"That guy and I met very early on. Tian" "Lai NovelＷW"
As autumn is approaching, the square in the dusk seems to have been infected with a cold atmosphere, which makes the streets that were originally deserted because the crowds dispersed become even more desolate. Walking on such a road, although Duan Qing, who has just experienced several escapes, can feel a little relieved, but for him, hiding is actually not a difficult thing to do. In comparison, he is actually more He hated the loneliness he had experienced for a long time, just as he was tired of the endless pursuit.
Fortunately, the players who couldn't find anyone seemed to have withdrawn. Fortunately... I still had companions.
"Remember the mission I mentioned once about searching for imperial spies? The one who beat me half to death." Nan Tieshan looked up at the fiery red sky and sighed with some nostalgia: "After that incident , the principality seemed to have decided that I was not dead, so it sent some people to ask me about the situations I had encountered. Later, they may have thought that I was quite powerful, so they gave me some rewards and let me rest in peace and recover."
"The fat man came here for a period of time. He later told me that if I have any problems, I can go to him and he can help me solve it."
The big man in black armor turned over and over, looking at his fists, and shook his head in amusement: "Now that I think about it, I was already in the trap at that time... Hey, are you listening?"
"Ah? Ah, of course." From a certain direction on the street, a familiar busking figure withdrew his gaze. Duan Qing nodded quickly and responded: "Don't tell me about your mission to recruit the Nosier people. , he also gave it to you..."
"That... that's not that." Nan Tieshan laughed: "That's the military headquarters of the principality... Well, thinking about it this way, it does seem to have something to do with him..."
"Why, are you remembering his trap again?"
"Ah hahaha, how can I? Although he seems to have a bad temper, that guy is still relatively reliable...don't you think so?"
"I don't know, anyway, I have told him." Duan Qing lowered his head and said, "As for what happens next..."
Conflict, war, destruction... Countless pictures flashed through his mind, as if they were a group photo of some possibilities he had imagined. But after a moment, he shook his head and dismissed these unnecessary associations and started over. Analyzing the voice in his ears: "...But I didn't expect that you are still a powerful guy. No wonder those informants have your name in their minds..."
"I'm so powerful, shouldn't you know it all on Falling Star Mountain?" Duan Qing said with a smile, "It's their turn to tell you?"
"Stop being such a bastard! Then why didn't I see you participating in the competition?"
"Uh... special circumstances, special circumstances."
"Bah, what a special situation, to put it bluntly, it's just a lack of strength..."
Duan Qing touched his nose and did not answer, because he also felt that the big man's words made sense.
"But these are not problems! As long as we come to Tania, we will be a family! From now on, I will protect you. Although it is not as good as a big guild like Jianghu, I will definitely let you walk around here. Who can If he doesn’t accept it... we’ll beat him up! Hahahaha!”
"Come on, didn't you just say that your little brother was beaten?"
"Uh... special circumstances, special circumstances, don't worry about these details... By the way, you are so powerful, do you want to join our Iron Fist Gang?"
"I have a guild, didn't the fat man say that?"
"Then what is the Fool's Adventure Group? What is that? I've never heard of it. What are you doing in a small guild like that? Can the leader give you a salary? Can he give you a bonus? Can you drink a big bowl of wine? Do you want to eat big chunks of meat?”
"No." Duan Qing said expressionlessly, "I still owe others money."
"So the less developed a guild is, the more it likes to plot in these small places without any structure at all!" Nan Tieshan puffed out his chest and waved his hand: "Why are you still staying there? Just run away. If he doesn't dare to let people go, it depends on labor and management..."
"Hey, hey, let's not tell the truth. Do you know how much I owe?"
"How much? We'll pay it back for you! The Iron Fist Gang can still afford this amount of money..."
"one million."
A girl's voice suddenly came from the intersection of the street in front of the two of them, choking Nan Tieshan's words. Still wearing the black leather armor, the little girl angrily put her hands on her hips and looked at this place with a look that even Duan Qing did not dare to look at: "Okay, I have been out for a long time. Not only did I get into trouble, but I also want to Have you rebelled?"
"Uh... no, no, it's impossible." Duan Qing hurriedly took two steps forward and forced a smile at the same time: "How could I withdraw from the association? After all, I am a member, right? How can I be so willing to leave... …”
"Hmph!" Mengzhu tilted her nose and stepped forward with her slightly slender legs due to the design of the leather armor: "Then let me ask you, what did you do today?"
"Um, um...didn't you go on a mission?"
"Doing the task? Have you finished it? Where is the money?"
"Uh, that, that..."
"I knew it!"
The little girl stretched out her hand and pulled off Duan Qing's temporary cloak to hide her identity: "You ran away early without going to make money, and ended up getting into trouble! You just like running around, don't you? It won't work to let Sister Liushang and Sister Ninglan look at you... If I had known this, I should have asked you to run errands with me!"
"Don't, am I just playing a long game to catch the big fish?" Duan Qing jumped back and forth to explain: "Believe me, this mission will definitely make a lot of money in the end..."
"Make a lot of money? How much can you make? One million?"
"Well, it's hard to say now..."
"That's not the same thing!"
"Hey, let go, let go, it hurts..."
The big man in black armor just stared dumbfoundedly at the "powerful" man he had been recruiting before, being submissively taken care of by the little girl who suddenly appeared, without any intention of fighting back. He moved his nearly dislocated jaw, as if he wanted to say something, but facing these two men and women who were arguing with each other on the street as if no one else was around, this man who had always been very talkative didn't know where to interrupt. :"that……"
"Are you...his leader?"
"It's the captain!"
The little girl replied angrily: "There are only five people in our adventure group, so I can only be the captain."
Looking at Duan Qing's helpless face next to him, Nan Tieshan's mouth became wider again.
"who is he?"
"Nan Tieshan, leader of the Iron Fist Gang." Duan Qing rubbed his arm and replied, "The one I told you before."
"Oh?" The little girl looked at him with squinting eyes: "That means... their guild is very powerful?"
"No, no, I didn't mean it!"
Sensing something was wrong, Duan Qing quickly shook his head and said: "How can he be as good as our Fool's Adventure Team? Look at the harmony and love in our team, the atmosphere is harmonious, the distribution is fair, and there are benefits every day, especially our team leader, Ying Ming Divine martial arts, wise and brave, that and that... versatile, beautiful as a flower..."
"How can you say so well..." Mengzhu blushed, and then whispered: "Don't think that flattering you will make me forgive you."
"Okay, okay, I won't forgive you if you don't forgive me." Looking at the eyes around him, Duan Qing hurriedly whispered: "Shall we change places to talk? Look at so many people watching..."
"Well... okay, I'll settle the score with you somewhere else."
The little girl thought for a moment, then nodded, then glanced at Nan Tieshan again, turned around and walked back in the direction she came from. Slightly slumping his shoulders, Duan Qing turned back to Nan Tieshan and showed a helpless expression: "...Let's go, President Nan Tieshan."
"You..." The big man in black armor didn't know what to say anymore: "You...she..."
"It's okay, she is just such a girl." Duan Qing smiled: "I have talked with her about Falling Star Mountain before, so...we are all our own."
"Uh, you and her are...?"
"A member of the group. She is the leader and I am a member..."
"No, no, no, what I want to ask is... Who are you and her in real life?"
"in reality?"
Looking at the little girl who walked out for a while and found that no one was following her, she turned around and shouted, a smile escaped from the corner of Duan Qing's mouth.
"In real life... we don't know each other yet."
************************************
"Do you really owe her a million?"
"It's a joke, it's a joke, please don't take it seriously...hiss!"
In the Walia Tavern in Tania City, Duan Qing and Mengzhu were sitting face to face with Nan Tieshan on both sides of a certain wine table, chatting casually while enjoying dinner here. Although this place does not seem to be as famous as the civilian dignity place, and the guests do not seem to come as much as that place, the atmosphere here is still very lively, it can even be said to be more lively - the tables are placed irregularly around the restaurant, There were men drinking with each other everywhere. Some of the red-faced warriors had already taken off their coats and were arguing loudly and laughing with their companions around them. I don’t know if it was because they drank too much or because they were There are endless topics to talk about.
According to Nan Tieshan, this place where he often comes to drink is the Tania branch of the Warrior House.
Withdrawing her hand that was secretly twisting the other person's arm, the little girl frowned and looked at the crowd around the hall. Her other hand was unconsciously stirring the drink in the glass in front of her, as if she was hesitating about something - according to what she said before, She is now a leader after all. In line with the attitude of being responsible and promoting the brand of this adventure group, she must pay attention to the etiquette of negotiating with the other party's president. She also has to abide by some basic routines, so when the other party mentions that everyone When they had a meal together, she maintained her majesty as a leader without hesitation, nodded in agreement, and followed the other person's choice to come to this place.
Although I regret it now, but...
"Ahem, cough...I heard that you want to poach members of our group, right?"
"Well……"
Deliberately pretending to be mature, Duan Qing on the side couldn't help but laugh. At the same time, Nan Tieshan showed a dumbfounded expression: "Just now... I didn't understand the situation, so I was a little offended. I really can't help it..."
"I don't care about him."
Mengzhu glared at Duan Qing next to him, and said calmly: "As long as you can pay off his one million debt, I can't consider it..."
"Huh?" Nan Tieshan glanced at Duan Qing with a grimace again, and then hesitated for a while amid the noise around him: "That that..."
"I won't get involved in your family affairs, right?"
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, nothing." Duan Qing on the side said quickly: "Stop fooling people, do you think a big guild can afford so much money? Prices are so high now, the situation is not good, and... "
"I'm not worth so much money either."
"Ah hahaha, I won't say whether you are worth the price or not. We can't just forget about this friendship, right?" Nan Tieshan also laughed: "I just said it before, I don’t mean to force it. Since Brother Mo is so... loving, we can also use our respective identities to cooperate together, right? If there are any difficulties in the future, I will ask you for help, and you can also ask me for help..."
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean!" the little girl shouted excitedly: "Um... have you replaced the unused equipment? I have an agreement with Cabinburg. As long as we have such low-level goods, we can do it." Sell it to them..."
"Huh? Oh, there should be more of this kind of thing. I'll ask about it later in the meeting..."
"Okay, okay, I won't let you do it in vain. The money you earned... let's open it three to seven, okay?"
In the atmosphere that was rapidly heating up, Mengzhu discussed business with Nan Tieshan and started bargaining with each other at the same time. Duan Qing, who was left alone, naturally had no intention of complaining. He just picked up the wine glass and sighed deeply.
This girl is hopeless. She might actually sell me one day...
The negotiations were harmonious and fast, and ended happily with agreements on abandoned equipment, herbal ores, and mutual assistance. The little girl took a sip of the drink in the cup with some satisfaction and enjoyed the joy of victory. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she slapped the table and jumped up: "Oh! I forgot about Sister Ninglan!"
"Are you going to scare people to death?" Duan Qing on the side almost stuffed food into his nose: "Don't be so surprised, okay?"
"I forgot to tell Sister Ninglan!" Mengzhu shook Duan Qing's arm: "Maybe she is still waiting for me..."
"...She told you my news?" Duan Qing looked at her and said, "That's why you found me?"
"Yes, she said that you were chased by many people, and you may still be in the parliament hall now... Huh?"
"When I saw you, nothing seemed to have happened to you?"
"It was over by then." Duan Qing stretched out his hand towards the other side: "With the help of this hero."
"It's just a matter of a finger." Nan Tieshan laughed: "But what happens next...what are you going to do?"
"What else can I do? Just watch them fight from the sidelines." Duan Qing spread his hands helplessly: "As an individual, I have done everything I can. The fat man was also recommended by you, and the rest..."
He raised his head and looked at the southwest sky: "I guess I can only leave it to fate."
Amid the complicated expressions between the two people, the little girl on the side shook her golden braid and asked inexplicably: "What are you talking about?"
"It's okay." Duan Qing replied with a smile.
"It's just someone who wants to repeat the fortress' trick." (To be continued.)
