Zhao Qi, who was out of control, had been untied from the rope on his hand, revealing his figure beside the scar-faced man, the regret in Song Nan's heart was indescribable, along the way, he had already added great importance to this Zhao Qi, and there was nothing unusual about Zhao Qi's appearance, how could he let this guy inform the thieves to wait for him here, and he was afraid that he would die here.

Like a big white goose that has won a fight, Zhao Qi stepped forward with his head held high, laughed and said, "Lord Song, hahaha, what did Lao Tzu say?" Spare you like a ghost, and you still want to follow the Tao of Lao Tzu. ”

Song Nan said coldly: "Zhao Qi, you have lost your precious chance to live, and this kind of opportunity will not be there again." ”

Zhao Qi laughed and said: "When you die, you have a fucking hard mouth, you guy with fine skin and tender meat, Lao Tzu is going to capture you alive and let thousands of brothers take turns to manipulate you." ”

The scar-faced man glanced at Zhao Qi and said unhappily: "Brother madman, why are you so dirty, if you put down this word, can you still capture this guy alive?" I won't let you come here. ”

Zhao Qi nodded hurriedly and smiled: "Sixth Master, my brother is just scaring and scaring him, and it is up to the Sixth Master to decide." ”

Song Nan watched coldly, guessing that this scar-faced man might be the bandit leader Liu Liu, and the person next to him who looked like him was probably Liu Qi.

Liu Liu slowly stepped forward and glanced up and down a lot of Song Nan, and suddenly bowed and said, "Lord Song, is it?" Wen'an and Liu Pet are courteous. ”

Song Nan also stared at the leader of the thieves who set off the monstrous waves of the Ming Dynasty, and said politely: "Song Nan, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, is polite. ”

The corners of Liu Liu's mouth rose: "Suppress the thieves and the governors?" Since ancient times, you have become kings and defeated couges, and today you have fallen into such a field, do you still call us thieves? ”

Song Nan sneered: "Becoming a king and defeating a villain, that's right; But I don't know who fled to the mountains in Weishan Lake? ”

Liu Liu's face was gloomy, and he said: "That's called knowing the times, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, you can defeat me on the shore of Weishan Lake, but you may not be able to defeat me in this big mountain." The winner is the one who laughs to the end, and now that you have fallen into my net, what is the use of even if you are a hero before? ”

Song Nan said: "My officers and soldiers 10,000 soldiers and horses are about to gather outside the valley under the mountain, even if I die here, you will not be able to escape destruction, this is the last laugh." ”

Liu Liu looked up to the sky and laughed: "Can your 10,000 officers and soldiers attack this valley?" If you can overcome it so lightly, why do you have to take the risk to touch this mountain in person, waiting for the opportunity to take people into the valley to join the outside? It's because you're not sure that you're doing it. And at this moment, you have fallen into my net, Song Nan, you better put down the firearms and blades and catch them. Don't worry, you are still useful to us, my brothers will not be rude to you, and I will tell you about the conditions with the court. ”

Song Nan was thinking about a way to get out in his mind, while delaying time, and asked, "I have something I don't know, and I want to ask you to answer for me." ”

Liu Liudao: "I guess you must be asking why we got the news and set up an ambush here." ”

Song Nan said: "Exactly." ”

Liu Liu laughed, looked at Zhao Qi and said, "Crazy, sue Lord Song for your means." ”

Zhao Qi stepped forward proudly and said: "Lord Song is shrewd enough, along the way, I wanted to leave one or two secret whistles not to point out, so that the brothers of the secret whistle can pass the news back, but Lord Song is very cunning, every time he unexpectedly asks the location and route of the secret whistle, he asks more than a dozen times a day, if there is any contradiction in my answer, you will see the lie." ”

Song Nan snorted coldly, he used this method to verify the authenticity of Zhao Qi's words, and suddenly asked the location of the secret sentinel from time to time, the number of people, and the route every day, so as to judge the authenticity of Zhao Qi's words by observing his words and colors, but he did not see any flaws.

"Lao Tzu is not a fool, he knows that if he makes a fuss about this, sooner or later you will see the clues, so he simply does not do anything and tells you the whole truth, so that no matter how you ask, you will not be able to see the flaws."

"Originally, when I came out to do errands, I usually had to return to the valley to report in no more than one day and one night, and even if I didn't come back, I would send someone back to report the news; This time, I deliberately rubbed the time and delayed for three days and three nights, even if I didn't send the news back, the sixth and seventh masters would understand that something had happened to me outside. ”

Liu Liu Liu Qi pinched his chin and smiled, and Liu Qi, who had a peaceful face, said with a smile: "There are two women brought in from Jinpo Town in the madman brother's tent, if he doesn't return for a day, he will definitely worry that someone will rob him, so he will come back within a day." ”

Zhao Qi laughed and said: "The seventh master also came to make fun of me, what is a woman, I, Zhao Madman, have always been careful in handling things, if I don't go back, something will happen." ”

Liu Qi smiled: "That's true, I'm just joking." ”

Song Nan sighed and asked, "Even so, you didn't write a piece of paper to send back, how could you arrange this trap?" ”

Zhao Qi said proudly: "Because, I put down the message tree on the road, do you know what the message tree is?" Haha, I'm afraid you didn't even think of that. Along the way, there is our news tree on the top of the hill and on the slope, and at the beginning I was afraid that the secret sentinel on the road would find out and escape, so that you would be on alert as soon as possible; So I had to endure until the north slope of the hill before pretending to fall down and overwhelm the last message tree to deliver the news to the valley. ”

Song Nan nodded and said, "I really don't know, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful." ”

Zhao Qi laughed and said, "Isn't Lao Tzu playing with you?" You kid is cunning, and if you are not careful, you will find out, so I have to think carefully, not to let you take the lives of more than 200 brothers along the way, in order to lead you here. ”

Song Nan smacked his lips and said: "Then, when the news tree is down, Liu Liu and Liu Qi will know what to do, and you trick me into drilling into the trap, I'm afraid this is also a secret agreement, right?" ”

Zhao Qi smiled and said: "That's nature, there are more than a dozen news trees in the valley, and each one of them is a promised code; I overwhelmed the third tree, that is to lure the enemy up the mountain, the sixth master and the seventh master are wise and martial, how can they not know my intentions. ”

Song Nan nodded slightly and said, "No wonder you are trying your best to take us to this mountain, I still wonder why the dense trees on the right side of the mountain are easier to hide, but you don't agree." ”

Zhao Yi said with a smile: "It's too late to understand now, you might as well tell sù that the stone steps on the mountain on the right side from the valley have not been dug yet, so you can't swagger and let the sixth and seventh masters take a large team of people to set up an ambush in front of you, and the ladders are chiseled on the cliff wall here, just climb up from the valley to set up an ambush, and you don't know it." Even if you stare at the mouth of the valley, you won't see anything unusual. ”

Song Nan sighed and said: "You can be said to be deliberate, what you didn't say, this official was played with by you, that is your own stupidity, but you don't complain." ”

Zhao Qi laughed and said: "So far, you naturally have nothing to say, I advise you, just tie your hands obediently, you are such a big official, we will not kill you lightly, treat you with good food and drink, force the officers and soldiers outside the mountain to retreat, and then make a deal with you with the imperial court; Maybe your court cherishes you and will spend a lot of money to ransom you out. ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "You are wishful thinking, how can the court make a deal with you because of me, it is you who should surrender, I can persuade the court to recruit you, so that you can wash away your guilt and become a court official." ”

Liu Liu and Liu Qi were stunned, and suddenly laughed; Liu Liu shook his head again and again, and Liu Qi smiled and said, "Lord Song, are you wishful thinking, Zhao'an?" Thank you for your kindness; Although we are not scholars, we may not know a truth; When we were children, we also heard the story of the storyteller in the teahouse about one hundred and eight generals in Shuibo Liangshan, those heroes in the green forest are all heroes and heroes, if you don't believe in any nonsense, how can you die one by one? But you came to persuade us to recruit peace? It's a laughing death. ”

Song Nan was speechless, the story of the Water Margin had been written in the early Ming Dynasty, and it was widely circulated among the people, and everyone knew it to adults and children, it was impossible to deceive them into recruiting An, and Song Nan was only seeking a way to get out.

"Lord Song, don't use your brains anymore, you twenty or so people can't make big waves, so those who know the current affairs will put down their weapons and arrest them, saving everyone trouble." Liu Liu began to get impatient.

Song Nan shook his head and said: "If we are arrested, the court will not give you what you want, the court will not make a deal with you, I am just a small person." ”

"Don't lie to us, we already know your details, you are a celebrity in front of the emperor's child, or the commander of the Jinyi Guard Yamen, and the son-in-law of the British Mansion, with these three identities, how could the court not save you? Even if the emperor doesn't care whether you live or die, will the British Mansion not be able to watch the county lord of the British Mansion become a widow? Liu Qi sneered.

Song Nan sighed, looked at the twenty brothers around him, and suddenly remembered that he was also on Zhao Yi in terms of numbers, this guy was in the name of being few people and not easy to be noticed, so he insisted that he bring fewer people, now it's okay, there are only twenty people around, and in the face of the siege of hundreds of archers around, it is impossible to escape.

"My lord, if everyone is going to die here, it is also the will of heaven, so please give an order, we will never surrender." The guards whispered.

Song Nan looked over at the faces of the guards one by one, and saw that although everyone was nervous, they had a generous and fearless look, so he couldn't help but sigh, turned back to Liu Liu and Liu Qi and said: "I admit defeat, and you are not allowed to hurt my brothers, otherwise we will be killed." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and threw the fire gun to the ground, and then unsheathed the embroidered spring knife and threw it on the ground, the guards behind him were all stunned, Song Nan frowned and shouted: "What are you still stunned for?" Drop your weapon. ”

The guards had no choice but to disarm one after another.

Liu Liuhe nodded and said: "Okay, he is worthy of being a character, he can bend and stretch, and he is decisive in decision-making, and I admire." The people who came, all of them were tied up, and they were escorted down the mountain. ”
