Xu Shu persuaded Han Fu with a simple truth.

And Han Fu persuaded Xu Shu with a simpler reason and brought Sun Ergou and Bao Hong.

The friendship of not abandoning and not giving up is not an example of Xu Shu's side in the imperial army, but the norm.

This kind of feeling, which seems to be somewhat unreal, makes Xu Shu deeply fascinated.

He once died because of righteousness, changed his name and surname, and now he has fallen into another more simple righteousness.

Before leaving, he personally put on armor for Sun Ergou and Bao Hong, and repeatedly told him to listen to his orders after departure, until Sun Ergou and Bao Hong's heads were big and they generally accepted to beg for mercy.

Three war horses went out of the city at dusk.

Just at the beginning of winter, Langya has already drifted the first snow.

Although the drop is not very large, it can leave a very clear footprint on the war horse.

Because of this sudden snowfall, Xu Shu had to delay for a while, and he didn't leave until nearly evening.

After leaving Kaiyang City, Xu Shu and the three of them first ran for thirty miles in the direction of Linyi, and then suddenly turned around and went up the river and went straight to the direction of Yangdu.

Sun Ergou craned his neck, staring carefully at the road ahead in the snow, and shouted to Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, we take Linyi is the nearest road, why do we have to take a detour?" ”

"Stupid and stupid, of course, to confuse the enemy!" Bao Hong shouted.

Xu Shu hurried to the road while observing the surrounding terrain, and said with a smile: "Bao Hong is right, we really want to confuse the enemy. We're going to make the enemy think we're starting to get suspicious, that's basically what it means, and you don't have to figure it out too much. ”

"Ao ......" Sun Ergou responded.

其实，他还是没听明白到底是什么意思。

But he didn't seem to need to figure it out.

The wind whimpered, and the snowflakes with a grit texture scraped on the face were particularly painful.

In the weather, when it was difficult to even take a breath, the three of them did not waste any more energy to speak, and continued to hurry.

It was completely dark and completely invisible, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier.

Xu Shu found an abandoned house in a nearby village, and the three of them lived in it, preparing to rest for a night.

In these chaotic years of war, there are many abandoned houses like this among the people.

Their owners may have died, or they may have fled to a foreign land.

Sun Ergou removed the window lattice, collected some wood, and lit the fire.

When the bright fire lit up, the three of them came together in unison.

After nearly three hours of rushing in the wind and snow, their hands were already frozen.

After the roast was a little warmer, Bao Hong took out a small iron pot from his backpack, shoveled a pot of snow outside, and put it on the fire.

"Don't sleep too hard tonight, maybe there will be ......"

Xu Shu was just about to tell Bao Hong and Sun Ergou a few words, but suddenly heard movement outside, and there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves.

His hand slowly pressed on the spear, and he smiled bitterly, "It seems that it won't be our turn to sleep." ”

"It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Bao Hong also held the horizontal knife nervously, got up and clinged to the window lattice.

"There is no doubt about it, the coincidence just means that something happened, and these people should have followed our footsteps all the way." Xu Shu said, "I'll block the front, and the two of you are ready to raid, no matter who comes, strike first." ”

"Whoa!"

Sun Ergou also followed Bao Hong's example and hid under the window lattice on the left.

Only Xu Shu held a spear in his hand and still sat in front of the fire.

Bang!

There was a muffled sound.

The dilapidated courtyard gate fell to the ground, and then a messy footstep sounded in the courtyard.

"Don't hide, come out, I've seen you a long time ago. Rest assured, Naigong seeks only money, not your lives. A shrill voice rang out in the courtyard like a dead duck pinched by the neck.

"You just come in, why pretend!" Xu Shu shouted.

"Hey, I don't need your words, I'll come in naturally." With the sound of footsteps, a dwarf appeared outside the door.

Behind him, there were more than a dozen big men with all kinds of weapons.

The men scattered and guarded almost every corner of the courtyard.

No matter where Xu Shu and the three of them attacked, they could react quickly.

"Who sent you? Let's be honest, I'll give you a good time! Xu Shu was calm and calm, and his eyes were wide-eyed.

The dwarf, who had a beard longer than his head and carried a large knife on his shoulder, sneered when he heard this: "You look down on me? ”

"I didn't mean to look down on you." Xu Shu said indifferently, "I'm just giving you a clear way." ”

"Labor and management are in charge of the house, who can direct me? Don't you look down on me? Originally, Naigong was just asking for money, but now I have decided, I have to cook you, you look down on me! The dwarf was furious and pointed at Xu Shu and scolded.

Xu Shuwan'er, "You have followed us all the way, you should have known our identity for a long time, right?" ”

"Then have you noticed that the tiger pawn of the imperial court is right behind you? Speaking of the mastermind behind the scenes, you may have a way to live, the dead duck has a hard mouth, and the nine clans are all wiped out, understand? ”

"What is the sin of intercepting and killing the envoy of the imperial court, do you know?"

"I might as well tell you that this matter has alarmed Your Majesty!"

"The real Han guards are already in Langya, hehe, you definitely don't believe it, you will be hard-mouthed, you will be suspicious, it's okay. Do you know what my real Praetorian guard is called? Call the guards, there are no living enemies under their swords! ”

The dwarf who was carrying the big knife on his shoulder, put the beard that was about to wrap around his waist behind his back, danced the big knife, and pointed at Xu Shu, "Little thief, you talk too much nonsense, you really think that Naigong is here to talk to you on this snowy day?" Kill him! ”

The big man in the courtyard had already rushed over, but Xu Shu was still sitting calmly, "Do you know who Ben will be?" ”

"Who are you, kill me!" The gnome yelled at the top of his voice.

Xu Shu suddenly shook his spear and started a fire.

Burning sticks were splashed everywhere.

Mars flew out like snowflakes falling outside.

The three big men who had just rushed into the house hurriedly dodged, slapping the sparks that fell on them.

Xu Shu suddenly got up, his waist was slightly bent, his anger sank, and he suddenly shot out.

The spear stabbed twice, and the two big men were brought down in an instant.

Then he shot at lightning speed and pierced the neck of another big man.

"This general Zhang Liao, Xi is the general of Huwei Zhonglang."

The dwarf was also taken aback by Xu Shu's swift and thunderous move.

His eyes flickered, and there was a slight hesitation in his eyes.

Whether it is a soldier or a general, it is all carried in the moves and momentum.

He could still tell the difference.

Xu Shu's words and deeds and moves have clearly confirmed his identity as a general.

"Little thief, just be caught, summon the mastermind behind you, and I'll give you a way out." Xu Shu pulled out his gun and kicked the already dead man at the dwarf's feet, "The stubborn will only die without a place to be buried, and you still have to involve your clan, why bother!" ”

Xu Shu's words were obviously believed by the dwarf, his eyes flickered for a moment, and suddenly shouted, "Naigong doesn't care who you are, kill me!" Killing you is death, not killing you is also death, taking your head, Naigong may have a great future. ”

"Pedantic stupid thief!" Xu Shu scolded and gave Bao Hong and Sun Ergou a look.

Then he went out with a gun and went straight at the dwarf who was not as long as his legs.

"Want to capture the thief and capture the king first? Come on, come on, Naigong will see how much ability you have! The dwarf shouted with some excitement.

This reaction made Xu Shu slightly stunned.

A person can talk so full, in general, there are only two possibilities,

Or, he's really capable.

Or, he just hasn't been beaten.

But Xu Shu looked at this dwarf who was not as tall as his legs, and he really didn't think that this person would be so capable of fighting.

In the light of the fire, the spear attacked the dwarf again and again, with the sound of breaking the wind.

After Xu Shu grappled the dwarf, Bao Hong and Sun Ergou, who were hiding under the window lattice, also took advantage of the darkness of the night to kill them, and the two of them were very cautious and did not shout loudly, so they followed behind Xu Shu and attacked the other thieves who surrounded them.

The first to discover Bao Hong and Sun Ergou turned out to be the dwarf.

He brandished a long knife to deal with Xu Shu's attack, and suddenly shouted loudly: "The torch is fighting, and the eyes are bright for Naigong, and there are two thieves who want to play with labor and management to play with the lamp." ”

After his reminder, the light of the torch immediately swept towards Xu Shu's side.

Sun Ergou and Bao Hong, who were hiding in the shadows under the eaves, had nothing to hide in an instant, so they could only give up the sneak attack.

"Attack and defend!" Xu Shu shouted.

Offense and defense are offensive and defensive formations, and the three-person station is a zigzag formation, and attack and defend.

What Xu Shu didn't expect was that the dwarf who looked like he was supposed to be very weak was really capable of fighting.

His short stature disadvantage turned out to be his advantage in battle, making him flexible in his moves and defense.

Just now, Xu Shu had two chances to kill with one blow, but the dwarf seized the gap and drilled through his crotch, so that he successfully avoided the killing move, not to mention, and almost cut Xu Shu's leg.

Like this, by drilling other people's crotch, dodging killing moves, and even turning defeat into victory, Xu Shu is really the first time to see it.

But after experiencing the same thing twice, Xu Shu was also vigilant in his heart.

When the dwarf was preparing to repeat his old trick for the third time, he went around the rear again to attack Xu Shu.

Xu Shu, who had long been guarding against him, suddenly abandoned the gun and instantly rose into the air.

And at a speed like lightning, he pulled out a horizontal knife from behind and slashed it down sharply.

Startled by this sudden move, the gnome hurriedly blocked, trying to dodge to the side.

But Xu Shu changed his tricks again in an instant.

With a slash, the dwarf's right arm fell along with the large knife as tall as the others.

"I thought you had a lot of ability, but it turned out to be in this way!" Xu Shu sneered, put the horizontal knife on the dwarf's neck, and dragged him to stand up, "Stop me, otherwise, I will take off his head!" ”

The battle came to an abrupt halt in an instant, and those brought by the dwarf slowly retreated vigilantly, a little at a loss.
