Yang Congyi and his entourage struggled, and finally rushed to the foot of Nitou Mountain when the sun was in the west.

There are a lot of bright posts and secret posts around Nitou Mountain, and they have been found as early as ten miles away, and they have returned to the mountain to report to He County Lieutenant.

"Brother Yang, you're back, we thought you were killed by bandits." When you saw Yang Congyi, you immediately shouted from afar.

"It's not much better now than being killed." Yang Congyi shouted loudly, which could be heard on the mountain, and the bandits were holding a bright knife around his neck.

After a while, more catches came down the mountain, but the bandits were forced to stand far away, and could not get close to greet each other.

Seeing that the crowd was caught quickly, County Lieutenant He walked out.

"Yang Zhutou, didn't you bring the fugitive back, why did you become like this?" County Lieutenant He had already received the report and knew that Yang Congyi had become a hostage of the bandits, but he wanted to deliberately ridicule him.

"The world is unpredictable, I brought the fugitives back, and they brought me back." Yang Congyi said helplessly.

"Bold bandit, in front of this official, don't let Yang Zhutou go, if you hurt Yang Zhutou, you will be broken into ten thousand pieces!" County Lieutenant He suddenly shouted at the bandits.

"We brought people out to release them, but before releasing them, we need to make an exchange, otherwise Yang Zhutou will not survive, and we will release these thirty fugitives immediately." Cheng Wen shouted loudly.

Yang Congyi has been shouting all the way in the past few days, for fear that others will not know that he has brought back the fugitives, and everyone knows about the nipple mountain, and the news has been passed to the Qianshan Temple, I believe that it will not be long before everyone outside the mountain will know, after all, they entered the mountain with great fanfare, and many people saw it with their own eyes, and also knew that it was to arrest dozens of serious prisoners who escaped from the prison at the beginning of the year, so that almost all the credit for the capture of the fugitives was taken up by Yang Congyi.

The people of Huaining know, and the officials will definitely know. In this way, there is no fear that the county lieutenant He will be bad, the fugitive from the pit will not be able to get out of the mountain, and if the fugitive can be let go in front of him, then the county lieutenant will not do it.

After County Lieutenant He heard the news of Yang Congyi a few days ago, he knew that he would take all the credit for arresting the fugitive this time, and when the news spread, it would be impossible to find someone to blatantly sabotage it, otherwise Lord Chen would never put up with him again. For the sake of today's plan, we can only send these fugitives back, but there are still some that are impossible to catch, as long as you can take the opportunity to continue to stay in Tianzhu Mountain, it doesn't matter how many fugitives you catch back.

"You guys put Yang Zhutou first, otherwise don't talk about it!" Lieutenant He shouted.

"Are you stupid when we don't exchange, we will never let people go back, and don't make a bad idea, otherwise you try, see if you are fast, or the knife in my hand is fast." Cheng Wen shouted and shook the knife in his hand.

"What do you want to exchange?" County Lieutenant He asked loudly. In this public, we really can't let the bandits kill the headhunter, otherwise where is the majesty of the government, and where is the majesty of the county lieutenant!

"When you caught a Song leader when you were fighting Nipple Mountain, you exchanged your head capture for Song leader, plus thirty fugitives. If you agree, we will exchange immediately, if you don't agree, we will kill your captor and release the fugitive. Give you a stick of incense time to consider, after a stick of incense, you will either change people or kill people! Cheng Wen shouted loudly.

Without waiting for County Lieutenant He to speak, Yang Congyi shouted loudly: "Death is death!" Lord He, don't exchange with bandits, how can the government trade with bandits, and how can I have the face to survive in the world when it is spread. Lord He, if you don't listen to them, let me die, Chen Zhijun won't blame you! People are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hongmao, can die for the capture of heavy punishment fugitives, I die as I deserve, the people of Huaining will remember me, the court will remember me, this side of the landscape will remember me, Huaining will write county chronicles in the future, history will remember me! The big husband should leave a name in history, and the real heroes should be passed down through the ages! Just let my blood be sprinkled on Tianzhu Mountain! ”

As soon as the crowd heard this, they hurriedly shouted: "Brother Yang, don't do it, we are still waiting for you to come back!" ”

"Brother Yang, don't, you can't die!"

"Listen to the bandits on the other side, if you dare to kill Brother Yang, we will fight with you!"

"Brother Yang, don't think about it!"

"Brother Yang, you have to live! Alive! ”

"My lord, you promise them to save Yang Zhutou."

"My lord, save Brother Yang!"

"Please, sir!"

......

Yang Congyi's righteous and awe-inspiring declaration of death suddenly aroused the rescue enthusiasm of the catchers, and for a while there was a commotion under the Nipple Mountain, some persuaded Yang Congyi not to seek death, some warned the bandits not to mess around, and more begged the county lieutenant He to change Yang Congyi back.

After Yang Congyi finished shouting, his neck was raised high, and he had an expression of death on his face, standing there motionless, but his eyes were glancing at the other side. The gang on the other side still has a conscience, and it is not in vain to run with them all night in Panlong Mountain.

County Lieutenant He was like a mirror in his heart, Yang Congyi's set of retreating as advance could not deceive him, saying that he was going to die, but when he mentioned Chen Zhijun, who didn't know that he was brought by Chen Zhijun from Taihu County. is a big husband again, a real hero, and he still wants to be famous in history, and he wants to be beautiful! It's just a small official, and it's not his turn to leave his name. When it comes to this, it is clear that he is forced to replace, but in this case, he really can't do anything about him, so he can only rush down.

"Okay, this official agrees to the exchange. But you must hand over half of the fugitives first, and then the official can bring the bandit leader!" He County Lieutenant also put forward conditions.

"Okay, we'll trust the government once." Cheng Wen replied in a loud voice, and then ordered the other bandits to send the fifteen fugitives over.

The fugitive was taken ten feet away from the captors, and then the bandits shouted, "Come and receive." Then he turned and walked away.

The fugitives had their hands tied behind their backs and could not run in the mountains, therefore, without untying their hands, they were not at all worried that they would run.

The arrester immediately stepped forward, held down the fifteen fugitives, and escorted them back to their main position.

"Later, we will verify the identity of the fugitives." Lieutenant He shouted.

Then he said sharply to the fifteen fugitives: "Report your names in turn, if you are not honest, you can suffer the hardships you have suffered when you pass the court, and you can suffer again now!" ”

The fugitive trembled, where did he dare to talk nonsense, in a vain attempt to deceive, without much hesitation, directly reported his name.

The arrester had already taken out the list for verification, and after the verification was completed, he said to the county lieutenant: "My lord, these fifteen people are all fugitives, there is no problem." ”

"Okay, take it back. Bring the bandit leader surnamed Song. Lieutenant He didn't even look at the fugitive.

As soon as the county lieutenant He ordered, the arresters acted immediately to escort the fugitives back to the mountain, and there was not much time before dark, and Yang Zhutou should be rescued as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

The two sides confronted each other for half an hour before they saw a large number of catchers coming down the mountain quickly.

"The person you want, this official has already brought, send the remaining fugitives over, and we will make the final exchange!" County Lieutenant He asked the arrester to quickly push the bandit leader forward so that the bandits on the opposite side could see clearly.

"Sect Leader Song, is that you? You okay? Cheng Wen shouted in surprise.

"It's okay, I can't die yet." Leader Song's voice was a little low, the time of the lock was too long, but he ate and drank less, the weather was hot, and his mental state was not very good, but it didn't seem to be life-threatening.

"Sect Leader Song, you wait, we will bring you back." Cheng Wen then instructed the other bandits to send the remaining fugitives over.

The arresters received the fugitive, and the verification was quickly completed, and there was no problem with the identity.

"You send the head of the Song sect here, and we will return your head catcher." Cheng Wen shouted.

County Lieutenant He didn't want to drag it out any longer, it was almost an hour since he came down from the mountain, and he was so tired that he couldn't stand it. So he didn't answer anything, just waved his hand and asked the catcher to send people over.

"My lord, what if we send the bandit leader over first, and the bandits don't let Yang catch the head?" If you are worried about catching a catch, hurry up and remind you.

"What so much nonsense, let you send it over." Lieutenant He was very impatient. He did his best to rescue Yang Congyi, and even released the captured bandits, so he didn't care whether he was a bandit or not, and it was better if the bandits were cheating, he hoped that the bandits would cheat.

Lord He's orders, the catchers did not dare not disobey. I had to take Leader Song step by step and walk towards the bandits. When they arrived at a distance of more than ten feet from the bandits, they only heard the bandits shouting, "You can go back." ”

The catchers were anxious: "Let's catch the head, you can't regret it!" ”

"If you go back, your headhunters will naturally go back. Although we are bandits, we will also be faithful, and it will be difficult to chase after us! Cheng Wen replied loudly.

Catch a quick look at Yang Congyi, who was still killed by a knife and put on his neck, let go of Leader Song, and turned back helplessly.

As soon as Leader Song came, some bandits immediately approached him to help him cut the rope that bound his hands.

He walked quickly to Yang Congyi, squeezed out a smile on his very tired face, and laughed in a low voice: "Brother Yang, I'm sorry for you." This is, "Brother Song, how are you?" Yang Congyi's lips moved slightly, and he replied in a low voice.

"I'm fine, just rest for a few days. This is not the place to talk, and in three days' time, I will be waiting for you in the woods at the foot of this mountain, and I must come. Leader Song whispered.

Although Yang Congyi didn't know what Brother Song was going to say to him, in the current situation, it was indeed not the time to talk in detail, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Song, I will definitely arrive." ”

"Let's go back." As soon as Leader Song gave an order, Cheng Wen put down the knife in his hand.

"Sect Leader Song, let's leave quickly, it's very dangerous here." As he spoke, he ordered the bandits to protect Leader Song and leave quickly.

In an instant, only Yang Congyi, whose hands were tied behind his back, was left on the field, and I saw him slowly walking towards the opposite side.

These days on the road is really tired enough, not good to eat and sleep, and frightened, now it's okay, the fugitive is brought back safely, more than half of the task is completed, as long as he finds a way to get the officers and soldiers out of Tianzhu Mountain, Lord Chen's big tree does not fall, he can rely on it steadily, whether it is the imperial examination, or the future career, there is a reliance.

"Brother Yang, are you okay?" Seeing that the bandits had all run away in an instant, the catchers hurriedly ran over and surrounded him, asking questions and asking questions, looking very enthusiastic and concerned.

Yang Congyi barely squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "It's okay, I'm just too tired, I want to sleep for three days and three nights." ”
