Throne Steps

No matter how the enemies of the leader of the Lone Wolf gather to "slay the enemy with his hands", the journey of "Looking for the Dragon" on the other side is still hidden in the troupe.

The members of the mobile troupe discovered a little subtle clue.

The reason was that during the last tour, Saenz and Li Chen stood in the front row watching the performance of the dancer on the drum, and then somehow, the flower in the hand of the dancer Aurora flew to Saenz's head.Saenz stretched out his hand, and took it with a calm look, and slipped it behind Li Chen's ear next to him.Li Chen glanced at him, raised his hand to take it off, and stuffed it into the hand of the little girl watching the performance next to him.

Saenz didn't turn his head to see how he dealt with it, but he could spot Li Chen's movements from the corner of his eye.The man smiled slightly and continued to watch the dancer's performance without saying anything.

However, the code word for drumming up dancers is almost known in Rhettia.Although Saenz and Li Chen looked as if nothing had happened, and everyone looked away from them, everyone who witnessed this scene knew that the dancer probably sent an invitation just now.

They guessed right, but didn't see the next "evidence".

After the show, the crowd dispersed and Aurora was to come down from the drums.Usually, she would either jump down by herself, or the instrumentalist and group leader next to her would give her a hand, but this time, her gaze was clearly looking at Saenz next to her.

Seeing this, the head of the group deliberately walked away to do other things, and gave up his seat, which happened to be facing Saenz.

Li Chen also walked away and went to pack things with the team leader.

Saenz sighed softly in his heart, but on the surface he still maintained a calm look, and naturally stretched out... the back of his hand towards Aurora on the drum.

Gentleman-like warmth and gentleman-like courtesy, but that's not what Aurora wants.

Because if the dancer and someone really see the right eye, sometimes they can even jump directly on the other party and let the other party directly hug themselves.However, this man who was favored by the dancer was not even willing to hold hands with Aurora, let alone reaching out to hug him down.He stretched out the back of his hand, obviously just to support the dancer.

So Aurora took his hand and came down, gave him a slightly coquettish look, turned and left.

Singer Jasmine, who was watching secretly not far away, couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing when she saw this scene.When Aurora passed by her, because Jasmine's expression seemed too wild, she couldn't help pinching the little girl's waist.

"Aww!" Jasmine jumped a bit, then leaned on Aurora's body and laughed, "Maybe he doesn't like yours?"

"Otherwise?" Aurora untied the veil, "Would you like to challenge?"

"Wow, I don't want it." Jasmine replied with a smile, "He looks very gentle, but in fact he must be very heartless. If he fails, he will be as sad as you are! It's still Ruisen who is fun and unhappy all day long but it looks like it would be fun if you tease it!"

Aurora thought that you probably misunderstood both of them, but she just said: "I haven't failed yet, don't define me so quickly."

"Hmm." Jasmine said happily, "Then I'll wait and see how you perform!"

There is an important reason for moving the troupe to this town to perform, that is, they want to pick up their fellow villager-now a troubadour.

"This is our guard, and it's also a traveling companion, but it's not from Cambua." The head of the group, Torres, introduced the two men to him. "This is Sal, and this is Ruisen."

The troubadour raised his glass to them as a greeting, and then he looked at the head of the group: "Ah, if you didn't write to me, I wouldn't know that our village was flooded!"

The mobile troupe was obviously the end of the day, but when they met the troubadour in the hotel, the other party was already half drunk.

Holding his wine glass, he dangled and talked to his fellow villager: "I already have..." He paused to think for a long time, and decided not to care about the details, "I haven't been back for many years. To be honest, I thought I already had everything. I don't care anymore, but after receiving your letter, I immediately, really immediately, decided to go back and have a look... This is the power of my hometown, my hometown!"

"Why aren't we?" The head of the group sat down, ordered wine, and said, "However, the letter we received took two twists and turns before it arrived in our hands. Until now... I'm afraid even if we go back, the village will be gone sooner or later." It is in ruins. And we have been traveling all the time, if everyone has moved, we will not be able to receive letters to us."

"...I don't care about that." The troubadour took a big sip, smacked his lips, and continued, "Anyway, I don't have any relatives in the village, so I just go back and have a look. To put it bluntly, I just look for Find memories."

"Yeah, looking for memories." The group leader echoed, "Or let's take a last look at my hometown. I used to not feel it when I was walking outside, but when I heard that the village was going to disappear, my heart suddenly felt empty. "

"This is nostalgia, nostalgia!" The troubadour laughed a few times, staring straight ahead, not knowing where the focus of his eyes fell, "I still remember, my yard, my dog. I crawled I went up to the wall to steal the fruit from the neighbor’s house, but it didn’t come down, so I stayed on the wall for a long time. Until dinner, my grandfather came out to look for me..."

He seems to be recalling, narrating, and reciting a poem: "I remember, the scenery at that time was so beautiful, the sunset was shining on Cambua, the smoke was curling up, and the air was filled with the smell of fireworks and food..."

Sitting next to her, Jasmine sang the song "The Cambuan Girl" softly.

"My dear Cambua,

Only blurred images remain in memory.

Cambuan sky,

Is it worth my return home..."

……

"I'll go for a walk." Li Chen stood up suddenly.

Saenz looked at his expression and felt that he seemed a little dull.Although Li Chen has been sulking lately, it seems that the nostalgic music of this mobile troupe has touched him a bit, so he wanted to get out of this atmosphere for a while.

Saenz still doesn't know that on the first night he met this mobile troupe, Li Chen was actually moved by the lyrics sung by Jasmine, not because he saw the dancer Aurora.Saenz brought this group of returnees to Li Chen's side, but he really didn't know whether he was doing the right thing or wrong.

Li Chen's "hometown" is not a nostalgia, but an obsession.

Saenz also stood up: "Then I'll go for a walk too."

Not long after, Jasmine suddenly thought of going to buy some snacks to eat on the way, and told everyone about it.

Because the sky hadn't completely darkened yet, and Jasmine wasn't far away, so she went as soon as she went, and the group leader waved her hand to let them go.

Jasmine had already thought about what she wanted to buy, so she made the purchases very quickly.When she was walking back with a pack of snacks in her arms, a middle-aged man suddenly walked out of the alley ahead.The man was unshaven, his walk was a little flamboyant, and his face was a little red.As soon as he met Jasmine, he suddenly walked towards this side.

"Isn't this, isn't this the chick who sang just now?" The man smelled of alcohol, and he seemed to be another guy who was drunk in broad daylight, "Why... are you here alone? Where are the others? What about, uh, the white dancer?"

Jasmine took a step back in disgust.She is not a little girl who knows nothing about the world. The more she talks to her, the worse she is. It is better to slip away as soon as possible.

However, when she took a step sideways and wanted to miss it, the man actually reached out and blocked her way.

Jasmine's whole body suddenly became tense, and she took another step back, but her eyes burst out with a sharp look: "What do you want to do!"

The man seemed taken aback by the girl's sudden outburst, but his next reaction was not to shrink back, but to start to be irritated, like a hill heading towards Jasmine: "I didn't do anything to you, you are so ..."

"I'm sorry." A staff suddenly stretched out from the direction behind Jasmine, brushing Jasmine's side, and the end firmly resisted the man's forward steps. Another slightly lowered male voice sounded from behind Jasmine, "Excuse me." You stand back, sir."

When Jasmine turned her head, Saenz was standing behind her.He walked around Jasmine, and pushed the middle-aged man back a few steps along the way: "Don't touch our members, okay?"

Saenz's voice was steady, but the man seemed to be able to read some kind of warning in his eyes.Normally, the man might have muttered and cursed a few more words before walking away, but now that he was drunk, he actually tried to stagger his staff and move forward again.Saenz's eyes sharpened, he turned his wrist flexibly a few times, and the staff hit the man's outstretched wrist and hit his chest!

Bang!

The man was thrown three steps away by the staff!

Saenz turned his staff straight and stuck the end on the ground: "Do you want to learn more lessons?"

The man held his numb right wrist with his left hand, got up cursing, and walked away quickly.

"Okay, let's go back." Saenz looked back at Jasmine who was standing there, "Don't go out alone at night in the future. The security at the border is up and down, and you may not always have good luck."

"You were so heroic and handsome just now, Thrall!" Jasmine's face flushed a little with excitement, "You hit him twice with your staff, it was so clean and beautiful! And the voice you warned him just now was very different from usual ..."

Saenz interrupted her helplessly: "Are you going back to the hotel, Jasmine?"

"Let's go!" Jasmine quickly followed his footsteps, "Although I'm just looking at your back, but..."

On the other end, the middle-aged man who was shaking his wrist felt as if the whole street was watching his excitement, and walked forward quickly.Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the wall of the alley he was passing by, grabbed him, and slammed him into the alley!

The moment the man was pushed against the wall, a gleaming dagger hit his neck.

The coldness of the dagger passed through the skin, and seemed to spread throughout the man's limbs, and the man suddenly sobered up.

"Who sent you, huh? What do you want to do?" Li Chen half-closed his eyes, staring at the man like a poisonous snake staring at its prey, "What is your purpose of approaching my friend?"

"No, no!" The man's voice was trembling, "I'm just drunk, I didn't want to do anything...Really! I didn't do anything!"

He clearly felt that the dagger poked in a little more.He didn't even dare to speak normally, so he could only beg with some tears: "I really didn't do anything..."

"Is that so—" Li Chen dragged out his tone, and suddenly smiled strangely, "That's just bad luck for you."

He took a step back, just when the man thought he had finally escaped, Li Chen suddenly threw him aside!

A black swan who appeared next to him at an unknown time caught him, or rather, held him, making him unable to move.

"Take a good trial." Li Chen put the dagger back into its sheath, "Don't let anything slip through the net during this special period."

The black swan responded.

"Oh, that's right." Li Chen, who was about to walk out of the alley, suddenly turned around, looked at the man with a frightened face, and sneered.

"After the trial, you can solve it anyway, don't ask me again."

[The author has something to say]: The two people's different [not] ways of playing handsome, I personally prefer Li Chen, what do you think...
