Luo Kong panted heavily, took three steps in parallel, and finally returned to the residence before dawn.

"Everyone is still sleeping..." Luo Kong murmured.

He tiptoed to the door of his own room, and opened the door cautiously, for fear of making any noise.

Luo Kong walked into the door and closed the door carefully.

He lit the tallow lamp on the table, and got ready for a good night's sleep.

Suddenly, Luo Kong stayed where he was.

I saw Li Qingyi sitting on the chair in front of the bed, sleeping soundly.

Luo Kong didn't know what to do for a while.

He simply moved a chair and quietly looked at Li Qingyi opposite.

The dim light emitted by the oil lamp did not conceal her beauty, but it seemed to cast a mysterious veil on her beautiful face. Li Qingyi is so beautiful at such a young age, and she must be a peerless beauty when she grows up. Beauty.

Luo Kong gradually stared in a daze, and he couldn't even feel his physical fatigue.

Luo Kong came back to his senses, a blush appeared on his face.

"Mother said you shouldn't think about it when you're under eighteen." Luo Kong reminded himself in his heart.

In fact, even if Luo Kong was really thinking about this kind of thing, he wouldn't do anything about it.

He knew that sooner or later he was going to leave, so he tried not to get in touch with others in normal times, and he didn't want to bring the disaster to others.

Seeing Li Qingyi sleeping so peacefully, Luo Kong couldn't bear to disturb him, so he took the quilt off the bed and covered Li Qingyi.

I am also ready to sit on the chair and fall asleep.

Li Qingyi slowly opened his eyes. In fact, he woke up just as Luo Kong entered the door. He just pretended to be asleep because of face.

But now that Luo Kong wanted to sleep, she had to "wake up".

"Student Kong, I think it's necessary for you to explain how the wound on your body came about." Li Qingyi's cheeks were bulging, making one feel the urge to pinch them.

Luo Kong smiled awkwardly, and said, "Just now when I went to the bathroom, I accidentally fell, and ended up with these injuries on my body. You said it was a mess. I'm really sorry to tell you." .

Li Qingyi was about to scold Luo Kong, but then she thought that she had no reason to do so.

She hesitated to speak and finally said: "It's dangerous outside, don't go out so late.".

She took out the medicine kit from the cabinet, treated Luo Kong's wound, then turned and left.

Luo Kong looked at Li Qingyi's back with a guilty expression on his face, and the words of apology remained in his mouth.

Luo Kong lay on the bed and slept until the afternoon full of guilt.

The first thing Luo Kong did after waking up was to find Ma Qing and tell him what happened last night.

"You mean... the army's knife skills are very similar to the bandits' knife skills we saw that night?".

Luo Kong nodded.

Ma Qing frowned, wondering what he was thinking?

"Where are the soldiers you saw now?"

"They... they were all killed by me." Luo Kong hemmed and said: "Uncle Ma, what, I won't get into trouble, right?"

Ma Qing breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Luo Kong happily, and said, "Fortunately, it's you, what would happen if those two boys, Barry and Roy, don't know."

He glanced around and said to Luo Kong: "Go back and pack your things, we're leaving now."

Luo Kong was a little puzzled and said, "Why? I don't even know the name of this city."

Ma Qing was a little depressed. He said to Luo Kong: "If we don't leave, we will all die here. We will talk about the specific things on the way."

Luo Kong immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, and immediately stopped talking nonsense.

He hurried to Li Qingyi's room, briefly told Li Qingyi what happened, and then went back to pack his things.

The entire mercenary regiment was called back from every corner of the city by Ma Qing. Although they were unwilling in their hearts, due to Ma Qing's usual prestige, they went to pack their things happily.

An hour later, all members of the "Plain Wolf" mercenary group packed up their belongings and packed up all their belongings.

The mercenaries are usually the ones who lick blood on the blades, and they know that things should not be too procrastinated. They discarded all the miscellaneous things they bought, leaving only the necessities needed for the journey.

This mercenary group of more than 300 people truly showed its plain wolf demeanor without the drag of the caravan.

Including the two teenagers Luo Kong and Li Qingyi, everyone was assigned two horses.

Each horse was hung with enough rations and drinking water for the rider to return to Tianhua City, that is to say, everyone received double rations.

In this way, unless the team is completely wiped out, they will never be troubled by food and water.

The order to go out of the city has also been processed, and they can all set off when Bajo gives an order.

This is what Ma Qing did in this hour, and this is the executive power of this plain wolf.

"Let's go!!" Bahuo yelled, and everyone left the city with the afterglow of the setting sun and the evening wind of the grassland.

With the sound of horseshoes, the 300-member mercenary group disappeared on the horizon of the grassland accompanied by billowing dust and smoke.

Bajo looked back and found that he could no longer see the city behind him.

"Anlu, apply the group wind control technique!" Bahuo shouted.

"Okay, Captain"

An Lu summoned his summoned beast, and a gust of wind blew across Luo Kong's face, and Luo Kong immediately felt the horse running faster under his crotch.

The summoned beast of the man named Anlu is a wind elf. This kind of wind elf summoner is usually used as a shooter or an assassin. There are not many wind elves as assistants like Anlu.

Ma Qing rode his horse and walked in the front.

His voice appeared in the ears of Bajo, Luo Kong and others:

"Do you know why I told all of you to pack up and leave Nakqin?"

No one answered Ma Qing's question.

Ma Qing continued: "Because Ah Kong discovered one thing, that is, the knife skills used by those bandits are exactly the same as those used by grassland soldiers. It is not uncommon for the knife skills to be exactly the same. Our mercenary group also knows a few tricks." Grassland soldiers' sword skills, but they are all fighting in the village will use the grassland soldiers' sword skills, which is enough to attract our attention."

Still no one in the horse team interrupted, they knew that Ma Qing still had something to say.

"Combined with the fact that there are two silver-level masters in that village, there is a wolf cavalry force of more than 300, and two gold-level masters, this lineup is enough for them to occupy a small city, but why don't they go? ?”.

Luo Kong pondered, "Ma Qing is right. No matter how you think about it, establishing a tribe and starting a small city is more secure than robbing everywhere, and the profit is not less than before. But why doesn't their leader How do you do that?".

Luo Kong had no way of knowing.

Ma Qing continued, "I have a guess, that is, it is not their own will that these people came here to block the road and rob, but someone just did it.".

Bajo thought for a while, and finally said:

"Indeed, if someone instigates it, all of this can be explained.".

Ma Qing then said:

"Everyone on the grassland respects the strong, and those who can order the gold-level strong and make them so obedient, are there only a few people on the grassland?"

Of course Luo Kong knew who the people they mentioned were, but he couldn't figure out which one of them it was.

"Could it be the Prairie King?"Roy was the first to ask the question, which was what Luo Kong wanted to say.

Ma Qing shook his head firmly and said:

"Won't.".

"why?".

"Because the king of the prairie has no reason to do so. Although the prairie is barren, the king of the prairie is not short of money. Every year, he uses herds of Mag cattle and Tahr sheep to exchange medicines, weapons and food with the caravans of the three neighboring countries. , wealth, decades of business accumulation has made him rich, he can't afford to do such a self-defeating thing."

Hearing what Ma Qing said, Luo Kong already knew the general idea in his heart.

"On the contrary, his brothers are too poor. You must know that the difference between the equipment of the Prairie Prince's army and that of the Prairie King's army is not 01:30. The brothers of the Prairie King just maintain such a large army. It’s already a lot of effort, where is the money to buy new equipment?”.

Ma Qing cleared his throat, and continued: "In normal times, their territories would hardly be invaded, and they would not need to send troops to suppress any country, so they could barely make ends meet. But if they are planning a war, they can If there is a big plan to change this grassland, the money in their hands will not be enough."

Bahuo took Ma Qing's words and continued: "So they need a source of money. Although it is a safe way to develop the tribal economy, they have no time to develop the economy, and the grassland king will not let their tribe become rich. Yes. So they need a stealthy way to make money. What's faster than robbery?".

"Not only that, those princes are not stupid, they know that they will be discovered sooner or later, so they only have three ways to quickly accumulate wealth in this way.".

"Which three?"

"Chop off the head, cut off the tail, and chop off the middle. The so-called head-punching means stealthily plundering the passing caravans and not letting anyone live. The reason why we were not killed by the wolf riders in the first place is probably because the strength of the prairie wolves cannot be tolerated." Look down on it."

Bajo smiled.

Ma Qing continued: "To cut the middle is to deafen and blind all the eyes and ears of the Prairie King. Buy as much as you can, and let him disappear from this world if you can't."

Luo Kong felt a chill in his heart, they were born from the same root, so why rush each other.

"Removing the tail is the most critical and important step, and that is to attack the Prairie King."

"Impossible, the Prairie King is still alive and well? Besides, who has such a great ability to kill the strong Prairie King with ten diamonds?" Barry shouted.

"Boy, I'm relieved to hear you say that, my daughter won't be bullied when she comes to your house."

Barry muttered in a low voice: "I wouldn't have been bullied."

Ma Qing laughed loudly, and then said: "It is not necessary to let the king of the grassland die now, or the king of the grassland must not die now. The king of the grassland is only in his sixties, and this gold-level summoner can live for more than five hundred years." If the King of the Prairie is dead now, his children will suspect that the princes did a good job, which is not good."

Ma Qing looked at the wild geese in the distance and said: "They may use some kind of slow poison to gradually weaken the strength of the grassland king and reduce his vitality, and when it is time to let him die, they can kill him without bloodshed up."

Li Qingyi looked at Ma Qing and said, "The grassland king's guards are so tight, how could they succeed?".

"Even your own brothers will betray, let alone the guards who are with you? Taking ten thousand steps back, the guards of the Prairie King are all dead soldiers of the Prairie King. They are only loyal to the Prairie King and only obey the orders of the Prairie King. How, who can not guarantee that his son, daughter, and princess will not kill him? When he reaches this point, the whole world will be on guard."

"How could it be? I heard that the Prairie Princess and the Prairie King are deeply in love with each other. When the Prairie King was weak, it was the Prairie Princess who accompanied the Prairie King step by step to where he is today."

Ma Qing looked at Li Qingyi and said, "Xiaoqing, you are just too simple. There is no such thing as a deep love between husband and wife in this world. The reason why the princess of the grassland can accompany the king of the grassland to conquer the entire grassland is because the tribe behind the princess of the grassland will His wealth and life are all on the grassland king."

Ma Qing cleared his throat, and continued: "However, these years, the Prairie King has also begun to weaken the tribal power of the Grassland Princess, and the people whose interests have been manipulated are the craziest. I am afraid that those princes who say that they want to change the dynasty, the Grassland Princess will be the first." Stand up and help them."

"Princess Grassland is just a woman, how could she be so scheming?".

"Don't underestimate women, especially don't underestimate women who can be a princess, you must know: Sleeping with a tiger, there is no good beast.".

"My God, I don't believe in love anymore."

"You really need to take care of yourself, but there may still be love. If you meet it, you must cherish it.".

Hearing this, Luo Kong couldn't help feeling infinite admiration for Ma Qing.It is not easy for Ma Qing to judge so many things based on just a few clues.

But at the same time, Luo Kong also began to have infinite reverie about the future of this beautiful grassland.

The situation in the grassland will change in the future, but Luo Kong doesn't think that the king of the grassland will sit and wait for death like Ma Qing said. A man who can be a king is more terrifying than a woman who can be a princess.After all: Although the evil beast sleeps with the tiger, it still needs to put away its fangs, so that it is three points afraid of the tiger.

No matter how the future situation changes, as long as the Prairie King is not dead, the Prairie King will still belong to the Prairie King. He is like a needle that holds the sea, firmly controlling the entire grassland.

As the sun set, Luo Kong and the others gradually disappeared on the horizon.

Three days later, Luo Kong and the others galloped on the grassland, only resting for three hours a day, and spent almost the rest of the time on their way.

Luo Kong and the others have already passed the village of the bandits they saw before. The difference is that they have all gone to the house now.Ma Qing and Luo Kong went in to investigate again, and found that the situation was basically consistent with what Ma Qing said.

Now the little bit of luck that Ma Qing had in mind was gone. They had offended one or several of the largest tribes on the grassland, and they might not be able to come back until the grassland had a new king.

Another day passed.

Ma Qing held the map and looked at the surrounding terrain.

"One hundred miles ahead, Yanhua Pass will pass. We have to work harder to pass the pass before resting."

Bahuo nodded, smiled and patted Ma Qing on the shoulder:

"Old man, you are really good, I listen to you. I am really relieved to have a partner like you.".

Ma Qing slapped Bahuo's hand off and said, "You sound so nice, why don't you give me the position of head of the regiment.".

"This is not good, this is my son's position, you are not allowed to grab it."

Ma Qing slapped Bahuo with a smile, and the group members booed after him.

Yanhua Pass is the gateway to the northern end of Tianhua Kingdom. From Tianhua Kingdom to the west, it connects with the White Tiger Empire, one of the four great empires.To the north, one can enter the depths of the grassland without hindrance, reaching the tribe of the king of the grassland.To the east is the largest port of Tianhua Kingdom, which communicates with the only island country in the Seven Kingdoms.

Yanhua Pass is a thousands of miles long city wall that protects all the northern regions of Tianhua.

There are 20 Yanhua troops in Yanhua Pass, which are used to reject the grassland in the north.

Therefore, it is by no means empty talk that you will be safe after entering Yanhua Pass.

Luo Kong and the others were non-stop, as long as they entered the Tianhua Kingdom, everything would be easy.

The horse team set off bursts of grass clippings and disappeared into the horizon with the sound of rumbling horseshoes.

On the clouds, a golden-winged albatross was circling in the sky behind Luo Kong and the others, and there was a person standing on the back of the albatross.

The man was dressed in fluttering white clothes, but he had a wretched face.

He took out a piece of jade slip from his bosom, and said something to that piece of jade slip:

"The target will enter Yanhuaguan within a hundred miles, and we have to act."

"Please file a detailed strength assessment."

"There is a gold level, a silver level, and more than 300 bronze and black iron levels on the opposite side.".

At this time, another voice sounded: "This... the idea is a bit tricky, we only have three gold ranks, I'm afraid it's not enough to fight them.".

"Are you stupid? The Ninth Prince just asked us to cause trouble for that kid, and tie him back if we have the chance. It's not that we want us to destroy this mercenary group."

"Makes sense"

"Talk to your pig teammates, really."

A simple and honest laughter came from the jade slip.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get ready."

……

Luo Kong looked up at the sky, for some reason, he always felt that something would happen today.

"What's wrong?".

Li Qingyi rode his horse close to Luo Kong.

"nothing.".

Luo Kong didn't express his intuition because he didn't think it was necessary.
