Chapter 129: Hostages

"I say! I say! I say it all! ”

Frightened by the threat, he said everything he knew, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one.

……

Xiaoguang hurriedly rushed into the house and said to the man in white who was practicing calligraphy: "Young master! Oh no! Our new stronghold has been discovered! ”

Su Chengfeng slowly finished writing the words he was writing, put down his pen and looked at Xiaoguang, "Xiaoguang, if you are so reckless again, Aunt Yang will definitely scold you again if she knows about it."

Didn't you guess about the stronghold a long time ago? The main ones have already been withdrawn, don't worry. ”

Although he was dismissed by the young master, Xiaoguang still felt uncomfortable. This time the land movement opportunity is so good, they could have occupied more fertile land, and everyone could have lived a better life, but Zhou Xiang exposed not only 10,000 people in the fold, but also people in other places are not good to make big moves. The dog emperor will definitely investigate strictly, and business will stop for a long time after that. It's all to blame on the dog emperor's pups! What are you doing in Zhouxiang?

……

The assassin Meng Hongyuan who was caught in the government took some of it away, and I don't know if he found out anything, anyway, on the second day, all the people Meng Hongyuan was able to mobilize rushed to Zhouxiang.

Early in the morning of the third day, the whole county changed from the usual liveliness, and every family hid in the house and did not dare to go out. I heard that Meng Senjun wanted to use the families of those anti-thieves to force out the anti-thieves hiding in the mountains, Mo said that those thieves really came to fight with the soldiers of Meng Senjun's army, even if these 10,000 people were beheaded, they could make the county town bleed. They don't have a list to make up for this excitement.

When the sun rose and shone on the stone lions at the city gate, nearly a thousand strong men with a fierce spirit appeared at the city gate, and with them appeared the children they were dragging in their hands.

Meng Hongyuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw the people at the city gate.

He really doubted whether these people were from the previous dynasty or bandits in general. actually thought of exchanging the lives of children for their lives, not to mention that these people couldn't live, and the reputation of the former dynasty after this incident was really stinky.

"Let our family out! Otherwise, these children will die! One of the thieves shouted to the men on the wall. Pulled out the knife violently, and the two fingers of the child who stepped on it broke in response. The child immediately screamed in pain.

The other children cried out in fright.

Meng Hongyuan stood on a high place and looked at the children of all sizes, and hesitated.

He used to hear his grandfather and father tell that siege battles have always been above board, and the years on the battlefield have also been straightforward battles, when have he seen such despicable and shameless things.

"Eighth uncle, what are we going to do?" Meng Hongyuan looked at Meng Deyi consciously.

Meng Deyi's face is also not good-looking, and they are now in a dilemma. If they agree to exchange hostages, someone will definitely take the opportunity to step on their Meng family afterwards, if they don't care about the lives of those people. When the time comes, whether it is to appease the anger of the people or to show benevolence, the emperor is likely to push them out as a shield. But in any case, these children must not be allowed to have an accident in front of them.

Meng Deyi suppressed the resentment in his heart. Belly and Meng Hongyuan said: "Joining the army also knows that it is a dilemma now, but we have an advantage. We promised to change people first, and waited for them to leave and we went after them! ”

Meng Hongyuan felt that this plan was very good.

"Good! Let's change! But don't hurt your children's lives any more! Meng Hongyuan replied loudly.

The scar-faced man laughed out loud. "Hurry up and release your captive!"

"It will take some time for those people to come here in prison, and if you wait for another child, I will pay it back tenfold!"

The scene was quiet, except for the whispered sobs of the children.

Soon a group of people were pushed and shoved by the soldiers towards the city gate, and Meng Deyi said to the guards: "Go and bring a child who is about the same age as the finger that was cut off." ”

The guards responded. Soon a child was brought up in a shrill cry.

"Join the army and give them back your fingers!" Meng Deyi kicked the crying and breathless boy to Meng Hongyuan's side.

"Uncle Eight. I ...... "His knives were never aimed at the enemy, never at the children."

"Join the army, don't be a woman!" Meng Deyi unconsciously raised his voice.

Meng Hongyuan looked at Meng Deyi sternly, thinking that his grandfather asked him to listen to the words of the eighth uncle. When he closed his eyes and opened them again, he no longer hesitated.

"It's for you! If anyone is hurt again, I will pay it back tenfold!" Meng Hongyuan pulled the child who had just been able to peek out of the city wall, put his hand on the wall, stabbed him and threw him out of the city, and the boy's sharp cry made the people outside the city commotion. But no one kicked the child next to him anymore.

The gates slowly opened, and the men ran out of the city like crazy.

"Run to the mountains! Run into the mountains! Find a place to live as an outcast, don't get caught! ”

"Run! Don't look for us! ”

Dozens of strong men were arranged by the scar-faced strong man to go to the city gate and shouted at the people who ran out of the city.

Although those people were worried about the comfort of their families, they obediently ran towards the mountains in the distance. There are many mountains near Zhouxiang. As long as they don't get caught, there's a good chance they'll survive.

"Close the gates!" Meng Hongyuan ran out and shouted loudly.

"We've shown our sincerity, and now it's up to you!"

The scar-faced strong man was searching for his family in the crowd, and before he saw his family, he was immediately angry when he saw that the person who was running outside the city suddenly broke off, and just wanted to scold when he heard Meng Hongyuan ask him to let him go.

"Let twenty pass!"

As soon as the scar-faced strong man finished speaking, he pushed out twenty little girls.

The patriarchal thinking of big business has made them insist that male babies are more valuable than female babies.

Twenty girls staggered to the city gate and were led into the city by the soldiers waiting for the gate. Then another group of people went out of the city, and so on both sides exchanged hostages in an orderly manner.

"Child, you go quickly, otherwise you won't be able to run away!" A white-haired old man behind Scarface couldn't help but hurry as he watched as there were fewer and fewer children in his hands.

These people who were exchanged from the city did not all obediently run towards the woods, nearly a hundred old people came over and took their knives to replace them, anyway, they couldn't run, why not give the children the chance to live.

The scar-faced strong man saw his family run into the mountains and disappeared, and smiled bitterly: "I can't run away from the old man." ”

The old man sighed, "Okay, let us old guys accompany you." ”

After two more rounds, there were no more than 100 people left in the city, and there were only about 20 children with scar-faced strong hands.

"Retreat, retreat to the edge of the woods, let whoever survives leave it to fate!" The scar-faced strong man and the old people who persevered to the end slowly retreated with dozens of children, while Meng Hongyuan led people to quickly outflank them.

"The merchant dog will be destroyed! The revenge of killing the son has not been avenged, Lao Tzu has become a ghost, and he will not let go of Zhu Shikang, you dog official! The scar-faced man laughed and screamed, raising the knife in his hand and stabbing himself in the stomach.
