The mountain road is breezy and the towering ancient trees shade the midday sun.

Liu Tugou straddled the tiger, gently swaying on the tiger's back, a little drowsy.

It's just that this laziness can't hide the heroic posture of the young man, and it's no wonder that anyone riding on the back of a huge and hideous red tiger will inevitably give people a sense of arrogance.

The red tiger's back is extremely broad, even if it walks on the undulating mountain road, it is still extremely stable, and it will not make the person on his back feel how to be bumpy, Rao is so, this king of the mountain still seems to tremble, walking quite carefully.

Xiao Xuanqi glanced at Liu Tugou, shook his head and said, "Brother Liu, you have been here to rest in Baima Village for a few days, and you think that the prince will be summoned soon, and then you will ride it to the palace?"

Liu Tugou yawned, and said as a matter of course: "That's not it, you can't go on foot?" Brother Xiao, if you don't mention it, I almost forgot, before entering Beijing, I should go to thank the prince." The black crow guard lives in the White Horse Village, and it is also a lot of money for people to eat and chew horses. ”

The owner of the White Horse Village was a little crying and laughing when he heard this, such a young master who was not stingy crashed headlong into the land of right and wrong in Beijing, and he didn't know how much wind and waves it would set off.

Liu Tugou smiled when he saw this, and he was also much more energetic: "Brother Xiao, when we set off last night, there were really some people peeping inside and outside this White Horse Village, and it wasn't a day or two since I thought about it, did you look upset?"

Xiao Xuanqi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Liu Tugou to ask this question, and said with a smile: "This is all an ordinary thing, not to mention upset or not, you also have a thousand brothers under your hand, is it possible that they are all loyal?"

Liu Tugou laughed: "In this world, I'm afraid I can't find a messy battalion like the Black Crow Guard, people's hearts are like ghosts, and I never force those who are loyal or disloyal." ”

"Oh, you can see it thoroughly, but there is no shortage of loyal people in this world, and you can't generalize. ”

The owner of the White Horse Village became interested and asked: "I want to ask for the brothers who follow you behind me, the entry into Beijing is imminent, the future is uncertain, how are you going to rule the army?"

Xiao Xuanqi asked Liu Tugou about the way to govern the army, in fact, he was asking him how to deal with the chaos of people's hearts.

Liu Tugou Huo Ran turned around: "Bai Hangu, you are from the Jiangmen and know the best way to govern the army, can you tell me?"

Bai Hangu looked at the second master with a pair of cold eyes, and said concisely: "The way to govern the army is nothing more than to meet it with favor, to lure it with profit, to bind it with law, and to fear it with death, so that the sergeant will forget his life and death and become a prince. One will succeed in ten thousand bones, which is also said. ”

Xiao Xuanqi was stunned for a moment, and secretly said that this is also a character who cannot be reasoned with, obviously he knows the mystery of this, and he wants to announce it in front of the public, and teach those soldiers to hear, isn't this self-inflicted?

Liu Tugou thought it was true: "I started with a hundred bitter prison prisoners, from 500 blood to 1,000 black crows, it has only been a few months, but hundreds of brothers have been killed one after another, especially under Jincheng Pass, some of them are powerless for me to save, and some of them sit back and watch them die in battle, do you know why?"

His voice was not high, but it was fluttering, and it was still clearly audible far away.

Up and down the mountain road, black crows near and far are holding their breath and listening silently.

Xiao Xuanqi said with a straight face: "Why?"

"In the world of life, there has always been a lonely walk, and I don't know how many people have fallen and died nameless, and how many people can smell wealth and wealth, and how many people can be free and detached?

"There are some things that I have only said to the first hundred brothers, and some of them have been heard by the entire Blood Tang Camp, and now that most of them have been added, I might as well say a few more words. ”

"Whoever enters my black crow, no matter whether he lives or dies, he will bring on himself in disguise. What I have learned, as long as you dare to learn, I am willing to teach, and your enmity is also my enmity. With benefits, whoever is whomever is whoever. This is not what Rausch son met with kindness and lured by profit, let alone asked anyone to be grateful to Dade for repaying him with death. ”

"Everyone lives a life of licking blood from the knife edge, and I can't make a face to say anything unkind to the military law, not all the way, sooner or later they will part ways, and those who are blessed will die on the road sooner or later. ”

"What about the second master, I either pull it, or just go my own way, and the same is true for you, this is all my duty, no one can count on anyone, and no one can complain about anyone. I just hope that when he looks back one day, if Liu Tugou can still see a few familiar faces, then he will be satisfied. ”

The voice gradually dissipated between the mountains and forests, but a gloomy and desolate atmosphere lingered.

Xiao Xuanqi was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "What a ruthless person! Xiao also met a real master hermit when he was a young ranger, but he never cultivated the Heavenly Dao that was too forgetful, and he was only willing to roll in this red dust, so that the years were wasted, and he no longer had the luxury of supernatural powers in this life, and he never imagined that you could have such a Dao heart at a young age." ”

Ren Xichou's eyes were blazing, but he secretly said in his heart: "This is the Dao Heart, and it is the Demon Heart!" If it weren't for the fact that I was the only one left in the Northern Sect, and the Lord was not a descendant of the Southern Sect, I would almost mistake him for the same sect. I don't know who taught such a master?"

Yang Xiongji shouted: "What the second brother said is reasonable, Ci is not in charge of the army, where are the immortals in the war, can they all be saved? Standing here today, who doesn't know what kind of character he is? Whether he has big ambitions or small abacus, if he gets along, he will be a partner, and if he can't get along, he will break up!"

This guy said that he would swing the halberd horizontally, staring around and looking, and whoever dared to break up would immediately swing the halberd and slaughter it.

Liu Tugou grinned: "Speaking of which, compared to you, it is my white horse that has been with me the longest, and I don't want to have a day of separation." ”

He raised his head and looked at the dense canopy of ancient trees on his side: "Little brother, you and I meet today, I don't know what kind of fate it is?"

The lush branches trembled, revealing the thin figure of a young man, revealing his upper body, his skin was scorched, and his muscles and bones were very different from ordinary people, giving people the feeling of copper skin and iron bones.

"My lord, my name is Tan Shu, do you want someone from the Black Crow Guard?"

Although Tan Shu was asking Liu Tugou, his eyes were always staring at the slaughtering knife, scorching and shining, as if it was burning with flames.

Liu Tugou seemed to feel something, and said in surprise: "You ......"

Tan Shu waved his hand again and again and said: "It's good that adults know in their hearts, although my strength is low, I can still be a sword servant." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cold snort, and following the voice, he saw that it was a young man about the same age as him, with a silent and cold temperament, and carrying a dark iron long knife.

The legendary story of Liu Tugou's former knife servant who led five hundred horsemen to defect has long been spread in Baima Village, Tan Shu naturally recognized Liu Quai, and said with a smile at the moment: "You can't be a knife servant, it's good to be a tiger slave with a whip and stirrups, you can't serve this horseman like a horseman, I have thick skin and thick flesh, and I have enough strength to suppress it." ”

As soon as these words came out, many black crows showed disbelief, the red tiger was comparable to the peak master of qi training, and even surpassed, only under the grandmaster, although this young man practiced horizontal kung fu into his bones, but there was no half of the aura fluctuation around his body, I am afraid that he does not even have the realm of qi training, and he is not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue.

Liu Tugou didn't speak, in this young man who suddenly appeared, he sensed a very mysterious charm, just like when he recast the slaughtering knife that day, he accidentally realized the half-understood meaning of spring thunder from that half of the ancient sword, but it was a little different, this young man and the meaning of spring thunder seemed to be diametrically opposed, restraining each other.

He thought about it, lowered his eyes and glared at Tan Shu suddenly, a pair of eyes were full of purple spirit, full of spring thunder, and the slaughtering knife then struggled, as if it was about to be unsheathed, and a touch of purple light appeared on the body of the knife that no one could see.

Tan Shu screamed, his hair stood on end, his whole body stiffened, and he fell straight from the canopy.

Xiao Xuanqi's face was strange, this scene was really familiar.

The mandrill crouching on horseback behind him laughed and gloated.

Tan Shu slammed it on the ground, and then got up like a person who was fine, with a very happy smile on his face.

This time, he didn't look at the slaughtering knife, but stared at Liu Tugou tightly, and said very seriously: "My lord, as long as you can stare at me like this every day, I will definitely be dead set on whipping and stirrups for you, and there will be no two hearts!"
