It was late at night, and the mountains and forests had returned to tranquility. The students had all fallen asleep peacefully in their tents, with only the occasional cries of nightingales on the treetops coming from the trees.
Xiafeng College has arranged a vigil for students. Although there is nothing in the mountains and forests that would scare them, it is better to sleep more soundly if someone warns them than if no one warns them.
However, precisely because the vigil was dispensable, the students who were assigned the vigil were not very serious, and soon they all went to sleep on the ground. However, there were still some serious and responsible ones who kept watching.
"Hey, hey, get up and stare for a while. I'm going to go take a quick break." Qin Yuan said, kicking his companion who was sleeping under the tree.
"Why are you going again?!" Zhengxiang's companion was very upset when his dream was disturbed by Qin Yuan. Especially this was the fourth time, which made him almost irritable.
"I can't help it. I drank too much malt wine at night." Qin Yuan touched his belly.
Malt liquor uses barley malt as its main raw material. It has a low concentration and is not easy to get drunk. Qin Yuan drank a lot in the evening. Although he was not drunk, his stomach was full and he had to run for convenience every now and then.
"Go, go!" His companion sat up and leaned against the tree without opening his eyes, urging Qin Yuan to go quickly. After all, he didn't have much to complain about. Qin Yuan was keeping vigil responsibly, but he was secretly sleeping. Qin Yuan did not urge him, but just woke him up at this time. What could he say?
"Just watch!" Qin Yuan was still telling him.
"I know, hurry up!" The companion reluctantly opened his eyes. When he saw Qin Yuan leaving, he really wanted to look at him, but in just three seconds, his eyelids drooped again and he could no longer lift them up. .
Qin Yuan walked towards the old place that he had used many times tonight. Looking around, he could see no one who was supposed to be keeping watch like him. They all went to sleep somewhere.
Qin Yuan was a little helpless, but he didn't want to wake everyone up. There won't be any danger anyway, it's enough to be alone. He thought so. Qin Yuan possesses the third-level Chong Zhi Soul and the fifth-level Chong Zhi Soul, which are very good qualities for keeping watch at night. In addition, he is a member of the Xiafeng Academy Guards, so he has the unshirkable responsibility for this kind of thing.
Arriving at the same place that had been so convenient many times, Qin Yuan released it happily, and at the same time, he was also paying close attention to the surroundings, but he never expected that a cold streak would come close to his throat without him realizing it. Before he could fully react, a big hand had already covered his mouth.
"If you don't want to die, just be honest." A voice whispered in his ear, and then Qin Yuan felt the coldness in his throat scratch his neck, and a sudden burst of pain came. Qin Yuan's face turned pale with fear, and he hurriedly nodded. Two masked men in black, one on the left and one on the right, quietly walked around in front of him, and the big hand behind him covering his mouth slowly moved away.
"We are not here to find you, so it would be better for everyone if you cooperate." The man on the left in front of him spoke in a low voice.
Qin Yuan quickly covered his newly scratched neck with his right hand, not daring to make a sound and just nodded.
So the other party stopped talking nonsense and immediately asked: "Where is Wei Tianqi?"
Qin Yuan suddenly realized that, as expected, the only son of the city lord was indeed a weighty goal. But he also knew very well that he had helped the other party here, and if the city lord knew about it afterwards, there would be no good consequences.
"Give you a minute, take us there, if we find out there is any trick..." The cold dagger was placed on his neck again, and he gave him another bloody wound without hesitation. The other party saw that Qin Yuan hesitated a little at this time and decisively made further threats.
Qin Yuan had no choice but to lead the way for the three of them.
Deliberately going around a lot to attract discovery?
Looking for opportunities to send any hints?
It's not that Qin Yuan has never thought about it this way, but the other party is obviously more sophisticated. Within a limited time, no threats of any kind were allowed, and coupled with strict surveillance, all thoughts above Qin Yuan's level were completely eliminated.
He regretted very much, regretted why he didn't have more principles, regretted why he didn't insist on waking up all the people watching at night. If one person hadn't gone to sleep secretly, the situation might not be like this.
Qin Yuan soon became desperate. Even the companion he had just woken up when he left was nowhere to be seen. Apparently he fell asleep again immediately after he left.
One minute. Without daring to take a long detour or give the slightest hint, Qin Yuan led the three of them to the resting place of Wei Tianqi and his party. The emblem of the Wei family is very eye-catching even in the dark night, not to mention that they are all people with the Chong Zhi Po realm. The dark night is not an obstacle to their sight at all. The tent where Wei Tianqi is located does not need Qin Yuan to point it out. , the three people recognized them at a glance.
One person continued to hold Qin Yuan hostage, while the other two quickly stepped forward. Although Wei Tianqi possesses the spirit of the sixth heaven, he is obviously not taken seriously by these two people at all.
But...that's not right!
Qin Yuan stared at the tent. It was true that it had the Xiafeng family emblem of the Wei family on it, but that tent did not belong to Wei Tianqi! Qin Yuan would recognize it simply because the tent belonged to his family, and sleeping inside should be his younger brother Qin Zhen, who was also a third-year student at Xiafeng Academy. The Wei family didn't mind being mixed up with other students' tents, but how could the Wei family's emblem end up on his brother's tent?
Qin Yuan was vaguely aware of something, but he couldn't think about it at the moment. He didn't know the purpose of these three people. He didn't know whether they wanted to kidnap or assassinate. If it was an assassination, his brother was sleeping in the tent.
Worrying about his brother's safety more than anything else, Qin Yuan shouted out without caring about himself: "Wrong!"
puff!
Blood gushes out of his throat equally desperately. The other party didn't lie. He immediately attacked him mercilessly as soon as he made the slightest move. But the word "wrong" had been shouted, and the moment the other party heard it, they immediately realized that this seemed to be a useful message to remind them. The knife was withdrawn in an instant. Although the blade was deep, it was not fatal.
He was about to ask what was going on, but unexpectedly, a line of ice followed him from the back of his neck straight through his throat, silently. He widened his eyes and looked down, and saw the tip of a knife tilting his chin. He had done this threatening action countless times, but never once had the tip of the knife been tilted from such an angle.
He opened his mouth to say something, but no sound came out at all. Only a mouthful of blood flowed out of his mouth. He was still holding Qin Yuan tightly with one hand, but his body gradually softened.
The two fell together, Qin Yuan clutching his throat tightly. He didn't know how serious his injuries were, let alone what happened behind him. As soon as he turned his head, he saw the masked man behind him falling next to him, his eyes widened. There was a bloody hole in his throat, and blood was still bubbling out.
A black shadow passed by the two fallen people and rushed straight towards the two masked men in black who were charging toward the tent.
