Chapter 178: Hostages

Wang Qinghu said again: "I'll pay him a prescription right away, and he'll be fine after a few days of recuperation." He looked at Chen Jingru again and said: "But Xiao Chen, you really have the vision, find such a good master, in a year, the sword technique has improved to such an extent, and you don't even pay attention to the five or six grades of the golden bucket, thinking back to two years ago in the ring of Huifeng Valley, it is like a world away, it is like a cloud of mud, I can't believe it, I see that your sword skills are about to surpass me." ”

Although Chen Jingru didn't have the strength, he still smiled bitterly and said, "The master of the Wang Zhai is too elevated to me, how can I dare to compare my carving insect skills with the master of the Wang Village?"

Wang Qinghu's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he nodded: "That's right, if I go out in person, there will be no such thing." ”

Several county lords didn't know that this fat man was bragging, and when they saw him say something solemnly, they couldn't help but be secretly frightened. This fat man is just a Bai Dou cultivator, he didn't expect it to be so big, his master turned out to be from the same door as the palace master of Zihua Palace, that's all, the apprentice of the chief county lord is so powerful, he is not his opponent?

Their minds are a little unable to turn around, thinking that their cultivation of the sixth grade of the golden bucket is not as good as this golden bucket second grade, and this golden bucket second grade is not as good as his master Jin Dou Yipin, listening to the tone of this fat man, these two golden buckets are not as good as his white bucket, why are the people of the chief county lord so strange, the lower the cultivation, the stronger the ability? Could it be that they are all cultivating backwards? The more they think about it, the more confused they become, it seems that they should be careful when they see Bai Dou in the future.

Jiang Xiaobai turned his head to look at the enemy army, frowned and said, "It's strange, they are really calm, they don't call for formation or pursuit, do they plan to live here permanently?"

Fan Shutian said: "It may be that they were intimidated by Brother Chen's divine might, so they didn't dare to act rashly." ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "One person can suppress the people of fifty counties? Do you really think that my apprentice is a god?"

Niu Xuangu said: "They don't call the formation, because they don't have the face to scream, the two Jin Dou masters were beheaded by the Chen brothers alone, what face do they still have? As for their refusal to pursue, it may be because the people and horses of the eighteen counties were completely annihilated last time, and they have lingering palpitations, so they dare not act rashly, for fear of following in the footsteps of the eighteen counties, it seems that the prestige of the chief county lord has made them afraid. ”

Jiang Xiaobai took a deep breath and said, "I don't like them to be afraid of me, I still like the enemy to despise me and look at me like an ant." ”

Liu Zhisheng said: "But they are afraid that we can't help it, they like to live permanently, let them live, anyway, this is our territory, we have a house to live in, we don't have to worry about eating and drinking, are we afraid that we can't consume them?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us, we must fight quickly!"

Liu Zhisheng said: "Then what should I do? Do you want to scold the formation and provoke them to do it?"

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and said: "The enemy army has been slow to attack, even we are here to treat the wounded, a golden opportunity, but the enemy army is unmoved, which shows that the enemy commander is cautious, the more you scold him, the more he dare not move!"

Liu Zhisheng said: "Then what should I do?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "First carry Jingru to the mountain to recuperate, and then I'll observe!"

Liu Zhisheng answered, called a few people to cut down a few slender trees, tied them into a stretcher, put Chen Jingru on them, and carried them up the mountain.

Enemy camp. Hai Xiangming had a blue face at this time, and there was nowhere to vent his anger, it was really embarrassing, two monks of five or six grades of gold buckets were killed by a second grade of gold buckets, if this matter was transmitted back to the government and the opposition, it was estimated that it would be enough for people to laugh for a lifetime.

There was a county lord on the side who seemed to see through his thoughts, and stepped forward and said: "Chief county lord, now that thorn has been pulled out, or we will call the battle again and win two more games and come back, so that we can get our face back." ”

Hai Xiangming said coldly: "If it were you, would you fight? What is the purpose of calling the battle? If you look at the enemy's morale, the morale is like a rainbow now, do you still need to drum again? If you drum again, it will explode. And if we call for the battle again, it will not be to boost morale, but to become a shame, and we can't even beat the second grade of the golden bucket, so what face do we have to call the battle?"

The county lord said, "What should I do then?

Hai Xiangming's eyes slipped a trace of coldness, and said, "Kill two people first!"

The county lord was startled and said, "Kill whom?"

Hai Xiangming said: "Don't worry, it's not to kill you." He turned his head and shouted, "Bring someone here." ”

As soon as the words ended, the crowd parted, and several monks walked out with two men in tow. Two people wore shackles and anklets, a man and a woman, their hair was disheveled, their clothes were disheveled, and they seemed to be sealed and cultivated, and they couldn't even walk, and they were almost dragged out by several monks.

The man and woman were dragged to the center of the two armies, where Chen Jingru had just fought fiercely, and were pressed to their knees. Two monks grabbed the man and the woman by the hair, made them show their faces, and raised their heads, and one of the monks shouted in the direction of Jiang Xiaobai: "False Hou Ye, do these two people know each other?"

Jiang Xiaobai originally felt strange when he saw the enemy escorting two people over, and looked at those two people at the same time, although the clothes were disheveled, they felt familiar when they looked at the form, and after being reminded by the monk, his scalp suddenly went numb, and he exclaimed: "Miss Chang?" Turning his head and asking Feng Yan again, "Do you think it's Lord Chang and Miss Chang?"

Feng Yan looked at it carefully and said, "It seems to be! What can I do about this?"

This man and woman are Chang Yuhuan and Chang Chuchu.

Hai Xiangming is also proficient in the art of war, knowing that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win a hundred battles. After hearing that the commander of the enemy army was Qingliang Hou, he specially sent someone to Qingliang City to inquire about Qinglianghou's past, but he accidentally learned that the daughter of the county lord of Daojun had presided over the affairs of the Hou Mansion for a year, and he knew that this county lord of Daojun must have a lot to do with Qingliang Hou, so he kept an eye on it and made people pay more attention.

When the soldiers and horses were transferred, Daojun was deliberately transferred, and Chang Yuhuan got the news, and hurriedly repaired a book, preparing to send it to Jiang Xiaobai, but was intercepted by the sentry sent by Hai Xiangming.

This is a collaborator, there are all human and material evidence, and it should be asked immediately, but when Hai Xiangming saw Chang Chuchu, who was in the water spirit, she changed her mind, thinking that this Chang Chuchu and that Qingliang Hou must be a couple, otherwise they would not be qualified to preside over the Hou Mansion, and it would be useful to keep it.

At this time, the monk who escorted Chang Chuchu shouted again: "False Hou Master, since you know each other, you might as well come and talk!"

Chang Chuchu couldn't speak, so anxious that tears flowed down, and secretly prayed: Brother Jiang, don't come over!

Feng Yan turned his head and said, "Young Master, what should I do, this is a trap!"

Jiang Xiaobai sighed: "Even if it's a trap, I'll drill it and take a look." Bushe!"

Buxiu walked out and said, "What do you command?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "You go talk first, you must save the lives of this father and daughter first!"

Buxiu nodded and said, "Okay!"

The horse walked over, and stopped two feet away from Chang Chuchu.

The monk who escorted Chang Chuchu said, "Who are you?"

Bu Xiu glanced at Chang Yuhuan's father and daughter, and after making sure that it was correct, he said, "What kind of thing are you? ”

The monk was a little unconvinced, and said, "You are not a false marquis, what qualifications do you have?"

Buxiu said: "You are not convinced that you are not a thing, if there is a kind of you who will say it again, uncle, I will turn around and leave, and talk to you about a chicken." ”

The monk really didn't dare to make the decision, so he turned his head to look at Hai Xiangming, but fortunately, Bu Xiu said it loudly, and Hai Xiangming also heard it, so he led a few county lords over. Said lightly: "I'm Hai Xiangming, who are you?"

Buxiu said: "You don't care who I am, if I say it, I will be scared myself." Since you are the chief county lord, you must also be a smart person, I never like to talk nonsense when talking to smart people, let's talk about it, put forward conditions!"

Hai Xiangming said: "The people below Qinglianghou are really different. In this case, I won't go around the bend, and it's very simple to rescue these two people, let Qinglianghou exchange it himself. ”

Bu Xiu exclaimed: "Your brain is broken, right? Just these two people want to change our chief county lord? Do you think that if you pull your father and mother over, you can also change Zhennanhou back?"

In fact, Hai Xiangming is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and he doesn't have much hope at all, so he changes himself, don't talk about the object, even if it is his parents, he will not agree, but thinking that this woman is the object of Qinglianghou, even if Qinglianghou does not agree, he will be killed in front of Qinglianghou, and his heart will be happy, and he can also wash away the shame he has just suffered. Unexpectedly, the person sent by Qinglianghou not only disagreed, but also humiliated him, although he was strong-minded, he couldn't help but be annoyed and ashamed, and said: "Since this is the case, then there is nothing to talk about, and it is useless to keep these two people, kill me." ”

When the people under the horse heard this, they really drew their swords out of their sheaths, preparing to kill Chang Yuhuan's father and daughter.

In fact, the reason why Bu Xiu angered Hai Xiangming was to see if he would kill the father and daughter, although the alliance leader believed in the father and daughter, but he was not at ease, now the world is unstable, what if this group of people are colluding to act! At this time, he hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute!" turned his head and looked at Hai Xiangming again, and said: "How can you say that you are also a chief county lord, why can't you hold your breath?" We are talking about the conditions, and we can discuss it again where we can't get along, this kind of thing can't be rushed, we have to think in the long run, and if you do business with a character like yours, you will most likely starve to death. ”

Hai Xiangming was so angry with him that her teeth itched, but seeing that his words had taken a turn for the better, she still held back her anger and said: "There is nothing to discuss, only Qinglianghou will change, there is no second way to choose." ”

Buxiu said: "You have no sincerity like this!"

Hai Xiangming sneered and said, "I don't need sincerity, just see if Lianghou is sincere?"

Buxiu said: "The condition you mentioned is not realistic at all, maybe we can take a step back, for example, in exchange for me?"

Hai Xiangming was stunned: "You, you are not worthy!"

Buxiu shook his head and sighed: "It seems that you still don't know my identity, otherwise you wouldn't have said that." ”

Seeing that he was alone but fearless, calm and calm, Hai Xiangming was also a little curious in her heart, and said, "Who are you?"

Buxiu smiled: "Don't tell you, it's a secret!"
