Chapter 360 is wonderful
"Yes!"
The person came quickly and left quickly, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight. The deputy general withdrew his gaze and looked at Yan Xiaoyi.
He saw everything that happened just now and felt a little confused, but he quickly suppressed his doubts. It was none of his business!
After the visitor left, Yan Xiaoyi calmly put away the letter, grabbed the reins, and gave instructions in a loud voice.
"Keep patrolling!"
As mentioned before, there was only a small area left to be patrolled, so they completed the patrol quickly.
But what surprised the deputy general was that Yan Xiaoyi had not yet given the order to turn back, and was still leading the team forward slowly.
The deputy general couldn't help but open his mouth to remind him.
"Sir, if you go any further, it will no longer be the territory we patrol."
Yan Xiaoyi reined in his horse upon hearing this, and everyone followed suit.
"I'm going to kill someone."
"?"X18
The deputy general was a little confused.
"What did your Excellency say?"
Yan Xiaoyi looked at him quietly and repeated it again.
"I said, I'm going to kill someone! You guys come with me."
"..."
The deputy general was stunned for a moment. He didn't quite believe Yan Xiaoyi's words.
A border general wants to kill someone for no apparent reason? Why is he suddenly going crazy? What does this mean?
He looked at Yan Xiaoyi with a serious expression and spoke.
"My Lord, are you planning to flee privately?"
Yan Xiaoyi frowned.
"Kill one person and come back! I have already made arrangements in the camp."
"..."
Are you really going to kill someone? This...
After a moment's silence, the deputy general had to remind again.
"Border troops crossing the border is a serious crime!"
Yan Xiaoyi smiled and looked away.
"If I leave on my own, you will all be implicated and your lives will be in danger! Wait until I kill everyone and then come back to the camp. I will ensure that you are all safe!"
After a pause, he continued.
"If you don't want to go, you can leave on your own!"
Upon hearing this, the deputy general frowned. What he meant was that he was going to go, and the choices left for them were: one was to go with him, which would be a serious crime but not necessarily punishable by death; one was not to go with him, and then wait to be implicated and then executed; the third was to flee privately, and then wait to be wanted by the whole Qing Kingdom and then executed.
"..."
Damn it, if I don’t follow, I’ll die!
Do I need to tell you how to choose? Damn it!
The deputy general gritted his teeth, looked back at his confused and bewildered brothers, thought for a moment, looked at Yan Xiaoyi coldly and asked.
"Who are you going to kill, sir?"
Yan Xiaoyi curled the corners of his mouth, then quickly calmed down and tilted his head to look at him.
"Don't ask any more questions, just follow me!"
The deputy general looked at him coldly and quickly changed the question.
"Where to go?"
"Cangzhou!"
This time Yan Xiaoyi spoke very directly and even added one more sentence.
"The people we want to kill will pass through Cangzhou on their way to Northern Qi!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves was heard.
The fifth group of people is officially online!
……
After leaving Cangzhou, the delegation marched slowly and steadily towards the north, escorted by the black cavalry that appeared and disappeared in the distance.
Strictly speaking, Northern Qi was not located due north of Qing, but northeast. At the junction of the two countries there was a vast unnamed lake. On the left side of the lake was a large area of autonomous and powerless vassal states, and on the right side was a large wasteland.
And on the easternmost coast there is the largest city in the world and the most prosperous seaport - Dongyi City!
Theoretically, if one wants to reach Northern Qi quickly, the easiest and most convenient route is to take the route through the vassal states. However, when planning the route, Fan Xian immediately rejected this option, and the reason was very simple.
Because the more cities you pass through, the harder it is to defend against!
As for going through Dongyi City, that was even more impossible. After all, the exchange of hostages was a secret agreement between Qing Kingdom and Northern Qi.
What if Si Gu Jian, the former idiot and now the grandmaster, suddenly goes crazy?
After all, both sides have been putting the blame on each other!
If he suddenly went crazy and caused a war among the three kingdoms, who would be responsible? Who could bear the consequences?
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons again and again, the mission's route was to first go north along the wilderness, then detour east when reaching the big lake, and finally head north again.
This route is a bit roundabout, the distance is longer, and it takes more time, but it is quieter.
There's no need to worry about those things. Apart from... maybe some non-staff woodcutters from Shubi Lake showing up, there shouldn't be any big forces with bad intentions targeting them.
Of course, the last sentence only represents Fan Xian’s personal opinion, and Mei Cheng’an just didn’t refute it.
During the last leg of the journey, the delegation felt inexplicably dull. Perhaps it was because the monotonous desolate scene made people feel irritated. Everyone fell into silence at the same time, and each of them had their own reasons for being silent.
Mei Cheng'an remained silent, completely led by Si Lili.
Si Lili remained silent because she didn't want to end the journey, and Mei Chengan could do nothing about it, so he also remained silent.
Of course, neither of them said anything, and Mei Chengan deliberately avoided Si Lili's various eye signals.
So Si Lili remained silent, and her eyes were filled with resentment. …
In the hideous prison van, Fan Xian was giving acupuncture, Sean was resting with his eyes closed, and Mei Cheng'an was covering his mouth and nose and looking out the window quietly.
After a moment, Fan Xian gently pulled out the needle, skillfully peeled off the cloth strip with one hand and pressed the wound, while quietly looking at Sean.
Judging from his facial features alone, Sean is now much thinner and weaker than when he just came out of the Supervisory Council prison, and looks even more terrifying. It seems that the intravenous injection has indeed caused him great trauma.
As if he had noticed his gaze, Sean suddenly opened his eyes, and two rays of cold light that seemed to be real shot towards him.
After waiting for a while and seeing Sean still not speaking, Fan Xian smiled.
"Why are you looking at me like that, Senior?"
Sean spoke in a dull, cold voice.
"How long will you continue to poison me like this?"
Fan Xian smiled slightly.
"Naturally, it will continue until I feel I can stop."
Sean asked with an even colder look.
"When was that?"
"Um…"
Fan Xian tilted his head as if thinking, then shrugged after a moment.
"Maybe tomorrow? Maybe the day after tomorrow? Or maybe... I'm not sure. Don't worry, senior. I'll let you know when the time comes."
Looking at his annoying smile, Sean snorted coldly and slowly closed his eyes.
Although Mei Cheng'an didn't look at the two of them, he curled the corners of his mouth inexplicably.
Fan Xian smiled and didn't care. He took a look at the needle hole, and when he saw that the bleeding had stopped, he began to wipe the silver needle quietly.
Sean suddenly asked with his eyes closed.
"Are those cavalrymen following far behind us the group of black devils under Chen Pingping's command?"
Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, and Mei Chengan's faint voice rang out.
"That's right. The group of people who raided thousands of miles and captured the seniors and brought them back to Qing Kingdom are the ancestors of this cavalry team."
The incident many years ago when Chen Pingping led the Black Cavalry to raid his son's wedding and abducted him alive to Qing Kingdom was the greatest shame of Sean's life and also brought him indelible trauma.
Sean snorted coldly and suddenly changed the subject.
"When are you going to kill me?"
There is a huge jump and no connection between this question and his previous one, and his emotions are even more incoherent.
This method is actually a surprise attack, which implies some kind of psychological hypnosis. If it were an ordinary person, he might have subconsciously jumped into the pit he dug, but unfortunately, Mei Chengan and Fan Xian are not ordinary people, and they often use this trick.
After seconds, Mei Chengan looked at him in confusion.
"what?"
Fan Xian also looked surprised and confused.
"What? Senior, are you confused? We are sending you back to Northern Qi."
Sean didn't open his eyes, but he suddenly laughed, and laughed loudly. After a moment, the laughter stopped abruptly, and there was appreciation in his tone.
"You two reacted very quickly and sincerely. You almost fooled me. But unfortunately, I know Chen Pingping very well. He will not... let me return to the north alive."
Mei Cheng'an shrugged and continued to look out the window. He had cooperated with the performance and left the rest to Fan Xian.
There is really no need to say a few more words or show off your talents at this time. You should give them more opportunities to communicate.
Fan Xian sighed and shook his head speechlessly.
"We don't know what the dean thinks, and we are too lazy to think about what the older generation thinks. We just focus on doing our own thing."
Hearing this, Sean suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him. After looking at him carefully for a few times, he curled the corners of his mouth and said softly.
"You're good, young man!"
Fan Xian was stunned for a moment and smiled shyly.
"Thank you for your praise, but why do you say that?"
Sean said calmly.
"You have never stopped practicing twice a day, early in the morning and late at night. I'm afraid I couldn't match your perseverance even when I was young."
Fan Xian was secretly shocked. Even though Sean was locked in an airtight iron box reinforced with two layers of iron plates, he was still able to know everything about the outside world. The situation of the Black Knights was like this, and so was his own cultivation situation. It was truly amazing.
However, although he was frightened, it did not stop Fan Xian from showing an embarrassed smile and speaking modestly.
"Senior, you are too kind. How dare I compete with you? I am just an early bird that catches the worm. I know that I am not strong enough and I am not talented enough, so I must work hard on my training."
Sean shook his head.
"You are wrong. You have good talent and strong willpower, but you have never challenged a strong person alone, so you cannot stimulate the true strength in your body."
After a pause, he said earnestly.
"In fact, your strength is already very strong. If you want to go further, you can only rely on training..." Sean shook his head, "Too slow! At this time, fighting against strong people alone to stimulate your potential is the fastest way."
"Forehead…"
Fan Xian didn't doubt the truth of what he said. The content was simple and straightforward and easy to understand. There was nothing to doubt.
But he doubted this guy's motives. He forced poison into his mouth, but not only did he not bear a grudge, he also repaid him with kindness and gave him advice?
What's the bad thing about this?
As his eyes flickered, Fan Xian's expression suddenly became a little strange.
The first strong man I have to face alone is probably this guy, which is... wonderful!
