Chapter 4 The Praying Mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind
Qingchengzi didn't answer, but stared at the girl silently for a long time, and the girl suddenly felt that the strength of her whole body seemed to be suddenly drained in an instant, and even the strength to breathe seemed to be gone, and the feeling of almost suffocation made her heart feel fear that she had never felt before. The moment Qingchengzi took her eyes off her, the girl finally breathed a sigh of relief as if the plane had landed safely. He didn't dare to mention the book in his hand again, but obediently placed it carefully in its original position, and hurriedly turned around and fled back to the kitchen as if he had seen a ghost, and a faint smile appeared on Qingchengzi's face.
Is this familiar breath?
A faint smile had just slowly emerged on Qing Chengzi's handsome face, and his brows furrowed rapidly because of the sudden familiarity. But soon this serious expression was replaced by a calm and indifferent expression, Qingchengzi looked at the crowd outside the window as usual, but he cursed secretly in his heart.
Damn! I've been following for so long, and I haven't given up! It looks like this place can't stay any longer.
Thinking that he was now in a big city, Qingchengzi's head began to hurt again, because he knew very well what terrible consequences would be brought to the blatant use of flying in a big city. Intelligence agents from various countries who have been looking for him for many years will get his information as soon as possible, and he can use his flying skills leisurely and calmly in rural towns, it is entirely because of the backward development there. But the big cities are different, in each big city, not to mention how many spy intelligence personnel of the three kingdoms will lurk, the defense and monitoring system in the big city alone has a huge area covering most of the city. Now the western restaurant where he works happens to be in the center of this big city, and the density of the security and surveillance system has definitely reached a more terrifying level.
If Qingchengzi wasn't a wanted criminal in the Three Kingdoms, he wouldn't care so much about the guards and technological facilities that didn't pose any threat to him at all, these things were as weak as ants in Qingchengzi's eyes, and a mid-level range-type magic could bring devastating damage to the city he was in. What really worries him is the national strength of the three kingdoms, although in terms of strength, Qingchengzi is confident that his strength has reached a very high height, but compared with the core strength of the three kingdoms, it is still as small as the rivers and lakes compared to the sea. It's not that Qingchengzi deliberately belittled his strength, it's just that tens of thousands of years of fugitive life have made him deeply realize that "there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky." The true meaning of this sentence.
After thinking about it so much in his heart, in fact, only a few seconds had passed, and for a master like Qing Chengzi, his speed of thinking had already exceeded the limit that mortals could reach.
"Sir, this is the coffee you wanted!" A few minutes later, the waitress brought the hot drink ordered by Qingchengzi, the same Blue Mountain coffee, and the same white porcelain tray, but the waiter in front of her had been replaced by a woman who was older than the previous one, and the long hair tied on the top of her head and the hazel uniform made her look more mature and dignified.
"Xie Lu Xie!" Qing Chengzi nodded politely, and slowly took out a thumb-sized gold coin from the cuffs of the cyan robe and handed it to the waiter, "No need to look for it." I'll finish this cup of coffee and leave, so I don't have to send the rest of the stuff, and the extra money will be used as a tip. With that, he lowered his head and began to taste the rich coffee slowly, ignoring the waiter who was a little flattered by his inexplicable behavior.
"Thank you for your patronage and hope you come back next time. "Even after working here for 3 years, this is the first time I have met such a generous guest. The waiter looked at the gold coin in his hand for a long time, and finally recovered from the excitement of not knowing what to do, slowly bent down, and made a bow to Qingchengzi who was tasting coffee, and then left happily, although he calmed down the ecstasy in his heart, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth that was difficult to hide. ...,
"Did you just see that?".
"See. That book must be what we're looking for. And that person, judging by his dress, is similar to what is written on the wanted notice, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. ”
While Qingchengzi was savoring the Blue Mountain coffee, on a corner seat on the other side of the restaurant, two strong men wearing Roman soldiers' helmets were discussing something in a whisper, and their eyes would glance at Qingchengzi's seat from time to time.
"Hmph! I'm not going to let him run away this time, my grandfather caught him and didn't catch him, my father caught him twice and ran away for him, and now it's my turn to meet him. I'm not going to do the same thing with both of them. Among the two strong men, the burly man glanced at Qingchengzi and said confidently.
Your grandfather and your father have met him before, but my father and my grandfather have not met him once in China for decades, and if I meet him this time, I will not let him slip under my nose. The slightly thin strong man patted his companion on the shoulder and replied self-deprecatingly. After that, the two of them talked in a low voice, they didn't notice the other side of the restaurant at all, the two young people, one tall and one short, had already seen the actions of Qingchengzi that they deliberately looked at Qingchengzi just now, and there was nothing left.
The two young men were dressed much brighter than the two whispering men, dressed in bright green robes with a bright silver headband, making them look like two contestants in a cosplay contest in the city. The relatively tall and thin man also had a silver sword shining white pinned to his waist, and the head of a man with long hair and flowing hair printed on the hilt and scabbard added a bit of mystery to the owner of the sword. And the man next to him, who was shorter than him, did not carry any superfluous items, but in his two palms, the roots of eight fingers were full of rock-solid yellow calluses, which at a glance knew that this was the trace left by years of grasping hard objects, and the muscles in his palms that were much thicker than ordinary people proved this from the other side.
"Big brother, how will the two of them solve it later?" the short young man asked lightly as his eyes swept over the two who were still whispering in the distance,
"Don't worry about them for now, our goal is to keep an eye on Qingchengzi. As long as Qingchengzi is killed, the book in his hand will be ours. The thin man's eyes were slightly closed, and he took a sip of the milk in his hand before slowly replying.
"Then what if the two of them preempt it? We want that book, not Qingchengzi's life. Besides, the king has already told us about Qingchengzi's strength, and with the current strength of the two of us, we can only have a draw with him at most, big brother, aren't you worried that those two guys may kill Qingchengzi? The king has repeatedly told us that once the nameless scroll is grabbed by the strong people of other countries, we can't interfere. Seeing that his eldest brother did not look worried, the young man, who was his younger brother, said with some eagerness,
Taking a sip of the milk in the cup again, the tall and thin man waved his hand slowly, seeing his younger brother casting an angry look at him, the corners of his mouth slowly rose upward, revealing a strange arc, and his face was a little gloomy and smiled: "Don't worry." The king did say so, but can't we strike again when those two guys and Qingchengzi are both defeated?
Hearing that his eldest brother already had the best countermeasures, the short young man who was his younger brother also raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile that was as weird and cold as his eldest brother. ...,
"Whew!" In the other corner of the restaurant, a blonde and blue-eyed young woman looked at the four excited and proud men in the corners of the two sides in the distance, and breathed a long sigh of relief, then shook her head depressedly, and said to herself in frustration: "It seems that this time, we are hopeless." Xiaojin, I think we should give up. ”
At this time, the honest man sitting next to her, wearing a black leather coat, looked at the young girl whose face was already full of deflated expressions, patted his chest, and said angrily: "Sister, you don't have to worry. The four of them will be handed over to me, and you will be responsible for dealing with that Qingchengzi, as long as the book in his hand is snatched, we can complete the task entrusted by the king. ”
Looking at her silly appearance and innocent brother, the blonde girl's heart was inexplicably disappointed, she sighed helplessly, shook her head and patted her stupid brother in frustration, and comforted and said: "Good brother! Sister, I know that you want to help me, but you don't know what the origin of the four people on the other side of the road is? They are not ordinary people." The two men in the steel helmets were soldiers of the neutral nation of Husmi. If the strength of the two of them did not reach the level of high-level warriors, they would never have been entrusted to snatch what we wanted. And the two people wearing silver rings on the other side are even more powerful, if I read it correctly, they are definitely the two masters of the Ottoman Empire, and the silver sword that flashes white light is the best proof of this. If you don't reach the level of a swordsmanship master, you don't even have the qualifications to wear it. The short man next to him was definitely not a weakling. But we, but only I have the strength of a master, brother, if you can break through to reach the strength of a weapon master, then you may be able to fight with them, but it's a pity ......"
"Sister, I broke through a month ago. Before the blonde girl's words fell, the silly brother's voice rang out inappropriately, and the girl's eyes were stunned, and after a long silence, her eyes suddenly became bright, and an imperceptible golden light flashed from her eyes, and a thick smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she pinched her brother's arm deeply, and asked excitedly, "Really?"
Seeing her brother nodding her head casually, the blonde could no longer hide the excitement in her heart, covered her mouth and snickered for a long time, until her heart finally regained her calm because of the laughter, she breathed a long sigh of relief, clenched the metal scepter on the table, and said with a smug smile: "Then let's have a praying mantis cicada catcher yellow finch behind......!" ,
