Duo
"When I came, there were two pairs, and when I returned, there was only one pair left...... To say that this life is really unpredictable......"
Liang Jingmo pillowed his hands behind his head, walked crookedly, and hummed a messy southern tune in his mouth. Autumn and summer followed suit, half a step behind him, with a rare vigilant expression on his face.
But even though she was on full alert to the situation around her, she couldn't help frowning when she heard Liang Jingmo's lyrics.
"What a two-on-one pair, you don't come to take advantage of me." She chirped, "If you bother my ears again, beware that I'll beat you to pieces here first." If a person adds a half-handicap, it is called 'half left when returning'. β
"Yo, so you're still joking." Liang Jingmo looked at her with a smile, "It's helpless to talk and sing to yourself, you have been hanging that terrifying poker face since you got off the tower, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to talk." β
"It's the most basic tension and what you're missing." Qiu Banxia went back mercilessly. Having said that, she knew that Liang Jingmo was right, compared with her usual self, she obviously lacked that unique sense of calmness at this time.
"After all, I really admire you." She sighed, "You know, the moment you sent the signal, those people were already pointing at you, and now you are at your most vulnerable. β
"Don't I still have you?" Liang Jingmo quipped, "'I'm not just thirteenth now' - this seems to be someone's big thing a while ago, isn't now the time to prove it?" β
"Please note that even if I really fight the invincible opponents in the world, it does not mean that I will be able to protect you in battle." Qiu Banxia shrugged, "But it's useless to tell you this, you're not the kind of person who is afraid of death." β
"I've won awards, I'm actually quite afraid of pain." Liang Jingmo said with a smile.
"Joke. I know you have something you're really afraid of. You're afraid of losing. β
She stopped, because Liang Jingmo in front of her also stopped.
"Yes, of course you're afraid of losing." She said lightly, "Death itself is not terrible to you, because you can't do what you have to do because of death, that's what is really unacceptable." On the other hand, if dying will ensure that you achieve your goal, then you will not hesitate to die, let alone sacrifice those inconsequential details, right? β
She raised her hand and gently shook her ring finger: "We all remember that scene in the Three Kingdoms game." β
Realizing that the "we" she was talking about also included Xiang Nanxing, and remembering how the latter recognized that technique on the tower, Liang Jingmo unconsciously pursed his lips.
But he didn't look back, and he didn't defend himself.
Seeing that he didn't react, Qiu Banxia sighed softly. "Be kind to yourself, don't always think about carrying it yourself, it's too tiring to pretend to be relaxed like this." She said, "I won't say much else, but hopefully you'll be able to live a normal life when all this is over as you want it to be β and of course, we'll have to wait until we get past the hurdle in front of us." β
Speaking of the second half of the sentence, Qiu Banxia's tone suddenly became as sharp as a blade. Liang Jingmo's heart trembled, and he turned his head to look at her, but saw a eager smile on the corner of the latter's mouth.
"It's a pity, the empty city plan you sang painstakingly has no effect on those guys who can see through people's hearts, and it still depends on me in the end." Qiu Banxia said, relaxing her shoulders and wrists, her eyes always staring at a big tree in front of her. Her back arched slightly, like a brief pause before a feline leap, and her limbs contained immeasurable explosiveness.
"The world is invincible, let's not talk about it......" A cold light flashed in Qiu Banxia's eyes, "Let's prove that I am worthy of being in the 'top three'!" β
"Wait ......"
Only then did a word faintly come from the opposite side, and the figure of Qiu Banxia had disappeared in place. Liang Jingmo only saw a black afterimage cross his field of vision in an instant, and appeared in front of the big tree in the next second. She paused, snapped, and stabbed her left fist like lightning, straight behind the tree.
The other party reacted very quickly, leaned out and grabbed a step and stretched out his hand to block, but when his hands intersected, there was only a soft "pop", but the sound was surprisingly small.
It turned out to be a false move - Liang Jingmo just reacted, and saw that Qiu Banxia had turned around, his right foot was provoked like a whip, and he kicked the opponent's temple in the gap after blocking.
In the next moment, Liang Jingmo heard a muffled "bang", which was extremely heavy, like a hammer colliding with a hammer.
"I said wait a minute, you really want my life."
Xu Wen smiled bitterly on his face, only to feel a faint pain in his raised arm. Even the blow of the "black cat" did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and he was prepared before the opponent made a move. However, if he hadn't instinctively turned back at the last minute to protect the vital point, but waited until he saw the move before blocking, then his head would probably have blossomed by this time.
Although he couldn't kill with one blow, at least it made Xu Wen's blocked hand difficult for the time being. Qiu Banxia just wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of another figure flashing by. Without hesitation, she jumped backwards and blocked in front of Liang Jingmo, and at the same time, a pistol conjured out of her waist with her left hand like lightning in her left hand, aiming it at her left front.
"Is there a third, a fourth?" Her eyes roamed between Xu Wen and the other side, and the corner of her mouth always had that excited smile, "Very good, no matter how many people come, let's go together." β
"We're not hostileβwhy don't you let me say that."
Xu Wen shook his hand, which was still a little sore, frowned and complained. He beckoned to the other side, and Liang Jingmo saw a tall, snow-white woman slowly walking out from behind the tree. She wore a black women's suit, and her left hand rested on a katana that hung diagonally from her waist. In the face of the threat of Qiu Banxia, she is still calm, obviously, this is also the "host", and the ranking is not low.
"The twenty-ninth 'White Crane' Mingliu, a master of Juhe swordsmanship." Qiu Banxia seemed to be greeting, more like affirming the speculation in Liang Jingmo's heart, "When I was on the tower, I was thinking, why it was not you, the 10,000-year-old attendant, who was beside the 'Abyss', but the trainee host." I thought you were dead. β
She smiled sweetly, but what she said was vicious. Seeing a hint of anger flashing in Naruliu's eyes, Qiu Banxia smiled even more happily.
"I said we have no hostility, you don't need to make such a low-level provocation." Xu Wen frowned.
"I'm afraid not."
Liang Jingmo said leisurely: "If there is really no hostility, why didn't you show up yourself at the beginning, and you have to wait for Banxia to do it before you are willing to stand up?" And the two people stand in a horn position separately, this really doesn't mean a pinch? β
As he spoke, his gaze gradually became sharper: "There is one more question: what about those who should be here?" β
"They went back." Xu Wen smiled, "To be precise, I asked Ming Liu to 'invite' them back." She stayed here during the time we were in the tower, waiting for the two guests. β
Qiu Banxia frowned, and immediately understood. "It's the people of the four princesses?" She turned her head and asked Liang Jingmo.
Even if there is no secret order, the mission of the "national proclamation" itself is very dangerous. At the moment when the announcement was issued, it was received not only by the people, but also by those who tried to subvert the country. They will immediately target one of the few places in China that can emit radio waves in a large area, and "Wutong" is undoubtedly the most suspicious of them. Liang Jingmo reached an agreement with Jiang Le in advance, and it was also a reasonable arrangement to borrow someone from her to meet the retreat.
"I guess at most the two hosts are 'Ice Floe' and 'Rainbow'." Liang Jingmo looked helpless, "The few people in the high positions are really on the side of the important tasks." It was the two of them who came, no wonder they would be 'persuaded' to go back by the 'twenty-ninth'. β
"It's not as easy as you think." Xu Wen shrugged, "It took a lot of effort for Mingliu to make them give up. β
"Sir said it, it's not a big job." "White Crane" Ming Liu bowed gracefully, "If I can't even pass this level, staying here will only waste the time of both parties, but the four princesses may encounter danger at any time during this period - I just want to find a way to stop them and let them understand which is more important." β
Liang Jingmo noticed at this time that there were a few marks on the back of her hands and smooth neck, and there were several traces of tears on the hem of her suit.
Just like now, if it weren't for the fact that Qiu Banxia still had the physical strength to fight them, Xu Wen would probably not choose to stand up and talk to them.
"Say, what do you want?"
Knowing that there was no hope for reinforcements, Liang Jingmo felt like he had let go of a big stone in his heart. In Liang Jingmo's gambler career, the reinforcement hole card arranged for himself this time can almost be said to be the weakest, and now it is easy to be persuaded to return by an ordinary elite-level host, which is enough to show that even if it really reaches the worst moment, this card is not useful.
He knew that another group of enemies would arrive here in the near future, and Xu Wen's attitude would play a decisive role at that time. Fortunately, the other party showed up early at this time, giving him the opportunity to negotiate with him. Judging from a series of performances on the tower, although Xu Wen is somewhat ambiguous in his attitude, at least he is not on a hostile position.
On closer thought, one of their winners and losers in a pinch-critical comeback was the shooting genius Nangong Qian. And Nangong Qian was able to rush into the battlefield above from downstairs, at least with Xu Wen's tacit approval, and his tendency can also be vaguely glimpsed from this point.
Although he still can't trust this man who can't see through it, at this moment, he may be the last hope.
It's just that Xu Wen's answer blocked the way to negotiation.
"Nothing, it doesn't matter who wins or loses, I just have to be there and see what follows. My gut tells me that you can see the best matchup possible. Xu Wen smiled slyly, "Now it seems that my appearance time is just right." β
Liang Jingmo frowned. There was undoubtedly something incomprehensible in his words, but there was no time to think or ask. Seeing Xu Wen turn sideways and look in the direction behind him, Liang Jingmo's gaze involuntarily chased after him. When he saw the face that appeared in the distance, his heart fluttered, and suddenly it beat very fast.
"It's him!" Liang Jingmo secretly exclaimed.
And Xu Wen looked at the person who had just appeared on the stage, and raised his eyebrows with anticipation.
"Very good, the actors on both sides are in place."
He clapped his palms like a front-row audience member who had waited all day for the curtain to open.
