Since the slaughter of millions in the Bailu Plain, half a month has passed, Huang Pu led the 400,000 army of Chu to crisscross thousands of miles, where he passed, there was no disadvantage, and he never encountered large-scale resistance, the enemy fled in despair, and the rest fell to the ground.

On this day, I arrived at another city, and as soon as the army arrived, I saw that the city gate was wide open, and the city lord and the clan elders came out to greet him, handed over the city lord's seal, and surrendered very simply.

The rule of Huangpu's army is that if you resist, the whole city will be slaughtered, if you surrender, then Qiu will not commit any crime, this is a butcher's promise to the world, and he will never overstep, but the soldiers of the Chu army will not be spared.

Huang Pu arranged to go into the city with the sergeants and officials to hand over, but he led a large army to be stationed outside the city, repaired for the time being, and when the handover was completed, he had to set off again.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Huang Pu looked at the sand table in the center, and was thinking carefully about the next action, around him, there were eighteen uniformed sergeants guarding him, they were Huang Pu's personal guards, numbered Eighteen Iron Guards.

The Eighteen Iron Guards do not refer specifically to these eighteen individuals, but to this group. Although Huang Pu has been fighting for many years, his own strength is not strong, so he needs someone to protect him, and these eighteen iron guards are his last line of defense.

In Huang Pu's impression, these eighteen people have changed countless stubbles, and few of them can stay by his side for a full month. Because there were so many people who came to assassinate him, sometimes three or five groups of people could come in one night. The people who can avoid the patrols of the army and touch the big tent of the Chinese army can imagine how strong the force will be, and these eighteen people can only fill it with their lives, buy him a little time, and let the army outside the account rush in.

Therefore, these eighteen people died very quickly, and there were rumors in the army that entering the eighteen iron guards was to set foot on the Huangquan Road.

In fact, Huang Pu knew that no one wanted to protect himself, and everyone wanted to die by himself, but he couldn't die yet, so he arrested all the family members of the Eighteen Iron Guards, and issued an iron order, if he died, all the clansmen of the Eighteen Iron Guards would be buried with him, and if the Eighteen Iron Guards died before him, then the bounty would be one thousand taels.

Imprisoning him with power and moving his heart with heavy rewards, Huang Pu was able to survive without danger until now, but he found that the eighteen iron guards were gradually insufficient, because the people who came to assassinate him were getting stronger and stronger.

Just like yesterday, the man jumped into the account with a long sword in his hand, and killed all the eighteen iron guards in a few breaths, if he hadn't reacted quickly, he jumped into the crowd that came to the rescue, but he was afraid that he would have died in Huangquan.

He knew that if there were a few more people like that last night, he would not be able to have such good luck every time, and death seemed to be getting closer and closer to him. However, in the face of the dilemma in front of him, he had no choice but to strengthen his defense as best he could, and then helplessly waited for the unknown danger.

He looked at the sand table, but his mind was not on it, because the overall situation of the world has been decided, as long as he does not die, then everything is a foregone conclusion, and if he dies, then everything will be like a dream bubble, disappearing in an instant. His only responsibility at this time is to try to protect his own life, so what he is thinking about at this time is how to further strengthen his defenses.

While thinking about it, he suddenly heard that there was a great chaos in the army, and he frowned, and secretly thought, is there still anyone who dares to make noise in the army today? This is obviously beyond his expectations, because he is well aware of the fear of his army, everyone is cautious in their words and deeds, and orders are forbidden, and he has strictly ordered the army not to make noise, and because of this, he has killed many people, and his army has long become a silent killing machine, and the situation like this has not appeared for a long time.

Just when he was confused, a sergeant came to report, and his words were concise and sonorous: "Report, there is a strong man who broke into the camp alone and threatened to see the commander." ”

When Huang Pu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, it would be good if there was a reason, otherwise, he would kill a lot of people today, and after listening to the report of his subordinates, although he was curious about who the strong man was, but the army had its own rules in the army, how could he come if he wanted to, so he ordered: "Capture him." ”

It's captured, not invited, today, except for the king of Chu, no one can afford his invitation.

According to his thoughts, within a few moments, the man would be tied up into a dumpling and appear in front of him, but after waiting for a long time, not only did he not see the man being captured, but the noise in the army was even worse, and he couldn't help but wonder who had such force.

Although he is not good at personal force, he has seen a lot of strong people, those strong people, strong and healthy far better than ordinary people, and the moves are even more dangerous, but he is a hundred-person enemy, facing an army like mountains and seas, only the fate of death on the spot, and I have never seen anyone who can hold out in the army alone for so long.

Curious, he walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, stood on the high platform in front of the door, looked around, and saw the big man in the center of the vortex at a glance.

I saw that in the center of the whirlpool, a mighty man danced the iron rod in his hand, and was walking towards the big tent of the Chinese army where he was step by step. The knives and guns around him are messy, but he can always avoid them just right, without hurting a bit, and the iron rod in his hand is swept at will, and a large number of people are turning on their backs, which seems to be dangerous, but in fact it is better than a leisurely stroll.

The strong man was naturally a fat man, the fat man obeyed the master's orders, caught up with Huang Pu's army, came to the front of the camp, opened his mouth to see Huang Pu himself, and the guards naturally would not let him in.

The fat man was unwilling to come, but he didn't expect to see the main owner after coming, so he immediately got angry and broke in alone.

Although this world can't use mana, but who is the fat man, his unworking stick method is by no means given in vain, plus he carries a Ruo Gong roller all the year round, and now he doesn't know how much strength he has, and he naturally doesn't waste his strength to deal with these ordinary people.

The stick method is not used, the knife and gun are invulnerable, and he walks among the armies leisurely, without a trace of threat, or the fat man does not want to kill, so he does not use any strength at all, otherwise, it will not be a person who turns over on his back, but a river of blood.

Huang Pu looked at it for a while, then looked at it for a while, and suddenly sighed, knowing in his heart that his army could not help this person, and he would definitely die today.

He was not afraid of death, although he was unwilling, but since he was destined to have this catastrophe, he could also face it calmly, so he ordered: "All retreat, let him enter the account." ”

After speaking, the eighteen iron guards were dismissed, and he turned around and returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, and the big horse golden knife sat on the main seat, took off his helmet, revealing a full head of white hair, and arranged his hair accessories with a calm look.

The fat man entered the big tent of the Chinese army, looked at the general who was on the main seat, silent, he knew that the master had taken a fancy to him and wanted to accept him as an apprentice, but the fat man didn't have a good impression of him now, because, the fat man felt that he had killed too many people, and the master said that he was a person with great compassion, but the fat man did not agree, so the fat man was against the master's order in his heart, but since he came, what should be done still had to be done.

The fat man looked at Huang Pu and asked him, "Do you know how many people you killed?"

Huang Pu smiled slightly, and replied calmly: "Those who died because of me, 16,749,475 people. ”

The fat man's mighty body shook wildly, he didn't expect so many people to die because of him, and he didn't expect him to remember it so clearly, the fat man said in a trembling voice: "You are a madman." ”

Huang Pu said: "No, I am not, I know exactly what I am doing. ”

"You're going to hell. ”

"If hell were like this, I would start all over again. ”

"Don't you regret it?"

"No regrets. ”

"Why?"

"This is not the world I want to live in, but I have no choice but to exist, so I want to make this the world I want to live in. ”

The fat man was silent for a long time, and said, "Okay, I want to see what the world you want is like, and if that world is not ideal, I will kill you." ”

This was the first time the fat man and Huang Pu met, and in the long years to come, Huang Pu would occasionally ask the fat man if he really wanted to kill him, and the fat man would always smile and nod, and then shake his head.

Huang Pu himself didn't expect that he didn't die, but had one more protector, and this protector had a strength that was difficult for the world to match, so he dismissed the eighteen iron guards, because it was useless, if even the fat man couldn't protect him, then no matter how many iron guards he had, it would be useless.

Since then, the fat man and Huangpu have eaten the same table, slept together, and never left for a moment.

The assassination continued, and it never ended, but no one could step into the tent of the Chinese army again, Huang Pu was finally able to sleep peacefully, and he did not have to watch out for cold arrows from nowhere every day, he completely put his life in the hands of the fat man, and believed in him without reservation.

The only fly in the ointment is that Huang Pu has to listen to the fat man's constant complaints.

It is disgusting to complain that the food here is not as good as the pig's food, to complain that he does not sleep well here, that people will disturb his good dreams every night, and that a certain person who has no conscience has thrown himself here and has not come to see him for so long.

For these complaints, Huang Pu just listened, but never answered, in addition to dealing with some military things every day, most of the time was reading books, the fat man accidentally found that Huang Pu had thirty large boxes, which were full of books.

The fat man asked Huang Pu: "Have you finished reading so many books?"

Huang Pu replied: "I have finished reading it." ”

For the first time, the fat man expressed his admiration for Huang Pu.

After being together for a long time, the fat man found that Huang Pu did have a lot of unknown sides under the appearance of the butcher.

For example, he will group all the wounded soldiers, the lightly injured ones will not be able to go to the battlefield until they are healed, and the seriously injured ones will be directly paid severance pay and sent back to their hometowns.

For example, he eats and drinks like all the people in the army, without the slightest preferential treatment.

For example, for those soldiers and civilians who surrendered without a fight, he really did not commit any crimes in the autumn.

For example, when he saw a large field of crops on the march, he would rather go around a hundred miles than pass through it.

If you throw away the appearance of a butcher, he will be the best commander in the world, but all of this cannot hide the world's perception of his butcher's name.

Because, he has killed too many people, so much so that he can only accommodate one label, that is, "butcher".

The fat man would sometimes ask Huang Pu: "Won't you be able to build the world you want without killing so many people?"

Huang Pu replied: "Yes, but there will be more people who will die, so many that you can't imagine, although it is not at my hands, but my heart is uneasy." ”

The fat man suddenly felt that maybe what Master said was right, this guy was really a person with great compassion.
