Chapter 218 Chapter 218: Thirteenth Brother [Asking for monthly votes]
Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, Shen Tang showed no signs of timidity.
She held up her hands and said: "Junior Shen Tang has met Mr. Gu."
Shen Tang didn't know Gu Ren's position or status, and had no friendship with him, so he chose the conservative title.
Gu Ren smiled slightly and said: "You are so polite, little friend. Please sit down."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu."
Shen Tang glanced at the vacant seat in the tent, the young man raised his hand to lift up the hem of his clothes slightly, and sat down on Gu Ren's lower right, without feeling that there was anything wrong with the position he was sitting on. Appropriate.
Qi Shan sat down behind Shen Tang.
Gu Chi secretly raised his eyebrows and followed suit.
Gu Ren did not say a word, but one of the two strangers spoke, saying: "You, a young man, are so frivolous and rude——"
Shen Tang looked at him following the sound and thought to himself that he was confused. While reflecting that he had done nothing extraordinary, he asked nonchalantly: "Why is this junior so frivolous and rude?"
Gu Chi: "..."
He bet with Qi Shan’s heart——
Shen Lang definitely did it on purpose.
This is just like beating someone in the street until their nose was black and swollen, crying for father and mother, and the person who was beaten asked Shen Lang why he beat him, and Shen Lang said "innocently" "Hey, why are you crying?" ".
Seats are not something you sit in vain.
Shen Lang was in someone else's territory, and he took the second seat after his master as soon as he came up - visually speaking, this second seat should be the second among the thirteen brothers - and with such a young appearance, he would naturally be attracted by others See it as "frivolous and rude".
The man still wanted to argue, but Gu Ren calmed him down with an understatement: "The visitor is a guest, and the seventh brother must not be rude."
The seventh brother asked: "Aren't they the ninth brother? Brother brought it back?”
Shen Tang This person is a "foreign fool and traitor". He looks harmless and says: "Yes, we are here with your ninth brother. However, we came voluntarily and were not captured. How can we not be guests? Since we are guests , of course, we must treat guests with courtesy.”
I didn't realize it at first, but I soon realized it.
She is not a captive prisoner...
What's wrong with taking a second seat?
The seventh brother just snorted coldly.
Shen Tang: “…”
Compared with this "seventh brother" who has a somewhat aggressive temper, the eldest brother Gu Ren is quite gentle and easy to talk to. He does not show off his superiority and arrogance because of Shen Tang's young age. Instead, he is approachable and approachable like the uncle next door, without any airs.
Gu Ren asked many details about Xiaocheng.
Although he had already heard the news about Xiaocheng being breached from his ninth brother, hearing it from Shen Tang, a person who had experienced it personally, made him feel completely different. The atmosphere in the main tent was a little solemn until the "seventh brother" asked: "What are you worried about?"
Shen Tang: "..."
The "seventh brother" said harshly again He said gruffly and matter-of-factly: "Isn't it enough to just disinfect those rebels and take back Xiaocheng?"
Gu Ren had no choice but to scold softly: "Seventh brother, don't let the distinguished guests see the joke. How can it be such a simple thing to attack a city and seize territory? Especially that young man named Gong Xiqiu, one person has the courage of ten thousand men. With him here, the rebels have nothing to fear."
The "Seventh Brother" curled his lips and muttered disdainfully.
"It's just the latest update of the thirteenth grade..."
When the three of them heard this, Shen Tang had different reactions.
Thirteenth grade update...
Only worthy of the description "just"?
Shen Tang couldn't help but try to clear up Gong Xiqiu's name - he was a close friend who was hard to find even in mountains and rivers. When outsiders underestimated him, they also indirectly underestimated her, Shen Tang's aesthetics! She said: "The breakthrough in front of Gongxi Qiu's formation should be the fourteenth level right now."
The brave warriors are only twenty levels in total.
How old is Gong Xiqiu?
Genius among geniuses is not enough to describe him.
Even worthy of the word "monster"!
I wonder how rich this "seventh brother" is, can he say this to a 14th-level right guard? Humph, I am not good at my hands, but I am proud of my skills with my mouth. Shen Tang still had a harmless look on his face, as if he was saying something ordinary.
As for the heart——
Gu Chi listened with great interest.
As soon as Shen Tang said these words, the expression of the "seventh brother" changed slightly, but he still said harshly: "Humph! So what if we wait for fourteen times? We brothers can split gold and break jade together. . Even if the Fourteenth Right Geng comes, he will never come back! There are several other forces who responded to the edict. How difficult is it to take down the rebels and bring order to the chaos? "
Others did not echo the sentiment.
"Seventh Brother" said again: "We still have thirteenth brother."
Shen Tang was suspicious: "Does this general intend to swarm more than a dozen people? Or come? A wheel battle? "
The "seventh brother" turned dark when asked.
He asked in a rough voice: "Where are you standing, young man?"
Gu Ren had no choice but to come out to smooth things over again.
This sworn brother is good at everything, loyal and warm-hearted, but he has a bad temper. He hates others trying to argue with him. If he gets angry, he will even hit people regardless of the situation.
Back then, in a moment of anger, the seventh brother beat a certain gangster to death with three punches, ran away for several years, hid in XZ, and later became a bandit. Gu Ren was also robbed by him, but coincidentally, Gu Ren inadvertently rescued the widowed mother of his foster brother.
The old woman kept thinking of Gu Ren's kindness.
As a filial son, the "seventh brother" secretly went back to visit relatives. Every time he could hear his old mother talking about how kind Gu Ren was to their family, he naturally remembered it in his heart. Suddenly he learned that the person he robbed was his benefactor. He was ashamed and ashamed, and he knelt down to make atonement on the spot.
After that, Gu Ren gave him a false identity.
He used this false identity to work as an errand beside Gu Ren. He didn’t have to hide in hiding, but he could also provide for his old mother until she died...
Gu Ren was really worried that his seventh brother would run away on the spot.
After appeasing him, he asked Shen Tang about the information about Gong Xiqiu - knowing yourself and your enemy means you will never be in danger in a hundred battles. The more you understand, the greater your confidence in dealing with Gong Xiqiu. After hearing what happened to Captain Yang, he sighed: "It will be a pity in my life that I didn't have the chance to meet such a hero."
From an angle where no one was paying attention, Gu Chi frowned slightly.
From time to time, his eyes secretly glanced at Gu Ren.
One eye, two eyes, three eyes...
No, there is one exception.
Qishan's spare light moved seamlessly between Gu Chi and Gu Ren, lowered his eyelids, and suppressed the suspicion in his eyes.
Intuition told him that this Gu Ren was not simple.
Otherwise, Gu Wangchao would not have reacted like this.
The problem——
There is indeed one, not a small one.
Gu Ren is indeed a "benevolent man" with an excellent reputation.
When he learned that Shen Tang and others had difficulty walking with a seriously injured and comatose "martial arts master", he offered to retain them and let them recuperate in the camp for a few days. My sixth brother's medical skills cannot be said to be unparalleled in the world, but he is indeed a rare good doctor. With his care, the "martial arts master" can recover faster. Shen Tang didn't even know how to write the word "pleasant", and wanted to borrow someone from Gu Ren.
Borrowing someone for what?
Of course it is to inform Lili on the mountain.
Not only Li Li, but also the bandits she captured and brought back, the Bu Qu and the servant women she bought back from the mountain, as well as the wealth she robbed from the bandits. Except for the tax money, this is all her property. Naturally, Shen Tang couldn't lose these.
Borrow someone from Gu Ren to deliver the letter.
Xiaocheng is no longer safe and needs to be taken away and relocated.
Naturally, Gu Ren would not refuse any small request. For a while, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
But just at this moment, a burst of rapid and messy footsteps approached the main tent. The messenger didn't even take a breath and shouted: "Lord, it's not serious. Okay -"
Gu Ren did not scold him and asked slowly: "When will it be bad?"
The messenger said: "It's General Shaochong -"
Before the words could be finished, the expressions of several people present changed.
One after another they stood up eagerly and rushed out of the main tent.
The person in the sixth line directly used the spirit of "chasing the wind and sneaking into the scenery".
Shen Tang and the others followed them on the grounds of "worry".
Before approaching the destination, I heard an extremely shrill and terrifying scream. The scream also carried a powerful and powerful sound. The weaker ones were directly stunned, and those who were not fainted would also be stunned. Feeling of restless eardrums, nausea and vomiting, and even bleeding from the orifices.
Qishan and Gu Chi were secretly shocked: "It's so violent!"
It seemed like thousands of ghosts were howling and struggling.
The "Sixth Brother" who was the first to arrive took action directly, without any reservation, and as soon as he made his move, he unleashed several words of wisdom. The intertwined literary energy of black and white tightly wrapped up the source of the violence, but it only lasted for a moment before it was violently swept away. Gu Ren caught the sixth brother who was knocked away.
Said quietly: "Leave it to me."
Seeing Gu Ren take action, Gu Chi said in a low voice: "As expected."
Qishan asked: "What 'really so'?"
Gu Chi set up a small area to prevent prying eyes.
He said: "This Gu Ren's way of being a scribe is very special."
As a seasoned veteran, Gu Chi has rich experience in traveling. This is the first time he has encountered a scribe who can completely shield him. Taoist people.
He couldn't hear Gu Ren's heart.
And he was sure that Gu Ren also had a very special way of being a scribe, which was probably related to his unusual affinity.
I also guessed part of it in the next turn.
He said: "It's just the way of scribes..."
The implication -
It's just "the way of scribes" but not "the way of princes".
If this kind of affinity is the "way of princes", then he is really like a king. Anyone who sees him will have a good impression, and his chance of success in recruiting people is much higher than that of others. However, it is very scary to be like this -
Gu Renbai's twelve sworn brothers are good proof.
While the two were away from work, Gu Ren had already calmed down the source of his anger. Shen Tang was close and could clearly see that it was a young man locked in a fine iron cage that was about one foot long, high and wide. —
It’s not fair to call him a young man. The man was tall and tall like an adult, but his eyes were dark and pure, like a child of five or six years old.
Probably a boy of eighteen [nine] years old.
Now he was covered in blood, holding his head and rolling around in pain.
Looking at the heartache, Gu Ren took the key from his waist and opened the iron cage. Regardless of the obstruction of several foster brothers, he went in and hugged the rough young man who was struggling and rolling, while he kept mumbling something. Even though the boy randomly scratched his arm and cheek, he didn't let go.
Finally, the young man calmed down.
But the chest is still rising and falling rapidly.
The young man woke up and looked at his adoptive brother who was almost scratched. His eyes were red and he was helpless, with his head lowered, like a frightened child who was afraid of being reprimanded and scolded by his parents. Gu Ren repeatedly promised that nothing would happen, and he became a little normal.
Shen Tang was curious: "This is-"
Chao Lian's attention fell on the iron cage. Seeing that his crazy foster brother calmed down, he breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing Shen Tang's curiosity again, he sighed. : "The one in the iron cage is the youngest thirteenth brother. Every time he kills someone, his madness will break out——"
Once it strikes, there will be no distinction between friend and foe.
Can only be restrained in an iron cage.
Let him go after his madness has passed.
Shen Tang was puzzled: "He will go crazy when he sees blood? Then why let him kill people? Isn't his madness more serious?"
"But if he is not allowed to see blood, madness will also occur. , and it is more frequent and lasting, and the situation is more serious..."
Shen Tang: "..."
There are some words that Chao Lian did not say directly.
The thirteenth brother was picked up from the dead by his eldest brother Gu Ren.
At first, Gu Ren estimated that the bandits were killing people and stealing goods. As a result, both sides were injured, leaving only an eleven or twelve-year-old child. However, after inspection, it was found that each corpse had been crushed by someone's neck bone, or the heart was ripped out with one palm, or the Tianling Cap was smashed with one palm. , the strength is unified.
It was later discovered that the murderer was no one else. It was this child who went crazy because he witnessed the bandits killing people. He killed the bandits and also killed the whole family, but he was still a mentally retarded child. Gu Ren thought for a long time and found that he could comfort him, so he chose to stay.
Cage and comfort before and after madness.
The madness is gone and then released.
Don’t mention it——
When he is crazy, he is like an evil Shura ghost, but when the madness passes, he is just a naive and silly boy. When bullied, he will only shrink his mouth and have tears in his eyes, which makes people feel unbearable.
Shen Tang asked: "Then what is his name?"
Chao Lian said: "The surname is Shao, the given name is Chong, and the courtesy name is Jingping."
Shaochong is the real name. The word "Jingping" was given by Gu Ren.
Shen Tang: “…”
Although, but...why does she feel that Gu Ren and these sworn brothers are more or less "evil"? But everyone said there was no problem, but Shen Tang's objection turned out to be a heresy. He just echoed: "This child's life experience is really pitiful..."
Chao Lian: "..."
The tone sounds fine, but——
Look The young man may not be as tall as his thirteenth brother, but who is the "child"? The corner of Chao Lian's mouth moved, but he still didn't say the complaint. Gu Ren was taken down to treat his wounds, and Shaochong's "cage" was lifted and he was free again.
Before leaving, Gu Ren warned Chao Lian.
"Qingzhi, take care of Dian Shisan."
Chao Lian said: "Brother, don't worry."
Everyone dispersed, Shaochong followed Chao Lian step by step.
Chao Lian asked the soldiers to bring water, wet a cloth and wiped away the blood on his face, revealing a handsome face that was so fair that there was almost no blood, with deep and three-dimensional facial features, with a bit of exotic style. , long eyes, straight nose, thin lips.
Qi Shan looked at it carefully.
He joked: "He is somewhat similar to Master Lang."
Shen Tang was also curious after hearing this.
She looked over and found that the idiot named Shao Chong was also looking at her curiously. When Chao Lian heard this, he looked left and right and said in surprise: "You can't tell if you look at them separately, but they do look a bit similar when they stand together..."
People who don't know about it think they are brothers!
However, he knew the identity and life experience of his adoptive brother. There was no younger brother like Shen Tang in his family, so he lamented the coincidence in the world. Shen Tang also thought it was a coincidence, but before she could say anything, she saw the young man who had been fine just now suddenly attacked her——
His right hand turned into a claw and clawed at her throat!
