Northland Scenery Chapter 75: Holidays(1/2)
Lu An was running quickly, and suddenly saw an extremely dazzling meteor in the sky. His face suddenly turned slightly cold. It was probably Li Qing who took action, but seeing that there seemed to be a little road away, it had to be faster. He cursed again: "This little girl really likes to cause trouble. She runs so fast, hum!" Then the speed increased a little bit again.
Li Qing looked at the people who were approaching, and he didn't answer what he asked just now, but just stood there looking at himself.
Suddenly, a man took a step forward, pointed to the corpse lying on the ground, and asked directly: "Did you kill this person?"
Li Qing's face turned pale, he glared and replied, "So what, so what, no?"
The man also looked ugly when he heard this reply, and asked again: "Are you the one who killed me?"
Li Qing snorted coldly, "If you want to do it, come on." After that, Bai Gun pointed directly at the other party.
"You!" The man became angry and was about to take action when suddenly another person walked up behind him and grabbed him.
"Li Qing, Jiangcheng?" the man asked in confusion.
Li Qing narrowed his eyes and looked carefully. It turned out to be Zhao Riyue. That is, these people were all from Taiyi Sect. They became nervous in an instant and their palms began to sweat. Even though Li Qing's strength has increased significantly now, he did not dare to say that he could beat Zhao Riyue in front of him, let alone that there were other people around him.
"He is yours?" Li Qing asked, pointing to the corpse on the ground.
Zhao Riyue glanced at it, smiled, and replied directly: "You can't talk nonsense, we don't know this person."
Li Qing sneered twice, "Then what are you doing here?"
"I want to ask this, what are you doing here?" Zhao Riyue asked directly without answering.
Li Qing replied directly: "I came after him. Since I am not yours, I will leave first." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Zhao Riyue asked directly at this time: "Where are the others? Why are you the only one? Where is that Lu An?"
Li Qing stood back and looked at Zhao Riyue and said, "Behind him, he will arrive soon."
Zhao Riyue said oh, then smiled and said, "Since that's the case, why not chat? I really want to get to know Lu An."
When Li Qing heard this, his face changed immediately. He said to Zhao Riyue: "Next time, I'm not free now." After that, he jumped out directly.
Zhao Riyue just watched Li Qing go away, and had no intention of chasing him.
A person beside him asked in confusion: "Just let her go? She killed Thirteen."
Zhao Riyue replied with a calm expression: "If you die, you will die. Who asked him to take the initiative to find trouble for these people instead of looking for the big man? Remember to take back the things on him and don't waste it."
Hearing this, the man's face changed. He didn't expect Zhao Riyue's answer to be so heartless, even if the person who died was their junior brother who grew up together.
"The fourth brother, you should take the initiative to erase such disobedient people. Otherwise, if we are exposed because of his recklessness, wouldn't it ruin our major affairs? After the main work is done, I will slowly deal with them and make me embarrassed in front of a group of people. I remember this account very clearly." Zhao Riyue glanced at the fourth brother Qicheng with a squinted look.
Qi Chengmu nodded in a daze, and did not ask anything else.
"Let's go, the time is almost over. The hunting is over. Call the others back. See how many people are left. It's been delayed by the snow for a lot of time. It's time to do the serious business." Zhao Riyue said lightly.
Qi Cheng nodded.
After running for a while, Li Qing found that Zhao Riyue had not caught up with her. Her face instantly improved a lot. After taking a breath, he immediately saw a figure galloping towards him not far away. After a moment of identification, he found that it was Lu An. Then he waved his hand and shouted.
Lu An also noticed Li Qing at this time, ran directly to her side, and said with a ugly expression: "Why are you running so fast? What if they have an ambush?"
Li Qing looked at Lu An with a pale face and stuck out his tongue, but did not dare to refute it. He could only whisper: "Kill it, not injured."
Hearing this, Lu An's face improved a little, and then he said, "Let's go, let's get along with Gu Yan and the others first. If you have any words, I'll say it then."
Li Qing nodded and then found the people with questions.
In order to take care of the two large wounded people, the few of them were not leaving quickly, and it took Lu An and Li Qing a long time to find them again.
Then the group returned the same route, intending to continue looking for the bridge.
Seeing that everyone was together, Li Qing immediately told him what he had just had.
Everyone was surprised, especially Lin Cangyue, with a deep sense of fear on her face.
Lu An also showed a solemn expression and was silent.
Gu Yan exclaimed directly: "If the assassin was from Taiyi Sect, then what did Taiyi Sect want to do? Kill everyone? Wouldn't that be angry with the public? Which force would let them go?"
"But Zhao Riyue denied it and said she didn't know that person." Li Qing replied.
"Do you believe it?" Lu An asked back.
Li Qing's head shaking like a rattle.
"That's fine. Whether to do it or not, or recognize it or not, these are two different things. If he lets you go this time, you will be lucky." Lu An said with a blank look.
Lin Cangyue suddenly asked, "Since that's the case, what exactly does his Taiyi Sect want to do?"
Lu An shook his head and said he knew nothing.
At this time, Xue Nian suddenly raised his hand weakly and said, "I may know a little about this."
Everyone immediately looked over, and Xue Nian said a little embarrassedly: "But it may not be very detailed."
Lu An immediately said, "Tell me, let's see."
Xue Nian paused for a moment, organized the language, and then said, "We have five teams in total, all of whom are looking for military talismans, but this is just a task. In fact, we have a second task, but this is not a task."
"Oh? What is it?" Lu An asked in confusion.
"The superior told us that military talismans are definitely the top priority, but if possible, try to go north and investigate." Xue Nian said.
"Xiangbei? Isn't this asking for death?" Li Qing said in confusion.
Xue Nian nodded and replied casually: "We also felt this way at that time, so I don't know what to look north to investigate. Maybe Lin Yong knew that the team leader must know the reason." After saying that, he looked like he was reluctant to speak.
After hearing what Xue Nian said, everyone fell into deep thought, and Lu An was the same. At that time, Lu An always felt that his mind was a little wrong, as if he had heard someone say it, but he could not remember anyone who had said similar things.
"No matter what, let's not care about Zhao Riyue first, let's solve our own affairs first. I have had a holiday with them. Now I force myself to come over. There is no need to talk about it after we get the military talisman. If there is really something good, then we will join in the fun." Lu An said immediately.
After hearing this, everyone nodded and agreed.
Then Lu An said to Li Qing: "No more examples."
Li Qing lowered his head and nodded.
After that, the group finally found the bridge, Shiting Bridge.
"The name of Shiting Bridge is because of a stone pavilion at the bridge. The stone pavilion has existed for hundreds of years. According to legend, it was built by a rich man five hundred years ago. Later, the man paid for a bridge, including pavilion, bridge, and stone. Then the bridge was named Shiting Bridge, and the name has been used until now." Gu Yan took out a folding fan and talked.
But no one paid attention to him. After hearing this, Lin Cangyue asked, "Is this meaningful?"
Gu Yan suddenly became angry and blushed, and said, "Vulgar, vulgar, impatient." Then he snorted coldly and left, leaving Lin Cangyue with a confused look on his face, not understanding the reason.
Lu An looked at the conversation between the two and smiled, but did not say anything, urging these people to speed up and try to find the military talisman before night.
But after crossing the bridge, when he saw a large group of snow beasts in front of him, Lu An immediately changed his words and found a residence before dark, as close as possible to the general's mansion.
Although there are many snow beasts, they are basically all gray, with only a small number of white snow beasts, and their faces are a little better.
This time, Li Qing was simply showing off her power. She could basically be regarded as fighting against a group of snow beasts alone. Lu An and his men hardly helped her. Li Qing even was afraid of killing the snow beasts, and a small part of them ran away directly.
Looking at the pile of burnt charred snow beasts in front of him, everyone's sense of Li Qing changed again. Lin Cangyue's brows jumped and she exclaimed from time to time: "This girl is so fierce."
After venting his anger, Li Qing was in a good mood and did not chase after the escaped snow beasts and let them leave.
Then several people continued to move forward. After encountering three groups of snow beasts, they finally saw the General's Mansion marked on the map. However, it was already dark at this moment. Then Lu An decided to stay overnight and talk about it without rushing for a moment. After all, it was much more dangerous at night than during the day.
Another reason is that Li Qing is almost exhausted at this moment. After the previous pursuit, he picked up three groups of snow beasts in the afternoon, and his physical strength was almost exhausted. Lin Cangyue's injury may be healed halfway tonight, and he can take action with him. The beast spear has been used as a crutch for several days.
What's more important is that I'm not familiar with this general's mansion. What if there are some strange things in it, the most important place in the whole city will be somewhat unexpected. If there are two silver snow beasts inside, it will be a disaster. Moreover, the mansion looks a bit big, and I don't know the location of the military talisman, so I may have to spend a lot of time looking for it.
Another most important reason is that Shi Lin found traces of people nearby, but did not find those people at the first time.
So after thinking about it, Lu An decided to take a break tonight before adjusting his condition.
Everyone found a restaurant around the general's mansion and got in. They still had the old routine, setting up formations, making fires, and vigil.
That night.
Lu An sat alone by the bonfire, dazed, while the rest were either healing and meditating, or sleeping against the wall. The days of running around made people feel a little tired, and everyone was exposed at this moment.
Only Lu An is fine. Maybe he has been used to it. He has experienced too many times in danger, so he is better than them, except for Lin Cangyue. If he hadn't been injured now, he would have to ask for wine with Lu An again.
Lu An was a little bored holding the firewood and fiddling with the bonfire, just dazed.
I don't know how long it took, but Lu An heard a beast roar and looked up, but he didn't take it seriously and continued to stare in a daze. But then another sound. Lu An felt something was wrong and was about to get up to take a look, but a person had already come over.
Lu An looked back and it turned out to be Lin Cangyue, and asked in confusion: "Is the injury almost healed?"
Lin Cangyue nodded and walked out.
Lu An stopped Lin Cangyue and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Watch the fun." Lin Cangyue replied.
"Hiki?" Lu An repeated in confusion.
Lin Cangyue nodded and explained: "The two beast roars just now were a little angry, so you can imagine that someone must be provoking them, and it may be many people, because this is the roar of two silver-haired snow beasts."
After hearing this, Lu An's eyes changed when he looked at Lin Cangyue, "Are you so sure? Can you even hear your emotions?"
Lin Cangyue nodded, "I have lived with wild beasts since I was a child. Although I can't understand their screams, my emotions can still be heard, so I can definitely not be wrong. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Lu An nodded, but looked at the few people who were still sleeping, and shook his head again.
Lin Cangyue thought about it and seemed to be the same, and went to watch the fun, but she couldn't leave these people alone and scratched her head.
"You go, I'll watch here." Shi Lin suddenly said.
To be continued...
