Rise in the glory of the king system

Chapter 622 Attacked
Sniper Xiao Wu is very happy recently.

The daily life of the sniper team is very simple. On days without missions, they train during the day, play cards with the soldiers at night, and occasionally have duels to watch.There are two days off every month to go home. Of course, Xiao Wu has not married yet, so he can only go back to see his parents and younger siblings.

It’s not that Xiao Wu has no personal charm, and no one in the entire sniper team has a family yet, so any information that may involve “marriage events” is very attractive

Recently, the training tasks of the sniper team have been reduced again.

The captain disappeared for two days, and when he came back, he rode the same horse with Miss Gongsun, but perhaps to avoid suspicion, the two dismounted and walked back together before entering the city gate.

It happened that Xiao Wu was on duty in the sniper team that day, and the information was fully seen through the sniper scope.

This is simply SSS emergency encrypted information!He is excited, he is excited, his heart is surging, he can't wait to spread it to the world!
"Really, let me tell you, the captain must have reconciled with Miss Gongsun again! You can see that he has been proud of his face recently, and he has stopped being picky in training. He disbands early every day, and even added two for us last night. Roast chicken! Look! There is definitely adultery!"

The sniper Xiao Zhang continued to change bombs expressionlessly. "He said the pheasants were caught unintentionally, only two, not enough for the entire Great Wall."

"Well, even if that's the case," the sniper Xiao Wu's enthusiasm was not affected at all, "You know, during the break yesterday, I accidentally spilled water on his gun, and he didn't even reprimand him, and even smiled at me Just a little! A little smile! You know what!"

"do not know."

"Then I tell you and you'll know!"

A breeze blew by, and a maple leaf fell.

"Concentrate on training."

"Hey, why are you so boring!" The sniper Xiao Wu went berserk, "Why don't you care about the captain's love life! Maybe the captain is the first one in our sniper team to get married. You have to make trouble in his bridal chamber, look, I will make him restless all night, so let's leave it here..."

Seeing that Xiao Wuyue's words were getting more and more outrageous, Xiao Zhang reminded again: "Have you finished your aiming practice?"

"Of course not, oops..."

"There's no need to do that."

The calm and gentle voice concealed an undeniable overbearing.Xiao Wu suddenly shut up, and he recognized that it was the captain's voice.

Countless crystal light spots suddenly appeared, danced and condensed, and a person gradually appeared in front of them.

"Damn... I forgot that the captain can be invisible..."

Xiao Zhang picked up the maple leaf from the ground. "The captain has been here a long time ago."

"Yeah." Baili Shouyan nodded, "So everyone cares so much about my marriage."

"It's okay, it's okay, captain... the captain is so handsome, unrestrained and suave, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about marriage..."

"Thirty kilograms and ten kilometers back and forth, one hour, no dinner if you don't come back." Baili Shouyue smiled and said: "You just said that I smiled at you. Is that how I smiled?"

The smile is obviously gentle and elegant, but the words are not like that.

"You..." Baili Shouyue looked at Xiao Zhang again, "... let's go together."

Xiao Zhang is not good at bargaining, so he agreed, turned around and went to get the weight.Xiao Wu frantically protested on the spot. "He obviously didn't say anything! Captain, why are you so vicious! You oppress soldiers! I'm going to complain to Miss Gongsun!..."

--------------

Baili Shou promise is on duty tonight.

After dinner time, it was getting dark, and his two team members ran back.Baili kept the promise and watched the two of them run to the place where they had lunch, but they didn't make it in time for dinner, so they had to go back to take a shower and change clothes.

The two of them entered the camp together. Later, Xiao Wu came out alone, and ran to Hua Mulan with the maple leaf. It seemed that he really went to complain to Gongsunli.

Knowing that Xiao Wu would not say anything good about him, he kept the promise but was still a little happy.The ancients said that "seeing words is like meeting", which means that two people who are very close write a letter as if they met each other in person.

He had no reason to look for Gongsunli, but when he was invisible, the maple leaf transformed by mana saw Gongsunli, and he always felt as if he had seen her.

Unknowingly, the longing has been deep.

Soon, Xiao Wu came out arrogantly again, with a proud expression, presumably he severely condemned his brutal behavior.Baili Shouyue watched quietly, imagining Gongsunli's reaction when he heard these words, a little joy gradually rose in his heart.

He decided to get some supper for them later, since skipping dinner would be bad for his health.

Before walking down the city wall, he suddenly saw Su Lie going to Hua Mulan's tent, and he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.However, Su Lie has no friendship with Gongsunli, so it is more likely to find Hua Mulan.

He thought for a while, determined to ignore the unpleasant intuition in his heart, and decided that Su Lie was looking for Hua Mulan.

--------------

At noon a few days later, Yang Yuhuan entered the Xiaoming Flower Garden at No. 37 Yongjiafang.The two spies who followed from afar exchanged glances with each other, one continued to follow, and the other went back to report to Li Yuanfang.

Yang Yuhuan didn't notice anyone following her, so she bypassed the guests picking peonies in the yard, and went directly into the backyard to find Ming Shiyin.

"Boss, a letter from A Li."

Pei Qinhu, who was chopping firewood nearby, dropped his ax with a bang, and rushed over: "Look at what's written."

Yang Yuhuan teased him: "Why are you so anxious, A Li's letter is not for you. Wait until the leader tells you, can you still fight?"

"Smelly woman, don't sow discord, this is my task, of course I want to know the progress." He shook his head coolly, "Little brother, don't you think so?"

Yi Xing was immersed in an endgame, he didn't even raise his head, and just made a perfunctory sound.

After reading the letter, Ming Shiyin touched the envelope again, and took out a smaller envelope and a maple leaf from it.The maple leaves are golden red in color, but they are still lifelike when they are sent with the letter.Ming Shiyin stretched out his hand to caress the upper veins of the leaves, and immediately felt a clean and gentle magic power flowing on them.

"This thing, let me see it too."

Yang Yuhuan was worried about Gongsunli, and didn't bother to talk to Pei Qinhu, so he asked directly, "What did Ah Li say in the letter?"

"I strayed into the desert and lost my way. Fortunately, the sniper captain Baili kept the promise to save me. Later, I met Hua Mulan, the defected guard of the Great Wall, and Su Lie, the general of the auxiliary country, and joined the Great Wall guards. Everything is safe and smooth."

"Then what is this maple leaf?"

"I was performing an assassination mission sent by the Great Wall Guards. I made a mistake and fell into a dangerous situation. Baili Shou promised to rescue me again..." Ming Shiyin thought for a moment, "A Li said, he is very nice, and you can read between the lines. I admire him very much and should probably become friends.”

Pei Qinhu almost tore the maple leaf, but Yang Yuhuan quickly held it down.

"I don't know how to repay the two life-saving graces. I accidentally got this maple leaf. It was transformed by Baili's contract-keeping mana. Please use it as a matchmaker to do a fortune-telling. If you can use the hexagram to help you survive in the future , can also be a little compensation."

For a while, the eyes of several people were focused on this maple leaf, and Yang Yuhuan smiled and said: "Ahu, I remember that time when Yixing was besieged while playing chess in Tianyuan Pavilion, it seemed that you passed by and saved him. At that time, you said What...'Last time I saved him, he can only promise with his body', why did Ah Li forget this sentence?"

"That's nonsense!" Pei Qinhu became anxious on the spot, "God stick! You can't talk nonsense with my old sister!"

Ming Shiyin tilted his head and thought for a while: "You seem to have said that before."

"My words can't be true!"

Yi Xing interjected at the right time: "Brother, little brother can't repay you, you can only promise him with your body."

"Who wants you to make a promise with your body!!!"

Yang Yuhuan looked funny, but after a while he remembered and asked, "What is this letter?"

"This is a private letter from Su Lie, the general of the auxiliary country, to Jia Luo, the lord of Thousand Caves City. A Li said in the letter that Jia Luo's whereabouts are uncertain. Su Lie didn't know where to send this letter, so he asked her to find someone to deliver it. It can be delivered to Jia Luo himself."

"Jia Luo..." Yang Yuhuan thought for a moment, "I heard from Ah Li that Mr. Shangguan in the school seems to know this person. The leader might as well give this letter to me, and I will definitely deliver it."

"Okay." Ming Shiyin didn't know Jia Luo, so he gave the letter to Yang Yuhuan unceremoniously.Over there, before Pei Qinhu got rid of Yi Xing, he ran up to Ming Shiyin and threatened him: "Hey, you can't talk nonsense to my elder sister!"

"Promise with your body?" Ming Shiyin took the maple leaf from his hand. "I'll go to divination first, don't worry, I will definitely tell Ah Li in a letter if you want to."

Pei Qinhu gave up, watched Ming Shiyin enter the house and close the door, thought about it and felt wrong, until he saw Yi Xing looking at him as if he was looking at a fool.

"Hey! Tell me clearly! What are you going to tell her about what I said!"

……

"Me! Shen Mengxi! Colorful whirlwind super invincible bomb cat! I will never be with the enemy in this life! I won't go! I won't go!"

"Baili Shou promises to cook himself."

"That's not going either..."

"To protect a girl."

"Then... what girl?"

Li Xinxin knew it when he thought about it, "A girl with rabbit ears often carries an oil-paper umbrella."

"Does it look good?"

"I haven't seen her since she grew up. I only heard that Chang'an is famous, and it's hard to find a dance." Li Xin showed some nostalgic eyes, "Be sure to protect her, and don't say you know me. "

"Huh?" Shen Mengxi couldn't understand, "This girl has enmity with the officer?"

"No, she is my relative."

Shen Mengxi scratched her head and flicked her tail, feeling that human beings are really unreasonable.He lay on the ground with the whole cat curled up in a ball, and looked at the Great Wall with melancholy eyes. He saw the blue sky, the sky was high and cloudless, and the flag of the Great Wall was fluttering in the wind.

It has been seven or eight days since the Duhu Mansion was harassed by a small group of demons, and it has been safe and sound until now.Speaking of it, it will be fine in three days, and there should be no follow-up troops, but the chief doesn't seem to relax.

Every time the monsters attacked, he was nervous, and he didn't have the demeanor of a general guarding the palace at all.Shen Mengxi slandered.

However, if I let myself protect the girl every time...

Shen Mengxi hesitated.

Protecting a girl is naturally impossible.But he is also a soldier of the Protectorate!He also has the dignity of a soldier!The bomb in his hand is also a big killer that frightens the enemy!

Going to the Great Wall...

"Don't worry, Baili Shouyue won't be around anytime soon."

"Hey? How did the officer know?"

Li Xin smiled, but did not speak.

--------------

The wind in the desert is still raging, and today seems to be stronger than before, blowing yellow sand all over the sky.Gradually, even the sky darkened, as if there were dark clouds that should not have appeared, and it seemed that it was just sunset, and it was not clear through the yellow sand all over the sky.

But if you count the time, you should know that it is still early from sunset.

"Don't go," Hua Mulan stretched out her hand to hold Baili Shouyue, "The wind is not right, we seem to have fallen into the enemy's trap."

Baili Shouyi stopped together and looked at the compass in his hand.Ever since he and Gongsunli got lost in the desert last time, he remembered to bring a compass.

It is better to be in awe of nature.

The compass shows that the destination is still ahead.

"Twenty miles to the west of Zhuliu Ancient City. We are very close, and there are still about two miles to go."

"Why is he so far away," Hua Mulan complained, "He wants to see me and come directly to the Great Wall."

"Captain is familiar with him?"

"It's not that much, talk while walking."

The two looked at the sky, ignored the getting darker environment, and continued to follow the direction of the compass.The wind was too strong, so I had to cover my mouth and nose with clothes, which made the conversation between the two of them unclear.

"Zhuliu City, also known as Lanling City, was the former Protectorate's Mansion. Gao Changgong was the former prince of Lanling City. Later, Lanling was captured by the Tang Dynasty. He followed an old man and became an assassin, sowing discord every day. , deliberately harming the Great Wall Guards.”

"Is it our enemy?"

"Not really. Three years ago, the demon species invaded. Because of some things, I was considered a traitor by the court. At that time, I had nowhere to go. I lived with him for a while, so I knew him a bit. He is very contradictory. On the one hand, he loves peace and cannot bear to see people dying, and on the other hand, he hates the Great Wall Guards."

"Then what did he choose in the end?"

"I don't know." Hua Mulan smiled, "I'm waiting too."

Dare to go to the appointment alone without knowing the other party's purpose, this kind of courage and trust, with some quack air, but also dazzling.In fact, Baili Shouying doesn't know about Hua Mulan's past, he only knows that she is definitely not an ordinary woman.

Both civil and military, Zhiyong and courage are not inferior to men, and they are more open and aboveboard than ordinary people.Why Hua Mulan was wanted by Chang'an, and why she was able to freely enter and exit the Great Wall, and gained the trust and obedience of all soldiers and generals, and became the real leader of the Great Wall Guards, these are actually not clear to Baili Shouyue.

These things are like a mystery, and the mystery involves many people, including Hua Mulan, Su Lie, Li Xin from the Protectorate, and various forces in Chang'an.Baili Shouyue thought that he was not in the mystery, and could only vaguely feel its existence.

In the middle of the mystery, lies a huge conspiracy.It is conceivable that every step close to it will be perilous.

He looked up at the darker sky again, and made up his mind that since he was not in the mystery, he would not ask for trouble.There are many people in this world, and there are many complicated things. Everyone is controlled by fate and cannot help themselves.Fate did not involve him in the vicissitudes of the Tang Dynasty, so it is best not to take the initiative to spy.If you are not destined, you will be torn to pieces by this storm too easily.

Guarding the Great Wall, guarding the people behind the Great Wall, guarding his younger brother, and guarding every promise he made is all his ideals.

Just as he was thinking, Hua Mulan reached out to stop him again, "Shou promise, do you feel any danger?"

For danger, the descendants of the demon species will have a sharper intuition than humans.

"An hour ago, I told the captain that there would be danger." Shou Yue looked around, "Didn't the captain say that King Lanling wouldn't hurt you?"

"It won't hurt me, but it won't necessarily hurt you."

At this time, the sky was as dark as night, the wind gradually stopped, the sand and dust fell, and the vision became clearer.On the sand dunes at the foot, you can vaguely see a series of interlaced thin lines, glowing with a faint purple fluorescence.

The thin lines are far apart, and wherever the eyes can see, everything is covered by this sparse and eye-catching thin line.

"This is a magic circle..." Hua Mulan murmured.

Baili Shouyan took off the shotgun on his back, and at the same time drew out his saber and held it in his left hand. "The captain can wait for me outside."

Hua Mulan knew in her heart that keeping the promise meant that he would go to the end no matter what.In fact, ever since Gao Changgong said that he had a clue about Xuan Ce, she knew that keeping the promise would definitely pursue him.

"Let's go together. If he wants to hurt you, I can stop him too."

Keeping the promise and not answering, it was regarded as acquiescing, and the two continued to move forward.

The further you go, the denser the thin lines under your feet, it seems to be approaching the center of the magic circle.The sky was as black as ink, with no stars and no moon, it was so dark that it was even a little purple.

A bloody smell gradually came from the front.Keeping the contract carefully discerned, it seemed to be wolf blood.

Could it be Xuan Ce?

His heart tightened, and he involuntarily quickened his pace.By this time, the smell of conspiracy was too obvious.Even though he knew it was a trap, he still had to move forward.He had an intuition that if he didn't leave, he might never see Xuan Ce again.

It was an appointment to stay together forever, and he even changed his name for this.

Keep the promise, and what you say will be done.

The smell of blood in the air suddenly became thicker, and there was an undercurrent in the surrounding air, as if something invisible was coming through the air.

Hua Mulan shouted: "Be careful!"

he came.

In the thick darkness, a long triangular army pierced out from behind, piercing towards Baili Shouyue from behind.He seemed to have sensed something, turned around suddenly, and raised his hand to hold the saber in front of his body, barely blocking it just an inch away from his heart. The metals intersected, making a crisp sound of "clang".

The invisible man slowly walked out of the darkness, dressed plainly, but wearing a black mask, with only a pair of eyes exposed.The triangular army thorn in his hand began to emit blue fluorescence, and it was not blocked by the darkness brought by the magic circle, and the light flourished.

"Gao Changgong! What are you doing!"

This is Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling.Baili kept the promise and didn't care about why the other party attacked him, and asked coldly, "Where is Xuan Ce?"

"It's right in front." Gao Changgong chuckled. "time is limited."

The smell of wolf blood in the air became stronger and stronger, Baili Shouyue felt nervous, turned around and ran to the center of the circle, and at the same time pulled the safety catch of the shotgun with one hand.Hua Mulan wanted to chase, but was stopped by King Lanling.

"What are you stopping me for?"

"Why are you chasing him?" Gao Changgong asked back. "Let's not interfere in other people's family affairs."

"It's not safe here, let's talk outside." Gao Changgong signaled Hua Mulan to follow him, and the two walked north, gradually away from the center of the circle.While walking, Gao Changgong talked about how he knew Xuan Ce, but he deliberately walked to the east of Hua Mulan, so as to block the rising flames of war in the direction of the Great Wall.

It was a warning of an attack.
