Chapter 102: Wang Dong's Worries
The new army competition is counted as a group for each camp tent, and Wang Dong's camp tent is not only for the mysterious woman, but there are still eight people, and the matchmaker has become a headache for him.
In Wang Dong's opinion, the matchmaker is of unknown origin and is the identity of an "assassin", so he excludes her from most things in the camp, which can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. However, this new army competition needed a battalion companion to participate in it.
Let a person of unknown origin and Wang Dong defend day and night to participate in the competition? In Wang Dong's opinion, this is so ridiculous.
But Wang Dong couldn't say it to the matchmaker clearly, after all, everything he had done before had obviously aroused the matchmaker's attention. If this time, even the competition excluded her, Wang Dong thought that the matchmaker would definitely notice that something was wrong.
In fact, as early as the beginning of Wang Dong and others' private training, the matchmaker had vaguely discovered Wang Dong's intentions. It's just that she didn't take this to heart, and she didn't bother to explain such things as being "misunderstood". Explain, sometimes the return pushes things to a worse situation.
"Wang Lang, you seem to be a little worried?"
Before the new army competition, Wang Dong and the others didn't have to worry about the tedious things in the room, so everyone concentrated on training, only Li Er saw that Wang Dong frowned slightly and had something on his mind.
Wang Dong sighed: "If there are only eight people in our camp, I don't have to worry." ”
Li Er is also a smart person, after hearing about the rules of the new army's martial arts competition, and then looking at Wang Dong's worried appearance at the moment, he immediately thought: "Are you afraid, that person is dragging us back?" ”
The matchmaker was in the camp and refused to communicate with anyone, so Li Er and the others couldn't figure out what her name was until now, so they had to call her "that person".
Wang Dong nodded: "That's right." ”
Regarding Wang Dong's suspicion of the identity of the matchmaker's assassin, he did not tell Li Er and the others clearly. In Li Er's opinion, the reason why Wang Dong was worried was because the matchmaker had never trained with them in everything, so there was a big problem with her strength. However, for Wang Dong, the strength of the matchmaker is not a problem, the problem is her identity.
All along, Wang Dong has made a clear conclusion about the matchmaker - she is an assassin. It was precisely this conclusion that blinded Wang Dong and made him unable to see many things.
Li Er turned his head and thought for a while: "Wang Lang, in fact, you don't have to worry too much, the rules say that you need a fire partner from the camp tent to participate, but it doesn't say that you must go to the end of the competition, then you just need him to sit honestly on the field, isn't it?" ”
Wang Dong secretly smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: "If things are really as simple as you say, do I still need to worry so much?" ”
The new army competition must have been very lively. When the time comes, the director of the New Army barracks will definitely be there in person, and in the chaos of the scene, what if this assassin who has been planning to assassinate suddenly strikes? Even if the assassin failed, but the assassin and the camp to which they belonged, he, Li Er and the others would definitely be implicated. When the time comes, even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to wash it.
In Wang Dong's opinion, the military law of the Tang Dynasty is a bit too harsh, sometimes there is only one assassin, but there will be many innocent people who are punished in the end.
Although Wang Dong identified the identity of the matchmaker's "assassin", but because there was no evidence, if he rashly went to expose it, he was afraid that he would be bitten back, saying that Wang Dong was "willing to retaliate", then Wang Dong was really in trouble.
It is precisely because of these considerations that Wang Dong did not dare to act rashly. At this moment, in the face of the new army's competition, it is even more timid.
"Could it be that you really want to do what Li Er said, pretending not to know anything?" Wang Dong said secretly in his heart.
With no good plan, Wang Dong could only accept Li Er's suggestion for the time being. Therefore, after a day of training, back in the camp, Wang Dong sat on the couch early and waited for the return of the matchmaker.
In the camp tent, Li Er, Zhou Qing, Qian Jin and others were exchanging the results of the daytime training, and the curtain of the camp tent was suddenly opened, and the arrival of the matchmaker made the camp tent silent in an instant. Everyone's eyes turned to the matchmaker.
The arrival of the matchmaker made the atmosphere in the tent instantly deserted. Only Li Er's eyes kept signaling to Wang Dong, asking Wang Dong to tell them their plan.
Wang Dong coughed dryly, stood up, and while on guard, came to the matchmaker, and said, "That...... Well, Captain Wang came to us today, hoping that we could participate...... Participate in the new army competition in a few days. ”
Wang Dong was a little wary, so he was some distance away from the matchmaker. But the matchmaker, as if she hadn't heard Wang Dong's words, put her spear on the weapon rack directly, and then walked to the side of the couch...... Doing his own thing as usual.
Wang Dong was puzzled, then Li Er thought that Wang Dong's words were not clear, so he urged Wang Dong with his eyes again.
Wang Dong had to say again: "That matter about the new army's martial arts competition, everyone in a camp needs to participate, so I specially came to tell you." ”
Everyone held their breath, hoping to hear the matchmaker's reply, but it was a pity. The matchmaker, as if she was deaf, still did not make the slightest unexpected move, and the expression on her face did not change at all.
The matchmaker's attitude made Wang Dong a little embarrassed, and at the same time made Li Er and the others very surprised.
Li Er secretly said in his heart: "What's the matter? Are you really deaf? ”
Wang Dong continued: "But don't worry, we won't force you, if you don't go, forget it." ”
Speaking of this, Wang Dong couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart. In his heart, he really didn't want this "assassin" to participate in any "new army competition". She went, and who knows what kind of moth it would provoke? Wouldn't it be better not to go?
Wang Dong's words also did not arouse the matchmaker's interest. I saw that she was already lying on the couch, taking off her shoes, socks and coat, and closing her eyes to take a nap.
It's as if Wang Dong has been talking to the air from beginning to end, and Wang Dong hasn't even gotten a word from the matchmaker.
The matchmaker's such a strange personality made Li Er and the others begin to wonder if she had a mental problem. Only Wang Dong knew that she might be afraid of revealing her identity, so she deliberately didn't speak. After all, even if they pretend to be similar, there is still an essential difference between male and female voices.
"It's better not to go, it's better not to go." Wang Dong was quite happy in his heart.
Six days, for Wang Dong and others, it is not long, and it is not short. Their physical strength already had some reserves, and in the next step, Wang Dong planned to exercise the reflexes of Li Er and the others.
