readx(); The people were escorted by the vulture bones to the main cave, and Meng Shu, the king of the south, lived in it.

Lu Yi cried with a sad face: "Why do we always encounter so many troublesome things?" Cheng Sifang smiled and asked, "Do you regret worshipping me as a teacher?" Lu Yi immediately said: "How come? There are so many troubles with the master, so how can I deal with it alone?" Xiao Zhihan said: "Xiao Yi, don't worry, with me, nothing will happen." Lu Yi nodded trustingly.

When he arrived at the entrance of the winner's cave, the vulture said to the people, "Wait here, and I will report to the king." Cheng Sifang said: "I have something to bother the general of the vulture bone to hand over to the king." As he spoke, he took out the white cloth given by Shi Xie, and the vultures nodded, took the white cloth, and walked in.

After a while, the vulture came out and said, "You go in alone, and the others are waiting here." Xiao Zhihan and Qing Xuan said in unison: "I want to go together!" Cheng Sifang waved his hand and said, "No, don't worry." After saying that, Cheng Si conveniently followed the vulture into the cave.

The cave is wide, only to see that on the stone steps, there is a person sitting on the stone, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, rough and powerful, it is Meng Shu, the king of the south!

The vulture stepped forward and bowed: "King, you have brought it from all directions." ”

Meng Shu looked at Cheng Quartet and asked, "You are Cheng Quartet?" Cheng Si saluted Meng Shu and said, "It is Cheng Quartet below." Meng Shu said: "Cao Cao sent someone to ask me to kill you, what do you have to say?" Cheng Sifang was shocked: "I didn't expect Cao Cao's minions to come to such a remote place." ”

Cheng Sifang was surprised in his heart, but his face was very calm, and said: "I didn't expect that Meng Shu, the king of the South, would also listen to Cao Cao's words in the Central Plains, in this case, I fell into your hands as a Quartet, what else do you have to say?" Meng Shu patted the case and said: "Who said I was afraid of him?" Cheng Sifang said: "Otherwise, why did Cao Cao want you to kill me, and you would kill me obediently?" Meng Shu said: "I'm not afraid of Cao Cao, I'm afraid of ......"

Cheng Sifang smiled and asked: "Then what are you afraid of?" Meng Shou refused to say it for a long time, saying it was tantamount to losing face, so Meng Shu said angrily: "Lock him up first!" Cheng Sifang said: "I can lock him up, but don't embarrass my partner!" Meng Shu waved his hand: "Lock him up!"

The vulture bone hurriedly said: "King, what you are looking for is Cheng Quartet, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. Cheng Sifang smiled in his heart: "This vulture bone is really trustworthy." Meng Shu said: "No matter so much, let's talk about it after locking it up!" The vulture was helpless, and glanced at Cheng Sifang, who nodded his gratitude and was escorted down.

Meng Shu sighed and called Ah Mantu up again. When Amantu saw Meng Huo, he knelt down and said, "Sinner Amantu, meet the king." Meng Shu asked Ah Mantu to get up, and before he could speak, Ah Mantu said: "King, why did you lock up Boss Cheng indiscriminately? ”

Meng Huo's face was solemn, and he said, "I have no choice but to do so." ”

"Forced to do so?" Amantu wondered.

Meng Shu waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this yet, let me ask you, how did you spend the time you ran out?

So Amantu told the matter again, Meng Shu sighed, and said, "Alas, I didn't expect you to suffer so much, it's all my fault." Amantu hurriedly said: "No, no, no, it's my fault, I don't understand the king's good intentions, after leaving Nanzhong, I know that it is difficult to win a war with the Han people." ”

Meng Shu nodded and said, "Yes, you can be regarded as understanding, Shi Xie is so powerful, we are not his opponents at all, even if we want to fight, we have to wait later." ”

Amantu asked, "Then what does this have to do with Boss Cheng? It was he who taught me to get lost and know how to return, and asked the king to let him go." Meng said: "Alas, this is the crux of the matter. Meng was beckoned, let A Mantu come to his side, and said softly: "You don't know, Cao Cao sent someone to kill me in all directions, if not, let Shi Xie raise troops to fight me, what do you let me do?"

A Mantu was taken aback: "I see!" couldn't help but wonder again: "Then why didn't the king directly kill Boss Cheng, but lock him up?" Meng Shu said: "I don't want to kill someone casually." "Ah Mantu knows Meng Huo's thoughts, in fact, Meng Huo can be regarded as a master, otherwise he would not have become the king of Nanzhong.

The prison in Nanzhong is also a stone room, and compared with the prison in Runan, it has less stench and more cold.

Everyone was locked up in various stone rooms, and the important people in the caravan, such as Cheng Sifang Xiao Zhi Han Qing Lu Yi, were all locked up in one room. Lu Yi sat cross-legged and said secretly: "Master must have a way to save us out, I have to calm down, don't be afraid, practice the Taixuan True Qi that Master taught me." ”

Lu Yi is still like this, and Qing Shu is not afraid, in Qing Shu's heart, it is a kind of happiness to be able to die with Cheng Sifang.

Xiao Zhihan and Cheng Quartet not to mention, as long as they wanted to, the stone room would not be able to trap them at all. If it weren't for Cheng Quartet's reluctance to hurt people's lives, Xiao Zhihan would have broken out a long time ago.

Cheng Sifang waited quietly in the stone chamber, knowing that someone would come looking for him.

Sure enough, Ah Mantu ran over and shouted, "Boss!" Cheng Sifang was taken aback and said, "Ah Mantu, why are you outside? Shouldn't you be locked up?" Cheng Sifang hurriedly said: "You run! Run!" A Mantu was stunned: "Why?"

Cheng Sifang said: "You don't care why, I'm your boss, you run quickly, go to Xichuan, I have a companion waiting for us there, you go and meet him, he is a knife maker, called Pu Yuan, go, don't let people find out, run!" Cheng Quartet is outstanding, although Amantu doesn't know what to do, he still listened to Cheng Quartet and rushed away.

Cheng Quartet paused and said: "Damn, if Amantu is locked up, then we still have a glimmer of hope, and if Amantu is not locked up, then we don't even have a glimmer of hope." ”

A Mantu betrayed and led 10,000 people to surrender to Shixie, which was a great loss for Nanzhong, and he couldn't help but lose a general. It's strange that Meng Shu doesn't hate Amantu, Amantu is outside, Meng Shu must have another conspiracy, Cheng Quartet can't think of what the reason is for a while, in short, let Amantu run first.

The more Cheng Sifang thought about it, the more frightened he became, and said in his heart: "I can't say it, I can only ......."

So Cheng Quartet said loudly: "Xiao Han! Let's do it! Be careful not to hurt people's lives!"
