Li Gu raised the teacup, held the cup and saucer in one hand, and used the cup lid to filter the Dahongpao floating on the water with the other hand. In the steaming heat, he took a careful sip, his behavior seemed to be leisurely. The teahouse is not a life-or-death decision at all.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Gu, actually waiting for him to say a word, but such calmness made everyone confused. Although the big man's face became more and more solemn in this gap, he could still sit still. , but in Shi Jin's eyes, the nine boys under the big man looked a little restless. The longer this embarrassment lasted, the less honest their eyes became, and they kept turning around, looking at each other. Look at me and I look at you, I look like I can’t hold my breath.
Who are these people, and what are their plans for daring to impersonate me, Shao Huashan? Shi Jin secretly observed in his heart, but now that they have not exposed enough information, he still cannot figure it out for the moment.
Li Gu, who was sitting opposite, was also thinking closely in his mind. The behavior and attitude of these people were actually somewhat different from what he had heard about Shaohua Mountain. He, Li Gu, yearned for the world and loved to make friends with these people who traveled around the world. Although he could not say that A pair of eyes can read countless people, but they also have a lot of skill. At this moment, there are only two people sitting in the hall. One is the big man who takes the lead, and the other is also At this moment, the person Li Gu cared about the most, the young man, was sitting in the most inconspicuous place, restraining all his energy. Li Gu felt that the young man must be waiting for something, but what it was, Li Gu couldn't tell. , at least Li Gu can conclude that no matter whether these people are looking for trouble or really seeking surrender, only these two people can stir up the water in the east of the Yangtze River, and the rest of them are just people who cannot stand to be dealt with. Basically it can be ignored.
Just as Li Gu was secretly appraising this group of people, there was another person who was also secretly observing these people in his mind. However, not even Shi Jin was aware of his existence.
That person was just standing quietly in the side tent of the front hall. There was a slightly half-squinted eye between the two floor-to-ceiling tents. In such an unknown place, he had an insight into everything in the hall. The big man and others looked at them one by one, and even Li Gu, who was sitting over there, refused to let go of the slightest change in his face. However, such a person with the same tricky eyesight as Li Gu, but he didn't. Taking a look at Shi Jin, in his opinion, there was no difference between Shi Jin and the group of people except for their more ordinary clothes. Judging from the seat he was sitting on, he must have little power or power.
The mysterious man looked around, and the corners of his tightly pursed mouth curved slightly in a strange arc. He raised his hand behind him, and immediately a man who pretended to have finished came up to him.
"I saw my brothers waiting outside the gate of the mansion to send them out of the mansion,"
The man nodded his head deeply, said in a low voice: "Yes," and immediately left the curtain, walked around the back of the screen, and disappeared with light steps.
The man watched the men leave with a proud smile on his face.
"This hero, you must also know that although I am Baozheng, this Guanxi Town does not belong to me alone. Although I, Li Gu, belong to a big family in Guanxi Town, even if I am not a member of this town The people seek welfare, but at least I can't force it on them. What's more, there is an elder in this town with more than fifty cavalry and infantry. These are not things I can promise you right now." Li Gu put the tea cup on On the table, he turned his eyes and looked at the big man seriously, and talked loudly.
The big man seemed not satisfied with this answer. He shook his head slightly and said: "People, hahaha, Chief Li really loves the people like a son. I really don't know whether I should be happy or angry now, but you also know that Huayin County The people of this city all obey Shaohua Mountain, but it is not because of our lustful power, but because of the popular support. The people of this city have all surrendered. How can it be that I, Shaohua Mountain, cannot tolerate the people of your town?"
Li Gu smiled slightly after hearing this and remained silent.
The big man continued: "This is the common people. Let's talk about the elder again. I know what the elder's position is. You just said that there are some people, but there are only more than fifty people. Even if they go to the officers and soldiers barracks, Throwing it is like throwing a handful of dirt into another pile of dirt. There is nothing special at all. You also know what an extraordinary person Supervisor Meng Sen is. With the troops of our Yongxing Military Road, Chengdu Thousands of people are still defeated in my thousands of troops. Why is this? Do you know? This is destiny, the general trend, irreversible. Those who try to turn the tide will surely pay the price," that big man I was very excited to talk. I said so much in one breath. I felt that my lips were dry for a moment. When I saw the tea on the side of my face, I picked up the teacup carelessly, not caring about the tea leaves. , tested the water temperature, then mixed it together and drank it.
Li Gu looked at it, still smiling slightly, turning his eyes without leaving a trace at Shi Jin who was sitting in an inconspicuous corner. At this moment, Shi Jin didn't take the big man's words to heart at all, although he said That's what happened, but he couldn't help but want to laugh secretly, so a faint smile appeared on his face. Shi Jin held the cup and saucer steadily, gently filtered the tea leaves with the cup lid, and brought it to his lips for a sip. He took a sip, closed his eyes and tasted it carefully, secretly praising in his heart that he was really from a wealthy family, this Dahongpao was soaked just right, it was really good tea.
The big man drank the tea, placed the cup and saucer on the table with a clink, wiped the stains on the corner of his mouth with his hand, opened his big mouth, and continued: "As the security chief, you must also be a Smart man, those thousands of soldiers and horses are dead outside the city. How big the wind and waves can he stir up, as big as a sesame seed? I am not bragging, Shi Jin, just these people and horses, my army If he doesn't move, it's more than enough for me to kill him without leaving a single piece of armor behind."
After the big man finished speaking, a strange atmosphere suddenly filled the hall. The narrowed eyes of the mysterious man hiding behind the curtain became more bloody and gradually became tighter and tighter. , the vicious gaze seemed to pierce the big man's internal organs, and his hands could not help but clenched tightly, making a crackling sound of bones.
Shi Jin's ear is so amazing. Even this little sound that was hard to detect was picked up by his ears while he was drinking tea seemingly carelessly. There was not a single omission or a single mistake. Jin knew that there was someone behind the curtain, and based on the rattling of his bones just now, he could also conclude that this person must be dissatisfied with what the big man said, and even gnashed his teeth at his words. Although it is not a taboo to ambush people in the front hall and eavesdrop on conversations, it is something that everyone tries to avoid. And the reason why this person dares to eavesdrop behind Baozheng's curtain must have an unusual status, and he must be related to Baozheng. There was a big connection, and this person must have played a big role in the surrender. Shi Jin secretly kept all this in mind, and still looked indifferent.
But at this moment, a trace of surprise flashed across Li Gu's face, like lightning, across the smiling sky. Li Gu calmed down without leaving any trace, leaned forward slightly, and his voice was obviously half high. Pat, his tone became more and more respectful: "You just said that you are Shi Jin," Li Gu paused for a moment, and then continued to add as if he was a little suspicious: "Shijiazhuang, Jiuwenlong Shi Jin,"
The big man raised his head slightly, snorted, and said calmly: "Yes, Jiuwenlong Shijin is me."
Li Gu stood up in a hurry and bowed deeply to the big man without saying a word. The big man didn't come to help him, so he suffered a huge sting. When the mysterious guy hiding in the dark saw this scene, his teeth started to twitch. She couldn't help but clenched her teeth a little tighter, as if the big man in front of her was between her sharp teeth, and her flesh and blood were being bitten with pleasure.
Li Gu paid obeisance, stood up, looked at the big man again with some excitement, and said: "The name of a good man, Li Gu, is like thunder to my ears. I have longed to see him for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet here today. When I saw the heroes come in just now, I thought they were leaders sent by Brother Shi Jin, and I also had some suspicions that they were officers and soldiers sent from above to secretly investigate my loyalty in Guanxi Town." As he spoke, Li Gu couldn't help but shook his head slightly and said: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that a person as big as you would come in person. I'm really flattered. My humble abode is so full of glory,"
When the big man heard this kind of flattery and saw the change in Li Gu's attitude, he became more and more proud and secretly proud. It seemed that Shi Jin's reputation was really extraordinary. It was more useful than gold. When the big man thought of gold, he Thinking of the purpose of coming today, he laughed and took over the conversation and said: "I came here today for the purpose I just said, which is to ask you to submit to me, Shaohua Mountain, and we will weigh the gold and silver together. Eat meat and wine from a bowl,"
After hearing this, Li Gu smiled slightly again. That bottomless smile left a very deep imprint on Shi Jin's heart. This Li Gu is really a profound person in the city. He is so thoughtful. It's just right and really unmatched by others.
When the big man saw Li Gu smiling and saying nothing, he seemed confused, but since he didn't refuse, it meant that the matter could still be discussed, not to mention that there was a famous leader like Shi Jin here, so why worry about it not being a big deal.
Thinking of this, the big man calmed down secretly and quietly waited for Li Gu's intention.
Li Gu saw that the big man had no intention of talking any more. He would really be sorry for "Shi Jin" if he didn't finish the conversation. So, the trick just now was useless, but if he wanted to make a conclusion immediately, it would be too late. It's not difficult, but it's rare, but it's one thing. That's a knot in his heart. There's something vaguely wrong in his heart, like a locked door or window, it's very uncomfortable to hold it in his heart...
