Chapter 321: Hello, cannon fodder

readx;? I just asked casually. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But there is a problem, Wen Hou lives in a simple place on weekdays, except for going to the palace to see the emperor, he rarely shows up in the Divine Capital City, and the Heavenly Master's Mansion is heavily guarded, it is not easy to kill him.

Nameless said that this might be the case in normal times, but these days, he trains slaves in the hunting horse farm and prepares to participate in the gladiatorial competition of the Oni Festival, and the chances are much better than ever.

I asked Nameless, Wen Hou is the Great Zhou Heavenly Master, how powerful is his martial arts, how does it compare to that brother of yours?

Nameless Dao: Killing people is a technical job, three points rely on martial arts, six points rely on resourcefulness, and one point depends on luck. I believe that with your two skills, you will never be stupid enough to rush in front of him and assassinate him.

I sighed, is it true that if we don't agree, you're going to kill both of us? But if we kill him, how can you promise not to kill us?

Nameless said that I swear in the name of Emperor Wu.

I pouted and said, now I swear that this thing is the least valuable, and I can buy dozens of catties for ten cents on the street. Nameless's face sank when he heard this, are you trying to force me to kill you now?

I said that there is a condition, if we kill Wen Hou, you must find a way to help us rescue Chun Yu Mingyue.

When I returned to the inn, it was early in the morning. Liu Qingfeng got a bunch of paper money out of nowhere, and while burning it, he said, Sanguan, I'm sorry for you, I shouldn't let you face the nameless alone. I'll burn this money to you, and when you get there, you don't have enough food and drink, so you can tell me in a dream.

I stepped forward and kicked the paper money away, are you pretending to be asleep? Liu Qingfeng said I knew that Nameless would not attack you easily. I don't want to think about who your master is!

I said that although he didn't kill me, he forced us to kill Wen Hou, which is no different from sending him to death. Liu Qingfeng said that I thought our martial arts were very high, but when I met Wu last night, I realized that I was a frog at the bottom of the well.

I jokingly said, isn't it that you are crying and shouting that you want to come to the Northern Zhou Dynasty and kill the nameless, why are you admitting it now. Liu Qingfeng smiled, this time and that time. My advantage is that I am more rational, able to recognize the situation clearly, and will not be swayed by external objects.

I said I'd take over the job of killing Wen Hou.

Liu Qingfeng said, that's the Ming National Teacher, it's not professional for us to do the assassination, why don't you pack your luggage and leave here quickly?

Uh, I decided to tell the truth, Chun Yu Mingyue was captured by Wen Hou's people, and Nameless said that Wen Hou would burn her to death at the Ghost Festival and sacrifice the Ghost King.

When Liu Qingfeng heard this, he almost jumped up, what? Turning around and going back to the house, he pulled out the Lu Long Sword, and was about to go to Wen Hou to fight hard.

I even stopped and said, the Heavenly Master's Mansion is full of talents, and the masters are like clouds, aren't you known for your rationality? Liu Qingfeng said that Yue was arrested, and I can't control it so much.

I said again, the assassination is not professional, let's pack up and leave. Liu Qingfeng swore that if he didn't rescue Mingyue, he wouldn't kill Wen Hou, and he wouldn't leave if he killed me.

Liu Qingfeng calmed down, we decided to think about it in the long run, found Daxi, asked for a map of Wenhou's mansion, and inquired about Wenhou's character, temper, and living habits.

As Liu Qingfeng said, killing people is a technical job, and in the next two days, we will understand the basic situation of Wen Hou in an all-round way, and even know when he is urinating and urinating. The more we know, the more sure we are of the assassination plan.

After observing for two days in a row, Wen Hou went out every day at midnight and went to the hunting horse farm outside the city.

The Northern Zhou magnates and nobles all had the habit of raising gladiators, these gladiators were trained warriors, some were slaves, some were prisoners snatched from the Ming Dynasty, and some were free men with martial arts, selling themselves to the nobles for money.

In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, according to the custom of the Ghost Festival, all nobles had to send a team of gladiators to fight in Peterplatz, and the winning team would receive the highest honor. Recently, Wen Hou took his disciples to the hunting horse arena to train gladiators and achieve a good ranking in duels.

After two days of observation, Liu Qingfeng and I came to a conclusion that this was an impossible task, Wen Hou was accompanied by two first-class masters every day when he went out, and he was also a first-class master.

If we forcibly assassinate, as long as his subordinates resist one and a half moves, if Wen Hou escapes, unless Emperor Wu makes a move, I'm afraid no one will be able to stop him.

As for Chun Yu Mingyue, it should be locked in a prison in the house, and there are people outside who are strictly guarded, and it is even more difficult to save people.

On this day, I went to the place where I left the secret message to find out the news, and the spy agents lurking in the Northern Zhou still did not move, and I couldn't help but be discouraged, maybe even they were caught in the net. When I returned to the inn, I drank a cup of tea, and I saw Liu Qingfeng coming back in a hurry, pulling me and saying, I found a way!

I asked what was going on.

Liu Qingfeng said that a few slaves had died in the hunting horse farm of Wenhou Mansion, and now Wenhou is posting a notice in Shendu City to recruit free people as gladiators, why don't we take this opportunity to blend in?

I said that this is not good, we are righteous citizens of the Ming Dynasty, and we are dignified first-class masters, how can we participate in this kind of duel

Liu Qingfeng said Sanguan, you are not a brother when I am a brother?

I said it depends.

My Chun Yu Mingyue, your brother and sister, is now in a desperate situation, can you bear to watch her being burned alive on the pillar as a witch?

I said you're not a good lobbyist, and I promise you is. But Ouyang thank you and Shangguan Hello, these two know us, if it is not easy to tolerate, this matter is easy to help.

Liu Qingfeng took my hand, this is my brother.

I was extremely reluctant to take out the few remaining dough faces, and I originally wanted to use them when the rivers and lakes were in emergency. Liu Qingfeng picked a handsome young man's face and said that I am handsome, and I can use this to show my identity.

When I say that the killer industry is low-key, the more publicized it is, the faster it will die. Liu Qingfeng was right when he heard it, and the two of them each picked a plain-looking face, and I turned into a middle-aged yellow-faced man, and the pockmarked face he chose.

Came to the recruitment office, filled out the form, and handed it to a middle-aged man. The man looked at the two of us, Nan Mingren?

We say yes.

Jianghu people?

Be.

The middle-aged man asked again, have you ever killed someone?

I said in my heart that the two of us have killed a lot of people, and I will scare you to death when I say it, but I laughed in my mouth, I have killed a few.

The middle-aged man waved his pen, signed the form, and left his fingerprint.

The two of us looked at each other, it was so simple, on the way we came, we also discussed how many martial arts we wanted to show, but we didn't even ask about martial arts, and we were hired directly.

Liu Qingfeng asked, don't you need to take the school martial arts test?

The middle-aged man said impatiently, if you want to do it, you can do it, and if you don't do it, you can pull it down! Look carefully at the instructions at the back of the form, go to the side and get ten taels of silver, after the ghost festival, if you are still alive, there are still fifty taels.

The two of us picked up the form, and it was written on the back, cannon fodder contract, which was densely packed with a number of contract terms written in small letters.

Cannon fodder?

There were also seven or eight people who were selected together, one of them was thin and weak, and he looked like a young man who was powerless, called Dongfang Buliang, and he chatted on the road to find out that someone in his family was seriously ill and had no money to see a doctor, so he sold himself to the Heavenly Master's Mansion to participate in the Ghost Street Gladiatorial Contest.

Liu Qingfeng can talk to him quite well, what is our cannon fodder contract?

Dongfang Buliang smiled bitterly and said, our contract says that it is to be a gladiator for the Heavenly Master's Mansion, but in fact, it is a crowd tactic that consumes the cannon fodder of other gladiator teams. If you really go to the gladiatorial arena, it's hard to say whether you can survive the first round.

Liu Qingfeng said that my brother had never participated in a gladiatorial competition, so it was better for the little brother of Dongfang to come and hear it.

Dongfang Buliang briefly said the rules of the gladiatorial competition.

It turned out that the Ghost Festival gladiatorial competition was the most bloody link, and the eight nobles of Shendu City and various places sent eight teams of gladiators, each team of fifty people, stationed in the square in all directions, each side has a yellow corner flag, and there is a red flag in the center.

Eight teams fight each other, on the one hand, to ensure that the yellow flag is not lost, and on the other hand, to fight for the red flag. If the yellow flag is lost, even if it loses, all members of the gladiator team will be killed, and only the team that wins the red flag will win.

Liu Qingfeng asked, in this way, everyone only guards the yellow flag, ensures that it is not lost, and let the stronger party seize the red flag, isn't it okay?

Dongfang does not show the way, if this is the case, it will be easy to do, but the rule is that only if you win more than three yellow flags can you be eligible to compete for the red flag.

I said, "Isn't it true that no matter what, three or more teams will be wiped out?"

Dongfang Buliang continued: So we signed a contract of life and death, the training cost of gladiators of the aristocratic family is extremely expensive, in a team, the real gladiators, but more than ten people, like us, who are temporarily hired, are just to use those real gladiators as cannon fodder in the early stage, consuming the physical strength of the other party, so it is called a cannon fodder contract. However, once you win, the treatment is also good, the last champion is the Sha Jun of the Wanyan family, and all the people who survived were rewarded with one hundred taels of silver each, and even if they died in battle, they also had a pension of fifty taels.

I glanced at Liu Qingfeng, stretched out my hand and said, hello, cannon fodder! Liu Qingfeng laughed, you are good, cannon fodder!

When the middle-aged man saw us frolicking in the back, he threw a whip over and hit Dongfang Buliang on the head, what is the noise? Dongfang Buliang covered his forehead, and blood flowed.

Liu Qingfeng was about to come out, but he was even held back by Dongfang Undefeated.

When he came to the hunting horse farm, the middle-aged man rode on his horse and ordered everyone to stand in a row, saying, My name is Xie Long, nicknamed Death, from today on, you are a member of the Black Pearl Army of the Heavenly Master's Mansion. Remember, your role is cannon fodder!

I muttered, and was heard by Xie Long, you, out of the ranks.

I stood still, and the rest of the crowd took a step back, gloating at me.

What did you just say?

I looked at him and said "Instructor, I said I have a friend whose name is somewhat similar to yours."

There are many people with the same name and surname in the world, not to mention that they are just similar, by the way, your friend, what is it called?

I said Xie Delong, but your name is Xie Long, and there is a virtue missing in your name.

Xie Long nodded, I lack morality, think about it carefully, no, reaching out is a whip, I grabbed it casually, pulled it a little harder, pulled Xie Long off the horse, and fell a dog gnawing grass.

Xie Long was covered in dirt, he was furious, he got up, and turned against you!

I said instructor, we are here to be cannon fodder, not to quarrel.

Xie Long's eyes rolled, and he didn't know what he was thinking, he nodded, he didn't expect it to be a prickly head, waiting for you to feel better.

Someone came not far away and said thank you, Wen Hou is invited.

We looked around and saw that outside the enclosure, a middle-aged man in a big red robe was standing in the distance and watching, and several people were following closely around him. The middle-aged man in the red robe was handsome, fair-skinned, and had a feminine appearance.

Liu Qingfeng came over and said, this person's martial arts are no less than no surname. I nodded, and the two guards beside me were also masters of the first grade. Even if he is alone, I am afraid that we will not be able to keep him if we join forces.

Xie Long ran over in small steps, knocked his head on the ground, and said hello to the Heavenly Master.

Wen Hou spoke softly and softly, how are you preparing?

Xie Long said that more than a dozen big fighters were training alone, and today a new batch of cannon fodder has been recruited, and there are a few thorns, and they are preparing to repair it.

Wen Hou said, it's no problem to repair it, don't kill people, after all, it costs money. Good steel is used on the blade, and even if it dies, it must die in the gladiatorial arena.

Xie Longlian said obediently, the Heavenly Master taught him very much. Wen Hou explained a few words, saying that he was going to watch the training of the big fighters and left with a few people.

Liu Qingfeng sneered, this grandson's groveling appearance even I can't stand it. Wen Hou has fine skin and tender meat, I heard that he is good at double cultivation, and it will not be eaten by both men and women. By the way, Liu Qingfeng slapped his thigh and forgot one thing.

What the

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

I came out in a hurry today, and the inn forgot to check out. There is also a deposit.

I said that as far as you are frizzy, counting on you, you have been wrong for many years, and I have asked someone to give a letter to Daxi'er, so that he can help him take care of the saluting horses.

Liu Qingfeng said, I suddenly remembered that your birthday seems to be approaching, and I originally prepared a gift for you.

I said that the sun came out of the west, and Liu Qingfeng actually wanted to buy me a birthday present!

Liu Qingfeng scratched his head, it is not expensive, a few days ago, I passed by the stall and saw a copy of "Punctuation Usage", ready to buy it and give it to you.

Get lost!

We were placed in a training ground in the northeast part of the paddock, which was heavily guarded by high walls on three sides and a steep cliff on one side, so that no one could escape.

As long as Liu Qingfeng and I are willing, with the laws of space that we have realized, it is estimated that escaping from the cliff will not be a big problem. However, now that agreement with Emperor Wu, we have to calm down and look for opportunities.

When it was time for dinner, we were taken to a restaurant, more than a dozen big buckets were not far away to eat, Liu Qingfeng looked at the food, we were ordinary vegetarian soup, brown rice, a piece of meat per person, but the big bucket over there was enough beef and mutton, and his heart was extremely unbalanced, shouting to improve the food.

Xie Long stepped forward and knocked over Liu Qingfeng's food box, do you want to rebel? A few big buckets came over, and they all seemed to be masters of the fourth or fifth grade, full of murderous spirit, and they came up and snatched the meat from everyone's bowls, and they were still on the ground.

Xie Long pointed at Liu Qingfeng, listen, it's because of this kid, you don't have any meat to eat tonight!

Xie Long gave a few words to a few big fights, and vaguely said that no matter what the screams inside were, he would not open the door. Then he turned around and went out.

The cannon fodder looked at Liu Qingfeng, their faces full of anger, meaning that it's good to have something to eat, if you make such a fuss, everyone has no meat to eat.

This Xie Long is quite insidious, as soon as he came up to give everyone a dismount, and by the way, he also isolated Liu Qingfeng, it was originally a big fight to make trouble, but it turned out to be Liu Qingfeng causing trouble.

A man covered in scars came to Liu Qingfeng and said that you kid is quite kind. I don't know if the egg is hard or not.

Liu Qingfeng hugged his fist with the cannon fodder, I'm sorry.

The man with the scar said, "What about asking you, are you deaf?" Liu Qingfeng said I'll discuss something with you.

What's the matter, if there's a fart, let it go!

Liu Qingfeng said, I have anorexia, and I must eat meat to cure it.

A couple of big fighters laughed, are you crazy.

The man with the scar said, you have offended Xie Jiaotou, and you still want to eat meat, okay, I will let you eat meat! Reach out and pick up a chicken leg, throw it on the ground, and say to Liu Qingfeng, eat meat, eat it on the ground!

I reached out and picked up the chicken legs, wiped them in the mud a few times, and said that such a good thing, throwing it on the ground, is too wasteful.

The man with the scar said, you are the guy who made Xie Jiaotou ugly today. I said it's grandpa, what are you?

The scar man said, Lao Tzu is the dragon slaying road, with a name and a surname, not a thing. No, you're not a fucking thing. Brothers, beat him up for me.

The screams were repeated, and Tulongdao was chased and beaten by me and Liu Qingfeng, ran to the door of the restaurant, and shouted while slamming the door, open the door, open the door!

The door is always closed.

Several big buckets were also put to the ground by both of us, and the voice of the dragon slayer was hoarse, lying on the ground and pretending to be dead. Liu Qingfeng asked with a smile, can we eat meat.

The dragon slayer was silent.

Liu Qingfeng got a kitchen knife from the kitchen and took a look at Tulongdao, can you eat meat? Tulongdao shouted like a pig, you can eat, you can eat!

Liu Qingfeng looked back at the cannon fodder, I invite everyone to eat meat! Everyone looked at Liu Qingfeng, dumbfounded, where did they dare to go to eat that meat.

I threw the chicken leg to him, and Liu Qingfeng caught it, come, good, please eat the chicken leg!

Liu Qingfeng drew another one on his chest, please eat, you still pick and choose. With tears in his eyes, Tu Longdao ate the mud-stained chicken thighs and retched.

Do you know what to say in a moment?

Tu Long Dao said, know know, know.

Liu Qingfeng let him go, and when a few big fighters saw that they encountered hard stubble, they didn't dare to say anything.

After a while, Xie Long estimated that the time was almost up, and he was afraid that he would make a fuss, and it would be difficult to deal with the owner, so he pushed the door and entered, and was dumbfounded when he saw the scene.

What's going on?," Xie Long asked.

Dragon Slayer said that I was playing a game with a few newcomers just now, and I accidentally fell and got covered in mud.

Xie Long was suspicious, seeing the blood flowing from the upper half of the dragon's body, he frowned and said, what is going on?

Dragon Slayer glanced at Liu Qingfeng, Liu Qingfeng clenched his fists, and waited for Dragon Slayer Dao to take a look, Dragon Slayer Dao swallowed and refused to speak.

Xie Long stiffened his face and asked you what's the matter!

Dragon Slayer Dao Nuo Nuo Dao, everyone thinks the tattoo on my body is not good-looking, just now I took a kitchen knife and modified it, which is much more pleasing to the eye.
