Chapter 387: Being controlled by others
The three leaders originally thought that bringing out the Xichuan Army would make the people in front of them somewhat fearful.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinxuan didn't care at all, "Since you can't make up your mind, then ask He Wenjun to come and talk to me!"
It just so happened that he also wanted to meet the general of the Xichuan Army first.
When the three bosses heard this, they almost bit off their tongues.
Does he know what he is talking about?
The three of them had collected a lot of taxes for the Xichuan Army over the years, and they could only secretly visit General He's government office during the holidays to pay a visit.
How dare he, a gangster robbing other gangsters, ask a general to come and see him?
The second in command tactfully reminded him, "General He is very busy with official duties, so he probably doesn't have the time. This kind of thing is usually handled by his subordinate Commander Sun."
Xiao Jinxuan was calm and confident, "He will come."
Hasn’t this year’s tax been sent in yet?
Since he is in a hurry to get the money, just let him come and get it himself!
Such courage made the bosses secretly astonished.
But on second thought, if we didn't have the courage, how could a few people dare to run into the thieves' den and snatch food from their mouths?
Xie Zhuoning asked Song Yuqiu to take out a small porcelain bottle containing pills, looked at the heads of the household, and smiled slightly.
"We may have to disturb the Green Forest Alliance for a while, but to be honest, we don't trust the character of the leaders, so please take this Ghost Pill, so that we can rest assured."
The boss immediately became alert and said, "I won't eat it."
Guiyoudan, it sounds like a bad thing!
The second in command also smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will cooperate with you no matter what you do. We will never have any ulterior motives. You don't need the Ghost Pill, right?"
Xie Zhuo Ning smiled and explained, "Don't worry, my bosses. Although this is poison, there is an antidote. Take one antidote every three days, and you will be cured after ninety-nine days. If you really cooperate and don't do anything to us behind our backs, we will naturally not make things difficult for you."
Having said that, this would mean that they, the brothers, would always be controlled by others and would not dare to resist at all!
The eldest boss was filled with anger and was about to refuse when he was stopped by the second in command.
The second in command was more cautious and asked, "What will happen if we don't get the antidote in more than three days?"
Softly stroking his nails, Xie Zhuoning said slowly, "If you don't take the antidote for more than three days, your internal organs will start to rot until your whole body is like being stewed in a pot, and then you will die."
"And don't worry, we have the best doctors here. If you want to die after the poison takes effect, we will pull you back from the gates of hell and will never let you die early."
The young commander who came with them felt the same way when he heard this.
He has been like that all the way through, and even if he wanted to die he couldn't!
"You're dreaming about asking us to eat that shit!" The boss was so angry that he overturned the table on the spot.
But the next moment, the golden silk in Xia Ju's hand was strangled around his neck.
The slightest movement would tear the body apart.
Xie Zhuoning's eyes turned cold. She was obviously a woman, but her words were even colder than a man's. "We are not discussing this with you guys."
They have to eat this Ghost Pill whether they want to or not!
"Eat, eat, eat, let's eat." The second in command was more aware of the current situation and immediately took the initiative to eat it.
But in fact, after the pill entered the throat, it was not swallowed, but hidden under the tongue coating, waiting for an opportunity to spit it out when no one was around.
He winked at the big boss, who immediately understood and changed his attitude, "Okay, I'll eat it."
However, how could the two of them hide their little tricks from Xiao Jinxuan's eyes?
With a raised eyebrow, he picked up two teacups on the table and threw them at the two men, hitting them right in the chest.
"Ah!" The two of them opened their mouths in pain.
Seeing this, Song Yuqiu simply poured out all the Ghost Pills in the bottle and stuffed a handful into each of their mouths.
One can be hidden under the tongue coating, but how can this bunch be hidden?
Even if they want to vomit immediately, there will always be one or two fish that slip through the net and slide down their throats.
Even the third in command who fainted from the pain after having his arm cut off, Song Yuqiu treated him equally and stuffed a handful of it into his mouth.
The first and second in command looked livid.
This time they are really being led by the nose!
It was not until this moment that all the paralyzed sentries below were replaced by a group of people and finally recovered to normal and passed on the news.
"Boss, second boss, third boss, something bad has happened. Someone has intruded into the Green Forest Alliance. All the tribes have sent people to reinforce us..."
Before he finished speaking, the person who reported it sensed the strange atmosphere in Zhongyi Hall and couldn't help swallowing.
"Boss, Second Boss, are you all right?"
The boss was suppressing his desire to kill, with an expression on his face that said, "Do you think I'm okay?"
There were so many sentries, but they didn't detect the whereabouts of those people.
If the news had gotten out earlier and everyone had rushed over to support them, how could they have been beaten so miserably?
Now, the child is dead and he is breastfeeding!
Xie Zhuoning rested his chin on one hand, leaned on the table, and glanced at him leisurely, "Boss, people asked you if you had anything to do, why didn't you answer? So many brothers below are waiting for your words."
As she spoke, she turned a small medicine bottle in her hand, which was the antidote to the Ghost Pill.
The big boss was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "We are fine. Go tell everyone to go away. These are all distinguished guests invited by the Green Forest Alliance!"
The man who came to report the news glanced around and saw that the third in command had his arm broken, the second in command nodded and bowed, and the first in command gnashed his teeth. It didn't look like everything was alright.
But since the boss said it was okay, he could only pretend nothing happened and leave, letting everyone go.
Then the second in command busied himself and quickly arranged the best accommodation for them.
"When you open the window here, you can see clouds and waterfalls. It is the best courtyard in our Green Forest Alliance. We have prepared a dinner to entertain you later in the evening. Please be sure to come and enjoy it."
Xie Zhuoning and Xiao Jinxuan were both very satisfied and let him go back first.
When the second in command left, he considerately closed the door.
Xie Zhuoning chuckled, "He is quite flexible."
Xiao Jinxuan's brows darkened, "He's unpredictable and dangerous. We're in a den of thieves, so we have to be extra careful about everything."
No one knows what awaits them ahead.
On the other side, the big boss snorted coldly when he saw the second in command coming back and asking his subordinates to prepare delicious food and wine.
"Lai Laoer, you are such a good dog. You really try your best for your master!"
"Brother, you misunderstood me." The second in command looked around and saw that there was no outsider around, so he whispered a few words into his ear.
The boss narrowed his eyes, "Really?"
The second in command showed a sinister look on his face, "Big brother, just wait and see at the banquet tonight."
