Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 204 Negotiation outside the city

As dusk approached, the feeling of hot weather gradually dissipated.The setting sun hangs in the western sky, the afterglow spreads out, and it is smoky red as far as the eye can see. A rare breeze blows, mixed with the coolness of the river water.

While Su Chen was waiting anxiously at the mansion, finally a neighbor from Dasuo Street passed by and sent a letter, saying that someone handed it to him at the intersection.

"Finally something happened." Su Chen hurriedly opened the letter, and found that the content of the letter inside was very simple, and asked him to meet at Shilidi outside the city at three o'clock.

The letter pointed out that he was not allowed to report to the police, and he was not allowed to take other people there, but he was only allowed to go there alone, otherwise, he would prepare to collect the little girl's body.

Su Chen's expression was calm, and he planned to only let Bai Lang go with him. The latter is highly skilled in martial arts and should be able to deal with bandits in the forest.

To be on the safe side, Su Chen also developed drugs, poisons, smoke, lime powder, etc. in the afternoon. He brought two daggers, both of which were poisoned. Lost resistance.

Su Chen practiced martial arts for a short time, and he didn't have the talent to practice martial arts, so he could only use his brains to fight against force with wisdom.

Lu Butou, who was guarding the Su Mansion, also began to arrange operations. He sent out the police in disguise, and went out of the city to lurk and wait.

"Mr. Su, please don't worry, we will definitely arrest the Green Forest Five Monsters this time and rescue Miss Ling'er!" Catcher Lu said to Su Chen.

"Please everyone, it doesn't matter if I'm in some danger, I must save Ling'er. Before Ling'er appears, don't act rashly, so as not to scare the snake!"

Su Chen clasped his fists and told Butou Lu that even if he was in a dangerous situation and was captured, as long as Ling'er did not show up, he could not take action and arrest him, otherwise, there would be no clues to rescue Ling'er .

"I'll try my best, but the situation is changing rapidly, so we can only adapt accordingly!" Catcher Lu responded politely. He received the order from the magistrate, but no matter what, Su Chen should not be injured.

In the eyes of Zhifu Peng at this time, Su Chen's life is related to the happiness of his own daughter, and must be more precious than Su Chen's sister Ling'er, so the order secretly given to the head arrester is not to let Su Chen have any accidents, and about Rescuing the hostages came second; if they could be rescued, they would be rescued, if they couldn't be rescued, they would keep Su Chen.

Su Chen went out and got into the carriage, with Bai Lang acting as the driver, they nodded to each other, knowing the purpose of going out of the city this time, so they didn't say much.

The wheels of the car rolled on the bluestone road of the street, making the sound of creaking and creaking wooden materials. Sitting in the carriage, Su Chen still couldn't help but feel worried. At this moment, he felt that he had returned to ancient times, and without martial arts by his side, it was really troublesome , hands tied.

Half an hour later, the carriage had left the west city gate and headed towards the Shili embankment in the northwest, where there was a lake and a dam, hence the name. Yanzhiling was connected to the north of the lake, and the terrain was complex.

As the sun set, the weather gradually darkened in the evening.

When the carriage arrived under a willow tree on Shilidi, which was the location specified in the letter, the sky had already darkened.

Su Chen jumped out of the carriage and looked at the silent surroundings, the lake and mountains, sparkling under the moonlight, the river embankment was luxuriantly green, deep and empty, except for him and Bailang, there were no other figures.

While waiting patiently for a cup of tea, it was probably because the robbers lurking in the dark were watching him, and they did not show up until they did not see the figure of the official policeman.

Suddenly, only the sound of a horse's hooves was heard, and a fine horse galloped from the opposite boulevard, and a man sat on the horse's back, covered in night clothes and wrapped in a turban, covering his face.

"Where is Su Chen?" The man on the horse asked.

"I am, I brought the secret recipe, where is Ling'er?" Su Chen answered loudly.

The person on the horseback is Qiu Chusheng, the 'scholar of impermanence' among the five monsters, who came to negotiate, and said with a cold snort: "The secret recipe is not true, we can't tell if we have it, get on the horse, come with me, Trade yourself for that little girl!"

Su Chen didn't expect that this group of people didn't just want the secret recipe anymore, they came after him and wanted to kidnap him.

"Use me in exchange for the hostage?" Su Chen frowned.

With a trace of indifference on Qiu Chusheng's face, he said, "That's right, it depends on whether you are willing or not. If not, then the transaction is over, you go back and continue to be your Jiangzuo talent, and we will catch it with our own hands when we have the next opportunity." You are not too late. But that little girl will be miserable, not only will we kill her, but she will also be tortured and ravaged by our brothers before she dies, and her life will be worse than death!"

When Bailang heard this, two unusual cold lights began to burst out from his usually cloudy eyes.

Su Chen also shouted angrily: "If you dare to touch her, I will definitely destroy you Jiangdong Five Monsters in the future!"

Qiu Chusheng smiled coldly and said, "Just because you are a frail scholar, do you think we will be afraid? To tell you the truth, in the hands of five of my brothers, I don't know how many lives have been exhausted. If you have more than two brothers and sisters, you won't be too many." , if you don't cooperate obediently, that little girl will die first!"

Su Chen hesitated for a moment. He couldn't risk Ling'er's safety. Although he knew that the other party intended to intimidate him, Su Chen didn't dare to really gamble. Ling'er's life was over.

Moreover, he was being targeted by these gangsters, and the Jiangdong Five Monsters would come to arrest him sooner or later. Therefore, if he could not be completely resolved this time, there would be endless troubles in the future.

Su Chen regained his composure, looked at the impermanent scholar, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you, but I need to take this coachman with me, when I see the girl, so that he can take her away, then I can truly Be your hostage."

'The Scholar of Impermanence' Qiu Chusheng pondered for a moment, and felt that this request was reasonable. Their goal was to kidnap Su Chen, and they planned to exchange that little girl for his freedom, so that he could be restrained obediently, but they weren't fully sure. Will Chen give in?

Because these bandits in the green forest are all heartless and ungrateful people, without knowing Su Chen's character, they can't guess the status of that little girl in his heart. They are not sure, anyway, they would not do such a stupid thing if they were to change their hostages. Therefore, they did not dare to make the conditions for the hostage exchange too harsh, for fear that Su Chen would not follow through.

"That's all right, you sit on my horse first, we ride together, let him drive behind, go to a place first, and you can meet that little girl!"

The impermanent scholar sneered in his heart, intending to lure the two of them to a hidden place, away from the official road, into an ambush they had set up in advance, and kill the coachman.
