Chapter 8 Rebirth (Part 2)

"What if he wakes up?" Someone lowered his voice and complained.

"This guy has only half his life left. If it weren't for the troublesome man surnamed Pei, he would have died long ago. What are you afraid of?" Another person laughed disdainfully and said: "Besides, the current situation is now, such single officers and soldiers are not even as good as birds!"

Then, he raised his foot and stepped on Lu Yao's shoulder hard, and deliberately rubbed it from side to side. The wound on Lu Yao's shoulder immediately collapsed and blood surged like a spring.

The person who was stepping down did not notice at all, and the dying person in his mouth had already opened his eyes.

Lu Yao had been awake for a long time. His limbs and bones were numb, and he didn't even obey a finger. With a little force, a dizzy feeling came, accompanied by palpitations. But he was not panicked. He knew very well that several fatal injuries on this body had been cured by an indescribable force. The current weakness was just a side effect of the huge mental impact just now, and he could recover with just a good rest.

He narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the surrounding environment. This was an old thatched hut. The hut was against a rock wall, and the air was leaking on three sides. The hut was cold and wet, with moss growing everywhere. Only a hay pile in the corner was dry. At this moment, his body was overturned by the man, and he was leaning against the sky and earth and deeply trapped in the hay pile.

In the straw hut, there were only two men wearing coarse cloth clothes.

A man who was stepping on Lu Yao's shoulder was a long-faced man. He used the power of pedaling to tear off a silk cover and took off Lu Yao's armor. He walked to the door and lifted the iron armor to the sun and looked carefully, and exclaimed repeatedly: "Look, look!... This is a top-notch sleeve armor, a stacked fish scale armor! This is a good product that the general is worth wearing!"

The man with a low voice before was a yellow-faced man, and he seemed a little timid when he spoke: "Third brother, let's forget it. When Pei Langjun left, he asked me to take care of the injured, but he didn't let us do this. If Pei Langjun gets angry, Boss Su will look bad on his face..."

Lu Yao thought about it. It turned out that a Pei Langjun had taken over him. But he didn't know where Xue Tong, He Yun and others went, but there was any danger. The Pei surname is the big family in Hedong, and it was a great family that was crowned for generations. Since there were children of the Pei family, it should be in Bingzhou, and the battlefield on the front line of Shangdang and Xiangyuan was not far away. But at this moment, Bingzhou was in chaos, and the Pei family members were not staying in their own fortress. What should they do if they had nothing to do?

"Are you pretending to be stupid or really stupid?" The man with a long face spat. He poked out of the hut half, looked left and right, turned around and said, "You still take the surname Pei seriously? Tell you, this surname Pei can't come back!"

"How could it be?" The thin man was stunned and then asked in surprise: "Does Boss Su want to take action?"

The man with a long face said coldly: "Since the war has been plagued, there are Hu people everywhere, and the business is not easy to do. Instead of giving the family surnamed Pei, it is better to kill them and divide the property and leave. What's more, the boy surnamed Pei is so terrifyingly arrogant that Boss Su has disliked him for a long time."

"But...but...Pei Langjun's approaching seems to be very skilled. These people are definitely not ordinary merchants. Third brother, we can't act rashly..."

The long-faced man snorted coldly: "In this situation, I have also come from Luoyang to Bingzhou. If I have not taken too much cold medicine and become a fool, I have a deep backer behind me. Unfortunately, no matter how big a backer is, it is useless. In this Taihang Mountain, we have the final say whether to die or live."

He reached out and slapped the door frame heavily, and said proudly: "What's more, Boss Su brought more than a dozen good men. You widen your eyes and see, no matter how powerful the family servants are, can they be more cruel than Boss Su? From Qingshi Valley to Taohua Valley, they are where they die!"

The thin man smiled and said, "Third brother, Boss Su's reputation is well-known, no one knows it. Don't blame me, aren't I used to being careful? I always feel..."

The man with a long face shouted impatiently: "What are you trying to slap in this area? This area is our boss Su's territory, so how can you deal with it?... Damn, look at you as timid as a mouse, I will tell you something else..."

He looked around alertly, and leaned into the thin man's ear and said a few words. The thin man showed a relaxed look: "So that's it. Boss Su is really a clever plan!"

The man with a long face said proudly: "That's natural. Well, this time I did the Pei surname, and everyone can make a fortune. Then, I'll ask you to go to the foot of the mountain for some fun... By the way, there are still a few female relatives around the Pei family. Although I don't know how they look, they all look beautiful, maybe... hehehe... Even the Pei family boy, although he is sarcastic all day long, is really handsome. If he can use it to vent his anger..."

This guy suddenly smiled lewdly, obviously he had already thought about it wrongly.

It's so unlucky, it's a bandit in Taihang Mountains. Lu Yao immediately confirmed the identities of these people.

Taihang Mountain is a mountain that runs across the entire Bingzhou from north to south. When Cao Cao conquered the high-ranking officials in the past, he wrote a poem to praise it: "It is so difficult to go to Taihang Mountain north. The sheep intestines are bent and the wheels are destroyed by it." The mountain is steep, which shows how steep it is.

Over the years, the Hu people have fought with the imperial army in Bingzhou. Although the Hu people are cruel and tyrannical, the military discipline of the Jin army has not been much better. In addition, local officials everywhere are extremely demanding and many people cannot bear it, so they moved their clans to the depths of Taihang to live in seclusion. It is said that they live in seclusion, but in fact, they have never listened to the imperial orders since then, which is no different from the end of the country.

These bandits gather in Xiaoshan and set up camps to defend themselves. Relying on familiarity with the complex landform of the Taihang Mountains, no one can do anything. Many times, some travelers want to cross mountains and ridges for special reasons, and still need to seek their help. Just spend some money and ask them to lead the way, and you can cross many passes along those rarely visited mountain paths without paying heavy taxes. For example, the "Pei Langjun" mentioned by these two people is this type of travel.

In fact, the money that travelers hired bandits to lead the way also meant buying money. These bandits were used to opposing the court. In addition to leading the way, they also did some extraordinary things from time to time. This group of bandits in front of them was like this. They first collected Pei Langjun's money, and then planned to kill and rob.

When you are in troubled times, life is like grass. This kind of thing is inevitable. Every year, every month, every day, I don’t know how many people lose their lives in a mess. But... but... if this falls on yourself who just woke up and has no power to protect themselves, it will be a big problem.

Lu Yao was thinking this way, and the two bandits looked at each other.

The long-faced man glanced at the haystack where Lu Yao was and suddenly remembered something: "I said Xiaoqi, you haven't seen blood in your hands since you went up the mountain, right? Seeing this guy's Wuluo and Qishen, he didn't live long. You simply gave him a knife, which would have accumulated good deeds."

After hearing this, even Lu Yao was steady in his heart, he couldn't help but curse in his heart: Since he believed that I didn't live long, why are you two bastards so anxious? Damn it! Are you going to die inexplicably at the hands of rats? For more than a thousand years of time-traveling journey, is it just to give a thief a lie? As long as... just give me a little more time! He tried his best to mobilize every little bit of physical strength, but the strong sense of weakness has not faded for a long time. Not to mention the movement of his limbs, he couldn't even speak.

The thin man was also hesitating at this time. He was an ordinary citizen who had recently fled into the mountains, so he was assigned by his companions to kill people. This is very common among bandit groups. As long as he had blood on his hands, it means he would never look back.

He changed his mind for a few times and looked up at the companion. He saw that the long-faced man had no expression on his face, but there was a murderous smell. He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Third, I, Xiaoqi, are not a timid person!"

The thin man pulled out his waist knife and walked towards Lu Yao.

Lu Yao looked at him coldly. In the dim environment, Lu Yao's eyes looked extremely bright.

The thin man stopped and couldn't help but retreated repeatedly, looking at his companion: "Third brother, he...he's awake!" This guy was a bit smart. The man with a long face praised Lu Yao's armor before, and he knew that Lu Yao was not comparable to an ordinary wounded soldier, and might be an officer. For such a thief who was forced to fall into the grass, he might have the intention to do evil, but it was a bit psychological pressure to kill an imperial officer in person.

"Xiao Qi, since you have gone to Taihang Mountain, don't take the imperial court seriously. Today, even if the Heavenly King is here, you have to kill him!" Behind him, the man with a long face frowned and said sinisterly.

The thin man's face suddenly changed. He had even seen the long-faced man put his hand on the hilt of his waist. The thin man knew very well how cruel and ruthless this third brother was. He had no doubt that if he refused to attack, the third brother would draw his sword immediately. He would chop himself first and then kill the dying court officer.

"Okay!" He took a deep breath and pointed the tip of the knife at Lu Yao's chest.

The thin man failed to stab the knife as he wished.

Because just as he was about to stab him with a knife, a crossbow arrow hit his neck.

The thin man's eyes suddenly raised like a dead fish, and a princess sounded in his throat, and then he fell down.

The long-faced man jumped up in shock and reached out to draw his sword at his waist.

However, as he jumped up, another crossbow arrow hit the forehead. The arrow's great power actually penetrated out and nailed him to the pillar of the straw shed.

The long-faced man twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

There were footsteps outside the straw shed, and several more people stepped in.

The leader was very tall, about seven feet tall, and he walked slowly with one hand holding a sword, calm and composed, and his actions were free and heroic. Looking closely at his face, he saw that he was only young, with wide forehead and eyebrows, his nose as bright as a gallbladder, his skin as white as snow, his eyes were full of a finger and a bit of a strange sense of tenderness.

Behind him were two men in uniform, obviously close-fitting guards. They followed the boy step by step, with a vigilant expression. One person on the left looked cold and fierce. He held a knife in one hand, and as his arm swung, blood flowed down the blade. It was obvious that he had taken several lives outside the straw shed. One person on the right held a strong crossbow, and the two arrows were shot out by him. The strong crossbow was exquisitely crafted, and even the scales on the mountain were inlaid with silver wire, which was definitely an exquisite weapon worth a thousand gold.

The young man stepped in and saw that the two bandits were killed. He frowned: "Weixuan, you are too cruel. Didn't I say that? I should leave a living!"

The guard who was called the guard was holding a powerful crossbow. The man's face was a little gloomy. He heard the boy's words, but he just bowed his head slightly.

The guards patroled in the straw hut, and saw that there was no enemy, they were about to leave.

"Wait a minute."

The boy came to Lu Yao and squatted down. He looked down at Lu Yao's face and smiled: "Are you still alive? You're very lucky."

As the boy was close, there was a faint fragrance like orchids and musk that refreshed Lu Yao's spirit. This boy must be what the bandits called Pei Langjun. Most of the nobles from contemporary families liked to incense and powder, but this boy was still so particular in the wilderness, so he was not a first-class high-ranking family.

Lu Yao felt relaxed, and his physical strength had recovered a little, and he could move a little. He struggled to move his body, nodded sincerely, and whispered: "Thank you..."

Lu Yao had tried his best to speak loudly, but the sound of his words was still very slight. He was upset, afraid that he would be a little rude.

"You don't have to be polite." The boy didn't care. He nodded slightly, then stood up and called out, "Come on someone, apply medicine for him, move quickly. Let's take him on his way."

"Mr. Lang, this person's origin is unknown..." Wei Xuan hesitated for a moment.

Pei Langjun frowned: "Why do you want to say too much? Bring him with me, I have something to ask."
