Chapter 222: Proportion
In the past, Yang Pan would never be able to make such a face, no matter how ruthless he was, there was kindness hidden in his eyes. But after three years, the person in front of him was also murderous.
Carambola shouted 'Fifth Brother' movingly, and as soon as her nose was sore, tears rolled down.
"What are you crying about?" Yang Pan yelled at the star fruit impatiently, in the end, he was angry, and said slightly apologetically: "I'm your brother, are you still afraid that I won't succeed?" Whoever can't survive in this house can go out safely. ”
"I'm not afraid of death!" Carambola raised her crying red eyes and looked at Yang Pan, and said sadly: "I just don't know how to explain to the second aunt when I go back." She thought that she was about to cry blind when she thought about it, and when she earned some money, she was busy buying you a house, just looking forward to going back to tell you about her daughter-in-law. But now ......"
"What's wrong now, I'm not trying to figure it out?" When Yang Pan was at home, he couldn't stand the star fruit crying, and now when he mentions his mother, he is so irritable that he can't care about putting on a score to shock Qiao An, and directly goes to the topic: "If it weren't for the sake of being able to go home in the future, who would be willing to betray his savior." ”
The whole room looked at him, and the woman and the child, who were pretending to be sick, looked at him only once and then lowered their heads, with a complicated look in their eyes.
Joan didn't understand what he meant, and asked him, "What are you going to do?" ”
Having said that, it is impossible to put on a score to suppress Qiao An again. Yang Pan glanced at the star fruit helplessly, and said bluntly: "I can help you enter the city, and if you are capable enough, I can also help you get a team." When you're ready to exterminate the bandits, I can work with you to help you get rid of the bandits. ”
"What do you want?"
"It's very simple, I just want all the surviving bandits to be alive. If the big boss doesn't die in battle, you have to recruit him to a certain official position. When the situation in Xihuo stabilizes, all old things are in the past, and no more reckoning is allowed. ”
"Except for the mountain bandits who died in battle, all of them must be alive?" Qiao Anpin's words, after a while, laughed sneeringly and said: "If you guess correctly, you have all killed all the officials sent by the imperial court here." The 30,000 soldiers of Xihuo also suffered countless casualties, and the people here also suffered a lot of casualties. ”
"The mountain bandits have done a lot of evil, and the court will not be held accountable after the matter is over?"
"But you don't have a choice now!" Yang Pan turned around and looked at Qiao An with sharp eyes: "For the sake of relatives, I can not move you, but even then you will never be able to walk out of the Jinzhou territory." ”
The little boy from before interjected at the right time: "The big boss has been waiting at the gate of the city for three days without waiting for anyone, and has already sent people to the periphery. Most of the people around are unwilling to accept the corrupt officials of the imperial court, and they are actively trying to arrest you and ask for credit. ”
Qiao An believed that what he said was true, but he only frowned slightly: "If I die, there will be a new county order, and if I die, there will be a new one." If no one succeeds in taking office, I am afraid that the next one will not be the county order, but the army of counterinsurgency. ”
Yang Pan knew that Qiao An was playing with him, just like he wanted to press him before.
But I said my purpose too early and lost the opportunity, and it was really not good not to bow my head.
He frowned and thought for a moment, patted Qiao An's shoulder and smiled, "Then what do you want?" ”
"The court is watching from above, even if the mountain bandits are co-opted, they must have the punishment they deserve. In addition, how to deal with the remaining people and how to incorporate them is a matter for the county order. When the West Fire calms down, no matter who you are, don't come over to point fingers under the banner of merit. ”
The woman slid the silver needle in her hand and glared at Qiao An with murderous anger: "If you haven't done it yet, you have to be greedy and rob merit?" Let me tell you, as long as my Luo Niang is alive, my brothers will have to be together. ”
Qiao An looked at Yang Pan and didn't speak.
The two stared at each other for a long time, and in the end, Yang Pan was defeated. He stretched out his hand to stop Luo Niang and asked Qiao An, "What about the big boss?" I want him to live, he must live, that's my conscience. ”
Qiao An also fell silent, and he looked seriously at Yang Pan's slightly pleading eyes. After a long time, he nodded: "As long as he doesn't die in battle, as long as he doesn't mess around after the fact, I will keep him safe." ”
Without waiting for Yang Pan to nod, Luo Niang had already jumped out: "I don't agree, brothers follow us in the wind and rain, everyone has to be safe." Not only to be safe, but also to be together. If not, there is nothing wrong with recruiting An, and there is nothing wrong with being a bandit. ”
"There's nothing wrong with it now, what if the army of the imperial court comes? It won't be long before the King of Jin will lead the army into the fiefdom, can he tolerate Xihuo being ruled by mountain bandits? Don't you know how many men, weapons, and military funds we have? ”
Luo Niang stiffened her neck and didn't speak, she just knew that there was no way out when the mountain bandits, and she knew that as soon as the army of the imperial court came, their qi would be exhausted, so she was willing to help Yang Pan come to Qiao An.
But to watch her brother who lives and dies together suffer, her heart is dripping blood.
"Let's not talk about those who died in battle, how sure are you that those who are alive will ensure that they live?"
"I can only promise to do everything in my power to keep them safe."
"Good!"
The matter was settled like this, and he was about to say the next step, but he didn't expect the kid to come out and slash at Qiao An's hand with a dagger.
Everyone present was frightened, the guard's original sheathed knife was pulled out again, and the star fruit did not hesitate to push the child to the ground.
Luo Niang's side naturally has a deal to deal with, and the two sides are tense.
Yang Pan was displeased, and slapped him like a fan, but in the end he only squatted down, put the child's shoulder and asked, "What are you doing here?" Didn't we all discuss it before we came, and you agreed? A manly man, he can't talk and doesn't count. ”
"It doesn't count, and there's no repentance. I just warned him that the people were standing aside with their swords in hand. After the matter is completed, if he dares not to treat the people as human beings like the previous county orders, then we will rebel. There is a life left and right, and if you don't fight as an adult, you will fight. ”
At this moment, Qiao An was moved.
He also squatted down in front of the child, picked up the scabbard that had fallen beside him and returned it to him, and said, "Then you should keep your eyes open and look at it, and I, Joan, will take a knife and cut it wherever I am sorry for the people." If I, Joan, resist all at once, I will go to the eighteenth layer of hell after death, and I will never be able to live beyond the dead. ”
This oath is too serious, and star fruit can't help but want to cover his mouth. I can think about it, but I am relieved.
Jo Ann would never do anything to be sorry for the people, so this vow will never have a chance to be fulfilled.
The people on both sides talked about the details for a long time, and then Yang Pan personally sent Qiao An and others into the city.
When they were separated, Yang Pan shouted to the star fruit and said, "You have to go up the mountain with me." ”
Qiao An took the hand of the star fruit, frowning and refusing to agree.
"Without her, Luo Niang won't rest assured, and my henchmen will never believe you." Yang Pan didn't go to grab the star fruit, but looked at the star fruit in the eyes seriously and asked: "The key to the success or failure of the matter is on you, do you follow me?" ”
With oneself, star fruit can understand Yang Pan's difficulties. Although it is mutually beneficial in the end, Yang Pan is fighting with the lives of all the people around him, and if he doesn't pinch Qiao An's weakness, how can he be down-to-earth?
"I'll go with you." Carambola went to break Qiao An's hand, but Qiao An refused to let go: "If you want a hostage, you take Yang Chunxiao there." He's a big man, and he's easier to get along with in the mountains. ”
"He's still more cunning than the old fox, and it's easier for him to escape."
Seeing that she was about to stiffen again, Carambola was so anxious that she stabbed Qiao An's hand with a silver needle: "I have a sense of proportion, and I can protect myself." ”
The tip of the needle penetrated into the flesh, and it hurt to drill the heart, but Qiao An didn't let go.
"That's my fifth brother, the fifth brother who has been good to me since I was a child, he will never hurt me." Carambola's hand holding the needle was weak, and he felt distressed when he looked at the blood beads coming out of the back of his hand: "I promise, I will definitely be fine." ”
Jo Ann remained unmoved.
"Joan!" Star fruit looked into his eyes and pleaded with a loud voice: "If you just feel sorry for me, don't you feel sorry for these subordinates who followed you, don't you feel sorry for the hundreds of thousands of people in West Fire City?" If it doesn't work out this time, what will be the scene when the army comes to suppress it? ”
If there is a war, it will be a river of corpses and blood. That scene, it's uncomfortable to think about it.
Qiao An looked at the star fruit, he wanted to say that your fifth brother is still licking blood on the tip of the knife, how can he protect you; He wanted to say that the mountain bandits' den were full of outlaws, and you were a girl who went to be more auspicious; He wanted to say a lot, but in the end, he only pursed his thin lips and let go.
When Yang Pan pulled the star fruit on the horse's back, Qiao An bent down and solemnly entrusted: "Protect her, definitely!" ”
"This is also my sister, dear!"
Yang Pan glanced at Qiao An, beat the horse and left.
Halfway through, Yang Pan asked Carambola to follow Luo Niang to change her outfit. Then he warned her: "From now until the matter is completed, your name is Yang Miao, it is my second sister, you remember it." ”
Star fruit nodded: "I know!" ”
"It's not that you know, it's that you can't even talk in your dreams, otherwise no one can save you. Luo Niang and I will also follow you to die. ”
When I entered the gate of the cottage, there were indeed several rounds of checks. Even if Yang Pan is the second leader, the star fruit was also tied up and taken to the lobby for trial.
"Your second sister?" The big boss sat on the big chair at the top, holding a flannel in his hand and lowering his head and seriously wiping the glittering broadsword. An occasional glance up at the star fruit is enough to make the tip of the star fruit's heart tremble.
Yang Pan hurriedly hugged his fists and replied: "Yes, my second sister Yang Miao." She and my third sister have always been on good terms, and when they heard that Qiao An and star fruit had an accident here, they secretly ran over to find someone. ”
The big boss hummed meaninglessly, and then wiped the blade seriously, and said nothing.
In this situation, not to mention star fruit, even Yang Pan began to beat the drum in his heart. The big boss has always been cautious and unforgiving, and at the critical moment of arresting Qiao An, he really didn't know how he would place star fruit.
Time passed little by little, the atmosphere became more and more tense, and Yang Pan and Carambola were sweating in their palms.
Just when the star fruit was about to despair, the big boss finally put down the knife in his hand, glanced at the star fruit casually and said, "Since you are here, let's stay." Food, clothing, housing and transportation, let Luo Niang arrange it for you. ”
The heart of the star fruit finally let go, she agreed obediently, and then followed Yang Pan to retreat.
"Star fruit!" When they were about to leave the main house, the big boss suddenly called out to her. What's worse is that the star fruit turned around reflexively, and shouted half of it.
