Two days later. Above Yongan Mountain...

"Third Manager, do you think those soldiers are telling the truth?" One of them hesitantly asked the rough man beside him.

"Yeah." Another person chimed in: "Third Manager, could it be that the imperial government is really here to subdue us this time?"

"If what that soldier said is true, we can disregard our previous mistakes. As long as we abandon the dark and come out into the light …"

"That's true …" Back then, I really believed that those dog officials would end up with a broken family. "

"Aren't I the same … However, right now, in the world … "We are always bandits. After all …"

"Alright, since we've already discussed this matter, it doesn't matter." The Third Manager finally opened his mouth and stopped everyone's discussion.

Soon after, the crowd dispersed, and the three leaders went to the other side.

No one noticed that three of the dispersed crowd had gone off on their own to the other side.

Needless to say, these three were Shi Qingzhou, Long Xiaoyuan, and the Liu An who knew how to disguise himself.

Liu An was considered half jianghu people, he had been rolling in the martial arts world, and was saved by Shi Qingshan when he was close to death in the face of his enemies. After that, Liu An followed Shi Qingshan and worked under him.

"Liu An, come and look around here to gather more information and listen to more. Let's see what kind of people these bandits are." Long Xiaoyuan said.

"Yes." Liu An answered, turned two rounds, and left.

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou looked at each other, and subconsciously looked towards the place where the Third Manager had disappeared.

Moreover, when he was dealing with the three of them, he had managed to force out some information from them, such as their names, the simple arrangements and even the basic situation. Otherwise, no matter how good the camouflage technique was, it would be easy for him to be exposed.

The two of them arrived at the door of a room. Seeing that no one was around, Shi Qingzhou decided to stand near the door. His internal energy was good, so he didn't need to have his ear pressed against the door to hear the conversation inside.

Long Xiaoyuan stood guard at the side.

"Big brother." "This is the voice of the Third Manager." "Right now, there are a few people on the mountain who are thinking about this. What do you think we should do?"

The boss didn't say anything, but the Lao Er did. The other party's voice was very rough.

"Big brother, I think those dog soldiers are here to cheat again!"

The Third Manager frowned. He hesitated for a moment before saying: "But, there are still a lot of people coming to the imperial court. If it's an official Great General, even if we rely on the terrain to our advantage, we might not be able to gain anything."

Seeing that the two were about to argue again, the Great Master finally opened his mouth. "Alright, stop being so noisy."

Lao Er frowned: "But big brother, you heard it too, Old Third has the intention of surrendering! Didn't we already agree? "They will absolutely not surrender. Even if they die, they will die together."

Hearing that, the boss finally couldn't help but say, "At that time, we only had a little more than 100 people, and they were all from the Lian Family. Naturally, it was nothing to die together, but now we have a total of 4000 people, and there are hundreds of young women. These people, do you want everyone to die together with us? "

Boss' words caused Lao Er to be unable to resist opening his mouth wide, and he stuttered: "But … "But …"

The eldest brother waved his hand tiredly. "Alright, let's leave this matter for now. I have to think about it carefully. You guys can leave first."

"But boss …"

"Okay, second brother." Old Third grabbed his elbow. Let's go out and let big brother rest in peace. "

The two of them opened the door and left, and the Lao Er shook off the Old Third's hand. "Hmph, I'll leave by myself."

Old Third sighed helplessly and left.

After a while, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou once again "inadvertently" passed by. After that, the two of them looked at each other and also left.

At night, Shi Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan slept in the same bed, and there were a lot of rooms on the mountain. Some people lived together with their family, while some people lived together with two or three men.

Shi Qingzhou and the person Long Xiaoyuan pretended to be lived in the same room, while Liu An lived next door.

Because they were in the same room, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou were naturally trapped in the same bed.

Long Xiaoyuan held onto Shi Qingzhou's waist and softly said: "Qingzhou, as you've said … The boss and the Old Third are both more rational in that sense, and are also thinking for the people on the mountain, so they don't want to continue being bandits? "

Shi Qingzhou replied with an "En" sound, "How many people are willing to do what kind of bandits can live under the sun? This is a matter with their heads hanging on their waist."

"Ugh …" That's true. " Long Xiaoyuan nodded as he pondered. If so... We can make a plan, and maybe, we can convince the two leaders inside. "

Shi Qingzhou was a little hesitant, "But if we fail, then we will be in danger …"

Long Xiaoyuan paused. "No worries, wealth comes from danger."

Shi Qingzhou frowned slightly. If he was alone, then he did not mind "seeking wealth from dangers". However, the identity of an emperor was extremely important, how could he take the risk?

Seeing that Shi Qingzhou was quiet, Long Xiaoyuan immediately understood. He thought for a while and said: "How about this, we will observe for two days. Before we carry out this plan, I will go down the mountain."

Shi Qingzhou heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. "Alright, since that's the case, leave the matter here to me. I definitely won't disappoint the emperor."

Long Xiaoyuan kissed Shi Qingzhou's forehead, "Mn, be careful."

For the next two days, Long Xiaoyuan, Shi Qingzhou and the others stayed on the mountain to watch and listen.

Using their own eyes, they concluded that they might all have been forced onto Liang Shan. However, there was also a portion of them who were not very good, and their hands were also stained with blood.

Originally, Long Xiaoyuan wanted to go down the mountain on his own, but no matter what, Shi Qingzhou would not agree to it. Long Xiaoyuan did not want to make things difficult for the other party at this time, and thus, any negotiations that he could carry out fell short.

That night, after Long Xiaoyuan and Liu An smoothly reached the foot of the mountain, Shi Qingzhou sneaked into the bandit boss's room …

That night, Long Xiaoyuan stood at the foot of the mountain and waited for Shi Qingzhou to come down.

The time he had to wait was hard. Facing the dark mountain, he clenched his fists. This feeling of not being able to protect the people he cared about was not good, even a little bad.

Until now, Long Xiaoyuan had clearly seen that he cared about Shi Qingzhou. This was true.

It was not because the other party was the main character, not because the other party could kill him to ascend the throne, not because of these benefits.

He cared about Shi Qingzhou because he treated him as his partner.

A companion … Not for profit, not for his own life, not for the book, just because of the word partner.
