Chopper was excited, reacted, and immediately bowed his head and said respectfully: "Master, it's me, Chopper." ”

"Come in. The voice inside said.

Chopper eagerly lifted the cloth of the big tent, which was simply furnished, even a little shabby, for it was already evening, and although a candle was lit in the tent, it was still dim.

And the man standing in the middle was thin, dressed in cotton clothes, and his back was not very tall, but he had a scribe's style, but ...... Didn't you say that the master was receiving guests? At this moment, there was no one else in the tent, could it be that the guests had already left?

The man turned his head, and Chopper hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, "Master......"

If Gao Changgong or Mulan were present at this moment, they would definitely be very surprised.

The person who was called "Master" by Chopper was actually Lu Ming, who was tortured in the dungeon of the Jianye Mission's mansion and was exiled by Mulan!

It's just that this former No. 2 person in the Great Wall Mission has now become the leader of the mountain bandits, and his status is very different, which is unimaginable.

Lu Ming put his hand behind him and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

"I ......" Chopper opened his mouth, but the original typed draft seemed to have been forgotten in an instant, I don't know what to say, tell the truth?

And half of the team is dead, what kind of responsibility should he bear?

Lu Ming didn't hear a response for a long time, suddenly turned around, looked Chopper up and down, and said indifferently, "You came back alone?"

Chopper's heart froze, and he didn't know where he was seen, so he hurriedly knelt down and said, "No, no, no...... Master, I didn't flee back alone, the situation has been defeated, I can only come back with six brothers, otherwise, I'm afraid that our entire team will have to die there. ”

Lu Ming looked down at Chopper condescendingly, his expression was not surprised, he just nodded slightly, and asked, "What about Zhang Tuo?"

"The leader is dead. ”

It should be dead.

Chopper thought of the scene when he left, and he didn't believe that the young man with the sword would let him go.

"Oh. Lu Ming's reply didn't sound humane, "This time, where are you going, and which caravan are you robbing?"

Qiao Ba lowered his head and said in a low voice: "The subordinates robbed the few houses according to the regulations of the master, and did not touch those big business houses." Originally, we had already controlled the situation, and the people in the dart game had been almost killed, but we didn't expect two evil stars to run out of the caravan......"

"Evil Star?" Lu Ming said with a slight frown.

"It was two young men, about seventeen or eighteen years old. Chopper said, "One with a sword, one with two short sticks." The leader died at the hands of the man with the sword, and judging by his strength, he was even higher than the leader, and the leader single-handedly stopped him in order to let us escape, and this is ......"

"Single-handedly?" Lu Ming laughed, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes were deep, and he looked at Chopper, "I didn't know that Zhang Tuo had such heroic ambitions, and he would die for you, continue to ......"

Qiao Ba only felt a cold sweat behind his back, and said stubbornly: "We know that it will not help to go up to help, that young man's strength is far superior to that of the leader, so he can only come back and tell the master quickly." ”

He clenched his fists suddenly, and said, "Master, as long as you say it, Chopper will definitely take someone to kill him back, no matter how powerful that young man is, he is only one person, as long as I bring fifty people...... Thirty people...... He will die alone and under our arrows. ”

He said it rightly, but only he knew the real situation in his own heart. It's just that he finished saying this, but he didn't hear Lu Ming's answer, in front of him, Lu Ming seemed to be sluggish, just stood quietly and didn't say a word.

He saw Lu Ming's toes, waited for a long time, and finally couldn't help but follow Lu Ming's body upward, little by little, he finally saw Lu Ming's eyes flickering in the firelight.

He just looked at himself quietly, as if he were looking at an antique, and every breath made him creep.

After a while, Lu Ming said softly: "There are many lies. ”

Chopper's hair exploded suddenly, he understood that what he said didn't win Lu Ming's trust at all, every time he looked at him at the moment, every time his expression flickered, maybe he was thinking about how he should die?

Chopper kowtowed almost instantly, there were no floor tiles in the tent, just a relatively flat land, but there were a few hard stones in the soil, and at this moment he kowtowed like this, and soon the skin on his forehead broke and began to bleed.

But Chopper didn't care, and if he could, he could even kiss Lu Ming's instep - as long as Lu Ming could spare him from dying.

And Lu Ming looked at him coldly and said: "What I care about is not the fact that Zhang Tuo is dead, you will run away, and it is understandable to sell Zhang Tuo in order to save your life, after all, I know the nature of you mountain bandits...... It's just that I hate it when people are clever in front of me. ”

Chopper continued to kowtow vigorously and said, "Master...... Chopper knew he was wrong. ”

Lu Ming turned around and didn't bother to look at him: "Since you can still come back, at least it proves that you still know your catties." As for Zhang Tuo...... Dead is dead, dead have no value, you ...... It's still a little bit useful to me. I don't blame you for having two tough bones in the caravan that can only be regarded as bad luck on your part. ”

When Chopper heard this, his heart was overjoyed: "Thank you for your kindness......"

"Still. Lu Ming paced: "You dare to lie to me this time...... It cannot be tolerated. The little finger and ring finger of your left hand...... It's of no use to me, you can do it. ”

Chopper's eyes darkened, and he felt that he had fallen from the sky to the ground again, breaking his bones and breaking his bones.

He knelt on the spot and was stunned for a long time, one hand trembling to stroke his two fingers, indeed, he is not left-handed, his right hand may be because of the knife, every finger is indispensable, even the little finger, it has a huge impact.

And his left hand, with two fingers cut off, can still hold the reins, and shoot arrows with three strings......

It's just that this is my finger after all.

The expression on his face kept changing, one moment sad and one moment indignant, I don't know how long it took, he gritted his teeth and pulled out his knife suddenly!

With a terrible howl, the two "door gods" outside the big tent were startled, and hurriedly lifted the cloth of the big tent and ran in. When they saw clearly that the person who was howling was Chopper, who had just entered, and that his two fingers were bleeding on the ground, they didn't know what to say for a while.

Lu Ming paced to the tiger skin chair and sat down slowly, picked up the teacup, and looked calm: "Take him down to bandage." ”

And Chopper's face was pale, and while enduring the severe pain, he knelt on the spot again, kowtowed heavily, and was helped up and walked out by the two.

Lu Ming looked at the firelight, the big tent was empty, and he said softly, "Who is behind you?"

In the thick darkness in the corner of the tent, a figure slowly stood up, like a ghost, and he walked out of the darkness, half of his face illuminated by the firelight.

John doe.

"You should ask, who do we serve. Li Si said quietly.

"I've always stayed away from you as a being. Lu Ming shook his head and said, "But don't think I really don't know anything about you. Serving the gods? Where are there really gods in this world? You are just a bunch of liars, the only difference is that you don't just lie to others, you lie to yourself. ”

"Maybe you misunderstand us. The expression on Li Si's face was as cold as Lu Ming's, and he said, "But there is still a lot of time for you to understand in the future, as long as you ...... You join us. ”

He stepped out of the shadows, but his steps were as slow as a lazy old cat, and he did not make any sound, and he walked like this until he measured the whole tent with his footsteps along the edge of the tent, and he looked up and said: "In the middle of the size, is it possible that Brother Lu wants to bury his talent in this way? In such a place, when a bandit leader, even if he has more men and more goods, what can he do?"

Lu Ming half-closed his eyes, of course he knew, he always knew that there was still a fire in his heart, and he still wanted to see the future he hoped for, but ......

"I don't have much talent. Lu Ming closed his eyes a little tiredly, "I'm just a homeless wild dog, you think too highly of me......"

"We never look at the wrong person. Li Si looked at Lu Ming calmly and said: "There is a fire in Brother Lu's heart, it has not been extinguished, General Mulan does not understand Brother Lu, but in this world, not only the Great Wall is the destination of Brother Lu." ”

"General Mulan...... Mulan has her own reasons for banishing me, and I have never blamed her from beginning to end, and it is precisely because she is such a person that I will do everything to serve...... Even if your hands are stained with blood, even if your bones are broken...... As for the fire in my heart, even if I want to light it, that person should not be you, or you. Lu Ming simply leaned back in the chair, waved his hand casually and said, "Mr. Li, please forgive Lu for not taking good care of me, I'm tired, please take care of yourself." ”
