Chapter 5 Sharpening the Knife

The sun is slanting in the west and the autumn breeze is cool.

On the front lawn of a large thatched house with three ear rooms, the dustpan is upside down, and sun-dried gray-brown dates and ochre-red chestnuts are splashed all over the ground. A large string of brand-new copper coins were piled up on the top of the dustpan, yellow and bright and bright.

Atula squatted on the ground with his head in his face and sighed.

The little girl clung to a gardenia tree, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, her eyes were frightened, she gritted her teeth, and said nothing.

"Oops, girl. Going to Master Lu's house to be a maid is a blessing that he cultivated in his previous life, and he can't ask for it. In the future, you don't have to go to the field anymore, wear silk and satin, eat fragrant and drink spicy ......"

"Sister Gardenia, dare not tear your mouth!"

Her sister-in-law, who looked like a short winter melon, and another old woman in flower clothes kept intimidating and persuading on the side, and once tried to break the little girl's hand. Seeing that she was holding on too tightly, she had to give up, for fear of breaking her fingers.

Two soap-clad guards pressed their hands on the handles of their knives and watched coldly. Who knew that before leaving, the eldest prince Lu Fang ordered not to frighten the little girl, and they were not easy to be rude.

Three hundred meters away, on the embankment, an ox cart is quietly parked, and the driver is boredly whipping away buzzing flies.

"Dead man, don't hurry up and persuade your sister. Blessed do you not know how to enjoy ......"

The shrew kicked, and Tutu snorted and moved two steps stiffly like a crab but didn't get up.

The mother-in-law saw that she couldn't persuade Gardenia to live or die, and her face gradually turned cold.

Da, da, da......

A big green horse came over without hurrying.

The middle-aged man who is right away has a national face, and he is not angry and arrogant. Wearing a brocade robe, a wide jade belt around the waist, with a short sword, and a pair of black leather high-top boots under his feet, it is extremely rare in the water town.

"The little one has seen Commander Huang. ”

The two guards hurried forward and bowed.

The mother-in-law smiled all over her face, opened her mouth but didn't dare to come forward to greet her, and dodged to the side.

Ah Tu stood up in fear, muttered, nodded his head, and took a few steps back timidly with his mother-in-law.

Huang Tang, the commander of the Lujiabao guards, glanced at the situation in the field, snorted coldly, turned over and dismounted. walked to the gardenia tree and stood still, stretched out his right arm without saying a word, and grabbed the slender neck of the little girl with his big palm.

The mother-in-law exclaimed in surprise and quickly covered her mouth, and the two guards looked at each other and did not dare to make a sound.

The shrew shrunk behind Ah Tu, and Ah Tu kept her head down, as if she didn't see her sister being bullied.

The little girl's body struggled and writhed violently, and gradually began to roll her eyes. After a dozen breaths, the hands that clung to the trunk of the tree finally hung down weakly.

Huang Tang tugged and pushed in disgust, and she suddenly fell down like a bundle of straw, foaming at the mouth.

Seeing this, the people in the audience didn't even dare to come out.

Huang Tang took out a silk scarf from his arms, wiped his hands, and said coldly: "If you can't die, you will wake up after pouring a basin of water." It's just a bunch of rubbish, and it can't be done at all. Take it to the castle quickly, and tie it up to me if you make any more trouble. ”

"Yes. The two guards bowed their heads in unison.

"People's hearts are like iron, and official law is like furnaces...... Hum. ”

Huang Tang didn't bother to look at these stupid subordinates and despicable slaves anymore, so he casually threw away the silk scarf and led the horse leisurely forward.

That demeanor, as if a noble son is stepping into the green, and a real celebrity is exploring the seclusion, not like a fierce martial artist who stunned the little girl.

Walking to the bend of the mountain pass, Huang Tang knew that he could see the strange young man's thatched hut more than a hundred steps further. Seeing that there was no one left and right, he tied his horse to a small tree and crept into the forest.

It looked like a thief.

......

Chu Fan's heart suddenly moved.

It's a very subtle sense that something isn't quite right.

At this moment, he was squatting on the ground and sharpening his knife, pressing the head of the knife with his left hand and holding the handle of the knife with his right hand, bowing his waist, and his body kneading together rhythmically. So he took advantage of the gap between the knife and quickly rolled his eyelids upwards and squinted, and sure enough, he caught a glimpse of a person coming out of the mountain forest behind Ah Tu's house.

Damn, if you put a good end of the road, you don't go over the mountains and drill the forest, there will be something strange.

He adjusted his posture and direction slightly, and he saw it more clearly.

It was a big man in a brocade robe, who had suddenly emerged from the dark woods, and was not quite accustomed to the sun, and was looking around vigilantly.

This person Chu Fan knew, and it was Huang Tang, the new commander of Lujiabao who had only been in the country for a month. Every day, he dresses in flowers and is more energetic than the groom's officer, and he is more energetic than the play.

The sneaking appearance of such a "big man" in a slave residence is by no means a trivial matter, a good thing.

Chu Fan's heart sank.

The situation is not good.

I'm afraid something happened to the little girl, and she is being escorted to Lujiabao.

If he was still a young man A Fan a few days ago, he would definitely be in a hurry to jump up at this time, and chase after him with a knife. The end must be a tragedy, he died, and so did her......

But he is Chu Fan, who has accumulated a total of thirty-eight years of life experience of fifteen plus twenty-two, and his insight into human nature and the deduction of the state of affairs are by no means beyond the reach of a country boy.

So he continued to sharpen his knife steadily, thinking.

It doesn't matter. Before Lu Bo died, the little girl was absolutely safe, and she would not be beaten and scolded.

As for the new commander, hehe, it's a big gift package sent to the door, and you don't even need to pay too much attention to how to open it.

The wilderness is flat and unobstructed, and the solitary thatched huts are particularly eye-catching.

After Huang Tang walked a few steps, he saw the figure of a young man squatting under the eaves of the low hut from a distance, but he couldn't see what he was doing.

Someone's eyeballs almost rolled out of their sockets.

Oh, the dog slave really didn't die! After being cut to pieces, he was able to get up and work in only four days? Fortunately, the eldest prince asked me to stop by to take a look, and if he didn't die, he would make up for it. There is also an old man nearby, I heard that he is the second heaviest sergeant in the mud embryo realm, I don't know if I am on the side today, I have to be careful.

At a distance of more than 100 zhang, Huang Tang cautiously looked around, stopping and stopping, and it took about a pillar of incense to finish.

But the young man only shrugged his shoulders and sharpened his knife hard, without looking up at it or paying attention to it, which made a nameless fire spill in the heart of the commander.

The dog minion obviously did it on purpose! Fang just kicked a few rocks and stomped his foot, not believing that he couldn't hear the sound.

Huang Tang really couldn't pull off the shelf, and as the third master of the Mud Embryo Realm, he sneaked up on a seriously injured first slave of the Mud Embryo Realm. But he was reluctant to take the initiative to say hello. simply coughed twice and shouted: "When death is imminent, still pretending?"

The boy still didn't look up, but only sharpened his knife.

"Hahaha, pretend to be garlic, continue to pretend. The king of Hades told you to die in the third watch, and he would never leave anyone until the fifth watch...... Hurry up and run, why don't you run? It's useless to break your leg. Hurry up and scream, why don't you scream? It's useless to scream and cut your throat. ”

After waiting for a while, seeing that the old man never appeared, Huang Tang finally put his mind at ease.

The young man reacted and asked rhetorically, "Ruber is no longer good?"

Huang Tang was stunned and couldn't help but take a step back. Xindao Rubeut's condition deteriorated and he fell into a coma last night, and only a few people in the fort knew, how did this kid know?

The young man didn't wait for an answer, and continued, "Did you take Gardenia away?"

Huang Tang took another step back.

"You're here to kill me. ”

Huang Tang took another step back.

Suddenly I woke up and was forced to take three steps back by a slave's three words, and the feelings of annoyance, weirdness, and anger were mixed together, and my mind was chaotic. Just as he was about to kill immediately after scolding, the young man put down the firewood knife and slowly stood up, stretched his waist, his eyes flashed with cold light, and his momentum was awe-inspiring.

It is a murderous aura that controls the life and death of others, and only the strong and the superior have.

As if above the sky, the goshawk circled, staring indifferently at the little vole in the field.
