Drunk House

  Chapter 589 Hug (one more)

   Seeing that Zhou Gu was still in the mood to comfort him, the King of Southern Chu felt that Su Rong had a really good vision. He was still a young man, and he was still a few years away from the age of the crown, but he acted safely, and he was unscathed after leading him for so long.

   Cheap him.

  He said to Zhou Gu: "Although I have not cultivated my own power except for privately raising 50,000 soldiers and horses in Xiling, because the time is too short to cultivate power, plus privately raising soldiers and horses, I can only choose one to do it, so as not to be too greedy. I can't do anything well, so as to leak the news. Therefore, Gu chose to privately raise soldiers and horses with Ye Xiang, and then supported Ye Guixue to make him grow. He just wanted to use the power of Ye Xiangfu. That is a success. However, the time is too short, in just five years, Ye Guixue was able to subdue 100,000 soldiers and horses in Xijing under the disturbance of the Nangong family, which is almost useless. No matter how many more, the Ye Xiangfu is too tired to deal with it. After all, the Nangong family is too deeply rooted and entrenched for too long. In this land, the Nangong family has made a fortune earlier than the Nanchu royal family."

   Zhou Gu nodded.

  The King of Nanchu said again: "However, Gu didn't do nothing. He placed some people in the Nangong family and instigated some people. It's just that what Gu did was insignificant when the Nangong family mobilized them all.

  Zhou Gu sighed, and stretched out his arms to hug King Nanchu, "Father-in-law, it's not easy for you. After we get through this difficult time and see Xiaoqi, you throw Nanchu to her to make her tired."

  Nan Chu King was suddenly hugged by him, his body froze, and the corners of his mouth moved for a while, before admonishing him, "You child, why are you hugging me suddenly? You scared me, scared me to death. Let's see how you explain to my daughter."

  Zhou Gu chuckled, "Has no one hugged you? Seeing that you are stiff, I'm not trying to scare you. I'm just giving you some of my trust in Xiao Qi so that you can cheer up. It's no big deal."

  The corner of the King of Nanchu’s mouth twitched, and he said stiffly: "Not to her, but also to you. Do you think my husband of Nanchu is so easy to be? If you don’t do well, many people will criticize you and compare you with Ye Guixue. If you can’t compare, you will be ridiculed for the rest of your life.”

  Zhou Gu rolled his eyes, "I'm sure I can do well, and everyone will praise me in the future."

  The King of Southern Chu was amused, "Okay, it's a good thing that you have ambition."

   Zhou Gu wanted to hug him for a while, but when he heard the grass and trees moving in the distance, he cursed, "Damn, I found it again so soon."

  He picked up the sword and said to Zhang Yun who had been watching the two silently: "Old rules, Brother Zhang Yun, I will leave my father-in-law to your care."

  Zhang Yun sat up straight, losing his temper, "Just go."

   Round after round of killings, day after day of hiding, as a large number of killers from the Nangong family entered the Valley of the Dead in Wanren Mountain, the hidden guards around Zhou Gu and Zhang Yun fell one after another.

  Ziye and Liuying were seriously injured, Fengyue was also slightly injured, and Zhou Gu was also injured. There are only two good-looking people, and that is Nanchu King and Zhang Yun who have been protected from doing anything.

   Zhang Yun asked Zhou Gu after the new round of murder was resolved, "Brother Zhou, how many days have passed since the news of Fengyue came out?"

   "Five days." Zhou Gu glanced at him, and while tearing off the clothes on his arm to check the sword wound, he said, "You won't have a bad memory, will you?"

   "I'm just confirming with you." Zhang Yun sighed, "It really feels like a year."

  Seeing that the wound on Zhou Gu's arm was deep, he took the initiative to bandage him up. After applying the powder, he watched Zhou Gu take out a good medicine and swallow it from a bottle. He sighed, "Brother Zhou, you had the foresight. If you didn't pick these good medicines and make them into life-saving pills, we wouldn't be able to last so long."

  At least, the hidden guards can reduce the number of fallen people.

  Zhou Gu raised his eyebrows, "There is no useless work in this world."

  After Zhang Yun finished bandaging, he raised his arm. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he breathed a sigh of relief, "I like the sky now."

  Because in the dark night, the Valley of the Dead in Wanren Mountain is so dark that you can't reach your fingers, it is easy to hide, unlike in the daytime, no matter where you hide, you will be found quickly, and you can't hide the traces. When it was dark, when they could find a place to take a breather, even if they were found by those mad dogs holding torches, it was much harder to find than during the day.

   "I'll come tomorrow, you take care of the king." Zhang Yun said.

  Zhou Gu glanced at him, "Come on, even if I hurt an arm, I'm still worse than you, it's me!"

  Zhang Yun choked.

  In the middle of the night, footsteps suddenly came from all directions, very hurried, as if many people were looking for them.

  Zhou Gu's complexion changed, and he stood up abruptly, "King Liu'an's men have come here."

  Zhang Yun's face also changed, "What should we do?"

  Zhou Gu clenched his fists and remained silent.

  Zhang Yun was also silent.

   What else can we do now? kill? I'm afraid that if they can't fight, 50,000 horses, fighting with wheels, will kill them to death. escape? For those who cannot escape, this place has long been sealed by soldiers and horses. It is just a jar, and people who can come in can't get out.

   Fengyue came over at this time and said to Zhou Gu: "Fourth Young Master, there is another way."

   "What method?" Consultant Zhou.

  Fengyue gritted her teeth and said: "My subordinates found a cave in the middle of Wanren Mountain, which can accommodate more than a dozen people. You and Mr. Zhang San take the king up, and we will set fire to the mountain."

  Zhou Gu was shocked, "No."

  Now they add up, there are hundreds of hidden guards, and the cave can only accommodate a dozen people. Doesn’t it mean that these hundreds of hidden guards have to be burned to death together?

   "There is no other way." Fengyue said: "Compared to killing all of them to death, it will be cheaper for King Liu'an. Isn't it better to be buried together?"

  He looked at Zhou Gu, "I know the fourth son can't bear it, but the most important thing is that you, the king, and Mr. Zhang Yun live. The rest of us are not afraid of death."

  Zhou Gu still shook his head, "No, let's hold on a little longer, and we will definitely be able to wait for Xiaoqi to come to our rescue."

   "I can't hold it anymore." Fengyue said: "There are only a few hundred steps left. As long as we kill, we may not even be able to walk. Taking advantage of the present, we can hurry up and climb halfway up the mountain."

  Zhou Gu shook his head, his tone was firm, "No, no matter if it's my secret guard, the king's secret guard, or Zhang Yun's secret guard, and you, Xiao Qi has lived frugally since he was a child and tricked the eldest lady into taking dowry money to support you for so many years. We can't just die together like this."

  His face was cold, and he said coldly: "Fengyue, give up your thoughts, listen to me, even if you fight and kill, and the blood is drained, you can't set yourself on fire."

  Once the fire is set, the mountains and forests here will be lush, and it will be winter again. There has been no snow recently, and it will be so dry that you will die.

   Fengyue was a little anxious, "Fourth son, those who achieve great things don't care about small things."

   "That doesn't work either." Zhou Gu said angrily: "How do you know that the cave on the cliff is safe? You know that if a fire is set on the mountain, the whole mountain will burn, so will the people hiding in the cave halfway up the mountain be safe? Whether it is smoked or roasted, they can be smoked to death. If Xiaoqi comes and she wants to save us, there is nothing she can do."

  Fengyue's face turned pale when she heard the words, but she didn't expect this, she was startled, and lowered her head, "It's because my subordinates didn't think carefully."
