As dusk approached, the feeling of heat and dryness gradually dissipated. The sunset hangs in the western sky, and the afterglow spreads out, and there is a smoky red as far as the eye can see, and a rare breeze blows, mixed with the coolness of the river.

While Su Chen was waiting anxiously at the house, a neighbor from Dasuo Street finally passed by and sent a letter, saying that someone at the intersection had handed it to him.

"Finally there's movement." Su Chen hurriedly opened the letter and found that the content of the letter inside was very simple, and he asked him to meet at Shilidi outside the city at three o'clock.

The letter pointed out that he was not allowed to report to the official, he was not allowed to take anyone else with him, and he was only allowed to go alone, otherwise, he would be prepared to collect the body of the little girl.

Su Chen's expression was calm, and he planned to let only Bai Lang accompany him, who was strong in martial arts and should be able to deal with the Green Forest bandits.

In order to be insured, Su Chen also developed drugs, poisons, smoke, lime powder, etc. in the afternoon, and brought two daggers with him, both of which were quenched with toxins, although they would not seal their throats with blood, but the poisoned person would lose his resistance in a short time.

Su Chen's martial arts practice is short, and he has no talent for martial arts, so he can only use his brains and wisdom to fight against force.

Lu Zhutou, who was guarding in Su Mansion, also began to arrange actions, and sent a catcher to disguise himself and go out of the city to lurk and wait.

"Master Su, please rest assured, we will definitely arrest the five monsters of the green forest this time and rescue Miss Ling'er!" Lu Zhutou packed the ticket to Su Chen.

"Please, everyone, it doesn't matter if I am in some danger, I must rescue Ling'er, before Ling'er appears, don't act rashly, so as not to startle the snake!"

Su Chen clenched his fists and told Lu Zhutou that even if he was in danger and was captured and captured, as long as Ling'er did not show up, he could not take action to arrest him, otherwise, there would be no clues to save Ling'er.

"I'll do my best, but the situation is changing rapidly, and we can only improvise!" Lu Zhutou responded politely, he received an order from the prefect, that is, no matter what, let Su Chen get injured and have an accident.

In the eyes of Governor Peng at this time, Su Chen's life and safety are related to the happiness of his daughter, and he must be more precious than Su Chen's sister Ling'er, so he secretly gave the order to the head catcher, that is, Su Chen must not be allowed to have an accident, and the matter of hostage rescue is second; If you can save it, you can save it, and if you can't save it, you will keep Su Chen.

Su Chen went out and got into the carriage, and the driving groom was played by Bai Lang, nodding to each other, knowing the purpose of going out of the city this time, and didn't say anything.

The car was crushed on the bluestone road of the street, making a squeaky wooden friction sound, Su Chen sat in the carriage, and he couldn't help but worry in his heart, at this time, he felt that he was back in ancient times, and there was no martial arts, so he was really troublesome, and he was tied.

Half an hour later, the carriage had already left the west city gate, and headed for the Shili embankment in the northwest direction, where there was a lake and a dam, hence the name, and the Yanzhi Ridge was connected to the north of the lake, and the terrain was complicated.

As the sun sets, the weather gets darker in the evening.

When the carriage came to a willow tree in the Ten Mileland, which was the place specified in the letter, it was already dark.

Su Chen jumped out of the carriage and looked at the silent surroundings, the lakes and mountains, sparkling in the moonlight, the river embankment was lush with greenery, deep and silent, except for him and Bai Lang, there were no other figures.

After patiently waiting for a cup of tea, it was probably because the bandits were secretly lurking and observing him, and he did not find the figure of the official messenger to catch him, so he would show up.

Suddenly, only the sound of a horse's hoofs was heard, and from the opposite boulevard came a galloping horse, on which sat a man on horseback, covered with a night coat and a turban, covering his face.

"Where is Su Chen?" The man on horseback asked.

"I am, I brought the secret recipe, where is Ling'er?" Su Chen replied loudly.

The person on horseback was none other than Qiu Chusheng, the 'impermanence scholar' among the five monsters, who came over to negotiate, and snorted coldly: "I don't know whether the secret recipe is true or false, we can't distinguish the truth from the fake, get on the horse, come with me, and exchange yourself for that little girl!" ”

Su Chen didn't expect that this group of people was not just asking for a secret recipe, but was coming at him as a person, and they had to kidnap him.

"Trade me for a hostage?" Su Chen frowned and said.

Qiu Chusheng had a look of indifference on his face and said, "Yes, it depends on whether you are willing or not." If you don't, then the deal is over, you go back and continue to be your Jiang Zuo talent, and when we have the next opportunity, it's not too late for us to catch you personally. But that little girl is miserable, not only will we have to kill, but before we die, we will be tortured and ravaged by our brothers, and life will be worse than death! ”

When Bai Lang heard this, two unusual cold lights began to bloom in his usually cloudy eyes.

Su Chen also shouted angrily: "If you dare to touch a single hair of her, I will definitely destroy your Jiangdong Five Monsters in the coming day!" ”

The corners of Qiu Chusheng's mouth flashed with an indifferent smile and said, "Just because you are a weak scholar, do you think we will be afraid?" To tell you the truth, in the hands of my five brothers, I don't know how many lives I have tired, and it is not too many of your brothers and sisters, if you don't cooperate obediently, the little girl will die first! ”

Su Chen hesitated, he couldn't risk Ling'er's safety, although he knew that the other party had the intention of intimidating, but Su Chen didn't dare to really gamble, in case this green forest bandit really vented his hatred for Ling'er, then Ling'er's life would be over.

And he is targeted by these bandits, and the five monsters of Jiangdong will come to arrest him again sooner or later, so if he can't completely solve it this time, the future troubles will be endless.

Su Chen regained his composure, looked at the impermanent scholar, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you, but I need to take this coachman with me, when I see my sister, so that he can leave with my sister, so that I can really be your hostage." ”

'Impermanent Scholar' Qiu Chusheng pondered for a moment, feeling that this request was also reasonable, their goal was to kidnap Su Chen, and they planned to exchange that little girl for his freedom and make her obediently bound, but they were not completely sure, whether this Su Chen would give in!

Because these green forest bandits are all unsympathetic people, without knowing Su Chen's character, he can't guess the status of that little girl in his heart, it is said that she is still a righteous sister, will she make sacrifices for her, these bandits are really unsure in their hearts, anyway, they will not do such a stupid thing, so they dare not say that the conditions for changing hostages are too harsh, and they are worried that Su Chen will not do it.

"Okay, you sit on my horse first, let's ride together, let him drive behind, go to a place first, and you will meet the little girl!"

The impermanence scholar sneered in his heart, planning to trick the two of them into a secret place, far away from the official road, into an ambush they had set up in advance, and kill the coachman, leaving only this acid scholar, so he couldn't help but obey.
