"It's sold, it's been sold, it's a freshly baked meat bun, a fragrant and soft meat bun......"

In the distance on the street of a shop outside the stall, the shopkeeper shouted to solicit customers, and the aroma aroused the hunger in the belly of the withered sheep, causing him to stop involuntarily. ※※

Swallowing his saliva, the withered sheep subconsciously stretched out his hand to his waist, and then his face was stunned.

Only then did he remember that the one who met by chance and rescued his own sister, asked the maid to bandage his wounds and change into clean clothes, and if nothing else, his money bag, which still had a few taels of loose silver, was likely to fall into the room of the Donggong Mansion......

Walked in too much hurry......

Raising his hand and holding his five fingers, he gently tapped his forehead, and the withered sheep sighed helplessly, and glanced at the steaming steamed buns that had just come out of the oven with nostalgia, endured the hunger in his stomach, and walked towards the far side of the street.

If I knew this, I really shouldn't have rushed out so much......

No, no, no, the Liangqiu family in Donggong Mansion is his enemy who is different from Dai Tian, even if he starves to death, he can't eat the things in his mansion, as for the previous meal......

Well, Sister Yiyi is her own sister if nothing goes wrong, let's ......

Damn Liang Qiugan, he actually gave his sister a subordinate name like [Yiyi]......

With hatred for the Liangqiu family in his heart, the withered sheep came to the inn of the joint, ignored the greeting of the shopkeeper, walked up the stairs, came to the door of the room on the second floor, raised his right hand, and knocked on the door with the tips of his index and middle fingers.

"Tuk tuk, tuk tuk ......"

The knock on the door is three long and two short, which means [three long and two short], which is the code agreed upon by the withered sheep and their companions, and it is also a faint self-deprecation for their trip to Jijing.

When the first knock sounded. There were some unusual movements in the room, even mixed with a few sharp blades sheathing, and the hostility was quite heavy, but when the withered sheep finished the code, the hostility disappeared, and a familiar voice came from the house.

"Withered sheep? - Heh, you're the only one who can knock on the code instead of pushing the door in...... Come on in! ”

The withered sheep knew that it was Wei Xuan's voice. They are the alternate captain of this team of six gods.

Oh, no, it should be said that it was the captain of the other eight, after all, the withered sheep had successfully killed Geng Nan, a traitor to the Taiping Army and the former Tianshu God General. Leap to become the new Tianshu Divine General, and the group of companions who still have the title of alternate Divine General, are no longer the same status.

Pushing the door and walking in, glancing at the five companions in the house, the withered sheep frowned slightly, and asked, "Why are there only five of you?" What about Wei Hu, Ah Xun, and Xiao Min? ”

"After you left two days ago. Wei Hu's three guys also left......" As he spoke, Wei Xuan glanced up and down at the withered sheep, and he felt that the tone of the withered sheep at the moment was a little more arrogant than before. He tentatively asked, "Did you get it?" ”

"Humph!" The withered sheep snorted proudly, after all, although the nine of them were companions who supported each other, they were also competitors. Now that he has killed Geng Nan, it is inevitable that he wants to show off in front of his companions. In the final analysis, he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, at the age of being strong and saving face.

"Really...... Really successful? Wei Xuan was taken aback, looking at the withered sheep with a shocked face, and the other four people also surrounded him and asked what had happened.

With a bit of arrogance, the withered sheep briefly explained the incident to his companions, but omitted the fact that he was rescued by his sister when he was seriously injured, and only said that he finally escaped the pursuit of the Jinling people and the Dongling people, first, he didn't want his sister Yiyi's current life to have any bad changes because of his arrival; Second, as the new Tianshu Divine General, he was chased around by dozens of assassins like lost dogs, and this kind of thing is really cheap.

"Where's the jade plate?" Wei Crepe asked the question that the five of them wanted to ask the most.

"This ......" glanced at Wei Xuan and the others, who were a little puzzled, and said calmly, "Such a very important thing is naturally hidden in the place where I stayed, is it possible that I still run around the street?" ——The city is full of the eyes of the two groups of assassins from Jinling and Dongling, in case the news leaks, none of the nine of us will want to leave Jijing alive! ”

When he said this, the withered sheep felt a little weak in his heart, after all, the jade plate of the Tianshu Divine General that he had seized was now in the hands of his own sister, and it was still a question of whether he could take it back or not, although that sister had said that she would return it to him when he was healed.

Even if it is just an ordinary life-saving benefactor, it is impossible for the withered sheep, who has always had clear grievances, to ask about the whereabouts of Yupai, not to mention that the woman who saved him is still his own sister.

If he can't persuade him in person, the withered sheep can only find a way to steal the jade card back when his sister is not paying attention.

"I see...... Well, be careful! - No wonder you didn't even carry a weapon......" Wei Xuan nodded when he heard this, believing the explanation of the withered sheep, after all, the withered sheep would not lie and deceive him on such a key matter, it was no different from lying about the merits, once it was found out, the punishment was quite severe.

"Uh-huh...... Not? Weapons? Nodding in response to Wei Xuan's words, the withered sheep suddenly felt that something was wrong, because he realized that he had left the sword he was carrying with him also in the Donggong Mansion.

No, it should be said that his sword was hidden by his own sister somewhere......

Worst......

The horns of the withered sheep's forehead gradually oozed a little cold sweat, you must know that the jade plate of the Tianshu God General fell into the hands of that sister, after all, in his opinion, his sister didn't know anything about the Taiping Army, but the sword ......

Oh no, that sword is engraved with the word [ram], if it is seen by my sister......

"What's wrong?" Wei Xuan asked suspiciously.

"Huh? No...... It's nothing," barely suppressed a little uneasiness in his heart, and the withered sheep diverted the topic and asked, "Speaking of which, is there any news about the?" The in his mouth was undoubtedly referring to his companion Wei Hu, who had a very poor relationship with him, after all, Wei Hu had a dark complexion.

Wei Xuan smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "There is no news for the time being......

"It can't be slaughtered, right?" There was a malicious smile on the dead sheep's face, but there was a little worry in his eyes.

Perhaps seeing the inconsistency of the withered sheep's heart, Wei Xuan didn't care about his verbal curse on his companions. said with a smile, "Among the nine of us, you and Wei Hu are the most outstanding in martial arts, so there shouldn't be any difference...... Anyway, there is still one day in the three-day period, so let's wait......"

The three-day period in his mouth refers to the things agreed upon among the nine of them, and no matter what they do outside, when the three-day period is up, they must return to the place where they meet with the rest of their companions. In other words, if Wei Hu has not returned after the three-day deadline expires, it means that something has happened, and the rest of the people have to follow the agreement, if they can't be rescued. It was to be put on the [killed] list and reported to the top brass of the Taiping Army.

However, only two days have passed now, so Wei Xuan, Dry Yang and others are not in a hurry, where did they think that Wei Hu's three guys who had mixed into the Jizhou soldiers and planned to assassinate Fei Guo during the exercise were quite unlucky to bump into Liang Qiuwu, the highest armed force in the entire Jijing, and ended up with two dead and one wounded.

"Hmm......" Hearing what Wei Xuan said, the withered sheep nodded. Then, as if thinking of something, he said with a chuckle in a somewhat provocative tone. "If that also succeeds, there will only be one place left, and five people will share one spot, tsk......"

It seems that he heard the meaning of the withered sheep deliberately stirring up the relationship between everyone. Wei Crepe smiled slightly, but he didn't break it. said lightly, "Will the Heavenly Power God General Ji Hong?" ——I have also gone out to inquire in the past two days, and now Ji Hong's traitor has taken refuge in the court of the Zhou State, and the official is still in the Ministry of Officials...... I'm afraid it will take a little more effort to get rid of this person......"

"Do you want my help?" The withered sheep said with a bit of provocation.

"No need!" Wei Xuan categorically resigned.

He knew very well that if what the withered sheep said was true, and he had killed the original Tianshu Divine General Geng Nan and became the new Tianshu Divine General, then the withered sheep would lose the right of the other two Taiping Army traitors to take action, let alone help his companions, because this was not allowed by the rules.

If it was really just to eradicate Geng Nan, Fei Guo, and Ji Hong, the three traitors of the Taiping Army, their third-generation coach Chen Bei could easily solve it by himself, so why would they need these juniors to take risks?

This is a test, a test to test whether these candidates of the gods are qualified to become the six gods, how can they borrow manpower?

In other words, the withered sheep are just taking advantage of their tongues, even if they have the heart to help them, it is not allowed by the Taiping army.

"Okay, I'll go first!" The withered sheep stood up and walked towards the outside of the house, he was in a hurry to rush back to the Donggong Mansion, after all, if his own sister noticed the [ram] number on the sword, and then thought of the [ram pei] spiritual position outside the small ancestral hall in the backyard of the Donggong mansion where she had worshiped for more than ten years, it was very likely that he would notice something, and at the moment, the withered sheep was not ready to recognize his sister, after all, this sister, but he had lived more than ten years heartlessly in the enemy Liangqiu's house like a thief, and he really cared about this in his heart.

"Withered ...... Lord Tianshu, are you planning to settle down elsewhere? - So, if anything, how can I notify you? Seeing that the withered sheep got up to leave, Wei Xuan hurriedly asked.

Seeing that the familiar companion changed his mouth to call himself by an honorific title, the withered sheep was stunned, and then his face showed a little smugness, with a little joy, and pretended to be calm and said, "Ben Shuai has his own place to stay, if there is anything, Ben Shuai will take the initiative to contact you and others, at the latest three days!" ”

Because the six gods are the commanders of the major affairs of the governor of the Taiping Army, therefore, the withered sheep is qualified to call himself [Ben Shuai].

"Where is Lord Tianshu?" When questioning, Wei Xuan curiously looked at the expensive set of civilian clothes on the withered sheep.

You must know that what the withered sheep is wearing at the moment is the clothes that Yi Yi once prepared for Xie An, the aunt of the Donggong Mansion, although it is not as good as some wealthy families in Jijing City, but it is not difficult to see that this is not an ordinary person's thing, so it is no wonder that Wei Xuan is puzzled.

"You don't have to ask about that...... That's it! With a simple drop, the withered sheep turned around and left the house, where did he dare to reveal the truth to Wei Xuan.

Bidding farewell to Wei Xuan and the other five companions, the withered sheep returned to the Donggong Mansion along the old road, walked into the alley on the side of the mansion, saw that there was no one around, turned over the wall, and came to the room where he was boarding.

To the surprise of the withered sheep, his own sister was somehow in his room, sitting at the table, looking down and frowning and thinking about something.

And on the table next to her, there are several dishes and a bowl of rice, if nothing else. It was obviously for the withered sheep.

What to do? Would you like to say hello?

Speaking of which, at first, after learning that it was this woman named Yiyi who saved him, Yiyi easily called out the title of [sister], but after he realized that this woman was his own sister who had been separated for more than ten years, the [sister] voice of the withered sheep could not be called.

"Ahem......" After thinking for a while, the withered sheep coughed lightly.

At this moment, Yi Yi was looking down for some reason in contemplation, and raised his head when he heard the words. With a somewhat intriguing look in his eyes, he looked the withered sheep up and down a few times, making the latter feel uncomfortable, as if everything had been seen through by the sister in front of him.

"With such a serious injury, it is not good to recuperate. Where did you go? With her red lips lightly furled, Yi Yi asked calmly, not inaudible in the slightest fluctuation in her words.

"I ...... I just walked around the house......"

"Really? Where? Yi Yi asked lightly, looking at the withered sheep with a pair of beautiful eyes, and the withered sheep couldn't help but feel a little weak.

After a stalemate for a while, the withered sheep couldn't bear the questioning gaze, and lowered his head and said weakly. "I ...... I said hello to my companion......"

Hearing this, a hint of elusiveness flashed in Yiyi's eyes, and he sighed slightly, but he didn't ask any further, and reached out and patted the table gently. Said gently, "Sit down and eat first......

"Oh......" Withered Sheep walked over to the stool across from Yi and sat down, gobbling it up. After all, he was indeed hungry.

During the meal, the withered sheep secretly looked at the sister in front of him from time to time. For he vaguely felt that the woman seemed to have sensed something, and treated him in a tone and attitude that was similar to that of the morning.

Could it be that she has realized that she is her own brother?

With the purpose of temptation, the withered sheep whispered, "Sister......

Yi Yi's delicate body trembled slightly when she heard this, glanced at the withered sheep, and said lightly, "Is the food unpalatable?" ”

"Uh, it's not ......" Withered Sheep subconsciously shook his head.

"That's good......"

"......" secretly glanced at Yiyi, and the withered sheep suddenly woke up, and his temptation was quietly opened by the woman in front of him.

How shrewd......

The withered sheep muttered to himself in his heart.

As if noticing the withered sheep's gaze, Yi Yi asked calmly, "Is there anything you want to say?" ”

"Huh? No, there is no ......" Withered Sheep quickly shook his head.

"Don't have anything to say? The concubine has something to ask you......" Halfway through speaking, a pair of beautiful eyes looked directly at the withered sheep, and Yi Yi said calmly, "What does the Tianshu on that jade plate represent?" ”

Seeing Yiyi's calm expression, the withered sheep chuckled in his heart, and he realized that the woman in front of him was very likely to be aware of it.

"Isn't it convenient to answer?" Seeing that the withered sheep did not speak for a long time, Yi Yi asked calmly.

"......" The withered sheep was silent, bowing his head and eating.

"Alas......" With a long sigh, Yi Yi stood up and walked outside the house, whispering softly, "Rest well, with injuries, don't run around......" Her words were full of inexplicable tenderness.

Seeing Yi Yi walk to the door, the withered sheep gritted his teeth and said vaguely, "Hmm, sister...... Can you give it back to me? The jade plaque...... And also...... The sword ......"

Hearing this, Yi Yi stopped, turned her head to look at the withered sheep, and said calmly, "Have a good rest......" After speaking, she turned and left.

Hearing this, the withered sheep chuckled in his heart, because he realized that the jade plate representing the Heavenly Pivot Divine General, and the sword engraved with the word [ram], he was going to come back......

"Now...... What a hassle! Seeing Yi Yi walk out of the house, the figure disappeared into the side of the corridor, the withered sheep raised his right hand and scratched his head with his fingers, and the pride in his heart when he showed off in front of Wei Xuan was gone at this moment.

Shh I was going to show off in front of Wei Hu's guy......

Looking at the food on the table in front of him, the withered sheep turned his depression into food, and devoured it for a while.

How could he have thought that the Wei Hu he thought of in his heart was many times worse than him at the moment, not to mention eating well, and even whether he could live or not was a problem.

——At the same time, the handsome tent of the Liangqiu Military Barracks on the Bamboo Forest Slope——

In the huge handsome tent, Xie An and the others frowned and looked at the three uninvited guests in the center of the tent who were dressed as Jizhou soldiers.

Except for one of them, who was tightly tied with ropes, the other two lay on the ground and breathed all their breath, in fact, it should only be called two corpses.

"No......" Jin Ling'er, who was squatting in front of the two corpses, shook her head, stood up and whispered to Xie An, "Husband, these two are dead......

Aren't you dead?

Half of a bone was shattered, and a half of the abdomen was pierced by a spear, and it was strange that it could be saved alive with such a big opening......

The people in the tent will murmur to themselves.

"Is it just a living mouth?" Xie An frowned slightly.

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Liang Qiu Wu was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, and said in a low voice, "An, I ......"

Seeing that Liang Qiu Wu seemed to have misunderstood, Xie An waved his hand with a chuckle, and said, "It's not a strange dance for a husband, if it's not for a dance, a husband will damage a general this time......"

Liang Qiuwu couldn't hide the joy on his face when he heard this, and even Fei Guo, who was praised by Xie An as a [general], also flashed a little joy in his eyes.

Getting more and more talkative......

Seeing Xie An's simple words and praise Liang Qiuwu and Fei Guo at the same time, the eldest grandson Xiangyu secretly discussed with himself.

"But then again, there is only one living mouth left, and it's really hard to torture it......" As he spoke, Xie An frowned and glanced at the sturdy living mouth that was tied up by ropes, and gestured to Gou Gong with his eyes.

Gou Gong understood, lifted a bucket of cold water that had been prepared next to him, and splashed it on the Jizhou soldier who was still alive.

Splashed with this bucket of cold water, the Jizhou soldier woke up slowly, looking at this person's dark complexion, who was Wei Hu, who was not one of the eight companions of the withered sheep?

With a little confusion on his face after waking up, Wei Hu looked around with a blank expression, and muttered unconfidently, "I...... Still alive? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a sneer.

"Ah, you're still alive...... However, the next moment is not certain! ”
