There was deathly silence in the cave, and the dim light shining on Qin Xi's lost face added to the depression.
Originally, he went to save Brother Baibazi with good hopes, but in the end, what he heard was bad news.
No one could accept it otherwise.
Qin Xi’s men were also shocked:
"It's impossible. If the second boss is dead, why would Wang Zitong make such a deal? Sooner or later, the secret will be exposed.
This doesn’t make sense? "
Qin Xi killed Gu Sinian, so Wang Zitong must be freed alive. Moreover, they were not afraid that Wang Zitong would default on his debts. In the worst case, they would break the net and expose the news of Wang Zitong's affair with them.
Fornication between officials and bandits was a serious crime, and Wang Zitong must not have dared to take the risk.
But now that Qin Dascar is dead, how can Wang Zitong have the confidence to propose this deal?
Everyone was puzzled.
"It seems that it's not only me who's been fooled, but also you."
Gu Sinian, who had been thinking for a long time, said coldly:
"Wang Zitong wants not only my life, but also yours!"
Qin Xi's expression changed and he said blankly:
"how you said that?"
Gu Sinian analyzed methodically:
"According to your agreement, take my head, and then Wang Zitong will release me.
But what if Wang Zitong came to lead troops to suppress the bandits instead of letting your brother go? "
Qin Xi's mind went blank for an instant.
Gu Sinian continued:
"At that time, you thought you would get your brother back immediately, and you were in a state of joy and were unprepared, but Wang Zitong came with his men to kill you, caught you off guard, and uprooted you.
In this case, he not only used your hands to get rid of me, but also completed the task of suppressing bandits along the way, killing two birds with one stone.
As for liaison with bandits~
hehe.
You are all dead, who will believe that he is having an affair with a bandit?
What a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone~"
Gu Sinian's face was gloomy. Ever since he received the task of suppressing the bandits, Wang Zitong had remained motionless on the surface and even supported him, but secretly he had devised such a vicious plan.
Extremely insidious!
"boom!"
"asshole!"
Qin Xi cursed angrily and slapped the table:
"How dare you treat me like a monkey? You are obviously a murderer, but you still want me to treat you as a benefactor?
Wang Zitong! I am at odds with you!
If I don’t take revenge for this, I swear I won’t be a human being! "
The furious Qin Xi shocked everyone, but everyone understood one thing:
Wang Zitong wants to kill everyone here.
Gu Sinian narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a murderous tone:
"Boss Qin, maybe we can join forces~"
"us?"
Qin Xi said doubtfully:
"what for?"
Gu Sinian stood up and paced slowly in the cave with his hands behind his back:
"We all have a grudge against Wang Zitong, and the enemy of our enemy is our friend!
Wang Zitong wants me to die, so I can let him die!
It just so happens that Boss Qin can also avenge your brother~"
Zeng Lingchuan and Xiao Liuzi looked at each other. They never expected that Gu Sinian would cooperate with Qin Xi.
Even if the atmosphere just now was relatively harmonious, bandits are still bandits after all~
Qin Xi asked back:
"Gu Dianshi said it too easily. Wang Zitong is the chief of the county jail, with nearly a hundred people under his command, and Song Ping from the county government has a close relationship with him.
Such a person is hiding in Fengchuan County and you want to kill him for revenge?
It’s as difficult as climbing to the sky! "
To put it bluntly, Qin Xi's men killed thirty or forty brothers, could it be possible that he could attack the city in one fell swoop?
"Haha, don't worry about this."
Gu Sinian smiled slightly:
"As long as Wang Zitong believes that I am dead, he will definitely go out of the city to suppress the bandits. Then it will be our chance."
Qin Xi glanced at Gu Sinian and remained silent.
Gu Sinian continued:
"I know what you're worried about. It's just that you're worried that your brother is still alive. As a result, you and Wang Zitong turned against each other and ended up harming him.
This matter is simple. Since Xiao Liuzi saw it with his own eyes, he must not be the only one in the prison who knows about it. Find a few more witnesses and you will know. "
"That's not what I'm worried about. I know your companion is not lying."
Qin Xi said expressionlessly:
“Officials are officials, bandits are bandits.
Since Wang Zitong will play tricks on me once, you will play tricks on me too. After Wang Zitong is dealt with by then, what should we do if you lead people to help kill our brother?
Suppressing bandits was a mission sent by the government. Regardless of whether Wang Zitong died or not, someone had to suppress the bandits.
The lives of my dozens of brothers also matter~"
Obviously, Qin Xi, who had been deceived by Wang Zitong, no longer trusted people in the government.
Gu Sinian said calmly:
"Langzhou wants to suppress bandits, just because you robbed that convoy. If you hand over those belongings, I guarantee that the suppression of bandits can be reduced to a major issue and a trivial matter."
Only Gu Sinian knew that the purpose of suppressing the bandits was to rescue Mu Biejia's daughter. As long as they found the person, the job would be completed.
"Why should I trust you?"
"Use my life as a guarantee."
Gu Sinian said coldly:
"You let my companion go back, I will stay here.
Either Wang Zitong dies or I die.
how? "
"make a deal!"
The two hit it off immediately, but Zeng Lingchuan and the others beside them were frightened.
It is not easy to kill Wang Zitong. If this didn't happen, wouldn't Gu Sinian still have to die?
Zeng Lingchuan said worriedly:
"Master Gu, isn't this inappropriate? How could Wang Zitong be fooled so easily?"
"fine."
Gu Sinian waved his hand: "I will tell you later what to say and do when you go back.
He will definitely leave the city! "
"All right."
Seeing that Gu Sinian had made up his mind, the two of them had no choice but to keep their mouths shut.
"Oh, right."
Gu Sinian saw Xiaomu, slapped his forehead and asked:
"Brother Qin, do you really have no hostages? Orions, or the followers of that cavalry team?"
"No."
Qin Xi rolled his eyes at him angrily:
"I have to say it a few times. If I have to, I handed it over just now when the knife was pressed against my neck."
"All right."
Gu Sinian nodded slightly, and then looked at Xiaomu with a strange look. This guy seemed to have a secret~
…
The sun set little by little on the top of the mountain. Zeng Lingchuan and Xiao Liuzi, who had been secretly discussing with Gu Sinian for a long time, both came down the mountain. Only Xiaomu shouted that he wanted to accompany Gu Sinian and stayed by his side, refusing to leave.
There are two wooden boards set up in the slightly narrow cave and covered with some straw. For the bandits, this is a simple bed.
Gu Sinian lay down on the bed carelessly, still dangling his legs, while Xiaomu stood aside with his hands crossed, glaring at Gu Sinian angrily.
"Don't stare at me."
Gu Sinian said casually:
"There's only one bed in total. You have to sleep on it even if you don't want to. Can I tell them that you are a woman? Let's get another room?"
"you you you you!"
Xiaomu said angrily:
"Do you understand the difference between men and women?"
"Do you know the difference between men and women now?"
Gu Sinian turned to stare at her and said:
"I asked you not to follow me, but you still want to come. Did I just ask you to leave? But you didn't leave. I told you that your father is not here. I don't understand why you are still here?
Tell me, there are so many bandits, what if something happens to you? "
Gu Sinian became angrier and angrier as he spoke, his tone gradually rising.
Xiaomu was stunned for a moment after being scolded, his eyes gradually became moist, and finally he said with a cry:
"Oh~ you are cruel to me!
You are a grown man and you are cruel to me! I am a weak woman and my father got separated. Is it easy for me?
Woo hoo..."
"Hey, why are you still crying?"
"Stop crying!"
Gu Sinian was at a loss for a while, and finally waved his hands:
“Okay, okay, I’m going to sleep on the ground. Isn’t it okay to sleep on the ground?
Bed for you! "
"Hehe, thanks!"
The tears on Xiaomu's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a smile that showed success.
Gu Sinian was so angry that he stamped his feet:
"You can fall out of favor faster than turning the pages of a book!"
Xiaomu blinked his big watery eyes and said:
"Thank you Gu Dianshi for the compliment!"
Gu Sinian suddenly got up from the bed, bowed respectfully behind Xiaomu and said:
"As a humble official in the history of Fengchuan County, see Mu Biejia!"
Xiaomu's eyes trembled, and he turned around subconsciously and exclaimed:
"father!"
But behind her, there was no one.
"Be good~"
Gu Sinian smiled meaningfully:
"I didn't expect you were really Mu Biejia's daughter. I was so deceived~"
"You, you, you, bastard!"
Xiaomu, who realized that he had been tricked, suddenly became furious:
"How dare you deceive me!"
"Why are you making such a fuss!"
Gu Sinian said without giving in:
"Miss, do you know that your father's handwritten letters were sent to Fengchuan County! They were delivered to Mr. Chen! I'm worried to death!
It's a good thing for you. You haven't been arrested, so why don't you go back to Langzhou? He decided to follow him to the bandits' den.
If something happens to you, I will be blamed for losing my head!
Xiaomu, Xiaomu, Heng Heng, your brain is quite easy to use. "
Seeing that his disguise was seen through, Xiao Mu said with a bitter face:
"You think I'm willing to come to this bandit's den? I have no choice but to do so!"
"What's the last resort!"
Gu Sinian asked back: "What is more important than your own life? What is going on? Tell me quickly!"
Xiaomu suddenly became a little sad and said silently:
"My grandma was seriously ill a while ago. I went back to my hometown just to see my grandma for the last time. My father was busy with work and couldn't get away. After grandma was buried, I set off back to Langzhou.
Who would have thought that I bumped into bandits when I was passing by Langya Mountain. The situation was chaotic. When I saw something was wrong, I changed into a servant's clothes and ran away, but all my belongings were robbed by the bandits.
The other things don't matter, but there is a bracelet inside, which is a relic left by my grandma.
I must get it back! "
"So that's it."
Gu Sinian suddenly realized that no wonder this guy had been following him, looking for something.
But this girl is too courageous. Girls wander around in the mountains without being afraid at all.
"Woo~"
Xiaomu cried again: "Grandma was very good to me, this is the only relic.
Woo hoo..."
"Auntie, why are you crying again?"
Gu Sinian raised his hands in surrender and said, "I promise, after this matter is over, I will help you get the bracelet back, okay?
But you have to follow me faithfully and never leave! "
"You said so!"
"a man of his words!"
"good!"
After coaxing and lying, Xiaomu finally calmed down and lay on the bed obediently. Gu Sinian held a bundle of straw and made a bed on the ground.
The two of them couldn't sleep. They both stared at the dark stone wall above their heads with their big eyes. The atmosphere was very strange.
For these two people, this is the first time they have lived in the same room with the opposite sex, and it was still in a bandit's den~
After a long time, Gu Sinian asked:
"By the way, I still don't know what your name is?"
A crisp voice sounded:
"Mu Qinghuan."
"Mu Qinghuan?"
Gu Sinian murmured in a voice as thin as a gossamer:
"Is there any taste in the world that is pure joy~"
