Chapter 203: Negotiation

Li Chengfeng instructed them to sit on the ground in a dry place by the pool, and wait for someone from the Blue Lion City to greet them. In this chaotic situation, when Li Chengfeng paid attention to a few apes, he disappeared from one of them, and even carried away the bamboo pocket, leaving only the pine burn, which was inserted into a stone crack in the forest mouth. The fire jumped high, making a beeping popping sound.

Li Chengfeng and Li Kecheng sat side by side on a large rock, looking at Li Kecheng carefully, his face was blue and empty, his cheeks were high, and his eyes were blank, as if he had suffered a serious illness. A group of soldiers staggering on the ground were even more unkempt, their clothes were broken, like a group of screamers, and their bodies smelled strange, even Li Shoubei was the same.

After asking carefully, I learned that when Li Kecheng and the others were taken into the Hungry Tiger Cave by the ape, they had already been poisoned by pythons, although they were not severe, but they were even frightened and passed out.

When they woke up, they were locked up in a large stone hut. Only Li Kecheng was imprisoned in another place, and every day outside the iron gate, there were a few men in strange costumes who sent some tea and food, and no one knew where he was, how could he be imprisoned in the stone house. When asked the big man who delivered the food, he never said a word, and the location of Li Kecheng's prisoner was also a general situation.

Only once, Li Kecheng met a woman with a mask of human skin, and asked himself where the gold was hidden? Until tonight, Li Kecheng suddenly saw a man open the gate and go in, handed over a note, which read: "For Li Gongzi's sake, all will be released!" As soon as the note was read clearly, the ape suddenly took out a cloth pad, blindfolded him, stopped his waist, picked him up and left, until he was outside the iron urn valley, put down the ground, and untied the Meng Pa on his eyes. I saw that I brought a team of soldiers outside the valley, and was driven here by the Hercules-like monster, driving pigs and sheep.

Thinking about the past is like having a nightmare, and everyone is weak and has no courage.

As soon as Li Kecheng asked Li Chengfeng about the situation, he was told by Li Chengfeng that he had tried to rescue him, and he understood a little bit about it. But how to meet with Lady Rakshasa several times, and venture into the Jade Lion Valley with himself, Li Chengfeng couldn't explain it to him in detail for a while.

Li Chengfeng and Li Kecheng waited for a long time in the rock pass, looking at the sky, the fifth watch was coming to an end, and they didn't see the people of Blue Lion City coming. Li Chengfeng understood in his stomach that since Mrs. Rakshasa was rushing to release them, she would never regret it again, Li Kecheng didn't know the inside story, but he was secretly anxious. The two stood up and stood on a high place looking into the distance.

After waiting for a long time, I could hear the faint sound of people and horses shouting in the distance.

Li Chengfeng looked back and saw that the pine fire inserted in the crack of the stone had been burned out, and there was only a little ember left, so he hurriedly leaned over to check a bunch of dead branches, and the little embers burned the dead branches. Li Kecheng understood his idea, and he also picked up a bunch, tore off a thin vine from the tree and tied it tightly, and it became a torch. He lit the fire and jumped on a high place to shout to people on the way to neigh, shaking back and forth.

Sure enough, there was a firelight on the other side, and the sound of hooves seemed to rush towards this side. It didn't take much effort, and suddenly there was a fire like a dragon outside the road, and a long team of people appeared. It seems that this group of men and horses, who used to walk in the dark and did not raise fires, saw this fire, and only then lit the lights.

The group of men and horses came in a whirlwind, getting closer and closer. The first two horses and two women left the team and galloped into the col. When I came to the front of me suddenly, it was Mrs. Yinghong and Luo Youlan.

When Mrs. Yinghong saw her husband looking like this, she was sad for a while, and she hid her face and cried. Luo Youlan didn't care about this, jumped off the horse, and when she arrived in front of Li Chengfeng, she didn't make a sound, only stared at him in the face, but Li Chengfeng was holding a torch made of dead branches in his hand, and the flames were so high that his face was blue.

Luo Youlan's face was full of resentment, and she whispered in his ear: "You turned around and looked in the mirror by yourself, and after a night of hard work, you vomited your eye sockets, what is the trouble?" After saying this, she stomped on her little sword boots again, sighed, gritted her teeth and said, "I really regret it, I regret that I shouldn't have asked you to deal with that female demon king alone, but half of you are willing to go with her!"

Li Chengfeng's face was hot, he had nothing to answer, and reluctantly said: "Why did you arrive at this time, and we are really in a hurry." ”

Luo Youlan's face was as cold as water, she ignored him, glanced at the ordinary prisoner-like soldier a few times, and asked, "Why is Lady Rakshasa missing?"

Li Chengfeng said: "I didn't come with me at all. At sunset, she had already left the Secret Valley, and I don't know where she went. As he spoke, a large group of people had arrived.

Mrs. Yinghong immediately issued an order, bringing more than a dozen empty saddle horses brought, and let Li Chengfeng, Li Shoubei and several leaders who were in distress ride, and the rest who were still able to walk followed the team, and those who were sick and could not walk took turns to carry them on their backs. The assignment was completed, and he whispered to Luo Youlan: "Sister, this kind of place can't stay for a long time. On the side of the Rakshasa Lady, a faceless one, how can we explain the gold we brought?"

Luo Youlan discussed with Li Chengfeng in private, and Li Chengfeng learned that more than 20,000 taels of gold had been brought, and the gold was beaten into gold bricks, each weighing more than 200 taels. Although there are only eighty or ninety gold bricks, they are very heavy, and many people need to take turns to carry them. It's easy to pick the ground, but no one delivers it, which is a difficult thing.

While discussing a solution, suddenly a feathered arrow flew through the ground and was inserted in front of Lady Yinghong, and a note was tied to the shaft of the arrow. Everyone was startled, and they looked up to see where the arrow came from, and it seemed to have shot down from the trees in the pine forest. But the moonlight was faint, the pine forest was dark, and there was only the sound of pine trees, and there was no sign of it.

Luo Youlan leaned over and pulled out the arrow, took off the note, and looked at it in the fire, only to see that it read: "I would like to give the Jade Lion and his wife Cheng Yi 20,000 taels of gold, and I hope to accept it." Lady Rakshasa "these words. Of course, Mrs. Yinghong also saw it, and said with a smile: "This female demon king is really strange, she has been making trouble for a long time, and she is so generous again." This is good, we are worried that there is no way to explain, the two of you don't have to be polite, the original burden is good. ”

Luo Youlan said to Li Chengfeng: "She told you about this a long time ago. ”

Li Chengfeng shook his head and said, "No, if she has already said it, why should I discuss with you how to explain it?"

Luo Youlan said: "This is her expression of spotlessness, and the friendship of the world is all on you alone." But ......"

Li Chengfeng rushed in her ear and said, "But how can we accept this batch of gold? In my opinion, the two words Cheng Yi on the note have something to do with each other, indicating the intention of persuading us to return to White Tiger City as soon as possible. I have many things to say, and I will tell you more when I go home. ”

Li Chengfeng, Luo Youlan, Li Kecheng, Mrs. Yinghong and others returned to Blue Lion City in the morning of the second day. All the way back to the city, it caused a sensation among the residents of Blue Lion City, and everyone said that Li Gongzi rescued Li Shoubei and forty-eight warriors. The men, women, and children of the whole city regarded Li Gongzi as a celestial man, and many residents stood along the road, clapping their hands and cheering.

As soon as Li Kecheng returned to the mansion, the gate was crowded with people. As usual, Li Kecheng should come out in person to comfort everyone, but Li Kecheng escaped death this time, thinking that he had lost his previous reputation, and he was a little ashamed to see his father, and his body was really tired, and the python poison was not clean, and he might still be doing things in his body. I had to come out and explain to everyone: "Master Li should recuperate well in order to recover, and I will meet you again in a few days." When they heard this, they dispersed.

Everyone ran around all night and needed to rest, Li Kecheng got out of trouble and went home, and the husband and wife and children naturally had some joys and sorrows. Luo Youlan, Li Chengfeng and his wife were isolated for one day and two nights, and there were also subtle and complicated small disputes, and the two did not rest upstairs, but started negotiations.
