stand back, let me come

Chapter 218 218: The Thirteenth Brother 【Ask for a monthly ticket】

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 seen Duke Gu."

Shen Tang didn't know Gu Ren's position or status, and he didn't have any friendship, so he chose the conservative name of the public.

Gu Ren said with a slight smile: "My 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 the hem of his clothes slightly, and sat down on Gu Ren's lower right, without feeling that there was anything wrong with his seat.

Qishan sat down behind Shen Tang.

Gu Chi raised his eyebrows secretly, and followed suit.

Gu Ren didn't say a word, but one of the two faces said, "You youngster, you are so frivolous and rude——"

Shen Tang followed the sound to look at him, wondering in secret, while reflecting that he hadn't done anything out of the ordinary, he asked casually, "Why is this junior so frivolous and rude?"

Gu Chi: "..."

He bet with the heart of Qishan——

Shen Lang definitely did it on purpose.

This is the same as when someone was beaten in the street until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, crying for his father and mother. When the beaten person asked Shen Lang why he beat him, Shen Lang said an "innocent" "Hey, why are you crying".

The seat number is not just sitting blindly.

Shen Lang was in someone else's territory, and as soon as he came up, he took the second seat next to the master - visually, this second seat should be the second place among the thirteen brothers - and with such a young face, he would naturally be regarded as "frivolous and ruthless". courtesy" performance.

The man wanted to argue, but was calmed down by Gu Ren's understatement: "The visitor is a guest, and the seventh brother must not be rude."

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

Shen Tang belonged to the "outsider foolish insider traitor", and said with a harmless face: "Yes, we came with your ninth brother. However, we came voluntarily, and we were not captured, so why are we not guests? As a guest, it is natural to use hospitality."

I didn't realize it at first, but I quickly realized it.

She is not a captured prisoner...

What's wrong with taking the second seat?
The seventh brother just snorted coldly.

Shen Tang: "..."

Compared with this "seventh younger brother" who has a bit of a temper, Gu Ren, the eldest brother, is quite gentle and easy-going, and he doesn't show a superior and arrogant attitude because of Shen Tang's young age. Instead, he is approachable and approachable like an uncle next door, without any airs.

Gu Ren asked many details about Xiaocheng.

Although he already knew the news of Xiaocheng's breach from his ninth brother, hearing it from Shen Tang, a person who had experienced it himself, gave him a completely different mood.The atmosphere in the main tent was somewhat dignified, until the "seventh brother" asked: "What are you worried about?"

Shen Tang: "..."

The "seventh younger brother" said in a rough voice, taking it for granted: "Just disinfect those rebels and take them back to 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 so simple to siege a city? Especially the young man named Gong Xiqiu, who alone has the courage of ten thousand men, and has He is here, and the rebels have nothing to fear."

The "seventh brother" curled his lips and muttered in disdain.

"It's just the middle class of the thirteenth class..."

Shen Tang and the three of them had different reactions when they heard this.

The thirteenth class is more...

Only deserves a "but" description?

Shen Tang couldn't help but to rectify the name of Gong Xiqiu - he was a bosom friend who was hard to find even in the mountains and rivers. Outsiders underestimated him, and indirectly underestimated her Shen Tang's aesthetics!She said: "Gongxi Qiu broke through before the formation, and now it should be the [-]th class right shift."

There are only twenty ranks of brave warriors.

How old is Gong Xichou?

It is not enough to describe it as a genius among geniuses.

It even deserves the word "monster"!
I don't know how rich this "seventh brother" is, can he say this to a [-]th-class right-handed officer?Hmph, the skills of the hands are not good, but the skills of the mouth are impressive.Shen Tang's face was still harmless to humans and animals, as if he said something that couldn't be more ordinary.

As for the heart-

Gu Chi listened with gusto.

As soon as Shen Tang said this, the face of the "seventh younger brother" changed slightly, but he still insisted: "Hmph! So what about the fourteenth grade? We brothers can split gold and break jade with one heart. Even the fourteenth grade You Geng came, and taught him that there is no return! There are several other forces who responded to the edict. What’s so difficult about taking down the rebels and putting things right? Don’t you think so?”

Others didn't agree.

"Seventh brother" said again: "We still have thirteenth brother."

Shen Tang was suspicious: "This general means that a dozen or so people will swarm up? Or a chariot battle?"

That "seventh brother" turned black when asked.

He asked in a rough voice, "Which side is Mr. Xiao Lang standing on?"

Gu Ren had no choice but to come out again to smooth things over.

This sworn brother is good at everything, loyal and warm-hearted, but has a bad temper, and hates others to argue with him the most. If he gets angry, he will even hit people regardless of the occasion.

It was also a moment of anger back then, the seventh brother beat a certain ruffian to death with three punches, fled for his life for several years, hid in XZ, and then simply turned into a bandit.Gu Ren was also robbed by him, but coincidentally, Gu Ren accidentally rescued the widowed mother in the foster brother's family.

The old lady kept thinking of Gu Ren.

As a filial son, the "seventh brother" secretly went back to visit relatives, and every time he could hear the old mother talking about Gu Ren's kindness to their family, he naturally remembered it.Suddenly knowing that the person he robbed was a benefactor, he was ashamed and ashamed, and knelt down on the spot to atone for his sin.

Afterwards, Gu Ren changed him to a fake identity.

He uses this false identity to work beside Gu Ren, so he doesn't have to hide in the XZ, and he can also support his old mother until the end of her life...

Gu Ren was really worried that his seventh brother would run away on the spot.

After reassuring, I asked Shen Tang about Gong Xichou's information - knowing yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles, the more you know, the more confident you are in dealing with Gong Xichou.After hearing about Yang Duwei's story, he sighed: "It's a pity in my life that I don't have the chance to meet such a hero."

Gu Chi frowned slightly at the angle that no one was paying attention to.

From time to time, his eyes secretly glanced at Gu Ren.

One eye, two eyes, three eyes...

No, there is one exception.

From the corner of her eyes, Qi Shan wandered around between Gu Chi and Gu Ren without a trace, lowered her eyelids, and suppressed the suspicion in her eyes.

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

Otherwise, Gu Wangchao wouldn't have reacted like this.

problem--

Yes, not too small.

Gu Ren is worthy of being a "benevolent man" with an excellent reputation.

When he learned that Shen Tang and the others were unable to walk with a "martial master" who was seriously injured and comatose, he took the initiative to ask them to stay in the camp for a few days to recuperate.My sixth brother's medical skills can't be said to be invincible in the world, but he is indeed a rare good doctor. If he takes care of him, the "martial master" can also recover faster.Shen Tang didn't know how to write the word "polite", and wanted to borrow someone from Gu Ren.

What do you borrow?
Naturally, it was to inform the raccoons on the mountain.

Not only Lili, but also the bandits she captured, the parts and servants she bought back from the mountain, and the property she robbed the bandits.Except for the tax money, this is all her belongings.Shen Tang naturally couldn't lose these.

Borrow someone from Gu Ren to deliver the letter.

Xiaocheng is no longer safe, so he wants to take it away and move his position.

Naturally, Gu Ren would not refuse such a small request.

For a while, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

But just at this time, there was a rush of chaotic footsteps approaching the main tent, and the messenger soldier couldn't even catch his breath, and shouted: "My lord, something is wrong—"

Gu Ren didn't scold, but asked slowly: "When is it bad?"

The messenger said: "It's General Shao Chong—"

Before the words were finished, the expressions of several people present changed.

One by one eagerly got up and rushed out of the main tent.

The sixth-ranking person directly used the words of "chasing the wind and creeping the scenery".

The three of Shen Tang also followed with the excuse of "worried".

Before approaching the destination, I heard an extremely shrill and terrifying scream. The scream was accompanied by a powerful aura. Those who were weaker were directly stunned, and those who were not fainted would feel restless ears and nausea. Vomit, even bleeding from the seven orifices.

Qi Shan and Gu Chi were secretly shocked: "It's so hostile!"

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

The "sixth brother" who arrived first made a move directly, without any reservations, as soon as he made a move, he was very eloquent.The black and white intertwined literary energy tightly wrapped the source of hostility, but it only lasted for a moment before being violently washed away.Gu Ren catches the sixth younger brother who was blown away.

He said softly, "Leave it to me."

Seeing Gu Ren make a move, Gu Chi said in a low voice: "As expected."

Qishan asked: "What's 'really so'?"

Gu Chi set up a small-scale anti-peep listening spirit.

He said: "This Gu Ren's literati way is very special."

As a veteran, Gu Chi has rich experience in traveling abroad, and this is the first time he meets someone who can completely shield him from the way of a scholar.

He couldn't hear Gu Ren's voice.

And he is sure that Gu Ren also has a very special way of writing, which is mostly related to his unusual affinity.

Praying for kindness in the next turn, I also guessed part of it.

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

The implication——

It's just that "the way of scholars" is not "the way of princes".

If this kind of affinity is "the way of princes", then it is really a king bomb, but everyone who sees him will have a good impression, and his success rate in attracting people is much higher than others.But even so, it's scary——

Gu Renbai's twelve righteous brothers are a good proof.

When the two of them deserted, Gu Ren had already appeased the source of hostility, Shen Tang got closer, and clearly saw that it was a young man locked in a fine iron cage with a length of one foot in height and a length of one foot in width——

It is not allowed to say that he is a young man, the man is tall and tall like an adult, but his eyes are black and pure, like a child of five or six years old.

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

But now he was covered in blood, rolling around with a headache in his arms.

Seeing the pain in his heart, Gu Ren took off the key from his waist and opened the iron cage. Regardless of the obstruction of a few righteous brothers, he went in and hugged the rough boy who was struggling and rolling, muttering something in his mouth.Even though the teenager scratched his arms and cheeks indiscriminately, he did not let go.

Finally, the teenager calmed down.

It's just that the chest is still rising and falling rapidly.

The young man came to his senses, looked at his brother-in-law who was about to be caught in a disfigured face, his eyes were red at the bewilderment, his head was lowered, like a frightened child who was afraid of being scolded by his parents.Gu Ren repeatedly assured that nothing would happen, so he was a little more normal.

Shen Tang was curious: "This is—"

Chao Lian's attention fell on the iron cage, and he was relieved when he saw that the mad brother had calmed down. Then he heard Shen Tang's curiosity, and he sighed: "The one in the iron cage is the youngest thirteenth brother. After killing a person, his madness will attack—"

Once an attack occurs, there is no distinction between enemy and friend.

They can only be restrained in an iron cage.

Wait until his madness passes before releasing him.

Shen Tang was puzzled: "He will go crazy when he sees blood? Then why let him kill people? Isn't his madness getting worse?"

"But don't let him see the blood, the madness will also attack, and it will be more frequent, lasting, and the situation will be more serious..."

Shen Tang: "..."

Some words, Chao Lian did not say directly.

The thirteenth brother was picked up from the pile of dead by the elder brother Gu Ren.

At first, Gu Ren guessed that the bandits murdered and robbed the goods, but both sides were injured, leaving only an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, but the inspection found that every corpse had been crushed vigorously, or the heart was smashed, or the sky cap was smashed. , the strength is unified.

It was later discovered that the murderer was none other than this child, who was driven mad by witnessing the murder of bandits, killed the bandits and also killed the whole family, but he was still a child with a mental insufficiency.Gu Ren thought for a long time, and found that he could comfort him, so he chose to stay.

Cage comfort before and after madness.

Go crazy and let it out.

let alone-

When he is insane, he looks like a Shura evil ghost, but when he is insane, he is a foolish and foolish boy, and when he is bullied, he will only grumble, with tears in his eyes, which makes people feel unbearable.

Shen Tang asked: "Then what's his name?"

Chao Lian said: "My surname is Shao, my first name is Chong, and my 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's righteous brothers are more or less "evil"?But everyone said there was no problem, and Shen Tang's objection turned into heresy.He just chimed in and said, "This child's background is really pitiful..."

Chao Lian: "..."

The tone sounds fine, but——

Look at the young gentleman who may not be as tall as Thirteenth Brother's chest, who is the "child"?The corner of Chao Lian's mouth twitched, but he still didn't make any complaints.Gu Ren was taken down to treat the wound, Shao Chong's "cage" was also released, and he regained his freedom.

Before leaving, Gu Ren told Chao Lian.

"Qingzhi, you take care of [-]th."

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

The crowd dispersed, and Shao Chong followed Chao Lian step by step.

Chao Lian asked the soldiers to bring clear water, and wiped off the dirty blood on his face with a wet cloth towel, revealing a handsome face that was so fair that there was almost no blood color. , thin lips.

Praying for a careful look.

Jokingly said: "There is a bit of resemblance to the Lord Lang."

Shen Tang was also curious when he heard it.

She looked over and found that idiot named Shao Chong was also looking at her curiously.When Chao Lian heard this, he looked left and right, and said in surprise: "I don't think they are separated, but they are somewhat similar when standing together..."

People who didn't know thought they were brothers!
However, he knew the identity of his adopted brother, and there was no such young brother as Shen Tang in his family, so he lamented that it was a coincidence in the world.Shen Tang also thought it was a coincidence, but before she could say anything, she saw that the young conflict who was still fine just now suddenly attacked her——

His right hand became a claw, grabbing her throat!
