" Lead the troops to search for the truth behind the Demon Seed's activity."
Hua Mulan mulled over this sentence again, but she felt that something was wrong.
"Sister Mulan, is there a problem?”
Lu Yu could see that Hua Mulan's expression was not very good.
"The protectorates are the left and right arms of the Great Wall. Once they fall, the consequences will be unimaginable! Didn't your commander know when he left you to defend the city?!”
Hua Mulan's tone was very sharp. As a commander, how could he not know about such a mistake?
Compared to searching for signs of the Demon Seed, it was more important to guard the Protectorate.
If they didn't pass by the north gate, they would have been attacked by the demonic seed.
"No, it's not, sir. It was actually a person's suggestion, and then the sir listened to it.”
The guards stammered. This female captain's personality was indeed as strong as the rumors said, making the men feel inferior.
"Who is it?"
Hua Mulan's eyes became sharp, and Lu Yu pricked up his ears. He had to remember this.
"It's a young man called Li Xin.”
"Li Xin?"
Lu Yu and Hua Mulan shouted at the same time.
Lu Yu knew Li Xin very well. He was the Highland Security, the Crystal Friend.
However, he didn't expect him to be in the protectorate.
As for Hua Mulan, she was also surprised because she had met Li Xin when King Lan Ling first attacked the protectorate.
At that time, the impression Li Xin gave him was that he was a maverick, but he was also full of pride and spirit.
He was also a young man with great potential and was very strong.
He hadn't expected that this expedition by the commander of the protectorate was actually his plan.
Could there be some kind of relationship between them?
Li Xin shouldn't be a brainless person. It was impossible for him not to know the importance of the protectorate, but the suggestion he gave made people ponder.
"Where is Li Xin now?"
Hua Mulan asked sternly. No matter what, they had to find Li Xin first.
"He followed the commander to the depths of the desert."
A guard said. At that time, when the cavalry came out from the north gate, he had seen Li Xin's shadow.
After all, the blond youth had a noble temperament. In the entire Protectorate, only Li Xin was there, so he was easy to recognize.
"Lu Yu, looks like we won't be able to rest today.”
When she looked at Lu Yu with a helpless gaze, Hua Mulan smiled bitterly. They had originally gone to the protectorate headquarters today to meet the senior officer here and discuss countermeasures against the demon seed.
Now, it seemed that they had no choice but to change the direction of their hooves and head towards the endless desert again.
"It's fine. I'm full of energy to be able to move with Sister Mulan.”
The corners of Lu Yu's mouth curled up slightly. He had the Tyrant's heavy soldier anyway, so he was not worried about the consumption at all.
In order to allow the team to get closer to Li Xin's group faster, and at the same time prevent the protectorate from falling into the attack of the demon seed again, Hua Mulan left a portion of her troops here to fight with the soldiers guarding the gate.
The remaining people, including Lu Yu, quickly headed to the desert.
Unknowingly, the desert was gradually enveloped by the night.
The stars in the sky seemed to have woven into a huge net that covered the entire desert.
The moonlight was like a thin veil that softly sprinkled on the desert sand, reflecting a faint golden glow.
The night in the desert was much colder than any other time.
As soon as the white air came out of his mouth, it condensed into a visible white fog. His teeth were also trembling under the low temperature.
Lu Yu felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have worn heavier clothes to keep out the cold. He really could not stand the extreme cold.
"Are you cold? Hold me tight."
The voice was not loud, but it rang clearly in his ears. However, Lu Yu thought that he was hallucinating.
"Lu Yu, if you feel cold, hug me tightly."
Hua Mulan's voice was clearly not as clear as the first time, but Lu Yu could hear her clearly.
F * ck, really?
At first, Lu Yu could not believe it. He was so excited and nervous.
However, when he heard Hua Mulan say it a second time, he did not hesitate and quickly hugged Hua Mulan's waist tightly.
The horse was still galloping, and the surrounding scenery whistled past his ears.
Her face seemed to be a little hot, but it was quickly calmed down by the cold wind.
Although Hua Mulan's waist was covered by a hard armor, Lu Yu could still feel the warmth from her body even though there was a layer of cold armor between them.
It was very warm.
However, as he felt the warmth, all the blood in Lu Yu's body gathered at the top of his head.
"Lu Yu, are you still cold? I can feel your body trembling.”
"No, this horse is running too fast.”
Lu Yu explained reluctantly. This was the first time he had such intimate contact. For an innocent youth like him, it was more exciting than a new game.
He did not know how Hua Mulan would feel.
However, Lu Yu soon got used to it. He calmed down and enjoyed it.
The cold of the night was finally not as bone-piercing.
However, as the cold gradually faded away under the warmth, a deep killing intent slowly rose.
"There's a situation!"
With the help of the moonlight, a soldier saw a body lying in the yellow sand.
"It's the soldiers of the protectorate!"
After seeing his uniform, Hua Mulan and the others quickly dismounted and rushed to the soldier's side.
The soldier was on the verge of death, but strangely, there were no terrible wounds on his body. It seemed that he had not been attacked by a demon seed or bandits.
"Pull yourself together!"
Who attacked you?"
Hua Mulan took the water belt from her subordinate and sent it to the soldier's dry lips.
However, the soldier did not drink the water. Instead, he used his already weak voice to stammer something.
"Li Xin. Wearing a mask. There are still killers."
However, the dying soldier did not finish his sentence. His life was completely cut off, and his life dissipated in the dancing yellow sand.
“......”
Hua Mulan stood up silently and mourned for the dead soldier for a few seconds. Then, she retracted her sad expression.
"Li Xin, King Lan Ling!"
From the soldier's words, Lu Yu knew the identities of at least two people. One was Li Xin, and the masked killer was probably King Lan Ling.
However, there seemed to be someone else.
What was even more suspicious was that the soldier did not suffer any external injuries, nor was he poisoned, but he still died.
"Lu Yu, I have a bad feeling.”
Standing in the middle of the yellow sand, Hua Mulan faced the endless and vast desert and said in a cold tone.
bad feeling
Lu Yu also sensed it.
