Chapter 14 Price
It's daytime over there, it's night here.

Lu Ang returned to the familiar mine, with its familiar size and familiar smell.

It's just that he now feels a burning pain on his back, and his two forearms are also aching in waves.

Well, if you look carefully, there should be no bones injured, mostly skin injuries, plus some muscle contusions, etc., not too serious.

Hey, after all the hard work, I was beaten like a lost dog, and I didn’t get any benefit from it.

Fortunately, the decision was decisive enough. Assassins are typically high-attack and explosive. If the woman holding the umbrella took action, I might not be able to resist. This time at least I escaped with my life.

However, in this case, wouldn’t the progress be stuck?

They were hunted down in the mines here, and they were beaten up in the city over there...

If you come back from there, you will be in the same place, and if you go over here, you will be in the same place. If you suddenly disappear, there might be someone watching over there, or even a trap!

I'm so stupid, really, I only knew that I had to go to the city to take a shower, but I ignored that this was a city that was going to war, and the supervision was too strict.

If I had known earlier I shouldn't have gone into town!After those wolf cavalry are gone, why not just take advantage of the night and just yo-yo?

As for bathing and eating, when we get to a place where there is no fighting, there is no need to go to the city. I can just find a rich and ruthless landlord and use my force to control his family.
Light the torch and illuminate the cave.

Three lotus leaf bags and two bamboo tubes were placed not far away.

Well, this monk Yuantong is a good partner. He knows how to leave food when I am not around. When I become rich in the future, I will definitely leave some soup for you!

Hey, let’s eat first, and then we’ll think of a solution after we’re full.

……

In the large tent, everyone was sitting on the floor, and the table in front of them was filled with all kinds of delicacies.

The woman in white clothes was carrying an umbrella and her face was a little pale, just like the clothes on her body. She ate in small bites with very delicate movements. She picked up the vegetables quickly and swallowed them after chewing twice.

The old man with long sleeves kept his hands still on his knees. Two soldiers were half-kneeling next to him. One helped him pick up the food and put it in his mouth. The other was responsible for pouring the wine. After the old man drank it, he helped wipe the corners of his mouth.

Only the strong man wearing tiger skin is the most normal. He eats meat with big mouthfuls and drinks from big bowls. After finishing the food like a storm, he takes off a gourd from his waist and pours the thick crimson liquid inside into a small cup. Frowning slightly, he drank it in one gulp.

The three generals ate quietly without saying a word.

"General Guan is here!"

There was a sound outside the tent, and everyone stood up and leaned down to salute.

Then the tent door was opened and three people walked in.

The leader is a middle-aged man with a tall and straight body, wearing no armor, wearing a wide robe with wide sleeves, and a beautiful hairdo. He looks like a Confucian scholar or even a general.

Behind him, on the left is a general wearing the same style of armor, and on the right is a one-eyed man in a coarse shirt: the left eye socket is a hole, and the right eye is surprisingly big, about the size of three or four eyes of an ordinary person, which makes people feel very weird. .

The middle-aged general sat down at the main seat, and the others also raised their heads and took their seats.

"What happened in the afternoon?" General Guan asked first.

"That's it..." the woman in white clothes began to explain.

"So, you haven't found the man yet?" General Guan frowned, looking dissatisfied.

"Yes, when I rushed into the room, I only saw a flash of blue light, and the person was gone." The tiger-skinned man confirmed.

"Then do you think...this person is a craftsman?" General Guan looked at the woman in white. "Hmm...probably not." The woman in white hesitated for a moment before coming to a conclusion.

"Oh? Why?"

"First of all, his magical powers are very strange!" The woman in white analyzed: "As we all know, the great magical powers of 36 Tiangang and 72 Disha are world-famous, but the three thousand minor magical powers have their own inheritance. Over the thousands of years, there are many who have been lost and unknown. , and this weirdo, he used at least three magical powers today!"

"The first gate is a magical power that explodes from the ground. The second gate is a powerful body-protecting magical power. The third gate is the magical power he used to escape in the end. And these three magical powers, look at their The effect was great, but I couldn’t recognize any of it!”

She sighed: "My sect has been passed down for thousands of years and has detailed records. I have read many books since I was a child, and I have a photographic memory. I can recognize at least [-]% of the three thousand small magical powers, but today I kept making mistakes."

"Could this body-protecting magical power... be just a hard martial arts skill, like the "Body-Protecting Strength" in our army?" General Guan gave his opinion.

"Definitely not!" The one who spoke was the long-sleeved old man: "It's not like I haven't encountered a master of hard skills! My [Splitting Air Palm] has reached a great level. I can smash an ordinary armored soldier into pieces with one palm, so that's it!" He is a warrior with excellent external skills, and even if he takes a palm from me, his skin and flesh will explode, his muscles will be broken, and his bones will be broken, without exception."

"And today this thief took two of my palms, especially the one that was blocked by his arms. He just shook his hands and was fine. He can move freely. This is by no means a hard function compared to outsiders. It must be for self-protection." There is no doubt that human beings have magical powers.”

"Just because he has many magical powers, it doesn't mean he is not a meticulous craftsman." General Guan still didn't believe it.

"This is natural, so there are other reasons." The woman in white continued to explain: "The key is the type of magical power. The magical powers inherited by foreign races are very different from those of our Central Plains. Taking the protective magical powers as an example, their magical powers are often [hundred-year-old]. Transformation-type magical powers such as "Beast Transformation" often show signs of animal transformation in the body, but today's weirdo, at least his body and limbs are not inappropriate."

"This man's Qinggong is also very upright. He is my way to the Central Plains." The tiger-skinned man also confirmed.

"Finally, the most important thing is the number of magical powers." The woman in white continued: "General you also know that all magical powers have a price: Mr. Sui's [Splitting Air Palm], the price is the shrinkage of the palm, Brother Wu's [Transformation] Tiger], the price is tiger skin sewn on the body, and I have to drink tiger blood every day, my [curtain cover]... General has also seen the price."

"The more magical powers you have, the greater the price you bear! The more powerful the magical powers, the heavier the price! Especially the magical power that this weirdo finally escaped from, whether it is the stealth type or the escape type, it is a type of magical power with a huge cost. .”

"Since ancient times, except for those who have great magical powers, those who can master a variety of minor magical powers, without exception, are the geniuses of the big families, or the direct descendants of the big sects. Only such big forces have enough experience. And accumulation, spending various resources to help them weaken or even offset the harm of multiple costs."

"There may be such a person among the foreign races, but they will never be sent out as a spy!"

"That's it..." General Guan was silent for a while and gave the order: "In that case, let him go."

"Then where did he disappear today?" The woman in white finally asked for instructions.

"No need to watch anymore." General Guan gave the news: "Anyway... we are leaving tomorrow."

"Leave?" Everyone was shocked.

"Yes! I got the exact news from the county guard today." General Guan explained: "Reinforcements from the south will not come, and the supply of materials will stop soon."

"Why? Is the imperial court going to completely abandon Liangzhou?" The tiger-skinned man stood up fiercely.

"Yes." General Guan nodded: "The Wansuo Hengjiang Formation in Cangjiang in the south is about to be completely set up. The imperial court has made up its mind to rule across the river and rest."

"Mad! Then why have we been fighting to the death for so many years?" Mr. Sui couldn't help but get angry.

"Don't blame the imperial court." General Guan looked helpless: "The imperial court has no choice. Since the four dragons fought for the throne, how many years have there been natural disasters and military disasters? How many people have died? The imperial court's ability is limited after all. The Lotus Sect in the south has The rebellion has not been completely quelled yet, and after so many years of fighting, not only the court can’t stand it, but the people can’t stand it either.”

"The only way to conquer the river and recuperate is to recuperate!" General Guan finally comforted: "You also know that the aliens are strong in field battles, but they are weak in attacking cities, and water battles are even less popular. Although there are only five states in the south, The land is home to plenty of fish and rice, and it has been rich since ancient times... It will not be difficult for us to recuperate and recuperate for more than ten years, and with the army and horses, it will not be difficult to take back the nine states in the north."

"Moreover, although the five major foreign races seem to be monolithic now, after all, there have been many blood feuds since ancient times. When they are frustrated in going south and can only compete with each other for the northern land, there will be civil strife! As long as we unite and strive for self-improvement, we can eventually return to our homeland!"

"Then...are we going to protect the people going south tomorrow?" the woman in white asked.

"No, let's go to Boyang City!"
