Chapter 076: The Coming Storm (5)
Under the morning light, the jungle forbidden land is full of green trees, surrounded by mist, and the oncoming breeze is also mixed with the fragrance of fragrant grass, and there is an inexplicable feeling of vitality. This can't help but make people wonder, how can the silver ring be full of dead branches and leaves and full of depression, but why is it lush and lush here?
Clearly, there must be some kind of secret behind this jungle retreat.
Just when Qiu Qiong was stunned, "Shasha" stopped at the other end of the tree with two eager steps.
Xu Tian kept smirking and beckoned straight ahead, his expression looking extremely relaxed. Moreover, before the man came to him, he bent down slightly and said in a loud voice: "Chief Nangong, you are here." β
"What?!" Qiu Qiong was stunned, and secretly shouted in her heart, "Nangong Siyuan! How did he come! β
Qiu Qiong hurriedly moved half of his body outward, and looked back with great effort, only to see Nangong Siyuan, who was wearing ordinary casual clothes, standing next to the tree, his face was extremely gray at this time, and his expression was very serious, but his bright and clean eyes seemed to be a dark cloud, and there was a faint hint of unease.
Nangong Siyuan glanced at Xu Tian up and down, and saw that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he didn't recognize him for a while, so he couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice: "Get up first, I'm on vacation today, so there is no need to be restrained." You, sorry, you're ......"
Xu Tian slowly straightened up, touched his head with one hand, and smiled awkwardly: "Heh, Chief Nangong, it's me, Xu Tian." β
"Xu Tian?" Nangong Siyuan blinked slowly, thought for a while, and finally remembered who he was. Immediately afterwards, I saw him suddenly sink his face, stared down at Qiu Qiong, gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Do you know what you're doing?" Volunteer to be cannon fodder? Are you crazy, this is looking for death! If you don't want to live, it's better to find a wall and die than to be cannon fodder! β
"This ...... I don't want to......" Xu Tian said dejectedly.
"Nangong Siyuan, why do you care so much! This is my own business, and I will bear the consequences! Qiu Qiong shouted angrily.
Nangong Siyuan snorted coldly, shook his head and said, "Take your own business, take it yourself?" If you really have this sense of responsibility, you should be responsible for the safety of your own life! Do you know how dangerous this bronze medal tournament is? You're a girl, you shouldn't be in a place like this! β
Qiu Qiong turned her head, sighed, and replied lightly: "I can do whatever I like, this is my freedom!" I don't need you to teach me a lesson! And, is it safe to stay in that amethyst mine? Don't think I didn't notice it, you put a lot of eyeliner in the mines, but they weren't staring at me, they were staring at the people who came to me! β
"Are you ......" Nangong Siyuan was stunned, his face was full of disbelief, and he asked in a slurred manner, "How are you ...... ...... discovered"
Qiu Qiong raised her hand, looked at the spikes not far in front of her, and recalled what happened in those days.
First of all, it was Dongfang Ke's subordinates, who were originally the guard officers in the amethyst mine, so they sneaked into Qiu Qiong's cell in the quietest time of the night. During the process, there was no sound at all, until another group of guards arrived, and the two sides scuffled together, and I don't know who inadvertently slapped a palm on the round table.
The lightness of this palm is like a mosquito pounced on a person, and it barely makes a sound.
But during that time in Lazy Town, the people in the rebel army had to watch out for lazy raids day and night, so that Qiu Qiong was forced to develop the habit of sleeping and listening to movements. So, no matter how light the palm was, it still woke her up. But she didn't do anything,
She watched the whole process in silence with her eyes half-open, until another group of guards dragged Dongk's men out of the cell.
That night, Qiu Qiong suddenly realized that no matter where she was, no matter how safe the environment around her seemed to be, danger was always lurking in the dark, and she couldn't hide from it.
After that, there were some skilled thugs, who were numerous, but not organized, and the timing of the attack was not regular, once on the way to the incinerator with Qiu Qiong pushing the minecart, once on her way back to her cell, and once all the way into her cubicle while she was washing......
But each time, at the moment when they were about to succeed, they were held back by a few masked men who suddenly came out.
With Qiu Qiong's alertness, she had already noticed that there were people behind her, but before she could make a move, those thugs fell one after another. She couldn't help but think to herself, since there are people willing to do this job, then let them do it! And herself, just pretend to be unaware.
"Can they stop for a while, can they stop for a lifetime?" Qiu Qiong glanced at Nangong Siyuan and said coldly, "I guess, you don't have much eyeliner left now!" How many have you been injured? β
Nangong Siyuan's heart trembled, smiled bitterly, and secretly thought: "Heh, I still think I have done a perfect job!" But in the end, it turned out that she had already found out! Moreover, it was so easy to guess that I had set it up! This girl is really not simple......"
"So, you're saying the opposite! Instead of staying in that cell waiting for someone to kill me, why don't you come here and gamble! Besides, who stipulated that cannon fodder is only a dead end, in case I survive to the end! β
Hearing this, Xu Tian couldn't help but look embarrassed, and after a long sigh, he shook his head and said, "Miss Xu, cannon fodder is cannon fodder, and we can't deal with those contestants." With that, he hurriedly squatted down, bowed his head to Qiu Qiong's ear, and whispered, "Miss Xu, stop daydreaming!" Chief Nangong is here, you can quickly ask him for intercession, he will definitely be willing to take the two of us out!" β
Qiu Qiong glanced at Xu Tian, snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Ask him? Where can he take us? It's not like throwing us back into the amethyst mines! β
At this time, Nangong Siyuan bypassed the tree trunk and stood in front of Qiu Qiong, his eyes were like the warm morning light around him, staring directly at the tip of her nose, and asked in an extraordinarily calm tone: "You have so many opinions." It's not, it's not, what the hell do you want? β
"What do you want?"
Qiu Qiong had been waiting for this question, and she had already rehearsed the answer. Therefore, when Nangong Siyuan threw her the right to choose, she took it without hesitation.
Suddenly, I saw Qiu Qiong change her previous indifference, and shouted with her eyebrows: "I don't want to do anything!" It doesn't matter where I stay! As long as he can let me see Lao Xu, he will naturally have a way to get me out! β
Nangong Siyuan's heart sank, a melancholy color passed over his face, and he shook his head slightly and said, "Impossible." He won't come to see you. β
Qiu Qiong was stunned, so anxious that she stomped her feet suddenly, and shouted: "You lied to me!" Why didn't Lao Xu come to see me! He's not going to leave me here! β
Nangong Siyuan took a deep breath and said calmly: "You misunderstood. It's not that he doesn't want to come to see you, it's that he can't. The ban and the fine were granted, and Mr. Xu was confined to the Silver Ring and needed to collect a fine of 20,000 yuan within the set time. Sorry, I did my best, but I still didn't get him out of the Silver Ring. β
"Twenty thousand ......," Xu Tian muttered, and asked with a look of surprise
said, "Chief Nangong, is it 20,000 copper coins or 20,000 silver coins?" β
"Gold coins."
Xu Tian was dumbfounded, his legs weakened in fright, he sat on the ground, and panted and said, "This is not a small amount!" In the current situation in the town, I am afraid that few people can afford such a high fine! β
"It turns out ......" For a while, Qiu Qiong felt as if she had been beaten violently, her eyes looked at her feet emptyly, and she thought, "That's what the big guy meant...... I'm really hurting them......"
At this moment, a snow-white but rough hand suddenly stretched out in front of Qiu Qiong's eyes, she looked up and fixed her eyes, only to find that Nangong Siyuan was staring at her with a spring breeze, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, as if she was smiling.
"I know who you are. I also asked Mr. Xu and he confessed. β
"What?!"
Qiu Qiong hurriedly moved her three positions away and looked at Nangong Siyuan from afar. But his face was like a relief, and his eyes were always focused on her eyebrows, and he didn't change a single bit for a long time, so that she couldn't tell whether he was telling the truth or talking a clichΓ©.
"You have to know that right now, the only person who can help you is me. If you go to the bronze medal tournament and there are too many pairs of eyes staring at you, with my ability alone, I am afraid I will not be able to keep you for long. I'll leave it to you, trust me, and go. β
Suddenly, Qiu Qiong's mind was in a mess. Last night, maybe just a few hours ago, she warned herself that Nangong Siyuan was a person who was extremely deep in the city and hid a knife in his smile! But at this moment, she was a little shaken, objectively speaking, she had to believe his words, but subjectively, she was afraid of being deceived by that righteous face again!
"Oops," Xu Tian stood up abruptly and shouted urgently, "Miss Xu, this is a chance to live!" What are you thinking! β
Just as Qiu Qiong was completely in a dilemma, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps in the depths of the woods, and the green leaves flew everywhere, as if it was autumn. Immediately after, in a burst of "crackling" and breaking branches, a tall and strong figure passed through the light mist and came to everyone with anger.
I saw that he suddenly swung his huge fist and hit the tree beside him with all his strength, and in the blink of an eye, the relatively thick trunk actually cracked a palm-wide deep mark, and after a few "booms", the whole tree fell to the ground.
Xu Tian was so frightened that he sat on the ground again, and said with a desperate face: "It's over, there's no chance......
"Nangong Siyuan, what are you doing here?"
"Angry! Oh, what do I do, what do I have to do with you, you just take care of your brass ring guard officer, and yourself! β
"Little young master," Ah Nu pursed his lips and sneered, "That's not what I said. You and I both know that this bronze medal tournament is very different from the previous ones! If you take her away, won't you make the people above unhappy! The man is not pleased, your father ......"
Nangong Siyuan gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I don't care!" I'm going to take her away today! You must not be allowed to do evil! β
"It's ridiculous!"
Ah Nu clenched his fists suddenly, only to hear a "poof", and the muscles in his body immediately more than doubled. Under that huge body, Nangong Siyuan's figure looked extremely small, but he did not flinch, but put on the same posture, looking like he was going to fight to the death with Ah Nu.
Qiu Qiong's heart tightened, she didn't want to see the bloody picture anymore, and she didn't want to affect anyone anymore.
"Enough! I...... I'm staying here! Voluntary! β
