Chapter Seventy-Five: Benzoin
On the outskirts of Yongcheng, Fu Guodong and Qiu Gubo stood side by side, watching Xionghuang and Kushen take Rong Pingye and Chi Leichen to the side of the road.
"Get on your knees." Xionghuang said coldly.
Chi Leichen stood there, looked sideways at Rong Pingye, and said in a low voice, "Master, I'm sorry, I thought this would save our lives." ”
Rong Pingye closed his eyes and didn't speak, and after Xionghuang ordered them to "kneel" again, he gritted his teeth and said: "I don't want to die on my knees, I am the face of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the wide-eyed king Rong Pingye ......."
Before he finished speaking, a gunshot rang out behind him, Rong Pingye was shocked, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that Chi Leichen had been shot in his back and fell on the side of the road, his eyes widened and he didn't bat at death.
And the person who shot was Fu Guodong.
Fu Guodong pulled out the dagger from Qiu Gubo's waist, raised his hand and cut the rope on Rong Pingye's body: "Get out." ”
Rong Pingye looked at Fu Guodong puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”
Fu Guodong returned the dagger to Qiu Gubo beside him: "Damn it, get out." ”
Rong Pingye gritted his teeth and said, "Don't expect me to repay the favor in the future." ”
Fu Guodong sneered: "You are a vain appearance, where is there benevolence, righteousness and kindness in your heart, get out." ”
When Rong Pingye turned around to leave, Fu Guodong said again: "Stop!" ”
Rong Pingye turned around and sneered: "Repentance? ”
Fu Guodong pointed to the horse next to him: "Ride a horse and roll, roll faster, otherwise I will really regret it." ”
Rong Pingye hesitated, but finally turned over and got on the horse, and after glancing at Fu Guodong, he patted the horse and galloped away.
After Rong Pingye rode away, Qiu Gubo asked, "Why did you kill Chi Lichen but let Rong Pingye go?" It stands to reason that he is the biggest trouble, right? ”
Fu Guodong said lightly: "Chi Leichen is a talent, but in order to save his life, even the master was betrayed, everyone understands the truth of being a master for one day and a father for life, this kind of person staying is a scourge, and it doesn't matter if Rong Pingye dies or not, he has real skills, but he is definitely not as powerful as he boasts, and besides, even if he returns to his master alive, it is a dead end." ”
Qiu Gubo thought for a while and asked, "Is his master really Chen Bozhong?" ”
"He's going south." Fu Guodong looked into the distance, "Fenghua is in the south, and Fenghua has Chen Bozhong, and besides, there is now a place around him, like a tiger with wings." ”
Qiu Gubo hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”
Fu Guodong turned around and walked towards the city: "Eight-armed Arhat Hu Shen, Tang Anshu's master." ”
Xionghuang and Sophora Sophora also turned to leave, leaving Qiu Gubo standing alone, suddenly feeling that the autumn wind had become so biting for some reason.

In the pavilion of the Governor's Mansion, Yansun sat there, and Mint and Xin Guangyun sat on one side.
Mint turned his head to look at Sengliko on the roof, and then asked, "Big brother, why are you hiding it from me?" ”
Xin Guangyun accosted him beside him: "The reason has already been said by the eldest brother and the second brother before, and there is no need to repeat it." ”
Mint frowned and looked at Xin Guangyun: "You are the one-legged gold?" ”
Xin Guangyun smiled: "You still call me Xin Guangyun, I will use this identity for a long time." ”
Mint pointed at Xin Guangyun and asked Yansun again: "Big brother, why didn't I see him when I was in prison?" ”
Yansun finally spoke: "In the seven-person squad of the trenches, the scout in charge of intelligence spying is only allowed to be the captain in his true face, that is, I know that not only you, but no one else has seen the true appearance of the one-legged gold. ”
Xin Guangyun smiled and said, "I'll tell you what I was supposed to be, I've almost forgotten what I was like." ”
Mint looked at the smile on Xin Guangyun's face and felt a little sick to his stomach.
After being silent for a long time, Mint asked again: "Then you have to tell me, what deal did you make between you and Fu Guodong?" ”
Yansun looked at Xin Guangyun, Xin Guangyun nodded, it was obvious that he was asking for Xin Guangyun's opinion, that is, the one-legged gold.
Yan Sun said: "There is no real deal between us, because if we act according to Sun San's plan, we will still be led by Sun San's nose in the end, so as long as Fu Guodong does not die, he is still the master of Yongcheng, and there is room to maneuver with Sun San." ”
Mint hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "However, I don't think Sun San is a bad person. ”
Yansun frowned: "Mint, if people only distinguish between good and bad, the world will not be so chaotic." ”
Mint raised his eyes and asked, "It doesn't need to be good or bad, so what's the use?" ”
Xin Guangyun smiled and said: "Things gather by like, people are divided by groups, like-minded people go hand in hand, on the contrary, different ways do not conspire with each other." ”
Mint looked at Xin Guangyun as if he didn't understand, and Xin Guangyun still had that smile on his face.
It's a smirk, a disgusting smirk, and Mint bows her head.

When Qiu Gubo walked into the Osmanthus House of the Eight Kings, Shen Qingmeng had just turned off the telegraph.
"Calling from Hell?" At the same time that Qiu Gubo took off his coat, Shen Qingmeng stepped forward to take it.
Shen Qingmeng turned around and hung up his coat and said, "Tang Anshu asked you to ask for help." ”
Qiu Gubo was stunned when he heard this: "Asking for help? ”
Shen Qingmeng walked to the table and picked up the translated message: "It's all on it, see for yourself, I'm a little hungry, I'll go to the kitchen to see, what do you want to eat?" ”
Qiu Gubo looked at the message and sat down: "Is there any wine?" ”
Shen Qingmeng smiled: "Of course, this is the Eight Kings Courtyard, and there is everything. ”
Qiu Gubo remembered something at this time, and looked up at Shen Qingmeng: "Sister Shen, do you want to move out?" I can arrange other accommodation for you. ”
Shen Qingmeng was slightly stunned, and then asked, "Move to your house?" ”
Qiu Gubo said, although he hoped that way, but his mother would definitely turn the world upside down at home, after all, Shen Qingmeng's identity ......
Shen Qingmeng stood against the door: "Do you think that I am already good, and it is very inconvenient for you to go in and out every day?" ”
Qiu Gubo's heart trembled, and he immediately shook his head: "No." ”
Shen Qingmeng smiled, turned around and left, and asked as he walked, "What kind of wine do you drink?" Wine or our own wine? ”
Qiu Gubo said: "Sweet wine will do." ”
Shen Qingmeng's laughter came from outside: "Sure enough, it's still a child." ”
After reading the telegram, Qiu Gubo understood that Tang Anshu, who was in prison, also knew the seriousness of the matter, and he didn't know much about military affairs, and now Fu Guodong didn't have a reliable staff officer by his side, Xin Guangyun, who originally thought he was powerful, was actually just a trench scout, which was equivalent to an ornament to scare people.
It's just that who is this "one-eyed flower fox Cai Qianqing" written on the telegram?

In the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, Fu Guodong sat there, scanning Xin Guangyun, Yansun, Realgar, Sophora Sophora, Senecio and Mint sitting below.
Fu Guodong whispered their names, looked at Xin Guangyun and asked, "Guangyun, ......"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Guodong smiled again and shook his head to himself.
Xin Guangyun immediately said: "Dashuai, I know everything about Xin Guangyun, you can still treat me as him, I believe he can do it, and I can do most of it, so please don't worry about it." ”
Fu Guodong nodded, pondered for a while, and then said: "You used me to hold Sun San, the purpose is to rescue the remaining partner, with my understanding of Sun San, he will not embarrass your partner, you can rest assured." ”
The people in the trench were silent, Xin Guangyun glanced at Yansun, but Yansun did not say anything.
"But since you've made a deal with me, I'm going to have to do my job." Fu Guodong looked at Yansun and asked, "I need to know, what are you going to do next?" ”
Yansun lightly spit out a word: "Wait." ”
"Wait?" Fu Guodong was a little puzzled, "Can this kind of thing wait?" I think it is better for you to return to the prison and rescue that person before Chen Bozhong's soldiers come to the city. ”
Yan Sun shook his head: "No, Sun San still needs her." ”
Fu Guodong was even more puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”
Yansun said: "Our partner in the prison is called Benzoin, a girl, although she is not very old, but she is gifted and intelligent, she is the most powerful survival expert and medicinal dietitian in the trench squad, she is not only our cook, but also a doctor, and an expert in the use of poison, and her ability is above mint. ”
When Mint heard these words, she pinched the corners of her clothes, and her heart was very unhappy.
Fu Guodong nodded: "No wonder Sun San wants to leave her, you say she's not old?" ”
Yansun said: "Yes, it's not very old, 19 years old this year. ”
"What?" Fu Guodong was very surprised, "Only 19 years old? ”
Yan Sun responded: "That's right, 19 years old, she joined my team when she was 12 years old, and she is the youngest in the team, but she is such a child, in these years, she has pulled us back from the brink of life and death several times, so Sun San also has to use her power to find out what secrets are still hidden in "Jinling Jane". ”
Fu Guodong frowned: "19 years old? The trenches were full of strange people. ”

The gate of the first prison of the Serpentine Heart Island.
Gu Feng, who led the way, stopped, turned to look at Tang Anshu and said, "The person I want to take you to see now is the hostage left behind by the trench, her name is Benzoin, and she is the same age as you." ”
Tang Anshu nodded: "It's the same age as me, so it must be very powerful." ”
Gu Feng smiled: "Are you also boasting about yourself?" ”
Tang Anshu just smiled shallowly: "I'm just praising her, let's go." ”
Gu Feng asked strangely: "Don't you want to know what kind of person she is, why did she become a member of the trench at the age of 19?" ”
Tang Anshu shook his head: "I don't want to, I just need to know that she can accomplish the common goal with me, and nothing else matters." ”
Gu Feng looked at Tang Anshu and said, "You don't trust anyone, so there is no need to understand other people." ”
Tang Anshu stepped forward and said, "Open the door." ”
Gu Feng waved his hand for the soldier to open the cell door of Prison A.
The soldiers on both sides turned the handle on the gear together to pull up the big iron door of Prison A, and the moment the door was pulled up, Tang Anshu saw a short-haired woman wearing a soft suit standing with her back to the door, and five men lying around her were wailing.
In front of the short-haired woman, there stood dozens of men in ragged clothes with fierce expressions, who glared at her viciously, but strangely, despite the momentum, no one dared to take half a step forward.
Gu Feng stood beside Tang Anshu and said: "She is Benzoin, she originally lived in Prison Ding and enjoyed the best treatment of prisoners in Prison Ding, but she had to take turns to go to the two prison areas A and B every day. ”
Tang Anshu asked, "Why?" ”
Gu Feng said with a smile: "To treat others, she claims to do a good deed every day." ”
