In the cave, several people sat down one after another around a square table. The bright light of the fire reflected the faces of several people, and the light was as dim as ever.
After all, we live in a cave, and the conditions are not that good. Because of the humidity, there is still some moss growing with difficulty in the corners.
But this time Gu Sinian and the others were not tied up, but were politely invited to the table. The atmosphere was not as tense as it was at the beginning.
"Why save me? I want to kill you?"
Qin Xi, who wandered around the gate of hell, was still frightened and looked at Gu Sinian with complicated eyes.
His life was hanging by a thread just now, but it was Gu Sinian who tried his best to save him. There were several blood marks on his arms. If there weren't many people pulling them up by force, the two of them would have to go to see the King of Hell together.
"It's very simple."
Gu Sinian replied calmly:
"If you die, we must die too. I don't want to die yet~"
"The answer was really straightforward."
Qin Xi looked at Gu Sinian and said:
"But you don't look like a person who is afraid of death~ This shouldn't be the reason for saving me."
Gu Sinian wanted to stay as a hostage before. Would such a person be afraid of death?
Qin Xi didn't believe it.
Gu Sinian asked back:
"Since when do you need a reason to save people?"
This question really stopped Qin Xi. He had long been accustomed to the harshness of the world and ignored matters that didn't concern him.
Gu Sinian said expressionlessly:
"Although you are a bandit, I have checked and found that you were also born in a poor family. You participated in the imperial martial arts examinations many times. You failed in the examination and became a bandit when you were desperate.
In the past two years, your group has never robbed ordinary people, only wealthy businessmen passing by, and no lives have been lost.
Although you keep saying you want to kill people, you should not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
For this, I will save you. "
Xiao Liuzi on the side somewhat agreed. It was because this group of people did not kill people indiscriminately that the government turned a blind eye to their existence and did not bother to care about them. Even after many attempts to suppress the bandits, it was in vain.
After all, the people have no complaints, and robbing wealthy businessmen has nothing to do with them. This time it was nothing more than kicking the iron plate, and Langzhou issued the order to suppress the bandits.
Qin Xi was silent, and after a while he asked in a strange tone:
"When did I say that I won't kill you if you save me?"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense again.
"Do you have any conscience?"
The first one to shout was the thinnest Xiaomu:
"They saved your life, but you still want to kill someone?
He kept saying that he was righteous, but he didn't expect to repay kindness with hatred! If I had known, I would have killed you! "
The sharp and harsh curses startled Gu Sinian, and he quickly pulled her to sit down:
"What's the rush? Sit down, sit down!
They haven't killed me yet. "
"snort!"
Xiaomu sat down angrily. The scolding did not anger Qin Xi, but made him blush a little.
"Alas~"
Qin Xi suddenly sighed, waved his hands and said:
"Let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bandit guarding the edge became anxious:
“Brother, you can’t!
Let them go, what will the second boss do? "
"shut up!"
Qin Xi said with a cold face:
"This is our own business, I will not be one of those who repay kindness with evil!
Let him go! "
"But……"
"I told you to shut up! If you keep nagging me, I'll beat you!"
Seeing the two people getting into an argument, Gu Sinian frowned and asked:
"Do you have something to hide?"
In fact, Gu Sinian was a little surprised at the beginning. This group of bandits seemed to know their actions well, and they were determined to kill him.
What secret is hidden here?
Qin Xi said a little depressed:
"This has nothing to do with you. Let's go. I will regret it if it's too late."
Gu Sinian said without moving:
"You let me go now, but if we turn around we still have to suppress the bandits. Some of your brothers and my government servants will definitely die.
If you don't want to kill anyone, just tell the truth and let's see if there is any good way to solve it. "
The corner of Qin Xi's mouth twitched. Gu Sinian's words made him a little moved, but he glanced at Zeng Lingchuan and the others sitting next to him and stopped talking.
"It doesn't matter."
Gu Sinian said understandingly:
"These are all close brothers. They won't say a word of what you say."
"Okay~"
Qin Xi smiled bitterly and murmured:
"To tell you the truth, I have no grievances with you. Your suppression of bandits is also a matter of business, and your life is not necessary for doing so.
But in Fengchuan County, someone is calling for your head.
Your actions are what he reveals. "
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several people changed drastically.
There was actually someone in Fengchuan County who was colluding with bandits, selling information, and wanted to kill Gu Sinian? It's simply appalling.
Gu Sinian's eyes became colder little by little:
"Wang Zitong?"
Qin Xi raised his head with interest and said:
"It seems that the grudge between you two is very deep~"
This sentence undoubtedly acquiesces to Wang Zitong's liaison with the bandits.
"This bastard!"
Zeng Lingchuan cursed loudly:
"I must chop him up! He gave away all the lives of so many people with just one word!"
Gu Sinian raised his hand to signal Zeng Lingchuan to calm down, and then asked:
"How could he contact you? Also, what happened to the second-in-command and the second-in-command?"
Qin Xi smiled bitterly and said:
“It’s a long story.
I have a sworn brother, whose surname is also Qin. He doesn’t have a big name, so he’s called Qin San. The two of us in Langya Mountain were the two of us who worked hard together.
My brother is good at everything, but he's a little horny. He sneaked into Fengchuan County half a year ago, hoping to find a brothel to live happily, but he never expected to be caught by the government.
We, this group of people, are hiding in the deep mountains and old forests. There is nothing we can do about it, but we can't enter the county, so I, my brother, have been locked up in jail, and the person in charge of the cell is you, my enemy. "
Gu Sinian slightly guessed something, and Qin Xi had the handle in Wang Zitong's hands.
Xiao Liuzi on the side frowned when he heard the name Qin San, holding his chin as if thinking about something.
Qin Xi continued:
"You don't know where our nest is, but Wang Zitong is a local snake in Fengchuan County, he knows.
Just a few days ago, Wang Zitong sent someone to contact me and said that he could release my brother, under certain conditions..."
"My head."
Gu Sinian took the words to himself:
"So Wang Zitong sold you the information about our bandit suppression in order to kill me, and then you exchanged my head for your brother?"
"Yes~"
"If I'm not mistaken, that Yang Feng is also on the same team as you, right? He was the one who tipped off the news along the way and deliberately led us here?"
"yes."
Qin Xi's expression was already a little surprised. He didn't expect that Dian Shi had such a good mind and could quickly sort out such a big issue.
"Okay, okay, Wang Chatou is really a good trick~"
Gu Sinian's eyes showed a murderous intent that he had never seen before.
They could just fight each other in Fengchuan County, but they never expected that Wang Zitong would kill someone.
He clearly knew where the bandits were hiding, but refused to reveal a word. He also placed his own people in the bandit suppression team.
After all, Yang Feng was a government official. Gu Sinian couldn't decide whether Wang Zitong did this alone or if he and Song Ping conspired.
But he was really angry and furious.
If something went wrong in the suppression of bandits, so many government officials would die, not just Gu Sinian. If Gu Sinian hadn't kidnapped Qin Xi with his quick eyes and quick hands, they would be just a few dead bodies now.
"That's what it is."
Qin Xi spread his hands and said:
"I really don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately. I originally thought I would do it to you, but in exchange for my brother, it would be over.
But now that you have saved my life, I really can’t do anything.
You'd better go, we don't owe each other anything, and as for what happens next, we each rely on our own abilities and life or death is determined by fate. "
"Ahem, Boss Qin."
Xiao Liuzi, who had been deep in thought, suddenly spoke cautiously:
"Is the Qin San you are talking about called Qin Dascar? The one with a scar on his right cheek?"
"Yes, have you seen it?"
Qin Xi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Gu Sinian, on the other hand, was not too surprised. This guy was imprisoned just across the mountain. He was a slippery talker, and he estimated that he knew most of the prisoners in the cell.
"See you, see you."
Xiao Liuzi's eyes suddenly became evasive.
Qin Xi came and said with interest:
"Tell me quickly, how is my brother?"
Xiao Liuzi didn't answer, but looked at Gu Sinian in embarrassment.
"What's wrong? Tell me?"
Qin Xi was impatient.
Gu Sinian's heart sank, he guessed something was wrong, but he still said calmly:
"Tell me the truth."
Xiao Liuzi lowered his head silently:
"He, he is dead~"
Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
"Dead? How is that possible!"
Qin Xi stood up immediately and shouted coldly:
"Boy, don't talk nonsense!
My second brother was in good health, how could he die?
Wang Zitong said that my brother is alive and well, otherwise he would not propose this deal!
If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for not giving Gu Dianshi face! "
"I'll beat you if you keep talking nonsense!"
Qin Xi was anxious, and so were the bandits nearby.
"Don't be anxious, everyone, don't be anxious."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Sinian quickly came out to smooth things over:
"Xiao Liuzi, please think clearly, how is Qin San?"
Xiao Liuzi said a little aggrievedly:
“I know this is an unpleasant thing to say, but Qin Dascar is really dead.
When he was first arrested, he lived in the cell next to mine, and we exchanged a few words.
Nothing happened for the first half month, but one morning, someone was dragged out and beaten to death with a killing stick. I watched with my own eyes when the body was dragged out.
It is said that he hid some money in the city and was targeted by Wang Zitong. He refused to hand it over because he couldn't hand it over, so he suffered the murderous murder of Wang Zitong.
If you lie even half a word, I will die badly! "
Xiao Liuzi even made a poisonous oath. Judging from his expression, it really didn't look like he was lying, and for him, there was no point in deceiving Qin Xi.
Qin Xi was completely confused and couldn't say a word.
Gu Sinian's mind was spinning the fastest. He looked at the bandit standing next to him and asked:
"After he was imprisoned, did you visit him in prison? When was the last time you saw him?"
The bandit replied with a sad face:
"Master Gu, we are bandits, how dare we enter the city?
Since the second brother was arrested, we have never seen each other. "
There was dead silence in the room.
There has been no news for so long. It is clear at a glance whether he is alive or dead~
"Plop~"
Qin Xi fell down on the chair, his eyes dull:
"Second brother, second brother is dead?
How, how is it possible~"
