“Since you call me brother, then don’t stand on ceremony, Brother Gu. Just say what you want to say.” Tiger laughed.
“Then I won’t hesitate. After this incident, although nothing happened to me, Lion Camel Ridge will definitely attract the attention of the officials.
“What are your plans for the future?”
“What do you mean?”
“There’s no meaning to it. The situation has stabilized now, and the government won’t allow you to stay in Lion Camel Ridge for long.
“Therefore, what I mean is that you have to find a way out as soon as possible.
“Besides, you have to think about your descendants. You can’t let them be bandits forever, right?”
Although Tiger was a little unhappy at first, he was not brainless. Otherwise, he would not have been the chief here for many years.
Therefore, he knew very well that what he said made sense.
The main point was that, for the sake of their descendants, they could not continue to be bandits on the mountain.
“Brother Gu, why don’t you tell us where our way out is?” he asked.
“There are three ways.
“First, you could change from a bandit to a hunter and become a villager. Of course, this is the worst option.
“Second, the population decreased sharply after the disaster, so there is a lot of empty land. You can choose a piece of land to settle down on and become good citizens.
“I will help you through my connections if you agree to this condition. However, I’m afraid that you can’t all be together.
“Third, amnesty. You were soldiers before. After returning to the military camp, you will be able to serve the imperial court better with your skills.”
“Do you think the Imperial Court will treat us well?” Tiger asked after a moment of shock.
“I don’t know you guys very well, but after spending a day with you, I can tell that you guys aren’t criminals.
“Moreover, we’ve also asked around before.
“Your toll was always reasonable, and you never made things difficult for honest merchants or ordinary passers-by.
“Just based on this point, I’m willing to deal with it for you.”
Seeing his sincerity, Tiger hesitated for a while. “Brother Gu, you still have to stay in Qianzhou for about half a month, right? Why don’t you let us brothers discuss it? I’ll let you know when I have an idea.”
Although he was the chief here, his subordinates were all his brothers, who had gone through life and death with him. He had to consider their feelings.
“I understand. Regardless of whether it succeeds, I will revisit you before I leave.”
“Sure, I’ll gather a few smart and capable brothers and send you over.”
“Thank you for your kind intentions, Brother Tiger. However, it’s best to keep the news of Master Liu and the others dying on this mountain a secret for now. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if they sought revenge.”
Tiger thought of the matter of Qianzhou Province’s general judge being King Hui’s subordinate. He nodded and said, “I’ll listen to you then.”
“Remember, before that person is dealt with, do nothing. Also, try your best to block the news of Master Liu and the others.”
“Don’t worry, I will keep an eye on them.
“I’ll send someone to send you out from the small road later.”
“Alright, I’ll take my leave.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he called for Monkey, who led the way. They directly crossed the mountain range.
When he came out, he didn’t expect to have already arrived at the nearest town.
Monkey said, “This lowly one will send everyone here. This is a little token of our big brother’s appreciation. Please accept it.”
After he finished speaking, he handed him a banknote worth ten thousand taels.
Gu Chengrui hesitated for a moment. “Alright, I’ll accept it. When I get back, help me thank Brother Tiger. After I’m done, I’ll definitely visit him..”
