Chapter 45

Facing Black Centipede's sarcasm, Viper ignored it: "Why don't you listen first before making a decision?"

Black Centipede widened his eyes and stared at Viper like this, without speaking.

Viper calmly picked up the tea beside him and took a sip: "It tastes terrible!"

Then the two sides were cold for a while, and Black Centipede narrowed his eyes and said: "Tell me about it."

Viper wasn't surprised; after all, he had known Black Centipede for many years and had some understanding of each other's personalities.

"I heard, you are looking for someone?"

"Why? Is the person with you?"

Mentioning this matter, Black Centipede was furious; he didn't know which blind thing dared to touch his gold master, this time the Tang family had spoken, if they couldn't find the person, I'm afraid the silver money next month wouldn't be his Centipede Stronghold's turn to take.

Such a big stronghold, I don't know how much silver it costs to eat and drink every day; without this income from the Tang family, in a few months, the Centipede Stronghold would have to rank behind the Viper Stronghold.

It is said that cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents; Black Centipede now hated those few little thieves to the bone.

Viper put down the teacup in his hand: "The person is not with me, but I know where the person is!"

Black Centipede responded without thinking: "Don't sell it short, where is it?"

"Spider Stronghold!" Viper raised his eyebrows, his expression quite a bit of fanning the flames.

"Hahaha, lazy snake! Want to play borrowing a knife to kill? This trick is outdated!" Black Centipede laughed, clearly not believing what Viper said.

Viper snorted coldly: "You are really stupid!"

Black Centipede slammed the table, stood up and stared at Viper: "You, try scolding again?"

The people of the Centipede Stronghold all took a step forward, and the scene instantly became tense.

"Didn't hear clearly? I said... you... are stupid!" How could Viper be scared by Black Centipede, crossing his feet on the table, his face full of disdain.

The people of the Viper Stronghold were also not afraid of trouble; although this was the other party's territory, they still stood firmly behind Viper.

Pit Viper was full of cold sweat, wanting to persuade Viper to be low-key; after all, this was someone else's territory, a strong dragon couldn't suppress a local snake, and he was afraid that Viper would blame him for damaging his face afterward, so he didn't speak in the end.

Only Jiang Jinshi was full of joy.

Fight, fight! The more fiercely you fight, the happier I am.

Black Centipede didn't speak, just kept staring at Viper like this; Viper reached out and dug his ears: "Are your eyes dry?"

Seeing that Black Centipede still didn't speak, Viper took the initiative to explain: "Old Black, don't be unhappy that I say you like this. Think about it carefully, even you can hear that it's a trick of borrowing a knife to kill, would I use such a trick?"

Invisibly, Black Centipede was yin-yang-ed again, gritting his teeth and saying a sentence through his teeth.

"My patience is limited, you'd better finish it all at once."

Viper put down his feet: "I say the other party is from the Spider Stronghold, naturally there is a basis; you can verify this point; if I talk nonsense, will you let me go afterward?"

"Will the Spider Stronghold be indifferent after being splashed with dirty water?"

"So I specially made up a lie to give you two reasons to join forces to attack me?"

Such a soul-searching three questions made Black Centipede suddenly calm down, thinking carefully that what this lazy snake said was not unreasonable.

But Black Centipede still didn't understand why Viper specially ran to his door to tell him this news.

Viper seemed to see what Black Centipede was thinking, so he lowered his voice and said: "Of course I have my purpose in doing this; we can join forces."

"Join forces with you?"

Viper said: "That's right! Your Centipede Stronghold is not much stronger than the Spider Stronghold; even if you take down the Spider Stronghold, you will be seriously injured, but with my addition, isn't the Spider Stronghold easy to take?"

Black Centipede didn't answer directly, asking back: "Where did you get the news?"

Viper curled his lips: "We are all thousand-year-old foxes, what are you pretending with me? I know you have my people in the Viper Stronghold, don't you know I have your people in the Spider Stronghold?"

Immediately after, Viper continued: "Actually, you also know the situation of my Viper Stronghold; I just want to swallow the Spider Stronghold and share a piece of the pie. As for the news, you can verify the truth yourself, but it's best not to delay too much time; perhaps I will change my mind at any time."

After saying this, Viper stood up and walked toward the outside, and the people of the Viper Stronghold followed one after another.

The people of the Centipede Stronghold didn't block them, seeing that their head leader didn't open his mouth.

After the people of the Viper Stronghold left, Black Centipede said to his subordinates: "Take the portrait sent by the Tang family to the brothers of the Spider Stronghold to see; I want to know the answer tomorrow morning!"

Black Centipede looked at the teacup Viper had drunk from and couldn't help but snort coldly: "So what if the person is in the Spider Stronghold? I'll just tell them to hand over the person! Join forces with you to attack the Spider Stronghold? Keep dreaming!"

In fact, Black Centipede had already believed what Viper said, but he had to verify it to avoid being set up by that lazy snake.

In Black Centipede's view, the Spider Stronghold would definitely not offend him for the sake of a few naive people who had no eyes; he just needed to hand over the person to the Tang family, and the matter would be solved smoothly; why would he need to fight?

The Spider Stronghold was not made of paper, and even if the two families joined forces, they would have different hearts; after all, the Viper Stronghold was not in a hurry, but he was burning his ass here.

Thinking of this, Black Centipede suddenly felt that he had become smart; one day he could actually calculate that lazy snake.

A picture of Viper being furious appeared in his mind, and Black Centipede's mood improved a lot instantly.

After returning to the stronghold, Viper couldn't wait to walk toward his room, and Pit Viper was also busy dealing with stronghold affairs.

After Jiang Jinshi returned to the room, he asked Wang Sixi: "What about the things I asked you to prepare?"

"It's already done." Speaking, Wang Sixi took out a cloth bag from under the bed, and after opening it, it was square pieces of bamboo.

Although he didn't know what Jiang Jinshi used this thing for, the four still spent a whole day completing it.

Jiang Jinshi looked at it, although the workmanship was very rough, it was not unusable.

"Come, today I'll teach you how to play something."

"What thing?"

"Mahjong!"

Since going up the mountain, Jiang Jinshi had discovered one thing, that there was no entertainment activity in the stronghold.

People on patrol were always yawning, or simply hiding in a corner to sleep.

Even the bandit who monitored Jiang Jinshi and his party couldn't bear the loneliness and took the initiative to find the few to talk.

There were only a few people in the stronghold who could play wantonly, and the rest of the bandits were always in a state of bored empty brain, the main reason being that they were too idle.

There was no daily training content, either guarding the road down the mountain, or guarding the entrance of the stronghold.

So Jiang Jinshi was very considerate, first making some playing cards to attract the attention of the bandits, but the effect was not as explosive as he imagined, this time he wanted to try with Mahjong.

Two-pronged approach, he didn't believe this bunch of people could hold back.

"Come come come, three missing one!"
