Gao Yuan walked a few steps to the street, looked left and right, although it was only a little late, but they were gone, on the left is the main road out of the city, and on the right is the official mansion leading to Taoyi City. Gao Yuan thought for a moment, immediately turned around, and rushed in the direction of the outside of the city.

When they came to the outside of the city, they still did not see the whereabouts of those people, so the plateau walked along the avenue outside the city for three or four miles, only to see a forest on the side of the road, and the forest was faint, and there seemed to be a figure shaking.

Gao Yuan immediately turned around and walked into the woods, but as soon as he walked a few dozen steps, he noticed that someone was walking back and forth in the forest in the distance, as if he was patrolling, and it seemed that there was some secret hidden in the forest. And Gao Yuan didn't dare to be careless, carefully hid his figure, changed directions, and wanted to bypass the patrolling personnel and go into the forest to look.

But even after changing several directions, there were people patrolling, although with the martial arts of the plateau, even if it was a silent knockdown of them, it was not difficult to go deep into the forest to see, but in this way, it could only ensure that they could hide themselves at that time, and then the people in the forest would inevitably find out. Takahara didn't know what was going on in the forest, so he couldn't decide what to do.

After thinking for a while, the plateau climbed a big tree, climbed to the tip of the treetops, looked into the forest, and saw that in a clearing in the forest, there were dozens of people gathered, with different clothes and ornaments, but it could be vaguely seen that the two groups of people who walked past him just now were there, and everyone formed a semicircle, and there were two or three people in the circle, who seemed to be saying something to them, but the distance was too far to hear.

While the plateau was thinking about how to approach them, the crowd dispersed and went out of the forest, and the people who had just been patrolling and the people who had gathered to speak converged and came out of the forest from the southwest, and in a short time there was no one in the clearing.

Gao Yuan came down from the tree, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, and before he could figure out what they were doing, he had already dispersed, but he didn't hear anything, and at this moment, he only heard the sound of footsteps, and saw a figure coming from the forest, dressed in a dark gray cloth coat, with a hat on his head, covering his face, which was the person Gao Yuan felt a little familiar with on the street just now. Gao Yuan's heart moved, and it seemed that this group of people dispersed after gathering in the forest, and this person was obviously acting alone, whether to arrest him and ask him.

At this moment, the man suddenly took off his hat, fanned it a few times, and sighed deeply. And Gao Yuan couldn't help but be startled when he saw this person's appearance, only to see that this person was slightly fat, with a round face, hair like grass, strangled with a strip of cloth, and a sharp knife to untie his wrist was inserted in his waist, greasy but cold, and it looked very sharp.

This person was actually a stranger he met by chance when he disguised himself as an envoy to the county envoy on the plateau last time and went to the Qi State - the dog butcher.

At that time, Jing Ke was looking around for a helper to assassinate the King of Qin, and was recommended by his friend Gao Yuanli, so he went with Gao Yuan to find the dog butcher, and the two had a big meal in his dog meat shop, and found that this person was indeed a hidden master, Jing Ke wanted to slowly befriend this person and ask him to coerce him to assassinate the King of Qin. But that night, the dog butcher went to assassinate Tian Kezang, but was stopped by Gao Yuan, who then learned that the dog butcher had a very close connection with a mysterious organization, and was ordered by this organization to assassinate Tian Kezang. Moreover, the Jugou Butcher said that the sword dance Ji that Tian Kezhang gave to the plateau was also a member of this organization.

Later, Jian Wuji confessed her identity to Gao Yuan, and helped Gao Yuan rescue Lin Wenchun, who was kidnapped by this organization, and completely took refuge in Gao Yuan, and after the Gao Yuan was divided, this organization was likely to be Han Teng or Jiuli Clan's secret outpost in Qi State.

However, since then, the dog butcher has fled the Qi country, and for several years, the plateau has not seen the dog butcher again, and later Jing Ke also searched for the dog butcher in many ways, but did not find him, but did not expect to meet him here.

As soon as Gao Yuan's mind moved, he immediately appeared from behind the tree and stopped in front of the dog butcher.

The dog butcher immediately stopped and said in a deep voice, "What person? ”

Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Brother Dog Tu is not harmed, it is Li Yi, the envoy of the acting county, I don't know if Brother Dog Tu remembers?" ”

Li Yi was the pseudonym of the envoy of the plateau disguised as the county envoy, the dog butcher was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "It turned out to be the King of Han, and the dog butcher didn't know the true identity of the King of Han back then, so it was rude." ”

Gao Yuan smiled slightly and said: "When I befriended Brother Dog Tu back then, although I was not the King of Han, I also concealed my true identity from Brother Dog Tu, if you want to say rudeness, it should be my rudeness." ”

The dog butcher listened, laughed and said: "I haven't seen you for a few years, I can't imagine that the King of Han is still the style of the year, although my dog butcher has never liked to talk with the generations of the clan in his life, but it is a great blessing to be able to get to know the King of Han back then, and now I have opened another dog meat shop in Taoyi, if the King of Han does not give up, you might as well go to my dog meat shop to eat." ”

Gao Yuan was slightly stunned, he couldn't tell what the dog butcher was doing now, so he didn't dare to agree lightly, and only said: "Farewell that day, didn't the dog butcher brother say that he wanted to go back to his hometown?" Why is it here? ”

The dog butcher sighed and said, "It's a long story, it's not something that can be said clearly in a few words, so it's better to wait until we get back to my shop, and we'll talk while we eat." ”

Gao Yuan's heart turned over a few thoughts, although he did not have much contact with the dog butcher, but he could see that the dog butcher was quite heroic, heavy promise, light life and death, not afraid of power, but a promise, by his belief in the chivalrous creed of the death of the confidant, he had invited himself to his shop twice, if he still refused, obviously he would be despised by the dog butcher, and the little friendship established between the two before would be completely gone, but now the situation in Taoyi is complicated, and I don't know what the identity of the dog butcher is, It was indeed a bit risky to follow him like this.

Don't look at the plateau today despite the dissuasion of everyone, you must go out shopping, it seems to be risky, but the actual risk is not big, because the opponent would never think that the plateau would be a private business, it is impossible to prepare, if you make a hasty move, it will give the plateau a chance, but if you go to the dog butcher's shop, it will be different, that is the dog butcher's territory, who knows what will be arranged in the dog butcher's shop? But because of this, if you agree to the invitation of the dog butcher, you show that you have absolute trust in the dog butcher, and you will also win the trust of the dog butcher.

These thoughts flashed through Gao Yuan's mind, and he finally nodded and said, "Okay, since Brother Dog Tu sincerely invites you, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

The dog butcher's eyes flashed, and he said, "King Han, please." ”

―――――――― the dividing line――――――――― dividing line―――――――― poured a few bowls of wine in a row, and ate a few large pieces of dog meat, Gao Yuan wiped his mouth with his sleeve casually, and laughed: "Good wine and good meat, the skill of the dog butcher brother is still not reduced." ”

The dog butcher's eyes were blazing, and he said, "Now that the city of Taoyi is full of dangers, does the King of Han dare to deign to come to my small shop, and he is not worried about the poison in the wine and meat?" ”

Gao Yuan smiled faintly, looked directly into the eyes of the dog butcher, and said: "If Brother Dog Tu is a despicable villain who poisoned wine and meat, then only blame me for having no beads, seeing the wrong person, and not resenting others." ”

"Smack!"

The dog butcher slammed his palm on the table, shaking the soup in the big bowl and splashing all over the table, laughing and laughing: "The heart and courage of the King of Han are really beyond the reach of ordinary people, although my dog butcher is not talented, but I am also willing to make a friend of the King of Han, go to the soup and go to the fire, and it is not too late to die." ”

Gao Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Brother Dog Butcher is serious, but since Brother Dog Slaughter is so heavy that he can afford me, then I will also make Brother Dog Slaughter a friend." ”

The two drank a large bowl of wine from each other, and the dog butcher wiped his mouth casually and said, "King Han must want to know, what am I doing in the woods outside the city today?" ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, I just found it on the street by accident, but I didn't recognize Brother Dog Tu at the time, I just felt that there were some familiarities, and my behavior was a little suspicious, so I followed out, not wanting to bump into Brother Dog Tu." ”

The dog butcher put down the wine bowl and said, "King Han, let's not hide it, we gathered in the forest to discuss the destruction of your Three Kingdoms Alliance. ”

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that he had really bumped into it by mistake, and said: "What the hell is going on, how could Brother Dog Tu join them and destroy our Triple Alliance?" ”

The dog butcher laughed and said: "How can the King of Han forget, when I was in Linzi in the past, I was already working for an organization, and I was also ordered to assassinate Tian Kezang, if it wasn't for the King of Han to make a move that time, Tian Kezang would have died a long time ago." ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, but I also remember that Brother Dog Tu said at that time that he was going to leave the organization and go back to his hometown." ”

The dog butcher smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, after saying goodbye to the King of Han last time, I returned to my hometown Jiangdong to hide, but I only stayed for two years, and I was found by the people of the organization, but they didn't want my life, because they also knew that the person who stopped me at that time was the King of Han, and it was understandable that they couldn't kill Tian Kezang, and they probably still took a fancy to my skills, so they still asked me to continue to serve them and make up for my mistakes." I had no choice but to accede to their request, so I settled in Taoyi and opened a dog meat shop. But I have lived for several years, and I have not received a mission, and just a few days ago, I received an order from the organization, and a task was issued, and I went to the woods today to get the order, and the order given to us was to go all out to destroy this alliance and kill Tian Kezang. ”

After hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but be taken aback, because he now knew that the organization that the dog butcher worked for was the stronghold of Han Teng or the Jiuli clan in the Qi State, and it seemed that Han Teng was indeed preparing to attack when the Three Kingdoms Alliance was in place, so he hurriedly asked, "How are you going to act?" ”
