Chapter 357: Into the Tiger's Den
"This is the Rakusakura, the hiding place of the Hyakuri River. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
"Bailichuan is really insidious and cunning, scheming, hiding in such a broken place where birds don't lay eggs, who can find him, an old bastard!"
"No matter how insidious and cunning he is, no matter how cunning and scheming he is, hasn't he still been able to escape the tracking of our jade-faced mad knife?"
"Who am I, I'm the omnipotent Ke Liuyun! Do you think I've been a fool in the rivers and lakes for so many years?"
"Yes, yes, yes! You're the best in the world, and you're the best in the world. β
"Hey, Huaiyan...... What are you saying the guy in the back is muttering? Endless ......."
After saying goodbye to the Flame Gate, Gu, Ruan, Ke and the other three traveled all the way to the hiding place of Bailichuan-Luoying Gorge. Along the way, Ke Liuyun kept pulling Gu Huaiyan to chat with him, and Ruan Zhinan followed the two like a child.
Even if he couldn't talk to the two of them, Ruan Zhinan's mouth was not idle, he kept muttering words that no one could hear or understand.
It wasn't until Ke Liuyun walked up to him and patted him that he suddenly came back to his senses: "Have we arrived? Where is Bailichuan?"
Gu Huaiyan pointed to the hill in front of him and said, "We have indeed arrived at Bailichuan's lair, but there are only three of us on this trip, so we must not act rashly, check the form first and then make other plans." β
Across the hill, the three of them quietly hid behind a pile of adobe walls to check on the situation. In front of the three of them were more than 30 turquoise tents, each of which was guarded by more than a dozen soldiers in brown armor and black helmets.
Looking at the soldiers coming and going and the tents that couldn't see any difference, Ruan Zhinan couldn't help but ask: "There are so many tents, which one is Baili River?"
"Let's look for them one by one! If you can't do it, you will kill them all one by one! A group of people who help and abuse will not be distressed when they die. β
Ke Liuyun immediately gave an answer, but was opposed by Gu Huaiyan.
"There are only three of us, and there are more than three hundred of them outside the tent alone, and there may be as many as there are inside. Moreover, none of us can guarantee that there will be no masters in it.
If you look for them one by one, as you say, you will meet them in battle. Even if we are sure enough to defeat them, it will not be a matter of time.
If Bailichuan takes advantage of the chaos to escape, it will be even more difficult to find his place to stay. β
Ruan Zhinan nodded in agreement: "We must not show up easily, otherwise we will only startle the snake." β
"Well, or not...... We're just waiting here for him to show up?" After saying this, Ke Liuyun himself also showed an incredible expression.
Sure enough, the next moment Ruan Zhinan raised an objection: "Wait? When do we have to wait? If that Baili River doesn't come out for three or five days in a row, will we just keep waiting? I'm afraid that if the bad guys are not killed by then, we will starve to death here first." β
Ke Liuyun frowned a little impatiently: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work...... What do you say? Shall we go up and ask the soldiers, 'May I ask you in which tent is your master hiding?'
"Liuyun is right, let's go and ask directly. β
Ke Liuyun's whining words were unexpectedly approved by Gu Huaiyan: "In the current form, we can neither break in nor wait...... Isn't there a saying that if you can't get into a tiger's den, you can get a tiger?"
Hearing this, Ke Liuyun became anxious: "I was talking nonsense just now, how could they tell us Bailichuan's place so easily?"
Ruan Zhinan patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Of course, you can't ask anything if you ask directly, but we can change our identities!"
"Change, change identity?" At this moment, Ke Liuyun was already in a fog, and he couldn't understand what these two people were talking about.
Before he could react, Gu and Ruan had already knocked out the three patrolling soldiers and dragged them all behind the adobe wall.
It wasn't until Gu and Ruan reached out to untie the soldiers' clothes that Ke Liuyun showed a look of sudden realization, and then looked at the two of them with great admiration: "You two are so smart that you actually came up with the trick of stealing beams and changing pillars." β
As soon as the three of them came out from behind the adobe wall, one of the soldiers pointed at them and shouted, "You three don't patrol well, what are you doing there with the pestle? Isn't your skin itching and you want to be boarded? Believe it or not, I will tell the Lord and slaughter all three of you!"
Looking at the soldier in front of him who was no different from their clothes and weapons, and looked around again, Gu Huaiyan said in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "Have you noticed, we are not the only group patrolling. β
Ruan Zhinan whispered: "I found out...... There were about a dozen or so groups, but without exception they were all groups of three. β
After looking around, Ke Liuyun muttered with great dissatisfaction: "It's unreasonable, so many lazy people don't work, why are they only targeting the three of us." β
After nodding, Gu Huaiyan continued to add: "There are so many groups of patrolling soldiers, but this person only dares to be arrogant to the three of us...... In my opinion, most of the reason is that the three people we knocked out were newcomers. β
In the short time that the three of them were discussing in a whisper, the man pointed at them again and roared, "What about you guys, don't you pretend not to hear?
The three of them were busy pretending to be angry: "The eldest brother is angry! The younger brothers are all new and don't know the rules...... In the future, you still expect your eldest brother to take care of it. β
The man straightened out his palm to the three of them: "It's good to know that you are new! It's not difficult for me to take care of you, show me some sincerity first." β
After glancing at each other, Ke Liuyun reluctantly took out some broken silver from his arms and handed it over, but there was still a smile on his face: "Little care, please accept it with a smile...... I wonder if the younger brothers will have a chance to serve the Lord?"
After smiling and putting up the broken silver, the man stretched out his hand and pointed to a tent not far away: "Do you see the tent in front of you with a turquoise jewel? If you're lucky, you might be able to take a look at the old man when the Lord is out of courtesy. β
Receiving such important news, the three of them hurried towards the tent with excitement.
Everyone seems to know that they are new and good to bully. As soon as they saw them, three of the burly-looking soldiers forced them to guard the place on their behalf, while they snuck aside to enjoy themselves.
If you change to someone else, you are afraid that you will be miserable, but for Gu Huaiyan and them, this is a good thing that they can't ask for.
After rolling his eyes, Ke Liuyun took out some broken silver again and contributed it to the remaining eight soldiers: "Brothers, you have worked hard, hurry up and use this little money to buy two pots of wine and treat yourself! β
Afraid that these people would be suspicious, Ruan Zhinan also took out some silver and walked up: "We are new here, I hope you big brothers can give us more opportunities to serve the Lord." β
Gu Huaiyan also followed the example of the two of them and carried out some "bribery": "Yes, if one day the younger brothers will soar in the future, they will definitely not forget the kindness of the eldest brothers today." β
Joyfully accepting the money from the three of them, the eight soldiers walked happily to their respective tents, and talked as they went.
"Do you think that guy wants to shoot the lord on the back and wants to go crazy?"
"In my opinion, they're not crazy, they're stupid......!
"They are fools! They are so naΓ―ve that they think that they can be favored by guarding the door for the Lord, which is whimsical!"
"Let's come back as soon as we finish drinking, if the Lord finds out that we are lazy, we will die!"
"Well, that's right, let's go and get back!"
β......β
The conversations of the soldiers were all listened to by the three of them, and Ke Liuyun was the first to sigh: "It's really terrible! I don't know what the three people who were knocked out did in their previous lives, and they met such a group of heartless guys." β
Ruan Zhinan then added: "Perhaps, the happiest time in their lives was the moment when we knocked them out. β
Gu Huaiyan shook his head slightly: "As long as Bailichuan dies, they will no longer have to suffer this kind of grievance." β
"Well, that makes sense. Ruan and Ke nodded in unison.
After chattering, the three of them clinged to the tent and looked inside. The furnishings inside looked luxurious, but there were only two people in the whole tent.
A middle-aged man with dark skin and a goatee was babbling something, and with his back to the three was a man with black and white hair.
What is particularly striking is that the right sleeve of this person is empty and attached to the body. There is no suspense, this person is undoubtedly Bailichuan.
At this time, the three of them were thinking about the same thing: this trip was not in vain.
The Baili River in the tent did not infect the joy of the three of them at all, but frowned and sighed uncontrollably: "I don't know if my hard-working daughter is still in the world...... She innocently slapped me that day, and even if she is still alive, she will hate me to the bone!
If there is a fate to see her again, I don't know if she is still willing to recognize me, a father who cruelly abandoned her. β
Hearing this, the military advisor immediately responded: "The Lord is a person who does great things, so naturally he has to abandon all the worldly shackles. β
Bai Lichuan shook his head vigorously and denied: "The military advisor's words are wrong! Luo Hua is my own flesh and blood, and her only relative in this world! How could she be my bond? It is my long-standing concern that I can't let go." β
The military advisor smiled unkindly and said: "The Lord doesn't have to be sad, even if the eldest lady dies, it will be a well-deserved death! He is the daughter of the Lord, and he has been nurtured by you for many years, and it is right to die for you."
If you are unfortunate enough to die, that is the greatest regret of the world...... The so-called father-daughter relationship is all false, and only the endless gold and silver treasures and the power in the hands are real and reliable. β
After being silent for a while, Bailichuan said in a muffled voice: "The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to say more...... If I had to choose again, I would do it anyway.
In the end, I, the father, can't stand her, and when I kill the Demon Emperor and Gu Huaiyan and others, I will build a gorgeous mound for my Luohua. β
Gu Huaiyan, who was outside the tent, couldn't help but feel a little chilled and annoyed for Baili Luohua after hearing the conversation between the two: "I never thought of it...... There is such a ruthless and ruthless father in the world. For the sake of power and desire, he repeatedly gave up his daughter, but he also knew that Luo Hua was his biological flesh and blood.
Even if he won the world, he lost his loved ones, and no one shared his joy and sorrow with him...... What's the point of all this?"
After some emotion, Gu Huaiyan couldn't help but think of his mother, Hua Xuanjue.
Although she has not been taken care of by her side for a day, she is definitely a qualified, competent, and great good mother, and a good master who is rare in the world.
If she hadn't sacrificed her life that day, the person who died under Bailichuan's hands would have been Liu Yanxue.
Liu Yanxue died, and Gu Huaiyan's half life was gone. Hua Yingjue not only kept her apprentice, but also kept the future and hope of her own son.
In contrast, even if the word "bastard" is used to describe Bailichuan's personality, Gu Huaiyan feels that he is insulting the word "bastard", he is not worthy of being a person at all.
Bailichuan in the tent didn't realize that someone was eavesdropping outside, and continued to discuss with the military advisor: "When I was down, thanks to you for saving my life. I am here to assure you that as long as I return to the helm of the martial arts, all the wealth will be yours!"
"Hehe......" The military advisor said with a smile: "The Lord is too polite! You are even willing to give away the ancestral jade pendant of Mrs. Zun, how can I not do my best for the Lord!"
After a pause, the military advisor said, "I know that the Lord only wants power and status...... But this treasure of gold and silver! subordinates dare not be greedy, and they are already very content if they can own half of it. β
Facing the military advisor in front of him, who regarded money as his life, Bailichuan smiled extremely exaggeratedly, but he had already hidden a murderous intention in his heart: "That jade pendant is not only the heirloom of Luo Hua's mother, but also her dowry when she married Renyi Villa." Of course, you are content with such a precious thing.
As long as this day is in hand, as long as Gu Huaiyan and the Demon Emperor die...... I'll send your insatiable villain underground to bury my Luohua right away!"
It's really ironic, it's clear that he's not a good thing, but he still has the face to call others villains.
However, there are many such people. They often don't see their own shortcomings, but they are always habitually lenient with themselves and strict with others.
Compared with the generations of Bailichuan, it can be said that it is more than equal.
