[Sword III] Seeking Wings

"Why?" Tang Xiaoyi was taken aback.

"I want you to take care of it, let's go."

"...What are you doing!!! Do you know how much I paid for such a piece of land? Do you know how much effort I put into helping you clean up the room?...Yes, I begged them shamelessly, but it was for Who?!... What the hell do you have to lose your temper with me?!"

Hearing the displeasure in Chi Xiao's attitude, Tang Xiaoyi yelled and exploded on the spot.

Now she has remembered that Chunyang and Shence had a deep feud.

Chi Xiao was not in a coma before, and apparently heard the whole process of her negotiations with the Shence Army.

It's understandable that he didn't want to stay in the crappy place where Shen Ce gave alms.

But take all her good intentions as a donkey's liver and lungs...

Tolerable or unbearable!

In particular, since he was so determined, why didn't he make it clear beforehand?After everyone begged her, the money was paid, and the room was tidied up, she suddenly came out noble and glamorous...

Isn't this playing tricks on her maliciously!

Tang Xiaoyi kept trying to figure it out, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the little impression he had built up with great difficulty before, and the change in his impression of the Taoist priest, all of which shattered in his heart at this moment.

If it wasn't for Modin tugging at her sleeve, she felt that she would definitely pounce on him and beat him up.

Tang Xiaoyi looked down at Modin who was holding a blanket in his arms and was about to take a nap, and his heart calmed down.

"...Hmph, okay, you have the ability to go alone, we won't go." She shouted to Chi Xiao's back, stood in front of Modin and folded her arms, indicating that the two of them were a united front, and the minority obeyed the majority.

However, at this moment, Modin ran around her.

——Chi Xiao had already walked out of the room, and there was no wall to support him in the open space. Seeing that he was about to fall, Modin hurried over to help him.

The two got into the grain truck, and Chi Xiao waved to Tang Xiaoyi.

……

"Damn rat——!!!"

With a roar, three corners of the roof of the broken hut collapsed.

Tang Xiaoyi ran towards the grain cart with his eyes burning, but he didn't see the commanding heights in the Fengyeze area behind him. The camp flags that had been flying before had both been broken in the smoke.

***

The three of them drove away from the Shence barracks.

Because of the anger in his heart, Tang Xiaoyi stepped on the pedal with the momentum to kick someone to death, and even Modin on the other side was forced to speed up in a hurry. On the road to the barracks, grain trucks roared past like chariots.

There was a loud roar of driving, and the two drivers became furious and panicked again, so they didn't realize that after the vehicle accelerated, Chi Xiao, who was sitting in the middle, hung a ball on the frame behind the three of them.

——It was the source of the misfire gas that was picked up when the battlefield was purified earlier.

Now, when Chi Xiao hung it up, it had been rekindled.

The broken thatched hut they were in was located in a remote place, and to leave from the gate, they had to go through the entire Shence Camp.Because of the lax military discipline of Shence and the many sundries on the ground blocking the way, they could only go around almost every road in circles.

The speed of the grain truck was fast, and no matter how it turned, it was against the wind. The gas in the ball evaporated silently and violently behind the three of them, and soon enveloped the entire Shence barracks.

Also because of the same headwind, Tang Xiaoyi didn't notice that Chi Xiao was holding the backpack with the broken sword in his arms, whispering like a dream.

"……sorry."

***

After roaring for more than ten miles, the grain truck finally slowed down.

Tang Xiaoyi calmed down, Modin was almost tired, and Chi Xiao seemed to know his mistake.

Now that he has recovered a bit, seeing that Modin was almost out of breath from exhaustion, he immediately exchanged seats with him, sat on the side and stepped on the pedals to drive.

He also washed the last bag of wild fruits in the car, thoughtfully picked out Tang Xiaoyi's favorite varieties, packed them into another small bag tied with a bow, and obediently stood next to her when she slapped him across from Modin, and at the same time Gently put the fruit into her palm.

Tang Xiaoyi took the fruit, replied with a hard "hum", turned around and started to eat.

She slowed down while eating, at the current speed of the grain truck, Chi Xiao could already adjust her breath while driving.

"The relationship between the two of them is very good... What is this, a fight at the head of the bed and a fight at the end of the bed?" Seeing this, Modin was in a trance recalling the eclectic scene when the three of them first met last night, and he didn't feel that he was making up his mind at all. What is wrong with the wording, "Perhaps when they arrive at Maple Leaf Ze, they will fight like last night, and then they will make up again."

Facing the warm sunset, smelling the sweet fragrance of wild fruits again, hearing the creaking sound of locomotives, and the clinking of pots and pans on the car are peacefully intertwined, but Modin no longer has the worries of the previous day in his heart.

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard Tang Xiaoyi yell in surprise: "——Fuck me! What happened to Fengyeze?!"

Before Modin had time to stand up and look, he only heard the roar of the wind beside him, and Tang Xiaoyi had already opened his big wings and flew into the sky.

"...Damn it! The Spike Army actually occupied Maple Leaf Lake!" She looked into the distance where the gunpowder was billowing, and shouted anxiously in the air, "All the forces of the camp are withdrawing to the direction of Ziyuan Mountain. Shall we turn around and join them now? !"

"No, go to the original place, today is the time." Chi Xiao still sat with downcast eyes.

"To deliver supper to the Spike Army?" Tang Xiaoyi was taken aback.

"To get a new mission, we still need to cooperate for a while. Don't worry, Zishi Spike Army has already withdrawn from Maple Leaf Ze."

"How do you know?... The strategy that your father told you?" Tang Xiaoyi asked, put away the mechanism and returned to the car.

"...Why didn't Mrs. Jun tell me?" She thought a little unhappy.

In terms of brains, although Tang Xiaoyi is not as good at predicting things as a god, he is also recognized as reliable by nearly [-] people in the villain's stronghold.She has been serving as a pure combat position that has nothing to do with strategy all the year round, but most of the tasks that the military lady sends her are difficult tasks that require wit and response. If there is a surprise attack team, she often serves as the team leader.

But now, in this food transportation mission that looks like a cooperation arrangement between the two camps, the military lady who has always been meticulous and cautious, and who trusts her very much is tight-lipped. Except for the mission location and time limit, she has the same position as her. Chi Xiao, who is also only in charge of fighting, knows everything, looking like a "captain" entrusted to the overall situation.

...It makes me sick to think about it.

Just when Tang Xiaoyi started to brainstorm again, Chi Xiao answered her question just now: "No. I received the same instructions as you."

"Then how do you know that we still have a new mission and the Spike Army will retreat?" she continued to ask.

"It's my own judgment, trust me."

"reason?"

"Don't tell you."

... This is even more annoying than Cang Dae Jun Niang making him the captain.

Especially at this time, although Chi Xiao was answering her question, he never looked at her directly, but leaned halfway on the frame holding his broken sword package, looking lazy, and even his voice was full of like It's a distracted perfunctory.

Tang Xiaoyi wanted to beat him up again.

However, when she raised her hand, she suddenly heard Chi Xiao whispering to her again:

"You can figure it out. If you have any questions tomorrow, I'll explain. I'm sleepy now.

——Don't worry, no matter what happens during this trip, I will protect you. "

……What is this nonsense?

Hearing the last sentence, Tang Xiaoyi was stunned immediately, and forgot to retract his half-stretched fist.

This time, Chi Xiao's voice didn't have an inexplicably familiar gentleness that made her subconsciously trust her, but it was still the usual cold, dignified, and unquestionable.

But she still believed, accepted, and obeyed without hesitation.

——Because she found that she had begun to recognize that what the person around her said was a promise, and what she did was a way.

Although they have only known each other for less than two days, the two have already experienced many running-in and difficulties.Today's Tang Xiaoyi still really doesn't like this cold-tempered camp opponent, but he also deeply feels that he has sincerely trusted his ability.

—and kindness.

After venomously replying, "Get out! Who will die, let the mouse protect you!" After that, Tang Xiaoyi didn't speak anymore, and just continued to drive towards Fengye Ze.

***

In fact, Tang Xiaoyi would have been able to think very well if he hadn't been provoked by Chi Xiao all the way.Now that she has calmed down for a while, she has quickly sorted out the recent situation, and then she is no longer worried about the safety of the overall situation:

The faction's attack on Xiaoguo Camp, which seemed to have no strategic significance a month ago, caused the main force of the Spike Army there to retreat to the northern checkpoint area. Now it seems that the purpose should be to force the passive Shence Army to join the battle.

——Or even darker, using the hands of the Spike Army to eliminate the pig teammates who had a vegetarian meal in their corpses.

Now, the strategic striker guarding the checkpoint has been solved. Presumably Cang Dad and Jun Niang will use their connections in the army soon to ensure that the key official roads are replaced with more suitable guards.

——Similarly, the reason why the grain carts snatched from the Wolf Fang Army by the three without a banner just happened to be able to pass through the checkpoint during the vacuum period after the war, should also be due to the timing arrangement of the two leaders.

The fall of Maple Leaf Lake this time was a chess piece that had to be exchanged to lure the Spike Army to attack the camp and abandon the official road area that was in a vacuum.

This pawn will be taken back soon.

Ziyuan Mountain is the rear general base of the two camps, but because a large number of people were transferred to the stronghold and Fengyeze, there were very few remaining troops, and there was nothing to do with the terrain. Therefore, after taking down Fengyeze, the main force of the Spike Army directly pursued there.

At first glance, it seems that the base area will be taken away by them with overwhelming force, but they don't know who the two guards stationed there are:

The villain, Gu Moyu, and Mu Xuanying, allied with Haoqi.

If they are alone, they are far from capable of turning the tide of battle, but if they fight side by side——

There is no gate in the world that they cannot guard, no battle that they cannot win.

——So soon, the Spike Army will taste the miraculous Jedi counterattack.They will be trapped in the narrow mountain road, savoring the despair brought by the opponent's overwhelming combat power, until the companions who have just occupied Fengyeze have to abandon this relatively isolated, easy-to-attack and difficult-to-defend small stronghold, and come to Keep them safe from total annihilation.

However, considering the terrain and the battle situation just seen, even if it is the smoothest, it is impossible for all of this to happen before midnight tonight.

... Then, what did the Taoist priest mean when he said that the Zishi Spike Army would definitely withdraw from Maple Leaf Lake?
