Chapter 422: Stepping Stones
He let go of Zhao Shan's shoulder, patted him, and then said with a smile: "I came to you today to let you play a play with me, which can not only make Brother Wang fully trust me and recognize my ability, but also dispel their doubts and facilitate our actions in the future." ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Shan suddenly remembered what the other party said when Chu Yu first arrived.
"Find a few trustworthy brothers, it doesn't matter if your martial arts are good or bad, cooperate with this king to perform this play." Chu Yu said again, "Zhao Shan, the most important thing for us at the moment is to dispel their doubts and make them think that the thieves have been eliminated by this king, so that you can make it easier for you to act, you know?" ”
Zhao Shan has been a thief for so many years, and he can still survive in Liquan Mountain, which is so close to the Canglan Capital, it is not a brainless fool, so as soon as Chu Yu said this, he immediately understood what the other party meant.
But......
"Lord Wang, you want my brothers to accompany you in this scene, and without talking about the remuneration first, I will ask, what are you going to do with these brothers?" Zhao Shan is not stupid, he said: "In case the prince really does a fake play, then how can I explain to these brothers?" How do you explain to the rest of the brothers? ”
Although he is a thief, but the people underground call him boss, and he has to protect the lives of the people below.
Chu Yu had already dealt with this, he smiled slightly, and said: "You don't have to worry about this, since the king has ordered me to be in charge of this matter, I will naturally be able to speak about the follow-up disposition." Besides, even if someone does get in the way and takes the lives of your brothers, I have a way to get them back safe and sound. ”
"What the prince says counts?" Zhao Shan looked serious.
"That's nature, it's hard to chase a horse." Chu Yu hooked the corners of his lips, very confident.
If it is really as the other party said, then this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which can not only dispel their doubts and facilitate their follow-up, but also allow Chu Yu to completely separate himself from this matter, so that others will not be able to relate this matter to him.
In this way, his and Chu Yu's plans can also be smoother.
More importantly, Chu Yu can also guarantee the lives of his brothers.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shan nodded and said, "Okay!" Then do as the prince says, and I will inform the brethren that they may prepare as soon as possible. ”
"No need." Chu Yu suddenly stopped him and said with a smile: "My guards have already told them about this matter, at this time, they should have agreed, right?" ”
"What do you mean?" Zhao Shan turned around and tightened his eyebrows, "You haven't consulted with me yet, and you asked the guards to find them without my consent?" ”
Chu Yu raised his eyebrows, and said lightly: "Otherwise? Otherwise, if you don't agree, I still have a backhand, don't I? ”
After speaking, he didn't care how ugly Zhao Shan's face was, and said while walking out slowly: "But isn't it very good now?" You agreed, they agreed, and they were all happy. ”
Seeing Chu Yu walk out of the door of the house and slowly walk in the direction of the gate of the village, Zhao Shan, who was standing in place, picked up the machete in his hand and slashed at the table on the side, splitting the thick solid wood table in half.
Okay, you Chu Yu, you dare to play this trick in front of me!
Zhao Shan was furious, and he couldn't wait to rush over directly with a machete and slash at Chu Yu a few times, so that the other party could know how powerful he was! Don't dare to despise yourself anymore!
But this thought only flashed in Zhao Shan's mind, because he knew that his little skill was nothing to Chu Yu, and if he really annoyed him, he completely used the name of exterminating the bandits to level his own village in one fell swoop.
Never mind.
Zhao Shan put down the machete, found a chair at random and sat down, drooping his head, thinking: When this matter is over, and he has received the money and due treatment, then he will take his brothers to change the mountain, and will never stay in this Liquan Mountain!
At the same time, Chu Yu, who walked out of the village after meeting with the guards, was also thinking about this matter.
After learning that the thieves quickly agreed to this matter, Chu Yu pulled the corners of his mouth, looking like he was smiling, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, full of disdain and disdain.
"A rabble, this king will kill them all sooner or later, and not one will be left!" Chu Yu sat in the carriage and snorted coldly in a low voice.
When the guards on the side heard this, they couldn't help but wonder: "Lord Wang, they agreed very happily this time, why do you still have-"
"The reason why I agreed happily is just because I want to complete the agreement with this king as soon as possible and get their share of the reward as soon as possible." Chu Yu didn't pay attention to these people at all, even if he still had to rely on the help of these bandits for now.
As long as he ascends to that supreme position, the existence of these bandits will become a stain on him, and he must get rid of them all, leaving no one behind.
The guard looked at Chu Yu, whose face was becoming more and more hideous, and wanted to say something, but once he touched the other party's gaze, he couldn't help but swallow the words that came to his mouth, lowered his head and continued to be silent.
There was silence in the carriage, and only the wheels could be heard driving on the road.
This quiet didn't last long, though.
"Hurry up! This tree is delicate, if you kill it, then wait for the master to punish it! ”
"Little Ancestor! I've already driven fast enough for this car, and if you want to hurry, you and this tree will have to be planted! When the time comes, you will not be able to escape the punishment of your master! ”
"Hey, you two don't quarrel, you two are about to enter the city, let's think about that road first! If the street is too busy and someone touches the branches of this tree, then we will be in vain. ”
Listening to the continuous noise outside, occasionally mixed with a little laughter, Chu Yu couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's going on outside?" ”
The guards hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked in the direction where the sound was coming from.
A larger carriage was lifted from its roof, revealing a leafy tree with many red and green fruits hanging on it.
As the carriage staggered forward, the tree also swayed, so in addition to a few thick hemp ropes to hold the tree to the carriage, there were also a few young men sitting in the corner of the carriage holding onto it, for fear that the tree would be crooked to the side.
The sound of the chatter and discussion just now came from them.
While the guards were silently observing them, these people were still arguing, and the content was all about the tree, and listening to the contents, it seemed that they were going to send the tree to someone's house.
"What's going on?" Chu Yu asked again.
The guard stepped back and said with a smile: "There is a carriage behind us with a tree on it, and a few young people are holding it aside, it seems that they want to send the tree to the mansion of the family in the city, they were joking just now." ”
Chu Yu let out a "hmm", then closed his eyes, and frowned a little impatiently, "I'm annoyed." ”
"That..." The guard hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "I'll go out and tell them to shut up, so as not to disturb the peace of the prince." ”
So saying, the guard got up and went out.
But before he could lift the curtain of the carriage, Chu Yu stopped him, "Forget it, we will be in the city in a while, don't let others recognize it, forget it." ”
When the guard heard this, he had to come back and sit down again.
The two carriages entered the gate of Bei'an City one after the other, and they both walked to the remote and less crowded path, and the noisy and constant jokes always followed Chu Yu and his party, which made him very irritable.
The atmosphere in the carriage became more and more solemn, and the guards sat tremblingly on the side, their hearts tightened, and they did not dare to relax for a moment.
"Hey! Don't take the wrong turn! ”
The man's voice came from outside again, Chu Yu frowned, clenched his fists with some displeasure, and shouted in a low voice: "Stop!" ”
With Chu Yu's order, the carriage stopped abruptly, and the guard chuckled in his heart, seeing that Chu Yu was about to get out of the car, he didn't dare to say anything more at this time, so he had to follow the other party down.
The trail is remote and narrow, long enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass through. The carriage that was transporting trees was originally following behind Chu Yu's carriage, but now that he stopped the carriage, the carriage that was following them also had to stop.
The people in the carriage were about to complain, when they saw Chu Yu and a guard rushing over.
"Which house are you from?" Chu Yu shouted in displeasure, his face pale.
Several people who were squatting on the carriage also jumped down one by one, and walked in front of Chu Yu back and forth, these people all looked extremely young, and they all had a vigorous posture, and they walked very briskly, and they looked like people who practiced martial arts.
After realizing this situation, Chu Yu's face became even more ugly, and he kept staring at the young man standing at the front, his eyes were very unhappy.
Obviously, the person who was staring at Chu Yu also sensed the hostility of the other party, he frowned, and said, "May I ask what this son is doing?" Q: What do we do in which province? ”
"What do you care about this king!" Chu Yu became more and more impatient, and he shouted: "Hurry up!" Which house is it, so unruly! It's noisy all the way, trailing this king, what is the intention?! ”
In fact, he just hated the other party's noise, saying things like "following himself" and "what is his intention", but he just wanted to vent it with this excuse.
But those young people were not vegetarians either, and the leader snorted coldly, "Lord, are you so stingy?" We laugh and walk on the road, is it possible that we have also violated the law of the vicissitudes? It's funny! ”
It turned out that these people were sent by Lu Li to deliver trees to the county lord's mansion, and the one who spoke for the leader was the leader of the dark guard, Qi Ming.
If Chu Yu could speak well, this Qi Ming could still apologize to him in a good voice, but he didn't think about it, this Chu Yu was too arrogant, and he looked domineering, Qi Ming was angry for a while, so he unceremoniously went back.
