Chapter 288 Recruitment
In the Qingzhou Xiangjun barracks, Shi Qian was tied up and fell to the ground by a small barracks. On the surface, he looked bound and looked weak and obviously couldn't move, but in fact, his hands tied behind him were giggling at this time, making the rope that should have tied his hands firmly to death slowly loosened.
The bone shrinkage technique is another unique skill that Shi Qian had besides his superb light body skill. Although his figure is much smaller than ordinary people, he cannot come and go freely from a small skylight about a foot square. The ability to do this is due to this body of bone shrinkage skill.
More importantly, after taking him to the barracks and throwing him into this barracks that were used as temporary prison cells, no one cared about him anymore. At least no one was staring at the room, which gave him a chance to get out of trouble. At this time, Shi Qian's eyes were flashing with splendor, and he did not dare to use too much force. He slowly restored his hands to some freedom, and then leaned against ten fingers that were much more flexible than ordinary people, and untied several knots on his wrist bit by bit.
Finally, after being thrown into this place for a while, Shi Qian's hands were free. Once his hands were freed, the other constraints on his body were no longer a problem for him. While quickly untiing the rope, he still sneered in his heart: "You are too underestimating Grandpa Shi. If you want to trap me, you have to use shackles and chains. Just rely on these ropes..."
After lifting all the constraints, Shi Qian moved his hands and feet and stood up gently, tiptoed to the closed barracks door, opened a gap and then headed out. In fact, he had already heard the shouts and exercises from outside before, and knew that it was still difficult to escape at dawn. But he knew better that his time was limited, and once the government army sent him to the government office, it would be even more difficult to escape. The guards there must be stricter than here.
But just as he looked out, he met two eyes with a slight ridiculous look. Then the door opened with a scream, and Shi Qian was so shocked that he whipped back and retreated, and opened the distance from the other party. At the same time, he also saw the situation outside - the young military officer in charge was looking at him with a dozen soldiers with swords and guns out of their sheath.
This made him feel a little angry, except for surprise. What is this? Is he trying to play with himself like a cat catching a mouse? He actually waited in front of the door early in the morning? No wonder they were so relaxed, but they were waiting for him here.
Sun Tu's eyes moved back and forth on Shi Qian and the untied ropes beside him, and finally looked at him and said, "Who are you? You can escape from the heavy bondage in such a short time. It seems that you have extraordinary skills."
"Hmph, why are you talking about these things at this time? Grandpa, since I have fallen into your hands, I will just admit defeat!" Shi Qian thought he was unable to escape, so he thrust his chest and said, "Anyway, I'm just a thief, you can't kill me..."
"Yes, a thief is not a serious crime, and he will not die." Sun Tu was not angry either and said with a smile: "But your targets are all wealthy businessmen in Qingzhou City, but they offended everyone badly. If you handed you over to the government office now, what would you think it would be?"
This made Shi Qian suddenly stunned, and a little uneasy suddenly felt in his heart. Yes, all he offended were influential figures in the city. If he was really thrown into prison, he would definitely suffer a lot, and even if he didn't die, he would have to lose his skin.
Seeing this, Sun Tu took another step: "And based on your ability to steal, I'm afraid you should be a habitual offender? I guess you have been stealing a lot in other states before. If they know, what will happen to you?"
Shi Qian's expression changed again, and his body trembled, and he finally became a little scared: "You...what do you mean by these things? Don't scare you Grandpa Shi, I'm not scared..." Although his tone was still hard, his essence was already a little weak.
"When your surname is? What's your name?" Sun Tu raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.
"I don't change my name or not, but I'm called Shi Qian. People in the world are called Gu Shangfiao." Shi Qian didn't mean to hide it anymore, and immediately reported his name. Then he saw Sun Tu's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face became three more points: "It's him."
In fact, when he had met him last night and saw his outstanding body skills and flexible tactics, Sun Tu had already guessed that he was the famous Gu Shangfa Shi Qian, who made the most contributions in Liangshan, who had a very low status, who had countless thieves in this world, but had very few who had such skills, and perhaps Shi Qian, the same age may be just like Shi Qian.
As for saying that he was the most suppressed and excluded by the leaders of Liangshan, it is not an exaggeration at all. You should know that since Shi Xing moved to Liangshanpo, he has made many great contributions. It can even be said that if it weren't for him, Liangshan might have been suppressed by the government army before he could be recruited and surrendered to the court.
Hu Yanzhuo had to snatch Xu Ning up the mountain to teach the hook and gun. When he was stolen by Shi Qian, he saved Lu Junyi and defeated Daming Mansion. The Cuiyun Tower he set fire to the fire. It was the battle of Zengtou City. If he hadn't had the proper investigation, the heroes of Liangshan would have suffered a great loss there...
These one by one are all great contributions to the survival of Liangshanpo. But as a result, when the seats were finally scheduled, the Drum Flea was despised and excluded because of his low background. In the end, he ended up with only one hundred and seven people, which was a little higher than Duan Jingzhu, a golden retriever who was first on the mountain. What about the contribution? Even the thirty people on Tiangang Star could not be compared with him.
He noticed that Sun Tu's look at him was a little strange, which made Shi Qian become more and more alert, and he took two steps back again: "You... how are you staying?" He said he was not afraid, but in fact he was still very weak. After all, his martial arts skills were average, and he knew that he was far from being a match for Sun Tu and the others.
Sun Tu then pressed the joy in his heart and said, "Actually, someone from the government office came to take you away, but was rejected by my official. Do you know why I did this?"
Shi Qian shook his head in a daze. He really couldn't guess the thoughts of the young military officer who was much younger than him. Sun Tu no longer went around in circles and stared at him and said, "Because I want you to use it for me, I want to save you."
"Ah? Do you want me to steal something for you?" Shi Qian misunderstood and asked casually. Sun Tu laughed and shook his head: "As a court official, how could I do this illegal act? I just want to take you under my command and serve my Qingzhou army. As long as you become a member of my Qingzhou army, I can guarantee that no one dares to pursue the crimes you committed before in the future. From now on, you will no longer have to worry about being arrested by the government. How about it, are you willing to join our army?"
"This... I'm just a thief. What's the use of it in the army?" Shi Qian was really confused. Although he thought he had a lot of skills, he didn't think he could play any role in the army.
"Of course you can make a lot of contributions to our official army. Now I am planning to build an elite scout. As long as you are willing to nod, the position of captain of the scout camp will be yours!" Sun Tu said sincerely at the other party.
After hearing this, even the faces of the soldiers behind Sun Tu changed a little. They had known that Sun Tu was intending to select some elite troops from the army to form a scout team, and many people were even trying to make the captain's idea. After all, ordinary scouts can get double the money and food, so the captain's salary will only be more expensive, and his status will definitely be higher than that of ordinary generals. But now, Sun Dujian actually plans to let a thief who has just been captured as the scout team leader. Isn't that too much fun?
Sun Tu seemed to have guessed that they would have such a reaction, so he said seriously: "I formed a scout camp not only to let them fight head-on with the enemy, observe the enemy, explore the way, sneak attack, burn food... All the things that can cause damage to the enemy from the dark are within their responsibilities. In this way, in addition to martial arts, the captain's candidates are also required to be adaptable and familiar with the surrounding environment, etc. Shi Qianneng succeeds repeatedly in Qingzhou, which proves that he does have extraordinary abilities."
After saying this, he looked at Shi Qian again: "Shi Qian, now you are in my hands, and you can even say that life and death are in my mind. I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts for you. In addition, are you willing to be a shameful thief for the rest of your life? Many years later, when you have descendants, let them be a thief? Or let them know that their father and grandfather are just a thief who is despised?"
Shi Qian's body shook lightly again. He had thought about these things occasionally before, but because of this situation, he could only throw them behind his head and not think deeply. But now that Sun Tu pointed it out in person, it would have a great impact on him.
Although he also had some concerns, worried that he would be accustomed to freedom and could not stand the constraints of the army, once he refused to agree, let alone freedom, he might not be able to save his life. In this way, before joining the army, becoming a member of Sun Tuxin's scout camp was the last choice.
But Shi Qian still had a little worry in his heart: "Can you... really make sure I won't be investigated by the government?"
"I said that since you dare to accept you into the army, you will be responsible to the end. Even if the court issued an order to punish you in the end, I will think of a way to let you go first." Sun Tu responded solemnly.
Speaking of this, Shi Qian had no choice but to hold his fist and said, "Then I will do this. From now on, you will be the general!"
