After making the necessary arrangements, Song An sneaked back to his room.
Along the way, with the advantage of his martial strength, he had almost gotten all the hidden sentries…
However, Xie Baoqing wasn't idle either.
Seeing that Song An had turned off the lights, Xie Baoqing called for someone to go out and bring three people back.
In the past, Xie Baoqing would never let anyone enter his bedroom.
Therefore, when they were brought to the room, the three bandits did not dare to move for a moment. They did not understand what their boss meant.
Xie Baoqing, however, was no longer as brutal as before. His attitude towards these people was very warm.
"The three of you don't have to be nervous. I called you over because I have something to say.”
The three of them looked at each other. After a while, one of them stood up and cupped his fists at Xie Baoqing."Chief, if you have something to say, just say it! As long as we brothers can do it, even if we have to go through a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, we will definitely complete the Chief's mission!”
Xie Baoqing smiled and took a sip of tea.
"The three of you were Lynx's trusted aides, right?”
The three people in front of him were shocked and avoided his gaze at the same time.
After all, Shan Xinzi was already dead. Now that Xie Baoqing suddenly asked this, they couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
However, Xie Baoqing didn't say anything, leaving the three of them frozen on the spot.
After a long time, Xie Baoqing touched the teacup in his hand casually.
As soon as the crisp sound came out, the three of them quivered and immediately bent down in unison!
"Chief!"
Xie Baoqing blew on his tea lightly." Have you thought it through?”
The three of them did not dare to delay any longer and quickly answered.
"Chief, we are people of the Black Cloud Stronghold in life and ghosts of the Black Cloud Stronghold in death!”
The Lynx people were dead, and Xie Baoqing was clearly using them. At this time, even a fool would know how to show his loyalty.
As expected, Xie Baoqing glanced at them a few times and didn't dwell on this question anymore. Instead, he continued,"It's good that you have this intention, but I still have to ask, are you not convinced about the matter with Lynx?”
The three of them fell silent again. After a while, the man who spoke first spoke with red eyes.
"Chief, no matter what Second Chief has done, he is still an old man in our village and has done many things for the Black Cloud Stronghold.”
"Even if the new second-in-charge is skilled in martial arts, he should at least have an explanation for killing someone with a slap, right?”
Xie Baoqing seemed to have expected them to have objections. He smiled faintly and said,"I called you here today for this matter.”
"Song An is quite skilled and is a talent. He will definitely be very useful in the future!”
"What is the most important thing in this era? Talents, of course! So I want this person."
The three of them knew what he meant. They didn't say anything about whether Lin Shanzi died unjustly or not. They lowered their heads again.
At this moment, Xie Baoqing suddenly said,"However, what you said is not without reason.”
"He's a newcomer, and it's indeed a little unreasonable for him to sit directly in the position of the second-in-charge…"
The person in front of him quickly replied," Yes, Chief.”
"If this Song An doesn't have any other intentions, it's fine. If he does, he's already here…"
He did not finish his sentence.
Xie Baoqing nodded understandingly.
"How about this? In the future, the three of you will be responsible for keeping an eye on him.”
"If this Song An really dares to have any intentions, you guys…"
Xie Baoqing gestured with his hand on his neck. The bandits understood what he meant.
The three of them were delighted and immediately agreed.
"Thank you, Chief!"
Xie Baoqing waved his hand.
"Alright, get out."
Xie Baoqing narrowed his eyes as he watched the three of them disappear into the night. He looked in the direction of Song An's residence again…
The next morning.
As soon as Xie Baoqing woke up, he saw Song An gesturing with a branch.
After watching him closely for two minutes, she vaguely felt that his dance was like some kind of extremely fierce saber technique.
However, when he looked over again, there were traces of swordsmanship.
However, the branch in Song An's hand seemed to have been casually broken. Even someone like him, who had practiced, could not tell what Song An was gesturing at.
After a while, Song An turned around and met his eyes. He immediately withdrew his hand.
"Chief, you came at the right time. I have something to discuss with you.”
Xie Baoqing was about to ask him what he was practicing, but he swallowed his question and looked up at him.
"Second Leader, if you have something to say, just say it. After entering our Black Cloud Stronghold, treat it as your own home!”
Song An smiled and nodded." To be honest, the brothers I brought are actually from the Eighth Route Army's kitchen."”
"We used to be just a group of cooks. I thought, why don't we let them go to the kitchen of the Black Cloud Stronghold?”
"After all, my brothers don't know anything else.”
Xie Baoqing's heart skipped a beat.
He was just worrying about how to not shoot Song An and the others, but this kid actually presented himself with a ready-made opportunity?
