According to Cao Zhen's understanding, it is best to control such people. Giving wine and meat and money can make such poor people cry, kneel down on the ground, and telling these people to roll around, so that they will never learn to be a rooster crowing...

But the old man's attitude towards meat and money was extremely indifferent, just like seeing stones and weeds.

It’s not that the old man doesn’t eat meat, but it looks no different from eating black cakes. He will neither be happy because he eats more meat, nor will he feel uncomfortable because he is mixed with soil and gravel.

At the same time, the old man also ignored Cao Zhen's authority and had almost no emotional fluctuations. Sometimes Cao Zhen felt that the old man led them, like a group of sheep, neither sad nor happy, nor anxious. Cao Zhen and others walked faster, and the old man also moved faster. When Cao Zhen and others couldn't walk, the old man would not urge him.

This made Cao Zhen feel very awkward.

On the one hand, Cao Zhen needed such a guide, and on the other hand, Cao Zhen was also a little guilty because he could not control this guide with money and violence.

If Cao Zhen was in ordinary times, he would not have any interest in such a person, nor would he have the intention to observe. After all, he did not plan for each other. Although Cao Zhen could not talk about any plan, he would not have much interaction with people like the guide, but now he has to stay together for a long time...

The feeling of being unable to control everything made Cao Zhen anxious and irritable.

The old guide seemed to have noticed Cao Zhen’s thoughts and told Cao Zhen very simply and bluntly that if Cao Zhen doesn’t believe him, he can kill him directly and then return according to the same path. When the old guide said this, he was not a person who was so harsh and cowardly pretended, but was really fearless of life and death.

The old guide was not afraid of the force of Cao Zhen and others because he was strong. The old man was thin and any of Cao Zhen's subordinates could easily kill the old man. Moreover, the old man's carry-on weapon was just a small knife. Most people in the north had this kind of knife, which was used to cut some vine ropes and to cut and insert food inside on weekdays.

What is the purpose of the old guide? What do you ask for?

When Cao Zhen couldn't help but ask the old guide, he got an answer that Cao Zhen couldn't convince.

Loyalty and righteousness.

Of course, the old man’s original words were not these two words, but rather, that because he received the kindness of Fan Xian’s father, he was just repaying his kindness as a guide...

This...isn't this a fool?

Cao Zhen looked at the old man, as if he was looking at a fool, and then he seemed to see the same look in the old man's eyes.

In this world, there are really people who do not seek money or make a living or death for loyalty and righteousness?

With confusion, Cao Zhen arrived near Beiqu.

The old guide seemed to have completed the final task. He pointed to a row of chimneys with black smoke in the distance, "This is the Beiqu Workshop Camp."

That night, Fan Xian received a signal, and rushed to meet Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen felt the feeling of control he had lost before in Fan Xian again, and came back.

But just as Cao Zhen and Fan Xian were discussing some specific matters, the soldiers came to report that the old guide had committed suicide.

The old guide used the knife to cut the skin and muscles of his neck, cut off his trachea and blood vessels, and died silently and silently.

The knife is actually very dull, and it is very difficult to cut and cooked meat.

Cao Zhen really couldn't imagine how firm will he have to cut open his neck with such a blunt knife without making any sound...

And the wizard has completed the task, shouldn't it be paid, or...

Cao Zhen could understand that he was killed and silenced.

Did you commit suicide inexplicably?

Why?

Cao Zhen frowned.

"Old stubborn, he doesn't want to leave here..." Fan Xian sighed, "Just bury him here."

"His name?" Cao Zhen asked.
