As soon as this person's words came out, Yuwen Chengchao and the others were shocked.

When several people stood behind Chen Zhitai, they deliberately lowered their heads, just not to let the other party see it, and Yuwen Chengchao even stood behind the tall Chen Zhitai to cover up.

Everyone was ready, just waiting for Ding Zixiu to come close and take action immediately.

With the strength of several people, no matter how powerful Ding Zixiu is, it is impossible to escape, as long as Ding Zixiu is held, and Chen Zhitai, the third master, has defected, then the bandits on the mountain will inevitably collapse instantly, and a few people can escort Ding Zixiu back to the suspension bridge.

It's just that no one thought that Ding Zixiu would reveal the identity of Yuwen Chengchao in one word.

Fat Yu's heart sank, knowing that his identity had been exposed, he pulled out his knife without hesitation, and instantly put it on Chen Zhitai's neck.

He couldn't be sure that Chen Zhitai had released some kind of hint, but at this moment, he could only control Chen Zhitai as a hostage.

Although he knew that this hostage would not be of any use even if he was afraid.

Qin Xiao was also in his heart, he was really careful along the way, especially paying attention to Chen Zhitai, just worried that this guy would defect again.

can betray Ding Zixiu, and of course he can betray Yuwen Chengchao.

But Chen Zhitai was no different, and Qin Xiao had never seen him hint at anyone.

Yuwen Chengchao was startled, quickly recovered his composure, stepped forward from Chen Zhitai's side, put one hand behind him, took two steps forward, and before the third step came out, Ding Zixiu on the opposite side had already raised his hand and said: "Okay, don't get any closer, do you know, I'm really afraid of you, it's you who have nightmares at night, don't get too close." As he spoke, many figures came out from both sides of the wooden house, and five or six of them pulled bows and arrows, moved to both sides of Ding Zixiu, and aimed at Yuwen Chengchao.

The blade was on his neck, and a chill hit his whole body from his neck, and the axe in Chen Zhitai's hand fell to the ground, exclaiming, "Don't ..... Don't do it, misunderstand..... It's all a misunderstanding. He shouted at Ding Zixiu: "The big boss saves me......!" ”

"Zhitai, I am grateful for your great work." Ding Zixiu said with a smile: "Don't worry, if they kill you, I will definitely break them into thousands of pieces to avenge you." ”

"Big boss, I don't want to die." Chen Zhitai obviously didn't expect such a situation, and almost cried: "I was forced, it was them..... They forced me to do this, and my loyalty to the big boss is ...... heaven and earth! Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be holding a knife to his neck by someone from Yuwen Chengchao, and instantly changed his words: "Eldest prince, I don't know why this is happening, I .....!" "My brain was a little confused, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

Yuwen Chengchao was very calm, and smiled at Ding Zixiu: "Ding Zixiu, I thought I would never see you again in this life." ”

"But Ding always wants to see the eldest prince again." Ding Zixiu sighed: "Back then, the three of us brothers really couldn't survive, and we didn't want to go against you, we just wanted to live." Your Yuwen family is powerful, we really don't dare to provoke, that time to rob the grain, it was just forced to be helpless, who knew that the eldest prince would be killed, if it wasn't for my life, all three of us brothers would die in the hands of the eldest prince. ”

Yuwen Chengchao said with a smile: "I have always had a regret over the years, I couldn't let your three brothers reunite underground, good people do it to the end, today I finally have the opportunity, I will help you with this." ”

Ding Zixiu laughed and said: "The eldest prince is really from a famous family, and his mouth is scary, but what you said tonight is a big talk." His finger pointed around: "Take a closer look, can you still kill me tonight?" ”

Of course, Yuwen Chengchao had already discovered that when he spoke, many figures had already appeared around.

Qin Xiao even understood that there were at least hundreds of mountain bandits from all around, not to mention hundreds of people, all of them were like wolves, tigers, fierce gods.

Chen Zhitai had confessed before that Ding Zixiu's subordinates added up to only more than 200 people, more than 20 people were arrested for hijacking the grain truck, and more than a dozen sentry posts were cleaned up in the front mountain, plus the minions of the suspension bridge and the sentry post, and there were only more than 100 people left.

In other words, Ding Zixiu actually ambushed almost all the people under his command here tonight.

These people were hiding in the surrounding secret places, and it was impossible for them to be summoned on an impromptu basis, but they could only be prepared in advance.

But Yuwen Chengchao has just arrived, even if Ding Zixiu's eyesight is so good that he immediately recognizes that Chen Zhitai is behind Yuwen Chengchao, it is impossible to predict that the prophet will ambush him in advance.

Qin Xiao's face was grim, knowing that he was likely to fall into a well-arranged trap tonight.

"Ding Zixiu, you have been hiding in Tibet for the past two years, have you learned to tell hexagrams?" Yuwen Chengchao smiled faintly: "How do you know that I am coming tonight?" ”

Ding Zixiu smiled proudly: "The eldest prince has been promoted, and the hexagram technique is extremely profound, how can a person like me learn it?" In the past few years, I haven't wanted to do anything else, just thinking about the temperament of the eldest prince and pondering what is the fatal weakness of the eldest prince's temperament. ”

"Oh?"

"The eldest prince boasts of being both civil and military, as the eldest son of the Yuwen family, he is unwilling to be willing in anything, and hopes to do something big." Ding Zixiu smiled and said: "Especially when I escaped death from the hands of the eldest prince, it must be something that the eldest prince regrets." Eldest son, I have always wanted to see you again in the past few years, and I guess you should also want to find me to make up for the regrets of the year. ”

Yuwen Chengchao smiled: "So I found you today." ”

"The eldest prince is wrong, it's not that you found me, but that I asked you to come and see me." Ding Zi said: "To say something that I don't know the height of the sky, if I don't want the eldest prince to see me, the eldest prince will not have a chance in his life, but if I want you to see me, you will definitely come to the door by yourself honestly." ”

Yuwen Chengchao knew that he had something to say.

Qin Xiao and the others were besieged, knowing that the situation was critical, they all held down the handle of the knife and were ready to strike at any time.

"The eldest prince has been investigating Ding's whereabouts recently." Ding Zixiu said with a smile: "So it's not difficult for you to find out that Ding has settled in Jigong Gorge." However, the terrain of Jigong Gorge is dangerous, and you know very little about the situation in the mountains, so if you are not completely sure, your Yuwen family will probably not act rashly. I escaped last time, and I have already made you lose face, if you fail again this time, the Yuwen family really has no face to continue to mix in Xiling. ”

Yuwen Chengchao snorted coldly and did not speak.

"Since you want to be foolproof, you naturally have to figure out the deployment in the mountains first." Ding Zixiu said slowly: "The best way, of course, is to grab a few tongues." The most scarce thing in the mountains is grain, and now that it is the time of the autumn harvest, there is grain from all counties to the capital, if I deliberately set up an ambush to lure my brothers to grab the grain, will we not be able to catch the tongue? ”

Qin Xiao's heart sank, secretly thinking that this Ding Zi Mind Cultivation Machine was so deep that it was in such a state.

Using the grain team to lure the mountain bandits to rob the grain, so as to set up an ambush and catch the tongue, this is the idea that Qin Xiao proposed to Yuwen Chengchao, but this Ding Zixiu seemed to be at the scene at the time, and he knew this plan clearly.

"It just so happens that our Chen master's meritorious service is very sincere, and he is very clear about the deployment in the mountains, so let him lead people to ambush and rob grain, just to send the tongue to the eldest prince." Ding Zixiu smiled and said, "Eldest son, the gift you gave should be to your liking, right?" ”

Yuwen Chengchao changed color slightly, and Chen Zhitai was also surprised: "Big boss, you ..... You already knew that the officers and soldiers set a trap? ”

"Zhitai fell into your hands, and of course you have found a treasure." Ding Zixiu sighed: "Of course the eldest prince couldn't have thought that he was the bait I gave you, and if he didn't fall into your hands, how could you take the initiative to send it to the door yourself?" ”

"Big boss, you are not righteous." Chen Zhitai said angrily: "You know it's a trap, how can you send me there?" Do you still think I'm a brother? ”

"Zhitai, for the sake of so many brothers in the mountains, what can you do if you are wronged?" The second master took two steps forward and said lightly.

Chen Zhitai could see that Ding Zixiu had not only made arrangements in advance for this matter, but even the second leader was clear about this matter, but he was sent out like a fool, and he was furious: "Why didn't you discuss it with me in advance?" ”

"If I discuss it with you, it's easy to leak a flaw." Ding Zixiu said lightly: "Your own character, don't you know?" ”

Chen Zhitai clenched his fists, and at this time, he only felt that there was no good person in the world.

"So you already knew that the sentry post in the ambush in front of the mountain would definitely be cleared by us?" Yuwen Chengchao finally said: "Those dozen people, you sold them without blinking?" ”

Ding Zixiu's face became cold, and he sneered: "As long as I can kill you and avenge my brother, I don't even care about my own life, let alone anything else?" If you want to get rid of the dignified Yuwen Grand Prince, you always have to pay some price. ”

"If we clear those people and stay in the front mountain and don't come, won't your plan be in vain?" Yuwen Chengchao's eyes were like knives, staring at Ding Zixiu.

"It's possible." Ding Zixiu said: "So I can only gamble." You've always wanted to catch me with your own hands, and you're worried that I'll be gone silently again this time, so you must be in a hurry. My lord, I admit that you are a smart man and a bold man, and once you know that Zhitai has the opportunity to approach me, with your character, you will never miss such a good opportunity. He opened his arms and said with a smile: "So I'm waiting for you here, I just hope that you don't have any worries and come boldly, and you ...... It really didn't disappoint me. ”

Ning Zhifeng couldn't help but say at this time: "Ding Zixiu, Jigong Gorge has been surrounded, if you kneel down and surrender, the eldest prince may be able to spare your life, otherwise..... You and your men will not be left with a single chicken or dog. ”

"So what?" Ding Zixiu sneered: "I have you as hostages in my hands, and the officers and soldiers are jealous of rats, and they don't dare to act rashly." Eldest prince, I don't know how much silver the Yuwen family will spend to ransom you? Ten thousand taels? 100,000 taels? Or a million taels? There are so many brothers under my hand, if you want them to eat well, you always have to spend some silver, and the Yuwen family will bring the silver first, and when everyone has divided the silver and removed from the mountain, I will naturally leave you a whole corpse, and it will be returned to the Yuwen family intact, so they will spend money to buy the corpse. ”
