Back Off, Let Me Come

Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, Shen Tang showed no signs of timidity.

She cupped her hands and said, "Junior Shen Tang has met Mr. Gu."

Shen Tang didn't know Gu Ren's position or status, and he didn't have any 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 and lifted up the hem of his clothes slightly, and sat down on Gu Ren's lower right side. He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the position he was sitting in.

Qishan followed Shen Tang and sat down beside him.

Gu Chi secretly raised his eyebrows and followed suit.

Gu Ren didn't say a word, but one of the two strangers spoke, "You, a junior, 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 casually: "Why is this junior so frivolous and rude?"

Gu Chi: "..."

He bet with Qishan's heart——

Shen Lang definitely did it on purpose.

This is just like beating someone on 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 next to 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 regarded as "frivolous and incompetent" by others. The performance of etiquette.

The man still wanted to argue, but Gu Ren calmed him down with an understatement: "The visitor is a guest, seventh brother must not be rude."

The seventh brother asked: "Didn't the ninth brother bring them back?"

Shen Tang was a "foolish traitor", and he said with a harmless look on his face: "Yes, we came with your ninth brother. However, we came voluntarily and were not captured, so how can we not be guests? Since you are a guest, you should naturally treat yourself 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 the somewhat aggressive "seventh brother", 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 bit solemn until the "seventh brother" asked: "What are you worried about?"

Shen Tang: "..."

The "Seventh Brother" said in a rough and matter-of-fact tone: "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 the young man named Gong Xiqiu, one person has the courage of ten thousand men. With him here, the rebels are emboldened."

The "Seventh Brother" curled his lips and muttered disdainfully.

"It's just the thirteenth grade update..."

When Shen Tang and the other three heard this, they had different reactions.

Thirteenth grade update...

Only worthy of the description "just"?

Shen Tang couldn't help but try to clear up Gong Xi Qiu'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 14th grade right now."

There are only twenty ranks of brave warriors in total.

How old is Gong Xiqiu?

The word "genius among geniuses" is not enough to describe him.

Even worthy of the word "monster"!

I don't know 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 very proud of my skills with my mouth. Shen Tang still had a harmless look on his face, as if he had said an ordinary thing.

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 the fourteenth grade is right? We brothers can split gold and jade together. Even if it is the fourteenth grade, we can split gold and jade. You Geng is here, and he also teaches him that there is no turning back! There are several other forces who responded to the edict. They took down the rebels and brought order to the chaos. What's so difficult about it? Do you think so?"

Others did not echo the sentiment.

"Seventh Brother" added: "We still have Thirteenth Brother."

Shen Tang was suspicious: "Does this general mean to swarm more than a dozen people? Or to start a wheel battle?"

The "Seventh Brother" turned dark when asked.

He asked in a rough voice: "Which side are you on, 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 other people trying to argue with him. If his temper gets angry, he will even hit people regardless of the situation.

At that time, he was also angry for a while. The seventh brother punched a certain gangster to death with three punches. He ran away for several years, hiding in XZ, and then he simply became a bandit. Gu Ren was also robbed by him, but coincidentally, Gu Ren inadvertently helped the widowed mother of his adopted 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 heard 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 on the spot to atone for his sin.

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, and he could also provide for his old mother until she died...

Gu Ren was really worried that his seventh brother would go berserk on the spot.

After comforting him, he asked Shen Tang about the information about Gong Xiqiu - knowing oneself and the enemy can win 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.

Qi Shan's peripheral vision moved seamlessly between Gu Chi and Gu Ren. He lowered his eyelids and suppressed the suspicion in his eyes.

His intuition told him that this Gu Ren was not simple.

Otherwise, Gu Wangchao would not have reacted like this.

question--

It's true, it's not small.

Gu Ren is indeed a "benevolent man" with an excellent reputation.

When he learned that Shen Tang and others were unable to walk 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 people for what?

Naturally, it was to inform Lili on the mountain.

Not only Li Li, but also the bandits she captured, 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 she has. 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, something bad is going to happen -"

Gu Ren did not scold him, but asked slowly: "When is it 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 one who practices six directly used the spirit of "chasing the wind and stalking the scenery".

Shen Tang and the other two followed them on the grounds of "worry".

Before getting close to the destination, I heard an extremely horrifying scream. The scream also carried a powerful and powerful sound. The weaker ones were directly stunned. Those who were not fainted would also feel restless eardrums and nausea. Vomiting, or even bleeding from the orifices.

Qishan and Gu Chi were secretly shocked: "What a violent spirit!"

There seemed to be thousands of fierce ghosts howling and struggling.

The "Sixth Brother" who was the first to arrive took action directly without any reservation, and as soon as he took action, he unleashed several words of spirit. 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.

He said quietly: "Leave it to me."

Seeing Gu Ren take action, Gu Chi whispered: "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 veteran, Gu Chi has rich experience in traveling, but this is the first time he has met someone who can completely block his way of being a scribe.

He couldn't hear Gu Ren's thoughts.

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 moment.

He said: "It's just the way of the scribes..."

The implication——

It's just that "the way of scribes" is 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’s terrifying even to be like this——

Gu Renbai’s twelve sworn brothers are good proof.

By the time the two had deserted, Gu Ren had already calmed down the source of his anger. Shen Tang was closer 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.

He should be a boy of eighteen [nine] years old.

Now he was covered in blood, holding his head and rolling around in pain.

Seeing his 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, muttering something in his mouth. Even though the boy randomly scratched his arm and cheek, he didn't let go.

Finally, the young man calmed down.

But his chest was 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 mad sworn brother had calmed down, he breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing Shen Tang's curiosity, he sighed: "The one in the iron cage is the youngest thirteenth brother. Every time After killing everyone, his madness will break out——"

Once an attack occurs, no distinction is made between friend and foe.

They can only be restrained in an iron cage.

Wait until his madness has passed before letting him go.

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 will be more frequent and lasting, and the situation will be more serious..."

Shen Tang: "..."

Chao Lian did not say some words 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 its neck bone broken by someone's strong force, or the heart was ripped out with one palm, or the Tianling Cap was smashed with one palm. , the strength is unified.

Later, it was discovered that the murderer was no one else, but this child. He 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.

Let the madness pass and then let it out.

Don’t even mention——

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 his real name, and 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 it was okay, and 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 at the young man who may not be as tall as his thirteenth brother, 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 Point Thirteen."

Chao Lian said: "Brother, don't worry."

The crowd dispersed, Shaochong followed Chao Lian step by step.

Chao Lian asked the soldiers to bring him 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. The facial features were deep and three-dimensional, with a bit of exotic style, long eyes and a straight nose. , thin lips.

Qi Shan looked at it carefully.

He joked: "He actually looks a bit like Master Lang."

Shen Tang was also curious upon 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: "Looking at each other separately, I still don't realize it, but standing together, they are somewhat similar..."

Uninformed people thought they were brothers!

However, he knew the identity and life experience of his adoptive brother. There was no brother as young as 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!
