Yangwei has fallen asleep peacefully, while Liu Ji and others who are thousands of miles away are trapped in a bitter battle.
Liu Ji is going crazy because they have been being hunted by cannibals in recent days.
Who would have thought that in such a ghost place, there would actually be a cannibal race.
This place is obviously rich in resources and has everything to eat, but these people still want to eat people?
Does this feel like cannibalism in a lean year? This is really unreasonable.
But it's useless to be aggrieved in my heart. Now Liu Ji and others are being chased and running away in embarrassment. It's almost a matter of life and death.
It's useless to say anything at this time, we can only try to save our lives first.
Lu Wan was panting and said to Liu Ji: "Brother, brother, we can't go on like this. There are only three of our old brothers left."
The only old brothers beside Liu Ji were Lu Wan and Fan Kuai. Together, there were really only three of them.
The remaining ten or so people are all new faces, and they have all gathered together recently.
Liu Ji didn't care whether these people died or not. What he cared about was whether Lu Wan and Fan Kuai would die.
In fact, Liu Ji didn't care that much about Fan Kuai's life or death. After all, no matter how important their lives were, they were not as important as Liu Ji's own.
The reason Liu Ji refused to abandon them was because Fan Kuai was loyal and unparalleled in combat. With him by his side, Liu Ji felt at ease, at least he would not be killed for no reason.
To be honest, without Fan Kuai, Liu Ji probably wouldn't have survived here.
The reason why Liu Ji refused to give up Lu Wan was because Lu Wan had a relatively high IQ.
Liu Ji felt more and more that Lu Wan was a smart person and could often make very precise suggestions.
Relying on these suggestions, Liu Ji saved danger many times.
With Lu Wan here, Liu Ji felt very at ease, especially when he was confused, there was someone he could discuss with.
Liu Ji felt that Lu Wan was becoming more and more shrewd after going through hardships.
Therefore, these two people are his right-hand men. Even if he abandons anyone, Liu Ji will not abandon them.
As for the remaining ten or so people.
It would be best if you can survive, after all, there is strength in numbers. If you are dying, then you have no choice but to die.
What more could you ask for in a hellish place like this? Just make do with it.
Liu Ji sighed and said to Lu Wan: "There are really only three of us old brothers now. What should we do?"
Lu Wan said: "Why don't we sue for peace?"
Liu Ji was stunned for a moment and said, "Seek peace? How to ask for peace?"
Lu Wan said: "Don't these savages like to eat people? Why don't we choose one person, clean him up, and send him over. Maybe after seeing our gifts, the savages will feel happy and let us go. .”
Liu Ji nodded and said, "It makes sense. But... what if they don't let us go?"
Lu Wan smiled bitterly and said to Liu Ji: "Brother, do you think we will still be alive after dawn?"
Liu Ji said: "Can't you?"
Lu Wan said: "Brother, don't you feel it? We have been in the same place recently."
"Those savages are extremely familiar with this place, and we are no match for them at all. They are slowly encircling us, rushing us to the same place, and then killing us one by one."
Liu Ji was silent: "I feel it too. We are like prey. We have been hunted by them non-stop in the past few days, and now we are cornered."
"Perhaps, after dawn, they will kill us and we will become their food. The thought of being hung up by them, cutting out our hearts and bleeding them, makes me... sigh."
Lu Wan said: "Brother, sighing here will not help. The most important thing is to find a solution."
Liu Ji nodded.
He said to Lu Wan: "Tell Fan Kuai and we will discuss it tonight."
Lu Wan responded.
After Lu Wan left, Liu Ji sat in front of the fire and fell into deep thought.
Sometimes, he was a little doubtful, wondering whether what he had been doing was right, whether it was necessary, and whether it should be done.
Perhaps, being a small figure in Peixian County is enough?
No, no, no, how can being a nobody be enough? Later, it is safe to marry a wife and have children, and become a rich man.
That's not right. Being a rich man is not enough. After becoming a rich man, you still want to be a high-ranking official and don't have to look at other people's faces.
Liu Ji thought a lot, and finally felt that human desires are endless, and no matter what he did, he would fall into the trap of desire.
Therefore, it is inevitable that I have reached this point.
Since it is inevitable, there is no need to think about anything, just do it...
While Liu Ji was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a noise coming from next to him.
Liu Ji stood up with his sword in hand and said in a panic: "What's going on? What happened?"
Someone said nervously: "Your Majesty, it's bad. Lu Wan and Fan Kuai are fighting."
Liu Ji was stunned and thought: "Why did these two people get into a fight?"
He hurriedly walked to the two men and asked: "What's going on? Why did they start fighting?"
Fan Kuai panted and said to Liu Ji: "This villain is as cowardly as a mouse. He has disgraced us all. I will beat him to death."
Lu Wan looked hurt and said: "You ignorant common man, what do you know? If you don't want to lose face, you should kill all those cannibals."
Fan Kuai said: "Do you think I didn't kill? I killed four or five people. If you hadn't dragged me down, I would have killed them long ago."
Lu Wan sneered and said, "Forget it. When it comes to bragging, you can do it."
Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Liu Ji said angrily: "Shut up, everyone."
So the two men shut up.
Liu Ji took a deep breath and said: "You two, listen to me. At this critical moment, anyone who dares to disturb the morale of our army will be killed!"
Neither of them dared to speak.
Liu Ji pulled Fan Kuai aside again and whispered again.
When Fan Kuai heard Liu Ji say that it was Liu Ji's idea to sacrifice his people to seek peace with the cannibals, he suddenly felt that the sky was about to fall.
He looked at Liu Ji dumbfounded and said, "Brother, are you crazy?"
Liu Ji shook his head slowly and said: "I'm not crazy, this is a helpless act. If we don't do this, I don't know how we can survive."
"Fan Kuai, you have to remember that if you ask for green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. Only when a person is alive can there be hope. If a person dies, then everything is gone. Do you understand?"
Fan Kuai was silent for a long time, then nodded slowly.
His voice was muffled: "I understand."
Liu Ji hummed: "As long as you understand. Okay, come with me. Go pick someone."
Liu Ji said oh.
Fan Kuai and Lu Wan were safe. They spent a long time choosing among the remaining dozen or so unlucky people, and finally they chose Liu Niang.
No one knows Liu Niang’s specific name.
But this guy usually acts like a girl, and his skin is fair and he looks pretty good. And because of this, this man admired Liu Ji very much and wished he could change his surname to Liu.
Therefore, these men call her Liu Niang.
Some people say that Liu Niang has a habit of cutting off her sleeves, but no one has really studied it.
Everyone wants to study it, but... maybe some people have studied it, but those who have studied it are unwilling to admit it.
Liu Ji observed for a while and said to Lu Wan: "What do you think...Mother Liu?"
Lu Wan hummed and said, "It looks quite delicious."
Liu Ji nodded and said, "That's him. Find an opportunity and ask him out."
Lu Wan said: "This...isn't this appropriate? If I ask him out, he won't come out, right? If it's you, brother, then he might come out."
Liu Ji had obviously heard about Liu Niang's character.
He said angrily: "What are you talking about? I'm a serious person."
Lu Wan coughed dryly and said, "There's nothing serious about this. It's just human nature."
Liu Ji said: "It's human nature to fart."
Lu Wan laughed.
Liu Ji took a deep breath and said, "That's all, big things are the most important. Go and tell Mother Liu that we will meet by the river at three o'clock tonight."
Lu Wan responded: "I understand."
Liu Ji ordered Lu Wan again, saying: "This matter... is best kept hidden from the brothers."
Lu Wan agreed.
…………
The third update has arrived.
The moon in the sky is big and round.
Liu Ji looked at the moon in the sky, feeling uneasy in his heart.
He walked to the river with mixed emotions.
He was not in a complicated mood because of killing Liu Niang, but... it was more complicated to face what was about to happen. Who knows what unimaginable things Liu Niang will do after a while.
Liu Ji walked to the river and looked around. It was empty and there was no one there.
"Shall I go? Liu Niang didn't come?" Liu Ji felt a little annoyed.
He is a great king. Although he is the great king of a few people here, but... he is also a great king.
How dare Liu Niang refuse the king's invitation? Is this too courageous?
Immediately afterwards, Liu Ji thought again, would Liu Niang make her invitation public and tell others? In that case, I would be really embarrassed.
Thinking of this, Liu Ji felt uneasy.
At this moment, Liu Ji suddenly heard the sound of rushing water.
He turned around and saw a human head sticking out of the water.
Liu Ji took a look and was surprised to find a person in the water. This person is none other than Liu Niang.
Liu Niang obviously takes a bath here.
Liu Ji was stunned: He...isn't he afraid of poisonous snakes in the water?
Liu Niang washed for a while and then crawled to the shore dripping wet.
He walked slowly in front of Liu Ji, and a gust of night wind blew, making him shiver with cold.
Liu Ji said quietly: "What are you going to do?"
Liu Niang said: "Your Majesty, I..."
Liu Ji frowned and said, "What are you?"
Liu Niang said: "I have admired you for a long time."
Liu Ji rolled his eyes and thought: This is so damn disgusting.
Liu Niang continued to say in an excited tone: "I am very happy that the king summoned me today. It was because of the hard work of the king."
Liu Ji frowned and said, "I came to you actually because of..."
Liu Niang said: "I understand, I understand, the army is lonely, and the king is no exception, so I want to..."
While speaking, Liu Niang's hand had already been put on Liu Ji's arm, and then she was about to climb up his body.
At this time, Liu Ji couldn't bear it anymore and punched Liu Niang hard on the head.
Liu Niang screamed and then fainted to the ground.
Liu Niang screamed before she fell to the ground, and it was this scream that attracted many brothers.
They looked at Liu Niang who fell on the ground and said nervously: "Your Majesty, what are you..."
Liu Ji said calmly: "This man dared to seduce me, so I knocked him down."
Everyone suddenly realized, and looked at Liu Ji with great admiration. Many people were thinking: Your Majesty, you are indeed a serious person, the most serious person among serious people.
Liu Ji said: "Liu Niang wants to defile the palace, so it would be a pity to die. But letting him die like this is really too easy for him."
"After much thought, I decided to give this person to the cannibals."
Everyone was stunned and said: "This...why is this?"
Liu Ji looked at the people around him, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't you know why?"
These people all whispered: "We really don't know."
Liu Ji chuckled and said, "The cannibals are our formidable enemies, causing us to run around in such a mess."
"Those savages are very familiar with this place. If we want to confront them head-on and escape from here, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it. So I thought about it, and I'm afraid there is only one way, and that is to make peace with them."
Everyone suddenly realized.
Someone asked cautiously: "How should we make peace?"
Liu Ji chuckled and said: "This is actually simple, just do what you want."
"Don't cannibals like to eat people? Let's just do what they like and send someone there."
"Look at this lady, she has fine skin and tender flesh, and she has been washed clean. If we give it to the cannibals, they will be extremely happy. Isn't that great?"
After hearing this, everyone nodded slowly and said, "It seems... that's true."
So, these people tied up Liu Niang.
They strung Liu Niang onto a big wooden stick.
Liu Ji said: "Let's go, let's send this guy to the cannibals."
Everyone said cautiously: "Are you going now?"
Liu Jin hummed: "Without further ado, offering it as a gift is completely different from being caught as a trophy."
Everyone nodded slowly: "That's true, it makes sense."
Someone else asked: "Are we all going?"
Liu Ji said: "You all have to go. Otherwise, we made friends with the cannibals and were released, but you were not released. Wouldn't that be an injustice?"
Everyone thought about it and felt that this made sense. So, they followed Liu Niang out of the jungle.
