Chapter Seventy-Five: Grudges
Bai Huanyu's method was undoubtedly the most reasonable solution at the moment, and Shen Mo and Lin Xuanqing both acquiesced to Bai Huanyu's proposal.
When Lin Xuanqing was leaving, she glared at Shen Mo, although she didn't say anything, but her eyes told everyone how much she hated Shen Mo, and the reason was nothing more than because Shen Mo beat his own team members, and let the Saibeilong Mercenary Group and the Black Tiger Mercenary Group share the five-star mission, which is not only a bounty for Lin Xuanqing's mercenary group, but more importantly, face.
Marita playfully poked her finger into the silent ribs and said with a coquettish smile: "It seems that you have successfully formed a second enemy." ”
"Who's the first one?" Shen Mo frowned slightly, puzzled.
Marita chuckled: "Of course it's the Ma Qiang who was taught in the academy just now." ”
Forehead......
Silent for a while, as the saying goes, it is better to settle the grievances than to tie the knot, this is the first day I came to the royal city, I have formed two enemies, and the days in the royal city will definitely not be peaceful in the future, and then I think of the great god Shen Batian in front of me, and I can't help but have two big heads for a while.
That's it, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth.
Lin Xuanqing's departure did not restore calm to the atmosphere of the mercenary union, and the mercenaries focused all their attention on Shen Mo and began to speculate about Shen Mo's origin, after all, Bai Huanyu could be courteous to him, and he would never be an ordinary person.
Before coming to Wangcheng, the third uncle had warned himself that he must keep a low profile, otherwise attracting the attention of the Shen family would have unimaginable consequences. At this moment, looking at the complicated eyes of the mercenaries around him, it has obviously become the focus of today; in order to avoid making things bigger, he silently turned his head to look at Bai Huanyu: "Didn't you ask me to come to you? ”
Bai Huanyu smiled slightly: "Follow me." ”
Just when Shen Mo was about to leave with Bai Huanyu, he suddenly heard someone behind him calling him, and turned around to see that it was Wu Wei.
Although Wu Wei was grateful to Shen Mo for winning the qualification for a five-star mission for their mercenary group, because his mercenary group had never taken on such a high-level task, coupled with the competition from Lin Xuanqing's mercenary group, his face was a little ugly, and he said with a little embarrassment: "Shen Mo, I have a reluctant request." ”
"What's the matter? I can help if I can. Shen Mo replied without thinking.
"Although I don't know why your strength has grown so fast, but you defeated Wu Kai with one blow just now, which means that your strength has reached the Spirit Sea Realm, and our mercenary group is lacking such a strong person. ”
"You mean to let me join your Black Tiger Mercenary Regiment?" asked the silent words straight to the point.
Wu Wei shook his head again and again, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I, Wu Wei, still have self-knowledge, with your amazing growth potential, how can the small temple of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group accommodate you, a great god, one day you will fly into the sky, turn into a dragon, and be proud of the common people; ”
According to the silent character, friends are in difficulty, so they naturally stick a knife in their ribs, and it is incumbent on them, but the Hundred Courtyard Martial Arts Competition is approaching day by day, and according to what Marita said, things like solving the corpse poison and exterminating the corpse tide are very troublesome, plus the long-distance travel, I don't know how long it will take to complete the road, if the Hundred Courtyards martial arts fight is delayed, it will be worth the loss.
Seeing Shen Mo hesitating, Wu Wei hurriedly said: "I just said casually, it doesn't matter if you don't help, I can let the head of the regiment spend money to hire a powerful mercenary." ”
Silently knew that Wu Wei was thinking about himself, and he didn't want to embarrass himself, and he was grateful in his heart;
And just as Shen Mo was about to reject Wu Wei's request, Bai Huanyu next to him interjected at this time: "You should help him." ”
"What are you for?" was silent.
Bai Huanyu's shrewd and wise eyes bloomed with a glint of light: "There is still a period of time before the Hundred Courtyards martial arts, if you go to help him, it is equivalent to a disguised experience, it is better than killing time in the royal city with nothing to do; ”
Shen Mo knew that the 'attention' in Bai Huanyu's mouth referred to the people of the Shen family; as she said, if she left the royal city for a period of time, she could indeed avoid contact with the people of the Shen family, and she would be much safer; but after thinking about it, what if she couldn't come back in time? Wouldn't it be self-defeating?
The shrewd Bai Huanyu seemed to see Shen Ming's worries, and said with confidence: "Don't worry, the royal city is only five days away from Heishui Village, and ten days for a round trip is enough, and with your strength and this amazing woman beside you, it is not difficult to exterminate the corpse tide." ”
When Bai Huanyu said this, her eyes looked at Marita, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Indeed, with Marita's anti-heaven existence that can be thousands of miles away with a single fire, it doesn't take too much effort to exterminate the corpse tide; under the rights and interests of the left and right, he felt that there was no harm in helping Wu Wei, so he responded silently, and discussed with Wu Wei, and met at the door of the mercenary union tomorrow, and then discussed the details.
Subsequently, Shen Mo followed Bai Huanyu into the backyard of the mercenary union, avoiding the mercenaries who were eyeing him, and felt that his body and mind were suddenly much calmer.
Bai Huanyu sent all the servants back, and the silence also made Marita wait in the backyard, and then under the leadership of Bai Huanyu, she entered the West Garden, which was full of exotic flowers and plants, and the fragrance was incomparable.
There was a gazebo in the west garden, and a set of cups and utensils was placed on the stone table, as if it had long expected the silence to come, and the teapot on it was still steaming.
Bai Huanyu poured a cup of tea for Shen Mo, put the teapot aside, supported his chin with one hand, and tilted his body slightly, looking lazy but actually charming: "Do you know what I asked you to come to me for?"
Although Bai Huanyu's subordinates didn't say the reason, Shen Mo also guessed seven or eight points, and immediately said: " You came to me, it must be because you know my identity, and let me come to you in the royal city for the first time, and it must be because you know the grievances between me and the current patriarch of the Shen family, Shen Batian; Shen Batian's status in the royal city can be said to be above ten thousand people under one person, and even His Majesty knows that he is an unruly lone wolf, difficult to tame, but he still treats him with courtesy, and does not dare to tear his face easily; a person like him, stomp a foot, the whole royal city trembles, he wants to kill me with just one sentence, and his minions will flock to him. ”
Speaking of this, Shen Mo paused for a moment, and looked at Bai Huanyu with deep meaning: "And you, but you committed a crime against the wind, knowing that Shen Batian regarded me as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and wanted to kill him quickly, but you still secretly asked me to come to you, if my guess is right, I am afraid that there is only one purpose, I want to join my forces and get rid of Shen Batian!"
At first, Bai Huanyu's face was very calm, but after listening to Shen Mo's inference, the more he listened, the more frightened he became, and the more he listened, the more excited he became.
"Beautiful! I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful at such a young age, and you can deduce my motives from just a few words, hehehe, it seems that I pinned my hopes on you, and there is nothing wrong with that. ”
Bai Huanyu's praise did not make Shen Mo feel the slightest joy, but his face became calm and serious: "Do you think that with the strength of you and me, you can defeat Shen Batian?"
"Of course not. Bai Huanyu replied bluntly and silently.
"As you said, even His Majesty today doesn't dare to make a move on Shen Batian easily, not only because of his strong strength, but also because of the Shen family in his hands. Let's put it this way, the Shen family is a direct clansman alone, there are more than a hundred people, and the strength of each of them is above the Spirit Sea Realm, and Shen Batian and several of his brothers are unfathomable, and some people even speculate that they have reached the True Dao Realm. If you want to destroy the Shen family, it is equivalent to directly starting a war with a kingdom. ”
Shen Mo said lightly: "Since you know the Tao so clearly, you are still trying to defeat Shen Batian?"
Bai Huanyu stretched out his index finger like a jade onion and shook it: "The Shen family is not a seamless egg, Shen Batian can control the Shen family, it is completely by virtue of his iron and bloody wrists and his supporters, in the Shen family, there are still many people who oppose Shen Batian as the patriarch." ”
Speaking of this, Bai Huanyu took a deep breath, and a trace of sympathy flashed in his eyes: "Back then, your father was one of those who opposed Shen Batian as the patriarch. ”
Shen Mo had never figured out one thing before, that is, Shen Batian wanted to kill his father for something, after all, his father was his own brother. Now listening to Bai Huanyu's words, Shen Mo couldn't help but think in his heart, could it be that because his father opposed Shen Batian as the patriarch, Shen Batian would kill chickens and make an example of monkeys?
In order to confirm his conjecture, Shen Mo asked, "It is also for this reason that Shen Batian killed my father?"
Bai Huanyu shook his head: "Your father's death is full of mysteries, it is by no means so simple......;
Bai Huanyu seemed to want to say something, but the words stopped when they reached his mouth, his head was slightly lowered, his eyes rolled, as if he was thinking in his heart, and after a while, he seemed to have made a great determination, and continued: "Before your father died, it was rumored that the demon clan had opened the passage to the world, and it was very likely that it would come to the world again and set off a bloody storm; ”
"I suspect that your father's death is likely inextricably linked to the Demon Clan. ”
Hearing this, Shen Mo lowered his head and thought for a moment, and blurted out: "It may also be Shen Batian's plan to kill three birds with one stone." ”
"What do you mean?" Bai Huanyu frowned, his eyes shot into silence, and asked.
