Chapter 197: Senior Swordsman Instructor
Shen Mengting's appearance was extremely upright, and she barely showed any mood swings. And Zhao Yu, who was sitting in front of her, looked like he didn't know why.
To say that Qian Hao suddenly mentioned his friend in Gunma Town, Zhao Yu was a little surprised.
Zhao Yu's mouth bulged into a balloon. He vaguely remembered that when he first met Qian Hao, this person was also accompanied by a friend. The specific name Zhao Yu had long forgotten, he just sighed, why Qian Hao could meet some idle people in so many places.
"Do you ask my friend?" Qian Hao touched his chin.
"Of course. Shen Mengting pulled off the reins of the horse in her hand slightly, then manipulated the horse she was riding, and swam a few steps to the side. The sound of horses' hooves is also spreading in the forest, and from time to time it will fluctuate people's eardrums, "I want to know a little bit about his personality before I meet your friend!"
Hearing this, Qian Hao straightened his waist instantly, "Ah...... I see!" He pressed his hand to his temple, and smiled twitchingly.
"Hey!Qian Hao, may I ask why you are smiling so annoyingly?" Shen Mengting narrowed her eyes in disgust, "I'm asking you to introduce your friends a little, not to ask you to giggle happily!" As she finished speaking, she spewed a thick breath forward.
Qian Hao quickly lowered his throat and kept muttering the words 'yes, yes'.
"Okay, who the hell is that Gunma friend of yours?"
With Shen Mengting's question, Zhao Yu and Jiang Jingwen both stared at Qian Hao.
Because he was stared at by so many people at once, Qian Hao was a little uncomfortable. He continued to clear his throat, but the image that appeared after him was a little bit like a big deal.
I saw that Qian Hao took a deep breath and made a smile, "Oh...... Oh...... That Gunma friend you asked, that's ......" As if selling Guanzi, Qian Hao's thick thumb was stretched out and swung down quickly.
Shen Mengting seemed to be a little unbearable, she lowered her head slightly and lowered her eyes, "Qian Hao, don't do any other superfluous actions, what kind of person is that friend of yours." As if holding her breath, after a few seconds of gathering, she quickly roared, "Tell me!"
was somewhat shocked by Shen Mengting's shouting, and Qian Hao embarrassedly put down Ben's raised arm. Still, his throat clearing didn't go away. He even used his clenched fist hand to firmly attach it to his mouth, "Ahem...... Cough...... Oh, that friend you asked me!"
As if she was taking a deep breath, but Shen Mengting's ensuing angry glare made Qian Hao cough in a panic, "Ahem...... Cough...... Okay! That friend of mine......" He quickly followed with a quick handing of breaths, "He's a swordsman instructor in the Gunma Town Proving Grounds!"
What?Swordsman Instructor?Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a reverie in his mind when he heard such a word. No, the words 'swordsman instructor' evoked a certain memory in his heart.
This memory is what happened to him in Vortex. Zhao Yu can still remember how he used to test in the trial ground. Although this memory is not very good, the progress of his trial is also miserable. However, this is indeed his real memory, and no other memory can be allowed to enter.
Perhaps, if it weren't for a series of changes, Zhao Yu would still be living an ordinary trial life in Vortex Town! Of course, he must still be living with his mother, so he doesn't have to work so hard.
"Swordsman Instructor?" Shen Mengting raised two eyebrows.
"That's right! It's the swordsman instructor!" Qian Hao leaned back, as if he was asking—what's wrong?
Swordsman instructor is a relatively common job, and in the entire Saran Kingdom, as long as it can be counted as a town, there is basically such a staff member.
"Swordsman Instructor!" Shen Mengting muttered again. Soon after, her eyebrows changed to their original positions, and her eyes quickly looked directly at Qian Hao, "You said that your friend is a swordsman instructor in Gunma Town?"
Qian Hao heard the question, and he quickly frowned, "Yes, what's wrong? Is there any problem? You asked here and there from the beginning." ”
"I'm just checking something!"
"What are you confirming?"
Shen Mengting immediately hugged her arms, and the two eyeballs were also in her sockets, "If it's really as you said, your friend is a swordsman instructor in Gunma Town......" There was a kind of contemplative style, Shen Mengting shook her head widely, "Then that means that your friend's professional level is at least above the intermediate level!"
No matter where you go, you must first determine the other party's professional level! Qian Hao looked at Shen Mengting with admiration.
Since Shen Mengting met Qian Hao, she has always shown her desire to find capable people, and this time will naturally be no exception.
"Yes, since my friend can become a swordsman instructor, it proves that his strength is at a high level!" Qian Hao replied without hesitation.
Zhao Yu, who pricked up his ears beside him, couldn't help but purse his lips. He remembered that in the Vortex Town where he was, Li Yuan, the swordsman instructor inside, was only of intermediate level.
That is to say...... Zhao Yu tilted his neck, he had already overlapped the images of Qian Hao's friends and Coach Li Yuan. Soon, however, the two unrelated people were separated again.
They are not people with a concept at all!Zhao Yu licked his lips. He is very aware of the gap between 'intermediate' and 'advanced'. It should be said that the gap between the professional classes is very obvious.
"Advanced!" Shen Mengting emphasized this level, she seemed to have entered the stage of deep thought again, and her eyes no longer observed anyone.
"It's a high-level swordsman!" Jiang Jingwen interjected beside her. The girl's face was delighted, "Isn't that amazing!"
"Of course!" Qian Hao picked up without even thinking about it, "That friend of mine...... Although I don't dare to brag about how powerful he is, among the younger generation of swordsmen, he can definitely be regarded as a beautiful man. ”
"Really, how old is that friend of yours?" Jiang Jingwen let out an innocent and immature aura.
"You're the same age as me!" Qian Hao replied proudly. But just a second or two passed, and he seemed to think of something, and immediately denied his previous remarks, "Oh! he should be a year older than me." But we were in the same trial class. ”
Hearing these words, some memories began to revive in Zhao Yu's brain again. In Vortex Town, he also has a dead friend who is in a different class than him, and is still in the same class.
"Ahh After a long time, she seemed to suddenly think of something, "Ah! Isn't he at the same level of strength as Sister Mengting?"
With Jiang Jingwen's words, everyone's eyes were on Shen Mengting.
Seeing this, Shen Mengting took a deep breath, of course, her hands were not idle, she wantonly tore the reins in her hands, and 'Nasa' was pulled by her and ran wildly, "Yes! He is a Qian Hao at the same level as me! I didn't expect you to have such a powerful friend!"
"Of course! Who is my Qian Hao? That's ...... That's ...... Oops...... Qian Hao seems to have forgotten that he has been seriously injured, and his boasting has reached the realm of selflessness, "There is no longer a word to describe it." But I'll have one more thing to say here......" The corners of his mouth seemed to be crooked, and he kept fiddling with his thumb behind him, "The friends I know Qian Hao know are all over the country! Don't talk about a high-level swordsman, even if you are a powerful person, I know them all!"
"Wow, is that really the case?" Jiang Jingwen actually believed it, she clenched her hands into fists and placed them on her chest.
"Of course. When did your brother Qian Hao deceive you again!"
Seeing Qian Hao's self-boasting to such an extent, Zhao Yu's eyes narrowed. He was eager to taunt him, but whenever something reached his throat, he would swallow it for some reason.
However, Shen Mengting completed this move for him.
"Qian Hao! It seems that your mouth was born to brag. I'm just asking you a few questions and pulling out so many boastful words. Although Shen Mengting still held the reins tightly, her hands were wrapped around her arms, "I sometimes think!
"No! no!" Qian Hao shook his arm with a grin, "Because that's all true!"
"And say that's the truth!" Shen Mengting glared.
"Sister Mengting! It's just that a person under the age of thirty has a high-level professional level!
Jiang Jingwen's words made Shen Mengting nod her head. Indeed, at the age of twenty, to be able to reach a senior professional level, that is worthy of respect. Although in Cellos, there isn't much of a great deal about the high-level. But considering the national hardship of Saran, a young high-ranking swordsman, that is a talent.
Thinking of this, Shen Mengting couldn't wait to meet that friend.
"Qian Hao, no matter what! I always believe your words...... Hey, don't be happy first! I'm telling you, I'm believing in the message 'Your friend is at the advanced level!' So, I'm a little excited, and I want to meet that friend of yours soon!"
As she spoke, Shen Mengting's heart swelled with blood. A person of the same age and profession as herself, Shen Mengting really wanted to see who the Holy Spirit was!
"Ah, you want to meet him!" Qian Hao saw through Shen Mengting's mind at a glance.
Shen Mengting naturally kept concealing it, she tilted her head indifferently, "You can say this! I just want to meet that friend of yours quickly!"
"Ahh
"When was the last time you saw him?" Jiang Jingwen asked with a wink.
"Ahh......h
After about half a minute, the answer came out of Qian Hao's mouth, "It's been a long time! Because I've been on the road all year round, I can't meet my former friends." The last time I met him was more than three years ago!"
"What, more than three years ago?" Shen Mengting's eyes widened suddenly.
The other two were not idle, and they were also surprised.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Qian Hao, who sensed that something was wrong with others, followed by the enlargement of his slit-like eyes.
"Ahh......h Haven't you been to Gunma Town in more than three years?" Probably because of excitement, Shen Mengting's tone changed.
Qian Hao was still a little puzzled, he lowered his head, his whole neck was tightened, "Ah? What's wrong? I looked puzzled? I was originally a chivalrous wanderer everywhere, okay! It's normal to go out for a long time and not come back." Do you need to be so surprised?"
"No! If you really haven't been to Gunma for three years, and you haven't been in touch with your friend! How can you be sure that your friend is still here? It's been three years! Comrade! Even if he's still in Gunma Town, can you be sure he's still a coach at the proving ground?"
Shen Mengting's series of questions hit Qian Hao mercilessly.
Unexpectedly, Qian Hao was not affected at all, but he still twisted his body calmly, "What are you doing!
"Can I not be excited? We're on the run now! And we still have a mission to do, we must run to Kiyose City at the moment, without the slightest delay. Qian Hao: It was for the sake of your injuries that I decided to go to a town for the sake of your injuries. You're good, play tricks with me!"
"Hey, how can I play tricks with you!"
"Tell me if your friend is still a coach in Gunma Town!
"Do you need to talk about that?" Qian Hao quickly waved his hands, "I can be sure that he is still in Gunma Town!"
"But where did that sense of conviction come from?" Shen Mengting asked viciously, her upper lip had reached the point of a whole turn, "I haven't seen you for three years." No, I think you haven't set foot in Gunma in over three years. How can you say that you can see him? Three years is a very long time, and there will be changes in it, you know?"
Seeing Shen Mengting so excited, Qian Hao hurriedly stretched out his hand to comfort, "Oh! Don't be so excited!"
"Can I not be excited?" Shen Mengting leaned forward, her mouth spurting excited words. This made Zhao Yu, who was sitting in front of her, a little uncomfortable, "I was originally kind, but now you are actually playing this kind of fool! What if you can't find your friends after you get to Gunma Town?
"Oh! Don't talk about that!"
"Can I not talk about it? We don't have that much time to waste. When you go to Gunma Town, you can stay for two days at most. In two days' time, we'll have to leave!"
"I know! I know!" Qian Hao's tone had a bitter tone, "If I can't find it, I won't admit it and continue to delay the search." You don't think I have this friend, we went to Gunma Town just to rest and stay, that's fine!"
After Qian Hao said this, Shen Mengting also felt reasonable. If Qian Hao's friend is really gone, then he can only give up.
However, a high-level young swordsman just passed by like this, which really made Shen Mengting feel a little pity! You must know that the high-level swordsmen in their military camp have not reached the point of prosperity. In other words, the quality of the soldiers in the Saran Kingdom is really to the point where they are pulled into the basket and are vegetables.
Alas! Shen Mengting sighed and shook her head by the way.
"You don't have to sigh like that! Actually, nine times out of ten, my friend is still in Gunma Town, and I'm almost certain that he's still a coach. After all, the Proving Ground Coach is a very stable job, eating the emperor's food! How could he give up!"
"But it's three years! Do you know what it means, and how can you guarantee that nothing has happened to your friend in three years?"
Qian Hao seemed to be a little bored, he swallowed his saliva, and his facial features were clustered together, "Oh! What if something happens? It's not a big deal that I don't have this friend!"
"Wow! Listening to your tone, it seems that you are not familiar with that friend of yours!" Shen Mengting first blinked her eyes a few times, and then rolled her eyes to look at the sky, "You shouldn't be fooling me, right! You don't have any friends in Gunma Town at all, it's just an acquaintance of yours, you have nothing to do with each other at all, and the so-called friends are also your wishful thinking?"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense!" Qian Hao opened his mouth wide. Within a second, he even raised an arm, "I can swear to God, that person is my best friend of Qian Hao's life! Even if I have more friends of wine and meat, he will never be positioned here!"
Shen Mengting squinted at the excited Qian Hao when she heard this, "Why are you so exaggerated!"
"Of course it's an exaggeration! I'm a person who values friendship very much, okay!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yu felt a little sick to his stomach. He held his breath to keep himself from vomiting, but the ensuing sourness in his chest still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Qian Hao, do you believe what you said?" Shen Mengting twitched the corners of her mouth disdainfully.
"If you don't believe it, I can't help it!" Qian Hao turned his head to the other side, he didn't seem to want to look at Shen Mengting anymore, "I have known that friend since I was a child, and it can be said that I grew up with him." Both of us had a bad family background, so we both chose to leave the town where we used to live and came to Gunma Town to make a living!"
"Later, when I couldn't get my heart down, I decided to go out again, and he stayed on to work as a trial ground instructor. So do you understand?" Qian Hao shook his head as he first asked, "He's not the kind of person who likes to travel from south to north, if he did, he would have left Gunma Town with me! Besides, three years is a long time? When you went to Arakawa Town and said you wanted to meet someone, but you haven't contacted each other for more than five years? How can you be sure that the person you are looking for must still be in Arakawa Town?"
Qian Hao's words, just like the arrows of light he had shot in the past, struck Shen Mengting mercilessly.
