Chapter 757 Freedom

Time passes by minute by minute.

Along with the ticking sound of the clock in the corner, the rhythmic bouncing sound of the second hand spread repeatedly in the lounge, and every beat was like a wisp of spider thread being raised.

Those invisible spider threads floated in the air and fell on the two people. The threads were entangled and entangled... until finally, they seemed to have turned into an airtight cocoon.

I felt an indescribable suffocation in the silence.

Six hours later, another six hours…

The soft and comfortable sofa seems to have turned into an iron felt, and the ticking sound of every passing second is the ruthless ravage of axes and hammers. You can feel the hope gradually withered and withered in the collisions again and again.

Several times, Sheng Tianmu clenched his hands angrily and tried to get up.

But he seemed to have no strength to hold himself up, so he let go of his hand in vain, waiting patiently, waiting patiently, waiting patiently.

The sounds outside the door still sounded from time to time, but this time, they no longer made him look forward to it.

From the hurried running of the servants, to the delicate laughter of the ladies, and finally, there is no sound anymore.

When night gradually emerged, a lone lamp in the room illuminated their faces.

Like two inconspicuous specks of dust, so small that no one can remember them.

"Do we have to wait any longer?" Huai Shi asked for the fifth time, turning the cell phone in her hand, which was already approaching dangerous battery levels.

"wait."

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

"How long will it take?"

"Now that we're here, we have to meet, and we have to wait before that." Sheng Tianmu opened and closed his lips, swallowing the second half of the sentence, his eyes numb and calm.

Wait until you die.

Until the minute hand turned around again, when Huaishi was once again preparing to use the toilet to get some fresh air, she heard deep footsteps coming from behind the door.

Getting closer.

As if aware of Huai Shi behind the door, the visitor slowly raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Huai Shi paused for a moment and felt a chill.

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

It's just the other party's subconscious warning.

He took the initiative to take a step back.

The door opened from the outside.

Revealing the appearance of a slovenly middle-aged samurai.

Wearing loose sportswear, with a hairpin on his head and a forehead band, he looked like he had just returned from a long run, but he had an old long knife slung around his waist.

His face was unshaven.

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

After entering the door, he stared at Huai Shi in front of him, raising his eyebrows as if out of expectation.

"Are you just pregnant with paper?"

Huaishi nodded, "Exactly."

"I'm a samurai under the general's sect. Just call me Komagawa. I heard you defeated Kagawa... Oh, that little guy Katori, you're pretty good."

He raised his hand, patted Huai Shi's shoulder, and after a few words of praise, Su Rong looked at Sheng Tianmu, and bowed slightly: "I've been busy with official duties recently, and it's really hard for the general to get away. Many of the people below are negligent, and even Please bear with me, Mr. Tianmu."

Facing the general's most capable subordinate, Sheng Tianmu didn't dare to raise his head. He propped up his body and bowed as well: "No, no, I just waited a little longer."

Although he said this, the old man looked directly into his eyes, waiting for his next words.

Until Komagawa nodded and made way for the passage: "Please come with me. After the general has finished handling the matters at hand, you have fifteen minutes to meet."

Sheng Tianmu nodded, not surprised or excited, but smiled calmly: "Okay."

But the hands behind his back were clenched with excitement.

It's hard to control the crazy heartbeat at this moment.

After sitting there for a long time, he finally got the result.

"Let's go, Huai Zhi."

He smiled at Huai Shi and walked out the door. Huai Shi could feel his slightly frivolous and hasty steps, and he seemed to be gradually becoming more relaxed.

It was as if a huge burden had been lifted.

Not afraid of this long period of sitting idle and neglecting, Sheng Tianmu was only afraid that he would return without success today... But before Komachuan arrived, no one knew what the result would be.

It would be great if you just wait.

Even if you are ignored or forgotten, it doesn't matter. It doesn't mean that you don't have to talk about it. On the contrary, this is just a show of force!

The general wanted more, more than he could give.

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

Just talk about it!

Huai Shi was behind, watching as Sheng Tianmu's back was gradually bent by the invisible force, and he humbly moved forward.

.

From a long distance away, one can detect the undisguised fluctuations of the essence, like a mighty torrent sweeping across, covering the entire huge manor, unruly and ferocious.

Walking along the corridor, passing through the silent courtyard, we came to the seaside. There was a bonfire on the beach in the distance and the lights were bright.

Girls in three-point suits were running and playing on the beach with water guns, showing off their proud figures and beautiful faces. They interacted respectfully with the waiters on both sides, and no one dared to look up.

Far away, I heard the sound of laughter coming from under the parasol.

The blond middle-aged man sat on a chair with his back to them. He threw the cards in his hand on the table and cursed unhappily: "What the hell, you got lucky and won my money again. Sooner or later, you bunch of bastards will be hanged." Egg!"

The subordinates who accompanied the card game were already accustomed to the strangeness and put away the chips on the table. After thanking the General for the reward, they noticed Komachuan's return and politely stood up to leave.

The game is over for now.

The general stood up and scratched his butt through his shorts. He finally looked back and saw Sheng Tianmu walking in. He thought for a moment and suddenly said: "I remember you, old man Sheng Tianmu, right! We have beaten each other before. A few times...I almost forgot when you came, why didn't you remind me?"

"It's just a matter of waiting a little longer. How dare you disturb your master's pleasure?" Sheng Tianmu responded respectfully and stepped forward.

"Sit down, sit down, you're welcome. I heard that you have been in trouble lately and are very anxious." The general glanced at him, shook his head, and looked at Huai Shi with a curious look on his face: "Who is this?"

Staring at those golden eyes from a distance, Huai Shi almost felt that the disguise all over her body was gone and she couldn't breathe.

Facing this one of the most powerful men in the world, the number one person in the fifth level among natural enemies, he took a step back respectfully and bowed in Yingzhou etiquette: "Belonging to the alliance, I am a member of the Emblem of War."

"Young people are quite polite."

The general held the beer glass and laughed loudly. He pointed at him and told Komachuan beside him: "I'm having a conversation with his adults. You can ask someone to take the children to find something to eat. Don't be restrained. It's rare to come here." Once, at least the beer and barbecue are enough."

"Yes." Komachuan nodded, and his servant took Huai Shi to a table on the beach and sat down. Soon, the flowing wine and barbecue were served, which was extremely rich.

Huaishi didn't feel embarrassed at all, she just enjoyed the performances of those beautiful sisters and ate without any scruples.

Just the glimmer of hope in my heart gradually sank.

From a long distance, he could see the two people talking next to the card table.

"Tell me about it and get the Third Eye."

The general picked up the wine glass, took a long sip, and said calmly: "You have spent so much energy and time on meeting me. You can't just want to attend tonight's banquet, right?"

Sheng Tianmu lowered his head and implored from the bottom of his heart: "I am here on behalf of the inner circle of Danbo to ask for your blessing."

No time was wasted in this meeting, no pretensions were made, and no reservations were made. Shen Tianmu lowered his head and presented the current difficulties that the alliance was facing, all the offerings that the inner circle of Tamba could offer to the shogun, the next plans and the contributions that could be made to the shogun in the future, without any concealment.

The general, on the other hand, listened politely.

From time to time, he nodded in agreement with the bright future he proposed, and felt indignant at the discrimination and oppression that the hybrids encountered.

But his eyes were staring at the girls playing and playing on the beach from a distance, admiring the exquisite and beautiful scenery in front of them, drinking wine, eating meat, and smoking cigars.

From the beginning to the end, he never looked at the celestial eye.

It was just like listening. In fact, I didn't recognize any of the words, and I didn't think about any of the offerings and requests he brought.

But the Third Eye didn't dare to stop.

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

Even if it's just for a moment.

But Huai Shi felt that his efforts would be useless.

Perhaps, the hope of attaining the Third Eye should have been disappointed long ago.

Such a long wait may not be the general's show of force, but maybe he simply... forgot that such a thing happened.

Simply busy with other things.

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

He is not interested in your price, and your suffering has nothing to do with Him.

If you work hard to come here today and want to meet him, then he will meet you and entertain you like any guest, listen to your troubles and entreaties, and then give you comfort and encouragement.

But don’t get me wrong, it’s just polite…

The Eagle God soared in the sky and lived in the temple in the clouds. Even though he was relegated and deposed, he was still living in this remote island country and was exiled in the narrow territory of Yingzhou.

The suffering on earth was too trivial and he was not interested.

"How do you feel, guest?"

Beside him, there was a strange and childish voice.

It was a little kid sitting down with a plate.

He has black hair, black eyes, and fair complexion. He seems to be from Rome, but he also seems to have other racial characteristics that are difficult to distinguish.

The child, who was about ten years old, sat next to Huai Shi with a large plate of barbecue and beer. As if he was very familiar with him, he asked kindly: "Is the general's hospitality thorough?"

"That's natural. I'm flattered and grateful."

Huaishi didn't have time to think about the identity of the visitor. Since he came here with Sheng Tianmu, he was a member of the alliance. Naturally, he couldn't be arrogant and create enemies for the alliance.

Even if nothing can be negotiated in the end, it is important not to arouse disgust.

The black-haired child, who was as big as a kid, laughed and ate the barbecue in front of him with his mouth full of sauce. He looked cute and pink. He didn't know whose child he was.

"It sounds very polite." He suddenly asked: "How do you feel about this place?"

"It's magnificent and magnificent, just like a fairyland on earth." Huai Shi sincerely admired it.

"Well, it's true. Regardless of food and clothing, they are the best in the world - the best snowflake beef, the best beer, the best sauce and the best oil, the best chef in the world, and The best models and celebrities, the most loyal subordinates, endless money to lose, and endless luxury and beauty to enjoy.”

The little boy nodded in agreement, "Even the height of the children's dining chair is just right. It's effortless to sit up. Hey, it's really enviable. You should also take the time to eat more."

Not only what the child said, only Huai Shi knew: There are six generals with such gorgeous mansions in Yingzhou, in Kyoto, Edo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki...

The most beautiful places in this country, the most dangerous and amazing scenery, are all the private property of the General.

The strongest warrior, the best beauty, the most beautiful scenery, all the glory in the world are his natural possessions.

Even if you just think about it, you can tell how extravagant and indulgent his daily life is, and how happy it is to be unimaginable.

If it were in the past, Huai Shi would have been so envious that he would be deformed and drool all over the floor.

But now, he was not envious at all.

Because that person who has everything seems unhappy at all...

Once the strongest fifth level in the world, the overlord who was only one step away from the master of the lineage lost everything in a huge gamble. Not only was he expelled from America and exiled to this remote island country, he was also forcibly raped by the former King of the White House. Being tied to a position like a general, from now on, the destiny of the country will only be associated with these yellow-skinned monkeys that I once completely ignored...

He should be the freest person in the world, but he is not free at all.

Who can understand this anger?

No matter how beautiful the scenery and no matter how luxurious the enjoyment, for him, they are just singing and dancing in a cage, a program to relieve boredom in his long retirement life.

Now, a group of insects came to him, describing the oppression of another group of insects on him...

How could he care?

During the conversation, Huai Shi sighed silently, finished the last barbecue on the plate, stopped the waiter from serving, wiped his mouth, stood up and said goodbye to the child beside him.

The meeting is over.

It's time for him to go.

"I will come here more often in the future." The child said goodbye without raising his head: "I quite like you. Let's play together next time."

"Have chance……"

Huai Shi smiled politely and greeted the approaching Sheng Tianmu.

Sheng Tianmu still had a smile on his face, and there was no sign of anger or loss. He just declined other hospitality and turned around to leave with Huai Shi.

Behind them, excited shouts came from the beach.

"Okay, the game begins!"

The blindfolded blond man raised two water guns and rushed to the beach excitedly: "Here comes the eagle, where are my little darlings?!"

The girls were embarrassed to avoid the water cannon shots, covering their sensitive parts that were hit, and exclaimed gracefully, it was sexy and hot.

How happy it looked.

But outside this beautiful paradise, dark clouds were gradually gathering in the clear night sky in the distance, covering the city lights.

It is going to rain.
