Chapter 99:
Lying in the middle of the night listening to the wind and rain, the Iron Horse and Glacier fell into a dream.
The name of the Tang sword Feng Chuiyu comes from this poem. It has existed for fighting since the day it was born. However, later on, the person who used it became an invincible existence, became the existence of the God of War, and even the name of this knife was called the Blade of the God of War, and its real name, Feng Biaoyu, was revealed in the years Forgotten day after day, year after year.
The current Wind and Rain looks ordinary, but in fact, it really shines because it met a legendary blacksmith, which endowed it with brand new charm and combat power. In the last life, it was this Tang The owner of the knife brought it to the blacksmith and made it shine.
And the owner of this Tang knife is none other than Ming Yuechen.
This Tang Saber accompanied Ming Yuechen to achieve his road to God of War, and it was this saber that pierced into Mo Ran's chest when she was besieged that year.
Although Mo Ran died of his own self-destruct in the previous life, this Tang Dao still has a different meaning to Mo Ran. It was Ming Yuechen who held this Tang Dao and inserted it into his chest. At that time, the dead were already like ants to human beings, even though Mo Ran knew that even if Ming Yuechen didn't do anything at that time, she would still be done by other races, but she was so hypocritical ah.
She just felt that the moment Ming Yuechen stabbed the Tang knife into her chest was a great injury and betrayal to her.
In addition, she was full of hatred for this Tang Dao.
However, when she saw this Tang Dao again, this kind of hatred involuntarily became complicated and obscure. She only had one feeling when she looked at the lonely wind blowing rain placed on the betting table, That's what she's going to get it.
She didn't know what Ming Yuechen would become in this life in the end, but Mo Ran would not let go of any factor that could affect his growth.
The middle-aged man did not ignore Mo Ran's desire for wind and rain, or it should be said that Mo Ran's desire for wind and rain is too obvious, and people can't ignore it even if they want to ignore it.
"You like it very much?" The middle-aged man tilted his head slightly
"Obviously?" Mo Ran didn't deny it either.
"Very obvious."
Mo Ran laughed, although this face was not her real face, but when she smiled, that kind of good mood couldn't even stop this fake face, and this kind of smile was very contagious , even the middle-aged man opposite seemed to feel this kind of good mood.
"But it's not so easy for you to get it." The middle-aged man's hands are slender, his nails are extremely round and clean, he folded his hands gently on the top of the card table, and smiled at Mo Ran.
"Why do you say that?" Mo Ran raised her eyebrows.
"If you want to get it, you have to beat me." The middle-aged man tapped the table a few times with his folded slender fingers. When he said this, he kept his eyes on Mo Ran's face In the expression on his face, he always had a feeling that Mo Ran would raise his left eyebrow. Although he didn't know where this feeling came from, he just felt so.
Sure enough, when he hadn't finished speaking these words, he saw Mo Ran, who was sitting opposite him, raised his left eyebrow slightly. Although he put it down quickly, but the raised eyebrow was It did not escape the eyes of the middle-aged man.
But this kind of certainty, which is as expected, has generated an unexplainable doubt in the heart of the middle-aged man. He hesitated about this doubt, but in the end he put it away, smiling confidently: "I saw you were playing cards just now, you Your poker skills are mediocre, but your poker luck is very good."
Inside the door to see the door, the layman to watch the fun.
For those who watched the battle, they were naturally shocked by Mo Ran's 40-game winning streak, but the real masters would see many other things in this kind of Defying.
Although Mo Ran didn't expect her level to be able to hide it from everyone, she was a little shocked to be seen through by someone who only watched her play a dozen rounds. She didn't dare to say anything else. At least this man is very proficient in all kinds of gambling games, so he can see her so clearly.
"As for me, I have played poker for many years, and I also have a characteristic." The middle-aged man said while slowing down.
The middle-aged man's voice is very pleasant, deep and gentle, like a cello echoing in a music hall, smooth and charming. When he speaks, he doesn't rush one sentence after another, with an innate noble temperament, The cadenced timbre hit Mo Ran's eardrum little by little. Even Mo Ran, who was extremely picky about humans, couldn't help but praise his good timbre.
It is such a good timbre that when he speaks, he can naturally attract people's attention and listen without any skills.
"This round of our bet is not so much a bet on who will win or lose, but rather, let's bet to see if your luck is better, or my card skills are better." The middle-aged man said here , the voice paused: "I never believe in luck, I don't know, do you believe it?"
Mo Ran lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes drooped like a fan, casting a faint shadow on her fair face, after a few seconds, she raised her eyes and looked at The middle-aged man said slowly: "Someone once told me that the so-called hard work in this world can change all thoughts is a kind of extreme arrogance. My fate is up to me after all. Expectations. I didn't believe it at first."
"At the beginning?" The voice of the middle-aged man rose slightly, he sounded quite interested in this hidden story of Mo Ran: "So you now?"
"I want to try it now." Mo Ran's eyes looked a little empty, the middle-aged man was staring at her, her eyes were looking at himself, but he clearly felt that this young woman was looking through him at a man like him. people who don't know.
He couldn't help being curious: "Did your lover tell you?"
Mo Ran shook her head without even the slightest hesitation: "No, it's an enemy."
This answer surprised the middle-aged man, but his curiosity only stopped there. He waved his hand, and saw a waiter coming over with cards.
The official start.
My fate is up to me, this is what Mo Ran kept telling herself in the previous life, but,
Just like the fact that the dead cannot reproduce, if she still believes that "everything can be changed with hard work", then she should agree to Xue Changfeng's arrangement now, lying on the bed with a different man instead of sitting here.
It's like her poor card skills. If she still believes that "everything can be changed with hard work", then she should not choose to fight this man now, instead of relying on luck to fight .
Maybe this kind of statement is very frustrating, but in fact, it is like this. Not everything in this world can be solved by hard work, but fate is not necessarily merciless, so it seems that anything that cannot be done Fate often leaves a glimmer of hope for things, and a smart person only needs to find this gleam of life, instead of being hit with blood.
"Sorry, I won again." Mo Ran threw down four aces, the smile on his face looked very gentle, but with a sense of distance.
As if to prove his own ideas, the goddess of fate seemed to stand behind Mo Ran from the very beginning. No matter how the game started, it would definitely end with Mo Ran's victory in the end.
Four innings, already four innings.
Mo Ran and the man agreed on eight rounds, but no matter who wins five rounds, the bet can be ended early, and now, from the beginning to the present - Mo Ran has won four rounds.
For a middle-aged man, unless he wins four consecutive rounds, there is a possibility of an extra round after the tie. Otherwise, judging from the current situation, the goddess of victory has actually stood in front of Mo Ran and raised her hand. banner.
This is a very bad situation.
If ordinary gamblers encounter such a situation, they will probably be very nervous, and even lose their temper and lose their demeanor.
However, none of these negative emotions appeared on the middle-aged man. He sat there still calm and composed, the same as when he just started the first game, even the curvature of his lips remained unchanged, and his eyes kept falling. On Mo Ran's body.
"Ah, you've won four rounds
"You don't seem depressed."
"Why should I be depressed?" The middle-aged man spread his hands.
"Of course it's not just a bet, but more importantly..." Mo Ran rested her chin on her right hand, and looked at the other party in a comfortable position: "You may be about to lose."
The middle-aged man just smiled, he seemed not interested in the topic Mo Ran talked about, instead he said: "You remind me of someone."
This kind of dialogue reminded Mo Ran that before the beginning, she laughed: "Who? Could it be an enemy?"
The middle-aged man also laughed along with Mo Ran, he paused, and said meaningfully after a few seconds: "No, he is a very important person, and I have never won against him. "
The smile on Mo Ran's lips stopped slightly, and she didn't talk to her again. From her expression, she seemed very interested in what the middle-aged man said.
But the middle-aged man didn't continue to talk about this topic, but talked about other things: "I have been wearing a mask, do you have any thoughts of wanting me to take off the mask?"
This is really a strange question, Mo Ran felt baffled: "My curiosity is not very heavy."
"That's a pity."
"What are you sorry about?"
"If you ask so, I can logically ask you to show your true face." The middle-aged man said while waving his finger at the croupier on one side, signaling him to deal the cards.
And the smile on Mo Ran's face finally calmed down when she heard these words, but after only a moment, she returned to her indifferent look.
The dealer has already started to deal the cards.
It seemed that even the Goddess of Victory heard Mo Ran's heartfelt desire to not stay and to end quickly. Next, her luck was outrageously good.
Just when Mo Ran wanted to make a quick decision, she suddenly saw a man in military uniform pushing the door and coming in from the outside. After entering the door, she subconsciously glanced in Mo Ran's direction, and then turned her face away , walked towards the middle-aged man.
It's normal for Mo Ran to let the other party not know each other, but Mo Ran does.
I saw her combing her neat short hair, wearing a straight military uniform on her body to make her stand taller, she walked quickly to the side of the middle-aged man, lowered her head and whispered something in his ear A whisper.
Her voice was very low, but because Mo Ran's level was high and her five senses were more sensitive, she still heard a few words and said a few people's names, and Ming Yuechen was the one who survived.
Mo Ran still pretended not to notice anything, put the cards upside down on the table, quietly waiting for the middle-aged man to play the cards, but unfortunately, after Yu Er finished speaking, he saw the middle-aged man rush Mo Ran showed a faint smile: "I have something to do today, why don't we come back another day?"
As he was about to stand up, Mo Ran narrowed his eyes, hesitated for a second, and then said, "Are you admitting defeat?"
The middle-aged man's footsteps that were about to leave stopped abruptly. He turned his head and looked at Mo Ran who was sitting on the chair. Through the mask, his gaze was deep as if it were an irresistible abyss, and he looked at Mo Ran quietly. , and Mo Ran didn't seem to notice the sharpness in his eyes at all, but just looked back at him in a calm manner.
A few seconds later, the middle-aged man laughed out loud, and he raised his hand to signal the waiter at the side to send the wind and rain to Mo Ran's side: "It seems that you really like this knife, it's really a What makes me happy, why don't I put this knife with you for fun? But when we meet next time, we will have another game. If you lose, you have to return the knife with interest how do I?"
Mo Ran stared at the man with squinted eyes, and a slight smile slowly appeared on her lips, which seemed to be mocking, but she still nodded: "Deal."
"By the way, in order to show my sincerity to the two of you, I have opened a room for you in the best hotel in Tiandu City. Please have a good rest. I think I will be able to deal with the matter at hand soon, so that we The next meeting will be very soon." The middle-aged man whispered a few words to the people around him, and then said to Mo Ran gently and politely.
Mo Ran just smiled: "It's better to be respectful
The middle-aged man basically explained everything he had to say and then left. He walked in a hurry, and it was obvious that things were in a hurry. Mo Ran looked at his footsteps and couldn't help but guess what happened, but she didn't Without thinking for a long time, I saw a man walk up to her and bowed to her respectfully: "The accommodation for you and your friend has been arranged, this way please."
Hearing the sound, Mo Ran raised her head and glanced at this man, and then recognized that this man was the one who had been following the middle-aged man from beginning to end. He looked extremely ordinary and had a very strong presence. Low, if Mo Ran hadn't seen the middle-aged man seriously when he looked at him seriously just now, I'm afraid he wouldn't have noticed this man.
It can be imagined that this person should be the confidant of the middle-aged man.
Those who know current affairs are Junjie.
Although Mo Ran doesn't want to be arranged by this middle-aged man who is suspected of being the owner of the human city, but, as the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and they are in the main city of humans, and they are still in the city. Under the situation of disguise, even Mo Ran is very honest and behaves with his tail between his legs.
She nodded at the man with a smile, stood up politely, and motioned for Gu Luen to follow and leave the casino, but compared to Mo Ran who was forced to follow, Gu Luen seemed much more excited. Although his expression was still calm, he knew him well. As soon as Mo Ran saw his overly bright eyes, he knew how excited he was. If he didn't have a tail, he might have poked a hole in the ceiling of the room.
I have to say that the lord of this human main city is really not stingy. Ever since Mo Ran entered the lobby, he couldn't help but feel smacked at the magnificence of the hotel. If it was before the end of the world, this level of luxury probably wouldn't matter, but , now is the end of the world...
Humans are indeed extravagant and enjoyable creatures.
Mo Ran threw herself directly on the big soft bed, closed her eyes, let herself enjoy this extravagance for a few seconds, then got up neatly from the bed, walked to the window, and hid behind the curtain , carefully looked outside.
Although not obvious, but
Tsk tsk, it really was suspected.
Mo Ran stretched out her hand, closed all the curtains in the room one by one, turned around and walked to the bathroom.
This hotel was a hotel before the end of the world, and it is quite amazing to say the least. The city where it is located has long been turned into ruins by several earthquakes, but this hotel is still standing, not only standing upright but not falling down, but also the whole The buildings did not suffer any major damage. Later, when Tiandu City was built, this hotel was directly included in the scope of Tiandu City. Although it is not in the center, as a pre-end-time building, it still retains its due luxury.
Because there is almost no damage to the overall building of the hotel, this also allows many of its things to preserve their pre-apocalyptic appearance, such as ventilation ducts.
Mo Ran moved a chair and put it in the bathtub, stepped on it and stood on tiptoe, and took off the ventilation fan without much effort, because she was very thin, so, along this ventilation fan It was not difficult to climb the pipe to the next door. In short, after twenty minutes, she was already above the bathroom in Gruun's room.
After a few clicks, the ventilation hole was opened, and Mo Ran jumped directly from the ventilation hole...
Mo Ran was sitting in the bathtub covered with water stains and bubbles, touching the back of her head that was injured just now because she jumped down and fell down. Well, a bag the size of a quail egg was hanging there, and she hissed twice in pain. Voice.
But the next moment, she heard the sound of dripping water dripping, looking for the reputation, she saw Grun who was bathing under the shower near the bathtub, covered in bubbles, and Grun seemed to have been completely frightened. Now, he was stiff as if a statue stared at Mo Ran with wide-eyed eyes.
After the two of them stared at each other for a few seconds, Gu Luen almost cried out, but Mo Ran moved faster than him, and she said directly and quickly: "Go out and get dressed!"
Gu Luen must have been stunned by this scene. He didn't react at all. He actually turned around and planned to leave the bathroom to get dressed, but when his hand just touched the glass
Mo Ran glanced up and down at Gu Luen who was still in the bathroom. Because of the water vapor, Mo Ran couldn't see anything, which made her feel a little pity, after all, the elf's figure is always good...
"What are you looking at?" Gu Luen seemed to realize something suddenly, he took off the bath towel on the shelf and wrapped himself tightly, which made the original faint The influence completely disappeared, and Mo Ran couldn't help but tsk-tsk twice.
"You you you you!" Gruen seemed even more excited. He grabbed the towel tightly and poked his head out of the bathroom, wanting to say something, but the more nervous he got, the more stupid he was. I can't even speak the words.
At this moment, he saw Mo Ran standing up from the bathtub full of water and preparing to go outside, sticking her wet clothes to her body, drawing that slim curve more and more attractive, Gu Luen subconsciously Swallowing, he immediately pulled a bath towel from the shelf and threw it in her direction without daring to look at Mo Ran.
Regardless of whether the throw hits the target, Gu Luen quickly turned his head away, and muttered in his mouth: "Get out quickly, get out quickly, don't you really know the difference between men and women at all? I'm a man anyway..."
Mo Ran, who was covered with a bath towel, felt baffled at first, but when he looked back, he saw Gruen who turned his head away, heard his muttering, and saw his long ears that had turned completely red, couldn't help laughing When she got up, while wiping her hair with a bath towel, she approached Gruen and said, "I saw that you have something wrong with me..."
Gu Luen almost seemed to see some ghost, he yelled and wanted to refute, but when he turned around just now, he found that there was no Mo Ran around him, she had already wrapped the towel tightly and left the bathroom, and her A voice with a mocking smile was coming: "Come out quickly."
come out... come out... come on...
What are you doing? !
The well-dressed Gu Luen looked at Mo Ran sitting at the small table eating the dinner provided by the hotel with a deadly fish-eyed look. His clothes had already been changed, and he
"Did you come here at night just to eat? Don't you have a room?" Gu Luen raised his hand and rubbed his forehead with his slender fingers. He felt that since he met Mo Ran, this life has been called ups and downs. Thrilling, if he hadn't been well-informed, he might have been frightened to death by her long ago.
"Hurry up and have something to eat, we can go when we're done." Mo Ran pushed the untouched food in front of him in the direction of Gu Luen, and ate it.
"Go? Where are you going?" Gu Luen also sat down to eat, but he was more interested in what Mo Ran said.
"You open a portal, you can go anywhere, hurry up." Mo Ran picked up the juice on the side and took a big sip.
"What's wrong?" Gu Luen was still a little confused.
Mo Ran didn't hide from Gu Luen, and frowned after he conjectured about the middle-aged man's identity: "I was in my room just now, and I saw someone staring on the road outside, and there were also people staring outside the door. Now, I suspect that man already knows our identities."
"Then what are you waiting for, let's go." Upon hearing these things, Gu Luen immediately dropped the food, stood up and began to chant the spell of the portal.
at the same time.
Someone outside Mo Ran's door knocked lightly. It was the man who brought Mo Ran and Gu Luen into the hotel. No one responded in the room. He turned around and asked the spies following him: "Did she not?" Are you going out?"
"No, I haven't come out since I entered the door. The brothers on the street said that she closed the curtains forty minutes ago, so she should be sleeping."
sleeping? The man paused in thought for a few seconds, a feeling of uneasiness suddenly hit his heart, he quickly turned around and knocked on the door again, but this time the knocking speed was much more rapid, and knocking on the door for about half a minute in a row was not enough. Before the people inside came to open the door, he took a step back and said to the people beside him, "Take the key to open the door."
The spies around him were obviously not prepared for this, and they didn't find the key for a long time. The man pushed the spies away, raised his foot, and kicked the door. I sneaked in.
He quickly scanned the room, but there was still Mo Ran there.
The man rushed to the bathroom and immediately saw the chair in the bathtub and the vent fan that had been removed. He didn't even think about it. He immediately turned around and rushed towards the room next door to Gruen, kicking the room open as well. The door rushed in.
It's a pity that the moment he rushed into the room, he saw the oval portal slowly disappear, and the room was already empty.
The man carefully searched the inside and outside of the room, and after confirming that Mo Ran and Gu Luen had really disappeared, he couldn't help uttering two curses in a low voice, took a deep breath, and relieved the suffocation. After dissipating his anger for a few minutes, he turned his head and left the hotel quickly.
Holding the wine bag, Mo Ran took a sip into her mouth. Standing on the hillside, she quietly looked at the brightly lit Tiandu City not far away. She couldn't help but sigh: "Humans always have such abilities, The city is bustling and beautiful.”
Gu Luen disagreed: "Our elves are not bad, and our elves' cities are also very beautiful."
"Have you ever gone back?" Speaking of this, Mo Ran calculated the time. In fact, this time should be the time when the relationship between ordinary elves and high-level elves is the most tense, especially on the day when the elves' main city was established. The tension reached its peak, and within a few months, the ordinary elves raised the banner of rebellion and overthrew the rule of the high elves.
And in that fight, all the high-ranking elves were slaughtered, except...the Gruen whose face Mo Ran saw later was ruined.
"No." Gu Luen is not shy about this topic. He is like an animal that exposes his softest belly to the most trusted person. He doesn't mind revealing his most embarrassing identity and identity in front of Mo Ran. The most awkward position.
"Actually, I haven't been back since I was exiled from the kingdom of elves when I was fourteen years old, and it's been six years now." Gu Luen narrowed his eyes, his purple hair was blown up by the night wind: " However, I think the cities built by elves must be much more beautiful than those built by humans."
Gu Luen looked at Tiandu City in the night, his eyes were blurred and soft, as if he was looking at his own through this majestic city.
Probably everyone has an incomparable nostalgia for their hometown, just like a child must love his mother unconditionally, even if the mother is strict and cruel to him, but the love from the heart of the child is still inseparable and cover up.
This reminded Mo Ran of that woman and the man who promised her to come back to pick her up.
Turning her head back, Mo Ran also looked at Tianducheng. The curvature of her lips was stained with a bit of loneliness, but soon, even this bit of loneliness disappeared. She looked at the bright lights, Without looking back, he said to Gu Luen beside him, "Let's share the spoils."
"What?" Gu Luen's nostalgia had not yet reached its peak, but was suddenly wiped away by Mo Ran's flying words, and he asked extremely sharply: "Did your conscience discover it? You finally remembered the inhuman fact that I was taken as a collateral by you."
Mo Ran blinked innocently, looking very surprised: "Where do you think you left? I'm talking about something in the 'Ancient Miracle'. Don't you think we should share it equally?"
Grun: …
