Chapter 51 - Task (V)
At the same time, two black figures charged over, working together to force the human to come back.
But at this time, Chu Yi Chen, Yan Li and Jiang Siyue were all struck dumb. Just from Zhuo Qing Yan's actions just now, it had already stunned them.
Putting the woman in front of her, Zhuo Qingyan squatted down and touched the man's neck. This time, she was completely dead.
He then looked at the back of that person's head and saw a bloody hole. He could not help but raise his eyebrows. When he looked at the man's neck, he could not help but frown.
"Who killed him?" She stood up and asked coldly.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and immediately gathered around. At this moment, a member of the team raised his hand. "Captain, it's me."
"Did your posture change? Are you wiping your neck or disfiguring your face? Where did this slash go? " Zhuo Qingyan asked, pointing at the dead body on the ground.
"I'm sorry, captain!" The member whispered.
"The one you're feeling sorry for wasn't me, but yourself. If this person had been a little stronger back then and didn't want to play dead, the one who's lying here right now isn't him, it's you!" Zhuo Qingyan glared at him angrily.
The team members did not dare to reply, only lowering their heads.
"It's about time. Hide yourself immediately and wait for the escort team to arrive at the official road. We will follow them all the way until we enter the city." After Zhuo Qingyan finished, she shook her head helplessly.
Just as they were about to leave, she spoke again, "Throw this person out." She kicked the dead man.
Two more team members came over and took them away. She let out a sigh of relief, then waved to the three of them. She ran into a nearby forest, found a large rock, and squatted there.
"Truly worrisome …" She sighed softly.
"This is already pretty good, don't be too impatient." Chu Yi Chen lightly patted her hand.
"You all know how difficult it is to train these people. Besides, they are all dark guards. They can obviously increase the chances of survival, but they are not so careless. If they really die, that would be an injustice …" She still shook her head helplessly.
Chu Yi Chen understood her meaning, "They will understand. After this incident, they will definitely increase their training."
She knew that this zero casualty was just an idealization, but it was still better to have fewer casualties. She did not want to see her comrades beside her fall one after another. Every time, there would be bone-piercing pain.
At this time, the sky was already bright. From the Yang Town, a group of people and horses drove out. Seeing the carriage pass by, everyone finally felt relieved.
A whistle sounded, and two groups of people sprang out from the two sides of the road. They ran into the forest, and soon, two teams of riders were following the group from a distance.
Chu Yi Chen, Yan Li and Jiang Siyue also got on their horses, but when they turned around, they saw Zhuo Qing Yan still standing there, and there were no horses left.
"Where's the horse?" Chu Yi Chen asked.
"Come, come. I'll ride the same horse as the night wind. I don't know how to ride a horse …" Zhuo Qingyan shrugged her shoulders, speaking very calmly.
Chu Yi Chen chuckled, and extended her hand, "You don't know how to."
"Why not? I'm not a super … There won't be any shame to being a deity, at most, I'll just practice! " Zhuo Qingyan rolled her eyes at him, but still reached out to grab him. He pulled her up onto the horse and sat in front of her.
Yan Li and Jiang Siyue also laughed and agreed with her words: If you don't know how to study, then so be it.
The journey was peaceful all the way until nightfall. They watched as the convoy entered the capital.
They all gathered in a small forest three miles outside the city.
The team members had already changed their clothes. Zhuo Qingyan waved to them and everyone dispersed to enter the city.
It was only when he returned to the manor that the mission was finally completed.
Standing in the center of the Special Training Team, Zhuo Qingyan sat in a nearby chair. She did not raise her head, but placed her hands under her chin, thinking about something.
The team members stood orderly in front of her, not daring to even breathe loudly.
After a long while, she let out a long sigh. "Can anyone tell me what kind of fatal mistake occurred during this operation?"
Everyone looked at each other without saying a word. In the end, Youlan stood up and said, "Captain, it was my mistake. I almost let the enemy escape …"
"The ones that I've let you practice before, you think are boring, unexciting, uninteresting, and not fun, but these are exactly the things that are the basis of life saving. Today's matter can be considered as giving you a reminder, if there's a next time, and no one discovers them in time to make up for it, then, I have no guarantee of how many of you will be able to return from this mission." Zhuo Qingyan looked at them calmly.
"Captain, I'm sorry …" Ye Lan lowered his head. He truly knew his mistake.
"But I still want to hear what you have to say. "The difference is too great." It was something Zhuo Qingyan did not think about as she walked.
Ye Lan raised his head and looked at her before lowering his head. He said in a low voice, "He's too tall. I misjudged his position …"
Everyone was so frightened that they started trembling. Youlan immediately stood at attention, puffing out his chest as he yelled, "He's too tall! When he attacked, he misjudged our position …"
Zhuo Qingyan immediately covered her head. She wanted to cry. This won't do, how could I have met such an idiot!
The others were also looking at him with a trace of sadness in their eyes. They were all worried for him.
"From today onwards, practice your basic dagger skills again. I will make these movements your instinct. They grow in your bones. If you fail again, no one will be able to collect your corpse!" Zhuo Qingyan stood up and roared.
But on the morning of the second day, when these twenty men each received an iron plate from their hands, their eyes flashed with excitement and emotion.
On the front of the plate, there was a mark of a wolf's head, and on the bottom, there were two words, "wolfhound"! On the other side were the names and numbers of each of them.
This is the symbol of your status, there are some words that others cannot understand, but you can understand it yourself, the words written here are your serial number, and below it, is your name, and right on the front is our Special Training Team's name, 'wolfhound'. This is a name bestowed by the Prince, don't use it blindly. Zhuo Qingyan looked at them with a smirk.
"Yes sir!" Twenty men who were standing at attention and puffing their chests out shouted loudly.
"In addition, I have another mission for you all." Zhuo Qingyan smiled slightly.
However, the hearts of all the members trembled as they looked worriedly at her.
Zhuo Qingyan raised her eyebrow at them, "From today onwards, there will be a new batch of twenty people in the team, and you will be the ones to lead them!"
Everyone looked at each other, then they were stunned.
