Chapter 428: Chapter 428: Defection Chapter 428: Chapter 428: Defection “So, you’re asking to capture the Chief? How could I possibly succeed? As far as I know, not only does he master the Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt, but he also knows many lost Martial Arts Secrets. I don’t an to undermine the young hero, but I fear even you are no match for the Chief.”
Black Eight’s words weren’t the least bit obscure.
Bai Junjun wasn’t annoyed and nodded in understanding, “Alright, I’ve heard you. Now, I have a new task for you.”
“?” Black Eight blinked his only eye in confusion, “What… what task?”
“There are still over a thousand bandits roaming around. I want you to gather them quickly. If they are willing to accept an amnesty and beco ordinary citizens of Dai County, they will be spared. If they stubbornly refuse and continue down the wrong path, I’ll have to resort to a second policy.”
“What… what policy?” Black Eight asked subconsciously.
Bai Junjun’s policy was straightforward. If everyone could see the tis clearly, then they should just be good citizens and, when necessary, protect the weaker neighbors of Dai County. This way, past faults can be forgiven, and they could redeem themselves.
If they insist on causing problems, then it would co to “while neighbors stock grains, I stock arms, for the neighbors are but my granaries.”
“…” Black Eight was left speechless by Bai Junjun, not knowing what to say.
anwhile, Bai Junjun said, “You can take so ti to think about it—I’ll give you five seconds.”
No need for an explanation, Black Eight understood what five seconds ant. As soon as Bai Junjun’s words fell, he nodded earnestly, “I can certainly try to persuade them, but what makes you think they would listen to ?”
“Aren’t you Black Eight? You must have so skills of your own, right? Your words should carry weight with the underlings.”
“But I still have Sixth Brother above .” Black Eight felt helpless, and though ranked eighth, he actually had the weakest combat power, which might not convince others.
“Leave that to . Stay with us until we find them, and after that, you’ll be free,” Bai Junjun continued to persuade gently.
Yet Black Eight was far from pleased. What did she an by ‘stay with them’? It clearly ant to monitor and control him.
But what could he do, when he was but a fish on the chopping block?
Still, Bai Junjun didn’t completely restrict Black Eight. She had great confidence in her own ‘little seeds.’
If Black Eight made any sudden moves, he would imdiately turn into a human flowerpot.
Before leaving, Bai Junjun instructed Black Eight to deal with these dozen or so brothers and found an identity token from Black Spider on them,
which was sothing Xiao Chan had discovered while counting the bodies the day before. Each mber of Black Spider had a personal identification number.
Previously, they had dragged the bodies one by one back to the County Yan for the reward, but actually, they just needed to bring back the identity token. As for the bodies, burying them on the spot would suffice.
Thus, Black Eight had to personally bury his forr comrades.
At the sa ti, he discovered that all his comrades had died from a certain type of short arrows from a crossbow.
The reason he knew this so clearly was that the terrifying child, who couldn’t be identified as male or female, had flicked their wrist and the short arrows from the corpses’ chests had flown back neatly, returning to Bai Junjun’s hands.
At that mont, Black Eight was stunned. He had seen boorangs return to their owner’s hand, but he had never imagined that a short crossbow could automatically return to its master’s hand as well.
Bai Junjun, however, had the look of an unsophisticated bumpkin who had not seen much of the world, “This is a family heirloom hidden weapon. It’s normal that you don’t understand.”
“…” Black Eight.
Bai Junjun and Xiao Chan ended up with Black Eight and 18 identity plaques, while the other two teams ca back empty-handed.
