It's night, the stars are dotted, dotting the mysterious starry sky.
Soon, the disc in the sky parted the dark clouds and emerged.
Under the bright moon, even without firelight, the town of Zhihuo was illuminated brightly.
Gu Shi and his cavalry were eating the dry food they had brought with them. They scanned the crowd and suddenly noticed something. He quickly waved his hand to summon his men and asked:
"Where has Wu Yuan gone?"
"I don't know, but Master Wuyuan doesn't seem to inform us of his itinerary."
"Huh! Sooner or later, I have to sue her to Marquis Pingjiang!"
Gu Shi snorted coldly, but he thought that Wu Yuan was not under his control in the first place. He was always elusive, so he didn't really take Wu Yuan's disappearance seriously.
…
…
Mountain.
Next to the Glory Stone, a simple fire rack was set up on a dry stone. After a while, a crackling sound came from the fire.
Lu Ming carefully turned the barbecue and poked it with a branch from time to time. After confirming that every part was cooked, he tore the game in half and handed it to Linglong, who was already drooling.
"It's so delicious. I didn't expect you to have such skills."
"They all have good family education and have been self-reliant since childhood."
"That's not right, you are Suchuan..."
Before Linglong could say the word "Jun Shang" behind her, Lu Ming stuffed the roast meat into his mouth with quick eyes and hands, and he could only whimper with dissatisfaction.
"Shh!"
Lu Ming pointed behind Linglong. A woman in black appeared unknowingly on the rocks next to her. She was silent and made no sound. She was a good material for an assassin.
"You are very courageous. The bones and food are down there, and you actually dare to light a fire and barbecue." Seeing the two people looking over, Wu Yuan didn't hide it. He tapped his toes, and his figure gently floated beside the two of them.
"In the Fireweaver Realm, there are fires rising from the cracks of unknown stones all year round. It is very common for flames to appear."
Linglong frowned and glanced at Wu Yuan, moved to Lu Ming's side, took a bite of the barbecue, handed the remaining part back to Lu Ming, and glared: "Here you are, finish eating!"
"..."
Lu Ming silently took the barbecue, looking at the part that was torn off by the girl's silver teeth, which was still slightly moist. He silently placed it on the fire, and explained to Linglong:
"I don't like to waste food, but I prefer to eat burnt food."
Linglong snorted coldly and didn't want to pay attention to this guy. She obviously disliked him, but she still said it so high-sounding that he was just as hateful and annoying as those outsiders.
Wu Yuan looked at the two people who were minding their own business and didn't feel scared at all because of her arrival. He couldn't help but feel surprised and asked: "Are you worried about me going down and telling Gu Shi?"
"Asking for others and doing things that ordinary people don't do, you must have a big plan. You have so many thoughts, how could you see us being caught in vain." Before Lu Ming could say anything, Linglong snorted and left.
He looked sideways at Wu Yuan with an expression that said he had already seen through everything.
Yes, you have seen through this foxy girl, but don’t hide it anymore.
"So, you all saw everything I did on the mountain?"
Wu Yuan became interested and sat cross-legged next to the two of them without any panic, and said: "However, you may have misunderstood. I saved your people because Zhi Huo has worked tirelessly to suppress the Earth Fire for five hundred years. This
For such an achievement, every Suchuan citizen in the outside world should be grateful to your people."
"If it weren't for you fire weavers suppressing the earth fire, maybe the people of Suchuan would have disappeared in the long river of history starting from my great grandfather's generation."
What Wu Yuan said was sincere, and his solemn expression didn't seem to be fake at all. His serious look seemed like he was about to bow on the spot to express his gratitude to the fire weaver.
"The Fireweavers do what the Fireweavers should do, and it has nothing to do with outsiders like you."
Linglong still didn't trust this woman, so she curled her lips and said, "You found yourself here alone in the middle of the night. You obviously have bad intentions."
As he spoke, he poked the silent Lu Ming twice with his elbow. At this time, it was time to come out and say a few words.
Didn't I analyze a lot of boss during the day?
Lu Ming glanced at Linglong quietly, then looked away, still looking at his barbecue seriously, as if pondering whether it would burn or not.
Linglong secretly gritted her teeth, reached out to take out the barbecue, and angrily stuffed it into Lu Ming's mouth.
"I'm so hot!"
Linglong smiled happily, but soon froze because Wu Yuan next to her took out a handkerchief from her arms and handed it to Lu Ming, "Here, wipe your mouth."
Her voice is soft and gentle, like a sweet sister who cares about her injured brother.
Linglong glared angrily, stretched out her sleeves and placed them beside Lu Ming.
"..."
Lu Ming glanced at the two of them and very honestly chose the girl's sleeve to wipe his mouth.
Since the girl doesn't care, then he shouldn't care either. Outsiders are still outsiders after all.
But... since when did Linglong become one of our own?
Damn, this girl is poisonous!
The corner of Lu Ming's mouth twitched slightly. He was shocked by his magical brain circuit. He hurriedly suppressed his thoughts and looked at Wu Yuan, "Let's talk about business. Let's make a deal. You help us get rid of the bone food below, and we will help you solve it.
Things you need to fix."
After looking at the barbecue and thinking for a while, he figured it out.
This woman most likely came because of the God Lord. From the moment she walked out, her eyes were mainly on Linglong. It can be seen that this woman does not seem to know her identity as Lord Suchuan.
Or maybe, you know, but you are not interested in a king who has no real power.
It was a bit sad to say that a master in charge of Suchuan was not as attractive as a girl from a rural tribe, but Lu Ming felt that this was very close to the truth, otherwise this woman would not be interested in talking to him.
The following actions can better explain this mentality. After all, if you want to please a king, the most correct thing to do is to go to the royal capital, rather than coming to this remote country to rescue a few fire weavers.
"Deal? You know what I need?"
Wu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, carefully examining the relationship between the two, and finally asked Lu Ming.
"I don't know, and I can't finish it."
Lu Ming shook his head slightly, looked at Wu Yuan whose expression changed slightly, and continued: "Linglong is not the God Lord now, so there is no point knowing what you need. I guess what you want to do must be done by a real God Lord.
, otherwise you who came to Zhihuo first would have kidnapped Linglong."
Wu Yuan was slightly silent after hearing this, as if he was silent about Lu Ming's speculation. After a moment, he asked: "It is said that the power of the God Lord can cure all injuries and illnesses in the world. What do you think?"
It seems that this is saving people... Lu Ming muttered in his heart, but he still shook his head and said, "I don't have any opinion. I am not a divine master. There has not been a divine master in Suchuan for five hundred years, so to be honest, the divine master I know is not the same as the divine master."
You also read it from classics and history books."
It is also a classic book. As the Suchuan royal family who share the same honor and glory with the God Lord, they must have collected it more comprehensively and closer to the truth, but Lu Ming did not intend to tell this woman these things.
Well-known authority is the best authority.
Although it is not yet known whether this woman knows his identity as Lord, he is not stupid enough to expose himself to others.
Wu Yuan was silent for a while after hearing this. She looked up at the moon and admired the scenery. She took a bottle of wine from her waist and drank it. Then she handed it to the two of them. They were unmoved before she hummed and said.
"I can't help you kill Gu Shi. He is a general under Pingjiang Marquis and has a position in the army. If he dies here, Pingjiang Marquis will have reason to launch a large-scale army. For you Zhihuo, only
It will be a more cruel disaster."
It cannot be killed, which means it can help to cause trouble in the mainland.
Lu Ming understood the meaning of these words, nodded slightly, and asked directly: "If Gu Shi is injured, can his cavalry listen to you?"
"I can't help you command Gu Shi's subordinates and let you leave. Then when I go back, it will be no different than dead." Wu Yuan took a sip of wine and continued.
The two in a row couldn't listen and Linglong was a little irritated. Thinking that the clan members were still in custody below and that life and death were under the control of outsiders, she felt a little anxious. She stood up immediately.
"You can't do this, you can't do that, so what can you do for us?"
"That depends on what you want to do."
"you!"
Lu Ming stood up and held Linglong down, pulled out his sword from his waist, and pointed it at Wu Yuan, "Don't get me wrong, I mean after I injured Gu Shi, can the cavalry be restrained when I hold you hostage?"
"you!"
Wu Yuan's breath stagnated, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he subconsciously pulled out the sword from his waist. He almost swung it with his arm thrown back, but he quickly restrained himself and coldly snorted: "It depends on whether the bone-eating guy is injured."
How serious it is, if he is unable to fight again, according to Pingjiang Marquis’s rules, his cavalry will naturally be under my control."
"I understand. In that case, you can go back first and just cooperate a little tomorrow."
Lu Ming took back his sword and spoke.
"Are you so confident in hurting Gu Shi? He knows the art of mind." Wu Yuan asked in surprise, but his eyes swept over Linglong and another possibility came to his mind, "Is it because of her?"
Lu Ming did not answer, but looked at Linglong, who raised her face consciously, "You will know tomorrow what we will do, so just tell us whether you are willing to cooperate?!"
"... I wish you good luck." Wu Yuan was silent for a long time, not choosing to ask the question. He turned around and moved around a few times before his figure disappeared into the night.
After confirming that Wu Yuan left, Linglong looked slightly satisfied, turned around and winked at Lu Ming, and asked: "What should we do? Do you want me to transform? But I don't know how to transform yet..."
The only way Linglong could think of was to transform into a god. After all, Lu Ming said that after she transformed before, she could crush the fire demon into powder with just a wave of her hand. She was more powerful than a little bit.
The Fire Demon is a demon after all, and the Bone Eater is just a human no matter how strong it is. There is not even a slight difference between the two.
But one problem is that she doesn't know how to transform yet. The last time she was in Mimihuhu.
"Assassins, killers, or other thugs who do dirty work?"
Lu Ming looked at the direction Wu Yuan was leaving and pondered slightly.
"...didn't you hear me?"
Linglong saw that Lu Ming was a little angry, huffing and puffing, which was very cute.
Turning his head, Lu Ming looked at the girl's pretty face. The angry little face made him feel itchy. He stretched out his hand and pinched it, and said with a smile: "I heard it, but after you have said it, I still want to say it."
What?"
"You, what are you doing?" Linglong rubbed her face, which turned slightly red and hot, not because of pinching, but because she was a little shy.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she no longer had the questioning expression she had just now.
Lu Ming caressed his forehead lightly and said to himself, "I'm so mean" and "What a sin." He sighed and sat aside.
After a while, Linglong calmed down, and only the two of them heard the pounding of their heartbeats stop.
"What shall we do now?"
"sleep."
"ah?!"
"... Just sleep until dawn." Lu Ming covered his face with his hands and groaned.
"ah?!"
Linglong exclaimed coldly, and her heartbeat, which had just stabilized, suddenly jumped up again, this time it was beating even more intensely than before.
"..."
Lu Ming was about to cry but had no tears. He held his heart and looked at the girl who was blushing because of the misunderstanding. He wanted to shout a few words to the sky to release himself, but he was afraid of being heard by the people down the mountain. His eyes turned white for a moment.
