"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?"
"Shh."
Duan Qing, who made 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: "You can't see a single person within 10,000 meters around you.
Whose show do you want to see? Is it someone playing in the wild?"
"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 there
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 shameless evil thing, I can catch you right away, so don’t even think of playing any tricks in front of my eyes."
"That means 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 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 defeated 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 dyed red: "Don't do it like this, so... so soon, 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 quietly in a low voice. Feeling the trembling of the ground, 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 of him 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 should be here to 'humiliate' me."
The grassland like the sea surface danced like waves with the appearance of Duan Qing's words, and 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 little 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 coming from the breeze. The slight sound of horse hooves and the whinnying sound also appeared in the quiet night with the slight shaking of the carriage. Watching together
The black silhouette that looked like a human figure also emerged from the front of the carriage. The man who looked very cautious then used the fastest movements to observe the left and right sides of the grassland, and finally turned around and got back into the carriage 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 was like a cloth bag wrapped with thick felt cloth. He carefully looked around and kept looking around. The black silhouette carrying the cloth bag then lurked towards the camp where Duan Qing and the two were.
, that nimble posture and light steps also clearly demonstrated the power of this black shadow at this time, and at the same time, it also vividly displayed his nervous and cautious mood at this time: "..."
"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 temporary camp of the Sioux people. Looking at the black silhouette over there through the dim light, it seemed to be hesitating for something, and its steps gradually gradually
He slowed down and froze in place. He kept estimating the distance and any abnormalities that might occur. 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 long time.
Then he gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind, and threw the bag in his hand forward on the grass: "Don't resent me. In the past, guys like you would have been chopped into pieces by us.
Use it as the richest feed to feed cattle and sheep."
"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, 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 strange." 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 strange? 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 know 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 gone 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 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: "Do 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, he should at least come here 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 Huan Bing 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?" Crouching next to Duan Qing and looking at the slender body outline in the darkness, Xue Ling Huanbing asked matter-of-factly: "The mission you are 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 whether this is a blessing or a curse. Let's accept it first and then talk about it."
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 that the fatigue of this day is all worth it... Hey, where did I just say it?"
"Speaking of how 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 and your mission report will be written as freely as the wind in the sky."
"What are you doing? What I said is true." Pointing to the remaining portion of the barbecue in front of him, Asahi Dongsheng continued nonchalantly: "Otherwise, where did all the meat we eat come from? This is all
Is my booty any 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, Asahi Dongsheng's eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced into the dark depths of the far side of the camp: "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 straight and said: "Now that it has become like this, how 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 one who spoke was Xue Ling Huan Bing, who had just walked out of a certain tent, and she turned to the corner and was studying something, but she had never said a word at this time.
Duan Qing: "She's awake."
"If you have any questions, ask them."
