Chapter Twenty-Three: The Last Straw That Broke the Camel's Burden
Chapter Twenty-Three: The Last Straw That Broke the Camel's Burden
When Moge and Ning Tianyu came to the gate of the barracks, they happened to bump into Ning Meng, who had just left the front outside the city and returned to the barracks to rest. When Ning Meng saw Ning Tianyu appear in the barracks, and saw her look like she wanted to speak and stopped, the anger in her heart instantly rose.
"Ning Tianyu, you ......" The moment she saw Ning Tianyu, Ning Meng opened her mouth and roared.
"Stinky girl, don't yell. ”
It's just that before Ning Meng could completely shout out these words, a deep and familiar voice came from Ning Tianyu's side.
Ning Meng looked at it when she heard it, but saw Ning Ming, who had a faint smile on her face, looking at her with reproachful eyes.
"Teacher, why are you here?"
Ning Meng's eyes widened and stared at Ning Ming's slightly vicissitudes of life, afraid that she would recognize the wrong person for a while, but the familiar smile on the other party's face, the eyes and voice that she hadn't seen for many years, all proved that this person was the teacher Ning Ming who had followed Ning Meng since she was a child, always protected her safety, and taught her Douqi cultivation experience.
Although Ning Ming's identity is just a personal guard beside the former eldest lady of the Ning family, in Ning Meng's heart, Ning Ming will always be her teacher. No matter how many years have passed, Ning Ming has an extraordinary meaning that will never change.
Ning Ming is not only Ning Meng's vindictive enlightenment teacher, but also has saved her in danger many times, and is one of the only elders who really cherishes her and dotes on her.
Ning Ming is in Ning Meng's heart, and he is also a master and a father.
Therefore, when Ning Meng saw Ning Ming's figure, her feelings of sluggishness, surprise and joy were incomprehensible.
"What, I'm not welcome to come?" Hearing this, Ning Ming smiled slightly.
"No, no, I'm just curious, teacher, why did you suddenly come to Blue Ear City, and Ning Tianyu, why did he come with him? At this moment, the beast tide has broken out, and with the outbreak of the beast tide, the fierce attacks of the demon beast army have continued one after another, and Blue Ear City will become more and more dangerous. As she spoke, Ning Meng also turned her head and glared at Ning Tianyu, so frightened that Ning Tianyu hid behind Merge who was standing aside.
"Okay, I'll explain the details to you later. I took the initiative to apply to the head of my family for this visit to Blue Ear City. Five years ago, when you first came to Blue Ear City, when Blue Ear City was in the midst of the beast tide, I applied to the head of the family to come and protect your safety, but the head of the family did not agree, and even sent me to a farther place to prevent me from coming to Blue Ear City to find you. ”
Ning Ming's eyes were filled with pity, "Last time, it scared me. ”
Hearing Teacher Ning Ming's concern, Ning Meng blushed a little and buttoned the corners of her clothes, how could she not hear that Teacher Ning Ming still blames her for leaving the family in a fit of anger.
However, this blame, which lasted for many years, also made Ning Meng feel a long-lost warmth.
When she left her family alone and came to the dangerous border city, she had never informed Teacher Ning Ming, and Ning Meng had always felt guilty. And from this point of view, Ning Ming is not very worried, Ning Meng, who is like his daughter, will not be uncomfortable when she comes to a strange city alone, and will she be in danger.
Therefore, Ning Ming's words, although he was only very calm, were expounding on what had happened. But with Ning Meng's intelligence and her understanding of Teacher Ning Ming, the teacher, who was already a quiet teacher, has already integrated everything she wants to express in the past five years, whether it is worry or blame, into these simple words and stated it.
Since Ning Meng left the family in a fit of anger and severed ties with the Ning family, in the dangerous border city of Blue Ear City, she has struggled from an ordinary soldier all the way to become the current commander of the Fire Fist Battalion.
In the past five years, except for Ning Tianyu who secretly ran out of the family to visit him, no one in the family has ever come to visit him, even if he asked someone to bring a word of concern, he has never been.
How could Ning Meng, who had not been in the world for a long time, not complain, but Ning Meng knew in her heart that leaving the family was her own decision, and she always had to bear all the responsibility and ups and downs for her decision. After leaving the Ning family, although her life was difficult, she never regretted it.
Although Ning Meng, who is strong, has thick nerves and giggles all day long, in the short and long five years, only she knows the grievances and sufferings big and small.
Seeing his words, Ning Meng's eyes were a little red, and Ning Ming, who walked in front of Ning Meng, patted her head and said softly: "It's okay, as long as it's your decision, Uncle Ming is supportive, Uncle Ming is just a little worried about your safety." ”
"Look, our little lemon has become a big lemon, and that little girl is also a big girl in a blink of an eye. The height has grown from a small point to such a tall one. However, Uncle Ming's little Ning Meng is still so beautiful. ”
Hearing this, Ning Meng grabbed her long dark blonde hair, she was already open-minded and cheerful, but at this moment, her face had thrown away the dark clouds and a bright smile appeared. And the complex emotions such as grievances and exhaustion that arose just now also dissipated in Ning Meng's smile.
With the friendship between Merge and Ning Meng, Merge certainly understood how complex Ning Meng's emotions were in just a few seconds. Seeing that Ning Meng and the two were talking in a low voice, Merge shook his head, Ning Meng, the female tyrannosaurus, was a temper to herself and others, strong and stubborn.
However, among the people present, Ning Tianyu was the most restless at the moment. When Ning Tianyu, who had just emerged from behind Merge, saw Ning Meng, who was talking happily with Ning Ming, suddenly turned his head and glared at him, Ning Tianyu trembled with fright, and hurriedly hid behind Merge again.
Merge turned his head to look at Ning Tianyu who was hiding behind him, and saw Ning Meng's angry gaze, so he spread his hands helplessly, pouting his lips to indicate that he didn't know.
It wasn't until Ning Ming, who was beside Ning Meng, explained to her that Ning Meng's angry gaze moved away from Ning Tianyu. However, although Ning Meng occasionally looked at Ning Tianyu's eyes and eased a little under Ning Ming's explanation, she could still see from the face she pulled down that she was not in a very good mood at the moment.
After half a ring, Ning Meng and Ning Ming walked towards Merge and his party.
"I'll forgive you this time, but from now on you can't leave the barracks for a single step, and it's best to stay in the house for half a step. Ning Meng's face was gloomy, and she twisted the flesh on Ning Tianyu's arm vigorously, and Ning Tianyu howled.
"And you Ning Ling, you are not allowed to leave Tianyu for half a step, all the time. ”
As soon as Ning Meng's gaze shifted to Ning Ling, Ning Tianyu lost no time in hurriedly pulling out his arm, escaping from Ning Meng's clutches, and hiding behind Merge again.
"Yes, Miss...... Oh no, it's Camp Commander Ning. Seeing Ning Meng's gaze, Ning Ling's face was a little stiff and trembling.
"Sister, isn't it, all the time? Isn't that why I go to the toilet, and Uncle Ning Ling will follow me?" Ning Tianyu, who was hiding behind Merge, poked his head out and pouted when he heard the words.
"All the time!"
Seeing Ning Meng's expression that this matter was not negotiable, Ning Tianyu's face became very ugly, and he lowered his head and rubbed the hot meat on his arm, not daring to say anything more. Because he knew his sister Ning Meng's character very well, Ning Tianyu also knew that there was indeed no room for negotiation in this matter.
"Can I follow Merge?" Ning Tianyu hesitated in his heart, but still asked without giving up.
"Can't!"
Before Ning Meng could answer, Merge shook his head and vetoed Ning Tianyu's proposal first.
In the next beast tide, Merge also has a lot to do. Not to mention that in the later stage of the Beast Tide, everyone in Blue Ear City had to participate in the battle against the invasion of the Beast Tide, and the damaged battle armor of the front-line soldiers in the Beast Tide alone was enough for Merge to be busy for a while. Where will Merge have extra time to take care of Ning Tianyu?
After all, Blue Ear City, a low-level frontier city jointly managed by various associations and the military, does not even exist as a city lord level noble, and Blue Ear City, which is located on the border, not only has a lot of wars, but also extremely few talents. In particular, the number of alchemists on the mainland is already scarce, let alone in a remote and dangerous border city like Blue Ear City.
If there are no nobles at the city lord level, the associations that reside in Blue Ear City will be responsible for managing the members of the associations within them. The rest of the low-ranking nobles, chambers of commerce, and commoners were all under the jurisdiction of the city garrison.
However, the members of the association who stop in a low-level border city like Blue Ear City are all recruited from Blue Ear City, and the number of talented members is very small.
In Blue Ear City, people from middle and high cities, except for the chambers of commerce that value the resources of the Troll Mountain Range, and the low-level nobles who can't get along in the high cities, are some adventurers, hunters, and commoners who come and go in and out of the city. At the same time, it also leads to the fact that there are only a handful of intermediate alchemists in the Alchemist Association in Blue Ear City, and there are only a few intermediate alchemists in the Alchemist Association in Blue Ear City, and the people are not in Blue Ear City.
Counting intermediate alchemists like Merge, who do not belong to the Alchemist Association, there are only three intermediate alchemists who actually exist in Blue Ear City.
Therefore, after the beast tide comes, the number of cumbersome things that need to be done by Moge can be imagined.
What's more, with Merge's understanding of Ning Tianyu, with Ning Tianyu's mouth that would feel uncomfortable if he was closed for a few minutes, if he was allowed to follow Merge, it was estimated that it would not take him half a day, and Merge would be annoyed to death by this chatter.
Therefore, Merge did not hesitate to veto Ning Tianyu's proposal at the first time.
............
"Mr. Merge has arrived at the barracks. ”
In the conference hall of the barracks, a soldier reported to Taihu and the others at the request of Merge.
"Take Mr. Merge to the camp where the battle armor is repaired, and let the low-level alchemists and alchemy apprentices in the barracks actively cooperate with Mr. Merge's guidance to repair the battle armor. Hearing this, Taihu nodded, "In addition, vacate a separate courtyard for Mr. Merge to live in." ”
"Yes!" the soldier bowed.
"I'm going to see that stinky boy, and by the way, I'll put him next door to the courtyard where I live. ”
Hearing that Merge had come to the barracks, Oriel, who was swallowing the clouds, sat up, and a pair of small eyes flashed with an interesting light.
"You bad old man, don't make trouble for other guys. On the side, Gong Yong, who was dressed in a black robe, scolded with a smile.
However, Olaire obviously didn't hear Gong Yong's words, and before Gong Yong's words could be finished, Oleer's figure disappeared into the conference hall.
"Go down too. Seeing that Oleel disappeared in the blink of an eye as if he had seen some treasure, Taihu smiled helplessly and waved his hand, and said to the soldier who received the order.
