"If you don't like it, you're going to eat me?"

"Let's drink first. The second leader said.

After three rounds of drinking, the thief said: "This time, if the pedestrian comes in person, he will be taught." This is not the first time you and I have met, please get straight to the point. ”

"Refreshing! I want you to shake hands with Ju. ”

The two thieves looked at each other and smiled.

The thief said: "The second brother has already guessed. I don't hide it, my village, unlike other mountain thieves, in addition to men, there are also old and young, women, more than 100 people, who were suppressed a few years ago, killed and injured twenty or thirty brothers, looking for brothers, crying for fathers and husbands, how can you not be heartbroken when you hear it?

"I heard that you have arrived at the Ju Clan, and my second brother and I have learned from the pain, and we have already planned to do so. But we don't dare to get our hopes up too much. My grudge with the Ju family is as deep as the sea, and I am afraid it will be difficult to untie this dead knot. ”

"I have said to the master of the village, if you promise, the ice will release the suspicion, and your village will return to the sentence, and from then on you will be at peace, and we will prosper together. ”

The second leader said: "If this is the case, it is the best. Still, I fear that he will retaliate when we are obedient. ”

"Don't worry. First, the two villages swore to the gods and ghosts, and made an alliance with blood; second, I played the king of Mingyi, so that the Ju clan treated each other sincerely; and third, I vouched for it with a head. ”

The thief leader said happily: "With your guarantee, I can rest assured." That's it!" the three of them drank a large bowl of wine.

Ruo Chunpei said: "I have something that I need to ask." ”

The thief said, "You're welcome. ”

"That yellow python, is it the assassin who assassinated Xiangyin?"

The second leader said: "When he first came, he said that people called him Huang Zhi, so I asked him if he was the assassin who killed Xiangyin, and he neither nodded nor shook his head. But he came to the pot ring about a month after Xiang Yin was stabbed in Liufangping. ”

Ruo Chunpei said: "That's right, it must be him." There's one more thing I don't know. ”

The thief said, "Please speak." ”

Chunpei smiled: "What kind of background are you?"

The thief drank a bottle of wine and said with a smile: "Brother, this is the second time you have asked each other. No notice. ”

Chunpei smiled: "The dragon can't see the head when he sees the tail!"

"After passing the award, I really have to suffer. Come on, drink!"

Chunpei said to the second leader again: "You can't also see the tail and not the head, right?"

The second leader said: "If the pedestrians don't see my true face? besides, how dare I compare with my eldest brother, I am a second-generation thief." ”

Chunpei said: "Why don't you talk about it?"

The second leader preached: His father was a small leader of the samurai in Yushui Salt Spring, and he escorted a boat of salt to the capital at one time, passing by the mouth of the Danfushui Daxi River, and was robbed by the thieves of Shuiba Mountain.

Although the salt was lost, his father and several other samurai who were not killed escaped with their lives.

Unexpectedly, when he returned to Yushui, Yan Qing was furious and arrested several of him and sentenced him to death.

During his father's execution, one of the executioners, because of his friendship with his father, sympathized with him, showed mercy to him, and did not hurt the vital point.

His father escaped with his life again, first hiding in the mountains, recuperating from his wounds, and suffering a lot; after his injuries were healed, he had nowhere to live, and he had no way out, so he threw himself into the pot ring and became a thief.

After hearing this, Ruo Chunpei sighed: "Although it is still the trouble caused by you thieves, a few lives are not worth a boat of salt, which is sad and sad! Now it's okay, return to Wanghua and get on the right path. ”

The two thieves stood up and thanked each other.

After the wine, he sent Ruo Chunpei to sleep, and the thief said: "Brother, I almost forgot, I have a big gift to give." ”

Chunpei said with a straight face: "I didn't come to persuade peace to receive gifts!"

The thief said with a smile: "My brother is naturally here for my life. That is why we must be grateful. He shouted to the outside world: "Come in with gifts!"

Ruo Chunpei saw that someone sent it in was a young woman, dressed up in a new way, with a bit of a look, and hurriedly said: "I can't accept this gift!"

The thief said: "Brother, don't worry, my sister is clean, I don't want to give my brother a night, but let her serve my brother." Hu'an Mountain is cold in winter, so let her lift her shoes to warm the bed. ”

"I don't take concubines. ”

The thief said: "Brother's words are wrong. I know that my brother and wife are harmonious, but if you don't accept a concubine, you don't want to be decent, and your brothers should be decent. Unless, you don't treat me as a brother and treat me like a thief!"

"The first time I saw you, I knew that you were different from the common thief, how could you not be a brother? ”

Then the young woman said, "What is your reason? If you don't dare to ask for it, you are hypocritical to me. Or, persuasion itself is also a plan. You look like a thin ghost, if it weren't for the respect of the eldest brother and the second brother, I wouldn't be too lazy to serve you!"

The thief laughed and said, "Yuan'er said it well, if you don't accept her, you will be deceitful to persuade peace!"

Ruo Chunpei is usually speechless, but at this time, he was speechless, and said with a smile: "I can't imagine that there is such a straightforward and hearted woman in the pot circle." Well, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate.

"From now on, I will also be the fast son-in-law of the pot ring! The mouth grows on others, if you want to say it, let it go. However, even if you are a concubine, you can't be rude, send it to Hu'an Mountain, I will set up a wine and treat you, and then you can collapse together. ”

The thief was overjoyed: "From now on, you and I will be brothers who can't get rid of it!"

If Chunpei is afraid of long nights and dreams, he will quickly return to Ju's village, inform the thief that he agrees to reconcile, and ask Ju Sizu to prepare sacrificial objects, and swear to the gods and ghosts the next day that the two families will be reconciled.

That night, Ruo Chunpei still lived in the pot ring, and the anti-theft was repeated.

At the appointed time, the Ju clan and the thief each brought more than a dozen people, led the tiger Ben, and set up a stage in Wangtianping.

The league returned to the village to celebrate. If Chunpei is the same as Huiju Zhai. The warriors of the Tu clan and the Fan clan knew that the two villages were reconciled, and each returned to their own village.

Before dispersing, Ruo Chunpei summoned the leaders of the three clans of Ju, Tu, and Fan, and told them to restrain the crowd and not to spread the news of Ju Chrysanthemum's murder to the battlefield in front of Bachu, so as not to disturb the morale of the army, especially the Tutian ruler and the warriors of the above three clans, all of whom have a special relationship with Ju Chrysanthemum.

The thief returned to the pot ring, gathered everyone, and announced that he would be included in the Ju clan from now on, and celebrate from the afternoon to the evening of the same day.

Since the pot ring has become a den of thieves, it has never been so grand, and everyone is drunk.

The next day, before dawn, the leader of the thieves found the second leader and said that it was a major and urgent matter.

As soon as the two leaders met, they exclaimed: "Big brother, last night was fine, what's the urgency?"
