Chapter 219: Harsh Environment
"Become the most powerful swordsman in Saran!" Shen Jun's answer was this.
Qian Hao did not suspect that there was something wrong with his ears, because he always believed that this dream was extremely normal. Everyone has the qualifications to dream of becoming the number one profession in their home country. His dream since childhood was also to become Saran's No. 1 archer.
"You want to be the first swordsman?"
"What, do you think I'm dreaming?" Shen Jun's tone was a little resistant.
Qian Hao hurriedly raised his hands, "No, I think this is also normal! Isn't my dream to become the number one archer?"
"Ahh
"What? Now you think I'm a fool?"
"Neither do I!But I Shen Jun knows very well that your dream has a very good chance of coming true!Because our Saran Kingdom doesn't have a powerful archer at all!" As he spoke, Shen Jun lowered his head.
Seeing the shame in his current expression, Qian Hao immediately added, "Your dreams can also come true." Someone has said before that Shen Jun is a very talented swordsman!"
"Alas, you said talent!" Shen Jun touched the back of his neck with his hand, "Hehe! I don't have any talent! I'm just a high-level swordsman! Besides, there must be a swordsman in the Saran Kingdom who is much more powerful than me!"
"I heard that our Saran country is currently very short of talents, so that woman has to be found among the people!" "The 'woman' in Qian Hao's mouth naturally refers to Shen Mengting.
"Speaking of that woman, she's a swordsman better than me!" Shen Jun raised his head high, he stared straight at the sky, not knowing what was going on in his head.
Perhaps, in Shen Jun's mind, he has converted the clouds he saw when he looked up into the image of Shen Mengting.
"That's not necessarily! You're both senior! It doesn't mean that one side will necessarily be able to overpower the other!"
"Oh?
"Tell me more! You haven't tried it, so how can you know who is stronger and who is weak!"
"Hehe! Well, if you have time one day, I'll try it with her!" Shen Jun casually touched the dirt around him with his foot.
"Indeed! If you pass the competition, it will be clear who is strong and who is weak! But in my Qian Hao's heart, you Shen Jun is more powerful than her. You're the best swordsman I've ever seen!"
Shen Jun's cheeks twitched when he heard this, "Heh! Qian Hao! You are too ...... That's what the hell!"
"I'm not a sycophant! I really think you're better than her!"
Maybe it was because he saw Qian Hao's face stiffened, and Shen Jun realized that the other party didn't mean to joke. He straightened up slightly, and he no longer looked like he was standing casually, "Why? Tell me why you think 'I'm better than her'?"
"Because the environment you two are in is very different!" Qian Hao's answer was not at all muddy, and went straight to the point, "She grew up under the aura of a rich family when she was a child, and the trial resources she received far exceeded those of ordinary people. That's why she became a high-ranking swordsman at such a young age. Qian Hao took a breath, and one of his arms was raised, and his index finger pointed into the night sky, "And you are different! The trial resources you have experienced after the age of ten are far from being comparable to that woman." Do you remember our lives back then?"
Qian Hao threw the question like a ball, but he didn't wait for Shen Jun to catch it, but he chose to answer by himself, "At that time, your family was bankrupt, and ......it can be regarded as a family in the middle of the road! You should be clear too!"
"The adopted family is cold, and there are those who don't have a meal!" Shen Jun quickly took over the words.
The two of them were children who were really like nightmares that always broke their nerves.
"That's right! That's the miserable scene!" Qian Hao smiled bitterly, "At that time, don't say anything about trial resources, even a full meal was almost a luxury......! It's really hard!"
"Well, it's so hard!" Shen Jun's gaze froze, and the end was cast on the wall next to him, as if he was enchanted.
"It's in this miserable environment that you...... Shen Jun!" Qian Hao looked at Shen Jun firmly, "Still through hard training, I got the opportunity to be a junior swordsman." Later, you will be out of control and learn things that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve. In this way, at the age of twenty-eight, you have acquired the professional ability of a high-level swordsman, and as a result, you have become a swordsman instructor in this town. Shen Jun: Your efforts are admired by everyone, and you are a person who has to work hard and improve more than anyone else!"
Listening to Qian Hao's words, Shen Jun lowered his head helplessly, "Ha! I said Qian Hao......! I'm a little embarrassed!" he tipped his finger to the place under his nose.
"Don't be embarrassed! you have the right to live up to my compliment. Because you're a truly powerful swordsman!" Qian Hao took a step forward, "Just like I said before. The resources of the trials you have received are completely different from that of that woman. But in the end, you've all achieved the same thing! That's why I think you're even better!"
As soon as Qian Hao told this, Shen Jun's facial expression also changed slightly. He looked a little melancholy, probably because he was sad about the hardships he had suffered!
"Qian Hao! We used to live a very hard life! At that time, don't say any trials, it was difficult to even eat a full meal!"
Qian Hao sighed, "Yes, but we all survived! I, Qian Hao, never believed in fate." I've always thought that happiness is made by yourself!"
"Oh! that's probably the reason why you like to go out!" Shen Jun deliberately glanced at Qian Hao.
Qian Hao did not deny this, he frankly admitted it, "Yes! You can encounter many things that have not been encountered in the town outside! This is very useful for the accumulation of experience in the future!"
"Yes, very useful!sigh!" Shen Jun took a deep breath, he looked down at his toes, "Actually, I admire you a lot." Surviving in such a harsh environment since childhood, you can become a high-level archer as a result!"
Seeing that the topic was suddenly led to him, Qian Hao was a little uncomfortable. A breath of air blocked his chest, causing him to have some difficulty breathing, "What do you say...... Why did it suddenly come to me?"
Shen Jun quickly stroked his head, "This is also my inner thought, I don't mean to brag about you! What I want to say is very clear, that is, you Qian Hao is also a person who can only be admired!"
Qian Hao straightened his body, and he seemed to be accepting Shen Jun's praise.
"It's also a matter of pride that you can be a high-level archer! But you never gave up. You still rely on your own efforts to become a useful talent! I admire you as much as Shen Jun!"
"Are you repaying the compliment I just gave you?"
"Well, part of the reason is this! However, it is more that I, Shen Jun, admire you! You are a good person!" Shen Jun said very, very seriously.
And as Shen Jun's words continued, Qian Hao couldn't help but nod. Even, at the moment when Shen Jun's words fell, Qian Hao walked directly towards Shen Jun. Then, there was the scene of the two embracing each other passionately.
"Good brother!"
"Good brother!"
They patted each other on the back, and the two of them immediately separated. At the moment, the expressions on their faces are a little sad.
"This time flies so fast! In the blink of an eye, we are all about to enter the thirtieth mark!" Shen Jun's expression was slightly intoxicated, "I think back then, we were all teenagers!"
"What's wrong, so sad and nostalgic for the past?" Qian Hao grinned.
"Can you not be sad? In the past, there were still ambitious people! But now! I just want to be a swordsman instructor in the trial ground and go to the gangsters!" Shen Jun made a gesture of carrying the sword on his shoulder, saying that he did not have a sword in his hand, but the posture of holding the sword was so realistic.
"It's not too late to continue to live out your dreams!"
"It's late! It's almost thirty!"
"Hey, what's the matter with you, at the age of twenty-six or seventeen, how can you pass through your mouth and become the kind of person who has entered the age of antiquity!"
"Alas, Qian Hao! You don't know this! As long as a man has a family, he will instantly feel that he has become a lot older!" Shen Jun kept rubbing his eyes and making sleepy movements while saying this.
"Hey, are you mocking me for not having a family?" or are you deliberately showing off your family happiness?" Qian Hao smiled hippiely.
"Oh! this is all for you Qian Hao to see!" Shen Jun shook his hand and snickered.
Now, the joyful atmosphere returned to the two of them, and they were no longer preoccupied. Laughter and happiness reignited in their hearts, and they had almost forgotten the unhappiness they had just had.
"Hey, what are you doing standing here?" Qian Hao shrunk his neck and looked around tightly.
"Didn't you stop at first?"
"Oh, I stopped first?"
"Qian Hao, you are still the same as before, you like to cheat!"
"Oh, oh! So...... Aren't you going now?" Qian Hao immediately made a gesture to move forward.
Seeing this, Shen Jun raised his pace first. Then, Qian Hao followed closely beside him.
So, the two began to wander again in the same way as before.
"Alas, sometimes think about it!" Qian Hao thought about it as he walked, "My dream has never stopped! I have always hoped that I can make a contribution, so that those who once looked down on me can see what success is!" At the end of the words, Qian Hao's two hands were clenched into fists. He also lifted one of them together, as if he were doing some weightlifting motion.
"Then I hope you can succeed!!" Shen Jun replied in a low voice.
"Yes, I also hope that I can succeed!" Qian Hao took a deep breath, "That's why I deliberately approached that woman!"
'Woman' is Shen Mengting's pronoun, and Qian Hao seems to have become accustomed to using the word 'woman' in his communication with Shen Jun.
Shen Jun said 'oh' for a long time when he heard this, "I thought you had some intentions for that woman! I thought about how your taste became more and more unique after not seeing her for many years!"
Inspired by Shen Jun's words, Qian Hao became coughing repeatedly, "Cough...... Cough...... Ahem......" he covered his mouth in a panic.
"Originally, I thought you had taken a fancy to that little doctor girl! But ah! Think about it! Although you Qian Hao only pretends to be a woman in his heart, he is not the kind of person who will go to the trouble for a woman!"
"Ahem...... Cough...... Cough...... All right...... Good...... Cough...... Cough...... Don't talk about women, okay?" Qian Hao's tone seemed to be mixed with a little pleading, "I'm talking to you about dreams now!"
"Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes!"
Qian Hao glanced at Shen Jun angrily. But when he continued to speak, he still regained his calm appearance, "You also know the identity of that woman!"
Without waiting for Shen Jun to respond, or almost certain Shen Jun's next reaction, Qian Hao answered directly, "She is the chief swordsman of our Saran Kingdom, the daughter of Shen Haiteng! Of course, her identity is not only this, she has contact with many dignitaries and nobles in Qingse City. If I can make this big tree, it will be very helpful for me to climb up in the future!"
Hearing this, Shen Jun couldn't help but fall into deep thought. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his head moved instinctively. Soon, a few vague words came out of his mouth, "That's right!"
"So, why do you think I have to put up with her temper tantrums!" Qian Hao took a few breaths, "It's not for the rest of my life!"
Shen Jun's eyes when he looked at Qian Hao changed, and the complexity was completely unclear. However, for the admiration that Qian Hao once had, Shen Jun would not weaken no matter what.
"Shen Jun! We are brothers! With a big tree to enjoy the shade, not only do I want to enjoy the shade, but you should also enjoy the same treatment! This is the reason why I want to introduce you to her!
"It's useless for you to say this now! Besides, there are some things that you can't force on!"
"That's right, but......" Qian Hao suddenly put his hands behind his back, and he rushed straight forward, and his steps were unconsciously increasing.
"Hey, Qian Hao, why did you suddenly speed up?"
Let Shen Jun shout behind him, but Qian Hao just didn't slow down, "Shen Jun! You know what? I have always had a dream in my heart!"
"Your dream is to make a career, you don't want to be a mediocre person!
"But it's just a conceptual idea! How to implement it! It hurts my head to think about it!"
"Oh?" Shen Jun also sped up his speed when he heard this, "How do you implement it?"
Qian Hao's eyes were always looking straight ahead, "This is going to be seen! I want to hug that woman's thighs tightly." Then, from her body, she will slowly come into contact with dignitaries! I want to climb to a level that ordinary people can't reach, and I want to make a name for myself!"
"I really hope you succeed!"
"It will definitely succeed!" Qian Hao seemed to become a little excited, and he pointed ahead in passing, "Look! Isn't there an opportunity in front of you?" he laughed hideously, "Right now, there will be a country about to invade us." At a time when the motherland is in danger, I, Qian Hao, must stand up. If you can't repel the enemy, then it's a big deal and you'll die! But if you succeed, then I'm a rich man! When the time comes, there will be glory and wealth waiting for me!"
The more Qian Hao thought about it, the more excited he became. About another crossroads, he suddenly stopped. Turning around, he looked at Shen Jun, who was still thinking deeply.
"Shen Jun! People always have to die in the world, so it's better to gamble in a limited time. If you lose the bet, it's a dead word. But if you win......"
Qian Hao didn't go on after that, but Shen Jun knew the meaning very well.
"Of course, I know where you stand! You are not like me, you are a lonely person. You have your concerns, so I don't force it. But...... I, Qian Hao, really hope that you can come and accompany me! The matter of fighting against foreign enemies is really very stressful. I need someone I can trust to support me. Besides, you have such a strong ability, it would be a pity if you abandoned the testing ground in this town!"
For a while, Shen Jun didn't know how to reply, he just stood silently.
After staring at Shen Jun for a while, Qian Hao finally put away his gaze, "En! Then be it!"
"Qian Hao!"
"Alright! I've said what I need to say! I won't bother you here!"
"Hey, you're not coming to my house?"
"Hah! Next time! I'm going back to the hotel to rest now!" Qian Hao said and was about to leave, his feet touching the ground were pacing in small steps.
Shen Jun was silent at this moment, and he did not continue to dissuade Qian Hao from being a guest at home.
"Okay! That's it, I've told you anyway. If you would like to join us, please come to the door of the hotel tomorrow morning. We're on our way!"
Even though Qian Hao was talking endlessly, Shen Jun continued to be silent.
"Yes, yes! So...... I'm leaving!" Qian Hao nodded at Shen Jun.
Shen Jun also immediately beckoned to him.
"Well, I'm leaving, I'm leaving!" Qian Hao kept shaking his body, and he slowly stepped back. Perhaps, how much he wished Shen Jun would give him an answer now! However, Shen Jun just stood dumbfounded.
But just as Qian Hao turned around and was about to leave in stride, Shen Jun's roar forced him to stop.
"Hey, Qian Hao, we'll always be brothers, right?"
Qian Hao was shocked at first. After a long time, he pursed his lips and smiled, "Yes! We will always be brothers!"
Then, under each other's smiles, they slowly separated.
Seeing Qian Hao's departure, Shen Jun didn't feel a good feeling in his heart. He also knew what Qian Hao was here for today. However, as Qian Hao said, concern made Shen Jun dare not act rashly at all.
So, Shen Jun also began to step on the road. The direction he is heading towards is his own home.
On the way, he also thought of some interesting stories with Qian Hao. Qian Hao once said when he was a child that the world is very unfair. Some people are born with a golden key, while others come into the world with nothing. If you want to become a master, you have to work hard. Then, let your child become a person who can be born with a golden key.
Shen Jun couldn't help but snicker when he thought of this. Didn't he think that when he worked so hard outside the home, it was just to give his wife and daughter a good life? Although he could not make his children rich, he could still ensure the necessary food and clothing. But if he continues to climb upwards and ends up in pieces, won't he even lose the ability to ensure the food and clothing of his wife and daughter?
Shen Jun's heart suddenly tightened, and he was full of resistance to Qian Hao's recruitment.
Then, before he knew it, he found himself at the door.
