Chapter 627 Southbound (twenty-four)
"Teacher Xie is very capable. If he had changed to such a small fool, he would have been unable to walk for less than three or two months after these military sticks. You are still able to walk as fast as you fly. You are the number one hero in the world!" Li Caosao did not show surprise when he saw Xie Jiao rolling over. Instead, he went forward to salute and smile, looking very familiar with Xie Jiao.
Li Caosao doesn't have much ability, but she can survive under the circumference of the Xie family. It depends on her own mouth. The so-called "a hero comes from her mouth, and a good horse comes from her legs." Li Caosao doesn't even know that she has never read books and is even more illiterate, but she has also developed an extraordinary mind and a greasy mouth. Although she can't enter the elegant hall, it is enough to use it to perfunctory these military men.
But no matter how well he could speak, he could not change his destiny. After all, this group of people was a private soldier of the Xie family. No matter what he did, he had to obey the orders of the Xie family. No matter how familiar he was with the military man, those people would not be lenient when they were beheaded.
Originally, he thought of running away after he had divided the money or simply stealing some silk to escape, which would be better than staying to be a scapegoat. Unexpectedly, the news that Chen Guang led his troops to make the entire Parrot Island look very cautious, and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to. Li Caosao had planned many times, but no matter how he looked at it, he would definitely die. It was not until Xie Jiao appeared that he saw a glimmer of hope.
Xie Jiao has a low status in the army, but has a deep experience, so he is considered a figure of Xie Yongzhi's father. This person was the first to take the initiative to win over Li Caosao, which obviously had a deep meaning behind it. After a few words, Li Caosao concluded that Xie Jiao was just a first-class bird, and there were a large number of leaders behind him to support him. It is precisely because of this that he had the courage to make friends with him and discuss how to make a fuss. It is also because of the power of those people that Xie Jiao dared to play tricks in front of Xie Yongzhi, and even beat military sticks to make a fool of himself.
Hearing Li Caosa's praise, Xie Jiao shook his head and said, "Your grandpa is not the unsavory poor man outside. Put away all these bird words. Xie Yongzhi's eyes do not rub the sand. Even if those who are executed are their own brothers, their subordinates dare not show mercy. No matter how high they are, they have to be ruthless, otherwise how can they deceive him? Finally, my brothers have accurate ideas, otherwise I will not be able to go anywhere in the past few months, and I am afraid that I will really lose my life. Don't praise me as a good man. Since ancient times, there have been no heroes who are afraid of death? I admit that I am a coward, I just want to live comfortably and don't want to die for the head of the family. If you can help me, you will naturally have your own benefits. If you can't help me, you will know the consequences."
Li Caosao still smiled: "If you can help, you will definitely help. After all, the young man has been in the world and knows how to do business without capital. He is not bragging with the leader. When it comes to martial arts, the young man cannot make any move. But when it comes to how to be a robber, Xie Da is not as good as someone. As long as we have wealth in our hands, we will not worry about not being able to find a helper. We don't need so many people, let alone this big ship. With a few small boats, thirty or fifty brothers, it is enough to be the king of grass heads, with wine and meat every meal, and we don't have to worry about doing this life-threatening thing every day!"
Xie Jiao also agreed with this: "Yes, I just don't want to be killed anymore! If you have a knife in your hand, you should drink and eat meat. If you work hard for a wealthy family, you should eat and drink better than others. But look, what life are you living now? People are not like humans and ghosts, and you don't look like ghosts. You have to take most of the money you earn from your life to the master. How can you do this? Now, I first offended the Duke of Tang and then caused the Flying Fairy. I don't know what kind of disaster they will cause! Grandpa's life cannot be sent away in a daze. This time I have to find a way out for myself!"
His eyes were fixed on Li Caosao, and his right hand was stroking the handle of the straight knife intentionally or unintentionally. Li Caosao still smiled, and his hands seemed to be gestured casually, but in fact he was away from the straight knife.
"This is natural. People must think more about themselves. They cannot sell their lives to others in a daze, right? Just rest assured, the small ones ensure that they keep their words in mind. As long as they have money, we can be free and easy. It is also a slow saying that it is the Flying Fairy. Even if the Duke of Tang personally leads his troops, there is no place to look for us. The world is in chaos these days, and it is not that easy to find someone! But the small ones have to say that Xie Da is very concerned about the wealth, and it is probably not so easy to succeed. Even if we succeed, we have no place to go on the water."
"You don't have to worry about this!" Xie Jiao waved his hand: "Don't blame someone for being unkind. In the past, this team was led by him, but now... it's not clear. The brothers have already agreed that if he takes us on the road of life, everyone will still let him be the leader. Otherwise... I will have to be sorry. But now I will go and get the goods first, and then talk about the others!"
Li Caojia knew that Xie Jiao's words were mostly lies. If he had really controlled the situation, he would lead the people and fire and Xie Yongzhi directly, so how could he need to get the wealth first? The more he did this, the more he proved that he was guilty. Although he had won a group of people before, as Xie Yi led his troops to pursue Xu Le and others, these people with dissatisfaction were suddenly without a leader. Xie Jiao's talent and prestige were not enough to make those people act according to his orders, so he could only take risks and get the wealth first. At that time, either he would buy his subordinates with wealth or directly take money to escape with money, it would be a solution.
He knew that he didn't say anything, but instead took the initiative to support Xie Jiao to walk to the warehouse where silk and tung oil were stored. The five-other boats were on the top and bottom of the bilge, and the goods and food were placed at the bottom of the bilge, so he needed a deck.
Apart from Li Caosao's companions, Xie Jiao only invited two personal soldiers and a small leader to join, and this was all the people. These people looked nervous, and Xie Jiao's arms were trembling slightly. Li Caosao pretended not to know, and secretly felt funny in his heart: they usually call themselves heroes, but now they will be scared like this if they take a few money, how much better they can be than themselves? These three people must be all the subordinates Xie Jiao can contact. If there were only these people, it would save them a lot of energy. I just don't know how much they could handle...
The important place where the goods are stored is naturally not unattended. Even though people are now tight, four soldiers with neatly tied bows and knives stand outside the warehouse. Two oil lamps are placed behind them to see the people coming from the opposite side. When they saw Xie Jiao and others coming over, the people immediately raised their weapons and asked, "Is there any military order?"
"Your mother's legs!" Xie Jiao cursed without hesitation: "You are crazy? Do you really want to follow Xie Da to the dark side? Don't think about it, even if you can kill this time, can you still have such good luck next time? I'll die sooner or later with him. It's better to live a few decent days while you're alive. In a word, give way or not? If you give way, the wealth will be worthy of the money. If you don't give way..."
Xie Jiao said that he had already pressed the handle of the knife, squatted down slightly, and made the move that he was about to launch a charge. Li Caosao and others also put their hands on the handle of the knife, while a personal soldier raised the bow in his hand. In terms of the number of people, their people were more than guards, and there were no other defenders on the fourth floor. Even if someone came down from above to reinforce, these defenders might not survive.
Several guards looked at each other, then looked at Xie Jiao in front of him, and slowly put down the weapons in his hand. The personal soldier in the lead said, "How can you move the knife? You are right, we have a share of the person we see. But the ugly words are ahead, and at this time, we don't care about who is the leader, and can only share the money according to the head. If anyone dares to take a little more, don't blame the brothers for not accepting others under the knife!"
As the few people spoke, Xie Jiao rushed to the front indifferently, pushed open the hatch door and rushed in, and the others then entered one after another. Although they didn't say much, who could feel at ease at this time?
In the past, when it was a military law, there was a rope that would be a traitor. Who would die immediately after arriving at the moment? Now that he was determined to be a thief, who would still follow those rules? In the past, the rules that restricted these divisions and also supported the existence of this team are gradually disintegrating. The parties involved did not notice this change, but felt that the once intimate robes were now becoming unfamiliar and untrustworthy.
There are also four oil lamps in the cabin to provide lighting to clearly illuminate the situation in the cabin. The property in the room is piled up everywhere, including silk, tung oil, and some money that has been on the Parrot Island before. Although the total number is not too much, it is also a considerable number when it falls on a person's head. Everyone looked at the treasures in the room, and rushed over like a wolf or a tiger, and began to wrap around their bodies or put them in their bags regardless.
Xie Jiao did not rush towards the silk, but cut open the lock on the wooden box with one knife, lifted the lid, and reached in to grab it. There were some gold, silver ornaments and wine utensils. While he stuffed the ornaments into his arms, he muttered and cursed: "Xie Da, I'll join your eighteen generations of ancestors! The grandfather said he would divide these, and the lord wouldn't know. You were unwilling to do so, just like the money was yours, and he almost killed me for them! What was the result? Didn't it fall into the grandfather's hands in the end?"
Others were either snatching silk or looking for money, and everyone was thinking about how to grab more articles, but they didn't pay attention to it, and they slowly opened a wooden box and slowly emerged from the box.
The man was tall and strong, but his movements were as light as a cat and as agile as a fox. From unboxing to getting up, he did not make any sound. These people were fascinated by money, and no one cared about it.
The man reached out to close the open hatch door, and then slowly pulled out the straight knife from his waist. The oil light shone on the knife, and the cold light flashed. A subordinate of Li Caoshao's head accidentally raised his head and saw the sword light reflected on the bulkhead in front of him and the shadow of the knife holder. He subconsciously turned around, but as soon as he turned around, the man had already swung his sword!
Blood splatters!
Xu Le's handsome face was reflected by the dim light and the sharp blade, and was as ferocious as Shura. Looking at the dead bodies on the ground and the silk that was grabbed by Li Caoshao, there were a few blood-stained money rolling beside him. Xu Le smiled coldly, stepped on Xie Jiao's body, came to the can of tung oil, looked down at it, and took another piece of silk. He said to himself: "Idiot! The treasure is placed in front of you, but I can't tell the difference between the high and the low. With your vision, you still want to be a thief?"
While he was talking, he came to the front of the door and listened. After a while, a smile appeared on his face and then burst into laughter. While laughing, he took off an oil lamp, holding a silk in one hand and an oil lamp in the other, and walked towards the tung oil can. There were dozens of tung oil cans and a large amount of silk in front of him. For Xu Le, this was the most valuable asset tonight, and it was not easy to make money!
