Food was scarce. Li Yuguo did some calculations, and it was not a miscalculation, because there was only a little difference between the peak of the Mahayana period and the early stage of the Tribulation Period, so reaching the peak of the Mahayana period was not an accident.
"As expected, you are my good uncle, I love you to death!" Gong Chuchu said and hugged Li Yuguo's neck, then pouted and wanted to sneak attack Li Yuguo, but Li Yuguo blocked his mouth with his palm.
Li Yuguo looked disgusted: "Don't tease the good uncle without permission, little girl!"
"I'm not a little girl, I... I'm not little either!" Her cheeks bulged, and then she gestured to her towering chest, looking like she was complaining, but she still hugged Li Hugo's arm and pulled Li Hugo's arm She sank deeply into her chest.
Li Yuguo was also ashamed and planned to push away, but the Blackwater bandits seemed to be discussing something at this time. The black-bellied snake and the one-eyed snake suddenly knelt down towards Li Yuguo.
A group of black water bandits all bowed to Li Huguo: "Please allow us to follow you!"
At this time, another thin man ran out from the corner, holding a long bow in his hand. He also knelt down. Li Hugo squinted his eyes and said, "Is this your hidden arrow just now?"
"Sir, please forgive me. I was so young that I couldn't see Mount Tai. How could I have imagined that you are actually a master in the Mahayana period..."
The person who spoke was none other than Rattlesnake, the third of the three Blackwater brothers.
At this time, the three Blackwater brothers had gathered together, and Li Huguo said: "That's fine, but it's impossible to accept you. After all, I am just a traveler. After finishing my business in the Golden Hu Kingdom, I have to go back."
"You have to leave after you finish your work?" Gong Chuchu exclaimed.
Li Hugo said: "Yes, after all, I am a foreigner and not a native of your Golden Hu Country. It is quite inappropriate for me to stay here."
"No, no, I have to be responsible for you!" Gong Chuchu said in a sweet voice, with a stubborn look on her face.
Li Yuguo laughed: "Little girl, let me make it clear to you now that I don't need you to be responsible for anything in the past. Let bygones be bygones!"
"But..." Gong Chuchu was about to speak, but at this time Butterfly came to Gong Chuchu's ear and said, "Your Highness, the road back is long. If the Pharaoh knows that Brother Li is a Mahayana master, he will definitely hire him with a lot of money. Those who stay, our imperial city has so much gold and silver, are we still afraid that we won’t be able to keep him?”
"Yes!" Gong Chuchu thought for a moment and then felt relieved.
Rattlesnake is a shy middle-aged man who doesn't speak much, but always has a smile on his face. The three big guys are also very easy to distinguish. The black-bellied snake has a full beard.
The second one, the one-eyed snake, not only has one eye, but also has a mustache and a bald chin. Of course, he cares very much about his beard and takes care of it very cleanly.
The third rattlesnake had his chin beard neatly trimmed, with a small braid tied at the end, and there was a pink bow at the end of the braid.
The three of them rubbed their hands and came up to each other and said, "Master Li, look..."
"This..." Li Hugo was in trouble.
At this time, Butterfly came to Li Yuguo and said: "Uncle, this is a good thing. If you take in these Blackwater bandits, they will not have to continue robbing their homes. This is equivalent to saving the people here, and we will be here all the way." I don’t know what kind of trouble I will encounter, it would be nice to have more helpers.”
"If you can change your appearance and stop harassing the innocent people around you, then follow me. Escorting the princess into the city can be considered a credit." Li Hugo said, and Li Hugo naturally didn't value these credits very much.
There is a shortage of resources in the world right now. If possible, who would be willing to be a robber all the time? It is every man's dream to have a serious job, find a wife, and enjoy family happiness.
Therefore, the Blackwater bandits wanted to take refuge in Li Hugo, on the one hand because of Li Hugo's great ability, and on the other hand, they felt that Li Hugo's high status could allow them to get rid of the thieves' business.
Li Yuguo's agreement made the three of them happy, almost cheering. After all, Li Huguo was protecting the safety of the princess, and being able to be linked to the royal family, how could his status be so different
"Then let's go on our way now?" Butterfly looked at everyone.
At this time, Rattlesnake came over and said: "Since we have decided to follow the leader, how about we sort out our affairs? It won't take long. After all, we are all a group of desperadoes here. We don't have much luggage with us, just some belongings. "
Gong Chuchu said nothing. She looked at Li Yuguo. As long as Li Yuguo said he was willing, she would never object.
Li Yuguo looked at the sky. It was already getting late. If he continued on his journey, he might have to live in the wild, so he said, "Then let's set off tomorrow!"
As soon as these words came out, the three brothers became happy, and the black-bellied snake said: "That's great, brothers, go back and prepare a banquet for the leader!"
"Okay!" A group of strong men heard Li Yuguo's words and began to rejoice.
Li Huguo took all the corpses out of the latrines and dug graves for them to bury. Butterfly leaned against the wall and said, "Each of those strong men had more or less human lives on their hands."
"According to your opinion, I should kill them all?" Li Hugo put an unnamed wooden sign on the grave.
"Isn't it the tradition of you Central Plains people to kill for life?"
"In that case, I also killed five of them, and then they should also kill me." Li Yuguo stood up, patted the dust on his body and said.
Butterfly smiled and said: "So you plan to..."
"Look, if they do evil again, I don't need you to tell me, I know what they should do." Li Yuguo looked at the obsidian knife in his hand and said to himself that since the other party chose to go with him, he would be embarrassed to take the knife by force. .
However, the quality of this knife is also limited, and Li Hugo believes that he can find something that can replace this knife.
At night, a grand banquet was held in a cave not far from the village. It was a banquet for the bandits, and at the same time, the princess Gong Chuchu actually joined the party.
"Have one!" Gong Chuchu raised the wine glass and said.
Black-bellied Snake raised his thumb: "I thought that Your Highness, Princess, like other members of the royal family, would look down on us poor people, but I didn't expect that you would drink our wine. This makes us flattered!"
Gong Chuchu was already a little drunk, her pretty face turned red and she said: "They are them, I am me. What I can't stand the most is the red tape in the palace, so I came out for a walk, but I didn't expect that this walk... Here comes the handsome uncle!"
