"Hey! It's time to eat!"
Time came to the evening of March 21, 796 in the New Calendar, and another burst of night gradually invaded the entire sky. The white-haired figure belonging to Xueling Huanbing slowly appeared on the edge of the grassland where the Hulun people settled. , between the undulating grass blades near the edge of their temporary camp with the Nasio: "What are you still doing here?"
"Shhh."
Duan Qing, who let out a low hiss and made a silent gesture, did not turn his head because of the other party's call: "Don't interrupt, I'm still waiting for the show to start."
"The show is about to begin? What nonsense are you talking about?" He held his waist and looked at the other party for a while, and Xue Ling Huan Bing's original urge to move was involuntarily lowered: "There is not a single person within 10,000 meters around. You Whose show do you want to see? Is it someone playing in the field? "
"So you are also interested in this kind of thing? Maybe we can try it next time... Hey, hey, stop!" He hurriedly pressed the hands that the other party stretched out to twist his flesh in place, Duan Qing was lying on the ground A dry smile also appeared on the face on the ground: "Do I look like someone who likes to mess around? I'm just squatting here, okay? Speaking of which, you can find me now in the long grassland, and the look in your eyes is also It’s admirable enough.”
"That's natural, I'm Chu Lingbing." After releasing his grip on the opponent's waist, Xue Ling Huanbing pointed at himself again with a proud gesture: "No matter where you are, If you want to do any despicable and evil thing, I can catch you right away, so don’t even think about playing any tricks in front of my eyes."
"That's because you have so much free time." Duan Qing's disdainful look answered her: "Have you finished your task? Why did I only see you running over?"
"Of course it's done, don't even look at my current strength." Pointing his white dagger and shield, the proud look on Xue Ling Huan Bing's face became more obvious: "Three locations and threats, a total of I met twenty-three enemies, and all of them were killed by me—you still have time to question me? Aren’t you also taking a break from your busy schedule here?”
"I'm not taking a break from my busy schedule, I'm on a mission." Duan Qing curled his lips and pulled Xue Ling Huan Bing down to the grass next to him: "Don't move."
"You, what are you doing?"
Without reacting to the other party's sudden movements, Xue Ling Huan Bing's long white hair also disappeared into the green grass with a rapid scream, and the previously discussed topics also penetrated with the close male aura. The female swordsman's mind entered, and her face bathed in the dusk was instantly stained with a layer of blush: "Don't do it like this, so...so quickly, okay?"
"You will be discovered soon."
Saying words that made the other party even more misunderstood, Duan Qing's eyes still fell directly in front of them: "Don't talk, listen carefully."
"They're coming."
Pointing at the crooked and slanted black shadow that appeared together like an attacking twilight, Duan Qing reminded him quietly in a low voice. Feeling the trembling of the ground, the Snow Spirit Fantasy Ice's slightly agitated mood also followed the black shadow. He gradually calmed down with the appearance of the shadow, and the sight ahead was flashing in the dark night: "Is that...a carriage?"
"Yes, an ordinary carriage." Repeating the conclusion drawn by the other party, Duan Qing stared at the figure ahead without any change: "According to what I learned before -"
"They're supposed to be here to 'humiliate' themselves."
The grassland like the sea surface danced like waves with the appearance of Duan Qing's words. The moonlight flickering high in the sky also reflected the originally green plane with a white brilliance, as if The undulating grassland that was catering to the opponent's arrival then separated to both sides as the carriage moved forward, and the carriage that also looked a bit old was outlined in the moonlight where white and green intertwined: "This is - —”
"Shh, don't move."
The voice that wanted to ask a question was suppressed for an instant, and Duan Qing's reminder also sounded in Xue Ling Huan Bing's ears: "Just watch carefully. When it's time for us to appear, we will naturally appear. of."
Without any more words, Xue Ling Huan Bing finally closed her mouth and began to carefully observe everything that was happening in front of her. The rickety carriage at the end of her sight finally stopped quietly in front of the two people's vision. He stepped down and gradually became still amidst the creaking sound carried by the breeze. The sound of horse hooves twitching and neighing also appeared in the quiet night along with the slight shaking of the carriage. A black silhouette that looked like a human figure also emerged from the front of the carriage, looking very cautious. The man then used the quickest movements to observe the left and right sides of the grassland, and finally turned back and got into the car again: "...What is he doing?"
"How far is this place from our camp?"
Without giving a proper answer, Duan Qing's deep voice sounded again as he turned around. The looming fire also appeared with the bonfires not far behind them. The Sioux and the The temporary tents set up by the Wabu tribe and other forces swayed back and forth amidst the vague noises: "Is there only such a small distance left? They didn't send anyone to patrol at night?"
"Everyone has been very busy these days, and their time and energy have been wasted." Lowering his voice to the extreme, Xue Ling Huan Bing seemed to understand something: "It doesn't matter, since we discovered it—— "
"No, no, no, don't move yet." Suppressing the opponent's movement to get up, Duan Qing pointed slightly towards the front of the grassland again: "Even if it is really an attack, what are you afraid of with just a carriage? Just wait quietly for the development of the incident."
As if Duan Qing's words were fulfilled, the black figure who got into the carriage reappeared outside the carriage the next moment. After he jumped off the carriage, something appeared between his hands. It seemed that It looks like a cloth bag wrapped in thick felt cloth. Carefully looking around, the silhouette of the shadow carrying the bag then lurked towards the camp where Duan Qing and the two men were, and his nimble posture and light steps also moved this man. The power possessed by Dao Heiying was very obvious, and at the same time, his nervous and cautious mood at this time was also vividly displayed: "..."
"Forget it, just stay here."
A low muttering to himself then sounded along with the sound of the wind. The figure finally came to the front of the Sioux temporary camp. Looking at the black silhouette over there through the dim light, it seemed to be hesitating for something, and its steps gradually Slow down and freeze in place. He kept estimating the distance and any abnormalities that might appear. He was sniffing out all kinds of movements like a wild mouse and then lowered his head. He didn't know what he was thinking about for a while before he bit as if he had made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and threw the cloth bag in his hand forward on the grass: "Don't resent me. In the past, guys like you would have been chopped into minced meat by us and used as the fattest meat to feed the cattle and sheep. feed."
"It is our greatest kindness to be able to save one life."
No longer lingering on any glance, he quickly retreated to the carriage behind him. The sound of the whip and the rolling sound of the wheels also followed the figure's extremely skillful waving, and together with the carriage, they quickly disappeared into the distance of the dusk. Watching the carriage disappear in a flash, Duan Qing, who was hiding in the grassland, stood up from where he was with a calm expression. He frowned and confirmed that the carriage had disappeared, and then raised the corners of his mouth. Turning around to face the body of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice that he had tried his best to suppress before: "You, why don't you let me stop him? Such a good opportunity -"
"No need to stop him, you see he didn't do anything weird." Spreading his hands, Duan Qing replied in a relaxed voice: "As long as we are not attackers, we don't need to do anything drastic. Just let him leave."
"Isn't this surprising? He is simply a current criminal." Still pressing his hand on the white sword hilt, Xue Ling Huan Bing kept looking in the direction where the carriage disappeared: "At least we should find out the identity of the other party. ?”
"This is even more unnecessary, because I know who he is." The smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious, and Duan Qing nodded his head proudly: "If I hadn't ran over to spy on him during the day After a while, he probably wouldn’t have come here so quickly.”
"——Is it you?" An increasingly suspicious light flashed in his eyes, and Xueling Huanbing finally put back his eager thoughts: "What on earth is going on? Who is he?"
"A coachman who didn't want to get into trouble, an unlucky guy who accidentally won the first prize." Sighing and retracting his gaze, Duan Qing also brought his attention back: "In order to win this 'first prize' He left it to us, so he secretly came here under the cover of night.”
"Really?" The light in his eyes flashed away, and the suspicious expression of Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was aware of it, turned to the surface of the cloth bag thrown on the ground by the coachman: "Is it because you want to blame the murder on us? "
"The accusation of blaming is probably true, but the crime of 'murder' is probably not true." Duan Qing nodded his head and replied in a low voice: "It's not just because of what he said just now, if this guy If a dead body is dumped near our camp, then he should at least choose to come over in the middle of the night, so the chance of being discovered will be much smaller."
"He chose to come here at this time of night. He must have done so with the purpose of letting us discover this thing as soon as possible."
Sighing involuntarily, the gray-robed magician then walked forward. Then, with a worried look on his face as the following Snow Spirit Huanbing had not had time to stop him, he reached out and untied the cloth bag on the ground: "Well... it looks like He was knocked unconscious."
"Is she Naxia?" Xue Ling Huanbing, who was squatting next to Duan Qing and looking at the slender body outline in the darkness, asked matter-of-factly: "The mission you were responsible for mentioned character?"
"I'm not sure yet." Duan Qing shook his head, lifted one side and then gestured to Xue Ling Huan Bing: "Get her back first, and the rest can be done slowly. "
"I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse. Let's accept it first."
He looked at the night that had not completely turned dark and deep, and sighed in a low voice.
****************************
"Pfft! So cool!"
The bonfire in the night kept jumping in the bright light, bringing vitality like life to everyone sitting around, and Chaori Dongsheng, who had always maintained this vitality, was also filled with joy at this time. After taking the first sip of wine, I made a very loud and satisfied voice: "It's so comfortable. I feel like the fatigue of this day is all worth it...Hey, where did I just say it?"
"Speaking of you, you chopped down three tiger beasts with one blow." Gedman on the side replied casually, warming himself by the fire: "Really, the bragging draft is starting to get more and more outrageous. If you don't stop it with wine, Your mouth, your mission report will be written as freely as the wind in the sky."
"What for? What I said is true." Pointing to the remaining part of the barbecue in front of him, Asahi Dongsheng continued nonchalantly: "Otherwise, where did the meat we eat come from? This is all Is my booty good?”
"Yes, yes, it's all on your head." He twitched the corners of his mouth with a smile, and Goldman touched his bloated belly: "Really, I haven't eaten in the past two days. It's so meaty, I'm starting to miss vegetables, radish and egg soup...Why don't you go and clean up your own sleeping place first? The captain is not responsible for cleaning it up for you."
"There's no need to clean it up. Anyway, it looks like a fight is about to start." After taking another sip of wine, Chao Ri Dongsheng glanced at the dark depths in the distance of the camp intentionally or unintentionally: "There are ambushes and frame-ups. , I’m afraid our camp will be completely destroyed before it’s even built.”
"It is true that there are traces of outsiders' activities in some of the investigation sites, but this does not explain more problems." Gedman wiped his shield and turned his head to the other side: "As for framing... Not necessarily, anyway, that woman happens to be the missing person we are looking for, right?"
"This looks like a disaster." Without the excitement and joy when he saw the woman before, Asahi Dongsheng sat up suddenly: "Now that it has become like this, can we still send this woman back? No? Can Humobe believe in our innocence?"
"Whether he believes it or not, we can't send him back now." The speaker was Xue Ling Huan Bing, who had just walked out of a certain tent, and the one who was studying something in the corner and who had never said a word at this time. Duan Qing: "She's awake."
"If you have any questions, ask them."
