Chapter 18: The Gentleman's Agreement
"Sure enough, it's a miserable sight. ”
Following the figures of Shen Xilin and Bai Jie, the two of them quickly returned to the small forest of Baihu Mountain, returned to the rugged path, and chased the convoy that had gone away, but what they saw was a wonderful scene.
Looking around, I only saw that the carriages were surrounded by people lying all over the place, and there were thirty or forty people in a rough count, looking at their chests one after another, it was obvious that they were all still alive, and then looking at the extra huge and inexplicable large wine vat next to the carriage, the fool could think that these people were probably fainted.
Shen Xilin looked carefully at the fallen people, there seemed to be no familiar figures, couldn't help but smile slightly, shouted, drove to the side of the carriage, turned over and dismounted, raised his luck, and shouted: "Give me all out!"
The words fell suddenly, Bai Jie behind Shen Xilin only felt a burst in his ears, and it took him a long time to react, and when he came back to his senses, he only heard a few rustling sounds, and several figures suddenly rushed out from the bushes on the side, and it was Wu Qi, Jian Xin, Xiaohu, Liu Li, and Fu Sheng, who knelt down in front of Shen Xilin and shouted loudly: "Lord Duke!"
Seeing this, Shen Xilin smiled slightly, turned to look at Bai Jie, and said with a smile: "How?"
Bai Jie was stunned when she saw this, smiled slightly, and said, "I lost, but I didn't understand, how did you do it?"
When Jian Xin heard this, the five people glanced at each other, and they didn't seem to be able to make up their minds, but when they heard Shen Xilin's "say it", they finally hesitated for a moment, and Jian Xin stood up and said: "That's the case, long before going out, the adults have instructed that among the three mountains, only Baihu Mountain is the weakest, although there are hundreds of people, but Bai Jie, the owner of the village, is cautious, and he will definitely not take it by force, and he will definitely take advantage of this hot weather to set up a puzzle, so we have been prepared early in the morning." ”
"Impossible, I'll stir the ** in the wine, the antidote ......"
Before Bai Jie finished speaking, he heard Fu Sheng continue: "The antidote is in the scoop, you won't be intoxicated if you use the scoop you brought to drink the wine, but this is a plan in the middle, generally those with a little brain will avoid strangers and use their own containers to drink wine, but they will be intoxicated." ”
Bai Jie was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and only after a while did she react, staring straight at Shen Xilin, and said with a complicated expression: "This is also what you taught them?"
Shen Xilin shrugged his shoulders, and Bai Jie turned his head, looked at these people lying down, and the box that had never been moved, and asked suspiciously, "Then what's going on?"
Jian Xin and the others smiled after hearing this, raised their eyes and glanced at Shen Xilin, and after seeing the latter nodding, Jian Xin spoke again: "Well, after we saw through the situation, dozens of bandits suddenly rushed down from the mountain, and we originally wanted to kill them directly, but the adults instructed them not to harm their lives, so we just fainted." ”
Bai Jie raised his eyebrows when he heard this, looked at the five Kenshin meaningfully, and said, "The five of you defeated more than thirty of my brothers?"
The five Kenshin didn't speak, but looking at the smug expressions on their faces, it was obvious that everything had been explained, making Bai Jie's face blue and white for a while, and they couldn't tell whether they were angry or angry, but Shen Xilin smiled lightly and interrupted Bai Jie's depression: "Okay, it's clear who loses and who wins now." Now, what do you think, is it necessary to sit down and talk?"
When Bai Jie heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at Shen Xilin, who was full of smiles, turned his head and muttered for a while, and finally let out a long breath, and said helplessly: "Okay, tell me about your conditions." ”
Shen Xilin was overjoyed when he heard this, came to Bai Jie's side with a smile, turned over and climbed into a carriage and sat down, and said leisurely: "As you said, no matter what, it is still a fantasy to fight thousands of people with five people, so in fact, this time I came not to provoke, but to invite sincerely." ”
"Oh?"
Shen Xilin continued: "The so-called one mountain does not allow two tigers, not to mention that the three cottages are only a few hundred meters apart, it is okay in a short time, the three mountains restrain each other, but in recent days, the momentum of Weihu Mountain has increased day by day, and it is obviously almost to the extent that one family is dominant. ”
Bai Jie smiled after hearing this, only to see her look at Shen Xilin meaningfully, and said leisurely: " What you said doesn't seem to be reasonable, I also believe that you have the strength and self-confidence to exterminate the three mountains, but I don't have your kind of self-confidence, my Baihu Mountain is only three hundred people to die, and Weihu Mountain, there are more than five hundred guards in the mountain alone, not to mention the elite soldiers in the cottage, even if I start an incident with you, of course it will be good, but once it fails, you can walk away, but my three hundred brothers are not going to be wiped out. ”
Shen Xilin was silent after hearing this, only to see him bow his head and ponder for a long time, and finally sighed lightly, waved his hand and turned around and said: "Since this is the case, I won't force it, let's wait for Weihu Mountain to be stronger, and after swallowing Baihu Mountain, I will ask King Yan to ask troops to exterminate Weihu Mountain." ”
After speaking, Shen Xilin motioned to the five Jian Xin, pulled up the silver two and was about to leave. Seeing this, Bai Jie hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Shen Xilin: "Wait a minute, in fact, it is not impossible if you have to ask me to send troops, but I have one condition." ”
After listening to this, Shen Xilin immediately turned around and asked, "What conditions?"
Seeing this, Bai Jie pondered for a moment and said: "It is really impossible to rely on three hundred centaurs to fight against the three thousand elites of Weihu Mountain, but if you can recruit Long Feiyu, the leader of the Shadow Mercenary Regiment in Los Angeles, and the five hundred centaurs under him, in this case, although it is still a bit small, but eight hundred, you can still fight." ”
Shen Xilin smiled when he heard this, and said leisurely: "Since this is the case, then why don't we make an agreement, I will deposit the three million silver taels with you first, which can be regarded as a deposit and medium left for you." ”
After speaking, Shen Xilin turned over and jumped out of the carriage, signaling Kenshin and the five people to jump out of the carriage as well, and actually left the carriage in place, and the six of them walked in the direction of Los Angeles by themselves.
Bai Jie silently looked at the disappearing figures of Shen Xilin and the others, and suddenly turned his head to look at the strange dragon pattern jade pendant on his waist, as if he thought of something, and suddenly stopped Shen Xilin.
Shen Xilin looked back when he heard the sound, only to see a black shadow flying towards him, Shen Xilin instinctively grabbed the black shadow, and after a closer look, it turned out to be the jade pendant on Bai Jie's waist. Shen Xilin smiled when he saw this, didn't say anything, but continued to walk forward by himself, raising the jade pendant in his hand and shaking it at Bai Jie......
Following Shen Xilin's footsteps again, after returning to Los Angeles, Shen Xilin just sent the five Jianxin back to the official mansion, while he came to the Shadow Mercenary Group non-stop, came to Long Feiyu, and discussed the cooperation between the two again.
In the hall of the Shadow Mercenary Group, Shen Xilin was still sitting in the first place, sipping fragrant tea carefully, looking confident, on the other hand, Long Feiyu looked at Shen Xilin's appearance, and the smile on his face was also undisguised, and he asked happily: "Look at the appearance of adults, but the matter is done?"
Shen Xilin didn't speak, but silently took out the dragon pattern jade pendant handed over by Bai Jie from his arms and gently sent it to Long Feiyu.
Long Feiyu was overjoyed when he saw this, grabbed the white jade pendant, carefully looked it up and down, and couldn't stop praising it: "Okay, I really didn't see the wrong person." ”
After saying that, Long Feiyu carefully took the jade pendant into his arms, then turned around and picked up a cup of fragrant tea, and said respectfully to Shen Xilin: "Since this is the case, I will agree to send troops, as long as the adults command, the Shadow Mercenary Group will be on call." ”
Shen Xilin looked at Long Feiyu in front of him with satisfaction, and also gently picked up the tea, and said with a light smile: "If that's the case, I thank you here." ”
"You're welcome. ”
"Also, lend me your tattooed phoenix jade pendant. Shen Xilin said with a smile.
"How do you know, sir?"
In an instant, the next day, in the hall of Baihu Mountain Cottage, Bai Jie, who was depressed about something, suddenly received a letter, the envelope said "Shen Xilin to the owner of Baizhai personally opened", opened it, and only saw four words on the letter: "Gentleman's agreement". The letter also included a piece of tattooed phoenix jade pendant.
Bai Jie was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately announced: "Everyone listen, give me a strong fight, there will be a big move in the next few days." ”
