Forty miles in the southeast direction of the chicken station, there is a mountain hill after passing through the Changqing Ridge, called the evil tiger gang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the dense forest is all over the gang, the miasma is pervasive, poisonous insects, snakes and ants are often infested, and there are few people. This is not the most horrible of all. Just because there is a cottage on this hill. The name is called - Evil Tiger Cottage. Poisonous insects, snakes, and ants can be driven away by lighting a fire, but the hundred and ten outlaws of this evil tiger cottage are indeed difficult to deal with by ordinary methods. Why is it so difficult to deal with? First, the mountain bandits are cunning, and second, the leader of this group of mountain bandits, who used to be a well-known master in the rivers and lakes, but for some reason he fell into the grass on this evil tiger hill.

Passing merchants kill people here every year, seriously threatening the safety of the people near Jimingyi. The government sent troops to exterminate them, and these bandits broke into pieces and went into the forest, and came out again in a month to cause harm. After a few times, the government also had nothing to do. You can only send troops to escort merchants along the way, but it is inevitable that there will be some omissions.

Yesterday, the largest restaurant in the Jiming Station, the only son of Zhao Sihai, the shopkeeper of Sihailou, was accidentally robbed by the mountain bandits of the evil tiger village on the way back to his hometown and taken captive up the mountain. When the mountain bandit asked for the identity of this young master, he beat his bodyguard half to death, threw him back to the chicken station, and was even more arrogant to ask for ransom. When Zhao Sihai had nothing to do, he got the help of three people in order to save his only son safely.

These three people are He Xun, Ling Yan and Yan Xi.

After He Xun said goodbye to Ling Yan, he went back to his room to prepare for tomorrow's plans.

According to Zhao Sihai, it is rumored that there are 100 deaths in this evil tiger village. often robbed merchants, and there were human lives in their hands, so no one knew the details. Moreover, its leader is the 'Flying Mantis' Xiang Wuji, who became famous in the rivers and lakes many years ago. This person is ruthless and by no means a good giver. A set of flying mantis fists in his hand is even more powerful. Many knights who went to challenge were killed by him, and the first few years were fine, there would be people to challenge, but in recent years, no one has gone anymore. So that these mountain bandits are even more unscrupulous.

He Xun sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking about tomorrow's actions again.

Seeing that the sky was completely dark, He Xun tidied up the leather clothes on his body, picked up the cold moon that was tightly wrapped in black cloth, gently pushed open the window, and jumped. A few jumps and then disappeared into the night.

Tonight, it's a race against time.

Looking up at the sky, it was already the second watch. Ling Yan said to Yan Xi beside him: "It's almost time, junior sister, you can also go and prepare......

"Hmm......" Yan Xi nodded, but didn't move. "Senior brother, do you really want to do this?"

"It's about preparing for the worst and being prepared. Go ahead. Ling Yan said.

"Then I'll go!"

"Reporter, be careful and don't be noticed!" Ling Yan instructed.

"Understood. ”

"Knock-knock" The sound of the watchman being slow and fast came.

"Three shifts...... Ling Yan and Zhao Sihai sat at the round table, knocking on the door twice. Xiao San hurriedly opened the door.

Yan Xi stepped in and said, "It's arranged, no one will find out." ”

"Good. Ling Yan nodded, and said to Zhao Sihai: "Shopkeeper Zhao, I will set off on the fifth watch, please make a big fanfare......

"Huh, more fanfare?" Zhao Sihai was puzzled.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, don't worry, we have already been safe, you just have to do what I say......" Ling Yan didn't explain more, just because this matter was dangerous, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

"Good...... Good...... The old man will do his best. Zhao Sihai nodded.

It was destined to be a long night.

Before the fifth watch, Zhao Sihai began to lead people to prepare the carriage loaded with ransom and the people accompanying him. It's just that it's usually convenient, but this time it's going to the territory of the evil tiger village, which makes the guys lose their voices one by one. No one wants to touch the moldy head of the mountain bandits. Zhao Sihai obviously understands psychologically, and he doesn't force it. It's just a junior who came with the only self-recommendation. This really moved Zhao Sihai very much.

Just after the fifth watch, Ling Yan and Yan Xi appeared in front of Zhao Sihai with long swords on their waists. Zhao Sihai turned his head and found that there were only two people, but he didn't ask much, this kind of thing of risking his life for others, even if others don't do it, there is no reason to ask others. It's just that there is inevitably a loss in my heart, and one more person will give you more strength......

Perhaps seeing Zhao Sihai's knot, Ling Yan took a step forward and said, "Shopkeeper Zhao, let's start going!"

"Oooh...... Okay, let's go. ”

Ling Yan, Yan Xi, Zhao Sihai, and the junior who was driving the car, the four people, two horses and one carriage drove towards the city gate.

The sky is getting colder, Zhao Sihai's only son was kidnapped by the evil tiger village has already spread all over this small chicken station, many people watched through the window Zhao Sihai drove a carriage with ransom to the evil tiger village to redeem their son, some people were worried, some people were curious, and some people looked at the excitement and didn't care. In short, everyone has their own ideas, but most people still think that Zhao Sihai is afraid that he will not be able to come back this time......

Forty miles of mountain road, walked for an hour, when the four of them approached the evil tiger gang, a bow and arrow were shot with a whoosh, and the feather arrow was directly inserted into the center of the road. When the four of them saw this, they stopped.

Zhao Sihai jumped out of the carriage and said loudly to the top of the hill: "In Xia Zhao Sihai, send the ransom today, and ask you to take me to see your master!"

"Heh, who should I be, it turned out that I was sending money to my brothers!" A bitter laugh came from the forest, and a man walked to the middle of the road with a single knife on his shoulder, and said to the four people: "Follow me!"

The first person doesn't pay attention to it, just turn around and leave.

This to the Evil Tiger Gang does not mean that you have come to the Evil Tiger Village. The four of them followed the man carrying the knife in the forest, and after passing through a small stone forest, they arrived at the legendary Evil Tiger Village.

The bandits' nest, all made of stones, gradually appeared in the night vision of the four of them, passing through the low gate, bypassing a few wooden houses, and finally at the end of the cottage, they saw the residence of the leader of the evil tiger village, a wooden house, which was larger than the wooden houses they had seen before.

"You go in, we're waiting for you!" said the anti-knife bandit.

Ling Yan turned over and dismounted, his eyes motioned for Zhao Sihai to go in with him, while Yan Xi and Xiao San continued to watch the ransom in front of the door.

"Squeak...... Squeak...... "The wooden house is a little old, and it makes strange noises from time to time when you step on it.

"The ransom was brought?" before the two of them could stand still. A deep male voice from the main seat asked.

Ling Yan took a step forward, half-blocked Zhao Sihai behind him, and looked at the main seat. A middle-aged man in his thirties was looking at himself with a smile.

"Brought!" Ling Yan said coldly, "Your Excellency is the master of this evil tiger village?"

The middle-aged man reclined back to make himself more comfortable on the bench made of tiger skin. "I am Xiang Wuji. Xiang Wuji's eyes narrowed, and he said: "The person next to you is Zhao Sihai, so who are you?"

After confirming the identity of the main master, Ling Yan hugged his fist at him and said, "Go down to Ling Yan again, a disciple of Suzhou Yunlu Academy...... I've seen the big boss!"

The tone is sonorous and powerful, and it does not fall behind in the slightest.

"Oh?" Xiang Wuji frowned slightly, sat up slightly straight, and said, "People from Yunlu Academy?"

Ling Yan didn't answer, just looked at the other party quietly.

"I have no friendship with Yunlu Academy, nor do I have any grievances, why is Shaoxia here this time?"

The corners of Ling Yan's mouth curled, and he said, "The junior just wants to invite the big boss and return the son of the shopkeeper Zhao safely." “

"That's all?" asked Xiang Wuji.

"That's all. ”

"Then you will leave the ransom and take the people away!" said Xiang Wuji.

Ling Yan nodded, and then stopped speaking. Zhao Sihai behind him was indeed a little anxious.

At this moment, a minion suddenly ran in from outside the hall, went straight to Xiang Wuji, and muttered a few words in his ear. Xiang Wuji's face changed suddenly, his anger rose suddenly, and he slapped the minion aside with one palm. Furious, he said, "A bunch of garbage!

The people in the room were suddenly too frightened to speak, and they were all guessing in their hearts what the big boss had heard just now.

Xiang Wuji frowned, his eyes locked on Ling Yan like iron tongs, seeing that Ling Yan was calm and relaxed, he was not afraid, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. The two looked at each other for a long time, and Xiang Wuji suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Ling Shaoxia is really a good method!"

Everyone in the room was puzzled, but they obviously understood what Ling Yan had done, so that the big boss was furious, accommodating others, and slashed at each other.

Where had Zhao Sihai seen such a formation, and this moment alone scared him half to death. But Ling Yan was not afraid, this manifestation of anger towards Wuji just proved that He Xun's plan was still half successful, so he said lightly: "What the big boss says again, I don't know what to say, I hope to make it clear!"

"Hehehehe......" Xiang Wuji laughed angrily, and said: "Clearly, hehehe...... "If the meat ticket that is clearly guarded by someone at this moment is rescued by someone unknowingly, then where will I put my old face!" Thinking about it, Xiang Wuji said with a gloomy face: "Fifty thousand taels of silver, this is yesterday's price! Today, the old man will ask for one hundred thousand taels!"

"What?" Zhao Sihai couldn't believe his ears, although this Sihailou is a prosperous business, but the family has a big business, this makes a lot of money, and the expenses are more, these 50,000 taels are all his savings, these mountain bandits!!

"100,000 is 100,000!" Before Zhao Sihai could react, Ling Yan said first: "But you have to ensure Zhao Gongzi's safety!"

"Hehe......" Xiang Wuji's face became even worse, protect the safety of the meat ticket? Wasn't that meat ticket stolen by you a long time ago! But at this time, it is really impossible to mess up, it is said that this Ling Yan is in his own cottage, even if his kung fu is good, he can't withstand me and other hundred and ten people, but the problem is that this Ling Yan's identity is too troublesome, a disciple of Yunlu Academy. If it is an ordinary sect, it is fine, but this Yunlu Academy is also a large sect in the rivers and lakes, if it kills its disciples, it may not be in trouble, not to mention that this Yunlu Academy also has power among the official family, so it must not be moved lightly, otherwise how can he still have a good conversation with the other party?" "I promise not to hurt Zhao Gongzi, you wait to leave this cart of ransom, and find someone to send the other half tomorrow!"

"Hahaha......" Ling Yan smiled when he heard this: "The big boss, when I am waiting for a three-year-old child, can I be bullied?"

"Ling Shaoxia, what do you mean by that?" said Xiang Wuji angrily

"The big boss Mingjian, I waited for a while, and I didn't see Zhao Gongzi's figure at all, and I didn't even know if he was okay, so the big boss asked me to wait for the ransom to be left, which is inevitably a little too tough!"

"......" Xiang Wuji was suddenly speechless. Now that the people are not in his hands, there is no reason to keep these people. But he couldn't let go of the 50,000 taels, and he rolled his eyes to Wuji, and said: "Then you wait for the time being to go back today, even with the ransom, the wronged noble son will be wronged in my place for one more day, and bring 100,000 taels of silver to ransom people early tomorrow morning!"

"According to the big boss. Ling Yan hugged his fists and pulled Zhao Sihai away.

"Ling Shaoxia...... My son, he ......" Zhao Sihai followed behind Ling Yan and whispered.

"Shopkeeper Zhao don't ask more, let's go first!"

”......“

In front of the cottage, looking at the four of Ling Yan who had already driven away, the vicious color of Wuji's eyes suddenly appeared.

"Big boss, do you just let them go like this?" said angrily to the man behind Xiang Wuji.

"Let's go, hmph!" Xiang Wuji grinned and said, "I'm afraid none of them will be able to leave." ”

"The big boss means ......"

"Let the brothers come with me, we will wait for them in Changqing Ridge!" waved his hand to Wuji, and a mountain bandit next to him immediately brought the horses. The rest of the people also pulled out their waist knives and were eager to try.

"The great boss is wise!" the mountain bandits praised.
