Chapter 303: A One Year Covenant

The sky was bright, and the faint smell of blood wafted in the wind. Su Ren was sleeping very solidly, with a smile on his lips. Huang Shisan came in and looked at it three times, without daring to disturb him, and then quietly left. It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Su Ren was

I woke up hungry. I opened my eyes, let out a long yawn, rubbed my eyes, and saw two dark things on the table in my sleepy eyes.

It took him a long time to see clearly that there were two heads. Su Ren was shocked: "Who is it?"

Huang Shisan hurried in and saw Su Ren sitting under the bed, with disheveled hair, only wearing a middle coat, bare feet, and his eyes were dull.

Su Ren pointed to the head on the table: "Who is it? Who put it here?"

Huang Shisan hesitated and couldn't understand. Hawking raised the curtain and showed his big face: "Brother, you're awake! Look, these are Hou Jian and Hou Si, they were both killed last night! Look at this

My head, it’s so miserable when you die, you can’t even find your body.”

Su Ren got up from the ground angrily and glared at Hawking: "Take it out! Take it out for me quickly! Don't you know I'm afraid of blood?"

Seeing such disgusting things together, Su Ren's appetite disappeared instantly. Hou Jian died calmly, with his eyes open and his face calm. Hou Si was much more terrifying, with a pair of eyes protruding and his whole face distorted.

The white hair on his head was scattered in front of his eyes, and he obviously refused to rest in peace.

The battlefield has been cleaned, the corpses have been neatly stacked aside, and the weapons and armor have been taken off. According to Hawking, this time they had a great victory, only ten people were injured, and the twenty-eight soldiers led by Hou Jian were defeated.

The entire team was wiped out, including the two haunting guys Hou Jian and Hou Si. Not only did they eliminate harm to themselves, they also avenged the villagers of Liujiazhai.

"What are you going to do with these bodies? Should you hand them over to the government or bury them on the spot?" Su Kai dragged his injured arm and stood quietly next to Su Ren.

"Burn it! Since these people have never been to Shu, let's help them!"

"How can this be done?" Su Kai said quickly: "This is evidence of the Huainan King's rebellion. To mobilize troops without permission from the court is to commit rebellion!"

Su Ren shook his head: "The King of Huainan will not admit it. There is no one left alive. Just based on our words, the court will never do anything to a person who broke the earth and became a king! Maybe we will be involved too. This

We went to Chang'an once to save people, so it's not a good idea to get into something like this."

"Then we can't burn it! Maybe it will be useful then!"

"Dead people are of no use to anyone. Because these people are dead, King Huainan covered up the fact that he secretly sent people to Shu. If we want these dead people, they will have no use. If we keep them, King Huainan will hate us!

Just pretend that nothing happened, so King Huainan will think that we dare not provoke him, and maybe he can let us go."

"Naive!" Su Kai said coldly: "I can send people to kill you, but you still have illusions!"

After Su Kai finished speaking, he turned around and left. Ying Guangji stayed up all night. Although he was the young master of Wumuya, this was the first time he went into battle to kill people. With excitement on his face, he came to Su Ren's side, holding a bag in his hand.

Holding his sword, with dark red blood stains on the blade, he expressed his merit to Su Ren again.

Su Rengong held up his hand and said, "This time, I would like to thank Mr. Ying. I won't say anything polite. I will definitely repay this favor!"

"Hahaha..." Ying Guangji laughed: "That's what you said! I won't be merciful then!"

Su Ren smiled: "Don't worry, I will never default on your debt."

A fire not only burned the twenty-eight corpses, but also burned all the information brought by those corpses. Whether it was weapons, armor, identity cards, and marks unique to the Huainan Palace, in this

Everything was reduced to nothing in the fire. Huang Shisan picked up two heads and threw them into the blazing fire. The smell of rotting meat immediately penetrated his nostrils.

Watching the fire devour everything until the last spark was extinguished, Su Ren had someone dig a deep pit on the spot and bury all the ashes. After doing all this, he returned to his tent and sat down on a chair with his arms stretched out.

:"I'm hungry!"

Dong Qian and Leng Yue came in with a tray. It contained white porridge and wild vegetables. A plate of cooked meat with sauce was placed in front of Su Ren. After taking a look, Su Ren closed his eyes. He had just seen the bloody scene.

Fei's corpse, now eating these purple-red sauced meats, makes people feel like vomiting. When Leng Yue saw it, she quickly stretched out her hand to remove the sauced meats.

Su Ren waved his hand: "I'm fine. Have you all eaten?"

Leng Yue nodded: "I've eaten all of them, but Sister Dong specially ordered this sauce meat to be cooked for you."

Su Ren smiled and looked at Dong Qian: "Don't use this to stimulate me. I'm used to these things now. I will eat them all."

Sure enough, Su Ren ate all the plate of sauced meat, but the porridge and wild vegetables were not touched at all. After drinking a glass, Su Ren let out a sigh of relief: "If you want to do something big, how can you back down just because a few people died? Just like

Shopkeeper Zhuo said, although I have never killed anyone with my own hands, a lot of people have died in my hands. This is a society of the jungle and the strong. If you don't eat meat, you can only wait to be eaten by others."

Dong Qian nodded: "That's good! When should we set off?"

"Don't be in a hurry. I still have some things to do. I'm just going to stay here for two days. The scenery is nice. I don't know if I'll have the chance to come here again in the future."

"Are you waiting for Taoist Master Leng? He has been very close to Ying Guangji's people these days, so you are not afraid..."

Su Renyi raised his hand to stop Dong Qian from continuing, looking at Leng Yue who lowered his head and said: "Leng Jun and I met for the first time. He saved me, fought with me, went to Yuanshan with me, come together

Chengdu, and we have to go to Chang'an together. No matter what Leng Jun does, he is my good brother and will never change in this life."

Leng Yue's tears fell, Dong Qian stretched out her hand to hug Leng Yue into her arms: "I'm very happy that you can say that, and I also believe that Master Leng will not become our enemy!"

For three days in a row, Su Ren did not move. Everyone, including the mules and horses, stayed in the camp. The food was bought from Jiange County. There was plenty of fodder for the mules and horses. It was enough to send more than twenty camelmen to cut the grass every day.

For three days, Su Ren stayed in his tent without taking a step out. Huang Shisan stood outside the door holding a big axe. No one was allowed in except Dong Qian and Leng Yue who brought food.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the wind on the mountain ridge is comfortable. At a glance, there are no clouds, and there are continuous peaks higher than the other, extending to places beyond the eyesight. If you have good eyesight, you may be able to see the sword.

The overhanging eaves of the watchtower at the gate. More and more people are coming and going on the official road. A large number of merchants pass by here and enter Shu County, and occasionally they can bring news from outside.

Su Ren did not show up, and neither did Ying Guangji. The two of them seemed to have agreed to avoid anyone. Until the evening three days later, Ying Guangji's servant just stood at the entrance of Su Ren's tent, and Su Ren's words

Came from inside: "Let Mr. Ying come in."

Huang Shisan opened the curtain, the old servant smiled, lowered his head and got in: "I pay my respects to Mr. Su!"

Su Ren nodded: "Tell me, what does your young master want from me?"

The old servant was calm and said: "My young master invites you to go there. I have to rush back immediately. My young master wants to say goodbye to you."

"Oh? Your young master is the young master of Wumuya. We need him to rush back quickly. Something big must have happened."

The old servant saluted again: "I don't know about this little man. I wonder if your husband will be free tonight? My young master invites you to go to the ridge opposite to have a talk."

"Haha!" Su Ren smiled and said, "If you have time, of course you have time. Your young master has helped me so much, how could I not go? I will be there before dark."

"Thank you sir, I will go back and inform my young master to say goodbye!"

There were only some low weeds on the bare mountain ridge. The fog had just dissipated, and there were still raindrops on the grass blades. A dozen bright torches illuminated this area clearly. Ying Guangji was dressed in white, facing the mountains.

Sitting on a chair, there is a big table next to me, with seven or eight dishes on it. The moon is above my head, making the dark mountains even more majestic.

"Drinking alone with the moon is not a good thing." Su Ren came with Huang Shisan. Faced with a dozen killers standing around like javelins, Huang Shisan looked on coldly.

Ying Guangji stood up quickly and saluted Su Ren: "It is precisely because drinking alone is not a good thing that I invited Brother Su to come over. It would not be bad for you and me to drink and admire the moon together."

Su Ren picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp without looking at it: "Good wine! I heard that Young Master Ying is leaving, why?"

Ying Guangji smiled: "The promise to Brother Su is over. From here to Chang'an, no one will make things difficult for Brother Su. It is not a good thing for me to stay with Brother Su with my status."

"That's the same!" Su Ren nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Ying, for your understanding!"

Ying Guangji shook his head: "Brother Su, don't forget to owe me a favor? I will go to Chang'an in a year, and I will definitely find Brother Su at his door."

"Oh? Why is Mr. Ying so sure?"

Ying Guangji smiled: "You will know when the time comes, there is no point in saying it now!"

"Okay, then I won't ask. I will never go back on what I promised. I will definitely help wherever I can!"

Looking at the mountains in front of me, it was so dark that I couldn't breathe. The torches were blown by the night wind, and I didn't feel cold all over after drinking. The dishes on the table were almost contaminated.

No one moved their chopsticks. They didn't say anything else, they just drank wine quietly and looked at the mountains. A red sun slowly poked its head out from the horizon, and the golden light was very beautiful.

Until the sun finally showed its face, Ying Guangji slowly stood up from the chair and smiled at Su Ren: "Farewell!"

Su Ren nodded: "Have a nice trip!"

Ying Guangji said goodbye, took two steps, and then turned back: "Don't forget our one-year appointment!"

Su Ren smiled and watched as Ying Guangji led his men along the mountain road and disappeared behind the woods. He stood on the top of the mountain and felt the warmth of the sun. The mist on his body rose, like a martial arts master's inner strength exploding.

"Sir, did you really agree to help him? He is a remnant of the pre-Qin Dynasty!" Huang Shisan turned to look at Su Ren.

Su Ren smiled and said nothing. (To be continued)
