Chapter 17 Fortune
The bamboo forest was rustling and the bamboo shadows were swaying. Xie Xuan leaned on the bamboo pole and looked at the "suppression" operation in the village in the distance, and just raised his eyebrows indifferently.
Until his eyes moved to Tang Jiashan and Xu Shanshan.
No, to be precise, his attention was focused more on Xu Shanshan. He saw that she decisively eliminated Luo Yi. The method used was not a traditional sharp weapon, but a simple yellow talisman. .
“Is this the expert that the Liu family hired, Xu Shanshan?”
This name sounded somewhat impressive, but I couldn't remember where I had heard it before.
Someone answered below: "We originally arranged for Luo Yi to trick Tang Jiashan out, but we didn't want to add her. She... killed Luo Yi easily!"
The last sentence, Anger mixed with surprise.
Although Luo Yi is not a top figure in the killer world, he is also a famous killer for a long time, but he was killed by one move. It is really incredible.
"Using talisman paper, it seems that he is a master of magic. Are you right? Seven kills."
A man in yellow cassock brushed aside the bamboo leaves, stood on tiptoes on the slender bamboo handles, and landed behind Xie Xuan as if he were nothing.
“I’ve met Mr. Xie.”
Xie Xuan said lazily: “Your brother must have been severely injured by her. What chance do you have of winning against her?”
Qisha glanced coldly: "Ten percent."
"Hahahaha... When I slaughter the city, then you can take off her head from her neck and give it to me. ”
While they were plotting and talking in the dark, Xu Shanshan slightly raised his eyes and glanced at their location accurately.
"What are you looking at?"
Jiashan followed her line of sight and saw only a forest of wild thorns and bamboos, but he sensed a strong gloomy aura in that direction.
“I often hear a saying that says the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind it. Then the oriole must be the ultimate winner? Will there be a giant monster waiting behind it?”
< br>Jiashan didn't know why she suddenly had such doubts, but since he decided to help her become a good person, he would not miss any opportunity to correct her distorted views.
"The original meaning of this sentence is that you are scheming against others, only coveting immediate benefits, but you don't know that someone is scheming against them. Your idea is not wrong. By analogy, people should not be short-sighted, only focus on interests, and have evil thoughts, otherwise they themselves will also Become someone else's cicada."
Xu Shanshan turned his eyes and smiled: "I will not be a cicada, nor will I be an oriole."
"But how do you know? "Jiashan asked her.
She just smiled and asked instead: "Do you know what people long for most when they are desperate?"
Jiashan didn't understand her intention and didn't reply. Just looked at her quietly.
Xu Shanshan also looked back at him calmly: "If you are a weak person, you must place your hope in miracles, and if you are unwilling, you are longing for the power to reverse your destiny, and I... am the one who gives others these two things. "
Jiashan's expression was at a loss for words: "You must be..."
You think too highly of yourself, or are you arrogant?
Xu Shanshan said softly: "Jiashan, you don't understand the meaning of this sentence now, but you will understand it in a short time."
Leave this sentence for Jiashan to learn more about. After saying that, Xu Shanshan walked up to the officers and soldiers who had finished slaughtering the thugs: "Cut off the heads and bring them back to the city."
"Yes."
Jiashan was about to open his mouth when he saw that she would even trample the corpse before giving up...
But Xu Shanshan had anticipated his thoughts, and she asked him: " Do you still remember the story I told Cheng Ling and the others that day at the Cheng Ling Mansion? "
Of course Jiashan remembers it.
"If today's kindness will be the consequences of tomorrow, what choice will you make, a good person? How will you choose between the lives of this group of gangsters and the lives of innocent people in a city?"
"Human life should not be chosen so simply, nor should it be decided by right or wrong." He was unmoved.
He has a strong heart and will not be easily misled into a dead end by her words. There is always a solution to everything, rather than black and white, right or wrong.
"Then their lives should have some value after all." Xu Shanshan stared at him: "If you don't want to cause more killings, then I will follow your wishes and carry these heads all the way back to the city to intimidate , This is a perfect warning to the rebels. As long as they stay in peace and stop causing chaos, I will obey you and stop killing them."
"In this way, good people can do it. Satisfied?”
If he is serious about her, then she should reciprocate his love.
She was telling him that as long as he didn't give up on her, she would work hard to change in the direction he wanted.
Jiashan was mute, looking at her straight back as she led her troops away, dumbfounded and speechless.
What is this?
Slap him, give him a sweet date, and hang him all the time?
——
There are currently two crises in Jiangling City.
First, thugs with ulterior motives were hiding among the hungry people, intending to take advantage of the court's inaction to incite the hungry people to riot together.
Second, food prices have skyrocketed, disaster relief food is extremely scarce, and the hungry people can no longer live without food.
The first crisis has been solved by Xu Shanshan in a drastic manner, with such ruthlessness and decisiveness that even the city commander was frightened when he heard this.
Especially after hearing that she ordered his soldiers to carry the thug's head all the way into the city, he was even more shocked.
But the results are great and the result is perfect, but the process... is a little bloody.
The second crisis soon ushered in a turn for the better. The city commander received a piece of great news that day.
"Major General Huo, Huo is coming to Jiangling City! He wrote back and said that he was very concerned about the disaster in Jiangling. He also brought a handwritten letter from the Gyeonggi Water Transport Envoy to assist the official in opening the granary!"
When the city magistrate received the letter, he was so happy that he almost danced.
Xu Shanshan was not surprised. She smiled and said: "Congratulations to the city."
"Master Xu, will you go with me to greet General Huo in a few days? Don't you little ladies all like him? This kind of handsome general who protects the country and the family? I will take you to see his style."
Xu Shanshan didn't say whether he was good or bad. She just asked suddenly: "Cheng Ling, you. What do you think of the rebels? "
The city magistrate asked: "What do you think of people with no ambition?"
"In this case, if Even if someone holds a sword to your neck, you will still insist on the justice in your heart and will not succumb to evil forces, right?”
He puffed up his chest proudly: "Of course."
At this time, Xu Shanshan's pupils had a hint of depth that the city commander couldn't understand: "Really? But I can't say for sure, so why not try it for yourself?" "Try?"
"Try?" He looked confused.
“The time has come to test whether you are a loyal minister or a weakling.”
She opened the window with a wave of her sleeves. The city commander took advantage of the situation and looked outside, only to see a person falling in the courtyard. The corpses on the ground were all his bodyguards.
He was completely stunned.
"What, what's going on? Who dares to come to the city magistrate's house to kill people?"
"Go upstairs."
Xu Shanshan leads the panicked city magistrate Arriving at the second floor of the City Palace, looking from a high place, I could see the eaves, under the tree canopies, the lawns, and the walls... I don’t know when the entire City Palace was surrounded by unknown forces.
Until a man rode a tall dark horse and stepped into the city magistrate's palace openly.
He was unscrupulous, even extremely arrogant, and pulled off the hood on his head.
Standing against the light, he is slender and sharp, and the darkness exudes a creepy and dangerous atmosphere.
“It’s so annoying~ It’s obvious that all I need to do is die obediently, but I’m still struggling to my death. I have to come here personally to slaughter an entire city.”
