Quick Travel: From Beginner to Master

Ling Liang and his party traveled non-stop, day and night. After more than ten days of trekking, they were very close to the border guard camp, only about two or three days away.

The border areas are naturally incomparable with the prosperous capital city. The horses cross rivers and pass through dense forests, and the population gradually becomes sparse wherever they pass.

In the past, if they were lucky, they could still find a hotel open to welcome guests after dark, but since entering the southwest border area, it is rare to see a house where the family lives, let alone a hotel.

I spent the past two days just finding a place to rest.

Seeing the crescent moon rising in the sky, it was very inconvenient to continue on the road, so the few people had no choice but to find an open area nearby and set up a bonfire.

After eating dry food, finding a water source and solving the problem of washing up, the three of them began to take turns to stay vigil and rest.

Nothing happened in the first half of the night.

At a quarter of an hour in the morning, there was a rustling sound coming from the nearby grass, and it seemed like someone was lightly stepping on the branches of several trees scattered around.

"Host, you are in danger! Wake up quickly!" 999 was so anxious that he jumped up and down in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Ling Liang had always been a light sleeper. He immediately woke up when he heard the 999 warning, and several sharp weapons with cold lights on their tips came into view.

He rolled over, dodged the attack, and grabbed the spear beside him.

Three butterfly darts were stably inserted into the tree he was leaning on just now.

"Young Master!" Shu Qing drew out his long sword and quickly protected Ling Liang.

Shu Qing was keeping vigil. He had just noticed an assassin approaching and was about to wake up the young master. However, the assassin struck too quickly. He threw out the dart almost as soon as he noticed the assassin. By this time, it was too late to warn him.

Fortunately, the young master is fine, otherwise he would have to die to apologize.

Not long after Mo Qi fell asleep, the news of an assassination woke him up. He came over with his sword and protected his young master with Shu Qing.

There were constant slight noises in the trees and grass, and a group of figures appeared under the silent moonlight.

"on!"

The person at the front made a forward gesture, and both parties exchanged hands without saying a word.

The sound of weapons clashing was endless, and people kept falling in the fight. The bonfire danced and illuminated the open space around it, but the soil in the open space was already wet with the flowing blood.

Mo Qi deliberately left a person alive under his sword, preparing to ask the man who ordered them to come and whether there was an ambush ahead.

The man gritted his teeth at first and refused to say a word. Then he lowered his head and seemed to be thinking about it. When he raised his head again, there was something alarming in his eyes.

"Not good!" Shu Qing saw this situation and quickly stepped forward to stop it.

But still a step too late.

The man's eyes widened, his body twitched a few times, and he fell to the ground motionless.

Mo Qi walked over and lifted up the assassin's black scarf, and said with some surprise: "Female?"

Among the seven assassins, he thought they were all men, but he didn't expect that there was a woman among them.

Shu Qing looked at the complete face of the woman under the black scarf. She had no makeup and had an upper-middle appearance. The experience of assassinating others for many years gave her face a fierce look.

The woman bit the poison in her mouth and committed suicide. Black-red blood dripped from the corners of her lips to the ground. Shu Qing knelt down, dipped some of the black blood on the ground and smelled it, "It's crane crown red."

It turned out that what he had taken was arsenic.

Ling Liang glanced at the woman on the ground. If 999 did not call him in time, there was a high chance that he would be injured or even die under her escort, and it would be impossible to fulfill the original owner's wish.

This woman was the first to take action, and the look in her eyes meant she couldn't wait to kill him.

It's really strange. There's no deep hatred between them, right?

Mo Qi withdrew his long sword and saw the young master's thoughtful expression, and couldn't help but said: "Master, these people are probably the prince's people. You have come to the border and still can't escape the pursuit. It seems that the prince is strong." I want to get rid of you. Even if I enter the military camp in the future, I am afraid that such assassinations will be inevitable. Master, you must be more careful."

Lingdian nodded, "I'll pay attention."

He has 999 to help him, and he has more or less time to react when he is assassinated. It is not that easy for someone to get what they want.

But he remembered the prince's account.

Ling Liang silently looked at the assassin's corpse lying in pieces on the ground. The bright moonlight reflected the earth brightly. After a short period of restlessness, the tied horses in the distance returned to their standing posture and fell into a deep sleep. .

The insects in the grass had died down while they were fighting. Now everything was calm, and he could hear the beasts' roaring carnival again.

"We have to travel early tomorrow morning, so get some rest quickly."

Ling Liang pulled off a handful of weeds and wiped the tip of the gun clean. He walked to the tree he was leaning on, pulled out the three butterfly darts used by the dead woman, threw them aside, and leaned back.

Mo Qi and Shu Qing also returned to their respective positions.

Although they said they wanted to rest, the three of them didn't dare to fall asleep. No one could guarantee whether there would be another wave of assassinations.

The strong smell of blood overshadowed the fragrance of soil and vegetation, making it almost nauseating, but the three of them could only survive until dawn in such an uncomfortable atmosphere.

Ling Liang did not forget to thank 999: "If you hadn't woken me up in time, I might not be able to stay here now, 999, thank you."

999 swayed from side to side a few times guiltily, and the volume increased unconsciously, "That's right. If I don't help you, who will I help? Host, don't be polite to me! Who is this system? The most advanced and advanced system in the universe, those people... I’ll know when you come and let you know as soon as possible.”

The host and the other two have been on the road for so many days, and they can't say a few words to it every day. It is really boring, and its hair is growing when it is idle.

999 A few days ago, I accidentally clicked on a weird dating show in the universe, and then I accidentally got addicted to it.

No, the host was seeing something wonderful in space before it was attacked.

The green tea girl and the white lotus girl fight for the richness of the holy father man. What a wonderful plot. Even if I know there is a script, I can't help but want to read it.

The Holy Father Man is indeed the Holy Father. He can't bear to lose either of the two women. Well, he has made a choice. What did he say to the host?

He wants it all!

For this operation, 999 directly called 666. It wanted to see the reaction of Green Tea Girl and White Lotus Girl, but suddenly it felt something was wrong in the outside world.

When he looked up, he saw the assassin throwing hidden weapons at the host, and 999 was scared to death.

It didn't care about anything and shouted loudly at the top of its lungs. Fortunately, its own host was powerful enough.

Otherwise, 999 is worried that in his desperation, he will act like a living person disappearing out of thin air or resurrecting from the dead for Mo Qi Shuqing.

Ling Liang's thank you 999 was embarrassed to accept. It could have warned the host earlier.

Although its ability is limited in a low-level world, it can only advance by two seconds earlier, but the host can avoid it in these two seconds, isn't it very cool?

999 warned himself not to be playful anymore, while brazenly patting Ling Liang's chest and promising: "Host, don't worry, your future safety will be with this system!"

The host cannot see the dynamics of the system in space when doing tasks, so Ling Liang doesn't know how guilty 999 is.

He just felt that 999 was too excited compared to usual.

But 999 had good intentions, and Ling Liang quickly put aside his inner doubts and chose to believe it.

The host didn't seem to notice anything was wrong, and 999 was secretly glad to have escaped. If the host knew that it was preoccupied with two things and was distracted, there was no telling what would happen to it.

It has learned enough about the host's temperament.

The next morning.

The dewdrops on the grass and trees rolled from the leaves to the ground. The air was filled with a fresh smell again, and the smell of blood was very weak.

The three of them packed themselves up, took one last look at the assassin's body, jumped on their horses, and headed towards the military camp.

After only half a stick of incense, a small group of people appeared at the place where the three of them camped out last night.

After being stunned for a while, everyone quickly moved the body to the carriage.

They came to pick up their companions, and they agreed to meet back in the town after completing the mission.

Although the town is more than ten miles away from here, it won't be impossible to get back in two or three hours. Everyone knows that they can't wait for their companions.

Most of the companions encountered unexpected events and never came back.

On the first day they became secret guards, the trainers told them that shady secret guards did not need to have feelings. It was unnecessary and useless.

But every time they see one of their companions fall, those who are still alive still cannot avoid having complicated emotions.

The rabbit dies and the fox becomes sad, that’s what I’m talking about.

The one who fell today is his companion, but who will die tomorrow?

The leader looked angrily at the direction where the target person was leaving. The prince ordered the head of the Cui family's legitimate son to be killed, and sent a few people from his subordinates to carry out the task, but they all turned in.

Why is the life of the Cui family boy so tough?

If the task is not completed, a punishment is indispensable. No matter how severe the punishment is, he is not afraid of it. What punishment has he not received when he sits in the position of leader?

What he was afraid of was the prince.

The leader became frightened when he thought that he had to go to the prince to ask for punishment.
