[Sword Three] Why do you want to cut milk if you can output?

Getting along with each other is a difficult thing.

Both Li Zhen and Chu Qiu had thought about such a sentence.

Chu Qiu felt that the target of this mission seemed not very smart, while Li Zhen felt that with Chu Qiu's character, he should not like him to talk too much.

So Chu Qiu watched in silence as Li Zhen searched for the things on the fainted Turkic man, and after he got some documents and tokens, he rode with him on the two horses she had specially left behind for the camp where Tiance was stationed. .

Along the way, neither of them spoke much.

At night, they found a shelter from the wind and stayed overnight.

With Chu Qiu around, they naturally didn't have to worry about the most important issues of food and water, but when Chu Qiu generously left him a portion of food, Li Zhen showed a grateful and embarrassed expression.

"Please trouble Miss Chu." When Li Zhen received the food and water, he couldn't help thanking her again.

But this time, Chu Qiu did not respond to his thanks.

Perhaps the grace of saving lives is really a very powerful buff in this era. Although Chu Qiu pretended to be a stranger, Li Zhen was not too far away from her.

They didn't talk much, but every time he talked to her, Li Zhen reported with great enthusiasm.

"A stratagem that has been in the army for several years will not be a drawbridge effect." Chu Qiu judged this way, and did not forget to communicate with the system with God's perspective. , but... saving his life is also worth 100 favorability points."

"An upright soldier...Although it looks stupid, it's worth saving once." Without waiting for the system's answer, Chu Qiu came to a conclusion on his own.

"...Yes." The system wants to say that the target of the strategy is not stupid, it's just that your brain waves are not aligned, but this has no effect on Chu Qiu's strategy, and even helps, so the system decides to keep silent. "Is the host going to just follow the target to the camp?"

"Otherwise?" Chu Qiu covered his face with himself, raised his eyebrows at the invisible system, "If I don't go, he may... no, it's nothing. Just go, I can see if there are other keys by the way Character, give me a permanent branch line."

"Yes, there is, but the host probably won't want to brush..." the system whispered.

"What did you say?"

"No, it's nothing, host." The system returned to a serious voice, "This time the goal is a bit special, unlike the previous goals, it will not come into contact with the core figures of the Tiance Mansion, so it is more difficult to open the permanent branch line."

"...You'll make me feel like I've lost hundreds of millions by saying that."

"Cough, on the contrary, the host." The system pretended not to hear Chu Qiu's complaint, and then continued, "The side missions on this map will be triggered more easily."

"The branch line related to Tiance..." Chu Qiu was a little lost in thought, "I always feel that it will be very troublesome."

"...In short, the host can discover these branch lines by itself." The system hesitated for a moment, and then resolutely added, "If the branch line related to Tiance is opened, it will definitely be beneficial to the host."

"Speaking of which, why did Miss Chu come to Mobei?"

As soon as the system here finished speaking, Li Zhen over there spoke as if nothing had happened.

Without hesitation, Chu Qiu temporarily put aside the system's reminder, and turned to look at Li Zhen.

She didn't reply right away, and Li Zhen was already prepared for such a reaction, so his expression remained normal.They stopped their mounts at the same time, and they looked at each other—although Li Zhen didn't really see her eyes—neither of them moved away first.

"Ah."

Li Zhen heard Chu Qiu chuckle, but of course he knew that it was not a pleasant smile, on the contrary, it carried Ling Ran brought by the speaker himself.

"You doubt me?"

"This is just a necessary question." Li Zhen's expression remained unchanged when she questioned him like this, and he even had a sense of righteousness, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with his question.

He still had blood on his body, and compared to Chu Qiu, he still looked a bit embarrassed, but only his eyes made Chu Qiu clearly understand that he was a soldier of Tiance Mansion, a general who had killed people and protected the country.

"Miss Chu, I sincerely thank you for your help. Whether you try to stop the Turkic people or give me food and water, I will never forget the grace of saving my life."

"but--"

Even if he is injured now, even if his life is almost hanging by a thread, even if he is saved by her, he will not decide things casually based on his personal feelings.

Li Zhen like this made Chu Qiu feel a little emotional.

He may be stubborn, inflexible, unreasonable, and may even be called revenge, but Chu Qiu knows from his serious expression that he is only putting the country and the lives of more people in danger than his own. Feel more important position.

"—But Miss Chu, I have to make sure that you are not an enemy. I can't let other brothers get hurt because of my misjudgment."

"Let's not bring danger to the camp because of my personal feelings."

He has a good impression of her, but he will not substitute his personal feelings into "work".

This person is much better than the flattering and obedient ones, and deserves her respect.

"You are a very good soldier." Therefore, Chu Qiu refrained from acting coldly, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and smiled appreciatively at him, "Da Tang, I am very fortunate to have you."

"Miss Chu—"

"but--"

She interrupted Li Zhen, she just tilted her head slightly, not caring much about his suspicion, and her attitude returned to her indifferent attitude, "If you suspect that I have something to do with Turks, you don't have to."

"Miss Chu naturally has nothing to do with the Turkic people." Hearing her answer, Li Zhen exhaled, and said without hesitation, "I believe in the character of the girl, and the girl will definitely not secretly communicate with foreign enemies. It's just that the girl It is too coincidental to appear, plus..."

"In addition, I obviously don't know you, and I don't know Turkic well, but I chose to help you without hesitation?" Chu Qiu finished his words in a deep voice, his tone was still calm, and he was completely free from the anger of being suspected.

"You originally walked with me, firstly to ensure 'survival', because I have food and water; secondly, you want to bring me with you until you find out the truth."

Chu Qiu could see clearly that although Li Zhen was skeptical about her appearance at the beginning, it was not to the point of a showdown, and he could even be called amiable.

Now his attitude suddenly changed, and she didn't have time to do anything, there was only one possibility - Li Zhen received other news from the Turks, and that news...

"Could it be?"

Chu Qiu had some new ideas, so he subconsciously wanted to ask the system.

But the system didn't answer.

"You found the Turkic letter, and what was written on it changed your attitude." Chu Qiu suddenly remembered that he once said that he was a target for the Turkic people for the sake of other soldiers, and was lucky enough to be rescued by her in the end.

"So that's the case... Something went wrong with the task of collecting intelligence, and the brothers who were supposed to go back to the camp did not go back... At least it seems that there is no sign of going back."

It was only then that Chu Qiu realized belatedly that, apart from the two of them, there was no sign of anyone else walking along the way.

Even in Mobei, as long as you pass by, you will leave traces, instead of being "clean" like what she sees now.

If Li Zhen didn't take her to a place other than the camp on purpose, it meant that other than them, no one else had passed by here recently.

"You suspect that I am the 'third force'." Chu Qiuyue said, the more he felt that he had entered the wrong set, "What you saw..."

Li Zhenwei lowered his eyes and did not deny Chu Qiu's guess, "There are other forces that intend to provoke a war between the Turks and the border."

He looked at Chu Qiu, and although his serious expression didn't dissipate much, his tone had softened.

Obviously, he also knew something from Chu Qiu's words, negating his previous guess.

"I didn't save you for this." She said arrogantly, although she didn't mean to be dissatisfied, but she also had a subconscious edge, "Besides, your mission went wrong before I appeared. And the original The person who should be returned disappeared without a trace..."

Chu Qiu made a guess based on his words.

"——It's Tiance's camp, there are 'insiders'."

"The side mission has been triggered."

"Submission: Find the Turkic spies in the camp and successfully expose them (0/2)"

There are actually two spies?

After Chu Qiu received the mission, he suddenly sympathized with the soldiers in the camp.

"Miss Chu's words... may not be completely believed." Li Zhen frowned, obviously disapproving of Chu Qiu's suspicion of his brother, but the facts were before him, and he also had some doubts in his heart, so he said this lightly. So far.

"I'm sorry for doubting about the girl."

"You are not wrong." Chu Qiu did not accept his apology, "Your suspicion is very reasonable, there is no need to apologize for it."

He just did what he was supposed to do, and Chu Qiu didn't feel wronged, nor did he have any likes or dislikes about it.

Not having an identity is indeed a troublesome thing. Chu Qiu knew that if Li Zhen didn't ask now, it would be even more troublesome to talk about it when he was in the camp, so he thought for a while and took out the jade token that he had never used from his backpack.

"Girl?" Li Zhen was still thinking about the possibility of what Chu Qiu said, when he suddenly saw a sign thrown in front of him, he subconsciously caught it, "This is..."

He saw the words on the jade tablet clearly, and suddenly stretched his brows. The suspicion that was about to dissipate now disappeared even more.

"This is my identity certificate." Chu Qiu nodded, without explaining too much, and fell silent again.

"I'm sorry." Li Zhen returned the jade plaque to Chu Qiu after reading it, but this time, he looked at her with more trust, "So it's a chivalrous man from Qixiufang."

The jade card that Chu Qiu showed him was the identity proof that Ye Zhiqing personally gave her before she left Yiying Building.

The pavilion of Qixiufang is engraved on the front of the jade plaque, while Chu Qiu's name is engraved on the reverse.Chu Qiu once heard from Ye Zhiqing that only Qixiu and her jade plaques were carved by Aunt Gongsun herself.

This jade plaque represents the identity of "Chu Qiu is a disciple of Qixiufang".At the same time, it is also Aunt Gongsun's explicit protection in front of the martial arts seniors.

This is to tell everyone who is of the same generation as Aunt Gongsun that the person who owns the jade plaque with her own inscription is her important "children".

The author has something to say:

After all, it is Jiansan Tongren, not a detective film, and the conspiracy here will be very simple.

The grace of saving lives is a double-edged sword, but Jun Ye is not a bad person.

Everyone is an adult, so they will naturally look at things from an adult's point of view. It is only a routine for him to ask the heroine. After all, although he has a good impression, the two have only known each other for a few days?Believe in anything casually, if this character is true, the Turks would have killed them all, and the military master would not be able to sit in the position of lieutenant general.

But, Jun Ye's burning point (???) in the subsequent plot, although the traitor is obvious, but the process of getting rid of it is more important.

[small theater]

Chu Qiu: I originally thought that the love script I was taking was a detective story.

Li Zhen: I originally thought Miss Chu was the third force, but I was told that there were traitors in the camp.
