Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

"Mr. Prefect, it's useless for you to hide behind the soldiers. How about I demonstrate? This bullet will hit your left ear. If you don't order the city gate to be opened, the next bullet will blow your head off." Wei Xiaobao said lightly, as if he was talking about something insignificant, but the threat in his tone was chilling.

When the prefect heard this, his face turned pale as paper, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He looked at the spear in Wei Xiaobao's hand in horror, his heart filled with fear and despair. He tried desperately to hide his body behind the soldiers, not daring to show his head, for fear that Wei Xiaobao would really shoot him in the head.

There was a loud bang, and the crisp sound of a gunshot pierced the quiet air. A 7.92mm rifle bullet flew towards the prefect like lightning.

The bullet passed through the chest of the Qing soldier in front at an astonishing speed, and then accurately passed through the prefect's left ear.

Blood splattered everywhere, the prefect covered his ears and screamed in pain, his body shaking uncontrollably.

At this time, the soldiers who were blocking the way in front had fallen to the ground, and the figure of the prefect was completely exposed to Wei Xiaobao. He endured the severe pain and shouted loudly with a trembling voice: "Open the city gate! Open the city gate quickly! Let them out..." While shouting, he anxiously waved his hands to signal his men to act quickly.

The prefect was afraid that Wei Xiaobao would raise his spear again, so he immediately hid under the battlements of the city wall and dared not show his head.

His heart beat rapidly, all the muscles in his body were tense, and he was so nervous that he could hardly breathe.

He kept shouting "Open the city gate", hoping to get rid of the crisis as soon as possible.

Upon hearing the prefect's order, the Qing soldiers blocking the road at the city gate made way and the city gate slowly opened.

Wei Xiaobao led everyone out of Sizhou City smoothly.

Soon after leaving the city, he met Hu Guozhu, who was supposed to pick up Ma Bao.

"Madam, you and the young master are safe and sound. This is great. Thank you for the blessings of the Bodhisattva and the spirit of the prince in heaven."

After Hu Guozhu finished speaking, he looked at the people in the team again. He didn't recognize Li Zicheng and Hu Yizi, and he didn't see Ma Bao. He asked Chen Yuanyuan, "Madam, where is General Ma Bao?"

Chen Yuanyuan replied hesitantly, "I didn't see General Ma Bao?"

"Madam, who saved you?" Hu Guozhu asked in surprise.

"It was my son-in-law Wei Xiaobao who brought people to rescue us." Chen Yuanyuan also knew that Li Zicheng was the mortal enemy of the Prince of Wu's Palace and could not be mentioned in front of these people.

"Madam, are you talking about General Wei?" Hu Guozhu said in disbelief.

At this moment, Hu Guozhu was like a frightened groundhog, with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open enough to swallow an egg.

The reason why Hu Guozhu called him this was because when Wei Xiaobao was the wedding envoy escorting Princess Jianning to Yunnan, he once received the title of General of the Plain Yellow Banner.

"General Hu, how are you? Have you thought of me?" Wei Xiaobao walked over with a smile.

Hu Guozhu said excitedly: "General Wei, how can I not miss you! We are relatives! Today's incident is all thanks to you. Not only did you save the mistress, but you also saved the young master. You are a great benefactor to our Wuzhou country!"

Wei Xiaobao quickly replied modestly: "Haha, you are too kind, too kind! But I almost escaped death by saving someone today! Your young master will become an emperor in the future!"

After hearing this, Hu Guozhu was delighted, but he still said, "Of course my young master will have a bright future!"

Wei Xiaobao took the opportunity to say, "In that case, I'll take a loss! How about this, you give me one million taels of silver as a reward for your hard work, and I'll hand the young master over to you, how about that?"

When Hu Guozhu heard this, his eyes widened immediately: "General Wei, are you kidding me?"

Wei Xiaobao said seriously: "Who is kidding you? I really want to sell the young master now!"

Hu Guozhu hurriedly explained: "General Wei, do you think I am someone who can afford one million taels of silver? Besides, how can the young master buy it with money?"

Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "Okay, I was just joking! I'm not interested in your young master, I only like silver!"

A Ke was listening to their conversation and thinking to herself: "Did I really guess wrong? This man is actually a greedy guy! It seems that he should not be a good person... No, he seems to be Xiao Bao. His voice and expression are very similar to Xiao Bao. But there must be something wrong with him?" Thinking of this, she couldn't help but doubt whether her judgment was correct.

"Oh, brother-in-law, you saved your own brother-in-law and yet you ask me, your brother-in-law, for money. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?" Hu Guozhu had a painful look on his face. He knew that Wei Xiaobao was the second best at cheating people out of their money and no one dared to claim to be the best. He had no choice but to play the family card.

"Stop, stop. My A Ke has never called your prince daddy. How can you be considered as related to her? Besides, even if they are my parents, the money is clear. I, Wei Xiaobao, am famous for valuing money over relationship. If you want to take your young master away today, don't even think about it without one million taels of silver." Wei Xiaobao sneered.

"Brother-in-law, why are you so unkind? You want money, but I don't have that many banknotes on me." Xia Guozhu said helplessly.

"Go home and get it. I'll wait for you." Wei Xiaobao crossed his arms over his chest, looking as if he had the upper hand over the other person.

"If the country is gone, how can there be a home?" Xia Guozhu rolled his eyes.

"After all this time, what you mean is that you have no money, right?" Wei Xiaobao asked again.

"I really don't have any money." Xia Guozhu answered straightforwardly.

After hearing this, Wei Xiaobao pointed at Wu Yinglin and said, "It's easy to deal with the lack of money. My Hutou and Tongchui are still in need of a book boy. This is the one. He has a handsome face and is an expert at laying out and grinding paper."

When the people from Wuzhou who came to meet him heard this, they were furious and drew their swords, ready to fight to the death. They believed that letting the young master be a servant was a great humiliation, which not only insulted the young master himself, but also slapped the entire Wuzhou Kingdom in the face.

Xia Guozhu quickly stopped his men from their impulsive behavior and reminded them that this place was not far from Sizhou City. If a gunfight really broke out, it would be of no benefit to either side.

"Brother-in-law, if that's the case, then let's do this! Considering our relationship as relatives, I can offer you 500,000 taels of silver, but the prerequisite is that I must take the mistress and the young master away with me." Xia Guozhu said seriously.

"Five hundred thousand taels? Humph! Forget it. I'm in a good mood today, so I can be generous for once. Your young master can take it away, but my mother-in-law must not be handed over to you. Otherwise, I won't give you any." Wei Xiaobao responded in a firm tone.
