Rebellious Contract Beast

Four years ago, Dushanlai watched his son born in front of him. At that moment, he felt a different kind of feeling in his heart, including tension, excitement, and fear. It was a sense of responsibility as a father. It was very strong. The moment he saw the child, he knew that it was a part of him, an inseparable part.

His excitement and nervousness are all because of him, and his fear comes from his life.

He has seen too many brothers around him die, and he doesn't know when it will be his turn. To be honest, he wasn't afraid before, but after having a wife and children, he became afraid, especially afraid of losing everything he gained at that moment. , the sprout of withdrawal grew in my heart and could no longer be suppressed.

Before he lived for himself, but for the rest of his life he lived for his family.

He just wanted to take advantage of the money he had saved over the years to escape with his wife and children before it was too late, and then live a peaceful life and raise his children.

He had been planning such a thing, and finally succeeded, but the price was the lives of countless brothers. From then on, Wugong's power slowly declined.

The grace of upbringing, the relationship between master and disciple, and the final betrayal, it can be said that he owed Wu Gong a lot, and it was not even finished.

Wu Gong did not cut him in half immediately, he was already very patient.

After Du Shanglai finished speaking, he glanced left and right. The next second, before Chen Jintian could realize what happened, the knife from his waist was drawn.

"what are you doing?"

Chen Jintian was stunned and looked at Du Shanlai, but the other man had already put the knife on his neck and was about to wipe it out. The others wanted to stop him, but they had no time at all.

At the critical moment, Wu Gong on the opposite side snorted coldly. With a strong hand, the wine glass flew out and hit Dushanlai's hand holding the knife heavily.

Click!

The teacup couldn't withstand the force exerted by Wu Gong. It shattered on the spot as soon as it hit the back of Dushanlai's hand. The faint sound of Dushanlai's hand bones breaking could still be heard.

He couldn't resist the power burst out by the strong man of consciousness. The severe pain came, causing him to subconsciously let go of the knife in his hand.

bang.

After being stunned for two seconds, Du Shanglai shook his hand and looked at Wu Gong after he came to his senses.

"Master Gong... Master Gong, you also know that I am dragging my family with me, and the days of licking blood from the knife edge are no longer suitable for me. I wanted to leave a long time ago, but I didn't expect that in the end..."

"Okay, the past is in the past. What's the use of killing you now? I don't want to kill you, so don't tell me these things. Just keep your life for me."

Seeing Wu Gong say this, Du Shanglai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Master Gong."

Wu Gong shook his head, brought a new cup, poured the wine in and took a sip.

"Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided. Do you still remember our rules?"

"Remember." Du Shanlai nodded, picked up the long knife on the ground again, gritted his teeth, and slashed down on his arm.

Swish!
  boom.

The intact arm fell to the ground with an extremely dull sound, blood gushed out, and Du Shanlai's face suddenly turned pale.

He didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly used his spiritual power to stop the bleeding. After feeling a little better, he looked at Wu Gong.

"Okay, sit down."

Dushanlai nodded. He wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, the severe pain could only make him utter some vague syllables. After that, he simply closed his mouth and sat back on the chair.

Seeing that he was really uncomfortable, Tsurumi threw a rejuvenation pill at Chuyun.

As a pure monk, he was not slow to react. When he saw something flying towards him, he stretched out his hand and caught it steadily.

Finding that it was an elixir for healing, he quickly nodded to her in thanks.

After taking the Rejuvenation Pill, the pain in the broken arm seemed to be better, not as painful as it was at the beginning.

"How about it?"

"But... it's alright..."

"Okay, then let's get down to business."

"Um,"

"The purpose of our visit this time is not to settle a score with you, but we just need your help with something."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"No rush, tell me first how big is the territory of your Blood Eagle Hall?"

"There... there are three or four docks. Master Gong, are you planning to kill someone? Just leave such a matter to the people under my command. Master Gong, you don't have to bother..."

"No, this time it's not about killing people. We come to you because we want to take a boat."

"Take a boat?" Du Shanglai didn't understand.
  "Yes, we are going to Jingfengzhou, and we need you to arrange a boat for us."

Du Shanglai finally understood.

Also, Wugong has committed so many things over the years, and both Dayu and Daliang can no longer let them survive. Normally, they must go to a new place, and for Wugong, the new place is Only the great view remains.

But now that Dajing is closed, refugees from Yu and Liang are prohibited from entering. If he wants to enter Dajing, taking a merchant ship to sneak across is undoubtedly the best choice.

Du Shanglai fell silent, not knowing what he was thinking. Wu Gong frowned when he saw that he suddenly stopped talking.

"how?"

"Huh? Oh, Master Gong, I want to ask, when are you going to leave?"

"Of course the sooner the better."

"Well... there happens to be a merchant ship on the dock going to Da Jingfengzhou, but I heard from their ship boss that it won't leave until the day after tomorrow. I wonder if Mr. Gong can wait?"

"The day after tomorrow?" Wu Gong was a little reluctant. He had no intention of staying in Jizhou City for a long time. There were too many strong people here, and even if he disguised himself, they would still see it. It was extremely dangerous.

"Is there a ship leaving tomorrow?"

"No." Du Shanlai shook his head, but quickly added: "If Mr. Gong is really in a hurry to leave, I can tell the boss of the ship and ask him to leave early tomorrow morning."

"Can this work?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Gong. I have known the boss of the ship for a long time and have a deep friendship. He should be willing to help me with my help, but..." Du Shanglai hesitated and said nothing further.

"what?"

Du Shanlai stretched out his only remaining hand and made a gesture to him: "The boss of that ship has the best money. If you want him to give you a ride, Lord Gong, this may be indispensable."

After hearing this, Wu Gong felt a bit toothache. In this life, he didn't hate anyone else, he only hated people who were greedy for money, even though he was also greedy for money...

"How much does he want?"

"I don't know about this either. It would be better for Mr. Gong to talk to him face to face."

"Okay." Wu Gong could only nod, praying in his heart that the captain would not open his mouth. After all, the amount of gold in his storage space was not much. If he wanted more, he would go to Fengzhou. He doesn’t even have money to get a wife.

If he were to be ruthless, he might just kill him when he gets to Fengzhou.

When Du Shang came to see Wu Gong and agreed, he was relieved and continued: "Master Gong, should I do it now?"

"Wait a minute, we arrived suddenly and we don't have a place to stay. Find someone to make arrangements for us."

"Yes."

Du Shanlai nodded, then stood up and walked out of the Blood Eagle Hall. Following Wu Gong's instructions, he found some people and came back to help them clean up three rooms in the backyard.

After that, he entered the city without stopping and returned to his home.

As soon as she saw Du Shang coming, Cui Mei, who had been tensing her nerves, burst into tears of joy, and the two hugged each other tightly.

"You damn ghost! You're finally back! You're worried about me." "I'm fine. Why don't I come back alive?"

"I thought you wouldn't come back after you left. It'll be fine if nothing happens. Wu Gong didn't do anything to you? You...your hand...why is your hand not there?"

"I chopped it myself."

"You stupid pig, why are you cutting off your own hand?"

"Don't worry, I just lost an arm. It's better than losing my life."

Cui Mei looked at Du Shanglai's bloody broken arm, with a look of distress and worry on his face, but what he said was right, as long as his life was not lost, this was better than anything else.

So she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmm... By the way, why did Wu Gong come to see you?"

"He asked me to help him enter Fengzhou..."

"He wants to sneak across by boat?"

"Yes, you also know those people who were made by Wu Gong. Daliang will never let him go..." Du Shanlai briefly told what happened in the hall.

After listening, Cui Mei asked: "Do you really want to help him? What if..."

She didn't say the next words, but Du Shanlai also understood what she meant, but he didn't speak, just nodded and sat by the bed not knowing what he was thinking.

About five or six minutes later, he suddenly said: "Mei'er, go get the pen and ink."

"Yeah." Cui Mei didn't say anything, turned around and entered the back room.

After getting the pen and ink and handing it to Du Shang, he didn't waste any time, quickly polished the ink, and then started writing on the paper with the pen. After a while, the paper was filled with words, and Cui Mei didn't have time to do so. Look, Duchamp folded the paper as soon as he came, put it in the envelope, and then sealed the envelope with wax drops.

After doing this, he didn't say anything, turned around and left the room, and found another member of the Blood Eagle Hall.

"come over."

"Lord, what's the matter?"

"Go over and give this letter to Tao Weizhong."

"Yes."

"Remember me, no one can open this letter except Tao Weizhong. If you dare to read it, I will kill you!"

"I know, Hall Master!"

"Go."

"Uh-huh."

"..."

Watching his men run away, Du Shanglai stood at the door of his house for a while, then turned around and said to Cui Mei: "You continue to stay here, I'm going out."

After saying that, he headed towards the Blood Eagle Hall outside the city again.

As soon as he entered the hall, Wu Gong, who was sitting on the steps, asked him: "Is the matter done?"

"It's done."

"How did he say?"

"I wrote a letter. Don't worry, Mr. Gong. I will take you to the dock tomorrow morning."

"Hmm...what's the name of the ship's boss?"

"Tao Weizhong."

"As long as you have a guarantee."

"Master Gong, shall I go back first?" Du Shang came and hugged his fists. Wu Gong nodded and did not leave him alone.

"Go and take your wife and children."

"Thank you Gongye!" Du Shanglai's face was filled with joy, and he turned around to leave. However, before he could take a step, he was caught by Wang Zhongzhu and the others.

"Shang Lai, Shang Lai, don't leave in a hurry. We haven't seen each other for so many years. Why don't you stay up all night?"

"Brothers, it's been a busy day today. It's time for me to go back and rest."

"Why are you resting? Don't think we don't know about you, kid. It wasn't a problem for you to stay up for a month and a half before. Why have you become such a bitch now?"

"That's it, come play two hands of cards with us, drink while you're here, and go back at dawn."

"This..." Du Shanlai looked at Wu Gong, but Wu Gong said nothing.

In desperation, he could only follow Wang Zhongzhu and the others to the backyard.

Wu Gong was too lazy to care about these things. He sat alone on the steps of the yard and watched the stars in the sky for a while, then got up and went to the backyard. However, he did not go back to his house, but found Tsurumi Chu in a separate room. cloud.

"Miss Jiang, will you make an elixir today?"

At this time, Tsurumi Chuyun was reading a book in the room. After hearing his question, he shook his head: "I won't practice today."

The only alchemy material she had left was the Yun Beast Pill, which could only be made for one furnace. She planned to save it on the road and wait for Shen Yi to get hungry.

When we get on the boat tomorrow, we won't enter Dajingfengzhou immediately. There are still three days to go.

Hearing her say that there would be no elixir refining today, Wu Gong's face was obviously disappointed.

"Okay, Miss Jiang, you go to bed early, I'll go back to the room first." After saying that, he turned around, but Tsurumi Chuyun stopped him.

"Old Wu, wait a moment."

"what's up?"

"Is that Duchamp really credible?"

"You don't have to worry. I, Old Wu, know very well what Du Shanlai is like. Don't worry, I'm sure of it."

"Oh." Seeing what he said, Tsurumi Chuyun didn't ask any more questions and chose to believe him.

It’s not surprising that He Jian Chuyun asked this. After all, Wu Gong’s shameless reputation resounded everywhere and almost everyone knew about it. And He Jian Chuyun had also heard of some of the people under him. Only this Dushan came, she had never heard of him before, and he didn't look like a Taoist like Wu Gong and others.

However, the two sides treat each other as if they have been partners for many years, which is very strange.

To her, Du Shanglai was a complete stranger. Their identities were sensitive and they could not make any mistakes before leaving Daliang.

Wu Gong didn't have so many worries. In fact, he understood Du Shanglai's approach. In the past, Du Shanlai was not afraid of death because he had no weakness or worries. The final outcome would be death no matter what.

No one cares, maybe many years later the brothers who are still alive will talk about this person in some casual conversation, and then there will be nothing else.

But now that I have children and a wife, I have all the weaknesses I had before. Worrying about this or that, naturally I will no longer be as courageous and fearless as before, without fear of life and death.

After all, when you know that you occupy someone's entire inner world, dying becomes extremely guilt-ridden.

In addition, Wu Gong, like Du Shanglai, was an orphan. He knew too well that people like them wanted to have a complete family more than anyone else.

It was only after Wu Gong learned about Du Shang's arrival that he planned to retire from the world, marry a wife and have children.
