Er Gouzi and San Bengzi did not faint, but their bodies were in severe pain from the rope, so they just lay there quietly, not wanting to move.
"Er Gouzi, we are finished." San Bengzi said feebly, with despair in his tone, and a hint of relief in his despair.
"That man is so awesome." Er Gouzi just sighed. He didn't feel the same emotions as San Bengzi because of the current situation. He only felt guilty for what Chen Mo had entrusted to him.
That man was so powerful that at first the two of them thought he was just an ordinary soldier. For the two of them who often wandered around the border, it should be an easy thing to get rid of him.
But the man followed the two of them leisurely, like a cat playing with a mouse. The two saw that the situation was not good, Er Gouzi wanted to hold the other person down, and let San Bengzi escape on his own. It was better to be caught alone.
Two people were arrested.
But that person was right in Er Gouzi's eyes, and a circle of void struck San Bengzi's back. Although Er Gouzi couldn't see it, he could still feel an invisible fist flying towards San Bengzi's back.
Er Gouzi didn't have time to warn him, but San Bengzi, who was trying to escape, suddenly flew out from behind like he was being pushed by gravity, and fell heavily to the ground.
Ergouzi didn't care so much and rushed towards the man, trying to fight him. However, like a hungry wolf pouncing on food, he couldn't even touch the corner of the man's clothes. Instead, he was punched by him.
With one palm, he hit himself, and it felt like someone hit him with a sledgehammer.
Sanbengzi, who got up on the ground, saw that he could not escape. He gritted his teeth and pounced on the man, praying for survival in the two-on-one fight.
The fight in the woods became a one-sided situation. Even if the two of them attacked together, there was no chance of winning. Only then did they realize how powerful Chen Mo was back then.
The two of them were soon defeated. The bare soldier didn't knock them unconscious. He just beat them until they were unable to fight back. However, they still had the ability to move. They put on ropes and slowly led them back to their team.
The two of them lay in the crowded prison car, feebly looking at the sky through the gap at the top of the prison cell, counting the twinkling stars, and being laughed at by the cold crescent moon.
Everyone else in the car looked at the two people timidly, with pity in their eyes.
"Er Gouzi, what should we do next?" San Bengzi also lost his attention.
"What else can we do? Not to mention that we can't beat that person, this iron chain is enough for us." Ergouzi shook the iron chain on him. Not everyone has the same treatment as them.
Most of the others were just tied with hemp rope.
"Sanbengzi, do you still remember how you looked when you first met Chen Mo?"
"Remember." Of course Santengzi remembered that Chen Mo came to their Tiger Hill Castle as a strong man. At that time, the iron chains on his body were exaggerated and scary. He was tied up like a rice dumpling, but he could still
Walk steadily.
"It belongs to his grandfather. If you give me two knives, I will definitely chop that guy down." Ergouzi was still a little unconvinced. In the previous fight, he did not show his strength at all.
"Okay, I'll give you four knives that are probably useless. I guess that person is the person who practices martial arts as Chen Mo said, not those of us who know a little bit of boxing and kicking." San Tengzi
He said calmly: "It's better to think about what to do next."
"What else can we do? Let's get some sleep first." After saying that, Ergouzi closed his eyes and started snoring.
.......
In a brothel in a small town, a few dusty officers and soldiers were hugging lazy women on the left and right. Wine and food were placed on the table, and they were laughing and chatting happily.
"Boss, are you feeling better?" One by one, the men broke away from the women beside them, raised the wine glasses in their hands, and toasted to their bosses.
"Normally, no beating." The man cursed the wine glass out of boredom and took a sip.
"Boss, with your skills, how can a few untouchables stand it? If you are really upset, it doesn't matter if you beat a few to death. You can just look for them when the time comes. No one knows anyway." A companion said with a look on his face.
He said nonchalantly, not caring at all that there were those enchanting outsiders next to him.
"The war at the border is tight and we need a lot of people. It's hard to find this person. We can't just accept other people's money and arrest them. But if the descendants are anxious and bite back, the gain will outweigh the loss." The man who is the leader.
Sighing.
"Let me tell you, with your ability, it would be better to go to the battlefield. When you get the credit, you won't have to work so hard."
The man smiled and said nothing while eating the vegetables.
The battlefield? That's where the real swordsmanship is lost. I do know some skills, and the strength of the Xiaoer realm is indeed brave in their eyes, but in the confrontation of thousands of people, it is not enough to see. These
People who have never been to the battlefield will not know how cruel it is.
"You guys drink, I'm going to rest." As he said this, the man put down the chopsticks in his hands, grabbed the two women next to him, put his arms around their waists, and walked out of this noisy place.
"Boss, please take it easy. We have a mission tomorrow."
...
At dawn the next day, the officers and soldiers who had been having fun all night appeared in the camp with the smell of rouge all over their bodies. They brazenly showed off the massacre last night to their comrades who were left behind and their eyes were red because they didn't know if they had not slept enough.
Quartet.
After a little fuss, the convoy set off again.
The vehicle Er Gouzi and San Bengzi were in was at the end of the queue. They were stuck on the fence at the end, with their feet hanging out of the car. Their bodies were pressed against the fence, their heads stuck in the gap, and they were eating listlessly.
Holding the meager amount of dry food and looking at the few officers and soldiers at the end of the convoy, they also looked listless and sleepy.
"That's what I think." Santengzi said softly.
Ergouzi did not answer, but said to the sleepy officers and soldiers in front of them: "I need to pee."
Several officers and soldiers slowly raised their lowered heads and looked at the two guys, whose expressions were completely different from those of the other people who were captured. One of them said angrily: "Hold it, if you can't hold it in, you'll pee in your crotch."
"
After saying that, he ignored the two of them.
"There's no other way." Ergouzi then answered the question that Sanbengzi asked before.
"You came up with this shitty idea in one night?" Santengzi was furious.
"Yes, my brain is not working well, so you should find a way." Ergouzi said helplessly.
"Unexpected, just accept your fate." Santengzi said cheerfully.
"Chen Mo, I'm sorry. We two brothers are at our wits end. We were unlucky. We were not discovered by those people or the hero. Instead, we were captured as young men. You guys should do something good.
"Er Gouzi looked up at the cloudless sky. "Don't blame us, we can't protect ourselves. Remember, if you go back, you must come to save us."
Santengzi listened to Ergouzi's words, lowered his head in deep thought, and suddenly said in a low voice.
"Er Gouzi, I suddenly realized that this seems pretty good for us."
"Ah?! What do you mean? Is it a good thing to work for these people and wait for your own limbs to chop them off?" Ergouzi also lowered his voice very low.
"Is this the third path that Chen Mo gave at that time?" San Tengzi stretched out his three fingers.
Looking at Ergouzi who looked confused, he continued: "Anyway, there is no hope of finding that hero. We don't have to worry about how to make a choice. These people just kicked our choice."
"Where are we going now? Isn't it the other side of the border? Isn't the third route given by Chen Mo asking us to go back directly across the border? Anyway, we are going there, and it's not a matter of going there by ourselves or being caught by them.
Is it the same?"
"Besides, it's better this way than choosing to go there by yourself."
"What's a good idea?" Ergouzi asked again in a low voice.
"Look, now we don't have to walk there by ourselves, we can just take a car there. Isn't that great? How much effort is saved. This is one of them."
"Secondly, since they want us to fight, they should at least equip us with some equipment. With the equipment, we will have the confidence to survive better."
"Thirdly, if we go directly, we still have to be wary of these people from the Shang Kingdom. Now we don't have to. In their eyes, we are all in the same group. Isn't this convenient?"
"So when the time comes, if we really declare our identities to the Chu State, they will naturally take us back, and if we do too much, we will be tortured. When they find out, they will let us go."
"Wait!" Ergouzi stopped him and said, "Have you ever considered one thing? Hu... We were the only ones who survived that battle. Who are we, deserters? That's a capital crime."
Santengzi smiled and said, "I thought of it."
"Then you can still laugh?"
"But we still have a trump card." Sanbengzi said with enough appetite.
"Stop nagging and say."
"You forgot, there are Chen Mo and the others. That girl is not an ordinary person. Since Chen Mo said that she has a relationship with that person, we can't die. That person will definitely come to see us. When the time comes, we will tell the situation here
After all, there is hard work even without merit, so there must be some reward after all."
"Look, not only are we saved, but Chen Mo's side is also saved. Everyone is happy."
Ergouzi was stunned by what he said and nodded: "Okay, I came up with this idea so quickly. It seems we were right to be caught. You should know that we shouldn't have resisted in the first place. Grandpa's suffering was in vain."
I beat that man severely."
It's just that the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. It's not that easy to implement it.
"Are these two so stupid after being beaten on the head? They were still smiling so stupidly after being caught." A few people behind the formation accidentally saw the two of them smiling stupidly.
"If you're stupid, you're stupid. As long as you're a human being, you're going to die anyway."
"It is said that stupid people will have stupid blessings, and they will die stupidly if they are stupid."
Such a small episode gave a few people some energy again.
