Chapter 52: Infighting
"Lin Xu, this person doesn't seem to have heard of it, where did he come from?" Meng Xiye suddenly became puzzled. He had been on the Gobi Desert for so long, and he had never heard of such a powerful figure, so he suspected that it was a swordsman who had just come from other places.
In fact, Meng Xiye's speculation is not bad. Lin Xuan was indeed from Qingfeng City. It's just that he has always led troops in the kamikaze camp to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, and rarely participated in civil grievances and disputes, so few people know his name. But now Lin Xu's name is a well-known name in the army, and even the marshals of the Beast Control Empire and the Red Empire have a headache. Lin Xu completely thwarted their two attacks in succession, thwarting their plan to invade the Shenghua Empire, and now they are as anxious as ants on the hot nest.
"Lin Xu is the battalion commander of the Kamikaze Battalion, this is what I heard him say. I hadn't heard of him before. He Shubiao hurriedly told Meng Xiye Dao.
"We've never provoked the people of the kamikaze camp, how could he attack you?" Meng Xiye asked He Shubiao with more and more doubts.
"This ......" He Shubiao suddenly couldn't answer Meng Xiye directly. Because this matter was originally his fault, it was very disgraceful to rob the people's daughters. If Meng Xiye changed his mind for a while, and after hearing that he was injured because he robbed a woman, he would not help him take revenge, and would even scold and ridicule him, then he would really have a hard time and be ashamed of himself.
However, He Shubiao didn't dare to say it, but someone next to him had already helped him say it. There was a person who knew that He Shubiao was robbing the people's daughter, so he couldn't help but tell Meng Xiye: "Boss, this matter is obvious, it must be He Shubiao who robbed the girl in the village, and was met by Lin Xu on the way, Lin Xu stopped him, and the fight started." As a result, He Shubiao couldn't beat Lin Xu, so he was so seriously injured. ”
"Look at your bear-like appearance, you can't grab anyone, and you're injured. Meng Xiye said to He Shubiao with disdain.
He Shubiao can only hope that Meng Xiye will avenge him now, even if he is ridiculed by Meng Xiye, he does not dare to speak up. All he can do now is endure it, and whoever calls him a loser, even his accomplices, will not have sympathy for him.
But Meng Xiye has not forgotten that He Shubiao is in the same group as himself. Even if he looked down on He Shubiao from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't show it too obviously on the surface. After he just said it coldly, he didn't continue to sarcastically and reprimand He Shubiao, but pretended to comfort He Shubiao.
"He Shubiao, your enemies and brothers will remember it for you first. When your injuries are healed, you will definitely go to Lin Xuan to help you take revenge if you have the opportunity. Let's divide the food and money first. Meng Xiye said to He Shubiao.
"Oh, chief, brother, I thank you for your help. He Shubiao spoke in a very small voice, obviously not from the heart.
In fact, Meng Xiye was also a little scared in his heart. He was not sure of winning Lin Xuan at all, and he would not take the initiative to seek revenge on Lin Xu. He finally had a little bit of a brain than He Shubiao, hearing that Lin Xu was the battalion commander of the kamikaze battalion, and seeing He Shubiao being so seriously injured by Lin Xu, he knew that Lin Xu's strength must be very strong, even if he made a move, he might not be able to take advantage of anything.
People like him have always bullied the weak and feared the strong, and they pick some soft persimmons to pinch, so that they will not do that kind of hard work. After all, he didn't live impatiently, but he didn't want to end up with a serious injury like He Shubiao and only half a life left.
He Shubiao has been following Meng Xiye for so long, how can he not understand that Meng Xiye's words must be discounted, but now he has no other people to rely on except Meng Xiye, so he can only believe in Meng Xiye for the time being. Even if he doubted it in his heart, he still had to express his gratitude in words.
Meng Xiye shared the spoils of the property that the gang of thieves had robbed together. Although it is impossible for him to be 100% fair, and it is impossible for everyone to get so much, after all, he is the leader of this group of bandits, and his martial arts cultivation is the highest one, even if others are not convinced, they dare not show it, let alone turn their faces against him.
But for He Shubiao, a person who has been seriously injured, he is not as comfortable as Meng Xiye. People who usually have some contradictions with He Shubiao took advantage of his injury to do everything they could to snub and ridicule He Shubiao.
"He Shubiao, look at your embarrassment today, aren't you usually very majestic? Why can't you even grab a woman, and you still have only half a life left. A thief with a sharp beak and cheeks who looked like a cunning person said to He Shubiao with a smile.
When He Shubiao heard the words of this thief, he looked at the sarcastic smile on the other party's face, and couldn't help but widen his eyes with anger, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, as if he was about to have a seizure. A thick murderous aura had quickly risen in his body, and he really wanted to kill the person in front of him who was laughing at him immediately.
From this, we can see how complicated the inside of this group of bandits is. Don't look at how amiable they usually look when they go out to rob, but in fact, they are full of contradictions and have their own grievances. It's just that some people haven't shown it yet, and some people can't wait to fall into the trap for people they don't like. It's like the thief who mocks He Shubiao now. Usually he and He Shubiao have some festivals, so he naturally seized this very rare opportunity for him to ridicule He Shubiao.
"Tian Shaobo, what I have become now has nothing to do with you, you don't provoke me here and say these angry words. Although I was injured, it was more than enough to deal with a small character like you. If you don't, just try it at me, and I'll hurt you worse than I do. Not to be outdone, He Shubiao shouted at the mocking thief, obviously challenging the other party, just to see if the other party had the courage to fight him.
As soon as He Shubiao's words fell, Tian Shaobo's face immediately sank, and even the sneer just now completely disappeared, becoming very ugly. In addition, his facial features are already ugly, and now it looks even more unbearable to look at.
When he listened to He Shubiao's ruthless words just now, which could even be regarded as a direct challenge, a wave of anger suddenly arose in his chest, and his two eyes also showed two fierce looks, and he looked as murderous as He Shubiao.
He just took advantage of the fact that he had just received the property, and he was in a good mood, and He Shubiao was indeed seriously injured, so he laughed at He Shubiao by the way. But he didn't expect He Shubiao to have such a strong reaction, and he directly said in the direction of turning his face and becoming an enemy with him, and saying that kind of challenging words in front of so many people obviously made him unable to get off the stage.
Tian Shaobo now only hates He Shubiao for not giving him face, but he has not reflected on his behavior of mocking He Shubiao first. If it was in normal times, he would definitely draw his sword and fight He Shubiao fiercely immediately. Even if he knew that his martial arts were not very good, he would not be insulted by this. But he hasn't completely lost his mind, and now he is fighting with his accomplices in front of Meng Xiye's thief leader, which is obviously infighting. This is something that Meng Xiye will never allow to happen.
At that time, even if Tian Shaobo took advantage of He Shubiao's serious injury and defeated He Shubiao, he would be severely punished by Meng Xiye. In the end, the price he paid may not be less than He Shubiao. He had to think carefully about this kind of result, so as not to end up asking for trouble.
The group of thieves next to him saw He Shubiao and Tian Shaobo arguing-for-tat, and they were already close to the point of fighting, and none of them stood up to fight and persuade peace. Most of them had twinkling eyes and a strange smile on their faces, as if they were all waiting to see the excitement. Judging from this situation, they hope that He Shubiao and Tian Shaobo will fight, and they will also watch a free fight.
Tian Shaobo has already seen from the eyes of these so-called brothers that once he is defeated by He Shubiao, he may end up being laughed at by everyone. At that time, it will not be only He Shubiao who looks down on him, but everyone present will despise him, which will make it even more difficult for him to raise his head and face his accomplices.
Although the people present were all bandits, at this time, they were as cold as strangers, and they were not brothers and friends at all. If you really start fighting, no one will care about any emotion and anger, and they must be desperately beating each other to death.
After Tian Shaobo secretly made some calculations in his heart, he secretly suppressed the anger in his chest, deliberately narrowed his two slender eyes, and his fierce gaze, which was originally full of murderous energy, also converged a lot.
After a while, Tian Shaobo glanced at He Shubiao, and deliberately said coldly: "You are injured now, even if I win against you, it will be dishonorable." If you really want to fight me, then wait until you're healed, and then we'll fight. ”
In the end, Tian Shaobo deliberately "hummed" to express his disdain, as if this could save a little face for him. In fact, in the eyes of others, he is actually admitted. Because He Shubiao clearly said just now that he could win against Tian Shaobo if he was injured, but Tian Shaobo deliberately used He Shubiao's injury as an excuse, which may be difficult for even him to believe.
After Tian Shaobo finished speaking, he deliberately looked away, neither looking at He Shubiao, nor at his accomplices in the cave. In his opinion, there are no friends of his own here at all, and only when they go out to steal and rob, they will get together impromptu and pretend. But the qi in his heart will not dissipate as quickly as it seems. In short, the enmity between him and He Shubiao deepened again.
Of course, He Shubiao knew that Tian Shaobo was deliberately looking for steps. In this confrontation between the two, he won temporarily and won Tian Shaobo once. But he was still not satisfied, so he wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and embarrass Tian Shaobo again.
