Chapter 44: Temptation and Matching
When Sabidulia walked into Zheng Ming's tent again with a nervous mood, he saw Zheng Ming sitting on the top and thinking expressionlessly, and the goblin village chief who had fainted at the door.
A quick glance around, there were no signs of fighting, and even all the furnishings were no different from before. Then why did the Goblin Village Chief fall unconscious? With a puzzled look on his face, he forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and looked at Zheng Ming above.
"It's ...... What happened? ”
Hearing Sabidulia's question, Zheng Ming's gaze shifted slightly, and his pupils focused together. I saw it condescendingly looking down at Sabidulia, and in a disturbing tone of indifference, he told the truth that made Sabidulia break out in a cold sweat.
"Oh, I just talked to him about the difference between a feline and a canine. There is also the specific scar caused by the surprise of the attack habits of both sides.
Obviously, as a goblin village chief who lives in the dense forest, he quickly realized this. So we had a pleasant discussion about how to keep the lie from being exposed in the short term.
Just as I was about to continue to discuss with him that we should have the least respect for each other and not treat each other as mentally retarded, I don't know why he fainted. Maybe it's an old disease. ”
There was no emotion in his tone, no change in his expression, no wavering eyes, no hint of anger at being deceived.
However, these performances of the other party made Sabidulia even more unsettled. His legs were weak and he almost fell to his knees, and cold sweat broke out like a waterfall.
He quickly lowered his head. At this time, he didn't dare to look at the other party, and he didn't even dare to speak, he felt that if he moved the slightest, the other party would burst out, revealing a madness that was diametrically opposed to the calm at this time.
"So what's that going on? Oh yes. Calm before the storm! ”
Hurriedly kneeling on the ground, he stared at the ground with such thoughts, letting the sweat drip like a stream fall to the ground and drench the animal skins on the ground.
"Your Excellency. The barbecue is ready. ”
Just then, a female voice came, and the curtain was lifted. Sabidulia could tell her identity from the other party's pleasant voice alone, and it was Siscout's sister.
Because it's all too familiar! Almost every day, she comes to take care of the food and daily life of Siscoute, as well as herself as a teacher.
"Sure enough, he is a bold and careful person who is safe enough to be trusted."
While secretly praising Sikout's decisiveness and trade-offs, Sabidulia began to worry again.
Obviously, the atmosphere and timing are not very good at this time, what if the other party notices an abnormality in the food?
To his delight, things didn't go the worst way he had expected.
I saw Zheng Ming, who was sitting on the upper seat, let out an inexplicable chuckle when he heard the voice, and indifferently ordered: "Put it on." The priest really had a heart. The food was ready so quickly. ”
"Don't dare. How dare you call him a priest before the great men? This is what villains should do. ”
"Hmm. It just so happens that I haven't eaten in a few days. To be honest, I've been starving for a few days. ”
Hearing Zheng Ming's whisper, Sabidulia was overjoyed, and couldn't help but look up. only to find that the other party was playing with barbecue and staring at him with a smile.
Zheng Ming's eyes made his heart tremble, and he quickly lowered his head.
"Lift your head up. You are also the most noble priest in the village. ”
"The villain doesn't dare."
"Don't dare or can't? Didn't hear me? Keep your head up! ”
When the sound of Li's shouts came, Sabidulia trembled with fright and quickly raised his head.
"That's right. Why is there only one plate of barbecue? Don't you have to eat? ”
Zheng Ming's moody side made Sabidulia frightened. He looked at the beautiful face with a shallow smile on his face, forced down his beating heart, and replied after considering his words.
"There is Lord Lao's concern, and the villain is grateful. But the villain has already eaten it before. Adults don't have to worry about villains. ”
"Oh? All right. Then you're welcome? ”
Zheng Ming casually raised the roast leg in his hand and looked at it carefully, and then leaned in front of his nose and sniffed it.
staring at Zheng Ming's actions, lest he miss something, Sabidulia, at this time, his mood also rose and fell with the roast leg meat in Zheng Ming's hand.
Under Sabidulia's expectant gaze, Zheng Ming suddenly put down the barbecue that had reached his mouth, squinted his eyes and asked, "What?" Would you like to eat? ”
Sabidulia, who was originally engrossed, suddenly heard Zheng Ming's question, and was almost frightened, he quickly shook his head and waved his hand to answer incoherently.
"Nope. No...... I mean...... The villain is just worried that the food is not in harmony with the taste of the adults. ”
"Heh, you're overthinking. This barbecued leg meat smells delicious and looks delicious. The meat is delicate and juicy. It's sprinkled with spices, right? This spice also plays a good decorative role. It's much more tempting than the whitish pieces of meat that were cooked the other day. ”
"Thank you, Lord for complimenting."
"You seem to be in a hurry? Is it because of the past? If those people from other villages are restless, tell me. I can help you out. ”
Seeing Zheng Ming talking about him left and right, Sabidulia, who was anxious in his heart, finally couldn't help but urge out loud.
"Thank you for your concern. These trivial matters do not dare to bother adults. This barbecue should be eaten hot, if it is cold, it will not taste good. ”
"Oh. That's right. Then I'll eat it? ”
Under Sabidulia's expectant and anxious gaze, Zheng Ming, who had a playful look in his eyes, finally put the barbecued leg meat in his hand into his mouth and feasted on it.
It wasn't until it was confirmed that Zheng Ming had indeed eaten the barbecue leg that Sabidulia breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that the clothes on his body had been soaked with sweat, and his body was numb because of the constant tension and stiffness.
"It worked. Now it's just a matter of waiting for the drug to take effect, and then sending out a signal to rush up. ”
The tension was finally relieved, and Sabidulia thought as she moved slightly.
He changed to a more comfortable posture to avoid an accident due to the stiffness of his body when he was fighting for a while, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sneer at an angle that Zheng Ming couldn't see.
"Hmph. Let you be arrogant for a while. I'll make you pay for your arrogance in a moment. ”
"Leah~ I see that you are very uncomfortable kneeling, get up and sit down."
Zheng Ming's casual voice came, and Sabidulia, who was originally thinking about whether to knock on the side, suddenly felt happy in his heart, and hurriedly changed to a comfortable sitting position.
"Thank you. To be honest, the villain's old arms and legs were really unbearable just now. ”
What Sabidulia didn't realize was that it might be due to the sudden relaxation of his mind, and he was at this time similar to his previous attitude of walking on thin ice. This is very conspicuous to Zheng Ming, who has a full view of all this above.
But Zheng Ming didn't show anything, it just flashed his eyes, showed a meaningful smile, and chatted with Sabidulia about the trivial things that had happened in the past few days since his disappearance.
Under its behavior of constantly picking up the barbecue leg meat to eat, it can be clearly felt that Sabidulia is becoming more and more relaxed, and his answers are becoming more and more fluent, restoring the cunning appearance of Zheng Ming's impression.
In the face of Zheng Ming's repeated questions and side knocks, Sabiduliya was stunned and did not reveal a trace of obvious flaws.
Time passed minute by minute, and after Zheng Ming finished eating the whole plate of two large barbecued legs, Sabidulia, who had not seen the effect of the medicine for a long time, seemed to realize that something was unusual. I saw that his face was getting more and more ugly, and his questions about Zheng Ming became more and more perfunctory.
"What are you waiting for? Should I vomit blood and fall to the ground? Or do you show dizziness and look at you with surprise on your face? ”
Faced with Zheng Ming's sudden question, the absent-minded Sabidulia paused for a moment. As if he couldn't believe his ears, he looked at Zheng Ming blankly and confirmed again: "What? ”
"Sure enough, in the face of a strong person who is stronger than himself, using poison is the most common method. It's a shame that if I knew the symptoms of the poison, I would have been able to pretend to be poisoned to get more information. ”
Zheng Ming's words came, and they sounded like five thunderbolts in Sabidulia's ears. Obviously, the matter had been revealed for some reason, and he quickly jumped up from the ground.
"How did you notice that?"
Maybe Sabidulia couldn't figure out what was wrong. But in Zheng Ming's opinion, it was natural to speculate all this.
Originally, Zheng Ming was suspicious and wary of them. In addition, Zheng Ming had a firm grasp of the situation from the beginning, so under the guidance and oppression of his words and actions, Sabidulia, who was already nervous in his heart, became more and more enlightened by the change in his behavior and mentality.
It's not that Zheng Ming is smart, or how stupid Sabidulia is. It's a natural advantage held by the person who takes the lead and guides the topic and atmosphere. It can arbitrarily steer the situation in the direction it wants.
And controlling the situation is the privilege of being a strong man. So Zheng Ming, who is a strong man, noticed that these were almost inevitable.
This is also one of the reasons why it is difficult to defeat the strong with the weak and is widely recited.
"I still have to get stronger. Only strength is fundamental. ”
Sabidulia, who was waiting for an explanation, got a sigh of unknown meaning from Zheng Ming...
