Chapter 63: The Battle of the Trapped Beasts

If you want to say that the worst is Zhou Yu who was kidnapped. Since the first day of rest in the inn, I have been on the road almost day and night, and I have not eaten enough food at every meal, and I have only one nest head for a meal, and I have to see when I encounter a stream or river to drink water. If he didn't have enough food and drink, he would be thrown on a horse as soon as he finished eating, and he would vomit all the contents of his stomach.

The torture did not end until the morning of the third day, when he was taken to a small building and then thrown into a room. When Zhou Yu came back to his senses, there were five or six middle-aged men with bad faces sitting in this room, and they all looked at him with bad intentions.

"Big brother, it's this kid that Qingying wants to kill, I didn't expect him to be alive and well, it seems that Qingying should have had an accident." The man who tied Zhou Yu reported to the man sitting at the top of the table that he should be the leader of this group of mysterious people.

"Look at him like a scholar, how is his martial arts?" The man in charge asked.

"It's very poor, I can almost say that I don't know martial arts." The kidnapper replied.

"Oh? In other words, he didn't kill the Green Eagle? ”

"I don't think it's absolutely not, with Qingying's kung fu, even with one hand, he can take his life at any time."

"That's strange, if it's not him, who could it be?" The man in charge asked.

"Let's ask him about this in person!" The kidnapping man untied Zhou Yu's dumb hole, and then asked: "You don't know martial arts, so it must not be you who killed Qingying, so who is the murderer?" ”

"I don't know." Zhou Yu deliberately pretended to be stupid.

"Hey, looking at the way you look, you should be a reader, right? In this case, you should concentrate on gaining fame and fame, and don't get involved in this matter. You may not know what kind of place this is, to tell you the truth, this is the Golden Phoenix Pavilion in Shangzhou, even if the dragon guard arrives here, he has to speak obediently! The kidnapper man smiled and said.

"What is the Golden Phoenix Pavilion? What is the Dragon Guard? Zhou Yu was extremely unfamiliar with these two names, and there was no entry for these two terms in his mind.

"Hahahaha!" Listening to Zhou Yu's question, everyone in the room burst out laughing.

The man at the head said with a smile: "It seems that he is still a scholar who has never been to the capital, presumably because he doesn't need to study hard and can't be moved, so he went into business, right?" ”

In the face of everyone's insults and ridicule, Zhou Yu didn't care about getting angry, he needed to keep a clear head now and see if there was a way to save himself.

Just when the situation was anxious, a person rushed into the room and said: "Pavilion Master, just now the news came from the county lieutenant Zhao, the Assassin Mansion issued a stabbing order a quarter of an hour ago, and the gates of Shangzhou City will be closed immediately, leaving only the Andingmen in the west of the city, and everyone can only go through the Andingmen when they enter and exit!" ”

The crowd looked at each other, apparently not understanding what was happening.

The man at the head asked, "Why do you close the gates?" ”

"This ...... The subordinates don't know! The man replied.

"Probe!"

"Yes!" The subordinates who received the order immediately turned around and left.

Another man sitting at the table said to the man in charge, "Big brother, do you think it's because of this kid?" ”

"He's just a scholar, so even if he does some business, he won't have so much energy, right? Besides, his front foot was only brought by the fourth child, and the city gate of the back foot was closed, isn't it too fast? The man in charge said.

From this passage of his, Zhou Yu captured a message that the man who kidnapped him was called the "fourth" by this so-called "big brother".

"Big brother, there is some truth in what the third child said. Don't forget, last time the person surnamed Fu said that the shopkeeper of this restaurant has some friendship with King Yu's Mansion, do you think it will be King Yu coming? Another man spoke.

In this way, Zhou Yu sorted out the positions of these people.

The boss opened his mouth and said: "That's not right, the fourth brother just came back, can this King Yu come so quickly?" How did he know that this kid was taken away by the fourth child? ”

"Anyway, let's lock this kid up first, and then let's see the situation!" The third child proposed.

This proposal was also unanimously agreed by everyone present, so Zhou Yu was once again dumbfounded, and then locked up in a dark room.

In fact, the reason for the closure of the Shangzhou City Gate was really Chen Jin. Because the man known as the "fourth" came in a hurry, he also traveled day and night, and when he went back, he also brought a Zhou Yu, his horse was already a little unbearable, so he had to find an inn to rest, at least let the horse rest.

And it was this night that Chen Jin and the others were non-stop, and continued to drive after changing horses at the post house halfway, with little time to rest along the way.

Finally, they managed to arrive in Shangzhou almost at the same time as Zhou Yu, but as soon as Chen Jin arrived, he went directly to Wu Changzhong, the assassin of Shangzhou, and informed him about the situation of Jinfeng Pavilion.

There is such an evil organization that affects social order under his rule, but Wu Changzhong has no idea, what a dereliction of duty this is? So when Chen Jin told him, Wu Changzhong was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and almost fell headlong.

In order to show his ability, and also out of official needs, Wu Changzhong immediately ordered the gates of Shangzhou to be closed, leaving only Andingmen to accompany him.

Not only that, in order to reassure His Royal Highness King Yu, Wu Changzhong also mobilized the officials in the Shangzhou Mansion to arrest and arrange manpower to monitor the address given by Chen Jin day and night.

Shangzhou, in the Jinfeng Pavilion.

"Big brother, when I went out just now, I found that there were a lot more servants near the attic, and they were like this for an hour in a row. Fear...... We're being targeted! The fourth said.

"First the city gate was closed, and now there are many assassins, who is this kid? Let's go and see for ourselves! Shang Ximing led everyone to the room where Zhou Yu was being held.

With so many people pouring in at once, Zhou Yu felt that something was wrong.

"Zhou Yu, right? What is your relationship with King Yu? The Boss spoke.

"King Yu? It should be regarded as a business partner, I opened a Juxian Building with him. Zhou Yu replied.

"It's as simple as that?" The boss had a look of disbelief.

"Or else?" Zhou Yu asked rhetorically.

"You are not a rich and noble family, why do you do business with King Yu?"

Sure enough, being the boss is indeed not so easy to fool.

"Of course, he and I are friends in private, and personal friendship is not bad. The opening of the restaurant was something I thought of by chance, the technology I came up with, and the money he paid, so there was Juxian Lou in Luozhou. Zhou Yu continued to give some information.

The boss seemed to believe Zhou Yu's words, and said with a smile: "At a young age, you can actually become friends with King Yu, it seems that you do have something." What's even more rare is that King Yu actually came to Shangzhou for you in person, this kind of friendship is not ordinary! ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu's heart pounded, and he secretly thought: Could it be that he is really here? How could it be so fast?

But on the surface, he pretended to be very relaxed and said: "If he is really here, then you have to be careful, there is a fierce general under the command of King Yu, whose surname is famous, his martial arts are strong, and he is good at using swords, guns and sticks. At that time, there were bandits who secretly ambushed him, and Zhanzhao took one as ten, and started a fierce fight with the bandits, only to see him flickering and moving, and there was no grass in the place caused by the light of the knife; Flying and promoting, the sword qi swept over the place and left no armor. Zhou Yu began to show his storytelling skills, which is a story of Bao Qingtian in the Song Dynasty, but how have these people ever heard of storytelling? I thought that what Zhou Yu said was all true, and they were listening carefully to prepare for the enemy.

In addition to Zhanzhao, King Yu also had four fierce generals, named Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Dynasty, and Ma Han. The martial arts of these four people are also good, Zhang Long is good at using a spear, and a dragon spear makes it a tiger and a tiger; Zhao Hu is good at using sticks, and has used the Qi Mei stick method to beat all kinds of heroes; The dynasty is very good at archery, and takes the enemy's head from a hundred paces away, such as probing the bag to get things; Mahan was born with divine power, and a meteor sledgehammer smashed into the enemy like Mount Tai pressing the top, making the opponent's liver and gall split! The more Zhou Yu spoke, the more mysterious it became, and everyone in the Golden Phoenix Pavilion was frightened by him.

"How does the Green Eagle compare to them?" After listening to Zhou Yu's words, the boss was already a little scared, and sweat began to break out on his forehead.

Zhou Yu also knew that he had to put more pressure on them, so he said: "If the Qingying you are talking about is the one who came to kill me that day, then I can only say that his kung fu is vulnerable in front of Zhanzhao!" On that day, on the side of the Jade Flower Terrace, Qingying raised his hand and was blocked by Zhang Long, and then Zhanzhao appeared, and Qingying died under Zhanzhao's knife without taking a move! Zhou Yu deliberately said the true and false situation at the scene, but the effect should have been achieved.

As soon as these words came out, a group of people immediately discussed, and more of them discussed the subordinates of King Yu, who were strong in martial arts.

"If His Royal Highness King Yu really comes, then you better run for your lives! In addition to the few just now, he also has dozens of guards under him, all of whom are not fuel-efficient lamps! The fire was already burning, and Zhou Yu decided to add another handful of firewood to it.

"Big brother, is this kid lying to us?" The third child questioned.

"It's possible, but King Yu has masters under him, that's for sure, otherwise Qingying won't be gone forever." The Boss said.

The atmosphere became more and more anxious, and the person in charge of the investigation returned: "Pavilion Master, the street outside has been emptied, and dozens of trappers have fenced us off here, what should we do now?" ”

"What?!" The news from the spies blew up the small room.

"Big brother, I'm afraid we're really in trouble this time!" The second child spoke.

"If King Yu really has these masters, then we can't leave even if we want to!" The boss spoke: "How many people are there in the cabinet now?" ”

"If you count us, there are eighteen people in total." The third replied.

"Someone must find a way to get out alive and go to the capital to deliver a message to the head cabinet master!" The boss Shang Ximing said firmly: "Fourth, your equestrian skills are the best, I'll deal with that Zhanzhao later, the second and third will drag the other four, and the others will try their best to cover you and rush out, you must bring the news to the capital!" ”

"Big brother, I will take the head guarantee of the item, and I will definitely deliver the letter!" The fourth knelt down and bowed.

"Hey, you don't need to bother if you want to live!" Zhou Yu said.

"What do you mean by that?" Shang Ximing asked.

"You let me go, I'll go and talk to His Royal Highness King Yu, and he will naturally not embarrass you! To put it bluntly, he didn't interfere with your well water, and it was only because you arrested me that he came to Shangzhou. So as long as I'm all right, why should he bother you? Zhou Yu made a very valuable suggestion.

"The well water does not interfere with the river water? I don't think so! The third child spoke.

Zhou Yu frowned and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Shang Ximing stretched out his hand to stop the third child from continuing, and said to Zhou Yu: "He won't let us go!" ”

Zhou Yu always felt that there was something hidden in this, but in this situation, he was not in the mood to explore these, but put forward another suggestion: "Then there is another way now, you take me hostage until you release me in a safe place, is this feasible?" ”

After listening to Zhou Yu's suggestion, several people looked at each other and felt that this was indeed a good plan!
