C31 (2/2)

”Okay, second brother.” Old Third grabbed his elbow. Let's go out and let big brother rest in peace. ”

The two of them opened the door and left, and the Lao Er shook off the Old Third's hand. ”Hmph, I'll leave by myself.”

Old Third sighed helplessly and left.

After a while, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou once again ”inadvertently” passed by. After that, the two of them looked at each other and also left.

At night, Shi Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan slept in the same bed, and there were a lot of rooms on the mountain. Some people lived together with their family, while some people lived together with two or three men.

Shi Qingzhou and the person Long Xiaoyuan pretended to be lived in the same room, while Liu An lived next door.

Because they were in the same room, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou were naturally trapped in the same bed.

Long Xiaoyuan held onto Shi Qingzhou's waist and softly said: ”Qingzhou, as you've said … The boss and the Old Third are both more rational in that sense, and are also thinking for the people on the mountain, so they don't want to continue being bandits? ”

Shi Qingzhou replied with an ”En” sound, ”How many people are willing to do what kind of bandits can live under the sun? This is a matter with their heads hanging on their waist.”

”Ugh …” That's true. ” Long Xiaoyuan nodded as he pondered. If so... We can make a plan, and maybe, we can convince the two leaders inside. ”

Shi Qingzhou was a little hesitant, ”But if we fail, then we will be in danger …”

Long Xiaoyuan paused. ”No worries, wealth comes from danger.”

Shi Qingzhou frowned slightly. If he was alone, then he did not mind ”seeking wealth from dangers”. However, the identity of an emperor was extremely important, how could he take the risk?

Seeing that Shi Qingzhou was quiet, Long Xiaoyuan immediately understood. He thought for a while and said: ”How about this, we will observe for two days. Before we carry out this plan, I will go down the mountain.”

Shi Qingzhou heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. ”Alright, since that's the case, leave the matter here to me. I definitely won't disappoint the emperor.”

Long Xiaoyuan kissed Shi Qingzhou's forehead, ”Mn, be careful.”

For the next two days, Long Xiaoyuan, Shi Qingzhou and the others stayed on the mountain to watch and listen.

Using their own eyes, they concluded that they might all have been forced onto Liang Shan. However, there was also a portion of them who were not very good, and their hands were also stained with blood.

Originally, Long Xiaoyuan wanted to go down the mountain on his own, but no matter what, Shi Qingzhou would not agree to it. Long Xiaoyuan did not want to make things difficult for the other party at this time, and thus, any negotiations that he could carry out fell short.

That night, after Long Xiaoyuan and Liu An smoothly reached the foot of the mountain, Shi Qingzhou sneaked into the bandit boss's room …

That night, Long Xiaoyuan stood at the foot of the mountain and waited for Shi Qingzhou to come down.

The time he had to wait was hard. Facing the dark mountain, he clenched his fists. This feeling of not being able to protect the people he cared about was not good, even a little bad.

Until now, Long Xiaoyuan had clearly seen that he cared about Shi Qingzhou. This was true.

It was not because the other party was the main character, not because the other party could kill him to ascend the throne, not because of these benefits.

He cared about Shi Qingzhou because he treated him as his partner.

A companion … Not for profit, not for his own life, not for the book, just because of the word partner.
