Encountering the so-called Jianghu incident for the first time, Sun Wu was confused. Everything he saw was testing his values again.26nbsp;
Growing up in Liangshanbo, Sun Wu was not so intolerant of robbing homes and blocking roads. After all, there are black and white in this world. Since there are officials and knights, of course there will also be robbers and thieves, as long as they can abide by the minimum norms and morals.
, don’t become an unscrupulous thief, then this is also a necessary evil that will last forever. It is for this reason that Sun Wu will participate in the gang leader’s birthday party.
But there are some most basic moral principles that cannot be violated in the green forest. "Insulting" women has always been a taboo that is despised. In addition, no matter how fierce or evil the robber is, he should not take the last bite of someone.
Life-saving food, if you do these things, you have crossed that limit, and everyone should be punished.
Nowadays, several provinces in the south are flooded, and millions of victims have been displaced. The relief money is their life-saving money. It is not an emergency, it is really life-saving. If Sun Wu had not had another mission, he would have wanted to step forward and try to save lives.
Do something, and these thieves in front of me are having a luxurious birthday banquet here, eating and drinking, and trying to steal the last bite of people's food. This kind of behavior is really not moral at all. The more Sun Wu looks at them
The more words and deeds you have, the more anger will arise in your chest.
However, even Sun Wu himself felt pathetic, because although he was very unhappy, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he served the bowl and collected the plates with great recognition, playing the role of a waiter perfectly. Instead of
To say that I care about the part-time salary is rather to say that it is a habit I have established over a long period of time. Once I take a job, I have to complete it. As for not wanting to be associated with these people, that will only happen after I finish the job.
"...The owner's education is so good that there is nothing I can do about it."
"Hey, I'm not a dog, and my sister didn't raise me, so don't say that."
Hearing what Xiao Shang said, Sun Wu seriously protested. It would be fine if he was just joking about himself, but when it came to his sister, Sun Wu would definitely give priority to protecting his sister's reputation. Xiao Shang did not argue with him.
The girl was lying on the table as if she was bored, not knowing what she was thinking, and things quickly spiraled out of control.
In order to carry out an assassination plot, it is necessary to select candidates, but for such a local gang, even if all the gang masters are used, they can only be wiped out in the face of the enemy's powerful strength, so the contingency strategy becomes
In order to select a death squad, they will rush over at all costs, even if they commit suicide and die in front of the enemy's eyes, in order to weaken the enemy's morale.
It was clearly stated that they were death squads, so of course this was a mission that was sure to result in death. All the gang members lined up to go on stage to draw lots. Of course, those who did not win were relieved and pretended to be regretful when they left the stage. Although the appearance was fake, the winners were
There was no room for pretense, most of them burst into tears on the spot, and some even fainted on the spot.
In a noisy environment, a fourteen-year-old boy carrying a stack of dinner plates was having a conversation with the head waiter, and was surprised by the head waiter's request.
"Ah? What? You want me to go on stage to draw lots?"
"That's right, in order to give those righteous people a little more power, the old man decided to draw lots of life and death from all the gang members and form a death squad to assassinate Brother Zhengqi, so that those righteous people don't dare to underestimate us."
"But... I'm just a waiter, and I'm not yet fifteen years old..."
"You don't have to worry about this. We are doing things according to the rules. Everything has been institutionalized. You will not get the benefits and pensions you deserve because of your low position and young age. Just go with confidence.
.”
"No, that doesn't seem to be the problem. In fact, I..."
Sun Wu wanted to tell the foreman-looking gangster cadre that he was not one of their gang members, but just a temporary worker hired with a few pennies. However, the scene was chaotic and no one paid attention to what he said, and it meant nothing.
Yong, when he noticed this, he realized that most of the temporary workers had already sneaked away, and the originally bustling scene suddenly became deserted. What was even worse was that Sun Wu discovered that Xiao Shang had already disappeared without knowing when.
Mixed in the crowd, queued up to go on stage.
(Xiao, Xiaoshang, what is she doing? What is she doing in line? Does she really want to draw that lottery, right? Ahhhhh~~~ This is not Wei Ya’s big draw, what is she doing to draw something like this?
?) The big crisis that suddenly appeared in front of him made the young man's head as big as a bucket, and he was so painful that he held his head and shook it.
(Ahhhh~~Why does Xiao Shang always like to do things that cause trouble? We don’t even know what to do with our own affairs, so why is she going to cause other troubles? By the way, she just goes
Drawing lots, there are so many lots in the lot, she may not win, right? No, it should be said that she will definitely miss, what is the chance, hahaha, I am so unfounded.) It’s so big
There were at least hundreds of bamboo sticks in a bamboo stick, densely packed together. Just looking at the density and quantity, Sun Wu naturally became optimistic, feeling that even if he deliberately wanted to win, it would not be that easy.
It was such an easy thing that my whole heart felt relaxed, and I even wanted to dance, but I happened to see Xiao Shang who was about to step onto the stage, and turned his head and smiled strangely in this direction.
Just such a smile made the cheerful young man who was originally happy feel like he was hit by five thunders, his knees weakened, and he knelt down weakly.
(...Smiling so confidently, she must have some way to win the lottery. What a tragedy, Xiao Shang will really be pulled down this time.) The young man has already had such a sad realization, if he doesn't respond to his
Expectation, let alone the bamboo stick that was drawn, even the bamboo stick would feel uncomfortable. As a result, the sound of expectation echoed loudly in the young man's ears.
"Oh, it's incredible. Our gang actually has such a young female gang member, and she also won the lottery of life and death. I am honored to participate in this glorious mission. Congratulations."
The applause from the audience was thunderous. Sun Wu had heard applause many times before, but it was rare for him to be like this. Everyone who applauded was happy from the bottom of their hearts. Just listening to the applause, you can understand that they are
How excited I am at this moment.
The host of the ceremony seemed to have said something else, but Sun Wu didn't listen at all. Although it was only for a short moment, he was indeed carried away by anger, and like a furious tiger, he knocked away all the people around him and in front of him.
, strode onto the stage with astonishing momentum, ignored the astonished look in the emcee's eyes, grabbed Xiao Shang's hand, wanted to take her off the stage, and then asked her what the purpose of doing this was.
However, at the brief moment when Sun Wu stretched out his hand to grab Xiao Shang, Xiao Shang's left hand suddenly moved like lightning, as if something was stuffed in it, and was pushed into Sun Wu's palm. The angry Sun Wu waved his hand and pushed, and the wooden tube burst with a sound, and countless
Bamboo splinters and sawdust scattered around and fell to the ground, while Sun Wu held a remaining bamboo stick in his hand, with a red mark painted on the long tail.
"This, this is..."
After his anger was replaced by a feeling of astonishment, the young man returned to his docile nature. Under the gazes of hundreds of people in the audience, he stammered and was speechless. However, from the surprised look in the emcee's eyes, he had a vague feeling in his heart.
A very bad idea, and as his childhood sweetheart, he was honored to be responsible for revealing the answer.
"Crybaby, congratulations."
"...I...did I really win..."
"It's not just that you won the lottery. Congratulations. You may not have the chance to win the lottery once in your life, but you have got it now."
"...The so-called king of lottery is..."
I was so sad that these words really brought me tears and snot from my nose. I heard the emcee next to me, who had returned to his senses, announce loudly to the audience.
"The quota for the Suicide Squad has been filled. Brothers in the audience, congratulations on winning the lucky prize. And the little brother next to me, congratulations on winning the big prize, and it is also the first special prize in this lottery. You will win with
As the leader, you will lead the death squad and promote the prestige of the gang. Your settlement allowance will be double that of others, and your name will always be listed on the hero list of the gang. Congratulations, you are young and have the opportunity to do great things..."
The emcee seemed to have said a lot more, but Sun Wu couldn't hear a word of it, because the audience burst into applause again at this moment, and Sun Wu could definitely hear it. This applause was even more joyful than when Xiao Shang won the lottery before.
times, especially when many people stood up with tears in their eyes, smiling and applauding the young man. Sun Wu really didn’t know what else he could do besides laughing...
Recalling the whole incident, Sun Wu always felt it was ridiculous, because even if he had to choose the death squads, handing over the important task to a teenage boy, and there was a seemingly fragile girl in the team, no matter how you look at it, this is
For a group that has been exposed to many things, why did the gang bosses let this matter go through without any objections?
Soon after, from the conversations of people around him, Sun Wu finally understood that this was the mentality of the gangsters. Whether the death squads' actions were successful or not, the bosses didn't care at all, because the lives of these low-level gang members were not at all important.
The importance and importance are just small props used randomly. If this batch fails, just draw lots to choose another batch. It doesn't matter who is sent out. Anyway, they are just a small number among the ant soldiers.
Just a small batch.
Sun Wu had deep feelings, especially when the gang bosses in luxurious clothes praised and paid tribute to the heroic and brave team members, although their eyes swept over his face, he was sure that they would not remember anything. The kind of turning a blind eye.
The careless look in their eyes showed the value of the low-level gang members in their eyes, which particularly touched Sun Wu's mind.
(What do these guys regard human life as anything? Are the officials of the Dawu Dynasty and the emperor of the Dawu Dynasty like these gangsters? Everyone does not regard human life as life. No wonder the world outside has changed.
It’s like this.) But it’s one thing to despise human life, but welfare and systems are another matter. Those gang bosses were quite generous with the death squads’ settlement allowance and pension, which even surprised Sun Wu and wondered why.
They did not withhold it to line their own pockets.
Soon after, Sun Wu found out the reason. The gang leader responsible for distributing the resettlement allowance thought that he was dissatisfied with the amount of money, and explained to him that the amount of money to be paid for each task had been institutionalized and clearly stated in the gang rules.
No matter who the brothers are on the mission, they will act according to the rules without exception. Even relatives of important people cannot break the rules.
"...In this current situation, in this situation, why are so many brothers willing to work hard for the gang? Is it because they believe in the system and rules of the gang, and feel that even if they die in the line of duty, what they deserve will still be protected
, so I am willing to die with a smile on my face. This is the importance of Dharma and faith. Even the boss of the gang will definitely act according to the rules and will not destroy his own sign."
Sun Wu seemed to understand what he heard, and felt that the officers and soldiers of the Dawu Dynasty were in a mess, but these local gangsters who committed evil were so strict in the system, and the entire organization was capable and efficient. With the current situation, it is no wonder that the world is in chaos and cannot become a
Civil servants have no choice but to join the gangs and sell their lives and future in exchange for food and clothing today.
Thinking of these things, Sun Wu unknowingly took the bag. It was not until the heavy gold in the bag clanged that he remembered that he had forgotten the most important thing.
"...So, you were originally going to explain to them and resign, but after talking to someone on the phone, you got the money back in a daze, and even took the job by the way?"
"I didn't agree to take the job. I was just thinking about some deeper issues. As I was thinking about it, I forgot to explain. They threw the money to me and I forgot to give it back to them."
"Xiao Wu is so great. He is almost burning his butt, but he can still think about the people of the world. With such an amazing sentiment, many girls will fall madly in love with you in the future, and the whole society will be grateful to you."
"...Why am I not happy at all when you praise me like this? You are not really praising me, are you?"
Xiao Shang didn't answer directly. She moved her hands up and down, as if she was dancing some kind of strange dance. When Sun Wu asked what kind of movements it was, she answered calmly.
"This is a simulation of what happened when Liang Shanbo fell. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Everyone turned into meatloaf. Before he died, he sadly asked why some people ran outside and played hard without taking care of themselves.
The Buddha's blood relic was retrieved, turning everyone into meat patties."
It was as if he was reciting poetry in an exaggerated tone. After Xiao Shang finished speaking, he stretched out his finger and poked the pale Sun Wu on the forehead, and uttered the words he was most afraid of hearing.
"……Murderer!"
"Whoa, ah, ah, ah, ah, no, no!"
Compared to Xiao Shang's indifference, Sun Wu's reaction of holding his head and whining was so intense that people couldn't help but make fun of it.
After entering Mingdeba, he received too much information and all kinds of unexpected chores came one after another. Sun Wu was busy dealing with it and had no time to calm down and think. His mind was filled with thoughts about various things. This time he was a little sad.
When I woke up, I realized that I had been completely led away by the nose.
"Then...what should we do now? Are we going to run away again?"
Sun Wu shook his head and immediately rejected the idea. In his life after leaving Liangshanbo, he seemed to be constantly running away. If he continued like this, he would be dealing with an evasive attitude. Nothing would make progress, let alone within half a year.
Recovering the Buddha's blood relic has relieved Liangshanbo's fall crisis.
If someone else wins the lottery, if they are greedy for life and want to escape, the gang will definitely come to their door and kill the whole family. So on the one hand, there is no way out, and on the other hand, they have to pay a huge settlement fee. , the person who won the lottery of life and death had no choice but to move forward bravely, but he and Xiao Shang had no such worries. This Guanghong Gang had no idea of their own details, so it was easy to leave.
But thinking about it, in fact, things can also be viewed from the opposite side. The Buddha's blood relic was stolen by Nalan Yuandie, and Nalan Yuandie is a special agent officer of the Dawu Army. If you want to recover the Buddha's blood relic, you must be able to Only when you come into contact with the inside of the Dawu Army will you gain strength.
I can only earn enough to eat when I am working around like this now. Even if I give it another three to five years, I will not be able to get in touch with the senior officials of the Dawu Army. From a general perspective, I want to find the Buddha's blood. For the relics, there must be an outsider to help. This person must not only be familiar with everything in the outside world, but also preferably a powerful person who can help him get in touch with the senior officials of the Dawu Army.
Since Lu Yunqiao is recognized as the best hero in the world and a hero who saves the country that everyone admires, he must be a very righteous person and a kindhearted person. If I could meet him, I would ask him to uphold justice and give me some guidance. The likelihood of him agreeing is quite high.
If Lu Yunqiao can stand up for him, as the 'chairman' of the alliance, he has so much power in his hands, what can't be done or accomplished? The Buddha's blood relic can also be returned to his hands.
These thoughts had gradually taken shape when they were hiding in the nearby mountains a few days ago, but Sun Wu was not a fool. He knew that with Lu Yunqiao's current status, he and Xiao Shang rashly went to ask for a meeting, but were kicked out before they even met. In addition, even if I use force to break through, I heard that there are many masters in the alliance, and my own cultivation level cannot be put on the stage, it is simply humiliating myself.
(Since you can’t see it through the normal method, it’s better to do the opposite and use this opportunity to use the gang’s intelligence and funds. On the surface, it’s to assassinate Lu Yunqiao, but in fact, it’s to get a chance to see him. Yes, this idea will definitely work. It makes sense.) The more he thought about it, the more he realized that this was a clever plan. Sun Wu nodded repeatedly, and just as he was about to explain to Xiao Shang, she already took the initiative to pat her shoulder.
"It's a good idea to take advantage of the assassination opportunity to meet Lu Yunqiao. Xiao Wu can come up with such a bad idea, which proves that you are not an ordinary crybaby."
"Why do you know immediately no matter what I think? Does my expression look that obvious?"
"It's very obvious that you have bad ideas, and it will become more obvious day by day from the beginning."
"Why? Did something happen just now? I just brought back this bag of resettlement money. If you are a bad person if you use this money, then I will donate this money to the victims of the Jiangnan Water Town."
"You really haven't noticed at all...haven't you thought about what your idea means?"
Xiao Shang deliberately paused for a few seconds to make Sun Wu confused. Finally, he patted him on the shoulder and revealed the answer with a sneer.
"Taking over the task of the gang means that you become one of them. In other words, your first job after leaving Liangshanbo is to join the gang."
"Whoa, ah, ah, ah, ah, no, no!"
The same history often repeats itself over and over again. When people focus on what they want, they forget what they originally insisted on. When this important point is brought up, the boy's head-holding scream instantly echoes through the sky.
After coming out of Liangshanbo, the first job he took was as a killer, and he also joined the underworld. This was really an unexpected thing. For Sun Wu, he also gradually understood what it means to be impermanent.
Since he took over the job, Sun Wu's sense of responsibility urged him to take it seriously. The role he was given was to lead a death squad to attack the Yunyin team. Theoretically, it would never succeed, but as long as all the death squads died heroically,
Sacrifice in an illegal manner can deal a blow to the morale of Yunyin's team and make them understand the determination of gangsters everywhere to win.
"In short, they want us all to die there. These people don't even think that we can do anything other than 'suicide'... Well, if we really grab the disaster money, these gang bosses will
I don’t know what the expression will be like.”
Of course, Sun Wu would not be tempted by the disaster relief funds, but thinking that he was so underestimated by others, he felt a little unfair. He was also curious about how far he could go if he let it go, and whether he could stand out in the competition among the world's heroes.
However, this thought passed away in a flash and was immediately thrown out of Sun Wu's head. After all, the disaster bank was of great importance, related to the life and death of millions of victims in the south of the Yangtze River. If he ignored the importance of the matter just to try his skills,
, that is really a heinous crime.
However, when Sun Wu turned his head and looked back at Xiao Shang, he found that his companion's eyes flickered, with a malicious look, as if he was planning something.
"Xiao Wu seems to be very interested in the disaster funds... Oh, you are curious about the extent of your ability and want to give it a try."
"I, I just thought about it, no, I didn't even think about it, it was just a thought that crossed my mind. Don't take it seriously, forget it immediately!"
Sun Wu shook his hands and denied it repeatedly, fearing that Xiao Shang, fearing that the world would not be "chaotic", would start to put his own ideas into action, and then he would be out of control, because even he couldn't stop what Xiao Shang decided.
(Oh, Xiaoshang is seriously considering grabbing the disaster silver, right? If you can’t grab it, forget it. If she really robs it, we will become the public enemies of everyone in the world! This is the so-called martial arts
Scum?) What made Sun Wu relieved was that this worry did not come true. Xiao Shang just smiled at him and said approvingly: "Well done, doing a job is like a job. As soon as you join the underworld, you will be full of wants."
Robbery, you are indeed a born bad boy."
These words really made Sun Wu dumbfounded, but in order to prevent Xiao Shang from thinking about it any more, Sun Wu could only remain silent so as not to irritate this dangerous person.
Now that the decision has been made, Sun Wu is ready to go to the Guanghong Gang's headquarters again to make some due explanations and to inquire about some necessary information.
To attack the transportation team, you must know the route of the Yunyin team. The other party will definitely keep this aspect secret. It is not easy to find out. However, it is thousands of miles from north to south. Even if the transportation team can fly, it is impossible to completely avoid it.
People's eyes and ears, especially the "sexual" gangsters in these places, are most familiar with various shortcuts. No matter which route they take, they can master it. Therefore, as long as they enter the gangster's control area, the route of the bank team will no longer be traced.
There is no secret.
"The empty road is the fastest, but the empty road is the least likely to be taken."
When discussing possible routes with Sun Wu, Xiao Shang spoke categorically. Sun Wu had no doubts about Xiao Shang's judgment because she was a top magic weapon maker. If she was given enough materials and equipment, she could even make a complex weapon like the Feiyun Ship.
Giant things can be built, and her professional judgment in this area is more reliable than anyone else's, but it's just not easy for others to understand.
"The sailing speed of a huge airship like the Feiyun Ship is actually not very fast, and it even loses to some special ground vehicles. I think the Dawu Dynasty has not yet mastered such difficult technologies as visible light interruption and energy field.
, Without these key technologies, that huge airship will become very fragile. As long as we have appropriate heavy firepower and the terrain, we are 90% sure to knock it down in a short time."
Xiao Shang didn't need to explain the next situation. Sun Wu could also imagine it on his own. I heard that the disaster silver that was transported was all gold. Even if it was hit, he was not afraid of damage. As long as he knocked down the empty ship, the thieves who were ambushing in the surrounding area would swarm up.
, just like ants devouring a giant elephant, they can quickly clean up and destroy the giant ship, take out the gold inside, and escape according to the arranged route.
Under such circumstances, the armed garrison personnel on the giant ship will suffer heavy casualties when the giant ship crashes to the ground. They will be unable to fight again before the battle has begun. On the contrary, it is not as reliable as land transportation. Not only can their whereabouts be kept secret, but also they can fight
Can take advantage more.
"If that's the case, we really have to rely on them to provide information and routes."
Sun Wu not only planned to ask for information, but also planned to reduce the personnel of the death squad. If there were only two of him and Xiao Shang, it would be easier to fight or escape, no matter whether it was a mountain of knives or a sea of fire. But if there were more people who were burdensome, Jin Zhong would
No matter how strong the shield is, it can't shield anyone other than yourself. I have already learned this from the battle on Long Street that day.
I remember that I had a brief glimpse of the person who won the lottery that day. The Guanghong Gang was originally a local gang, with not many strong players. Those people were almost all ordinary gang members. In a word, they were a combination of old, weak and remnant soldiers.
If these people go on the road, they are really going to die.
"The gangsters want people to draw lots of life and death. They are meant to die. How could they agree to your proposal? Why are you such a good person? Moreover, even if the gangsters agree that they don't have to go, those people won't thank you."
Xiao Shang particularly brought up the latter point, because when the lot was drawn, many people were frightened and fainted on the spot after winning the lot, making all kinds of ugly looks, but Sun Wu also remembered clearly how these people's faces turned out when they later received their resettlement allowance.
The expression on his face was filled with joy, as if he had never been so happy in his life.
It is conceivable that perhaps they have never received so much money in their entire lives. If they continue to farm, it is unknown whether they will be able to earn this amount of money in their lifetime. So such a generous settling-in allowance has bought their lives.
If their family can live a good life, or even get a chance to make a comeback, it is worth selling their lives. If they want to take back this opportunity to sacrifice their lives now, will they be ecstatic, or will they be disappointed and angry?
Even Sun Wu couldn't answer.
"...Well, why are people rushing to sell their lives? This world is really bad. After finding the Buddha's blood relic..."
Sun Wu did not say the words "I want to go back" because what he said now would undoubtedly be a kind of frustration. However, he had to admit that the various things he encountered after leaving Liangshanbo did make him want to quit.
The two of them walked slowly to Mr. Liu's mansion, and the discussion came to no conclusion. But when they approached the door of the mansion, Sun Wu suddenly felt something was wrong. Originally, there should be many servants and guards at the door, busy coming and going, but today it seemed that
It was unusually quiet, with no one around.
"Strange...it smells like blood."
There was a faint smell of blood in the air. Sun Wu noticed this and felt an ominous feeling in his heart. But before he could do anything, there was a loud explosion in his ears, and the entire Liujiazhuang Courtyard was swallowed up by tongues of fire, turning into
