Outside, the woman, like a leader, beckoned her accomplices to stuff the "meat tickets" into two carriages, and then a group of horses roared away in the carriages.

Zhong Nan guessed in his heart: Most of the other party is from the martial arts, otherwise he would not be so bold and reckless, kidnapping four members of the court at the dinner party of the imperial court officials. He didn't dare to open his eyes, for fear of revealing his stuffing, so he had to let this group of powerful bandits take him and the other three unlucky eggs captive.

After about an hour, Zhong Nan felt that the speed of the carriage was gradually slowing down, and it was estimated that it was almost at its destination. Since he had no professional training, he could not analyze the general location of the present, and could only guess based on the distance of the carriage, which may have been on the outskirts of Beijing. But the accuracy of this guess is greatly discounted, because Zhong Nan can feel that the carriage has turned, and as for how it turned, he can't tell it.

With a long "whirl" from a man, the carriage finally stopped. Zhong Nan knew that the next step was a matter of life and death, and he quickly turned his brain to analyze the current situation.

The first thing that was certain was that they had been kidnapped. The gang did not know what means they used to manipulate the dinner, so that all the officials attending the banquet except him were tricked and fainted to the ground. It's just that what can't be explained is why only I am fine, is it because the physique of the traverser is different from ordinary people?

There is also the fact that the other party has taken great pains to tie up four court officials, and it will definitely not invite them to eat and drink tea; As for the purpose, I believe it will soon be known.

The second is the identity of this group. Zhong Nan thought about it carefully, and after he pretended to faint, the people of "Guangyue Xing" did not panic, on the contrary, they continued to play musical instruments. It can be seen that the troupe members and the kidnappers are in a gang, or the troupe members are impersonated by the kidnappers.

Among the kidnappers are people with strong martial arts, so it can be seen that they are likely to be mixed with the rivers and lakes. "In ancient times, chivalry and martial arts were forbidden", only these people would act only according to their personal preferences, and there was not much concept of government at all.

The third is how to get out of the current danger. Zhong Nan has some martial arts, but they are all "killing skills" on the battlefield, if they are in front of the masters of the rivers and lakes, it is estimated that they will have to admit it in a few rounds. Therefore, relying only on Zhong Nan alone, wanting to rescue three colleagues and fight his way out of the encirclement is tantamount to a fool's dream; Even if it was just him, without those three "oil bottles", it would be difficult for him to escape without understanding his surroundings.

Fortunately, the gang thought that the "meat tickets" were unconscious and didn't pay attention to them, so Zhong Nan took advantage of this loophole to make some markups.

It turned out that he threw down a string of hand beads that he had carried with him along the way, but he did not leave it from the beginning of the carriage to the finish line. Now he could only hope that the rescue team would be careful, find the markers, and follow the map to find the final place of captivity.

Thinking about these things clearly, Zhong Nan was no longer at a loss. Since the situation is unclear now, the only thing I can do is to stay put, wait for the situation to be clarified, and then make plans.

Soon, Zhong Nam felt that he was being lifted up, and soon after, he felt that he was being thrown to the ground, next to three colleagues who were also thrown on the ground. The gang was extremely disciplined when carrying and throwing people, and they didn't say a word, so they didn't reveal any useful information to Zhong Nan.

After a while, I heard another woman's voice not far away, "Wake them up first." Zhong Nan felt that the voice seemed to be heard somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

It didn't take long for Zhong Nan to feel that someone had put a very smelly object next to his nose, which was a bit like the smell of methane gas and a bit like fried stinky tofu. He didn't know the purpose of the other party's doing, so he could only continue to close his eyes and pretend to be unconscious, and when the three colleagues around him woke up coughing, he knew that the other party was detoxifying them. So Zhong Nan also pretended to cough a few times, and then slowly opened his eyes leisurely.

"Old ...... of the Shen Pavilion"

"Xu Ge Old ......"

"Scholar Zhao ......"

"Waiter Bell......"

After the four of them called each other, they looked around again, and saw that in addition to the four of them, there were two men in strong suits and a woman in strong suits in the room. Xu Guo asked angrily: "Who are you, do you know what the identities of the four of us are?" If you dare to kidnap the imperial court officials, you are in for a catastrophe! ”

The woman in the strong suit was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and when she heard Xu Guo's words, she didn't have a trace of fear, and said in a calm tone: "I know that you are the big officials of the imperial court, and today our 'White Lotus Sect' is tied to you!" ”

"'White Lotus Sect'?" Shen Shixing, Xu Guo, and Zhao Zhigao exclaimed in unison.

"What, scared?" The woman sneered, "I thought you were so bold, but as soon as you heard the name of our 'White Lotus Sect', you were scared like this, which is really a shame for your dog emperor!" ”

"Bold bandits, dare to speak wildly, insulting my current saint!" Zhao Zhigao refuted loudly, and at the same time wanted to stand up, but because his hands and feet were tied, he almost stumbled.

"Be honest with me," the woman commanded the two men to step forward and hold down Zhao Zhigao. Zhao Zhigao was the eldest of the four, an old man who was almost seventy years old, where could he stand it, and immediately collapsed to the ground.

Zhong Nan on the side had never spoken, seeing that the other party did not have the traditional virtue of "respecting the old and loving the young", he was the youngest and strongest of the four, and the accident happened in Zhongfu, it would be a little inappropriate for him to come out again.

"You 'White Lotus Sect' claim to be 'doing the right thing for the heavens', you can't even do the most basic respect for your elders, right? What is the difference between this and those robbers who kill and set fires indiscriminately! ”

"Let go of him, forgive him, an old man who is about to enter the ground, and he can't make any waves!" The woman gave the order.

"That's a little graceful!" Zhong Nan teased, "You went to great lengths to arrest us, didn't you just want to insult us?" ”

"Humph! Who has that spare time! ”

"Then what are you going to do, draw out the Dao!" Zhong Nan was very crisp.

"I don't see it, but you're quite kind, not like those old men." The woman's words made Shen Shixing and the others very unhappy, even if Zhong Shilang is handsome and younger, you don't have to praise him and belittle the three of us at the same time, right?

"Don't talk so much nonsense, what the hell are you going to do?" Zhong Nan also felt that the other party's praise was a bit "unspeakable".

"It's not a big deal. Some time ago, didn't you arrest our Liao Hall Master? Now I will bother the four handwriters to persuade your emperor to release the Liao Hall Master, and we will naturally keep you safe and sound when the time comes. The woman told her true purpose.

"Which Liao Hall Master? Who caught him? Zhong Nan didn't know why.

"It's the Liao Hall Master of our 'White Lotus Sect' Shandong Branch, you caught him and sent him to Jingshi, and now he is locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department."

"But is there such a thing?" Zhong Nan asked his own people.

"It's true!" Shen Shixing nodded.

"The reason why you have written this letter is because the Emperor must know your handwriting, so that he will not lie to him for us." The woman explained why.

"Hmph, that Liao Chuanzhi is demagogic in Shandong, and it is bad for me to have a Ming foundation, so I should be asked after the autumn. You want to use a few of us old men to threaten the Holy Lord, so we won't let you get your way! Shen Shixing flatly refused.

"Old man, I'm cheap, are you okay, you four big officials are changing our Liao Hall Master alone, you have taken a big advantage." The woman lobbied.

"It is said that Na Liao Chuanzhi is an important figure in your 'White Lotus Sect', and his status is second only to the Great Leader and the Left and Right Dharma Protectors. If such a person is let out, there will definitely be endless troubles, and then the lives will be ruined, then we will be sinners of the Ming Dynasty. Do you think we'll say yes? Zhao Zhigao also categorically rejected the other party's proposal.

"Don't be ashamed!" The woman was also angry, "I am now discussing with you in a good voice to give you face." You say that you old men, you are so old, can you withstand the torture, if you are hungry for a few meals, don't say that I am not kind! ”

"Humph!" The three old men have good spirits.

Seeing this, the woman turned her head to look at Zhong Nan, Zhong Nan knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more beneficial it would be to him, and the three old men who were older than him did not agree, no matter what his considerations, he would not agree to the other party. So Zhong Nan said loudly: "Girl, then listen to it!" ”

Xu Guo, who hadn't spoken for a long time, continued, "Girl, I see that you are young, why don't you think about yourself, the 'White Lotus Sect' can't grow long, don't die when the time comes, it will be too cost-effective!" ”

"You ......" Xu Guo's words were somewhat Meng Lang, which made the woman very unhappy. She knew that she couldn't convince Zhong Nan and the four of them for the time being, so she had to walk away angrily, and gave an order before leaving, "Give me a few hungry meals, and see if I still have the ability to fight with me at that time!" ”

"Yes!" After the two men in strong suits answered, they also left the room, then locked it and slowly walked away.

waited until the two men walked far away before Zhong Nan opened his mouth to apologize to his colleagues: "Shen Ge Lao, Xu Ge Lao, Zhao Shangshu, this time I am really embarrassed to let you three elders suffer." ”

"It's none of your business, this 'White Lotus Sect' was originally coming for us, but it just happened to be chosen for Lord Shilang's dinner, so Zhong Shilang doesn't have to worry about it." Xu Guo knew Zhong Nan's concerns and waved his hand.

"Elder Xu Ge is right, not to mention that Zhong Shilang is also locked up here like the three old men of us." Zhao Zhigao smiled.

"Xiaguan is young and strong, it won't be in the way if they starve a few times, but the three of you are Great Ming Pillar Stones, if you ...... because of this" Zhong Nan's worries can't be said to be unreasonable.

"Zhong Shilang, don't worry, we can still carry it for some time." Shen Shixing said.

"Actually, our situation is not so bad!" Zhong Nan leaned over and said in a voice as small as a mosquito.
