So to be how careful, but also pays attention to the small issue that the animal-drawn cart lubricates? Strange, strange!” “方源什么时候弄的这油粉？我怎么一直都不知道……是起初的时候,还是在黄金山、啸月山？古怪啊……他对商队其实一直并不放在心上,商队损失那么多,也没见他皱一下眉头。怎么会如此细心,还关注到板车润滑的这个小问题？古怪,古怪！” „wait a moment!” “等一下！” Suddenly, together the miraculous glow is similar to the lightning, flashes through in the Bai Ningbing mind. 忽然间,一道灵光如同闪电,在白凝冰的脑海中闪过。 In an instant, her body shakes suddenly, the pupil shrinks the needle-tip size fiercely. 刹那间,她身躯陡然一震,瞳孔猛缩成针尖大小。 A possibility, the sound in her mind reverberates in the canyon unceasingly. 一个可能,在她脑海中似声音在深谷中不断地回荡。 Her lie in same place, in the heart has been full of the shock! 她停驻在原地,心中充满了震惊！ quite a long time, has passed through her Ostrich, suddenly has sounded.

In intense offensive and defensive operations, aspect falls into to be at a stalemate. “撤,撤退！”不得已,众人撤退到第二防线。激烈的攻防战中,局面陷入僵持。 „Also has carriage compartment to link in the animal-drawn cart together, builds the cargo, forms the tall wall!” “将板车还有马车车厢链接在一起,把货物都堆砌起来,形成高墙！” After the second defense line, the third defense line is building urgently. 在第二防线之后,第三条防线正在紧急搭建。 The massive house slaves are transporting the cargo, is busy at sweating profusely, nobody can be loaf. 大量的家奴搬运着货物,忙得大汗淋漓,没有人能够偷懒。 Fang Yuan moves a giant wooden crate, Bai Ningbing suddenly walks, another side of gives a hand. 方源搬起一个巨大的木箱,白凝冰忽然走过来,搭手另一边。 In the surface she as if in helping Fang Yuan's is busy, however in fact she collects near the Fang Yuan's ear, said with clenched jaws: „Your this fellow, this group of cold Feixiao cat is you brings in?” 表面上她似乎在帮方源的忙,然而实际上她凑在方源的耳边,咬牙切齿地道:“你这个家伙,这群冷翡枭猫就是你引来的吧？” Fang Yuan seemed startled: „What leaves this word?” 方源似乎吃了一惊:“何出此言？” „Do not install. These fine dust have the strangeness greatly, I do not believe that your such person, meets the good intention to consider these minor details!” Bai Ningbing lowers the sound. “别装了。那些细粉大有古怪,我不相信你这样的人,会好心考虑这些细枝末节！”白凝冰压低声音。 „He He He, was discovered by you finally.” Fang Yuan had not denied. “呵呵呵,终于被你发现了呢。”方源没有否认。 Bai Ningbing cannot bear do a lot of talking, originally caravan this encounters to the frequent attack all the way, is Fang Yuan's „merit”! 白凝冰忍不住磨牙,原来商队这一路上遭遇到频繁的袭击,都是方源的“功劳”！ Two people are lifting a wooden crate, slow mobility, the surroundings stream of people shuttles back and forth, shouts loudly, attention centralized, in this attack fights.
