Chapter 278 Reunion and Rainstorm
After a brief rest, Weiwei bid farewell to Doto, and took a Bidiao with her companions to the current base camp of the rebels—Katleia.
After several hours, they arrived at their destination.
"Stop, who is it?!" In front of the gate of the rebel camp, seeing someone approaching, the guard raised his gun nervously.
Standing at the front, Weiwei directly tore off the disguise on her body, revealing her true colors, and shouted: "I am Neferutari Vivi! I want to see Koza!"
"It's Princess Weiwei, Her Royal Highness is outside!" There was a sudden commotion in the camp.
After a while, a young man with a slicked back hair and a scar on his left eye walked out of the camp surrounded by a group of people. He was the leader of the rebel army, Kosha, and also Weiwei’s childhood playmate. The two had been together for many years. I haven't seen each other.
Kou Sha stared at Weiwei seriously, and said, "Princess Weiwei, what do you want from me?"
"Can we talk alone?" Vivi replied.
Kosha was silent for a while, then said, "Yes."
After the two entered a room, Weiwei said bluntly: "Kosha, the dancing fan was planted by Crocodile to my father. Everything is his conspiracy. He wants to seize this country."
"Is there any evidence?" Kosa said with narrowed eyes.
"The evidence will be handed over to me soon. Before that, I want to ask you not to act rashly and act irrationally."
"How long do you mean by 'soon'?"
"Just within two days, if you don't believe me, I can stay here as a hostage."
"Okay, we can wait for you for two days. However, if you have other bad ideas, don't blame me for being rude." Kosha said coldly.
"Kousa, I met Uncle Doto in Yuba. He has always believed in my father, but why do you always have so much hostility towards us?"
"Why? Hehe, because my hometown has turned into a desert, and because we are all about to starve to death!" Kosha said angrily, "Do you believe it can be eaten? Even if all this is a conspiracy by Crocodile, Your incompetent father is also half responsible!"
After speaking, he turned and left the room.
"I'm sorry, we didn't do well enough." Weiwei bit her lip and said softly, "Aomori, you must succeed."
"Fortunately, it's a success." Aomori's gentle voice suddenly sounded in her ears, which startled her and screamed involuntarily.
When she saw clearly that it was Aomori, Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief, rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't keep appearing behind others all of a sudden, okay. Wait, what did you just say?"
Aomori did not answer immediately, but looked towards the door.
The next second, many people kicked open the gate and rushed in.
The leader Kosha pointed his gun at Aomori and shouted, "Don't move!"
"Kosha, you misunderstood, he is my friend." Weiwei took two steps forward, stood in front of the gun, and said, "Put the gun down quickly."
"Princess Weiwei, if you are being held hostage, just blink."
"No! I'm telling the truth."
In spite of everything, Weiwei managed to convince Kosha that Aomori was not an enemy, so she put down her gun.
"His name is Aomori, my helper." Weiwei introduced the two sides: "This is Kosha, the leader of the rebel army."
"This little boy is the one you are waiting for, so have you got the so-called evidence?" Kosha glanced at Aomori and asked.
"Well?" Weiwei looked at Aomori with hopeful eyes.
"Of course I got it, otherwise how could I come here?" Aomori took out the camera, called up the video, and showed it to Kosa.
Aomori, who has received the true biography of Mr. Chen, is not ambiguous at all in the filming.
In the video, Crocodile's arrogant face occupies the entire camera, and he said in a proud tone: "I secretly asked someone to transport the dancing powder to the palace. It is also my masterpiece that the kingdom has not rained for three years."
Ku Sha watched the entire video with a gloomy face, and the subordinates behind him were in an uproar. They couldn't believe that the so-called hero was such a despicable villain, and they shouted to clean up Crocodile.
"Quiet!" Kosha gave an order, and the subordinates immediately shut their mouths. He looked at Weiwei and said, "The matter has developed to this point, and it is beyond our ability to solve it. We can't deal with Crocodile. We have evidence Ask the Navy for help, they will help."
"No need, I have already defeated him, although he escaped by accident in the end." Aomori said in a calm tone, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.
"You said you defeated Crocodile?" Koza said in disbelief.
"uh-huh."
"You are amazing, thank you, Aomori!" Weiwei believed what Aomori said without hesitation, she turned to look at Kosha, and said: "The culprit has been defeated, the rebel army has no meaning to exist. Kou Sha Sha, you can disband the rebel army right here. I guarantee that no one will be punished!"
"Is there no need for the rebel army to exist anymore?" Kosa muttered to himself, "But where should we go if we disband? Return to Juba and wait for death slowly?"
"No!" He suddenly turned up the volume and said, "We don't want to just wait to die like this. If you can't find a way out for the hundreds of thousands of people here, I'd rather die on the battlefield!"
"Yes, we would rather die on the battlefield!" The subordinates shouted.
"Why did this happen? I already know who the culprit is, why do I continue to fight? What should I do?" Wei Wei, who thought it was over, was shocked by the scene in front of her, and her legs and feet couldn't help shaking and wanted to escape from here .
At this time, a warm hand pressed her back.
Aomori lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Next, leave it to me."
Weiwei's eyes lit up, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, she nodded heavily and said, "En!"
Holding Weiwei's soft and boneless little hand, Aomori stepped forward two steps, and said loudly: "If you want to survive, I will give you one!"
After finishing speaking, he took Weiwei and strode forward, passing the stunned Kosha.
Under the oppressive feeling emanating from Aomori, the subordinates consciously made way for them to walk out of the room.
"Go, follow up and see how he saves us?" Kosha quickly recovered and said.
The crowd followed Aomori and the two, left the room together, and came to the square outside.
It is still afternoon, and the sun is still tirelessly shining toward the earth.
Aomori pulled Wei Wei, and walked towards the sky step by step under the shocked eyes of everyone.
"Aomori, what are we going to do?" Seeing them walking higher and higher, Weiwei asked in bewilderment.
"Ask God for rain."
"Praying for rain?" Weiwei's heart jumped suddenly, and she said softly, "Can you do this kind of thing?"
"How do you know if you don't try?" Aomori said with a smile, "It should be almost here."
"Boss, what are they doing? They don't want to escape from the sky, do they?"
"Probably not, Princess Weiwei is not such a stupid person." Kosha kept staring at Aomori next to Weiwei, and he knew that the key point was not Princess Weiwei, but this mysterious man.
Under the gaze of everyone, Aomori raised his free arm, pointed to the sky, and made a voice that even the people on the ground could clearly hear: "The gale wind listens to my command, come down here!"
"Can it really be successful?" Weiwei couldn't help holding her breath, for fear that the sound of her breathing would scare the wind away.
As soon as the words were finished, a strong wind suddenly blew, and sand and rocks flew in the square, causing many people to cover their mouths and noses, and even the sky became gloomy.
"Next, it's Thunder!"
Boom!
The originally clear sky was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds, and lightning bolts were like little golden snakes crawling around in the dark clouds, as if a big golden tree with dense branches had been planted.
"No way, could it be?" The people in the whole city put down their work, ran out the door, and looked towards the sky with disbelieving and hopeful eyes.
"Rain, come!"
Following Aomori's shout, a drop of water fell from the sky and hit Weiwei's face.
Immediately afterwards, there were countless raindrops.
"Really, is it really raining?" Weiwei closed her eyes, raised her head to face the sky, and outlined a semicircular arc with her mouth: "Hahaha ah woo woo woo"
The sour tears mixed into the rainwater, taking away the uneasiness and guilt that had always existed in her heart.
"It's raining, it's raining!"
The crowd below was already completely crazy, laughing and dancing in the majestic heavy rain, celebrating the three-year absence of rain.
Many people still knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to the two people standing in the sky, and shouted words such as "Thank the gods for their mercy".
"Is this the way of life you found for us?" Kosha carefully picked up some rainwater with both hands, raised his head and drank it, and sighed, showing a carefree expression: "No matter what your purpose is, In short, we all have to thank you for bringing life to our land."
The heavy rain continued for a long time. Weiwei, who was standing high in the sky, was a little tired of watching the rain scene, and the rainwater was sticky and uncomfortable on her clothes. She wanted to take a hot bath.
The strange thing is that after soaking in the storm for so long, she didn't feel cold at all, but warm.
‘Maybe the weather in Alabasta is too hot. ’ Weiwei turned to look at Aomori with narrowed eyes and a smile, and said, "Let's go back."
"Okay." Aomori smiled back, dragged Weiwei down, and entered the room just now under the eyes of everyone adoring.
After closing the door, Aomori staggered suddenly. Fortunately, Weiwei, who was next to him, had quick eyesight and gave him a quick hand to help him so he wouldn't fall down.
"Aomori, what's wrong with you?" Weiwei asked worriedly.
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired, just take a rest." Aomori's face was a little pale, but he still had the same smile.
"Tired? Was it caused by calling the wind and calling the rain just now? Yes, it must be very difficult to change the weather so drastically." Weiwei said with self-blame: "It's all my fault. .”
"Wait." She recalled the warm feeling of her body when she was in the rain just now, which was very similar to when she met Xue Aomori with her ability to protect her from the cold before, and blurted out: "Have you been helping me keep warm? Why? Why don't you stop my willful behavior sooner? Are you an idiot?"
‘As soon as Aomori defeated Crocodile, he rushed here non-stop, then spent a lot of energy to summon rain, and finally took care of me, no wonder he was tired. ’ Thinking of this, Weiwei felt extremely guilty and distressed.
"As long as you're happy, I'm fine anyway, I'll be alive again after a short rest." Aomori stroked Weiwei's wet hair and said, "You'd better change into dry clothes quickly and dry your hair, in case It's not good if you have a cold."
"Always busy taking care of others, you should take care of yourself more anyway." Weiwei pouted and said, "I'll get you dry clothes, after changing, go to bed and rest."
"good."
Watching Weiwei leave the room and close the door, Aomori restrained his smile, and his face quickly returned to normal.
"Hmph, have you always deceived others like this? You really deserve to be a hero." In the corner of the room, Chaomeng's figure suddenly appeared, sneering at Aomori.
"As long as the starting point and the result are good, the intermediate process doesn't matter. Besides, as long as I act real enough to deceive everyone, then it will be true."
"I don't understand you human beings. Things that can be done well with strength have to be so troublesome."
"Heh, if you stay in human society longer, you will understand." Aomori waved his hand and said, "Also, thank you for your help just now. Without you, it would be difficult to make such a big scene."
"It's nothing, it's just an equivalent exchange." After finishing speaking, Chaomeng glanced at the door, and his figure disappeared in the darkness again.
With a bang, the door was opened, Weiwei walked in again, handed Aomori a set of clean clothes, and urged him to change quickly.
She herself has changed into a set of plain casual clothes, her hair is scattered casually, like a simple and lovely girl next door.
"?"
"See what I do? Hurry up and change."
"Are you going to watch me change my clothes here? I don't care, I'm just afraid of affecting your reputation, Your Highness the Princess."
"Oh, I forgot." Weiwei blushed, stuck out her little tongue, and ran out of the room embarrassingly.
After a while, Aomori, who had changed his clothes, opened the door and invited Weiwei who was standing outside the door into the room.
"I heard from Koza that he will start preparing for peace talks with the king's army. If there are no accidents, Alabasta will usher in real peace, and all of this is thanks to you. Tomorrow we will set off with Koza The palace sees my father and explains these things to him, of course your credit will be fully stated, and you will definitely be rewarded a lot.”
Aomori smiled and said, "Then can I advance a reward now?"
"Now? But now I have nothing valuable to give you."
"No expensive things, just sit on the carpet with your legs out."
"Ah? Yes, is that so?" Weiwei straightened her clothes and sat down as said.
"Yes, keep still."
"oh."
Aomori sat beside her, his body fell slowly, his head rested on her lap, and he closed his eyes comfortably.
"This way, is it all right?" Weiwei's eyes flicked around, not daring to look down at Aomori.
"Well. Let me sleep for a while. For me, this is a great gift."
"good"
Waiting until Aomori's breathing became smooth and even, Weiwei dared to lower her head.
Looking at his perfect sleeping face, recalling what happened these days, Weiwei is extremely glad that she met Aomori.
She stretched out her hand to gently stroke Aomori's face, and said, "Good night, my hero."
