Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Deal
Ji Yijun suddenly had the illusion of being a thief and being caught. His heart was beating nervously, his face was flushed, and fine beads of sweat instantly crawled all over his forehead.
He had wanted to make a surprise attack when the man and woman were alone, and subdue one of them in one fell swoop, so that he could have the initiative to negotiate. But now, this man is too sharp......
Ji Yijun suppressed his urge to escape from the window, took a deep breath, stabilized his trembling hand, opened the curtain with a knife, and walked out slowly.
He saw a man and a woman standing in the room looking at him. I have to say that these two are both human-looking, wearing light armor and cloaks, coupled with their tall posture and handsome facial features, they can really be described as heroic. However, for Ji Yijun's appearance, the two behaved very differently, the man made a confident appearance, and the girl was obviously taken aback.
Ji Yijun's consistent creed is that once it comes, it will be safe. Now that his face was revealed, he didn't think much more, he strode forward, dragged a chair, sat down on it, put the knife across his knees, looked up at the two and said, "It seems that you are waiting for me." Then I'm here, so let's just say anything. ”
When the blonde girl saw Ji Yijun, she was a little stunned at first, and then showed a little curiosity, her eyes kept wandering on Ji Yijun's face, but she didn't make eye contact with him, and finally retreated behind the man. The man saw Ji Yijun sitting there with a big grin, but he raised his eyebrows and sat opposite Ji Yijun.
He stared at Ji Yijun for a while, and then said, "The kid who came out behind the curtain, this is the second time we have met." Do you know that if my sister hadn't let me let you go that day, and I didn't have someone to send a letter, you would have died?"
Ji Yijun frowned, he fainted at the end of the fight, and he didn't know what happened later, but this feeling of being threatened was very bad, and he asked in a cold voice: "Do you have an opinion about me?"
As soon as the man flipped his hand, the fighting qi quickly condensed into a qi blade emitting a faint blue light between his fingers, "At that time, you fell to the ground, and my hand also stimulated the fighting qi......" He smiled, but his expression was a little cold.
"But I'm sitting here with all my tails. Ji Yijun hated this kind of high-minded tone the most, and he didn't give him a chance to finish speaking.
The man suddenly waved his hand, and the fighting spirit flew out in an instant, flying straight towards Ji Yijun's head.
Ji Yijun felt the cold hairs on his back explode, and he immediately wanted to block with a knife, but his intuition told him that this person shouldn't be a killer here, and the target of this aura seemed to be a few inches off.
He shook slightly, suppressing his impulse, but his eyes were fixed on the light that was flying in.
With a slam on the ground, the fighting spirit turned into a streamer and brushed the ends of Ji Yijun's hair and pierced into the wall of the room. Ji Yijun's face was painfully scraped by the rapid air current, and he could tell from his voice just by saying that the stone wall had been shattered into a small piece. If you go up half an inch to the left, you'll have half of your head left.
"It's so bad, it looks like you missed last time. Ji Yijun squinted and said, the knife in his hand tightened.
Ji Yijun neither blocked nor dodged, which made the man a little surprised, he didn't make any more moves, but just asked: "The kid really has some guts, are you so sure that I won't kill you?"
"I'm afraid I'm going to die, I won't be here!, you could have called the guards in and cut me. However, what I say will leave you with something. As he spoke, Ji Yijun picked up the knife, and the anger in his heart stimulated the power of the fighting spirit, and with a flash of the knife, a wooden coffee table in front of him was cut in two.
The man opposite was silent in the face of the knife light, but he crossed his legs and leaned on the back of the chair, "It seems that you have made a lot of progress, and your temper has grown." However, I like people who have a bit of a temper, and the eagle would rather fight with vultures than listen to the crows. For your sake, the events of that day are over, and now you are qualified to talk to me about some serious things. ”
Ji Yijun inserted it casually, and the knife was stabbed into the floor by him. He regained a little bit of the feeling of fighting in his body when he was crazy in the hospital that day, which gave him confidence, and even the strong man in front of him couldn't put any pressure on him. He looked up at the man and said, "Do you want to get down to business?" Okay, let's talk about the letter you stuffed on me. You warned us about the horse thieves, but together with the horse thieves sent troops to surround our place. Tell me, who are you and what do you want to do?"
"Okay. First of all, I want to introduce myself, I am Adan and this is my sister Ola. Our surnames and identities are not yet time to tell you. But as you can surely tell, we are nothing like those dirty and greedy horse thieves. My letter is only a proof of my sincerity that I want to make a deal with the magicians in the castle. The man named Adan said.
"Trade, trade, trade? To make it clear in advance, although I like to fight and kill, but I am not stupid, don't want to use any crooked brains to take advantage of us. No matter how clear you are, you can't change a fact. Your people are still stuck with the horse thieves in our school...... The outside of the castle. ”
"It was just a gesture to win the trust of the horse thief. You only need to know who we really are, and you will understand that we will never really stand with the horse thief. Adan said solemnly, "Those warriors will turn into swords piercing the body of the horse thief at any time. ”
"You're just using horse thieves, ready to stab them in the back? "Ji Yijun doesn't like such things, traitors will be used to betraying. These people betray horse thieves at this time, and they may not betray outsiders at that time.
However, as if guessing his thoughts, the other party waved his hand and said, "Please don't compare the venerable magician with the horse thief that everyone shouts about. Horse thieves are not so much our collaborators as our targets. But I really want the help of the magician. ”
"Tell me what you're asking for. ”
"Our request is simple, we need you to send at least one powerful mage and an experienced alchemist to help us explore an ancient ruin and obtain the legacy within. Adan said slowly.
"Hey, isn't that what tomb robbers do?"
"Boy, be careful what you say. This ruin was originally left by our family's ancestors, but the family broke off the magician's inheritance and could not open this ruin, so they had to go outside to find help. "In return, my warriors will fight you inside and out to destroy these horse thieves." ”
Hearing this, Ji Yijun suddenly stood up from his chair, "Then what are you waiting for? I promise you! Let your people attack the horse thief immediately." In this way, we can reduce our losses significantly. ”
Adan shook his head and said, "You seem to be just a warrior guarding the magician, and although you may be a good warrior, do the promises you made work?"
Ji Yijun was stunned, the so-called "magician" in the school was Xiao Chen, and the alchemist had a Morey to support the scene, and whether he could do what Adan said, he didn't have a score in his heart at all. However, for the sake of the teachers and classmates who might die in battle, he decided that he had to convince the person in front of him before he could do it anyway. Then he exclaimed, "Of course it works! The commander of the current confrontation is my father, who is much stronger than me, and is on an equal footing with the magicians in the castle. I am here to represent the will of the adults, and I am solely responsible for the negotiations with you. ”
Adan stared at Ji Yijun for a while, then called out to Ola who was standing next to him, and finally said, "Okay." There is no better way to prove this now. Then I will believe you once, remember, don't waste my trust, or our power will make you regret it. ”
"If there's any problem, I'll take it. As long as you send troops. Ji Yijun patted his chest and said.
Adan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes and said, "Okay, that's it." ”
When Ji Yijun saw that the other party said this, he had no follow-up, but clapped his hands and asked the attendant to bring in a few glasses of wine and snacks, and couldn't help urging: "You...... Shouldn't you call the shots and start attacking? If you're a little late here, won't a lot of people die on our side?"
"Drink this glass of wine first, and go up with me. Adan smiled and gestured upstairs.
Under the leadership of Adan, Ji Yijun followed him up to a bell tower of this house, which was about four stories high, and he could clearly see the scene of horse thieves besieging the school in the distance.
Ji Yijun took out a telescope that he carried with him, and saw that under the faint light of the torch, there were many figures shaking outside the school, it was the horse thieves who rode their horses to charge the school wall, and the night became their best reliance, so that they could avoid the rifle and crossbow shots in the school. From here, they didn't look much bigger than ants, like a nest of hungry ants flocking to a piece of bread that fell to the ground.
The horse thieves used a very extravagant siege method, they crouched on horseback, used horses as cover, rushed to the cliff of the school heights, and then dismounted and began to climb the cliff where the school was located, behind these charging groups, a large number of light horsemen, were throwing arrows into the school.
The cliffs the thieves climbed were blind spots for shooting, so most of them were able to climb the platform where the school was located, but as soon as they appeared, they were hit by the guards behind the wall, and they fell like dumplings under the bullets and crossbow arrows. It was as if there were two big hands, constantly sweeping the edge of the high ground, sweeping away all the reptiles who wanted to touch this piece of bread.
However, rifles and crossbows were still scarce, and in the darkness of the night there was a lack of accuracy, and soon some horse thieves rushed to the edge of the wall, some threw axes into the wall, some poked their short spears into the holes of the wall, and some put the canisters filled with fire oil inside and outside the wall, and the fire was burned, and the most cruel fight began.
Four or five kilometers of wilderness could not stop the spread of gunfire and human voices, but from here, the sound became a little alienated and strange, the noisy shouts of killing became faint background music, and the sound of gunfire with aftermath became the sound of drums...... Everything is a little unreal, it's like watching a play. However, Ji Yijun did not have the mentality of watching a play, he knew that his companions were bleeding every minute and every second.
He looked at Adan with some anger and puzzlement in his eyes, but the other party's expression was very calm, "I don't like this, but this is war." ”
