A group of people were either frightened or stunned, looking down at the blood on their bodies or hands, and walking towards the door in no sequence.
Suddenly, a gust of cool wind blew in my face, and the light of the oil lamp went out.
Suddenly, several people suddenly woke up, including Zhang Baoer's 'old acquaintance'.
The 'old acquaintance' walked at the end, his eyes suddenly flashed with a stern look, then he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, turned around suddenly, knelt down and shouted:
"Sir! We are willing to resign from the military and join you! Please do it!"
Hearing the sound, everyone in front of him paused and couldn't help but turn their heads to look.
Zhang Baoer, who had just stood up and was about to rescue Xiao Ha from Tang Tiantian's 'sugar poison', was also stunned, but he did not turn around and said coldly without squinting:
"Haha, I don't dare to use people like you!"
After saying that, he continued to walk forward with a smile.
Watching him pick up Xiao Ha and take a handful of candy from Tang Tiantian's hand and feed it to Xiao Ha, the 'old acquaintance' suddenly froze, then trembled, and almost fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, he burst into tears...
Later, he stood up in despair, walked through the crowd like a zombie, walked out of the light, and was hidden by the night.
Seeing this, his 'companions' came to their senses, and they all sighed and followed him out.
After watching this scene, Hong Qi and Hulu Baoguang couldn't help but look at each other, and both breathed a sigh of relief. They found that there was deep pride and joy in each other's eyes.
As for Duoduo, she didn't have so many complicated emotions. When she saw the Beast God snatching candy from the God of Service, she swallowed her saliva and looked at the Second God eagerly.
Tang Tiantian was hiding her mouth with her mouth full of grievances. When Duoduo looked at her, her eyes lit up. She hummed at Zhang Baoer and Xiaoha a few times, and grabbed more candy bars than Zhang Baoer had snatched.
Give a lot.
The next moment, Duoduo was overjoyed, but she regretted it - Xiaoha was a silly dog who was satisfied as long as there was food in his mouth. He didn't say anything jealous and didn't even look here.
Zhang Baoer laughed loudly and quickly ordered Hong Qi and Hulu Baoguang to put away the gold and silver balls on the ground, and then went to cook.
It was night, and a group of them stayed in the city camp for the night. Because "Chong Er Fei" aroused Zhang Baoer's deep thoughts, he did not practice the piano that night for the first time.
However, everyone did not sleep well that night. In the middle of the night, bursts of whirring and crackling sounds came from a distance. Tang Tiantian led Duoduo, Hong Qi and Hulu Baoguang and kicked Zhang Baoer to death in the room.
's door.
After coming in, she laughed and shouted to Zhang Baoer:
"Brother! Don't sleep! There's a fire outside. Come out and take a look! It's so beautiful!"
Zhang Baoer had black lines on his head and did not get up. He lay on the wooden bed and cursed angrily:
"What's so good to see?! Go, go, go to bed! Our old acquaintance is killing people and setting fires... What's so good about killing people and setting fires?! Leave me alone!"
After scolding him, he did not forget to kick Tang Tiantian.
This kick was not fast, and Tang Tiantian dodged it easily. She made a face, and pulled Duoduo out. Hong Qi and Hulubao saw that the Beast God was so calm, so they naturally stopped staying any longer.
Followed out.
Zhang Baoer looked at the broken door and the firelight with complicated eyes. In fact, he had noticed something strange long before Tang Tiantian and the others noticed it and went out to check it out.
He saw an "old acquaintance" leading two people, heavily armed, visiting people everywhere. When he saw someone, he asked them if they were willing to follow the "adult". That "adult" was naturally Zhang Baoer.
If the other person said he was unwilling or hesitated or his eyes flickered when he answered, they would pounce on him and kill him. They would not even let go of those old people, old people, old people and those two lunatics.
Zhang Baoer originally wanted to stop it, but in the end he hesitated - that night, he actually didn't sleep a wink because he was worried that among the people he let go, there were Yu players like Mr. Nan Guo!
Still the same truth, a grain of sand hidden in the desert is the hardest thing to find unless you take away the entire desert.
So he hesitated, and finally made up his mind that they were still responsible for the crime - although he would still feel uneasy, but it was better to do it through the hands of others than to do it himself. Since they were willing to surrender, and since he was already dirty,
Why not be a little dirty? Why not fulfill them?!
So, after adding the 'old acquaintances', a total of five people survived, the city was flooded, the city gate was smashed, and the huge footprints of the mountain wolf were carved out one by one with blood-stained knives and hands -
—The illusion of a giant wolf slaughtering the city is being quietly arranged.
This arrangement made Zhang Baoer's eyes light up, and he secretly praised his cleverness. The reason why his eyes were full of complexity was generally due to uneasy conscience, and the other half was due to being undecided.
He seemed to have seen the five people appear in front of him again: they were kneeling, covered in injuries and soot, begging him to take them in.
These people were too ruthless, unlike the simple people of the Hulu tribe. Although he wanted to take them for his own use, he didn't know if he could control them!
…
Sure enough, the five people came the next day and knelt in front of him without saying a word.
Zhang Baoer did not speak immediately. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said in a calm tone:
"I need a reason!"
Tang Tiantian and the others were confused by what they heard, but the 'old acquaintance' understood immediately. He put his forehead on the ground and said:
"Replying to your lord, all five of us have reasons. My words are true, and my son's words are true. He is a man of extraordinary talent. He was enlightened at the age of eleven the year before last and became a monk like me. But I was born in a poor family.
There is no future, and even at this age, I can only reach the third level of Foundation Establishment... I can't provide my son with training resources, and I am willing to die for you, just to find a future for my son."
After saying this, he kept his head on the ground and pointed his hand back at one person. The youngest person also imitated the practice of touching his forehead to the ground.
"His name is Ye Yu. He is also a commoner with extremely high talents. He just turned seventeen the day before yesterday. He had no choice but to join the army in order to find a career. Although he lacks resources, he is just like a villain and has the same level three cultivation level.
! The villain is willing to risk his life as a guarantee. He is absolutely reliable. What he is asking for is an opportunity."
After saying that, his finger turned to another person...
Zhang Baoer knocked on the handrail slowly, his face as calm as water, and patiently listened to Yan Tie's introduction one by one.
After everyone was introduced, the five of them still touched their foreheads to the ground, waiting for Zhang Baoer's answer.
Zhang Baoer didn't keep them waiting and said slowly:
"Why?"
Seeing that they didn't seem to understand, he added:
"Why choose me as your master?"
Yan Tie thought for a while and replied:
"I dare not deceive you. Although you are young and powerful, what convinces us is not your martial arts talent, but your way of doing things..."
"Style?!"
Zhang Baoer was suddenly stunned. This answer was beyond his expectation. He only heard Yan Tie continue to explain:
"Yes! Your Excellency is both murderous and ruthless, but you also have a kind heart. It sounds very contradictory, but this contradiction is what we value, because it proves that you are neither a good person nor a bad person! We are willing to follow this
If you do what you did last night, you will respect your master in this life. If you violate this oath, you will not die well in this life!"
These words were very direct and real. Hong Qi, Hulu Baoguang and Duoduo all looked at each other angrily - this person actually said that the noble Beast God is not a good person?!
Zhang Baoer nodded slowly. Although Yan Tie didn't say what was good about a person who was neither a good person nor a bad person, he could understand that martial arts was difficult. It was like sailing against the current. Every step of the way was frightening. A person who doesn't know how to adapt.
Most people will only hit their heads and bleed bloody, and stop somewhere.
Martial arts is not a path that a pure person should take! He understood this truth as early as when he was being hunted in the God Realm: Weak people, things in the world are constantly changing, and everything depends on fate; strong people, no matter how violent the wind and waves are,
, I am as motionless as a mountain.
Treat yourself just like you would treat a teak tree with a broken root. The best way to treat it is not to 'let it go', but to make it into a canoe needed for 'retrograde movement' - only in this way, it will not be lost forever.
Meaningless decay and annihilation.
So, he stood up under the puzzled eyes of Hong Qi and the other three, and said slowly:
"Remember what you said today! I am neither a bad person nor a good person... Get up!"
Hearing this, Yan Tie and others all expressed their gratitude, but before he could stand up straight, Tang Tiantian shouted in surprise:
"Who...come to help carry the knife!"
Zhang Baoer was immediately speechless. This cheap girl is basically a lazy person. She is more active in eating than anyone else. When she was asked to help collect dry firewood, she refused...
...
"Yan Tie."
"Here! Sir, please give me your instructions!"
"I'm not from here, and I don't understand many situations... For example, can you really withdraw from the military at will? What procedures are not required?"
"Yes, sir! The city guard, the deputy general and the other city lord who had already escaped with his men were appointed by the royal court, but we are all soldiers recruited by the city guard himself. The royal court will not give us food and salary.
From the city guard, there is no problem as long as he agrees. But now that he is dead, it is up to me to decide whether to stay or go. You don't have to worry about trouble. Neither the city guard nor the deputy general have any backing, otherwise they would not serve here.
Already."
"It's so true!"
Zhang Baoer didn't expect that this kind of system would exist here. You must know that the army is the most important weapon of the country. How can it be so casual? Isn't the king afraid that the generals will support themselves with troops?
Under his questioning, Yan Tie told him: The royal family controls important resources such as spiritual springs and rare mineral veins. Not only do they have a large number of super masters to worship them, but their own people are also generally very powerful and have no fear of foreign enemies...
.
After listening to this, Zhang Baoer suddenly understood: This is the world of martial arts. Those with high levels of cultivation can be as powerful as a thousand, or even tens of thousands, a hundred thousand, a million...
While they were talking, the group of people had passed through the devastated small town with lingering smoke, stepped on the east gate with the "giant wolf paw prints" lying on the ground, and exited Stone City.
Seeing this paw print, Yan Tie and others couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly, because they already understood that the skin of the wolf pack that destroyed the Red City was now being shared among them!
At the same time, there was a strong look of excitement in their eyes, because they knew what it meant to have a new master who could hunt down the Mountain Wolf King!
"Sir! Please wait a moment!"
Yan Tie quickly caught up a few steps forward and explained to Zhang Baoer respectfully:
"There is a hidden valley five miles away on the left. The city guard and the lieutenant-general sent two close aides there to take care of the two war chickens in case of any unexpected events! Haha, it's a long way to go. Let's go and fetch the war chickens for you.
.”
"War chicken?!"
Zhang Baoer didn't know the meaning of the word, but nodded anyway and asked them if they could handle it themselves.
Yan Tie and others laughed, puffed up their chests and said no problem, then put down their luggage and set off with their weapons.
Zhang Baoer had no doubt of fraud, because the five of them killed more people than himself.
He was very curious: What on earth is this ‘war chicken’?
