Chapter 48: Going up the house and pumping the ladder

Sai Zhong's heart tightened, and he hurriedly took the dagger from his wife's hand, although he had experienced a hundred battles and killed countless enemies, his hands trembled violently when he took down the note.

I saw that it was written: "If you want to save your son, see you in the Banyan Valley in the western suburbs of Chenshi." ”

"Xiangye, it's the slave family is not good, you didn't take care of Cheng'er, you were so drunk last night that you didn't wake up, you have been vomiting, after the slave family settled Cheng'er and fell asleep, he came to help you scrub your body, until the second half of the night, you quieted down, after a few days of tiring travel, the slave family was also sleepy, and when I woke up, I found that Cheng'er was empty, and I don't know when Cheng'er was taken away."

The priest hurriedly said to his entourage: "Hurry up and prepare the horse." When he turned his head and saw that his wife had cried into tears, he knew that he couldn't blame her about this matter, and he didn't complain too much.

"Okay, don't cry, for the husband, I'll go and get Cheng'er back, it'll be fine, don't be too sad, madam."

The priest quickly packed up, then went out and stepped on his horse and headed for the western suburbs.

Who could have kidnapped his son? Saving the son's heart, the priest Zhong worked hard all the way, and his brain also quickly thought, in this foreign country where he is not familiar with life, who will kidnap a child?

Wealth? It doesn't make sense to say how others know if they have money.

Seeking revenge? In a foreign country, there was no injustice in the past and no enmity in the near future, even if there is enmity, it is in Zheng Guo.

That's right! He has been in charge of the military for many years, he has always been vigorous and resolute, upright, he hates those red tape, he is straightforward and fast-talking in the court, and he has also impeached many ministers.

The location mentioned in the note is easy to find, a single road leads to the western suburbs, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the mountains are divided in two by a bottomless deep valley, and a sheep's intestine path is wrapped around the mountainside like a jade belt.

The reason why it is named Banyan Valley is only because the whole mountain is covered by banyan trees, and there is a huge banyan tree standing on the top of the mountain like a giant in the place where the path protrudes, sheltering passers-by from the wind and rain.

Sai Zhong secretly admired this avenger in his heart to pick a place, this place is quiet and easy to keep, it is a good place to negotiate, even if the negotiation collapses and wants to use force, it also takes advantage of the advantageous geographical advantage, if there is a war, no matter how many people are killed and injured, they will lift down the mountain, there are really no bones, all covered by the dense banyan tree, which suddenly makes people shudder.

The war horse that had been following the priest for many years seemed to sniff out the killing motive, and after neighing under the banyan tree, he stopped, and the priest looked around vigilantly, but no one was seen.

At this moment, suddenly from the tall banyan tree, dozens of masked black-clothed people jumped down, all of them were sturdy, holding steel knives, and surrounded the priests.

Sai Zhong is not an easy person to recognize, but at present, Xiao'er's whereabouts are unknown, obviously there are many people on the other side, and he is outnumbered, he does not dare to act recklessly, there is no need to fight senselessly, he shouted directly to the group of people in black: "Who are you?" What happened to the old man's child? ”

One of the men in black spoke, "You are the priest?" Yes, it's quite punctual, your son is indeed in our hands, as long as you obediently obey the orders and keep your old son and child safe, otherwise, this valley will be the burial place of your child. ”

"Tell me, what's the matter?" He didn't want to talk too much nonsense with them at all, and only wanted to know about his son's safety.

"Our lord values the courage and resourcefulness of our predecessors, and thinks that you are a rare talent, and my predecessors must also see that the current king is weak and incompetent, indecisive, and has no ability to govern the country at all, and wants to invite you to join the lord."

I saw that the priest Zhong frowned, and said with disdain: "You said for a long time, and you haven't told the old man who your lord is, and the implication is to seize power and usurp the throne?" Are you trying to rebel? ”

"Remind you, don't forget that your son is still in our hands, don't say it so badly, this matter is a good thing for the country and the people, and there is no loss to you, as long as you obey the Lord's orders, you will be respected by the Lord in the future."

"It doesn't matter if you don't value the old man or not, but who is your lord, and where is my son now? What have you done to him? ”

The man in black at the head snapped his fingers, only to hear the slow sound of the horse's hooves coming from the other end of the mountain road, and a man in black sat on a swarthy horse, and the man in black was holding a three- or four-year-old child with one hand in his arms, pulling the reins at the bend, and the horse stopped.

When the priest saw that it was his own Cheng'er, he was about to ride his horse to rush through the encirclement, when the group of black-clothed people followed him, and the cold steel knife directly pressed forward.

The boy seemed to see the priest too, and immediately struggled in the arms of the man in black, and cried out loudly.

"Daddy! Daddy! ”

The man in black on the black horse yelled at the child viciously: "Don't cry, cry again and throw you down to feed the wolf." ”

As he spoke, he made a gesture of throwing it down the mountain.

The child glanced at the deep canyon, turned his head in fright, and did not dare to look at it, and suddenly fell silent, grabbed the arm of the man in black, and his delicate little hands sank deep into the flesh of the man in black, and his face was so red that he did not dare to make a sound.

The man in black didn't expect the child's kung fu to be so powerful, and he gasped for a while.

What a smart person he is, he has guessed this person who wants to rebel, if it is really him, then he is a ruthless person, and now that his beloved son is in his hands, he really does not dare to act rashly.

"Cheng'er don't cry, listen to them, Daddy will come to save you."

He looked at his child with pity on his face, and he really wanted to rush over and grab it immediately, but he was held by the man in black and couldn't move.

The child was too frightened to cry, big crystal tears swirled in his eyes, and when he heard his father's comfort, tears rushed down his immature cheeks like a flood that burst the embankment, and he obediently pursed his lips and nodded again and again.

Sai Zhong closed his eyes in pain, frowned, raised his head to the sky and sighed, leaned less, only to see that his face was expressionless, squinting his eyes, narrowing his pupils to the extreme, as if he had made a difficult decision, and said in a hoarse and dull voice: "I promise you to return the child to me." ”

When the black-clothed man led by him heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed and exclaimed: "Those who know the times are handsome!" Lord Sima, please rest assured, as long as you help the Lord to successfully sit on the throne, the child will definitely raise you fat and fat, and you will be guaranteed to have a lot of hair. ”

The tall waist of the priest seemed to bend suddenly at this moment, his face was solemn, and he whispered in a deep voice: "Okay, I promise you!" Deal! ”

The man in black at the head was very excited.

"A gentleman's word!"

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

The man in black stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Since Lord Sima is so refreshing, it is better to leave early, the day of the beginning of spring is the auspicious day of the zodiac, and I hope that Lord Sima must arrange everything before that day and wait for the new king to ascend the throne." ”

After returning to his residence, he hurriedly asked his wife to clean up, said goodbye to the monarch of Song Guoguo, and hurriedly embarked on the journey back to Zheng Guo.

The plan of the year lies in spring, and people always like to make some important decisions on the day of the beginning of spring.

On the day of the beginning of spring, above the court of Zheng Guo, hundreds of civil and military officials were going to the court, and suddenly they only heard the voices of people outside, and the weapons collided with each other, and before everyone came back to their senses, they saw that the forbidden army and the guards were divided into two ways, outflanking the entire hall.

Looking at the main hall again, the bright steel knife was already on Zheng Zhaogong's neck.

Zheng Zhaogong was so frightened by this outstanding change that he was weak and collapsed on the throne.

"What are you doing? Is it trying to rebel? ”

However, a minister stood up to speak out, but he was immediately taken out by the forbidden army and beheaded on the spot, and above the court, there was a sudden silence, except for the sound of sweat beads hitting the floor, no one dared to make the slightest movement.
