Chapter 135: A Fool's Determination
The rainbow is more beautiful after the storm, and the sky is clearer after the dark clouds. In this way, the incident in the West Capital was quelled, and the general Bill strictly investigated everyone in the West Capital government, and arrested many spies, and a very small number of them escaped. All in all, the current western capital, after a thorough investigation by the world coalition government and the military, is much purer, and the hidden dangers have been temporarily eliminated to a minimum. However, this incident is so big, the above will always ask questions, and Bill also knows that there are some things that cannot be hidden. Therefore, he decided to personally escort Laura's captive to him, Enin, and go to the headquarters of Mezdal to make a detailed report on the incident, and before leaving, he repeatedly told Gulliver, who stayed behind, to strengthen his guard in case of any further accidents.
In his report to the military leadership and the presidential council, he magnified the affairs of the rebel army as much as possible, in order to protect Zhu Ping'an, Zhu Ping'an and his party barely mentioned this incident, but only said that some remnants of the Demon King Army were involved in this matter and helped exterminate the terrorists of the rebel army. As for the final result of this incident, only two words were used: "unknown." "It means that this matter is over, you don't need to investigate it anymore, and everything is back on track.
After the debriefing, Bill took a short break and went to see Field Marshal Sam and asked about the other general's calories, hoping to find out where the calories were and what he was concerned about.
Sam briefly met with Bill, and affirmed his work, about calories just lightly told Bill that Calories was on a special mission, for some reason, so it was to be kept secret from the outside world for the time being, but it would be completed soon to return, and it would not take too long to see him, and the other generals also had their own assigned jobs, in short, it was a perfunctory formality.
On the other hand, Zhu Ping'an and his party came to the secret base in the mountains where the old department of the Six Roads was stationed, that is, the territory of the White Tiger Legion, and after Reeves' treatment and a night's rest, everyone was confirmed to be safe and sound at dawn.
After Zhu Ping'an woke up, the first thing he saw was Laura who hadn't slept all night and stayed by his side.
"Are you awake?" asked Laura, yawning, spurting herself up, smiling at An who opened her eyes.
"This is?" Zhu Ping'an wanted to sit up, but his arms were weak, sore, numb and painful, and his two bandaged hands were just holding the edge of the bed and were in such pain, Laura hurriedly went over to help him when he saw this.
"We are safe for the time being, this is one of the bases of Lord Liudao back then, and it is also the secret stronghold of Lord White Tiger now, and outsiders can't find it here. Laura helped Zhu Ping'an to sit up, pressed the button next to the bed, and folded the bed remotely to make Ping'an sit up straight and feel comfortable.
Ping An looked down at the clothes on his body, which had been changed into a loose type, and the wounds on his body had been bandaged, and then he knew that he was completely safe, and then asked, "How are the others?"
"The two adults, Xuanwu and Suzaku, haven't woken up yet, but after receiving treatment, they are no longer in serious trouble, but they are just a little overworked. Laura told Ping.
"Laura, it doesn't matter if you're injured, I remember when the spaceship fell, didn't you?" Zhu Ping'an recalled the scene of the spaceship just falling in his mind.
"Oh, that's right, Lord Xuanwu used his backup energy to ensure that the medical system was able to treat me. Later, we walked out of the spaceship, came to Baita Village, met the old village chief there, when they learned that we were partners with you, they welcomed us, and enthusiastically helped us, and found a lot of equipment and materials for us, although it was dilapidated and simple, but with the skills and skills of Lord Xuanwu, the spaceship was quickly repaired and resumed operation, and after we learned the truth of the matter from their mouths, they rushed to the West Capital to meet you. Laura gave Ping An a brief account of what she had experienced since their separation.
"It's really messy!" Zhu Ping'an looked at Laura's face with a smile, already knowing her intentions.
At this moment, a soldier under the White Tiger rang the doorbell.
"Come in!" said Laura, who heard the voice, turning back.
The soldier pressed the button on the side of the door, the electronic door slowly opened, he stood there, and said respectfully to the two people inside: "Two adults, Lord White Tiger asked me to see if you have woken up, he has sent someone to prepare breakfast, please go and eat." ”
"How's that, peace, is your body okay? If not, I'll have them bring breakfast. Laura said goodbye.
"There was still a slight tingling sensation in my hands, but the fatigue was gone, and I wanted to go down and stretch, and my stomach was a little hungry. Ping An smiled at Laura, saying that he was fine.
Then, Laura helped Ping An to the ground, Ping An said that there was no problem, and seeing that Ping An had indeed recovered well, Laura was relieved.
"Laura, I see that you haven't slept all night, plus the continuous battle, it must be very hard, why don't you take a good rest first, I will ask them to bring you food later, I will accompany you and watch you eat. Ping An even said such sensual words, which is really rare, and it also shows that the relationship between Ping An and Laura has been completely determined.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Laura said shyly, obediently lying on the bed, and closed her eyes beautifully.
"Take me to the restaurant, I just have something to discuss with Mr. White Tiger. Ping An said to the soldier.
"Yes, please come with me. The soldier nodded in reply, and with that, he turned to lead the way, and Ping An followed behind......
Laura, who was drowsy and half awake, was suddenly woken up: "Laura, Laura, where is Ping An?"
Laura opened her eyes, and it turned out that standing in front of her bed were Xuanwu with empty arms and Suzaku with bandages on their heads.
"Lord Xuanwu, Lord Suzaku, is he going to see Lord White Tiger in peace?" Laura sat up and replied to Xuanwu and Suzaku.
"How long have you been there?" asked Xuanwu.
Laura looked up at the clock display on the electronic wall and replied, "It's been an hour, and it stands to reason that I'm supposed to be back." ”
Xuanwu and Suzaku glanced at each other, their expressions became solemn, and they blurted out in unison: "It's broken!" After speaking, the two of them didn't look back, and ran out of the door like a gust of wind.
"What's going on, what's going on?" Suzaku and Xuanwu ran out in a panic, and Laura couldn't sit still, so she quickly jumped off the bed, put on her shoes and followed.
Soon they arrived at the dining room, only to find it empty, only one attendant tidying up, and the hearty breakfast on the table showed no trace of being touched.
"Where did Baihu and Zhu Ping'an go?" Xuanwu hurriedly went over and asked the attendant.
"The two adults went to the observation deck at the back together. The squire replied.
Xuanwu knows that place, that observation deck is also an observatory, and sometimes it is used as an apron, the two of them must have felt that things are very important when they go to such an empty place to talk, and more importantly, Xuanwu knows the temper of the white tiger, if he wants to accept someone's opinions and requests, there is only one way, and that is the most dangerous way.
Sure enough, when Xuanwu, Suzaku and Laura came to the observation deck, they found Zhu Ping'an and Baihu standing there motionless, and the ground was already full of potholes and various cracks.
Zhu Ping'an gasped, his breathing was obviously not so even, and hot sweat flowed from his nose and sideburns.
"Do you have to fight?" asked Zhu Ping'an as he turned to the white tiger opposite.
"That's right, that's my style, and for me to accept you, you have to get my approval. After Bai Hu finished speaking, he took a step forward, stretched out the index finger of his right hand, and shook it: "I repeat it again, you are not allowed to use the abilities and tricks of the six masters, I want you to use your own strength to prove it." ”
"I don't have a reason to fight with you, I just hope to get your help, I have the same goal with you, different wishes, the power of one person is limited, but when we are united, we can make a difference, Mr. Xuanwu is like this, and Mr. Suzaku is like this, so I hope that Mr. White Tiger can also get rid of his previous suspicions, I am not talking about using each other, but hoping for one more like-minded partner. "Zhu Ping'an hopes to persuade the White Tiger not to engage in unnecessary fights.
"It's useless, if you want the white tiger to agree, you must prove it to him with your strength, he has always been such a guy, this is the white tiger known as the fierce star, everything is judged by the battle as the only criterion, and the warrior who firmly believes that only strength can achieve the goal. Suzaku saw this scene and explained on the side.
"However, Ping An has just woken up, and his body has not yet recovered. Laura is very worried about Ping'an's body, and she also knows the strong strength of the white tiger, so she is afraid that something will happen to Ping'an.
After she finished speaking, she involuntarily wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Xuanwu as soon as he stretched out his hand. Xuanwu turned around and said to her solemnly: "Although we don't want this to be such a scene, but this is a test that Ping An must go through, if he hopes to get more people's recognition and help, some things must be tried in person, to fight, to cross this hurdle, there will be a greater possibility of success." ”
Xuanwu said as he put his hand down and looked at Zhu Ping'an with his eyes: "If he really dies here, it means that he is really only to this extent, it is God's destiny to doom him, and it will also be our doomed failure." ”
After listening to Xuanwu's words, Laura also understood the truth, so she had to silently pray for peace in her heart. And although Xuanwu and Suzaku were serious and absolute, they were also waiting and watching, and at the same time they were ready to rescue Zhu Ping at a critical moment.
"Maybe you will say that I am selfish, maybe you will say that I just want to use you, no matter what, I must get your approval and support, only in this way can I gather enough strength to fight against the bottomless darkness, even if there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up easily, because there are too many people behind me who put hope, equality, Freedom and happiness are loaded on me as a bet, and even have paid for it with precious lives, these chips make this burden very heavy, heavy and heavy, so heavy that I almost can't breathe, but fortunately there is a group of sincere partners who are willing to share it for me, so I have to grit my teeth and persevere, not for the ultimate dream, but I have no reason and can no longer make them sad and disappointed. Zhu Ping'an stubbornly raised his head to look at the white tiger and said his true feelings, when he seemed to see the images of the four orcs who had been sacrificed, the images of Vincent, Blu-ray, and Fluttershy, the images of the friends he met in the arena, the images of the children in the church, the images of the villagers of the White Tower, and the images of his grandfather and parents.
"So, are you just trying to defeat me with a mouth?" the white tiger seemed indifferent to Zhu Ping'an's words.
"I just want to tell you, I want you to know what I really think and get your approval, as for strength or anything, that's not the point, the point is my determination. When Zhu Ping'an said this, his eyes lit up suddenly, as if he had hit two sharp flashes, not only the white tiger, but even the people around him noticed this strange change.
"Then you will prove it to me!" the white tiger roared and rushed towards Zhu Ping'an.
"Oh no, the injury on Ping'an's arm hasn't healed yet, if you force the White Tiger-sama's bursting fist, your arm will definitely be shattered!" Laura was shocked, and Xuanwu and Suzaku also realized this, and instantly became nervous.
However, who would have thought that Zhu Ping'an, who rushed towards the white tiger, did not swing his fist, but hit the white tiger with his head.
Seeing this scene, the white tiger said in his heart: "Fool, it's too messy, I will smash your head with one punch!" Thinking of this, the fist wind turned and went straight to Zhu Ping'an's head: "The tiger bursts"
Just when the white tiger's fist was about to hit Zhu Ping'an, and the word "fist" had not yet been spoken, Zhu Ping'an's feet kicked the ground, and the whole person was fired like a cannonball, the speed was extremely fast, the white tiger's fist was empty, Zhu Ping'an drilled from under his fist, only to hear a "bang", Zhu Ping'an's forehead hit the white tiger's chin, and the white tiger was knocked to the ground. It turns out that the human jaw is one of the weakest parts of the human body to resist blows, and a force of 5 kilograms hitting the jaw of an ordinary person can make a person unconscious. Although the white tiger is not an ordinary person, his jaw is also relatively fragile. Originally, the white tiger was disdainful of Zhu Ping'an's state, and the precautions were not in place, but he didn't expect Zhu Ping'an to make such a strange move, coupled with Zhu Ping'an's copper hammer empowerment attached to the true qi, a spirit as strong as the white tiger would have to be in a coma in an instant. However, Zhu Ping'an, who used this trick, also fell to the ground due to exhaustion and was unable to move. The people present were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped, but they didn't expect this to be the result.
"Fool, what a mess!" even Laura began to complain.
"Why do I think there's something wrong with the atmosphere?" Suzaku said, turning to Xuanwu.
"It doesn't seem too serious!" Xuanwu laughed as well.
"What a fool!" was the unanimous evaluation of Ping An......
When Zhu Ping'an woke up, he found that the white tiger and everyone were by his side.
Seeing Ping An wake up, Laura hurriedly helped him up and asked with concern, "Ping An, how do you feel?"
"I don't have anything. Ping An covered his head with his hands, and there was still a faint ache in that place.
"Fool, what a mess!" said Laura, laughing and grumbling, and Ping An smiled embarrassedly.
At this moment, the white tiger walked over and looked at Zhu Ping'an, Ping'an also looked at him, and the people around him were silent, all quietly waiting for the result between them. After a long time, the white tiger spoke: "One of my four spirit generals, the White Tiger Guard, do what you say, you win me, you are my master!"
Zhu Ping'an was shocked, and hurriedly got up to help the white tiger, the white tiger refused to get up at first, but he was embarrassed to refute his master's face, so he got up, but he didn't expect to get up at the moment, due to the safety of the force too strong, the white tiger got up quickly, and was caught off guard for a while, and the white tiger's head hit Ping'an's chin impartially. This time, it was I who fainted and wished peace.
"Peace!" shouted Laura.
"Master!" the white tiger also panicked.
Xuanwu and Suzaku looked at each other and had nothing to say......
And they shall have peace and well, and they shall go back to rest. The white tiger came to the observation deck alone, looked down, the scenery was in full view, and said to himself: "It seems that it's time to leave here!"
Behind him, Xuanwu walked over slowly, looked at the back of the white tiger, and said to him, "Didn't you release water in the battle just now?"
The white tiger turned his head, glanced at Xuanwu, then turned his head to look down the mountain, and replied, "How could it be? Actually, before I was defeated, I had already lost?"
"Lost?" Xuanwu wondered, not understanding what it meant.
"Yes, lost to his determination," the white tiger recalled the resoluteness and persistence in Ping'an's eyes. "It's those eyes that remind me of the Six Realms. ”
