Chapter 464
After hearing the scene imagined by Bai Baolin, Xiao Zhan chuckled:
"We are different and we don't conspire against each other. I know you don't have any star sand in your body anymore, so you don't have to fool me."
After saying that, Xiao Zhan was about to leave directly.
Bai Baolin looked at Xiao Zhan and suddenly asked solemnly:
"You're not going to take my head? Actually, after thinking about it, your proposal just now is very good."
"You take my head to get the star sand, and when it's done, you share half of it with me."
"If we divide it equally between the two of us, even though each of us only has fifty pieces of star sand, it will be enough for me to use for a while."
Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows:
"What do you mean?"
A sly smile appeared on Bai Baoling's face:
"Find someone to pretend to be me, and you take your head to collect the reward. Just say that it was me, Bai Baolin, who was killed. Wouldn't that make it a success?"
Hearing Bai Baoling's words, Xiao Zhan's eyes flashed with a cold light:
"I randomly take heads, and people believe it's really you Bai Baolin. Are you a fool for being the person in charge of Songcheng Mission Street?"
Bai Baolin shook his head slowly, with a flash of strong confidence in his eyes:
"Don't worry, I will take care of everything."
Xiao Zhan smiled.
Bai Baolin is by no means a trustworthy person.
After only a short meeting, he said he wanted to cooperate with Xiao Zhan.
In this case, coaxing fools is not enough.
Bai Baolin proposed this for two reasons.
First, he is just alone now, and there is no one to help him with some things, which is really inconvenient.
Secondly, he didn't have a single grain of star sand on him, so he had to find a way to earn some star sand.
Moreover, Xiao Zhan's strength is not enough to scare him.
Once he cooperated with Xiao Zhan, he didn't have too many worries.
Xiao Zhan thought for a while, nodded and said:
"I happen to be going back to Songcheng, so I can come with you."
Bai Baolin smiled, "Then it will be a pleasure to cooperate."
After saying that, he turned around and swept out in the direction of Songcheng at high speed.
Xiao Zhan also followed.
Bai Baolin's mentality is very good.
He was originally a famous gangster leader in Shituo Mountain, but now all his subordinates are dead and all the star sand on his body has been snatched away. However, he acts as if nothing happened, humming a tune as he walks along.
Even at night, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he lit a bonfire and hunted a pheasant to roast and eat.
Xiao Zhan glanced at Bai Baolin who was holding the roast chicken and eating it with gusto, and then looked away.
Bai Baolin glanced at Xiao Zhan and asked with a smile:
"What's wrong? Are you worried?"
Xiao Zhan frowned and looked at Bai Baolin, and asked inexplicably:
"If a person dies, can he still live?"
Bai Baolin nodded, "There will be cases of suspended animation. It looks like you are dead, but in fact you just fell into a deep coma. There is a certain chance that you can wake up."
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I'm talking about the kind of person who is really dead and has turned into ashes. Can he still live?"
Bai Baolin stopped tearing into the roasted chicken.
He looked at Xiao Zhan with a smile, "Do you think it's funny?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I'm not kidding you."
"Then you must be sick," Bai Baolin took a big bite of meat and kept chewing it in his mouth:
"When a person dies, he is dead. If he could still live, the world would be completely in chaos."
"I really don't know why you would ask such a boring question."
Xiao Zhan did not answer, but fell into deep thought.
He took out a bead as white as jade and crystal clear from his arms.
This is what Zhuang Mochou left after his death.
To be honest, Xiao Zhan really doesn't care about Zhuang Mochou.
Relationships between men and women.
But he still couldn't accept that Zhuang Mochou died to save himself, and that he died in such a meaningless way.
That's why he asked such an idiotic question.
Because in the myths and legends of Yanlong Kingdom, there is something about resurrection from the dead.
Moreover, human beings in ancient times were extremely powerful and could travel through the starry sky with their own power. Maybe there was really a way to resurrect from the dead?
Although Xiao Zhan also felt that such a thing could not exist.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Xiao Zhan looked at the dawn on the horizon.
Bai Baolin also threw half of the roast chicken into the fire, wiped his hands on his clothes, then looked at Xiao Zhan and said:
"Let's go, let's go as fast as we can. We can reach Songcheng before noon."
Xiao Zhan stood up and rushed out in the direction of Songcheng.
At noon.
Xiao Zhan and Bai Baolin arrived outside the east gate of Songcheng.
The people from the City Lord's Mansion were checking everyone entering the city as usual.
Bai Baolin took out an identity information plate from his arms, asked people from the City Lord's Mansion to check it, and then entered the city in a big way.
He didn't seem worried at all that anyone would recognize him.
After checking, Xiao Zhan also walked into the city.
A place called "Tian Yuan Teahouse".
Bai Baolin walked in with Xiao Zhan, went straight to the third floor, and entered a private room.
The window of the private room faces the street.
Bai Baolin pushed the window open a crack and looked out at the street.
People were coming and going on the street, but Bai Baolin never took his eyes away, as if he was waiting for someone.
Suddenly, Bai Baolin closed the window directly.
At the same time, a figure wearing black armor also walked into Tianyuan Tea House.
The waiter hurriedly greeted him with a smile, cupped his fists and bowed:
"Captain Hong, you are here."
Hong Biao, a tall man with a full beard, nodded:
"Old rules, no need to entertain me, I'll leave as soon as I finish my tea."
The waiter nodded quickly in agreement and stood there watching Hong Biao go upstairs.
After a while, Hong Biao arrived on the third floor and entered a room directly opposite the room where Xiao Zhan and Bai Baolin were.
"Wait for me here," Bai Baolin said to Xiao Zhan, then walked out of the room and closed the door.
Then he directly opened the door of the room opposite and stepped in.
Hong Biao glanced at Bai Baolin who walked in and frowned instantly:
"What do you want from me?"
"Now is a special period. It's better not to contact me if you can."
Bai Baolin bowed his hands and saluted:
"Uncle, I was forced to take the risk to come to Songcheng."
"This time the city lord's palace issued a mission, and many people wanted my life.".c
"All my men are dead, and not a grain of star sand is left on them."
"I can only come and seek refuge with my uncle."
Bai Baolin smiled and poured a cup of tea for Hong Biao and continued:
"Moreover, I also brought someone here. His realm is the same as mine and his strength is similar to mine. He can completely impersonate me."
"My uncle just needs to capture him, tell him that he is Bai Baolin, and then kill him to deliver the goods. Then I can change my identity and stay in Songcheng without any worries."
Hong Biao frowned, his eyes full of majesty:
"This is not difficult to do."
"If you want to stay in Songcheng, I can help you find a job."
"It's just that I've been busy searching for people in the outside world recently, so I can't come forward to deal with this matter."
After thinking about it, Hong Biao said:
"You wait here and I'll have one of my confidants handle this matter."
As he spoke, Hong Biao glared at Bai Baolin:
"I remind you that if you stay in Songcheng in the future, you still cannot expose the relationship between you and me."
"You are not allowed to act recklessly in the future. You are not allowed to do anything without my permission."
"The Lord of the City said that if this mission of hunting down people from outside the world is completed well, he will help me apply to become the City Lord of Liang City."
Bai Baolin's eyes shone, "It's a good thing, uncle."
"If you become the lord of Liangcheng, I will follow you to Liangcheng. Don't worry, uncle. I will definitely stay by your side and assist you. I will never act recklessly. You know my talents, uncle."
Hong Biao glanced at Bai Baolin indifferently:
"Remember what I told you, don't leave here yet. Someone will come to contact you before evening."
After saying that, Hong Biao stood up and walked towards the door.
After Hong Biao went downstairs, Bai Baolin walked into the room where Xiao Zhan was with a smile.
He looked at Xiao Zhan and smiled:
"The matter is settled. Someone from the City Lord's Mansion will be here soon. You can follow him to collect the star sand. After collecting it, remember to send me my share."
Xiao Zhan glanced at Bai Baolin indifferently:
"If you don't take your head with you, how can you receive the reward?"
Bai Baolin waved his hand impatiently: "I have arranged everything, you just need to go and receive the reward."
Xiao Zhan said "haha", "I think the scapegoat you are talking about is me, right?"
Bai Baolin was a little surprised, but he laughed the next moment:
"Brother, what you said is that you are judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."
"Since I'm cooperating with you, I won't cheat you."
"Really?" Xiao Zhan asked back, and then stopped talking.
An hour later.
Outside the room, there was a knock on the door.
Bai Baolin glanced outside the door and saw a man wearing armor, so he opened the door with a smile.
As soon as the man in armor entered the door, his eyes were directly locked on Xiao Zhan and he said coldly:
"Well, Bai Baolin, our City Lord's Mansion has wanted you so many times, but you still dare to come to Songcheng."
"If someone hadn't reported it, I wouldn't have known you were so brave!"
With that said, the man directly pulled out the saber from his waist and pointed it at Xiao Zhan.
Bai Baolin clasped his hands on his chest and stood aside with a smile.
The man who came was a squadron leader in the City Lord's Mansion and one of the confidants of Captain Hong Biao. He had the strength of the ninth level of the Starlight Realm.
At this time, his aura exploded, completely intending to kill Xiao Zhan on the spot.
Xiao Zhan looked at the squadron leader expressionlessly and said coldly:
"You only know me as Bai Baolin, but do you know my identity and background?"
The squadron leader snorted coldly:
"Do I need to know your identity and background?"
"In Songcheng, no matter how strong your background is, can you be stronger than the City Lord's Mansion?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I am indeed no stronger than the City Lord's Mansion, but my uncle is not someone to be trifled with either."
Hearing this, the squadron leader, including Bai Baolin who was standing next to him, were stunned, with doubts in their eyes.
The two of them asked at the same time:
"Who is your uncle?"
Xiao Zhan sneered, looked at the squadron leader and said slowly:
"My uncle asked you to come, take this man away, and let him die as me. You know this well."
"But you recognized the wrong person when you arrived, which makes me very unhappy."
The squadron leader frowned:
"So, you are the real Bai Baolin?"
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Yes, I am the real Bai Baolin. Take him away. He will die as me, and I will be able to live in peace from now on."
When Bai Baolin saw that Xiao Zhan actually led such a show of confusing right and wrong, he was so stunned that he became extremely angry and laughed angrily:
"I was so sick that I rushed to the doctor."
"Do you think you can escape by just talking nonsense? You are overthinking."
Bai Baolin looked at the squadron leader with a smile and said softly:
"I am the real Bai Baolin, and he is the one who should die for me."
A look of confusion flashed across the squadron leader's face.
Hong Biao only told him to get rid of the fake Bai Baolin, and then let the fake die for the real one.
But Hong Biao never said what characteristics and special habits his nephew Bai Baolin had.
So much so that the squadron leader really can't tell who is the real Bai Baolin and who is the scapegoat.
