"Don't worry, it's not that difficult. The first thing is that the bandits are currently making a lot of noise, so our yamen is currently recruiting people. I see that Brother Bai and Xiao Guo are very good at martial arts, so I want to recruit Brother Bai and Xiao Guo. Guo joins us temporarily!”
Xiao Liu invited, if Lao Bai and Xiao Guo can join them, then these bandits will not be a concern at all. With Lao Bai's martial arts and Xiao Guo's background, they can scare those bandits to death.
"This..." The shopkeeper looked at Lao Bai and the two hesitantly when he heard this. To be honest, she disagreed, but Xiao Liu was not forcing it, it was just a request, so it still depends on their own opinions.
However, Lao Bai had a strong connection with the shopkeeper, so he immediately refused. "I can't do it. I'm timid. Let alone bandits. Even if I meet a thief, I will be so scared that I can't walk."
Xiao Liu didn't feel strange when he saw Lao Bai rejecting the offer directly. On the contrary, it would have been a hell if Lao Bai had agreed directly.
After all, a thief king only wants to join the government after being screwed. Not to mention the grudges for so many years, the more contact he has with the police, the more likely his identity will be exposed.
However, Xiao Liu did not intend to give up, he continued to persuade.
"Brother Bai, do you really want to stop thinking about it? Although our time this time is only temporary, our treatment is very generous, five dollars a month. If you are injured because of fighting with bandits, we will not only pay for the medical expenses It’s all-inclusive, and we will give you three taels of silver as a subsidy, and if you are killed on duty, we will also give your family twenty taels of silver as settlement allowance.”
"Twenty taels!" Hearing Xiao Liu's words, Lao Bai didn't react at all. The shopkeeper on the side exclaimed first, as if he wanted to agree on Lao Bai's behalf.
"Yeah!" But Lao Bai glanced at the shopkeeper, who immediately stopped.
"I won't go, let alone twenty taels, I won't go even if it's two thousand taels."
After saying that, Lao Bai turned around and left. As a thief, how could he be tempted by this mere money? If he really loved money, it would not be easy with his ability.
Seeing Lao Bai turn around and leave, Xiao Liu didn't try to persuade him again. Although he felt it was a pity in his heart, this was also what he expected.
Lao Bai was scared to death of being caught by the police, and he wanted to quit the world. How could he join the government just because of these bandits and a little money? Wouldn't he be making himself uncomfortable? .
In other words, these bandits really made him anxious. There is a high probability that he will only kill these bandits by himself, instead of choosing to join the government or seek help from the government.
Because for Lao Bai, he has a grudge against the government.
It's just that he is more sensible and knows that the government cannot be blamed for this hatred, let alone Xiaoliu and the others, so he has not reacted at all.
But it is absolutely impossible for him to join the government and work for the government.
Seeing Lao Bai turn around and leave, everyone looked at Xiao Liu worriedly. They were worried that Lao Bai's actions would make Xiao Liu unhappy. After all, Xiao Liu was also a catcher.
However, Xiaoliu cupped his fists and said first.
"Shopkeeper Tong, it seems that I took the liberty this time. Although I don't know where I offended Brother Bai, please apologize to Brother Bai for me."
"It's okay, it's okay!" Seeing Xiao Liu like this, the shopkeeper laughed quickly.
Then Xiao Liu turned her attention to Xiao Guo. To be honest, Xiao Guo was a little moved, but she was also a little scared. After all, she had not fought the bandit yet.
So at this moment, there was some hesitation.
To be honest, Xiao Guo is wandering back and forth on the edge of going or not going. Now all he needs is a little persuasion from Xiao Liu, using the name of a heroine to fool her, and she will immediately agree.
But seeing Xiao Guo like this, and taking advantage of Lao Bai's past experience, Xiao Liu didn't plan to persuade him.
After all, this Xiao Guo is not Lao Bai. Xiao Guo's background is far greater than his strength. To put it bluntly, Xiao Liu feels that he can remove Xiao Guo's arms with just one knife.
This is not bragging, but a mysterious and mysterious feeling!
And if Xiao Guo joins, he might have to step aside to protect Xiao Guo.
"Since Miss Guo has no intention, let's just pretend that Xiao Liu didn't say anything about this first thing." Xiao Liu also directly clasped his fists and said regretfully.
"I..." Xiao Guo originally wanted to join, but when she heard what Xiao Liu said, she had no choice but to do so.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper quickly smoothed things over. "Xiao Liu, just tell me what the second thing is, right? As long as it's not too dangerous, we will definitely agree to it."
At this time, the most dangerous thing has passed, and the shopkeeper responded directly.
"Is this the second thing? I still need to ask Miss Guo for help." Hearing this, Xiao Liu looked at Xiao Guo again.
"No problem!" Xiao Guo agreed this time, patting the table directly.
Xiao Guo, who missed the opportunity just now, also felt that he had to show off, otherwise his image as a heroine would collapse.
She doesn't know that she doesn't have the image of a heroine at all!
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Xiao Guo said with an air of grandeur.
"I would also like to ask Miss Guo to write a letter and tell your father what happened here." Xiao Liu said directly. This was also the main purpose of his coming here.
To be honest, such a large group of bandits robbed such a large amount of money and fled here, but there was no news about it. This made Xiao Liu doubt the ability of the local government to do things.
So just to be on the safe side, Xiao Liu planned to use Xiao Guo's trump card.
The local government may not pay attention to this bandit, but as long as Xiao Guo is here, the six doors will definitely pay attention.
After all, Guo Juxia's only beloved daughter is here. Even if Guo Juxia doesn't say anything, those masters from the six sects, especially Xiao Guo's senior brothers, will also come spontaneously, and as long as they can come, then these bandits are just a group of people. Just dead ants.
Hearing Xiao Liu's words, Xiao Guo was confused, did a group of little bandits need to alarm her father? However, she had long wanted to write a letter to her father, but she just had no money to pay for sending the letter.
In ancient times, letters were sent through inns, but these inns only served the government, so if ordinary people wanted to use them, they had to pay a high fee.
Moreover, they don’t guarantee that they will be delivered to you, let alone that if they can’t find the recipient, they will even tell you that they will return it, which can be said to be very misleading.
But no matter how hard you try, it's better than nothing. If a flying pigeon passes the message, the pigeon might be shot down halfway, roasted and eaten.
"No problem, but you have to pay for the money to send the letter." Xiao Guo responded immediately.
Seeing that Xiao Guo agreed, Xiao Liu also responded directly. "Don't worry, I have already agreed with Master that this letter will be paid by the Yamen."
"good!"
Seeing that Xiao Liu had finished speaking, Xiao Guo excitedly ran to the scholar's counter and picked up pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write a letter home.
The shopkeeper didn't stop when he saw this scene. After all, it would be nice if Xiao Guo could pay back the money earlier, fifty taels!
Seeing that the matter between Xiao Guo and Xiao Liu was over, Big Mouth on the side looked at the shopkeeper as if he had something to ask for.
The shopkeeper also noticed Dazui's appearance. "What's wrong, Big Mouth."
Upon hearing the shopkeeper's inquiry, Da Zui quickly said filially. "Shopkeeper, can I take a few days off? There are bandits in Cuiwei Mountain. My mother is at home alone. I'm a little worried about her."
Hearing Dazui's filial words and looking at Dazui's worried look, the shopkeeper nodded. She was about to agree, but Xiaoliu on the side spoke first to reassure her.
"Don't worry, Brother Big Mouth, your mother will not be in danger."
Hearing this, Da Zui and the shopkeeper both looked at Xiao Liu, wondering why Xiao Liu was so sure.
Xiao Liu looked at the two people's eyes and smiled. He didn't know how good the legendary Xuanyuan's broken finger was in martial arts.
But just by flicking that curved finger, the internal power of the dice can be vibrated through the air, which is enough to show that its internal power is unfathomable.
Of course you can't say that, but Lijiagou is indeed the safest place among these ten villages and eight stores.
Xiao Liu picked up the three bowls on the table and arranged them.
"Look, Cuiwei Mountain is twenty miles south of Qixia Town, and Lijiagou is fifty miles northeast of Qixia Town. The two places can be said to be far apart, and Lijiagou is very remote. Even if the bandits want to rob, they won't go to Lijiagou, so you don't have to worry at all, Big Mouth Brother."
Listening to Xiao Liu's careful analysis, Da Zui breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally worried heart was relieved.
"Oh my God, I feel relieved after hearing your words. Thank you, Xiaoliu! I'll cook for you right now." After saying that, Dazui happily walked towards the kitchen.
The shopkeeper on the side looked at Xiao Liu strangely and asked curiously. "Xiao Liu, why are you so familiar with the terrain of Qixia Town?"
