Steel Chang'an

Chapter 18

"Hey," after walking out of Ghost Street, Mu Yun finally couldn't bear it any longer, and caught up with Li Jing and asked, "What are you keeping behind?"

"Are you kidding me?" Li Jingfeng said lightly, "I rushed to Ghost Street only after I learned that Zhuo Renyue followed the Northwest Canglang Cavalry out of the city. How do you think I have time to stay behind?"

"Then just now..." Mu Yun broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of the three of them walking swaggeringly within the attack range of so many mechas, like three human targets.

"Haha," Li Jing actually smiled happily, "Just now I gambled on people's hearts. You must know that people who like to play tricks and tricks are mostly suspicious. Even if Zhuo Renyue thinks rationally that I can't leave behind , but he has already been scared by you playing ten times before. It's like sitting at the gambling table with a big hand, knowing that there is only a [-]% chance that the card in my hand is higher than his One, but he didn't dare to show his cards against this one percent!
"Then again, even if Zhuo Renyue dares to show their cards, our three targets are too small for heavy mechas. The attack interface in the mechas will show that the accuracy of locking the targets is insufficient. Even if they want to do it, they can only do it." With manual aiming, in this case, even if they fire, we still have a one percent chance of survival!"

You dare to bet one percent!Mu Yun's heart went crazy!Although he himself is also a madman who would give it a go as long as there is one percent hope, but he has always only bet on his own life.Like Li Jing who gambled three lives at once without any care, Mu Yun suddenly felt that he was weak-he must have had a brain failure at that time, so he followed Li Jing without hesitation!
Mu Yun wiped off his cold sweat. Although he had already realized how unreliable it was to follow Li Jing just now, he still had to follow Li Jing now because he had a reason that was difficult to explain...

After walking out of Ghost Street, the three of them quickly got into a narrow alley where mechs could never enter, turned a few more turns, and came to a street that was almost as dilapidated as Ghost Street.Li Jing and Su Sheng turned into a small dark restaurant, and Mu Yun also felt hungry and growled, so he followed them in.After struggling for a long time, he finally sat down at the table where Li Jing and Su Sheng sat.

"Hey, what are you doing with us? Now that you know who I am, you won't even want to get my idea, right?"

As soon as Mu Yun's butt touched the chair, Su Sheng asked with wide eyes.

What's the meaning!Just now I saved your life by mistake, now I turn my face and deny you!Mu Yun said angrily: "Didn't your boss ask me to go with you before?"

"Oh, yes," Li Jing said slowly while looking at the menu, "Before I was worried that the Knights would really open fire, and one more target would help spread the firepower. Now it's none of your business, you can go."

What's the meaning!Although he knew that Li Jing told him to leave, he definitely had no good intentions, but asking people to be a meat target to disperse the firepower, does this kind of thing need to be said so bluntly!Mu Yun really wanted to kick over the table, pat his ass and leave, but he couldn't...

Seeing that Li Jing and Su Sheng were only focusing on studying the menu and deliberately ignoring his existence, Mu Yun had no choice but to knock on the table and said, "Hello——"

"What are you doing?" Li Jing and Su Sheng asked in unison without raising their heads.

"I'm out of money." Mu Yun whispered.

As the saying goes, a penny can't kill a hero, and now Mu Yun is the hard-to-die hero, he really doesn't even have a penny in his pocket, even if he wants to order a bowl of Yangchun noodles in this small dilapidated restaurant rise.This is why Mu Yun is so hard to tell.

Li Jing and Su Sheng glanced at each other, and said in unison, "What's none of my business?"

"Ahem," as soon as the unspeakable thing was said, Mu Yun also decided to be cheeky, "Before I transferred all my savings into the account of your machine repair shop. Although there is not much money, there is still More than 300 million, I don’t want you to return all of them to me, as long as one-third is enough.”

"No." Before Su Sheng could speak, Li Jing flatly refused.Although Mu Yun knew that his request was too much, but Li Jing refused directly, and Mu Yun couldn't help getting angry: Even if you pretend to think about it, it's fine!

"To be honest, I really don't care about your little money. But it is impossible to return the money to you, even if it is a penny." Li Jing pointed at Mu Yun with his chopsticks and said, "First, now that I have been expelled from Chang'an and openly confronted the Knights, my account must have been blocked."

"Second, even if my account is not blocked, I can't withdraw money to you," Li Jing continued, "In order to track Su Sheng's whereabouts, the Chang'an shogunate and Zhuo Renyue's subordinates will definitely track my account. Once I move the money in the account, they will know our whereabouts immediately."

After finishing speaking, Li Jing shrugged his shoulders, "So in the final analysis, you can't get the money back. It can only be said that your luck is really bad. Maybe God really doesn't like you. Seeing that you are so unlucky For sake, let me treat you to a bowl of noodles!"

……

After a while, noodles were served.

Mu Yun looked at the bowl of Yangchun noodles in front of him, and felt the urge to throw the bowl away: "I said I would like a bowl of noodles, but there is really only one bowl of noodles, and I don't even add an egg. Do you want to be so stingy?"

"Are you listening to me?" Facing the bowl of noodles in clear soup, Li Jing also sighed in a rare way, "My account has been blocked, so naturally I don't have any money on me, by the way, Su Sheng, Do you have any money on you?"

"Master, I have nothing else on me except money!" Su Sheng said proudly, throwing out a wallet, "Fortunately, I have always been very crisis-conscious, boss, I have saved all the pocket money you gave me earlier Already!"

"I know I read you right!" Li Jing praised, picked up the wallet and opened it to take a look: "What's the matter, only three thousand gold pounds?"

"Boss, the pocket money you give me every month doesn't exceed a hundred gold pounds..." Su Sheng whispered.

Mu Yun was shocked, deeply shocked.The son of Su Mugan, the majestic king of the North, was working as an apprentice in Li Jing's shop. Not only did he have no salary, but his monthly pocket money was only a hundred gold pounds. He had a new understanding of how stingy Li Jing was.

"You still follow this kind of boss?" He couldn't help asking Su Sheng.

"Don't say that, although the boss doesn't pay wages, he is actually a very nice person." Su Sheng obviously admired Li Jing very much, and immediately defended him.

"Well, we're going to the northern border now. It's a long way. Three thousand gold pounds is definitely not enough." The conversation about the word "salary" was obviously blocked by Li Jing, and he only listened to his own analysis. "Especially in the current situation, even if the Chang'an shogunate did not publicly offer a reward, they must be secretly looking for us. The major roads on the mainland have probably set up checkpoints. Our road must be dangerous, and we must add some equipment before we can go on the road." ..."

Li Jing stroked his chin, looked at Su Sheng, and said, "I can't help it. I can only find a black market later, and unload a few parts from your body, and exchange some travel expenses first."

Mu Yun was shocked again that there is still this way to take people apart and sell them.It was only then that he remembered that because Su Sheng suffered from a strange disease of necrosis of the nervous system since he was a child, his whole body except his head had been replaced with prosthetic limbs.The high-end prosthetic limbs like Su Sheng's, which look like real people in terms of appearance and flexibility, are expensive even for a small part.

The prosthetic parts all over the body add up, if not 1000 million, there must be several million... Suddenly, Mu Yun looked at Su Sheng with different eyes, naked, as if he was looking at a pile of money.If it wasn't for Mu Yun's bottom line, with his current poverty level, he really wanted to hijack this child directly, and he could sell it for several million when he took it apart...

Mu Yun was looking at Su Sheng, but Li Jing was also looking at Mu Yun, and his eyes were exactly the same as Mu Yun's looking at Su Sheng.Mu Yun turned her head, saw Li Jing's eyes, and immediately became vigilant, and asked, "Why? Could it be that you also want to take a kidney off my body and sell it?"

"Hehe, don't worry, all the organs in your body can't be sold for a lot of money." Li Jing smiled and said, "I was thinking, you have neither money nor a place to go, and you can't even eat a bowl of noodles." How about going to the northern border with us and including food and lodging along the way?"

"Why? This time, do you want me to be a human target to disperse the firepower, or do you want to be a thug for nothing?" Mu Yun was still very vigilant. He believed that with Li Jing's character, he would definitely not be recruited to form a team for him. For the sake of thinking, there is definitely a conspiracy to provide food and lodging along the way!

"Cough, you think too much," Li Jing coughed, "I invite you to go to the north with me, it's definitely for your own good. Of course, when necessary, I really want to use your help. As for whether to be a human target or a thug , it depends on the specific circumstances.”

"Oh?" Mu Yun asked hesitantly, "What good will it do me to go to the northern border with you?"

"For example," Li Jing narrowed his eyes, "I will give you a chance to become a knight!"

"Hehe," even Mu Yun couldn't help but sneer this time, he now understands Zhuo Renyue's mood a little bit, after getting along with Li Jing for a long time, it's really easy to have the urge to grab his head and hit the wall, "Brother, have you figured out the situation?

"You have already been expelled from Chang'an. Even if you were once the number one knight, you don't even have a mech now. What kind of knight is you? A person who can't be a knight himself, why give me a chance to become a knight? "

"No, you're wrong." Li Jing replied seriously, "Even if I don't have a mecha, I'm still a knight. Even if I'm expelled from Chang'an, I still have something in my heart that I want to protect. The one who really has nothing is yourself!

"You are not a real knight yet. Although your mech operation level is very high, it is not enough to make you a real knight with your superb mecha operation! This is why you lost to me !

"A real knight has the city and the people he wants to protect, but you have nothing! A man who just fights for himself will not become strong. If you want to be a real knight, if you want to be strong, you must find The person I really want to protect!"

Mu Yun put down his chopsticks and stood in awe, thinking that Li Jing was worthy of being the number one knight in the Pangu Continent in the past. Not only was his mecha operation superb, but his eloquence was also top-notch.What he said just now actually made his blood boil, as if the chivalry spirit that had long been forgotten on this continent was awakened by Li Jing again from his heart!
"Now, there is such an opportunity in front of you!" Li Jing said a little thirsty, picked up the noodle soup, took a big gulp, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and continued, "This trip to the north, the future is uncertain. As Zhuo Renyue said, I am too old to fight for a long time. Therefore, the future of the Iron League in the North and the safety of Su Sheng, the successor of the Iron League lord, must be entrusted to you to protect! "

What are you doing!After talking for a long time, it turned out that I was just asked to be a bodyguard!Mu Yun shouted in his heart.What I said earlier is that food and housing are included, and to put it bluntly, it means that I have to work for nothing!What was it that moved me just now!
"How about it, young man," Li Jing said with a smile, obviously ignorant of Mu Yun's inner cries, "Come on the journey with us and become a real knight!"

Silence, a long silence.Mu Yun was struggling in his heart, struggling between flipping the table and leaving or flipping the table and leaving after eating the last noodle.

In the end, Mu Yun sighed, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the last noodle, and said: "Okay, I will go to the northern border with you, but not because I believe your nonsense, but because you at least have to eat and eat." live."

"Let's go on the road!" After finishing speaking, Mu Yun swallowed the last noodle, and walked out first, leaving only a cold back and a cold sentence——

"Remember, I will put at least one egg in my noodles in the future."
