Chapter 25 Kidnapping 2
After hearing the meaning of the other party's words, he already knew that his father was Liu Xing, a fellow governor of Qingzhou Prefecture. Liu Xiao suppressed the original idea of ​​using his father's name to suppress the situation. Regardless of whether he had heard of the Five Tigers of Mount Tai before, he once again He begged for mercy and said: "Yes, yes. As much as you heroes want, I will get it for you right away."

"Don't worry. Even if we give you the money now and we let you go, we still don't know if we can leave the city. It's better for you to accompany us out of the city first, and then ask your father-in-law to give you the money." After saying this, Liu Xinqi said no more. , signaling a soldier to go to the back door and ask Liu Xinhui to come over.

"No need to go to such trouble, just tell me the number, and I promise to get it together as soon as possible, and I also promise that you can get out of the city smoothly..." Liu Xiao saw Liu Xinqi answering twice in a row, knowing that he was the leader of these fierce men, Liu Xiao faced Liu Xinqi said again.But before he finished speaking, Liu Xinqi pinched the artery in his neck and fainted.

When Liu Xinhui came over, he arranged for him to carry Liu Xiao, and the other two soldiers carried a thug who seemed to have no limb injuries. Liu Xinqi and Liu Xingang carried the tools they had prepared before and ran towards the west wall together.

Along the way, he carefully avoided night watchmen and watchmen, and arrived at the west city wall.Choosing a remote location far away from the city gate tower, Liu Xingang put down the things in his hands, squatted down with his back against the city wall, folded his hands on his abdomen, Liu Xingqi trotted towards Liu Xingang, and stepped on Liu Xingang with his right foot. On their hands, the two of them exerted force at the same time, Liu Xingqi lifted up, and Liu Xingang straightened up while raising his hands.

With the combined strength of the two, Liu Xinqi jumped directly onto the city wall that was more than three feet high (10 meters). Looking around, there was no one on duty on the city wall, and there was only a bright light coming from the city gate tower.

He turned around and waved his hand downwards, and there was still a bundle of rope coming up from below, with an iron claw at one end of the rope.Liu Xinqi fixed the iron claws on the female wall. The soldiers below tied the three kidnapped people to their backs and climbed up one by one along the rope.

When everyone went up to the city wall, Liu Xinqi lifted the rope up and fixed it on the outer wall. Everyone followed the rope down to the bottom of the wall. Liu Xinqi was the last one to retract the hook and jumped directly off the city wall, waiting for him below. The two warriors caught it.

When they arrived at the city wall, Liu Xingqi handed one end of the rope to Liu Xingang and swam across the moat first. The other three soldiers then followed the rope and carried the three kidnappers across the river. Finally, Liu Xingang was dragged across the river by the soldiers using the rope.

So far, everyone has successfully left the city without any danger.

There was no delay after crossing the river. He directly resisted the three kidnappers and continued walking west. After walking three miles, Liu Xinqi woke up a thug, pulled off a jade pendant from Liu Xiao's waist, handed it to him, and said:

"Now take the token and go back immediately to report to your master Liu Xing. Tell him to prepare 1000 taels of silver before dawn tomorrow and ask two people to take it with them. Come out of the west gate and hand it over to my people here."

"If more people come out than two, or if they don't come out before dawn, let your master wait to collect the bodies."

The thug took the jade pendant, quickly got up, and ran towards the city gate tower without saying a word.

Seeing the thugs running away, Liu Qi also quickly led everyone to continue walking westward for almost ten miles before finding a forest to hide.

When the moon climbed into the middle of the sky, Liu Xinqi saw Liu Xiao and another thug waking up one after another.Liu Xinqi drew his sword and walked towards Liu Xiao.

"Don't, don't, don't, hero, please say a word to me, no matter how much money you have, please don't kill me." Liu Xiao's plea for mercy was filled with tears.

"If I don't kill you now, we'll see if I will ransom you with money later." Liu Xinqi said, using a knife to cut off a handful of hair from Liu Xiao's head and handing it to another thug.

"Now take your young master's hair and go back to your master Liu Xing. Remember to prepare 1000 taels of silver before dawn tonight. Let two people take it with them. Come out of the west gate and hand it over to my people three miles outside the west gate." Liu Xinqi threatened again: "If more people come out than two, or if they don't come out before dawn, let your master wait to collect the body." "You must see my father and tell him to bring money to ransom me. I The cash in the pawn shop is enough, so just bring it over." Liu Xiao quickly warned the thug.

After Liu Xiao finished speaking, Liu Xinqi kicked the thug. The thug quickly got up and ran back towards Qingzhou Fucheng.

Liu Xinqi once again moved his people to hide.

Liu Xiao felt something was wrong when he heard that Liu Xinqi only wanted 1000 taels. He thought about it again during the transfer and finally figured it out.

"My hero, you are going through so much trouble because you want to divert your attention, and ultimately you want to save those thieves who sold the stolen goods." Liu Xiao tentatively asked Liu Xinqi: "I think by now, those people should have left the city. "

Liu Xinqi was very surprised when he heard this question.

"Uh, where did you see that?"

"You have such a small appetite. The pawn shop that robbed me had enough cash at the time to take 1000 taels of silver, but you didn't take it and went to all the trouble to rob me out of the city." Liu Xiao replied, "I want you to come." He must be trying to cover up something by going to war like this, and it’s very clear when you think about it.”

"Damn, it turns out that 1000 taels of silver is less." Liu Xinqi thought gloomily in his heart: "I really underestimated the wealth of being an official in this era."

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you to silence you if you are so explicit?" Liu Xinqi asked doubtfully.

"It's useless for you to kill me. You have already sent someone back to report the news. My father will definitely be confused when he hears that you want 1000 taels of silver, and then he will investigate. You only hurt people in the pawn shop tonight, but did not kill anyone. You left alive. Find If you ask casually in the past, you will be able to guess that you are related to the person I detained this morning." Liu Xiao explained: "And you only hurt people tonight but did not kill anyone. Obviously you don't want to make the matter a big deal, and you must have some concerns. , and judging from your accent, you should be a native of Shandong. My father is a fellow magistrate of Qingzhou Prefecture. If I search carefully, I will definitely be able to find out your roots, and your "concerns" will not be able to escape by then."

Hearing Liu Xiao's strong words, Liu Xinqi couldn't help but said: "Listen to what you said, there is nothing we can do against you? Do you believe that I can rob you out of the city and then go back into the city to kill your father?" Then let’s see who will take the trouble to avenge you.”

Liu Xiao was speechless by Liu Xinqi's retort. Facing fierce men like Liu Xinqi, he was really hard to guard against. Moreover, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, so how can you guard against a thief for a thousand days.

"It's not impossible. To put it bluntly, since you have shown me your strength, I also realize that I am invincible, so before I am sure that I can catch you all, I am definitely willing to have friendly relations with you." Liu Xiao No longer as tough as before, he gave in again and said: "This time, I was at fault first and offended all the fellow heroes. Since you have already set a price before, let's continue the transaction. I will treat you as 'Taishan Five Tigers', before dawn, you take the money and I'll go home. If we don't know each other without fighting, just treat it as friends, okay?"

"Didn't you analyze very well just now, saying that your father will definitely understand the actual situation, so he will come to trade?" Liu Xinqi asked
"Definitely. Before I figure out the situation, I will definitely take money to stabilize you. After all, I am his biological son. For a mere 1000 taels, it is not worth the risk. Believe me, as long as I am fine, this little money It’s nothing.” Liu Xiaoxin assured.

"Let's see first. If your father doesn't send someone to send money before dawn, I will have to find a way to send you both on your way." Liu Xinqi finally said after hearing Liu Xiao's assurance.
