Deep in a ravine at the northern foot of Maobu Mountain, there is a shack made of bamboo, wood and thatch.
After getting into the shack, there is a cave six or seven feet deep inside, a fire pit is being burned in the ground, there are some old pottery pots and bowls on the ground, and there is a spread of hay in the corner for people to sleep on.
This was originally the residence of two forest guards in the mountains. A shack was built outside to prevent rainwater from flowing down the cliff wall and pouring into the cave. However, by this time the two forest guards and the slaves who were still somewhat loyal to the Feng family had already
They were killed and thrown into the ravine, while Feng Yi, Feng Liao and Kong Xirong were tied up tightly and thrown into the corner of the cave.
Seven or eight strong men were gathered in front of the fire pit at the entrance of the cave, staring at a moose that was being tortured until the fat dripped into the firewood pile and sizzled. Swords and bows were scattered on the ground.
Feng Yi's hands were tied behind his back, and his head and face were pressed against the cold stone ground. The smell of elk meat was enticing. His stomach was extremely uncomfortable after being hungry for two days, and a ball of rotten hair was stuffed in his mouth.
A smelly rag, I wanted to curse but couldn't make a sound, I couldn't vomit even if I wanted to, I just stared at my brother Feng Liao resentfully.
These soldiers who had killed thousands of swords were originally a group of criminal bandits in Yuezhou. After being caught by the state government, they were going to be convicted and executed. It was Feng Liao who saw their martial arts skills and offered money to buy them out as slaves.
Hu use.
Who could have imagined that after they escaped from the city with these soldiers, they were tied up by these bastards who killed tens of millions, and were imprisoned in this barren cave. There were three loyal slaves who were unwilling to betray their masters for glory.
, were killed by them.
"Boss, it's been a day, and Li Qilu hasn't come back yet. Is the deal with Han reliable?" A short and thin man with a sinister eyebrow asked, staring at a dark-faced man sitting opposite.
"The land deeds carried by the Feng family brothers are of little use if they fall into our hands, but Han has 20,000 acres of fertile land. How can he not be tempted? And God bless me, I will take the Feng family's case
Leave it to Zheng Chang to preside over, and only the people from the Third Prince's side can interfere with these matters - we can only deal with people named Han for this matter." The black-faced man said in a low voice.
"I mean, what if his surname is Han and he still remembers the Feng brothers?" asked the rat-eyed man.
"Don't doubt that the man named Han is a ruthless master. Even if the Feng brothers had not escaped from Lanting Lane and betrayed Zuo Si's secret spy, the man named Han would not be merciful. Now we will send this gift to
In his hands, what we ask for is not too much, so don’t worry about anything," the black-faced man said, "Besides, Li Qi donkey is very clever. If he senses something is wrong, he will take the opportunity to escape."
The wind howled outside the cave. Although the autumn air was crisp outside, the cave was stuffy and humid. They were afraid of being spotted by hunters and villagers entering the mountain, so these people could only hide in the cave and did not dare to go out and wander around easily.
"Crack" came a slight sound, which sounded like a wild beast in the mountains trampling on the branches while passing through the ravine, but the black-faced man still stood up vigilantly, kicked a scar-faced man who was lying next to him and snored, and said: "
Mazi, get up and go out with me to have a look, there seems to be someone passing by outside..."
The scar-faced man stood up reluctantly, picked up his sword and bow and followed the black-faced man out. As soon as he walked out of the shack, he saw dozens of sharp arrows whizzing towards him. The black-faced man saw the opportunity very quickly and shrank back.
, rolled to the ground and hid within the shelter of the shack, while the scar-faced man was hit by seven or eight sharp arrows. He fell to the ground and screamed, blood gurgling out of the blood hole, and he was about to die before his eyes.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The black-faced man crawled and crawled into the cave, but he was still hit by a sharp arrow that penetrated the shack and hit his right calf. The arrow cluster made of fine steel was extremely sharp and shot directly through him.
The leg bone is drilled out from the other side.
"Guard the entrance of the cave, don't let anyone attack!" The black-faced man was so painful that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he broke the arrow shaft and pulled out the arrow. He shouted for people to go to the entrance of the cave. He had already seen ten people in the morning light.
Several figures were rushing towards them. He took a long bow, nocked an arrow and shot towards the entrance of the cave.
However, the dozen or so people who rushed forward were all wearing armor and holding iron shields. Several people in the cave held bows and shot at the leading man. They saw that man holding a shield to cover his face, throat and other vital parts that the armor could not cover. In other places,
Although he was hit by three arrows, it could not slow down the opponent's forward speed at all.
"The armor the opponent is wearing is too sophisticated to be shot through! Take a knife, quickly use it to block the hole!" the black-faced man shouted.
The black-faced man shouted, but the others were in despair. When they escorted the Feng brothers to escape from the city, they only wore a simple leather jacket under their robes in order not to be spotted by the guards of the imperial army.
A, they didn’t have a big shield in their hands, only a long sword and a wooden bow. They didn’t expect to be forced into the cave and made no other preparations. How could they contend with a dozen heavily armored elites?
Knowing that the Feng family's tribe in the cave was highly skilled in martial arts, Tian Cheng took the lead, holding a shield each with Lin Haizheng, and led a dozen heavily armored scouts to attack forward. The Feng family's tribe threw burning firewood at the entrance of the cave, while Tian Cheng only used the iron shield to protect it.
Holding his head and face in place, he slashed forward with a straight-ridged sword quickly and hard.
The entrance to the cave is narrow, and more than 20 people on both sides are crowded together. There is no room to move. The key is not to let yourself fall. Withstand the pressure and keep cutting and tearing the gap, the victory or defeat will be decided.
Seeing that eight members of the Feng family were hacked to death on the spot, and the surviving ones were tied up and thrown into the corner of the cave, Tian Cheng gasped for breath and ordered his men: "Please come here, sir, everyone here has been dealt with."
Tian Cheng was stabbed several times at the entrance of the cave. His thighs, left ribs, and arms were all sore from the cuts, but the armor plates were not cut through. Apart from some bruises, there were no other serious injuries on his body.
Tian Cheng picked up the straight-spine knife that the Feng family had thrown on the ground. He saw that the broken corner of the blade was extremely sharp. It was not as sophisticated as the swords they used. He didn't expect that it couldn't cut through the woven armor he was wearing.
Iron armor pieces.
Seeing Gao Shao, who had come in from behind, staring at his armor with envy, Tian Cheng laughed and scolded: "Next time you charge in the front, I will let you wear this armor."
"Thank you then. I'll ask you for a pair of armor myself, so I won't take it from you." Gao Shao said with a smile.
His specialty is agility and good archery. If he really wants to charge into battle and fight the enemy head-on, he also pays attention to his long-term strength. In this aspect, he is not as good as Binghu Tiancheng.
To be honest, he didn't know how Tian Cheng's diseased rice seedlings looked like they could withstand two Feng family members cutting at each other in the narrow entrance of the cave without retreating even half a step.
"Captain Tian, Captain Gao Xiao, please free us quickly. Han Qian is a brother enough and has not been deceived by these ambitious bastards. He still knows how to send you to rescue us..." Feng Yi tried his best to spit out the words in his mouth at this time.
Rags shouted hoarsely, as if grasping at a life-saving straw.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Feng, we don't dare to advocate letting you go without authorization. We'll wait until my master comes over." Gao Shao chuckled, squatted in front of Feng Yi and said with a smile.
"Where is Han Qian? Please invite him over quickly. I have great benefits for him." Feng Yi shouted.
At this time, several more figures entered the cave, led by Han Qian and Xi Yin.
"Han Qian, Han Qian, you don't want to embarrass me and Xirong, do you? Please help us untie it, our bodies are numb," Feng Yi saw Han Qian and shouted, "You search these dog slaves
The house deeds, land deeds, and these house deeds and land deeds have not yet been transferred to the Feng family. The officials in charge, our Feng family, have all taken care of them. Although my Feng family has suffered, as long as we two brothers come forward, you
You can transfer these land deeds to anyone you want!"
At this time, Gao Shao handed over several house deeds and land deeds that were almost stained with blood. Han Qian did not take them and said: "You keep them first and hand them over to His Highness later," and then said to Feng Yi and Kong Xirong.
, "Although you still left Lanting Alley in the end and revealed the secrets of Guo Que'er and Chun Shisanniang, I don't blame you, but whether you live or die is determined by His Highness. I can't let you go privately.
, I hope you can understand."
"We are brothers, Han Qian, you can't send us to death." Feng Yi shouted while rolling on the ground.
Tian Cheng and Gao Shao were also quite helpless.
"You should save your strength and beg for mercy from His Highness; Brother Feng Liao will understand that only His Highness can save your lives." Han Qian smiled bitterly and helped Feng Yi and the others up from the ground. He used a dagger to cut the ropes that bound their hands, letting them
Guo Que'er brought water and dry food and let Feng Yi, Feng Liao and Kong Xirong eat before they set off on the road.
While others were supporting Feng Yi, Kong Xirong came out of the cave. Feng Liao dragged behind him and lowered his voice and said to Han Qian: "Master Han, you can tell your highness that we have no intention of absconding and were kidnapped out of the city by this ambitious tribe!
"
Han Qian glanced at Feng Liao. He had been kidnapped for two days. At this time, Feng Liao was also in a miserable state, with messy and dirty hair, but his expression was much calmer than that of Feng Yi.
Thinking of Feng Liao leading people to block Feng Yi at the alley, and Kong Xirong taking away the domineering attitude, Han Qian felt ridiculous at first, but also felt a bit sad. It is really unimaginable that at this moment, when there are too many hidden dangers and major disadvantages have not been eliminated,
How profound will the negative impact of Feng Wenlan's case be on Dachu?
"Master Han should know at this time that our three cousins have no one else to rely on except Master Han." Seeing Han Qian's silence, Feng Liao thought he had been persuaded by him and continued to persuade.
"I said at the beginning that if your Feng family has a way to survive, you can only bet on His Highness. You don't believe it. I still say this now. If you two brothers can survive, you can only bet on His Highness!
"You told me that there are none, I just want to die quickly," Han Qian said, "However, I am curious about one thing. After you picked up Feng Yi and Kong Xirong, why didn't you go to the prince for rescue, but told the Chuzhou Pavilion
In contact?"
"It was Yin Peng, the governor of Chuzhou Pavilion, who took the initiative to find us before this." Feng Liao said.
"Oh?" Han Qian glanced at Feng Liao in surprise, thinking that Feng Liao had reached this point and there was no need to lie to him. This was really surprising.
