The sun has completely set, and most of the people in the countryside are reluctant to waste lamp oil, so after dark, most people will choose to lie down in bed to sleep, and there is no entertainment, which also makes the countryside quiet early in the evening, only a few birds or wild beasts can be heard from time to time in the distant mountains. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In a farmland to the northeast of the Ministry of Agriculture, corn had grown to waist-high height, and as long as people squatted in it, they basically couldn't see people, and Li Xiu was tied up in a very shameful posture at this time, and he was pulled here from the woods on the side of Xiaolinzhuang.

"Who are you and what are you going to do?" Li Xiu finally had the opportunity to ask at this time, just now he ran to the woods outside Xiaolinzhuang, but was beaten by the tall guy in front of him, and his face was full of flowers, and before he could stand up, a steel knife was put on his neck, and then he was tied up without saying anything, and was dragged here.

"Boy, do you want to die or live?" I only heard the other party's voice ask in a gloomy voice, judging from his voice, the other party is likely to be a middle-aged man, and the other party is tall and powerful, which makes Li Xiu can't help but sketch the image of a robber with a beard in his mind.

"Naturally, I want to live, if you're just asking for money, there's really no need to hurt my life!" Li Xiu also said quite calmly at this time, but he hated him very much at this time, this guy not only kidnapped him, but also let him fall face to the ground when he wrestled just now, but now his face is hot, and he doesn't know if he has broken his appearance?

"Hmph, listen to the meaning of your words, it seems that you are still a rich man in the countryside!" I only heard the other party sneer at this time, but then he spoke again, "But don't worry, Lao Tzu doesn't ask for money, and I don't like your little white face, I just need you to show me the way!" ”

"Directions? What is the way? Li Xiu couldn't help but look at the other party in surprise when he heard this, and at the same time his eyes widened and wanted to see the other party's appearance clearly, but unfortunately the sky was too dark, and the dark clouds in the sky blocked most of the moonlight, so he couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly.

"It's very simple, from here to the north is Zhongnan Mountain, I want to go into the mountain, but I made a mistake before, and now there are people from the government in various mountain passes to check, you are a local, you must know some hidden shortcuts to enter the mountain, as long as you take me into the mountain, I will let you go back, how about it?" I only heard the other party slow down his tone at this time, and it sounded really simple.

Believe in you to have a ghost! Li Xiu scolded secretly when he heard this, just now he thought he had encountered a robber blocking the way, but now he realized that he had encountered an outlaw who had committed a crime, and he could make the government dispatch so many people to block the road into the mountain, this guy committed a lot of crimes, if he really took him into the mountain, I am afraid that he would also be slaughtered by him, so as not to reveal his whereabouts.

"This strong man, I do know the way into the mountain, but I don't know if there are officials to guard it, and if you tie me up like this, I can't show you the way." Li Xiu deliberately pretended to be timid at this time, at this time, he had to show his use value, and at the same time restore the freedom of his body, so that it was possible to escape.

I saw that this tall outlaw heard Li Xiu's words, stood there and seemed to ponder for a moment, and then suddenly stepped forward and cut the rope on Li Xiu's body with a single stroke of the knife. The hands and feet regained their freedom, but after being tied for so long, the blood did not circulate, causing the hands and feet to become numb, and as a result, Li Xiu took a long time to get up.

Seeing that Li Xiu was so useless, the other party seemed to sneer, but he didn't say anything, the weaker Li Xiu's body, the easier it was for him to control, and he had already discovered when he arrested someone just now, although this person was young, he had not practiced martial arts, he was just an ordinary person.

"I don't know what to call this good man?" Li Xiu moved his hands and feet for a moment, and then stepped forward with a smile to beg for a while.

"Don't talk nonsense, lead the way!" However, the other party obviously didn't eat Li Xiu's set, and ordered in a stern voice.

"No problem, but most of the land around is the princess's family, and there are usually guards from the princess's family patrolling, so in addition to those officials, we also have to be careful." Li Xiu spoke again at this time, in order to gain a little trust from the other party, he also had to reveal a little information, and if he was lucky, he might also take something out of the other party's mouth.

"Princess? Which princess? Sure enough, the other party couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Li Xiu's words, but from his words, Li Xiu also knew that this guy didn't know where he was at all, and it was likely that he was chased by the officials, so he fled here, although he knew that the south was Zhongnan Mountain, but he didn't know where he was.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu was more sure in his heart, because the less the other party knew, the more sure he was to do it, but at the same time, he suddenly thought of the maiden at home, which made him feel a pain in his heart, and he couldn't wait to get rid of this guy immediately, so that he could go home and see if their mother and son were safe?

"Naturally, it's Princess Pingyang, most of the fields near here belong to her family, some time ago, the Women's Army and King Qin almost fought, but even so, the princess is still good, I heard that even King Qin is afraid of the princess!" Li Xiu deliberately spoke again.

"Hmph, in the opinion of the little people, although Princess Pingyang is powerful, she is also a tiger with her teeth pulled out now!" Hearing Li Xiu's words, he saw the other party snort coldly with disdain.

Li Xiu was shocked when he heard the other party's words, because the other party's words revealed an important news, especially the last sentence, he said that Princess Pingyang was a tiger with teeth extracted, which must have referred to the fact that the women's army was absorbed, and this matter is difficult for ordinary people to contact except for the people in the court, that is to say, this guy's previous identity is definitely not ordinary.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help frowning, but at this time, the other party began to scold and urge him to lead the way, which made Li Xiu annoyed, but he didn't dare to resist, and was thinking about getting out while walking in front of him.

After walking forward for about a hundred steps, the official office of the Ministry of Agriculture appeared in front of him, although it was night, but most of the officials in the official office lived here, and they were willing to get lamp oil, so the lights were bright here, but at this time, the guy behind Li Xiu suddenly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, what is the place in front?" ”

"It's the Ministry of Agriculture, which is part of Sinong Temple, and it's set up to promote two high-yielding crops, corn and sweet potatoes." Li Xiu replied casually that there was a lantern in front of the gate of the Ministry of Agriculture, and as long as you walked a little further, you could see the plaque on the gate, so there was no need to lie.

"Huh? You kid seems to be very clear about the affairs of the government, and the tone of your voice should be a scholar, who are you? But as soon as Li Xiu's words fell, the kidnappers behind him finally began to suspect Li Xiu's identity at this time, although he couldn't see Li Xiu's appearance and clothes clearly, but he could also feel some from the way he spoke.

"Me? My family is also a thin land, I have read some books since I was a child, and I once wanted to work in the Ministry of Agriculture, but unfortunately there is no way, so I have some understanding of the Ministry of Agriculture. Li Xiu also secretly screamed at this time, fortunately, the good habits cultivated in the shopping mall in his previous life saved him, for him, lying is simply an instinctive reaction, and sometimes it even needs to be deliberately controlled, after all, people can't live by lies alone.

"Oh? Why do you run on a country road in the evening, when your family has a lot of land? This kidnapper was obviously a very suspicious person, and Li Xiu's remarks did not completely dispel his suspicions.

"Alas, don't hide it from the hero, the wife under the birth today, but I didn't expect to have a difficult birth, the mother and son are both dying, I just heard that there is a miracle doctor over there in Xiaolinzhuang, so I came to ask the miracle doctor to help, but I only have a horse, so I let the doctor ride back first, I chased after the back, but I didn't expect to encounter a hero blocking the way, until now I don't know whether the wife and children at home are dead or alive?" Li Xiu sighed at this time, and couldn't help but have a sour nose at the end.

The most clever realm of lying is eight points of truth and two points of falsehood, and the false place can not be too obvious, the true place is more sincere, and even you believe these falsehoods, only in this way can you deceive others.

Sure enough, hearing Li Xiu's flawless words, the kidnappers no longer dwelled on this issue, and immediately opened his mouth again and ordered: "Bypass this official office and take me into the mountain quickly!" ”

Li Xiu actually wanted to escape into the official office, although the Ministry of Agriculture is a small yamen, but because it is in the countryside, there are still some officials in the yamen, and most of them have retired from the army, if he can escape to the official office, it will be no problem to ensure his safety, but unfortunately this guy behind him will not give himself any chance at all.

In desperation, Li Xiu had to turn around and prepare to bypass the Ministry of Agriculture, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a rush of horses' hooves in the distance, which made the kidnappers behind him pounce at once, squatting in the cornfield according to Li Xiu, and at the same time put the steel knife on his neck, and roared in a low voice: "If you dare to make a sound, I will kill you!" ”

Li Xiu still wanted to go back alive to see Pingyang and Yiniang, at this time he was naturally honest and obedient, and then he saw several horsemen on the path in the distance galloping, and rushed to the door of the Ministry of Agriculture and knocked on the door, Li Xiu's eyes were sharp, and he immediately recognized that these knights were the guards of the princess's mansion, and it seemed that the family must have known the news of his disappearance, so they sent people to look around.

This should have been a thing that made Li Xiu happy, but now he was full of wry smiles, because the guy next to him was by no means an ordinary person, and he was very suspicious, although he couldn't hear the conversation between those knights and the people from the Ministry of Agriculture here, but he could also see that they were looking for someone, so I am afraid that he would definitely be able to guess that his identity was not ordinary, and the lie just now was also in vain.

The guards of the princess's mansion naturally found nothing here in the Ministry of Agriculture, so several people got on their horses again, and looked around while letting the horses jog, as if hoping to find some traces, but at this time, the kidnapper put the steel knife against Li Xiu's neck, and the cold blade was numb all over his body, and Li Xiu did not dare to move at all, because he knew that if he moved or made any noise at this time, the kidnapper would cut his throat mercilessly, even if there was a miracle doctor Sun Simiao, he would definitely not be able to save him.

Li Xiu and the others were still more than a hundred steps away from the road, and it was dark, and there were no flashlights in this era, only the torches in the hands of a few knights illuminated, and they couldn't see the situation in the distance at all, plus there was a half-human-high corn to cover them, so they finally found nothing, and finally rode away on horseback.

However, with the light of the fire in the hands of those guards, Li Xiu finally saw the appearance of the kidnapper next to him, unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be a middle-aged man with a weakened face, but his figure was very burly, and he was wearing a coarse cloth coat, but he was definitely not an ordinary person, because he had a bad aura all over his body, this kind of evil qi Li Xiu was very familiar with, he had seen it from Ma Ye, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin and others, in other words, this person was definitely a military general.

The other party is a military general, and now he is fleeing in all directions, which makes Li Xiu's mind flash, and he suddenly thinks of a person, if the other party is really this person, it is really a narrow road.

"Hehe, boy, who are you, those guys who were looking for people just now knew at a glance that they were soldiers in the army, don't use the words of any country scholars to prevaricate me!" Seeing those guards walking away, I only heard the kidnapper smile coldly, but there was still a hint of excitement and pride in the laughter, he was just casually catching a local to lead the way, but he didn't expect to catch a big fish with a lot of money.

"It doesn't matter who I am, but I didn't expect your life to be so big, and being escorted to Chang'an actually let you escape, and you haven't been arrested for so long, am I right, General Wang Junkuo!" Now that the lie has been revealed, Li Xiu didn't bother to pretend anymore, but preemptively revealed the other party's identity.

In fact, Li Xiu should have guessed a long time ago that he could make the imperial court use so many people to block the intersection into the mountain, and he also knew that the women's army was absorbed, and the only person who met these conditions was Wang Junkuo, who made a big fuss in Chang'an some time ago, and now he saw that he was a military general, which made Li Xiu confirm his guess.

At this time, the dark clouds in the sky had been blown away by the night wind, and the semicircular moon shot out of the misty moonlight, and Li Xiu could vaguely see the other party's expression, and when he said the three words "Wang Junkuo", the other party's expression was obviously shocked, and the steel knife on his neck also trembled, almost cutting the epidermis on Li Xiu's neck, but this also proved that Li Xiu's guess was correct.

I saw Wang Junkuo silent for a moment, and finally suddenly sneered and said: "It's really amazing, you guessed my identity, then I might as well guess your identity, I can know my news, and I appeared in Princess Pingyang's fiefdom again, and I am so young, and my mind is so meticulous, after the disappearance, those people are looking around, and I am afraid that the only one who can meet this condition is the new concubine, Li Xiu Li Festival Bar?"
