Chapter 8: A game of cat and mouse
"Brother Gu, thank you just now." After Long Xingyu bandaged his wounds, he immediately thanked Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao said lightly: "It's a little thing, why bother with it." ”
To be honest, Gu Xiao really thinks that Long Xingyu is a very worthy investment now.
In Gu Xiao's view, there are actually only two kinds of people in this world: one is people with ability, and the other is people with no ability.
Gu Xiao felt to himself that he was now a capable person, so he naturally had to make friends with people who were also capable. Although Long Xingyu is still a temporary partner for him so far, he believes that this person will definitely become his arm in the future!
Long Xingyu secretly kept this situation in his heart, and asked: "Brother Gu, you said that now that the chasing soldiers have come, do we have to fight with these people, and then go to the capital of Shiguo?" ”
Gu Xiao thought about it.
Now, it is no longer realistic to want to rush all the way to the capital of Shiguo.
Since the pursuers from the capital have entered the border of the stone country, it will inevitably alarm the high-level of the stone country. At that time, the people of Shi Guo will inevitably join in the pursuit of themselves and others. Now, if you want to go to the capital of Shiguo again, it will definitely be a self-defeating net.
Of course, Gu Xiao was not afraid of death, but he didn't want to die so aggrieved.
"Nope! It's not time for us to fight hard. After a while, Gu Xiao replied.
Long Xingyu was puzzled and asked rhetorically, "Why?" ”
"It's very simple, now that the pursuers of the capital have entered the territory of the Shi country, what awaits us is that it will not be long before the joint pursuit of the Shi country, the capital country and even the Yin country. Now, if we go to the capital of Shiguo, do you think we will have a second fate? Gu Xiao said his guess. Then he asked rhetorically.
Long Xingyu was silent, this was exactly what he was worried about, so he just proposed to fight with these people first, and then rush away.
He knows it well. What Gu Xiao said was not wrong at all.
"Do you mean, then, that we are going to give up the chance to capture the last third of the secrets?" Long Xingyu took out the secret secret that was only two-thirds from his body, and said with some reluctance.
For him, this secret book is too important, and the thought that he is going to give up this secret book makes Long Xingyu feel his heart ache.
Seeing this, Gu Xiao suddenly despised it in his heart.
As the saying goes, when the judgment continues, it will be chaotic! Why can't this person understand that if there is life, then naturally everything is there. If you don't even have your life. That's nothing.
His view is not that he himself is greedy for life and afraid of death, but that if there is a trade-off between some things, he must give up some things in exchange for others.
In Gu Xiao's eyes, since this secret book was of no use to him at all, it was naturally not as important as his life.
"Don't worry, you'll have a chance to capture the last secret?" Gu Xiao endured the unhappiness in his heart. said to Long Xingyu.
Long Xingyu was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Don't forget. The deal that Shiguo and Duguo reached because of this secret book! Gu Xiao reminded Long Xingyu, who was also present at the time, and asked him not to forget this matter.
Hearing this, Long Xingyu exclaimed, "You mean? ...... the Zhenguo Guild? ”
Gu Xiao stretched out his hand to interrupt Long Xingyu's words and said with a smile; "Yes, since the people from the capital country are here, the people from the stone country will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to keep the secret on the two of us. Complete that deal! ”
Long Xingyu was overjoyed when he heard this, this is the real mountain and water with no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!
Originally, he was already desperate about whether he could get the last one-third of the secret book, but now he heard Gu Xiao say this. Immediately, a wave of ecstasy welled up in my heart.
"Let's go!" Gu Xiao glanced at Long Xingyu, turned around silently, and went straight to the two horses he had robbed, and said with his back to Long Xingyu.
"Didn't you just say that we're not going to do anything now?" Long Xingyu was confused, this person just said that they don't do anything now, and now they let themselves go with him, which really confused him.
Long Xingyu really couldn't understand what Gu Xiao was thinking in his head!
Gu Xiao glanced at Long Xingyu and replied, "Doing nothing doesn't mean that we have to wait for the pursuers to catch up and kill us now." We should now do something else. ”
"What's the matter?" Long Xingyu asked.
Gu Xiao replied: "It's very simple, hurry to the next town and replenish food and water. If I'm not mistaken, the pursuers are already on the verge of catching up, and once they've caught up, do you think we'll have time to prepare food and water? ”
Long Xingyu slapped his head fiercely and secretly scolded himself for being confused.
Indeed, even if you want to run for your life, you must prepare enough food and water for your own consumption!
Otherwise, it's not running for your life, it's looking for death. Now that they already knew that the pursuers from the capital country would get in touch with the stone country sooner or later, at least two countries would hunt them down together. How can you not take advantage of the opportunity to replenish yourself with more food and water?
……
"My lord, I'm sure those two little brutes must have run away this way! This is the only way to get to the next town in Stone Country. A knight rode on a horse and reported to Chen Tianyu, who was blushing.
Chen Tiantie blushed and shouted: "Those two little beasts, if Lao Tzu catches them, he must let them die a miserable death!" ”
Chen Tian is really about to be blown up now, and he came to kill people in a hurry, but he was teased by the two of them, not only did he not kill the two of them, but also lost more than a dozen lives. Even, even the war horses were dispersed, and it was not easy to recover most of the war horses, and there are more than a dozen war horses that I don't know where to run now.
Fortunately, more than a dozen of them were killed or wounded. Otherwise, we wouldn't even be able to ride it with one hand right now.
"Those two little beasts, I will not let them die so easily, I will play the two of them to death like a cat and mouse!" Looking into the distance, Chen Tian swore viciously.
Around Chen Tian, when the pursuers heard this, almost all of them showed a look of common hatred and hatred.
They originally thought that killing two little things and avenging Taishi Yan was a very simple matter. It's just two little things, is it really possible to turn the world upside down? Even if these two little things killed Yan Taishi, as long as they were people, they could see that Yan Taishi was succeeded by a sneak attack.
Therefore, at the beginning, they didn't take Gu Xiao and Long Xingyu to heart at all.
It's just that the cruel truth quickly gave them a hard slap in the face, and those two little things really turned the sky upside down!
The first confrontation cost the lives of their dozen brothers.
As Chen Tian said, if the two of them died easily, wouldn't it be too sorry for themselves!
These two imps must die worse than the rats that were killed by the cat! This is the common voice of these people at this moment! (To be continued......)
