Chapter 90: The Red Ritual (44)

Silently watching the patrolling soldiers chase a thief named Jimmy away, Qing finally leans against the wall with a sigh of relief. The palm of the hand that clenched the hilt of the sword was released, and the center of the hand was already full of sweat, and cold sweat beads were also flowing on the forehead.

It was so thrilling just now! If it weren't for the thief's help, his actions would have been exposed! Qing is not so afraid! Or rather, it's scared! This fear is not the fear of death, but the fear that the siege ceremony will be a great blow to oneself in a few days! The death of a large number of your own soldiers is uncomfortable if you don't die by yourself! So Qing never wants this to happen!

"Sorry! If I hadn't -----"

"It's not your business. It was we who underestimated the wisdom of King Talucci! I didn't think carefully that he would send soldiers to garrison here! It's my responsibility! You don't need to blame yourself----"

The exit interrupted the man's self-blame, and he knew that he couldn't be blamed for it! Because I am the initiator of this action, it is necessary for me to take all the responsibility!

Qing didn't leave immediately, because wandering around aimlessly would only waste more time. So Qing was still leaning against the cold wall, thinking about her next move. It's obviously impossible to lurk here! So? Where else can we go? It's almost dawn.

Looking up at the reddish sky, the sun is estimated to have revealed about half of it! There is no time left to be idle! Green must find a safe hiding spot!

Suddenly, an idea crossed Qing's mind! Qing couldn't help but move her gaze to the castle tower that had been standing tall, where that huge building must have a place to hide itself! As long as you can hide inside, you may be able to use the advantage of geography to find out more information!

Qing retracted his gaze and nodded slightly to decide what he thought. So! Now that you've thought of it, do it! With this in mind, Qing poked his head out to check whether it was safe to look around.

"Change your plans! Let's go to the castle! With me here, we'll be able to get in! ”

"Are you crazy? It's not a casual place to enter! ”

"That's right! We're going to go in. We didn't choose the time---- you lived in it for seven years, I think you should be familiar with the structure inside, right? ”

"Do you really think so? ----”

The man didn't answer Qing's question, but directly asked Qing's determination! He knew the structure of the castle and the safe roads so well that he wouldn't have been able to contact the rebels without telling everyone!

And what Qing answered him was Qing's unwavering direct gaze! In the end, he still didn't have the resoluteness of Guoqing, he could only shrug his shoulders helplessly and nodded.

"Since you think so, then I will definitely support you! My life is yours! -----”

The man profoundly made Qing a little uncomfortable for a while, or his growth made Qing feel stunned! He was originally cowardly and confused, but in just a few days together, he has become so strong! He's completely up to the crisis! He's already on his own!

I didn't know how to feel a relieved smile on Qing's face, looking at the back of the man who was several heads taller than him. Before I knew it--- I was already going to be impressed with him. He has already gained enough consciousness in these events! He has been able to be his true self!

"Maybe --- won't be able to do it anymore, and you won't need my help anymore---- hehe~ That's good----"

Whispering, the man leading the way in front didn't hear what Qing said. He was now walking towards the castle with Qing ********, and he knew the closest and safest way to the castle!

The sun is rising in the east, and Aoya is getting closer and closer to the castle. The one that is close can be seen by Qing with super eyesight, and there are guards guarding every window in the castle!

Finally! In the thrilling sneak attack, the two of them finally ran past time. Before the town starts to hustle and bustle, it's safe to be in front of the castle's high stone walls!

"Victory is on our side! The dawn of victory guides us! We're going to win this battle! Certain! ”

Qing stood under the stone wall, and the ten-meter-high wall was no different from the outermost city wall for Qing!

But this time there must not be a trace of mistake! Qing leaned against the stone wall and listened to the sound behind the wall. There is not the slightest fluctuation of life, just the rustle of the wind through the grass.

"Safety! Nothing out of the ordinary! ”

Qing nodded at the man, and he opened his hand familiarly. Jump gently, just like when you enter the city, quiet, no one can see the scene!

Stand on your tiptoes so that you don't make a sound when you land. Qing fell to the ground steadily, and sure enough, it was the same as when he listened, there was no trace of human traffic! Even the weeds on the ground grow densely, and the rich growing environment is not disturbed by anyone.

"Let's get out of here, it is estimated that in a little while, the patrol of the castle will be bypassing here on the city walls."

Qing nodded, facing the inside of the castle, the man was more familiar with this place than anyone else. So now Qing needs him to lead the way and get to the safe place he knows.

The castle is very well defended, with walls surrounding high towers, and almost every corner is guarded. But this doesn't stop Qing's footsteps, Qing can cross any building that ordinary people can't cross, so that the guards' eyes can't cross the barrier and detect someone intruding!

Finally, the man took Qing to a wood, facing the stone wall of the house, but Qing didn't feel safe here, and there were footprints of people walking all around! And the latest footprints were left not so long ago!

"Don't be surprised, the real place is here!"

The man was obviously puzzled by seeing Qing. He walked over to a very ordinary vegetation and gently lifted the messy branches.

Qing looked at the biggest hole in the castle in shock and took a deep breath. That's a hole! A hole that can be arched through which an adult has drilled. Judging from the appearance of the cave walls, it must have been caused by weathering and rodents over the years.

"I'll go see ----- first"

"Be careful, I'm outside, and if something is wrong, come out immediately! If there's no time to yell - I'll just come in------"

"Yes! ----

The man said and slipped in. Qing is sticking to the wall, always keeping an eye out for people around.

"No problem! Come on in! “

A man's voice came from inside, and Qing didn't hesitate to get in. After penetrating it, Qing suddenly smelled a strong smell of grains.

"This is the barn?"

Qing couldn't help but blurt out, he didn't know much about the structure of the castle. However, the basic structure is still known. The variety of grains piled up here is the best illustration of this!

"Yes! The barn, hiding here, as long as we avoid the sight of the kitchen, we can basically move freely, and we don't need to estimate the guards outside! “

The man found a place to sit down, perhaps he was really tired. As soon as he sat down, his eyelids began to fight again, and he could fall asleep at any moment.

"Whew~ It's a really good place, so you can basically save a lot of trouble. Although these things can't be eaten raw, it must have a way to call Egger! “

Qing observed this barn, the barn was huge, and it was no wonder that it could feed the people of such a large castle. A variety of grains are stacked in sorts, judging by the shape of the piles. Qing can see that the kitchen comes to collect materials very regularly, and only one pile of many piles of grain has signs of reduction! So as long as you hide in the innermost, there is no possibility of being discovered!

"That~ Do you want to have breakfast together? -------“

Qing took out a few breads from her arms and looked back at the man. But Qing paused halfway through speaking, he was already asleep-----

"I really can----'t help it, I fell asleep like this----"

Qing carried him on his shoulders and led him to the innermost part of the barn. This can't be blamed on him, after all, he didn't close his eyes all the way, and it is reasonable for him to fall asleep naturally after relaxing!

"For the sake of me, I'm the only one to have breakfast today-----"

Qing put the man on the haystack, found a good position and sat down, and nibbled on the bread he had just taken out by himself.

Green nibbled on bread and looked idly at the unchanged barn. Egger is probably still sleeping in the necklace now, and the only person around him is also tired, and they all need to rest. But now is not the time to rest by himself, Qing still needs to help the people around him to control the wind-----------

In this way, Qing sat all day, and the people in the kitchen came back and forth several times, but they didn't mean to go deeper, so Qing was also very idle to pass the time in a daze. Iger didn't mean to come out, and the man didn't wake up. A boring day.

"Hmm~~ What time is it now?"

"It's almost time to act, wake you up, ---- so I can act! ------------”
