Valkyrie Returns

Chapter 39

Although the sky is not bright yet, after a lot of tossing by the crowd, there is a faint white light shining through the dark clouds, and it is almost dawn.Because Zhang Liao was seriously injured, no one cared to talk along the way and just hurried on their way.On the contrary, Lu Bu and Xiu Yuan consciously went and couldn't help much, just sat casually on the back of the red rabbit horse, and fell far behind the team.

Xiuyuan said he wanted to go out to exercise, but in fact he was still very tired.After all, in just a few hours, he first practiced together with Lu Bu to heal the poison, and later his cultivation was improved due to the breakthrough of the realm, so he was already very sleepy both mentally and physically.The reason why they came out was just to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere created by Fan Chou at that time.

Lu Bu's mind is not as detailed as Xiu Yuan's, and of course this is also related to the fact that most of his attention has been on Xiu Yuan.For him, nothing is more important than Xiuyuan himself.So he noticed Xiuyuan's exhaustion immediately, and deliberately slowed down along the way.

Although it was in the wild, Xiu Yuan was nestled in Lu Bu's steaming chest.For Xiuyuan, a traveler from another world, Lu Bu's side is the safest place.So he quickly curled up in Lu Bu's arms and fell into a drowsy sleep.Lu Bu simply let go of the reins, but occasionally looked down at Xiu Yuan, but his eyes were softer than ever.

Because of the promotion of cultivation base, although Xiu Yuan's figure and appearance haven't changed much, but the aura he inadvertently exudes is more peaceful and stable than before. As long as he is by his side, the fierce murderous aura in Lu Bu's chest will be quiet Dormant, the whole person seems to be immersed in a kind of extremely comfortable warm sunshine, and there is no ups and downs in my heart.

Suddenly, a strong murderous aura rolled over and ruthlessly pierced this rare peace. Lu Bu's eyes sharpened for a second, and the whole person had already leaped high from the horse's back, and his strong inner breath pushed him away with the palm of his hand. , like a huge wave blasted towards the middle of the gap in the roadside miscellaneous forest.

A few men in black appeared out of nowhere in the phantom, but they were already bleeding from all seven orifices and were no longer alive.Although Lu Bu moved quickly, Xiu Yuan was awakened by the cold wind in the wilderness the moment he left Lu Bu's warm chest, and was woken up in the middle of his sleep. No matter who he was, he would not be in a good mood. With a clear expression, a pair of beautiful crescent eyebrows have already frowned.Annoyed, Lu Bu stretched out his hand to caress Xiu Yuan's brow, and inadvertently carried a indulgent smile in his low voice: "Qinghe, it's still early, sleep a little longer." Xiu Yuan nodded, and was about to nestle into Lu Bu's arms again , out of the corner of his eye, he unexpectedly saw a flash of fire not far away.

"Fengxian, who are those walking around there?"

Lu Bu took a closer look, and was a little surprised at the moment: "Those people seem to be Cao Wei's soldiers in their outfits. But even if they are patrolling the camp at night, they don't want to make such a big commotion."

"Could it be that they have some conspiracy?" Xiu Yuan was extremely jealous of Guo Jia, and quickly said, "Feng Xian, you go over quietly to find out." After speaking, he sat up straight and walked away from Lu Bu's chest.But Lu Bu didn't move, Xiu Yuan glanced at him suspiciously, only to hear Lu Bu's dull voice: "Qinghe, this place is not safe, I can't leave you."

"Did something happen just now?" Xiu Yuan reacted quickly, and immediately realized that Lu Bu could not leave while he was asleep.

"There were quite a few assassins over there just now. If nothing else, they should all be targeting you. Their murderous intent is obvious."

"Assassins? Have you seen their figures and appearances clearly?" Xiu Yuan was also a little strange when he heard the words. After all, Lu Bu was by his side and came here to assassinate, obviously to die. Teng and Han Sui, at least on the surface, hadn't broken skin with Lu Bu, and it was even more impossible for them to do such inexplicable things.

Lu Bu shook his head neatly: "They are average in martial arts, but they seem to have some kind of unique method of concealing aura, so they have been following us for so long without being discovered."

"How far were those assassins from me just now?" Not only Lu Bu, but also Gao Shun, Fan Chou and many masters from the camp who walked in front of them failed to notice, Xiu Yuan also became more alert to those assassins , so I asked in more detail: "How long did it take Fengxian to kill them?"

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and comforted him softly: "Qinghe doesn't have to worry, they are all dead, only one move was used."

"How far away were they killed by you? I want to see their bodies." If the question just now was just out of curiosity, now Xiuyuan has faintly noticed the unusualness of these assassins Come.After all, he knew Gao Shun's martial arts. Apart from Lu Bu, Zhao Yun was probably the only one who could fight him in terms of martial arts.

Lu Bu heard the anxiety in Xiu Yuan's tone, and also sensed something was wrong: "Among them, the closest one to you was only three feet away." You know, for masters like Lu Bu and Gao Shun, a distance of ten feet is far away. Inside, the sounds of flying flowers picking leaves, birds chirping and insects chirping could be heard clearly, but it was really unusual for them to fail to notice the existence of these assassins at all.

Soon they came to the roadside forest to check the corpses of those assassins, but Lu Bu cautiously killed these corpses again before letting Xiu Yuan approach.Xiuyuan carefully searched the belongings and clothing of these assassins, but found nothing, but unexpectedly found that there were still tiny traces of magic in their bodies, just like the Fusang spies they had encountered in Xiqiang.Xiuyuan suddenly understood: "Fengxian, these people are probably related to the Fusang spy we met in Mobei."

"The assassination of Fusang's secret agent and the change of Cao Wei's camp? Could it be that there is some connection and mystery hidden in it?" As long as there is something related to Xiuyuan's safety, Lu Bu will put all his heart into it and say it quickly own worries.

"Since this is the case, don't hesitate to set off the fire as soon as possible. Fortunately, Fan Chou came with Mr. Jia." As Xiu Yuan said, he scattered a lot of golden silk threads into the air.Soon these silk threads turned into various colors of flames that flickered in the night sky, especially conspicuous in the dark night.

Gao Shun, who was walking in front, stopped quickly and looked at the letter fire in the air with a solemn face.

"General Gao, what kind of contact fire is this? Why can't I tell the difference?" Of course Jia Xu also spotted the fire. He just glanced at it and realized that it wasn't any kind he was familiar with, so he didn't say anything. At this time, Gao Shun stopped, and he opened his mouth to ask questions.

"This is a letter fire specially used to contact the trapped camp. Except for me, only Hou Ye and the military division know that this letter fire can call all the members of the trapped camp to gather. But Hou Ye and the others have been following us all the time. Let's go, did something happen on the road we just walked?" At the same time, many soldiers who were patrolling the city also found this powerful letter of fire, and hurriedly reported it to Yu Ji and Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun and Yu Jiyuan He wasn't even a member of Lu Bu's direct lineage, so he couldn't recognize Xinhuo at all, so he had to issue the order of strict vigilance.

Except for the few trapped camps that Gao Shun took away, most of the trapped camps that remained in the city have rested.There were still more than a dozen people who saw Xinhuo opened their eyes in surprise. After all, Xinhuo was the most familiar and unfamiliar signal in their camp.

It can be said that the camp itself was established by Gao Shun. All orphans without father and mother were selected from childhood, and then taught them martial arts in person. It can be said that their loyalty to Gao Shun is even higher than themselves, and Gao Shun's loyalty to Lu Bu His loyalty is unimaginable.Therefore, the first thing all members of the trapped camp remember is this letter of fire.But for so many years, they haven't seen anyone send it out.

All members of the trapped camp who saw this signal must rush to the place where the letter fire was sent as soon as possible, and absolutely obey the sender's order.If you see this letter and don't go there, you will be treated as a traitor.So the members who saw the signal rushed over, but they didn't specifically notify their resting companions.

But even Xiuyuan, who sent out the signal, didn't know anything about it.He always thought that this signal was the same as what Gao Shun told him at the beginning, and it was just for communication.Lu Bu sat casually on the edge of the miscellaneous forest with Xiu Yuan in his arms, and was about to take this opportunity to be gentle for a while, when he keenly noticed that many masters had gathered here, and immediately sat up straight.

Xiuyuan has been with Lu Bu for so long, so he is very clear about his habits, and when he saw this, he tucked his fingers into his sleeves and became secretly on guard.Half a quarter of an hour later, dozens of shadows flew over from everywhere: "The dead soldiers trapped in the camp are waiting for the master's order."

Xiu Yuan stood up calmly. These dead soldiers in black night clothes did not cover their faces. He looked carefully for a while, but unexpectedly did not find any familiar faces. He was also secretly startled and went to Lu Bu. The other side approached a few more steps before calmly opening his mouth: "You go to Cao Jun's camp to find out the news. You don't have to go too deep. If you are found out, you have to silence it as soon as possible. You don't need to find out any secrets. You just need to know why those soldiers It’s enough to make such a big commotion in the middle of the night.”

Although the dead soldiers who received the order showed their body skills and flew out immediately, they talked with each other halfway, and it seemed that they were very familiar with each other.

A clear voice was the first to speak, "I never expected that the person who sent out this letter fire would be so young. I always thought it would be a strange old man with a gloomy face."

Another voice was a little deeper and quickly took up the conversation: "The aura of the tall man next to the master is indeed terrifying. If he can subdue such a man, it will not be surprising that General Gao obeys his orders."

Before he finished speaking, another strange voice laughed heartily, obviously in a very happy mood: "Haha, I didn't expect that our Ghost Face Camp was the first to meet the real master. You can go back after the mission is over. Let’s show off with those guys from the Zhechong camp. Those idiots think it’s great to be by the general’s side all the time, and their heads are going to go up to the sky.”

Another calmer voice quickly stopped them, judging from the tone, it was probably the leader of the Ghost Face Camp: "Okay, hurry up and complete the task assigned by the master, if something goes wrong, let alone go back to the city to show off , I'm afraid you don't have to come back, you should know that you never need waste in the camp."
