Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 291: City Guard
Xu Shen followed behind Nasefani, but silently communicated with Hai Jue in his heart.
"Will you be noticed?"
"Not unless something unexpected happens."
Hai Jue's words sounded like he was trying to stir up trouble for Xu Shen: "Unless the other party touches your body, or the other party has special perception abilities."
Normally, if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will happen... Xu Shen smiled bitterly in his heart and could only follow Nasefani. It was unrealistic to let Hai Jue and the others escape at this point. After all, he would still need their help if something went wrong.
Soon, Xu Shen, Jiang Lao and others came to the conference room.
As Nasserpine's figure in front of him retreated to the side under the curtain, Xu Shen saw the peerless figure appearing above the steps, it was the Queen Ant.
Xu Shen's heartbeat quickened a little, but he controlled it in time and his expression didn't change.
"Meet Her Majesty the Queen Ant."
Xu Shen lowered his head, trying not to fail in facial expression management, and knelt on one knee to salute.
The two secret guards behind him also saluted .
"Get up."
The queen ant's voice, devoid of any emotion, came from above her head, revealing her calmness and contempt for everything.
Xu Shen stood up, raised his head slightly, and saw the queen ant staring at him.
His expression tensed slightly and he seemed a little nervous.
This kind of nervousness is normal. After all, there are not many people who can remain calm under the gaze of the king.
The queen ant was not surprised by Xu Shen's reaction. She said calmly, "I called you here because there is something I need you to do."
"I will serve Your Highness even if it means death." Xu Shen quickly expressed his opinion.
While speaking, Xu Shen was also secretly observing the queen ant.
What made Xu Shen feel a little strange was that the queen ant in front of him seemed more mature, more majestic, and more aloof than the queen ant he had seen some time ago.
In just over a month, the queen ant seemed to have changed.
In terms of mentality.
"Have you seen the Night Rat King?" The Queen Ant seemed indifferent to Xu Shen's statement, and seemed to think that it should be so. Her expression remained unchanged, without even a hint of gentleness.
He was indifferent from beginning to end, as if any life in his eyes was an ant.
I have seen it...and I haven’t seen it either.
Xu Shen shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it."
"Now all districts are temporarily stable under the management of the Royal Guards, but we don't know how many of these Royal Guards have been instigated by the Night Rat King. The Night Rat King can no longer hold back and wants to launch an attack."
The queen ant said coldly, "My mission for you is to go to the Nightingale District, where the Night Rat King lives. Go there to investigate the Night Rat King's movements and see how much power he has gathered, especially over there on the high wall. He is likely to release the shells outside the wall to help him destroy the Termite City."
Exploring the Night Rat King's lair?
Xu Shen was stunned.
Isn't this just seeking death?
That is the king’s lair, his old nest!
Xu Shen hesitated and said, "Your Highness, this mission is a bit difficult. I am worried that I cannot accomplish it by myself. It is a small matter for me to sacrifice my life for Your Highness, but I am afraid that I will mess up Your Highness's mission and alert the enemy, which will lead to a big mistake."
"You are good at talking." Nasefani beside her couldn't help but whisper.
The Queen Ant did not blame her for interrupting, but stared at Xu Shen quietly: "This mission is dangerous, and I won't blame you even if it fails. If the mission is successful, after the Night Rat King is quelled, I will make you the commander of the Termite Town, second only to me, and command the six armies!"
Old Jiang and the middle-aged man behind Xu Shen were stunned, their eyelids twitching wildly, the city guard!
This position is too prominent, and it is a new position that has never existed before!
Xu Shen was also stunned, with surprise and a hint of excitement on his face. He hesitated, as if he was struggling with his thoughts. After a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to serve Your Highness with all my heart and soul, even if it means my death!"
"good."
The queen ant nodded slightly and said, "Get ready and set off in three days."
"good!"
Xu Shen bowed his head and agreed.
But I was sighing in my heart.
The queen ant promised such a position to the town commander, and he had no choice but to agree.
But this kind of thing... is clearly a life-or-death situation.
What's more, even if he was a city guard general, he was just a general, and in front of the king, all he had to do was say a word.
If you can be crowned, you can be deposed.
After Xu Shen left, the Queen Ant saw Jiang Lao's broken hands and asked, "Did he hurt them?"
"Um."
Jiang Lao looked ashamed and said, "Captain Xu's fighting ability is beyond my imagination. It's not that we underestimated the enemy, but he... is too strong."
He didn't mind praising Xu Shen in front of the Queen Ant, even though Xu Shen was half his enemy. This was flattery, but it could also help him save some face.
After all, losing to a strong player is not shameful, but losing to a weak player is humiliating.
"Um."
The queen ant nodded slightly, seeming to agree with what Jiang Lao said: "You guys should go down and rest too."
"yes."
After Jiang Lao and the other man left, Nasefani looked at the Queen Ant and said, "Your Highness, did you entrust such an important mission to Xu Shen because you thought he could severely injure Jiang Lao?"
"This person is very thoughtful and meticulous, and his thoughts are hard for me to understand. When he saw my reaction, he was also a little strange. He seemed a little excited, but then he was extremely calm..."
The queen ant looked indifferent and said, "Such a person cannot stay for long."
Nasefani was stunned and said in surprise: "Your Highness, I can see that he is excited, but how can you tell that he is calm? When you promised him the reward of the city commander, he was so excited."
"But his heart was extremely calm, even without any ripples," said the queen ant.
Nasefani was stunned, then she thought of the ability of the queen ant, and she suddenly understood. However, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised. How could Xu Shen remain calm in the face of such a high position?
Unless, Xu Shen didn't expect to get it at all.
Or, Xu Shen's ambition exceeds the scope of this position.
One more step... and you will become a king.
Nasefani's eyes flickered, and she said to His Highness, "Your Highness, you asked him to go to the Night Rat King to investigate. Could it be..."
The queen ant glanced at her and said nothing.
Nasefani shrank her neck awkwardly, with a silly expression on her face.
…
…
After leaving the conference room, Xu Shen's expression returned to calm, but his eyes became gloomier.
This mission is too dangerous, even like seeking death.
But he has shown his true feelings by coming here, so the queen ant should not want to kill him.
Is it that there is no one under my command who can be used?
Xu Shen frowned slightly and didn't think any more about it. Fortunately, Hai Jue and the others were by his side. Even if he went to explore the Night Rat King, he would still be sure to escape safely.
even,
If he is really pushed to the limit, he may jump over and collaborate with the Night Rat King in a conspiracy.
Anyway, it was you who asked me to go over and inquire, and you didn't restrict me from surrendering to the enemy.
When the information is brought back, it will be none of my business whether it is true or not.
Thinking of this, Xu Shen quickened his pace.
Not long after, we suddenly passed by a building.
Xu Shen's eyes moved. This was the Queen Ant's library.
He had been on duty here before, and immediately thought of the A-level ruins he saw in the library.
Is it still in there?
Xu Shen's eyes flashed, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly turned around and walked towards the library.
There were guards guarding the entrance of the library. When they saw Xu Shen, they all recognized Xu Shen's identity. After all, he was the one who had won the election for the captain of the personal guard some time ago.
"I'll go in and take a look."
Xu Shen said.
The guards looked at each other and let him go without asking any questions.
Xu Shen walked into the library, looking around, and walked around the first floor. Now that the guards had been assigned to various areas, there was no one guarding this place.
The first floor was not found.
Xu Shen went to the second floor again.
I kept looking around, but still couldn't find it.
As for the third floor, that is where only the queen ant can enter.
There must be surveillance here, so Xu Shen was too lazy to explore.
"It seems he has left." Xu Shen murmured to himself. After all, it has been such a long time, the other party would not stay here forever.
"careful."
Suddenly, Hai Jue's voice appeared in Xu Shen's mind.
Xu Shen's eyes narrowed.
Then, a pair of silky long legs suddenly dropped down in front of me.
Xu Shen's heart skipped a beat. Such impeccable white legs... He looked around and seemed to have twisted his neck. He immediately pinched the back of his neck with his hands, raised his head and twisted his neck, while his eyes naturally moved upwards.
Then I saw the beautiful lady sitting on the bookshelf in front of me.
The other person looks like a mature and intellectual older sister, with aqua green hair, a curvy figure, long legs, and quite an intellectual charm.
But at this moment, the other party was not reading the book, but was also looking at Xu Shen.
Not only that, she was holding an arm in her hand and gnawing on it with big bites, with blood at the corners of her mouth.
Xu Shen's expression was blank.
There was no change, he was just still kneading his cervical vertebrae, then he turned around and walked to the other side.
But his heart just beat violently.
However, Xu Shen clearly felt that there was a force holding his heart, causing his contracting heartbeat to be controlled by some force and still maintain its original rhythm.
It was Haijue’s help.
Otherwise, the scene just now was as terrifying as an eye contact. Even if Xu Shen had strong willpower, he would still have a physiological reaction if caught off guard.
This ruin... is still there.
Xu Shen walked forward along the bookshelf, not knowing whether he was surprised or happy.
After so long, has this creature regarded this place as its nest?
Do you want to kidnap the other person as well?
"Can you feel that it is on the same level as you?" Xu Shen asked Hai Jue in his heart.
"Um."
Hai Jue replied: "Can't you feel it?"
She was a little surprised by Xu Shen's question. Xu Shen could see them clearly, and beside Xu Shen, there was that person...
That’s good... Xu Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was A-level, as long as it wasn’t the same level as Maeve.
So far, he has never seen anyone at the same level as Maeve.
If they were on the same level as Hai Jue and the others, four against one... they could run away.
But this place is a bit close to the queen ant. If a fight breaks out... Xu Shen is a bit troubled.
This would implicate him.
Or, wait until some time in the future when the queen ant is not in the Snow Palace, and then come to find this Xu?
Thinking of this, Xu Shen made a decision in his heart and immediately turned around and went downstairs.
But when he reached the stairs, he saw that Xu had appeared at the stairs at some point and was looking at him with interest.
Exposed?
Xu Shen's face was expressionless.
He continued to walk forward without pausing or even slowing down.
The other person looked at Xu Shen, and when Xu Shen approached, he suddenly waved his hand and grabbed Xu Shen.
Xu Shen ignored it and walked straight away.
whoosh!
The opponent's hand swung over and grabbed from behind Xu Shen's head.
They didn't touch each other.
Xu Shen's tense heart finally breathed a sigh of relief.
While he was tense just now, his heart was still beating at a normal frequency under the encouragement of Hai Jue.
Walking down the stairs, Xu Shen left without looking back.
"Is it an illusion?"
At the stairs, the woman looked at Xu Shen's leaving back, with some confusion in her eyes, and muttered to herself.
Then he shook his head, quickly ate the woman's arm in his hand, turned and walked towards the bookshelf.
…
…
Xu Shen left the library and this time did not stay . He went straight out of the Snow Palace.
Return to the black light area.
When Xue Mei, Chen Han and others saw Xu Shen coming back, they all rushed to greet him.
Xu Shen briefly explained the situation , mainly the tasks assigned by the queen ant.
"This mission is too dangerous, Your Highness. Isn't this going to cost you your life?" Du Ming couldn't help but say.
Although Xu Shen has the black-haired Xu by his side, A-level Xu are usually no match for the king.
Unless it is some extremely terrifying A-level ruins, but that level is extremely rare.
"Is His Highness testing you?" Lou Haiyin asked with a frown. Asking Ertai to investigate the king sounded like a scam.
Xue Mei's eyes flickered as he pondered, "Is His Highness trying to use you to seduce the Night Rat King? Maybe His Highness will be watching over you, or even..." He looked around:
"Your Highness might be here right now."
Hearing his words, everyone else's faces changed, their hair stood on end, and they couldn't help but look around.
Du Ming, who had just spoken, felt his scalp tingling slightly. He said, "Don't scare me. There is an A-level ruin next to the Pope. If Her Majesty the Queen Ant is nearby, she will definitely sense it."
Xue Mei nodded: "That's true."
Xu Shen glanced at Xue Mei and said, "Your idea is not completely unreasonable."
"I'll go with you." Xia Jingxiang suddenly said.
Seeing her speak, Chen Han reacted and quickly said, "If you need me, I can go with you."
"I'm going too."
Seeing this, others expressed their opinions.
Feng Qing and others in the Royal Guard, as well as Wu Changlong and others in the Fourth Squad, seemed a little hesitant and obviously did not have the courage to express their opinions.
After all, exploring the king's lair means death or life.
Xu Shen looked around at everyone and could tell who was closest to him. He nodded slightly, "I can go alone for this kind of thing. Too many people will easily expose us and alert the enemy."
"I can go. I'm in the perception department." Lou Haiyin said immediately.
Others couldn't help but look at Lou Haiyin. What the hell is this perception department? Which perception department can beat you?
Xu Shen glanced at Lou Haiyin and said with a smile: "Don't forget, if you can sense it, I can too."
Lou Haiyin was speechless.
That’s indeed the case; Xu Shen’s perception is stronger than hers.
Until now, she didn't even know what Xu Shen's abilities were.
"Wait."
Xu Shen said, "Just take care of the Black Light District. Don't let anyone destroy my lair. Especially the guys guarding other districts. There should be people bribed by the Night Rat King."
Chen Han nodded: "Whoever dares to invade the Black Light Zone, I will make sure he never returns."
At this point, he seemed to feel that this was a bit imprecise, and added: "Unless it is the king."
