions? Therefore, Li Ru's words did not convince Guan Hai, but Guan Hai was worried that Li Ru would deliberately lure the saint Zhang Ning here, and then expose his plan.
"Hmph, let me listen to your explanation." Guan Hai put down the long knife in his hand.
"Thank you, Brother Guan." Li Ruchong bowed his hand to Guan Hai, and then went straight to the point, "Brother Guan, what is the meaning of this code left by the saint?"
"You want me to hide, follow her secretly, and be on standby at any time." Guan Haizhi said.
Li Ru's eyes flashed,
"I see. In other words, besides us, someone else came in here, so Brother Guan thinks I leaked the news, right?"
