There's a Madman Sharpening His Knife at Night

On this day, Lu Hu taught the two of them his improved Black Tiger Fist, while Pei Yuan taught the details of the body technique.

After the teaching was completed, the two began their own healing and cultivation.

It was like this until dusk in the afternoon. After various treatments, Pei Yuan's injuries recovered to about 50%, and there was only one night left before he could join the army in three days as he said before.

But he still hadn't made a decision, and planned to go into the city again to see what the Anping Army's cavalry would do next.

Lu Hu went with him.

When we arrived in the city, we saw that Dingbei City had become cold and silent.

No one could be heard, and the snow on the eaves was blown by the winter wind from time to time.

Extremely cold.

Like a dead city.

From a distance, I could see railings erected inside and outside each alley, and a few large characters written in dark red blood on one side of the wall: Anyone who strays without permission will be killed!

When the two of them saw this scene, they knew that these cavalrymen had forced all the people in the city back home.

At this time, it was time to light a fire for cooking, and the two of them looked up.

In the huge Dingbei City, the rising smoke has become much rarer.

It's a cold day in the middle of winter.

But it's not as cold as Pei Yuan's heart.

Looking at the messy Dingbei City, the former prosperity has gone forever. The ground on West Street is covered with a thick layer of blood mud. The scarlet red is extremely dazzling in the city, and there are traces of fire everywhere. There is a pungent smell of blood everywhere.

In just two short nights, Dingbeicheng was turned upside down!

Just when Lu Hu and Pei Yuan were standing on the city wall and looking into the city, they saw 20 horsemen escorting three carriages heading towards the east gate from a street in the distance.

The two men immediately hid their figures. When the twenty cavalrymen passed through the east gate and left the city, the two men stared at the carriage. The carriage's carriage had been damaged, with only the bottom board remaining.

There were piles of boxes and sacks stacked on top. On one of the sacks, a gold wine glass pierced the bag, revealing half of it, which was seen by the two of them.

"The goods that the Rebirth Cult distributed to the people in the city were taken back by the cavalry who followed them!" Pei Yuan's expression changed drastically.

"I am afraid that the current batch of property has been obtained by searching and suppressing the rebels of the Rebirth Cult and has become military pay! Is the purpose of these cavalry coming to quell the rebellion in the city, or just for these gold and silver properties?"

Lu Hu also narrowed his eyes, and then said, "Is there some kind of tacit understanding here, that the army will pass through the border to supplement the military pay?"

"Brother, what do you mean?" Pei Yuan was suddenly shocked.

"I'm just guessing. We don't know what's going on here. Just judging from the results, the Resurrection Cult is undoubtedly the biggest winner. The army also followed and got a share of the pie. The local government, Zhang Xianzu, if it weren't for us, wouldn't have Able to escape from the city in time.

Except that the people of the city and the majesty of the imperial court became the price and the losers, these three are all considered winners, which is hard to avoid making people think of it! "

Lu Hu looks at the problem simply and directly. He doesn't bother with the process and development of the matter at all. He looks directly at the results. Who benefits and who loses can judge which forces are playing the game.

Pei Yuan listened in silence for a long time, absorbing the information in Lu Hu's words. After a while.

"Hahaha!" Pei Yuan laughed loudly and slowly took out the broken letter from his arms.

"Regardless of whether the truth of the matter is consistent with my brother's guess, I don't think this Anping Army can be peaceful, let alone have nowhere to go!"

As he spoke, Pei Yuan tore up the remaining letters and waved his hand.

This time Lu Hu did not stop him. Although the result was the same, Pei Yuan burned the letter because he was frustrated. At this time, he saw the situation clearly and realized that the army was not what he thought. Defend the home and the country, guard the territory and bring peace to the people.

Once you enter the army, you become a sword that cannot have its own thoughts. The hilt of the sword is in the hands of others, and you cannot decide where to cut.

It would be fine if it were to attack the enemies who invaded the territory, but it would be absolutely unacceptable to Pei Yuan if it was to attack the people within the territory.

"In that case, what are your future plans, brother Xian?"

"In the future." Pei Yuan fell into a daze, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Brother, you said before that a hero must have great ambitions, and you also said that nowadays, the world is in chaos, and those who do not have great ambitions will eventually be controlled by others.

After this incident, I have finally seen clearly that what I want to do cannot rely on others and must be done by myself. Brother, why don't we occupy the Shanye Temple, with my brother as the leader and my younger brother as the assistant? How about starting a gang here? "

"Oh?" Lu Hu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Pei Yuan to have such an idea.

Pei Yuan originally had a sudden idea, but as soon as the idea came up, he became more and more excited.

"Brother, you see, the Shanye Temple was originally the place where Zhang Xianzu operated before. It is not far or close to the city, and the location is just right. After the two disasters in Dingbeicheng, it was a time when people were frightened and the power of the government almost disappeared. With the strength of my brother and me, I don’t think there will be a third person in the city. It’s a good time to do something big!

After all, one person's power is limited. Only with people in hand can one's ideas be realized slowly. This is the right path! "

Pei Yuan's military background is really something.

Didn't Pei Yuan analyze the situation at this time based on the right time, place, and people?

"Hahaha, dear brother, what you said does make sense!"

"So, brother agreed?" Pei Yuan said excitedly, feeling the blood boiling in his heart and his body trembling slightly with excitement.

"No!"

Who knew that Lu Hu would be poured cold water on his head right away.

"Huh?" Pei Yuan was confused by Lu Hu's words.

"Saving people from the fire and supporting buildings from collapse has always been the ambition of a good brother, but I have never said that I have such ambitions."

Pei Yuan suddenly realized, yes, his brother had been helping him since he killed Zhang Xianzu. Later, he also encouraged himself to have great ambitions, but he never said what his own ambitions were. It was all wishful thinking. Of self-righteousness!

"Then what is your brother's ambition?"

"I don't have much interest, so I just practice martial arts, walk around, look at the natural scenery, and at the same time see what the scenery on the top of the martial arts mountain is like. I'll just go with the flow. If I encounter Zhang Xianzu on the way who makes me unhappy, I'll kill him with a knife. That’s fine, but if there are too many, I can’t take care of them, and I don’t want to take care of them!”

"It turns out that my brother is interested in martial arts!" Only then did Pei Yuan realize that his brother was a martial arts fanatic, but he was also a martial arts fanatic. How could he practice boxing to a perfect state if he was not a martial arts fanatic? How could he possess such terrifying strength at this time?

"But, it's not impossible to help Xiandi form a gang!"

Pei Yuan's blood had turned cold when he heard Lu Hu's rejection, but he didn't expect that things would turn around now.

But the joy on his face disappeared in a flash, and his brows immediately frowned.

"Brother, I have helped my little brother a lot before, how dare I trouble my brother again!"

"It doesn't matter, it's not that I'm not interested, it's just that I'm not as interested as you are. It's okay to form a gang, but you will be the main one later. When I get tired of waiting here, I want to leave and travel around the world!"

When Pei Yuan heard this, he excitedly held Lu Hu's hand.

"Hahaha, okay, as long as the elder brother agrees, Yunyou will leave in the future, and the younger brother will handle the rest. To be honest, if the younger brother is alone, I'm afraid it really won't be possible to form a gang!"

The two held hands and smiled, and their laughter floated all the way to the distant sky.
