Chapter 289: Happy Cooperation~!
All people and things are part of the wholeness, and no one exists in isolation. So such as relatives, friends, enemies...... And so on, and the relationship will arise accordingly.
There is nothing to say about the relationship between relatives, and it is okay to say that it is a godsend, because there is no choice. As for friends, it has to be acquired, and this takes time to manage. Those who get along are dead friends, and those who don't get along are nodding friends. As for the enemy...... This one is a bit more complicated. If there is no contact between people, or between creatures and animals, it should not be a matter of liking or disliking. But the reality is often because of identity, position, and even eating habits, etc., and you can become enemies who fight to the death without meeting. Cats and mice, cavalry and assassins......
The former is because of the food chain, and the latter is because of the opposition of professions. There is no reason to talk about it, but as long as we meet, it is a situation of fire and water. It's like this......
After Don revealed his identity, in an instant, the cavalry completed all the preparatory actions, and the battle was about to break out. At this speed, even the surrounding diners didn't react, biting the noodles and looking at the situation blankly.
In this respect, Bowes's training skills are still very commendable. For example, the uniform sound of horses' hooves before, and for example, although the saber rattling is now, all the cavalry did not overreact after receiving orders......
"Sit down and eat noodles for me!" said Bowes, his remaining right eye, glaring at his subordinates who were surrounding him, and roaring viciously.
These cavalrymen are not Bernie, so naturally they have no right to suggest, although they are a little unwilling to hear this. But he quickly sat back down.
An imminent chaos was overshadowed for the time being. It was only the noodle stall diners around who reacted that they realized that something was wrong. Hurriedly check out and leave.
"Hah, what day is tonight? It's kind of interesting. Bowis set the towel aside and grinned, "But I just came out for a supper, and two moles came to the door." It's nerve-wracking, I only have one chain. β
After a pause, Bowes looked into Donn's eyes, his body gradually straightening. "It looks like we can only kill one...... What do you think?"
"Yes, that's a good idea. As if he didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words, Don spread his hands lightly and nodded in agreement.
"Haha......" Bowis was a little surprised, then raised his head and let out a daxiao, rubbing his big red nose, "It's getting more and more interesting, I'm a little curious, what makes you so fearless?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of. Don shrugged his shoulders and crossed his hands on the table. "Mainly, I'm here tonight just to work with you...... Or maybe it's a deal. β
"Cooperation?βAn Assassin talks to the head of the Security Department?" Bowis pointed at Don and then at himself. The expression on his face was very exaggerated and rich, as if he had heard some fantasy.
"Not bad. The irony in Bowes's words is something that can be heard by a person. But Don didn't care, and nodded persistently, looking very confident in this.
Shaking his head, Bowes seemed to be tired of such conversations, his hands pressed the table, leaned forward, and an almost substantial sense of oppression came to his face: "Listen to the mole, I don't care if you have heard my way of doing things, and whether you have drunk too much today to find death." While I'm a little curious about what kind of collaboration there is, I think it would be more appropriate to have the conversation in a prison interrogation room. β
Tang En raised his eyebrows and looked left and right: "Do it here?"
It's late at night, but the snack street is very lively. If you do it here, accidental injury is inevitable.
"Or else?" said Bowes, looking unmoved, and slowly touching the greatsword on the table gave the most obvious answer.
The cavalry around them had already paid great attention to this side, and when they saw this situation, their bodies tensed again, and they sat on the wooden benches, stretched out their hands and clenched the hilt of their swords, ready to attack at any time.
In an instant, the suffocating atmosphere descended again.
Because of the reason just now, the customers of this noodle stall are all gone, and there are no new entrants for the time being. The stall owner in the back held a large spoon in both hands, and hid behind the counter with a very tangled face, worried about his own safety and the fate of this stall......
Just when this atmosphere was about to reach the breaking point, Tang En's body leaned back slightly, waved his hand casually, and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't make trouble, you can't beat me again." β
"Huh?" Feeling the big hand on the hilt of the sword, Bowes showed a look of surprise, and then looked at Don again, frowning, "Who are you?"
Because of his previous vigilance, coupled with his later direct admission, Boris had determined that Don was an assassin. Although I was a little surprised by this perfect disguise, and had a vague sense that the other party didn't seem to be easy to mess with, who was Bowes? Naturally, he didn't care about it. As long as he was sure that the other party was an assassin, the only thought in his mind was to capture and kill, without the slightest hesitation or retreat. But now Donn's words made him pause, both surprised by the content of the words and strange at the faint familiarity in them.
Don flipped his right hand, and a pitted dagger appeared on the table.
This is really a dagger with a very poor appearance, if you don't meet someone who knows the goods, put it on a roadside stall, at most it can only be marked with the price of dozens of copper coins. Well, no one will necessarily buy it.
But Bowes's face changed, his face couldn't help twitching, of course he knew this dagger, and even a little faint pain as soon as he saw the inside and outside of his body, and seemed to smell the special smell of medicine in the treatment hall......
Wow -
"You dare!" "Hands-on ......"
The cavalry around didn't know what was going on, and when they saw that Tang En suddenly showed his dagger, and the hall chief looked stunned, they were shocked, and they all drew their swords and rushed up.
Bang!
"Get out!" roared, but it was Boris who quickly came back to his senses when he heard the movement, and with a wave of his hand, the great sword was thrown out, sending the two closest cavalrymen flying. Of course, it's soft.
"Uh......" The footsteps of the cavalry around him were instantly stunned, and they looked at each other, with blank expressions on their faces, completely unclear about the situation in front of them.
"Don't you hear, get out of here!" Bowes slammed his broadsword into the ground and rolled his eyes. Full of violent.
"Yes, yes......" saw the director angry. The dozen or so cavalrymen had to resign themselves to quitting the noodle stall. It didn't go far. It is still encircled on the periphery.
The people around finally realized that something was wrong, looked at the cavalry carrying a bright sword, and hurriedly checked out and left. Although there was some commotion, there was no chaos because there was no fighting. There are even some bold ones, who stand aside from afar and follow the development of the situation.
"It's you!" said Bowes, his gaze moving from the dagger to Donn's face, his eyes flickering with a fierce light.
I have to say. It was an embarrassing memory. When the city square was in turmoil, he and Bernie led most of the garrison to quell it, only to be sent to the treatment hall instead...... But despite this, after the shock, Bowes's chest rose with even stronger fighting spirit, eager to repay this shameful humiliation.
Tang En could naturally feel this surging killing intent, waved his hand, and said calmly: "I just want to talk about cooperation today......
Bowis refused: "I don't think we have any possibility of working together." β
"Anyway, I am also an acquaintance of Laiyan City, and I know my hometown in another country, at least wait for me to finish speaking. Besides, even if it's going to be fought. It's not bad for a few minutes, is it?" he spread his hands, and Don said in a sincere tone.
Boris was silent. Although he didn't let go of the hand holding the big sword, he didn't attack first after all.
Tang En only took this as a tacit acquiescence and quickly said, "I believe you must know the news, the goddess statue in Mountain Creek City has been destroyed, and two murderers are still at large. β
Bowes's eyes moved slightly, but he still pouted: "What does this have to do with me?"
Just talk...... Tang En was overjoyed when he saw this, and continued: "There wasn't before, but now there is. If I'm not mistaken, they're heading toward the city right now, and they'll arrive about early tomorrow morning, or sooner. β
"And then?" Bowis raised an eyebrow, his tone still not salty.
"Don't you want to catch them?Well, if these two people die in Riva City and are planted in your hands, not to mention fame and the like, there will be no shortage of double rewards from the Bran Empire and the Temple of Light...... Hehe, these sound a bit cheesy, and you may not care about it, but the sense of accomplishment that belongs to you is real, isn't it?"
Smack, smack, smack!
"Haha......" clapped his palm, and Bowes looked at Don with interest, "I have to say, I'm really surprised that you know about me. But ......" paused, his face suddenly sank, and his tone mocked, "Do I really look that stupid? These two people are clearly coming for you, between you dog eats dog, what does it have to do with me?"
"And, hehe, you're pretty calculating...... Those two people, a ground-level martial artist and a space department great magician, even lost most of the team sent by the Temple of Light, and they couldn't leave each other. You even asked me to provoke them, do you want to join me in the pit?"
Tang En raised his eyebrows, he really didn't expect that the news of the defeat of the Temple of Light team had already come out, and looking at the appearance of Boris, he seemed to know some of the details. However, Don didn't plan to give up, after all, Bowis didn't do it right now, which was a very good signal.
"Yes, that's exactly what happened. What, you're scared?" Seeing Bowes' right eye straighten up, Don quickly said, "It's true that they are strong, but I'm sure you must have known that they were injured when you received the news, right?"
This was Tang En's guess, but there was also a factual basis, he personally said that he saw the team of the Temple of Light, and the strength was definitely not weak. Oliver they want to take each other, and it is impossible not to pay the price. Besides, if Oliver had an overwhelming advantage, the Temple of Light team should have been wiped out, not half of it.
Boris was silent again, and this attitude was acquiescence.
Seeing this, Tang En was sure in his heart, and it seemed that his guess was correct...... He continued: "I can also tell you the news that they haven't had any recuperation in the past few days, and the injuries are still the same as before...... And they definitely didn't expect you to exist, this is your territory, you and I join forces, and we have a good chance of winning by surprise. β
Without waiting for Boris to question, Donn spread his hands again, "And, to put it mildly, if I want to leave, you can't keep me today...... Hehe, I'm not going to leave Riva City, you don't want me to set the battlefield at the gate of the garrison tomorrow, do you?"
Bowis remained silent, but the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. A ground-level martial artist, a space great magician, and a guy who can't see the depth but can escape under the first two......! What a disaster this Nima would be!
There is both temptation and threat, and this is Donn's strategy. Now that everything needs to be said is said, it's up to Bowes to react.
The wait was not long, not even more than a minute. Bowis looked up suddenly, his right eye narrowed slightly: "I heard that those two are bounty hunters?"
Tang En was stunned for a moment, then his heart moved, and he nodded: "Uh...... Yes, it's still the top one. β
"It's done!" Bowes slapped the table, looking a little excited, "After so many years of killing moles, I can finally slaughter the jackals." β
"......" Don opened his mouth, his face speechless. After reacting, he pursed his lips and raised the wine glass in front of him, "Happy cooperation!"
"Happy working together!"
Bang, inferior wine glasses collide and make a dull sound.
Don and Bowes both tilted their heads and drained the intense red liquor in one gulp.
"Happy!" Feeling the feeling of the flames burning his throat, the pressure in Don's heart disappeared, and he wiped the remaining liquid from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and said happily. Immediately watching Bowis do the same, he couldn't help but curl his lips slightly, "Hehe, aren't you afraid of poison in wine?"
"I'm just afraid this wine isn't strong enough!"
"haha......" (To be continued......
