Chapter 266 Illusory Warmth

In the prison of Dengzhou City, Wang Erniu hugged the rod tightly in his arms.

The soldiers said they were allowed to communicate with these weapons, but Wang Erniu, who had never read any books, did not know what communication was, but the soldiers did not explain much, which directly led to him having to use hugs. This is the most primitive way to transfer your own body temperature to the rod in your arms, thereby passing on a little warmth.

This is naturally ineffective and even seems a bit stupid, but this is the most Wang Erniu can do.

After all, he has nowhere to go.

His father is seriously ill, and the rest of his family members are gone. As a poor man, he has no friends to rely on, and naturally there are no noble people to help him. In order to allow his father to survive, he has sold his Having lost everything at home, even wanting to eat a bowl of rice has become a problem.

It was at this time that news of recruitment suddenly came from the Dengzhou Governor's Mansion.

Theoretically speaking, a poor man like him would never be selected by the Governor's Mansion under any circumstances. After all, he was born in a poor family and was thin and weak. When the villagers were looking for heroes, they would deliberately pass him over. So what? He might have been selected as a bodyguard - but the Governor's Mansion chose him, gave him this opportunity, and even gave him a good meal.

Let’s not talk about whether this thing is fake or not, at least the full meal is real.

So, after packing a sumptuous meal for his father at home, Wang Erniu was brought into the governor's mansion.

There were nine other people selected together with him. Just looking at their patched clothes, Wang Erniu knew that they, like himself, came from poor families - Wang Erniu didn't quite understand. , why would the superior governor of a state choose a group of people like them as bodyguards? There are obviously more people outside who are taller and stronger than them. Isn't it good to use them?
"Maybe this is what the big shots think."

Wang Erniu, who couldn't understand, could only understand it this way.

Just like the notices posted in the Governor's Mansion, those docile notices are always so unpredictable that no one can understand them even after looking at them for a long time, and they don't know who they are intended for - obviously, those Big people are like this. Little people like them can't understand the thoughts and understandings of big people.

But this time, Wang Erniu unexpectedly understood.

Just because it was just nightfall, the cage was opened.

That is the first cage on the left. The person living in it is an old beggar. Like Wang Erniu, during the day, this old beggar was also assigned a weapon. But now, the old beggar is taking advantage of the situation. There was no one around, so he cut the chain on the cell door with a knife, pushed the door open and walked out.

However, the old beggar did not leave. Instead, he swung his knife again and opened another cell door.

In another cage was a haggard man. It was said that his wife had passed away, but he still had to support the five children at home, so he came to the Governor's Mansion to see if he could accept the job - and now , this man was holding the war sword handed out during the day, kneeling at the ventilation window with his back to the cell door, talking to the war sword in the moonlight, and muttering something.

Obviously, this was the way the man understood to communicate with the weapon, and it seemed more reliable than what Wang Erniu was currently using.

But just when Wang Erniu was about to copy the gourd and draw the scoop, and do his own thing, the old beggar who pushed in the door quietly raised his knife.

"Baby, don't blame me. I've wasted my whole life. I only have this chance..."

While saying this, the old beggar with scarlet eyes waved the blade.

"Don't blame me!"

puff--

Before the haggard man could turn around, the head was completely chopped off from his neck by the blade.

And the old beggar, without even wiping off the blood, already held the knife and walked towards the next cell.

The bright red blood flowed, and the pungent smell of blood soon filled the entire prison. The rest of the people in the prison, no matter how slow they were, had already noticed that someone was dead.

After learning from the past, everyone understood the method of selection without any teacher.

Instead of thinking about showing off your non-existent abilities and hoping that the nobles will appreciate you, you might as well kill the other competitors first and strike first - after all, there is only one quota, which means The remaining nine people will be eliminated, so instead of being eliminated in despair, why not choose to take advantage of now to kill the competitors?
Of course, if it were in the past, they would not have thought of this.

But this time, the old beggar's actions reminded them.You must know that they have weapons in their hands.

"kill!!!"

The entire prison suddenly turned into a battlefield. Everyone was waving their weapons, including Wang Erniu. He finally knew the real way to get close to the weapons - since they were already weapons, they must be Those who want to kill and drink blood should fight together with the weapons in their hands and kill the enemy together. Isn't this the most intimate act?
"kill!!!"

Wang Erniu didn't know where he got the strength, but he smashed the old beggar's head with one stick. Then he hit the old beggar's head with another stick, stabbing a young man of similar age to his heart.

Using a wooden stick with a flat head to stab someone through, the skinny Wang Erniu naturally did not have this kind of strength, but when he swung the stick, a steady stream of strength came out of his body, allowing him to do it What he wants to do, let him kill the people he wants to kill...

"It's it! It's it!"

Wang Erniu couldn't help lowering his head and looking at the blood-stained rod in his hand.

It was the stick in his hand that was helping him.

At this moment, he realized this fact extremely clearly.

So, he withdrew the rod and looked at it carefully under the moonlight. After losing the support of the rod, the last corpse in the prison fell to the ground.

Except for the man who was beheaded just now, and himself, Wang Erniu had already killed all his competitors with the stick in his hand, and got the opportunity that was more important to him than his life.

And this killing was clearly seen by Bai Wujiu and his subordinates who were hiding in the dark room.

"It's okay, not crazy."

After observing carefully for a while, Bai Wu Jiu's expression relaxed a little.

"Now that the results have been achieved, let's continue to engrave them. There is no way to mass-produce the evil spirit outside, but it can still be done if the evil spirit enters the body... Also, is there any news from Wangyou Township?"

"We have already come into contact with people from Wangyou Township."

Some of his subordinates stood up and reported in a low voice.

"They mean..."

"Rejected? I understand."

Bai Wu Jiu sighed, he knew this would be the result.

The grudge is finally forged, how can it be so easy to untie?

"Uh, no."

Just when Bai Wujiu was thinking about countermeasures, the subordinate continued to speak.

"They agreed."
