Wang Hui was very annoyed when he saw that Zhang Shumo agreed with Lou Ang but did not agree, and he set up Lou Jun again: "What about you playing with me?" Believe it or not, I'm going to kill him right now, fighting with you? Our lives are worthless, it's a big deal that we exchange so many lives for his life! ”

Lou Jun's arm was originally injured, and after the neck was injured again, there was a lot of blood, and his face had become pale at this time, and he said forcefully: "Change it, change it, my life is worth it for so many bandits." ”

Zhang Shumo glanced at Lou Ang, and then said, "General Lou, in that case, we might as well give in to each other." Let's not let them go, but don't stop them here, why don't we go to the door of the cottage and talk? ”

Lou Ang also had no bottom in his heart, since Zhang Shumo insisted, it was better to believe him once. Thinking of this, Lou Ang nodded and waved his hand at the soldier: "Get out of the way." ”

The soldiers made a cut, and when Wang Hui saw this, he immediately let the mountain bandits go over, and dragged Lou Jun at the back of the team.

Lou Zaiying and the others followed Zhang Shumo's advice and did not move, but they were deflated in the siege of the city, and they were very unhappy. At this time, they suddenly found that Lou Ang's troops and the mountain bandits walked towards the cottage one after the other, so Lou Cang and Lou Zaiying did not hesitate to lead people to surround them. In this way, Wang Hui and others entered a larger encirclement.

Since everyone was under the cottage this time, Niu Ben and others also found Wang Hui and others who were besieged.

Wang Hui had no choice but to block Lou Jun in front of him again, and instead asked Lou Ang and the others: "Have you thought about it?" Do we want to exchange his life for ours? ”

Lou Cang raised his knife and pointed at Wang Hui: "Your life is also worthy of my eldest brother?" Quickly release my eldest brother, I will spare your dog's life! ”

Wang Hui smiled: "You are stupid to me, can we still survive if we let him go?" So either you let us go; Either we kill him and you kill us! ”

Zhang Shumo stood up and said: "We have another way to choose, you can make a deal with us, how about we exchange hostages?" ”

Wang Hui was stunned: "You also have hostages?" ”

Zhang Shumo laughed: "Aren't the more than forty of you our hostages?" ”

Wang Hui was instantly annoyed after hearing this, and said to Zhang Shumo: "We have a hostage in our hands, if you don't let us go, I will kill him!" ”

"Don't be angry, and listen to what I'm saying? You killed this old man as a hero for a while, and more than 40 of you will be buried with you! I know you're cheap, but are your brothers too? They don't necessarily think that way when you think so, can you make decisions for all of them? ”

Among these mountain bandits, there were people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and when they heard Zhang Shumo's words, their hearts were shaken, and they all looked at Wang Hui, Wang Hui felt the pressure of everyone and hesitated in his heart.

Zhang Shumo struck while the iron was hot: "So I advise you to cooperate with us, so that both parties have nothing to lose." ”

Wang Hui took the test for a moment and finally relaxed: "You tell me how to change it first?" ”

"We will exchange more than 40 of you for all the people we have been arrested, you can let the cottage release people, we will let you go, and then release this old man after you pass, and we will be fine." Zhang Shumo said what he thought.

"No!" As a result, Lou Zaiying, Lou Cang, and Lou Ang unanimously rejected Zhang Shumo's proposal.

Lou Zaiying didn't know what Zhang Shumo was thinking, so she asked, "Zhang Shumo, what do you think?" Will they release Grandpa after they pass over? ”

"I want them to let Grandpa go first, do you ask them if they agree?" Zhang Shumo asked rhetorically.

Wang Hui thought for a moment and said, "I can't be the master of this matter, you have to discuss it with our big boss." ”

Zhang Shumo looked at Wang Hui with a disgusted face after hearing this: "Then you didn't say it earlier!" After speaking, he walked out of the crowd alone and shouted towards the cottage: "Which of you is in charge, how about we make a deal?" ”

Niu Ben watched the sentry post for a long time, and laughed when he heard Zhang Shumo's words: "Is this sun coming out of the west?" Your officers and soldiers will still make a deal with our mountain bandits? ”

Zhang Shumo didn't care about Niu Ben's ridicule, and shouted at him: "You have arrested more than ten of our brothers, and we have also arrested more than forty of you, so it is better for us to exchange hostages, so that both sides will be safe." ”

After hearing this, Niu Ben wondered in his heart: exchange hostages? What is this officer and soldier thinking? Now that Wang Hui is not by his side, he doesn't even have anyone to discuss, what if he gets a full set of officers and soldiers? But walking the rivers and lakes is about a righteous son, if he doesn't agree to them, what will his brothers think of themselves?

Thinking of this, Niu Ben didn't bother to think about it, and directly agreed to Zhang Shumo's proposal: "Okay! I promise you, but I have one condition. You'll have to release them first, and I'll release your people when I'm halfway there. ”

Zhang Shumo rubbed his temples: The current situation is much more complicated than he expected, and he can only do this if he wants to rescue the captured soldiers and Master Lou at the same time, but if he doesn't get it right, he will take Master Lou's life, so it's better for him to make it clear to the Lou family and let them decide.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo shouted to Niu Ben: "We have to discuss, and we will reply to you later!" ”

After saying that, Zhang Shumo returned to the crowd, and Lou Zaiying was the first to greet him: "I still don't agree!" They will never keep their promise and let Grandpa go. ”

Zhang Shumo didn't reply, but looked at Wang Hui and Lou Jun, Lou Jun was strangled by Wang Hui, his face was pale, and his breathing had become chaotic. Zhang Shumo made up his mind and said to the three members of the Lou family: "Zaiying, third grandfather, fourth grandfather, you come with me." ”

The three of them stayed away from the mountain bandits, and Zhang Shumo said straight to the point: "I know they won't keep the contract, now grandpa's life is their life, if we don't let them go, then they will only hold grandpa hostage and consume it with us." Grandpa has injuries on his body, we can't afford it! ”

Lou Zaiying fell silent, but Lou Cang was anxious: "Then we can't just let them take the eldest brother away." ”

Lou Ang looked at Zhang Shumo: "If you have any plans, just say it, if it is feasible, we will follow it." ”

Zhang Shumo nodded: "Since this is the case, I will say it bluntly, I plan to leave the mountain bandit who kidnapped my grandfather first, exchange other mountain bandits for soldiers, and then let him leave alone." Then arrange for someone to take advantage of the chaos to ambush in the grass on the side of the road, you and I attract the attention of the mountain bandits and forcibly rescue Grandpa. ”

The three of them all thought about it after hearing this, and after a while, Lou Ang asked, "First of all, do you think the mountain bandits will agree to your conditions?" ”

Zhang Shumo shook his head: "I'm not sure, but how do you know if you don't try?" We are only besieging these forty mountain bandits now, as long as we get out of the way, they can escape directly. I think there must be people among these bandits who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are still willing to give it a try. ”
