CH 199

Cao Hai cautiously pushed open the door and saw Peng Longteng lying on the bed, allowing two doctors to bandage the wound on her neck.

"Ah!" Cao Hai walked in and stomped her foot next to Peng Longteng.

"Are you crazy? You killed thousands of people!"

Peng Longteng, who was resting with her eyes closed, spoke, "If they don't pay us for fighting, who will fight for them? If they don't reward us, who will win the battles for them? It's harder to ask them for money than to kill them. Alright, since they have difficulties, I'll just ask for a reward myself!"

"After fighting on the battlefield for so long, I can't treat my soldiers unfairly!"

"You...you...," Cao Hai was so angry she couldn't speak.

"Just a small town with a few thousand people, why are you so worked up? I'm already being generous by not finding a city. "

"That's easy for you to say! They are all people of the Later Shu!" Cao Hai wiped away tears as she paced back and forth in the room.

"Now the court is in chaos because of natural disasters, and you still want to cause trouble for them! You're offending them all!"

Peng Longteng pushed the doctor who was sewing up her neck and sat up straight.

"Whether there are natural disasters or not, it has nothing to do with me. Even if the sky falls, soldiers still need to be paid! Besides, what are you afraid of? It's not the first time there have been natural disasters."

"Well, if you want to get paid, then get paid. Why did you have to kill people?"

Complaining, Cao Hai raised her delicate finger and wiped the bloodstains off Peng Longteng's armor with a handkerchief.

"We just came down from the battlefield, and so many people died. We still haven't received any rewards or pay. The men are holding a grudge. If we don't release it, they'll start a mutiny in the camp."

Cao Hai's voice became quieter. "No matter what you say, the truth will eventually come out. The court will find out about what you're doing..."

"If they find out, they find out. Do you think those cunning people don't know?"

"They've already embezzled the military pay for the bandits. They didn't expect me to react?"

"It won't cause a big fuss. The bigwigs will help cover it up. Otherwise, if it becomes a big deal, no one will look good."

"Now it's great. They don't have to spend more money, and we have our pay. Nobody loses."

"Besides, I'm not doing this blindly. I have a reputation. Haven't you seen that I've already blown up several Siqi spies?"

Speaking of this, Peng Longteng thought of something and her face immediately darkened. She reached out and touched her left cheek.

Most of the blue tattoo on that face had been burned off, and the twisted words "Jingzhong" looked particularly terrifying.

Especially her left eye, Peng Longteng's delicate phoenix eye was covered with a layer of white film, obviously already blind."Good boy, you escaped from my hands and even injured me, impressive!"

"General, go inform the people from the Monitoring Bureau. Once we find him, let me handle it and kill him myself."

"Hey, General, forget it. Since that kid belongs to the Ao Jing Sect, it's none of your business. Let's go back to camp."

"No way! Peng Longteng doesn't hold grudges overnight! Whoever messes with me, damn it, they'll have to die!"

"But there's no reason for it. Oh, you lead troops to roam around the entire Later Shu, do you really think you're the emperor?"

"A general is subject to no constraints while outside. The bandits in Zhaoshan have rebelled and are slaughtering innocent people. I'm going to suppress them."

Cao Haiman looked helpless. "But did he really rebel? Weren't they just subdued by you?"

"I said he rebelled, so he did!"

Peng Longteng smashed the sturdy wooden bed with the hand held by the iron armor.

With the wolf-toothed club in hand, she smashed the head of a two-meter-long snake into a pulp.

Gao Zhijian picked it up and smiled foolishly before tossing it over his shoulder and heading back home.

This was a stone forest, although there were stones everywhere, it was no longer as barren as before. The green plants brought some life to the place.

Gao Zhijian didn't walk long before he saw the others in a cave.

"Do... do... do..." He held up the big snake and approached.

"What are you doing? Li senior brother said no fire, have some dry food."

However, Jinshan Zhao thought differently. He smiled and took the snake.

"You can cook it without fire. Can't we make snake meat?"

After saying that, he took out a small knife and peeled the snake, carefully slicing the fresh meat into pieces and arranging them neatly.

Jinshan Zhao picked up the chopsticks, picked up two pieces, dipped them in some chili powder, and put them in his mouth.

"Mmm~! It's incredibly delicious. Everyone, come and try it."

The others crowded around and ate it one after another.

The dog stopped eating and shouted at Li Huowang in the distance, "Li senior brother, come and eat snake meat. When you put this raw snake meat in your mouth, it's like chewing fat."

At this time, Li Huowang paid no attention to him and continued to try out his new ability, holding his head and attempting to manipulate his vision.

"Swipe~!" When Li Huowang opened his eyes again, he found that his vision was tilted and hanging on the stone wall, with his head below.

"Get closer... don't panic, take it slow..."

As Li Huowang suggested to himself, his vision slowly changed, gradually getting closer until it merged with his body.This time there was no difference. After so many days of training, Li Huowang could now confront it without any deviation.

Looking left and right, Li Huowang's phantom suddenly rushed towards the sitting mantou.

Search bit.ly/3iBfjkV for the original.

The sudden appearance in front of its eyes startled it, and its head fell back and fell to the ground.

Mantou got up, its ears drooping, wagging its tail towards Li Huowang's phantom.

Seeing this scene, Li Huowang thought to himself, "Don't worry about how it came, this ability is very useful."

"When fighting with others, suddenly using it can have an unexpected effect."

"But I still need to practice more, I need to be as skilled as Zu Yi."

Li Huowang can now make his phantom appear at will about a foot away from his body.

He can also leave his phantom in place, and make his invisible body appear in other places within a foot of his body. If the enemy attacks Li Huowang's phantom, he will not be harmed, just like when he fought with the female general before.

But this ability cannot be used indiscriminately. Others are not fools. If they suffer a loss once, they will be careful in the future.

"Senior Li, how is your supernatural power mastery going?" Bai Lingmiao walked over with a bowl of snake meat.

"It's okay." Li Huowang picked up his chopsticks and ate it like noodles.

Snake meat is not delicious, but for Li Huowang who is tired of dry food, it's still good.

"Senior Li, how long will it take for us to reach Houshu?" Li Huowang's chopsticks stopped, and he took out the detailed map of Jinshan from his pocket and looked at it again.

"We can't take the main road anymore. We can only take the small road later, or even not take the small road. But they don't know where our destination is, so I have the initiative in this regard."

"Two days later, we can reach here, and then we can go up for about seven days. We should be able to reach the border. We won't go through the checkpoint, but we will go around it. As long as we leave Houshu, we will be safe."

"But...we can't hold on for so long. Even if we save the dry food, we can only sustain ourselves for two days at most."
