In the middle of June, Hanzhong was already a lot hotter, and in the camp, the soldiers who came and went on patrol had already taken off their stuffy and thick fat jackets, and turned to wear cool and convenient armor.

Lu Xingyun had a straw in his mouth, squatted on the ground and looked at the line of soldiers who did not squint and left with their heads held high. He was in a state of emptiness, and someone slapped him behind him, his body tightened, and the whole person almost leaned forward and fell to the ground.

He didn't look back to know who did the good thing, frowned, and Guo Mingtao's kind voice came into his ears behind his head: "Brother Lu, why don't you ignore Sven again?" ”

Lu Xingyun snorted twice, and said impatiently: "Look at the two of me, dressed in one outfit, how can I still look like a scholar?" He patted the dust on his legs, stood up, and looked at Guo Mingtao. The two looked at each other and almost smiled bitterly again. After staying in Zhao Ying for so long, the two of them had long been tattered and unorthodox, and the king of the rear division was always good-looking, and found two sets of clothes to change for them, but these two sets of clothes were short brown, and they wore them, not to mention the demeanor of any scholars, and they looked like "working people".

"I'm afraid that in the near future, both of me will have to be captured and filled. Hmph, can you eat the thief's food for nothing? Lu Xingyun was still the same, and he was open-mouthed, but as soon as the words fell, Guo Mingtao hurriedly covered his mouth.

I saw Guo Mingtao's nervous expression, and he looked at Zhao Yingluobing, who was not far away, and made sure that he was not heard by them, so he slowly put his hand down and whispered: "When can you close your mouth?" The word 'thief', how can we export it at will now? ”

Lu Xingyun glanced at him, and said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of, when we first came earlier, how fierce were we scolding?" The eighteenth generation of Zhao Dangshi's ancestors greeted me all over again, but I didn't see them come to hang my tongue or sew my mouth. Besides, it's not that you and I haven't heard it, and when the soldiers in the camp talk to each other, they often refer to each other with the words 'thief' and 'coward', so what's the matter? ”

Guo Mingtao shook his head and said: "You and I finally picked up a life, and it is good to be careful after all." Seeing this, he lowered his voice again, "Otherwise, how can you and I achieve our plan?" ”

When Lu Xingyun heard this, his originally nonchalant demeanor suddenly tensed, and he nodded with a serious heart: "What you said is that I was reckless." ”

Guo Mingtao stood with Lu Xingyun for a while, until he found that Luo Bing had returned, so he turned to the back of the barracks. Lu Xingyun and the other soldiers walked away and asked, "What are the results of your visit during this time?" ”

"Yes, yes, no." Guo Mingtao was serious, "You know, the guards in the camp are strict, and neither of us is allowed to go out of the barracks ten steps away at the same time." Two days ago, I took the opportunity to go to the latrine, but I hooked up with one person. ”

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Lu Xingyun glared at Guo Mingtao with disgust.

Guo Mingtao said solemnly: "The wall has ears, and I don't know why two days ago, the camp saw that we were much tighter than before, but today, it has returned to its original state." ”

Lu Xingyun thought about it and interjected: "There was a lot of movement in the first two days, I'm afraid it was the army going out, and the looseness and tightness of the guard may have something to do with it." ”

Guo Mingtao continued: "Although I contacted the man, the man seemed to be worried that I was a person sent by the battalion to tempt, so he didn't dare to say much at first. Later, I found out his toilet habits and touched him a few more times, and he slowly believed me. ”

"Who is that?" Lu Xingyun asked.

Guo Mingtao responded: "A descendant, who looks like Sven, but like us, he wears short brown." But judging by his temperament and conversation, he should have read a book. "Speaking of this, I tried to recall it, Fang Zai said, "He claimed that his surname was Yang, and he couldn't remember what the words were, anyway, he was from Huguang, and he was also coerced in by Zhao Ying." ”

"Why isn't he locked up with us?"

Guo Mingtao said helplessly: "Then he was forced by the situation, from Zhao Ying, and now he is doing things in the camp, and he can move around freely, not the two of us." ”

Lu Xingyun pouted: "It's also a soft bone." ”

Guo Mingtao sighed and said: "You can't say that, people are young and have never been out of office, unlike us, who are loyal to the monarch." Eh, there are extenuating circumstances, there are extenuating circumstances. "And I can see that he is just trying to make a compromise, people have to live after all, we have official titles, Zhao Ying still has the heart to win over, he is a lonely little Confucian, if he has a hard neck like you, I am afraid that he will be harmed early." ”

Lu Xingyun was speechless, and after a long time of self-deprecation, he seemed to say: "It is understandable that people will not be destroyed for themselves." "What did he tell you?" ”

"He's a lonely kid and he doesn't have any channels. They only talked to me about some idle things, and I listened to them, and I felt that it didn't help us much......"

Lu Xingyun smiled at this time: "Oh, it turns out that you have worked hard for the past few days, and nothing else has been gained, all to listen to him shit and fart." Speaking of this, he didn't forget to add another sarcasm, "Is his ass white, do you see it?" ”

Guo Mingtao was not annoyed, only nudged him, and said, "You listen to me." ”

"Say, you say."

"After all, this kid surnamed Yang has been in Zhao Ying for a long time, and he has some ways. According to him, all the scholars who were caught by Zhao Ying, without exception, would not be killed or rushed, just waiting for you to be unable to stand up and agree to cooperate. ”

Lu Xingyun sneered: "Then what if I can survive? ”

"Then I'll keep you in custody. According to that kid, there is an old man surnamed Tu in the camp, who was taken captive from Sichuan by Zhao Ying, and he has been locked up until now, and I am afraid that it has been more than a year. Although Zhao Ying didn't do any harm, he didn't let him leave the barracks for half a step, and he slept and ate and on weekdays, and someone was waiting to solve it. But Rao is like this, no one has spoken for a long time, there is no book to read, and he has been idle and bored for too long, and the old man Tu is also a little delirious now......"

Guo Mingtao's words were light, but to Lu Xingyun's ears, they were extremely frightening. He is an active person, he has been imprisoned by Zhao Ying for a few months, and he has begun to feel very irritable and uncomfortable, he can't imagine what kind of fate he will become if such a life is lived for a few months or even a few years. Because he was afraid of being trapped in the death camp, he would not care about the danger and actively plan a "big plan" with Guo Mingtao.

"What else did the kid say?"

Guo Mingtao leaned over at this time and said in a deep voice: "He said that it is not necessary to advance by retreating. ”

"Huh? It's ......"

"This kid knows what we'd rather not give into. The scholars who were caught in Zhao's camp either committed suicide or cooperated, and there are few ...... like the two of us who have been grinding for so long."

Lu Xingyun smiled crookedly: "I didn't think that this would become a celebrity." ”

"That kid said that he didn't want to be a thief, but the so-called 'big husband can bend and stretch', take a step back, and the sea and the sky will be wide."

"Is he trying to persuade us to follow Zhao Ying?" Lu Xingyun's face changed, staring at Guo Mingtao.

"I, I thought about it for a night last night, and I also felt that this matter was feasible...... "When they were caught by Zhao Ying, the two made an appointment to abide by the minister's festival until they died. The past is still fresh in his eyes, and when he goes back on his word, it is no wonder that Guo Mingtao is a little embarrassed.

"Hmph, you're going, you're going by yourself. People are watching the sky, and I don't want to look up when I go to see my ancestors and ancestors. Lu Xingyun was very angry in his heart, but he turned his head and thought about it, Guo Mingtao had no relationship with him and no reason, and there was no reason to force him to change his will, "The Tao is not the same, I wish Brother Guo to be in Zhaoying Cheng Peng from now on, and I hope you and I will never see each other again in the future!" ”

Lu Xingyun said very decisively, put down the cold words, and was about to leave, Guo Mingtao saw this, hurriedly grabbed his shoulder, and said hurriedly: "You listen to me!" ”

"Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, you and I will go our separate ways from now on." Lu Xingyun took his hand, his eyes as cold as winter snow.

"Alas!" Guo Mingtao sighed, "Do you think I surrendered to Zhao Dangshi in order to survive in the world?" ”

When Lu Xingyun heard this, his footsteps stopped, but he still turned his back to him.

"You and I know what Zhao Thief said before. It is well known that the two of us 'betrayed the court and sacrificed the lord of the county for wealth'. I believe that this kind of thing is done with the temperament of a thief. Things have already been stormy in the city, and we have the fate to go back, but they are only notorious and heinous people, who have made the court angry and the family to shame, and it is self-evident what will happen. The more Guo Mingtao said, the weaker his breath became, and when he said that later, maybe he felt something in his heart, and his throat choked.

Lu Xingyun also thought about these things, and also made him toss and turn and spend countless sleepless nights. When I think about it again, I feel sad and at the same time, I also feel at a loss.

"The reason why you and I have survived so far is not to survive, but to have other desires." Guo Mingtao put away his sorrow, and his tone was rarely tough, "The county lord is suffering at our hands, and everything must have a consistent." Even if you often say it, you will die, and you have to die on the way to save the county lord from the sea of suffering, and only the county lord can return our innocence! ”

If Fang Cai was just moved, when he heard the word "county lord", Lu Xingyun's tears could no longer be suppressed. After being trapped in Zhao Ying for a few months, he experienced many hardships and hardships that failed to make him cry, and at this moment, he actually touched his sad point. He didn't dare to turn around and let Guo Mingtao see his tearful appearance, because he didn't want others to see that for the sake of the county lord, he was a strong man who would cry so much.

But even if he tried his best to hide it, Guo Mingtao could still fully understand his grief, and just as he was about to go up to appease this brother who depended on him for his life, countless screams broke out outside the wall.

"The kiln has changed, the wind is tight, and the family is flooded!"

After staying in Zhao Ying for so long, Lu Xingyun and Guo Mingtao can understand some black words. At first glance, after reacting, Lu Xingyun pulled Guo Mingtao and said: "I'm afraid that there is infighting among thieves, go quickly!" ”

When there is infighting, the most dangerous thing is not the fire and the two sides, but the helpless people like them. Because the situation is chaotic, when the two sides fight, they will start to attack people who have nothing to do with them desperately, and some people will even take advantage of this opportunity to satisfy their perverted bloodthirsty desires.

The two of them crawled to the road, and at this time, the soldiers in the barracks on the left and right rushed out, and the road was full of chaotic soldiers. At a loss, I heard a loud "boom", and the outermost brick wall around the camp was pushed down from the outside. Looking over, before the dust at the gap cleared, countless soldiers with guns and knives shouted and rushed in.

Like most thieves, Zhao Ying did not have the financial resources to make uniform clothing to assemble soldiers, so it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe. The chaotic soldiers around them clashed, Guo and Lu were at a loss, and they almost knocked people down several times, seeing that there were more and more people rushing in to cut and kill on the other side of the gap, Guo Mingtao instinctively pulled up Lu Xingyun and was about to drill into the barracks.

But Lu Xingyun grabbed him and dragged him in the opposite direction. Although the barracks give people a sense of security, they hide in it, and there is no way to enter the sky and the ground, so they can only catch turtles in the urn. They had no idea what was going on, and they didn't know who was fighting whom, so they just ran away desperately, and their feet seemed to be unconscious at this point, and they were moving mechanically and automatically.

The two headless flies were scurrying around the camp, but the shouting behind them was getting louder and louder, the more panicked their hearts became, the more chaotic their steps became, and when they ran to a barracks, Guo Mingtao was angry, his feet tripped over each other, and he immediately fell to the ground on all fours. Lu Xingyun hurriedly turned around to pull him, but for a moment, he was stunned - because at this time, a woman who leaned out of the barracks to check on him was the county lord of Huaqing that he had been thinking about for a long time.

"Lord Lu...... Lord Guo, you ......" The county lord of Huaqing was quite surprised when he found the embarrassment of the two, and looked at the other side at the same time, "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Xingyun looked at the county lord of Huaqing blankly, and his mind was blank. She is black, white, fat, thin...... All these worries that had tormented him for months were all dissipated at this moment, and he didn't care about anything else, even the earth-shattering shouts of killing turned a deaf ear, and he was satisfied with just facing that beautiful face.

Guo Mingtao hurriedly got up by himself, and said eagerly: "County Lord, the thieves are on fire, the situation is critical, please take shelter with us!" As soon as the words fell, a few screams followed, and three or four feather arrows "fluttered" and nailed in front of Guo Mingtao.

Guo Mingtao's face turned pale, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the person who released the arrow on the opposite side abandoned his bow and drew his sword, and a total of five chaotic soldiers rushed over to this side.
