Chapter 88 If an apology is useful,
Xue Ling quietly looked at Shang Jiuge in front of her and counted on her fingers.
Then he nodded: "Well, your calculation is correct."
"But how did the seventeen Yellow River thieves provoke you?"
"It's not like provocation." Shang Jiuge checked it again with his fingers: "Someone invited me to take a boat, and they came to charge me the boat fare." "
Originally, I only collected the boat fare and didn't care about it, but those people made me unhappy, so I came out to help the boat passengers pay the boat fare."
Shang Jiuge looked at Xue Ling, his dark eyes not wandering at all, just looking at him calmly: "But the boat passengers also made me unhappy. Obviously this is the so-called chivalry, but it is also meaningless." "
So. I asked those ship passengers to pay me the passage fee."
Xue Ling was startled when she heard this: "So, are you going to become a robber yourself next time?"
"There's no point in being a robber." Shang Jiu Ge shook his head: "I just asked them to raise enough money for me." "If
they raise enough money for me, I will reluctantly become the river god and make the Yellow River safe from now on."
Xue Ling understood now.
"Let me repeat it, do you think I am right?"
"You took a boat, and the Yellow River Seventeen Thieves came to rob you. You beat them away, and then you continued to collect the boat fare, and at the same time, you used the boat fee as payment. Come and deal with the seventeen Yellow River thieves, right?"
Xue Ling felt that her ability to grasp key points was much stronger now.
So Shang Jiuge thought about it and felt that Xue Ling was right, so he nodded.
Xue Ling looked at the girl's thin clothes and extremely simple luggage: "Where is the money?" "
Throw it into the river." Shang Jiuge replied without hesitation: "After all, it is necessary to worship the river god. He looked like he was offering sacrifices to the river god, but he put the money in his pocket while offering sacrifices to the river god. No matter how much he thought about it, he would not be happy."
Xue Ling nodded, feeling that she had met a strange man from the world for the first time.
The girl has been in the Jianghu for so long, and has seen all kinds of people in the Jianghu, but most of them have their own pursuits and desires. All living beings suffer. Even a once-first-class strong man like Liu Pingye is still trapped by love, so much so that he does There was a rebellion against the sect, and he teamed up with the demon sect to try to kill the eminent monk Kong Wu.
But only with this guy in front of her, what she calls walking in the world can almost really be called walking in the world.
Do whatever you want, feel free, of course, mainly because this guy's martial arts skills are so amazing.
"Okay." Xue Ling said helplessly: "Well, I happened to have some trouble with the Seventeen Bandits of the Yellow River. Since there are nine left, let's deal with these nine together." Saying this, Xue Ling looked
around Looking around, I saw that there was no one left in the camp of the Seventeen Bandits of the Yellow River.
Only the earthy yellow flag fluttered.
Although Shang Jiuge kicked open the door with lightning speed and went directly to the towers of the surrounding camps to deal with the gangsters who were sentry and shooting arrows, but as Shang Jiuge said, she has only knocked down nine Yellow River ten people in total so far. Seven thieves, so there must be at least five, six, seven or eight more in this camp. The girl's "Is there anyone there" when she entered the house before? As the unparalleled starting move, she has announced her arrival to everyone.
However, no one came to challenge this, which really made Xue Ling a little strange.
But Shang Jiuge didn't care about this at all. When she saw that no one came to practice with her anymore, she continued to move forward. As I said before, from the outside, this camp looked strict and well-structured. When I came in and took a look, it seemed that even though the sparrow was small, it had all the internal organs.
Maybe it's because there are really only 18 members of the Seventeen Bandits of the Yellow River, so this camp is not too big, but in addition to the high and fluttering flagpole, there are martial arts arena, livestock shed, gathering hall, and The small buildings, barns, kitchens and the like are all equipped with everything. It can be seen that the Seventeen Yellow River Bandits are not completely a mob. Judging from the fact that they no longer rob homes but choose to collect tolls from the merchants and ships along the way. They choose to fish in a long stream without draining the lake, and their leader is even more clever.
But even so, it cannot change the nature of them being a group of thugs and bandits. The so-called copycat gathering is still a tactic of taking advantage of the common people by force, so that even Jianghu organizations like the Beehive have never taken it seriously. Here, all it takes is a small Xuanzihao official mission to catch them all, take away all the property they have accumulated over the years, and even gain a good reputation for doing justice for heaven.
Thinking about it this way, it feels a little sad.
However, Xue Ling followed Shang Jiuge to investigate, but Shang Jiuge himself went directly to the tallest and most conspicuous building in the center of the camp, which was the Juyi Hall in the camp.
The door was ajar and unlocked.
"Be careful of fraud." Xue Ling warned from behind Shang Jiuge.
Shang Jiuge smiled and pushed the door open, but she did not expect that what she saw after pushing the door open made her stunned.
I saw three rows and three rows of nine big men, all kneeling on the ground with wattle sticks tied on their backs. They all looked at Shang Jiuge and shouted: "Please spare my life, heroine." Xue Ling followed Shang
Jiu Behind Ge, he also saw such a scene, and his whole body instantly became messy in the wind.
This style of painting is wrong.
Especially his two weak women and so on.
"What are you doing?" Shang Jiuge raised his eyebrows. Shang Jiuge was Shang Jiuge after all. After a brief surprise, he calmed down and said, "Surrender?" "The two heroines don't know something
. "The leader of the big man knelt on the ground, crying with snot and tears: "We turned into bandits because we had no choice but to do it. You have all heard the story of being forced into danger. If we were not really desperate, who would be willing to do it? This is a business with no capital."
"So what?" Shang Jiuge asked calmly: "Then the four heads on the flagpole outside the door came out of necessity?" "The
passing money each merchant paid was also "You don't have to do it out of necessity?"
"When you say it, it's out of necessity." "
But the so-called "emotion doesn't come out of necessity" means that you have to hurt others to do it." "
Then if an apology is useful, we still have to do it. What do you need a gallows for?"
The big man's head banged on the ground with a loud "bang bang bang" sound.
"We know that our sins are serious."
"I will never forgive my sin."
"But those four people took the initiative to come to the village to provoke us. We had no choice but to kill them. And on the water of the Yellow River, we drove away other people who were looking for money. The murderous gangster allows the merchants to leave safely without risking their lives as long as they pay enough shipping fees." "Which is the lesser of
two evils."
"Please tell me the lesson, two heroines!"
Shang Jiuge looked at them calmly, without any expression on his face.
But Xue Ling was a little confused by these words.
