Brother Lan saw that Ye Feng didn't answer this question, so he didn't continue to ask.

Immediately, his face turned pale, and he asked Ye Feng, "The matter has come to this, what is Ye Gongzi going to do with us now?"

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, how to deal with them?

According to common sense, they pretended to be horse bandits, robbed and killed Ye Feng and his party, and fought all day yesterday, Ye Feng and them suffered heavy casualties, almost escaped death, and there was no reason to spare them.

Even if Ye Feng didn't kill them, at least, they should be handed over to the little marquis Song Hu to deal with.

And they are the sergeants of the Shazhou Guard, as an official and soldier pretending to be horse bandits to rob passers-by, this is already a capital crime, with the iron-fisted management of the army by Song Xiaohouye, these hundreds of sergeants fall into his hands, there is no way out.

At this time, Brother Nan's eyes showed a begging look, and he said, "Young Master Ye, although I know that it is a little unreasonable, I still have a reluctant request. ”

Ye Feng nodded and said, "Please speak." ”

Brother Lan took a deep breath and said, "Pretending to be a horse bandit and robbing and killing Ye Gongzi and his party, this is all the idea of the next person, as for these Shazhou guard sergeants, they are all from my clan, and they are just acting on orders." I hope that Ye Gongzi can open his face, plead with Song Xiaohou Ye, let these soldiers go, and all the blame will be borne by Brother Lan!"

Ye Feng looked at the almost pleading look in Brother Lan's eyes, and couldn't help but think of the camel's evaluation of Brother Lan, he said that Brother Lan had a straightforward personality in the mouths of the people, jealousy and hatred, and a good way to govern the army, and he was a character with a very good reputation.

The reason why he set up this plan this time and led his subordinates to rob and kill himself was actually not entirely his intention. Now that he has been defeated, he has been able to stand up and take all the blame and excuse his subordinates.

Based on this, he really loves soldiers like a son, has the courage to take responsibility, is a good leader, and is a good man!

To be honest, although Ye Feng's team suffered heavy losses in Brother Lan's robbery, Ye Feng did not hate him, but admired him a little for his promise in order to repay his kindness.

Even Ye Feng secretly felt sorry for Brother Lan in his heart, regretted his talent, his bearing, and even regretted that he actually had such a ruthless father.

He couldn't bear to refuse Brother Nan's request, so he nodded and said, "I'll go and tell Song Xiaohou Ye that you go back first and let your subordinates lay down their weapons and surrender." ”

Brother Lan was overjoyed when he heard this, and saluted Ye Feng with a happy face, and said: "Song Xiaohou Ye attaches so much importance to Ye Gongzi, since Ye Gongzi is willing to speak, this matter will be done! Thank you Ye Gongzi for saving these hundreds of lives regardless of the previous hatred, I have long heard the legend that Ye Gongzi is a man who values his promise and righteousness, and it is really good." Thank you!"

Ye Feng saw that he was so happy to be able to save the lives of these hundreds of subordinates, but he didn't worry about his life and death at all, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he was really a good man who valued righteousness and took his life lightly!

At this time, he already had a feeling of pity for Brother Lan in his heart, and he had the intention of protecting him.

After thanking him, he turned his horse's head and returned to the formation, ordering all his subordinates to lay down their swords and dismount to wait for surrender.

And Ye Feng rode his horse to the side of the little marquis Song Hu.

Song Hu was amazed when he saw him say a few words, and said that Brother Lan ordered all his subordinates to abandon their weapons and surrender, and at the same time, he was also glad that he was able to subdue these hundreds of Shazhou guard soldiers without losing a single soldier.

Originally, I thought that with the fierce and good fighting of the Mongols, if they wanted to win these hundreds of Shazhou Guards, they would need a vicious battle, but now such an ending is naturally a bit unexpected.

But looking back, when he was in Lanzhou City, didn't this Ye Feng come single-handedly with his three-inch tongue, successfully delayed the time, and finally forced himself to withdraw from the army?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little stupid in his heart.

Ye Feng came to Song Hu's side and told him what he had just said about the conversation with Brother Lan, as well as the guess in his heart

I've talked about it all.

Song Hu snorted coldly when he heard this: "It turns out that everything is the old ghost who is sleepy and coming to do things in secret! Ben Hou has long felt that this person is loyal on the surface, but in fact he is extremely cunning, and today it seems that he even has to count his own son, and he is really a treacherous and insidious villain!"

Ye Feng was a little silent when he heard this, and only said after a while: "I think that this move is also coerced by others, in order to ensure the peaceful and contented life of all the people in the whole clan, he has to make this decision, but it is not entirely out of his selfishness to protect himself. ”

Ye Feng actually opened his mouth to say good things for the person who wanted to rob and kill him, which was somewhat unexpected by Song Hu, and he couldn't help but glance at Ye Feng with slanted eyes.

However, he didn't argue with Ye Feng, but frowned, and said in a low voice while pondering: "A mysterious person wearing a black cloak and embroidered with a flying eagle pattern on his clothes?

After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and asked Ye Feng, "Does Ye Gongzi know that this group of mysterious people, why must he want to kill you?"

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "I've never heard of this group of people before, I don't know them at all, let alone have any grievances. As for why they have to deal with it, it is really incomprehensible. ”

Song Hu couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, so he shook his head and simply stopped thinking about it, stretched out his hand and pointed at the Shazhou guards in the encirclement who abandoned their weapons and dismounted and surrendered and asked, "Then what does Ye Gongzi want to do with these people next?"

Ye Feng said what Brother Mu had just said for these subordinates, and Song Hu said: "I can't see it, this kid is a bloody man! But if Ben Hou hadn't arrived in time, Ye Gongzi, you would have almost lost their lives, how could you let these people go because of a few words of forgiveness?"

Ye Feng reminded him: "These people are not real horse bandits, but the officers and soldiers of Shazhou Wei!"

Song Hu sneered: "Officers and soldiers, since they have already dressed up as horse bandits, it is only natural that Ben Hou should only think that the horse bandits have exterminated them. ”

Ye Feng shook his head and said: "Shazhou Wei, as one of the seven guards in Guanxi, has been stationed in the northwest for many years, and they and the other guards are also from the original Mongolian nobles of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and it is inevitable that they will be related to each other. ”

"If he is suddenly slaughtered here today by the army led by the little marquis, and there are hundreds of people, and the old fox is trapped and comes to that kind of old fox, who knows what kind of rhetoric he will have at that time? I am afraid that he will put all the blame on the little marquis. ”

Song Hu said coldly: "He Shazhou Wei was originally under the command of Ben Hou, can Ben Hou still be afraid that he will not be able to bite indiscriminately?"

Ye Feng sighed and said, "If it's just a Shazhou guard, it's okay, I'm afraid that when the news reaches the ears of the other guards of the Guanxi Seven Guards, they will think crankily, thinking that the imperial court instructed the little marquis to secretly attack and want to get rid of them." ”

"At that time, if it arouses the suspicion of several of their guards, everyone is in danger, which causes chaos, leads to turmoil in the border passes, and restlessness in the river, I am afraid it will not be a good thing for the little marquis and the imperial court. ”

When Song Hu heard this, he also felt reasonable, and couldn't help but bow his head and be silent.

After a while, he spoke: "According to what you said, not only can Ben Hou not be able to destroy these hundreds of Shazhou Guards now, but even that Brother Lan can't move?"

Ye Feng smiled: "This is natural." Brother Lan is the eldest son who is sleepy, if the little marquis is magnanimous, forgives his sins, and does not pursue it, it will be very beneficial to accept the sleepy and come, and even make the Kansai Qiwei happy and sincere to the little marquis. ”

Song Hu pondered for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that the old fox has already figured out this layer when he is sleepy, and the reason why he sent his own son to risk his life is clearly that we will never dare to kill him easily." ”

He sighed and said, "I was calculated by this bad old man, Ben Hou is really unwilling!"

Ye Feng smiled: "Even if you are unwilling, this is also."

The best solution at the moment. Do you still remember the four words I gave to the little marquis last time when I was leaving?"

Song Hu also smiled when he heard this: "Of course I remember!"

That's the words "lips are dead and teeth are cold".

In order to take into account the overall situation and look at the overall situation, sometimes it is more effective to endure than not to endure, and it is more effective to do not do it.

Although Song Hu was a little helpless, he still ordered the encirclement to be removed, and let the besieged Shazhou Wei soldiers leave and return to Dunhuang.

Brother Lan, who was originally thinking that he was going to die, couldn't help but feel a little overjoyed when he learned that not only hundreds of his subordinates had been pardoned, but even he could leave freely.

Of course he knew that with the well-known iron-fisted style of the little marquis Song Hu, he would definitely not let go of himself so easily, presumably it must be Ye Feng who defended himself with all his might in front of him, so that he could escape from death, and he was full of gratitude to Ye Feng in his heart.

But he didn't go back and thank him.

As the saying goes, "great kindness does not say thank you", sometimes, the verbal thanks are really empty, and the real heartfelt thanks do not need to be said at all.

While directing his subordinates to retreat in an orderly manner, he reined in his horse, and looked back at Ye Feng who waved goodbye to him from afar, his eyes revealing the burning excitement in his heart.

Ye Feng looked at Brother Nan's figure, and sighed in his heart, such a bloody man, indifferent on the outside, but as hot as a volcano on the inside, I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again in the future.

At this time, at the mouth of the valley, Tang Da and the others were also watching Brother Lan lead his subordinates to retreat from a distance.

Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, at least they knew that the crisis was over, that they were safe now, and that everyone had a sense of happiness in their hearts for the rest of their lives.

At this moment, Tang Da suddenly saw a man and a rider appear on the sandy slope near the valley mouth. The man on the horse, with strange yellowish eyes, was watching him.

It's a poisonous snake!

Tang Da walked over slowly.

The viper seemed to have come to say goodbye, but he just looked at Tang Da and didn't say a word.

Tang Da also looked at him, in the previous battle with him, Tang Da admired his martial arts very much, and felt a great sense of pity in his heart.

He believed that the viper should feel the same way.

He smiled at the viper and asked, "Going?"

Viper nodded, "Hmm".

Tang Da was silent for a moment and said, "There is a question that I haven't figured out, are you willing to answer it?"

The poisonous snake didn't seem to like to talk much, and only said two words in the face of Tang Da's question: "You ask!"

Tang Da couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't you make a move in the later attack yesterday? If you make a move, we will definitely not be able to support it." ”

The poisonous snake replied expressionlessly: "I just collected the money and was responsible for protecting Brother Nan's safety, and the rest was not my business." ”

Tang Da said strangely: "Then why did you rush into the valley mouth again yesterday to do it?"

The viper's eyes were fixed on Tang Da's face: "I just want to share the victory with you, because you are the first person who did not die under my raid." ”

Tang Da nodded, he finally understood, and sighed: "I'm afraid our victory or defeat will be left until next time." ”

There was a complicated look in the snake's eyes: "I hope there is no next time." ”

Tang laughed: "Maybe the next time we meet, I'll pay you for help?"

The look on the viper's face relaxed suddenly, and he said lightly: "I'm a killer, as long as you give money." ”

As he spoke, he turned his horse's head and rode away, leaving behind him his voice: "But you must prepare the money first, I am very expensive." ”

Looking at his back, Tang Da smiled.
