Chapter 227 is about to detonate
"Who did this?"
Tubuya had a spring expression on his face, but when he glanced down at the red carpet, he suddenly covered himself with a layer of gloom and asked in surprise. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Alyssa was surprised to see that this was not Tubua's intention. After her eyes scanned the crowd, she pointed to Vanu who was close at hand: "It's him!" β
Vanu was ready to deal with Tubua. So before he took his seat, he deliberately kept himself close to Tubua. When he noticed that Alyssa was pointing her delicate finger at the door of his head, he approached Tubuya.
Tubua glanced at him and said with some anger, "Vanu, what's going on?" Who gave you permission to do that? β
Vanu was not in a hurry, and said with a smile on his face: "You calm your anger first, please listen to me slowly say to you first..."
"Hmm!"
Tubuya didn't want to be angry on this festive day of his own, so he nodded patiently and said, "Then please give me a full explanation, right?" β
Vanu still smiled and said, "I feel very honored to be promoted by you this year. I've been even more excited to be eligible to be part of your birthday party. So I want to do my best to help you do more and do good. β
Tubuya's face softened: "I understand your feelings." But you can't do it without my permission, can you? β
Vanu hurriedly quibbled, "I felt very honored when I had the privilege of entering this tent for the first time. And when I look at such a luxurious floor, I'm afraid that I'll step on it... But I know that during your birthday party today, there will be a traditional dance for you. One of the dances is performed by the performer to rhythmically tap the ground with a very thick wooden pole. I know that the flooring here is imported from Europe. It is also rare in the whole of Gana. I'm worried that such a gorgeous floor will be accidentally damaged by the direct hitting of the wooden poles..."
When Vanu said this, Tubua's expression continued to improve, and he interrupted, "So you're thinking about laying a carpet on top of it in advance for me?" β
Vanu said with a little excitement at this time: "I won't tell you anything, I have my own selfish intentions. Did you know that I bought these red carpets in Gara City at my own expense to decorate my residence. But I'm laying it here for a day today, just to make it a little more joyful. β
Tubuya wondered, "What do you mean by that?" β
Vanu's eyes lit up and he said, "I know that the guests who have come here to celebrate you today are all the highest-ranking people of the Ge Xi people, and of course, the high-ranking generals of our armed forces. What's more, there's also the fact that you are stepping on it. When this birthday party is over, I will immediately take it back and lay it in my residence..."
"Hahaha!"
When Tubuya heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Vanu, you really have an idea, when this carpet has gone through the 'footprints' of our people, you will feel proud, right?" β
Vanu continued to laugh again, and said with sincere trepidation, "That's what I meant. But without your consent... It's also a lot of trepidation..."
Tubuya didn't mind at all, but patted Vanu on the shoulder: "Vanu, you are very good at doing things. I really didn't misunderstand you at the beginning, and I will continue to work hard in the future. I promise you have a bright future. β
Vanu used this nonsense to deceive Tubuya's trust, feeling very proud, but on the surface he was grateful to Tubuya to show his loyalty.
Qian Chong and Shen Junru also took the initiative to approach Tubuya's side. When Qian Chong listened to Shen Junru's whispered translation of the conversation between Tubuya and Vanu, his nostrils couldn't help but snort: "It turns out that this guy who almost killed us all is called Vanu!" β
However, he felt that Tubuya was completely carried away by Vanu's confession. With Vanu's dwelling, where is the need for such a large area of carpet? Today's Tubuya is really a fan of the authorities.
After Tubuya calmed Vanu, he noticed Qian Chong and Shen Junru approaching. He immediately greeted Qian Chong with a smile on his face...
"Mr. Qian is still used to me, right?"
Tubuya was full of spring breeze, and with a smug smile, he took the initiative to greet Qian Chong.
After Qian Chong listened to Shen Junru's translation, he first preached to Shen Junru: "Baby, every word I want to say to him, you have to translate it to him word for word." Can you do it? β
Shen Junru thought that Qian Chong was going to inform Tubuya about the time bomb, so he quickly nodded and said, "Don't worry." I promise to do it! β
However, Shen Junru looked at Vanu who was not far away and the other guests who were greeting each other around him, so he suggested: "Qian Chong, let's ask Tubuya to talk to a secluded place, right?" β
Unexpectedly, Qian Chong shook his head: "I'll talk to him in public, and you have to translate it aloud to him." β
As soon as Tubuya saw his words, he caused this Chinese lover to mutter, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What do you mean?" β
Although Shen Junru was very puzzled by Qian Chong's actions, when she heard Tu Buya's question, she had no choice but to reply: "Mr. Qian Chong wants to talk to you. β
"Oh?"
Tubuya was a little surprised when he saw Qian Chong's solemn appearance, but he still nodded: "Mr. Qian, please speak." β
Qian Chong said loudly at this time: "Mr. Tubua, you said that as long as I join your organization alone, why did you bring my women in? β
Shen Junru didn't expect Qian Chong to say this, and felt extremely surprised. However, she thought of what Qian Chong had just confessed, so she still translated Qian Chong's original words to Tubuya.
Tubuya's expression was slightly embarrassed, but he looked at Shen Junru, who was also a little embarrassed, and couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Qian's words are wrong. It wasn't me who forced this beautiful lady to do so, it was she who asked to be with you. It can be seen that you are not only willing to sacrifice your life for her, but she also has true feelings for you! Besides, what's so bad about that? She understands our language, accompanies you and speaks to you. It also makes it easier for us to communicate. β
Shen Junru's face turned a little red, and with a little shyness, she translated Tubuya's words to Qian Chong...
At this time, everyone was now quiet, and all eyes were focused on the three of them.
Qian Chong's purpose was obviously to create a momentum, and he said loudly: "Please Mr. Tubuya believe me, as long as I agree to join your command." I won't be half-hearted with you. I can even sacrifice my own life for you. However, my woman is not allowed to join your organization. She agrees to stay, but if she wants to leave one day, don't embarrass her. β
Shen Junru really didn't understand why Qian Chong said this, but since he had agreed to Qian Chong's request, he had to translate Qian Chong's original words to Tubuya again...
After Tubuya listened to Qian Chong's words, the muscles in his face couldn't help jumping. However, although he was disgusted with Qian Chong's words, he didn't want to make trouble on this special day, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Qian, please rest assured." If this young lady doesn't want to join, I won't force it. But it's nice that she's here as your family. Our tribe will treat her as if she were a guest of honor. Actually, not only her, but also your compatriots, I will treat them well. On this day, I have already given an account to my subordinates, and I have treated them with good wine and food. β
After Qian Chong listened to Shen Junru's translation, he bowed his hand to Tubuya and smiled indifferently: "Thank you!" Now that we've made commitments to each other, I'm not going to delay you any longer. β
Shen Junru was stunned for a moment: Why didn't Qian Chong tell Tubuya the news of the imminent explosion here immediately? What exactly is he going to do?
Just as she was in shock, Tubuya had already beckoned the guests to take their seats...
The first guests who came in with him were the leaders of his militants. There were also several guides at the scene, and according to the identities of these leaders, they were arranged in order to take their seats on the left.
Qian Chong had already observed the seating layout here. There are not many seats in front of the tent. The seat in the center is, of course, from Tubua. And Alyssa sat beside him, and his left and right heads were the four King Kongs under his command. There are more than twenty seats on the left and right sides, which almost extend to the entrance of the large tent. Qian Chong and Shen Junru were placed in the middle of the other leaders on the left, more than twenty meters away from Tubuya's seat, but only two people away from Vanu. He could keep an eye on Vanu at all times.
However, the twenty-odd seats on the right were empty. After helping Alyssa to sit down next to her seat, Tubuya did not rush to sit down, but walked to the entrance of the tent, which seemed to be bustling outside. The elders of the Gol tribe are entering in order...
Although Tubuya is a big leader, in front of those elders, he can be regarded as a junior. Therefore, he personally shook hands at the door of the big tent.
The elders shook hands with Tubuya, and after a few pleasantries, they were placed in the right seats one by one by the guide behind Tubuya.
Qian Chong knew that this ceremony would take some time, and he looked at the wall clock on the wall behind the seat in Tubua, which was less than twenty minutes before the birthday party began at noon 12.
Although the feast in Tubuya had not yet begun, the small square in front of the tent was already full of people, all of whom were local residents, men, women and children. Many of them were dressed up and holding a lot of musical instruments. It turned out that during the feast in Tubua, they would go in order to bless and sing and dance for Tubua. Less than 50 meters from the tent is a row of wooden houses with many chefs busy. They had prepared a delicious meal before the feast had even begun. Outside the row of wooden houses, a row of local maidens stood neatly. They were temporarily requisitioned as hostesses, waiting for the banquet ceremony to begin, and then they served food to the big tent.
However, before they were ready to cope with this gluttonous feast, they first took out some wine and food to send some special guests here~ that is, those tourists who were detained.
Tubua's indication of the money flush was not a verbal check. On his big day today, he really ordered his subordinates to benefit those special guests in his territory. When the militants packed the food and drinks in several vessels and brought them into the storeroom, the aroma of them immediately permeated the entire storeroom.
Those tourists have not eaten meat and fishy things for a few days, and they are immediately attracted by these fragrant wine and food. And they all stepped forward to serve the meal with the utensils brought by the militants at the same time. Those men who usually have two sips will naturally not let go of the wine sent over. The black-faced man naturally bore the brunt of the attack.
With a bowl in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other, he went to the place where the bearded man lived, intending to take a few sips with this friend in distress. Indeed, they played a mainstay role for the safety and stability of this tour group, and at the same time developed a sympathetic friendship.
However, the tall woman who had been accompanying the bearded man resolutely prevented him from accepting the black-faced man's invitation because the wound on his body had not healed.
Lian Maobeard finally apologized helplessly to the black-faced man: "It's not convenient for me to drink at the moment, so you should drink it yourself." When we return home, my injuries will be completely healed. I'll invite you to drink it! β
The black-faced man didn't know the situation of the tall woman, but when he saw the hairy bearded man duel with the militants for her, and the tall woman was so considerate of the hairy bearded man, he felt that they had developed into a couple, so he laughed and said, "Okay, let's make a decision." When the time comes, I may be drinking your favorite wine! β
Even the hairy bearded man was stunned for a moment, and then generously said: "No problem! I will try my best to solve my own personal affairs, and when the time comes, you will not be able to enjoy the wine. β
Lian Maozi actually refers to himself and Wang Lijun, but the middle-aged man not far from him heard it and mistakenly thought that the sudden love affair between Lian Maobeard and a tall woman had developed to a certain stage, and he couldn't help but feel remorseful.
Although he had also eaten just now, it was difficult to swallow because of the blockage in his heart.
At this moment, the man in yellow, who had always been enthusiastic about him, also approached him with a bottle of wine, and asked tentatively, "Why doesn't Mr. Wang eat, can you accompany me for a few sips?" β
The middle-aged man was feeling depressed, and as soon as he saw that the man in yellow took the initiative to show his goodwill, he immediately said cheerfully: "Okay, let's get drunk and rest!" β
So the two of them got together and ate and drank...
Everyone else has been fed, but there is only one person who is indifferent. He was the groom who kept his head down.
Because Qian Chong and the others were not here, Tilis took on the responsibility of protecting everyone. When she saw that the bridegroom had been depressed, she went over to comfort her, but the groom did not even raise his head, and simply turned a deaf ear to Tillise's persuasion.
Tilis had no choice but to mobilize the bride again: "Little sister, your husband has not eaten or drunk for several days. If this continues, how can it be good? You'd better persuade him personally, right? He made it this way because he blamed himself for not standing up to protect you in the first place... Don't you have a saying in China that you must tie the bell to the bell? β
In fact, the bride has been secretly keeping an eye on the groom. When she saw the groom's appearance, she felt uncomfortable. When he recalls his care for himself in the past, his heart is even more uncomfortable.
When Tilis begged for her head, she hesitated for a moment, and finally stood up. She first used a large rice bowl to fill the bowl full of food in front of the utensils, and summoned up the courage to deliver it to the bridegroom.
The groom sensed that it was her and finally raised his head, but he was silent in the face of his bride.
The bride stared at him coldly for a while before she asked angrily, "Daoming, who are you going on a hunger strike like this?" β
The groom's mosquito-like voice murmured: "Xiaowan... I'm sorry for you..."
"Humph! You can be sorry for me. But can you be worthy of your parents if you spoil yourself like this? You also said that you are the only seedling in your family! β
When the bridegroom heard this, he said no more, and bowed his head again.
The bride reprimanded again: "Daoming, I despise men who dare not face reality the most, and I don't want you to choose to escape when you encounter something." If you're a man, you have to cheer up, and don't make me look down on you again! β
After the bride reprimanded the bridegroom, she turned around and walked away. The groom raised his head again, looked at the back of the bride, and then looked at the bowl of food in front of him, and couldn't help but think a little.
Let's talk about the scene of the birthday party in Tubua.
Tubuya had invited the elders of the clansmen of high prestige and status into the big tent. He returned to his seat.
It was only a few minutes before 12 noon. Before the banquet officially began, a middle-aged man dressed as a local was about to speak something in the local language. Even Shen Junru couldn't understand what he said. But it can be seen that he is the host of this banquet and is speaking the opening remarks in their native language.
Shen Junru couldn't hold her breath a little, and couldn't help but ask Qian Chong in a low voice: "When can that thing explode?" You haven't reported to Tubuya in time, what are you waiting for? β
Qian Chong's eyes kept wandering between the wall clock on the wall behind Tubuya and Vanu not far away...
His expression was also full of tension and solemnity, but he was able to calm his breath and not move.
When Shen Junru urged him again, he finally said to Shen Junru: "Xiaoru, you have to listen well. Afterwards, tell Tubuya about the bomb that the guy named Vanu had planted. We found a wooden box by accident. But that thing had been on a station wagon, and shortly after it was abandoned, it exploded. So I might have suddenly thought that it might be a ticking time bomb. β
Shen Junru was surprised and said, "I'll tell Tubuya." But what does it mean to be 'after the fact'? β
Qian Chong remembered something at this time, and did not answer Shen Junru, but asked rhetorically: "Tell me the English name of 'bomb'?" β
βTimeBOMB!β
Although Shen Junru didn't understand what Qian Chong meant, she still blurted out.
At this time, it was less than a minute before 12 noon. The host didn't know what to say, and all the guests, including Tubua, stood up.
Shen Junru understood that when 12 o'clock arrived, all the guests would send their blessings to Tubuya in unison. She didn't have time to wait for Qian Chong to answer her question, so she also stood up...
But at this moment, the Vanu suddenly left his seat and quietly walked out...
Since it was inevitable that someone would go out during the banquet for 'convenience', the guard at the door would naturally not stop him, even at the most solemn moment. And all the guests who focused on Tubuya didn't pay attention to him.
Vanu knew that the time bomb would explode at 12 o'clock on time, but he did not slip out in advance, for fear of arousing the suspicion of those militants afterwards. However, he had already calculated the time. As long as you leave a few dozen seconds early, you will be able to get out of the range of the time bomb exploding. Now that he had left the marquee, he would be safe after a few more steps. And in a few seconds, the explosion will happen...
