In the dark and damp prison of Lingyun City, clumps of white spots appeared on the walls from time to time, which were salt spots that were slowly gathered together by the sea breeze.

Along the long road, there are torches stuck at intervals. Under the swaying light and shadow, the shadows on the ground danced with their teeth and claws, like demons, making everyone who entered them frightened.

Harburgh took a torch from his soldier and whispered, "Wait outside for the time being, you don't have to follow me." As he spoke, he walked alone to the innermost room.

Compared to the other cells, this room is much more spacious, and there is even a window facing south, so you can enjoy the rare sunlight in the prison.

A man sat cross-legged on the floor of his cell, with grease venison, dusty wine, and all sorts of fruit on the table in front of him.

The man sat motionless on the ground with his eyes closed, oblivious to what was in front of him.

"Hassan." Ha Bao gently pressed a mechanism, and the iron door of the cell slowly opened, and he walked straight in front of Hashan, and sat a little tired at the table.

Reaching for the flask on the table, he poured himself a glass, and the leopard drank it in one gulp, then tore off another piece of venison and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Ha Qianhu, if you don't enjoy the glory outside, how can you have time to come here." Hassan opened his eyes and glanced at the open door.

"The owner of the village is not dead, he is back." Habao reached out and grabbed a handful of small red fruits, stuffed them into his mouth, and said indistinctly: "I think when we were in the village, we couldn't imagine such a delicacy, let alone such a good wine. To this day, I can still dream a lot of things about being starved as a child."

Looking at the white grease on the beard of the harbaner and the squirming cheeks, Hashan opened his mouth, and finally couldn't bear to mock him, "I know that the owner of the village has a great life, how could he die under the thunderstorm, but he arrived at Zuoheng Road?"

"No, it's still outside Hengmen Port, Hua Zhenlan didn't stop him at sea, and now one person is on land and one person is in a stalemate at sea." Ha Bao did not hide it, and told the truth one by one, "The dreadnought army in the north, together with the people of the Ji country, has broken through the barrier of the Hua family and approached Jincheng."

Hassan was silent for a long time, and Fang poured himself a glass of wine that had never been touched on the table, "He's going to kill you, right?" The owner of the village hates the betrayal very much, you broke away from the dreadnought, joined the Hua family, became a thousand households, and caught and killed a group of old brothers who opposed you, I am afraid that he will behead you when he goes ashore. So, you came to me, but so that I could intercede with the lord of the village on your behalf?"

Habao took another sip of wine, and the bloodshot in his eyes became more and more obvious, "Yes, Hashan, the only one who can help me at this time is you, the owner of the village remembers the old feelings, and he can't say that he will listen to you, leaving me and Qi Yue with a life." I won't do this thousand households, I am willing to return to Shixing Village, open up wasteland and farm, and live honestly for the rest of my life."

But Hasan sighed, raised his head and drank the wine in front of him, "You're just scared, Hatbao, I know your temperament best, how can you be the kind of person who is content with poverty. Even if you can do it, what about Qi Yue, will she endure this hardship.

I'm not afraid that you won't like to hear it, marry a wife and be virtuous, I didn't agree with you marrying her at the beginning, but you insisted on going your own way for the sake of your own face. Isn't it Qi Yue's idea that many things happened later, and she is the culprit who dragged you into a catastrophe.

Also, even if you betray the owner of the village, these old brothers can't move, let alone kill. If you kill someone, you will cut yourself off. That Zhong Lei, he diligently led his clan to farm, didn't he just scold you a few words, why did he kill people. And Qu Tong, if I hadn't been carrying a knife to duel with you, I might have died at your hands. Ha Leopard, are you crazy to do so many wrong things?"

Ha Bao's body rose and fell sharply, he breathed heavily, his fists clenched tightly, and when he heard the end, he flicked his arm hard, sweeping all the wine and food on the table to the ground, "Do you think I want to do the opposite, when I heard that the owner of the village died under the thunderstorm, the Hua family and the An Si family were going to do something to us, if I didn't comply, how many brothers would die under their knives." Chu Xi is a stubborn person again, only I can do this to save most people.

Besides, Zhong Lei is just a human race who farms the land, if it wasn't for the owner of the village who rescued him, I'm afraid he would have been sucked dry.

How dare he speak nonsense, and to ruin my reputation, and to incite the sergeants and men of the army and the people of all the cities against me? You say, if I don't kill a hundred people, I'm afraid that more people will jump out, and then we won't have to be beaten by others, and we will fight ourselves to the death. There's really no way I can kill him."

"There's no way." Hashan was furious, but he slapped the table violently, "You want to go to the Hua family and obtain glory and wealth, in the case that the life and death of the owner of the village are unknown at that time, we will scold a few words and pass, do people have their own ambitions." The most important thing is that you shouldn't use the whole team as a bargaining chip for your own merits, and kill the brothers who are leaving, which touches the bottom line, and who will tolerate you."

Ha Bao looked at the wall of the cell in a daze, but he was uncharacteristically unmoved, "Hashan, can't you really help me?"

Hashan sighed, propped his hands behind his back, and looked up at the roof of the cell, "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I really can't help, no one can save you if someone dies." After a while, Hashan seemed to be talking to himself, and said in a low voice, "Otherwise, you can escape, and run away before the owner of the village returns."

"Run? Where to flee, to other provinces, lost the support of a thousand households, no land, no horses, no wealth, I can only become the thugs of others. It's okay to become a thug, but Qi Yue can't live this kind of life, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she can't endure hardship." Ha Bao glanced at Ha Shan in some confusion and said to himself.

"Then leave that woman behind, she is a curse, and it is better to flee to a foreign land and start over than to lose her life." Hasan stared coldly at the harp leopard opposite.

Ha Bao didn't answer, and barely stood up with his hands on the table, his body a little rickety. The whole person seemed to be much older all of a sudden, and he bowed his head and slowly walked out of the cell.

Hasan looked at the unclosed prison door, his expression was gloomy, and he also sighed. In this life, people walk, or linger in the scenery, or delay under their feet, or strayed into a fork in the road, many people will slowly turn around and disappear. Look at the book

Habao left the cell, gave the cell boss an order, no longer had to guard the cell, walked around the city, and after a long time turned around and headed for another mansion.

The owner of this mansion is Liu Zheng, who voted for the flower family with him. In the Zuoheng Road Dreadnought Army, there are three Qu Chang, namely Liu Zheng, Zhang Cho, and Huyanmo, among which Liu Zheng and Zhang Cho are both human races, and Huyanmo is a shepherd.

These three people were the leaders of the Dreadnought Army selected by Wu Yan when he left, and among them, Liu Zheng had the strongest personal friendship with Habao. This time he defected to the Hua family, if it weren't for Liu Zheng's full help, I'm afraid it would not be so easy to establish the Ha family.

As for Zhang Chofu, because of his opposition to defecting to the Hua family, he wanted to take his family and horses to Liangsha Mountain, but he was also taken down by Habao and thrown into prison, and was locked up with Hashan and others.

Huyanmo remained neutral, neither supporting nor opposing the choice of the harbour, if he left, let the harbour not be good for him.

Without Hashan's promise, Habao walked in the city blankly, and there was no one to talk to in the huge Lingyun City. Habao didn't want to go back to his mansion, facing Qi Yue's disappointed expression and her nagging, so he could only come to Liu Zheng to discuss how to deal with the possible death.

In Liu Zheng's house, at this time, the silk and bamboo were harmonious, singing and dancing slowly, and Liu Zheng was holding a shepherd woman on the left and right, drinking wildly. Ever since he became a songman, he liked to find some shepherd women to make music, so as to sweep away the humiliation he had suffered in the past.

Seeing the leopard come in, Liu Zheng didn't get up, and pushed the woman next to him, "Come on, come on, go and invite the adults of Qianhu to sit down, just drink and watch the dance together."

Habao glanced at the drunken Liu Zheng, pushed it away and walked in front of him, the figure twisted like a willow in the wind, and frowned: "Let's go down, I'll talk to Liu Quchang about something."

These excellent people knew the harbour leopard, and seeing that their faces were displeased, they quickly packed up their things and retreated one by one, leaving only two people in the house.

"In broad daylight, what kind of system will these women become?" Ha Bao was displeased, and looked at Liu Zheng, who was already drunk, with his hands behind his back.

Liu Zheng grabbed the wine jug on the table, took a few big sips, and patted the seat next to him, "There is wine today and drunk today, Qianhu, I think you have also heard that the owner of the village is back." You're better, as a pastor

People can flee to other places, and where can a human race like me flee to, it is difficult to be caught again, and little by little they will be devoured to death."

"Wu Gen is back, but whether he can return here is still to be said. The war in the north is unknown, and as long as the north does not move, we can still have a chance to live." Harbour sat down and took a big sip of wine.

"What's the life, although we voted for the Hua family, we have been guarded against by others, and our men and horses have also been dismembered, even if the Hua family wins, we can't be much better." Liu Zheng lay on the table in a dejected manner, grabbing the wine jug and pouring wine into his mouth, "Now I have also heard that the Hua family is losing every year, and I can't say that Jincheng will change hands soon. At that time, there will be chaos on this side of Zuoheng Road, and the master of Wu Zhai will take advantage of the opportunity of a big victory, what An Si family, what Hua family, which one can stop it.

Such as Huyanmo, Zhang Chofu and others, they don't have to be afraid, they don't want to come to Wuzhai Master will not rush to kill them all. But the two of us won't be it, with the blood of those dead brothers on our hands. You know the character of the owner of the village, how can you let us go. I'll tell you the truth, I want to open these days, I can eat when I want, drink when I want, and enjoy every day is a day."

"Hmph, people with no ambitions, I heard that the An Si family is preparing to leave Bailing Province, if not, we will bring people and horses and merge with the An Si family, and I can't say that we can enjoy the glory again." Ha Bao leaned forward and snatched Liu Zheng's wine jug.

Liu Zheng raised his head violently, his eyes were red, and his face was full of hideousness, "The wolf ambitions of the Ansi family, if you follow them, you will be eaten and wiped clean sooner or later, can't you see it?" Besides, if we leave, how will Yang Zheng's eagle dogs let us go. The reason why we are not moved is that the soldiers and horses are still on Zuoheng Road, and if you take the men and horses away, believe it or not, you will die without a place to be buried."

"This can't be done, that's not possible, so what do you say?" Harbour Leopard is also furious, today Liu Zheng is quite rude, so that he who pays attention to the rules on weekdays is already implicitly unhappy, and now seeing him repeatedly refute himself, an evil fire rises in his heart, and his voice is naturally louder.

"What should I do, I've fallen into such a situation, it's not all thanks to you. Who made you fall in love with Qi Yue's little girl, and instead of defecting to the dreadnought army of Liangsha Mountain, he recognized his enemies as friends and wanted to be self-reliant. I can also see that you are a person with no ambitions, wandering around the gentle country all day long, how did I be blind and follow you to do so many stupid things." Liu Zheng jumped up, pointed at the harbour and scolded.

"Presumptuous, you can't do it if you want to. If you weren't greedy for wealth, how could you be willing to stay in Lingyun City." Habao also jumped up and glared at Liu Zheng angrily.

"It's the opposite, what can you do, you can't sacrifice your head, make meritorious contributions, and the owner of the village can spare my life." Liu Zheng slammed the knife on his waist on the table, and for a while the soup flew wildly and the wine glasses were scattered.

"Look for death." Habao was so angry that his hands trembled, and when he saw Liu Zheng touch the knife on the table, he took the lead in snatching it, and pulled out the knife and stabbed it in the chest.

Liu Zheng stared at the other party with a stunned expression, blood foaming from his mouth, and his two hands clutched Ha Leopard's clothes, "Ha Leopard, you can't ...... You will not die well."

Ha Bao's hands trembled, and he pulled out his knife and stabbed Liu Zheng's body again.

"Ah......h

Plopped, the leopard sat on the ground and watched Liu Zheng's corpse retreat again and again.

"You forced me." A terrible voice rang out in the room.
