Chapter 120: The Cicada Catches the Praying Mantis

"I said this boat brother, why is this bridge suddenly blocked?" Zhou Yu pretended to be ignorant of the melon-eating crowd and asked a man in the crowd who looked like a man.

"I heard that it is the reason why the final of the Tenmaki Hunting Contest is about to be held. Alas, but what does this competition have to do with our people, good business is not allowed to be done, and the spacious and open road is not allowed to go. It's really an official business, what does your people feel like! ”

"Don't talk nonsense! Don't have a head? A middle-aged man next to him, who was more than ten years older than him, scolded him angrily, and the grumbling captain stuck out his tongue.

Sure enough, no matter where you are, there is a great risk in arguing about current affairs. Because the vast majority of the ruling class does not listen to criticism, especially in a man-ruled society, their method of dealing with critics is extremely simple and crude - shut you up. As for what method to use, it depends on the political wisdom of the executor.

"What's inside, Brother Boat. Inquire about something, I'm a distant relative of Wansan. The family was in trouble, so he rushed to him with his daughter-in-law, who would have thought that when he came here to catch up with such a scene, this person has many eyes, can you bother to point out where Wansan is? Zhou Yu wiped his sweat with a linen scarf and asked with a smile.

The captain looked at the young man in front of him from top to bottom, at this time, Zhou Yu had already been in tattered clothes after a night of running wild in the dark, and he had traveled a few miles of river roads, and his body was drenched all over his body, dripping along the trouser legs. Not to mention, it's really a bit like eating on the river.

"Oh, Wansan's distant relatives! Wansan, where did Wansan go? I just saw him in front of me. Brother Boat stood on tiptoe and looked at the "daughter-in-law" of this wild boy intentionally or unintentionally. It's a little strange to say that a poor boy who can't eat and even needs to run away to others can marry such a handsome daughter-in-law? If it weren't for his shit luck, it would have been...

"Not around. So I'll take you to the riverside. We usually rest there, maybe there! The captain enthusiastically pointed to the upper reaches of the river and walked over to the front.

Fei Lina felt that she had met a kind person, but Zhou Yu was not. Because this captain behaved too zealous, from the experience of previous lives, there are two kinds of overzealous strangers: one is a civilized person who grew up and lived under a social system with a perfect moral system; The other is dangerous elements with schemes. Walking behind the captain, Zhou Yu pinched Fei Lina's wrist with his hand, signaling her not to act rashly and not to talk nonsense, and he reached into his arms with his right hand and quietly grabbed the dagger.

After walking a few hundred meters, some distance from the gathered crowd and officers and soldiers, the captain kept looking back to see if anyone was coming. This action made Zhou Yu even more suspicious, it stands to reason that leading the way should be looked ahead, and turning back is at most an action to assist the conversation, looking back politely. How can there be anything like him, constantly looking into the distance, and walking faster and faster under his feet, without saying a word.

Turning a big tree, Zhou Yu patted him on the shoulder without waiting for his father-in-law to make a move.

"Big brother!"

"What for?" The voice of the man in front of him turned cold, he opened his hand to release the pole, and the other hand picked up the firewood knife at some point and turned around to chop it head. The Metropolitan Governor had already prepared, and calling him just now was nothing more than forcing him to make a move. At this time, seeing him swinging his knife and slashing, he turned to the side for a little and avoided it, and even hurriedly dragged Fei Lina behind him to protect her.

Phirina was speechless by the sudden change, just a minute ago she thought she had met a good Samaritan, but why did the story go in the opposite direction in an instant?

"Little thief, you can't blame anyone else today, blame your woman for being too good-looking. Accompany your kid that flowers are inserted in cow dung, it is better to follow the uncle to be comfortable! After that, the man was fierce, threw off his coat, blew a whistle, and four or five strong men sprang out from under the tree, surrounding Zhou Yu and Fei Lina.

Zhou Yu lowered his head and sighed.

"Philena, did you see that?" He didn't want Felena to miss such a vivid social practice lesson.

"Hmm!" The girl hid behind him, clinging to his back.

"If someone else has a plan against you, whether it is your wealth, beauty or power, the first means he chooses must be to rob you!"

"But why?" Chromina muttered to herself.

"Because you're not strong, you look weak. Snatching is the simplest and most brutal, time-saving and labor-saving way! While! Correct! Before the two words were finished, Zhou Yu took the lead in attacking, he jumped out like an ape, hit the jaw of the nearest person with a punch, and slammed his shoulders into the man's chest with the help of the impact, knocking the man out sideways, the blood pulled out a straight line in the air, and fell to the ground with a bang, and he couldn't get up.

The thieves didn't expect that the outnumbered kid would actually strike first, and he made an extraordinary move, and seemed to have some ability. So one by one they didn't dare to be careless, and surrounded him from four directions.

Zhou Yu pulled Fei Lina behind him, it is not impossible to fight four with one, but Fei Lin must not fall into the hands of thieves, otherwise it will be difficult to let go of the mouse trap at that time. He glanced back, and was pleasantly surprised to see that the girl was also holding the golden dagger he had seen before, and looked around vigilantly.

As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, but in the opinion of Zhou Yu, who is proficient in mastering and using modern fighting techniques, it is not difficult to take care of these grass cowards. He didn't wait for any time, the best time was one word - fast.

A dagger shot out of his hand like lightning, and before he could dodge the thief on the opposite side, he was struck in the chest, and the dagger entered without a handle, and fell straight backwards. Seeing him make a move, the other three slashed the machete from the left and right directions at the same time, but Zhou Yu pulled Fei Lina to turn around and dodge back lightly, which was worthy of dodging a few knives. The princess saw that the man under her feet had been stabbed in the chest, his limbs were still twitching, and he was spitting blood in his mouth, and she trembled with fright and covered her eyes.

"What are you afraid of!" Zhou Yu changed his hand to protect her, and snatched the golden dagger in her hand. In my hands it is a murder weapon, and in your hand it can only be an ornament. The Governor was thinking in his heart that today's scene was not necessarily a bad thing for Felena, and she did not lack the offering of goodness, but she lacked the kind of recognition of unscrupulousness, and even hatred of evil.

Seeing that he had the ability to fly knives in one hand, the three thieves did not dare to be careless, and their six eyes stared at his right hand holding the knife. Suddenly, Zhou Yu pretended to throw a knife and shot, and the three thieves dodged to both sides, who knew that this was a false move of the Grand Duke, he took the opportunity to bend down and pick up the penny rod, and hit the two thieves in the ears of the two thieves with a snap, and the two of them were dizzy and unsteady on their feet.

Not allowing the enemy to have the slightest chance to breathe, Zhou Yu's penny rod stabbed left and right, flew up and down, and repeatedly hit the cheeks, throats, and armpits of the three people, so that they threw away the firewood knives in their hands and raised their hands to protect their heads. How could the Metropolitan Governor allow them to stop it, turn it into a thorn, and stab the three people with three knocks.

This trick is indeed enough yin damage, and the three thieves hurriedly bent down to protect their crotches in pain, and their postures are surprisingly consistent. Zhou Yu took a stride to the right front, swept over with a fierce sword, and slammed across the door of the three people in the middle. The pain of his feet was still jumping below, and his face was hit hard again, and the three of them were slapped to the ground in unison, two of their front teeth had been knocked out, and they were rolling in pain, and one was spitting blood and rubbing his eyes.

Seeing that Silano made a move and solved four or five thieves in minutes, Phirina wanted to cheer but couldn't be happy. Is this the current ecological environment of Drunken Flower City? Robbery, violence, injustice, and disorder pervade every corner. And none of this is known in the royal city high above.

Zhou Yu didn't leave them any chance, one more mouth would be more risky. He carried the dagger and wiped his hair on the throat of every strong man like a sheep. To Philena, the gesture was as simple as wiping a knife on a rag after cutting a watermelon, but then the blood gushed out, and in an instant, it flowed to the ground, meandered into a rushing river, and disappeared.

The four big men were still fierce and vicious just now, but at this time, their eyes were frightened, they couldn't shout, they couldn't make a sound, they covered their throats with their hands, blood spurted out from their fingers, and their heels shook violently like an electric shock.

Within three minutes, he lay straight and motionless.

"Do you have to kill someone?" Fei Lina was expressionless, took the dagger that Zhou Yu handed back to her, and stared blankly at the sharp tip of the blade.

"Not necessarily. It's okay not to kill, and the result is that the two of us are killed. Zhou Yu knew that she had never been so close to death, and she couldn't accept it for a while. What's more, for the princess who has always been high, it is the first time she has encountered a crime of passion to kill for the sake of food. Compared to Sima's dirty manipulation behind the scenes, this kind of gore comes more directly.

With this experience, Zhou Yu knew that he had to be more careful. He took off his coat and covered it over Philena, covering her angry figure. Whether she wanted to or not, she dug two handfuls of mud from the ditch and rubbed them on her flowery face. Well, a princess who captivated the country and the city instantly made him dress up as a village girl.

"Well, it's much better now. No one will beat your mind anymore. ”

"It's all your fault, how can you see people here?" Philena covered her face with her hands, not daring to raise her head.

What is there about this that can't be seen? Zhou Yu thought to himself, sure enough, since ancient times, how many people have died for the sake of Hongyan? Let's talk about Philena, first there are Ledo, Lehar, Solvay and son, then there are the old king, dozens of sword and axe men, a group of monks, and now a few grass scoundrels.

All of this stems from Philena's beauty, from the covetousness of the water king Li for her, and from the competition for power derived from this coveting. With power, there is everything you want. Xiu Se is just a delicious food.

pulled the "village girl", inquired a few more people, and finally found Wansan who was mending the net on the bank of the river.

"Brother Wansan?" Zhou Yu pulled Fei Lina over. Wan San stared at the visitor for a long time and didn't remember where he had seen it.

"Brother Wan forgot? He wears a silver mask under the original line. Zhou Yu gestured on his face.

"Oh, oh, it's you, guest! Oops, this one shows his true face, so that the little old man doesn't dare to admit it. Come, come, sit on board! Wansan is still so hospitable, but Zhou Yu thought in his heart that it was probably because he had the gold sand in place last time.

"Brother Wansan, there is a reason for this search, and I hope that Brother Tai can help me if I have a reluctant request!" Zhou Yu said, took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Wan San. It was a property he had instructed Bamble to buy in the City of Drunken Flowers, which was intended to be used as an underground intelligence station for cross-linking.

"What are you talking about? Wansan I'm a rough person, although I don't have any skills, but I still understand the truth. As long as you, a great benefactor, open your mouth, you can do it with a small order. You're underestimating! With that, Mansan shoved the key back, even though he knew it was worth a lot.

Philena was confused when she heard why Xilannu had become a savior of her father-in-law. However, what she and Zhou Yu didn't know was that without the dozens of extra grains of gold sand from the Metropolitan Governor, Wansan's old lady on the sickbed would have been out of medicine and would not have survived today. Not what a benefactor is.

"Then you're welcome, Wansan. I want to cross the river and go into the city. ”

"What? Crossing? Right now? Manzo showed an incredulous expression.

"yes, is there any way?"

"Benefactor, tell you the truth, you can dispel this thought. If you look at the bridge and the river, there are officers and soldiers inside and out. Not even a bird can fly past a bird, let alone a human. Guest officer, I can help with everything else, but this one can't help. Wan San sighed and shook his head.

Zhou Yu stopped talking, he knew in his heart that what Wan San said was not necessary, even if a civilian died to rush this vigilance, there would only be one death, and there would be no second result. The sword has no eyes, and he has a life to go, but the old mother and the child who are waiting to be fed at home have completely lost their support. The Metropolitan Governor understands the situation of middle-aged people very well, and he can't afford to live, but he can't afford to die.

Just as he was at a loss, a noise was heard in the distance. A group of soldiers surrounded the dusty carriages and stopped behind the crowd. The general who took the lead waved the whip in his hand whirring, and the onlookers were indifferent.

The Metropolitan Governor wondered why the people gathered here were not afraid of the officers and soldiers behind them. Looking closely, he understood why. It turned out that these people were not the officers and soldiers of Drunken Flower City, and the clothes on their bodies were very different. No matter how the people of Drunken Flower City say it, they are also eaten by the roots of the imperial city, how can you make these Jingyouzi afraid of the police cars of Shaanxi O and Lu O?

Looking closely at the leading general riding a tall horse, Zhou Yu burst out laughing. Nima, stepping on the iron shoes and finding nowhere to get it, it takes no effort!

Immediately, the man turned out to be Kong Jia.

Kong Jia, the third place in the final of the Southern Continent, the second place Ledo is dead, and the first place is not himself!
