009 Captive up the mountain
Just when Xiao Letian was fighting Shi Dakai, the atmosphere in the mountain temple was so tense that it was almost tense. People were anxiously waiting for news from morning to night. The food and water brought out of the breakout this time were very limited. They were hungry and nervous, and several injured people were already unconscious in the morning.
Master Qing San was lying on the low wall and staring at the movements under the hillside. The sand beside him was full of bows and arrows. As long as he found that the bandits showed signs of attack, his beaded arrows would never show mercy.
Manager Fan brought his daughter and maid to help him boil water to bandage and change the medicine for the wounded. Hu Niu was so busy that her face turned red and she looked out of the low wall from time to time. She was expecting that handsome little white face would come back with a miracle.
"Dad, do you think Brother Xiao can be safe?"
"Don't talk nonsense, if you call Mr. Xiao... you will definitely be safe. Mr. Xiao is very talented and has a Bodhisattva heart. How can such people be dangerous if they have a help from others?" The old man didn't know how to comfort his daughter, so he could only use such magical things as a rhetoric.
Just as the sun was noon, the Saimen on the white stone in front of the temple gate suddenly shouted, "Someone, some bandits are approaching." Then the sentry under Master Qing San also shouted, "There are bandits, they are single, as if they are sending us a letter."
A bandit suddenly came on the gentle slope. He stopped fifty steps away from the temple gate and rushed forward and shouted, "Listen to the people in the temple, you have good luck, Mr. Xiao is willing to exchange your life for your safety... This is Mr. Xiao's letter. If you keep it, we will be welcome to the money at the foot of the mountain..." After saying that, he bent his bow and arrows, and a feather arrow tied with letters was nailed to the mountain gate.
Master Qing San rushed over in three or two steps, shook the letter and read it in one look at it. After reading it, he slapped his thighs, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Brother Xiao... He exchanged his life for all of us..." After that, he covered his face and leaned against the temple gate, and handed the letter to Manager Fan.
Master Qing San is really an alternative among the bannermen. In his eyes, there is not so much difference between Manchu and Han. As long as you are a good man, he admires no matter what ethnic group. In a melee last night, he even likes Lewis, a big-nosed foreigner, much more, let alone Xiao Letian, who speaks a man of official words.
Shopkeeper Fan could not help but read half of the letter, and tears flowed with tears in his eyes, "Mr. Xiao... Mr. Xiao asked the bandits to kidnap him. He is exchanging his life for our safety... We owe a favor that we have never paid back for the rest of our lives..."
The crowd was in an uproar. The older ones were wiping their eyes and tears to ask for blessings from all over the sky. The young and irritable temper jumped up at that time and shouted to grab Mr. Xiao back, especially the ten musketeers who showed off their might last night. They jumped with red eyes and scolded the scout and wanted to rush out of the mountain gate.
"Come back, you guys, are you ten of you going to die? Mr. Xiao is hostage in the hands of bandits. Are you going to kill him?" Manager Fan was so angry that he kicked the ten men several times, then stopped the impulsive young man.
In just one night, these ten young people who made great contributions have regarded Xiao Letian as their master. Their respect is really from the heart. The ancients had the cleverness of the ancients. Last night, the power of the ten-man musket team was seen by big figures such as Fan Jiangui, Qing Sanye and other big names. Their good days are coming.
It can be foreseen that in the future, these ten men in the Fan family caravan will definitely be the core force of the guards. Each of them will even bring a group of apprentices. At that time, the salary increase, the wife, and the land in their hometown will not be a dream. Updated as soon as possible
The ancients were deeply influenced by Confucianism, and their gratitude to Xiao Letian was sincere. They really wanted to replace him with an accident this time.
There was a lot of sadness in the mountain temple. In the corner of the main hall, Hu Niu grabbed Xiao Letian's Flying Tigers' leather jacket and cried to tears.
Even the big-nosed foreigner Lewis prayed sadly, "God, Xiao is my first believer in China. Please bless him..."
No matter how sad everyone is, people are very clear that they can't help but rescue Mr. Xiao, not to mention that everyone doesn't know where the bandits' hamlet is. The top priority now is that the caravan will immediately arrive in Yi County and leave this dangerous forest. Please come for more and faster chapters.
The caravan quickly set off. At the moment he left the mountain temple, Master Qing San looked at the continuous mountains and sweared in his heart, "Brother Xiao, you must be patient. When I go back, I will ask for instructions to dispatch troops. I will definitely eliminate this wave of damn bandits and wait for me to save you..."
Shopkeeper Fan was also secretly comforting his daughter, "Daughter, don't worry, dad will raise money when he goes back, and go to Lulin's friend to help build a bridge. Even if you exchange it for money and silver, I will redeem Mr. Xiao..."
As for Lewis, who kept praying to God, he also thought in his heart, "What exactly is the God-inspired that Xiao wants to tell me? How many secrets do he have? After leaving the mountains, I must not be able to break away from these Chinese people, and this Xiao must be the focus of the US intelligence service..."
When the caravan accelerated to leave the forest and headed towards Yi County, Xiao Letian had also been captured at Shi Dakai's base camp, Taibaiding in the deep mountains.
The roads in the mountains are not easy to walk. They climb up and down, turn left and right, and many places require people to get off the horse and walk forward. Some paths are even hidden in the dense woods. Without people familiar with the road, they have no way to find them.
Xiao Letian had been lost for a long time. He just felt through the general direction that these Taiping troops were leading him westward and moving towards a denser place of the mountains. When Xiao Letian, who was dizzy and indifferent, saw the sunset in the sky, his destination finally arrived.
"Damn, isn't this Thunder Cliff? The main city of the Tauren?" Xiao Letian walked around a bush and suddenly opened his eyes. There was a cliff dozens of meters deep under his feet. A suspension bridge came into his eyes. Opposite the suspension bridge was a mountain that seemed to have its head cut off. Updated at the first time.
That's right, surrounded by the mountains in the distance, five lonely peaks were cut off all the time. The largest flat peaks were three or four basketball courts on one side, and the smallest one could also lay down three rows of wooden houses side by side.
"This place is called Taibaiding. Legend has it that Taibai Jinxing stays overnight in Taihang. If you can't find a clean place, you can use your magic power to flatten the five peaks, and these five flat peaks appear. This is surrounded by mountains, and the five peaks are connected by cable bridges. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is a hiding place given to us by God!"
When Xiao Letian turned around, he found Shi Dakai standing behind him, with a faint smile on his face. However, the anger in Xiao Letian's stomach had not yet subsided, so he just bowed to him, and then stepped onto the cable bridge and walked in first.
It’s not that Xiao Letian is rude, nor that he doesn’t like this beautiful scenery. Xiao Letian has actually thought about it along the way. More and faster chapters are invited. As the name suggests, Xiao Letian himself is a very open-minded person, but he is well versed in negotiations. For the current situation, being a little bit constrained can win more resources.
That night, in order to show his unyielding spirit, Xiao Letian did not attend the celebration banquet on Taibai's top, but set up a simple table in his wooden house. The dishes were not very exquisite, but they were just big fish and meat. The wine was also the most ordinary roasted knife, but this was the most sumptuous meal that Xiao Letian ate after traveling through time.
After drinking and eating, Xiao Letian lay on the bed and slept for a full sleep. No matter how the sky fell, the earth was sinking, anyway, he had to make up for the energy that had been exhausted these two days.
I slept until dawn. When Xiao Letian opened his eyes, he found that the warm water for washing his face in the room was ready. More and faster chapters were invited. Xiao Letian was happy at that time, "I'm raising me as a pig. I'll raise it for the New Year for another two months. Will I kill and eat meat?"
Xiao Letian shook his head with a self-deprecating voice, which was officially beginning his life in the bandit's nest.
In three days, Xiao Letian had a tight face for three days, but these bandits treated him very much. There were delicacies and wild games every time. There were always two smart little bandits who were bodyguards when they went out. Moreover, he would go wherever he wanted in the village. As long as he didn't go down the mountain, Xiao Letian would do whatever he wanted.
On the evening of the fourth day, Shi Dakai finally came to visit. At this time, Xiao Letian knew that he had made a move, and it would be no longer a negotiation if he was nervous.
"The prince forced me to the mountain. He really thought I had any great power that could be in the world. Do you really thought I could change this world? Let me tell you the truth. The Qing Dynasty is not so easy to overthrow. I hope to continue the old path I have passed? You should save money..."
Shi Dakai didn't say anything but bowed deeply. "Mr. I always said that he was an overseas orphan, and I was very angry with the Qing Dynasty. I think it's impossible for Mr. to return from overseas to join the imperial examination to get a job, right?"
"You said that our path has gone to an end. Of course I admit it, but from another perspective, don't look at the Qing Dynasty just won, Zeng Guofan and the Beijing court are in full swing..." Shi Dakai shook his head, "I think they probably don't have much road. How long can the court that persists in this country be sold?"
Talent? It is worthy of being a senior intellectual. People say that Shi Dakai is the most sensible prince in the Kingdom of Heaven. Now it looks really different. Xiao Letian touched his nose, which was a sign that he had already started to make trouble in his heart. He suddenly asked Shi Dakai.
"Prince... I just ask you one thing, do you want to be the emperor?" Shi Dakai was stunned and then said with a wry smile. "Last year, I pretended to die in Dadu River and saw through everything. The road I said about the past has gone through. What I want now is to walk the new road I said about the opening of my eyes to see the world..."
"Okay!" Xiao Letian slammed the table and stood up. "Okay, okay, since you are mentally prepared for failure, it's easy..."
Shi Dakai grabbed Xiao Letian's hand and said excitedly, "What's the trick of sir? How much soldiers, horses, money and food should be used? Although my kingdom of heaven has been defeated, the remaining power is still there. As long as the sir speaks about a hundred thousand troops, I will gather you easily..."
Ah? Xiao Letian was so choked to death if he didn't let Shi Dakai do it. You... How many soldiers are you hiding? He opened his mouth and had a hundred thousand troops. Xiao Letian stared at Shi Dakai with a look of obvious dullness.
Shi Dakai made Xiao Letian feel a little embarrassed. He thought the military advisor was suspicious of his words. "Actually... in fact, 100,000 is a bit exaggerated. After all, the Heavenly Kingdom often encircles the people... However, as long as I give me time, with the reputation of my Wing King, it is absolutely no problem for me to gather 30,000 elite soldiers for the military advisor..."
Xiao Letian looked at Shi Dakai with a determined face and swallowed a saliva with a gurgle, thinking to himself that you don’t want to follow the old path? You are definitely going to raise the flag and rebel again!
"Prince, calm and calm... The new path I am talking about does not start with raising the flag. I now want to write a book, a book that everyone in the world can understand..."
"Book! Write a book?" Shi Dakai's hand shook and almost broke Xiao Letian's hand bone.
Chapter completed!
