Xia Yu wanted to save Xia Chengen by himself, Xia Fu said beside him: "Young Master Yu, although we don't have as much ability as you, but we also have some strength, we will go with you to save the master." ”

Most people are grass on the wall and fall with the wind, now Xia Chengen has been caught by robbers, life and death are uncertain, if he dies, the most likely successor to the head of the family is Xia Chengyou.

Xia Chengyou and Xia Chengen are mortal enemies, now that you have helped Xia Chengen, if Xia Chengyou becomes the head of the family in the future, with Xia Chengyou's character of retribution, he will definitely settle accounts with you.

Thinking about it like this, the people of the Xia family have made up their minds, silence is golden, and they are silent.

Only Xia Fu was loyal and willing to help Xia Yu rescue Xia Chengen.

Xia Yu looked at these clansmen and these relatives, and his experience of the hot and cold world became more profound.

At this time, Su Xue'er walked in and said, "Brother Yu, there is one more me, I will go with you." ”

Xia Yu, Su Xue'er, and Xia Fu decided to go to Heifeng Mountain to rescue Xia Chengen, Su Xue'er felt that the strength of the three people was too thin, she found Yuan Sihai, and Yuan Sihai handed over all the guards of the City Lord's Mansion to Su Xue'er, and fully cooperated with Xia Yu to rescue Xia Chengen.

Xia Yu said to Yuan Sihai: "City Lord Yuan, thank you for your kindness, the soldiers are fine, not the many, I only need two hundred people." ”

Xia Yu selected two hundred elite soldiers from the guards of the City Lord's Mansion and took them to Black Wind Mountain with Su Xue'er and Xia Fu.

Heifeng Mountain is located at the junction of Daliang and Anyi, the terrain is dangerous, and it is occupied by a group of robbers, robbing passing merchants and endangering one party.

Yuan Sihai and the city lord of Anyi organized forces many times to exterminate this gang of robbers, but this gang of robbers was too fierce, and several encirclement and suppression ended in failure.

On the way to Black Wind Mountain, Xia Yu asked Xia Fu about the gang of robbers in Black Wind Mountain.

Xia Fu told Xia Yu that there were more than 200 robbers in Black Wind Mountain, although the number was not too many, but all of these robbers were martial artists.

The bandit leader is nicknamed "Blackbeard", and he is a strong man in the fourfold cultivation of the Qi Martial Realm, and he has two brothers under him, who are the second master and the third master, and they are also the cultivators of the Qi Martial Realm.

Xia Yu asked Xia Fu, "Blackbeard, how did they kidnap my father?"

Xia Fu said: "The road in front of Heifeng Mountain is the only way for Daliang to Anyi, and our Xia family's caravan must take this road if they want to go to Anyi. A few days ago, the lord sent someone to escort the goods along this road, but as a result, the goods were robbed by robbers in Heifeng Mountain.

"In just one month, the robbers of Black Wind Mountain have robbed us of eight trips of goods. If this continues like this, our Xia family's business will not be able to do, so the master decided to personally escort the goods.

"I was with my lord that day, and as soon as we arrived at the foot of the Black Wind Mountain with our goods, a group of robbers rushed out and wanted to rob our goods. The old man reported his identity and said that he wanted to talk to Blackbeard and make friends.

Unexpectedly, when those robbers heard that the master was the head of the Xia family, they were elated, so they went up and caught the master, and the goods were also robbed by them. It's all because we are useless and fail to protect the master. ”

Listening to Xia Fu's words, Xia Yu felt that something was wrong, and asked, "Before my father became the head of the family, did the robbers of Black Wind Mountain often rob the Xia family's goods?"

Xia Fu said: "At that time, the Xia family gave Blackbeard money on a monthly basis, and Blackbeard did not harass our Xia family's caravan after receiving the money. The Xia family spent money to buy peace, and the clansmen also recognized it. ”

Xia Yu frowned and said, "After my father became the head of the family, he won't give this money to Blackbeard?"

Xia Fu said: "After the master became the head of the family, he didn't want to give this money at first, but then after we made it clear to the lord about the stakes, the lord agreed. Unexpectedly, Blackbeard disagreed, and he wanted to double the protection fee, eight thousand taels of silver a month.

"This is purely a lion's mouth, this trade route brings less than eight thousand taels of silver to our Xia family in a month. The lord wanted to negotiate the price with Blackbeard, but Blackbeard ignored the lord and recognized it, and if he wanted to go from his Black Wind Mountain, he had to pay eight thousand taels of silver a month.

The old man felt that Blackbeard was bullying people, and he didn't pay the protection money in a fit of anger, so he caused the latter things. ”

"In the past, how much protection money did the Xia family pay to Blackbeard every month?" asked Xia Yu.

Xia Fu said: "It used to be eight hundred taels of silver a month. ”

In the past, Blackbeard asked for a protection fee of 800 taels of silver, but as soon as Xia Chengen became the head of the family, the protection fee rose to 8,000 taels of silver, an increase of ten times.

Xia Yu pondered for a long time and said, "It seems that this matter is not as simple as imagined. ”

Su Xue'er said beside her: "No matter what simple and complicated he is, when we see Blackbeard, we will ask him to release him, if he knows each other, let Uncle Xia go, and our well water will not interfere with the river water." If he doesn't know each other, let's raze his Black Wind Mountain, and you're welcome!"

Xia Yu, Su Xue'er, and Xia Fu came to the vicinity of Black Wind Mountain with two hundred City Lord's Mansion guards. Xia Yu asked Su Xue'er and Xia Fu to lurk in the woods with the guards, and he went up the mountain alone to meet Blackbeard.

Xia Yu is not a murderous person, if there is anything that can be resolved peacefully, he will try his best to solve it peacefully, he wants to meet Blackbeard, see what Blackbeard's attitude is, what he wants to do.

Su Xue'er and Xia Fu were a little nervous, and said, "Those robbers are very cruel, it's too dangerous for you to go up the mountain alone." ”

Xia Yu was calm and said: "It's okay, those robbers can't hurt me, if there is any accident, I will launch a signal flare, and you will come to answer me when the time comes." ”

Xia Yu took two signal flares and put them in his arms.

Su Xue'er looked at Xia Yu and said, "Brother Yu, you have to be careful." ”

"I know," Xia Yu showed a bright smile and rode alone towards the Black Wind Mountain.

The terrain of Black Wind Mountain is dangerous, and there is only one sheep intestine path leading to the cottage halfway up the mountain. As soon as Xia Yu walked to the intersection of the path, two people jumped out of the grass next to him.

"Stop, who?!"

The two minions were armed with machetes and shouted at Xia Yu menacingly.

Xia Yu looked at these two minions and said, "I am Xia Yu, the young master of the Xia family, and I want to see your boss." ”

The two minions looked at Xia Yu, shook their heads, and said, "Come with us." ”

The two minions took Xia Yu and walked up the sheep intestine path to the cottage halfway up the mountain.

There were groups of three or five in the cottage, gathering some minions to practice martial arts there, and when they saw Xia Yu, their eyes were a little vicious, looking at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu glanced at it, most of these minions were the second and third cultivators of the Yuanwu Realm, and there were very few that exceeded the fifth level of the Yuanwu Realm, and for Xia Yu, there was no threat.

The cottage is built on the mountain, there is a cave, the cave is very large, black, like the big open mouth of a giant beast, exuding a cold atmosphere.

The two minions took Xia Yu to the cave and said, "Come in with us." ”

Xia Yu followed the two minions into the cave, and a torch was lit in the cave at intervals, shining a flickering firelight.

The inside of this cave is very large, the terrain is very complicated, Xia Yu followed the two minions around the circle, and finally came to a hall, and saw a fire burning in the hall, and there were a few rough men sitting.

Standing tall in the first place was a man in his thirties, with a pockmarked face and a thick black beard, who looked very vicious.

Xia Yu strode forward, arched his hand towards the big man, and said, "Your Excellency is the blackbeard of the great master of the Black Wind Mountain, right? I am Xia Yu, the eldest young master of the Xia family." ”

Blackbeard stroked his beard, looked at Xia Yu, with a little contempt in his eyes, and said, "It turned out to be a milky doll, what are you looking for Uncle Ben?"

Xia Yu was neither humble nor arrogant, stood there, and said, "Big boss, I heard that my father was kidnapped by you." ”

Blackbeard smiled and said, "What kidnapping, don't say it so ugly, I'm inviting Master Xia to our cottage as a guest." ”

Xia Yu said: "It turns out that the big boss is to invite my father as a guest, and that father has been bothering you for several days, so it's time to go back." ”

Blackbeard said: "Didn't I tell you, it's okay to ask Master Xia to go back, and bring eight million taels of silver." ”

The robbers beside Blackbeard shouted, "Yes, take eight million taels of silver, not one tael!"

Xia Yu looked at these robbers, showing his teeth and claws, as if he wanted to eat people.

As a human being in two lives, Xia Yu has seen more big scenes, and such a few little thieves can't scare him.

Xia Yu said: "The Xia family can't come up with so much money. ”

Hearing Xia Yu's words, those robbers immediately blew up their nests, jumped up, and shouted at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu stood there, looking at them coldly, without fear.

Blackbeard didn't expect Xia Yu to be so calm at such a young age, waved his hand, stopped the noise of the robbers, and said: "Boy, if you can't come up with the money, your father will have to stay in our cottage as a guest." ”

Xia Yu said: "The big boss, who is planning all this behind the scenes, asking you to detain my father?"

Blackbeard was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Xia Yu to see all this, "Boy, we have rules on the road, and we can't casually disclose the information of the employer." ”

"Okay, since it's a rule, then I'll abide by it," Xia Yu said: "Big boss, can I see my father now?"

"Yes," Blackbeard beckoned to one of the robbers, "second, take him to his father." ”

This robber, who is called the "second child" by Blackbeard, is the second leader of Heifeng Mountain, named Hua Qianxiu, obviously a man, but he paints eyebrows, embroiders flowers and shoes, and is dressed as a woman, which makes people get goosebumps.

Hua Qianxiu knocked on the orchid finger, pointed at Xia Yu, and said in a girlish manner: "Come with me." ”
