Don’t Point at Me

"Don't come closer, all of you!"

"Ha, didn't expect to find a bunch of women in the middle of nowhere!"

"Brothers, have fun today, consider it your reward!"

"Thanks, boss!"

In the largest military tent, candlelight flickered, echoing with the soldiers' lewd laughter.

Seven or eight soldiers circled the women like cats playing with mice, laughing and teasing them. The women's panic only made them more excited.

Shen Li rushed forward with her small axe, swinging wildly:

"Get away, all of you!"

"Ha ha, a feisty little thing! I like them with spirit!"

"Keep screaming, see if anyone will save you!"

Zhang Lu sat smirking to the side:

"Consider yourselves unlucky. I've been in a bad mood lately and need to let off some steam!"

Shen Li's graceful figure and beautiful face excited him. He never expected to find such a beautiful woman among the refugees.

"Boss, is this okay?"

A soldier leaned in close: "I heard that Luo Yu is nice to his men. He might come to save them."

"Ha ha, I'm not afraid of him coming, I'm afraid he won't!"

Zhang Lu laughed coldly:

"If he dares to attack me in a fit of anger, I'll arrest him on charges of treason! A death sentence!

When he appears, keep your eyes sharp, don't let this kid escape!"

"Got it!"

"Alright, go have fun. You've been without women for so long, the brothers must be desperate."

"Got it!"

"Qiang soldiers! Qiang soldiers are coming!"

"Whoop whoop whoop!"

"Qiang soldiers are here! Get ready to fight!"

The tent erupted in shouts, the seven or eight soldiers stunned, panic flashing in their eyes. They feared nothing more than the Qiang soldiers.

Zhang Lu panicked too, shouting:

"What are you all standing there for? Grab your weapons and get ready!"

"Hurry!"

The soldiers were frustrated - they were about to take their pants off and now they had to fight? But life was more important, so they grabbed their pants and ran out, giving the women a moment of relief. For the first time, they actually wanted to thank the Qiang soldiers.

The sounds of shouting and screaming filled their ears. Zhang Lu paced angrily in the tent, but he didn't go out. From the sound of the hooves, there weren't many Qiang soldiers - at most a dozen. As a captain, he didn't need to risk his life personally.

Sure enough, the shouting stopped quickly, and Zhang Lu felt more at ease:

"Someone! What's going on!"

The tent flap opened, and instead of his guards, it was the person he hated most - Luo Yu.

The moment Luo Yu appeared, even Shen Li and the other women felt a bit more at ease. In their eyes, this man might be a bit ruthless, but he wasn't bad.

"Why is it you? Did you repel the Qiang soldiers?"

Zhang Lu's brow furrowed, unease rising in his heart:

"Someone! Damn it, where are they all?"

"Don't bother calling."

Luo Yu pulled up a chair and sat down, crossing his legs:

"Your men were knocked out by my brothers as soon as they left the tent. You could call until you're blue in the face, no one will come."

Such a familiar line.

"So it was you playing tricks! What do you want!"

Zhang Lu wasn't stupid. He immediately realized there were no Qiang soldiers, it was all a ruse by Luo Yu to trick his guards away.

Luo Yu spoke casually:

"I just wanted to ask you something privately, Captain. What were you planning to do with these women?"

"What I do is none of your business!"

Though nervous, Zhang Lu relied on his rank as captain, pointing at Luo Yu:

"A new recruit, lucky enough to win two battles and now you dare to show off in front of me? What are you?

Let me tell you, I'm going to play with these women today, what are you going to do about it? Kill me?

The charge of treason, you can't handle it!"

After being cursed at, Luo Yu's eyes grew colder. He turned to Shen Li: "You all go outside, I'll handle this."

Shen Li led the women out, she trusted Luo Yu completely.

"I'll see who dares to leave, are you all tired of living!"

Zhang Lu was furious, pointing at Luo Yu again: "This is really getting out of hand, you dare to disobey my orders…"

"Thud!"

A flash of cold light, a short dagger suddenly appeared, pinning Zhang Lu's hand to the table. Wood splinters flew, and a shrill scream echoed.

"I hate it when people point at me."

Luo Yu's cold voice rang out. The women were all stunned - that knife was too sudden, this was a captain!

But it was satisfying!

"Go!"

Shen Li hurriedly led her companions out, giving Luo Yu a worried look before leaving.

"Now it's just the two of us, I want to have a serious talk with you."

Luo Yu's expression was calm:

"I know you want to avenge Zhang Gui. He was your cousin, understandable. But there's a saying - revenge has a head and a tail. You could have come after me directly, but you shouldn't have used these women to force my hand.

I hate it when people use others' lives to threaten me!"

Luo Yu's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, and memories from his special past resurfaced.

In those memories, enemies had bound his best comrade to force him to show himself, leading to his comrade's tragic death, causing unbearable grief and anger.

That time, all the enemy corpses were chopped up and fed to dogs.

Luo Yu pulled the dagger out with a swift motion:

"You wanted to force my hand, well here I am. What are you going to do now?"

"Madman, you're really a madman!"

Zhang Lu clutched his bleeding right hand in terror:

"I'm a captain! How dare you attack me! You really want to rebel!"

"Rebel? Ha ha."

Luo Yu shook his head slightly:

"Who says you were killed by me? Didn't you hear the shouting outside? You died at the hands of the Qiang soldiers."

"Madman, you're crazy! I don't believe you dared to kill all my guards!"

"Let's make a bet."

Luo played with the dagger, a smile on his lips:

"Bet if I dare to kill you?"

The light smile hid extreme coldness, unimaginable how ruthless a heart could be under such a young face.

After a long silence, Zhang Lu finally broke down, trembling all over, collapsing to his knees:

"Please spare me, I won't say a word, what do you want? Money? Promotion?"

"I can spare you, and I want nothing."

Luo Yu tapped Zhang Lu's face with the blade: "But remember, when you anger me, a captain is nothing but a dog."

"I'll remember, I'll remember."

Zhang Lu was pale with fear. Actually, Luo Yu didn't want to kill him - who knew what trouble killing a captain would bring.

"Luo Head has quite the nerve, ha ha."

Mocking laughter came from the camp entrance. Xiao Shaoyou had appeared, a curved sword hanging from his waist.

"You finally came!"

Zhang Lu saw his savior, hope reignited, crawling over to Xiao Shaoyou:

"This scoundrel is rebelling, plotting against me, arrest him quickly!"

Xiao Shaoyou ignored him, looking at Luo Yu:

"Using Qiang soldiers as a ruse to lure soldiers out of the camp, trap them, then deal with Captain Zhang alone. Impressive."

Luo Yu's eyes narrowed, his grip on the dagger tightening. He was trying to figure out Xiao Shaoyou's stance.

Feeling ignored and desperate, Zhang Lu pointed at Xiao Shaoyou and shouted:

"I'm talking to you, are you deaf? Arrest this kid now, or I'll…"

"Thud!"

Before he could finish, Xiao Shaoyou's curved sword stabbed into his chest, eyebrows furrowed:

"Forgot to tell you, I also hate when people point at me."
