11. Partner (Last)
Watching the formation of the two armies in the sand table gradually change from the light curtain, the audience either nodded or shook their heads and sighed, all of them were completely immersed in it, but Zhang Longqian and Bai Lu, who had been watching carefully for a while, couldn't understand it at all, so the two of them were bored and talked in a whisper.
"Anyway, didn't Xiao Miao do something for this competition? Why didn't you see it? ”
Covering his mouth with his hand, Bai Lu replied in a low voice: "That's what was needed for a round of competition before, and the final was the oldest project, a 'polemic' of pure strategy, which is the job of the Zongheng family." ”
Hearing Bai Lu say that it was the "oldest project", Zhang Longqian finally raised a little interest, so she stared at the light curtain patiently for a while.
I saw that under the silent command of the two, the armies of the two sides slyly tested each other, avoided, and lured, and all kinds of tactics that Zhang Longqian could not say were used, but in any case, they just didn't go head-to-head, which made Zhang Longqian, a person who didn't know much about the art of war, quickly get tired of it, and the feeling of boredom came up again.
Sitting like this, staring at the light curtain like this, her body always felt a little stiff after a long time, Zhang Longqian, who had nothing to do, twisted her neck and moved, and finally moved her eyes away from the light curtain that she couldn't understand, and casually glanced into the field, which can be regarded as passing the time in disguise. Then when her gaze moved to a certain point, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but stop her gaze and raised her eyebrows slightly at the same time.
Although there were a lot of people who came to watch the finals, it was not many, and there were not a few people standing in the unfilled audience, so the tall and thin and sickly figure was particularly eye-catching, and it caught Zhang Longqian's attention at once.
Noticing the slight change in Zhang Longqian's face, Ji Haiyun followed her gaze, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "Poisonous son? ”
The subtle doubts did not attract anyone's attention except for Zhang Longqian, she nodded her head slightly, her eyes still stopped at Liao Lei who was standing next to the entrance, he didn't seem to be aware of Zhang Longqian's existence, but kept staring at the field, his pale face looked a little solemn, and he looked very serious.
But after staring at Liao Lei for a while, Zhang Longqian noticed that something was wrong.
Was he really watching the polemic game?
looked suspiciously at Liao Lei's gaze, and what caught Zhang Longqian's eyes was not only the huge sand table in the field, but also Zhou Miao, who commanded the sand table army with an expressionless face.
His heart jumped slightly, and after a little consideration, Zhang Longqian whispered a few words to Bai Lu, found an excuse and got up and walked to Liao Lei's side, and Ji Haiyun followed her as a matter of course.
The gaze remained unchanged, and it was not until Zhang Longqian approached that Liao Lei whispered as if she had just noticed her: "You are here too." ”
Even though he said the same words as greetings, Liao Lei's gaze did not turn, Zhang Longqian couldn't help frowning slightly to block his vision, and met his somewhat gloomy gaze and said, "I should say this, right?" I didn't expect the poisonous boy to be interested in 'polemics'! ”
"Don't call that nickname, just call it by name."
Hearing Zhang Longqian call him "poisonous son", I don't know why Liao Lei looked a little unhappy, Zhang Longqian didn't think much about it, he just smiled symbolically and said "Okay" when he heard the words, and then before she could speak again, Liao Lei looked at her and whispered.
"I just have something to look for you."
Seeing that Liao Lei's appearance didn't look like a joke, Zhang Longqian blinked a little unexpectedly, thinking about it, he put aside what he wanted to say for the time being, and asked him, "What are you looking for me?" ”
"I heard, you're looking for someone to attend the autumn festival?"
Although it was a question sentence, Liao Lei's gloomy gaze seemed very affirmative, Zhang Long didn't deliberately hide it, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, but where did you hear it?" I didn't tell anyone but a few of my friends, so you probably didn't have anything to do with them, did you? ”
"Qiu Kui's idiot was there when you signed up, he told me." Speaking of Qiu Kui, Liao Lei frowned slightly, but soon returned to his usual dead face, he looked at Zhang Long and said, "Look like this, you haven't found a partner yet, right?" ”
"That's right." Nodding generously and acknowledging, Zhang Longqian looked at Liao Lei with interest, "Why are you asking this?" Do you want to partner with me? ”
Originally, it was just a joke, but Liao Lei nodded unexpectedly.
"Almost. In order to go to Mt. Yiyi, I am also going to participate in the autumn festival, and it just so happens that I haven't found a partner yet, since you are too...... It doesn't hurt to join you. ”
Seeing that Liao Lei said very seriously, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then she almost reflexively considered the gains and losses.
Zhang's goal is to reach the finals, and she's not so arrogant that she thinks she can handle a variety of opponents on her own, so a strong partner is essential. Liao Lei in front of him has the name of "Poisonous Son", since he is one of the "Four Sons" who will give the entire Dao Law world a headache, his strength is naturally beyond doubt, and he was born in a Dao Fa family, and he is much clearer than Zhang Longqian, a half-man, in many things, which is undoubtedly extremely advantageous in the face of competitors.
But Zhang Longqian is self-aware, her strength is by no means the best among all the participating students, since Liao Lei's goal is to enter the Yiyi Mountain, that is, he must get the top three in the competition, then he should find a stronger person to form a team, such as his friend Qiu Kui, but why did he come to her? After all, if the two are partners, no matter how it can be counted, Zhang Longqian will get more benefits, she never believes in this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing, and it will always make people feel uneasy for no reason, so she asked Liao Lei when she was puzzled.
"Why are you looking for me? Isn't Qiu Kui better? ”
Hearing Zhang Longqian mention Qiu Kui's name again, Liao Lei frowned unhappily and said, "I will never team up with that idiot." ”
"So, why me?"
Liao Lei didn't answer immediately, just stared at Zhang Longqian with a gloomy gaze, those calm eyes made her feel like she was being watched by Zhou Miao for a moment, as if she was completely seen through, and then she saw Liao Lei hook the corners of her mouth sarcastically, and said: "Don't worry, I didn't unconditionally put forward this unilateral proposal that was beneficial to you, and I also had conditions to partner with you." ”
These words made Zhang Longqian feel a little relieved, and then asked: "What are the conditions?" ”
Staring at Zhang Longqian, there was some kind of strange light flickering slightly in Liao Lei's gloomy eyes.
"You and Zhou Miao are very close friends, right?"
