Chapter 28 Two Forces in Mercenary Field

"Do you see the flag above?" Hua Qingshui asked, pointing to a yellow flag with the word "Hu" hanging high outside the camp.

"This must be Hu Bijie's base." Dugu Muyou said, "In this case, we can go inside."

"Do you mean he prepares dinner? Ha-ha!" Hua Qingyue hugged his arms and smiled. Dugu Muyou chuckled and replied, "Yes."

When they were about to go inside, they heard a sound coming from behind. Looking back, they saw that a group of people was coming out of the woods with torches in their hands. The three looked at each other and wondered who came.

The man walking in the front of the group saw the three people, so he shouted with great enthusiasm from a distance, "Miss Dugu! Brother Hua!"

Dugu Muyou smiled, "It is Brother Hu! Why are you here?"

At the same time, Hua Qingyue and Hua Qingshui also saw the brawny man behind the fire. It was Hu Bijie. The Valley of Magical Animals was really small.

Hu Bijie touched a huge boar carried by a few people and laughed, "I went inside in my spare time, but I didn't expect to get the prey. Ha-ha!"

Dugu Muyou saw that the wild boar had more than 300 kilograms with dark skin. The blood was bleeding at the corners of its mouth. At first glance, she knew it was the prey that they captured just now.

"Brother Hu is so great! It seems that we will have a good meal tonight!" Hua Qingyue flew over flexibly and landed on the side of the boar, using his finger to poke the boar, "Great. The pork is chewy."

Dugu Muyou was ashamed. Buddy, when did you study the boar?

Hu Bijie smiled heartily again, "Since you think this wild boar is good, why don't you go with me to my camp for a drink? I want to thank you for your last life-saving grace. I don't think you will refuse the invitation, do you?"

Hu Bijie was a straightforward man, so he went to the point straightly. Dugu Muyou smiled because of his straightforward words and said, "Yes, Brother Hu. We come here tonight for the dinner. We rolled down from the top of the mountain and arrived at this place, so there was no way to go back at this moment."

"No problem! Regard here as your home. Don't be polite!" Hu Bijie was happy to hear that they wanted to have dinner with him and showed his warm welcome!

"In this case, let's go."

The camp was not far away, so they walked quickly. They arrived at the camp in a short while. It was too late, and you could see the lights over there with the smell of food.

When the guards saw Hu Bijie and others returning, they came out to greet them. When they saw the three strangers who followed, everyone had their own guess, but no one asked a question.

Then someone commented, "The three saved us when we fought with Jiuqi Demon a few days ago! I didn't expect our boss to bring them over!"

"That's right! I remember the girl in front because she was very powerful!"

Hearing that they were rescued by Dugu Muyou, everyone was grateful. When the group walked into the camp, the soldiers were divided into two rows to express their welcome. It was very high-end.

Dugu Muyou and others went into the hall.

"Please sit down. Don't be polite, Miss Dugu. I hope that you will like the dinner. Ha-ha!" Hu Bijie didn't know how to start the conversation, scratching his head unnaturally. "Take it easy."

Hu Bijie took care of them all the time, so Hua Qingyue joked that this care felt a bit interesting.

"Brother Hu, what are you talking about? We are all men who fight in the world. We won't care so much about the unnecessary and overelaborate formalities. Don't treat me as a wealthy and pampered girl. If you are too polite, I will be very unhappy to drink with you!"

Dugu Muyou knew that she needed to observe the culture in the new place. If she was bashful here, it would inevitably cause a lot of inconvenience, so it was better to be casual.

Hearing what Dugu Muyou said, Hu Bijie laughed again, "You are not only outstanding in appearance but also have a very straightforward personality! I like you!"

Dugu Muyou held up the drink and said respectfully, "Brother Hu, you are a real hero. Come on, I will toast you with a glass of wine!"

Hu Bijie saw that Dugu Muyou was so easy-going and he laughed, holding up a bowl of wine and saying, "Okay! Come on, let's drink together!"

After drinking, Hu Bijie asked again, "There must be no other people you know in Valley of Magical Animals, right? The world is dangerous if you are not careful enough. Do you find the place for rest tonight?"

Dugu Muyou and brothers from the Hua Family looked at each other. They smiled and said, "Brother Hu, you visit the valley frequently, so you must know the terrain very well."

Hu Bijie smiled and said, "Not very professional. But I know a little because of my long training before. Where are you from?"

Dugu Muyou put down her wine glass, looked at Hu Bijie, and said, "Brother Hu, do you know Xue Linglong in the Valley of Magical Animals?"

Hu Bijie was restless when he heard Xue Linglong and asked again hesitantly, "Do you mean a blood-red flower?"

When Dugu Muyou heard this, she knew that Brother Hu really knew that flower, "Yes! We came here and saw a lot of Xue Linglong. There is a small house. But we didn't see anyone living in it."

Hu Bijie sat on the ground just now and then stood up. After walking around the room two times without speaking, Hua Qingyue looked at him. Hua Qingshui and Dugu Muyou looked at each other. Everyone guessed that Hu Bijie had some connection with that place. What was that?

"To be honest, my deceased wife lived there."

Dugu Muyou almost made a sound in surprise, stood up, and walked to Hu Bijie's side. She said sadly, "I'm sorry, Brother Hu. It's your sadness. We do not know that it is your wife's residence. Forgive me. I hope that you will not be angry."

Hu Bijie waved his hand and said, "It's okay. My wife died a few years ago, but I never forget her, so I maintain her residence. And I found Xue Linglong from Taoyuan Wonderland to guard that place, fearing beasts will destroy my wife's house."

Dugu Muyou nodded. That was the story. Hua Qingyue said that those flowers needed careful cultivation before they bloomed. It was Hu Bijie who took care of those flowers. He valued personal feelings.

Hua Qingshui looked at Hu Bijie and asked, "Brother Hu, you train in the Valley of Magical Animals all the time. Do you know how to get out here?"

Dugu Muyou glanced at him. In fact, she also wondered about this question. It was very inconvenient to stay here. She wanted to go out, but she didn't have the ability to go out now.

Hu Bijie shook his head gently and said, "There is a way to get out, but no one can get out now."

"Why?"

Hu Bijie looked at the sky outside and said, "The exit of the Valley of Magical Animals will only appear on the night of the full moon. Those who need to go out should have high spiritual qi. Otherwise, they will be swallowed by the dark wind. But today is the beginning of the month. If you want to go out, you have to wait for the full moon."

Dugu Muyou understood that this exit was not a gate. It also needed the right time, but it made her happy that going out was not impossible.

While they were discussing, Zou Quanfu and others came over. Seeing Zou Quanfu, everyone bowed their heads and called him the second brother.

All the soldiers did not dare to pant loudly. Since their two battalions were arranged in one large camp, everyone walked away when they saw Zou Quanfu. He was not easy to talk to. If he was offended, he would fight back.

"Well," Zou Quanfu responded in a very arrogant tone.

"Big brother."

Hearing someone talking outside, Hu Bijie looked back and saw that Zou Quanfu, the commander of Water Edge, was coming.

"Brother Zou is coming. Come in and sit down."

Zou Quanfu saw three strange guests sitting inside. He looked at Hu Bijie and asked, "If I knew you have some guests, I would bring some wine. I have some vintage wine!"

Hu Bijie patted Zou Quanfu's shoulder, smiled, and said, "They are my distinguished guests, and I treat them with the best wine. Come on! Let's drink together."

Hua Qingyue and Hua Qingshui were confused and looked at each other. Wasn't it said that the people of Wings of Wind and Water Edge were always at odds? He also heard that Zou Quanfu and Hu Bijie always argued in private.

But now they talked in peace, so Hua Qingyue and Hua Qingshui felt puzzled.

Wasn't it strange?

Dugu Muyou looked at the two with a meaningful smile. Both of them were deceptive.

Zou Quanfu looked at the three people, clasped his fists with a smile, and said, "You are our distinguished guests. Thank you so much for saving my big brother a few days ago. I appreciate it so much!"

Brothers of the Hua family clasped their fists and smiled, "Brother Zou, you are too polite. It's easy."

They looked peaceful but dangerous. Dugu Muyou squeezed the cup in her hand and did not drink another sip of wine.

Hu Bijie arranged a resting place for the three of them in camp, and then he went to see Zou Quanfu alone. When he saw Zou Quanfu, Hu Bijie grabbed Zou Quanfu's collar.

"Big brother, what are you doing? I just want to entertain your guests well. Why are you so angry?" Zou Quanfu didn't feel ashamed and pretended to be kind.

Hu Bijie sneered, "Ha? Help me? Really? If the three guests were not polite today, we would lose face. Why do you say some ambiguous words?"

Zou Quanfu didn't care at all. He just looked at one place with his darting eyes. He seemed to be in a daze and slowly pulled the hair on the scab on his face, "Big brother, I don't think you are angry only for this matter, right?"

Hu Bijie looked indifferent. He looked down upon the man in front, "What do you mean?"

Zou Quanfu smiled and said, "Nothing. Although I'm just a little educated, I heard that if two men rode on a horse, one must ride behind. Big brother, do you know?"

Hu Bijie got raged. How dare Zou Quanfu?! The villain brought suit against his victims.

"If you don't want to stay in the Valley of Magical Animals, you can tell the Lord that you want to guard other important places, but the Valley of Magical Animals is the training ground for Wings of Wind all the time. I must guard here to the end."

Zou Quanfu laughed. "Why do you say this, big brother? I know myself very well. Don't regard me as a bad guy."

Hu Bijie snorted. He understood everything. He knew Zou Quanfu's plan clearly. Both of them didn't say it out.
