"I've been searching everywhere in the castle of Snowstorm, except for the castle of Raging Fire, but I didn't find anything," Xu Qingshu replied.
"It's not your fault, we've already found seven of them, it's already a great achievement for the ice messenger, we don't need to worry about the other three …" Ji Qing was shaking the wine glass with her back to Xu Qingshu. "Oh right, do you know a man named Yuan Hongxue?"
"You mean, the current castellan of the castle of Raging Fire?" Xu Qingshu did not get involved in this matter, but she had also heard about it.
She herself was puzzled as to how Lei Ming had disappeared in just one night.
"I'm talking about before. I heard that an old man called Yuan Hongxue came to your White Riding Camp a few days ago. Sit down and talk, don't just stand there, my Little Qingqing." Ji Qing held two glasses of red wine and turned around charmingly.
"That's right." Xu Qingshu knew that it was impossible to hide what happened in the castle of Snowstorm from this woman in front of her, but it had nothing to do with her, so she didn't hesitate to tell the truth, "there was indeed a man called Yuan Hongxue in my cavalry battalion, he was recommended by the guards at the gate. When he came, he also brought a little boy with him. At first, I thought he was just a worker, but on the night of the castle of Raging Fire …"
Then, Xu Qingshu narrated everything that happened on the night of the castle of Raging Fire, including the part where Ning Huiyan was killed. She didn't know anything about Yuan Hongxue, so she didn't need to hide any details.
While tasting the red wine, Ji Qing listened to Xu Qingshu's narration with a smile. In the end, she said casually, "I asked the handymen at the gate and the cavalry camp to draw a portrait of Yuan Hongxue. It looks almost exactly the same as the portrait of Yuan Hongxue sent by the informant in the castle of Raging Fire. I think they are the same person."
"Castellan, I don't know …" Xu Qingshu quickly stood up. She knew that this was the real reason why Ji Qing came to find her today, but she really didn't know anything about it. Although she was surprised, she still managed to stay calm.
"Sit down … sit down. I knew you would react like this. No matter how suspicious you are, you would never suspect my Little Qingqing." Ji Qing giggled. She pulled Xu Qingshu's arm and said in a low voice, "the ice messenger asked about it personally, so I can't do anything about it. But I have already found out that the little boy also met Yuan Hongxue on the way here. This person's origin is unknown, and he deliberately lurked in your female cavalry camp. His purpose is unknown, but it might have something to do with the sneak attack that day. Anyway, we don't know what to do now."
"Thank you City Lord for your trust!" Xu Qingshu had never been able to see through the woman in front of her, so she didn't know whether she was telling the truth or not.
"We're all sisters, let's not talk about this …" Let me tell you something. What do you think of Ning Huiyan, the handsome guy who just went out … "Ji Qing let out a burst of unrestrained laughter.
Behind the laughter, the image of the "corpse" in Ji Qing's mind appeared again and again. But logically speaking, it was impossible for them to be the same person, because it was completely contradictory. Yuan Hongxue would not help the castle of Snowstorm to kill his own people, so where did this damn old man come from?
*****
One day later, outside the castle of Snowstorm.
"Have you heard?" a limping woman walked closer to a man with a broken arm and said mysteriously.
"What did you hear? Can't you just calm down and save your energy? Don't starve to death! "San Fazi said discontentedly. This woman's body was stinky, he felt annoyed whenever she was near him.
The limping woman looked around, but she didn't walk away. Instead, she got closer and said, "San Fazi, don't you know? I heard that the castellan of the castle of Raging Fire has changed!"
"Hey, Mei Gui, what does it have to do with you, a limping man? Go away, go away! Don't bother me! "San Fazi scolded angrily.
These days, he was not in a good mood, not because of anything else, but because of uncle Youcai. Since uncle Youcai was taken away by the people from the castle of Snowstorm, grandpa Yuan's business with him was completely ruined. It was a big business, the business of food was related to his life.
The limping woman spat on the ground and scolded, "You damn San Fazi, why did you bite the hand that fed you? I'm here to show you the way!"
San Fazi didn't even open his eyes, he just laid on the ground motionlessly like a dead body. After so many days, he had already honed his ability to stay motionless for a day. But if he moved too much, he would get hungry faster.
The limping woman didn't give up, she moved closer to San Fazi's ear and whispered, "San Fazi, do you know who the castellan is? Listen carefully, his surname is Yuan Hongxue, grandpa Yuan … "
In fact, her information was wrong, the castellan of the castle of Raging Fire should be Cao Zhengyi, but now the name Yuan Hongxue had spread like wildfire, so many people got it wrong.
"Get out of here! What castellan? What grandpa Yuan? Don't disturb my sleep … "San Fazi suddenly jumped up and grabbed the lame woman's collar. He widened his eyes and shouted," it's grandpa Yuan? The grandpa Yuan who came here before? The one with the kid? "
When the limping woman saw San Fazi "took the bait", she immediately cleared her throat and acted like she didn't care about San Fazi at all.
"I say, Mei Gui, can't you say something?" San Fazi's face changed faster than turning a page of a book. He even found that his heart was starting to contract.
"I'm hungry, I don't have the energy to talk," the limping woman said in a weak voice.
"Okay, okay, it's just some food, I'll give it to you, I'll give it all to you, hurry up!" San Fazi took out a piece of black food that was hidden inside his clothes and handed it to the crippled woman. He said in a distressed tone.
"That's more like it!" The limping woman took the food and held it in her hands like it was made of gold. She kept eating it bit by bit as if she was afraid that she would eat it all at once. "Let me tell you, San Fazi, you are going to be very lucky this time! I heard that the castellan of the castle of Raging Fire is an old man named Yuan Hongxue. When I heard this name, I paid attention to his appearance. He is really similar to the old man we met before. I think you should go and find him as soon as possible. Maybe he will tell you something, and it will be enough for you to live for half a year! "
Just when San Fazi wanted to ask something else, he heard brother Kui rushing over with a group of people. When he saw San Fazi, he said in a low voice, "San Fazi, come with me, the castle of Raging Fire is very generous this time. The same stone, but twice the amount of food. I don't know if there will be any left. Hurry up, don't waste time, let's go!"
*****
Two days later, in a small wooden house in the castle of Snowstorm.
"Today, I secretly gathered everyone here, I want to hear your opinion. Do you want to stay or leave?" The woman sitting in the front said slowly. Her hair was tied up in a bun, and her face was slightly swollen. Obviously, it was caused by a long-term lack of food.
"Sister Jiang, you can decide, we will listen to you," a young man who was biting a branch said casually.
"For us, Skywalkers get a stable ration of food, and the science and engineering students get some as well. But for us, most of us are liberal arts students, we don't have a quota, so we can only starve. Two days ago, one of us starved to death! These two days, I have been thinking, even if we Skywalkers give them all the food, it still won't be enough, but now the castle of Raging Fire promised to give us double the food, so … "
Jiang Qianqin suddenly noticed that Qin Qiying seemed to be absent-minded. She didn't know what she was thinking, so her heart skipped a beat.
"Major Qin, what do you think?"
Qin Qiying's reaction was very fast. She first responded with a "hmm", and then she said with a serious face, "Since Miss Jiang has gathered everyone here, and brought this matter up, I also want to tell you something else. We have news about the doctor!" Qin Qiying said.
"News about the doctor?"
Jiang Qianqin was dazed for a second, then she immediately said happily.
Since the attack on the castle of Raging Fire, there had been no news about the doctor, many people thought that he was dead.
"A high-level informant from the castle of Raging Fire found me and sent me a letter from the doctor. In the letter, he said that he and Major Du have already established a foothold in the castle of Raging Fire, and the slavery system in the castle of Raging Fire has been abolished. He asked us to find a way to" sneak "out of the castle of Raging Fire as soon as possible," Qin Qiying nodded her head and said.
"Can I take a look at the letter?" Jiang Qianqin thought for a second and said cautiously. She had always been confused about the disappearance of Major Du, and the doctor had never told her anything about it.
"Burn it, you know, if we find out about it, we will be treated as a traitor and sentenced to death," Qin Qiying shook her head and said.
"Do you think it's credible?" Jiang Qianqin frowned her brows and explained, "I don't mean the doctor, I mean, is it possible that someone is pretending to be the doctor, or maybe the doctor was forced to write this letter?"
"I have thought about it for a long time, and I think that the possibility is very small. We are not powerful people, there is no need for them to spend so much effort on such a big castle of Raging Fire. They even used a high-level informant," Qin Qiying said.
"Okay, if that's the case, then it's decided! This kind of thing can't be delayed, if it is delayed, it will lead to more changes. We will leave tonight, everyone, spread out and inform your classmates, if there is any situation, run away immediately, don't get caught! "Jiang Qianqin lowered her voice and said.
"Ok, the doctor said that he has already arranged people to meet us inside and outside the castle, I will be responsible for contacting the informant later," Qin Qiying added.
At this time, someone suddenly stood up and said, "No, you can leave, but I can't! Tan Ning is still locked in the central stronghold, I can't leave her alone! "
"Gazi, squat down! This is not up to you, what's the use of you staying here alone? Can you save her? "young master Zhuo pulled him back and said sternly.
"I don't care, I can't leave her alone! Brother Zhuo, Sister Jiang, I know you are doing this for everyone's sake, but I just can't leave, I … "Gazi broke away from young master Zhuo's hand and said firmly.
"You!" young master Zhuo said angrily.
"Forget it, Xiao Zhuo, let him stay here, even if we kidnap him, he will come back," Jiang Qianqin sighed and comforted young master Zhuo.
"Let's go …"
*****
Three days later, at the entrance of the yellow mountain area.
A group of men and women with tattered clothes walked into the misty mountainous area. Perhaps they were exhausted from running for their lives, or perhaps they were suffering from hunger, but the group of only thirty or so people fell to the ground one by one as soon as they entered, gasping for breath.
On their swollen and sallow faces, they didn't know if they were happy that they had just escaped from a group of monsters, or if they were desperate for their lives.
When they were still in a state of shock, a group of women dressed in white clothes surrounded them. The refugees were screaming and curling up together in panic. Their faces were pale, and they were crying, "We don't have food, we don't have food, don't eat us, don't eat us!" …
What made them even more confused was that before they saw those women in white clothes attack them, a group of heavily armed men dressed in red clothes rushed towards them. The leader of the group was holding a torch and shouted loudly, "women from the castle of Snowstorm, listen up, our grandpa Yuan said, as long as you are willing to surrender, not only the food will be doubled, but also the martial arts will be given to you. This is a good deal, think carefully!"
"Sisters, don't be fooled, there are no good bastards in the castle of Raging Fire, they are all liars, get ready to fight!" the leader of the group frowned and shouted loudly.
The man dressed in red clothes was furious, "women who don't know what's good for them! Brothers, listen up, grandpa Yuan said that if we can capture a Skywalker from the castle of Snowstorm alive, we will get one level of military merit, and if they are dead, we will get half a level of military merit! Now that the military merit is right in front of us, let's go! "
The fierce battle instantly broke out, the battle between ice and fire almost flattened a small hill.
Half an hour later, the Skywalkers from the castle of Raging Fire gradually gained the upper hand …
*****
The castle of Snowstorm, the central stronghold.
An extremely beautiful woman was standing in the room with a cold expression on her face. In front of her, the castellan Ji Qing said seriously, "… Senior ice messenger, if this continues, in less than seven days, the castle of Snowstorm will be empty!"
