Chapter 454: Estrangement
Chen Ning didn't expect Xiao Ke to appear at this time, and he shot down Deacon Xiong in the wave tsunami, and now the tsunami several stories high has been overwhelming, Chen Ning can't find the shadow of Deacon Xiong, so he can only call Kan Jing and Qin Yingqi to them: "Withdraw!"
Fang Zheng, Qin Yingqi, Kan Jing, Qin Que and others all swept out like falcons, avoiding the wind and waves, and rushed inland.
None of these people were weak, and they had soon run more than 10 kilometers away, temporarily escaping from the area covered by the tsunami.
Xiao Ke was wearing a black robe, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist, with his handsome appearance and elegant temperament, the whole person looked humble and gentlemanly.
Qin Que and Duan Canglong, the butcher, and Luo Hu were all Xiao Ke's former subordinates, and when they saw Xiao Ke again at this time, especially when they thought that they would be able to fight and make contributions under Xiao Ke again in the future, they all couldn't hide their joy, and they came up to say hello to Xiao Ke one by one.
Xiao Ke was also extremely happy, responding enthusiastically to everyone, making everyone feel that they were valued.
However, Kan Jing, Fang Zheng and Qin Yingqi did not take the initiative to greet Xiao Ke, they were all Chen Ning's subordinates, and they did not salute Xiao Ke. First, after the incident in the Hall of Heroes that year, they didn't have a good impression of Xiao Ke; second, because Xiao Ke arrived this time, it was likely to compete with Chen Ning for command, and everyone, as Chen Ning's subordinates, naturally didn't like Xiao Ke's arrival.
After Xiao Ke said hello to a few of his former subordinates, his eyes fell on Chen Ning and Chen Ning's subordinates, he walked over with a smile and said to Chen Ning: "Chen Ning, we meet again, shouldn't you welcome my arrival?"
Chen Ning looked at this former teacher, who later fell out, and then leveled each other again, and said in an extraordinarily calm tone: "I welcome anyone with lofty ideals who comes to fight against zombies. ”
Chen Ning's words were a little ambiguous, only saying that he welcomed those who came to fight against the zombies, but he did not directly say that he welcomed Xiao Ke.
Everyone at the scene was a human spirit, and they all immediately felt the faint disharmony in the relationship between Chen Ning and Xiao Ke.
In fact, Chen Ning did not resist Xiao Ke's arrival at first, but tonight, when he was about to take down Deacon Xiong and wanted to get more information from Deacon Xiong, Xiao Ke suddenly appeared and shot down Deacon Xiong, making Chen Ning's plan fall short.
This inevitably made Chen Ning suspicious, why did Xiao Ke appear so ingenious?
Chen Ning and their hunting operation, in order to ensure the success, they all concealed it from the soldiers below, and even when they left the Great Wall of Steel, they left quietly. Except for a few key core figures such as Tears Zongheng who knew about this operation, most of the soldiers of the Great Wall of Steel did not know.
And how did Xiao Ke know that they were here? Did Xiao Ke arrive at the Great Wall of Steel, and then accidentally learned about it from someone on the Great Wall of Steel, and then rushed here to help? Or was there another reason?
If it's the first reason, it's okay, if Xiao Ke appears here, there are other reasons, then Xiao Ke's behavior is a bit intriguing.
Xiao Ke looked at Chen Ning with sincere eyes: "The days when I was injured and recuperating were so boring that my whole life seemed to have no meaning." However, thanks to your help last time, my injuries can be recovered, although my strength has been greatly reduced, but I can still dedicate my strength to the empire and exert my residual heat. Chen Ning, please believe me, I am here to help you completely eradicate this zombie force in Qilin City. ”
Before Chen Ning could speak, Xiao Ke's old subordinate Duan Canglong couldn't help it, and stood up and said: "Chen Ning, the past has already passed, shouldn't you be so petty and worry about General Xiao's previous affairs, right?"
Duan Canglong and the others didn't know much about the recent situation between Chen Ning and Xiao Ke, and seeing that Chen Ning seemed to be a little unkind to see Xiao Ke, they naturally wondered if Chen Ning was holding a grudge too much?
But Duan Canglong said that Chen Ning was a chicken belly, and Kan Jing was the first to be unhappy, and stood up and said coldly: "Duan Canglong, what do you mean by this?" Hehe, do you know if it weren't for Chen Ning giving up the God of War Golden Pill to Xiao Ke, Xiao Ke would be able to stand here today?"
Duan Canglong and the others were slightly startled, only then did they know that Xiao Ke had obtained the treasure of the Black God of War, and only then did he survive.
However, Duan Canglong still said: "Mr. Xiao was still Chen Ning's teacher before, and he also had a lot of support for Chen Ning, although there are some things that are not appropriate, but since Chen Ning is willing to let the God of War Golden Pill save Mr. Xiao, why don't you wait to see Mr. Xiao's arrival now?"
Fang Zheng said coldly: "Hehe, can't we tolerate his arrival, our actions are secret, how could he appear here so coincidentally, why did he rush to shoot down Deacon Xiong, so that we have no one to live now?"
Xiao Ke's eyes flickered when he heard this, but he quickly returned to normal, stood up and said sincerely: "I arrived at the Great Wall of Steel, and I heard that you were on a dangerous mission, so I rushed here." ”
Chen Ning stared at Xiao Ke: "I heard, who said it, I strictly ordered everyone not to divulge the secrets of the operation, who is so bold and disobeys my orders?"
When Xiao Ke heard this, he couldn't answer for a while.
Qin Que next to him suddenly spoke: "I asked someone to tell Mr. Xiao, I know that Mr. Xiao will arrive soon, so I told my cronies, when Mr. Xiao arrives, tell Mr. Xiao, this is my problem, I did not obey General Chen's strict order not to leak, I am willing to be punished." ”
In addition to the butcher, several of Xiao Ke's old departments, Luo Hu and Duan Canglong also said in unison: "We also asked our subordinates to tell Mr. Xiao the news, and we are willing to accept the punishment together!"
Chen Ning narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
Kan Jing and Fang Zheng also saw that it was not Qin Que and the others who told Xiao Ke the news of the operation at all, but they didn't want to see Chen Ning embarrass Xiao Ke, so they insisted that they informed Xiao Ke. They did this, firstly, because they didn't want Chen Ning to have a fierce conflict with Xiao Ke, and secondly, they were all Xiao Ke's old subordinates, and they trusted Xiao Ke very much, just like the Bull Demon King and they were to Chen Ning.
Chen Ning said slowly: "I said, I welcome all those who come to fight against zombies." But if someone who comes to make trouble, or who has a grudge himself, if I find evidence of it, I will definitely not spare it. ”
After Chen Ning finished speaking, he turned around and left, and Kan Jing and Qin Yingqi, as well as Fang Zheng, Shi Python, and Qiu Yalong hurriedly followed.
In the end, only Xiao Ke and Qin Que, the butcher, Duan Canglong, and Luo Hu remained in place.
Xiao Ke looked at the back of Chen Ning and the others walking away, and a wry smile appeared on his handsome face: "Hehe, I'm also confused now, I don't know if it's the right choice to come here, maybe I fell from the altar of the Dadu Governor, I should live at home, just grow flowers and raise birds, I shouldn't come here, heroes are most afraid of twilight!"
Qin Que hurriedly comforted and said: "Mr. Xiao, you are the first person in the empire in two hundred years, and you have already made countless contributions to the empire at a young age, even if you come down from the position of the governor of the capital, it is for the empire, and you were injured in the battle with the zombies and infected with the zombie virus, so you were forced to abdicate and make way for Xian." Your contribution to the empire, your great achievements, we all have to see, and we have witnessed your greatness, who dares to say that yours is not we will never agree, even if it is Chen Ning, we will always support you. ”
Duan Canglong also said excitedly: "Yes, Mr. Xiao, Chen Ning is too narrow-minded, he doesn't even want to see your arrival, this guy has no courage, he is not a person who has achieved great things, I see, if you want to level the zombie city, in the end, you have to lead the army to fight." ”
Xiao Ke clenched his fists: "Thank you, thank you for your support and support, Xiao has your subordinates, why worry about the big thing? However, this attack on the zombie city should be led by Chen Ning, I only plan to assist Chen Ning." What leads the army, what commands, please don't mention this kind of thing again. ”
Duan Canglong snorted and said: "Chen Ning, I used to think it was too good, but today it seems that he is also an intolerable person, if he leads the army to make any mistakes, I will definitely be the first to stand up and advocate for Mr. Xiao to let you lead the army." ”
"Old Duan, don't talk about it......" Xiao Ke said this, but a gleam flashed in his eyes.
……
Chen Ning returned to the Great Wall of Steel along the road with Kan Jing and the others, and Kan Jing couldn't help but say: "Chen Ning, Xiao Ke seems to be loyal, and he has bad intentions, and he obviously wants to attack the zombie city this time and fight a beautiful turnaround." ”
Chen Ning said calmly: "As long as the zombies can be destroyed, it doesn't matter to me whether the credit falls on him or on my head." It's just that I'm a little worried......"
Suga: "What are you worried about?"
Chen Ning wanted to say that he was worried that Xiao Ke himself had a problem, but thinking about it, there was no evidence now, and it was all his own speculation. In addition, Xiao Ke is the commander of the Immortal Bird, Black Shark, and Canglong Legion, and controls the third force of the coalition army, and it is really not appropriate for him to come here without evidence, because this will intensify the contradiction between his subordinates and Xiao Ke's subordinates.
So, Chen Ning finally shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm afraid I'm just worrying too much." ”
