Li Yongan left Kang Dali and Zhang Laosan behind, and explained to them separately, and said to them: "I went to the town this time, if there is an accident and I can't come back, then the cottage will be handed over to you to take care of. Zhang Laosan hurriedly said: "You don't have to think about this, if something happens to you, these thousands of brothers will have to break up, and no one can take your place to control them!" ”

Kang Dali also said: "Big boss, you don't have to be so pessimistic, isn't it just a small Anping Town?" Could it be that Longtan Tiger's Den is not successful? If something happens, you don't have to do anything with them, just let them arrest them honestly, as long as you live, I will definitely rescue you, but if it doesn't work, I will take the whole cottage to attack the town and level it! ”

Li Yongan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "This must not be, for the sake of me alone, so many people died, even if I was rescued alive, I would be uneasy!" I hope that all qiē can be smooth, and there will be no mistakes! ”

After Li Yongan finished speaking, he waved his hand at the two and asked them to go back too. After that, he returned to see the two young ladies of the Tan family and said to them: "Eldest Miss, Second Miss, I have already explained everything, and I can go back to the town with you!" ”

The second lady, Tan Suqin, smiled slightly and said, "Have you explained everything in the future?" Okay, let's go, don't worry, if something happens to you, I'll buy you a coffin! After speaking, he couldn't help but laugh twice.

The eldest lady Tan Suyun couldn't help but glared at her, and reprimanded: "Nonsense! ”

Li Yongan didn't care, smiled slightly, and replied, "Then thank you Second Miss!" ”

At that moment, the three of them set off together, the Tan sisters still took the carriage, Li Yongan rode a horse to accompany them, and before noon, the three of them rushed back to the town.

The two sisters of the Tan family invited Li Yongan to sit on the Tan Mansion, but Li Yongan was afraid of seeing Old Man Tan, so he refused to go to anything, and finally found an inn to settle down.

After lunch at noon, Tan Suqin sent someone to invite He Shaorong over and told him that she had brought Li Yongan. He Shaorong couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this, and hurriedly went to the inn to see Li Yongan in person. After the two met, He Shaorong hugged his fists and said, "Li Da is in charge, it is not easy to invite you to this Anping Town!" ”

Li Yongan also hugged his fists and replied, "How dare I not come if you invite me, Grand Master He?" I'd like to get you more guns and ammunition! ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, sat down at the table, He Shaorong called the shopkeeper and asked for a pot of good tea to entertain Li Yongan. After a while, the tea came up, and the two of them continued to chat while sipping tea.

He Shaorong said: "Li Da wants guns and ammunition, but it's not easy? As long as you surrender and join our government army, you will have as many guns and ammunition as you want, so why bother to ask me? Maybe I'll come and ask my brother for some alms! After saying that, he laughed twice.

Li Yongan also laughed twice with him and said, "Is there really such a good thing? Those of us who are bandits have done all the bad things, and our hands are covered with blood, and the government can not blame us for the sins we have committed in the past? ”

He Shaorong said: "Brother Li, this is wrong! How many people are not covered in blood in this troubled world? The more you dip, the higher you climb, and you don't have to worry about it. Now is the time when the world is in chaos and the heroes are everywhere, and heroes like the big boss are the objects of all parties, as long as you have the strength, even if you have made a big mistake, it doesn't matter! ”

Li Yongan said: "In this case, my brother would like to ask, if I surrender, what kind of official position will the government give me?" Isn't it possible to be a regiment leader like you Brother He? ”

He Shaorong said: "This brother, I am a small official, what I said doesn't count, it doesn't count until the chief says it!" But brother, don't worry, now there is a chief who has the final say in this Anping Town, this chief's surname is Tian, and he is a big man sent by the headquarters! As long as he nods, brother, the day when you will be added to the rank of knight is just around the corner! ”

He Shaorong said with his eyebrows fluttering, as if a pie had really fallen from the sky, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea, and then continued: "Brother today, you have just arrived, and you are tired from the journey, so take a good rest, and I will introduce you to this Chief Tian for your brother early tomorrow morning!" ”

Li Yongan hugged his fists and said, "Then there is Captain Lao He!" ”

He Shaorong said politely: "Where, where!" ”

He told Li Yongan some things that should be paid attention to when he saw Tian Ronghai, what to say, and what to do, and then he said goodbye and left happily. Li Yongan was able to come, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, as if he had lifted off the big stone that was pressing on his chest, and he was a lot more relaxed. Of course, Li Yongan has not yet agreed to the matter of defection, but He Shaorong believes that as long as the conditions set by Tian Ronghai are not harsh and can meet some of Li Yongan's basic requirements, then there should be no problems with Li Yongan's defection, and at that time, maybe he will make a great contribution because of this!

After He Shaorong left, Li Yongan had nothing to do, so he came out of the inn and came to the street to wander, he had not been back to the town for many years, and wanted to look around to see what had changed in the town.

Li Yongan walked all the way forward along the street, looking around as he walked, the familiar houses, the familiar streets, a vague thing, but the passage of time is already a thing! Unconsciously came to the market in the center of the town, and saw people coming and going from afar, busy and abnormal, selling vegetables, selling all kinds of snacks, shouting endlessly, plus the shops on both sides of the market, the scene seemed very prosperous and lively.

Li Yongan walked towards the market, looking east, west, and all around. When he was walking forward, he suddenly met a person, who couldn't help but pause after seeing Li Yongan, and looked straight at him. Li Yongan didn't care, glanced at him, passed by him, and continued to walk forward. But suddenly I heard the man shouting behind him: "You are Li Yongan!" You are the bandit leader Li Yongan! ”

After hearing the shout, the people around couldn't help but look at Li Yongan. Li Yongan stopped, turned his head and looked at the person again, this person was Ge Changshun, Li Yongan vaguely felt familiar, but he had long forgotten to see it there, but Ge Changshun remembered him very well, and immediately recognized it when he saw it.
