Mountainside again?

The strange girl I met during the day said that she is at the mountainside every day... If she is at the mountainside, then is her master also at the mountainside?

Isn't the villain just in the middle of the mountain?

"Your Majesty, did you meet anyone in the mountainside?" Jiu Shigou asked hastily.

"How do you know that I will meet someone when I go to the mountainside?" His Majesty asked back.

"Your Majesty, I may have misunderstood you."

"Oh?" Wu Ting raised his eyebrows.

"After you left today, I met a girl. She said that she was in the mountainside every day, and that she had a master. According to her description, her master was very bad. Your Majesty, I think this master is probably the villain. Maybe it was a misunderstanding when I said you were a villain earlier."

"Girl?" Wu Ting was suspicious, "When are there other girls on this island? What's her name?"

"Wu Lan."

"Wulan..." Wu Ting recited it in a low voice, as if he had heard the name somewhere before but couldn't remember it for a while.

After a long time, he finished a bowl of milky white fish soup, took another bowl himself, and asked while drinking, "Your Majesty, what happened in the mountain belly today?"

Wu Ting didn't like to explain too much to others, he glanced at him slightly, and the guard next to him immediately understood the meaning, immediately cupped his fists, and said in a tone of reporting military situation: "Your Majesty ordered the leader of Lanya to station in a peach grove in the middle of the mountain, Unexpectedly, the spies sent today reported that the leader of Lanya had disappeared, and all the peach trees were uprooted and all died without exception."

After a long time, he was full of energy, as if he suddenly understood something, "Today, the girl named Wu Lan said that her master ordered him to dig peach trees in the middle of the mountain. Could it be that your leader Lan Ya met her master, and a fierce battle , that's why...?"

There was a dangerous gleam in Wu Ting's eyes, "Did she say who her master is?"

"I asked, but she said she couldn't tell me, but she said that her master looks vicious, carries a sword, and likes to chop people everywhere. Your Majesty, have you ever met such a person on this island?"

The guard next to him replied: "I have been waiting to go to the island for several months, but I have never seen such a person."

He turned to Wu Ting again and said: "Your Majesty, our people have been patrolling the island, and we never know that there are visitors coming to the island. Could it be those wild people?"

After a long time, he answered immediately: "No."

The guard was confused: "Why not?"

Jiu Shihou: "Please pay attention to the wording of this girl—he is slashing wildly with a sword. Since he has a sword, how can he be a savage? The savages we have seen before can only use sticks and stones, not weapons."

The guard said: "Maybe it was snatched from us."

Jiu Shihou: "Then how do you explain that there is a girl calling him master? Would most people recognize a wild man as master?"

The guard scratched his head, "Perhaps that girl is not very smart."

After a long time: "How can a not very bright mind know not to reveal the identity of the master? I chatted with her for a long time, but she never said who her master is from the beginning to the end."

The guard murmured, "Maybe she doesn't have a master at all, she's just trying to divert attention."

"Smart." Jiu Shigou advocated encouraging teaching, but still pointed out mercilessly: "But you are wrong. She may not have a bright mind, but I am extremely smart. If she shows flaws, you think I will not see it." come out?"

The guard was speechless, and even felt that what Jiu Shigou said made sense.

Wu Ting has been observing silently for a long time.

A person like Wu Ting, who has been lying on the battlefield all year round, has always spoken and acted vigorously, and will never resort to words that can be solved with swords and guns, but this person is different. Wu Ting does not know what he was doing before he came here, but look. With such a powerful mouth, he must often deal with people.

What's more interesting is that Jiu Shigou has only known Wu Ting's men for three days, but he can already call everyone by name. When he was eating with them, he couldn't have imagined that he was pointed at by these guards two days ago. Pointing, even the creators of some of the deepest wounds on his body were sitting next to him, sharing the same pot of fish soup with him.

If he is really a secret agent sent by the enemy country, it will be a big trouble, Wu Ting secretly thought.

Jiu Shihou stood up at this moment, patted a young soldier beside him who was drinking soup and said, "Lin Jiang, I saw you dried some salt yesterday, can you lend me some?"

This soldier named 'Lin Jiang' was only in charge of cooking in the army because of his young age. He dried the salt to prevent the soup from being too bland, but this man didn't need to cook, so what did he need salt for?

Jiu Shi later knew that the boy was too timid to speak, so he said patiently, "I see you all rinse your mouths with ginger water, but I don't like the taste of sliced ​​ginger, so I want to borrow some salt and rinse your mouths with salt water."

"Give it to him." Wu Ting said.

The little soldier didn't dare to disobey the emperor's order, so he got up and ran away immediately.

Jiu Shigou's hand was still hanging in the air, he glanced at His Majesty, only to realize that His Majesty was also looking at him, his eyes seemed to be full of inquiry, Jiu Shigou gave him an awkward smile, and went on to the next guard to lend him a new one. A folded willow branch is used as a toothbrush.

As the night got darker, Wu Ting stood up and said to the guards who were warming around the fire and whispering: "Take turns to guard at night, don't let wild people and beasts approach, and the rest of you should rest early, and follow me to the mountainside tomorrow morning, don't delay."

Everyone packed them up rustlingly, and only stood aside for a long time, carefully studying a wooden toothbrush with a lot of burrs.

"Looks like I'll have to ask the owl to bring me a toothbrush tomorrow," he thought.

Early the next morning—Jiu Shigou thought it was still early, after all, the sun had just risen, but His Majesty and the brothers who surrounded the stove last night had already set off for the mountainside, only the little cook named Lin Jiang was lighting a fire and cooking a pot of something Soup.

"Are you up?" Lin Jiang saw Jiu Shi come out, and his mood brightened instantly.

"Did something good happen?" Jiu Shigou took a pinch of dew from the leaves and applied it unceremoniously on his face, as if he had washed his face.

"Why did you say that, sir?" Lin Jiang lowered his head, looking a little embarrassed.

After a long time, he has a very strong adaptability. He has almost gotten used to the behavior of these people, and even noticed many details that they have never noticed. For example, this little soldier has never seen him smile for a long time in the past three days. There are only a handful of times when the head is raised.

"When you saw me just now, the corner of your mouth moved. You wanted to smile but didn't. Why did you suppress yourself so much?" Jiu Shigou asked.

Lin Jiang was even more embarrassed, "I saw Mr. smiling because he smiled at me first, but I haven't smiled for many years, and I'm not used to laughing. Don't blame me, sir."

Although Jiu Shihou couldn't empathize with the suffering of this era, he still had great sympathy for the little soldier: "How long have you been with His Majesty?"

"His Majesty picked me up when he passed by our village, that was five years ago."

"how old are you?"

"Thirteen."

He is only 13 years old. In modern times, he has not even reached the age of criminal responsibility. It is a pity that he was born in troubled times and had to tie his head to the tip of a knife as a last resort. Even laughing has become a luxury. Kind of sad.

Suddenly there was a cry from the sky, and when I looked up, I saw the black and white creature coming again.

"Here, here is the power bank you asked for. It's fully charged for you." The owl dropped a brick-like object, which was caught by Jiu Shihou.

"You're not afraid of smashing your players to death." Jiu Shigou teased.

The owl fluttered its wings, "I really want to smash you to death, your examination room is messy and complicated, I don't want to come back at all."

"It's all here, why don't you sit down for a while?"

The owl's piercing eyes stared at the pot of soup that Lin Jiang was stirring, and it sucked its mouth, "You begged me to come down, it's not that I was threatened by bugs, don't be complacent!"

Jiu Shigou shook his head speechlessly, "Okay, I beg you."

The owl stopped on a section of fallen wood, and after a long time sat on half, it took up the other half, and Lin Jiang, the little cook, sat on the ground, staring at the owl intently.

"What are you looking at?" Owl had no good words as soon as he opened his mouth, "I have seen me every day for the past few months, haven't you seen enough?!"

Xiao Cook lowered his head in fright.

"Why are you intimidating him?" Jiu Shigou patted the owl on the head, "If you can't beat His Majesty, just play hard in front of his subordinates, can you have something to do?"

The owl snorted twice, "The system asked me to bring you a message, saying that if you can send the villain away as soon as possible, the next examination room can pick you a place that is a little easier and has more resources, so contestant Jiu Shi, I invite you Be positive."

"I haven't found the villain yet, it may take some time."

"What are you looking for?" The owl frowned again, "Didn't I tell you who the villain is?!"

"I found a candidate who is more like a villain."

"Who?!" Owl suddenly became curious.

"I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it. It's a vicious villain who likes to slash people everywhere with a sword."

The owl was full of anger, "Isn't this His Majesty Wu Ting?! Fierce, with a sword in hand, cutting people everywhere, isn't this him?!"

"...how is he so vicious?" Jiu Shigou glanced at the bloody hole on his leg that was poked out by His Majesty, "He is easy to slash people with a word of disagreement, but he doesn't seem to be so vicious, at most he is ruthless." .”

Xiao Cook couldn't help it, and said tremblingly: "Sir, before coming here, His Majesty has been called a 'white ghost' by the barbarians outside Tianshan."
