Volume 2 Blood Splattered My Name Chapter 76 Big Old Tang
"Finding you was easier than I thought. β
Brienne blew dust off her chair and sat down unceremoniously. Two big men stood behind him, one left and one right, and from time to time looked at the little ghost who seemed to be only about ten years old.
"Little sister, if you are more rigorous, I should have found you. At the other end of the desk in front of Brienne, a match sparked on the cigarette case, the tobacco ignited, and the green mist drifted out through the cracks in the blinds, and at this time, the owner of the cigarette, a big black man in a cowboy hat and a tough beard, was leaning lazily on the armrest of the sofa with a cigarette in his mouth, "It's different outside, wandering the streets aimlessly like you, sooner or later it will cause a big problem, now...... There are enough messes. β
"Do you know who I am?"
"I don't know much about you other than your name for me. But if my eyesight hasn't regressed...... "The big black man slowly straightened up, then took off the red lens sunglasses on his face, and stretched out his right hand towards Brienne, "Big Tang, fortunately, Brienne, orβ[The Final Dragonborn]?"
At the moment when the elder Tang said that name, the two big men who were in charge of controlling the scene only felt that the temperature of the air dropped suddenly, and they were obviously standing behind the girl at this time, however, they seemed to clearly feel a pair of cold pupils staring at them, as if some kind of giant beast was looking down on the ants.
β...... Call. After a while, the girl sighed softly, and the cold coercion dissipated into nothingness, as if it had never existed. Brienne handed her hand, and the two of them rested on their desks, using the etiquette of shaking hands to express the obscurity of no hostility between the two parties, "If it was before, Mr. Tang and the two behind me, as well as the hundreds of people waiting outside the door, would have died here because of your words." β
"But you don't, peace is the basis for negotiations, which means that we still have room for negotiation. Old Tang smiled and let go of the other party's hand, and sat back down as he was, "I don't know how you found my whereabouts, but I'd like to hear what your intentions are for coming this time? β
"I'm here this time for Xuanyi. β
Brienne put her hand into the inside of her trench coat, and the two big men standing behind her were about to take a nervous step forward, but the big old man immediately coughed lightly as if nothing had happened, and when he saw the boss hinting at himself, the two looked at each other, and then gave up. Brienne's gaze glanced back slightly, then nodded, "Good." β
As soon as the words fell, Brienne took out a handwritten document in her arms and gently placed it on the desk in front of the elder Tang, "This is a greeting letter written by my lord, please take a look at it." β
However, the brown paper envelope was not picked up, Brienne observed the face of the elder Tang, and found that the man who had been exuding a lonely aura since they met just now seemed to be back to the light, and some kind of heroic young man's posture seemed to make the middle-aged man young again. He stared at the envelope on the table and was silent, and after a while, he raised his head and asked Brienne in a tentative tone:
"So, all the previous rumors are true?"
My brother, Xuanyi, is he really alive?
"Yes. Brienne immediately replied in the affirmative, "Because of [that incident], my lord was extremely seriously injured, and he has been living in seclusion in Rain City for all these years to heal, and it is precisely because of the aftermath of that incident that he has been trying to hide his identity as much as possible, so he has not contacted you again." β
β...... Unexpectedly, he actually overcame the damage of a nuclear bomb, and if it was him, there was nothing impossible. Big Old Tang smiled with relief, "Moreover, you don't have to explain anything to me, Xiaolongmei, he has taken the opportunity of faking his death for so many years to avoid me and everyone, nothing more than ...... It's just disappointment with us, and I knew that twenty years ago. β
Brienne was silent, she originally made such an explanation in order to try to ease the psychology of the old Tang, after all, no matter how familiar the friends are, they have faked their deaths for more than 20 years without telling them, and they can't say it after all, but this old Tang who was one of the [Seven Heroes] with Xuan Yi in the past seems to have a more complicated grudge with Xuan Yi.
"So, why did he suddenly send you to me?" Old Tang took off his cigarette and dusted off his cigarette ashes, "I've seen that video, and looking at his appearance, he is still as strong as he was back then." In any case, if he can't do anything in his state, I can't help much, let alone the way I am. β
"Quite simply, he wants to get you for a drink. β
"What?" Old Don's eyes moved as he nestled in the sofa, he stood up, and his bearded face showed a sneering expression, "What nonsense? Are we still the two big-headed soldiers who were nothing before? While the captain was sleeping, he secretly went to the city to drink and drink all night? Don't make me laugh! It's ridiculous!"
As if he had been stabbed in some sore spot, Old Tang, who had just acted indifferent, stood up at this time, and put on the iconic pair of red lens sunglasses, "Ah He! Old Ma! Send off! It's really unreasonable!" The envelope on the table was grabbed by a hand, Big Old Tang stared at the expressionless Brienne with wide round eyes, and said with a strong anger: "Go back and tell him that if it's for this kind of, you won't go out of your way to find someone to run this trip!" Our friendship was broken twenty years ago, if you want to find a drinking friend, it's easier to find it in a bar, why should I dirty his eyes again with a lackey of the empire!"
"He's dying. Looking at the roaring man in front of her, Brienne calmly replied.
The big man, who was originally on the verge of rage, was stunned by this sentence at this time: "Wait...... What did you say? What's wrong with him?"
"It didn't come without a price to endure a nuclear explosion, even for him. Brienne continued to say expressionlessly: "The treatment has been useless for a long time, the damage caused by radiation has corroded his body to a thousand holes, I don't know if you have heard of the name of the ghost doctor, he is Yucheng, no, he is the most exquisite medical genius in the world, even if the patient is on the verge of death, he can turn decay into magic." However, it was such a doctor who clearly marked the countdown to my father's life of [three months]. β
Brienne stepped out of her seat, straightened her clothes, and made a gesture of farewell: "You may think you've broken off your friendship with him, but he told me that you're one of the few friends he still has alive...... Sorry to bother you at this time, farewell. β
With that, the dilapidated iron door was opened by Brienne, and she strode away without looking back, and outside the door, countless waiting workers consciously made way for this petite figure.
Friend......
Xuanyi, do you still regard me as a friend?
Old Tang held a cigarette in his mouth, and between the green mist, his eyes wandered aimlessly on the ceiling, and the past events of the war years passed by quickly.
"You guy, you've always been so out of the box. Old Tang smiled helplessly, and then he lifted the cowboy hat on his head, and said to the two big men who were still standing in place in a daze: "I have changed my mind, go, chase the girl back." β
If you want a drink, why shouldn't I?
