Chapter 240: It's a commission, not a bribe

Views:

Gu Linfeng stood there blankly for a while, and suddenly heard a sudden suspicious sound coming from the forest. The sound was in the direction Tang Xin and Zhang Dengji were leaving. His expression changed, and he ran away.

Although Tang Xin left with Zhang Dengji, he still has reservations about Zhang Dengji. Gu's family, Zhang's family, and the current fruit army should not get too close to them. For example, two princes are fighting for power. When everything is still unclear, it is too risky to stand on any side.

He suspected that Zhang Dengji approached them suddenly with some ulterior purpose, but he couldn't see anything when he observed Zhang Dengji secretly.

The two looked at each other, not knowing what the other was thinking. After two seconds, they looked away and unbuttoned their belts as if nothing had happened. It was really convenient.

At this time, there was a "click" sound of branches breaking in the opposite village. The two were alerted immediately, just as they picked up their trousers, a yellow and black-striped boa constrictor shot down from the tree like evening, and came straight for their faces!

When Gu Linfeng arrived, he happened to see Zhang Dengji fighting the boa constrictor with a long knife in his hand. The python is less than two meters long, but it is as thick as a baby's arm. When it twists, its body is very flexible. Thanks to Zhang Dengji's quick skill, he fought with the boa constrictor for a long time, but the boa constrictor didn't hurt him at all.

Tang Xin held the knife and stood bowed. He knew immediately that he was in a posture ready to strike at any time.

When Gu Linfeng saw the snake, his first reaction was to raise his gun, but the python moved so fast that he couldn't aim at it.

Tang Miao and Tang Sihuang who got up later were also surprised when they saw the python. The only good news is that this python doesn't look like it has been mutated.

All Tang Xin's attention was on the boa constrictor and Zhang Dengji, and he didn't notice the people coming behind him. Seeing that Zhang Dengji's long battle was fruitless, he lost his patience and said anxiously, "You step back first, I'll do it!" He has the ability of wind, and he is confident that his speed can be much faster than Zhang Dengji.

Zhang Dengji glanced at him, smiled, and looked away, his eyes suddenly changed, fierce as hell. "Hiss—" the boa constrictor spit out the letter, and moved forward angrily, almost standing upright. Zhang Dengji jumped up like a cheetah, his shirt bulged in the wind, hunting sounded, the blade flew obliquely, and a dazzling light flashed in the air. When the silver light disappeared, blood spattered. The boa constrictor was cut open from the neck to the abdomen, and the blood flowed out.

A gleam of appreciation flashed in Tang Xin's eyes, and he stood up.

Tang Miao felt that Tang Xin could be handed over to Zhang Dengji for the time being. She looked at Tang Sihuang and raised her chin in Zhang Dengji's direction, meaning: This man is very skilled, and that stroke just now was very handsome.

Tang Sihuang raised his eyebrows, his disapproving eyes slipped away from Zhang Dengji.

Tang Miao giggled and gave him a thumbs up: Of course, you are the most handsome!

"Tang Xin, are you okay?" Gu Linfeng hurriedly asked Tang Xin.

Zhang Dengji paused in his forward steps, turned his direction, bent down and inserted the knife into the boa constrictor's body, picked it up, put it on his shoulder, and left the forest. The python's blood dripped down on his shirt, making him look a bit messy, but his back still looked handsome.

"I'm fine, thank you Mr. Gu for your concern." Tang Xin gave him a strange look, and walked towards Tang Miao and Tang Sihuang.

Looking at the backs of the three of them, Gu Linfeng was also a little puzzled. The two brothers of the Tang family are undoubtedly outstanding, but he has always been concerned about Tang Miao, why is he so nervous about Tang Xin

There happened to be a pond not far from the resting place, and Zhang Dengji asked people to clean the python briefly, and asked the space power user to put it away.

After lunch, the driver changed shift and the team continued to set off. Probably because she was too excited in the morning, Tang Miao felt a little sleepy, and fell asleep after lying on Tang Sihuang's lap.

Gu Linfeng deliberately sat next to Tang Xin, and just tried to say a word to him, but Tang Xin stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"Mr. Gu, I'm sorry, my brother is sleeping."

Gu Linfeng had no choice but to shut up. He suddenly felt that he was too tolerant of Tang Xin, that's why he dared to disrespect him again and again.

Chen Yue thought for a while, patted the soldier on his right, changed seats with him, sat next to Gu Linfeng, and said softly, "Young Master Gu, how long will it take to arrive?"

The space of 500 cubic meters is not too small in the whole base. Gu Linfeng treated him very gently with a friendly smile.

"Our destination is Feiwang Mountain, and there will be no delay on the way. If this is the case, we will probably arrive tomorrow afternoon. Are you a little tired?"

Chen Yue smiled embarrassingly, his smile was a little shy, and he looked quite cute: "I'm not tired, but I just sit with my legs bent for a long time, and my legs are sore." He subconsciously looked at Tang Miao, very envious, It would be great if he could sleep on his stomach too. Sitting like this would not only make his legs sore, but also his buttocks. It’s okay if the road is flat, but once you get on the dirt road, the bumps from time to time can really kill you.

Gu Linfeng followed his gaze, but saw Tang Xin just glanced at him, and immediately swallowed the words "Why don't you lean on me and sleep for a while" that almost blurted out.

Tang Xin was baffled by his guilty gaze, turned his head, leaned against the car wall, and closed his eyes to rest.

Tang Sihuang looked down at Tang Miao, made sure that he was fast asleep, gently hugged his head, and let him lean against his bent knee. Tang Sihuang's right hand rested on his knee, while Tang Miao's head rested on his arm. This posture made Tang Miao's expression much more relaxed. She hugged Tang Sihuang's waist with both hands and fell into a deeper sleep.

"Young Master Gu, is this your first mission?" Chen Yue was bored by the silence in the carriage.

"I can't remember clearly." Gu Linfeng was a little absent-minded, and asked casually, "What about you?"

Chen Yue immediately became excited and said: "It's the third time. The first mission almost scared me to death. That time..."

Gu Linfeng looked at Tang Xin and leaned against the wall of the car, then looked at Tang Miao and leaned against Tang Sihuang. Tang Sihuang's attitude towards his two sons was also very different. Sure enough, no matter what family he was in, he was always favored by the little ones.

Chen Yue realized that Gu Linfeng's mind was not on him at all, so he closed his mouth bored.

Many soldiers showed expressions of relief, and they could finally be quiet for a while. They may immediately engage in intense battles as soon as they arrive at their destination, and the time in the car is a rare opportunity for them to relax and rest.

After Tang Miao woke up, she realized that she had used Tang Sihuang as a bed again. Noticing that Tang Sihuang had also fallen asleep, he carefully sat up, leaned against the wall of the car like Tang Xin, and turned to look at Tang Sihuang again. A little sour. In the past, no matter what he did, he never imagined that a character like his dad would one day be crowded in the same dreary carriage with a large group of sweaty men. It would have been nice if Daddy's space hadn't been exposed back then. At this time, he became more determined to expand the fruit army.

When the car stopped, Tang Sihuang woke up immediately.

"What's wrong?"

Tang Miao took out a water bottle from her bag and handed it to him: "It shouldn't be a big deal, why don't you sleep for a while?"

"Enough sleep." Tang Sihuang drank a few sips of water, watched Tang Miao lift the car tarpaulin, and leaned over to look outside.

Tang Xin clearly saw Tang Miao leaning over to rub Tang Sihuang's face on purpose, and then the corners of Tang Sihuang's mouth curled up slightly, and couldn't help but feel amused.

"Daddy, is that a cherry tree?" Tang Miao looked at the brightly colored, agate-like cherries hanging on the cherry tree, and was aroused.

The people in the compartment immediately became agitated, and those sitting by the side of the car lifted the tarpaulin to look out. How long has it been since they had any fruit

Gu Linfeng asked one of his subordinates to see why the car was parked, and reassured everyone that if they rested here, they would be asked to pick cherries.

His subordinates don't need to get out of the car, they only need to wave the small flag a few times to make a signal, and the people in the car in front will notice it through the reflection of the mirror, and then answer with the semaphore. It turned out that there was a village in front of it, which could be used for overnight stay. It was getting dark, and if we continued our journey, we might eventually have to sleep in the open, so Zhang Dengji decided to stop here.

Tang Miao was not the only one who saw the cherry tree. Zhang Dengji gave the order to rest, and everyone in the car jumped off and ran towards the wild cherry tree. Tang Miao ran faster than anyone else, Tang Xin couldn't help but smile.

Tang Miao turned her head and glared at him? Who is he doing this for? The reason he runs so fast is to pick some cherries and replace them with those in space. He and Daddy usually do not eat less fruit.

It's a pity that Zhang Dengji gave an order just after everyone picked a few cherries, and only eight people were allowed to pick them, and everyone had a share of the cherries picked.

Tang Miao quickly picked a handful, replaced them with those in the space when no one was prepared, and stuffed them all for Tang Xin.

Tang Xin was taken aback.

Tang Miao waved her hand and joked, "Hurry up and eat, be careful not to be robbed."

Tang Xin felt that he seemed to understand something, so he ate one by one without saying anything.

Everyone searched around and found four wild cherry trees, which were fruitful and surprising. Everyone gets some, although it is less than two or three, but it is enough to satisfy the gluttony. Zhang Dengji asked someone to mark it here, and when he planned to return, he dug up all four trees and took them back to plant in the base.

Tang Miao and Tang Sihuang gave their share to Tang Xin, making Gu Linfeng secretly sigh for misunderstanding Tang Sihuang.

Neither Zhang Dengji nor Gu Linfeng participated in the distribution. Some soldiers offered to give them their share, but both refused.

Zhang Dengji walked up to the four of Tang Sihuang (and Xiao Hulin) and said, "I didn't enter the village until after lunch. There are a lot of zombies in the village. Mr. Tang, can you handle it with two people?"

Tang Sihuang said: "If you can't handle it, please trouble Zhang Shaozhao to talk to Tang Xin."

Zhang Dengji nodded and looked at Tang Xin.

Even the best masters can't guarantee that they can handle every situation. Tang Xin handed over the remaining cherries in his hand, smiled slightly, and said, "These are commissions, not bribes."

Zhang Dengji smiled again, took it, and started to eat slowly.

Gu Linfeng felt a slight pain in his heart, and suddenly understood why he felt uncomfortable when he saw Tang Xin and Zhang Dengji leave together last time.
