Chapter 160: Asking for directions with fierce lips and tongues
Shi Jin hid in the dark and heard the conversation between them clearly. While he was surprised by these so-called Shaohua Mountain troops, he also got another important piece of information. Shi Jin originally thought that Guanxi Town Baozheng's heart was... Under his control, and according to his longing for Jianghu, this important matter of surrender should have been voluntary between you and me. What's more, Shi Jin, the master, went there in person, so he didn't feel grateful.
However, Shi Jin accidentally got the news from the boy's mouth. Since the Guanxi Town Baozheng wanted to surrender, but was hesitant when his brother-in-law objected, there must be something to be done about it. , and this brother-in-law of his is certainly no ordinary person, and is indispensable for being a waste of fuel. If he wants to successfully conquer these people in Guanxi Town, he must start with this brother-in-law.
And who is the group of people who fell to the ground in front of me? Are they really from Shaohua Mountain, or are they disguised, but the clothes and armor of the officers and soldiers cannot be fake. How can ordinary people have such outfits? And the bandits in this radius If we put it all together, who dares to risk his life to do such a thing? As for the officers and soldiers doing it intentionally, it is either a conspiracy to instigate rebellion or there must be other motives. But who do these officers and soldiers belong to? Who is waiting here? Under the circumstances, you can afford to play such a weird trick.
Shi Jin didn't understand these things, but Shi Jin knew one thing, that is, by grabbing these people's tails, he could drag a big snake out of the hole, and he only needed to hide in the dark and watch them make trouble, and then The strain has improved.
So Shi Jin saw the right opportunity, held a stone in his hand, and threw it with a whoosh into the woods opposite.
Just hearing the sound of leaves swishing, the man carrying the big ax and the nine men suddenly turned around and looked towards the source of the sound. Apart from the leaves still swinging there, there was no one. , the big man turned around again and said to the little persimmon: "In that case, let's set off immediately..."
The big man said this and stopped talking, because at this moment he finally noticed something strange about the coldness on his neck. All these years of experience told him that this coldness must be a deadly thing, either a knife or a knife. Sword, but what is scary is not the sword on his neck. What is really scary to him is that there is such an elusive person who makes them unable to guard against them.
"Hero, what kind of brother are you?" the big man yelled at the top of his voice.
Shi Jin smiled and said sternly: "I know all your deeds, how can I let you go?"
This time, the rest of the troops were frightened. Even the little persimmon who was willing to submit to "Shaohua Mountain" was frightened to death.
"Who are you?" The big man didn't seem afraid of death. Instead, he stuck his neck and continued to ask.
"It doesn't matter who I am. I came all the way to Shaohua Mountain, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing," Shi Jin pretended to be a name and continued to act out the play.
The big man was not afraid of rejoicing. He laughed loudly and then said slowly: "Who are you and why do you want to join us in Shaohua Mountain?"
"My name is A Lang. I was originally a mountain bandit from Lianhua Mountain. After being wiped out by soldiers, he dispersed all the way here. I heard that Shaohua Mountain captured the city and was a true hero, so I deliberately defected." Shi Jin made up a set of his own background. Fool those people.
Now the big man became even more presumptuous. He actually ignored the existence of the blade, turned around, looked at Shi Jin behind him, and said, "That's no wonder, you know who I am."
This rhetorical question was exactly what Shi Jin knew. Shi Jin put his blade against the big man's neck and said, "Who knows who you are?"
"Hahaha, I will really scare you to death when I say it," the big man looked up to the sky and laughed, then put away his smile and said with a serious expression: "I am Jiuzhilong Shijin."
When Shi Jin heard this, he was really "scared to death". It turned out that this person was going to pretend to be "Shi Jin". This place is not far from Huayin County. He was really a brave man. .
Shi Jin immediately put away his sword, clasped his fists with his hands and said, "I have heard for a long time that Shi Jin from Shaohua Mountain is very extraordinary. When we meet this time, I didn't expect it to be here. A Lang has met his eldest brother." As he said this, Shi Jin pretended to be Want to worship.
Sure enough, the big man who called himself "Shi Jin" held Shi Jin up and said, "Good man, please rise. It is truly a blessing to meet Brother Alang today."
I am lucky enough to be lucky in my third life. Shi Jin smiled when he thought about it. However, the big man didn't know what Shi Jin was thinking. He just thought it was because he was happy from the bottom of his heart, so he smiled politely along with him.
Shi Jin went on to say: "I have heard for a long time that Shaohua Mountain recruits virtuous people, but I don't know if my brother can tolerate me alone."
The big man was thinking about this young man named A Lang. He could see his ability just now. And this young man had such respect for "Shi Jin" and looked like he was submissive. It seemed that he would be able to do it. Wouldn't it be easier to seize the gold and silver if you are under your own control and rely on the help of young people?
When the big man thought of this, he didn't care that Shi Jin had just put the knife against his neck. His face softened, he laughed, took a step forward, patted Shi Jin on the shoulder, and said: "Shi Jin came so far to surrender to me. You think highly of me, Shi Jin, and I, Shaohua Mountain, and I haven’t had time to welcome you, so how could you not welcome me?”
Shi Jin laughed secretly in his heart as he listened and made a compilation without saying a word.
The big man swung the ax he was holding up, put it on his shoulder quickly, and said to Shi Jin: "You also know, what I just said was to recruit Dongguan Town to surrender. You go with me. When you are successful, you and I will return to the village with some dignity."
"Everything will be done according to brother's arrangements," Shi Jin said with his hands clasped in fists.
"Okay, kids, let's set off towards Dongguan Town," the big man said very excitedly, waving his hand forward and leading everyone out together.
Shit, this big guy, Shi Jin couldn't help but laugh in his heart, shook his head calmly, and followed them out of the woods.
The group was silent all the way, and Shi Jin led the horse and followed dully alone. After walking for less than an hour, they arrived at Guanxi Town.
The big man walked through the market in distinctive uniforms, like a string of clowns crossing the street, turning back one after another.
With such a posture, I'm afraid even the county magistrate didn't pay such attention to it. Why was it like this? The man didn't think much about it. He just felt that it would be nice to have the feeling of an emperor crossing the street once in his life.
But Shi Jin saw this in his eyes. It was not that these people had never seen the officers and soldiers. The reason why they acted like this was that there must be some special voices in this town, and these voices must be concerned about Kansai. Whether the town returns to Shaohua Mountain or not, the focus must be on Li Gu, the Li Zheng of Guanxi Town.
Now everyone saw Li Gu's confidants coming in with a group of heavily armed officers and soldiers. With such a sensation, Shi Jin knew in his heart that there must be some news leaked from Li Gu, and this news must be that Li Gu wanted to defect to Shaohua Mountain. , and the people didn't have any opinions, otherwise they wouldn't be so surprised to the core at this moment.
"Brother, the door of the big house in front belongs to my master. We are here," Little Persimmon said, raising his hand and pointing it to the big man.
After hearing this, Shi Jin looked in the direction the big man was looking. It turned out to be a large house. On both sides of the red-lacquered door stood two men in tight clothes. They saw that Little Persimmon had brought A group of officers and soldiers came back, glanced at each other, and then came up to them and said, "Hey, the little housekeeper is back."
Little Persimmon nodded and led the group around the screen wall and into the front hall where guests were entertained.
Xiao Shizi turned around and asked everyone to sit down. He asked the maid in the hall to show everyone tea, and then he made a ceremony and said: "Brothers, please rest for a while. I will go in and report to the master now."
The big man really took himself seriously. He sat in the top position and was really able to hold himself up. He waved his hand and told him to go quickly.
But just after the little persimmon suddenly appeared in the front hall, at the front door, the man with the sinister eyebrows gently nodded his head towards the other one, and then quickly disappeared out the door.
After a cup of tea, the little persimmon came out from behind, but this time there was a middle-aged man with a face as white as snow and an imposing manner behind him.
At this moment, I was sitting in the most inconspicuous position in the front hall, looking at the man with my eyes. I saw the man striding forward, arching his hands, and said: "A hero has come from afar, and Li Jiu has come from afar to welcome him and atone for his sins. Atonement,"
The big man didn't stand up when he saw it. He was still sitting on the top, laughing loudly and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Li Gu stood at the moment, a little embarrassed, but he was a man who had seen the world after all, so he smiled and settled the situation. He sat down opposite the big man and said: "The hero really comes from Shaohua Mountain." ,"
The big man turned his eyes and glanced at him and said: "Of course not. After we defeated the army yesterday and prepared for today, we will come from Huayin County immediately."
"I'm flattered, I'm flattered," Li Gu laughed and said, "It seems that the officers and soldiers were defeated miserably. The village must have collected a lot of such good equipment."
"Hahaha," the big man laughed again, and said quite proudly: "A lot has been confiscated. If you look into the stronghold, there are dazzling silver helmets everywhere." The big man paused and said, "If you When I take my brothers with me, I will be equipped with the same equipment as you."
"This means... to surrender," Li Gu said with a smile.
"You can say that, but if this is not to your liking, then I can go back home immediately and send another team... to 'take' you back to the mountain," the big man said with more and more meaning.
Li Gu was not angry after hearing this, he still smiled slightly and nodded, so that everyone did not know what he really thought in his heart. Did this nod mean whether he surrendered or fought.
The mysterious smile on Li Gu's face looked more and more like a deep pool of water in Shi Jin's heart. No matter how the big man threw stones to ask for directions, he remained calm and still could not see the depth...
