Chapter six hundred and six people live a breath(2/2)

Luo Lie was still lying down and replied, "Tell him, let Li Xilu deliver your two breakfast first, and I will go up and accompany him."

Gu Ting told the people above the person in Mexican dialect.

Not long after, he put down a bamboo basket from the entrance of the cave. There were two bowls of vegetable soup, several bread and two dishes of butter in the bamboo basket. "Damn it, what's the breakfast? Can you two be used to it?" Luo Lie couldn't help but swear.

Qin Gang said: "All have become prisoners, so there are so many things to pay attention to? It's good to have stuttering and drinking."

Gu Ting said, "Brother Luo Lie, don't ask too much. How can Mexicans make anything? Xiao Tinger probably saved these foods."

Luo Lie said: "Since you don't care, I won't force it anymore. When we go out, I'll treat you two to a big meal."

Qin Gang smiled bitterly and said, "Do we still have a chance to go out?"

After hearing this, Luo Lie sat on the bed with his butt. After a while, he sighed: "Brother Bin must have had an accident on the road, otherwise they would have taken action at night."

Gu Ting's mouth twitched twice and said, "Will Brother Ming send someone to save us?"

Luo Lie suddenly changed his face and said angrily: "Zhao Daming and Li Xilu are in the same group! If it weren't for him, would we have fallen to such a level?" After roaring, Luo Lie climbed up the ladder.

In the living room on the first floor, there were about a dozen Mexican men eating breakfast around the dining table. Gu Ting was right, the food that the Mexicans ate was exactly the same as what they were given.

Luo Lie did not see Tanlia's figure, but saw Li Xilu sitting on the sofa, and two bowls of porridge and a few snacks were placed on the coffee table in front of him. "Where is the bathroom? You have to rinse your mouth if you can't brush your teeth. Besides, I'm still holding my urine in my stomach!"

After going to the bathroom, Luo Lie sat opposite Li Xilu. Li Xilu pointed to the remaining bowl of porridge and said, "Eat whatever you want. It is definitely better to cook in the hall of New York. To be honest, Mexicans are really stupid. The kitchen is always messy, and the food they make is hard to swallow."

Luo Lie took the porridge bowl without any hesitation and drank it all in three or five times. He picked up a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth, and said in a vague way: "This porridge is too low to cook, and there is also this snack. If it is placed in the hall, it will probably be poured directly into the trash can."

Li Xilu had finished eating, and lit a cigar at this time, sprayed a sip of cigarettes, and said, "Luo Lie, tell me the truth. Are the words you said yesterday sincere?"

Luo Lie pinched another piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he replied, "What do you think?"

Li Xilu said: "That 1,800 tons of opium is real, but the idea you came up with to persuade Cao Bin and Dong Biao was to create a chance for them to rescue you, right?"

Luo Lie swallowed the snack in his mouth and said, "You are smart! You may not know that Brother Biao has a Mauser 98 rifle in his hand, which is extremely accurate, and Brother Biao's shooting skills are amazing. He can hit him wherever he points one hundred meters away. If he can trick you and take me out of the outdoors, he may not need Brother Biao to do it. Just the rifle in Brother Biao's hand can kill you all."

Li Xilu nodded and said, "I believe that Cao Bin and Dong Biao can stand firm in the chaotic west, which must be of extraordinary significance. But why did you tell me these words? If you say it, will I still be fooled?"

Luo Lie shrugged and smiled, "If I don't say it, you won't be fooled. I saw it last night. These little guys I'm thinking about can't deceive you at all."

Li Xilu said with great interest: "How did you see it?"

Luo Lie said: "I can't say it, that is, I feel it. When I lay on the bed and analyzed it a little, I verified that my feeling should be right."

Li Xilu asked with a smile: "A little analysis? I am very interested in listening to your analysis. Can you tell me?"

Luo Lie said: "You have been dormant under Mr. Gu's eyelid for three years. There are not many people who can deceive Mr. Gu, but you did it. This shows that you, Li Xilu, is not ordinary. Also, the whole plan you set is indeed very exquisite. If it weren't for the people from the Kingsoft Military that failed to intercept Brother Bin, I'm afraid you don't have to talk to me and invite me to breakfast now. I, Luo Lie, may have been thrown into the sea last night by you to feed sharks. So, my little tricks cannot deceive you."

Li Xilu nodded and smiled, "The analysis is good. Since you can't deceive me, what are you going to do next?"

Luo Lie said: "I still want to advise you not to fantasize about luring Brother Bin into the trap you set up. They are not me, they are much better than me. Moreover, Brother Bin is the kind of person who would rather die standing and die than live on his knees. So when they decide to break in, there will inevitably be a bloody battle in this villa."

Li Xilu said: "What I mean by what you mean is that I may lose?"

Luo Lie said: "You are unlikely to lose, because I know that in this villa, you not only set up more than a dozen gunmen, but also set up mechanisms for Bin Ge Biao Gobiao. However, what I want to say is that even if you win, it will definitely be a tragic victory. These more than a dozen gunmen should be your core force. You must not bear to see them all die under Bin Ge Biao's gun after a bloody battle, right?"

Li Xilu said: "You are right, but those who achieve great things should not be limited by minor details. If necessary sacrifices are inevitable, then you have to face them calmly. Are you right?"

Luo Lie said: "That's right! It's inevitable that you can sacrifice. But what is inevitable? You can achieve your goal without bleeding, so can you be called "invisible?"

Li Xilu said: "Of course not. However, Cao Bin and Dong Biao are reluctant to show up, and your suggestions cannot be passed on to him. How can I avoid this bloody battle?"

Luo Lie sighed and said, "Yes, I lay on the bed of the light you treated me last night and thought, Brother Biao and the others are in their forties, most of their lives have passed, and they enjoy what they deserve, and what they deserve is brilliant, and what they deserve is brilliant. If you fight to death, you can still delay more than a dozen lives to support them. But I am not worth it! I am only twenty-one years old, my life has just begun, I have not been sleeping with a woman, and I just died like this. How unfair do you think I have to be? Also, they can hold more than a dozen people to support me, but in the end I will definitely be killed by you like you crushed an ant to death. How frustrating it would be!"

Li Xilu smiled and sighed, "Oh! Who said it was not? As you said, this result will not benefit anyone. But what can I do?"

Luo Lie said, "There is still a solution, I am afraid that you will no longer believe me because I lied to you last night."

The mind reading technique I had learned came in great use at this time. Luo Lie was able to determine from Li Xilu's words, body movements and other factors that Li Xilu was a man who was very self-respecting and good at using brains and tricks but did not like to use force. Therefore, he dug a series of pitfalls for Li Xilu since last night. Today, he admitted frankly that he was trying to deceive Li Xilu, which successfully aroused Li Xilu's interest while satisfying Li Xilu's conceit. Then, it would be natural to gain Li Xilu's ultimate trust.

For Li Xilu, he was a master of deception and concealment. Otherwise, he would not have been dormant under Gu Haoran's nose for three years and successfully deceived Gu Haoran's trust. Therefore, those tricks that Luo Lie used last night could not deceive Li Xilu's eyes. However, he believed the fact that Luo Lie still had 1,800 tons of goods in Cao Bin's hands, and was aroused of a strong interest.

This is why I had breakfast together early this morning. Li Xilu's purpose was to destroy Luo Lie's psychological defense line so that he could cooperate with him sincerely. But unexpectedly, before he could exert his strength, Luo Lie's psychology seemed to show signs of collapse.

Li Xilu said calmly, "There is no complete trust, nor absolute doubt. The relationship between trust and doubt is like a seesaw. If there is more trust, doubt will inevitably be reduced, and vice versa. So, you don't have to worry about whether I am willing to believe you. What you should do is to say your thoughts."

Luo Lie shrugged his shoulders, curled his lips, and said, "What you are worried about is that after taking me out, he was attacked by Cao Bin and Dong Biao without any consequences, thus wasting the trap you set up in this villa. That's all, you should bring me a pen and some paper, I'll write a letter to Brother Biao, and then you paste the letter at the door of the villa."

Luo Lie continued: "If Brother Bin and Biao come to Miami, they will definitely know that I have been locked up here by you, then the letter will definitely be taken away by Brother Biao. After reading the letter, I dare not say what decision they will make, but I promise that this letter will be written with sincerity. Of course, after the letter is written, it will be handed over to you for review. If you think there is no problem, then post it outside the door."

Luo Lie's suggestion was exactly consistent with Li Xilu's idea.

Since that's the case, Li Xilu doesn't need to care whether Luo Lie's signs of psychological collapse are true or not. If he is willing to write this letter, then let him write it. Anyway, after writing it, whether he is satisfied or not, it will be up to him to decide whether he can post it. "Come on, come, bring a pen and paper!" Li Xilu realized that the cigar in his hand had burned a long piece of ashes.

After getting the pen and paper, Luo Lie said: "It is easy to write a letter, but it is not easy to write a letter that can touch others with sincerity. I have never read much. After coming to the United States of America, I spent most of my time in the circus, so, this letter is a not simple task for me. When I go back, I will write it first. What can I write in the end? Perhaps the most important point is what I can eat at lunch. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Xilu replied with a smile: "I will cook myself at noon and make an authentic Chinese meal for you."

Luo Lie smiled and gave Li Xilu a thumbs up.

When he returned to the basement, Gu Ting saw the paper and pen in Luo Lie's hands and asked in confusion: "Brother Luo Lie, who are you going to write to for paper and pen? Brother Luo Lie, you can't surrender to Li Xilu, otherwise, you will have to be wisely sweeping the floor in Anliang Hall!"

Luo Lie smiled bitterly and said, "But if we do not surrender to him, then the three of us will have to die young."

Gu Ting said unwillingly: "Even if you die here, it's better than being pointed at the back and scolded, right?"

Luo Lie still smiled bitterly and replied, "If you really die, no matter how much others praise you, you won't hear it, right? What's the point? Xiao Ting'er, you are five or six years younger than me, how can you not cherish your life so much? Think about it, if you die here, how sad your parents would be? Do you have the heart to see the sadness of their white-haired people sending black-haired people?"

Gu Ting was speechless for a moment.

But Qin Gang, who was standing beside him, shouted: "Man lives for a while, and the tree fights for a piece of skin. Luo Lie, we may have misread you."

Luo Lie sighed: "I also want to live out a breath and fight for a piece of skin, but if death is used as the price, then we have to consider whether it is worth it. I lost my father when I was very young, and when I was seven, I lost my mother again. It was my grandfather who had worked hard to raise me and sold my property to study in the United States, hoping that I could stand out and shine. However, after coming to America, I spent five years in the circus and then fell into the world. I was very sorry for my grandfather's eager expectations. If I couldn't go back alive, what would I have to face to meet my father and mother in the nine springs?" Luo Lie spoke very slowly and his tone was extremely heavy. Qin Gang was speechless for a moment when he heard this.

At this moment, the sound of people speaking came from the hole above the head.

Gu Ting translated: "Li Xilu was worried that we would affect your letter writing, so he wanted to detain us separately."

Luo Lie seemed to be still immersed in his words just now and responded negatively: "Then you just go up!"

Gu Ting took a step forward and took the lead on the ladder. Qin Gang followed him. The moment he stepped on the ladder, he turned his head and said to Luo Lie: "We advise you to think about it carefully. There is no way back in the world. A mistake will lead to eternal regret!"

Luo Lie rolled his eyelids and replied, "Yes, think about it, people cannot be resurrected when they are impulsive, there will be no future."

Li Xilu did not break his promise. At noon, he personally cooked four dishes and one soup, and sent someone to call Luo Lie.

Without Gu Ting as the translator, Li Xilu's subordinates spoke very stiff and crappy English. Luo Lie took his old tricks to understand the man's meaning, but directly rejected Li Xilu's kindness: "Tell him, I'm too lazy to climb up and down, just let him deliver the prepared food."

In order to achieve his goal, Li Xilu took generous treatment of Luo Lie's rudeness, and according to Luo Lie's wishes, he sent four dishes and one soup with a bowl of white rice to the basement.

Luo Lie did not break his promise. After Gu Ting and Qin Gang left the basement, he carefully prepared his draft. After he had eaten and drunk enough, he immediately spread the paper on the bed of light, and wrote a letter of thousands of words. The letter did not mention the secret about Li Xilu and this villa, but only explained the fact that his life was hanging on the line. The other content was that Xiaozhi moved him with emotion and persuaded Cao Bin and Dong Biao not to start a war with Li Xilu, and it would be better to sit down and talk, and not to interfere in other people's affairs. The wisest choice was to make his own fortune. Finally, he also talked about the 1,800 tons of opium. Luo Lie persuaded in the letter: "It will burn it in vain, it will only pollute the air. It is better to sell it. Anyway, this batch of goods will not be transported back to the Qing Dynasty."

Li Xilu reviewed it repeatedly but did not find out anything wrong, so he asked his subordinates to take the letter outside the villa and posted it on the gate of the iron fence.
