[Sword Three] End Times and Tang Dynasty

Chapter 79: Departure ([-])

Resting in the guild territory for most of the day, Tang Huai helped clean up a wave of herbs. Seeing that the sun was about to set, Tang Huai left the guild territory and returned to the tent.

Miao Shiyi has turned back into an adult now, yawning and sitting on the bed with Xiao Miaoxia in his arms, and the two of them read together under the lamp.

Seeing Tang Huai come out, Miao Shiyi rolled his eyes and patted Miao Xia's head: "Let's eat."

Miao Xia also raised her head and grinned with white teeth: "Yes!"

There are a lot of finished food in Miao Shiyi's bag, so just take it out and eat it right now.The fragrant two dishes and one soup were placed on the small table, and the three sat around to eat.

When Miao Xia is present, Tang Huai and Miao Shiyi will deliberately slow down when eating. As the saying goes, father... father is the best teacher for children, and both of them have the consciousness of being a good example for Miao Xia.

Tang Huai is a certified physical education teacher in a university. He knows everything about health preservation. He doesn't rush when he has no tasks. He always eats politely.

It's not that Miao Shiyi doesn't know that his body is the capital, but because of the limited work intensity in the past, he has more experience of solving a meal in one minute when he is busy. The places to eat include but are not limited to the wilderness, the corner of the roof, or simply do not eat.Now that he is not busy with work, he will naturally pay attention to his body and his children's education.

Miao Xia's imitation ability is particularly strong, and her memory is at the level of photographic memory. The two of them dare not be casual in front of him. This kid is a good seedling. If you don't care about it, you will be sorry for his precious little head.

It was dark after dinner.Tang Huai had nothing to do, took the bowl back to the gang territory to wash, and Miao Shiyi continued to accompany Miao Xia to read.

Tomorrow everyone will embark on a journey to S City, and now is a rare moment of leisure.

After washing the dishes and returning, Tang Huai swept through the few bullets in the bag, and sat silently rubbing the bullets.

After sitting for a while, his thousand-mile sound transmission was connected.

【Xuanzi Zero Zero Two [Qianli Voice Transmission]】: Hello, may I bother you now?

Upon receiving this news, Tang Huai gave his hands a pause, put the things back into the system backpack, and left the tent without saying a word.Miao Shiyi looked up at the slightly shaking curtain, rubbed Miao Xia's head, and turned the book again.

Tang Huai walked out of the tent, and in front of him was Mu Ye's younger sister, Mu Qiantong.With just a glance, Tang Huai could see that the young girl was depressed, so he just cheered up and smiled: "Mr. Tang...I'm bothering you, I want to talk to you."

A good man did his best to the end, Tang Shu Donghuai, who knew that he was being treated as a tree hole again, silently followed Mu Qiantong, and the two walked slowly along the deserted and deserted streets.

In fact, before he left with her, Tang Huai guessed why.

Earlier, Li Xiao, the commander of another team of system boarders, asked him for assistance through thousands of miles of sound transmission: once Li Xiao gave the signal, he immediately searched for Mu Qiantong's whereabouts and protected her.Tang Huai's and Mu Qiantong's Five Elements Stones are both of the water attribute, within a certain distance, Tang Huai can feel her.

However, judging from the fact that Tang Huai hadn't received a signal all day, what Li Xiao had to do should be resolved, but in the end he encountered Mu Qiantong's taboo.

No matter how you think about it, the only person who makes this girl and Konoha miss them is their younger brother.Konoha insisted on leaving Tanghuai as a child in order to return to S City to find her younger siblings.

Now that I think about it, there are actually a lot of details along the way. Although no one said it clearly, Tang Huai can guess that their younger brother is probably an important member of "Benyuan", and even a senior cadre like Tang Ming.

After walking with Wu Yan for about ten minutes, Mu Qiantong sighed quietly: "My mind is very messed up..."

"You chose the most capable one."

Mu Qiantong didn't keep up with Tang Huai's train of thought for a moment, and was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said with a wry smile, "I didn't deliberately choose."

Tang Huai, the ten system boarders, had already seen all of them. From the perspective of a quack, he decided that Li Xiao was most suitable to be the leader of the other team. The first condition for a leader was to be strong enough.The object of "love" that Mu Qiantong chose was him, objectively speaking, it was the best choice.

The strong will naturally take on more responsibilities. They, the system boarders, will face a group of cruel, arrogant, and ruthless people who are capable of attacking billions of human compatriots.

According to the ability of the swordsman's love system, only those who activate the "love" part at the end will have the most powerful power. Mu Qiantong and Li Xiao can activate the "love" part, which can be said to be the luck of this group of system boarders.

While Tang Huai was thinking about something, Mu Qiantong organized his words.The Mr. Tree Hole she was looking for was a man, so she also knew that it was too demanding to expect Tang Huai to be as meticulous as a woman, so she told her bluntly: "I'm angry with him."

Tang Huai didn't speak, and Mu Qiantong knew he was listening: "You are also an insider about what happened today, so I won't talk about the past... He kept it from me, and let me stay out of it, and face the people who attacked us alone. It’s because he doesn’t trust me to be impartial.”

"Can you do it?" Tang Huai stabbed calmly.

"...To be honest, I don't know." Mu Qiantong stopped and looked up at the clean starry sky above his head, "Or...he knew that I would hesitate, so he didn't tell me anything."

Tang Huai said calmly: "He is not wrong."

"Yes." Mu Qiantong sighed softly, "I know very well in my heart that he is right to do so. It is very likely that my advance knowledge will lead to the failure of the entire mission. It has been arranged for so long, and this kind of opportunity will disappear sooner or later. He can't make a mistake. Like my... biological father, he was a soldier first, himself second, and before the mission, I was second. Always second."

"Then what are you angry about?" Tang Huai made another stab, "You already know that he is hiding this because of business. 'Love' has been activated, which means there is no need to question the relationship between you." His tone was calm , "Before that, didn't you know his occupation?"

Mu Qiantong took a breath and admitted with difficulty: "I know."

Tang Huai didn't say it clearly, but his rhetorical question was to remind Mu Qiantong: to choose Li Xiao, you must first admit that he is a soldier, and in front of his vocation, everything must be sidelined, including love.

"Since you can figure it out, then this matter has to wait for you to digest it yourself." Tang Huai didn't think so.If Miao Shiyi is chosen, he will be responsible for the rest.

"If you don't want to." Tang Huai thought for a while, as if he shouldn't be too indifferent, and added, "I don't know if 'love' can be broken. It doesn't matter if you can't. If you don't want to continue, I can kill you." killed him."

Mu Qiantong was tongue-tied and stared at Tang Huai for a while before stammering: "Don't, don't be like this, Mr. Tang! Aren't you a university teacher?!"

Tang Huai: "Yes, I was joking."

Mu Qiantong calmed down, and walked again: "Mr. Tang, are you leaving tomorrow?"

Tang Huai nodded slightly in silence.

"Are you sure the next step is to go directly to City S?"

This matter was brought up by Mu Qiantong, and Tang Huai couldn't help being silent for a moment, before saying, "It's too dangerous."

Seeing Mu Qiantong's puzzled face, Tang Huai understood what she was thinking: "We don't have any more time."

Mu Qiantong was not stupid, she figured it out: Tang Huai and the others had to go.

According to intelligence, this national and even global five-element energy variation will last for ten months, once every two months.The first wave of soil energy mutation was dealt with by Tang Huai and his team due to great luck. This situation undoubtedly angered the top management of "Origin".

Just imagine, that group of selfish, arrogant, cruel and ruthless guys are celebrating the successful launch of the zombie virus. Unexpectedly, they are about to have another energy mutation and carry out a big cleansing of survivors, but they are severely punished by this group of system boarders. A slap in the face!

City S is the most terrifying of the five major energy anomalies in the country. After losing the first round, "Original" no longer underestimated the enemy, and viciously bared its sharpest fangs.

Although Tang Huai was never in charge of formulating strategies, as the most powerful attack force on Miao Shiyi's side, he always fought on the front line.How could he not know that city S is the most mutated area, in other words, the person holding the energy core of the wood attribute is the most powerful wood-type ability user, that is, the enemy they may confront head-on in city S .

As he was thinking, Mu Qiantong next to him said, "I'll accompany you too."

Tang Huai refused straight away: "No."

Seeing that he disagreed, Mu Qiantong hurriedly said, "I didn't try to be brave! Officer Miao doesn't have the ancient magic weapon, so the healing effect is limited! The poisonous fog in city S has such high damage, I can completely prolong everyone's life in the poisonous fog with the ancient magic weapon." The time in between, and..."

Does this girl know what's going on in S City?Tang Huai interrupted her coldly again: "No."

Mu Qiantong was in a hurry, and took a step forward to stop Tang Huai: "Mr. Tang!"

Tang Huai was blocked, stared at her eyes condescendingly, and said word by word: "No."

Mu Qiantong tried to continue communicating: "I'm already level 56! The Five Elements Stone also has level five! You met me in City S, and you know that I know the system very well..."

What are you kidding?Tang Huai suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Mu Qiantong's wrist, causing Mu Qiantong's wrist to feel cold.She obviously wasn't afraid of the cold because of the ability of the Five Elements Stone, but at this moment she was actually shivered by the chill coming from Tang Huai's hand!

Letting go of Mu Qiantong, Tang Huai restrained the energy of his Five Elements Stone, and lowered his eyes: "I have ancient magic weapons, and my Five Elements Stone is level seven, but it can't resist the poisonous fog for a long time. I tried."

Miao Shiyi also discovered that Tang Huai had returned to S City once before. In that hell full of poisonous fog and various mutant animals and plants, even Tang Huai, who had a seven-level five-element stone and held an ancient magic weapon, could only persevere. In less than half an hour, after returning to the gang territory, the blood bar continued to drop, and it took a lot of special medicine to replenish the blood.

It was too scary and dangerous there, Tang Huai and Miao Shiyi were even mentally prepared to die.

So what if the system boarder is precious?If the wood-type energy explosion in city S is allowed to succeed and the world will once again be surrounded by mutated plants, causing tens of millions of deaths, then they can also sacrifice to prevent this outbreak. After all, there are still six people left. Personally, relying on these six people, I can still fight against Yuanyuan again.

The lives of four people are worth exchanging for the lives of tens of millions of people. Of course, the commanders of the imperial capital are willing to do so.

Mu Qiantong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, a green crystal flashed in his hand: "You use this thing to raise the level of the Five Elements Stone, right? I can do it too..."

Tang Huai didn't expect that she would know that the people on his side were upgraded by absorbing energy cores to break through the daily five-element stone cultivation limit, so he snatched the crystal from her hand and put it directly into his own system backpack: "This too It's dangerous, you can't use it, the host of Zero Zero Five will die if you use it."

Leapfrogging is dangerous and painful, he has experienced it, and he doesn't want this girl who saved him to experience it too.

Mu Qiantong came back to his senses: "You can use the energy core to push the Five Elements Stone to level seven, and so can I. If I'm strong enough, you won't dislike me, right?!"

Tang Huai didn't expect that Mu Qiantong would still try to step into such a terrible place with them. He frowned slightly, and his voice was a little heavy, and he called Mu Qiantong by his full name: "Mu Qiantong, you can't go."

"It's useless to move my brother to stop me." Mu Qiantong also said seriously, "I'm not much weaker than you, and I can play a greater role than others. One more person who can heal will go with you. Your chances of survival will more than double."

Tang Huai stopped talking, he was not very eloquent, if he couldn't persuade Mu Qiantong, then let someone who could restrain her come, and he was going to inform Li Xiao.

Mu Qiantong saw that he was silent, but his expression didn't loosen at all. After realizing it, he hurriedly grabbed his sleeve: "Mr. Tang!"

Tang Huai was almost about to communicate with Li Xiao through thousands of miles of sound transmission, but was intercepted by Mu Qiantong.He is a grown man, it's so easy to fend off Mu Qiantong.Just as he was about to exert himself, Mu Qiantong's slightly choked voice made him stop: "My younger brother Mu Ze is what made City S into that kind of person. Let me go, I don't want to see him go wrong..."

Tang Huai became quiet, this clue hit the painful memories buried deep in his heart.

——Tang Ming, the brother who grew up with him, killed so many people in the Tang Sect, killed the head of the sect, and became a senior cadre of "Origin".

A soft sigh came from the night, and the sound of a person's footsteps came from far to near, and Miao Shiyi's voice sounded: "Mu Qiantong, Wen Yu has just recovered, and he is too weak to undertake the healing task of your team. From now on, the ranger missions we can do will no longer be as simple as in the past, if you go to S City with us, it will be difficult for the teammates you leave behind to upgrade."

Mu Qiantong paused, and slowly let go of Tang Huai.

Miao Shiyi's speech was neither urgent nor slow: "Explain, Master has my Phoenix Gu on him, and I found it myself. Master, you go back to accompany Miao Xia, let me talk to her."

With Miao Shiyi here, Tang Huai can rest assured to leave the matter here to him, and added: "Energy core."

Miao Shiyi understood after hearing only one noun: "I'll tell her." Tang Huai stopped talking and left.

Tang Huai traveled quickly, and disappeared at the end of the abandoned street in a short time.

The cold night wind passed through the ruins, making the atmosphere between Mu Qiantong and Miao Shiyi drop to freezing point.Miao Shiyi stomped his feet and sighed with a smile: "It's really cold at night in winter. I envy you and Master's five-element stone that can resist the cold. We are not in the same guild, otherwise we can go to the territory to chat... Mind to compare with me Is it somewhere warm?"

A few minutes later, Miao Shiyi and Mu Qiantong sat at the two ends of the coffee table, serving hot soup in their hands.This is the imperial capital, and Miao Shiyi applied for an airtight room with self-heating with the brand of the special service tenth group.

After warming up, Miao Shiyi also relaxed a lot, and fixed his eyes on Mu Qiantong: "First thing, you can't go to S City with us. I guess you still want to say that otherwise all our system boarders can go in collectively— — or not, have you ever heard the saying, 'Don't put all your eggs in the same basket'."

Naturally, Mu Qiantong has heard this sentence. After Miao Shiyi and the others go in, if something happens to them, at least they are still outside and can go to the rescue, but if everyone rushes in together, they will be killed All in one pot. The people of "Original" laughed so hard that they would die from laughing.

Seeing Mu Qiantong's eyes turn, Miao Shiyi continued with a smile, "Besides, I'm in charge of the command of our team, and I even directly accepted the task from the head of the secret service department, and I have to go to S city to investigate. So I can't let you go in instead of me."

Seeing that Mu Qiantong didn't speak, Miao Shiyi automatically turned to the next question: "I know about your brother Mu Ze, and Mu Ye will reconcile with us and go in together. For Ye's sake, he wouldn't want us to die. As for why he turned to 'Origin'...he is 16 years old this year?"

Mu Qiantong nodded with difficulty.

Miao Shiyi solemnly said: "I will investigate clearly. Finally, it is about the energy core. Your speculation is correct. Master and our master did forcibly increase the level of the Five Elements Stone by absorbing the energy core."

Mu Qiantong looked at Miao Shiyi quietly, waiting for him to clarify.

"Energy cores are common to other mutated creatures—including humans with supernatural powers. However, it is very dangerous and extremely painful to improve one's own strength by absorbing energy cores. When Master is promoted to level seven... the gang It was snowing in the territory, and he was awake and frozen for more than ten hours. When the master was promoted to the sixth level, he stabbed a total of 330 nine earth-type energy cores into his body. When they did these things, they all Someone is guarding it, and it is also protected by the ancient gods. I asked Zero Zero Seven, and it said that if it absorbs too much, it is not guaranteed to die, but it is very likely that it will be similar to Wen Yu. I don’t want you to face this kind of situation too. Things. More specifically, you, especially, can't take that risk. You're their back."

Mu Qiantong lowered his gaze, staring at the soup bowl in his hand without saying a word.Miao Shiyi drank the hot soup slowly, got up and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Li will arrange your next move. Go back and have a good rest as soon as the time for your magical journey is up. I still have some things to talk to the minister, and I will go back later."

Mu Qiantong calmed down: "Officer Miao. If you need help, please contact us. Thank you for Xiaoyu's matter."

Miao Shiyi waved his hand: "To encourage each other."

When Mu Qiantong went back, Miao Shiyi did not leave in a hurry.After waiting for a while, he heard footsteps outside the half-covered door, got up and waited, and soon General Feng in casual clothes walked in.

Feng Wei put on a military overcoat, and sat down as soon as he entered the door.Miao Shiyi didn't salute him, but just watched him staring at the ground quietly, and laughed: "Don't tell me, I really haven't paid attention to such small details."

When Feng Wei wasn't wearing military uniform, he didn't have much military temperament, just like an ordinary middle-aged civilian worker.Miao Shiyi thought to himself: This kind of image is more deceptive than his physical education teacher's own son.

"Don't you like to look at others seriously? I corrected it later, and so did Qianqian. But after more than 20 years, he hasn't changed." Feng Wei sighed, "Is he and Qianqian okay?"

Miao Shiyi said frankly: "Blood relationship is very strange. Master is actually not very enthusiastic, and sometimes he doesn't care about others...but he is very close to his blood relatives."

Feng Wei pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty: "When I was on a mission, his mother was hunted down and fell into the river. She gave birth to him on the river beach and fell unconscious. When he woke up, he had disappeared. We all thought He... didn't expect that he was still alive." Wiping his face, Feng Wei continued, "It was because I was afraid that the same thing would happen to Qianqian, so I sent her to Mu's house, and Qianqian still refuses to forgive me."

As an officer of the secret service department, he shouldn't have shown this side in front of anyone, but today he couldn't control his emotions no matter what.

Miao Shiyi, who also became a tree hole like Tang Huai, didn't answer. Feng Wei just wanted to talk, so he just listened.

Decades ago, Feng Wei lost his beloved son in great pain. A few years later, his wife became pregnant, and he was not with his wife again. The wife had enough of this kind of life and resolutely left.He didn't dare to let the only remaining beloved daughter, Qianqian, suffer revenge like the dead eldest son, so he reluctantly sent her to the home of a retired comrade-in-arms, changed her name and changed her surname to start a new life, for this reason, her beloved daughter never forgave him as a father .

Unexpected disasters caused the world to fall. The chairman was visiting abroad at that time, and the imperial capital was empty. Commander Ding took advantage of it to enter. Feng Wei and others worked hard to escort the chairman back to China, and only then did the turbulent imperial capital calm down again. Let the state machine in a state of disunity work.

Knowing that his beloved daughter is a boarder of the system, one of the ten most precious people, and even the three most precious people with healing abilities, Feng Wei couldn't sleep for days and nights.He is too aware of the strength of the enemy, and his beloved daughter has to stand up to face this. As a father, how can he not worry?

This was not the news that shocked him the most. Afterwards, all the system boarders gathered in the imperial capital and had a medical examination. Holding the medical examination report in their hands, Feng Wei stayed there for several hours.

Mu Qiantong and Tang Huai are brothers and sisters.In other words, Tang Huai was the eldest son who he thought died by the water many years ago.
