Haidu: Top of the Tower

Chapter 31
"……I do not quite understand."

The round face of the patriarch during the meeting, which has always been good-tempered, changed slightly at this time, as if a ball of dough was suddenly squeezed out; it was like some kind of ancient giant tortoise gradually sticking out its head under the smell of its prey, Doze off again.

Standing behind the younger brother of Huiji's family, with bright eyes, he asked in a low voice: "You said, Haidu is about to undergo a change...and maybe it is very important to me?"

Milady nodded. "I am willing to offer this news with both hands as a proof of my sincerity."

During the meeting, the patriarch turned around and nodded to her, making up a meeting gift. "Appreciate further details."

"I have two targets in the sinking battle. The first one is Luo Geng, so there is no need to say more about it. The second one," Milady paused, and said in a deep voice, "is Yugan. "

During the meeting, the patriarch remained expressionless.

"You may think that because Sidado blocked me in the game, I was going to take away the target he should sink." Milady observed him, and said, "But we all know that Sidado blocked me in the game. I mean to judge the family, and my insistence on defeating Luo Geng is enough to cause me trouble in the future, why bother to further anger them and become a complete enemy? I am not stupid, and I will not be arrogant."

"It's rare for you to be so sensible at such a young age." The patriarch of the meeting sighed.

Milady smiled and said, "So, it's not my intention to let Siyado...no, let the executioners not be able to produce a patriarch this year."

The patriarch obviously didn't move during the meeting, but at that moment, it seemed that something suddenly raised his head. "The change you mentioned... so it refers to this." He gradually frowned, "But why?"

Letting the Executioner Family fail this year is of course the meaning of the Judgment Family.

As a violent department that is focused on training, the Executioner Family has been on the rise all the way, and now it has become the second largest force in Haidu; now the Judgment Family has actually taken action against them, which can be said to be an earthquake-like change in the power structure of Haidu ——For any deliberative family, 12 points of attention must be paid.

"I don't know," Milady lied and said with a smile, "I think you should know better than me. After all, I'm just a temporary knife they use during the game."

She is not very clear about the undercurrents in Haidu's political situation, but judging from the face of the patriarch during the meeting, this news should be very important; what does it mean, and which door it can open, Milady does not know. knew.

"You...how do you prove it?" The patriarch couldn't restrain the emotions in his heart during the meeting, and his voice was a little hoarse when he uttered the first word.

"I can't prove it." Milady asked back: "How do you say I can prove it? It's often too late for this kind of thing."

During the meeting, the patriarch was silent for a while.

"However, there is one thing, maybe it can be regarded as evidence..." Milady added, "During the 'tear down the east wall to make up the west wall', in order to make it easier for Luo Geng to deal with me, you all received arrangements, didn't you?"

During the meeting, the patriarch nodded without any embarrassment.

"This time, is there?" Milady asked with a smile, "No?"

He was silent for a while.

"But I don't understand. What's the reason..." The patriarch of the meeting seemed to be muttering to himself, "The dog you raised bites back?"

Milady was not going to tell him. "As I said, this news is just a proof of my sincerity. The reason why I tell you it is because I want to cooperate with you."

During the meeting, the patriarch thought for a while and asked, "Could it be that you want the spare badge from me?"

Milady nodded.

"Is it cooperation, or is it helping you?" The patriarch laughed during the meeting.Don't look at him as if he walked away quietly at the beginning of the game, but he didn't expect to see everything clearly from nowhere. "I know, you gave your badge to the Malt of the Windhorn family. This idea of ​​bringing disaster to the east is really amazing... You have changed from a prey to a hunter in one fell swoop. You are trying to exchange someone else's badge now." ? Of course it's good for you, but I don't see how it's good for me."

Milady stood erect among the trees.She was a little taller than the patriarch of the meeting, and when she watched him lower his chin slightly, it almost seemed to be regretting that the other party was not enlightened.

"I see that I have fought side by side with me once at the Huiji family, and I am willing to offer you this opportunity, not the Changge family." She said slowly,

All three members of the meeting family were suspicious.The elder sister couldn't help asking: "You gave us the opportunity to help you?"

"Let's be honest," said Milady, looking at the leader of the meeting. "Without me, your choices are two, the badge or not, right? If I'm not wrong, there is neither." The choice is particularly attractive to you, isn't it?"

The session patriarch sighed.

"You may not know," he said, clasping his hands together, "but we, the patriarchs, have already inquired about the situation of the Fengjiao family before the competition. The population is dying and the situation is difficult. The entire Fengjiao family is just a grandmother And the girl named Malt. I gave her the badge, and she became the patriarch, so what's the use? She couldn't eat the food that the trial family allocated to her. I gave her the badge, which means doing it for nothing Good man, send her into the Ocean Wave Concerto Chamber to have a look at the light."

Milady nodded slowly.

"I understand. She has nothing now, and any promises she makes are like hanging in the air, floating in the wind... She can't stand on her feet, so she can't provide value for you and the Changge family. What's more, there are many For a discussion family, one more vote means one more point of uncertainty, no wonder you and Changge patriarch are not very enthusiastic."

She suddenly smiled. "However, because of me, the situation is different now."

The three people on the opposite side glanced suspiciously at her face.

Milady explained: "Now I want to execute the will of the trial family, take away the badge of Yugan, and defeat Siyado. But what is the use of holding the badge of the executioner's family? I will naturally exchange it for malt Back to my own badge. I can tell you that Malt only needs one badge now."

"You already got Yugan's badge?" The patriarch was surprised during the session. "where?"

"Why would I carry it with me?"

This was the second lie Milady told today, but she said it with a normal expression, as if she was saying that it was going to rain today. "If it were you, would you carry it with you? Of course, it must be hidden in a place that only I know, and I won't take it out until the end. No matter how crazy Xiyado is during this period, the result is already doomed, no It changed again."

It took the patriarch of the meeting several seconds to digest the shock.Milady also knew that he couldn't be expected to believe everything at once, but even half-believing, she had achieved her goal.

"But I still don't understand, what's in it for me." He said calmly.

"If it is said that Malt's promise is of little significance and her value as an ally is not high, then how about adding me?" Milady tilted her head and said with a smile: "If you give me the badge, it is equivalent to handing over the badge at the same time." Two friends, Wind Horn and High Tower. The most important thing is that if you choose to cooperate with me, you are indirectly standing with the Judgment Family. Do you still think that it doesn’t make much difference whether you give the badge or not? "

Fearing that this was not enough for the patriarch of the meeting to make up his mind, she stabbed again: "Of course, if you don't want to, I have to give this opportunity to the Changge family."

The patriarch of the meeting glanced at her.

"You're right...you're not from the patriarchal background, you may not know what this prospect means to me." He pondered.

Milady's heart skipped a beat, but she heard another "but".

"As the head of the clan, I must consider the risks while considering the benefits." The patriarch said slowly during the meeting, "If the risks are not minimized and the benefits are maximized, then I might as well remain still."

...the door does not seem to be completely closed.

Milady tentatively asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"

The patriarch of the meeting period smiled, turned around and waved to the sister of the meeting period.

Strange to say, a few weeks ago, Milady's status in Haidu's big family was inferior to that of Huiqi's siblings; now when she was discussing with the Huiqi patriarch, the siblings could hardly intervene. It wasn't until the patriarch waved that the elder sister approached and called out, "Uncle."

"Let little Fergie stay and guard, and you go with Milady."

During the meeting, the patriarch seemed to be sure that Milady would agree to his proposal, and turned to her and said, "I accept your proposal, but I want to change it so that we can cooperate in a real sense. This part of our family As for the badge, I decided to hold it by myself. As for the badge you need, let Fanhua take you to get it...she will try her best to make sure you get the badge."

Milady narrowed her eyes. "who?"

"Didn't the last round of Mengsheng's family almost hurt you?" The patriarch of the meeting smiled and said, "Let you vent your anger, okay? She has already got a mechanism. With her here, you will be able to get it smoothly." To the badge of the Mengsheng family."

He really deserves to be someone who has been in power all year round, Milady thought suddenly.What if she didn't get Yugan's badge at all, and the patriarch handed over his badge again during the meeting, wouldn't it be a waste of water in the bamboo basket in the end?Maybe even offended people because of it.Tell her to get Mengsheng's badge, so it is Mengsheng who suffers, but the meeting period who benefits.

One thing is for sure: the Huijijia will definitely benefit from the Mengshengjia's downfall.Whether it's a conflict of interests or land division, she doesn't know.

"Yes, but I have a request." Milady said with a smile: "You have an extra piece, since you don't plan to use it, let it be destroyed."

The patriarch of the meeting was taken aback.

"I'm here to watch you destroy it." Milady said, "There is no rule of the game that you cannot destroy the badge, right? You smash it, so I can rest assured... Otherwise, how do I know that you won't accept it?" Come down and give it to Luo Geng, bet on both sides?"

"You really only?" The patriarch of the session shook his head and asked with a wry smile.

She could only shrug her shoulders.

The development of the situation to the present stage is by no means a bad thing for her.

She also had to leave a way out for herself. If Yugan's badge was not in her hand for a while, she would have no guarantee for a while.Fanhua led her to the residence of the two of Mengsheng's family, which meant that she had access to two badges.As long as he snatched both pieces, it was enough to exchange his badge back to Malt.

Most importantly, the small fragment of the session badge in her hand had secured her an ally.

This is a world where everyone gets what they need, conflicts collide, and dark thorns abound. Milady has to learn to get used to it early.

Fanhuaren lives up to her name, she speaks and acts gentle and gentle, and when she grinned, she would bit her lower lip with the tip of her white teeth in embarrassment, almost the most standard appearance of a girl, and even the organ she found looked like a small bird. Like a jewel box.

It was her appearance that gave Milady a somewhat unreal sense of trance.

"Rogen?"

Fanhua stood on the edge of the cliff, holding the "small jewelry box" in one hand, pointed at the Mengsheng family member who was guarding the watch on the white beach below, and said, "He is also coming in this direction, he should be on this side of the island Come on. He seems to be quite good at finding traces of human footsteps in the jungle, like a hunter."

Before she finished speaking, she flicked the mechanism with a "snap", and a black shadow shot straight at the back of the head of the Mengsheng clansman who was looking at the gray sea.

In the next second, before Milady could react, Fan Hua jumped down the cliff together with the black shadow—as nimble and powerful as an antelope, she rose and fell on the cliff several times, and when she rolled on the spot, she fell off the cliff. Going to the falling position, when he jumped from the rolling white sand to the Mengsheng tribe, his body had just collapsed, when she grabbed the collar and picked him up again.

From a distance, it seemed that the Mengsheng clansman was still standing.

Milady froze on the edge of the cliff.Is this the same girl as in the warm-up match?

Fanhua poked out half of her face from behind the shoulders of the mengsheng clansman, looked around, but suddenly became anxious, and made several gestures towards the other side of the beach.Turning her head in that direction, Milady immediately saw the fat and thick back of the head of the Mengsheng family, who was fleeing to the distance with one foot deep and one foot shallow. It was probably just a coincidence that she saw the scene where her family was attacked just now. .

Milady was also aroused to be a teenager, and she didn't want to be inferior in front of her.

On the top of the cliff extending along the white sand beach, every step she sprinted seemed to repel the rugged rocks. Before the patriarch Mengsheng realized that the pursuers were actually on the head, Milady had seized the opportunity, Like a wild eagle hitting the air, he jumped down from the cliff.

The patriarch Mengsheng didn't even have time to groan in pain, and was knocked over by Milady on the sand, and smashed into the white sand mist together; he was startled, angry and frightened, twisted and struggled, kicked with both feet, but was With all her strength, Milady punched her temple—her bones were extremely hard, and her middle knuckles were bent high from between her fists. This punch made Chief Mengsheng feel as if he had been hit by a blunt awl, and he struggled. His strength immediately weakened by half.

When Fanhua walked over with her head outstretched, Milady had already climbed up from the sand, out of breath.

Her whole body was covered in sand; her right hand suffered from repeated beatings in a short period of time, her bones were in pain, and the skin on her joints had already cracked and bled. Compared with the flowers, she looked a lot more embarrassed.

"So you're so ruthless," Fanhua stared at the people on the ground, and asked her, "Have you passed out? What about the badge, did you get it?"

Milady smiled and showed her a badge engraved with Mengsheng's logo.The other piece is in her trouser pocket, but she is not going to tell Fanhua.

"Okay," Fanhua breathed a sigh of relief, "I have to go before they wake up."

"Wait a minute," Milady asked, "from which direction did you find your mechanism?"

Fanhua recalled for a few seconds, then pointed to the island.

Milady frowned slightly.If she remembers correctly, it should be in the direction of the small lake...

"But after I picked up this one, I didn't see any more nearby. Even if you went, I don't know if you can find more mechanisms."

Regarding this point, Milady was a little more confident than her.

Because when she thought about it carefully now, she always felt that the undulating black shadow on the surface of the small lake seemed a bit too big, and it didn't seem like the shadow naturally produced when the waves folded.
