Steep Horse Slope is a large slope of a hill. The slope is very steep, and even experienced warriors cannot climb quickly.

This is an excellent ambush location, and if the enemy lies on the top of a steep hill, he can be in a high position and have an absolute geographical advantage.

This is the ransom place demanded by the bandit leader Sima Nantong. Not only that, the bandit leader Sima Nantong also had additional requirements: the head of the Nanrong family was not allowed to accept the help of the immortals, and he had to personally send the ransom to the bottom of the steep horse slope to have a chance to redeem Nanrong Xue'er. Otherwise, Nanrong Xue'er's safety cannot be guaranteed.

The risks are self-evident. However, the head of the Nanrong family did not back down. He accepted Sima Nantong's request and personally pushed the cart to the bottom of the steep horse slope. Two servants of the Nanrong family came together. Although the head of the Nanrong family is a warrior, it is impossible for him to transport all the ransom and supplies alone.

"Sima Nantong, why don't you show up?" the head of the Nanrong family shouted along the steep horse slope.

Before the words fell, a burly and tall figure emerged from the hill, it was not Sima Nantong, who could it be?

Sima Nantong was naked, showing his hideous muscles, holding a sharp machete, looking at the three people under the steep horse slope, and roaring: "He is worthy of being the head of the Nanrong family, he is really a great person." Without the help of the power of immortals, with only two people, you dare to come to the appointment. ”

Sima Nantong was far more than alone on the hill. A line of bandits sprang up the entire steep slope, at least twenty or thirty people. The bandits, heavily armed, drew their bows and pointed at the three men under the hill. As soon as Sima Nantong gave an order, all the bandits would shoot arrows and shoot the three people under the hill into twists.

Under this scene, the head of the Nanrong family is still calm. The same was true of the two servants behind him, their eyes resolute, without the slightest hint of timidity.

"The head of the Nanrong family is so bold, and the capable people under your command are also unusual. Sima Nantong praised.

"Where is Xue'er?" The head of the Nanrong family ignored Sima Nantong's flattery.

"Don't worry, inspect the goods first, and then inspect the people!" Sima Nantong said as he raised a yellow flag.

With the appearance of the yellow flag, down the steep slope, two bandits rushed out of the grass. The two bandits swaggered up to the three truckloads of goods, stabbed their knives directly into the truck full of ransom, and carefully examined them inside and out.

After the inspection was completed, the two bandits took out a green flag and responded to Sima Nantong at the top of the hillside.

At the end of the inspection, the two bandits wanted to return the truck, but were stopped by the head of the Nanrong family.

"Nanrong family master, can't you trust me?" Sima Nantong stood on the hill and shouted, "Pay money with one hand and ransom with the other, I, Sima Nantong, pay the most attention to public trust and fairness, and never break my word." My little brothers push the ransom up the slope, and then I'll release them immediately, how about it?"

The head of the Nanrong family shook his head and refused with a sneer: "Last time, you made the same promise when you set fire to the grain. ”

Sima Nantong scratched his chin a little helplessly, and waved his hand apologetically: "That's not what I meant, that's a misunderstanding." You've hugged me before, you should know me, I'm an honest and reliable person. ”

Sima Nantong apologized, but his tone was full of casualness, and he had no apologies at all. The bandits around him blew their whistles and laughed, agreeing with Sima Nantong's honest qualities.

The head of the Nanrong family did not entangle Sima Nantong with useless things. He said bluntly: "The goods have been experienced, and I want to see Xue'er now." If I can't see Cher, you don't even want to take a penny. ”

When Sima Nantong heard this, his face darkened, and his eyes were full of cruelty and murderous intent. He threatened fiercely: "Now, if I want, you all have to die." When you are ready, the goods will be mine. ”

When the words fell, all the bandits drew their bows and crossbows, ready to shoot arrows at any time.

"If that's the case, the Nanrong family will definitely not let you go. Anyone who kills you will be rewarded with a huge reward. The head of the Nanrong family was-for-tat, without the slightest concession.

Faced with the threat of the bow and crossbow, the head of the Nanrong family was not affected at all, and was still very calm. Not only that, but the two servants who came with them were equally undaunted. Even, one of the servants showed disdain and impatience in his eyes, and he didn't pay attention to the powerful bow and crossbow at all.

"Now, I'm going to see Cher. Otherwise, you won't even want to get a penny. ”

The words of the head of the Nanrong family were firm, and there was no room for retreat.

Sima Nantong put away his fierceness and became a hippie smile: "Just now, I was just joking. Don't be so serious, it makes me a little scared~"

Immediately afterwards, Sima Nantong compromised and said: "Okay, the little ones invite the eldest lady of the Nanrong family to come out, so that the head of the Nanrong family can see it clearly." ”

On the hill, Nanrong Xue'er was tied to a cart and appeared in the field of vision of the head of the Nanrong family. Her mouth was gagged and she struggled to shake her head, as if to persuade the head of the Nanrong family to leave. She didn't look like she was hurt.

"What about Sun Xiu?" the head of the Nanrong family asked after seeing Nanrong Xue'er.

"Sun Xiu?" Sima Nantong was a little surprised.

He didn't understand why the head of the Nanrong family cared about Sun Xiu.

"Yes, Sun Xiu and Xue'er were captured by you together, weren't they?"

Sima Nantong touched his round head and laughed: "Could it be that you really recognize Sun Xiu as your son-in-law?"

"What I think, it has nothing to do with you. ”

"Okay, anyway, Sun Xiu is not worth much, just give it to you. ”

Saying that, Sun Xiu was also tied to another cart and appeared in the field of vision of the head of the Nanrong family. Compared with Nanrong Xue'er, Sun Xiu seemed to have been beaten violently, with obvious bruises on his face, his head bowed, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

"Now, are you satisfied? Whether it's your daughter or your son-in-law, I'm serious about raising you, and I don't dare to slack off at all. Now, people have seen that the ransom should be handed over. Sima Nantong shouted.

Two of the bandits in charge of inspecting the goods prepared to go to the cart. However, the head of the Nanrong family still did not get out of the way. He said to Sima Nantong: "Pay money with one hand and ransom with the other, this is what you said." Therefore, the two should be synchronized. ”

"Businessmen are suspicious. We only want money, not life!" Sima Nantong shook his head helplessly and retreated, "In this way, since you want to save your daughter, it is better to push the cart uphill with my people." Two of your men quietly stay below, and that's the biggest concession I can accept. ”

The head of the Nanrong family did not answer immediately.

"What's the matter? The dignified head of the Nanrong family doesn't dare? Unwilling to pay for his daughter? Don't worry, we want money and won't hurt our lives! Don't delay any longer and waste my patience. Don't think I don't know, the people of your Nanrong family are slowly surrounding this place. If you postpone it again, it won't be the next appointment. Sima Nantong urged.

As he spoke, Sima Nantong waved his hand decisively and motioned for the bandits to leave.

"Wait a minute, I promise you. The head of the Nanrong family had no choice but to agree.

"Then you hurry. Sima Nantong looked impatient.

In this way, the two servants remained at the foot of the steep slope. The head of the Nanrong family was alone, and two bandits in charge of inspecting the goods pushed the cart to the top of the hill.

Half an hour later, the head of the Nanrong family finally came to the hill of the steep horse slope.

There were a lot of bandits on the hills, more than forty of them. Not only that, but the hill is filled with large boulders. If such a large rock is thrown from a high place, it can easily kill a person under a steep horse slope. With so many ten yuan, the bandits didn't know how to move up the steep horse slope in two days?

Needless to say, the bandits were very well prepared, as if they had already known today's ransom agreement in advance, and began to arrange preparations in advance. Nanrong Xue'er and Sun Xiu are each tied to a cart and can be pushed into the steep horse slope at any time. At such a height, once pushed down, it is impossible for the two to survive.

The head of the Nanrong family did not stop. He pushed the cart slowly, approaching Sima Nantong.

At this moment, the head of the Nanrong family was surrounded by bandits. The bandits looked at the head of the Nanrong family excitedly, holding the weapon in their hands tightly, their eyes like wolves, revealing irrepressible killing intent.

Instead of fixing their eyes on the ransom material, they stared at the head of the Nanrong family. Everything didn't quite go as expected. It seems that the goal of the bandits' hunt is not ransom, but the head of the Nanrong family.

Under the murderous gaze of the bandits, the head of the Nanrong family still did not show any cowardice. He was so calm that he seemed to be completely oblivious to the danger around him, and stepped into the encirclement of the bandits.

Nanrong Xue'er was covered with her mouth, and after seeing her "father" Nanrong family head, she shook her head desperately. She wanted the head of the Nanrong family to leave. She knew that everything was a trap designed by Sima Nantong.

When the head of the Nanrong family saw Nanrong Xue'er, he just nodded quietly, and then smiled lightly. There was no worry in his eyes. It was as if he had saved Nanrong Xue'er.

This self-confidence is so extraordinary, it is definitely not something that ordinary mortals can have.

This self-confidence is contagious, and it intimidates everyone around them. Sima Nantong never gave any orders, and all the bandits also stayed where they were, motionless.

On the steep horse slope, only the head of the Nanrong family was walking alone. The two bandits who came up with him in charge of the inspection stopped early.

I don't know when, an inexplicable aura enveloped the entire hill of the steep horse slope. The head of the Nanrong family became more and more majestic and invincible. No, the bandits couldn't afford to fight at all, and the ruthlessness in their hearts gradually disappeared, and they gave birth to a heart of surrender.

This is the breath of a king.

Although the head of the Nanrong family is in a high position, he is only the patriarch of a big family, how can he have the breath of a king?

"Don't come any closer. Sima Nantong shouted loudly. Sweat was streaming down his forehead.

Obviously, Sima Nantong is the one who has an absolute advantage, but he is a little nervous. He roared angrily, dispelling the uneasiness and awe in his heart. His roar did something to wake up most of the bandits, at least for them.

The head of the Nanrong family did not stop.

Seeing this, Sima Nantong hurriedly pushed the cart carrying Nanrong Xue'er to the edge of the steep slope.

At this moment, the head of the Nanrong family finally stopped.

"Don't move, or I'll kill your precious daughter." Sima Nantong shouted angrily.

His voice was already loud, but now it's even louder. Sima Nantong's roar could be heard on the mountains in the distance.

The head of the Nanrong family did not move. Sima Nantong showed a hideous smile again, and shouted: "Kill!"

As Sima Nantong gave the order, the surrounding bandits stepped forward, raised the knife in their hands, and slashed at the Nanrong family master. Although the head of the Nanrong family was quite majestic, it was impossible for him to prevent the sword from falling. And with so many blades, it was impossible for the head of the Nanrong family to dodge.

At this moment, the head of the Nanrong family was surrounded by bandits, and at the same time disappeared from Sima Nantong's field of vision.

Then, something weird happened. The bandits surrounding the head of the Nanrong family did not move, and froze in place. The bandits in the back also did not react.

"Why are you still moving?" Sima Nantong rebuked angrily.

In the next second, an ominous premonition shrouded Sima Nantong's heart. He had just reacted, but saw a cold glow appear in his field of vision.

The sword stood out from the encirclement of the bandits. The head of the Nanrong family was not harmed in the slightest, but instead took advantage of the bandits' encirclement, and took advantage of the moment when he was out of Sima Nantong's field of vision, to launch a swift and abnormal attack.

If Sima Nantong is killed, all the bandits will become scattered sand, and there is nothing to fear.

The speed of this sword was too fast, and it pierced Sima Nantong's throat! Sima Nantong didn't have time to think at all, so he could only rely on instinct to make a defense. He stood his machete on his side and stepped backwards.

However, the sword in the hand of the head of the Nanrong family was getting closer and closer to Sima Nantong's throat.

Fortunately, Sima Nantong called the head of the Nanrong family in time, and the distance between the two was ten meters away. This allowed Sima Nantong to gain a short period of time. Although Sima Nantong's machete did not completely block the sword in the hand of the head of the Nanrong family, it still touched it after all. Although Sima Nantong's speed is not fast, his strength is very strong. And although the speed of the Nanrong family master is extremely fast, his strength is too weak.

The strength of ordinary adults is much greater than that of the head of the Nanrong family.

Therefore, the head of the Nanrong family did not continue to maintain the direction of the sword. The sword stabbed crookedly, not stabbing Sima Nantong's throat, but only stabbing Sima Nantong's neck through a cut. What was originally a fatal wound turned into a bleeding serious wound.

Under the crisis, Sima Nantong did not hesitate. He kicked the cart that tied Nanrong Xue'er to the air. The cart with Nam Rong Xue'er tied to it was pushed beyond the steep hill.

At this moment, if the head of the Nanrong family insists on killing Sima Nantong. Then, Nanrong Xue'er will fall to her death. Therefore, the head of the Nanrong family had no choice. He did not continue to kill Sima Nantong, but grabbed Nanrong Xue'er's cart.

However, the strength of the head of the Nanrong family seemed to be very weak, and he did not pull the cart, but was carried away by the inertia of the cart and fell down the steep slope with the cart.

It's all happening in the middle of the light.

The first thing the bandits noticed was that the circle of bandits that had originally surrounded the head of the Nanrong family had all suffered fatal sword blows. It was hard to imagine how the head of the Nanrong family could dodge all the attacks in an instant and kill all the bandits around him at the same time.

In the face of such a terrifying opponent, all the bandits subconsciously retreated. Immediately afterwards, they noticed that the head of the Nanrong family had killed Sima Nantong at some point, and even almost killed Sima Nantong.

It all happened so suddenly, everyone froze in place, not knowing what to do.

At the same time, under the steep hill, one of the two servants had already begun to move. The servant was even more exaggerated, climbing straight up steep slopes, as if walking on flat ground, and at frighteningly fast speeds.

In less than ten breaths, the terrifying Nanrong servant would rush straight up the steep slope. With the skill he has shown, it is impossible for anyone to fight against him.

"What are you doing? Why don't you shoot him, stone him. Sima Nantong roared like crazy.
