Waiting for Lin Haotian to write an edict and hand it to Wang Yu, the latter gave his hand. Before he went out, Lin Haotian didn't raise his head and reminded: "This gold and silver is not a small amount, after the matter is completed, let Shao Lin send it back to the treasury as soon as possible to pay the account." ”

Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, looked back at Lin Haotian who was commenting on the official document in surprise, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

From beginning to end, he didn't say a word about the inside story, but he still couldn't hide it from the eyes of adults! Secretly admiring in his heart, he nodded and responded: "Don't worry, my lord, I will remind General Shao at the end." ”

"Well, let's do it!" Lin Haotian said no more, and his attention returned to the mountain of official documents.

Things went smoothly, Wang Yu returned to the General's Mansion, and at the same time brought 20,000 taels of silver and 2,000 taels of gold with him.

Du Qing was overjoyed, took Du Bo, welcomed out of the palace, and brought Wang Yu into the palace.

"Lord Wang has done the old man a great favor this time!" Du Qing thanked Wang Yu for his kindness, and the latter said with a light smile: "The general should not thank the officials, but the adults!"

"This ......" Du Qing hesitated for a moment, did not speak immediately, knowing that he had a long-standing grudge against adults, Wang Yu immediately interjected the topic and said: "Now that the gold and silver have been gathered, I wonder when the kidnappers agreed to pay the ransom?"

"It's time tonight. As he spoke, Du Qing handed the kidnapper's letter to Wang Yu, who took it and read it carefully, read it from beginning to end, then put down the letter and said to Du Qing: "The general will go according to the kidnapper's request! The kidnappers usually value money and will not kill innocent ......people indiscriminately."

Before he finished speaking, Du Bo questioned dissatisfiedly: "What? It sounds like Lord Wang's lieutenant's mansion doesn't plan to send someone to escort his father?"

Wang Yu's face was straight, and he said: "The kidnappers specifically mentioned in the letter that the general's entourage should not exceed five people. Wouldn't it be bad if someone from my lieutenant's mansion were to go there?"

"At least you should make proper arrangements, otherwise once something changes, what should you do?" Du Bo said in a condensed voice: "In case the kidnappers' ransom is fake, and the purpose is to assassinate my father, what should you do?"

"This ...... Xia Guan didn't think about it so much for a while......" Wang Yu took a breath. Slowly lower your head.

"The people of your lieutenant's mansion must be prepared to go out of the city to rescue at any time!" Du Bo said in a deep voice.

"However, there is no cavalry in my lieutenant's mansion, and if it really changes, I am afraid that it will also be whipped. Wang Yu muttered while pondering, pondering for a long time, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and said, "You can ask the Seventh Legion for help in this matter." One. The Seventh Legion is a cavalry legion, fast and powerful, and it is not a problem to deal with the kidnappers and those who are young. Second, the garrison of the Seventh Army was not far from the place where the kidnappers had set a deal, and it could arrive in the shortest possible time without arousing the kidnappers' suspicion and vigilance. ”

Du Bo listened. His eyes lit up, if he could really ask the Seventh Legion to help. Naturally, this could not be better. However, the Seventh Legion is the only cavalry corps in the Jin Kingdom, and it is still a heavy cavalry corps, which is very precious, and the legion commander Guan He is arrogant and has high eyes. I'm afraid I won't be able to please him if I want to!" He asked, "Lord Wang, do you think General Guan is willing to help with this?"

Wang Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "General Guan and Master Zhang Hui have always been good friends, and Xiaguan and Lord Zhang have some friendships, so I asked Lord Zhang to be a lobbyist." This can definitely be done, not to mention, this matter is just a gesture for General Guan!"

Wang Yu deliberately involved Guan He's Seventh Legion, of course, he also had his purpose.

In fact, it is very easy to convince Guan He, and there is no need to find Zhang Hui as a lobbyist at all. Now, Guan He's status in the Jin Kingdom is already very high, and he is a dignified army commander, and the only thing he lacks is prestige.

The kidnapping of Du Qing's son by bandits this time is not a trivial matter, if he can really succeed in rescuing people, it will undoubtedly increase his prestige a lot.

This kind of good opportunity to earn fame without effort, how could Guan He miss it?

Wang Yu's estimation was not wrong at all, when he found Guan He and asked the latter for help, Guan He didn't think much about it, and even patted his chest and agreed.

That night, as soon as the hour passed, Du Qing took the gold and silver borrowed from Lin Haotian according to the kidnapper's request, and went to the agreed place to pay the ransom. He was accompanied by four doormen dressed as grooms, and the other was Du Bo, who was dressed as a servant.

The kidnappers' intentions were unknown, saying that they were asking for ransom, but who knew if they had other plans, he was not at ease to let his father go alone, and insisted on following.

Du Qing and Du Bo were six people, and they took five cars together, except for the car of the Du family father and son, the other four cars were full of gold and silver.

There was nothing to say on the way, and after leaving the city, they successfully arrived at the place where the ransom was paid.

It was a glade in the middle of a forest, twenty paces square, surrounded by dense woods. When they arrived, there were already people waiting here.

It was four men in black of different heights, all dressed in black power suits, black thin-soled fast boots under their feet, black scarves on their faces, and only two sparkling eyes were exposed from top to bottom.

Seeing these four people, Du Bo's heart trembled, even if he didn't use the technique of exploration, only through the spiritual pressure that naturally emanated from the other party's body, he could already feel that the other party had a good martial cultivation.

He glanced at the four men in black for a moment, then jumped out of the carriage, raised his head and asked, "My son-in-law is in your hands?"

None of the four answered, and after a while, when Du Bo couldn't help but want to ask again, one of the other parties walked out, he took two steps forward, his voice was low and cold, and asked, "Did you bring all the things we want?"

Sure enough, it's a kidnapper! Du Bo took a deep breath, pointed behind him, and said, "Twenty thousand taels of silver, two thousand taels of gold, a lot of money, all in the car." ”

Hearing this, the other party's eyes lit up obviously, and a strange brilliance was emanated.

This is not pretending, but out of people's instinctive reaction, 20,000 taels of silver, 2,000 taels of gold, they have never seen so much money since they were young, to say that they are not moved at all, it is absolutely a lie.

The man in black paused for a moment. Then he looked Du Bo up and down and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Du Bo snorted and said, "What you want is money, and now that I have brought the money, you can release him, right?

"We won't tell you anything until we see Du Qing!"

Du Bo was secretly suspicious. These kidnappers didn't care whether the gold and silver they brought was real or not, why did they repeatedly ask to see their father, could it be that they were really drunkards who didn't want to drink, and wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate their father?

Before he could speak, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and Du Qing walked out of the carriage and said loudly to the black-clothed man opposite: "The old man is Du Qing! Now, it's time for you to let Du Chong go, right?"

The four men in black looked at each other, then nodded their heads one after another, and the man raised his palm, slapped it three times, and with a crisp slap, two more men in black dressed in the same clothes walked out of the woods on the side.

One of them was still carrying a round winter package in his hand.

When the two men stepped forward, Tina wrapped the man and shook his arm. Throw the package directly in front of Du Qing and Du Bo.

The father and son of the Du family were shocked, and Du Qing subconsciously asked, "What is this?"

Du Bo didn't ask much. He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and quickly squatted down and unwrapped the package. What was contained inside was a bloody human head, and the expression of the human head was hideous and terrifying, but it was vaguely visible that it was Du Chong's severed head.

Witness the younger brother's rank. Du Bo's head buzzed, as if struck by lightning, and he stayed where he was. At the same time, Du Qing on the side also saw the broken appearance clearly, and the old man's body trembled. As if his strength had been drained in an instant, he collapsed to the ground on the spot.

"You just want money, why did you kill my brother?" Du Bo lowered his head, others could not see his expression clearly, but they could see drops of water dripping from his face to the ground.

From his trembling voice, it can also be judged that he is at this time extremely sad and angry.

"He saw what we looked like, and it was a last resort to kill him. The man in black said lightly, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him.

"You ......" Du Bo raised his head suddenly, his white face was already full of tears, his eyes were red, and a fierce light as sharp as a knife shot from inside, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "All deserve to die!"

As he spoke, his body that was originally squatting on the ground was like an arrow from the string, and he rushed straight forward, and before the man in black approached, his sword was already in his hand, and it was completed in the underworld, and after reaching the man in black, it was a heavy slash that slashed Huashan.

"Dangchang!"

He was fast, and the man in black was not slow, drawing his sword, raising his sword to block, and doing it in one go.

The two long swords collided in one place, and there was a piercing golden sound, and the cloud of sparks that burst out was particularly dazzling in the dark night.

"Today, you all have to die!" The two of them had their long swords in one place, and they did not separate for a long time, Du Bo gritted his teeth and roared at the man in black, and as he spoke, the dark energy emitted from his body, enveloping his body layer by layer, and in an instant, the dark qi turned into armor, tightly wrapping his head and torso.

On the other side, the man in black was completely armored almost at the same time, and then, the two started a desperate fight.

Du Bo and the man in black started to move, and the four guests who accompanied him were all around Du Qing, one of them reached into his arms, took out the letter cannon, lit the twist, only to hear a muffled sound, and a large dazzling fire burst out in the sky.

"Kill!" The rest of the men in black either drew their knives or drew their swords, and rushed towards Du Qing's side together, and the solitary battle between Du Bo and the man in black on the field turned into a chaotic battle between the two sides.

The four doormen brought by Du Qing are all outstanding top players in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and everyone's martial arts are not weak, but the dark martial arts of the man in black are obviously superior, and the number of people is more than that of the doormen, so he has firmly gained the upper hand on the scene.

Let's say that the letter cannon released by the doorman attracted the Seventh Army Corps, which had been waiting for miles away, and its commander Guan He personally went into battle, with 5,000 heavily armored cavalry, and rushed over.

Before the hoplites could reach the scene, they were attacked by men in black as they marched into the woods. The man in black who appeared first was holding a spear and jumped down from the treetops, and the man was still in mid-air, and the spear had already swept out of the sky.

Two crisp sounds were heard in the ear chakra, and the two hoplites who rushed to the front were swept in the chest by spears, and the two screamed and both led their horses down. The body bounced backwards and flew out. After landing, the two struggled for a while, but they couldn't stand up.

The spear of the man in black was not small, and thanks to the thick armor they were wearing, they were able to save the lives of the two of them, but after the two of them fell to the ground. The life-saving armor became a heavy burden, and he could not even sit up by his own strength.

Seeing a sneak attack by the enemy in the forest, the hoplites immediately stopped advancing, and quickly shrank and gathered into a group, forming a battle formation that was both offensive and defensive.

When they lined up in formation, the man in black who had just made a sneak attack was gone. For the cavalry, the woods were definitely one of their nightmares. Not only was high mobility greatly weakened, but trees also significantly blocked their view.

The sound of fierce fighting in the middle of the woods could already be faintly heard here, but the subordinates stopped moving, Guan He was furious, and shouted at the surrounding people: "It's just a few kidnappers, what battle formation are you still arranged, force me to rush over!"

He gave the order, and the whole body moved. Five thousand hoplites began to charge again towards the center of the dense forest.

As soon as they moved, the man in black reappeared. Some come out of behind trees, some come out of haystacks, and some jump straight down from trees.

As the men in black appeared one after another, the screams in the heavy cavalry team also came and went, and from time to time someone fell off their horses, lying on the ground or lying on the ground. Struggling to get back on your feet.

Before he had taken twenty steps, there were no less than a hundred heavily armed knights who had fallen off his horse, Guan He was angry and angry, separated his subordinates in front, and he ran to the front.

He also wanted to see and see. What kind of people are the bandits who can let their carefully trained heavy cavalry suffer one after another, and what are the group's abilities?

He rushed to the front first, and not far away, a man in black locked him, and with two whistles, two men in black fell from a tree, and one shot out of the grass, one up and down, hitting Guan He's head and lower abdomen.

The two of them came suddenly, and the degree of the move was also fast, if it was replaced by someone else, he might be caught off guard, but Guan He's Underworld Martial Arts was too strong, he sat upright on the horse, motionless like a mountain, and when the attack of the two black-clothed men was about to approach, the Nine Turns Soul Breaking Knife in his hand was as fast as lightning and swung a knife at Lu up and down.

"Dangchang, dangchang!"

Don't look at him wielding the knife casually, but the hidden power is amazing, the person who sneaked up from the grass was shocked by Guan He's heavy knife and his wrist was numb, and he took a few steps back, and the one who jumped from the treetop was shaken two meters high by Guan He's knife, and how he jumped from the treetop and was bounced back.

"Hmph, you dare to compete with the sun and the moon?!" Guan He sneered, and with a wave of his arm, a whirlwind of knives was released above his head.

Guan He's cultivation was profound, and the whirlwind of swords he released was also extraordinary, and the overflowing currents that erupted at that moment twisted the branches and branches above his head into pieces.

The man in black, who was originally hiding in the tree, secretly let out a loud sound, and didn't dare to be tough, so he pulled out and jumped out to the side.

"Whoa!"

The man in black flew out more than five meters away before landing in mid-air, and when he looked back, he saw that broken leaves and sawdust were scattering from the air, blocking Guan He's vision, and realizing that the opportunity had come, he raised the long sword in his hand that shimmered in the light, aimed at Guan He, and released the Flame Divine Hammer.

In fact, he doesn't have to fight with Guan He, as long as he can drag him for a while, but as a master of the underworld, he also has the strength to not admit defeat in his heart.

The Flame Divine Hammer released by the man in black struck Guan He like lightning, he regretted it as soon as he used this killing move, in case he really hurt Guan He, then how would he explain it?

He was still thinking about this, but suddenly, a blinding light appeared in the leaves and sawdust in front of him, and before he could see what was going on, the Flame Hammer he released had already been shattered, and the air flow that had been devouring it flew towards him.

The man in black's face changed suddenly, and before he had time to think about it, he leaned over on the spot, rolled a lazy donkey, and rolled out to the side.

The air flow coming from his back almost pasted against his armor, leaving more than a dozen scratches on his armor, and if he was half a step too late, he would have to be stirred into pieces of meat by the air flow released by Guan He.

Guan He really deserves his reputation, I am afraid that even in front of the four fierce generals, he will not give in! The difference in strength between the two sides is so great that the man in black has lost even the desire to continue fighting, he let out a long whistle, and then retreated and disappeared into the dense forest.

As soon as he retreated, his companions on the other side, who had been shaken back, followed suit, and by the time Guan He urged his horse out of the messy leaves and sawdust, the two men in black had run away without a trace.

He snorted coldly and scolded in a low voice: "The rats are the rats, you can't do it, you can run fast!"

He turned around and shouted: "Brothers, rush over with me, whoever can catch the robbers will be rewarded with great rewards!"

"Yes!" Guan He was brave, and the morale of the soldiers below was naturally high, and the people responded in unison, followed Guan He, and rushed towards the center of the dense forest.

When they came to the clearing in the middle of the dense forest, there was still a fierce battle going on here, Du Bo and the four doormen were fighting fiercely with several men in black, and Du Qing was holding a bloody human head and shrunk in a corner, crying bitterly.

Seeing this, Guan He grinned, it was better to come early than to come by chance, it was time to make meritorious service to himself, and if he didn't capture the kidnappers at this time, when would he wait? He shouted to the left and right: "Fence this place for me, and no one is allowed to run away!"

"Obey!" The 5,000 heavily armed cavalry had a tacit understanding of the soldiers in two directions, and they were divided into two sides, and they were divided into two sides of the open space.

The black-clothed people in the battle did not ignore the arrival of the army led by Guan He, and the black-clothed men led by them let out a long whistle, beckoned their companions, stepped up their offensive, and fought quickly.

Soon, the situation on the field changed, Du Bo and the four doormen, who had been struggling to support, immediately showed defeat under the attack of the people in black, especially Du Bo, who was only able to parry by the opponent's onslaught, and had no power to fight back.

Just as he was secretly crying out and was about to retreat first to avoid its edge, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed from the woods, hitting him straight at the center of his eyebrows.

Du Bo's face changed suddenly, and he subconsciously swung his sword to resist, and he heard a sound in the ear chakra, and a long arrow swirled in the air and fell to the ground.

There were archers in the woods! But at the moment when he was distracted, the man in black on the other side had already stabbed him with seven swords.

Du Bo hurriedly gathered his mind and dealt with it carefully, he used his strength to eat, but he only took the first five swords of the other party, and the two swords behind him, first picked the armor on his shoulder, and then cut a big hole in his arm, almost cutting off his arm.

Du Bo screamed in pain, instinctively falling backwards, and at this time, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting: "General Du be careful-"

Before he could figure out what was going on, another cold arrow came from his side.

This time, Du Bo couldn't dodge anymore. (To be continued......)
