20demayo Chapter 146 Prodigal
Chapter 146 Prodigal
"Is this woman so hateful? I originally thought that the character settings of these two official partners were just a little weird..." Gong Zhi sighed helplessly in his heart: "In the end, she actually wants to kill Lu Bu!"
He asked with a slightly depressed tone: "Do we really have to kill Lu Bu?"
Long's attitude was extremely firm: "He must die!"
Yuxi curiously asked the reason: "Why?"
Long calmly explained: "Although Lu Bu is known as the God of War, he is indeed an ungrateful person!"
"He used Xuzhou as his base to expand towards the capital of Wei. He was ambitious and had countless blood debts on his shoulders!"
Yuxi secretly complained in her heart: "The Three-Part Land is originally a land of war..."
After all, the three countries crowded in one place are like a powder keg that can ignite at any time, erupting into a war storm that sweeps across the entire continent.
Yuxi asked doubtfully, "Do mercenaries still care about war?"
Long replied: "I received this mission."
Yuxi further asked: "Who gave you the task?"
After hearing this, Long's tone instantly became colder: "Don't ask who gave it to you."
"If you want the antidote, follow my instructions! In two days, you will follow me to kill Lu Bu..."
Kai, who had been silent all the time, suddenly heard the time arranged by Long, and his face instantly became extremely serious.
"Two days later it's too late, how about tomorrow?"
Kai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, his tone firm and urgent: "Since we want to kill him, what's the difference between killing him early and late?"
Yuxi was startled by Kai's resolute tone and was stunned: "He actually wants to kill Lu Bu..."
Long was stunned by Kai's question. He was silent for a long time, weighed the pros and cons, and finally told the truth: "To ensure that there is no risk, I will use Lu Bu's blood subordinates' magic secret method to trap him."
"No need to bother!"
Kai flatly refused, his eyes revealing disdain for such methods.
"hehe…"
Diao Chan suddenly laughed, her wide sleeves slightly covering her face, and she entered Kai's sight in a charming manner: "You really think highly of yourself."
"That's Lu Bu, the god of war who rules a state! His strength is not something that an unknown person like you can contend with!"
Her words were full of sarcasm and provocation, as if she was trying to provoke Kai.
Kai heard that and suddenly clenched his hands. A cold light flashed in his eyes. He looked at Diao Chan with a murderous look: "Indeed... there are some troubles."
Diao Chan covered her face with her wide sleeves and avoided his gaze.
Yuxi didn't notice the sparks between them, and subconsciously stood in front of Kai and spoke for him: "He's not famous just because he's low-key, okay! Is that what you mean by Lu Bu is particularly strong?"
Diao Chan turned around lightly, glanced at Yu Xi, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Lü Bu is very strong."
"Oh?"
Yuxi retorted unconvincedly: "You seem to admire Lu Bu very much. Since you admire him, he also likes you."
"Why aren't you with him?"
"Ha ha……"
Diao Chan's smile became even brighter, as if she was mocking Yu Xi's naivety: "Does it mean that if you admire someone or someone likes you, you will be with that person?"
Yuxi was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer: "No. We will only be together if I like you."
Diao Chan looked at him coldly, as if to say, "Then why are you asking me?"
"Uh…"
Yuxi felt a little embarrassed, but he still insisted on his point of view: "But isn't a woman's admiration just love?"
There was a hint of mystery in Diao Chan's eyes. She shook her head slightly, and said in a tone of instruction: "You don't understand women at all."
Yuxi was speechless and could only sigh, her doubts growing even more intense: "Even if Lu Bu is guilty, it shouldn't be you who killed him."
He stared at Diao Chan closely and asked her, "Doesn't he have true feelings for you?"
At this moment, a trace of doubt and hesitation flashed across Diao Chan's face. Her eyes became deep, as if she was recalling every detail of the past, and she murmured to herself: "Sincerely..."
Long saw her confused expression and became anxious, and quickly warned her: "Don't even think about turning her against us!"
"Scout Diao Chan and Shadow are a couple! She approached Lu Bu only to complete the mission! After the mission is completed, she and Shadow can live together forever."
When Yuxi heard this, she suddenly felt that her worldview had been overturned.
He thought to himself: "Diao Chan and Lu Bu are the official couple, but she actually likes Zhao Yun?"
Long then said to Diao Chan: "Who in the mercenary group doesn't know about this? Only Shadow doesn't know your good intentions!"
"Once this is done, I will transfer you to his account."
After hearing Long's words, Diao Chan's cheeks immediately flushed, and she said softly, "Well... Thank you, Captain."
Seeing that Diao Chan had been stabilized, Long went on to arrange matters concerning the mission.
He said, "Broken Blade, Jade Emperor, you will stay here for now and follow me in two days."
At this time, Diao Chan suddenly reminded: "Don't forget, you have been poisoned by me."
With that, she and Long left the room.
When Yuxi saw them leaving, she immediately chanted "purification" and the dizziness disappeared instantly.
"call--"
Yuxi secretly congratulated herself: "Fortunately, I have mastered these skills, otherwise I would have been in trouble..."
After using the [Purification] skill, he turned to look at Kai next to Xing, only to see Kai lowering his eyes, concentrating on examining the blade of the longsword in his hand, wondering what he was thinking about.
Yuxi felt a little curious, so he took the initiative to ask, "Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Kai's thoughts were awakened, and he replied: "There won't be much time to act in two days."
Then, Kai's eyes flashed with determination, "If the enemy intends to use delaying tactics to gain assistance or set a trap..."
"We might as well do it tonight."
Yuxi raised her hand to interrupt him: "I'm fine now."
Kai didn't seem to hear clearly: "What?"
Yuxi continued to explain: "Actually, I can detoxify myself."
Kai's expression revealed concern: "Are you really okay?"
Yuxi gave a comforting smile: "Really, look, my nosebleed is gone."
Kai was still worried, so he walked closer and carefully observed Yuxi's face, from her forehead to her cheeks, then to her chin, and finally his gaze fixed on Yuxi's eyes.
The two looked at each other quietly for a long time, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle. Yuxi was the first to break the silence: "Brother?"
Kai nodded slightly: "There is indeed no sign of poisoning."
Yuxi took the opportunity to change the subject: "Hey... do you still want your hairband?"
Kai came back to his senses and replied calmly, "Yes."
Yuxi handed over the hairband she had just used to cover her nose. After being washed with a purifying agent, the hairband had returned to its clean state.
Kai took the headband and gently put it back in his arms.
"Then let's go find Shadow and hand in the task." Yuxi suggested.
"Okay." Kai first agreed to go back, but he still didn't want to end it so easily, so he said lightly: "But we have to deal with those two people first."
Yuxi frowned, feeling reluctant: "No! They are all companions of the mercenary group after all..."
Kai's brows were furrowed, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "To poison you, aren't they cruel enough?"
Yuxi shook her head, trying to calm him down: "The poison can be cured, and they didn't say they wouldn't give me the antidote."
"Besides, Diao Chan is just following Long's orders. We can just beat Long up."
Kai sighed helplessly, but there was a hint of fondness in his eyes: "Okay."
Kai opened the door and rushed out, disappearing outside like a phantom.
In a flash, he grabbed the dragon's neck and dragged it back. The mercenaries in Lian Yuting didn't even notice this.
Kai looked at Yuxi and said gently, "You do it. I'm worried that I won't be able to help myself and kill him directly.
Yuxi smiled slightly and praised sincerely: "You are awesome!"
Long stared at them with eyes wide open, looking at them in disbelief: "You...?"
Yuxi asked coldly, "Where is Diao Chan?"
Long swallowed and replied in a trembling voice: "She went back to Tianxian Tower..."
"Oh."
Yuxi nodded and said softly.
Long then asked again: "What do you want to do?"
Before Long could react, Yuxi punched him in the stomach.
"Ugh..."
He covered his stomach and bent over in pain: "You...you dare to hit me? You were poisoned by Diao Chan, don't you want the antidote?!"
Yuxi shook her head and said disdainfully, "No."
Long was stunned, his face full of confusion.
Yuxi then proceeded to beat Long fiercely until Long's nose and face were swollen and his head was covered with lumps. He patted the non-existent dust on his hands, as if nothing had happened.
After she was satisfied, Yuxi called out to Kai, "Let's go."
Kai responded softly: "Okay."
The two of them left the wine alley as if no one was around, and soon returned to the Dragon Mercenary Group.
The night in the camp was quiet and peaceful, only Zhao Yun's tent was still brightly lit.
"came back."
Zhao Yun said calmly, "How did you complete your mission?"
Zhao Yun handed over the gold coins and said calmly: "Here are 4400 gold coins, keep them!"
Yuxi took the heavy gold coins, his joy was beyond words and he couldn't help but smile.
"You loser shadow—" Yuxi said with a smile.
"What did you say?" Zhao Yun frowned, a little displeased.
Yuxi continued jokingly, "This is the receipt of the message Long asked me to bring to you."
Zhao Yun's expression changed slightly, looking a little ugly, but Kai could not hide the smile in his eyes.
"He actually said that to me! He is obviously a bigger spendthrift than me!" Zhao Yun was angry.
"cough…"
Yuxi's tone turned serious, "There's one more thing. We had completed the mission a long time ago."
"The dragon detained us and asked us to do the task he gave us."
Zhao Yun stared at Yuxi suspiciously: "What mission?"
"He wants us to go with him to kill Lu Bu in two days." Kai's voice was steady, but every word was solemn.
Zhao Yun stood up from his seat in disbelief, his shock evident in his words.
"How dare he kill Lu Bu!"
Zhao Yun was shocked and stunned, and cried out: "Who gave him the courage! He has no real ability, so he is so arrogant!"
Yuxi and Kai exchanged glances. Zhao Yun paced back and forth in the tent with his spear held upside down, seeming to digest this sudden news.
Zhao Yun looked at the two of them and asked, "Is everything you said true?"
Yuxi looked at him, completely clueless, and became even more confused.
Yuxi hesitated: "Don't you know anything?"
Zhao Yun ordered solemnly: "Tell me everything you know."
Yuxi confessed: "The mission you issued to us was to help him obtain Lu Bu's blood... so that we can lay down the secret magic method to deal with Lu Bu."
"And Diao Chan, who was used as a chess piece by him and placed next to Lu Bu."
After hearing this, Zhao Yun sighed deeply, looking exhausted both physically and mentally.
"So tired..." Zhao Yun's voice was filled with fatigue.
He stuck his spear into the floor and sat back in the main seat.
Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and made a decision: "You must be tired, go and rest first. I will take care of the rest."
"Oh……"
Yuxi was full of doubts: "Does he really not know?"
"I just wanted to deliberately sow discord between them." Yuxi felt a little sorry and secretly speculated: "I didn't expect that the same mercenary group would not communicate with each other."
"If there are two leaders in a team, then the group will soon be separated."
"Let's go and rest." Kai said gently.
"Okay." Yuxi responded obediently.
Kai held his hand and didn't let go until they were in their own tent.
Yuxi felt a little sleepy as soon as he saw the bed. His body was already craving for rest.
Yuxi yawned, eyes half open and half closed: "I'm so sleepy, let's take a rest for a night."
Kai looked at him with concern: "Go to sleep."
Yuxi looked at Kai curiously: "Aren't you going to sleep?"
Kai smiled and shook his head, his eyes gentle: "I can't sleep, you go to sleep first."
