Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Fourth: Keep the money or keep the life
The knives of time have flattened the corners on his face. The high bridge of his nose and the deep eyes under his thick eyebrows give him a somewhat mature and steady demeanor at first glance.
In addition, the exposed skin has been burned under the scorching sun these days, and the fair skin has turned dark. The body, which is stronger and stronger than before, does not look like a disciple of a wealthy family, but more like someone who is running for life.
labor.
Ji Lian scanned each of their faces, and when his eyes met Qin Tian's, it was as if he was touched by electricity.
Ji Lian couldn't help but look at Qin Tian for a while, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart. He quickly searched through his mind to see if he had seen this face before, but this face did not leave a trace in his mind.
Just when Ji Lian was confused, Captain Wu endured the sense of oppression he brought and said, "I wonder how you can let us go? There are brothers under my command, both old and young. Please be kind to me. I'm very grateful."
!”
The second-in-command of the Cream Gang came forward with a 'bah' sound and said with a contemptuous smile, "Are you grateful that I can exchange for food?"
The second master held out two fingers and said, "You have only two options to choose from. One, keep your wealth, and two, keep your life!"
After listening to what the other party said, Captain Wu's facial muscles twitched a few times. It seemed that these people were interested in the medicinal materials they were escorting.
This batch of medicinal materials was worth a lot of money. If he lost it, he couldn't afford to sell them all, but if he tried hard, he wouldn't be sure he could take everyone away. Otherwise, his life and medicinal materials would have to be handed down here.
Captain Wu was in a dilemma for a while. Ah Qi muttered next to him, "Captain, let's fight them. The worst is possible. If this batch of medicinal materials is lost, the owner of the house won't be able to spare us."
"It's nonsense. Don't act recklessly. The opponent has more people than us, and the person who just spoke is not low in cultivation. If we really fight to the death, we may not be able to break the net." Captain Wu's face was sweating profusely and he was deeply wrinkled.
He frowned and whispered.
"Then what do you think we should do? Is it possible to hand over all the medicinal materials to them? This will bring huge losses to the Zhang family!" Although Ah Qi's cultivation level is only at the warrior level, he has never been afraid of anyone who is stronger than him.
A strong man, it was precisely because of his extraordinary courage that he was favored by the head of the Zhang family in Danping Town, and he has been serving as the deputy captain of the escort team.
"My patience has time. Whether you want to keep your wealth or your life is just a matter of your thoughts. If you don't make a decision, then I will help you choose." The aura on Ji Lian's body has strengthened a lot again, and he is a fifth-level martial artist.
The force of coercion was so powerful that even the captain of the third-level martial arts team could not withstand this invisible invasion and turned pale and sweated profusely!
Taking it out from his pocket, a bulging money bag appeared in the hand of the team leader. "Brother, there is some wine money here. I should give it as a meeting gift to the brothers. I hope you don't embarrass yourself again!"
After speaking, Captain Wu threw the money bag over, and the crisp sound of the gold ingots hitting each other was very pleasant.
Cream took the money bag, glanced at Captain Wu and chuckled twice, then weighed the money bag in his hands a few times. Under the gaze of everyone, Cream showed a disdainful expression on his face, and took it.
He threw the money bag to the ground.
Cream snorted and said, "It's okay to spend this little money on a beggar, but it's not that easy to prevaricate me!"
There are more than a dozen gold ingots in the purse, which were given by Captain Wu's family owner to pay for leaving the city. But now Guangming City no longer takes things by force as in the past, but only collects some symbolically to maintain the operation of the Tiandao Gang.
That's why there is such a large amount of money left.
"Don't go too far to bully others, the worst possible outcome is death!" Suddenly, Ah Qi couldn't help but pointed at Ji Lian and said angrily.
"Shut up." Captain Wu quickly turned around and scolded Ah Qi. Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that his side is weak, and he must bow his head when he should. Showing off his bravery for a moment will only lead to death.
Captain Wu was afraid that Ji Lian would be angry, so he quickly apologized, "My brother is short-tempered, please don't blame me."
Seeing that Ji Lian had no intention of getting angry, Captain Wu continued, "As long as you don't embarrass me, I will give you a generous gift next time you come."
"Do you think this is a sale? Can you buy on credit?" Ji Lian's tone was a little cold, and he said, "Weak people have no right to bargain. I will give you the last minute... to keep your wealth or your life?"
In an instant, the air was filled with the invisible smell of gunpowder, and the grappling hook of death seemed to be hanging over everyone's head, waiting to harvest their souls.
The atmosphere froze in the ice cellar for a moment, and the guards all focused their attention on Captain Wu. His decision was related to everyone's life and death.
"Captain, let's fight. No matter what, this batch of medicinal materials cannot fall into their hands." Ah Qi clenched her fists and frowned, looking at Captain Wu who didn't know how to make a decision.
After a long time, Captain Wu looked at Ah Qi with a serious face and said, "I will stop them. You can run as fast as you can with your brothers and medicinal materials. No matter what happens, don't look back."
"You, you want to stay alone and die?" Ah Qi looked at the former with wide eyes, shook his head and said very firmly, "No, Captain, Ah Qi is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. We share life and death, even if we must die today.
, Ah Qi, I will accompany you on the road to hell!"
"Nonsense, I am the captain. My orders are equal to the orders of the family leader. It is better for one person to die than for everyone to die together. Don't forget, most of the brothers are older and younger. Their families are still looking forward to it.
When they go home, if they are gone, who will take care of their families? Don't forget, your mother still needs your care. If you are so impulsive, who will die for your mother a hundred years later?" Captain Wu's eyes were filled with confusion.
Moist and with red eyes, he said, "I am alone, and I finally have no worries before I leave. I leave these brothers and medicinal materials to you!"
Ah Qi looked at Captain Wu with a sigh of relief. His words touched Ah Qi's heart. He had been poor all his life and had only one old mother in his family. Usually, mother and son depended on each other.
Things have slowly gotten better since he joined the Zhang Family Guards. Now, if he unfortunately dies here, it will be equivalent to God having sentenced his mother to death.
As a filial son who was embarrassed, how could Ah Qi bear to make his old mother heartbroken and send the white-haired person to the black-haired person? This really struck a chord in Ah Qi's heart.
"Little brother, I'm really sorry that something like this happened and you were involved in it, but don't worry, you can just follow Brother Ah Qi for a while, and you don't need to worry about other things!" Captain Wu also didn't forget that there were other things during the crisis.
Qin Tian then warned them.
Bad thing: Recently, my friends and relatives have been trying to persuade me not to waste time on writing online articles. I can’t make much money and I have to spend all my time and brain coding. After all this hard work, I only earn a few cents a day. Of course, there are also a lot.
People are looking at the joke, but actually what I want to say is that gold will always shine one day. If it cannot shine, it is just that it has not been discovered yet. There are many words of encouragement in the article. In fact, this is also a support and encouragement for myself.
, keep at it, there will always be a day of hope. Let whoever laughs laugh, I will go my own way. Finally, I will offer a poem to encourage myself, and at the same time, I hope that the confused brothers can believe that their lives are extraordinary.

[Don’t laugh at the shallow dragon being teased by the shrimp, the phoenix will have its nirvana and rebirth day, the ups and downs of the spring and autumn will be determined for decades, it is unknown whose family the flowers will fall on, and in the thirty years the river will go east and west, don’t bully the young and the poor!]
