Peerless Tang Sect's Shepherd Star Silver Dragon

Chapter 122 Bandits
  Si Muqing was sitting in a carriage, holding her cheek with her left hand in a fist and grimacing: "Why do we have to go on a mission at this time? When I get back, Na'er has already left, and I won't even be able to see her for the last time."

"Classmate Mu Qing, I'm very sorry for disturbing your time with Na'er." Yeyun apologized sincerely with a guilty look on her face.

"Alas! Yeyun, what are you apologizing for? I don't blame you. You can neither affect the mission nor the choices of your teammates." Si Muqing looked at Yeyun.

"She has her own life, subordinates, and ideals. She can't always be by my side. I knew this from the beginning." Si Muqing shrugged, "Actually, this is fine. I don't like the parting scene either. You can just call me Mu Qing, and we will continue to cooperate for a long time in the future."

Si Muqing and Yeyun were on a surveillance mission together. They found a caravan and took a ride.

"Why are there so many levels?" Si Muqing opened the curtains and looked outside.

In a stretch of less than ten kilometers, the caravan has passed five checkpoints.

The checkpoint is very simple, just a thick log lying across the road. A group of fully armed soldiers are collecting fees on the roadside. The cold light on their weapons flashes and there is a faint fluctuation of soul power.

"Looking at the coat of arms on their armor, they belong to Viscount Boer." Yeyun said thoughtfully, "This is almost to the territory of Viscount Boer, and beyond that is the territory of Dou Ling Empire. In the city that was supplied earlier , the hottest thing is that a big shot is assassinated on the road, and the entire area is marked red."

"So this is to prevent danger? It seems that this viscount is still doing his job well, but he is suspected of making money." Si Muqing said with a bad expression, "And it is not good for passers-by. One level charges ten gold soul coins. , why don’t they grab it!”

After hearing Si Muqing's words, questions flashed through Yeyun's heart.

Si Muqing withdrew his gaze and looked at Yeyun: "Yeyun, are you a noble? How do you understand the coat of arms of a noble?"

Yeyun suppressed the doubts in her heart and replied: "No, these aristocratic knowledge was taught to me by my mother, who once worked as a servant in a noble family."

"Do servants of nobles need to know such troublesome knowledge as heraldry? Can you introduce me to the knowledge of these heraldry?" Si Muqing's smile was as bright as the sun, and he used this topic to get closer to Yeyun.

"I can tell you, but this kind of knowledge is of no use to you." Yeyun smiled brightly and followed Si Muqing's topic.

One of them wanted to attract his Qixing, and the other wanted to get closer, so they continued this topic.

Both of them are upright and upright, their personalities are quite compatible, and they have the same views on various issues, so they have the feeling that they meet each other late and have a close friend.

Si Muqing and Yeyun looked outside the carriage at the same time.

"You two, we are in some trouble now, please get out of the car!" the guard captain shouted outside with his rough and heroic manner.

Si Muqing smiled at Yeyun: "Please!"

When hitching a ride, the caravan made an agreement in advance that they would need to help when facing danger.

The two people got off the carriage, which had already left its original path. They found a hill with a wide view, formed a triangle, and used the carriage as a simple shelter to withstand the impact and fire.

Among the hundreds of guards in the caravan, except for those who left as road scouts, the rest were armed with weapons and standing guard near the carriage.

"Uncle, what's going on? Are you suddenly on guard?" Si Muqing and Yeyun followed the burly and unshaven man on guard.

The strong man's mouth twitched when he heard the word "uncle" and said: "My name is George, I am twenty years old!"

George emphasized the twenty-year-old's voice and pointed to the caravan center.

"Did you see that black-haired young man? It was because of what he said to Director John that the caravan stopped being on guard." George had a very dissatisfied look on his face.

While talking to Si Muqing and Yeyun, George led them to line up to receive weapons.

Si Muqing didn't take anything, but Yeyun took a big sword. "Are you the Fourth Ring Soul Sect?" George looked at Yeyun in horror.

Yejun nodded silently.

"Wait a moment." George said respectfully and left in a hurry.

"Mu Qing, something is wrong." Yeyun approached Si Mu Qing and lowered her voice.

Si Muqing held the Mu Xing Sword and immediately opened spiritual communication after hearing Ye Yun's words.

"What's wrong?" Si Muqing asked her.

"I looked around. It's not far from the Les River. It's on the edge of Viscount Kalke's territory in the Sky Soul Empire, and it's close to Viscount Boer's territory."

"I bought a map of the city in front of me. I clearly remember that there are three villages nearby, as well as some noble manors. It is relatively densely populated. It is surrounded by mountains, forests and swamps to the north and south. Except for the west, it is not suitable. Escape, generally speaking, this is a place that thieves will never choose as an ambush." ​​Yeyun analyzed with a serious face, holding the big sword tightly in his palm.

Si Muqing had to admit that he was inferior to Yeyun in terms of acuity. He outlined the terrain in his mind, which happened to be in the shape of a funnel.

"But Director John will not make decisions without reason, so there is some situation that makes him think that we may be attacked by bandits." Si Muqing asked.

Yeyun looked into the distance: "Mu Qing, can your mental perception be three kilometers away? Take a look at the caravans in front and behind us. I remember that there were many caravans when we just passed the checkpoint, and the crowds were crowded."

"Lonely Sheep?" Si Muqing withdrew all his mental perception and probed in one direction.

The farther away the spiritual perception was, the more solemn Si Muqing's face became.

"No, the current caravan is a veritable lone sheep." Si Muqing told Yeyun, lone sheep refers to a caravan or pedestrians that are out of touch, and lone sheep are the favorite targets of bandits.

Yeyun said without hope: "I hope we won't encounter bandits. This way the situation will be better, otherwise we won't have to expect reinforcements."

"Are you worried about the gangster family?" Si Muqing suddenly realized.

Yeyun didn't answer, obviously acquiescing.

"Miss Yejun, Lord..." George rushed over and saw the four soul rings on Si Muqing's body. He choked on the words and was horrified in his heart.

"Brother George!" Si Muqing waved in front of George and shouted loudly.

George came back to his senses and quickly added: "And Mr. Mu Qing, the supervisor invites you to come."

Si Muqing and Yeyun looked at each other and followed George to see Director John.

In the middle of the caravan, John was discussing with the black-haired young man.

"I've met the supervisor." Si Muqing and Yeyun bowed.

"Are these two top students from Shrek Academy?" John didn't tactfully ask about their origins. Two fellow travelers who had hidden their strength jumped out of the caravan. Of course, they had to ask clearly.

"I can't be called a top student, I'm just an ordinary member of the college." Si Muqing said modestly.
