At this time, Fang Cai's voice calling for An Ping's surrender sounded again, but his tone was much more contemptuous: "Hahaha! Lao Tzu told you to surrender quickly, now it's okay, become the king in the jar, right? Watch Lao Tzu light a fire outside and make you a fried soft-shelled turtle! ”

The person who spoke was none other than the "black-necked toad" under Qiu Yizhi who was in charge of the order for Wang Lao Wu, who temporarily entered Beijing. This person's voice is loud and loud, but it is a pity that he was born as a thief, and he has an indelible rudeness in his temperament, and he is not familiar with literature......

However, An Ping, who listened to the "black-necked toad", was not a Sven person, and when he heard him say this, he understood the meaning, so he also raised his throat and shouted: "You are the fucking turtle king, what kind of hero are you who hides your head and tail?" Have the ability to peek your head out of the turtle shell, let me see! ”

As soon as An Ping's words came out, the mountain seemed to be calmer.

A moment later, on a rock the size of a green cow halfway up the mountain, a person suddenly appeared in everyone's sight—this person was not tall and not amazing, but it was Qiu Yizhi himself, who Zheng Yu was looking for.

I saw him stretch out his hand and beckon a hideous-looking man beside him—that is, the "black-necked toad" himself—and whispered two words in his ear.

The "black-necked toad" nodded while listening, and when Qiu Yizhi finished speaking, he shouted to the bottom of the mountain again: "You all listen well." The adults of my family are merciful, and they only need food, not life. As I said just now, you throw down the food and grass and run for your lives, we will definitely not chase and kill, let you live, and let you eat two more mouthfuls of food! ”

Although Anping is a rough general, he is not the kind of brutal person who regards the lives of soldiers as grass mustard, and he is not completely unacceptable to listen to the meaning of Qiu Yizhi relayed by the "black-necked toad" - the so-called "stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood", this is the truth.

Therefore, An Ping thought about it carefully, and was about to answer, but heard a roar from the mountain on the other side: "Qiu Yizhi, you little thief, shut up for me!" Don't shake my military spirit here! ”

Qiu Yizhi followed the prestige and saw that the person who spoke to him was Zheng Yu, the second prince of Lingnan Wang, so he smiled and waved at him, and said loudly: "It turns out that the second prince is here, we have seen each other, don't come unharmed?" ”

Although the two of them were separated by a canyon several feet deep, the distance in a straight line was only about twenty paces, so they spoke to each other as if they were separated by a stream, and even the expressions on each other's faces could be seen clearly.

Zheng Yu looked at Qiu Yizhi with an obvious but mocking smile on his face, and a fire of ignorance immediately ignited in his heart, and he angrily reprimanded: "You little thief, how much grain and grass have you robbed me of in the past few days? Dare to call it an old man! Hold on to you, and see how I clean you up you little thief who doesn't know how thick the sky is! ”

Qiu Yizhi deliberately ignored the second half of his curse, seized the gap in the first half of the sentence, and said, "What? Listen to what the second prince meant, all the grain and grass before were yours? ”

When Zheng Yu heard Qiu Yizhi's words, he was obviously pretending to be stupid, so he replied: "Knowingly, it's not mine, how can you rob three times and twice?" I'm afraid you're going to quibble, saying that you didn't rob it, right? This flamboyant thief! ”

Qiu Yizhi smiled and replied, "Don't dare." When the second prince reminded me of this, I did remember this incident - this thing was indeed done by me, but it could not be called the word 'plunder'. ”

Qiu Yizhi swallowed his saliva, and then said: "The second prince also knows that now the imperial court is fighting against the prince of Lingzun Lingnan, and military supplies and grass are all important things. Our small county in Shanyin is not rich in products and does not have many fertile fields, where can we get so much grain and grass to feed the army defending the city? I had to scrape a few taels of silver from the passing caravans - all passing caravans, no matter what they transported, our army had to search and inspect them, and collect taxes according to the situation. This is my military order, and everyone in Sanyin County knows it. If you don't believe it, the second prince went into the city to find a person to say hello. ”

"Nonsense!" Zheng Yugang wanted to say, "If I can enter the county seat of Shanyin, why do I need to talk to you here?" ”

But if he said this sentence in his heart, it would be equivalent to admitting that he had fallen behind in front of Qiu Yizhi on the other side, which was unacceptable to his dignity as the second prince of Lingnan.

So Zheng Yuqiang held up his confidence and said against the guest: "The county town of Shanyin in your mouth has been surrounded by me, as long as I want to go in, it's just a matter of blink of an eye, and I went in with one foot." You don't talk in front of me. ”

"Since it's just a gesture, why doesn't the second prince do it? The lower official didn't understand, so he asked the second prince to show it. Although Qiu Yi's words were polite, there was still that contemptuous smile on his face.

Zheng Yu gritted his teeth and replied: "I might as well tell you, I just want to lure you out, and I am afraid that the lives under the sword and gun will be ruined and innocent people will be injured." ”

This is an obvious lie - there are only more than 10,000 people in Shanyin County, and since the uprising of Lingnan King Zheng Gui, the innocent people have been killed and injured more than a hundred times, and the lives have been devastated, and it is not a big deal to die more and die less.

However, Qiu Yizhi's father-in-law, Zheng Rong, was also the feudal king who successfully raised troops to ascend the throne, so Qiu Yizhi was inconvenient to say too clearly, so he only changed his words and said: "I didn't expect that a seven-grade small county official in Xiaqu District would have such a heavy weight here in the second prince, and he would try to lure me out." I'm really flattered here! ”

"Sure enough, it's a sharp mouth that lacks morality!" Zheng Yu scolded secretly in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Although you are a little tricky, you can be regarded as having some talents. If you can now retreat from the difficulties and change your life—my father has spoken—not only can I spare your life, but perhaps I can reward you with a half-official position. ”

Zheng Yu is respectful and afraid of his father Zheng Gui, and the meaning of subduing Qiu Yizhi, Zheng Gui has made it clear more than once, although Zheng Yu hates Qiu Yi to the bone, but he does not dare to dispose of him on his own, and has to "speak first", in fact, the next sentence is what he really wants to say: "If you are still obsessed, be careful that I will break your body into ten thousand pieces!" ”

Qiu Yizhi snorted and said: "The second prince has such kindness, thank you first." It's a pity that the loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, and although they are in a humble position, they don't dare to submit to the Lingnan prince like this. He sighed again, "Alas! There's no way, it seems that the second prince can only kill me. I'll just stay here and don't move, and the second prince can send troops over!" ”

When Zheng Yu heard this, he was immediately furious-although he himself was only about ten steps away from Qiu Yizhi, but there was an abyss canyon in it, and he was not familiar with the terrain, so he didn't know how long it would take to go around Qiu Yizhi's side, and even if he did, he would have to deal with the opponent's new force with a tired army, and he might not be completely sure.

He is only a stone's throw away from Qiu Yizhi, and if he wants to kill him, he is a hundred miles away, how easy is it?

Zheng Yu was in distress, and a general next to him said in his ear: "Second prince, it's better to take advantage of his unpreparedness and send a sharpshooter to shoot him to death on the spot!" ”

Zheng Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, nodded secretly, and said in a low voice: "Okay!" That's a great idea! One archer is not enough, you hurry up and pick two clever ones, I will stabilize this thief first, and I must succeed in one blow. ”

After saying that, Zheng Yu watched the general retreat with his spare eyes, and then shouted to Qiu Yizhi on the other side of the valley: "Okay, I won't talk to you about these things. Let me ask you, down in the valley, is my convoy, why do you dare to plunder? ”

Qiu Yizhi heard this, and pretended to be surprised: "What? Is this the convoy under the second prince? I thought it was a tea and horse caravan that wanted to collect taxes! ”

This is an obvious lie--if it was an ordinary caravan, why did he have to go out of his way to determine Anping's whereabouts, then release water to irrigate the stream, lure this sentry into this place of execution, and finally attract the second prince Zheng Yu.

Zheng Yu knew it in his heart, but pretended to be confused: "Since this is the case, then you don't want your subordinates to let them go!" ”

This is an obvious nonsense - he and Qiu Yizhi are between life and death, not a three-year-old child, how could he let go of the transport convoy that he had worked so hard to surround because of his light and clever words?

The two of them each had their own ghosts, and while they were talking, Zheng Yu's two sharpshooters were already ready—they held their breath and aimed for a long time, seizing the opportunity of a sudden mountain breeze to stop, and shot two sharp arrows at the same time, shooting towards Qiu Yizhi's face.

Seeing that Qiu Yizhi's life was about to be explained between the mountains, he saw a very vigorous and brisk figure suddenly flash out beside him, and he didn't know what technique he used, so he grabbed the two sharp arrows in his right hand at the same time, and said to Qiu Yizhi with a smile: "Little uncle, I saved your life again today, see how you want to thank me in the future." ”

This person is Yu Chi Jiming, who is personally guarding Qiu Yizhi - she is the daughter of Chi Lianghong, the chief captain of the Martial Arts League, who is recognized as the world's No. 1 martial arts, and it is of course a piece of cake to catch two arrows.

Qiu Yizhi was stunned, looking at the pair of silver shining arrows that were still directed at him, and only after a while did he know that he had just walked in front of the ghost gate, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and forced himself to calm down: "Okay!" Ji Ming's kung fu is really getting better and better, I thought you would have to use both hands to block these two arrows, but I didn't expect you to do it with only one hand, it's amazing! As he spoke, a cold sweat broke out on his back.

Saying that, Qiu Yizhi took the two bows and arrows from Yu Chi Jiming's hands, barely squeezed out a smile, and said to Zheng Yu: "Second prince, we are talking well, why do you hurt people with secret arrows?" This is not the work of a decent gentleman, is it? ”

Zheng Yu on the opposite side was stunned by this scene. He had also heard that there was an old woman in black beside the Tianzun Sect Master, who caught an arrow with her bare hands and saved her father's life; However, on the battlefield, he had only heard of blocking bows and arrows with heavy armor and thick shields, and there was never a reason to catch arrows with his flesh hands - he was not present at the time, so it was just gossip.

But today, Zheng Yu really saw someone performing such a stunt, he couldn't help but believe it, and he had to excuse himself in a panic: "The two armies are fighting, you are doing life and death, no matter what kind of righteous and gentlemanly behavior you have!" ”

"Hahaha!" Qiu Yizhi laughed loudly, "What a 'you live or die'!" But the second prince, there is something I want to tell you - otherwise, I may not be as good as you, but you are far behind in the kung fu of bows and crossbows and arrows! ”

After that, Qiu Yizhi summoned Qiu Yizhi and said: "You let your subordinates shoot two volleys at the opposite side, so that they can quietly attack our army." He whispered again, "Don't hurt Zheng Yu's life." ”

When the two armies clash, it is an unheard-of order to save the life of the opponent's commander.
