When he arrived at the gate of the house, Zhong Nan saw the situation clearly: a large group of people from the imperial court had surrounded the house, and more than a dozen people on the kidnapper's side were cowering at the door, taking advantage of the location to stalemate with them.

When the four of them were escorted out and pushed to the front as hostages, Qiu Xiang saw Zhong Nan at first sight, she didn't shout loudly, just gave the other party a look, and Zhong Nan replied with a "don't worry" look.

Zhong Nan knew that the current situation was moving in his favor, he stabilized his mood, turned his head and said to the kidnappers: "If you can't escape, those who know each other will be arrested, I can plead with the emperor and spare you from death!" As soon as he finished speaking, he found an acquaintance - the woman who kidnapped the little master in Suzhou Mansion. Although the two met again after that, Zhong Nan still didn't know each other's names.

At the same time that Zhong Nan saw Liao Qing'er, Liao Qing'er also discovered him, both of them were stunned for a moment, their eyes stayed on each other's bodies, and then they moved away at the same time, and this scene was captured by Qiu Xiang in the distance.

Although Liao Qing'er did not go to Zhongfu, she was the leader of this operation, not only failed to rescue her father, but also fell into the encirclement of the other party. ”

"Sister, by all means, we have hostages in our hands, they will definitely not mess around!" The woman who had been in charge of guarding Zhong Nan's four people before said to Liao Qing'er.

"Yes, miss, we don't need to fight hard for the time being." The kidnappers also spoke up to dissuade them.

"That'...... So what now? Liao Qing'er was at a loss.

"Take those four dog officers hostage and let them let us go." The woman suggested.

"Sister Rushuang, just do as you say. I'm a little out of mind right now, and I'm going to bother you to preside over the overall situation. ”

The woman named Rushuang did not shirk, came behind Zhong Nan and the four of them, opened her throat and shouted: "Tell your leaders to come out, let's talk!" ”

"What is there to talk about, you are already surrounded by us, even if you put on your wings, don't even think about flying out." Xu Wenbi exerted pressure, "Let the four adults go first, and my subordinates will show mercy and promise to give you a whole corpse!" ”

"Hmph, it seems that you don't want these adults to live? Do you want them to die too? Rushuang's words made Xu Wenbi speechless, and Zhang Yuangong beside him had to interface.

"Hugh is talking nonsense, we are ministers of the same court, where are those dirty ideas."

"It's good if you don't have it. But it's normal for people to think that way, and I can help. Rushuang said and took out a knife and put it on Zhao Zhigao's neck, "This adult is the oldest, and it's time to vacate the position!" ”

"Don't ......"

"Don't ......"

Not only Xu Wenbi and Zhang Yuangong, but even Zhong Nan exclaimed.

Rushuang pretended to be surprised, "It's okay, I wasn't scared by you just now, otherwise this hand would ...... shake"

Seeing that the other party held the position of "seven inches", Xu and Zhang had to give in.

"This girl, didn't you say you wanted to talk about it at first, just ask for anything." Xu Wenbi knew that he had to rely on the other party at this time, even if he suffered some, he could only endure it.

"Evacuate the people who are surrounded by this one first!"

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Zhang Yuangong gave an order to withdraw the men and horses of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Shuntian Mansion, and arranged them behind him.

"Girl, you always have to show some sincerity, right?" Xu Wenbi said after withdrawing from the encirclement.

"How?" Like frost pretending to be stupid.

"In this way, you release some of the hostages first, and we can also make a good deal, so that no one will think that we have a problem with you." Xu Wenbi made a suggestion.

Zhong Nan continued, "Yes, the three adults are old, and it is not convenient for you to take them with you, in case they are tripped and fall when they will escape, will it delay you?" ”

Rushuang couldn't figure out what Zhong Nan's words meant, and was bowing her head in thought. Zhong Nan added another fire, "Don't worry, even if you let the three of them go, you still have enough chips." If I don't have enough status, can I work so many big people at the previous dinner party? ”

Hearing these words, Rushuang thought about it again, and then accepted Zhong Nan's proposal. She moved the knife in her hand to Zhong Nan's face, and then slipped down her neck along her face, "That's what you said, a few old men have difficulty moving, but it affects us." But don't try to play any tricks, or I can't guarantee that my knife won't bleed!" ”

Although Rushuang has a smile on her face, no one doubts that she is a ruthless master. Zhong Nan didn't have a trace of nervousness, letting Rushuang's knife stick to his neck, and he whispered to Shen Shixing and the three of them to leave as soon as possible. The three old men looked at Zhong Nan gratefully, and then slowly walked to Xu Wenbi's camp.

Seeing that the three most important figures had been rescued, Xu Wenbi and Zhang Yuangong breathed a sigh of relief. They were already much more relaxed at this time, and there was really no way to do it, the big deal was only to sacrifice Lord Shilang, after all, if they didn't catch a few bandits from the "White Lotus Sect" to go back, it would be difficult to give an account to the emperor. Xu Guo, who had just come down safely, shouted: "Two grandfathers, you must not have other ideas, if you can't save Lord Shilang, the old man and you are not finished!" ”

"Yes, you must save Zhong Shilang back!" Shen and Zhao also agreed.

"Three scholars, don't worry, we know the importance of Zhong Shilang, and we won't make a decision unless we have to." Zhang Yuangong explained in a low voice.

"Even if it's a last resort, the safety of Zhong Shilang must be the first priority!" Shen Shixing put forward the guidelines for the rescue work, and when Xu and Zhang heard that Lord Shoufu said this, they had to nod their heads and agree.

"Well, we're sincere enough, right?" Rushuang made her request, "Trouble everyone, get us a carriage first." Don't try to manipulate the wagon, we won't release your squire until we reach safety. ”

"Do as they ask." Shen Shixing temporarily took over the command.

"Elder Shen Ge, this ......" Xu Wenbi spoke, but was interrupted by Shen Shixing. Seeing this, Zhang Yuangong pulled him aside, leaned into his ear and whispered a few words, and Xu Wenbi then arranged for people to prepare the carriage.

It is impossible to say that Zhong Nan is not nervous, he is also afraid of death, but he knows that it is not a way to continue to stalemate, so he has the proposal to take himself as a hostage. After all, Shen Shixing and the others are much more important than him, and if something happens, the impact on the country will definitely not be small.

In about half an hour, someone rushed to a carriage, and Rushuang first asked a man from his side to check it and make sure that he had not done anything before making arrangements. first let Liao Qing'er and a few people who were almost kung fu get into the carriage, and then she escorted Zhong Nan to slowly retreat, while not forgetting to threaten the rescue team.

"Don't move for the time being, wait until I'm farther away, and then come along, or ......"

"Okay, it's all up to you, just don't hurt Zhong Shilang." Shen Shixing also made the only request.

Rushuang pulled the knife back, held it in her right hand against Zhong Nan's waist and eyes, and pulled the rope that tied Zhong Nan's upper body and hands with her left hand, making him retreat with his steps. The rope on Zhong Nan's feet was untied by Zhao Zhigao before, and only the rope that tied his upper body and hands was left, which was just as convenient as frost at this time, and the two of them returned to the carriage step by step.

As soon as he got into the carriage, Rushuang asked the brother who was driving the carriage to hurry up. As for those brothers who didn't get into the carriage, their kung fu should have been higher, so let them use their skills to escape, if they can escape, of course, it is best, if they are caught by the officers and soldiers, then there is no way.

Zhong Nan sat in the carriage, looked at Liao Qing'er, who had recovered, and said in a sincere tone: "I said a long time ago, you must be more restrained in Shandong, otherwise you will definitely suffer a big loss." ”

Rushuang was surprised to see this, she looked at Liao Qing'er in confusion, her face was full of question marks, "Sister, do you know?" ”

"It's all acquaintance!" Liao Qing'er responded vaguely.

"That's a good dare!" Rushuang was suddenly happy, and said to Zhong Nan, "Hey, they all call you Zhong Shilang, and they are afraid that something will happen to you, it seems that your status is not low." ”

"Don't expect me to help you save your comrades in the prison, it would be nice to help you escape today." Zhong Nan's words made Rushuang very puzzled.

"What do you mean, what do you mean by helping us escape, it's not that I'm clever enough to make you a hostage......"

Rushuang's words were interrupted by Zhong Nan before she could finish speaking, "Do you really think that I, like those old men, am a powerless official?" ”

"How?" Rushuang asked.

Zhong Nan glanced at Liao Qing'er, "You can ask her, I have a lot of blood on my hands, if you really want to get out just now, you probably can't stop me!" ”

Rushuang immediately looked at Liao Qing'er, "Sister, is what he said true?" ”

Although Liao Qing'er had never seen Zhong Nan make a move, but thinking of the soldiers under him, it was estimated that what Zhong Nan said was true, so he nodded.

Seeing Liao Qing'er's answer, Rushuang first glanced at Zhong Nan, then at Liao Qing'er, and then with a suddenly realized expression, "Oh...... I understand! No wonder you said you helped us escape, it turns out that you are ......"

"Nothing!" Zhong Nan and Liao Qinger spoke in unison.

"I still say no, look at whether you have such a tacit understanding or not!" Rushuang pursed her lips with an expression of "I don't believe it".

The two denied the three times again, but they bumped into each other again, causing Rushuang to laugh: "Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense." The court officials and the white lotus bandits, tsk tsk......"

Zhong Nan doesn't want to talk anymore, this is a frosty woman, the more you deny her, the more serious she must be. He turned his head to look at Liao Qing'er, but saw that the other party's face was crimson, and it was clearly an expression of "you said it". Zhong Nan could only smile bitterly, and said in his heart: Sister Ni, I don't even know her name, where can there be any affection!
