Sun Ba, the word Zhongdao, a person from Youzhou, was originally the captain of Yuyang County, because he offended the local Haoqiang Gongsun family, he was forced to leave his hometown, and came to Mount Tai with hundreds of cronies to settle down, and now he has become one of the leaders of the thieves in Mount Tai, calling himself the Taibao of Yishan.

Li Qing did not directly find out the intention, but tried to find out the relationship between Sun Ba and Song Lu.

Li Qing said: "I heard that Sun Taibao is the second most powerful leader among the heroes of Mount Tai, I wonder if Taibao wants to go one step closer?" ”

Sun Ba laughed and said, "Little brother, if you came to me to talk about this, then you can go." ”

Li Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Why is this Taibao? ”

Sun Ba said: "The reason why Sun went down the mountain this time is because I have heard the name of the mastiff clan for a long time, I didn't expect the mastiff clan to send you such a junior to see me, it is really disappointing, if you want to say that the mastiff clan wants to ally with me to deal with Song Lu, then you still die of this heart, Song Lu, it is much stronger than you imagined." ”

Li Qing didn't expect Sun Ba to refuse so directly, but it's no wonder that Sun Ba has a family business in Mount Tai after all, if there are not enough interests, how can he easily break with Song Lu.

Li Qing looked at Sun Ba and said, "Sun Taibao, I don't know if you know anything about Dewey?" ”

Sun Ba's face turned cold and said, "Dewey? That idiot, do you think that by killing a Dewey, you can threaten me? To tell you the truth, if I wanted to kill Dewey, it would be no different from crushing an ant to death, and the reason why I kept him was just for another purpose. ”

Li Qing waved his hand and said, "I didn't mean that, I just wanted to ask the Taibao, do you know why Dewey suddenly became hostile to our mastiff clan?" ”

Sun Ba's eyes froze, Sun Ba has always been very curious about this matter, although Sun Ba looks down on Dewey, but Sun Ba also knows that Dewey is not a fool, he can't have a bad relationship with a barbarian tribe like the mastiff for no reason.

Sun Ba frowned and said, "If you have something to say, just say it, Sun doesn't like to beat around the bush." ”

Li Qing nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll say it directly, I want to cooperate with Sun Taibao." ”

Sun Ba asked, "How to cooperate?" ”

Li Qing said: "The mastiff clan is willing to form an alliance with the Taibao to help the Taibao become the king of Mount Tai, and the Taibao needs to protect the mastiff clan from being violated." ”

Sun Ba asked, "Then what can I get?" ”

Li Qing showed a confident smile on his face and said, "How about the position of Zhonglang General?" ”

Sun Ba's face changed, General Zhonglang, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, in addition to the position of general, the imperial court has long had no permanent general, General Zhonglang is already the largest official position in a local army, General Zhonglang, for Sun Ba, the former captain, has to be regarded as a great temptation.

"You're from the government?"

Sun Ba looked at Li Qing solemnly, Li Qing had a handsome face, and he really didn't look like a mastiff.

Li Qing shook his head and said, "If you are willing to cooperate, I will let you know why I can make you a Zhonglang general." ”

Sun Ba hesitated, from a captain to a bandit, this kind of gap is not understandable to ordinary people, Sun Ba used to be a border military captain, once fought with foreign races on the battlefield, but in the end he ended up with a family and could not go back, he could only take his wife and children to live in a foreign country, if he can really recover his official body, Sun Ba is willing to do anything, but, Li Qing, a person from an unknown source, is really capable of helping himself?

Li Qing didn't urge, he could see that Sun Ba was already moved.

Sun Ba looked at Li Qing's eyes and said, "We can cooperate, but you have to let me see your sincerity first." ”

Li Qing smiled, he took out a piece of unrefined gold ore from his arms, handed it to Sun Ba, and said, "This is the reason why Dewey attacked the mastiff clan, and it is also the capital that I can guarantee you to become a Zhonglang general." ”

"It's ...... Gold? ”

Sun Ba took the ore, the expression on his face was very solemn, and he asked with a little hesitation.

Li Qing nodded and said, "Yes, we formed an alliance and mined the gold mine, which will be divided into fifty and fifty, and then I will also donate a Zhonglang general to you in Xuzhou, how about it?" ”

A trace of greed flashed in Sun Ba's eyes, and he asked in a heavy tone, "Why did you choose me?" Aren't you afraid that I'll take the gold mine alone? ”

Li Qing stretched out two fingers, waved his hand, and said, "I chose you because you can't swallow the mastiff clan, fifty-fifty divides, no matter who you find to cooperate, it can't be better than this, isn't it?" ”

Sun Ba was silent, Li Qing was right, his strength was indeed better than Dewey, but if he fought with the mastiff clan and lost both, he would not get any benefits, and fifty-five would be enough.

"I want to see the gold mines."

Sun Ba put forward a reasonable condition, he wanted to see the gold mine with his own eyes.

Li Qing nodded, this request Li Qing had already anticipated it, after all, if you can't determine whether it's true or false, why should others put their lives on you.

Li Qing said: "The mastiff clan welcomes the Taibao at any time. ”

Li Qing said goodbye to Sun Ba, and the two agreed that Sun Ba would go to the mastiff clan as a guest in three days.

Things went more smoothly than expected, Li Qing rode a horse, ready to return to the mastiff clan, not long after leaving the city, Li Qing suddenly felt a sense of unease, couldn't help but restrain the horse, put his hand on the hilt of the sword.

"The dead go on the road, and the living avoid it."

More than a dozen people in black robes appeared around Li Qing, holding mourning sticks in their hands and wearing snow-white demon masks on their faces.

"Who are you?"

Li Qing's face was solemn, these people were chattering, and they were not good at first sight.

"Are you Li Qing?"

Suddenly, two figures appeared behind the man in black, one of them was dressed in white and hat, exactly the same as the white impermanence that Li Qing knew in later generations, and the other person was in black clothes and black hat, and it was the black impermanence.

"Black and white impermanence? Pretending to be a ghost, who are you? Why do you know my name? ”

Li Qing looked at the two of them coldly, there are still people in this world who know themselves, but there are not many of them, these people actually know their names, which really makes Li Qing think about it very scary.

"Your Majesty wants to see you, come with us."

The voice of the black impermanence was very terrifying, and Li Qing's scalp tingled when he heard it, although Li Qing knew that the other party must be a human, but just listening to this voice, there was not much difference from the evil ghost.

"Your Majesty? Could it be that there is really a king of Yama? ”

Li Qing said with a sneer, he knew that he couldn't be good today, and it seemed that he could only fight desperately.

"General Shadow, is that young man really the person we are looking for? He looked to be in his twenties at most, how did His Majesty know about this man forty years ago? ”

Not far away, Cangming looked at Ying Fifteen, who was shrouded in black robes beside him, and asked suspiciously.

Shadow Fifteen said coldly: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, otherwise, even if you are the son of the Ghost King, General Ben will break your neck." ”

"Yes, the last will know what is wrong."
