Journey to the Rose

After breakfast, their first tasks are:

Find an office where tips can be picked up.

After having a private conversation with Lu Zhenghe, Li Shen was obviously in a bad mood, he talked a lot less, and the opportunity to be funny was gone for the time being, so he focused on raising his vigilance.

With a crossbow and arrow hanging on Li Shen's chest, his expression was serious, and he was on the first level of combat readiness. He looked around from time to time, which made Wen Kai not quite used to it.

Wen Kai, on the other hand, seemed to be ignorant of what had just happened, or unwilling to ask, said nothing, and devoted his attention to protection work.His eyes are always on the front and back, ready to deal with unexpected surprises at any time.

Gu Zirong and Song Shumian took the lead and walked in the front, blending into the crowd like unrelated people.

In addition to being equipped with crossbows and arrows, Li Shen was wearing a coat that could cover weapons. His expression was normal, and he seemed to be walking alone.Lu Zhenghe and Ruan Xi broke up.Wen Kai was the furthest away from the team, looked around, and occasionally came to report the surrounding situation.

There are countless trips in the past, but no one has paid attention to this place yet.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

Looking at the people rushing in the same direction, Li Shen couldn't help but think of the wildebeest migrating tragically for survival. They are also running for survival.

On the side of the road not far away, there was a little boy with a basket in his arms, which was full of bread, and the toast fell to the ground in the collision of the crowd, and rolled into the street with the unintentional kicks of different people's toes. corner.

The little boy was holding the basket and stood there in a daze.

He leaned his body in the direction where the toast rolled down, as if he wanted to jump over the crowd to pick it up, but before he could move, his arm was suddenly grabbed by another adult woman with the same hair color.The woman reprimanded him a few words, and the mother and son returned to the crowd like flowing water in an instant, being pushed forward by the successive waves.

"Team, Captain!"

A cry interrupted Li Shen's observation.

Li Shen turned his head, "What's wrong?"

"I...I'm here," Gu Zirong turned around and ran out of breath, dragging Song Shumian who was also panting beside him, "I saw a notice under a clock tower over there ...the one who caught Ruan Xi!"

"Another arrest warrant?"

"Yes, the features and names are clearly written."

"okay, I get it."

After Li Shen finished speaking, he turned his head and made a "stop" gesture to the team behind him, then pointed to the place Gu Zirong was pointing at, and signaled himself to go and have a look.

Five minutes later, a group of people gathered under the bell tower.

The bell tower is an independent building with vermilion all over. It is very prominent among the dark-colored buildings on the outer walls of Key City. There is a hollow part in the middle, and a silver bell hangs on it.After the wind and rain, the bells are so stained that they look like old things.

On the wall at the foot of the clock tower, a black and white "wanted warrant" was pasted.

A portrait was also drawn on the wanted warrant.

Portraits are also in black and white.

Lu Zhenghe frowned slightly, and tightened the corners of his lips, a little dissatisfied.

"I say……"

Li Shen scratched his head and smiled, "Can't they give us Ruan Xi the whole color, it's black and white, so unlucky."

"...I'm thinking about this too."

Pulling back a corner of the hat, behind the brim reveals a pair of slanted eyes with a teasing smile in them.

Ruan Xi didn't understand, where did Lu Zhenghe get him such a camel hooded cloak, once he put it on, he looked even more like a homeless man.It should have been left behind by a hostess on the way to escape, and there is a faint smell of tuberose in the cloak, which is very reassuring.

After a while, Ruan Xi raised her hand.

A white wrist was exposed from the rolled up camel cuffs, and his slender fingers pointed directly at the "appearance description" on the arrest warrant.Fingertips across the "height", Ruan Xi said: "Actually... I am 1.8 meters two."

Lu Zhenghe looked at him speechlessly. How much difference is there between 1.8 meters and 1.8 meters?

"Coincidentally,"

Li Shen took Ruan Xi's shoulder, relaxed, and grinned: "I'm 1.8 meters tall."

Wen Kai shot arrows behind his back, "Fart! Last military medical examination, you were clearly 1.8 meters."

As soon as the neck was cold, Li Shen jumped away, folded his arms, and said dissatisfiedly: "1.8 meters! When you measured my height, you pressed my hair."

Wen Kai twitched the corner of his mouth, as if mocking.

He said: "Who told you to have such a raised hairstyle?"

Li Shen counterattacked: "Then you shouldn't directly reduce me by one centimeter!"

With a sneer, Wen Kai turned around leisurely, shook his head and said, "Look, some men are like this. They forget their name and where they come from, and they will never forget that they are 1.8 meters tall."

Li Shen's eyes widened: "What are some men..."

"What are you fighting for? Back in the north, there are quite a few omegas who want to be marked by you. Who cares about your centimeter?" Wen Kai rarely smiled, "Do you think it's another size?"

"I……"

Li Shen found in despair that he couldn't speak against him at all.

Ruan Xi couldn't help laughing, and grasped both sides of the hat on his head, and the wide brim of the hat instantly covered half of his face.He looked at the portrait on the arrest warrant again, and felt that it didn't look like it at all, but the small pointed face and high nose bridge were vivid.

"Do we have a husband and wife picture?" Lu Zhenghe stood close to him and said in a voice that only two people could hear.

Blinking, Ruan Xi thought it's fine if Lu Zhenghe's brain is broken, but his eyes are also broken.He said, "Where does it look like? Is it a melancholy temperament?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhenghe replied shamelessly: "No way, I'm taking the friendly route."

affinity?

I think you are on the "marriage" route.

Ruan Xi turned her head in disbelief, looking at Lu Zhenghe's slightly gloomy eyes when looking at people, the cold and hard line of his jaw, and the corners of his lips that don't rise when he shuts his mouth, all eyes have one meaning: Are you sure?

"Okay, I said yes."

His ears turned red from being seen, Lu Zhenghe was rarely shy, coughed uncomfortably, and patted Ruan Xi's head.Then, he turned around and said to Li Shen: "I'll take them away first, you can find a way to tear up the arrest warrant so that no one can detect it."

It's really wicked.

No reason was written on the arrest warrant, and it was posted in black and white. People who didn't know it would think it was a murderer or a fugitive.And the eyes are big and big, but the portrait draws him with three white eyes, most of the whites of which are exposed under the pupils, looking from a distance, it is called a fierce spirit.

They continued to follow the road signs to the famous offices in Key City.

In the entire land, every city with the ability to govern itself has a special place called an "office" to deal with city affairs, which can basically solve all problems related to the city.But now that the land is in turmoil, Wen Kai is not sure whether the person who wrote the key city office has run away.

Just finished breakfast, Ruan Xi hasn't fully digested it yet.

As he walked, he rubbed his stomach and sighed inwardly. The pasta sold in cities close to the north is indeed more authentic. The pasta is wrapped in stuffing, and when he bites down, the juice is flowing. He will never doubt the proportion of the store's ingredients. The ones sold in ablaze city are called heart-packed meatballs. The dough is thicker than the stuffing, which is not delicious at all.

"What do you think?"

Lu Zhenghe saw that he was silent with his eyes downcast, and lightly bumped him with his shoulder, "Aren't you full?"

"No, I'm not thinking about something to eat."

Glaring at him, Ruan Xi hugged her arms, as if she was tired from walking, "I'm thinking... I want to get a reminder, get my own key, then I will go to the office to guess the board in person. Then, be responsible for this If the staff of this matter are willing to write, they will see who I am. Now the land situation is turbulent, and Key City has already posted my wanted list. What if he knows who I am and is reported by him? "

"Now the city is in chaos..."

Lu Zhenghe narrowed his eyes, "If we want us to follow the rules and follow the normal procedures, we can't write."

"What should I do?"

"It's okay, I'm going to tie him up."

Ruan Xi:?

It's bad if your brain is broken, but why is it still acting in this unreasonable style...

After a while, Li Shen, holding a murderous crossbow and arrow, got out from the grass beside the road that could cover his body.He shook the fallen leaves on his head and shoulders, looked around, then squatted down, and made a "write" gesture to Lu Zhenghe.

Lu Zhenghe nodded, and gestured back to Li Shen.

Looking back, Ruan Xi found that Wen Kai was gone.Ahead is an open space standing in the middle of several big trees, and people queuing up to receive reminders are crowded in the open space.

Walking a few steps forward, a small wooden house appeared in front of me.

The wooden house is exquisitely repaired, and there is a huge key sculpture on the roof, but the roof is made of flimsy materials. Ruan Xi is very worried that the "key" will smash through the roof.He looked again, and there was a sign crookedly hung on the door plate in front of the wooden house, which read: Suspension of work.

A few minutes later, Li Shen tied up the clerk in the key city office with strings from the "ghost crossbow".

He put the big crossbow around the officer's head, and the tight string was just stuck on the officer's neck.While the other party was breathing rapidly, Li Shen could even feel the string trembling because of the trembling skin.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," struggling with the other party's small arc, Li Shen apologized several times in a row, and smiled to ease the atmosphere, "Human, in life, there are always some things and things that shouldn't be seen. You can't read it... But don't worry, you just follow the instructions and do things, I don't want your life."

Not only the neck, but the clerk's eyes were also blindfolded.

Lu Zhenghe couldn't find any cloth, so he couldn't get local materials, so he stepped on the desk in the office with one foot, stepped on the back of the chair, unzipped the zipper of the training coat, and wrapped the whole clothes around the officer's head.

He unbuttoned the weapon belt around his waist, and loaded the pistol that was inserted upside down by the way.

No need to pull the trigger, the smell of sex in the air is enough to frighten the clerk.

The clerk trembled and almost fainted from fright.

Li Shen had no choice but to tell him in the lingua franca——

Our eldest brother wants to guess the board!Quickly give him a guess!

As soon as the words fell, the dozens of wooden boards in the officer's arms shook, and they all fell to the ground with a "crash--" and fell to pieces, in a very embarrassing situation.

Now that the wooden planks were all shaken out, Ruan Xi didn't waste any time.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw a group of "hooligans" in his family tying up other public officials. He was really shocked and speechless.Holding his breath, not daring to make a sound, he squatted down and pushed all the wooden boards onto the table in front of the clerk.

The clerk's right hand trembled, and he fumbled around among a pile of wooden boards, muttering something, and finally pushed five out, and whispered too softly: "You, you choose one..."

Ruan Xi understood, picked one at random based on intuition, and pushed the wooden board in front of the clerk.

The officer clasped his hands together, put the board in his palm, muttered something incomprehensible, and then spread his hands.Finally, the wooden board was opened, and a small carved wood flower quietly bloomed inside.

At this time, Ruan Xi discovered that the planks were combined into one, separated in the middle, and the answer appeared.

The clerk touched the flower with his fingertips and said, "Your key guide is...the flower."

Ruan Xi nodded, turned around quickly, and retreated to the most hidden place in the room.

Now that they were all tied up, in order to confuse the public, the rest of the team also used the same method.

The clerk gradually relaxed, and everything went well.

Lu Zhenghe's guidance is "land", and what Wen Kai draws is the same as Li Shen, "water".In contrast, Gu Zirong and Song Shumian's guidance is more directional, namely "clock" and "three-color grass".

"Water" is easy to find. Wen Kai walked all the way, with his excellent memory, he quickly thought of the abandoned fountain after walking out of the tree corridor.

The side of the fountain pool is covered with moss, and it seems that it has not been used for many years. The little angel sculpture in the middle has broken its wings, and the cracks are shocking, but the water in the fountain pool is still sufficient.Although it was stagnant water, it was also a rare water source in Key City in Wen Kai's memory.

Without much hesitation, Wen Kai put on the guns and ammunition for self-defense on his back, and applied for half an hour to leave the team with Wen Kai.

After half an hour.

Wen Kai and Li Shen trot back dripping wet, pinching their noses, as if they were stink of stagnant water.

Gu Zirong asked curiously, "Captain, how did you find it?"

Li Shen was shaking his head crazily, wanting to dry his wet hair faster, "Fill it, roll up your sleeves and lie on the edge of the pool to fish it. Passers-by saw that we were just looking for the key, thinking that everyone's key was gone. Here, in a panic, helping to fish..."

Wen Kai said: "In the end, Li Shen's key was retrieved with the help of others."

Li Shen shot back ruthlessly: "Your key is still stuck under the armpit of that little angel sculpture."

Wen Kai was slightly annoyed, and said disdainfully, "It's better than yours being in the stinking ditch."

"Who is the stinking ditch?" Li Shen raised his voice, "You still..."

"Okay," Lu Zhenghe stopped, "Wen Kai, where is Gu Zirong's clock?"

"The process of finding the key is easier than we imagined," Wen Kai stood at attention, and reported with a vigorous expression, "I guess Gu Zirong's key is in the bell tower where the arrest warrant was posted just now."

Song Shumian took a step forward, "What about mine? I can go by myself."

"Don't go by yourself," Ruan Xi interrupted him, "Wen Kai should know what tricolor grass is."

"The three-color grass... is a plant planted in Key City, and its other name is 'snapdragon grass'." Wen Kai said.

"Then you can see it along the way?" Song Shumian asked.

Wen Kai nodded and replied, "It should be possible."

After typing the report, Gu Zirong temporarily handed over Song Shumian to Wen Kai.Because the distance was not far, he chose to return alone to the clock tower where the arrest warrant was posted just now.

Wen Kai slightly protected Song Shumian in a safe place behind him, touched his chin, and said, "Young master, yours is the most difficult thing, the land. But the land of this Key City is so vast, every inch we step on is , where are we going to find it?"

Lu Zhenghe pondered, "Let me think about it."

Nodding, Wen Kai gave him time to think.

After changing the subject, he continued: "Then... what are Ruan Xi's flowers?"

"Flowers," Ruan Xi lowered her eyelashes and clenched the neckline of her cloak, "I guess it's a place where roses are grown."

As soon as Ruan Xi's words fell, Lu Zhenghe frowned, as if he had come to a conclusion after thinking about it.

"Where the roses grow?"

Frowning deeply, he sniffed, "Ruan Xi, although I know that my first instinct will be very accurate, but why did you write it as the place where roses are grown?"

Ruan Xi said, "I have a hunch."

Wen Kai seconded: "That's right, this kind of groundless place should be based on a hunch."

Key·59 "Ruan Xi, red is actually very accurate."
