Chapter 156: Two Choices
Two choices were placed in front of him, one step further was life, one step back was death, and how to choose, he glanced back at the brothers who had come out with him, their faces full of horror.
What if it's them? If each of them were standing in their current position, what would they choose, I'm afraid they wouldn't care about themselves for their own lives, right?
Li Hao felt much better when he thought about it, he immediately looked at Qi Lichen and said: "I, I want to live, I can't die, I have an old mother and children, I can't die!" ”
Qi Lichen smiled, "I heard that you grew up together, look at these people behind you, don't you have a little bit of a plan?" Are these lives less than one of yours? ”
Li Hao took a deep breath, "I can't die, they are dead, I can help them take care of their families." ”
"Li Hao, I really didn't see it, you are such a white-eyed wolf, exchanging one of your lives for more than a dozen lives of our brothers, you are good enough for your wishful thinking, how do you take care of our family? With the little money in your hand, it's hard to maintain the food and clothing of your family, right? How dare you take care of our family here without shame? One of them said indignantly.
After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Qi Lichen, "Why only give him the opportunity to choose and not give us?" ”
"Okay, I'll give you this opportunity, choose whether you die alone, or whether they die or you live." Qi Lichen said.
"What is there to fear from death?" The man said, "Everyone is old and young, if I sacrifice for everyone, and gather the strength of everyone, everyone will take care of my family, and what am I afraid of?" ”
Qi Lichen glanced at him, and saw that there was indeed no fear on his face, so he smiled slightly and said, "You are not afraid of death." ”
"Actually, I'm scared, but I'm even more scared, these brothers are dead." The man was neither humble nor arrogant.
Qi Lichen never thought that there would be such a person among these greedy people, and he suddenly felt a little appreciation in his heart, "What's your name?" ”“”
"If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname, Wu Sheng."
"Yes, I wonder if you would like to serve under me?" Qi Lichen said.
Wu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and a little hesitation flashed in his eyes when he looked at Qi Lichen, he didn't know where Qi Lichen came from, and he didn't know who he was? Why did he know exactly where the treasure was, but he understood that Qi Lichen didn't look like that kind of traitor.
"Then they ......" Wu Sheng didn't want to see his partner die.
Qi Lichen made a gesture towards Bai Ze, Bai Ze did not hesitate to draw his long sword and cut off Li Hao's head with one sword, Li Hao didn't even react, a pair of eyes stared at the boss.
Everyone else was frightened, Bai Ze sneered, "Our pavilion master likes loyal people, treachery, regardless of his partners, he is innocent of death, and our pavilion master also knows that this matter was planned by him and has nothing to do with you, so our pavilion master spared you, and you can do it yourself." ”
Wu Sheng never thought that it would be like this, Pavilion Master? Could it be that it is Qingyu Pavilion?
He immediately asked, "I heard that there is a Qingyu Pavilion on the rivers and lakes. ”
"Your news is not closed." Bai Ze smiled.
"Could it be that Your Excellency is the Pavilion Master of Qingyu Pavilion?" Wu Sheng asked.
Qi Lichen was silent, and Wu Sheng had already guessed it, "No wonder, this Qingyu Pavilion has a good reputation in the rivers and lakes." ”
"Would you like to join?" Bai Ze asked, he also likes people with character, and the person in front of him is rare.
Wu Sheng thought about it carefully, and only said after a long time: "There are still people in my family, I can't rest assured, I just want to stay in this small village." ”
"I respect your choice, you go, take these people back, I can make it clear, if next time, if I find this kind of behavior again, then I'm welcome." Qi Lichen said lightly. It's easy
Even though he didn't use a threatening tone, there was no doubt in that tone that it was frightening.
Wu Sheng nodded, "Don't worry, it will definitely not, the people locked up in the village, I will release them all when I go back." ”
"No need." Qi Lichen laughed.
Wu Sheng was a little puzzled, and before he could react, Bai Ze explained beside him: "If you are not sure about the safety of those people, how can our Pavilion Master act rashly, remember, don't tell anyone about the fact that our Pavilion Master has appeared here." ”
Wu Sheng nodded clearly, "Okay, Pavilion Master Qi, if he has the opportunity one day, I will definitely join Qingyu Pavilion and be sent by the Pavilion Master." ”
Qi Lichen didn't speak again, just waved his hand and let the other party leave.
Bai Ze glanced at Wu Sheng's back with some concern, "He won't retaliate against us, right?" ”
"He seems to be quite open-minded, and he won't avenge Li Hao, the reason why I let Li Hao choose to let him die, or let everyone die, he has a little affection, and chooses to die by himself and live others, I will let everyone go, but he didn't make such a choice, kill him, and no one will blame us for this matter, after all, they were chosen by Li Hao to die, what reason do they have to blame me?" Qi Lichen said with a smile.
Bai Ze nodded, "The pavilion master is really scheming. ”
"This person guessed in his heart, it was easy to say, and it was difficult to say, it was all just a thought." Qi Lichen said lightly.
As he was talking, Bai Bing came over, took out a burden from his hand, and handed it to Qi Lichen's hand, "This is what my subordinates handed over to my subordinates before leaving, let me bring it to your son." ”
As soon as he heard that it was something that Xi Duyun brought, the expression on Qi Lichen's face softened a little, and he immediately opened the baggage, only a thick piece of clothing and a bunch of letters.
"What is this letter?" Qi Lichen looked at the thick pile of letters and asked a little strangely.
"Madame said that communication was inconvenient, so I wrote thirty letters, and the pavilion master opened one every day." Bai Bing said.
Qi Lichen felt warm in her heart, looking at those clothes, she knew that she must be worried that she would be cold and hungry, with a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?
He took out a letter casually, it was still familiar with the handwriting, crooked, it looked a little cute, just a poem, red beans were born in the south, and a few branches were sent in spring.
Turning it over, there was still a little ink on the back, and if I looked closely, it was a few small words as thin as hair, "I miss you." ”
He couldn't help but smile, this Xi Duyun, wrote the words so small, was he afraid that he would be able to see it? He folded the letters, and looked at the other letters in the baggage, originally wanted to open them all to take a closer look, but if he read them all this time, then what should he do with the remaining thirty days, this deep mountain communication is inconvenient, even if he really sends the letter back, it will take ten days to come and go, he can't stand it.
Thinking of this, he withdrew his hand again.
This little entanglement was seen clearly by Bai Bing and Bai Ze, but they didn't expect Qi Lichen, who was entangled, to have a kind of contrast and cuteness.
The two of them immediately lowered their heads, if they were discovered by the pavilion master, would it be a small life?
Qi Lichen packed up his baggage, cleared his throat and said, "Go on." ”
Bai Bing immediately stepped forward like a dog and said, "Pavilion Master, this burden is heavy, I'll carry it for you." ”
"Go." Qi Lichen glared at him and carried the burden on his body, "I can't carry this weight anymore?" ”
Bai Bing and Bai Ze looked at each other and smiled, it seems that only the future lady can calm Qi Lichen, they have followed the pavilion master for so many years, and they have never seen him lightly, rarely like this.
