Chapter 16 Prelude

While Dong Ruo and Zhong Xi were discussing the game, Liu Bing did not go home directly after the repair shop closed, but came to Dong Ming's house.

"Is Brother Dong in the study?" Liu Bing pulled a subordinate and asked, and got a positive answer. He walked directly to the study and knocked on the door. Before there was a response, Liu Bing pushed open the door and went in.

Dong Ming and Cheng Xi were discussing things inside. The knock on the door suddenly interrupted his thoughts. He frowned unhappily. As a result, before he could react, the door had been pushed open. Now Dong Ming not only frowned, but also could clearly see the anger in Dong Ming's eyes, but when he saw Liu Bing coming in, Dong Ming's eyes The anger disappeared again, and he laughed and cursed, "Who do you think it is?" It turns out that you are the madman Liu.

"Hey, didn't bother you, brother!" Liu Bing smiled and rubbed his hands and walked to Dong Ming.

"Excuse me, can you go out?" Dong Ming smiled and stretched out his hand and nodded at Liu Bing. "You are a guy who goes to the Three Treasures Hall. Tell me, what's the matter?"

"It's still the big brother who knows me." Liu Bing smiled shamelessly, "I really have something to ask big brother."

"Say it quickly, don't say that I really kicked you out!" Dong Ming made a move to chase people.

"Well, I want to take my apprentice Duan Peng off the list of this competition."

Hearing Liu Bing's words, the smile on Dong Ming's face suddenly disappeared. He frowned and asked, "Xiao Liu, I think you want to give me a reason why you made such a request. You also know that since the establishment of our village, there has never been any absence. Even when Xiao Ruo turned 16 years old, I did not make an exception for her. And I think you also understand what this game means to these young people.

"Brother Dong, I know what you mean, but you still don't know how important Duan Peng is to our village, and you can't make any mistakes." Liu Bing also restrained the smile on his face.

Before Dong Ming could speak, Cheng Xi interrupted, "Crazy Liu, you mean that this young man named Duan Peng is more important than us? We don't know when your apprentice became so important?

Dong Ming frowned and glanced at Cheng Xi, "Lao Cheng, what are you talking about?"

"I'm sorry, General, I can't help mentioning Xiaoruo." Cheng Xi quickly lowered his head to explain. After saying that, he lowered his head and stood aside, but when he dodged Dong Ming's sight, the corners of his mouth gently pulled.

"Xiao Liu, your request really makes me very embarrassed!" Dong Ming did not delve into what Cheng Xi said, but turned back to Liu Bing.

"Brother Dong, I really don't mean to compare Xiaopeng and Xiaoruo." Liu Bing looked a little more anxious, "You know, my children couldn't bring them out in that war. Xiao Ruo looks the same as my own daughter, but the reason why I don't want Duan Peng to participate in the competition has nothing to do with whether Duan Peng is my apprentice."

Dong Ming still believes in Liu Bing very much. It is impossible to alienate Liu Bing because of Cheng Xi's words. Besides, Liu Bing is the master of the mecha division in the village, and he is the only one. Based on this, he can't alienate Liu Bing. All right! Then tell me the reason why Duan Peng can't play. After thinking about it, Dong Ming still said.

After hesitating for a while, Liu Bing said, "Xiaopeng may have reached the fourth level of the Mecha Division, maybe more than that."

"What?" Hearing Liu Bing's words, Dong Ming stood up from his seat in shock, "Are you sure?"

There was also a trace of panic on Cheng Xi's face standing next to him, but he soon suppressed this trace of panic.

"I'm sure." Liu Bing nodded firmly, "I have used the previous CET-4 assessment method to assess Xiaopeng. He not only completed it, but also completed it quite perfectly. So I firmly disagree with Xiaopeng's participation in this assessment, because we can't let him take a little risk.

Dong Ming hesitated. Although he did not know how the mecha division assessment was carried out, he believed that Liu Bing would never come up with such a reason to deceive him in order to help his apprentice escape the competition, and the 16-year-old fourth-level mecha division was indeed worth protecting.

"Lao Cheng, what do you think?" Dong Ming suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Cheng Xi thought for a moment before saying, "A 16-year-old mecha master is indeed worthy of our protection, but I still think this precedent cannot be opened, because once this precedent is opened, the rest of the village will escape for one reason or another in the future. After all, this competition is risky, and the village every year Many young people will be sacrificed because of this event. Of course, everything is up to you, general.

Dong Ming nodded. What Cheng Xi said was also very reasonable, and others also had this consideration.

"Xiao Liu, why don't you see this? When we arrange a team, we will match him with a more experienced candidate, and then tell this person, how about that?"

"Brother Dong...!" Liu Bing is still a little unwilling.

"Don't say more, this is the biggest concession I can make." Dong Ming waved his hand and said.

Although he was unwilling, Liu Bing also knew that as long as Dong Ming made a decision, it was usually the final decision, and in the end, he could only retreat silently.

After Liu Bing withdrew, Dong Ming was still thinking, not to mention a 16-year-old fourth-level mecha division, even if there is no age prefix, a fourth-level mecha division is a major event worth paying attention to for the village. After thinking for a while, he asked Cheng Xi next to him, "Lao Cheng, who do you think is the most outstanding among the relatives in this competition?"

Of course, Cheng Xi knew what Dong Ming meant by asking. After thinking about it, he said, "Xiaoruo should be good, and the relationship between Xiaoruo and Duan Peng is also good. There should be no problem for the two of them to cooperate."

Dong Ming shook his head and said, "If Xiao Ruo can't, this child's talent is good, but the training is too serious and too playful. I'm still worried about handing a genius like Duan Peng into her. What do you think of Li Tong?"

"Li Tong is also good." A smile flashed at the corners of Cheng Xi's mouth. He knew that Dong Ming's character would never let others influence his opinions, so he deliberately put forward Dong Ruo's, "Li Tong's talent is good and his training is also very hard. Last year, he was favored by the captain of the Jiashi team and entered the Jiashi team, and Li Tong is 20 years old this year. Compared with him, he should also Be steady."

Dong Ming nodded and said, "Okay, that's him!" You can talk to him tomorrow and tell him the importance of Duan Peng to our village. You must ensure that Duan Peng is foolproof in this competition. It doesn't matter if he can't get the ranking. I will compensate him afterwards.

"Yes, General!" Cheng Xi answered, but soon Cheng Xi showed another hesitant expression.

"What's the matter, Lao Cheng, is there anything else wrong?" Dong Ming saw Cheng Xi's expression and asked.

"I don't know if I should say something." Cheng Xi was more hesitant.

"Is there anything else you can't say in front of me?" Dong Ming was a little angry. Cheng Xi was good at everything, but sometimes he was too cautious. Say it."

"Yes, General! Their family not only Duan Peng wants to participate in this competition, but also Zhong Li seems to be on the list. Cheng Xi's speed was very slow, as if she was thinking about the meaning of the words.

"Well, so what?"

"General, that's what I think. If Peng and Zhong Li both go out, we won't have the tools to control Zhong Xi. In case they want to leave, none of us can stop Zhong Xi." Cheng Xi said carefully.

Dong Ming frowned. He was a little dissatisfied with what Cheng Xi said to the Zhong Xi brothers, "Why do they want to leave? Didn't they all donate their mecha to show their loyalty? And our village did not treat them badly and gave them the best treatment.

"I'm sorry, General, I shouldn't have speculed, but I really heard some bad news." Cheng Xi pretended to be mysterious and said, "I heard that Zhong Xi handed over the mecha just to exchange for our trust, and his main purpose was to let Duan Peng learn orthodox mecha knowledge from our mecha factory. And now Duan Peng has reached the fourth level of Mecha Division, so..."

"Who did you hear this from?" Dong Ming frowned and asked.

"It's all about some words from the Mecha Factory and Zhongli Training Factory. They are not too accurate. I'm sorry, General, I shouldn't have told you these." Cheng Xi hurriedly apologized to the general.

Dong Ming was not only not relaxed because of Cheng Xi's explanation, but also frowned more tightly. Dong Ming left his seat and paced back and forth in front of the table.

Cheng Xi quietly bent up, and soon regained a frightened expression. He knew that his plan was successful, and he didn't need to say more, as long as he could successfully arouse Dong Ming's suspicion.

Sure enough, Dong Ming stopped and said, "Although what you said may not be true, we still have to be just in case. Leaving aside Zhong Xi, Duan Peng's role in our village cannot be tolerated by us to give up, and the most important thing is that he was cultivated by our village. After thinking about it, Dong Ming said, "You draw that Zhong Li from the list of the game first!"

"Yes, General!" Cheng Xi replied solemnly.

After thinking about it, Dong Ming said, "After the game, you also need to find out more about what their three brothers need and try their best to satisfy them. It is worth spending some energy to win over, and their three brothers' villages have been destroyed. Where can they go, as long as We can give them more, and I believe they won't want to leave either.

"Yes, General! I will pay attention to it." Although Cheng Xi promised resolutely, he muttered very unhappyly, "What do they want is your daughter? What will my son do if they are given to them?"
