Rebellious officials bow their heads

There was a moment of silence, and General Pi led his men to tie the bandits together in a circle, when a thin man in a brocade robe broke the calm with loud shouts.

"Who are you? How dare you arrest me, do you know that my elder brother is the head of Yanfeng Village!" He struggled vigorously, and two soldiers managed to lift him over, "Do you know the consequences for arresting me? My elder brother When I get the news, I will definitely kill you all!"

Xu Yan and the others looked over, and Jing Fuling asked, "Is this the bandit leader?"

Hearing this, the thin man glanced at them, then looked at General Pi and his group, his arrogance turned into surprise, and he said, "Boss of the capital? Are you from Yuan Xuanfeng? My brother brought me to visit Yuan Xuanfeng the day before yesterday. Even he has to give way to my elder brother, I have known him for a long time, you still don't let me go?"

The group of soldiers hesitated when they heard the words, and stopped dragging the thin man away, and stopped in place one after another.

They have all heard the rumors that Yuan Xuanfeng and Yanfengzhai have a close relationship. If the people standing here are Cao Qihan and others, he would not dare to bind people from Yanfengzhai even if he had ten guts.

But at this moment, the pilots are just some small soldiers in the capital, and they don't know much about the internal news.At the beginning, seeing the bandits attacking the village, they didn’t intend to do anything. The bandit nests in Lingbei are big and small, and it’s common for small gangs to burn, kill and loot in the vicinity. It wasn’t until they were forced by Xu Yan’s deterrence that they picked up the mess. Never expected that it would be the famous Yanfeng Village.

Just as General Pi was about to step forward to untie the rope for the man, he heard the sound of a long sword being unsheathed behind him.

Jing Yuan's brows were cold, and he didn't look at him, his right hand pressed on the Chuan Luan sword that was three parts out of its sheath.

Pi climbed up his back into the chill, without any doubt that if he dared to stretch out his hand, the blade would cut off his palm in an instant.

When his movements were stiff, Xu Yan looked at the thin man, the cold smile on his face deepened, and he turned his head to Jing Fuling and said, "Send a message to Pang Qing, and the plan to rebuke wolf cavalry is on hold."

Jing Fuling said: "Pang Qing made an agreement with us, and a person with his iron will will not change the plan."

"Since Pang Qing's people failed to stop Yuan Xuanfeng and let the old fox sneak back to his lair, it means that his plan is not perfect, and if it continues, there will be more mistakes." Xu Yan said, "Tell him, give me a long time In time, I will take down Yuan Xuanfeng."

He paced up to the thin man, who shrank back from his gaze, trembling in fear, "You, what do you want to do?"

-

an hour ago.

Ye Liuzhou didn't expect the strange number of bandits to be infested, and they were scattered in the bushes where several soldiers and horses were fighting. The sound of stepping on dead branches can be clearly heard.

There was a soft sound of the bowstring being drawn in the air, which made him turn around immediately, and saw a group of soldiers from the capital's battalion armed with armor appeared silently in the jungle behind him, and the leader was none other than Cao Qihan.

He pointed the arrow on his bow at Ye Liuzhou, and asked sharply, "Why are you here alone? Where is General Yuan now!"

Facing the hundreds of soldiers, Ye Liuzhou did not show any panic. He said calmly, "General Yuan has already passed Heiyan Mountain. He sent me to look for the missing General Zhao Ke."

Cao Qihan seemed to be considering the authenticity of his words. After a moment of stalemate, he slowly put down his bow and arrow, and said, "There are those damned wolf dogs everywhere in the bushes. I sent people to look for General Zhao Ke's whereabouts, but there is no news , have you seen any of them on the way you came?"

"No." Ye Liuzhou said, "I have General Yuan on my shoulders, and I still need to find Zhao Ke's whereabouts. Let's go first."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the other side. Cao Qihan stood on a high place, staring at his movements with some apprehension, without stopping him.

At this time, Ye Liuzhou heard a commotion behind him, and another group of people walked in. He didn't look back, the people who will appear here at this moment are either scattered soldiers of the capital division, or scolding wolf cavalry .

If it's the latter, it's great, but if it's the former, then his situation is very dangerous.

Ye Liuzhou quickened his pace.

Then Cao Qihan's voice sounded: "Why did you come back? How many wolf dogs are there? Are there any whereabouts for Zhao Ke and the others?"

As he spoke, he turned his head and called Ye Liuzhou: "Your surname Ye, don't rush away. Wolves and dogs are haunting this area. Listen to their news first."

The team of scouts who came back from the survey looked at Ye Liuzhou's back in a panic, not breathing well.

He didn't turn around.

Cao Qihan frowned: "I'm calling you, did you hear that! Ye Liuzhou!"

When the scout heard this name, his expression changed drastically, "—don't let him run away, he's a traitor! He's a man who reprimanded wolves and iron cavalry! We found out that Pang Qing and Ji Xingwei were not dead at all, and they set a trap!"

Cao Qihan suddenly raised his bow and arrow, and forced the words out between his teeth: "--stop-stop!"

With Ye Liuzhou's current position, he couldn't dodge the arrow at all. He stopped, turned around slowly, and looked at the crowd with a sinking face.

Immediately, several soldiers rushed up to grab him and turned him to Cao Qihan.

Cao Qihan thought of this situation thanks to him, like an enraged leopard, he punched him in the stomach fiercely, originally thought that the opponent would break free from the soldiers and dodge, but he didn't expect that the opponent would not be able to break free from the soldiers holding his arms , took the punch firmly.

The whole person fell backwards, if the soldiers were not holding him down, Ye Liuzhou would have fallen straight away.

Severe pain came from his abdomen, he coughed heavily, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

Cao Qihan was a little surprised, and soon laughed sinisterly, "So, you have no martial arts at all, and you faked all the three competitions! It's your embroidered pillow, which made me lose face! I don't want to kill you! "

He took the bow and arrow from the arms of the soldier next to him, put it down after a pause, pulled out the saber directly, and put it on the opponent's neck.

Ye Liuzhou raised his head, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, but his tone didn't mean to be nervous, but he said calmly: "Lord Cao, are you really going to kill me?"

"What? You want to beg for mercy?" Cao Qihan said disdainfully.

"I just think that if you just return without success, and even return to the capital with half of your staff, can Yuan Xuanfeng let you go easily?"

"Isn't it enough to go back with your traitor's head?"

Cao Qihan was about to swing his sword, but he heard the other party continue: "Going back with a dead man's head, I'm afraid it won't be enough to appease Yuan Xuanfeng's anger, unless he knows useful news."

Cao Qihan stopped his movements, stared at the man for a while, and then said: "What I said is, I won't kill you for the time being, but don't be complacent."

He turned his head and ordered to his subordinates: "Tie his hands."

The hemp rope tightly tied Ye Liuzhou's hands together, and Cao Qihan tied the other end to the horse.

Seeing this scene, Ye Liuzhou's pupils constricted slightly.

Then Cao Qihan got on his horse and ordered loudly to everyone: "Go back to the capital through the bushes from the left!"

As he spoke, he whipped the horse and whipped it, and the horse neighed and galloped forward, dragging Ye Liuzhou two feet away in an instant.

Countless horses galloped around, kicking up dust all over the sky, as long as he fell down, he would be trampled to death, but this place is still a hundred miles away from Dusi.

The Dusi mansion is located majestically, the red lacquered gate with the copper ring of the animal head is open to the outside, and many soldiers and soldiers are coming and going in a hurry.

Cao Qihan grabbed a man by the front and dragged him across the courtyard, causing the servants on both sides to look back frequently. He stepped up the steps and entered the main hall.

Inside, Yuan Xuanfeng was sitting on the red sandalwood chair in front of him. His expression was strict, and his brows revealed a trace of anxiety.

Cao Qihan walked up to him, grabbed the man's hair, and made him look up.

Ye Liuzhou was dragged by the horse and ran all the way until all his strength was exhausted. At the last moment of falling down, he broke the hemp rope on the sharp rock and rolled over to the side.

However, he didn't have the slightest strength to escape, and was directly caught by Cao Qihan and brought back to Dusi Mansion immediately.

His clothes were ragged, he was extremely embarrassed, his body was covered with dust, his face was covered with sweat stains, and his lips were so chapped that they peeled off.

He lowered his eyelids and looked at Yuan Xuanfeng. In this situation, he could still smile feebly, and said in a hoarse voice: "General Yuan, we meet again."

Yuan Xuanfeng's face was cloudy and uncertain, he didn't speak, the main hall was silent, he stood up from the chair after a while, only heard a clang, he quickly drew out the sharp long sword, and stabbed the man's head with the tip of the sword at a tricky angle left eye!

Seeing the moment when he was about to be bloody and bloody, Cao Qihan beside him couldn't help showing horror, and seeing that the man was completely indifferent to the sharp blade, not even a single eyelash trembled.

The tip of the sword stopped in front of Ye Liuzhou's pupils within a fraction of a second.

Yuan Xuanfeng said in a deep voice: "Tell Pang Qing and Ji Xingwei's plan, I will save your life for the time being, otherwise I will chop you up and feed them to the dogs!"

Just as Ye Liuzhou was about to speak, his opponent suddenly laughed coldly again: "I know that you are impeccable in your lies, but there are ways to make you tell the truth."

Yuan Xuanfeng said to Cao Qihan: "Raise the stake."

"Yes." Cao Qihan dragged Ye Liuzhou out, ordered his servants to pile up firewood in the courtyard, and tied the man firmly to the bracket.

Now Ye Liuzhou couldn't move his hands and feet, and he gritted his teeth while looking at Yuan Xuanfeng opposite.

"Let me ask you now." Yuan Xuanfeng stood with his hands behind his back, "How many people does Pang Qing have in the bush? Is there an ambush in Heiyan Mountain? Where are the remaining wolf-repelling cavalry?"

"Think carefully before speaking." Cao Qihan smiled coldly at Ye Liuzhou under Yuan Xuanfeng's signal, and threw the firewood he was holding into the firewood.

With a coaxing sound, the crimson flames flowed out wantonly on the firewood pile, burning rapidly and blazingly!
