Chapter 408 The Bizarre Adventure of Gong Zi
Beizhou.
Falling Silver City Fortress, this is the third fortress on the west side of the main wing of Beizhou Fortress.
This is actually a very large fortress. Although its geographical location is not as important as Gubao, it is still a big city on the front line... It's just that the fortress of Fallen Silver City has begun to "overload" in the past year.
the reason is simple.
The adjacent "Moon Phi City" evacuated all the residents in the fort because of the super-large disaster, and Falling Silver City naturally took on the task of "diverting".
The legionnaires in this fortress began to be responsible for the ultra-long-distance delivery of supplies and the transfer of personnel to maintain the two fortresses.
There was only an empty shell left in Phi Yue City, because the task of maintaining the disaster environment was too arduous, during the year when the Fourth Army was stationed, Falling Silver City was responsible for providing food and military supplies.
The backup compartment of the heavy military truck was full of supplies, and a group of people were carrying the goods, with a thin man among them.
Holding a large box of steel in both hands, he got up staggeringly, before he had time to load it into the car.
"The surname Zhao... hurry up your motherfucker!"
Suddenly someone called him from behind.
is urging.
He quickly quickened his pace.
But from nowhere, there was a strong kick, kicking him to the ground and throwing him forward.
Zhao Qi fell hard into the mud.
He was a little dizzy, and when he looked back, there were stars in his eyes, there were many figures, and he couldn't see who kicked that kick at all.
Even if you can see clearly... it's useless.
The bewildered look of the man turning back was noticed by everyone, and there was a sound of laughter from the crowd.
A thick voice of scolding sounded from behind the crowd.
"Why are you standing still! Why don't you hurry up and work!"
The moment the voice sounded, the fortress soldiers who were watching the bustle began to carry the goods again. Zhao Qi also got up quickly and put the steel that had fallen on the ground into a wooden box to pick him up. Someone stretched out a foot and tripped him.
He fell down hard again, this time he was not so lucky, his chin hit the edge of the truck's iron sheet... the whole person passed out.
And when he woke up again, he was not in a warm ward.
but on the side of the road.
Blood flowed all over the skirt, and the cold wind pierced the bones, but the wound was frozen unconscious.
Zhao Qi's mouth kept trembling.
The truck has already left.
This is not the first time. In this place, no one cares about him at all... No one would believe that a rich son would be sent to such a place to suffer, and this guy who can only play tricks and run around the train with his mouth , when he first came to the Silver City Engineering Corps, he tried to use his prominent background in exchange for special treatment.
It's a pity that Beizhou's survival rules don't follow this set.
Now that you are here, you have to stay in your own position and do your own thing well.
If you can't help, get out!
The comrades in the legion are not willing to be with him at all, who wants to be a partner with a useless trash?Who can give their backs to such a role?Even if the engineering regiment was only responsible for ordinary maintenance and inspection work, no one was willing to work with Zhao Qi... and Zhao Qi, who repeatedly emphasized his outstanding background, finally got the spat and fists of Beizhou soldiers.
If it weren't for the order of "Wild Dog", he would have been expelled from the city long ago.
The Engineering Corps doesn't want to accept this useless mud at all... and the captain in charge of this team has also acquiesced in the "bullying behavior" in the team. Because of Zhao Qi's existence, his team will always be ranked at the bottom. If this guy is willing to leave by himself, Good for everyone then.
"hiss……"
Zhao Qi held his chin, tremblingly found a remote corner, and sat down against the wall.
He rummaged around, but couldn't find a single cigarette...
Just then.
There was a figure blocking the cold wind that was coming. He did not look down at the man squatting in the corner like the others, but silently handed out a cigar.
cigar?
Zhao Qi didn't dare to pick it up.
In this kind of place, cigars are a luxury.
He raised his head in a daze, looking at the figure blocking the wind and snow, trying to see the other person's face clearly, only to see that person was wearing a thin cloak, and his face was hard to distinguish in the backlight.
He looked at the cigar again and found that it was from Dongzhou...
Zhao Qi's first reaction was to lower his head, wrap his arms around his knees, and said in a trembling voice, "You admitted your mistake."
He didn't believe that in this kind of place, there were still kind-hearted people who were willing to give him alms.
The only explanation is... he was recognized.
Zhao Qi would rather fall down in the mud a thousand times and be scratched by the iron sheet a hundred times.
I don't want to be recognized by my former friends.
The man smiled and asked, "Excuse me...Who are you?"
The voice sounded unfamiliar.
Zhao Qi lowered his head... He hugged his knees, looked at the dirty face reflected in the muddy ground, suddenly realized something, and smiled self-deprecatingly.
Yes.
With my current appearance, how could someone from my past recognize him?
If the father is not dead.
Standing in front of his father... I'm afraid he won't be recognized, right?
"Let's smoke it. Good thing, I only have two sticks left, one for you and one for me."
The man opened his mouth lightly.
Zhao Qi trembled and took the cigar slowly. By lighting the fire, he saw the face of the giver in front of him clearly. He was a young "adventurer". The reason why he used the word "adventurer" was because of this The young man's face was covered with wind and frost, his ragged cloak, and worn-out pouch looked like he had traveled for a long time.
And those who can reach this kind of place are not ordinary people.
This is a very powerful transcendent.
"I've seen everything before." The young man said softly with a complex expression, "No matter how you provoked them, that kind of behavior is still a little too much..."
Zhao Qi shook his head.
obviously.
Those guys don't care about me... It was this young man who moved me here.
"Are you from... Dongzhou?"
Zhao Qi's voice was hoarse.
The young man became interested and said with a smile, "How can you tell?"
Zhao Qi dusted off his cigar, and said with a low smile, "The double pyramid uniquely produced in Yinghai, with a ring diameter of 180mm... This is a very good cigar."
Most importantly, this cigar is only sold in limited quantities in Dongzhou.
This young man is most likely from Dongzhou, and...he is very rich.
"Are you from Dongzhou too?"
The young man smiled slightly, and he suddenly understood why this guy kept his head down to avoid being seen by him... To be able to recognize this cigar, I am afraid that this guy has a past that he does not want to be discovered.
"Do not……"
Zhao Qi was silent for a while, then said with a smile: "It's just a coincidence, I have done some research..."
The young man did not ask for his identity.
He and Zhao Qi squatted by the wall, enjoyed the last two cigars together, and spoke again after a while.
"Excuse me...I'm curious, what are you going to do next?"
"..."
Zhao Qi fell silent.
His eyes dimmed.
This kind of thing happened more than once. According to past experience, he would find a place to sleep. These injuries, these injuries are nothing, there are countless bruises on the large and small wounds.
just sleep...just sleep...
As for tomorrow's life?
Tomorrow's life is to repeat today.
Such days have been repeated for a long, long time.
He really wanted to lie to this "young man" whom he met by chance, saying that he would find out those bullies and beat them back one by one...but he couldn't say a word when he got to his mouth.
If it was a year ago.
He might sharply comment on the South Bay cigar handed to him by the other party, and then tell this brother from his hometown who came from afar that he needs to improve his taste while having money.
But now, he won't do that.
"How else can it be?"
Zhao Qi smiled softly, "That's it...that's it..."
The expected answer.
The young man crouched in a corner, smoking his last cigar, squinting in the smoke and snow.
He saw clearly the scene just now, being trampled on wantonly, but silently enduring it...how could such a person be furious?
Just at a certain moment when I saw that picture.
I moved my heart of compassion...
And... I do feel that this guy looks familiar.
"If you don't want to stay here, you can leave." He put out his cigar and said softly, "There is no need to force yourself."
Zhao Qi bowed his head and remained silent.
How could he not know this truth?
Those guys hoped that they would get out of Fallen Silver City, it would be best to get out of Beizhou...Of course I thought so too!
But...how can I not do such a thing.
He would always think of that old guy Zhao Xilai, lying on the bed in the ward, looking at him at the end.
He would always think of every fist Gu Shen threw on his face.
When he was beaten, when he fell down, when he woke up... He was clearly telling himself to give up at every moment, but in the end he gritted his teeth until now.
"Don't want to go?"
The young man smiled softly.
He lowered his voice, and said in a deep voice: "Since you are from Dongzhou... come to Beizhou, at least make yourself look good, don't let these guys look down on you."
Zhao Qi was startled.
He was about to say something just now, but when he raised his head again, the young man had already left.
……
……
Gong Zi left Luoyin City and walked in the heavy snow in the wilderness.
He thought back to that poor ghost squatting in the corner just now, that bearded and vicissitudes of face, the more he thought about it, the more familiar he felt... He felt that he had seen this face before somewhere.
"This guy...isn't his surname Zhao?"
Gong Zi stopped and looked back.
The snow was so heavy that I couldn't see anything clearly.
He muttered softly, and continued to move towards the final destination... It has been a whole year since he came to Beizhou to practice, and he has gained a lot from his practice in this year.
Other than that.
The biggest purpose of his trip to the north was to go to Qianjin City and look for Grand Duke Duanyang.
Cancel the marriage contract of the palace family.
This matter must be kept a secret from the Gong family.
So on this road, he twists and turns, in order to get rid of the "guardian" who secretly followed him... Traveling between the remote fortresses of Beizhou, trekking, drinking snow and frost, hunting wild animals, Although these days were painful, they gave him a sense of excitement and freshness that could not be compared to a stable life in the Forbidden Snow City.
No one knows what will happen on the journey tomorrow.
This year of practicing with great concentration.
Gong Zi threw away her identity as the young master of the Gong family.
He told himself that this year, he was just an "extraordinary person" pursuing his true self, and the only thing he had to do was practice... Now that he has completed his practice, it is time to arrive in Qianjin City.
Gong Zi didn't use the family's sealed items, nor did he use the family's money. He found a private pawn shop in a small snow-capped town in Beizhou, and then had a good chat with a very interesting local uncle, drinking heavily In one event, the "absolutely safe" cargo transaction popular in Beizhou was carried out.
Gong Zi exchanged the rare animal skins obtained from hunting for "vulgar objects" of unknown origin in Beizhou.
The use of these "vulgar things" will not be traced by the family.
It can be said... since last month, Gong Zi has completely disappeared from the family's sight and gained the so-called "freedom".
And the last part of the journey to Qianjin City was also very smooth.
Three days later, Gong Zi arrived in Qianjin City.
Under the management of Her Majesty the Empress, the most prosperous core capital of Northern Continent, this giant city demonstrates unparalleled discipline. It is an ancient city of human culture with a long history like Nagano.
600 years ago.
Beizhou built a huge wall.
And those who led the legion to resist the collapse of the order outside the giant wall gathered here. Over the past 600 years, one group after another group of think tanks weaved the grand future of Beizhou in the forward city, and realized every dream one by one. come true.
This is the "City of Progress" for mankind.
The airship is suspended in the air, the floating board blocks out the sun, and the controllable energy fusion led by [Deep Sea] has brought inexhaustible and inexhaustible energy to Qianjin City... This city seems to be a rising new life Even though the sun is consuming billions of energy equivalents every moment, there is still no need to worry about the day when it will be exhausted.
Because compared with the thermal effect feedback brought by the source energy fusion, the consumption of this city is not worth mentioning.
Gong Zi lives in Qianjin City.
He took a shower first, if he wanted to meet "Duke Duanyang", then he must not meet with such a sloppy and bad image... Otherwise, he would be rejected directly.
And Gong Zi, who had put on decent clothes again, did not follow Beizhou's rules and contact Grand Duke Duanyang in advance.
The family lost their news in Beizhou.
You should be searching for your whereabouts now...
Contacting Grand Duke Duanyang may make the family realize what they are going to do.
Gong Zi decided to pay a visit.
He was going to go directly to the manor where Grand Duke Duanyang was.
……
……
"What are you messing around with?!"
Inside the manor.
Following an angry shout, the sound of the porcelain cup breaking immediately resounded.
The steaming hot tea splashed all over the floor, Grand Duke Duanyang accidentally knocked over his favorite teacup, he didn't have time to pick it up, but looked calmly at his daughter who was kneeling in front of him at the moment.
His expression was half angry.
The other half is helpless.
"Father……"
Grand Duke Duanyang's daughter Lin Sheng knelt on the ground, refusing to get up no matter what, and said softly, "If you don't agree, I will always kneel here."
This scene attracted the attention of many servants in the manor.
Outside the hall, it was filled with people.
Some people have already begun to discuss...why does Miss kneel here.
Grand Duke Duanyang's wife was married very early, and she never remarried after that, and she only had an only daughter under her knees.
He treats Miss very well on weekdays.
It is almost obedient.
What happened to make the lady kneel so long?
"Get up first... let's talk in another place."
Seeing that there were more and more people, the Grand Duke of Duanyang subconsciously knelt down and went to support him himself, but found that he couldn't help them.
There is a stubborn and stubborn look in the daughter's eyes.
"Okay... If you want to kneel here, just kneel here!"
He almost gritted his teeth and said this sentence.
But when the Grand Duke of Duanyang was about to walk away, his heart softened suddenly.
He shouted to disperse the crowd of onlookers.
Then close the hall door.
In order to ensure that the next conversation would not be heard by outsiders, he took off his finger wrench and threw it into the air. The wrench finger swayed a spiritual ripple, sealing the entire hall tightly.
"What are you doing...why?"
The Grand Duke of Duanyang came to his daughter, "In front of so many people, such a thing happened... If it gets out, how should I explain it to my father?"
Lin Sheng said in a hoarse voice: "I don't want to either... I just told you dozens of times... You never took it to heart..."
"Your engagement was made 20 years ago! How can you go back on it so easily?"
Grand Duke Duanyang said anxiously: "The eldest son of the Gong family, what's wrong with it, you want to cancel the engagement with him? How does this make the Gong family think of us?"
Lin Sheng lowered his eyes: "I haven't even met him, I won't marry him."
"you……"
Such a cold attitude made Grand Duke Duan Yang angry again, and he raised his palm.
Lin Sheng closed his eyes resignedly.
I just waited for a while, but there was still no movement.
She didn't open her eyes again, but only heard her father's sigh.
"Silly girl...some things don't count like that."
The Grand Duke of Duanyang really couldn't bear it.
He looked at his daughter with pain in his eyes.
How can I bear to do it with such a flesh and blood?
"Think about it..."
"In the past few years, Beizhou has been in turmoil. How many titles have been revoked and how many manors have been demolished? Why can we still live decently?"
"Without the silent support of the Nagano family over the years, Duanyang's hereditary and irreplaceable title of Anle would have been withdrawn by His Majesty long ago. How can there be the clothes you are wearing now, the tea you drink, and every meal you eat? "
Grand Duke Duanyang said anxiously: "You always have to figure out... who gave everything you enjoy now. This is the blessing of the friendship between the two ancestors for nearly a hundred years."
"I'd rather not have this blessing..."
Lin Sheng took a deep breath and said, "I've heard about the Guangming City... Since the Meng family can repent, so can I."
Bright City?
Meng family!
After Duan Yang reacted, he realized what his daughter was talking about... This is a recent incident that has caused a lot of trouble, and the whole five continents have heard about it.
The Meng family, the largest family in Guangming City, had a "scandal".
The daughter of the Meng family also clamored to divorce.
And most importantly, the reason for her resignation was to marry a little-known "little person" in Waizhou.
Duan Yang was laughed at by his daughter.
"The old man of the Meng family is known as the 'Iron Fist'. After this incident spread, the 'Iron Fist' fell ill from anger, and the whole Meng family was gloomy. Do you want me to be like that too?" the Grand Duke stroked He rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his arms, "Lin Sheng, take a look, take a good look... Your father can't compare to that iron fist, because your father's arms are made of flesh!"
"The eldest son of the Gong family, if you are disabled, you insist on not marrying, I can understand it, but he won the Nagano rookie championship last year, he can be said to be a dragon and a phoenix among people, I don't know how many people want to cling..."
Speaking of this, Duan Yang immediately reiterated, "Even if he is disabled, as long as he treats you well, you must not let him down, you must take good care of him and be considerate..."
A speech, not yet finished.
Lin Sheng said, "I have a sweetheart."
She simply showed her cards and said very seriously, "I don't care what kind of dragon and phoenix Gong Zi is, how outstanding she is, and how closely the Gong family has the title of Duanyang... I have my heart and soul, and I don't want to marry Gong Zi .”
The Grand Duke of Duanyang was stunned.
These few years.
The two have been in correspondence with each other.
He also wanted the juniors from both sides to meet earlier.
But the last time Gong Zi and Lin Sheng met was ten years ago. At that time, the two were still young, and they met through a screen. They played together after a while. From his point of view, this can be regarded as "interesting". Congenial", it's just that at that time the two parties didn't know about the marriage contract, and they didn't know how connected their fate would be in the future.
As time went by, Gong Zi became the young master of the Gong family, and his time became more and more precious.
If the two parties want to match again, Gong Zi will use "time is tight" as an excuse.
And now...
Time flies by.
Duan Yang fell silent, and only then did he realize that times are indeed changing rapidly, and a thin piece of paper for a marriage contract cannot tie two people who do not love each other together like they did in their time.
"Lord Duke!"
A voice came from outside the hall.
A servant came to the front of the hall and said in a low voice without daring to disturb him, "There is a guest outside the manor...he said his surname is Gong!"
