"Is there anyone as handsome as Master?" Xue Lengxiang said sourly.
Xia Shang smiled and shook his head: "Then I guess you won't be able to get married in your lifetime!"
"Smelly!" Xue Lengxiang made a vomiting gesture, showing a rare trace of a little girl's appearance. After speaking, she whispered in a low voice, "I won't marry if I can't get married."
The words came out of his mouth, but after he said them, he felt a little shy. He glanced at the master guiltily, only to find that the master's mind was not on him at all, and he turned to look outside the tent.
This scene is somewhat embarrassing.
Xue Lengxiang's face turned red, but she didn't dare to say anything. She could only pretend to look outside curiously and ask: "Master, what are you looking at?"
Xia Shang didn't answer, and whispered to the outside: "Hey, it's idle anyway, we are all citizens of Dahua, why don't we sit down and talk?"
The two guards outside were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, as if they were pretending not to hear, and neither said a word.
Xia Shang continued: "Hey, from what you said just now, you must not be doing well in the Japanese pirate team. There are no outsiders here, and there may be no one to chat with you. Why don't you talk about such a good opportunity?"
The two people at the door exchanged glances again. The man who had been talking to Xia Shang couldn't help it anymore and wanted to squat down.
His companions on one side grabbed him and whispered: "You don't want your life? Talk to them?"
"I'm afraid of birds. Anyway, if you don't pay attention here, you will die. What's the point of saying something at this time? It's rare to have someone who can understand Chinese, and it's even rarer to have someone who dares to listen to us. Why can't we speak?
"
After saying that, the man ignored everything and went directly into the tent, and said to the outside: "If you need anything, just say hello and I will come out immediately."
People outside complained and said, "I'm going to be killed by you."
The people inside didn't take it seriously, sat down in the tent, and raised their hands to Xia Shang and Xue Lengxiang: "Both of them are capable people. They can come in and stay in a swagger. It's really admirable. But I heard
You have negotiated a deal with the Japanese people, and they have promised you many benefits. I wonder what benefits would make you two take such a risk?"
"Of course there are benefits, but as for what they are, there are no
It’s convenient to reveal it, but since it allows us to take the risk, it must be worth it.”
"This... villain doesn't want to inquire about anything. I just want to remind you that the words of these Japanese people cannot be easily believed. They talk like farts. None of them are reliable. They only have interests in front of them.
, as long as there is profit to be gained, they don't care about anything at all, they have no shame, no humanity, and no morality."
"why would you say so?"
"Hmph! These bitches made good claims at the beginning, saying that as long as we help them they will give us various benefits. We were originally bandits and pirates from Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and Liangzhou.
, has been operating nearby for decades and has a total of 20,000 brothers."
"Twenty thousand? That much?"
The other party was quite proud: "No! However, there are 20,000 people who are either gathered in one place or scattered in various places. They have friendship and help each other. Otherwise, we would not be able to compete with the imperial troops in the territory of Dahua.
.I am not bragging. When we were at our peak, even if the Xuzhou navy came to attack us, we would not necessarily be our opponents. Later, some Japanese people contacted the leaders of our families and said that they had given us a lot of benefits and asked us to help the Japanese pirates attack the imperial court.
With our troops, once Xuzhou is occupied, what kind of dynasty can our leader establish here? He also needs to form an alliance with Japan and so on.
At first we were in high spirits, thinking that in the future we would all be the founding fathers, and no one would want to be a shameful thief, so we believed their lies. As it turned out, these Japanese people were very insidious, and the battle at the beginning was...
Let our people charge, and they take advantage of the situation behind them. They say that we want to establish a country, and of course we want to lead the charge. As a result, our leaders were all killed, and our brothers suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, the stubborn Japanese people came over to say good things, willing to incorporate our remnants, and continued to deceive us and give us benefits. Even at that time, many brothers had realized that the Japanese people were not trustworthy, but there was no way. If they were not
If they recruit us, it will be a dead end. We cooperated with the Japanese pirates at first, but now we have no control over everything."
"You deserve it!" Xue Lengxiang couldn't help but say.
Hearing such words, the bandit didn't care, but smiled to himself: "Haha... That's what I said, I will do nothing in my life."
We have done a lot of bad things, and it’s time for retribution. So we can’t blame anyone for our current situation, and I’m ready to die at any time.”
Xue Lengxiang didn't expect to get such a calm answer, which made her a little moved. She had always been indifferent to people, but after seeing the numbness shown by the bandit at this time, she actually felt a little bit sympathetic to him.
Xue Lengxiang gritted her teeth and said no more.
This bandit obviously has many stories to tell Xia and Shang. Although these stories are insignificant to Xia and Shang, listening quietly at this moment can be regarded as a kind of sympathy for his compatriots.
"Here, we are not considered humans at all, not even as good as dogs. They give us their leftovers to eat, and every day they select people from among us to be whipped for fun. Many people do nothing but are beaten.
They were beaten to death. Some were even killed and fed to dogs. I finally understood that in the eyes of the Japanese people, we Dahua people are just livestock, and they have no mercy for us. I have survived until now.
Very lucky..."
"Have you ever thought about running away?"
"Escape? Don't be stupid... This is their sentry tower, and we can't avoid all the informants. Once you escape and are caught, you will encounter tragic torture that you can't imagine. We have all seen it with our own eyes, then
Such a scene...I...forget it, let's not talk about it. In short, we are all scared, and the only way to survive is to obey. As long as we can absolutely obey their orders, life will be slightly easier."
Xia Shang frowned: "Then you are telling me this now so you are not afraid of being discovered by them?"
"So what if I find out? The worst case scenario is that I'll die!"
The other person spoke very calmly, and there seemed to be no fear in his eyes.
This numbness to death is heartbreaking, and one can imagine how many terrifying scenes he has experienced with his own eyes.
Xue Lengxiang whispered: "If you have a chance, maybe you can leave here with us! As long as you promise me never to do bad things in the future!"
It was a bit surprising to hear such words from Xue Lengxiang.
But the other party was still so numb and indifferent.
"Don't give me hope. I don't believe in hope anymore. Now being able to talk to you and say yes is the last luxury in my life."
