Chapter 321: Say something good for me
As soon as he entered the room, he gave Xiong Jiushan a list of bandits, which startled Xiong Jiushan, who was sitting behind the desk, so much so that he stood up suddenly. He picked up the list and walked out to invite "Master Guanghan" to sit in the main hall for a detailed discussion.
"Someone, come! Serve tea! Go get Xie Yuchuan!"
Han Qiguang was holding the teacup and drinking halfway when he saw his good brother Xie Yuchuan, who was a telepath, striding in with a look of surprise on his face.
Xie Yuchuan:?
Han Qiguang: Hey, brother, I'm back!
Han Qiguang, who "inquired" about the specific situation of Panlongling, successfully brought back first-hand information from the mountain.
Before Xie Yuchuan came, Xiong Jiushan had already flipped through the roster with a bad look on his face. When Xie Yuchuan arrived, he directly threw the roster to him for him to review.
Xie Yuchuan glanced at the Taoist priest with a long beard who looked calm and composed, sat down opposite him, and opened the roster.
Xiong Jiushan frowned and said, "There are already over a thousand bandits in Qinglong Village alone. The bandits from other mountain strongholds have gathered together and there are thousands of them. They are strong and powerful, extremely vicious and have no bottom line. What do you think our chances of winning are?"
Xie Yuchuan didn't answer. Instead, he looked up at him and asked, "Sir, are you thinking of quitting?"
Xiong Jiushan sneered, staring at him and said, "Although I am not a hero, I am not someone who goes back on my word. Since I have promised you, I have no regrets. I just want to ask you, in this situation, do you still think that defeating the enemy with fewer troops is a chance of success?"
Xie Yuchuan quickly flipped through the roster and placed it on a high table beside him.
"Just a few thousand rabble."
Xiong Jiushan's face was gloomy.
You can really brag.
Across from him, Han Qiguang could barely conceal the teasing in his eyes. He sniffed to hide his smirk, and glanced at Xiong Jiushan who was sitting above him.
Mr. Xiong, who is always serious in his dealings with others, probably has never seen someone's other side.
"After all, I have the protection of my family god."
"Ahem - hmm!" Taoist Guanghan, who almost burst out laughing, immediately frowned, turned around to serve tea and drink it, hiding the expression that wanted to use the taunting skill.
This bastard just wants to make me fail in front of Xiong Jiushan!!!
Xie Yuchuan straightened his upper body and looked at the opposite side with calm eyes.
Xiong Jiushan felt that Xie Yuchuan was quite hostile to Taoist Guanghan today, so he frowned and reminded him, "Taoist Qi is willing to help. We need you to lead the way up the mountain."
In a word, "Han Qiguang" was also dragged into the cooperation between the two.
Xie Yuchuan turned his head to look at Xiong Jiushan, then turned his head to look at the opposite side in surprise, somewhat puzzled. What method did Han Qiguang use this time to make Xiong Jiushan, who always acted cautiously, accept him so readily?
Han Qiguang took advantage of Xiong Jiushan's inattention and raised his eyebrows at his brother.
That expression really deserves a beating.
Before entering the city, Han Qiguang not only brought back such important news, but also brought a cart full of goodies. He looked like he was willing to run around for Xiong Jiushan, which made Xie Yuchuan feel like there were thorns in his eyes and he always wanted to rub them.
Three people walking together, each with their own thoughts.
Xiong Jiushan asked, "Master, are you still leaving?"
"Han Qiguang" said: "I will go into the city with you tomorrow."
"Okay."
Han Qiguang had his own resting place next door. The three of them discussed for a long time in the house. Han Qiguang explained the current situation in Yucheng in detail, and Xiong Jiushan had a rough idea of it.
The suppression of bandits is a foregone conclusion.
Han Qiguang looked "surprised" when he heard this.
"My lord, are you really going to take the risk?" His face showed concern.
Xie Yuchuan watched his performance coldly, lowered his head and drank a sip of tea, feeling that his brother was now an expert in cheating and deceiving people.
Xiong Jiushan was silent.
Han Qiguang, the "Master Guanghan," looked at Xie Yuchuan and said, "I've heard that the Xie family's deity is very powerful. I've returned with a small gift, hoping to seek divination from the deity. I wonder if General Xie would be willing to speak to the deity for your safety on this journey?"
So the Taoist priest returned with a cart for this? Xiong Jiushan was slightly surprised.
The desire to surrender is a bit too much.
Xie Yuchuan reminded someone with his eyes.
Someone's eyes were bright and he looked calm.
Hey, this is the abnormality we want.
Han Qiguang thought to himself, if I am too normal, Xiong Jiushan might not believe me.
Xie Yuchuan was unsure for a moment. Why did Han Qiguang come here suddenly this time?
According to the last discussion between the two, Han Qiguang should be in Yucheng to provide support.
But he has always acted like this, so Xie Yuchuan was not surprised. Since he came, he must have other intentions.
However, using Xiong Jiushan's name, he was asked to communicate with the gods.
He tried to please Xiong Jiushan and asked him to contact the family god. Someone had no idea what Han Qiguang was trying to do.
but……
Xie Yuchuan pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but I felt Xiong Jiushan breathe a sigh of relief and his shoulders relaxed a little.
Xie Yuchuan left on the pretext that he needed to prepare some things before offering sacrifices to the gods.
After he left, Han Qiguang frankly advised Xiong Jiushan, "Sir, the bandits are numerous and ruthless. Are you just going to agree to join Xie Yuchuan in suppressing them? This is too dangerous and troublesome. You should think twice!"
"Do you have any idea of what the Xie family's gods are like?"
Xiong Jiushan said: "It is indeed effective."
Han Qiguang stroked his fake beard and tutted his tongue. "Sir, I'm not saying anything behind your back. When it comes to ghosts and gods, we've only ever heard their voices but never seen them. How can we tell the real from the fake? Furthermore, when it comes to killing, the gods won't get close. Xie Yuchuan keeps saying that his family gods are protecting him. In my opinion, is he trying to borrow your help to do what's best for him?"
"That's all that's done."
Han Qiguang observed the expression on his face and found that these were indeed what Xiong Jiushan said honestly.
I couldn't help but look up to him in my heart.
Quite determined.
He took two sips of tea, rested for a while, and then took credit for it: "Don't worry, sir. I have some knowledge of Taoism and the art of communicating with gods. I will join Xie Yuchuan in offering sacrifices and help you reach the heavens and pray for peace."
Xiong Jiushan knew his good intentions and said, "Thank you, Taoist Priest."
To be honest, with a master of Xuanmen by his side, Xiong Jiushan was a little less afraid of the Xie family's gods.
Han Qiguang waited with a clear conscience for Xie Yuchuan to be ready.
Half an hour later, Xiong Jiushan deliberately sent people away from the place where the fugitives were camping, found a secluded place, and ordered his men to carry out the long table from the house and place it between the sky and the earth.
After some decoration, Han Qiguang moved the things he pulled from the car onto the altar one by one.
Xie Yuchuan stood aside, watching him busying around with cold eyes.
Xiong Jiushan originally thought that he was just saying it casually, but he didn't expect that Taoist Guanghan had prepared so much, with incense, candles, offerings, and all kinds of valuable gifts filling the entire altar.
The rituals for worshiping gods are extremely complicated and solemn.
Xiong Jiushan couldn't help but think of the rituals of worshiping gods that Xie Yuchuan had performed in the Songjiang government office, and then compared it with the scene that Han Qiguang had created.
simply……
A world of difference.
Finished a busy day.
Han Qiguang asked Xie Yuchuan to come forward, and the two stood side by side, some distance away from Xiong Jiushan, just enough for them to have a private chat between brothers.
Han Qiguang whispered softly, "I have found some good things for the household gods. I pray that the gods will bless you, Xie Yuheng, to have a great victory. When you pray and offer sacrifices later, don't forget to say good things about me, Han Qiguang! Please mention my great name more!"
Xie Yuchuan was speechless.
"The drunkard's interest is not in the wine."
