At the foot of Wutuo Mountain, a large group of people and horses are busy setting up camp, and after a while, simple tents have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, forming a semicircle to enclose the only way into Wutuo Mountain. The tent at the front was slightly larger than the others, and in the tent, two young men were talking.

"Dongsheng, tell me, what are we going to do next?" said the seated man.

"Childe, you better go to the carriage behind you to rest first, it's too close to the bandits, it's not safe. Another standing man spoke.

"How can I, An Shaowen, be greedy for life and afraid of death! Let you talk about plans, what nonsense!" The man who claimed to be An Shaowen glared at the man who was standing, and said with some annoyance

"Then I'll tell you the truth, don't be angry, childe. ”

"That's a lot of nonsense, talk about it quickly. An Shaowen waved his hand impatiently.

"Although the city lord has the heart to suppress thieves, but he has no power to suppress thieves, this time he hurriedly recruited soldiers, it seems that there are nearly a thousand people, but less than half of them can really fight, let alone fight against bandits who live on the knife all year round. The garrison in the city has the strength to kill thieves, but the city lord did not send a single soldier, and the article in this should be very clear. The man named Dongsheng saw An Shaowen's face a little ugly, and didn't say anything further.

"Damn An Shaojie, it's not his ghost!" An Shaowen said hatefully, "What you said is still a bunch of nonsense, I invited you to be a strategist, now in this situation, I am already difficult to ride a tiger, you also heard what I said in front of my father, if you don't make some achievements, you won't be laughed at by An Shaojie's bastard." Besides, just a few bandits, under the cultivation of my Qi Realm, it is not easy to capture, you quickly analyze how we attack the mountain, there is only one way, if the loss is too great if it is ambushed, it will not be easy to explain it back. Although An Shaowen believes that he is stronger than bandits, he is not stupid, he knows that no matter how strong he is, he can't kill more bandits, so he still has to rely on soldiers.

Dong Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, Childe, before I came, I read in detail the information and documents related to the bandits in Wutuo Mountain, and I have a little understanding of the situation on the mountain. ”

"Oh, let's talk about it!" An Shaowen's eyes lit up and he said eagerly.

"Wutuo Mountain terrain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is only one way up the mountain, there are more than 300 bandits and bandits gathered on the mountain, the person named Ma San is the leader, he is a very vicious person, it is said that the strength is very high, the cultivation is not clear, but it will not be an entry monk, at most it is an innate martial arts realm. Although Ma San is brave and unscrupulous, everyone under his command is very convinced of him, so it is better to ...... like us" Dongsheng leaned close to An Shaowen's ear and whispered.

"Hahaha, good idea!" An Shaowen stroked his palms and laughed, "That's it, you hurry up and go down and make arrangements." ”

"Although the method is good, it's just your safety ...... Childe," Dongsheng hesitated.

"My cultivation is not at ease for you, there are only a handful of people in Aoki City who are stronger than me, go quickly. An Shaowen's face showed pride, urging Dongsheng to hurry up and do something.

Dong Sheng should have turned around and walked out of the tent, called a few captains and other characters, and ordered his own arrangements. Several people had hesitation on their faces after hearing this, and Dongsheng could only move out of the name of the son and force everyone's thoughts.

It was nearly evening, and all the soldiers were gathering and chatting idly, when suddenly, there was a loud shout from the tent where An Shaowen was, "What are you going to do?

Several captains had already gathered together, and when they heard the agreed signal, they hurriedly shouted in unison, "Oh no, Childe has been kidnapped, everyone go and save Childe!" After shouting, several people did not rush to the place where the accident occurred, but scattered to call the soldiers of their teams to save people.

Hula, almost all the soldiers scattered everywhere ran towards An Shaowen's tent, some heard the captain's shout and knew what was wrong, and some of the peripheral soldiers didn't know what the situation was, and they all ran with weapons in a daze. For a time, the whole camp was in chaos.

At this time, An Shaowen's curtain was lifted from the inside, and Dong Sheng's right hand was holding a knife on An Shaowen's neck, and An Shaowen was obediently pulled by Dong Sheng's arm and walked out. The soldiers outside saw that this was okay, the son of the city lord was held hostage, if he made a mistake, everyone here would be doomed. A few soldiers who believed that they were good at force were ready to come to the rescue, but they were stopped by the captains who were standing in the front row.

"Don't move! Whoever dares to take a step forward, if my hand shakes, you know the consequences. Dongsheng shouted.

Several captains also spoke up at the same time to dissuade and cooperate with Dongsheng's actions. Dong Sheng drove An Shaowen and walked slowly towards the intersection of the mountain, under the deliberate command of the captains, the crowd made a cut, Dong Sheng came to the mountain pass smoothly, and the soldiers could only watch their An Gongzi being held hostage by their own advisers up the mountain.

The captains shouted to reassure the people who were looking at each other, telling everyone not to be impulsive and to go back to the camp to stand by.

"Dongsheng, can this work? wouldn't it be in vain if the bandits didn't let us go up the mountain?" Seeing that the narrow mountain road in front of them was full of stones, the two people who couldn't move forward stopped, waited for a while without any movement, An Shaowen asked a little impatiently.

"No hurry, wait. Dongsheng's mouth moved slightly, and he said in a low voice.

As soon as the words fell, An Shaowen's voice followed, "Someone is coming!"

The two hurriedly changed the expressions on their faces and entered their roles, waiting for someone to come.

After a while, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps behind the stone pile, and the stones blocking the road were quickly removed, and a group of fierce and vicious strong men walked out, and the first person shouted at An Shaowen and the two, "Who are you, do you know what kind of place this is?

Dong Sheng replied loudly, "Don't worry, hero, let me say something, when I finish speaking, your boss is afraid that he will invite me to go up the mountain." ”

The bandit on the opposite side sneered, drew the blade on his waist and led everyone to kill the two.

"Who dares to do it, I am An Shaowen, the son of the city lord of Aoki City, do you want to be wiped out?" An Shaowen shouted violently, and all the thieves and bandits stopped, looked at An Shaowen, and then looked at Dong Sheng, who was holding a knife on An Shaowen's neck, a little dumbfounded.

"I heard it all, the son of the city lord of Aoki City is now being held hostage by me, I want to go up the mountain to see you Third Master Ma, get out of the way!" Dongsheng said calmly.

"Wait a minute!" the leading bandit was unmoved, turned his head and whispered a command, and then drank to the two of them.

Dongsheng and An Shaowen saw a bandit behind them running quickly towards the mountain, and knew that they were going to report to Ma San, so they were no longer in a hurry and waited quietly.

It was soon dark, the bandits lit their torches, and both groups waited quietly for news from the mountains. About half an hour or so, the person who went to report the news led more than 20 people with torches and appeared majestically, and after whispering a few words to the leading bandit, the leading bandit let in

Everyone got out of the way and beckoned Dongsheng and the others to go up the mountain.

An Shaowen and Dongsheng glanced at each other, and there was excitement in both of their eyes.

The mountain of Wutuo Mountain is indeed steep, the road up the mountain is very difficult, and it took more than two hours to climb around and around, and An Shaowen and the others followed the bandits to a flat and empty place. An Shaowen was silently memorizing the direction of the route all the way, although it was night, it was not difficult for him to cultivate in the Qi Realm.

A dozen or so dilapidated wooden houses are scattered around the hilltop platform, except for a large stone house in the center. An Shaowen didn't expect that the environment in which the powerful bandits lived was so dilapidated, and he really didn't know what the property they robbed was used for.

An Shaowen was staring left and right, and there was a sound of laughter from the stone house, and then a man in his thirties walked out of the stone house and greeted An Shaowen and the others.

"I don't know if Gongzi An is coming, Ma Laosan and I have missed the distance, and I hope to forgive my sins!" The man smiled loudly at An Shaowen.

"Third Master Ma, right, you seem to have made a mistake, and now I have the right to speak, not An Gongzi!"

"Yes, yes, blame me, blame me, I was a little excited to see Gongzi An, who had admired the name for a long time, I made a mistake, don't care. This son, tell me your intentions, take the city lord son up the mountain to find me Ma San, what do you have to say?" Ma San looked at Dongsheng with a smile.

Seeing Ma San's expression, An Shaowen's heart was bad, he was afraid that he would be recognized, he was not afraid of being recognized, he was originally coming for the thief Ma San, but it was better to be surprised than for others to be on guard. He was busy running his vitality and was ready to strike at any time.

Dong Sheng didn't seem to notice anything abnormal, and still said calmly, "This person has a big enmity against me, I hid my identity and mixed into the City Lord's Mansion to get close to this person, just to be able to take revenge one day, but I enjoyed a few days of glory and wealth, and I don't want to be sent to death again, I will definitely die if I kill this person, I heard that Ma Sanye is benevolent and heroic, and I just had this opportunity to take this person hostage and want to exchange a wealth with Ma Sanye, and from then on I followed Ma Sanye and obeyed the dispatch." ”

"Oh, interesting, interesting. Okay, I believe your words, come on, take care of An Shao City Lord for this son, this son should be very tired after holding the knife for so long, right, childe?" Ma San said to Dongsheng with a smile.

Dong Sheng put down the knife in his hand and smiled at Ma San in response, "Thank you Ma San Ye for your trust, this person will be handed over to you." ”

An Shaowen thought to himself, what's wrong with Dong Sheng today, why is he so confused now, he can see that Ma San doesn't believe Dong Sheng's words at all, why is he still acting, isn't he so scared that his brain is funny. Forget it, wait and see, if there is no chance of a sneak attack, then you can only attack.

Dongsheng's plan is very simple, he made up a reason, pretending to take An Shaowen up the mountain to give Ma San as a meeting gift, Ma San will definitely not kill An Shaowen directly, that will cause the anger of the city lord of Aoki, he Ma San will not have a good end, as long as Ma San does not do it directly, An Shaowen will find an opportunity to take Ma San, capture the thief and capture the king first, so as to deter the thieves, and capture Wutuo Mountain without blood.

"Invite our son An to the dungeon, I want to have a good talk with this son. Ma San ordered his subordinates to take An Shaowen away, and after speaking, he took Dongsheng's arm and turned around to go back to the house. Dongsheng seemed to understand at this time, and hurriedly glanced at An Shaowen, meaning to seize the opportunity of his back to you and prepare to make a move.

An Shaowen secretly sighed stupidly Dongsheng, everyone else is going to arrest you, you are still ignorant, but even if Ma San is on guard, he doesn't know his own strength at all, and it is easier to succeed in sneaking attacks from behind.

An Shaowen waited until Ma San turned around completely, and the vitality of his whole body surged rapidly, instantly dodging the two thieves guarding him next to him, and grabbed the back of Ma San's neck.
