Chapter 129 Unbelievable
The feud between Wang Yao and Zhang Shao originated from when 2da had just taken office as the leader of the bottom army but was deliberately made difficult by internal staff.
Seeing his comrades being trapped, and because Wang Yao's mentality was extremely unstable at the time, he rudely slapped the entire bottom lane army in the face: he single-handedly defeated the five centurions of the bottom lane army.
This record has been circulated among the soldiers of the entire legion since then, and has also caused Zhang Shao to suffer a lot of humiliation.
Therefore, when they were on the high ground of Wu State, Wang Yaocai deliberately arranged Zhao Yun to come for support, because he did not want to come to the bottom lane. This place was like a tiger's mouth and a wolf's den to him.
but--
People say that when enemies meet, they are particularly jealous of each other, but the strange thing is that Zhang Shao, who was walking leisurely from a distance at this time, not only did not have the slightest hatred on his face, but instead had a smile on his face.
A smile that is hard to understand.
"The bottom lane isn't the place for you. Find a chance to go back to the top lane."
At this moment, 2da's voice sounded faintly from beside him.
Wang Yao was stunned for a moment, and turned to look at 2da, who almost fought with him a second ago. However, 2da did not respond to Wang Yao's gaze, but just looked at Zhang Shao in front of him.
Wang Yao didn't say anything, just nodded slightly without leaving any trace.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that Erda's eyes had changed. They were no longer like before. Although he was always silent, his eyes were always caring.
"Captain Yao Qian, it's been a while since we last met. How have you been recently?" Zhang Shao walked closer and actually bowed to Wang Yao very politely.
This sudden reverse development made Wang Yao, who had been sharpening his beard, stunned for a moment, and also made Erda frown.
What's going on? Did this rich kid forget to take his medicine when he went out today?
Logically speaking, the bottom lane is their home ground, and with Zhang Shao's extremely domineering personality, and two super soldiers armed to the teeth beside him, with so many advantages, shouldn't Zhang Shao do his best to provoke him, and then take the opportunity to teach him a lesson to vent his previous hatred?
Could it be that Liu Bei had something to say to Zhang Fei in private?
"Greetings, Master Zhang." Wang Yao bowed in return.
Although he was a little confused, as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, and Wang Yao is not the kind of person who would take the initiative to pick trouble and seek attention. Since the other person's attitude is so sincere and friendly, he is naturally very happy that they can put aside their grudges and laugh it off.
"At this time of great war, I wonder why Captain Yao Qian is not in the upper road commanding the troops to resist the State of Wu, but is visiting our lower road. What business is that?" Zhang Shao asked respectfully with a smile on his face, as if the previous conflict had never happened.
Enduring the discomfort caused by Zhang Shao's shrill voice, Wang Yao smiled faintly and said, "It's a long story, but anyway, I have urgent military information to report to the higher-ups, so I want to borrow your lower road to return to the high ground. I wonder if Master Zhang can make some concessions?"
"What are you talking about?" Zhang Shao smiled even more and said, "We are all members of the Shu army. How can we distinguish between you and us? Besides, you have military intelligence to deal with. Please leave as soon as possible."
What a twist!
Wang Yao was puzzled by Zhang Shao's unusual behavior, so much so that he turned around tentatively and said, "So, am I really leaving?"
"We can't let him go!"
Before Zhang Shao could answer, an angry roar suddenly sounded beside him.
"Sir, the thing you asked us to find might have been secretly hidden by this kid!"
The two soldiers who were thrown out by Wang Yao were seen getting up from the ground in a panic, glaring at Wang Yao with bared teeth.
Snapped--
However, what they got in response was a loud slap in the face!
The soldier covered his burning cheeks and looked at Zhang Shao in panic and surprise, not understanding why his boss suddenly slapped him.
Looking down at the puzzled soldier, Zhang Shao said sarcastically, "You bastard, Wang Yao is the captain of the army on the road. You are just a centurion. What qualifications do you have to act so presumptuous here? Get out of here!"
After scolding his subordinates, Zhang Shao immediately smiled and turned back to ask: "I am not good at disciplining the soldiers, I hope Captain Yao Qian will not be offended."
"No." Wang Yao said in a daze.
For a moment, Zhang Shao's image suddenly became majestic in Wang Yao's mind.
After a pause, Zhang Shao said meaningfully: "Although it is a bit redundant, I still want to ask, Captain Yao Qian, you should not have picked up a red crystal nearby, right?"
"No." Wang Yao hesitated for two seconds and shook his head. Although Zhang Shao suddenly seemed to be very sensible and people's impression of him changed greatly, even so, Wang Yao could not give up the energy crystal. After all, strictly speaking, he was the one who destroyed the enemy's defense tower, so it was reasonable for him to hold the energy crystal.
"I understand." Zhang Shao looked into Wang Yao's eyes, but did not delve into the details. He just made way for him and said, "Then I will not delay Captain Yao. Please return to the high ground as soon as possible."
"Thank you." Nodding slightly to Zhang Shao, Wang Yao bowed sincerely, then turned his head to look at 2da, and found that 2da was silently lowering his head. Then he walked past the soldiers and went towards the high ground alone.
It should be said that Zhang Shao's performance is completely opposite to Erda's.
Originally, from the moment Zhang Shao showed up, Wang Yao predicted that a conflict would be inevitable between them. However, the development of the matter took a 180-degree turn. The comrade-in-arms who should have treated him warmly now looked at him coldly, while the former opponent greeted him with a smile today.
Life is truly an intriguing journey!
Looking at the blue sky, Wang Yao sighed with emotion.
Perhaps Zhang Shao was not just a dandy boy? After all, as the second son of one of the commanders of the Shu Kingdom, Zhang Shao should understand that in this valley, in the face of national hatred and family feuds, the enemy should be the invading Wu Kingdom, not personal grudges.
Wang Yao thought so.
Crossing the vast plain and bypassing the ruins of the destroyed Shu Kingdom's first defense tower, Wang Yao walked towards the highlands while admiring the pleasant canyon scenery and the traces left by the war.
Before they knew it, they had been walking for three hours and were getting closer and closer to the second defense tower in the bottom lane of Shu Kingdom.
Just at this time.
Buzz-buzz——
Suddenly, without any warning, a very regular vibration frequency came from my arms.
What is that? Is the energy crystal vibrating?
Wang Yao subconsciously reached into his arms, but the expression on his face froze in an instant.
What was vibrating was not the energy crystal, but his cell phone!
In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Wang Yao had already switched his mobile phone to silent mode when he led the special attack team to attack the second defense tower of Wu State on the road. After all, no one wants to hear an impassioned BGM suddenly sounding when they are in ambush. Wouldn't that be very embarrassing?
Although it was impossible for a phone to receive incoming calls in this alien world, Wang Yao still turned on the mute mode out of instinctive habit he had developed on Earth.
Regardless, none of this matters anymore.
Wang Yao was shocked when he saw the number "0003" displayed on the vibrating phone screen in silent mode.
This is truly an incredible day!!
First, Zhang Shao turned over a new leaf, becoming a humble and open-minded young man. Then, in this alien world without any satellite signals, someone actually called from a high-tech mobile phone product on Earth!
In this alien world where magic and cold weapons are combined, does anyone else have a cell phone? !
With shaking hands, Wang Yao swiped the answer button while enduring the shock brought by the collapse of his worldview.
".Hello?"
At this moment, an idea that had disappeared for a long time suddenly appeared in Wang Yao's mind for no reason; he might have to go home!
Swallowing saliva nervously, Wang Yao waited anxiously for the response from the other end of the phone.
It was as if the world had lost all sound and the silence lasted for about 30 seconds.
".Xin?! You, you're still alive?!"
It was a very sweet and tender voice, but Wang Yao could feel the shock, astonishment, joy, nostalgia, and myriad complex emotions contained in it even through the phone.
The other party didn't seem to expect anyone to answer the phone.
".Xin? Who? Who are you?!"
