King Qi was tied up by Wuhua Da and sent to the stronghold.
This was a result that King Qi had never imagined.
Because he felt that there were only one or two hundred people on this mountain. A hundred of them were well-trained Imperial Guards wearing armor and carrying crossbows. Wouldn’t they be easy to capture?
As a result, he thought wrongly. The mountain road was too narrow to ride a horse, so he had to walk, and he could only pass one or two people at a time.
Not only did he step into a pit and be rescued by the Imperial Guards at his side, but as soon as he walked onto a narrow mountain road, a huge boulder fell down, dividing the army entering the mountain into two sections.
Then another big net came down from the sky, covering him and the three Imperial Guards around him.
Coupled with the fact that the bandits were condescendingly throwing rolling rocks and cold arrows at the foot of the mountain, the Imperial Army behind them had no choice but to retreat.
If you don’t take advantage of the weather, you will lose geography and people.
This is what caused this failure.
King Qi was extremely regretful at this time. If he had known that the moment his body fell into the trap, he would have listened to the words of the commander beside him and hurriedly retreated. Wouldn't it be gone soon?
Unfortunately, at that time, he was stubborn and turned a deaf ear to the Forbidden Army's statement that the mountains were high and the roads were narrow, making it easy for ambushes. He wanted to make some achievements to show his father, but he only knew how to continuously direct the Forbidden Army to advance rashly, but now he ended up with a
The scene of being captured alive by thieves.
If there was a next time, he swore that he would never make such a mistake again. Next time, he would definitely walk at the back, letting the Imperial Guards and others stand in front. If there was really danger, he would quickly escape... ahem, retreat quickly.
King Qi was dressed in silk and satin clothes. At first glance, he looked like a pampered and wealthy young man, but now he was tied with a rope and looked quite miserable.
King Qi was escorted by two minions to Xiao Juyi Hall. Only the leader of the largest village was called Juyi Hall, and all the others on the top of the mountain were called Xiao Juyi Hall.
He kept struggling and shouted: "You bunch of rebellious officials and traitors who have caused trouble, do you know who this king is?!"
The two minions were stunned when they heard his shout: "Are you a prince?"
King Qi was stunned for a moment, still wondering how they knew?
At this moment, a dark-faced man with not too much hair but an unkempt beard came over and looked at King Qi and asked: "You are the one who wants to lead the army into the mountain with the intention of annihilating us?!"
King Qi looked at the unshaven, black-faced man and said very forcefully: "I tell you, those who have sense will release me soon. If the army in the city gets the news that I have been captured by you, they will definitely send troops immediately to wipe you out."
This little cottage!”
Inside Fengzhou Castle
Among the inns
Xu Qing and Xiao Ye read the information report on the table together: "King Qi was arrested?"
Xiao Ye nodded: "Yes, is it time for dinner?"
Xu Qing calculated the time: "It's time to have lunch."
Xiao Ye asked: "What to eat for lunch?"
Xu Qing said: "I heard that Fengzhou has a good assorted chicken dish. Why don't we go and try it together?"
Xiao Ye stood up and said with great anticipation: "Hurry up, hurry up. To be honest, brother Xu, I have long wanted to change the taste of the dishes in the capital."
Xu Qing walked out and saw Long Bing'er walking towards her.
Long Bing'er looked at Xu Qing and asked, "Have your people been captured by bandits?"
Xu Qing nodded: "King Qi has been arrested. Do you want to eat assorted chicken? Brother Xiao is treating me."
Xiao Ye turned back to look at Xu Qing, a little confused: "Ah? Did I invite you?"
Long Bing'er looked at the two people who were discussing what to eat for lunch and said in disbelief: "The prince has been arrested, do you still want to eat assorted chicken?"
Xu Qing said: "Do you know that if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools?"
Long Bing'er nodded and said, "I know, but what does this have to do with you going to eat assorted chicken?"
Xu Qing said: "If you don't eat well, how can you have the strength to save people?"
Long Bing'er asked curiously: "Aren't you afraid that the bandits will kill the prince if you arrive late?"
Xu Qing spread his hands and said: "If they really want to kill them, it's too late for us to go over now. If they plan to be hostages, can't we rescue them at any time? In this case, what's the difference between going early and going late?"
Long Bing'er said: "Then I'm going to eat assorted chicken too."
afternoon
Among the cottages
The bald head master heard that the black-faced man had captured a prince and led his people down from Funiu Mountain.
The boy imprisoned in this small mountain is a big fat sheep, and the army must come to rescue him.
With such a person in their hands, the officers and soldiers would definitely not dare to attack rashly even if they sent troops to the mountain!
This thing is now the only capital their village has to negotiate with the army!
But the bandits in the entire village stayed until the afternoon, waiting left and right for no one to come.
The bald boss was already a little impatient. He looked at the black-faced man and said, "Didn't you say that the army will definitely come?"
The black-faced man quickly shook his head and said, "Brother, I didn't say that!"
The bald boss asked in confusion: "You didn't say that? Who said that?"
The black-faced man said: "It's... the guy who calls himself the king said it. He said that as soon as the army gets the news that he has been arrested, they will immediately attack the border with troops and send troops up the mountain."
Bald man: "Do you think it takes three hours to get here from Zhoucheng?"
The black-faced man: "..."
From here to Zhoucheng, three hours is enough for two round trips...
Now he wonders if he has been deceived by that guy. Is the guy who claims to be the king really a prince?
Is he really important to the army?
Why have they been on guard for a whole day and not even seen a single officer or soldier?
King Qi was imprisoned in a thatched house
There are two bandits guarding the outside.
Li Si looked at Ma Liu who came out of the thatched house and asked: "Didn't he bark very urgently just now? Why is he silent now?"
In the past few months, Li Si has been a bandit, but this is the first time he has seen such a noisy prisoner screaming non-stop. However, the master has ordered that this kid's status is not ordinary, he may be a prince, and such a big bargaining chip cannot be killed casually.
, it really gives me a headache.
Ma Liu waved his hand: "I gave him two punches, and he became more honest."
Li Si asked: "Who is the leader just now? This boy might be a prince. The soldiers at the foot of the mountain may send troops to the mountain at any time. If you give him two punches like this, won't you be afraid of death?"
Ma Liu said stiffly: "What's wrong with the prince? Prince and General Xiang Ning... Ning... Ning, what are you doing?"
Li Sidao: "I'd rather have the seed."
Ma Liu nodded and continued: "Yes, princes, generals and prime ministers have the talent! I became a bandit and I risked my life. No matter what, I will die. Anyway, if I can feed myself and the whole family is not hungry, I will die."
If you’re not afraid, what else is there to be afraid of?”
Li Si thought for a while and said: "Although I say so, there is still a difference between beheading and lingchi after being caught by the army."
Ma Liu stiffened immediately and looked at Li Si: "Is it too late for me to go in and say sorry to him?"
