"How far is it? I... I can't make it..." Qian Liming gasped heavily, and his face was a little blue.
"I told you in advance to walk down the main road and have to take the mountain road with us. Who doesn't know your skills? What can you do?" master Deng muttered, grabbed Qian Liming's clothes and dragged him up, then stretched out his hand and pointed forward, "well, it's here."
Qian Liming raised his head and looked along the direction of Deng Shi's fingers. From near to far, the trees became more and more sparse. At the end of this winding mountain road, a broken ancient city appeared, and the bottom of his eyes burst out excited light: "finally!"
Qian Liming had been to the Acropolis before, but it was the first time for Li Qinglai. In the declining sun, the mottled ancient city has a strong meaning of vicissitudes, which can't help but make people feel numerous.
"This place has been for years," Li Qing said softly.
"Hundreds of years." Caiyun replied faintly, "the Acropolis was built by the first town envoy in Longxi. It used to be much more spectacular than it is now. Later, Longxi was ruined by years of war."
Li Qing sighed: "it's not easy to survive the war."
Master Deng came to the front and stood side by side with Li Qing: "When the Acropolis was the most prosperous, the resident population could reach millions, but now it is less than 100000. Even so, it is now the largest town in Longxi. Chinese military supplies are continuously deployed here and then transported to the front line. The military regards it as the largest military supply distribution center in Longxi and an important stronghold against the Xilong army Naturally, our guard is also quite strict. After we go in, we try to be careful to avoid conflict with the local garrison. "
Li Qing nodded: "I see."
Looking down at the time, Li Qing turned and asked Qian liming, "how long will it take for your part to arrive?"
Qian Liming also looked at the electronic watch on his wrist and squeezed his eyebrows. "They spend more time on the main road than us, but it's only an hour at most."
"OK." Li Qing nodded, then sat down with his back against a stone, took out a military kettle and drank water, "wait for them here."
Qian Liming looked around at others and saw that Feng Yucheng didn't raise any objection. He couldn't help looking strange: "brother, what do you mean?"
Li Qing didn't speak, but the Qin Wu Dynasty patted Qian liming on the shoulder: "you're stupid. What if there's an ambush in the city? So let your mercenaries go to thunder first, or you think we've walked most of the mountain road to visit mountains and rivers?"
"I'm not stupid to ask." Qian Liming glared and looked at Li Qing again: "brother, do you believe Yang Xun?"
"That's my brother. Naturally, I believe him." Li Qing said casually.
Qian liming was more puzzled: "what does that mean? You let my mercenaries enter the city. Aren't you afraid of Yang Xun ambushing us?"
"It has nothing to do with whether I believe him or not." Li Qing took a deep look at Qian Liming. "It's the rule of this line to be careful. Yang Xun won't ambush us, doesn't mean he won't be used by others."
He opened his mouth and Qian liming was silent.
Each of them found a place to rest, waited quietly, and stopped talking to each other. The rhubarb dog lay lazily at Caiyun's feet. After Caiyun fed it some water, he comfortably closed his eyes.
From this point of view, you can clearly see the straight road outside the Acropolis. Several people didn't wait too long, and a motorcade appeared in the field of vision.
Qian Liming regained some strength, jumped onto a big stone, looked through the telescope for a while, turned around and nodded at Li Qing: "it's our people."
"HMM." Li Qing answered softly, and then there was no more words.
When the motorcade arrived outside the Acropolis, it gradually slowed down and then drove slowly into the city. After they entered the city, Li Qing waited for more than ten minutes to make sure that there was nothing different in the city. Then he picked up his backpack again, crossed the hill and walked towards the gate of the Acropolis.
"How did your car get in?" Li Qing asked Qian Liming.
Hearing Li Qing mention this, Qian Liming couldn't help looking pleased: "what are we doing? Although the military's weapons and ammunition are transported by themselves, if it involves survival materials, it's absolutely necessary for our old money. Without me, what do the soldiers in the front line eat, drink and sleep? It's unclear."
"Take it easy." master Deng took out his ears and turned his eyes disdainfully. "Do you really think we are short of heart? Kuangda logistics is an enterprise near the port. The Empire will rest assured that all survival materials will be delivered to you for transportation? You just account for a part of it. Don't fool us with this."
After being exposed by Deng Shi's words, Qian Liming smiled with embarrassment: "although that's what I said, it at least shows that it's not difficult for me to get in and out of a small Acropolis."
Li Qing was too lazy to listen to Qian Liming's boasting. He turned his head to look at Caiyun: "what's the matter with you? You've been worried since just now."
Caiyun shook his head, raised his small face and stared at Li Qing. Suddenly, he smiled: "when we get to the gate of the city, we'll be separated. Won't you go back to the stockade again?" Li Qing was slightly stunned. Suddenly, he didn't know where to answer. What does Caiyun mean? Is she... Reluctant to give up herself? "No, how old is the little girl... It should be my heart and love..." Li Qing whispered to himself, but the stiff expression on his face was enough to show his guilty degree at the moment. As several people walked in, fine bullet holes were clearly visible on the mottled wall. However, under the devastation of the war, the border town showed extraordinary peace. Li Qing raised her head. On the watchtower of the ancient city building, she could see the Longxi army guarding here in full armed force, together with the slightly scarlet afterglow of the sunset, showing a spirit of killing. "Go into the city." Qian Liming said and couldn't wait to enter the Acropolis. The soldiers in Longxi, who were guarding the gate, glanced at the outsiders in the line and looked away. Li Qing's imaginary body search did not happen. "The second uncle's shop is on this street." Caiyun stretched out his hand and pointed, with a complex look in his eyes. Li Qing hesitated for a moment, then nodded softly, "well, goodbye." "well... Then I'll go." Bei Chi gently bit his lips, and Caiyun called to the rhubarb dog, "rhubarb!" the rhubarb dog around Li Qing suddenly pricked up its ears and ran to Caiyun quickly. Gently waved his jade hand, Caiyun turned around and left without looking back. Li Qing had been staring at her back and disappeared at the end of the street. She was unwilling to take back her eyes for a long time. She looked bleak and somewhat disappointed. Feng Yucheng patted Li Qing on the shoulder: "the girl doesn't know where she came from. Don't be too emotional." "well." Li Qing nodded and immediately waved, "Lao Qian, lead the way." "OK." he was already wary of Caiyun, so Qian Liming didn't feel reluctant to leave the former, but relaxed in his heart. The streets are full of dust and there are a lot of military vehicles coming and going, but although the streets of the Acropolis are not comparable to big cities, they are still lively. Some shops are still open as usual. Local residents sit at the door with small stools and talk. It seems that they have long been used to this atmosphere. The town is very small. After only walking for more than ten minutes, a small hotel appeared in sight. Li Qing looked up and saw that there were four dark red characters on the plaque that had been eroded white by rain and sunlight. Four Seasons Inn. Qian Liming said with a smile, "although this place is broken, it is already the best place in the city. I have wrapped up the whole Inn, let the soldiers and ruffians live in the west, and clean it up in the East and keep it for us." "no wonder Yang Xun will notice you if you swagger so much." Li Qing shook his head and then fixed his eyes on the people at the gate of the hotel. The door of the Four Seasons Inn was open. A group of rough men in camouflage clothes were moving things from the car. Li Qing recognized that these people were the mercenaries who came back from the stockade. The tall and thin man under Qian liming, who had seen before, was standing at the door with his waist crossed, talking to a middle-aged man wearing a black baseball cap. The two seemed to be arguing loudly. Qian Liming shouted: "what's the matter?" the tall and thin man turned his head and saw that it was Qian Liming. He hurried to meet him with small steps: "Mr. Qian, you're back. Someone is looking for you. I said you've gone another way, but he doesn't believe it." when he approached, Qian Liming looked at the middle-aged man with a baseball cap, Narrowed his eyes: "you're looking for me?" "I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for Li Qing." the middle-aged man replied in a low voice. "I am." Li Qing said faintly, "you are..." Mr. Yang asked me to pick you up. "Just this sentence, Li Qing knew in his heart. It seems that the middle-aged man should be from Jinmen. He received Yang Xun's orders to pick up his people to see Mo Li. "Well, I see. Where is he?" Li Qing asked after a moment of silence. "Follow me." the middle-aged man said coldly, then stretched out his hand to press the baseball cap on his head and walked straight forward, aiming to lead li Qing and others. After nuzui, Li Qing winked at Wen Yang. The latter rushed up a few steps, put his hand around the middle-aged man's neck and fell him to the ground.
