Chapter 5: Surprising Speculation
The 14-year-old little confused has been slim and graceful, and his delicate face has attracted the attention of almost all pedestrians on the road. Sang Nan was the same age as her, but her height was only up to her shoulders, and the two of them walked on the wide and smooth Tianxiang Street in Binglan City, talking and laughing, like sisters and brothers, and the four white-clothed guards followed from a distance.
Some passers-by hid and pointed or whispered, but no one dared to come forward and talk. Xiao Mi seemed to be very angry when he found this scene, glaring at those people from time to time, waving his fist, and the image of a lady was lost. Sang Nan's face was calm and calm. Six years have allowed him to get used to his situation.
Sang Nan and Xiao Confused came to the flower house, and Mei Dongli came out from afar and saluted, "It's an honor for the son to come!" Hurry inside please! After speaking, he hurriedly put Sang Nan into the flower house.
Xiao Mi looked unhappy next to him, "Hey! You're so rude, you only care about talking to your son, but you ignore me! Don't you look down on me? ”
Mei Dongli was only thinking about the reward notice just now, and didn't pay much attention to the others, and when he saw the little confusion next to him, he was about to get angry, so he hurriedly laughed and apologized: "It's a faux pas!" Snub Miss Rou, forgive your sins! ”
Xiao Confused said as he walked, "It's pretty much the same. Feed! Are you afraid of me? Mei Dongli just breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard the last sentence of the little confused, his smile suddenly froze, and he thought, it's not that I'm afraid, I'm very afraid, okay! But he hurriedly said, "How can it? Miss Rou is the most beautiful and gentle girl I have ever seen! It's a pity that such a rude person is difficult to get into the eyes of the girl! ”
After several years of training experience, Mei Dongli has become more sophisticated and sleek.
The little confused eyes lit up when he heard this, and he became happy, "Really? Do you think I'm the prettiest? ”
"Of course! How dare you deceive Miss Rou? Mei Dongli patted his chest and replied without a trace of hesitation.
"Then tell me quickly, which one is more beautiful, me or Mei Donn?" After Xiao Confused finished speaking, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at Mei Dongli with a smile, like a cunning fox.
"This, uh~" Mei Dongli's smile stiffened, and he was speechless for a while.
"Sister Rou is here!" I saw Mei Dongen, who was dressed in a white uniform, walked in at this time, she first made a gesture to Sang Nan from a distance, and then walked to the front of Xiao Confused, and said with a smile: "Sister is really beautiful today, which makes Dong En a little jealous!" ”
She originally had a beautiful temperament, but under this smile, it was like an ice flower blooming, and the room was full of spring, Sang Nan couldn't help but be stunned, and the picture of "clear water hibiscus, natural carving" appeared in her mind, and secretly praised it, so beautiful!
Soon, his expression returned to normal, but his eyes glanced at Medon. Seeing Sang Nan's momentary gaffe and subsequent actions, Mei Dongen's pretty face turned red, revealing a look that seemed to be disgusted.
Actually, Mei Dongen was wrong to blame Sannan. Because of his regular training, every time he looks at someone, his eyes will unconsciously aim at different acupuncture points on the other party's body, and of course he has caused a lot of embarrassment.
Xiao Confused seemed to have a natural hostility towards Mei Dongen, and now when he heard her say this, he couldn't help but smile at her kindly.
"Didn't my sister say last time that she was quite familiar with Nanshan Lily? The shop happened to have two plants not long ago, but this flower seems to be a little delicate and not easy to take care of, can my sister give me some guidance? Mei Don said with a smile on his face and a natural tone.
Xiao Confused also knew that Sang Nan was here to do something, just now she just couldn't get used to Mei Dongli's young age, but she pretended to be an old treacherous and cunning, and wanted to tease him. At the moment, Mei Dongen has something to ask for, so he will accept it when he sees it, but he still puts on a pretending to be profound: "Okay, for the sake of your sweet mouth, I will spare this liar today!" Let's go and see your flowers first! After speaking, he didn't forget to glare at Mei Dongli fiercely.
Mei Dong Enjiao smiled: "Sister, please come with me!" After speaking, he and Xiao Confused walked to the back flower room holding hands.
Watching the two girls walk into the inner courtyard, Sang Nan and Mei Dongli breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Looking at Mei Dongli, who was still smiling bitterly, Sang Nan took the lead in asking, "Okay, tell me what is the matter?" ”
"That's right, early this morning, someone sent a reward notice to Du Ming's house, wanting us to deal with a group of mysterious bandits who haunt near Ice and Snow City, with a bounty of 50,000 gold coins!" Mei Dongli gave a general introduction to the situation.
Sang Nan was staying next to a rich caryophyllus, looking at the flowers, listening quietly, but not speaking. Seeing this, Mei Dongli continued: "According to the information we have gathered before, the goal should be to kill the group of people from the Sanshi team!" ”
"Last time I heard Lao Wu say that the other party used a knife?" Sang Nan asked suddenly.
"That's right! And the strength is very strong, it is said that even Na Sangshi only took three knives from the other party! Childe, if we make a rash move this time, I'm afraid there will be casualties! Mei Dongli's expression became a little solemn.
Sang Nan quietly looked at the green caryophyllus in front of him, and suddenly felt a little uneasy, you must know that the Ice and Snow City belongs to the area controlled by the Sang tribe, and the soldiers of the Sang tribe are well-trained, brave and good at fighting, but they were completely wiped out by the bandits, which is really unexpected. Is there a bandit with such a strong fighting power? He felt that this incident was very unusual, but he couldn't say what the reason was for a while.
Bandits, Mulberry Squad, Ice and Snow City, Mulberry ...... For the bandits, money, beauty, or territory are what they are interested in. It is undeniable that the bandits who were able to annihilate the Sanshi team were strong enough individually, but they only defeated 20 excellent soldiers. If this alone tries to challenge the army, it is still a border army known for its courage and good fighting, which is somewhat unlikely! Bandits are also human beings, and they can't be so stupid. But what is their motivation for doing so?
Thinking about it, my heart couldn't help but pound.
Suddenly, Sang Nan's whole body shook violently, yes, it was the motive!
"What's wrong?" Mei Dongli couldn't help but ask urgently, and he quickly noticed Sang Nan's strange appearance. For so many years, he had never seen Childe lose his temper like this, could it be that things were so serious?
Sang Nan didn't speak, and after a while, he regained his composure and said to Mei Dongli: "Let's take the bounty next, but tell the other party that the bounty will be doubled!" The tone was light, but it was full of unquestionable flavor.
"Childe-" Mei Dongli seemed to want to stop Sannan. He knew in his heart that after several years of painstaking management by Gongzi, the overall strength of the "Gray Sparrow" was far more than it seemed on the surface, but after all, the group had not been established for a long time, and the background was insufficient, especially the number of masters has been insufficient. Especially in the past few years, he has been constantly fighting against Moya's bounty list, putting the whole group in a very dangerous situation. If they provoke a powerful opponent of unknown origin at this time, it will undoubtedly make their situation worse.
"I understand what you mean, but this time the situation is a bit special, you wait for the news to come out, except for the intelligence officers, all the other people rush back to Binglan City! The sooner the better! Sang Nan interrupted Mei Dongli's next words, and seeing that his face was still full of doubts, his heart was relieved, and he asked lightly: "Do you think my decision this time is a bit risky?" ”
Mei Dongli was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he remembered that his attitude was indeed a little inappropriate, and hurriedly said respectfully: "My subordinates do have some doubts, please advise my son!" ”
Sang Nan's face was calm, and he slowly spoke: "You're right, I'm taking a risk, and I'm risking the destruction of the whole group, even myself!" ”
For a time, he felt uncertain about his future: his physical defects prevented him from making it to the ranks of his father, and he was unable to charge into battle and kill the enemy like his father and brothers did. Could it be that his destiny should be to eat in the industry under the name of the family, be plain and bland, and live his whole life? His heart was full of unwillingness.
It wasn't until the appearance of the mysterious nautical chart that his life goal became broad and clear.
Sang Nan clearly knew that no matter whether it was traveling or treasure hunting in the future, he would not be able to do it alone, and he thought that he did not have that kind of strength. This requires a team with the strength to crisscross the Moya continent and let him trust enough to complete these things together, so there is "Gray Sparrow". It's just that the current "gray sparrow" is far from meeting his requirements.
With his mind, he could naturally see that the risk of this bounty mission was huge, but he couldn't stay out of it, because the other party's motives touched his bottom line. He trusts his own judgment and his instincts, and when they point to the same answer, the answer is surprisingly correct. It's just that I don't know how many people will be left of the "gray sparrow" after this incident.
"What! The whole group is wiped out? Childe, you-" Mei Dongli exclaimed, what did Childe mean by this?
Sang Nan raised his head to meet Mei Dongli's panicked, distracted and puzzled gaze, but said something inexplicable: "Have you read "The History of Moya"? ”
