Gu Chen intentionally involved Qi Heng's Ninth Legion, and of course he had his own purpose.
In fact, it was easy to convince Qi Heng, and there was no need to ask Guo Jue as a lobbyist.
Now Qi Heng's status in Feng Kingdom is already very high, he is a dignified army commander. The only thing he lacks is his reputation.
This time, Mengluo's son was kidnapped by bandits, which is not a trivial matter. If he can really successfully rescue the person, it will undoubtedly increase his reputation a lot.
How could Qi Heng miss such a good opportunity to gain fame without any effort?
Gu Chen's estimation was absolutely correct. When he found Qi Heng and asked the latter for help, Qi Heng didn't think much about it and agreed without hesitation.
That night, as soon as Chen time passed, Meng Luo followed the kidnapper's request, took the gold and silver borrowed from Tang Yin, and went to the agreed place to pay the ransom. With him were four retainers dressed as grooms, and another
, is Montaigne dressed as a servant.
The intention of the kidnappers was unclear, they said they wanted a ransom, but who knew if they had other plans. He was worried about letting his father go alone and insisted on following him. In the end, Munro couldn't resist him and had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Mengluo, Montaigne and six other people took five cars in total. Except for the car of the Meng family and his son, the other four cars were filled with gold and silver. There was no conversation on the way. After leaving the city, they successfully arrived at the place where the ransom was paid.
This is a clearing in the forest, twenty steps square, surrounded by dense woods. When they arrived, someone was already waiting here.
They were four men in black clothes of different heights. They were all dressed in black, with black thin-soled fast boots on their feet. Their faces were covered with black scarves. Only two shining eyes were exposed on their bodies.
.
Seeing these four people, Montaigne, who was driving the car, felt his heart tremble. Even without the use of insight, he could already feel that each of them had good spiritual martial arts cultivation just through the spiritual pressure that naturally radiated from their bodies.
He glanced at the four men in black for a moment, then jumped out of the carriage, raised his head and asked, "Do you have my young master in your hands?"
None of the four people responded. After a while, when Montaigne couldn't help but want to ask again, one of the other people came out. He took two steps forward and asked in a low and cold voice: "What do we want?"
Have you brought all the things?"
Sure enough, he was a kidnapper! Montaigne took a deep breath, pointed behind him, and said: "Twenty thousand taels of silver, two thousand taels of gold, not a penny, they are all in the car."
After hearing this, the other person's eyes brightened up and emitted a strange light. It was the light that opened his eyes after seeing money.
This is not an act, but an instinctive reaction. Twenty thousand taels of silver and two thousand taels of gold. They have never seen so much money since they were young. To say that they are not moved at all is definitely a lie.
human.
The man in black at the head paused for a moment, then looked Montaigne up and down and asked: "Who are you? The person we want to see is Montaigne."
Montaigne chuckled and said: "What you want is money. Now that I have brought the money, can you let him go? Where is my young master being imprisoned? Tell me quickly!"
"We won't tell you anything until we see Munro!" The leader of the men in black was firm.
Montaigne secretly became suspicious. These kidnappers didn't care whether the gold and silver they brought were real or fake, so why did they repeatedly ask to see his father? Could it be that they were just drunkards who didn't care about drinking and wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate his father?
Before he could speak, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and Munro walked out of the car. He shouted to the man in black opposite: "I am Munro! I have already brought you all the gold and silver you asked for."
Come on, now, you should let Meng Chong go, right?"
The four men in black looked at each other, and then nodded one after another. The leader raised his palm and slapped it three times in a row. With the crisp sound of slaps, two more people dressed in the same clothes walked out of the woods on the side.
Man in black.
One of them was still carrying a Yuan Gu Longdong package in his hand.
After the two men came forward, the man carrying the package shook his arm and threw the package directly in front of Meng Luo and Montaigne. The Meng family and his son were shocked, and Meng Luo subconsciously asked: "What is this?"
Montaigne didn't ask any more questions. He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He quickly squatted down and unwrapped the package. What was inside was a bloody human head. The expression on the head was ferocious and terrifying, but it was vaguely visible.
It is the severed head of Meng Chong.
Seeing his brother's head with his own eyes, Montaigne's head buzzed, as if he had been struck by lightning, and he froze on the spot.
At the same time, Munro on the side also saw clearly the decapitated appearance. The old man shivered, as if his strength had been drained instantly, and he collapsed to the ground on the spot.
"You just want money, why do you want to kill my brother?" Montaigne lowered his head. Others could not see his expression clearly, but they could see drops of water dripping from his face to the ground.
It can also be judged from his trembling voice that he was extremely sad and angry at this time.
"He has seen our appearance, so killing him is a last resort." The leader of the men in black said lightly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"You" Montaigne suddenly raised his head, his fair face was already covered with tears, his eyes were red, and there was a fierce light as sharp as a knife. He squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Everyone deserves to die!"
As he spoke, his squatting body on the ground rushed forward like an arrow. Before he could reach the man in black, his sword was already in his hand and had been spiritualized.
In front of and behind the man in clothes, the one who cuts Huashan hard is a heavy chop.
Bang! He was fast, and the leading man in black was not slow either. He drew his sword, spiritualized it, raised his sword to block, all in one go. The two spiritual swords collided together, making a harsh golden sound, and a ball of sparks shot out.
It looks particularly eye-catching in the dark night.
"Today, you will all die!" The two spiritual swords were pressed against each other, and they did not separate for a long time. Montaigne gritted his teeth and roared at the man in black. While speaking, spiritual energy emitted from around his body, covering his body.
Shrouded in layers, in an instant, the spiritual energy turned into spiritual armor, tightly wrapping his head and torso. On the other side, the leading man in black also completely transformed into spiritual armor almost at the same time. Then, the two launched a desperate fight
of fighting.
Montaigne and the man in black started to move, while the four attendants guarded Montaigne. One of them reached into his arms, took out the cannon, lit the trigger, and heard a muffled bang in the sky.
A large ball of dazzling fire burst out.
"Kill!" The remaining men in black either drew their knives or drew their swords, and rushed towards Munro. The fight between Montaigne and the men in black turned into chaos between the two sides.
war.
The four disciples brought by Meng Luo are all top-notch masters in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Everyone's spiritual martial arts are not weak, but the spiritual martial arts of the man in black are obviously better, and there are more people than the disciples, so the scene
The upper hand has been firmly established.
Let's talk about the signal cannon released by the disciples, which attracted the Ninth Legion, which had been waiting several miles away. Its legion commander Qi Heng personally went into battle and rushed over with five thousand heavy cavalry.
Before the heavy cavalry arrived at the scene, when they walked into the woods, they were attacked by men in black. The man in black who first appeared was holding a spiritual gun and jumped down from the treetop while he was still in mid-air.
, the spirit gun has swept out.
Two crisp popping sounds were heard in the helix of the ear, and the two heavy cavalry who were rushing at the front were hit in the chest by the spirit gun. They screamed and both dismounted their horses, and their bodies flew back. After landing, the two
The man struggled for a while, but he couldn't stand up.
The power of the spiritual spear of the man in black was quite strong, and thanks to the thick armor they wore, they were able to save their lives. However, after the two of them fell to the ground, the life-saving armor became a heavy burden.
With my own strength, I can't even sit up.
Seeing an enemy sneak attack in the forest, the heavy cavalry immediately stopped advancing, quickly shrank, gathered into a group, and formed a battle formation that was both offensive and defensive.
By the time they got into position, the men in black who had just made a sneak attack were nowhere to be seen. For the cavalry, the woods were definitely one of their nightmares. Not only was their high mobility greatly weakened, but the trees also greatly blocked their sight.
.
The sounds of fierce fighting in the middle of the woods could be vaguely heard here, but the subordinates stopped moving forward. Qi Heng became furious and shouted at the people around him: "It's just a few kidnappers. Why are you forming a battle formation? Force them away."
Rush over!"
He gave the order, everyone moved up and down, and the five thousand heavy cavalry began to charge towards the center of the dense forest.
As soon as they moved, the men in black appeared again. Some came out from behind the trees, some emerged from the haystacks, and some jumped directly from the trees.
As the men in black appeared one after another, screams from the heavy cavalry team also came one after another. From time to time, some people were hit and fell off their horses, lying down on the ground, struggling to stand up again.
Before they had even taken twenty steps, there were no fewer than a hundred heavily armored knights who had fallen from their horses. Qi Heng was angry and furious. He separated his men in front and ran to the front.
He also wanted to see who the gangsters who could make his carefully trained heavy cavalry suffer successive losses were, and what extraordinary abilities they had.
He took the lead and rushed to the front. Not far away, a man in black locked onto him. With two whistles, one of the two men in black fell from the tree, and the other shot out from the grass, one up and one down.
The attacks were divided across the head and lower abdomen.
The two of them arrived suddenly, and the speed of their attacks was also fast. If it were anyone else, they might be caught off guard, but Qi Heng's spiritual power was too strong. He sat on his horse, motionless, waiting for the two men in black to attack.
The attack was about to come close, and the Nine-turn Soul-Severing Sword in his hand swung up and down as fast as lightning.
Bang, bang! Even though he was swinging the sword casually, the power hidden in it was astonishing. The man who sneaked up from the grass was shocked by the heavy sword. His wrist was numb, and he stepped back several steps, and from the treetop
The one who jumped down was knocked back two meters high by the horizontal knife. How did he jump from the treetop and was bounced back?
"Hmph! How dare a young man compete with the sun and the moon?" Qi Heng sneered, waving his arms, and the wind was released to the top of his head.
