Time passes by minute by second.

As the clock ticked in the corner of the wall, the rhythmic second hand bounced repeatedly spread in the lounge, and every time it jumped, it seemed like a spider silk was raised.

Those invisible spider silks floated in the air and fell on the two of them, coiled in strands and entangled layer by layer... until finally, they seemed to have turned into airtight cocoons.

I felt an indescribable suffocation from the silence.

Six hours later, another six hours...

The soft and comfortable sofa seems to have become iron felt, and the ticking sound of every second passing is the ruthless axe and hammer that is ravaged. You can feel the look of hope gradually shriveling and sluggish in repeated collisions.

Several times, Sheng Tianmu held his hands angrily and wanted to get up.

But it seemed that I didn't have the strength to support myself, so I let go of my hand in vain, wait patiently, wait patiently, wait patiently.

The sound outside the door still rang from time to time, but this time, he didn't expect so much.

From the servants running in a hurry to the ladies’ tender laughter, to the end, there was no sound.

When the night gradually emerged, a lonely lamp in the room illuminated the faces of the two.

It seemed like two inconspicuous particles of dust, so small that no one remembered it.

"Do you have to wait any longer?" Huai Shi turned her cell phone that had already approached the dangerous power and asked for the fifth time.

"wait."

Sheng Tianmu said numbly: "Wait a little longer."

"When will you wait?"

"Since we have come, we have to meet each other, and we have to wait before that." Sheng Tian's lips opened and closed, and he swallowed the second half of his sentence, his eyes numb and calm.

Wait until death.

Until the minute hand turned around again, when Huai Shi was preparing to go out to the bathroom to get some breath again, she heard a deep footsteps coming from behind the door.

Gradually approaching.

It was as if he noticed Huai Shi behind the door, the visitor slowly raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Huai Shi's movements paused for a moment and felt a rushing chill.

Through the thick wooden door, you could feel the faint squeal of the sharp blade in the sheath, and the chill fell on his neck and quickly dissipated.

It was just the other party's subconscious warning.

He took the initiative to take a step back.

The door opened from outside.

Showing the appearance of a unkempt middle-aged warrior.

Wearing a loose sportswear, a hairpin tied around her head and a forehead strap, she seemed to have just returned from a long run, but she was carrying a long knife that was a bit old.

Unshaven on his face.

Only a pair of eyes were as big as an old monkey in the mountains, shining with a faint light.

After entering the door, he stared at Huai Shi in front of him, and his eyebrows were raised as if unexpected.

"You're just paper?"

Huai Shi nodded, "That's it."

"I am a samurai under the general's disciple. Just call me Konokawa. I heard that you defeated Kagawa... Oh, just Kasuke that little guy, you are very good."

He raised his hand, patted Huai Shi on the shoulder, and after complimenting for a few words, Surong looked at Sheng Tianmu and took a closer look: "I have been busy with official duties recently, so I really can't get out of here. Many people below are negligent. Please forgive me."

Facing the general's most capable subordinate, Sheng Tianmu did not dare to take it big, so he supported his body and bowed: "Where is there, I just waited for a while."

Even though he said so, the old man looked straight in his eyes, waiting for his next words.

Until Kojikawa nodded and made way out: "Please come with me. After the general handles the matter, you have fifteen minutes to meet."

Sheng Tian nodded, without any surprise or excitement, but smiled calmly: "Okay."

But the hand behind me was excited and tightened.

It is difficult to control the crazy heartbeat at this moment.

The long and irritating sitting finally made him wait for the result.

"Let's go, bear paper."

He smiled at Huai Shi and walked out the door. Huai Shi could feel his slightly empty and rapid steps, and it seemed that he gradually became relaxed.

It seems like he has taken off a heavy burden.

Not afraid of this long sitting and neglect, Sheng Tianmu was only afraid of returning without success today... But before Kojikawa arrived, no one knew what the result would be.

It would be great if you just wait.

Even if you are neglected or forgotten, it doesn’t matter if you are neglected. On the contrary, it’s just a warning!

The general wanted more than he could give.

But it doesn't matter, he can give more...

As long as there is something to talk about!

Huai Shi was behind, watching Shengtianmu gradually bent her back by invisible force and move forward humbly.

.

A long distance away, you can detect the unconcealed source-quality fluctuations, like a vast torrent sweeping over, covering the entire huge manor, unyielding and hideous.

Following the corridor, passing through the quiet courtyard, you will arrive at the beach. There are bonfires on the beach in the distance and the lights are brightly lit.

The girls in three-point styles ran and played on the beach with water guns, showing off their proud figures and beautiful faces, and were in a respectful manner with the waiters on both sides, and no one dared to look up.

From a distance, I heard a loud laughing sound from under the parasol.

The blonde middle-aged man sat on the chair with his back facing them, shook his hands and threw the cards in his hand on the table, and cursed unhappily: "What the hell is luck? I won my money again. I'll hang you bastards sooner or later!"

The subordinates who accompanied the cards were already used to it. They put away the chips on the table and thanked the general for their rewards. When they noticed that Kojikawa had returned, they politely stood up to say goodbye.

The game is temporarily over.

The general stood up, scratched his butt through his big shorts, and finally looked back and looked at Sheng Tianmu who was walking in. After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized: "I remember you are the old man Sheng Tianmu, right! We have played cards a few times before... When did you come, I almost forgot, why don't you urge me?"

"I just wait a little longer, how dare I disturb my good mood?" Sheng Tianmu responded respectfully and owed his body to the front.

"Sit down, sit down, you don't have to be polite. I heard that you are in trouble recently and are in a state of turmoil." The general looked at him, shook his head, looked at Huai Shi with a curious expression: "Who is this?"

Through a distance, staring at the golden eyes, Huai Shi almost felt the disguise in her body and could not breathe.

Facing this powerful man with a few current realms and the first person in the fifth level under his natural enemy, he took a respectful step back and bowed with Yingzhou's etiquette: "The alliance belongs to the paper amateur."

"Young people are quite polite."

The general held the beer glass and laughed loudly, pointed at him, and ordered Konokawa beside him: "I'll talk to his adults. If you ask the children to find something to eat, there is no need to be restricted. It's rare to have a single time, at least you can barbecue and barbecue."

"Yes." Kojikawa nodded, and a servant took Huaishi to the table on the beach and sat down. Soon, the wine and barbecue like flowing water were served, which was extremely rich.

Huai Shi was not embarrassed, so she admired the performances of those beautiful big sisters and started to eat without any scruples.

But the original hope in my heart gradually sank.

From a long distance, he could see the two people talking beside the poker table.

"Tell me, let's see, I'll give birth to the heavenly eyes."

The general picked up the wine glass, took a big sip, and said calmly: "You have spent so much energy and time to meet me, so you can't want to attend to the banquet tonight, right?"

Sheng Tian lowered his head and asked from the bottom of his heart: "I am here to represent the inner circle of Danbo, I would like to ask for your blessing."

No time wasted during this meeting, no hindrance, and no reservation. Sheng Tianmu lowered his head and presented all the predicaments that the alliance had encountered and all the offerings that the Danbo inner circle could offer to the general. The next plan and the contributions that he could make to the general in the future without any concealment.

And the general listened politely.

From time to time, he nodded in agreement with the bright future he proposed, and was indignant of the discrimination and oppression he encountered.

But his eyes stared at the girls playing and playing on the beach from afar, enjoying the exquisite and beautiful scenery in front of him, drinking, eating meat, and smoking cigars.

From beginning to end, I have never seen Shengtianmu at all.

It was just like listening, but in fact, I had never identified any of the words, and I had not thought about any offerings and requests he brought.

But Sheng Tianmu didn't dare to stop.

Seize this short time and try every means to attract the general's attention, to change his mind, and to make him think about everything he has brought.

Even if it's only a moment.

But Huai Shi felt that his efforts would not be useful.

Perhaps, the expectation of birth should have failed long ago.

Such a long wait may not be the general's warning, or perhaps it was just that he simply... forgot that this happened.

Just busy with other things.

Busy drinking, having fun, playing cards with subordinates, busy visiting prostitutes, and busy doing some happy things...
To be continued...
