Fordler raised his head and looked at this scene. For a brief moment, he disappeared into the darkness.
Fordler had to admit that he didn't have Bai Yuanfei's ability. He could break out of the encirclement without anyone noticing, but he couldn't. Now the encirclement around him was getting smaller and smaller.
Immediately afterwards, he started his own action. There was not much hope in front of him, but Fordler was not someone who was waiting to die. He adjusted his physical condition. Just now, he was as dull as a stone, and now he is as strong as an animal.
He shifted his position and took advantage of the rockery operation. There was a bit of extravagance when building the city lord's palace. The courtyard was very large, with small bridges and flowing water, and cloisters and rockeries. This place had completely become Fordler's killing ground.
Avoid obstacles and harvest lives along with them.
Song Bokang had appeared in person to preside over the siege, his face dark and ugly.
Hundreds of people gathered together, but they were still unable to catch the enemy, and they couldn't even touch the enemy's shadow. When did his subordinates become so embarrassed?
There was such a loud commotion outside, so Li Xingzai would not fail to respond. He was not asleep yet, so he walked out when he heard the noise outside. As a result, he was stopped as soon as he reached the door.
"Your Highness, there are thieves committing murder outside, it is safer for you to stay here," the guard said.
Li Xingzai curled his lips. He had not been able to step out of the yard these days, and he was used to such words.
"Where did the thief come from?" Li Xingzai asked.
"Yes..." The guard stopped talking, paused and said, "Safety is important. Your Highness, please go back and rest."
Li Xingzai was blocked and went back, and his mood was naturally not happy. The key was that now he was almost like a deaf and blind man. There was a lively fight outside, but he had no idea what was going on.
He waited for an unknown amount of time, and every minute and second was a huge torment for him. At this time, the courtyard door suddenly opened, and Song Bokang walked in dragging his robe.
"Your Highness, please take a look outside." Song Bokang.
"Hey, I can finally go outside and take a look. This is really unexpected, but will it be dangerous outside?"
Li Xingzai sneered, and as soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, the smile on his face froze.
Fordler was being held in custody, his body dripping with blood, and he was obviously seriously injured.
"Your Highness, take a good look at this person. Do you know him?"
Li Xingzai raised his head and saw Song Bokang's cold face.
…
While Fordler attracted everyone's attention, Bai Yuanfei had successfully sneaked out of the city lord's palace, climbed over the city wall, and returned to Qinchuan Pass overnight.
The next morning, there was some light in the sky, and Bai Yuanfei returned to Qinchuan Pass safely. Without taking a breath, he and A Xi went to see Cheng Dalei.
In the past few days after Bai Yuanfei left, Ah Xi was anxious. He didn't care much about this mission. The key was that he finally had a chance to show his face, so he must not mess it up.
Cheng Dalei came to the study yawning and was startled when he saw Bai Yuanfei. He was filthy, his face was covered with black mud, his hair was knotted and tangled, and he smelled bad.
"How could it be like this?" Cheng Dalei.
"The master is indeed wise and powerful, and he knows things well. You guessed right, something happened to Li Xingzai."
"Okay, it's better not to say flattery." Cheng Dalei waved his hand. Seeing Bai Yuanfei's haggard expression, he pushed a cup of tea in front of him: "Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
"The ambitious Bokang of Song Dynasty did not want to relieve the siege of Chang'an at all. Instead, he wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, waiting for the city of Chang'an to be broken. He promoted Li Xingzai to the throne and held the emperor under his command to command the princes."
"What!"
Cheng Dalei was startled. The sleepiness he felt in the morning disappeared, leaving only shock. He knew that Song Bokang would not have any good intentions, but he did not expect that the other party's ambition would be so great.
Li Xingzai could understand this kind of thing as soon as he thought about it. But for Cheng Dalei, it was indeed a bit difficult to understand.
He sat there, his mind racing, digesting the matter. After a long time, he raised his eyes and said, "What is Li Xingzai's plan?"
"Of course he wants us to rescue him. Now Li Xingzai is almost under house arrest, and his movements are monitored every day."
Cheng Dalei nodded: "It is not easy to rescue people from Liangzhou City, but there is no need to worry about this matter. Since he is under house arrest, Song Bokang will definitely be reluctant to kill him. We can discuss it in the long run."
"Master, Song You Canal is still in our hands, why not exchange Song You Canal for Li Xingzai," Ah Xi said.
Cheng Dalei curled his lips: "It's impossible. Li Xingzai is in his hands. Even if you kill his biological father, he won't hand him over."
"Master, this matter must be urgent. Fordler is still in their hands." Bai Yuanfei said: "In order to cover me, Fordler deliberately attracted their attention and killed many people. Now he is caught by them.
, I still don’t know whether it’s life or death.”
Cheng Dalei frowned. Song Bokang would not kill Li Xingzai, but he might not kill Fordler. He was still very good at killing chickens to scare monkeys. If Fordler hid in Song Bokang for a day, he would be even more dangerous. But he thought
It is not easy to rescue people from Song Bokang.
"Master, let's just trade Song Youqu for Fordler. Fordler is of little value to them anyway. Song Bokang will definitely be happy if he can get his son back."
"Nonsense!" Ah Xi immediately scolded: "You don't know the value of Songyou Canal in our hands. How can you exchange a Rong tribe for them?"
In fact, Ah Xi knows better than Cheng Dalei about how superiors control their subordinates. It is self-evident that Fuderer and Song Youqu are more important. When Song Youqu fell into his hands, it put shackles on Song Bokang, but in exchange for
Fordler actually doesn't have much value.
Bai Yuanfei should not have given Cheng Dalei this choice, because the words of rejection could not come out of Cheng Dalei's mouth. Otherwise, if word spread, the boss would have a reputation of only caring about profits and not caring about brotherhood, which would damage Cheng Dalei's reputation.
That's why Ah Xi scolded Bai Yuanfei right away. He could be known as ruthless, but Cheng Dalei couldn't.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Dalei waved his hand and said: "Hey, no matter what, we are all brothers. Regardless of the Rong empire, we must save them."
Ah Xi said: "Master, don't you think about it seriously? If anything is said here, I guarantee that only the three of us will know about it."
Cheng Dalei rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't say this anymore. Call He Shen over quickly and let's talk about how to exchange hostages."
Ah Xi lowered his head in silence and said no more. Bai Yuanfei's face was filled with ecstasy and he said, "I'll go find Master He. I have quick legs and feet."
"Okay, okay, you should rest for a while and find someone else."
