Chapter 549: Final Steps
Chen Xiaoyao immediately dismissed Yao Fujiang's questioning, and finally changed the topic with a smile on his face: "Haha, anyway, we have collectively returned safely, and this time the three of us have undoubtedly become heroes and become the biggest contributors to saving the captain, I will knock on the door and tell everyone the good news later, and then we will wait to accept the cheers and praises of others, haha!" ”
Sure enough, as expected, as expected, just returned to the train, and before he could talk three words, Chen Xiaoyao, who has always liked to show off himself, couldn't wait to show off, and while treating himself as the first hero of the ages, he imagined how he would accept everyone's worship later.
The young Taoist priest laughed proudly, but unfortunately not everyone likes to boast like him, saying that this is the case, and the reality is also the same, at least for Yao Fujiang, at this moment, he doesn't want to disturb others immediately, not that he is low-key, but that the hungry stomach forced him to distinguish the urgency of the situation, and hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, and then touched his stomach while pointing to the clock and refuted: "Don't disturb others to sleep in the middle of the night, anyway, the things have already arrived, and it's not too late to go tomorrow, and, aren't you hungry?" ”
"Well, this, this......"
Not to mention, Yao Fujiang made a suggestion, although Chen Xiaoyao wanted to refute it instinctively, but the ensuing gurgling sound in his abdomen instantly embarrassed him, and he was about to say something to cover it up, and then ......
Before the words came out, or just as Chen Yao and the others were about to leave the No. 5 carriage and then plan to go back to their rooms to have dinner, on the other side, Zhao Ping, who had not said a word since he returned, suddenly opened his mouth to say a sentence, a sentence that made the two inexplicable:
"I don't think your two plans to eat first and then give notice may not come to fruition."
Whoa.
As soon as Zhao Ping's voice fell, he still didn't wait for the two to speak, and the next second, with the sound of a connecting door opening, an executor walked straight into the No. 5 carriage.
………
In the middle of the night, not long after the return of Zhao Ping, Chen Xiaoyao and Yao Fujiang, a series of footsteps sounded from far and near, and after a while, as the connecting door opened by itself, an executor walked into the No. 5 carriage.
Looking at the young man with a rather neutral aesthetic on the other side, the three of them recognized at a glance who it was, not someone else......
Cheng Ying.
Seeing that the other party came here in the middle of the night, the three people reacted differently, Zhao Ping was expressionless, Yao Fujiang looked stunned, it seemed that he was very surprised that the other party would appear at this time, and the reason also came from time, after all, this time was the time when the executor was resting and sleeping, and several of them had never left the No. 5 carriage after they returned, so how did Cheng Ying know? How did you get to this in the first place?
The flat-headed young man was stunned, but only Chen Xiaoyao vaguely showed a look of sudden realization.
Putting aside what others think for the time being, at this moment, confirming that the three people returned safely, Cheng Ying didn't talk nonsense, and asked in a complicated tone first: "Have you got the thing?" ”
Originally, Chen Xiaoyao wanted to tease the other party, but Zhao Ping got up directly from his seat when Cheng Ying's voice fell, and then walked to Cheng Ying's front and looked at him for a long time, and then the man with glasses replied lightly: "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten the promise I made to you before I got off the bus, and now, I have fulfilled my promise." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the red stick held by Yao Fujiang, turned around and continued: "The things have arrived, and the second step plan will be almost executed tomorrow, remember to be prepared at that time." ”
Sure enough, hearing what the man with glasses said, Cheng Ying immediately shifted her gaze and looked to the side in the direction Zhao Ping pointed, her vision locked on the spirit flag.
As for Zhao Ping, perhaps as he just said, he fulfilled his personal commitment, and after telling the process of Sakura, the man didn't say much, raised his feet and left, passing by Cheng Ying's side and walking straight to the connecting door.
And just as he was about to walk to the link door......
Cheng Ying, who was still standing upright and facing away from the man, showed a pleased smile, slowly closed her eyes, and although she didn't look back, she said two words in her mouth:
"Thank you!"
Hearing the voice behind him, Zhao Ping paused, raised his hand to support the gold wire glasses on the bridge of his nose, and finally replied with a slight smile without looking back:
"You're welcome."
Whoa.
After the briefest thank you answers, the man in glasses kept walking out of the car until his figure was obscured by the re-closed connecting door, and it was clear that the man had now returned to car 3 to rest.
As the saying goes, people don't dare to say it in front of it, and people spit out the truth later, Xu is glasses man's departure gave someone great courage, or suddenly remembered something, in the carriage, as soon as Zhao Ping left, Yao Fujiang, who had never had a chance to speak earlier, suddenly became active, walked to the front with an arrow step, and then said loudly to Cheng Ying: "Cheng Ying, you don't need to thank that bastard at all!" Not necessary, not at all! ”
lest the other party be suspicious, he said indignantly, and then pointed to the spirit banner and explained: "Do you know, in order to get this thing in hand, Chen Xiaoyao and I didn't make much effort at all, not only did they contribute very little, but they also pit the two of us at the end, and even almost ...... me."
As mentioned above, seeing the man with glasses leaving, and seeing Cheng Ying in front of him, coupled with the fact that the fire has been on fire for a long time, the flat-headed young man could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and directly frothed at the mouth in front of Cheng Ying, intending to get rid of the shameless and despicable brain of the man with glasses, but the strange thing is that before he finished speaking, a hand stretched out from behind slapped the young man on the shoulder.
Syllable.
His expression froze, and he instinctively turned his head and looked at Chen Xiaoyao with puzzled eyes, but the other party shook his head slightly and signaled not to speak.
Well?
Seeing this, Yao Fujiang was puzzled and was about to ask the reason, but the next moment, the young man was taken aback on the spot.
patted Yao Fujiang on the shoulder, Chen Xiaoyao moved, strode in front of Cheng Ying, stretched out his arms and suddenly exerted force, and actually picked up Cheng Ying, who had closed his eyes at some point!
When he picked up the other party, the young Taoist priest couldn't help but sigh in amazement: "Are you sleepwalking...... It seems that you really care about the captain's safety more than anyone else......"
Chen Xiaoyao explained the truth of the matter with a sentence of self-talk, and when he heard what the other party said, he was surprised, Yao Fujiang hurriedly walked to Chen Xiaoyao's side and stared at Cheng Ying, sure enough, if he hadn't paid attention at first, then at this moment, with his eyes and closer observation, he suddenly found that Cheng Ying had closed his eyes and lost his movements at some point, and at the same time made an even breathing sound, looking like he was asleep!?
"Huh? I really fell asleep! Is this, is this really sleepwalking? If it was really sleepwalking, then the conversation between her earlier and Zhao Ping ...... "Faced with such a result, the flat-headed young man can be said to be really surprised, after all, he has never encountered sleepwalking, and he has never seen a sleepwalking person can communicate and talk to others."
After hearing Yao Fujiang's inquiry, Chen Xiaoyao shook his head silently, and finally replied in an affirmative tone: "No, at least the ten seconds of talking to Zhao Ping just now were awake." ”
"Whew."
Putting down this sentence, he glanced at the sleeping person in his arms again, and took a long breath, Chen Xiaoyao turned around and ordered: "Let's go, send Cheng Ying back to his personal room first, and then let's go back to rest separately." ”
"It can be, but it's just ......"
"It's just that before Cheng Ying is completely settled, I will follow and monitor the whole process until you leave someone's room!"
"Holy! Yao Fujiang, who do you think of Poor Dao? I'm a true gentleman! If I really dare to have evil thoughts, do you think He Fei will let me go? Unless I don't want to live anymore! Hey? Wait, you already know that...... Forget it, monitor it, just monitor it, I'm not afraid of shadows, and I'm still afraid of your surveillance as a decent gentleman? Cut! ”
"But ......"
"Why are you playing with me and stopping? Find the difference, right? But what? If you have something to say, let it go! ”
"Hehe, Brother Fu Jiang, don't worry, I didn't sell it, I just want to say, ...... tomorrow"
"Everyone must be very happy!"
………
On the sixth day of the mission break, Hell Train, 8 a.m. sharp.
Car 2 meeting room.
The huge round table was full of people, except for the first vacancy in the central government, there was no one around, Cheng Ying, Peng Hu, Zhao Ping, Chen Xiaoyao, Yao Fujiang and Qian Xueling were all on the scene, and at this moment, everyone stared sideways without exception, staring at the opposite side, listening to Chen Xiaoyao's mouth like a river.
“…… So, with my excellent leadership and strong command, in the end, the three of us successfully entered the Judge Temple and successfully obtained the Soul Flag! ”
"! Really? The three of you actually broke into the mountains full of mantises? And managed to get the spirit flag? Why does it always feel like a joke? ”
"Hey, hey, Brother Peng, you're wrong, I just said how dangerous Yinshan is, it's not a place where ordinary people can go at all, if you still don't believe it, you can ask Senior Zhao and Brother Fu Jiang."
It was exactly the same as last night's expectation, early in the morning, seeing Zhao Ping and the three people returning safely, and seeing that the three people had a strange stick in their hands, especially after Chen Xiaoyao specially informed the name of the stick, at that moment, the whole carriage was boiling, everyone cheered, and for a time they did regard the three people as heroes, and the things behind were equally simple, entering the conference room, without the urging of others, the young Taoist priest with a strong desire to express himself took the initiative to narrate the experience, and under the curious gaze of everyone, he exerted his eloquence and eloquence, and explained the trip to Yin Mountain. As a result, the rest of the executors who stayed behind the train secretly smacked their tongues, secretly frightened, and were surprised that the other party could miraculously get the spirit flag from the Yin Mountain full of mantises, which was indeed not something ordinary people could do.
It's a pity that there are no absolutes in everything, although it is true that the other party has gotten something, but ...... Xu is Chen Xiaoyao's description of the words is slightly exaggerated, and when he heard the end, Peng Hu felt a little wrong, shook his face, and immediately questioned, as the bald man said above, since there are so many mantis in Yinshan that even the general's grave that no one can approach, and the form is so dangerous, how did the three of them succeed? Could it be that everything is true as Chen Xiaoyao said?
It always feels a little weird, could it be that those 3 guys are collectively hanging?
The answer is naturally no, with Chen Xiaoyao's dissatisfaction and refutation, and with Yao Fujiang's words to prove it, Peng Hu and some of the suspicious executors in their hearts can be regarded as completely convinced, and the reason why everyone believes it is not from Chen Yao and the others, in fact, the main key to their belief comes from the opposite side, from Zhao Ping's light nod.
(Damn, what's going on with these guys?) Yao Fujiang and I tried our best to explain that everyone was just half-convinced, but unexpectedly, Zhao Glasses just nodded and you completely believed it? Oh my day...... )
Putting aside the young Taoist priest's complaining in his heart, as a group of people completely believed what had happened, in addition to Peng Hu's surprised face, Cheng Ying also stared at Chen Xiaoyao with stunned eyes, and sure enough, seeing that the two veterans of the team both cast their eyes, at this moment, Chen Daoshi's vanity can be said to be greatly satisfied.
"Wait, I have something to say too!"
Xu was afraid that all the halo would be snatched away by the other party, and seeing the young Taoist priest's face trembling, Yao Fujiang also hurriedly picked up the details of Chen Xiaoyao's loss and supplemented them, and by the way, he mentioned his credit in detail as if he was fighting for merit.
At this moment, in the conference room, looking at Chen Yao and the two on the left and right who were still foaming at the mouth and narrating their encounter, Cheng Ying shifted her gaze and looked at the silent glasses man at the end of the round table, looked at it for a moment, because she was in a good mood, Cheng Ying smiled, and then asked the glasses man in a rare teasing tone: "Hey, those two dicks have finished narrating the matter, why don't you say a word?" ”
Not to mention, with Cheng Ying starting up, everyone realized that the man surnamed Zhao on the other side had indeed not spoken for a long time, and asked Fang Luo, and Zhang Hu, who was also in a good mood, followed with a grin and echoed: "Yes, yes, I said Zhao Ping, both of them have told the matter again, why don't you let go of a fart?" Isn't there anything to add? ”
Seeing that the two veterans of the team were both in a good mood and asked Zhao Ping, Qian Xueling also subconsciously looked at the man with expectant eyes, and then ......
The strange thing is that in the face of Cheng Ying's ridicule, listening to Peng Hu's inquiry, and being watched by everyone, Zhao Ping still did not speak immediately, first raised his hand to support the bridge of his nose and glasses, and finally replied lightly in an indifferent tone: "Everything that should be said has been said by those two guys, I don't need to add to it." ”
Faced with such an answer, Peng Hu and Cheng Ying were stunned at the same time, fortunately, they knew each other's personalities, and seeing that the man didn't want to talk nonsense, the two didn't continue to ask, Peng Hu just shrugged his shoulders, and Cheng Ying couldn't help pouting: "Cut, boring guy." ”
Then, something happened at the scene, something that surprised Chen Xiaoyao alone.
casually chatted with Yao Fujiang for a while, and then, Peng Hu moved, turned around and bowed towards Qingnian Dao at the moment when his expression changed to solemnity.
As expected, seeing the bald head bowing to himself inexplicably, the young Taoist priest was suddenly taken aback, and hurriedly jumped out of his seat to get up and dodge, and his mouth was even more busy questioning: "Damn!" Brother Peng, what are you doing here? ”
Surprised, stunned, stunned, in fact, with the wisdom of the young Taoist priest, he still saw at a glance what the other party was doing, there is no doubt that the bald man is thanking, for He Fei, for all the executors who stayed on the train, but what really caused him to be confused was ......
Why do the other people only thank themselves alone?
Yes, after all, this return to reality was accompanied by Zhao Ping and Yao Fujiang, and in the end, the Soul Banner was also found by the three of them, even if it was to express gratitude, Yao Fujiang and Zhao Ping should be added together, right? How......
Chen Xiaoyao was a little dazed, and he didn't understand why Peng Hu wanted to express his gratitude to him alone.
Puzzled and confused, his eyes subconsciously turned to others, but he saw that most of the others were similar to Peng Hu and cast grateful eyes on him.
Daoist Chen was stunned, completely stunned, until Peng Hu walked in front of him and took the initiative to reveal the answer:
Patting the young man on the shoulder, the bald man explained in an emotional tone: "Brother Chen, do you know why I thank you alone?" Because you're different. ”
"Different?"
"Well, you are different from Zhao Ping and Yao Fujiang, you are just a newcomer who has just joined the team, to be honest, you don't actually need to participate in the search for the spirit flag, and you can completely refuse to go to the real world to risk it by virtue of your newcomer status, after all, you are just a newcomer, and you have a short contact time with everyone, and you are not obliged to follow the veteran to take risks together, but you took the risk to ...... This bow is not an expression of my personal expression, but of the entire team to thank you. ”
"Well, that's just one time to thank you, no matter what you do from now on, no one will thank you anymore, hehe."
After listening to Peng Hu's explanation, and listening to the other party's meaningful additional end, Chen Xiaoyao understood and completely understood the meaning of his words.
There is no doubt that everyone knows that Peng Hu and He Fei are executors in the same period, belonging to the veteran figures, and now He Fei is in a coma, and he will undoubtedly thank him on behalf of the entire team and the entire team, which is very understandable, and it is indeed as the bald man said, he is just a newcomer, different from the veteran who has an unshirkable responsibility, as a newcomer, he actually does not need to take risks with He Fei, but he really played his life in Yinshan, between this, how can the seniors pretend not to know and say nothing?
As for the last thank-you, this is the only time......
What does that mean? The meaning is simpler, that is, through this matter, the other party and other veterans have now fully accepted themselves, and collectively agree with the existence of him Chen Xiaoyao as a teammate, note that this kind of teammate is different from the superficial title of a teammate who will become a teammate whenever he enters the train, but a real partner title, and can rest assured that he can entrust his back to the other party's companion!
Since they are companions, they need to help each other, and whoever helps each other is right, so there is naturally no need to thank each other.
Through Peng Hu's words just now, one thing has been proven, proving that from this moment on, everyone accepts Chen Xiaoyao and truly regards the young man as a trustworthy companion and teammate.
As an aside, in fact, it is not easy for Chen Xiaoyao to be sincerely accepted by everyone so quickly, at least in Yao Fujiang's personal opinion, there are only newcomers who can be completely accepted after just performing a supernatural assignment with the team, even he and Qian Xueling were gradually accepted by the team after experiencing many tasks with the veteran, strictly speaking, he gradually integrated into the team by virtue of He Fei's trust, and Qian Xueling relied on hugging Zhao Ping.
Getting back to the point, at this moment, after understanding the meaning of Peng Hu's words, Chen Xiaoyao smiled, the corners of his mouth grinned, and then he said in a tone that seemed to be modest but was actually extremely underwhelming: "Haha, Brother Peng, you and everyone are too polite, it is true, although I am indeed very awesome personally, and in fact I am indeed better than anyone in the team, as long as everyone accepts me, don't be too polite, if you have to express your gratitude to me......"
Speaking of this, he turned his hand and raised his hand to Cheng Ying on the opposite side and continued: "If you have to thank me, then it's enough to let this guy come over and bow to me, hehehe, hehe...... Scold...... Forehead? ”
The scene fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere instantly turned tense.
In the silence, in addition to Zhao Ping's expressionlessness, Yao Fujiang's face was full of anger, Qian Xueling was dumbfounded, and in front of him, the smile on Peng Hu's face gradually disappeared, and Cheng Ying, who was in a good mood earlier, changed his complexion suddenly in an instant, and his eyes looking at the young Taoist priest were full of coldness.
Xu is felt the change in the atmosphere of the scene, Chen Xiaoyao, who was still laughing wildly just now, stopped laughing, the laughter gradually disappeared, and while scratching his head, he swept his eyes at the conference table with puzzled eyes, and finally muttered to himself: "Huh? What's going on? Always feel like the atmosphere is a little different from what it was just now? Is it my delusion? ”
Next Second......
Peng Hu suddenly stretched out his hand to Chen Xiaoyao, and then shouted at the surrounding people with an annoyed expression: "What about him! Praise this hanging hair for two sentences, I didn't expect this hanging hair to really gasp! Hit him! ”
Hula!
When it was too late, Peng Hu's voice fell, and Cheng Ying, who was the closest, had already swung his fist at the young man like lightning, and Peng Hu and Yao Fujiang also followed closely behind and pounced.
After 5 minutes......
Car 2 meeting room.
Slowly stretched out his hand, helped his nose bridge glasses, Zhao Ping said slowly: "The Soul Banner is now in hand, the next step is to take He Fei back to the Yin Yang Road World as originally planned, and finally use the Spirit Banner to recall the other party's soul, I personally recommend leaving immediately, I don't know if you have any other suggestions?" ”
After listening to Zhao Ping's narration, around the conference table, the executors first looked at each other a few times, and then shook their heads to say that they had no opinion, which also meant that everyone agreed that it was time to implement the second step plan.
"Isn't that new?"
asked casually, seeing that everyone present was silent, the man with glasses nodded, and then, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, after nodding, Zhao Ping shifted his gaze, and then stared at a young Taoist priest sitting on the right side of Cheng Ying, stared for a moment, and finally opened his mouth to ask: "Chen Xiaoyao, do you have any special opinions?" ”
Following the gaze of the man in glasses, the picture shifted to Chen Xiaoyao's location, and then ......
"Woo, oops, oops......"
It's okay not to look at it, but when I look at it, I see that the young man looks extremely miserable, his hair is messy, his nose is blue and his face is swollen, his left eye socket is all black, not to mention that there is still a little blood left on the corner of his jaw and mouth, and he is currently covering his cheeks and moaning in a low voice, seeing Zhao Ping asking himself, Chen Xiaoyao hurriedly shook his head, and groaned while shaking his head, adding:
"Well, I, I'm generally fine, but I'd still like you guys to allow me to go out before the second step, can you let me go around car 5 first?"
