Chapter 2 Failed negotiations
Zhu Ge stood at the foot of Wuji Mountain, wearing his beige-washed, old-fashioned heel-length cloth cloak with a hat on it, carrying a package containing a hundred oceans from all over the town, and holding his glasses.
At best, he Zhu Ge is an intellectual who graduated from a normal school, at best, he has only done a few years of unpopular paperwork by the county magistrate's side, how can he talk about any judgment, let alone see the bandits, saying that he is not afraid that it is fake, saying that his legs are not trembling is even more fake, he stands at the foot of the mountain and wanders, his underwear is soaked in cold sweat, he has not heard that the bandits have killed people, and it does not mean that the bandits do not kill, this swaggering up the mountain to ask for people, or people want to be the person who presses the lady of the village, this is not clear that he knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to the tiger mountain!
But behind him, the black and oppressive field, that is the whole town is sending him, they want to watch him calmly go up the mountain, bring back their mayor's daughter, bring back the good news that the bandits agreed to be good......
He gritted his teeth, slowly and leisurely began to sway up the mountain, the sheep intestine path is paved with stone steps, the trees on both sides of the road are lush, the flowers and birds reflect each other, it is simply a beautiful scenery in the world, back and forth several turns to the halfway up the mountain, a steep cliff suddenly appeared in front, under the cliff is a few courtyard buildings, hidden among the trees, there is a special taste.
This...... This is a copycat? That's what it is...... Bandit dens? Why is it so similar to the pastoral courtyard built by dignitaries and nobles living in seclusion in the mountains?
But before he could be beautiful enough, the back of his head was pressed against something cold and hard.
"You don't want to live in broad daylight?"
Zhu Ge understood, the designation on the back of his head was a gun, but he didn't break in, obviously there was no one all the way, and he swaggered up.
"This brother, I'm from the town down the mountain, I'm here...... to negotiate. β
The person behind him trembled.
I guess no one dared to negotiate with them.
Zhu Ge was brought into the lobby of the thieves' den with a gun to the back of his head.
The house is quite similar to the architectural style of the Qing Dynasty, it is estimated that it was built by the Qing soldiers who occupied the mountain for the king earlier, a tiger skin chair is high, and two rows of mahogany chairs extend to the entrance of the lobby, which reminds him of Shuibo Liangshan.
There was no one inside.
"Stay honest, negotiate." The man with the gun snatched the package in Zhu Ge's hand and went to another courtyard, and had fun while walking.
It's been half an hour......
Zhu Ge tensed his nerves, this ...... It's too quiet, too...... Not even a figure.
His legs are sore, so let's sit down for a while.
Picking the nearest chair, Zhu Ge carefully only sat on the edge of one chair, and as soon as his buttocks were touched, he heard two gunshots outside.
It won't be ...... It can't be that you killed the girl from the mayor's house, right?
Zhu Ge got up and wanted to run out, but only buried one foot over the threshold, and a large group of people came in front of him.
The leader was dressed in a big red robe, with a strong figure and dark skin, tilting his head to listen to what the people around him were saying as he walked. It is estimated that it is the martial arts in the mouth of the mayor, yes. He was followed by a large group of people of all kinds. Zhu Ge didn't know how to describe these people, and after thinking about it for a long time, only each had its own merits to describe.
A large group of people came to the front in a blink of an eye, and Zhu Ge stood with his two feet a mile away.
The person who went to report the news just now shouted from behind: "He is the one who is in charge." β
The big red robe took two steps forward. Face to face with Zhu Ge.
Zhu Ge's eyes looked directly into the man's mouth. The lips are thin at the top and thick at the bottom, and the teeth are white. He lifted his glasses and said, "In ...... The new teacher in Xiawuji Town, entrusted by the mayor, came to ...... ...... to negotiate"
After speaking, he raised his head and faced the arrogant and angular face of the big red robe.
The big red robe's eyes were blazing, and he squinted and stared at Zhu Ge for a long time.
Zhu Ge didn't dare to look at each other anymore, he could feel the powerful aura and pressure, he lowered his head, and wanted to retreat.
"Hahahaha......"
The big red robe laughed, and a large group of people behind him also laughed.
Zhu Ge knew that he was a clown in their eyes at this time.
"Under ...... In the next is also entrusted by others. His voice grew quieter, and their laughter grew louder and louder.
Finally, the big red robe raised his hand, and the laughter stopped abruptly.
"Negotiating, come in."
As soon as he wore his clothes, the two little minions behind him carried Zhu Ge into the lobby.
Zhu Ge stood in the center of the hall, surrounded by bandits and bandits.
The bandit leader sat high on a tiger skin chair and played with a jet-black shiny pistol.
"Say, what's your name, where is it, what are you doing, to put it bluntly, maybe I'll agree to you when I'm happy."
Zhu Ge grabbed his pants in his cloak with both hands, raised his head and said, "In Xia Zhu Ge, he is a new teacher in Wuji Town, I heard that ...... I heard that the mayor's two daughters were robbed by you...... You took you to the mountains. I'm here to pick them up. β
Someone around was pulling out a gun. Zhu Ge heard the sound of a pistol being loaded. Get oneβs dander up.
"You really have two hits, going up the mountain single-handedly to ask for someone? I'm not afraid I'll kill you! The bandit leader propped his elbows on his knees and looked at Zhu Ge with a playful expression.
"Under ...... Under ......"
Before he finished speaking, the leader was already in front of him, and the muzzle of the gun was firmly pressed against Zhu Ge's temple.
Zhu Ge didn't see how he arrived in front of him, and suddenly felt cold from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
"Under ...... In the next just ...... It's just that you are entrusted by others, and you are the master of the house. Zhu Ge felt that he was going to be unable to stand.
"I'm going to decide, ...... the money you brought" He took the hundred yuan of ocean brought by Zhu Ge from the hand of the minion behind him, and turned it upside down, "I will also accept it, you go back and talk to my father-in-law, let him Ming'er bring a thousand yuan of ocean to drink the wedding wine, hahahaha......"
Laughing, Zhu Ge stared at the arrogant red lips and white teeth of Wu Gong Xiao, thinking to himself, such a person, there is nothing to talk about.
"Then I'll go back next."
He longed to step down the mountain. Although the person was not saved, and the money was gone, his life was saved, and he Zhu Ge was not such a dead-eyed person, so it was a big deal to go back and find a way.
As soon as his heart was relieved, he walked out on the soft couch. His arm was grabbed from behind, and he turned his head to meet the leader's bottomless eyes.
"Did I say let you go!"
A little minion ran in, and the minion glanced at him, and when he went in, he whispered something to Wu Gong.
Zhu Ge can't care so much, let's leave quickly.
He held his glasses and tightened his cloak, trying to break free.
"Slow, the ...... of negotiations"
Stopped. Then he was pulled back.
"You serve as a military advisor for the county magistrate?" Wu Gong asked playfully.
Zhu Ge didn't know what Wu Gong meant when he asked this, so he replied truthfully: "I have been a clerk for the county magistrate." He didn't say that he let him come to Wuji Town because the county magistrate didn't want to see him.
Well, Zhu Ge thought in his heart, according to this, this fell into the thief's den, and it was the fault of the county magistrate.
"Lao Tzu doesn't care what kind of paperwork or not, let me ask you, the batch of arms stolen by the Japanese devils in the county seat last year was instructed by the county magistrate, and you were the one who came up with the idea, is there such a thing?"
Zhu Ge was stunned for a moment, few people knew about this matter, did he admit it or not?
"Hey, surnamed Zhu, say it quickly, if you don't say it, you won't be allowed to go down the mountain. Leave you in the mountains to feed the pigs. A man in his forties and fifties said with a smile.
"Under ...... I didn't dare to make an idea, but I just put forward my personal opinion a little. β
Zhu Ge bowed over, his eyes rolled eight times, and he didn't know what the purpose of his question was.
Wu Gong called a person who seemed to be a little cultured in the hall and asked, "What does he mean by that?" β
"Meaning, it was his idea."
"Hahahaha......" Before Zhu Ge came back to his senses, Wu Gong had already put away the gun, slapped his hand on the shoulder, and laughed wildly.
"Negotiating, from now on, you will stay in the mountains and be my military advisor, and you will also get a few boxes of arms for Lao Tzu to play with."
Someone started to make a fuss, and Zhu Ge knew that things were not good.
"No, it's down...... I don't have this ability under it. β
"What's the matter? I'm not as good as your county magistrate? β
"No, no, no, it's just that I'm already a teacher in the town under the mountain, and if I leave, the child will have no teacher."
"What the do you think I'm talking to you? Okay, I'll discuss with you, whether to stay, or to kill first and then stay, which one do you choose? β
