Chapter 9: The Strongest Among Men
When Zhong Hui entered the house to change clothes, Guan Yi and Guan Peng were discussing this unusual outsider outside the hut.
"Brother, do you say that this person named Zhonghui is suspicious. He saved our lives, but I'm afraid he had other intentions. Guan Peng offered his brother his own opinion of this strange person.
Guan Yi thought for a while, and said to Guan Peng: "I look at his words and deeds, there is no pretentiousness, it doesn't look like it's pretending. Besides, our operation was sneaky, and no one knew about it, so there should be no problem with his identity. ”
Then I heard him say that he had come from afar, and that his clothes and appearance were very different from ours, especially his black eyes. Speaking of this, he touched his chin and thought about it, and then said, "Brother, do you think he will come from the side of the Banlun Mountain Range?" Guan Peng asked suspiciously.
Guan Yi looked at Guan Peng, then looked at Zhong Hui in the room, and said: "Half Moon Lake can only come in from my Central Chu Empire, and he is obviously not from the Central Chu Empire, not to mention that he can't even walk in Half Moon Lake, if he didn't come from the side of the Half Wheel Mountain Range, I really can't think of where he would come from." ”
"Really? I've heard that for hundreds of years, the one who can pass through the Banlun Mountain Range is either a dragon among men, or a first-class powerhouse, so brother, you say, could he be the kind of legendary hero that Grandpa the priest said?" Guan Peng said with a sudden twinkle in his eyes.
"This ...... You, you, dare to mention the high priest, I see how you will be scolded after you go back this time. Guan Yi knocked her on the head, "Okay, don't mention him, let's think about how to deal with that armored tiger, this time I came out because I didn't think about it, and I lost a few lives in vain." "Speaking of which, the atmosphere becomes heavy.
"Brother, it's not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself, who would have thought that things would turn out like this. Now the urgent need is to pick Tianxin grass, now that the commander is injured, and our armor-piercing crossbow is occupied by the armored tiger, if you want to pick Tianxin grass, I am afraid it will not be easy. ”
Zhong Hui got dressed and came out, and when he saw the two of them frowning, they were whispering eagerly, and they were curious, so they walked over to understand the situation.
"What's the situation with the two of you, your brows are tightened, what kind of problem are you encountering?"
"Oh, it's Warrior Zhong, you have changed your clothes so quickly? Guan looked at Zhong Hui one by one and said with a smile.
"Brother Guan, don't call me a warrior, it's quite awkward, seeing that Brother Guan is older than me, just call me Zhonghui. Zhong Hui thought in his mind, first set up a closer, and get closer to the relationship, so that it would be logical to help them next.
"Haha, okay, then let's do it, I'll call you Brother Zhong, it seems natural. Just now, the two of us were discussing the matter of collecting medicine, and we couldn't think of a way for a while, which made Brother Zhong smile. ”
Guan Peng next to him laughed directly when he heard Zhong Hui say this.
"Hehe, you are still the first person who dares to call my brother a brother, I am quite convinced of you. ”
Zhong Hui was not happy when he heard this, who is not a younger brother? You are allowed to disguise yourself as a man as a younger brother, and I am not allowed to be a younger brother? I originally wanted to refute him, but after thinking about it, it was important to do the right thing first, and directly give her a look that I understood.
Turning his head and asking Guan Yi, "Brother Guan said that he would negotiate and collect medicine, I don't know if he can tell me about it, and there are many people who think of a way, in case I happen to have a good opinion." ”
This is the second time that Zhong Hui has proposed to assist Guan Yi, Guan Yi wants to have one more person and one more opinion, and Zhong Hui has no bad intentions, so he will tell Zhong Hui all the situation.
"Brother Zhong, since this is the case, I will tell you directly, this time I came out to collect medicine to treat my illness. A year ago, I received news that there was a Tianxin grass on the edge of the cliff of Half Moon Lake, and this grass was about to grow recently. ”
After a pause, he continued: "Who knew that there was a hook snake hidden by the lake, this hook snake is fierce, but I was prepared for it, and everyone worked together to deal with this hook snake." Unexpectedly, there was actually an armored tiger, and I basically didn't expect that there would be two fierce beasts staying by the lake. ”
Speaking of this, Guan Yi sighed, and then said: Encountering these two fierce beasts, I lost several guards in vain, these people died because of me, Brother Zhong just saved me again, I don't want you to be in danger again. However, if Brother Zhong has any good opinions, please let me know, and I will thank you very much. ”
Zhong Hui listened to Guan Yi's words, waved his hand, and said to Guan Yi: "What did Brother Guan say, since I treat you as a brother, that brother is in trouble, how can I sit idly by, you are doing this favor, I helped, you don't want to talk to me about any thanks, this is what I should do brother." After speaking, Zhong Hui patted Guan Yi on the shoulder.
At this beat, Guan Yi and Guan Peng and all the guards were stunned.
Zhong Hui saw that the atmosphere was more difficult, withdrew his hand, touched his nose, and changed the topic.
"It turns out that the tiger's name is armored tiger, and I still don't know what it's called, hehe. By the way, Brother Guan, if I say that I have a way to lure that armored tiger away, how long will it take you to pick the Tianxin Grass. ”
Guan Peng, who was originally in shock, heard Zhong Hui's words and said in disbelief: "Really, do you really have a way to lure Kaihu away?"
Guan Yi glanced at Guan Peng, who immediately covered his mouth with his hand. Then Guan Yi said to Zhong Hui: "If Brother Zhong can lure the armor tiger away, it will only take half a quarter of an hour, but it will only be ......."
"It's just what? Is there something wrong?" Looking at Guan Yi, Zhong Hui was deeply afraid that something would go wrong with him.
"I'm just afraid that Brother Zhong's life is at risk, if it is for Guan's sake, and Brother Zhong loses his life, this makes Guan feel unbearable. ”
Hearing Guan Yi say this, Zhong Hui was moved, although he decided to help them for some purpose, but it was definitely impossible to say that there was no risk. At this time, he could hear a word of concern for him, which warmed his heart, and it seemed that this friend was not in vain.
So he patted his chest and said: "You can rest assured, I can definitely guarantee my safety, but you also have to be prepared for both, and I don't dare to guarantee that you will win, in case you encounter a special situation, you must know how to run as soon as possible." ”
"Brother Zhong, please rest assured, we will be measured, when it comes to you, Brother Zhong, you must put your life first, you can't do anything, we can think of other ways. Guan heard Zhong Hui's assurances one by one, although he was a little worried, but the matter has come to this point, as long as he hopes that Zhong Hui is safe and sound.
