Chapter 64 Xin Zhuo and I are sworn enemies
"But..."
Xin Zhuo emphasized his tone, "I have conditions. I have always been a person who believes in promises. He is such a person, and I believe that all the gentlemen and young ladies with outstanding martial arts skills and noble family backgrounds must be the same.
You heard about the promise signed by Chen Jing and the others with me. Is there an agreement? What do you think it is? Strange? Weird?
In fact, it was just a way to let Miss Su go. Even if you take advantage of me, I, a little bandit, can’t fight you to the death. I shed tears at night when I felt wronged. Who can understand the pain in my heart?”
His eyes turned red as he spoke.
"Ugh..." Xiao Huang beside him also drooped his head and drooped his ears, with a look of grievance on his face, which almost made Xin Zhuo tensed up.
The credibility is suddenly high!
Chen Guiyan hugged the child with difficulty, and thought for a moment: "What Master Xin said... does make some sense, so if there are any conditions, you might as well say it directly."
"I have no problem letting you go, but I'm afraid that like Chen Jing and the others, you have to give me the most valuable thing in your life and guarantee it to me. Isn't this reasonable?
It’s not that I don’t believe you, I just think the spirit of the contract is more appropriate. Is this wrong? This is absolutely true! "
Everyone was silent, mainly because Xin Zhuo's words were a bit convoluted and needed to be digested.
Thinking about it carefully, Xin Zhuo is really not a murderous person, although he was injured a lot. Although she is a small person, she has not killed anyone, and a beautiful woman like Miss Su has not suffered any harm.
Compared with Sun Wuyi, she is a real person.
In other words,
< br>
Everyone present was not afraid of death. It would be a blessing to sign some damn contract with this little thief and leave unscathed.
As long as a person is alive, there are infinite possibilities.
After the final inner struggle, a group of people agreed without hesitation: "Okay! No problem!"
"Excellent! You are indeed heroes and admirable!"
Xin Zhuo smiled happily.
Xiao Huang next to him was also jumping up and down with a proud look on his face.
Everyone had no choice but to laugh along.
The picture suddenly became harmonious.
In order to show that he indeed had this quirk, Xin Zhuo took out three incense sticks from the Tiger Village to worship the gods from his pocket, lit it with a torch, and bowed three times to the air:
" I burn incense to worship the gods, but I cannot reconcile my feelings. Now I am reconciled with all the gentlemen and ladies, and we will not infringe on each other, and we will do what we say!”
Yuan Yourong and Murong Lei watched blankly, feeling extremely ridiculous.
This Xin Zhuo... actually believed in the promise to the point of being so obsessed!
How many trustworthy people in the world are treacherous and sycophantic?
Could it be that Xin Zhuo is really a loyal young man?
The remaining doubt in my heart suddenly disappeared.
This kid...maybe has a good nature.
Xin Zhuo has turned around, with a pair of convincing dimples on his cheeks, and waved his hand: "Come on, let me give you some water for you gentlemen and ladies first, and see how thirsty you are. Renyi, and that... pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"
"Okay, Master!"
Huang Dagui and Han Jiulang were waiting outside and brought in a bucket of water.
It's okay not to mention water. When they saw the water, not only Yuan Yourong and others were thirsty, but Chen Guiyan and others who had sucked a belly of wrong muscles and cartilage powder were also thirsty.
So each person had a bowl and drank it all, but there was no taste at all.
Afterwards, it was very important to untie everyone's arms and sign the most important things in their lives. Xin Zhuo needed to look at them one by one to prevent them from fishing in troubled waters.
Wang Yuejing does not recognize such things as guaranteeing my personality and integrity.
Looking at Wangyue Well after it was over, the spirit of this contract was indeed mysterious. Once they drank the water from the well and signed what they owed them, it was important and accounted for half of their lives, and it would take effect immediately.
There are currently 13 people offering sacrifices to the spirits in the well, with only two vacancies left. There are more than 30 people on the other side, which is obviously not enough, so we can only continue to replace and share them. While he was thinking about it, Murong Lei suddenly asked: "Since the promise has been signed, can we let us go?"
Xin Zhuo shook his head: "With your current physical condition, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go back. It will take a few more days. That's it for the time being. I will send someone to serve you with good food and drink every day. Give it to me In a few days, I will let you leave completely, believe me."
Murong Lei and others looked at each other, and Yuan Yourong said: "Then at least one person must be sent back to report that everything is safe. Don't worry, Master Xin, there is a fierce battle outside the city, and we are in your hands, so we will not threaten you."
Xin Zhuo was silent for a moment. Logically speaking, he must not be released, but... ...His mind suddenly came alive again. The heads of the four major families were away, and who knew who would come. Could he take the opportunity to blackmail him again?
After all, I have tasted the blood-sucking promotion power, which is like poison, making it difficult not to think about it.
Anyway, the news that these people have been captured will spread back to the city sooner or later. Even after they are released, there will still be the conflicts that should exist. Why can't I let the storm come more violently? Anyway, the highest level is six, can you kill me instantly?
If that didn't work, I took my bandit subordinates and jumped into the river from the back mountain to run away.
“Okay!”
……
Fufeng City.
The battle outside the city and the bandit suppression in Fulong Mountain did not affect the prosperity of the frontier within the city.
The streets are full of people, customers are lingering in shops, and street vendors are shouting one after another.
There are also some Dongyi traveling merchants who have brought fine mutton-fat jade, purple-blood spiritual stones and fine furs to sell along the streets.
But the most exciting thing these days is of course the two poems in Zuixinlou and the kidnapping of the oiran by the poet's author. This is simply a long-lasting after-dinner topic.
In addition to this, there are the bets made by the four masters to capture the thief king Xin Zhuo. It can be said that the whole people participate. The rich place bets of 1,800 taels, and the poor ones have three copper coins and two coins. Two pieces of silver are also collected.
And as time goes by, the truth is about to come to light, and the betting trend is unprecedented.
The Ruyi Gambling House on West Street is crowded with people, and the bets have grown from taels of silver to three pounds of wheat, four pounds of wild apples, and even more outrageous, some are betting on their wives and children.
Betting on this kind of thing is really scary!
"Young Master Jiang bet another five thousand taels. The total of the two gambling houses is twenty thousand taels, right? Is this all Mr. Jiang's current net worth?"
Jiang Hezhu and other young masters, Shaking the folding fan gently to squeeze out the crowd, the fat young man said with envy: "I'm afraid I'm going to make a lot of money!"
"I dare not take it!" Jiang Hezhu said leisurely and contentedly, "In addition to being obsessed with martial arts, I also have some fun in gambling."
"May I ask Mr. Jiang why he is so sure that the Song family and the Chen family will win?" The fat young man was very confused.
"Good question!" Jiang Hezhu said with a smile: "I visited and investigated this matter, and through my connections, I made friends with Capt. Understand, this is one of them
Secondly, parallel analysis, the eldest son Murong is a member of his own family after all, and the Murong family will definitely commit suicide, while the Yuan family will definitely commit suicide. The leader is a young woman, and she may be motivated. If these two are eliminated, the Chen family and the Song family will naturally have a higher winning rate."
"Craft!" The fat young man laughed, and then said in confusion. : "By the way, the man named Shangguan Fan Qing is said to have detained Xin Zhuo to kill the four families with 30,000 taels. What is his confidence?"
"Nonsense!" Jiang Hezhu said with disdain. "Since ancient times, one has to analyze the winning rate before placing a bet, so that he can make a sure profit without losing any money. Even though the bandit Xin Zhuo has some abilities, he cannot win due to his absolute strength. In front of me, I am still a little bit conceited. As a qualified gambler, I cannot bet on low probabilities. This is stupid behavior. This Shangguan Xiongtai is afraid that Is it..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from the city gate, and a disgraced and tattered knight almost yelled with all his strength: "The four major families. The master was captured alive by the thief king Xin Zhuo, and the whole army was wiped out. Please rescue him..."
After saying that, he fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
There was silence in all directions.
Jiang Hezhu felt his eyes go dark and stumbled out.
"Mr. Jiang, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
"I have something! Ah, ah, these 20,000 taels are from my father who asked me to go to Bazhou to buy rouge and gouache for my aunts after the appointment at the Qiu Palace. Yes, Xin Zhuo, the dog thief, and I are inseparable!”
