Chapter 28: A sense of déjà vu
Zha Hongliang made sense, but in fact, he never thought of asking those powerful people to help. But he at least wanted a promise. He believed that as long as the powerful people 'opened their mouths', there would be an incentive to investigate.
Won't the truth be easy to come by?
Zha Hongliang looked at the two coaches seriously, and their hearts seemed to be really shaking. Especially Coach Li Yuan, he seems to be still thinking about this.
"Coach, you should agree with me, right?"
"This ......" Yu Jianshu lowered his eyebrows, and his face soon showed a trace of sadness.
"It seems like a good suggestion, it's just ......" Li Yuan interjected, but the style he showed did not have any confidence.
"Just what? Coach!"
Li Yuan glanced at Zha Hongliang for a while, "I can understand what you said." But at present, in the presence of so many people, they rashly mention something that has not been discussed. Is this ......"
"That's right! If we go directly to those generals, wouldn't that be overstepping? You must know that those people are high-minded! If we really have something to talk about, we should discuss it with the mayor, and then the mayor will come forward to talk about it!"
Regarding Yu Jianshu's remarks, Coach Li Yuan also nodded in deep agreement.
"Ahh
But the two coaches showed embarrassed expressions at this moment, and they didn't mean to turn around and go into the house to find the mayor.
"Huh, what's wrong?"
"Ahh......h The mayor is busy inside!I guess he doesn't have time to listen to what we have to say!" Li Yuan tightened his lips after speaking.
"Ahh
"Don't get excited, okay?" Li Yuan tried to make a persuasion move, his two arms were constantly pressing down, "I don't think this matter can be talked about in a hurry now! There are too many people in the house now, and if you are not careful, you may poke a basket." So we should be cautious!"
"What is the need for caution? Now is the best chance! You will be there just now, and the generals will be gone in the evening. If you don't talk about it now, when will it be?"
"Hey, you're starting to get excited again, you have to be calmer!" Yu Jianshu hurriedly put his hands on Zha Hongliang's arms.
"But how do you tell me to calm down?" Zha Hongliang shook off his outstretched hand directly, "It seems that you are still scrupling about something?"
"Of course we have to be careful about something! Now that so many generals are here, and our every move is also representative of Vortex Town, how can we do anything without thinking about it?"
"Helping to find someone is a no-brainer? Hah! That's probably the funniest joke I've ever heard!"
"Ah, don't be unreasonable to Coach Yu Jianshu, he is kind enough to persuade you!" Li Yuan's nasal voice was very heavy, which was caused by excitement.
"Yes, let's listen to the coach first, let's take this matter slowly! As long as those generals remain at the border, we will always have a chance to find them!" Liang Chaowei also reminded him in a low voice.
"Hmph! How many opportunities are there! When those generals go back, they will all be concentrating on how to deal with the enemy, so how can they have time to take care of us?"
"But at this moment, it's really out of place. ”
"What's out of place! I think you just don't want to bother with this anymore! In that case, you don't need to bother the two coaches, I'll go inside and talk to those high-ranking officials myself!"
As he spoke, Zha Hongliang was about to rush to the house.
"Hey!Ahh
In this way, Zha Hongliang impulsively ran into the house.
"Ahh
"Hey, wait......"
When Zha Hongliang stepped into the house, he was suddenly shocked by the commotion inside. For a moment, the sense of impulsiveness seemed to have been cut in half, and all that was left was fear. He stopped abruptly, a little unsure of what to do.
This...... This...... Zha Hongliang's lips trembled slightly. But in the end, the desire to help his best friend still had a slight advantage. He began to search the surroundings, hoping to find the high-ranking generals.
Soon, among the many tables, he found a very special and most conspicuous table. He could be sure that the people at that table could be marked as powerful figures.
In fact, the reason is very simple, because the round table is different from the others, it is simply an island suspended overseas. Of course, there was another, more important reason, that the mayor of the town and many of the famous Vortex officials were all sitting at that table.
'Okay!' This is the table!' moved his mouth slightly, and Zha Hongliang was about to move his legs.
"Hey, wait!Zha Hongliang!stop!" Coach Li Yuan's voice came from behind. Because he may be afraid of attracting the attention of others, the voice he makes is still relatively quiet.
But Zha Hongliang didn't care about the shouts of others, and he took a big step forward firmly.
But something unexpected happened, as soon as Zha Hongliang's front foot stepped out, and then pressed on the ground again, someone on the table suddenly stood up.
She seems to be a woman, but she's unusually tall, almost as tall as an adult male.
The woman's sudden rise seemed to startle the mayor. The old man also quickly stood up.
It is from this point of view that Zha Hongliang is more convinced that the woman is the 'powerful' he is looking for.
It's just that......
Zha Hongliang suddenly had some different thoughts in his heart. First of all, didn't you just say that the generals were coming, and why did a woman get involved? Also, the woman seems to have seen it somewhere, and that strong face makes people feel familiar, as if it is déjà vu.
"This ......"
It was at such a moment of hesitation that Li Yuan in the rear and the others caught up.
"Zha Hongliang, don't mess around!" Li Yuan hurriedly locked Zha Hongliang's whole body with one hand, and wanted to take him away directly.
However, Zha Hongliang unexpectedly twisted his head back, "Coach, who is this?" All he wanted to ask was the identity of the woman who had already stood up.
"Huh?" Coach Li Yuan also followed Zha Hongliang's line of sight and looked at the woman who was about to walk to the center of the backyard, "Oh! You said her! She is the generalissimo of our country!"
"Ah, what, marshal?" Zha Hongliang showed an incredulous expression, "This woman?"
"What, a female marshal?" Liang Chaowei was also puzzled.
"Okay, don't care if they're women! You can go back to me now!" Li Yuan said and was about to drag Zha Hongliang outside.
Even if Zha Hongliang was unwilling, he couldn't help the pull of a coach, and he would soon be pulled to the door.
The woman...... The woman......
The body was being pulled uncontrollably, but the eyes were always looking at the woman. Zha Hongliang now felt more and more that he had indeed seen the woman somewhere, but when and where it was, he could hardly remember.
'Who the hell is she?' Generalissimo? but...... Why did I feel like I had seen that face......? Who the hell is she...... Who?'
Zha Hongliang is trying to recall the scenes of his face-to-face with women. Suddenly, as if a flash of inspiration hit her head, she ...... Yes...... She ......"
finally remembered the woman's face, but Zha Hongliang didn't feel a sudden feeling. On the contrary, his expression became more stunned, as if he knew something very serious.
"Alright, you go back for me first. As for the things to mention to the generals, I promise you, I will definitely talk to the mayor in person!" Li Yuan hoped to reassure Zha Hongliang about this, but his strength to drag others did not relax a little.
"This swordsman classmate, I also promise you, I will follow your Coach Li Yuan to find the mayor of the town! I promise you!" Yu Jianshu also kept dissuading.
"Yes, ah, don't mess around anymore, we'll talk about this matter!" Liang Chaowei actually began to persuade, and he also took advantage of the situation to block his body in front of Zha Hongliang, just to stop attracting attention.
"No! No, you listen to me......" Zha Hongliang saw that he was about to be dragged to the door, "she ...... She...... No, no, listen to me, listen to me! Wait...... Ah......" he finally half-freed from the outsider's pull, "wait! I've seen the woman, I've seen her!"
Li Yuan and the others hadn't reacted at first, but after squinting their eyes slightly, they all looked at the female marshal, "What? Who have you seen? Which woman?"
"She! it's her!" Zha Hongliang pointed to the female marshal excitedly, "I've seen her!"
"Huh? What? you...... Have you seen her? ...... you?"
"Yes, I've just seen her! She's the one who came to the trial ground to find Zhao Yu that day, and she also fought against those people who pretended to be the garden survey team. It's this woman, I know her turning to ashes!" Zha Hongliang stomped on the ground a few times.
She ...... She ......" Coach Li Yuan gave up dragging the action, and he hurriedly turned to Zha Hongliang in a questioning tone, "What the hell is going on?"
"I've already said it! It's this woman! She has been to our town before, and she has come to the door of the trial ground to find Zhao Yu. I remember very clearly, if you don't believe it, you can ask Liang Chaowei!"
After checking Hongliang's sudden place, Liang Chaowei also seemed to remember something, "Oh! I was told like this by you! It seems to be ...... It seems to be really her!" Liang Chaowei's neck was a little crooked, and he was really trying to remember.
"What?" Li Yuan looked at Yu Jianshu next to him, "Okay! What's going on?
Under the instruction of Coach Li Yuan, Zha Hongliang told everything he thought about. He could almost confirm that the tall female marshal was the one who came to look for Zhao Yu that day and finally took him away.
Considering that Zhao Yu disappeared inexplicably in the future, does this have a lot to do with that female marshal?
Li Yuan's breathing kept speeding up after hearing this, "This...... Is this impossible? Are you sure? This woman took Zhao Yu away!"
"It can be confirmed! Not only me and Liang Chaowei, but also other people in the Swordsman Department can testify!" Zha Hongliang was almost playing a package ticket, and it seemed that he had only beaten his chest and did not make it.
"This ...... This ......" Li Yuan's body retreated, and he looked at the female marshal who was already standing in the middle of the backyard in surprise, "She...... You say...... How is this possible!"
"Li Yuan!" Yu Jianshu immediately came face to face with him, "I think this matter is not trivial! We should go to the town mayor as soon as possible and tell him about this matter completely." ”
"Ahh......h
"This matter has obviously reached the point where we can't control it, and we must inform the mayor as soon as possible!" Yu Jianshu's current expression was extremely serious, and his eyebrows were as tight as a hill.
Li Yuan also nodded quickly at the moment when he was holding his breath, "Yes!
"Coach Li Yuan......!
"Alright, you better go back first, and we'll tell the mayor about this as soon as possible!"
"No! I'll go with you!"
"What are you going to do together, are you going to make trouble?" Yu Jianshu gave a more severe criticism.
"No! only if we go, after all, we are the parties and know all the conditions!" Zha Hongliang didn't forget to talk to Liang Chaowei next to him after finishing speaking.
"yes!
"But ......"
"They are right! They all know the situation at that time! But I have one thing to warn you, this matter is estimated to be very important, and when you get to the mayor, you should not talk nonsense!" Li Yuan said to the two swordsman students.
"Got it!" Zha Hongliang naturally made a guarantee.
"Then......" Li Yuan looked in the direction of the mayor, "If you really want to say something to the mayor, you must also drag him to a place where there is no one!
Li Yuan was already beginning to think about how to speak to the mayor, but before he could finish sketching out the idea, a loud female voice was almost encompassing the entire backyard.
"Everyone, be quiet, can you take some time to listen to some of my words?" the female voice said as if asking, but her tone was an affirmative tone that could not be protested.
As a result, the surrounding scene seemed to fall silent, and most people stopped talking, including those who were toasting the most.
"Ah, what the Generalissimo wants to give to the people, you can say it as you please!" said the old mayor, who had already stood up, and hurried to the woman's side. After deliberately keeping a little distance from him, the mayor of the town also turned his body towards the surrounding three hundred and six corners, "What does our generalissimo want to tell you now, do you want to hear it?"
There was a brief silence at first, but after a second or two, a quick-witted man jumped out. He first stood up straight, and then clearly revealed a word, "I want to!"
Everyone can see that the 'clever ghost' who jumped out is actually the secretary of the old mayor.
"Since we all want to hear it, then let's ask the Generalissimo to tell us something!" the old mayor said with his hand in a courteous gesture.
Then the female marshal was unceremoniously ready to tell something. But before that, she cleared her throat first, and closed her eyes slightly.
Her action indicates that the preparations have been completed, and the next step should be to announce something great!
Sure enough, after reopening her eyes, the female marshal also looked around sharply, "Okay! I'll tell you something!"
There was a close silence in the courtyard, and most of them had even returned to their seats. The Generalissimo of the country spoke, who would dare to continue shouting loudly without giving face!
Seeing that everyone was in place, the female marshal raised her voice, "First of all, I really want to thank everyone in Vortex Town. To be honest, I never thought that you would come to a banquet to welcome me and my colleagues!" She seemed to pause deliberately, and she immediately followed the words afterward, "So your enthusiasm really touched us!"
The marshal quickly pursed her lips and raised her head slightly, her current appearance was a reminder to everyone here how excited she was now. Correspondingly, her words were interrupted again, and she did not continue to speak.
This time it was also her intention, in order to leave time for everyone who listened to the words to think.
A few of them were quite clever, and after shaking their eyes a few times, they immediately clapped their hands. In the beginning, there were only a few sporadic clappings. But as the number of participants increased, the clapping soon became filled with every corner, and it was unusually in unison, like a symphony.
The clapping continued for a while, until the marshal raised her hand. She raised her hand to indicate that she was about to speak again, and most of them stopped clapping their hands as if they were holding it.
"Thank you so much! I am grateful for your enthusiasm and it has increased my confidence. Though...... Although the current situation is still in a very dangerous situation, I, Shen Mengting, am here to assure you that as long as I still have a breath of air, I will definitely defend everyone to the end!"
It was at this moment that not only Zha Hongliang, but also Li Yuan and everyone here finally knew their marshal's name, Shen Mengting!
