"I've been waiting for a long time...so it turns out it's your little apprentice who's been waiting for me?"
"Not anymore."
"...Why, she abandoned you?"
"No, it's just...she's the boss now."
The sound of squeaking wheels echoed on the road to the east of Kalon Pass as the convoy set off again. At this time, Xu Yu Liushang was sitting at the shaft of the last carriage, asking Duan Qing his question with a smile: "So...you already knew she would come here?"
"...This is what she said herself."
Duan Qing lightly recounted the humiliating scene that happened at home, and responded with a smile to the rather dangerous look in the whispering smile: "She encountered an unpleasant battle when... she came here. As a result, the rented horses were thrown away, and when I turned around, I might even have to give a large sum of money to the carriage and horse racing company..."
"Money should not be a problem for this young lady." The blue-haired swordswoman brushed her hair blown by the breeze: "But... look at this posture, no matter what your status is, she is Are you going to rely on you for the rest of your life?"
"Is that so? Hehe, hehehe...ah!"
A short scream sounded in the front of the carriage, and then stopped quickly as Duan Qing's face twisted: "It hurts, it hurts... Don't, don't do this. If you have any dissatisfaction, please tell me, don't attack easily..." …”
"Hmph." The woman beside her retracted her twirling fingers, and then snorted coldly: "I didn't expect that a guy like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes would dare to turn around..."
"What?"
"...Are you with her?"
"How, how is it possible? He is the general manager of Tianxiang Company and a high-ranking official of Wings of Freedom. How could he like a little person like me..."
"Don't underestimate a woman's sense of smell, you bastard." The blue-haired woman said bitterly: "And that Thousand-fingered Crane... My sense of smell in this area is much better than that of men like you who like to act stupid. !”
"Yes, really?" The smile on Duan Qing's face became more embarrassing: "You, you must have misunderstood something, we are just fulfilling the contract..."
"……contract?"
"I help her solve some problems in reality and the game, and she...well, she solves my survival problems for me."
Duan Qing, who gently scratched the side of his face and rolled his eyes, decided to turn what happened last night into a perfunctory excuse: "It's the so-called mutual help. Although it's not very fair, you know, the recent freedom The condition of Wings is not very good, so..."
"She...won't be kicked out again, right?"
I don't know if he recalled some news from the outside world, but his eyes finally moved a little away from Duan Qing: "Due to some poor performance in the League Cup, the Wings of Liberty have been in a state of being criticized verbally and writtenly. Until recently, the major teams After the news of transfers and fights were exposed, they got a chance to breathe. I have read those news, and I can guess some of the reasons. This woman in the original dominant position... At this time I’m afraid it’s quite stressful.”
"The top management of Tianxiang Group may use these things as bargaining chips to suppress her." Speaking of this, Xu Yuliu Shang hugged her knees and looked ahead: "Her family's status in the group is probably getting worse every year. .”
"...Just now I saw the way she looked when she got into the car to rest. I thought she was too tired after walking all night." Duan Qing also sighed and continued: "Now that I think about it...most likely It may also have something to do with her real-life mood."
"Why do people hurt each other?" He sighed in a low voice: "Can't we just get along for a while in times of crisis?"
"Speaking of which, her experience seems to be somewhat similar to that of the smiling uncle."
Pointing to another carriage ahead, Xu Yu Liushang suddenly showed a smile: "It's just that her situation is relatively better, and she didn't encounter a broken mess..."
"The Wings of Freedom has a much bigger shelf than Fufeng, and their personnel reserves are also better." Duan Qing said thoughtfully: "A small shock in public opinion will not collapse such a guild, but similar intrigues That’s not necessarily the case. The free flight, the good times, the hot winter, and the half-pack of cigarettes that inexplicably ran into our faces on parade day...none of these are fuel-efficient lamps."
"Throughout the UEFA Cup competition, she has always been at the forefront." Duan Qing concluded: "So... this upright woman is the most suitable person to take the blame."
"...Everything seems to be somewhat similar to the situation we had three years ago."
The woman turned to look at Duan Qing's face, and her expression became a little sad: "Many people blame Cruhid's disappearance on you, as if everything was caused by you. , all the speculations at that time were full of endless malice, and the guy who had dominated the league for three years and had unlimited glory, became a good-for-nothing person in their mouths."
"You who disappeared are the source of trouble, the ancestor of evil, the messenger who destroys everything... No matter what you have done before." The woman's voice was full of sadness and sighs: "At least for a period of time... no one thinks You were right to leave."
"...I can imagine that feeling. After all, a dynasty was destroyed because of me." Duan Qing's eyes drifted to the clear sky: "But fortunately, I have not been affected by this negative energy world. After all, When these things exist... I have nothing to do with this world."
"...It sounds like you have no regrets at all?" The woman blinked at the other party.
"Of course, this is a wonderful time." Duan Qing looked back with his head tilted.
"I will never forget...the experience of these three years."
The convoy of several people walked out of the Andacher Mountains and came to a rocky wilderness. The sparse trees slowly receded in their right field of vision, and from time to time there were also habitats startled by the sound of wheels. birds, and the small beasts that live in the woods. The envoys from the Free City seemed to be very familiar with the surrounding scene. From time to time they stood around the carriage and pointed at the nearby scene. Several houses standing in the distance also occasionally appeared in the lower fields in the background. The lush green and the curling smoke prove that this place still has vitality and vitality unique to human society.
"This should be... still within Xifeng County, right?"
"Yes, sir."
A certain maid player in the carriage smiled slightly and answered in a pleasant voice the question raised by the smiling uncle who had just withdrawn his head: "This is the east of Xifeng County, the Andachel Mountain Road on the edge of the Andachel Mountains. , and going further is the territory of Fridol, which is the easternmost part of the principality and the last county on the border with the City of Freedom..."
"Well, you don't have to answer me so politely, little girl."
The smiling butcher awkwardly interrupted the introduction of Ningyu Ninglan, and then lowered his raised hand: "You...are you the servant of Brother Qingshan?"
"In my husband's words, I am his family."
The maid player smiled and tilted her head, and her neatly combed short hair also tilted to the side: "Now I am responsible for taking care of everyone's daily life and everyone's safety... If you need any trouble, please feel free to give me your instructions."
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, there in." Uncle Smiling's face became more reserved: "Well... we can just take a rest ourselves, you don't have to worry so much..."
"But uncle, you haven't gone to rest." Dark language Ninglan put her chin on her chin and said doubtfully: "Even Miss Xue Ling Huan Bing can't bear the fatigue of a night. You, the person who led the team to cross the Andaqir Mountain...how can you still be like this? Are you energetic?"
"I...I just have trouble falling asleep."
The smiling butcher withdrew his gaze and turned to the scenery that was still retreating: "So I want to kill some time in this way..."
"The scene outside is really nice." He sighed and said, "Maybe I should relax earlier and enjoy this beautiful game world..."
boom!
A loud explosion suddenly appeared in front of the convoy, interrupting his sigh mercilessly. The uncle who was holding the window with his right hand still raised in the air suddenly suffocated, and looked at the opposite sight, where he was originally located. The maid had already disappeared before his eyes: "What happened..."
"Enemy attack! Prepare to fight!"
A loud shout belonging to the cavalry suddenly sounded around the carriage, and at the same time there was the sound of horse hooves and running: "Sixty in front! Thirty in number! In the woods -"
"They're those mysterious people!"
"Don't panic, defensive formation." Jason's voice then sounded in the field beside the convoy: "Protect your lord!"
boom--
Another explosion mixed with sky-high black smoke sounded in front of the road. The smiling uncle finally reacted and stretched his head to look there. He saw that the carriage at the front had already screamed amidst the huge noise. Fell over in the convoy's path. The wooden boxes carrying all kinds of goods rolled around there as the carriage fell apart. Some of the rare treasures had even been thrown out. But to everyone's surprise, what was supposed to be there was The figures of the two envoys in the carriage did not appear in the overturned carriage.
"Don't panic!" A loud shout sounded from behind the convoy, and Duan Qing's figure running forward quickly appeared at the same time: "Their attack plan failed! Catch them all!"
"yes!"
As if they had been waiting there for a long time, several players suddenly appeared from a carriage in front of the convoy, and then responded to Duan Qing's command and rushed towards the woods on the roadside. A blue-haired woman standing in the carriage where Duan Qing was originally also suddenly pulled out her weapon, deflected a cold arrow that came from nowhere, and then looked at the hillside on the other side of the convoy. He warned others: "They still have accomplices! They're on the mountain!"
"The magician is also up there! The first fireball came from over there!"
"They're coming down! They're coming down!"
"Don't panic, all the cavalry are dismounted! Black Corn, you continue to suppress the people on the other side of the woods, prioritize your own safety!"
In the chaotic scene, Duan Qing's voice was as clear as the thundering bells and drums: "They are just these two groups, if you stop them, you will win! Ninglan will protect the special envoy and the others, and the rest... follow I come!"
"Do you want to regain your position? Then come to me!"
He shouted loudly, rushed towards the black shadow on the hillside first, and then, under the cover of another slender sword energy, took the lead to intertwine with the enemy at the front. Scattered sword energy and battle shouts immediately echoed around the hillside, and at the same time the faint black mist was dispersed into the air there. Amidst the harsh sound of hissing, a red and black flame appeared. It passed through everyone's heads and flew towards the direction of the smiling butcher.
"careful--"
boom--
Amidst the roar again, another carriage overturned to the ground amidst the screams of the horses, and at the same time, the retreat route of the convoy was completely buried in it. The middle-aged man carrying a large black iron shield coughed and struggled to climb out of the broken pieces of wood. He quickly checked the surrounding situation, then took off the shield behind him and moved toward the man who had just woken up. The few teammates who managed to survive shouted loudly: "Everyone wake up! An enemy is coming!"
In front of him, several identical black shadows were quickly sweeping down the rugged hilltop where they were, then they pulled out their weapons and attacked in his direction: "The encirclement is about to be completed, the plan continues..."
"Kill them!"
"kill!"
In the sudden change of battlefield, people on both sides let out a deafening shout, and then under such conditions, they collided with each other with all their strength. The shield warrior, who was slightly weaker in strength due to the difference in equipment, was immediately defeated in the first confrontation. He was knocked away by the opponent's sword from a distance, and then rolled on the spot and hid. Arriving behind a rock: "Be careful, they are very strong..."
Bang——
A thin sound suddenly rang in his ears, and at the same time, debris turned into wooden boards of the carriage appeared across his eyes. He shrank his head and removed the debris that hurt him. He waved his hair down, then looked up and took in the scene that happened on the other carriage - the wooden door at the back of the carriage had been shattered into fragments all over the sky by some huge force before, and the whole carriage was shattered into pieces. A man in black who wanted to break in was shaken out, and a cold wind cut through the air there, shrouding another enemy who wanted to sneak attack later. Countless icicles then extended from the inside of the carriage, shooting out of the carriage like beautiful white lotus flowers, and then sent the body of the man in black, together with the spray of bright red, to the sky diagonally above. middle.
"You actually don't let women sleep well."
Then, Xue Ling Huan Bing, wearing a black cloak, got out of the car with a frown.
"...You are very annoying."
