Chapter 1669: Disguise and decisiveness

"Lord Leo, the Longji Peak outpost is in front of us. We'd better take a day off and wait until tomorrow before hitting the road. This guy has been too tired to drive in the black storm for several days." Hancock looked at the Longjifeng outpost. The light smoke and the flag fluttered, he slightly pulled down the scarf covering his nose and mouth, and suggested to Leo who seemed to be asleep behind him.
It has been four days since the beginning of Palm Rock. During these four days, they have not stopped on the road. Even if they encountered a very strong snowstorm, they are still on their way. In this high-intensity rush, not only Hancock alone consumes a lot of energy, and the long-haired beast under him has probably never experienced such a task. When he entered the entrance of Blade's Edge Canyon just now, he had already felt that the long-haired beast started to stumble a little, so He would make such a proposal.
If the people who accompanied him were just ordinary people, he would not talk nonsense at all and ask each other's thoughts. He was an authority on the snowfield, but on the road, he discovered that Leo, a seemingly ordinary man, was not ordinary. Ou's status in his heart had already been raised to the level of Fiorlia's, and even if Leo made excessive demands of traveling for several days in a row, he did not dare to refute it.
However, he also had to admit that Leo's suggestion of continuous travel was very correct, because he found that this year's black storm seemed to be different from before.
Originally, according to his estimation, from the day he left Palm Rock, the first black storm of this year should have weakened and disappeared within two or three days at most, but in fact, just yesterday, he found that not only did the black storm show no signs of weakening. , on the contrary, it has strengthened a lot, and the momentum of the storm is still continuing to strengthen today. It seems that this black storm will last for more than ten days, or even longer.
There is no doubt that if there is no continuous travel proposed by Leo, walking in the snow field during the time when the black storm strengthens, even an old leader like him may be in danger of getting lost.
Sitting on the armchair composed of the back shelves, Leo heard Hancock's proposal, he did not answer, just nodded, and resumed arranging and absorbing those books.
Hancock, who received the response, immediately controlled the long-haired beast to walk towards the outpost, perhaps knowing that he could rest when he arrived at the outpost, so the speed of the long-haired beast also accelerated a lot, and soon came outside the outpost.
It was not the first time that Hancock had used this post, and he did not ask the people inside the post if they could enter. When he got to the door, he directly controlled the long-haired beast and walked into the compound of the post. Then he jumped down, pulling the long-haired beast. The beast came to a shed with a collapsed roof not far away, led the long-haired beast to the middle of the two parallel wooden frames in the animal shed, and then let the long-haired beast lie down, the cargo rack on the back of the long-haired beast was just stuck. On the wooden frame, the burden of the long-haired beast was reduced.
After that, he took out some hay flour cakes specially for the long-haired beasts from the shelves, fed them to the long-haired beasts, and then let them rest. In fact, at this time, the shelves should be completely removed from the long-haired beasts. , but now he is the only one. After moving the shelf away, he may not be able to move it back again. He can only let the long-haired beast temporarily rest in this slightly awkward way.
After taking care of the long-haired beast, he jumped onto the shelf and whispered respectfully to Leo: "Lord Leo, we can go to the fire room above to rest now, there should be a bonfire at the guard point, it will be warm. a lot of."
Hearing Hancock's proposal, Leo temporarily interrupted absorbing and organizing the books, stood up from the chair, and motioned Hancock to lead the way.
The two were one after the other, and soon came to the ignition outside of the beacon tower above the post. At this time, a tempting aroma could be smelled from the house. Hancock was tempted by the aroma and couldn't help swallowing. A saliva, but instead of pushing the door forward, he looked at the two naked corpses that had been frozen to death neatly placed aside.
Judging from the city flag of Movit Road covered with the corpses, it is clear that the people who handled the two corpses had special feelings for the two people, and they were unwilling to let the two corpses stand naked in the open air. Giving the two corpses some dignity also gave Hancock an instinctive liking for the people in the room.
As for the clothes on the corpse, Hancock guessed that the people in the room should take it off and wear it by himself. Hancock does not feel too much about this behavior, because the dead do not need clothes to keep out the cold, and the living are the only ones. Yes, people like them who walk on the snowfield encounter the same situation, and they will use the same method to deal with the clothing and items on their companions, which is normal.
Hancock looked away from the corpse and walked to the door. He did not push the door in, but knocked politely. After hearing the call to come in, he pushed the door in without looking. When Leo, who was behind him, saw the two corpses again, a sneer appeared on his face. Obviously, Leo's etiquette towards these two corpses was different from that of Hancock.
After entering the house, the surrounding air was warmed a lot by the fiercely burning bonfire in the fireplace.
"Close the door! Close the door!" But the people in the room didn't think so. After Leo entered the room, he shouted at Leo with great dissatisfaction.
Leo turned around and closed the door, then walked to the fireplace alone, found an open space and sat down, and continued to organize and absorb the books.
Hancock didn't rest immediately, but greeted the man in the room: "Hello, I'm Hancock from the Ice Bear Chamber of Commerce, are you the guard of the outpost?"
"What guards? They're just criminals sent to suffer. My name is Quinine." The man didn't put down the food in his hand. , last time your chamber of commerce team had hundreds of long-haired beasts and thousands of people, why is it only the two of you this time? Did you get separated in the black storm?"
"No." Hancock shook his head, but didn't explain too much.
Quining didn't ask any more questions. He pointed to the open space beside the fireplace and said, "Find a place to rest yourself! I'm the only one here."
Hancock cleared an open space next to Leo, then looked at the bowl filled with hot food in Quinine's hand, and then looked at the pot placed by the campfire, and asked, "Can the food in your pot be sold? give to me?"
"One silver naka." Quining responded indifferently, and then added, "One silver naka per bowl."
"A silver naka! Are you crazy?" Hancock glared at Quinin with great dissatisfaction, and said, "One silver naka can buy thousands of bowls, and you actually..."
"It's too expensive, you don't have to buy it." Quining glanced at Hancock and said, "Yes, you can buy thousands of bowls on Mowett Road, but don't forget, it's Mowett Road, and this is a long Jifeng post, there can provide you with thousands of bowls at any time, and I only have this pot here." He said with a slightly contemptuous smile: "Of course you can take that pot of food, I am not as strong as you. , I will not resist."
Hancock looked at Quinine with a gloomy face. If there was no Leo, he might have really taken the pot of food, and might even have beaten him hard, and then threw him out and left him to fend for himself. , anyway, he has not done such a thing, but now he is not the only one here, there is also Leo, if he does, then Filoria may know, and he will be very worried by then. It is difficult to gain a foothold in the Ice Bear Chamber of Commerce.
Thinking of this, he plans to hold back his hunger and eat a big meal after going to Movit Road tomorrow, but the food in the pot has an unusual aroma. Under the influence of this aroma, his hunger is ten times stronger than usual. Times, hundreds of times, in the end, he couldn't hold back such a strong hunger, he took out his wallet from his arms, took out two silver nakas, and threw them to Quinine, then directly picked up the wooden bowl on the ground and opened the pot. Gai, spooned out two bowls of food from the inside, followed him and placed one of the bowls in front of Leo and the other to his mouth, blew the hot air on it, and planned to swallow it in his belly. Relieve hunger, and warm up your cold body by the way.
"Is it okay to eat this kind of stuffed stuff?" At this moment, Leo suddenly said.
Hearing Leo's words, Hancock immediately put down the bowl beside his mouth and spit out a little food that had been eaten in his mouth.
If it was someone else, Hancock would definitely not listen, but he completely believed Leo's words. After seeing Leo's magical power to block the most dangerous ice blade in the black storm, the two of them The primary-secondary relationship has fallen apart.
"Damn it! What the did you put in it?" Hancock asked directly, drawing the long knife around his waist and pointing at Quinine.
At this moment, Quining seemed a little scared and flustered, completely lost the calm state just now, took a few steps back, and hurriedly said: "I just added a little mushroom dug up on the mountain, and didn't add anything else. If there is a problem with the food, then if I eat it now, there will definitely be a problem!"
Said, in order to prove his innocence, Quining quickly swallowed the bowl of food in his hand, and then showed an innocent look.
Seeing Quinin's current approach, Hancock hesitated for a moment, but instead of putting down the long knife in his hand, he took two steps forward, handed the bowl in his hand to the other party, and said, "I am here. You eat the bowl too."
Seeing Hancock's actions, Quining's face suddenly showed a flustered look, and his eyes also glanced at the door not far away.
Seeing Quinine's behavior, Hancock naturally didn't need to ask any more questions. I saw Hancock throw the steaming food in the bowl directly at the other party. The other party obviously didn't expect Hancock to do this. He made a decisive move, and he was unprepared for a while, and was splashed on the face by the food, so his eyes closed involuntarily, and then he felt a pain in his heart, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Hancock had just stabbed him. The knife in his heart was drawn out, and he felt weak for a while, slumped to the ground, unconscious.
Although the other party was not dead yet, Hancock grabbed the other party by the collar, dragged him out of the house, went directly to the edge of the beacon tower, and left him behind the post, only a dull sound came from below. come up.
Back in the house, Hancock took the pot of food out and emptied again, cleaned the pot with the snow on the ground, and then filled the pot with snow and returned to the house, put it on the bonfire, and took it out with him. I picked up some hard and dry flour cakes and threw them into the pot to cook.
Although Hancock has prepared enough food, this food can only be used to satisfy his hunger. As for whether it is delicious or not, there is no need to think about it, especially after eating this kind of dry cake for a few days, he smells the smell of this kind of food. All felt nauseous.
"Why don't you ask him why he attacked us?" Leo asked Hancock abruptly at this time.
Hancock was stunned for a while, because this seemed to be the first time Leo took the initiative to ask him about things in the past few days, so he thought about it seriously and said, "The guy just now should be the criminal of Movit Road, why he I will be sent here to serve as the guard of the post to reduce the sentence. As for the action against us, it should be seen that there are only two of us. I think we are separated from the caravan, and there are some valuable goods in our hands. Therefore, it should not be accepted. What force is assigned, we are waiting here to attack us. If someone in Movit Road really wants to attack our Ice Bear Chamber of Commerce, they will secretly send a large number of people into the snowfield to intercept us, and they will not choose to do it here at the Changji Peak Outpost. , Because it is too close to Movit Road, if you move a little bit, you will be known by Movit Road as soon as possible. You must know that even if our Ice Bear Chamber of Commerce has many enemies on Movit Road, there are also a lot of them. Allied forces, those allies will not watch us have an accident."
After listening to Hancock's explanation, Leo thought for a while and asked again, "Is Mowett Road messy?"
"Of course not, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Compared with other cities in the polar mountains, Movit Road is the most stable, at least on Movit Road you don't have to worry about someone suddenly rushing out to your stomach Stab a knife." Hancock explained patiently: "However, stability is relative. After all, the cities in the polar mountains were built by large and small tribes, and these tribes have now become the powerful nobles in the city. There is not a lot of struggle for power and profit, but no matter how fierce they are, it is only their internal affairs, and it will not affect the outside, let alone the civilians. The civilians and outsiders should really be careful on Movit Road. It's those gangsters, their methods are a lot of ruthless, the guy just now should be a member of a gangster."
When Leo was about to ask for some more detailed intelligence information about Movit Road or the polar mountains, he suddenly seemed to sense something, and looked at the place where Movit Road was sitting, followed by a face showing With a puzzled look, he got up and walked outside, looking in the direction of Movit Road, his line of sight seemed to penetrate the cascading mountains of Blade's Edge Canyon and saw what he wanted to see at the end.
He only heard it, he said to himself: "What's the matter? What is she doing in Movit Road? Did she come to pick me up because she knew in advance that I was coming?"
