Wu Nian took care of Wang Ruyan very much, and specially vacated a tent for the master and servant, slept next to him, and took care of him nearby.

Wang Ruyan was very grateful to him.

That night, there were no more waves. Wu Nian thought about Wang Ruyan's slippery body, but he had to sleep side by side with Zhang Jin, Long and two stinky men.

The next morning, it was still cloudy.

A thick mist filled the mountain, and a terrible wolf howl came from the mountain in the distance. The soldiers got up early in the morning, set up iron pots, and buried them to cook.

Wu Nian woke up early, first rinsed his mouth and washed his face with cold water, and while there was still some time for breakfast, he chose a secluded place to box.

This is a set of boxing techniques learned by Wu Qian, called Xuanwu Boxing, which is a kind of internal boxing.

Wu Nian stood between the dead branches and leaves, exhaling like thunder, slowly unfolding his fists, moving like a tiger, quiet like a virgin, between movement and stillness, the moves were endless.

After a set of Xuanwu boxing, Wu Nian stood up, slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath in his chest, his face was slightly ruddy, his eyes were bright, and he was in good spirits.

"Eun Gong. You're a bit peculiar in your boxing. ”

Wu Nian's ears moved, and he heard Wang Ruyan's voice coming from behind him. He turned his head to look and couldn't help but smile.

The days in the mountains are hard, and the most terrible thing is that there are many mosquitoes, and they have no protection measures.

Wang Ruyan, a delicate beauty, has a few more big bags on her tender face, which looks a little embarrassed, but it also makes her real.

Before her, she was as beautiful as a fairy in the sky.

"Miss also knows boxing?" Wu Nian didn't look at it much, it seemed rude like that, and asked with a smile.

"I know a little bit about it." Wang Ruyan bowed his head gently. Her family all studied medicine, and her medical skills were many times higher than her father's.

There is such a thing as boxing that can strengthen the body, and she can't practice it, but she knows something.

She instinctively felt that Wu Nian's boxing method was a bit special.

Wu Nian did not have an in-depth discussion with Wang Ruyan about boxing. He raised his head and said to Wang Ruyan solemnly, "Miss Wang." Today is the day of the exchange of hostages. There's no way I'm going to leave someone to protect you. So you have to stay with us, and if something happens, you're left to fate. ”

Wang Ruyan's face also became serious, and he said with a resolute face: "Don't worry, life and death are fateful." I chose the road, and I don't regret it when I die. ”

"Okay." Wu Nian smiled and nodded. He just appreciates Wang Ruyan's point, regards death as home, and is strong and righteous.

Although she is a beauty, she is a beauty with a lot of personality.

Wu Nian chatted with her for a while until Tie Niu came over. The two returned to camp together. Wu Nian and the soldiers ate "big pot rice" together. After eating and drinking, he began to dispatch his troops.

The most important thing is the spies.

Although Wu Nian expected Zhang Ningding, he didn't dare to play tricks again. But I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what happens. Only by scattering the spies and acting as eyes and ears will they not fall into an ambush.

After the arrangements were made, Wu Nian and Wang Ruyan separated. He only took more than 30 people, including Tie Niu and Zhang Jin, to Kuzhu Mountain.

Kuzhu Mountain is also a low mountain, and the nearby roads lead in all directions. However, Wu Nian did not choose the place of exchange of hostages on the mountain, but on the mountain road between the two mountains.

By the time you are ready, the sun has climbed high. Wu Nian's side, there are only more than ten people left, such as Tie Niu and Zhang Jin, and of course, Zhang Qiongshan, Young Master Zhang, who is missing one ear.

Today's sun is very scorching, and the sun is panicking. Wu Nian doesn't care about himself, he can withstand it. But he was afraid that Zhang Qiongshan would not be able to withstand it.

Since one ear was cut off, Zhang Qiongshan has always lowered his head, as if he was an ostrich, and accepted his fate. It's just that he occasionally raised his head to look at Wu Nian, and his eyes were full of malice.

Wu Nian felt it, but he didn't care about him.

Slowly, the sun has climbed to the middle of the day.

Wu Nian took the sheepskin water bag from Tie Niu's hand, pulled out the stopper, drank a large sip of water, poured a little more into his hand, rubbed his cheeks, and cooled it down.

"Cheer up." Wu Nian said.

"Yes." Everyone was in good spirits, and they should be loud.

Soon after, the sound of wheels, horses' hooves, and footsteps came from far and near. In the end, a team of about 100 people appeared in front of everyone.

Wu Nian watched quietly, five of them were wearing armor and riding tall horses, and the rest were very strong and capable.

"It's all elite soldiers." Wu Nian said secretly in his heart. But he was not afraid, but full of excitement.

How can it be just an exchange today? He's going to make half of the side open and burst a tooth.

Elite? Lao Tzu is fighting the elite.

Zhang Ningding was riding on a black horse, and he also saw Wu Nian from a distance, and after reaching a suitable distance, he waved his hand to make the horse stop.

He looked at Wu Nian first and couldn't help frowning. There are only more than ten people on the other side, which is unreasonable.

"There must be an ambush of archers around here. Put the shield up. Zhang Ningding stretched out his hand and summoned a subordinate and commanded.

"Yes." The subordinate answered and went down to give the order. Soon after, shields were erected on the periphery of the procession in case of accidents.

"Wu Xiaoqi. How do we exchange hostages? After Zhang Ningding was ready, he took a deep breath and said loudly to Wu Nian.

"Before exchanging hostages, I have to test the silver." Wu Nian was not easy to fool, he was shrewd, and replied with a shout.

Regarding Zhang Ningding's move of erecting his shield, he just smiled.

"Good. Please Wu Xiaoqi, you send someone to inspect it. Feel relieved. Our Qiongshan's life is expensive, just two thousand taels of silver, we won't cheat. ”

Zhang Ningding held the reins of the horse and said loudly.

This time he was going to kill Wu Nian.

Silver or something, it's not their own wait.

There's no need to fake.

"Liu Sheng, Wang Jin. You go and verify. Remember to be careful and don't be sloppy. Wu Nian nodded, turned his head and said to the two bandit-born soldiers beside him.

"Yes."

The two were also quite bold, and after answering loudly, they walked towards Zhang Ningding together. After obtaining Zhang Ningding's approval, the two opened the large wooden boxes loaded on the two flatbed carriages, revealing the neatly placed large silver ingots.

Rao is two are from bandits, and they also gasped.

It's the smell of wealth. Lord Xiaoqi made a fortune this time.

They took another deep breath, and after composing themselves, they began to carefully examine the silver ingots, looking at them layer by layer, without any impatience.

After the inspection was completed, the two quickly returned to Wu Nian's side. He bowed and saluted, "My lord, there is no problem with the silver ingot." ”

"Okay."

Wu Nian nodded, and then said loudly to Zhang Ningding: "It's very simple. You untie the ropes of my subordinates. Let them drive the carriage. Then I count one, two, three. We release people at the same time. ”

The essence in Zhang Ningding's eyes flashed, this method was too dangerous.

The mountain road here is narrow, what if the dozen or so hostages they released on the way arrested Zhang Qiongshan again?

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Ningding said generously: "Wu Xiaoqi." I don't have a problem with your proposal. But I'm generous. What do you think of letting your subordinates go first, leaving only two people to drive the carriage? ”

Wu Nian guessed Zhang Ningding's thoughts at once, and said with a smile: "It is worthy of Zhang Ningding, his mind is really meticulous." Good. ”

"Let them go." Zhang Ningding saw that Wu Nian agreed, so he turned his head and said to a subordinate. This subordinate immediately went down and cut the rope tied to Li Sheng and the others with a knife, leaving only two people.

After Li Sheng and the others were released, they immediately exhaled, and then quickly ran towards Wu Nian.

"Your Excellency. We are incompetent. After Li Sheng came to Wu Nian, he bent down and saluted in shame.

"Nope. It's none of your business. It's just that disaster fell from the sky. Wu Nian shook his head, and then said to Wang Gui: "Wang Gui." You take them first. ”

"Yes." Wang Gui responded, and immediately left here with Li Sheng and the others.

Zhang Ningding. I'm starting to count. Wu Nian took a deep breath, and then gestured to Zhang Jin with his eyes.

The meaning is clear.

Shoot Zhang Qiongshan.

Release?

How is it possible to release people?

I want half of my family to die.
