Chapter 135 Chickens in the Cockfighting Arena

Snowflakes were falling, it was evening again, and two days had passed since the melee that night.

Buxiu sat alone in the wooden house. He spent the past two days in panic. If he hadn't used the secret technique of monks that night, he might have died in the snow in a foreign country.

"What an unlucky place..." Buxiu sighed, not knowing how to describe the situation in front of him. After much deliberation, in the end he just used unlucky to end his discomfort.

"I'm an unlucky person too!"

Although the barbecue was sizzling with oil on the fire, he didn't even have the desire to take a bite. He didn't know how much meat had been roasted in the past two days, and sometimes he couldn't swallow it when it was brought to his mouth.

He felt like a lone wolf in the cold wind. He couldn't see the way forward and just wanted to retreat to his den to feel the familiar warmth.

"Papa pa pa"

There was a knock on the door, and Bu Xiu, who was deep in thought, came back to his senses in an instant. He subconsciously put his hand on the handle of the knife and looked at the door warily, not daring to get close. Instead, he got ready to take action.

"Who? Tell me your name."

Because he was nervous, Buxiu subconsciously started to use his native dialect. After a while, the knocking on the door stopped. Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a voice came from outside.

"Opening the show, what is Jili Guala saying? I don't understand!"

"Old Gu?"

"It's me! Open the door quickly, it's almost freezing outside." There was a hint of sullenness in Lao Gu's voice. Is this man's brain broken? If Qi Ren came over, how could he knock on the door? He doesn't think this thin piece of wood can block three second-grade ones, does he?

Hearing the familiar tone, Bu Xiu opened the door in horror and welcomed the old Gu in black robes. Looking at this strange figure, Bu Xiu couldn't react for a while.

"Are you...are you an old Gu...?"

"I'm not an old Gu, who am I? Are you frightened out of your courage? Who else will knock on the door except me? You don't believe the Qi people say that they are a country of etiquette, do you?" He raised his pale face without any color at all. , the tall old Gu looked down at Bu Xiu and said angrily.

After closing the door, Bu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was an acquaintance. As for Bu Xiu's unkind tone, just pretend he didn't hear him.

"Old Gu, I thought you were dead. It's not easy to see you again... It's just the two of us. What should we do next? How about..."

"Death to your desire to run away!"

Lao Gu interrupted him unceremoniously, grabbed the meat roasted on the fire, and ate it hungrily, looking like a refugee who had been hungry for several days.

After eating two large pieces of grilled meat and drinking two glasses of wine, Lao Gu wiped the grease stars from the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, picked his teeth and laughed.

"You don't want to run away now, do you?"

Bu Xiu sat opposite Lao Gu, lowering his head and laughing at himself, with a helpless tone, "What else can we do if we don't run away now? Don't say that the two of us killed three of each other, haha. The boy named Zhao, We are no match against each other, and we cannot fight against trapped beasts!”

"We become the dogs of the barbarians for the sake of glory and wealth, but we are not really the dogs that the barbarians work for!"

Old Gu said indifferently, "You still know that we are dogs raised by barbarians? I thought you regarded yourself as your master."

"Would you let your dog run away? That's too much daydreaming!"

"How come we can't run away!" Bu Xiu's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't wait to retort, "We are both warriors whose skills are stronger than our methods. As long as we get down the mountain, the sky is high and we will be able to walk. At worst, you can follow me back to Fusang."

Without answering his words, Lao Gu just lay half-lying against the wall with no interest, as if he was savoring the deliciousness of the barbecue.

The more Buxiu talked, the more excited he became, and the more he talked, the more feasible it became. He kept talking, and his voice became much louder in the end. His face was full of energy, as if he had seen the happy life of the two after they escaped.

"Okay, just keep mumbling for a while. Do you really think it's feasible? To be a dog, you have to have the awareness to be a dog!" Lao Gu impatiently interrupted his chirping, raised his finger and pointed in the distance. road.

"What's on the mountain?"

"Qi people!"

"No! There are two first-grade barbarians! They are watching, boy!"

Buxiu hesitated at these words, as if he was a duck being strangled by the neck, but he still retorted forcefully, "It's just two first-class people. I don't believe you don't have the means to save your life. The sky is high under the mountain and the sea is wide. It's a good place!"

"No, the foot of the mountain is not a good place, but the burial place for both of us!"

Lao Gu sat up straight and said without hesitation, "You don't think there is nothing at the foot of the mountain, do you? You don't think there are only ten of us here, do you? You will die as a soldier at the foot of the mountain, not to mention... ..”

"Is it possible that we sit back and wait for death? Is it possible that the two of us are still afraid of those soldiers? If we don't leave now and wait for those three Qi people to react, we won't be able to leave!"

"We can't leave now..."

Old Gu walked with a low voice, his voice was small but sure, as if he was explaining the facts, "Do you remember how many people there were when we came?"

"There are ten people, including a leader, a total of eleven people. Why do you suddenly ask this?" Bu Xiu asked in confusion.

"The person leading the way is a master..."

The word "grandmaster" exploded in Bu Xiu's mind like a bomb. For a moment, his mind was empty. His mouth opened and closed but he couldn't say even a single word.

Old Gu said slowly and in a deep voice, "I didn't fall asleep that night, and I happened to see the leader rise out of thin air, without any movement under his feet to use force."

"It's not floating in the air, it's flying in the air!"

"You said, apart from the master who has left the world, who else can do it?"

Although the words were not long, it seemed to sentence the two of them to death.

After the words fell, Bu Xiu collapsed against the wall powerlessly. He was still confident that he could run out as a first-class player, but he had no confidence at all as a master.

After hope was shattered, there was only endless despair.

"We are like chickens in a fighting cock cage. We either peck each other to death or be pecked to death by each other."

"There is no third way. If we fly out of the cage, we will become a dish on the chopping board..."

Putting a piece of meat on the fire, Lao Gu sighed grimly. To be honest, he didn't want to fight to the death with the other side, but there was no way out!

In the tent at the foot of the mountain, Lu Wenyu sat by Zhang Chongjing's bed, listening to Zhang Chongjing's detailed account of the mountain.

"He is a capable person, but fortunately he loves money more than his life..."

Although he praised in his heart, his facial expression did not change at all. As if he didn't hear Zhang Chongjing's words, he covered his hands to keep warm.

"Commander Lu, the capital..." The deputy general immediately shut up when he saw that there was someone beside Lu Wenyu.

Lu Wenyu probably guessed what was going on. He patted Zhang Chongjing with his hand, told him to "have a good rest", and then followed the deputy general out of the tent.

"What happened in the capital?" Lu Wenyu asked softly after walking a little further away.

"Sir Lu, there is a letter from Sir Lu in the capital." The deputy general respectfully held up the thin envelope.

After receiving the letter, Lu Wenyu did not rush to open it, but said lightly, "I know, you go back, I will pretend that you have never seen this letter."

"Thank you, Sir!" The deputy general's face was filled with joy. He didn't want to get involved in such a related thing.

Back to his own tent, Lu Wenyu made a cup of tea before opening the envelope. There was only a short sentence on it.

The food and horses are sufficient, and the thief has fallen into the trap.

A short sentence, read in the blink of an eye, put the letter on the fire, and it turned into ashes as the fire burned.

Lu Wenyu picked up the teacup with a smile on his face and blew away the tea foam.

To fight a war, you need a reason, otherwise how can you justify it?
