Chapter 571: The Man in the Cloak and Mask (2)
Saying that, Qin Baichuan ignored everyone's hesitation, stepped up to the second floor, and returned to the room where he had been in the clouds and rain with He Mei before. The monkey hesitantly withdrew the dagger, and the masked man took the lead, followed by Xu Guilin and the others, except for Yu Qingwu who stayed to guard the door, the rest of the people all entered the room.
After entering the door, Xu Guilin and the other three knelt down together, kowtowing to Qin Baichuan: "Mr. Qin, we will offend Mr. Qin's tiger power, and please Mr. Don't remember the villain, and in the future, I will wait for death!" ”
"Oh?" Qin Baichuan was there, and there was no reaction.
"Mr. Qin, everything is my confusion!" Xu Guilin knelt down a few steps: "I reached an agreement with Zhou Guangyao that I will kidnap Mr. Qin and hand him over to him, and he will provide me with shelter, so after learning about Mr.'s whereabouts, I will bring someone here!" If it weren't for ......" Xu Guilin looked at the masked man: "It almost caused a catastrophe!" ”
"Didn't you say you wanted to apologize to Mrs. Li?" Qin Baichuan said with a teasing smile.
"I want to apologize to Mrs. Li, but I ask for forgiveness even more!" Xu Guilin said with a broken egg: "Knowing that Mr. Qin is unwilling to expose his whereabouts when he comes to Anyang, I have to lie at the door of the inn and say that I want to see Mrs. Li......"
"In your opinion, it is important to ask Qin for forgiveness, but I think it is more important to talk about you and Desheng Gong first." Qin Baichuan said with some emotion: "Qin is not a person in the rivers and lakes, but I always feel that since I have worshiped Guan Gong together and drank chicken blood wine, he is a brother for a lifetime, it doesn't matter how many people he kills or how much silver he grabs, but he can't be ungrateful, right?" ”
"Mr. Qin......" Xu Guilin opened his mouth to argue, but he glanced at the masked man again, and he couldn't speak at all.
"I know, what you want to say is that it was Li Mingxiu who joined the coastal army at the beginning, and later he sentenced the coastal army, so you followed." Qin Baichuan said for him: "So, in your opinion, you are loyal to Li Mingxiu, not Li Desheng, so it's not ungrateful, is it?" ”
"Sir, the villain has made a strong argument...... That's what I think. Xu Guilin resigned himself to his fate and nodded vigorously.
"It's not a rhetoric, it's true." Qin Baichuan sighed and said, "You have your reasoning, and Qin also has Qin's difficulties...... When Duke Desheng was dying, he entrusted all the coastal troops to Qin, and I saw that my sister-in-law, an orphan and widow, was also very pitiful, so I took a hard shot. I was expecting to have a battle with you, but I didn't expect you to find the door...... Well, what does it mean now? ”
"Mr. Qin, Mrs. Li!" Xu Guilin gritted his teeth: "Our brother has already discussed, all the properties of the coastal army will be returned in their original form, and we will send it to Mrs. in person in person later!" If Mr. looks up to our brothers, we will stay in the coastal army, and if Mr. has any scruples, we will leave and never perform on the land of Anyang for the rest of our lives! ”
"Surrender?" Two words came to He Mei's mind, and she was stunned and couldn't believe it. She was prepared for the worst, why did there be such a turn? Don't say that she is just a weak woman, even if Desheng Gong is alive, these three people have not surrendered!
"I reminded you once, Qin is just a strong leader, and the real decision is in the hands of his sister-in-law." Qin Baichuan smiled at He Mei and said, "Sister-in-law, you also understand the meaning of these three people, right?" If the sister-in-law wants them to give birth, they will live, and if they want to die, they will die. ”
"Sister-in-law!" Zhang Guangli and Hu Xiang also knelt down a few steps and came to Xu Guilin's side: "At the beginning, the coastal army was in turmoil, and we were also our own masters, and now Anyang has fallen into the hands of Black Tiger Mountain, Chen Moya and others are fighting for themselves, and Anyang is no longer the Anyang of the past." This time, my sister-in-law was able to come back, and I also decided to change our minds and ask my sister-in-law to give us a chance! ”
The words of the three people are not the same, but the meaning expressed is basically the same, He Mei was flustered, and she couldn't make up her mind, so she pulled Qin Baichuan's sleeve: "Brother Qin, my mind is already messed up, can you decide for your sister-in-law?" ”
"Me?" Qin Baichuan pointed to his nose.
"Of course." He Mei nodded: "Let's make it clear before, after recovering the deceased husband's property, you account for seventy percent, and proportionally speaking, you are the one who speaks." ”
"I'll talk about the proportional distribution later, if my sister-in-law wants to hand it over to Qin to deal with this matter, then I have to make it clear." Qin Baichuan pointed to the three people kneeling on the ground and said: "From the perspective of Desheng Gong, these three people are treacherous, even if they are their masters, a traitor is a traitor after all, and it is not an exaggeration to die a thousand times." ”
"Hmm." He Mei nodded, and Xu Guilin and the three of them trembled slightly.
"However, having said that, the forces in the rivers and lakes are not the imperial court, and the so-called loyalty or not depends on whether the benefits are enough, and besides, they are all Li Mingxiu's people, and it is not unreasonable to go against Desheng Gong." Qin Baichuan said very frankly: "Besides, Mrs. Sister-in-law, you have just returned to Anyang, your foundation is unstable, and there are not many followers, if you drive them away or kill them, it will not be beautiful." ”
"Brother Qin means...... Take them? He Mei was a little worried, now she can't even figure out why they surrendered, what are you doing with it? This group of arrogant soldiers, but, can she domesticate?
"Yes, let them keep their useful bodies and serve their sister-in-law." Qin Baichuan nodded: "But there is one sister-in-law who must remember that if they are sincere and obedient, you must not blame the past grievances and grievances, and you can even give them some more benefits." The purpose of doing this is also simple, that is, to convey such a message to everyone in Anyang, you He Mei can laugh at the enmity and hatred, and you can entrust the traitors of the coastal army with important tasks, so will the prestige of the sister-in-law also rise with the tide? Perhaps many people in the rivers and lakes will say that in terms of bearing, Mrs. Sister-in-law is not worse than Desheng. What do you think, Mrs. Sister-in-law? ”
"Brother Qin, you have said everything so bluntly, wouldn't it be a fool if I don't understand it anymore?" He Mei shook her head lightly and said with a smile: "I also heard it, Brother Qin asked me to accept them, and then I forgot about the past...... Brother, sister-in-law is not afraid of your jokes, now that they don't trouble me, I will burn high incense, how can I be resentful! What Zhang Tang Master said is also right, in the past, it was only the internal strife of the coastal army, and it was also an internal matter of the coastal army to overturn the sky, and my real enemy was Heihu Mountain. ”
"Mrs. Sister-in-law understands righteousness, and Qin admires it." Qin Baichuan got up and clenched his fists, He Mei stole a glance at him, obviously it's all your meaning, do you have to add all the credit to me? Qin Baichuan tacitly agreed with her, and asked: "Mrs. Sister-in-law can forgive them, I want to ask, what about He Li, Li Jian?" If they give Hall Master Xu and others small shoes to wear in the future, they will inevitably bury hidden dangers. ”
"He Li listens to me, as for Li Jian'......" He Mei hesitated: "Li Jian is still young, and he may be a little radical sometimes...... But it doesn't matter, he is under Brother Qin, and there will be no chaos if you supervise him. ”
"That's good." After doing all the work, Qin Baichuan smiled and said, "Hall Master Zhang, Hall Master Xu, Hall Master Hu, you all heard clearly, right?" ”
"Clear." The three of them kowtowed in unison: "Thank you Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin for their kindness!" Although Qin Baichuan repeatedly emphasized that He Mei was the main figure, they still put Qin Baichuan in front of them when they thanked him.
"You stand up and wait." Qin Baichuan waved his hand, looked meaningfully at the masked man who had never said a word, looked at He Mei and said, "Sister-in-law...... Do you know who he is? ”
"He is ......" He Mei shuddered, according to Qin Baichuan's previous inference, shouldn't he be from Black Tiger Mountain?
"That's it...... Li Mingxiu, don't pretend to be a ghost. Qin Baichuan rubbed his temples and said softly.
"Who? Lee Myung-so? He Mei only felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her whole person instantly stiffened! Lee Myung-so, how can it be Lee Myung-so? Although she was far away in Anyang, she had already heard that Li Mingxiu died at the hands of Qin Baichuan in Jiangling!
He Mei was full of doubts, the masked man took a deep breath, slowly took off the mask on his face, revealing a resolute and handsome face, who is it not Li Mingxiu?
"You ......" He Mei's body trembled, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. Li Mingxiu joined the coastal army very early, and Desheng accepted him as his adopted son, and even passed on all the coastal army to him! But what about Lee Myung-so? It can be said that if it weren't for Li Mingxiu's rebellion, which caused the vitality of the coastal army to be greatly damaged, Heihu Mountain might not have been able to eat Desheng Gong!
"Mr. Qin." Li Mingxiu's face was expressionless, and he knelt down again and kowtowed to Qin Baichuan, where Li Mingxiu was, Qin Baichuan had the grace of life for him regardless of his previous suspicions, and then looked at He Mei: "Stepmother." ”
Lee Myung-so...... Li Mingxiu ......" He Mei's body trembled violently, and at the moment when Li Mingxiu unveiled the mask, all the doubts in her heart were basically solved. Why did Xu Guilin and others treat her with condescension, it turned out that Li Mingxiu found them! Even though Li Mingxiu has lost power, the tiger is not invincible, and he can still eat these three people to the death! It's like Chen Moya doesn't care about He Mei, but as long as Desheng Gong comes back to life, Chen Moya still has to surrender! There is no reason, just that kind of surrender and reverence that comes from the bones!
Speaking of Li Mingxiu, at the earliest time, he took refuge in King Yi and wanted to seek a future, so he rebelled against Duke Desheng, but one wrong step was wrong, and after he failed, he became the abandoned son of King Yi to win over Qin Baichuan...... If Qin Baichuan hadn't inexplicably let him live, Li Mingxiu, who was crisscrossing Anyang, would have been a pile of loess long ago.
For Li Mingxiu, during this period of life and death, he experienced ups and downs, and he saw clearly and looked down on many things. After Qin Baichuan let him go, he waited for three days and three nights in that mountain range, but he didn't see the people sent by King Yi...... Not even the corpses. After that, he was so dead that he secretly returned to Anyang to cry at the grave of Duke Desheng.
Originally, he wanted to retire from the rivers and lakes and disappear, but some time ago, he accidentally learned the news of Qiu Shan's disbandment, and after a little attention, he probably learned about Qin Baichuan Qiu Shan's madness. Although the rumors on the rivers and lakes are not true, Li Mingxiu still paid attention and finally confirmed the authenticity of the incident.
Qin Baichuan was kind to him, and Li Mingxiu, who had reformed himself, thought that it was necessary for him to come forward, so he secretly went to Jiangling, but the guards around Qin Baichuan were too alert, and it was difficult for him to get close at all. Later, Qin Baichuan and He Mei came to Anyang successively, although I don't know why Qin Baichuan wanted to help He Mei, but what Qin Baichuan wants to do, he must support unconditionally, so there is today's scene.
