Without a place for outsiders to live, Zuo Gui talked about today's events and was very confused about Zuo Fu's career.
Zuo Fu didn't care.
"A rare opportunity."
Zuo Gui had never met Zhao Si and did not know about it.
"What's your secret?"
Zuo Fu glanced at him.
"Um."
Zuo Gui was very dissatisfied.
"Why didn't I know?"
Zuo Fu looked at him steadily.
"Why should you know about the work of the Intelligence Department?"
Zuo Gui got a little angry and glared back.
"We are brothers, can't you even hide it from me?"
Zuo Fu's expression was neither salty nor bland, and nothing could be seen.
"Don't pry if you shouldn't pry. Your time in the army will not be short."
Zuo Gui couldn't help but feel a little sad, but there were some words he couldn't hide.
"You know, when my brothers talked about you recently, they all said that you have changed. We usually drink and eat meat together, laugh and curse, and have a good time. But you are like a ghost, and the dragon never sees the end. They say you
I’m separated from everyone.”
Zuo Fu walked to sit across from him and said sincerely: "What I do is this kind of work. I can't do it as I did before. You can do whatever you want, but I can't. If I do that, many people will die."
of."
Zuo Gui felt a touch of reluctance and pain from the depths of his eyes. Knowing that this brother's heart had not changed, he couldn't help but feel warm.
"Forget it, I won't ask anymore."
He talked about today's events again.
"Your sudden appearance has aroused suspicion. Aren't you afraid that they will fall out?"
Zuo Fu sneered.
"We are officials and they are citizens. Even if we say something bad, they might still be bandits. Fall out? Do they dare?"
After thinking about it, he decided to remind Zuo Gui.
"The young master once said that when dealing with people in the world, it is okay to understand the rules of the world, but you must not get yourself trapped in them. No matter what, we are officials, and we have the ability to overturn the table."
Zuo Gui was stunned and tasted it silently, obviously digesting it.
Zuo Menggen didn't assign him any specific duties, he just asked him to connect with people from all over the world, and he was very happy to do this.
But today's words reminded him.
Yes, walking in the world is just for convenience, not to really become a person in the world.
Only by understanding this can we do things better.
…………………………
The night at Shouzhangji was not peaceful, but Zuo Fu and Zuo Gui slept soundly.
I woke up early the next morning and met up with Lu Jingyuan, Lu Tai and others, and finally set off.
Only then did the two of them see Li Qingshan's influence.
After boarding the boat, we headed south along the canal, with people joining us from time to time along the way.
When they arrived at Shawan, the number of people in the team exceeded a thousand.
An ordinary butcher could be loved by so many people. This scene shocked both Zuo Fu and Zuo Gui.
The location of Anshan Town is very special. It is surrounded by water and can only be entered and exited through waterways.
This was originally a piece of land in the center of the pond, but was later exposed after the water level receded.
Because it happens to be on the edge of the canal, it is very important for dredging the canal and easing traffic, and gradually formed a small town.
But today, this place has become the domain of people in the world, and ordinary people stay away from it.
In the open space near the canal, a high arena has been set up, four meters above the ground, and there are no ladders.
Obviously, if you don't have a certain amount of effort, don't even think about going up, otherwise you'll be embarrassed.
On the other side of the arena, there were also a large number of people. Flags with various names were lined up in a row, which was quite impressive.
The people holding the flag were also specially selected, each of them tall and majestic. In the not-too-warm weather, they were naked from the waist up, and a fierce aura rushed towards their faces.
There was a row of chairs under the flag, and there were people sitting on them, all of them proud and murderous.
And among so many tigers and wolves, the one in the middle stands out.
This man's iron-tower-like figure makes him a head taller than many standing people even when seated. The nose, eyes and mouth of his big square face also cover the width of the world.
Seeing the person coming, this person stood up high and opened his mouth, and his voice was heard everywhere.
"But King Li Tian came late, which made our heroes waiting anxiously."
Across the ring, Li Qingshan managed to raise his spirits, but he managed to hold on.
"Don't be afraid of being late if you have a good meal. Guo Dalong insists on hitting the south wall and turning back, so I have to do as you wish. Everyone understands the rules, let's see the real rules with fists and feet."
He was injured and still has a dull pain in his abdomen. After saying these few words, sweat started to appear on his forehead.
However, this person is also experienced and knows that if he continues to talk to Guo Yunbiao, his body will not be able to hold on and he will fall into a disadvantage before the fight, which will affect his morale. Therefore, he directly invites the fight and does not give Guo Yunbiao a chance to succeed.
Zuo Fu and Zuo Gui hid in the crowd and focused on observing Guo Yunbiao.
Since Xu Yaqing is not here, Guo Yunbiao, who is the left guardian of the Wenxiang Sect, is naturally the first to bear the brunt.
"This man's martial arts skills are not low, and he must be very strong. Don't be fooled by his appearance, he must be very fast as well."
After being trained by Zuo Menggeng, everyone in the back camp has a unique way of observing people.
We know that a person's strength is related to his body shape and height, and his explosive power and speed are inseparable from his muscles and body proportions.
This Guo Yunbiao is nearly 1.9 meters tall, with big arms and a strong waist, strong legs, and extremely long arms, almost as wide as the knees.
With a body like this, even if you haven't learned martial arts, it's not easy to deal with him.
Zuo Fu laughed when he heard this.
"You still want to capture him and claim credit?"
There are not a thousand but also eight hundred thieves here in Shuibo. There are only two of them in total. Even if they really catch Guo Yunbiao, they will not be able to get out of Shuipo.
Zuo Gui snorted.
"I was just thinking about whether I could beat him."
Zuo Fu reminded: "We are here just for reconnaissance. Once we get the letter, we will be done. The rest has nothing to do with us."
Zuo Gui didn't see it that way.
He secretly pointed at Li Qingshan.
"This man has great prestige in the local area and is a figure. In the future, our army will definitely destroy Guo Yunbiao. If he can help us, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
Zuo Fu's eyebrows lit up and he couldn't help but joked: "Okay, Fourth Brother, you already know the long-term plan."
Zuo Gui gritted his teeth.
"Humph, are you the only one making progress?"
While the two were chatting, they were already fighting in the ring.
Li Qingshan's appearance was a lean man. He was holding two iron forks and was fighting with a strong man holding a large ring knife.
Guo Yunbiao became famous in the world with his nine-ring sword, and his men followed suit.
But it was obvious that the man in the ring did not learn well. He spent a long time swinging a sword weighing tens of kilograms, not only did he not hurt anyone, but he was also very tired.
Not long after, the lean man found an opportunity and knocked him down with a flick of his feet.
The sharp iron fork was pressed against his throat, and Li Qingshan took the lead first.
The cheers here were loud and loud, and no opportunity was missed to suppress the opponent's momentum.
The Shuibo group of thieves were yelling and cursing loudly, so they certainly didn't want to give in.
Zuo Fu only stared at Guo Yunbiao and quickly came to a conclusion.
"This is a test for the opponent. Winning or losing the first game is not important."
Guo Yunbiao sat calmly, as if he was not the one who lost just now.
When others look at him, they may think that he is indifferent to his emotions and anger. But Zuo Fu and Zuo Gui, who are specially trained, would not think so.
Especially after what happened yesterday, they understood even more...
The fun is yet to come.
Sure enough, Guo Yunbiao began to increase his stakes.
"Master Longzhai, you go."
Just to his left, a leader stood up and climbed onto the ring holding an iron halberd.
There was a lot of discussion here immediately, and many people's expressions changed.
Lu Tai introduced it to Zuo Fu and Zuo Gui.
"This person is Long Dayun, the leader of Heiyun Village. He was once a proud disciple of the Iron Spear Sect. Later, he had a dispute with the sect. He broke into the house to kill people and was struggling to make a living in the water. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by an iron halberd.
What a heroic man. In the last Dragon Head Meeting, the people here had their ribs broken by his three moves."
Long Dayun stood on the stage, looking directly at Li Qingshan.
"Li Tianwang, we are all here to make a living, and I have admired your reputation for a long time. What's the matter, how about you give me some advice?"
People here who knew the situation were furious, and someone jumped out immediately.
"With your three-legged cat skills, are you worthy of letting my elder brother take action? Come on, grandpa will teach you a lesson first."
With that said, this person went directly onto the stage without waiting for instructions.
"Lao Qi..."
Li Qingshan only had time to speak. The severe pain in his abdomen made him unable to say the next words. But looking at his worried look, everyone knew that this person on stage was probably no match for Long Dayun.
Many people even looked ugly and talked a lot.
For such an important matter as the leading competition, who can play and in what order has been decided long ago.
And this person seems not to be in the sequence.
But since he has already gone up, it is not easy to call him down again.
If you don't follow this rule, it will also hurt your morale, and it will also bring disgrace to your brothers.
Seeing the people on stage, Long Dayun burst into laughter.
"Kuang Laoqi, can you even go on stage? Hahahaha, can your fists and kicks beat a girl?"
After Kuang Laoqi faced Long Dayun directly, he felt the beast-like ferociousness of the other party, and then he became a little panicked.
But under the gaze of everyone, he had no way to retreat.
If you give in at this time, you will never want to gain a foothold in the water from now on.
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and take off a bone-breaking knife from his waist.
"Killing you...is no different from killing a pig."
Long Dayun waved the iron halberd in his hand from top to bottom, and the whistling wind made Kuang Laoqi's hair dance wildly.
"Wait until I smash your head like a watermelon and see if you still have a tough tongue."
The world is not a place for talking nonsense. After Long Dayun said that, he went straight to it.
The iron halberds were turned around, and they were running rampant, causing a devastating situation.
No matter how thick the bone-breaking knife in Kuang Laoqi's hand was, it couldn't compare with such a heavy weapon. His expression changed drastically, and he had no choice but to retreat continuously.
