Chapter Seventy-One: Hesitation Before the Light
The time has not yet reached the specified time, the banquet is still ready, Qi Fei and his party have not yet become Tianjiao's distinguished guests, at this time can only stand in the distance of the hotel, waiting for time to pass.
Zheng Qiao, in order to seek great merit, took Qi Fei and his party to hide in a place that was difficult to be noticed, his desire for merit overcame his pathetic will, he quietly hovered beside Qi Fei and his party, always monitoring the surrounding situation.
Two hundred years have given him a lot of things, including various means to deal with humans, and he is confident that he can protect Qi Fei, who may be a friend of his son.
And that warrior was even closer to him, for fear that Zheng Qiao would suffer an unexpected blow.
Little by little, the sky became darker, and the empty sky unconsciously had a few bright stars. The lights were already lit up in the hotel, and the air around them was filled with a little more bloody.
I don't know when it began, and the number of merchants and warriors who came over one after another has exceeded the number of seats. Excluding the puppets who had already logged into the hotel, there were no more than thirty seats left.
In other words, there may be only fifteen groups that qualify for the seats, and of course, there are also people who can sacrifice themselves, or the warriors will not enter the hotel, or the merchants who have been invited will not enter the hotel.
It is believed that in this world, there are not many people who will refuse the temptation of youth, and there is no warrior who can resist the temptation of transcending levels.
All this makes the flame of greed more ferocious, and also makes the shackles of sin continue to continue.
Flesh and blood have become the eternal theme at this moment, and how many of those who can come here are ready to give up.
The blood-soaked dirt turned dark brown, and the broken flesh provided abundant nutrients to the trees here.
Qi Fei and Chen Tai'an's faces did not change at all, they had already recovered from their initial panic. Li Hu and Qiao Yuanquan had already returned to normal, closing their eyes and trying to get used to the gore around them.
"Suddenly, I didn't expect Qin Yutian, this little guy to be alive, this guy was so high-spirited back then, he didn't seem to be worried about his life at all. Now he is like the old man, living a miserable life. Zheng Qiao, who floated around like a ghost, let out a piercing grin, as if he was happy to find a new partner.
"Old man, think about it... Seem... There is a conflict between the Xiaofeng Group and Qin Yutian's industry. Tsk tsk. Zheng Qiao suddenly laughed, as if he had found something very interesting.
Li Hu's eyes widened and he looked at Qi Fei beside him. Here, Zheng Qiao recognized Qi Fei alone. At this time, the implication was that he wanted to give up Li Hu and his party, and at the same time allocate more resources.
If all four people were brought in, it would mean that four seats would be occupied. How can such a precious seat be given away? The old fox, who has lived for two hundred years, pointed out such an embarrassing problem at this juncture.
Suddenly, Zheng Qiao stretched out his mechanical hand, and a silver-white finger reflected the cold light.
"One person, except for Childe's friends, the old man allows you to join at most one. If you bring another one, those guys who are like the old man will go completely crazy. His mechanical eyes flashed red, even a hint of menace.
Qi Fei's face was cold, in fact, with his means, he might be able to protect the three people around him, but in this case, he would face great risks. And in order to protect a Qiao Yuanquan who had just come into contact with him, there was not much need at all.
The only thing he can bring in is Li Hu.
Just as Qi Fei was about to speak, Li Hu suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha, the old man is already open-minded, with my old body, what's the point of living for another ten or twenty years. It's better to give the opportunity to the young people now, so the old man took the lead in not qualifying. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Chen Tai'an. The descendants of the young Chen family, the old man has eaten in front of your house many times. It's okay now, this time, it's up to you. Then Li Hu retreated to Qi Fei's side and whispered, "Qi Fei, even if the old man goes in, it will just add a little trouble for you." And this kid might be able to do you a little favor. ”
When Qi Fei heard this, he nodded, although it was difficult to judge what Li Hu's considerations were, just by giving up his life span of more than ten or twenty years, it represented his open-mindedness. This move is already a hero.
Qiao Yuanquan's eyes kept flickering, the desire in his heart had turned into stormy waves, he wanted to go in, he wanted to continue his life, he wanted to get a major honor. But... But he knew that he couldn't say it, and even if he did, it didn't make any sense.
His slightly fat body kept shaking, and finally his face turned red, and he stepped aside, silent.
Chen Tai'an didn't seem to be humble or arrogant, but in fact, his hands were trembling, he looked up at Qi Fei, and found that this enemy he identified himself had paved a broad road for him.
Qi Fei shook his head, anxious in his heart, how could he think about such trivial things, and nodded casually, it can be regarded as determined.
Zheng Qiao, who was like a night owl, made a piercing electronic sound again. "Now there are five minutes left until the time, and in five minutes, you eliminators will be safe. But now the old man has to go to the vicinity of the hotel, these five minutes, asking for more blessings. ”
After speaking, Zheng Qiao rushed directly in the direction of the hotel.
Qi Fei and Chen Tai'an rose from the ground, and the real opportunity to compete for a seat kicked off at this moment.
The two of them had just been exposed on the flat avenue, which directly attracted the greedy eyes of those not far away.
One of them just wanted to pounce and sweep away a few people, but he was suddenly stunned, and then said in surprise: "Zheng Qiao? ”
I saw Zheng Qiao's sleeves wave, and scolded: "These two people, the old man is a guarantor!" ”
As soon as these words came out, many warriors who were originally ready to kill quickly put away their fists under the command of their own family masters, and they began to keep a relatively safe distance again.
Most of the people here were a little afraid of Zheng Qiao. The old monster that has been breathing for more than two hundred years has a heritage that others can't match.
Qi Fei looked around and found that there were still more than twenty people left, either businessmen representing the family, or warriors employed by the family. They have a hateful face, and they have obviously been through several fights. The reason why we keep our distance now is that we are helpless with each other. There is an eerie balance between everyone.
The slightest carelessness on one side could break the balance and trigger an even more terrifying battle.
Zheng Qiao appeared with Qi Fei and Chen Tai'an, obviously breaking the deadlock at this time. At the same time, everyone also knew that Zheng Qiao was not easy to deal with, so that an even more strange balance was reached.
Chen Tai'an lowered his head at this time, his eyes showed a special arrogance, and he found that his brother Chen Taiping, who was always pressing his head, was standing in the distance at the moment, bathed in blood.
He didn't realize that his ever-proud brother's face was now filled with incomprehensible fear.
Because, at this time, Chen Taiping saw the strong man he could never surpass.
