C937 Chess Piece
Looking at Lee Shun's gloomy eyes, he seemed to be hardening in his heart, as if he believed that the people who came to the island tonight were all his enemies. It was as if this young master was an extremely important chess piece in his hands. It was extremely important to his plan to attack Bai Laosan, so he couldn't afford any mistakes.
Qin nodded. "Sure, no problem!"
Then Lee Shun said: "I want to rest for a while, tomorrow I have to attend Bai Laosan's grand opening ceremony, and I have to be in high spirits!"
With that, Lee Shun returned to the cave.
I wonder if Lee Shun will fall asleep after skating.
Qin and I split up and walked away. I went to the north end of the island and strolled on a rock.
There was no wind on the sea, and everything was very quiet. From the grass came the chirping of unknown insects.
After an unknown period of time, I gradually began to feel sleepy. Just as I was about to take a nap, I heard the faint sounds of fighting coming from the west side of the island.
I quivered and quickly walked towards the west. In the hazy night, I saw two figures fighting in the shadows. One was without a doubt Qin's, while the other seemed to be of a small stature, but his movements were very nimble. He didn't seem to know I was there.
I ducked and moved close to the bushes, watching them.
The skinny man was gradually at a disadvantage and did not seem to be Qin's match. At this time, he suddenly made a move towards Qin. Qin took a step back and sped up his pace towards me. It seemed that he was anxious to get rid of Qin's entanglement.
Just as he was about to reach me, I suddenly dashed out and swept my leg.
Caught off guard, he was directly knocked down by me. Afterwards, I pounced on him and firmly pressed down on his body.
Then, Qin also arrived.
Together we held him down and pulled him up.
His face was covered with a black cloth. I turned on the flashlight I brought with me, and Qin pulled off the black cloth on his face.
"Huh?" The moment we saw his face, Qin and I couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
This thin man is the Emperor!
Qin knew the Emperor. On the first day of the new year, Wu De invited Lee Shun and Bai Laosan to eat together. Qin and the Emperor were also present. Not only did he know the Emperor, he also knew the Emperor's identity.
Who would have thought that the uninvited guest would be the Emperor.
Lee Shun specifically warned them to not leave anyone alive regardless of who they caught. What should they do now that they've captured the Emperor?
I felt troubled and couldn't help but look at Qin.
Qin was expressionless. Without saying anything further, he took out a shiny dagger from his pocket and waved it towards the emperor's neck.
Qin was prepared to take the King's life without any hesitation.
Surprised, I quickly reached out and grabbed Qin's hand that was holding the dagger. The tip of the dagger stopped less than two centimeters away from the emperor's throat.
The emperor's face couldn't help but slightly change, a trace of fear appeared in his eyes as he took in a breath of cold air. Even with his vast knowledge, he could not help but feel a little afraid at this moment. I didn't expect Qin to carry out Lee Shun's order so resolutely. No matter who it is, they would still want to die.
The Emperor probably did not expect Qin to kill him without even asking.
In terms of martial arts, the Emperor is obviously not any match for Qin and me. However, compared to the Mind's Eye, Qin and I might not be able to compete with the Emperor.
I firmly held Qin's hand. Qin looked at me: "Qin, what are you going to do?"
I asked Qin: "What are you going to do?"
Qin said: "What do you think I'm doing? I'm carrying out the boss' orders! Are you trying to stop me? "
I said, "One, we all know this person. "Besides, he is familiar with the boss. Secondly, we should at least ask him about it."
Qin said, "That's not what the boss said. Did you forget?"
Saying that, Qin's arm started to move again. I quickly clenched my fist and said to Qin: "Qin, listen to me. First, ask what happened, okay?"
Qin's expression turned ugly: "You must stop me?"
I nodded. "More or less."
Qin's face turned blue and said: "Are you going to fight with me over this person?"
I quickly said, "I never meant that. I just. Just to ask first. Everyone works for the boss, you and I are working for Boss Lee, he is working for Wu De, and it's not like you don't know the relationship between Wu De and Boss Lee. You also know Boss Lee's state of mind when he talked after skating, and if we just kill him like this, it might be hard to explain it to him afterwards, and we can't explain it to Boss Lee, and neither can Boss Lee explain to Wu De. "
Qin shook his head, "Yi, you can use these words to fool other people, but they are useless against me. Boss Lee just finished skating, but even if he skates, he might not always be in a hallucination. From the way he speaks, I can tell that he's awake and not awake, and tonight, his words will definitely be true. "No matter who it is, as long as it's an uninvited guest, kill him!"
Saying that, Qin's wrist began to move again.
I panicked and hurriedly said: "Qin, wait a moment, this person has helped me before, I owe him a favor!"
Qin said, "You're planning to use the bulletin as a private matter?"
I said, "No, he helped me. He actually helped us. If you insist on killing him, I won't let you succeed. If you want to kill him, you have to fight me.
My tone was firm.
I don't know why, but I don't want to see the Emperor die at this moment. There are too many secrets in this person that have yet to be unraveled.
Qin's expression turned even uglier as he said coldly, "Yi, do you think you're a match for me?"
I said, "I know I'm no match for you, but I'd rather die than bear the notoriety of vindictiveness."
At this time, the King's face flashed with a touched expression, and he opened his mouth to speak: "You two, everyone has their own masters. I hastily entered the Gold Silver Island tonight because I was following orders too. After hearing the conversation between the two of you, I understand that everyone has their own difficulties. If Old Man Qin insists on killing me tonight, I won't hesitate. Brother Brother Yi is willing to fight with Old Man Qin on my behalf, and he might even lose his life.
Qin and I looked at the Emperor.
The Emperor continued, "I know why Boss Lee gave the order to kill any outsider tonight. I fully understand. To be honest, I've been on the island for a while. However, I want to say something. It doesn't matter if I saw or heard something tonight, no matter when or where, I will say that I didn't see or hear anything!
I will use my character as a guarantee for those words! Now that I'm in Old Man Qin's hands, the only thing I can say is this. Do you believe that I can't make a decision? The next step in life or death would be up to the old man. "Alright, I've finished. If Old Man Qin wants to fight, then do it. There's no need for Brother Yi to stop him. I don't want to hurt the two of you just because of my own life."
After saying that, the Emperor stretched out his hand, gently grabbed my wrist and pulled it away. Then, he stood up and smiled as he looked at Qin.
I let go and stared at Qin's hand.
In the darkness, the emperor's smile was somewhat difficult to fathom, even somewhat mysterious.
Qin looked at the King's eyes and hesitated for a moment. He seemed to be deep in thought.
After a while, Qin seemed to have made a decision. He turned around and looked at me: "Yi, the two of us are on duty tonight. Up until now, we haven't found anything abnormal, right?"
When Qin said this, I heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly nodded: "Yes!"
Qin let out a long breath and slowly put the dagger away.
The Emperor also heaved a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat off his forehead, and said: "Many thanks to the Old Master for not killing me. I will remember this favor. "With the everlasting presence of mountains and the constant flow of water, we will definitely repay this kindness in the future."
Qin looked at the Emperor and said: "Don't thank me, thank Yi instead. In my eyes, your life is worthless in my hands and is far from the relationship between Yi and me. I don't want my dog's life to harm the relationship between Yi and me.
We'll believe your words for the time being. I'll let you live tonight, but if you go back on your word, I'm afraid you'll regret it. You don't need Boss Lee to say anything, Yi and I will make a terrible death for you. "I think you heard what Boss Lee told you to do tonight. Let you go, Yi and I went against Boss Lee's orders, we are taking the risk."0
The Emperor straightened his back and said, "A man's words are as good as gold!"
Qin looked at the Emperor a few more times and frowned, then said: "You can go."
The Emperor took a few steps back, clasped his hands, then turned around and quickly disappeared into the night.
Watching the emperor's figure disappear from my sight, I looked at Qin: "Thank you for giving me this face."
Qin said coldly: "No need to thank me, I didn't give you any face at all. I didn't let him go because of what he said, and that's not why I told him. I know that even if you and I fought for him, it wouldn't hurt our relationship. I've never worried about our relationship. "
I felt warm and confused. "Then what are you doing?"
Qin turned his head and looked at the sea shrouded in darkness. After a long period of silence, he slowly said, "Combined with my previous impression of him and the conversation and performance between you and him, I suddenly have a feeling that I might not be able to kill this person." Perhaps, killing him would be a huge mistake! So, I would rather believe that he will keep his promise, so, I'd rather go against Boss Lee's orders. "
I said, "You mean. Because he's Wu De's man, because of Wu De's relationship with Boss Lee? "
Qin didn't answer my question. He was still silently looking at the distant black sea. His brows were knitted tightly, as if he was pondering about something.
After a while, Qin said, "You and this Emperor know me better than I do, who is he?"
I said, "Up till now, I only know that he is a subordinate of Wu De. He can be said to be a trusted aide. He works hard with Wu De, but …"
"But what?" Qin looked at me.
"But he seemed to have helped me a few times, or helped us a few times, either intentionally or not. This man, he does things so profound that it's hard for me to see through him. However, what he said tonight, I think I can believe it. Although he has done a lot of bad things with the Emperor, he seems to still have some righteousness in his bones, but this righteousness is very vague and incomprehensible. "In short, this person is very secretive in his actions, appearing and disappearing mysteriously."
Qin said, "It's risky that we don't kill him tonight. Once Boss Lee finds out about this, maybe we will all be in for a hard time. Maybe the Emperor will ruin Boss Lee's plans."
I said, "Not necessarily. He said, he didn't see or hear anything tonight! "
"Do you trust him?" Qin said.
"I can't say that I believe it, I can't say that I believe everything, but tonight's words, I feel that I can believe it!" "No," I said.
"Why?" Qin said.
"Intuition!"
"Intuition? "Do you trust your instincts that much?" Qin said.
I nodded. "Yes, sometimes intuition is subtle."
