[Twelve Kingdoms] The dance of the vast sky in the mountains

?tasty.

Although there were only green vegetables, the delicacy of the dishes was comparable to that of a VIP meal in a five-star hotel. Zhao Xin only ate with a big appetite, completely ignoring the embarrassed Ye Ming and the handsome man standing beside him with his hands down.

Obviously he paid for it...Ye Ming anxiously avoided Hao Yi's surprised gaze, and she was forced to sit on a chair by Zhao Xinqiang, and she didn't know how to explain their "cheat eating" cheating" behavior.

When tying Zhao Xin's turban, he should tie a tight knot, so as not to be confused by being mistaken for a celebrity now.

Seeing that Zhao Xin finally showed signs of being full, Ye Ming, who was eager to end the meal without moving a chopstick, looked up at Hao Yi, "Excuse me, what are you talking about when you invited us here?"

Although it was preliminarily judged to be a guard, the girl had a different aura when she spoke.Hao Yi thought to himself, cupped his hands and said: "I see that the two of you are not ordinary people, there are dragons and snakes mixed in the street market just now, I'm afraid that there is something wrong with the two of you, so please step aside. I don't know why you are here. Fu, pretending to come to Fang, but do you have any advice?"

As expected of a student of Taixue, he is neither humble nor overbearing even in the face of a famous person in the country, but... Ye Ming said helplessly, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, this child is not a Qilin."

"Not a Qilin?" Hao Yi was very surprised.

"Yes, she is a mountain guest. Kunlun has a hair dyeing technique that can dye her hair golden, but there is no such thing as 'Kirin's hair is golden', so her hair is golden, it's just a coincidence. "

"I see." Haoyi breathed a sigh of relief, "I was just wondering why she was still safe and sound after being drenched in blood."

"Sorry, I misunderstood you." Ye Ming apologized again, and reached out to pull Zhao Xin who was staring at the leftovers.This child has already eaten two people's portion, doesn't she feel sick to her stomach?

"It's nothing, maybe it's better not to be a unicorn." Haoyi smiled slightly, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and handed it to the two of them.

what is that?Bill?So you have to pay for meals?Zhao Xin gave Haoyi a hard look, it's over, she and Xiao Yeming must be slaughtered!She just knew, how can there be a free lunch in the world?She glanced at the piece of paper, Huh?This piece of paper looks familiar... "Wow! Isn't this the list?" As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly covered her mouth.Not good!Ye Ming said that there are very few mountain visitors here, and many people have bad ideas about mountain visitors, so most of the time she is not allowed to speak.

"Yeah." Ye Ming nodded, and handed the list back to Hao Yi, "I'm sorry, I can't take this job."

"What?" Zhao Xin yelled, "Yeming Yeming, didn't you say that the salary is enough for our living expenses for half a year?"

"I also said that it's too dangerous." Ye Ming reminded her.

"But I can protect Xiao Yeming, you don't need to be afraid, just leave it to me!"

I am afraid?here you are?Ye Ming's temples were aching again.Did she hear something strange just now?Or did she hear it wrong?

"Xiao Yeming is just afraid that I will get hurt, right? But, Xiao Yeming said that I can't go back, so I have to work hard to adapt to life here!"

There is no necessary connection between life here and Shengshan, right?Ye Ming opened his mouth, then swallowed the words back.

"Also, didn't Xiao Yeming also say that ascending the mountain can elect a king and make the country stable? Then we also come to help, what's wrong?"

There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that I can't risk my life because I already carry a country on my back.

"and……"

"If you are worried about your companions, I don't think it is necessary." Hao Yi's voice interrupted Zhao Xin's endless persuasion, "We can only hire you, and I can trust this girl from Kunlun. Someone in my family can take care of her, and I have someone in my family who can communicate with her."

After finally waiting for him to finish speaking, Zhao Xin resumed the conversation, "Actually..."

"Besides, even if you don't want to be separated from her, there's nothing wrong with taking her up the mountain together. She is skilled enough to protect herself, and there are many guards in our mountain climbing team, and most of the students have their own self-defense skills , each other can protect each other, you don't need to worry too much."

"Ye Ming, I..." Zhao Xin caught the gap in his tone and hurriedly interjected.

"The rewards are also very good, I think for those of you who are hard-pressed..."

"Have you had enough?" Zhao Xin interrupted him furiously, "What do you mean by interrupting me talking to Ye Ming again and again? Even though I don't understand what you are saying, you should stop it! You Do you think I don’t know what you have instilled in Ye Ming? You are a guy who has lost money in the outside world! Let me tell you, Ye Ming and I have agreed to take this job! The way of the demon, no one will hire you!"

Hao Yi looked at the girl who was a head shorter than him and yelled some incomprehensible words at him in confusion.Could it be that she was very dissatisfied with Ye Ming who urged him to take over the job because she was afraid of going up the mountain and didn't want to be separated from Ye Ming?

He looked at Ye Ming in embarrassment, but Ye Ming was thinking outside the window, as if he didn't hear the noise of the two of them at all, no, it was Zhao Xin alone.

Ascend the mountain...?The unicorn in Fangguo must be eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the mountain climber with anxiety, right?Watching his destined master come all the way through mountains and rivers, what kind of mood is that?Or, after waiting hard, but there is no figure of the person waiting in the crowd, what kind of mood is that?

——Why don’t you come to ascend the mountain?

I have also been accused of this before.

Why not come?Didn't I wait for ten years?In the past ten years, every day of your growth has made me, who is far away, happy.I have been patient. Seeing you when you grow up, I want to build our country as soon as possible.But why don't you come?How I am afraid, if you die before the contract is made, is it not my fault?But you still survived well, but you refused to accept me.

You didn't come to me, I only flew in your direction.

It was an attachment, an attachment that made even a weak girl like Hanlin have to be strong.

Even if she finally accepted the Jade Throne, there must still be scars in that unicorn's heart, right?Because she didn't ascend the mountain.

Ascending a mountain is not just a process, a form, it has more important meanings to Qilin, right?

She turned her head slowly and looked at the two seriously.

"Stop arguing." Speaking of it, I really don't know what the two people who don't understand the language are arguing about, "I'll take this job."

"Great!" Zhao Xin immediately pushed away Hao Yi, who was still being grabbed by the collar by her just now, and jumped in front of Ye Ming, "I knew Xiao Ye Ming would listen to me, so I wouldn't be caught by some guy who hides his knife in a smile." Deceived!" As she spoke, she glared at Haoyi again.

Hao Yi touched his nose, what did she say just now?Ye Ming finally made up his mind, don't let her waver again.

"Zhao Xin," Ye Ming rubbed his aching ears. Did you hear any loud noise just now? "He is not discouraging me, he is one of the protection objects of this work, so he is trying to invite me."

"Protect him?" Zhao Xin yelled strangely, "How many enemies have been scared away by that useless way of killing demons!"

"Zhao Xin, our enemies are hordes of monsters. This is called ascending mountains."

"What?" Zhao Xin's eyes widened. "Swarms of monsters? Such disgusting things are still in groups? It's over, it's over, I'm going to die!"

Looking at Zhao Xin who couldn't help rolling his eyes, Ye Ming smiled softly.

Yes, this is Ascending Mountain.

Chaolin, this time, you have to wait for me.

Is the direction I want to go to you.

Half a month later, Ling Qianmen.

The vermilion lacquer gate with a height of dozens of people is still closed, and a team of Taixue students gathers in front of the gate.

The students covered up their uneasiness with talking and laughing, while their guards all looked solemn.It wasn't the first time for some of the guards to come here. Some of them saw their companions die at the mouth of demons with their own eyes, but they still set foot on this land again.The rest of the mountain climbers followed behind with their teams here and there. Most people would think that it would be safer to go with Taixue's team. After all, the guards recruited had passed the most stringent tests.

Therefore, many people secretly gave gifts to the guards of the Taixue team, hoping to be taken care of.But there was a person in a guard uniform who was left alone by the wall.

It was a girl who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, with silver hair hanging down her shoulders, and a cold expression. Apart from the short sword matched by the guards, there was also a long sword that did not match her short stature.Strangely, there was a cute and well-behaved Meng Ji squatting beside her, rubbing its head on her shoulder from time to time.

She's in the guard?None of the climbers who had no idea came forward to strike up a conversation.

Hao Yi, who was talking with his classmates, glanced back and shook his head disapprovingly.In terms of skill, even among the carefully selected guards, she was the best, and judging from what he saw that day, she was very experienced in dealing with demons.It's just—he looked around—where did the Kunlun girl who was pestering her all day go?She doesn't understand the language here, and it's hard to find if it's crowded.

"Hello! Haoyi!" Hearing his name called out in a strange pronunciation, Haoyi couldn't help but turn around with a wry smile. Sure enough, a girl in a headscarf was standing behind him, with a pair of shocking skull earrings dangling from her ears. Shaking, enough to scare the people who see clearly back away.

The girl in the same guard uniform was holding a lot of paper bags in her hands, and she knew that they were probably snacks such as melon seeds and preserved fruits without looking at them. She took Hao Yi's hand and stuffed something round into his hand , and then quickly ran to Ye Ming's side.

This is - peach?Hao Yi stared at the thing in his hands inexplicably.

"Ye Ming Ye Ming Ye Ming, come and help me get something!" Zhao Xin called while running.

"Zhao Xin, you..." Ye Ming pressed his forehead, "We're not going on a picnic."

"I know." Zhao Xin shoved her big and small bags unceremoniously, "But you must also know how to enjoy yourself while working! Now, we are risking our lives to go up the mountain, right? Although the reward is very generous, but Wouldn’t it be too much of a loss if you can’t come back? This is called early consumption, you don’t understand!”

Facts have proved that Zhao Xin's words are completely correct, because this is the only time she used the money in the remuneration, and she will never have another chance in the future.

"Also, next time I do it, I will carefully avoid it, so as not to get bloody again. I quite like this outfit." Zhao Xin pulled out the dagger at his waist while talking.Ye Ming couldn't help guessing whether she was going to use it as a fruit knife, and in the next second, Zhao Xin took out an apple from a bag in her hand, "That broken door didn't open until noon, right? It's still early, we I'm hungry, let's eat an apple first. By the way, do you want it?" Seeing Ye Ming shaking his head speechlessly, Zhao Xin couldn't help but shrugged, and picked up his dagger to slice the apple, "It's the first time I've used such a big Ye Ming, let me tell you, the hawkers here are really cheating, just now I bought apples, but there was a peach in it. Are peaches cheaper than apples?"

Ye Ming thought for a while and said, "Peaches seem to be more expensive."

"Ah?" Zhao Xin stabbed the apple forcefully annoyed, "I gave that peach to Haoyi. Really, if I knew it, I would leave it to Xiao Yeming."

Accidentally, the apple rolled to the ground all of a sudden.

"Ah, my apple!" Zhao Xin yelled, attracting countless eyes.

If Ye Ming's identity remains to be verified, Zhao Xin is undoubtedly not a member of the guards.Not to mention that turban wrapped like a village woman, look at that sharp dagger, there is actually an apple peel hanging from the tip of the sword!

Meng Ji on the side lowered his head, touched the fallen apple with his nose, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The crowd around burst into a burst of laughter, and then the waves of laughter spread layer by layer, only the reverberation of the mountains could be heard.

hateful!Zhao Xin flung off the apple peel handsomely, and put the dagger back at his waist.

"Ye Ming, come here, you are about to open the door." Luckily, Hao Yi came forward to rescue the two in time, and the surrounding crowd immediately fell silent, looking up at the gate tower above the door in anxiety, waiting for the upcoming Tian Bo to open the door.

"Ye Ming," Zhao Xin tugged at the corner of Ye Ming's clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Why are they so nervous? Could it be that a lot of disgusting monsters poured out as soon as the door opened?" Is it just like at the beginning of the game, until GameOver ?

Seeing her eagerness to try, Ye Ming sighed and put the snacks into Meng Ji's luggage, "No. It's just that entering this door is a battlefield where life and death are uncertain."

battlefield.

Zhao Xin laughed and looked up confidently.She will win, for sure.
