Chapter 152: Snatching Food from the Tiger's Mouth (Part II)
Nan Luoxing and the others looked at the people who were in ambush behind the side together, but saw that the bows and arrows drawn by those people did carry clusters of fire, Nan Luoxing asked, "What do you mean?"
The boss proudly explained: "I can't hide it, you are already surrounded by gunpowder, and if the rain of arrows falls, this place will be razed to the ground in an instant." β
"Aren't you afraid that the two of us will be blown up together?" Nan Luoxing asked rhetorically,
"Since we can't get it, even if we blow them up, it's better than falling into your hands!" replied the Boss in a loud voice, as if he had no scruples.
Nan Luoxing couldn't make up his mind when he heard this, so he discussed with the ghost-faced old monster who was already injured: "Old monster, what should I do?"
The grimace old monster replied: "Now that the masters are in front of us, and the predicament is coming, we either choose to die together with the two behind us, or we will leave those two people to protect themselves according to their orders, and now they are just worried that those two will not kill us, but once we resolutely resist, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not make this decision." β
Nan Luoxing felt that what the old monster said was reasonable, after all, he didn't know anything about the other party, he and the old monster with the grimace knew very well that the other party was definitely not the person sent by Kublai Khan, and this layout was by no means temporary, the other party seemed to know his plan in advance, and it was premeditated, and Kublai Khan's people only met at the foot of the Shaolin Temple last night, if they intended to set up an ambush here, there was no need to send another wave of people and horses in Shaolin, besides, looking at their clothes, and the situation of covering their faces and not wanting to show their true faces, it was definitely not Kublai Khan's style, and the bows and crossbows of the people and horses were very different from the bows and crossbows used by the militaryγ
"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood. As long as the people are not in the hands of Kublai Khan, it is easy to go back, not to mention that the details of this wave of people are not clear, and it is not easy to think about their plans. The grimace old monster thought to himself, and then said to Nan Luoxing: "I just do what they say, I don't know what you mean?"
Nan Luoxing and the ghost-faced old monster have the same idea, after all, saving their lives is the best, and they can't afford to deal with these ruthless people. As for Dao Tuo and Xiao Pa, they naturally chose to save their lives. "Just do what you want!" Nan Luoxing said heartily,
Immediately, Nan Luoxing shouted at the boss: "We agreed to keep the two of them, but how can you keep us safe?"
The boss couldn't help but be slightly happy when he saw that the other party had promised to keep Zongzheng and the others, and replied: "You can naturally rest assured, as long as you keep the two of them, we will naturally keep our promise and let you go!"
It's a matter of life, and Zong Zheng and the two of them are now a life-saving pledge, if they are careless and do not take a good look at the pledge, they will inevitably gamble their lives, therefore, Nan Luoxing is still extremely cautious, and responded to Lao Dao: "It's not that I can't believe you, it's just that we are passive right now, and we can't help but worry about our lives, so let's let us out first, otherwise we will never easily leave the two of them." β
After Nan Luoxing finished speaking, he felt that he should have some consolation and entrustment to Zongzheng, so he approached Zongzheng again and persuaded Zongzheng in a low voice: "Young man, we have no choice but to wronged the two of you to temporarily fall into their hands as hostages, but please rest assured, our Great Khan will definitely think of arranging for us to rescue you!"
Zong Zheng did not have any partiality for King Mobei in his heart, and his persuasion to Nan Luoxing was only a coping response, expressing his understanding of the current situation.
The boss then ordered his men to get out of the way from the front, and shouted to the grimace and the others: "The two of them stay inside, you can come out, if you dare to play tricks, I will order my men to release arrows and blow them both up." β
Nan Luoxing was quite smiling about the boss's threatening tone, but he had no choice but to leave in a reluctant voice, and the soldiers holding bows and crossbows in front did not dare to relax for a moment, for fear that the grimace old monster and others would play tricks.
After a tense game, the grimace and the others finally withdrew, and due to the deterrence of the four bosses, they did not return to provoke after getting out of danger.
The four eldest approached Zong Zheng and slowly lifted the black veil, Zong Zheng was not surprised, but said lightly: "Presumably this is the masterpiece of the valley lord again! The only thing I don't understand is that you are all Mongolians, why do you want to fight so much?"
The boss replied: "There are too many incomprehensible things in the world, as if we also have a lot of incomprehensible questions to ask you, come with us, the valley lord wants to meet you in person!"
"Where to go?" asked Zongzheng,
"Of course it's the Beauty Valley!" the boss replied, looking at Zong Zheng's cramped and worried look, he comforted and said, "Don't worry, if the valley master wants you to die, why bother to set up this bureau to snatch you back from those people." β
Zong Zheng felt reasonable, but he didn't want to go to the Valley of Beauty again, because when he arrived at that place, it was like entering a cage, with many constraints, it seemed difficult to break free and be free, so he tentatively asked: "What if we don't go?"
The boss was very dissatisfied with Zong Zheng's tentative question, and replied with a sullen face: "If you insist on not going, we can only do it!"
Zong Zheng reversed the old avenue: "Do it? You want to kill us? Can't! Just now you swore that the valley master didn't want us to die." β
"However, if you don't cooperate, we can only take action, we know that the two of you have shown your kung fu in the Hall of Bliss, and when it comes to strength, you could have balanced with the four of my brothers, but don't forget, you have hundreds of sharp arrows on your heads, if you are injured by gunpowder, then you can't blame us!" the boss replied.
Zong Zheng snorted twice, with a contemptuous smile, "It's okay for you tricks to deceive those people, there is no gunpowder here at all, since you valley lord doesn't want me to die, how can you risk really putting explosives, it's just bluffing!"
What Zong Zheng said is indeed true, the boss and others did not plant explosives around at all, and the reason that Zong Zheng said is only one of them, more importantly, the valley lord saw the thoughts of these people, since Zhu Yunshi was captured by Kublai Khan, Ali Buge has not yet sent someone to rescue, and he is focused on competing with Kublai Khan for the throne, which makes the grimace old monster and these people extremely cold, so they are also detached from Ali Buge, and they all want to save their lives first.
What's more important is that the valley owner is really concerned about Zongzheng's safety, she is worried about the grimace old monster from the other side, if there is really gunpowder, naturally dare not release arrows, so as not to accidentally injure Zongzheng, and if there is no gunpowder, if necessary, you can also help the four bosses with arrows.
This is not the same as it used to be. Originally, the eight wolves of Zhongshan were eight people and had an absolute advantage, but now, the whereabouts of the second and fourth people are still unknown, so when they carry out important tasks and face strong enemies, they can only help each other with arrows as they do today;
Therefore, the valley lord could only use gunpowder to scare the ghost-faced old monster and others, and instructed the boss not to fight hard, and to take the lead in hitting the leader together, so as to ensure that one blow must be hit, and one hit must be seriously injured, so as to effectively deter these foreign masters.
Under the three-layer convergence of the master's coercion, the threat of gunpowder and the psychology of self-preservation, the grimace old monster and the others compromised as the valley master expected, and did not get excited.
And although Zong Zheng saw through all this, he was silent, because from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to be with the ghosts and monsters, and he always had doubts in his heart that needed to be answered by the valley master, so he borrowed water to push the boat, pretending to stay aggrieved, but he didn't want to return to the Beauty Valley, because the Beauty Valley itself was a geographical threat and constraint to Zong Zheng and Xianjie.
The boss saw that Zong Zheng saw through the valley master's plan, and couldn't help but secretly admire Zong Zheng, however, the valley lord made an oath that he would never step out of the beauty valley half a step in this life, if he violated the oath, he was willing to commit suicide, this oath has a origin, even the boss is not clear, he just knows that the valley owner has such an oath.
Therefore, the power of the valley lord is self-evident, he is in a valley, but he knows the information of the world, and he is stunned to spread his eyes all over the world, and he is in a few miles of land, and he knows the major events of Wanjiang.
The valley lord had long expected that Zong Zheng was reluctant to come, so he didn't have an explanation for the boss, only to see the boss calmly respond to Zong Zhengdao: "Even if there is no explosives, do you think that with the strength of my eight brothers, I will not be able to subdue you?"
Zong Zheng was awakened by the boss's words, "By the way, I actually forgot about this, and there are four of them." Thinking of this, I couldn't help but have some worries and worries in my heart, knowing that even if I worked together with Xianjie, I really couldn't beat the eight masters to join forces to besiege, not to mention the rain of arrows to help.
Seeing that Zong Zheng's face showed a slight worry, the boss took the opportunity to promise: "Don't worry, the valley master will never trap you in the Beauty Valley, her old man just wants to make a deal with you, and by the way, let you answer her old man's doubts." β
"Deal, what deal? She's so sure I'll cooperate obediently?" Zong Zheng asked rhetorically,
"You can know what deal you go, you can rest assured, you will definitely be interested in this transaction, and you will be happy to cooperate with our valley master!" the boss prompted,
Zong Zheng thought that there was no choice now, since it was a transaction, then the valley master must be dependent on himself, so there would be no danger, so he agreed: "Okay, I'll go to the Beauty Valley with you!"
Xianjie heard Zongzheng's refreshing answer, and couldn't help but pull Zongzheng's clothes slightly, for that nightmare-like place, Xianjie was both deeply hated and afraid, last time she finally escaped, but now she wants to go into the tiger's mouth, she can't help but be extremely worried and afraid, especially imagining the face of the valley master, and her unfathomable, Xianjie is a little trembling, and her heart can't help but hair, strange and uncomfortable!
Zong Zheng saw Xianjie's thoughts, and held Xianjie's right hand that pulled his sleeve tightly, and persuaded An: "Xian'er, don't be afraid, there is Brother Zheng!"
Immediately, Zong Zheng and Xianjie followed the boss along the pre-planned road to the Valley of Beauty, and there were people along the way to answer them, extremely secretive, Zhang Hongyan and the ghost-faced old monster and others seemed to have lost Zongzheng's whereabouts, and there was nowhere to inquire.
