Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 173 It’s Better to Dance
Jiang Baiman cannot stand alone with dozens of guards. All she can do is stare at them to prevent anyone from looking for opportunities to explode his head out of Shang Jianyao’s sight.

Anyway, whoever dares to make a difference, she will point his “name” with a pistol.

But this was a temporary solution, not a permanent cure. Her thoughts turned sharply, and she felt like walking a tightrope above the abyss.

After a second or two, Jiang Baiman laughed, with a helpless tone, loudly said:

“My companion has always had problems with his brain and has been seeing a mental doctor for a long time.

“In short, he is mentally ill and is a lunatic.

“We went to Yecao City this time to save money through missions so that he can find a better doctor.

“Everyone, I am not cracking a joke. He really dares to press it down. Don’t use his life to bet the guts of a madman.

“Is there anything a madman can’t do? He even dared to kill himself!”

Originally, Zhao Zhengqi and the others saw that Shang Jianyao had a straight eyebrow, was not young, and his companion was very beautiful. He thought he might not be a ruthless character who could die together with everyone in the chamber. He was considering Don’t put pressure on him, let him mess around and show a weak spot, only to hear such words.

Their hearts are tight, and all their calculations come to an abrupt end.

This is not to say that they completely believed Jiang Baiman’s words, but this kind of thing is just in case.

What if this is really a mental illness, is it really a lunatic?

He doesn’t want to live, others don’t want to die!

At this time, Odick recalled the various performances of Shang Jianyao. Although he did not want to admit it, he still reminded:
“He really might have a problem with his brain.

“It’s the first time we cooperated. I thought he was abnormal before.”

The reason Odick said this fact was because he was worried that the nobles would be too reckless, intensifying the conflict, and causing everyone to be sent to the sky by the “little mushroom”.

Regarding such an evaluation, Shang Jianyao not only did not feel insulted, but also nodded with a smile:
“Yes, I have a doctor’s certificate, and I can show it to you later.”

While speaking, his eyes moved back and forth on the mechanical monk Jingnian and the “senior hunter” Odick.

Then, he smiled and added:
“I know you are awakened, and there may be more here.

“But I must tell you in advance that the forces behind me are very good at making biological prostheses, and there will be auxiliary chips in them. Even if the scope is right now, if you find the opportunity to control me with your ability, my fingers may also do Press down.”

While talking, his smile became brighter and he looked around and said:

“I may be lying or telling the truth. You can guess if it is true.”

Seeing his smile, Xu Liyan, Zhao Zhengqi, Francisco and other nobles and their bodyguards shuddered inexplicably, seeming to experience the hidden madness.

The brighter the smile, the more they feel that there is shadow under their skin.

Jingnian and Odick and the others know that Shang Jianyao is very likely to be lying, but they dare not bet that the other party must be lying.

Especially the mechanical monk Jing Nian really had a strong premonition of danger, which made him believe that the madman really dared to press the remote control to detonate all explosives.

The “Animal Path of Six Roads of Samsara” he prepared was not used in the end.

As far as he is concerned, he is not too afraid of an explosion of this level. Even if the mechanical body is definitely destroyed, as long as the core components under heavy protection can survive, it will be half a month after ten days. A good monk.

And Jiang Baiman at the back of Shang Jianyao resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said in his heart:
“I also learned this move…”

Everything that Shang Jianyao said just now is true. Even if the mechanical monk has “His Heart Connects”, he can’t find the problem.

The only problem is that the result they derived from these words can only be:
Shang Jianyao has biological prostheses and auxiliary chips, which can detonate explosives under control!

It is Jiang Baiman who actually has a biological prosthesis and an auxiliary chip.

This speaking from a certain perspective belongs to a large-scale “reasoning clown” with no awakened ability.

Seeing that everyone present seemed to be shocked, the mechanical monk Jing Nian used electronic synthesis of the sound channel:

“Nanwu Ahundara San Miao San Bodhi, what is the purpose of the donor doing this?”

“Guess.” Shang Jianyao said with a relaxed smile.

Really lunatic… Xu Liyan, Zhao Zhengqi and the others completely believed Jiang Baiman’s previous remarks.

This kind of madness, this kind of neuroticism, can’t be played!
At this time, Jiang Baiman coughed and did not let Shang Jianyao continue to “provoke” Zen Master Jingnian.

You must know that every mechanical monk has a reverse scale. Once touched, he will go crazy on the spot.

If Shang Jianyao’s disagreement angered Zen Master Jingnian, when the time comes, he would kill all the nobles present, then there would be no hostages!

Before Shang Jianyao spoke, Jiang Baiman said to the guard outside the door:
“The first request, close the door.”

When the door was closed, the guards outside could not determine the exact location of Shang Jianyao, so they did not dare to shoot rashly, which would suddenly reduce her defensive pressure.

She tone barely fell, Shang Jianyao looked towards Xu Liyan and the others, and expressed her doubts with nasal sounds:
“Huh–?”

Xu Liyan swallowed his saliva, loudly shouted:

“Close!
“Close the door!”

The guards obeyed the order, separated a few people, and slowly closed the door of the aristocratic chamber.

This is when Shang Jianyao is holding explosives, carrying a pistol, and step by step towards the long table.

“Sit down, sit down, and discuss something.” He warmly invited the noble congressmen who had retracted in different places.

Jiang Baiman, who walked on his side and helped him monitor Odick, the mechanical monk Jingnian, and the movement at the gate, has only one comment:
It’s up!
She even doubted whether this guy was really short-circuited.

“No, no, it’s okay, we can hear you when you speak.” Zhao Zhengqi forced a smile and responded to Shang Jianyao’s invitation.

Xu Liyan took the opportunity to say:

“Anything can be discussed.

“If you want weapons, ammunition, food, gold, oil, coal, hemp, it’s okay!”

He is still young, he has only been the City Lord for a few years, and he does not want to see the ancestors now.

Shang Jianyao slowly sat on the chair at the bottom of the long table, and said embarrassingly:

“I’m thinking about how many pieces you will be blown into after I press the switch.

“Sit, sit down, don’t let others say I’m impolite, right?”

Seeing his insistence, Muritch at the bottom of the table dared not object any more, and stepped out a little bit, got up and sat down.

With him as a role model, Zhao Zhengqi and the others went to the discussion table one after another and sat back in their positions.

Their bodyguard and entourage stood behind them, staring at Shang Jianyao’s fingers.

“You, can you ask now, right?” Xu Liyan tried his best to lower his posture.

Shang Jianyao smiled and looked around:
“After repulsing the wanderers in the wilderness, everyone donated food and medical supplies other than their own use, gathered the remaining people, helped the citizens of the city, and restored the stability of the wild grass city as soon as possible.”

This requirement… Is he the City Lord of Yecao City, or am I the City Lord of Yecao City? Xu Liyan almost doubted his ears.

This makes Zhao Zhengqi and the others believe that this is a lunatic.

It is Odick who looked thoughtfully at Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baiman, and no longer has the idea of ​​risking the use of the ability to “force to fall asleep”.

After a few seconds of silence, Xu Liyan asked:
“Does the relief target include those who are in the wilderness?”

Shang Jianyao without the slightest hesitation replied:
“Include.”

When all the nobles were a little stunned, Jiang Baiman helped to add:

“Get together and ask separately, and the one who killed someone will swap positions with the slave in your manor.

“So many people have died, whether it is the City Defense Force or the City Lord Guard, they definitely need to be added.”

Xu Liyan heard his eyes move slightly, and then asked:
“Are there any other requirements?”

“Yes.” Shang Jianyao nodded with a smile.

This answer made Zhao Zhengqi and the others relaxed.

They don’t believe that anyone can give up their lives in order to save the refugees and drag the nobles to die together. This must be an incidental request.

In the final analysis, it must be or for oneself.

“Well…find this thing first, and then talk about the rest.” Shang Jianyao smiled and looked at the fat and fat Zhao Zhengqi, “Start with you and call your confidant.”

p>

Before Zhao Zhengqi could speak, he smiled and asked a question:
“If I say to them, ‘this guy is making a ghost, I’m going to blow his head, if you choose to help him, then I’ll press the switch’, what do you think they will do?”

Faced with that smiling face, Zhao Zhengqi swallowed hard:

“You can hear what I say, I am sure I dare not play tricks.”

He never thought of burying a hole in his words. If this one is not dealt with, the contradiction will intensify immediately if he is heard out.

What he is going to use is just and honorable.

Soon, Zhao Zhengqi took out his mobile phone, called his confidant, and in accordance with what Shang Jianyao said just now, ordered one by one.

The whole process is flawless.

However, his confidant is outside, knowing that he is threatened, so he will definitely not start to do it right away, he will have to wait and see for a while.

Let the aristocratic congressmen present call in turn, and Shang Jianyao slowly stood up and said:

“The second requirement is that everyone is different, we will come one by one.”

He cautiously retreated to the inner corner away from the long table area, and said loudly to the mechanical monk:

“The Zen Master, you first.”

Jingnian boldness of execution stems from superb skill, there is nothing you can’t give up, and I just walked over without consideration.

At this time, Shang Jianyao handed the black remote control to Jiang Baiman, smiling and saying to everyone:
“She also has biological prostheses.”

Jiang Baiman cooperated to make an arc jump between his left fingers.

The iron-clad facts made Xu Liyan and the others very thankful that there was no recklessness and no risk.

After controlling the scene, Shang Jianyao looked towards Jing Nian, a mechanical monk who is almost two meters high, staring at his flashing red light eyes, pressing his voice and asking:

“Master, do you know Jing Fa master?”

In this way, the nobles in the long table area can’t hear the words and so on here.

“He is my Junior Brother.” Jing Nian answered calmly.

Shang Jianyao immediately said:

“Look at:
“I know Jing Fa master and heard him teach Dharma;

“I also helped prevent the City Lord self-destruct, so that your task can be completed;

“So…”

The flashing of the red light in the Jingnian Electronic Prosthetic Eye suddenly speeded up and quickly returned to normal.

He whispered a Buddha’s name and said in an electronically synthesized voice:

“Since I am an ally of the Order, this poor monk is willing to help you.”

“Thank you Zen Master.” Shang Jianyao stretched out his hand again and shook hands with Jing Nian, “You can go back now.”

After watching Jing Nian return to Xu Liyan’s side, he said loudly to Odick:

“Mr. Ou, you are the second one.”

…………

The guards waited for nearly twenty minutes outside the aristocratic chamber, and finally saw the door slowly open.

Shang Jianyao, Xu Liyan, Zhao Zhengqi, Francisco and the others came out on their backs, all smiling.

Zhao Zhengqi looked around, found his confidant, laughed and said:

“If the misunderstanding is resolved, just follow the instructions just now.

“My brother’s business is my business!”

The guards were dumbfounded, Jiang Baiman who followed behind took the opportunity to take out Wei Yu and their photos:
“Hurry up in the vicinity and look for these three people.”

Since it is about to frame up, the remaining members of the “old tune group” must have sneaked into the City Lord Mansion.

…………

Zhao Mansion, in a study room.

Zhao Family’s second son, Zhao Yixue, is standing by the window, holding his mobile phone, and talking with someone.

“Wait and listen carefully, the booming voice will be your salute to become the City Lord.” On the other side of the phone, a slightly hoarse voice said with a smile.

“Explosion? What about my father and my brother?” Zhao Yixue was quite surprised.

The “priest” on the other end of the phone chuckled slightly:
“Of course I went to Xitian together.

“Think about it, if they are still there, even if there is no Xu Liyan and no other nobles, you will not be the City Lord.

“I know, you can’t do it. No, I’ll do it for you, no thanks.

“Rest assured, with the support of the ‘First City’, the rest will not be able to turn the tide.”

In Zhao Yixue’s silence, his confidant walked into the study, leaned in his ear, and reported the situation.

On the other side of the phone, the “priest” smiled and asked:

“How is it? Did you hear the explosion?”

Zhao Yixue’s expression is quite strangely replied:
“There was no explosion…

“They, they are dancing in the chamber now…”

“Dancing?” “Priest” questioned.

Then, he did not speak for a long time.
