"surprise?"
A hint of disdain appeared on Hu Qiu's cheek.
He looked deeply at the captain, then suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
"The captain doesn't know something. I, Hu Qiu, have been involved in official circles over the years and have met a lot of people. Since the captain has come after me, I guess he has already made the decision to escape from the army, right?"
"Hey, since you are so smart, it seems that I can't let you go."
The captain sneered, murderous intent evident on his gloomy cheeks.
"But Captain, have you ever thought about how much of the treasure house you looked at is real, and how much of it is fake?"
As soon as these words came out, the pride on the captain's cheek was instantly replaced by gloom.
"What are you talking about? It's such a big treasure house, and you tell me that everything in it is fake? How is this possible!"
Hu Qiu looked at the gloomy captain, and the smile on his face became more pure.
"Sir Captain, it seems that you still don't know enough about people like us who are involved in the officialdom. Do you know what the Three Caves of Cunning Rabbits are?"
Hearing this, the captain's inner anger was slightly suppressed. He knew that the relationship between the two parties now completely lost mutual trust.
If the other party bites him to death and doesn't tell him the real treasure house, then he will lose both his wife and his troops this time.
If the brave army cannot go back, it will incur endless pursuit.
Don't forget that Mr. Yang is not only the man behind the Yongwu Army, he is also the boss of the West Factory.
Although today's Xichang is in decline, it has lost its former prestige.
But the spies under him are still as annoying as flies.
"Master Captain, why don't you and I work together?"
Hu Qiu spoke again, with a calm tone and a slow speed, without any trace of panic at all.
This also made the captain even more fearful of him, even though he only needed one order to kill Hu Qiu.
But the captain always felt that this Hu Qiu was not that simple.
However, the facts would prove that there was nothing wrong with his hunch. Because it won't be long before Hu Qiu's name will be famous in Youzhou and even among the Three Kingdoms.
History is often like this. It is possible that a coincidence can produce a completely different effect.
Sometimes, if you don't push yourself, you won't know how strong you are.
Hu Qiu is such an example.
"Tell me, how do you want to cooperate with me?"
The captain stared at Hu Qiu coldly, with one hand on the unsheathed standard long sword, as if I would just pick up the knife and chop you if you don't feel satisfied with your answer.
"It's simple. I think it will be difficult for Sir Xiaowei to return to Dazhou in the future, and maybe... he will be chased by the army."
"I'm afraid it's not that easy for Colonel Lieutenant to establish your own business. As for keeping your name anonymous... I'm afraid, Colonel Lieutenant, you don't have that much money."
"continue."
The captain spoke noncommittally, but there was a hint of thoughtfulness in his eyes.
Seeing this scene, Hu Qiu felt slightly proud in his heart. But on the surface, he still looks as stable as an old dog.
"I think the captain has the appearance of a great emperor. Even if he has so much money, he would not choose to live in a corner. So... I plan to join you."
Hu Qiu said, kneeling directly in front of the captain without saying a word.
"I am willing to sacrifice all my wealth and life to help Mr. Xiaowei compete in the world."
"All your wealth and life?"
The captain's eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly a look of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Hu Qiu, do you think I'm really that easy to be deceived by you, and I was deceived twice in a row using the same method?"
"If you really want to surrender, then show your sincerity, otherwise..."
Before he could finish his words, Hu Qiu ripped off his coat.
This action made even the captain himself feel slightly distracted and his head was buzzing.
What does Hu Qiu mean? Could it be that...he wanted to use his body...but he was a man, and he was so ugly. If he was better-looking, maybe I would give him a chance...
Just as the captain was wandering in the sky, he suddenly saw banknotes one after another, and Hu Qiu fumbled them out of his body in a way that was close to a magic trick.
Not long after, several banknotes appeared in Hu Qiu's hand.
Hu Qiu fumbled for a while, until he had accumulated a small stack, he nodded with satisfaction, then offered it with both hands and handed it to the captain.
"Lord Captain, this is fifty thousand taels of silver!"
"To be honest, I came out in a hurry, so I only brought these with me. If the captain wants to make a move in the future, as long as we take back my Hu family's ancestral home, there are still 200,000 taels of silver hidden there!"
As soon as these words came out, the captain was stunned.
He never dreamed that Hu Qiu, who looked like nothing special, had so much money in his hands!
But here’s the problem, Hule County is so remote and there’s not much money to be made.
Where did the magistrate of Hule County get so much money?
Could it be...he was lying to me?
Perhaps seeing the doubts in the captain's mind, Hu Qiu took the initiative to explain:
"Master Xiaowei doesn't know that our Hu family has been in charge of the territory of Hule County for generations. To be honest, the name of Hule County is related to an ancestor of our Hu family. The name of our ancestor of the Hu family is Hu Le, after coming here, saw the outstanding people here, so he built the county seat."
"And this... is the origin of the name of Hule County. To be honest... although Hule County has been poor over the years, our Hu family has also accumulated a fortune. It's a pity... Later, after seizing the legitimate rights, During the war, my father chose the old prince's lineage, and then was suppressed by the late emperor."
"I see."
The captain nodded, the confusion in his eyes slightly relieved.
He raised his hand and picked up the 50,000 taels of silver notes handed over by Hu Qiu. After confirming that the banknotes were genuine, his face couldn't help but look better.
"Since you are willing to cooperate, I don't mind giving you another chance."
"Let's get to know each other again. My name is Feng Buxing."
"It turns out to be General Feng! I have admired him for a long time..."
Hu Qiu immediately put on a respectful posture and then said:
"From now on, I, General Hu Qiuwei and Feng, will act accordingly!"
"But general...this is not the place to talk. Why don't we escape first?"
"Escape? Why is this general running away?"
Feng Buxing quickly assumed the role of his general and couldn't help but ask a question.
"General, think about it carefully. The lord you are talking about can actually investigate everything that I have done over the years. Do you think that lord would not be aware of our current situation?"
Some people died, but not completely...
