Chapter 118: Into the Tiger's Den
The night breeze was blowing, and there was a dead silence all around.
Yuwen Chengchao didn't speak when he saw a few people, knowing that everyone didn't agree with his plan, and in the final analysis, he was also worried that the plan would not succeed, but he would let himself fall into a desperate situation.
Fat Fish and others have followed him for many years, known as master and servant, and they are like brothers.
At their own orders, these people were willing to die for themselves.
But their biggest worry is that there will be any accident to their eldest son.
"Grand Prince, if you really insist on this plan, we can only follow it." After a moment of silence, Fat Yu finally said: "However, this operation, the eldest prince cannot participate, and it must be carried out by me." ”
Ning Zhifeng immediately said: "Yes, Fat Fish, I will cross the bridge with you." ”
"Makes sense." Dapeng also nodded and said: "The eldest prince stays here, waiting for Yuan to lead them over, and the three of us will follow Chen Dangjia to see Ding Zixiu, as long as we meet, the three of us will shoot at the same time, and we will be at least fifty percent sure." ”
Yuwen Chengchao shook his head and said: "Although I haven't fought with Ding Zixiu, I fought with his two brothers at the beginning, and the martial arts of those two are not weak, and Ding Zixiu's martial arts can only be above them." He looked at Fat Fish and said, "Fat Fish, the three of you have only succeeded in the past and are only fifty percent at most, but I must not let you take risks just because I am only fifty percent sure." ”
"Several, what the eldest prince said is not wrong." Chen Zhitai finally couldn't help but say: "Ding Zi's martial arts cultivation is very good, and he is ruthless, and the three of you are not necessarily his opponents." ”
Ning Zhifeng glanced at Chen Zhitai, and Chen Zhitai didn't dare to say more.
He scolded the sky in his heart, thinking that your brigade is behind, and they are all waiting here, and when they arrive, Lao Tzu will just take you across the bridge, and the officers and soldiers will kill them, and everything will be done.
It's good now, I actually want Lao Tzu to take you to see Ding Zixiu, once you miss, I'm afraid that Lao Tzu's head won't be saved.
But these words, naturally dare not spit out a single word.
"No need to argue." Yuwen Chengchao clenched his fists, and his mind was decided: "The three of you go with me, and the four of you join forces, at least seventy percent of them are sure." Xiang Qin Xiao said: "Wang Xiao, you stay here and wait for Yuan to lead them over." Once we succeed, we will escort Ding Zixiu over and let them lower the suspension bridge, Ding Zixiu is in our hands, and the people under him will not dare to act rashly. ”
Qin Xiao was wondering if he wanted to bring it up and go with them, and he was really a little hesitant in his heart.
He knew that this operation was extremely risky, Yuwen Chengchao led people deep into the tiger's den, and it was just a matter of success, and if he was negligent, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Meng Zimo brought him to Fengganfu City, although he didn't fully believe him, and even arranged him to the White Tiger Camp, but in his heart, Yuwen Chengchao treated him very interestingly.
If Yuwen Chengchao was replaced by Meng Zimo or Han Yunong, Qin Xiao would not think about it at all, and would definitely follow him in life and death.
But if he wants to risk his life with Yuwen Chengchao, Qin Xiao is still a little hesitant, this is not that he is not righteous, but he is thinking in his heart, whether it is worth fighting for Yuwen Chengchao.
"Eldest prince, in my opinion, if Brother Wang is willing, he can go with us." Fat Yu knew that he couldn't change Yuwen Chengchao's decision, so he could only plan how to go deep into the tiger's den to catch Ding Zixiu.
He knew that although Qin Xiao was young, he was well hidden, and if he could let Qin Xiao go with him, it would be an extra guarantee of success.
Yuwen Chengchao is so shrewd, as soon as Fat Yu said this, he immediately understood Fat Yu's thoughts, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Qin Xiao: "Wang Xiao, this matter is up to you, no matter what choice you make, there is nothing wrong." A few of us went in, and although we were seventy percent sure, we didn't dare to guarantee that we would succeed. As you just said, this operation is extremely risky, and if we make a mistake, we may not be able to come back. ”
"It's my honor that the eldest prince can afford it." Qin Xiao was still hesitating, but when he heard Yuwen Chengchao say this, he made up his mind, "It is exactly what I want to be able to kill the thief with the eldest prince." ”
Yuwen Chengchao showed a look of joy, and the fat fish also showed a light smile, arched his hand to Qin Xiao, and said: "Brother Wang, I won't hide it from you, we still had some doubts about your origin before, but now it seems that we are too careful." Tonight you can advance and retreat with the eldest prince, that is our true brother. Stretched out a fist towards Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao was stunned, but immediately understood, and also clenched his fist and touched it, Yuwen Chengchao was in a good mood, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, and also stretched out his fist, Dapeng and Ning Zhifeng glanced at each other, and also stretched out their fists, Ning Zhifeng smiled: "In the future, Brother Wang will be our real brother in life and death." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he found another fist approaching, and several people were stunned, and when they looked up, they saw that the third master, Chen Zhitai, had a solemn face, and that fist was actually stretched out by him.
Several people suddenly cried and laughed, and Ning Zhifeng couldn't help but say, "What are you doing here?" ”
"I'll go with you later." Chen Zhitai said with a bitter face: "Isn't this your brother of life and death?" ”
Yuwen Chengchao raised his hand and patted Chen Zhitai on the shoulder, and said, "Yes, you are also your own brother." He withdrew his fist, stood up, looked across the side, and commanded the others, "Wait here, and we'll cross the bridge first." ”
Those swordsmen naturally didn't dare to say much.
Chen ..... Brother Chen, it's up to you next. Yuwen Cheng nodded at Chen Zhitai with a light smile on his face.
A shallow smile of the eldest prince made Chen Zhitai like a spring breeze, picked up two big plate axes, and took the lead to walk out, Yuwen Chengchao and others followed, to the edge of the cliff, Chen Zhitai cleared his throat, suddenly lifted the two plate axes, hit each other, and made a crisp "Ding Ding Ding" sound, six times in a row, and then shouted at the opposite side: "I am Chen Zhitai, put down the suspension bridge, I have something urgent to report to the big boss!" ”
Qin Xiao saw the figure on the opposite side flickering, and soon heard the opposite side reply: "Three masters, can't you cross the bridge again tomorrow morning?" ”
"Less nonsense." Chen Zhitai said loudly: "I fucking grabbed dozens of truckloads of grain and came back, and if I don't report it now, do you want to let the big boss wait until tomorrow morning?" How to arrange these grains, we still have to ask the big bosses for instructions. ”
"Wait a minute, let's put the bridge right away." As soon as he heard the food on the other side, there was a commotion, Chen Zhitai turned his head to the eldest prince and the others: "The eldest prince, after crossing the bridge, you follow me closely, don't walk around." There are many sentry posts on the mountain, and there are some places that not everyone can approach, and if you go to a place that you shouldn't be close to, you will get into trouble. ”
"Don't worry, we know how to do it." Yuwen Chengchao and the others were all wearing bandit clothes, and even wore turbans, in the dark, at first glance, they were no different from mountain bandits, and asked in a low voice: "Our faces are raw, the other side won't recognize them, right?" ”
"That's not a worry." Chen Zhitai said in a low voice: "There are often newcomers coming over the mountain, more than two hundred people, except for those who are often together on weekdays, most of them are very raw, and Ding Zixiu can't recognize all the people under him." ”
At this time, I already saw that the opposite side began to slowly lower the suspension bridge.
"By the way, eldest son, there is something I almost forgot." Chen Zhitai said in a low voice: "I want to ask you for something?" ”
"What?"
Chen Zhitai's old face was slightly red, and he said in a low voice: "There is a woman on the mountain, is it ..... is the woman of the second leader Zhang Shubao, in fact, there is no affection between them, the second lady likes me, and I am also ..... to her There is also some pity, so ..... I beg the eldest prince not to hurt the second lady when the time comes. ”
"Understood." Yuwen Chengchao was very simple: "Zhang Shubao is going to be killed, but the second lady stays, and when the time comes, I will be the master, so that you will have a lover and become a family member." ”
"A lover will eventually become a family?" Chen Zhitai was stunned, but immediately showed joy, and said in a low voice: "I'm a little embarrassed to do this, spread it, others will say that I am not righteous and robbed my second sister-in-law, but ..... Since it is the eldest prince who is in charge, I can only obey. ”
As he spoke, the drawbridge had already fallen, just on the edge of the cliff.
Chen Zhitai's expression was tight, and he didn't talk nonsense, holding a double axe, and was the first to get on the bridge.
The fat fish was afraid that this Chen Zhitai would play tricks, so he followed closely behind, holding the scabbard in his hand, but whenever Chen Zhitai made any abnormal moves, he immediately shot and killed, he asked himself that it was not difficult to kill this big man.
Yuwen Cheng nodded towards Qin Xiao and the others, followed behind the fat fish, and then Qin Xiao and Dapeng also went to the bridge, and Ning Zhifeng was behind the palace.
This suspension bridge is also firm, passing from above, although it shook slightly, but it was not violent, it was quite stable, Qin Xiao glanced down, only to see that it was pitch black, bottomless, and knew that if this fell, it would definitely be shattered.
A few people seemed to be careless, but they were all on guard.
On the two huge rocks opposite, an arrow tower was erected, and the arrow tower was hung with oil lamps, and it was vaguely seen that there were two sentries on each arrow tower, both carrying longbows.
"Congratulations, brothers." One person came up and said with a smile: "Dozens of truckloads of food, even if the brothers don't do anything, they can eat for a year and a half." I have already asked people to report to the big boss and tell the three masters that they have come back with great achievements. ”
"You're fast." Chen Zhitai carried a big axe, and he didn't stop, swaggering forward: "Don't worry, with a reward, a few of you are indispensable." ”
"Then the brothers have thanked the three masters." Everyone on the side of the suspension bridge gave up their hands to Chen Zhitai.
Qin Xiao followed behind, observed left and right, there were six or seven people on duty on the side of the suspension bridge, the suspension bridge was controlled by a giant large wooden wheel, one left and one right, two large wooden wheels, manipulating the rise and fall of the suspension bridge, he knew that as long as he destroyed the two big wooden wheels, the suspension bridge would naturally not be able to pull up again.
But he also saw that there were several large wooden barrels on the side of the drawbridge, and the smell of rotten oil emanated from them.
Chen Zhitai's acting skills are really good, calm and calm, leading a few people forward for a while, turning towards a path.
The terrain of Jigong Gorge is steep, the road is rugged and difficult to travel, although it is obvious that the road has been dug and repaired by manpower, but the road is tortuous, many places are extremely narrow, and it is difficult to rush up if you really want to fight.
The further he went up the mountain, the more surprised Qin Xiao became, fortifications had been built in many places on the mountain, especially some forked roads, which were deliberately piled up with rocks and thorns and vines.
Yuwen Chengchao was also quite surprised when he saw it, knowing that even if Yuan Shangyu led people to rush across the suspension bridge and kill here, if he wanted to wipe out the mountain bandits on the mountain, it would not be a simple matter, and he would inevitably have to pay a lot of casualties.
Chen Zhitai as the third master of Jigong Gorge, is naturally very familiar with the road, walked for a while, came to an open area, where a lot of houses have been built, naturally is the camp where the camp is, late at night, the mountain bandits naturally have already rested, a silence, only a few night guards.
Qin Xiao saw it in his eyes, thinking that this Ding Zixiu was also a character, and the cottage was well deployed.
Passing through the camp, a wooden house appeared in front, the house was lit with a lamp, and there was a pillar of fire erected outside the door, and the oil pan was placed on it, and there was a fire inside, and the surrounding area was quite bright, and two mountain bandits were guarding outside the door, Chen Zhitai turned around and said: "That is the residence of the big boss." ”
Yuwen Chengchao saw that there were only two mountain bandits there, and he was immediately more sure.
"Is the big boss awake?" Chen Zhitai was no longer as calm as before at this time, a little nervous, approached the wooden house, stopped, and asked the mountain bandit in front of the house.
Before the mountain bandit could speak, he heard a voice from the house: "It's Zhitai who has arrived, right?" We are waiting for you. In the midst of the voice, I saw two people coming out of the house, one in front of the other and one behind him, the first one was thin, wearing a very ordinary coarse cloth shirt, over forty years old, and the man behind him was thinner than the one in front, wearing a long shirt and a cloth hat, and when he walked, it seemed that a gust of wind could blow him down, and he was older than the man in front.
"The big boss, the second ..... Second, the master. Chen Zhitai was a little surprised: "Why are you all here?" ”
"You have done a great job, and I naturally want to come over to celebrate you." The man in the cloth hat was out of breath in his voice, and he smiled lightly.
The man in front of him stood in front of the door, with his hands behind his back, although he looked thin, his eyes were sharp, and under the firelight, like a blade, he swept over the people behind Chen Zhitai, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Zhitai, you get out of the way, don't stand in the way of the eldest prince." Yuwen eldest son, I haven't seen you for a few years, has it always been good? Today's big come, Ding has missed the welcome, please forgive the sin! ”
