"Little Lonely Mountain" and "Kunlun Fantasy Realm" are still nominally an alliance after all, Nangong Qingwu really didn't expect Hou Zipeng to dare to make trouble under his nose.

If they traded Ran Jingjing, it would definitely ruin his militaristic plans.

Nangong Qingwu raised his cultivation to the extreme, and between the true qi in his body, he suddenly gave birth to a small world, and within a radius of ten miles, all the voices were in his ears.

After all, Hou Zipeng and the others are masters of the ninth section, and they know that Nangong Qingwu is powerful, so they made arrangements in advance. Where could Nangong Qingwu still find the two of them, so he sent all the troops of the "Xiaojingxu" overnight to search the whereabouts of the two of them on a large scale, and at the same time sent someone to inform the soldiers and horses who were in ambush outside the city to make all emergency preparations.

Of course, in Nangong Qingwu's sphere of influence, Hou Zipeng and the others did not dare to act rashly. With Ran Jingjing in hand, it is best to hide it now.

The night was unsuccessful, and at dawn a subordinate reported to Nangong Qingwu, "Your master, the Turkic Shi Siyuan wants to see you." ”

Nangong Qingwu was overjoyed when she heard this, "Hurry up, please come into the hall!"

I saw that Shi Siyuan, who had fought with Li Chengtang and Qin Haotian, walked in, the injuries he suffered on the grassland had healed, and he immediately bowed down after seeing Nangong Qingwu, "Shi Siyuan paid a visit to Nangong Immortal, and the family master asked his disciples to greet the immortal master!" ”

Nangong Qingwu raised his hand with one hand, "Siyuanxian's nephew doesn't need to be polite, you and my general Shi Siming are originally clan relatives, we are all a family, your master Ashina is good, why didn't you come this time?" ”

"Everything is fine with the family teacher, let me give a message to the immortal master, thank you for being able to share a piece of the Turkic pie this time! According to the agreement, in order to divert the 'Xuanjia Army', after the family division attacked the Kazakh department last time, he went east to Tibet alone, and is now on his way. ”

"Can the soldiers and horses brought by the virtuous nephew arrive as agreed?"

"Immortal Master, don't worry, my brother Shi Siming personally wrote to me, your old man is good friends with his family teacher, there will never be any falsehood in the Turkic army, and all 20,000 elite horsemen have been stationed thirty miles away!"

Nangong Qingwu raised his eyebrows, shining brightly, swept away the decadent atmosphere brought by Hou Zipeng, laughed, and said to Shi Siyuan, "The virtuous nephew came just in time!" These soldiers and horses are enough, and now Huaiyuan has realized that we need to launch a surprise attack as soon as possible, so we won't wait for your master to arrive, and I am afraid of change! ”

"The family master said that the Turkic 20,000 horsemen are all dispatched by the immortal master!" Shi Siyuan asked, "What does the immortal master mean to act now?" ”

Nangong Qingwu said, "The virtuous nephew will first mobilize all the soldiers and horses to ten miles away from the north gate and wait for my order!" ”

After noon, Li Chengtang called all the people from the "procuratorate" to make some arrangements. Zhu Yi, the steward of the "Wild Camel Garden", Wu Tingting, and Wen Yan, the foremen, also recruited them all.

Qin Haotian and Ran Fei are no stranger to Li Chengtang's network resources.

According to Li Chengtang's analysis, Wang Zhongsi suddenly invited them to a banquet for three reasons: first, he simply thanked them for their contribution to the Tang border; Second, there were masters of the rivers and lakes who coerced Wang Zhonghe, and invited everyone out of the pavilion protected by officers and soldiers by Wang Zhongsi's hand, and then carried out a surprise attack to loot the sword and sword trick; Third, because of their reasons, Wang Zhongsi has felt the pressure from the rivers and lakes in recent days, and wants them to leave the pavilion but it is difficult to say it clearly, and to send the Buddha out of the city through a banquet, so as not to leave a disaster far away.

If it was the first reason, it should have been invited a long time ago, and it would not have waited until now, and with their level, Wang Zhongji would not have personally invited the banquet. The second reason is possible, it is not excluded that there are masters of the rivers and lakes who threaten Wang Zhonghei, in that case, they will have unpredictable dangers, but few people in the rivers and lakes are enemies of the military, so this may exist, but it is relatively small.

The most likely is the third reason, they have become the cause of Huaiyuan's troubles, which Li Chengtang already knows, not to mention Wang Zhonghe, who is the lord of a city. Then Li Chengtang has to make arrangements, only live in the "Wild Camel Garden" for the time being, and then think about leaving Huaiyuan.

After all, except for him and Qin Haotian who could protect themselves, Ran Fei, Ran Jingjing, and Meng Lang could not guarantee their safety. Since they are a gang, Li Chengtang must ensure that they are not threatened.

Of course, Li Chengtang also has to consider the safety of Wang Zhonghe. Because of their reasons, Huaiyuan City and Wang Zhongsi have already been threatened by An Lushan, and if An Lushan takes the opportunity of Wang Zhonghe's banquet to assassinate and attack the city, there will be a big chaos. He wants to put an end to this incident and avoid Datang from suffering from war.

Therefore, Li Chengtang once again dispatched all the people from the nearby "Procuratorate" to rush to the aid of the "Wild Camel Garden" and take preventive measures along the way.

Let Zhu Yi quickly inform the "Hengdao Battalion" to camp nearby.

Let Wu Tingting and Wen Yan pay attention to all the processes of the banquet ingredients, and do not give the enemy a chance to poison.

Arrange for Shangguan Chi to protect Ran Fei and Meng Lang, and ask Qin Haotian to personally take care of An Shunzhi.

All the other masters must secretly protect the safety of Lord Wang Zhonghe.

Finally, he instructed Zhu Yi to arrange in advance the residence in the "Wild Camel Garden" and the place where An Shunzhi was secretly detained.

Everything was arranged, and when Shen Shi was in the afternoon, Li Chengtang called the government soldiers who guarded the pavilion post and asked them to report back to the assassin Shi and the envoy of Jiedu, saying that they would go to the "Wild Camel Garden" first to wait. Then he instructed his men to pack up their belongings and horses, and set out for the wild camel garden.

Things have gone on so far, Qin Haotian and Ran Fei have only looked forward to Li Chengtang, although the two of them are seniors, but seeing his martial arts, courage, ability and connections, they have been completely convinced, even Meng Lang has nothing to say, it is all on orders.

Ayiyi, not to mention. She has now comprehended the martial arts of the "Sun Shooting Bow", and she is dedicated to the fusion and cultivation of true qi, and the rest is arranged by Li Chengtang.

"Wild Camel Garden" is in the west of Huaiyuan City, the official road is winding, there are small roads to communicate, that place has the reputation of "Saibei Xiaojiangnan", a piece of green mountains and green waters.

Everyone went out of the city to Wuli and arrived at a wine shop next to the official road. Li Chengtang remembered that Cen Shen was a scholar, and he had promised to introduce him to Lord Wang Zhonghe, so he asked everyone to wait and got off the horse and entered the wine shop.

At this time, there are not many people in the restaurant, only a person wearing a sunshade hat is slowly drinking tea, it is estimated that he has been drinking for a long time, watching the water is cold, and the store is also dozing.

Li Chengtang looked around and asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, didn't the scholar who helped passers-by write letters on weekdays come?" ”

The shopkeeper was falling asleep, raised his eyes and glanced at Li Chengtang, and replied weakly: "Which scholar are you talking about?" ”

"It's the one who often drinks at your place and doesn't have the money to pay."

"You said his surname is Cen, he comes every day, isn't he there, hey... Strange, it looks like you didn't come today? "The shopkeeper has come to his senses, he has been with Cen Shen for a long time, and he has some affection." Nothing will happen! ”

"Does the shopkeeper know where he lives?" Li Chengtang asked.

The shopkeeper was about to reply, when the man next to him, who had a very low shade hat, whispered, "Your Excellency is looking for him, I know where he is." ”

Li Chengtang was secretly on guard, and since he entered the wine shop, he had noticed that this person was a master of martial arts.

The man lowered his voice and said, "We have fought each other, I know you, if you want Ran Jingjing and the book surnamed Cen to live, you better not move, just follow you alone." ”

The people on the official road outside noticed something was wrong and surrounded them one after another, and the masters of the "Prosecutor's Yuan" hidden in the shadows along the way also began to appear. Li Chengtang waved his hand to make them retreat.

Li Chengtang's big eyes were shining, he looked at this person, and asked, "Who is Your Excellency, how can I be sure that Miss Jingjing is in your hands?" ”

Li Chengtang obviously learned that Ran Jingjing was in Nangong Qingwu, how could Nangong Qingwu's ability be plundered, but this person not only knew about Jingjing's plunder, but also knew their relationship with Cen Shen, this matter was only clear to him and Ran Jingjing, and it was inevitable that there would be many doubts in his heart.

The man said, "Just follow it, don't let anyone else follow!" After saying that, he got up and walked around the wine shop and walked towards the mountain forest behind.

Li Chengtang was afraid that this person was a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so he said loudly to Qin Haotian and Ran Fei: "You stay here for the time being to protect yourself, Chengtang will come when he goes!" He also glanced at the people who were secretly in the "Procuratorate" and asked them to pay more attention.

The man was satisfied that no one else had followed, and quickened his pace.

Skirting the forest, there is a hill behind you, which overlooks the entire official road and wine shops, and is a good place to hide.

When he came to the top of the hill, he saw Hou Zipeng walking over. Li Chengtang raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "It turned out to be you!" You dare to ask me to meet! ”

Hou Zipeng smiled all over his face, "Li Shaoxia, don't be angry first, after all, we have fought the enemy together, and now that we have saved Miss Ran for you, no matter what, you should thank us!" ”

It turned out that Hou Zipeng and Geng Zibiao plundered Ran Jingjing, and went around from the east of the city to the west of the city overnight, they had already found out that Li Chengtang and Cen Shen knew each other, and also knew that Wang Zhongsi was going to have a banquet in the "Wild Camel Garden", and guessed that Li Chengtang would definitely come here to find Cen Shen, so they robbed Cen Shen at the same time and waited for them here, and they had been waiting for most of the day.

It's no wonder that Nangong Qingwu can't find them. One city east, one city west, the distance is far away, and they are hiding in the dense forest, the most important thing is that no one would have thought that Hou Zipeng would trade with Li Chengtang on the way today, and Li Chengtang himself came to the door.

Nangong Qingwu couldn't have imagined that Hou Zipeng would wait for Li Chengtang to come to the door by waiting for the rabbit.

Li Chengtang pulled out the sheathed heavy sword "Dragon" in the sword bag, pointed at Hou Zipeng, and said angrily: "Master still thinks that your 'Little Lonely Mountain' has disappeared, don't you want to die here!" What else do you have to say! ”

Hou Zipeng took a step back, still not angry, "We don't want to do it with Shaoxia, if Shaoxia really wants to compete, just wait for the arrival of the family teacher, and then we will definitely let Shaoxia learn the 'Little Lonely Mountain', but what I want now is to negotiate a deal with Shaoxia." ”

Hou Zipeng made a move with his hand, and the previous man wearing a hat and the other two masters of "Little Lonely Mountain" pressed Ran Jingjing and Cen Shen out from behind the hill.

Li Chengtang looked stunned when he saw Ran Jingjing, he really couldn't imagine that the person was really in their hands, and he didn't have time to think about the reason, so he took back the "Dragon Sword" and quickly took two steps back.

At this time, Ran Jingjing's tortured flower face was bleak, and her clothes were torn in several places. Although he couldn't say it, when he saw Li Chengtang, he was like a child who had been greatly wronged, and tears flowed down.

Cen Shen is okay, the scholar is angry, although he is tied up, he looks like he is holding his head high, but he also frowns, and he is estimated to have been beaten a lot.

Li Chengtang didn't dare to make a move, he could see that Dai Douli's martial arts cultivation had reached the ninth stage, and the "Little Lonely Mountain" disciple who pressed the two of them was at least a master of more than seven stages.

This person wearing a hat is Geng Zibiao, who once slapped Li Chengtang, and he pressed his palm on Ran Jingjing's head and said: "The surname Li, let's have a palm, we know how powerful you are, don't move!" As long as Geng makes a effort, don't want this girl's head! ”

Li Chengtang stared at Hou Zipeng, "The surname is Hou, what do you want!" Could it be that 'Little Lonely Mountain' made a fortune by embarrassing women? ”

Hou Zipeng said with a smile: "'Little Lonely Mountain' is to do everything to achieve the goal, don't use the radical method Shaoxia, since we dare to come, we are ready, Shaoxia give me the 'Dragon Sword', I will give you Miss Ran and Cen Gongzi, the two of them will exchange a sword, this transaction is not a loss!" ”

Li Chengtang had already expected what they wanted, and his mind was turning: "The Dragon Sword" is currently in the ban, and it will only do harm to the masters of the ninth stage, if they can be exchanged for the two of them, it is not impossible, and they can also shift the focus on them and reduce their own pressure.

Of course, before the Battle of the Grassland, Li Chengtang would definitely not exchange it. Another premise is that he is sure that he will recover the "Dragon Sword" in the future, because the method of lifting the ban is in his own hands, and these are things that outsiders can't do.

Li Chengtang raised his eyebrows, looked at Ran Jingjing with pear blossoms and rain with big eyes, and said: "If it is according to Your Excellency's words, how do I know that you will return them to me!" ”

Hou Zipeng was overjoyed when he heard this, he originally thought that he would just give it a try, after all, no one would exchange such a precious sword and heavy weapon for an irrelevant person, and said happily: "We are also a burden to take them, Shaoxia put the 'Dragon Sword' on the ground and took twenty steps back, how about I let the two of them go?" ”

Li Chengtang expected that they would not dare to make trouble, so when he heard this, he untied the "Dragon Sword" and put it on the ground, and slowly retreated.

The "Dragon Sword" was far away from Li Chengtang, and the killing intent gradually grew, forcing the two little Gushan disciples who were guarding Ran Jingjing to retreat more than a dozen steps.

Hou Zipeng and Geng Zibiao both circulated their true qi, suppressed the killing intent of the "Dragon Sword", grabbed Ran Jingjing and Cen Shen together, moved forward at the same time, and then threw people towards Li Chengtang. Quickly picked up the "Dragon Sword" and flew towards the back of the hill like lightning, and several figures disappeared in a blink of an eye.
