Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After a long time, the severe pain I imagined did not come.

    Qi Laosan only felt that Li Kuo was going to humiliate and torture him. He opened his eyes angrily and glared at Li Kuo and said: "You are also a big man, how can you torture your mother-in-law and mother-in-law? Hurry up and give me a pain, give me a knife on the neck."  The two of us are now in peace. Don¡¯t worry, I, Qi Laosan, am a person with a clear sense of grudges. Even if I go to the underworld, I will not turn into a ghost to haunt you. I, Qi Laosan, have never begged anyone in my life. This time I have changed.  Can you please?"

    Hearing that he wanted to die, Li Kuo laughed dumbly and said, "How do you know that I will definitely kill you?"

    This time it was Qi Laosan¡¯s turn to be stunned: ¡°You, you won¡¯t kill me? Aren¡¯t you a general of the army?¡±

    In Qi Laosan¡¯s view, the government and the army have been at odds with bandits and horse thieves like them since ancient times.  Horse thieves killed officers and soldiers to express their personal anger.  This is a rule that is universally applicable. Why did it change when Li Kuo came here?

    Li Kuo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Actually, I wanted to kill you originally, but I never thought that you are such a person who values ??love and justice. What I, Li Kuo, admire the most in my life is a man like you.  "

    These words came from a Tang Dynasty official and military general, which really surprised Qi Laosan.

    Before he could say anything, Li Kuo continued: "But why did you go astray and become a bandit?"

    In Li Kuo¡¯s view, with Qi Laosan¡¯s martial arts skills, even if he fails to pass the martial arts examination, he can still join the frontier armies in various places to gain fame.  Unlike Chang'an in the capital, the influence of one's origin is not absolute.  Isn't An Lushan the best example? From being a miscellaneous guard general to being the military governor of three towns, to now raising an army to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, he did it step by step entirely on his own.

    It¡¯s just that this example is too painful and helpless to think about now.

    "Why do I fall into a bandit's trap? Haha" Hearing this, Qi Laosan laughed out loud: "You know why I fell into a bandit's nest? I'll tell you, it's because I fucked with the world!"

    After a pause, Qi Laosan said: "The officers and soldiers hate the grass bandits, and the people hate the grass bandits. It seems that all the good people in the world hate the grass bandits. But do the grass bandits just jump out from the cracks in the rocks? You guys are also children of your father and your mother!"  If there is still a way to survive, who would want to make a living with their head in their belt?"

    Li Kuo fell into silence for a moment.

    Although his growth process was difficult, he came from a scholarly family after all. He had never experienced those hard lives, so naturally he could not understand some of their choices.  In Li Kuo's view, although his family was in ruins, his ancestors were indeed very prominent, and he could not be considered a thief even if he died of hunger.

    "Let's talk about the bald guy. He is my eldest brother, his name is Jiang Zhui'er. Do you know how he fell into the trap of a bandit? He was originally a butcher in the village, and he saved some money by slaughtering pigs and selling meat. Later,  Under the arrangement of the matchmaker, he married a wife and lived together. Although his wife was not beautiful, she was more virtuous and had a big butt. She looked like a child-bearing mother. The two young people lived together, although they were poor.  But there is also a reason. Who knew that one day a bully from a neighboring village came to their house to collect 'monthly money'. Brother Jiang Zhuier happened to go out to sell meat. His wife couldn't get the money for a while, so she asked the bully to come back another day. Who knew that the bully would come back another day?  Seeing that Brother Jiang's daughter-in-law was as beautiful as a flower, he suddenly had evil thoughts and actually raped her. The pretty daughter-in-law couldn't bear the insult and later committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam. Brother Jiang returned home and cried bitterly all day long after seeing such a scene.  "

    After swallowing, Qi Laosan continued: "Later, he learned what happened from the rumors in the village and went to the county magistrate to complain. Who knew that the county magistrate had benefited from the bully and involuntarily judged Jiang  The eldest brother falsely accused him and slapped him forty times. Brother Jiang had no way to complain, so in anger he turned into a bandit and started a business without any capital."

    Li Kuo couldn't help but sigh. In the past, he only thought that rogue horse thieves were abominable, but he never thought that the background of these horse thieves was so miserable.

    "And we are all people who have been there and know the hardships of ordinary people's families, so most of the people we robbed were corrupt officials and wealthy businessmen. Like today's move in Jincheng, it was also a choice made out of desperation and without rice and food."

    Qi Laosan shook his head and said, "I'm not saying this to make you sympathize. I'm telling you that I am worthy of heaven in this life."

    Shen sighed, and Li Kuo continued: "But you shouldn't rob women either. Those women have offended you, so what's their fault?"

    Hearing this, Qi Laosan's expression darkened and he stopped talking.

    Yes, no matter how moral the robbers are, they are still robbers. After all, what they do is robbing homes and homes.  If you want to survive, if you want to survive in this cannibalistic world, you have to become more cruel and cold.

    "I also told my eldest brother about robbing women, but he insisted on doing thisTherefore, after all, it is already unworthy of brothers to go up the mountain to become bandits. If they can no longer leave a trace of incense, they will really be sorry for their ancestors.  "

    Having said this, Qi Laosan closed his eyes and let Li Kuo handle it.

    "Let them go!" Li Kuo waved his hand and ordered.

    "Captain, what do you mean by this?" Dou Qing was shocked and asked Li Kuo in a panic.

    "I said let them go!" Li Kuo scolded sharply, and Dou Qing was so shocked that he subconsciously took a step back.

    "Yes!" Dou Qing shook his teeth and waved his hand to the soldiers beside him: "Let them go!"

    Although the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army were disdainful of the horse thieves and grass bandits, this was the governor's order and they could only obey it.

    When the rope around his body was untied, Qi Laosan rubbed his wrist that had been strangled and the skin was peeling away, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Why did you let me go? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

    Li Kuo stood up and walked around indifferently: "First of all, you won't do this, and secondly, you can't kill me with just your strength. So, I don't need to worry at all."

    Qi Laosan was stunned when he heard this, thinking that this person is really conceited.

    "Are you so sure?"

    "The look in your eyes has told me." Li Kuo spread his hands and said, "If any of your 'brothers' want to go back to Heiyun Village, I will not stop them, but this is just this time, if they let me meet them again next time  , I will definitely kill him without mercy."

    Li Kuo thought about it for a long time, smiled at Qi Laosan and confessed frankly.

    "You, what did you just say? Did you promise to let my brothers go back to Heiyun Village?" Qi Laosan's eyes widened and he stared at Li Kuo in disbelief.

    "Yes, of course, if any of you want to join the army or return to your hometown to farm, I will fully support you. If anyone wants to return to your hometown, I can help you become a citizen in Tangzhou. If anyone wants to join the army, as long as your strength reaches my level  According to Mr. Li¡¯s standards, I am also willing to become a leader with you.¡±

    PS: I have been thinking about this plot for a long time. Well, this may be the best choice.
