Throne Steps

Chapter 124

When Li Chen entered Saenz's room, Pure White was looking at Samuel's map.He didn't even look at Li Chen's movement of entering the door, he just asked casually after the sound of closing the door: "Is it interesting to tease him?"

"Interesting." Li Chen showed a slightly amused smile, "Isn't it interesting to ask me to be jealous of myself?"

He blurted out the phrase "jealous" so naturally that it took Saenz a moment to get to the point.Pure White turned his eyes away from the map, and said with a half-smile: "'jealous'?"

"That's right." Li Chen walked towards the table where the map was laid out, "I have to thank him for taking the time to separate things, otherwise how would I know...Sar, you used to be so 'deeply affectionate' to me, um ?”

"'Use love deeply'?"

Li Chen leaned next to Saenz, put one hand on the edge of the table, and said with a slightly naughty smile: "Why did you become a parrot, Sal? Is it because I'm talking about the central matter, so you're nervous?"

Saenz propped his chin with his right hand, obviously looking at Li Chen from an upward angle, but his momentum was not at all low.He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Chen's appearance, as if saying "Do it, try again".

Li Chen's way of accepting when he sees a good deal is also very special. He put his short staff on the table, lowered his eyes and smiled and said: "Of course, although I can give it, giving it all is nothing more than what you give me." One part, but my affection for you is thousands of times what you give me."

"Your nonsense tricks are really endless..." Saenz probably was afraid of the increasingly disgusting lines, so he took Lichen's short stick as a paperweight and flattened the map, "Look at the route."

The route to cross the Samuer Mountains is different from the previous route into the Samuer Forest, especially the deeper the distance, the greater the distance.Li Chen's swan's nest is full of mercenaries traveling all over the world, and most of them are wolves who spent a lot of time in Samuel, so they have listened to a lot of opinions when preparing.Now that Saenz has clearly pointed out the route to him, he also inquires about the preparations that need to be implemented.However, because he did not inform Li Chen and Wiggins of the route before, Saenz had already asked people to prepare a few more items that would not be prepared normally, but necessary for this trip.Now listening to Li Chen's speech, Saenz also understands that the child came prepared.

He was not surprised: "It seems that those 'wolves' you raised are still useful."

"It's not raised to be my nanny." Li Chen opened his mouth to express his loyalty, "Isn't it for you to scare the sheep and restrain the sheepdog?"

"Don't worry too much." Saenz pointed out, "There will always be more and more swans, and maybe one day will take the lead in flying."

"Don't worry. It's more expensive than expensive, I remember this truth." Li Chen lowered his eyes and smiled, "The transfer of business operations has begun, and the screening of mercenary missions has also been strengthened. You were worried before that we would be in the intelligence It takes too much effort, and we are also trying to find a way to adjust.”

His attitude in the report was correct, the content was reasonable, and it was in line with Saenz's thinking, so Saenz seemed to have nothing to comment on for a while.But their trip is not a matter of three or five days, and they are really not in a hurry to finish everything right now, so Saenz patted the child's hand: "No rush. Take advantage of this trip, and you can temporarily get rid of these things , you can think about it carefully."

Saenz's original intention was to jump out of the current black swan system when he left the command post, and then consider the future direction of the black swan after looking at the overall situation.However, Li Chen tilted his head: "This road seems to be difficult and dangerous, and I have low manpower. Do I really have the energy to think about it?"

Saenz paused, and mocked: "I told you to stop thinking about the mess and spend more time exercising. Now you know it's too late?"

"I just got promoted, how come it's like nothing happened when I come to you?" Li Chen refers to the fact that Zhenbao's grace has improved his strength, "And there is a Wiggins in this team who is not as good as him. I said, at least you should bring that professional tea pourer, at least the talent is much higher than the one in the team..."

Saenz raised his eyebrows: "Did you recognize it?"

You could recognize it when you didn't know it last time, how could you not see it this time?Li Chen teased: "Isn't it? I said Sal, don't you treat Dan Lu as a regular mercenary mission?"

Yes Danlou.Li Chen scanned the four guards who were following him back and forth twice, but he still couldn't recognize Dan Lu, who was obviously low-level?

Saenz patted Li Chen on the head: "Taking her is useful. If possible, the matter you said earlier about the black swan's lack of intelligence can also be resolved."

Solve the intelligence of black swans?Xiao En, the head of the intelligence department, has to ask the black swan for help. What can the person in charge of a branch of Danlu do?Li Chen thought for a while, and tentatively said, "Take her to see...another intelligence organization?"

If you want to say how Li Chen can claim to be Saenz's "intimate little padded jacket", you can really guess.However, once Saenz switched to the mercenary status, he played a little more willfully, deliberately hanging him and not answering, just said: "Sleep."

"Oh..." Li Chen resignedly folded the map and got up to leave, "Good night, Sal."

Saenz stepped on his cloak, almost causing the child to fall: "Which direction is the bed?"

Yes, I have to wait for the boss to sleep.Li Chen did not retort at all, consciously helping to pack up his things and get ready to go to bed, and even took out the nightgown that Saenz gave him.

Yes, it was the one I got when I first went on a mercenary mission with "Thrall" five years ago.

Let's see who hates who.

When Li Chen came out of Saenz's room the next day, the others had already seen it, but Wiggins was really surprised.

Even though Saenz is now a mercenary, he is still the noble pure white color in essence.In all his years with him, Wiggins had never noticed anyone—including the pretty ladies—who could stay overnight.Of course, Wiggins doesn't think there is absolutely no, but he never imagined that someone would come out so carelessly after staying overnight.

Wiggins couldn't hold back any longer, approached him in two steps, frowned and asked in a low voice, "You... have been inside last night?"

In fact, Li Chen was not fully awake, but he didn't dare to lie on purpose after knowing that the leader got up, so he had to get up and wash up.Even if his brain is not working at full capacity, it is more than enough for the last Wiggins.

He put his hands in his trouser pockets, raised his chin and turned his face sideways, squinting at Wiggins with half-closed eyes.However, the black swan didn't answer, it just looked at the head of the temple and slowly raised the corners of its mouth.

This move contained too much irony.

Wiggins endured being stared at by him for a few seconds, and when he realized that the other party was really just expressing sarcasm and was not going to answer, it was really difficult to suppress his anger: "You..."

"Hey!"

A big mercenary suddenly grabbed Li Chen's shoulder from behind, with a warm tone.

"Why are you sticking around in the middle of the road early in the morning, you haven't woken up yet?"

Li Chen's tone was ambiguous: "It's not because of Sal."

The big mercenary made a low-level joke with him: "The boss tormented you? With your body, you are really tossed by the boss. Can you get up in the morning?"

"Do you dare to be more dirty?" Li Chen elbowed him, "Do you have the ability to speak in front of him?"

The mercenary pushed Li Chen downstairs and laughed, "It's your honor to crawl on his bed, right? Why lose your temper!"

Li Chen didn't resist, and was led down by him: "Bah..."

Wiggins only said one word in the interrogative sentence, and the rest was completely ignored-and the big mercenary was most likely here to make trouble on purpose-the face suddenly became very gloomy.But before he could figure out how to attack, Saenz came out of the room.

When Wiggins saw the boss, he froze for a moment, and then he relaxed again as if he hadn't been rude.

He forced himself to speak to Saenz in a more casual tone, but it was difficult to get used to it for a while, so he omitted the subject: "Good morning."

Saenz came over and gave a casual smile: "It's too early for you."

After all, Saenz didn't stop to greet Wiggins, and went straight past him downstairs.

Wiggins looked at his back, thought about the casualness and naturalness of the conversation just now, and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

—he must have heard it all.Since he doesn't care, why should I worry about it?

After breakfast and a short rest, the group officially set off for Samir.

The apparent equipment of this mercenary team is as follows: Saar is the captain, Li Chen, Wiggins and Danlu in men's clothing are accompanying the team-this is the combination of dragging legs*3-and there are three mercenaries from the personal guards.The three personal guards belonged to Saenz's mercenary team. Although they knew little about the past of "Rigsella", they all knew Li Chen's importance by Thrall's side.As for Danlu, only two reminders from "women" and "intelligence personnel" can let the guards master the degree of care.Only Wiggins, on the one hand, has light eyes, indicating that he is very talented, but on the other hand, he has not heard of any magical achievements in him, so the guards who have been working as mercenaries are a little unsure how to treat him.

Fortunately, after entering Samir, Wiggins was really not too squeamish.Obey the arrangement, don't complain about suffering or tiredness, compared with when you were in the temple, you have restrained your death temper a lot.But Li Chen always stared at him secretly, afraid that he was just being cautious at the beginning, and would lose the chain at critical moments.

As for Li Chen and Dan Lu, one is not strong enough but has Samir's rich experience, so he can travel freely;Therefore, in the first half of entering into the hinterland of Samuel, the progress of the entire team was not dragged down by three people.

After marching for about half a month, the place where the team was located was about the same depth as the original Lone Wolf camp, and the speed of marching slowed down significantly.

Li Chen had confronted Saenz on the route before, and he was able to observe the overall situation of his team. Under the premise that everything was good, he was a little confused why he slowed down.

Taking advantage of being stationed to rest and Saenz staying behind, Li Chen and his family leader shook the tent and asked.

"Slow down?" Saenz tightened the support of the tent and raised his eyebrows, "You think you shouldn't slow down?"

"I didn't say that." Li Chen passed the bracket through the edge of the tent cloth, "Isn't this true? I just want to ask why."

Saenz glanced at Li Chen, Li Chen smiled and said, "What secret have I touched?"

If this was said by other smart people around Saenz, the next sentence would usually be something like "then I won't ask".Regardless of whether this sentence is based on retreat, at least everyone will first follow Saenz's decision.However, Saenz really knows Li Chen's style very well, even though he is still setting up a tent in a serious manner, he might switch his style of painting in the next sentence.

Standing at the other end of the half-raised tent, Li Chen had already begun to say transitional sentences: "Can't you say that?"

Originally, he just asked casually, but he didn't expect Saenz to have such a reaction.If it is really a secret, it seems that it cannot be said now, after all, Danlu and Wiggins are preparing not far away.Danlu has no talent, but Wiggins has high talent and experience in eavesdropping—the time when Li Chen and the young master of the chamber of commerce, Amoya, deliberately mocked him—maybe he had the audacity to hear it?

With such a change in thinking, Li Chen decided to ask the leader before going to bed at night, so he smiled and nodded: "I see."

Saenz was thinking about how to suppress Li Chen's disgusting drama first, but Li Chen stopped the fire first, which caused Saenz to be a little confused.

He only replied one sentence in total, why did he just say "Got it"?
