"yes!"
There was a positive response in the office. In addition to Xiaoqin and the other two, three more staff members were added.
There are two men and one woman. They arrived at Qingtian Castle not long ago to assist Xiao Jin in his investigation.
Xiao Jin also walked quickly to his office area and sorted out some data and information. At this time, the female team member who had just joined the investigation team suddenly came over and glanced at Xiao Jin.
Then at this moment, with a loud bang, the outer wall of the office exploded after enduring a violent explosion, and rubble flew everywhere, hitting the surroundings like a cannonball.
Xiao Jin and others turned around suddenly and saw that the entire wall of the Qin family study, which had been converted into an office, had been blown up, and even the small building was shaking.
boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of breaking air outside the building, and a figure rushed in. Before the figure could be seen clearly, sword lights shot out in all directions, hitting Xiao Jin and others like lightning.
The members of the investigation team were hit by the sword before they could even react. Xiao Jin looked at his chest, where the sword light had not yet disappeared. He covered his chest, shocked and angry, and took a few steps back and sat down.
At this time, a cloaked figure appeared in the study. His head and face were deeply covered in the hood, and only a pointed chin and a cold smile on his face could be seen.
He chuckled, walked over, and slashed Xiao Jin's throat with his sword. However, there was no blood gushing out. Only then did he realize that none of the people hit by his sword fell down or bled.
But soon, the members of the investigation team dispersed like smoke, as if what was in the office just now were just some holographic images.
The cloaked man gasped, and without a care in the world, he rushed over to the workbench and looked up something on an electronic board.
After a moment, he cursed: "I fell into a trap."
“The thing isn’t even here!”
At this time.
There were sounds of cars and people outside the building. Apparently, the attack just now had alerted the nearby guards. The cloaked man immediately rushed out of the small building and disappeared in a few steps.
The lower city of Skyfort.
In a room.
Xiao Jin sat on the chair, touched his chest, and said with lingering fear: "It's a good thing you came, Miss Mo, otherwise, we would all become corpses now."
All members of the investigation team were here. The female team member who had just glanced at Xiao Jin raised her head and smiled, "Captain Xiao, you are too polite. As a peacemaker, I don't have direct combat power for the time being, so I can only use some tricks."
"But fortunately, we moved in time and escaped the disaster. Moreover, it seems that someone in the fortress doesn't want us to hand over the things we collected to Mr. Long who is about to arrive."
Xiaoqin jumped up and shouted, "It must have been Yuan Shu who did it! Our office is in the upper city, inside their family's residence. Apart from the people ordered by Yuan Shu, who else would dare to attack us so openly!"
Xiao Jin made a gesture of pressing his palm down: "Calm down, Xiaoqin. After all, we don't have direct evidence. It's better not to talk nonsense about this kind of thing. If Yuan Shu is wrongly accused, we will become pawns being used."
"Anyway, pack up your things. Mr. Long and his team will be here soon."
The military command hall in Shangcheng District.
Yuan Shu folded his hands and said, "In short, we will be under serious suspicion. We may be temporarily taken over by the Golden Court because of this. We have to consider various possibilities..."
Hastily
The sound of busy footsteps came from the main door. Yuan Shu stopped and saw his secretary walking in with a serious expression.
She came to Yuan Cheng and whispered something. Yuan Shu's face changed: "What?"
Chu Yan and others immediately looked at him. Just as Cao Gang was about to ask something, he heard footsteps again. An iron-clad officer quickly came to his ear and whispered a report.
"It's bad, Lord Cao. The office of the investigation team in the family residence has just been confirmed to have been attacked!"
Cao Gang's breathing suddenly sank.
Yuan Shu calmed down and looked at Cao Gang. "The meeting is over. Cao Gang, you go to the scene in person and make sure to catch that audacious bastard. Also, send someone to find Captain Xiao and the others and make sure to protect them."
From the secretary's report just now, Yuan Shu already knew that although the investigation team's office was attacked, there were no casualties in the office. This made Yuan Shu finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Cao Gang nodded, said nothing more, and immediately left with his subordinates.
Yuan Shu stood up, looked at Chu Yan and sighed, "Old Chu, you said autumn hasn't even arrived yet, why are there so many things going on?"
Without waiting for the commander's answer, Yuan Shu walked out of the command hall.
Back in his office, his eyes suddenly blazed with anger, he clenched his fists, and everything in the room began to vibrate on its own. After a moment, they stopped.
“Damn it!”
"Who is framing me?"
Yuan Shu slammed his fist on the table angrily: "They deliberately chose to attack before the important figures of the Golden Court arrived. They are stirring up trouble at this juncture, clearly wanting me to have no way to defend myself."
"Moreover, the members of the investigation team actually moved ahead of time. Does that mean they really found something? This possibility is not small. Only in this way can we explain why they left the upper city."
"They're on guard against me!"
Yuan Shu looked toward the window, his face looking a little tired. Suddenly, there was a sound in his drawer. Yuan Shu was startled at first, then he understood, and quickly opened the drawer and took out a communicator.
The communicator was telling him that he had received a text message.
Yuan Shu opened it and saw the words: Everything goes well and you will return home soon.
I was stunned for a moment.
Then Yuan Shu chuckled, and then he couldn't help laughing. He laughed until tears came out, and then he stopped.
"Okay, okay! That's great! In this case, as long as we delay a little longer, we still have a chance."
"finally."
"I will no longer be subject to anyone!"
... ... ... ..
The wilderness is as desolate as ever.
This is the third day since leaving Twilight Castle.
Along the way, the Chamber of Commerce team had passed several settlements, where the people did not hide their greed. However, the Chamber of Commerce's huge convoy, the rifles in the hands of the guards, and the three-dimensional armed armor that was accidentally exposed under the waterproof cloth that was occasionally blown by the wind made those people calm enough.
They just watched the caravan pass by, but many guards would throw their rations or candies to the children who came out from the settlements to watch the fun when they passed by these places.
The most enthusiastic people to do this kind of thing are Xiaoxiang and his brother. Just like now, they passed by a settlement again, and the two little guys opened the window and threw out all the snacks they had on them, as if they were feeding stray cats and dogs.
However, to Tianyang's surprise, after leaving the settlement, Xiaoxiang said with sympathy: "Sister, they are so pitiful. I saw a few who are about my age, and they are so thin."
Xiaoqing also sighed and touched her brother's head: "It's a pity that we don't have much on us, so we can't give them more."
Xiao Xiang leaned on his sister: "I really want to help them, but I don't know how..."
"There's nothing I can do, you're still young. But I believe that when you grow up, you will become an outstanding person. Then, you will be able to help these poor people!" The little girl cheered her brother up.
Xiao Xiang's eyes lit up, and he stood up and said, "Yes, when I become an ascender, I will drive away all the evil gods, so that everyone can live happily and everyone can have enough food to eat without going hungry."
Looking at the brother and sister, Su Lie smiled and said, "To become a strong person, it's not just talk."
Xiao Xiang looked at him and said, "Uncle, what do you think we should do?"
"Of course you have to learn. At the very least, you have to start by practicing with the sword." Su Lie said with a smile.
Xiao Xiang lowered his head: "I want to, but my father always says that I am too young. He will find a teacher to teach me swordsmanship when I grow up."
"Who said that education should start from childhood? If you want to achieve success in the future, the earlier you learn, the better."
Su Lie stretched and said, "I haven't moved for a long time. How about this, come find me after dinner."
Tianyang thought he had heard it wrong and looked at his father.
Su Lie said calmly: "The journey is too boring, we have to find something to do."
"Then you can guide me." Tianyang pointed at himself.
Su Lie laughed and said, "Go and have fun. You don't need any guidance."
Xiao Qing finally understood that Su Lie wanted to guide his brother. Who was Su Lie? He was the tough guy who captured the owner of Death Valley and brought him to Gaoshan Fort. His guidance was better than any famous teacher.
The little girl asked nervously: "Uncle, can you teach me too?"
Su Lie agreed immediately: "Okay, teaching one is teaching, teaching two is also teaching. You two can come together, it's just right, you are about the same age, you can fight each other, and after you learn, you can practice on your own."
"Hurray!" The brother and sister clapped their hands happily, and then Xiaoxiang ran to Zhang Rui happily to announce the good news.
Tianyang smiled and shook his head. At this moment, he felt the communicator in his waist bag ring. He opened it and saw that it was the one given by Bidou. It seemed to have received information about the holding of a new secret party.
He opened it and saw Iron Blood Castle, Green Ivy Castle, Clear Spring Castle...
They were all fortresses that I had never heard of.
That night.
After a light rain, the wilderness was filled with fresh and humid air. The caravan's chef was cooking, while Tianyang took Xingluo for a walk around the area, both to take a walk and to observe the surroundings to guard against possible dangers.
He stopped suddenly.
Just on a piece of green rock, the moonlight sat on her knees.
"Miss Moonlight."
Tianyang walked over and said, "It's almost time to eat, why are you still here?"
“I can’t eat.”
Yue Guang picked up a white glazed bottle with a thin green rope tied to it. She shook it and said, "Besides, it's enough for me."
Tianyang sniffed and the smell in the bottle seemed to be wine.
