Chapter 127: The Covenant Descends
The next day, Pastor Jefferson arrived at DuPont's cottage. DuPont had great respect for Pastor Jefferson, and when he saw him come and personally bring people to the door to greet him, as soon as he saw him, he immediately put his right hand on his chest, bowed, and said, "Mr. Pastor, you haven't come to see me for a long time." I've been thinking about you giving me a lecture all day long. ”
Jefferson also has a certain arrogance and vision, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter his eyes, but he is very good to DuPont, hoping that he can have a great future, so he pulled him up and said with a smile: "Dupont, I am not here to give you a lecture today, I have important things to discuss with you." ”
"What's important?" Dupont's eyes rolled, as if he had guessed what the other party meant.
Jefferson didn't talk nonsense to him, and said straight to the point: "Von Bock came to me." Why, I've come all the way here, and you're going to let me stand at the door and talk to you? ”
Old DuPont blushed and said with a sneer: "Look at my brain, please come inside." After that, he bent down and stretched out his hand, invited Dupont to the interior of Dazhai, sat down with the guests, and said with a smile: "Mr. pastor, did Feng Bock come to you to talk about Zhao'an?" Truth be told, he just came to me some time ago. I refused. ”
"Why did you refuse?" Jefferson sat upright in his chair and looked at Dupont with a smirk.
Du Pont waved his hand, smiled, and said, "What's so good about being an official?" There is a saying: 'I am not at ease, I am not at ease when I am on errands', doing their job, there are too many rules, and I can't stand their kind of constraints. ”
The smile on Jefferson's face suddenly disappeared, and a slender face instantly pulled down, became even more skinny, stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "If you say so, I'll leave!" Thanks to me for planning for you for a long time, you didn't tell me the truth! "Then you have to brush up your sleeves and leave.
DuPont obviously respected Jefferson very much, and when he saw that he was really leaving, he quickly got up from his seat, chased him in three steps and two steps, grabbed his arm, and hurriedly apologized, saying: "Mr. Reverend, don't be angry, I was not good just now, I shouldn't lie to you, you know, I have that little face, please don't worry about me anymore." The tone was very sincere.
Seeing him say this, Jefferson was not angry, stood still, and slowly returned to his seat with his support, and said, "I know what you have in mind?" You envy von Bock's kind of life, don't you? You really want to recruit An, the reason why you don't want to nod for a long time, in addition to not being able to wipe away that face, is that you don't believe in Feng Bock, right? ”
Seeing that the priest said it again and again, DuPont no longer concealed it, and revealed his heart to this closest person, saying: "Of course I want to recruit An, there is a way, being a bandit for a day, I am afraid of being a soldier for a lifetime." I've been doing it for so many years, and I've done enough. Before, we were happy and happy, it was because the officers and soldiers were weak, and no one could cure us, but now Governor Taylor has come to the three counties in the north with the elite Fourth Legion, and has put the suppression of bandits in the first place, and I am afraid that our life will become more and more difficult in the future. If you don't accept Zhao'an, you will be exterminated sooner or later. ”
"So, you agree?" Seeing that Dupont was enlightened, Pastor Jefferson was happy in his heart, he had filmed Dupont before he came to see the situation clearly, and he had a mess with him, but now it seems that he is too careful, and said with a smile: "I'm glad that you can think so, and now for you, Zhao'an is indeed the only way out." ”
"But can you believe von Bock's words?" Du Pont finally threw out his biggest worry, and said with a solemn face: "Others don't know him, but I know about him but Menqing, that kid is a person who is more slippery than a loach, and I don't know how many times I have told lies in this life, what if I go to surrender and he hacks me?" ”
Jefferson also groaned, stood up, frowned and paced two steps, yes, Von Bock's sincerity is indeed the threshold of this matter, if this recruitment is a strategy set by him, then DuPont just got into it, not only can he not become an official soldier, but he will also lose his life, so he will become a laughing stock on the rivers and lakes, and after walking a few steps, he turned around and said to Dupont: "I was also worried about this problem before, and I specially asked him." Von Bock swore to me, and swore a poisonous oath, and I saw that he was sincere. And their plate was also opened, which was a winery in Chaoen City. ”
"Although Von Bock is a slippery man and has done a lot of things to steal chickens and dogs, he has never tried to harm his brother, which everyone on the road knows, and I don't think he will break his golden signboard. Besides, we have no other way to go now, and there may be another way to survive if we surrender, and if we resist to the end, we will be eaten by the officers and soldiers sooner or later. ”
After a few words, Dupont was completely silent, he had to admit that he had broken a good deck of cards, he was really too arrogant before, relying on his many people, the terrain was dangerous, and no one was in his eyes, and he offended everyone, and now he has no other way to go except believing in Von Bock.
As Pastor Jefferson said, he may have a way to survive if he chooses to surrender now, if he resists to the end, the officers and soldiers will not be able to destroy him now, and they will destroy him in the future.
"Smack!" With a bang, Dupont slammed on the table, causing the table to buzz, and the teacups were shattered, and he opened his voice and said proudly: "Okay! Lao Tzu will bet on this today, anyway, for so many years, Lao Tzu has also licked blood on the head of the knife, and I don't know how many times I threw it, and it was not bad this time. ”
Jefferson was touched by his pride, and nodded lightly: "Having said that, you still have to be on guard." ”
"Mr. Pastor, please rest assured, if that kid von Bock dares to hack me, I will definitely pull him on his back." Du Pont glared at a pair of big eyes like Niu Ling, and said viciously.
DuPont is absolutely confident in saying this, he has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and he has killed not thousands of people but also hundreds, and the people who do their job have a set of unique skills in their hands, Dupont's unique skills are darts, which can be said to be the small Du flying knife of this era, such as false hair, if Feng Bock wants to attack him, he is absolutely sure to pull him on his back before he dies.
Pastor Jefferson also knew his hole cards, and nodded with a little reassurance, and the matter was settled.
In the end, with Jefferson as the liaison, the two parties agreed to meet next Monday, at the Hilton Hotel, where they had their last drink.
