Because there are no safe strongholds or towns along this route, they have to spend the night in the wild tonight, and the twelve hours in the wild, especially the second half of the night, are the most dangerous time.
It's not that it's impossible to travel at night. There are twenty bodyguards and there are many people who can drive. It's just that the visibility at night is too poor. If you travel at night, you will easily be ambushed by the enemy.
Although it is not safe to spend the night in the wild, in comparison, one is unprepared and the other is prepared. As long as they are experienced bodyguards, they will not choose to rush at night.
"Mr. Ning, Miss Liu, you can rest here tonight, we will protect your safety."
A bodyguard said to the two of them respectfully.
Before setting off, Nicholas deliberately told them that if Ning Beichen and Liu Yilin lost a hair, they would not have to come back.
"Thank you for your hard work, brothers."
Ning Beichen didn't show any arrogance towards them, and seemed very approachable.
Although Ning Beichen called them brothers, these bodyguards did not dare to really call Ning Beichen brothers.
Although they did not see the bloody scene of Ning Beichen training Nicholas in the wind nest, their ears were numb when they heard it, knowing that the man and woman in front of them did not even dare to offend Nicholas.
However, there was only one tent. I don’t know if the bodyguards thought they were a couple or for safety reasons, they did not arrange a second tent for them.
"Boss, let's make do with it tonight, the conditions in the wild are not very good."
Ning Beichen was worried that Liu Yilin would think too much, so he said to her.
Liu Yilin nodded, but did not ask for a second tent, or even let Ning Beichen go out.
Night falls.
Twenty bodyguards are divided into three shifts for protection, with clear division of labor and rich experience. Some are responsible for sentry, some are responsible for cleaning up the surroundings, and some are responsible for ambushes. Some are even equipped with night vision goggles, and they are very sophisticated.
So when Nicholas said that they are the elite of the elite, he is not just talking nonsense. These people are indeed the most experienced bodyguards in the Wind Nest.
Ning Beichen took a look at their arrangement and found no shortcomings, so he went into the tent with confidence.
However, the tent was not very big, so it was quite inconvenient for the two of them to stay inside, especially Liu Yilin was a girl.
So Liu Yilin got under the quilt early and looked at Ning Beichen with blinking eyes. She was a little scared, but also a little expectant.
Ning Beichen was a little timid. He did not get into bed, but sat down from the entrance of the tent. He planned to deal with it like this tonight.
The reason why he is sitting here is not only to prevent Liu Yilin from misunderstanding, but also because if something really happens at night, he can respond immediately.
And how did Ning Beichen know that in Liu Yilin's eyes, his avoidance of suspicion meant that there was no three hundred taels of silver in this place.
In Liu Yilin's mind, this guy Ning Beichen had slept with her a long time ago, so why was he pretending now?
However, as a girl, she was too embarrassed to ask Ning Beichen to come over and sleep with her. She looked a little worried about gain and loss while nestled under the quilt. She was afraid that this guy would show his bestiality, but she was also a little angry that this guy was indifferent.
Could it be that a beautiful woman like him didn't have any temptation for him?
In terms of beauty and figure, Liu Yilin feels that she is not inferior to Ye Yaer, or some princess or some beautiful earl. Liu Yilin still has a certain degree of confidence in her own beauty.
But the guy who usually acted like a lecher in the company, now faced her, a beautiful woman, like a big fool, which made Liu Yilin so angry that she wanted to crawl out of bed and beat him up.
In fact, it's not that Ning Beichen lacks courage, but that he has never thought about conquering Liu Yilin, an iceberg that no one should enter.
What's more, in such a dangerous environment, even if he is a lustful evil spirit, he would not dare to mess around at this time.
It was calm in the first half of the night, and everyone began to become a little drowsy, especially when it was close to 12 o'clock in the morning, when people's spirits are the most relaxed.
But Liu Yilin couldn't let Ning Beichen go. After scolding him for being a fool countless times in her heart, she couldn't help but fall asleep.
Ning Beichen, who was sitting far from the entrance of the tent, suddenly saw his ears twitching because he heard some unusual footsteps.
It's not unusual to hear footsteps, because there are bodyguards patrolling outside, but if the footsteps are deliberately slowed down, there will be a problem.
If you are one of your own, there is no need to slow down. Only enemies who want to sneak up here will slow down.
But Ning Beichen couldn't judge yet, and didn't want to make a fuss just because he heard some footsteps.
But the danger must be guarded against, so Ning Beichen became vigilant, but he did not leave the tent, because for him, protecting Liu Yilin was his important responsibility.
Ning Beichen heard it right. Not far from them, about forty or fifty armed enemies had appeared, and these enemies were quietly approaching their camp.
A bodyguard protecting Ning Beichen was patrolling a fixed route. Suddenly, a hand covered his mouth from behind, and then a knife slashed his neck.
Kill with one knife!
The bodyguard was pushed into the grass.
Just when he thought no one had noticed, Ning Beichen's voice suddenly came from the camp.
"Be careful, there is an enemy sneak attack!"
Ning Beichen shouted, causing the bodyguards to wake up immediately, and soon heard gunshots one after another in the dark night.
Liu Yilin was also awakened by the gunfire. Before she could get up from the bed, she saw Ning Beichen rolling to her side and pressing her down with his body.
Liu Yilin was shocked, thinking that Ning Beichen was going to show his bestiality towards her, so she hurriedly struggled.
"Ning Beichen, what are you going to do? Don't... don't mess around."
"Boss, don't talk. There are enemies attacking outside."
Ning Beichen said close to her ear.
At this moment, another burst of gunfire came from outside. At this time, Liu Yilin became as frightened as a bird and quickly grabbed Ning Beichen's hand.
"Boss, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Ning Beichen comforted her softly.
Liu Yilin gradually calmed down and blushed a little because of her thoughts. Fortunately, there was no light in the tent and her face could not be seen.
Da da da da…
In the dark night, the gunshots began to become more and more intensive, and it was obvious that there were many enemies sneaking up on them.
As for the twenty bodyguards who protected Ning Beichen, except for two who were assassinated, several others were also shot.
