Eunuch's professionalism

The quicksand below buried the army. Watching the troops that had been so impressive just now fall into it in waves, struggling endlessly, becoming more and more desperate, some soldiers were completely wiped out.Rui Wangjun, who was planning to fight back, also looked at this scene with a look of shock. The expressions on their faces were not much better than Shou Wangjun. They were only responsible for obeying orders, and the non-core personal soldiers would not know all of Shao Huachi's plans. .

Fu Chen found that all the King Rui's army looked at Shao Huachi with conviction, admiration, and excitement. Following such a world-class master and You Rongyan, which man does not want to make meritorious deeds, and which man does not want to follow a capable master? What an exciting thing it is to be defeated by ten times the strength of the opponent without even using a single soldier.

Under Shao Huachi's governance, King Rui's army had strict discipline, even if they were full of pride in their hearts, they could only watch with fiery eyes. Fu Chen believed that at this time, it was Shao Huachi who asked them to jump to commit suicide and they would all agree.

Only Luo Heng, the general next to Shaohuachi, saw Shaohuachi's secret actions. Their King Rui actually covered the ugly man's hand. It was not surprising that this ordinary behavior was put on anyone, but it seemed weird to put Ruiwang alone.No matter how long or short he has been with King Rui, he knows that Lord Rui is very jealous of being touched by others. Although being touched will not make people lose face on the spot, he will definitely pay special attention to this aspect afterwards.

Now he actually took the initiative to touch someone else, although he just put his hand on it casually, as if he valued this person's attitude, that is very rare.

Luo Heng was not the only one who was uncomfortable, Fu Chen was the same. He felt a sense of oppression from Shao Huachi around him, and wanted to pull out his hand, but found that he couldn't pull it out at all. Shao Huachi took Fu Chen's hand and looked at him, observing him fingers, nails, and joints, casually said: "The nails grow well, remember to bandage the wound later."

It was the bruise on the back of Fu Chen's hand after they bumped into each other to cushion the weight of the two when they rolled to the ground just now.

Then, Shao Huachi let go of his hand naturally, as if he just took a look at Fu Chen's injury on a whim.

Everyone's nail shape and the shape of knuckles will be slightly different. Even if they change their faces, no one will deliberately change their hands, including Fu Chen. However, there are countless people with the same hand shape in the world, and there is no need to change their faces .That alone doesn't explain anything at all.But Shao Huachi's neutral tone gave Fu Chen a sense of indescribable crisis.

Then I felt that my worries were unfounded, and it was impossible to see anything from this point.

Down below, Shao Mujian told the rest of the people to retreat, looking at the large area of ​​quicksand as if seeing a devil, his face turned pale with fright, and he looked at the people on the city wall with lingering fear, even though he knew that Shao Huachi and others entered by detour, But now that so many people have died, why would he try to find out where to go to enter that deserted city.

It's impossible for him to block his own life anymore, and now he doesn't know if he is completely on the right track.

Shao Mujian silently retreated to the back of the team, hiding his figure. As long as he doesn't show up, the two parties won't be completely torn apart, and there will be room for change in the future.

As an aide, Wei Honghe wrapped his face with a cloth, which was a bit of a cover-up, but even if the two sides knew each other's identities well, as long as it wasn't the clear Shou Wang who led the troops, this incident was just an attack by bandits.Under Shao Mujian's instruction, someone put Yao Lu and others who were tied to the stake into the front of the quicksand, and shouted loudly, "Lord Rui, if you want his life, you'd better come down in person!"

Shao Huachi looked down and saw that Yao Lu and the others were all tied up, and the stakes were stuck in the sand, looking very helpless.

"Do you think it's funny?" Shao Huachi sneered, low and magnetic, and gently asked the soldiers around him, "What made them think that this king would put themselves in danger for a group of businessmen? So this king sacrificed so much A consecrated person?"

Luo Heng and other cronies also laughed cooperatively, but they were a little embarrassed in their hearts. Thinking that they even thought that Shao Huachi was special to Yao Lu before and took special care of him, now thinking about how naive they were at that time, the reason why King Rui saved Perhaps the real reason for disowning this group of people is to be useful in the future, or to be used as cannon fodder?

Seeing that Shao Huachi didn't move at all, and even faint laughter came from above, as if Wei Honghe was talking about a big joke. Although Yao Lu was tied up, his face flushed in embarrassment. Lost face.Shao Mujian and the others also saw that Lao Qi didn't care about the life and death of these businessmen at all, clicked his tongue a few times, and glared at Yao Lu, "It's really a lie, do you really think this king is a fool!"

Yao Lu shook her head desperately, trying to save her own life.

Shao Mujian didn't bother to make a move at all, so he asked people to throw these businessmen into the quicksand.

Wei Honghe whispered a few words beside Shao Mujian.

Shao Mujian raised his eyebrows, "A businessman from Ji Kingdom?"

Recently, Jin State is negotiating arms export with Ji State. If these people are killed here, Lao Qi will be caught. He doesn't want to make new troubles. Let them go!"

Shao Mujian was extremely impatient now.

He knew that if Shao Huachi didn't come out today, it would be absolutely impossible to kill him again. The gain outweighed the loss. Not only did he not kill Lao Qi, but he also lost so many soldiers. His own strength was greatly reduced. If he couldn't explain it, he exposed his own influence, and he was still with Lao Qi forever. If Lao Qi was convinced of this matter, Lao Qi would not be too exaggerated to him in the future.

Shao Mujian realized the chain consequences of today's events, and looked coldly at the wall of the deserted city, Shao Huachi, you are the biggest obstacle to my ascension!

He shouldn't be chasing and killing Lao Qi anymore, but should find a way to deal with the situation in the capital, and how to explain to his father to minimize the influence of this matter.

The other thing is time, how do you get a book from Lao Qi before he sues!

"Honghe, retreat! It's not suitable to fight any more today, we'll head back to Luanjing right away." Shao Mujian made a decisive decision, and it was rare for him to wake up for a while.

Sooner or later, the real battlefield will be to get back to the capital, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!

Seeing Shao Mujian retreating, Shao Huachi had a slight smile in his eyes, Boss, this is just the beginning of your failure, do you think it's over?

"Let's camp in this city for the time being today." Shao Huachi ordered, then looked at Fu Chen who had been silent all this time, and saw him staring at the businessmen who were still tied like bugs on the sand dunes outside the city, "I want to save them ?”

"I wonder if Your Highness can be accommodating?" After all the journey, Fu Chen was not ruthless enough to watch them die. After Shao Mujian withdrew his troops, he just left those people there. If they didn't save them, these people dying there.

Shao Huachi thought for a while, then said indifferently: "Yes, but I don't like saving people for no reason, what can you give?"

When you first rescued us, you didn't ask for anything.

Fu Chen looked at Shao Huachi speechlessly, where did this double standard come from.

"If you can't figure it out, you owe it first." Shao Huachi said indifferently, as if he didn't want to talk anymore, he ordered the soldiers to go out of the city and untie those people, and then return to the deserted city. Before leaving the city wall, he turned his head and said to Fu Chen: "Choose one below room, I will send someone to bring water, you should wash up."

Hearing this, Fu Chen was embarrassed. In the contact with Shao Huachi just now, he must have had a smell that he couldn't bear.He wanted to wash at the water source center in the oasis before, but then he was raided, so naturally there was nothing more to say.

When Fu Chen went down the city wall, he found that the deserted city was not as terrifying as he had imagined.Because of King Rui's army, this deserted city has become extraordinarily lively from a barren empty city, dispelling the old, stale and musty smell.

I always feel as if someone is looking at me, the eyes are very dark, burning, with the meaning of probing, but I look around, but I can't find anything, all the soldiers of King Rui are preparing for the second round tonight. Set up camp and prepare, and no one will pay attention to his small corner.

Is he too sensitive, Fu Chen shook his head, he is a down and out businessman, who would have the time to observe him?

He walked a few more steps, and felt that the other party's gaze seemed to be following behind him.

Looking back, there were still only the busy soldiers.

"Wang Da, what's the matter with you?" Shao Huachi's confidant Luo Heng was just picking up the items needed for the station, and seeing Fu Chen's bewildered look under the city, he asked.

In fact, if it weren't for the weird treatment of the king by his highness, as Luo Heng, he would really not pay attention to these merchants.

"I don't know which room is more suitable." Of course, he couldn't say that he felt as if someone was following him after he got off the city wall. He was such an ugly man, and he was still a man, who would look at him.

The question asked is indeed thinking. After all, there are too many soldiers, but there are not many usable rooms here. Some of them are likely to collapse at any time, and King Rui’s soldiers should not be too scattered, which is not conducive to gathering, so every usable room The room is full of people, no matter which room he enters as a merchant, he is out of tune with these soldiers, so it is better to wait for Yao Lu and the others to come over.

"Otherwise, why don't you share a room with me? It's in the temple in front." Luo Heng pointed to the front. It was a huge temple with a Southeast Asian style. You can still vaguely feel the round roof and the craftsmanship of the carvings. To the culture of Mirai.

Fu Chen didn't refuse, and readily agreed.This Luo Heng is Shao Huachi's personal soldier, and he is very skilled. Being able to live with such an official, at least his safety is guaranteed.

Fu Chen didn't bother to care about why the other party was so kind to him, anyway, he could completely part ways with Shao Huachi and his group when he arrived in Yangmu City in a few days.

Luo Heng looked at Fu Chen's retreating back complicatedly, hesitant to speak.

Along the way, Fu Chen saw the appearance of this small country that had disappeared for decades. Although this deserted city has been in disrepair for a long time and many places have been deserted, it still retains the style before its decline.All the houses are piled up with loess, but there are many murals on the walls of many houses, with daily life and birds and animals on them, showing the prosperity of Mirai country in the past.

When Fu Chen walked into the temple, he felt a little strange. The strange feeling came from the fact that there were no soldiers passing by, and it was very quiet.

As soon as he stepped in, he faced Shao Huachi who was taking off his clothes.

kindness! ?

As soon as Fu Chen stepped in with one foot, he wanted to take it back.

What Luo Heng was referring to could live here, but it couldn't be said to be with Shao Huachi as the coach. Of course Luo Heng could be a personal guard, but he was nothing.

Shao Huachi took off the outer light armor and only wore the military uniform inside. He looked much lighter, and his silver hair was simply tied up. Hearing the footsteps at the entrance of the temple, he turned his head and saw that it was Fu Chen. He frowned slightly. "You chose this place? It's a good idea."

This is the best-preserved place in all the houses, and it is also the largest in size. Most people may choose this place, but no one dares to come.

With a clear and cold tone, it was impossible to tell whether it was welcome or not. Shao Huachi was the coach, and it would not be appropriate for Fu Chen to live here.

"The little ones just come in and take a look." Fu Chen lowered his head, and when he was about to leave, he happened to see the patterns carved on the pillars at his feet. Just like the birds and beasts he saw before, this place is also animals. Milai Kingdom seems to respect birds The ethnic group, wait, there is something wrong with this bird, why does it look a bit like a rhinoceros, it has a hook-shaped beak, but it is shaped like a sparrow, this is a rhinoceros!

Isn't the rhino finch the divine bird of the clan that has been wiped out? How could it appear here?

In the past five years, he has penetrated into Li Biantian's core, so he naturally knows a lot of news, and Li Huang didn't even deliberately hide some things from him.For example, the origin of the rhinoceros, for example, Li Biantian suspected that he was a member of the Zhu tribe, because his blood could attract the rhinoceros.Of course, only he knew the real reason. In order not to arouse Li Biantian's suspicion, he even hypnotized the digital guards, and took the initiative to take the pill with the breath of the tribe, just to keep the breath in his body.

The Clansman is the "key" to unlock the legendary treasures of the Dragon Cave. In the eyes of Emperor Li and the others, he is the last Clansman in the world. No wonder Li Huang gave him such a precious pill at the edge of the quarry cliff. Because he is so "rare".

Another example is that there is a treasure map in Li Biantian's place. He sent several groups of people to the tropical area where the Zhu people once left to find the entrance to the treasure, but they couldn't find it after all the searching. A similar one came out.

For Li Huang, now he has his key, but he can't find the door.

Could it be that the Mi Lai country that suddenly disappeared has something to do with the condemned clan that Emperor Li mentioned?Fu Chen thought about it.

Shao Huachi responded with a hmm, and slowly lay down on the couch. This is the place that Luo Heng had paved for Shao Huachi before he left. Even the books and tea were ready. Obviously, they had already made preparations in the city in advance. , all used the bedding brought by the team, the snow-white silk satin, which made Shao Huachi's skin like jade.Now a group of King Rui's army has gone to the oasis where they were stationed before and brought in other items.

Shao Huachi slowly closed his eyes, not bothering to look at Fu Chen. He closed his eyes and meditated, as if he was issuing an order to evict guests in a disguised form. It was obvious that Fu Chen was not qualified to live in the place where the coach stayed.

Fu Chen stood at the door, as if he was nailed in place, staring at the rhinoceros pattern.

This temple is not big, and a few huge pillars support the dome, making it not easy to collapse even after a hundred years. The surrounding walls have been peeled off due to sandification, and various patterns can be vaguely carved. There is a statue on the top, which is a huge eagle. The eagle holds a scripture in its hand. This is a stone carving, so it is still well preserved.The strangest thing is that there is a calm pool in the center of the temple, surrounded by dry plants. Obviously, it should have been used for sacrifices in the past.

There, there is actually water.

Black.

Mi Lai Country has disappeared for a long time, how can there be a pool, even if there is, it is impossible not to dry up.

The black water gave Fu Chen a very bad impression. Whether it was the Heishui River or the water prison of the Wuyang tribe later, these were not good memories.

In addition, no patterns related to rhinoceros were found along the way just now. Of course, it may be too old, and those things have disappeared. This temple still leads to many rooms, which must be weird. Condemnation is related.

Seeing Fu Chen standing still, Shao Huachi opened his eyes again, "What are you still doing there, do you need me to ask you to leave?"

"..." Fu Chen came back to his senses, felt Shao Huachi's piercing eyes, and said bravely, "Most of the houses are seriously damaged, and the small ones are bold. I don't know if the small ones can choose to live in this house?"

Fu Chen has learned some simple traps from Fat Tiger in the past five years, and he can faintly feel the unusualness of this temple.

In addition, the water dungeon under Aqilin's tent, the feeling of the black water pool below, is somewhat similar to the current central pool. He thought of the exquisite mechanism everywhere in the water dungeon, and looking at this temple, it seems that there is something connection.

Shao Huachi's eyes became colder and colder, as if he wanted to poke a hole in Fu Chen's body, he seemed to find it incredible that there was such a bold businessman who dared to share his room with him.In this era of distinct classes, merchants are not qualified to live with the royal family, and sometimes they even need to bow down when speaking. Shao Huachi did not come out as King Rui, but an inspector. Naturally, he didn't pay much attention to it. He really went to the battlefield , Eating and living with soldiers is also commonplace.

Fu Chen also thought of this, aware of his impulse today, and knelt down.

"Get up, you are really bold." Shao Huachi laughed lazily, but without warmth, "You know that there are only two kinds of people who can share the same room with me, one is my bodyguard, and the other is wanting to climb into my bed Do you want to be one of them?"

Fu Chen's eyes widened, and he felt Shao Huachi's cold anger, which was the anger after being offended.

At this time, Luo Heng and others brought water in, saw Fu Chen who was still standing at the door, and said, "Wang Da, why are you still standing here? I brought all your water in for you!"

"What's going on?" Shao Huachi raised his eyebrows, before Fu Chen spoke.

Luo Heng scratched the back of his head, "My lord, I invited Wang Da to live with me. I hit it off with him and saw that he had no place to stay. Anyway, my house is quite big, so I want to give him half of it..., no What position does it occupy, and Wang Da is very skilled, and he helped us repel the enemy just now, so there is no suspicion, so..."

Shao Huachi said unhurriedly: "I don't know when my soldiers are so trustworthy?"

Before Luo Heng could finish speaking, he was sweating coldly. How strict Shaohuachi was, you can see that the soldiers who had accommodated Yaolu to deliver food before were beaten dozens of times with army sticks and lost half of their lives.Seeing Shao Huachi's gloomy face, which seemed displeased, Luo Heng knelt down, "This subordinate made the decision without authorization, so I will make another arrangement for him, and ask the prince to punish him."

When Shao Huachi heard this, he saw that Fu Chen was still bowing his head, and lazily raised his hand, "Wang Da did save me, so let's be credible for now, you didn't do anything wrong. You've become me by doing this." It's unreasonable."

"Subordinate..." Luo Heng seemed to be thinking of words.

"Forget it, you don't have to be so particular about going outside. The water is what I promised to Wang Da before, so let's carry it in. You brought the person here, so teach him the rules yourself, understand."

After all, he closed his eyes again.

After repelling [-] troops overnight, Shao Huachi's eyes were a little tired.

Luo Heng was overjoyed and thanked Fu Chen together.

Luo Heng and another soldier carried the bucket together, and led Fu Chen into the hut at the corner, which was only separated from here by a wall.

Shao Huachi slowly opened his thin eyelids, and a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on his calm face.
