Qiu Dabao was mumbling something, but he was extremely agile. He scanned the cell with his head and saw that the whole cell was filled with snoring. Then he tiptoed to the bed where Qi Laosi and others were staying, stretched out his hand and pushed it gently. He said: "Qi Laosi, where did you put my waist knife?"
After shouting and pushing several times, the three of them were asleep like pigs, unable to wake up.
Qiu Dabao glanced at Su Jin's cell. Su Jin gently stretched his hand out of the fence and waved.
Qiu Dabao hesitated for a moment, then tiptoed to the shadow beside the wooden fence and squatted down. Su Jin straightened up and sat up gently, cupping his hands and asking: "How is the second master?"
Qiu Dabao said expressionlessly: "What are you waving for?"
Su Jin smiled and said: "The second boss came back, didn't he come to talk to me?"
Qiu Dabao sneered and said, "You officials are really smart. I'm just here to find a knife."
Su Jin chuckled and said, "The second master didn't come in with a knife at all, so how could he look for one?"
Qiu Dabao was stunned, rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you bring it? I think I forgot it, my memory is not very good recently."
Su Jin smiled and said: "I'm afraid I've reduced my drinking capacity a lot. I drank four bowls of wine in total and spit out three bowls of wine. One bowl of wine will fill your tongue. The second boss can't even drink as much as a woman." Not as good as that."
Qiu Dabao stared at Su Jin. Su Jin remained silent and smiled. Qiu Dabao finally sighed and said, "Look carefully. I did spit out a lot of wine, and I do want to come to you for questioning." .”
Su Jin said: "I know that the second master is not in a good mood and wants to chat with me to relieve his boredom."
Qiu Dabao said: "It is not a good thing for people to be too smart. You are too smart, which makes me less trustful of you."
Su Jindao: "It is better to be smart than stupid. When danger comes, smart people will take precautions in advance. People who are slow to react can only be caught off guard. There will be a difference between life and death."
Qiu Dabao glared at Su Jin, shook his head and said, "I don't understand what you are saying. I just want to ask if what you said about the imperial army from the capital transporting kerosene to attack the mountain is true?"
Su Jin smiled and said: "Is this matter very important? It is important to me, but it is actually insignificant to you. Your fate has been determined."
Qiu Dabao frowned and said, "How can I say this? It's really tiring to talk to you."
Su Jin said: "I'm not tired at all. You understand what I said. Your status in this village is not as high as I thought. Anyone with a discerning eye can see this."
Qiu Dabao said angrily: "So what? I am a bandit today but not tomorrow. Do I still care about this? If I can live a day, I will be happy. What's the benefit of overthinking?"
Su Jin smiled and said: "The second master is quite open-minded, but if you think so, others may not think so. Judging from my experience, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in this village for long. Even if the officers and soldiers retreat immediately, you won't be able to stay." long."
Qiu Dabao said: "Don't make things sensational. The head of the family is very kind to me. Brothers and I get along very well. There is no reason why I won't stay here long."
Su Jin said: "Don't deceive yourself. You know your position in Shen Yaozu's heart, as well as Diao Mazi, and all the confidants of Shen Yaozu. I think those little bosses have no respect for you. It is conceivable that it must be Shen Yaozu." I don’t take you seriously; the so-called powerful dogs can also bully others. In fact, they dare to bark at someone whose owner looks down on them.”
Qiu Dabao couldn't help but feel a little silent when he told him the central issue.
"The world is so big that there is no place for me, Qiu Dabao. When the day comes, I will leave the village and wander around the world, or just hide my name. It will be a good thing for me."
"The second master didn't mean what he said. You said it lightly. Do you think I don't understand the rules of bandits? There is no such thing as joining a bandit, but there is no such thing as being able to escape safely. You know all the secrets of the village, and the government is still here
If I arrest you, where will you go? Can you escape?"
"What exactly do you want to say? I came to ask you kindly, just to plead with you in front of the boss, but you told me this. You have reached such a stage and are still trying to sow discord between me and the copycat. Tell me
You, don’t even think about it!”
Su Jin smiled and said: "Don't be impatient. Do you still need me to sow discord between you and Shanzhai? I'm just expressing your hidden worries. You are a smart person and know what will happen to you if this continues. Since you know what lies ahead
South wall, why don't you go around the bend and find another way? Take a step back and suddenly the wind will be lighter, the clouds will be clearer, the sea will be brighter, and the sky will be brighter. Let's see if you are willing to take this step."
Qiu Dabao frowned, with a tangled expression, and finally said: "Even if I want to, there is nothing I can do. I advise you to give up on this idea."
Su Jin chuckled and said: "It all depends on man-made efforts. There is nothing in this world that I think is impossible, not to mention this is just a small bandit village."
Qiu Dabao said: "Since you are so confident, why do you come to find me?"
Su Jin said seriously: "There are three gangs of heroes and three fence stakes. If you cooperate with me, I can destroy this stronghold."
Qiu Dabao looked hesitant and said: "Why should I believe you? The boss is right. You are just a food envoy and have no right to make promises to me. I helped you, but the court still wanted my life. I
What can you get?"
Su Jin waved gently and said, "I'll show you something."
Qiu Dabao poked his head over, and Su Jin reached into his clothes and dug around for a long time. He took out the gold medal given by the emperor, flashed the gold medal with body temperature in front of Qiu Dabao's eyes and said, "Do you know what this is?"
Qiu Dabao asked: "What is this?"
Su Jin slowly said: "The emperor gave me the gold medal of 'It's like I'm here in person'. The emperor gave it to me specifically for the purpose of attracting peace. I'm afraid you won't believe it. With this gold medal, it means that the emperor has made a promise to you personally. Aren't you still reassured?
?”
Qiu Dabao was shocked. He stared at the gold medal and looked at it fiercely. Su Jin smiled, handed the gold medal to his hand and said, "Do I dare to forge this gold medal? Besides, I have to have this ability to even forge it."
.”
Qiu Dabao took the gold medal tremblingly, and looked at it carefully under the dim light. Su Jin continued: "As long as you help me break down the stronghold and regain the food, you will have done a great job. I will report it to the court. The worst is wrong."
I will also give you a small official position, and I will be a big official.
The officer will fool you again. It will be easy to be the chief of inspection in a small county, or to get the position of head of the Xiang army. Then you will be able to live an upright life, marry a wife and have children, and honor your ancestors.
You can do whatever you like."
Qiu Dabao licked his lips and said, "Are you telling the truth?"
Su Jin shook his head and said, "If you still don't believe me at this point, then I really have nothing to say."
Qiu Dabao was still hesitant, but Su Jin said in an inaudible voice: "Second Master, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it now if you don't want to."
Qiu Dabao was surprised and said: "What?"
Su Jin said in an extremely thin voice: "The bandit named Qi Laosi just opened his eyes. I'm afraid he heard everything you and I just said."
Qiu Dabao was so frightened that he clenched his teeth gradually.
"Go and do it. Have you done anything big in your life? Apart from being a bandit, killing people and robbing, have you done anything that your parents can be proud of? The opportunity is right in front of you today. I am not afraid of even a weak boy. You
A man who has been through many storms is still hesitant to make a decision, which really makes people look down upon you."
Qiu Dabao's palms were all sweaty and his body was shaking slightly. He gritted his teeth and stood up. He walked step by step towards Qi Laosi's bed. He suddenly reached out and picked up the simple knife leaning against the bedside. He pulled the knife out of its sheath and a white light flashed, fiercely.
Qi Laosi chopped into Qi Laosi's neck. Qi Laosi screamed and jumped up, covering his bleeding neck. He pointed at Qiu Dabao, his eyes widened, and he made a loud noise. He immediately fell to the ground, dying.
Qiu Dabao was stunned for a moment, but the noise had already awakened Fatty Huang and Ma Laosan. Qiu Dabao moved quickly and raised his knife, one at a time, and the two gangsters were immediately killed.
Su Jin laughed loudly, clapped his hands and praised: "The second master's good skills."
Qiu Dabao dragged the bloody knife and walked towards Su Jin with an angry look on his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "Qi Laosi didn't hear what we were saying at all, did you? You are lying to me."
Su Jin nodded and said, "I'm helping you make up your mind."
Qiu Dabao raised his knife and pointed it at Su Jin, gritting his teeth and saying, "I'll chop you up!"
Su Jin said coldly: "I said, this is your only way out. If you kill me, you will be digging your own grave."
Qiu Dabao's arms shook and he held up the knife for a long time. Finally, he lowered it weakly and said, "I've been fooled by you, that's it. What should I do next?"
