C9 Hijacked
Just as Xiao Letian was talking to Shi Dakai, the atmosphere in Mountain Temple had tensed up to the point that it was about to break. From morning till night, people were anxiously waiting for news from the foot of the mountain.
Qing San Ye was lying on the short wall as he stared at the movement at the bottom of the hill. The sand beside him was full of arrows. As long as he saw any signs of bandit attacking, his arrows would definitely not show mercy.
Manager Fan brought daughter and maidservant to heat up the water to help bandage and change the medicine for the wounded. tiger chick's face was red from being too busy. From time to time, she would look outside the wall, hoping that the handsome white face would come back with a miracle.
"Dad, do you think Big Brother Xiao will be safe?"
"Don't talk nonsense, call for Mr. Xiao... It must be safe, Mr. Xiao is a genius and a heart of Bodhisattva, how can such people be in danger with the help of a hundred spirits? " The old man didn't know how to comfort Daughter, so he could only use this mysterious thing as an excuse.
It was just past noon when Sai Men, who was standing on the white rock in front of the temple, suddenly shouted, "There's someone here, bandit is approaching!" Immediately after, Qing San Ye, underhand's Sentinel also shouted, "There's bandit, he came alone, seems to be here to deliver a letter to us."
A bandit suddenly appeared on the gentle slope. He stopped fifty steps away from the temple door and shouted, "People in the temple listen to me. Good luck, Mr. Xiao is willing to exchange his life for your safety …" "This is Mr. Xiao's letter. Keep it, we won't be polite with the silver at the foot of the mountain …" With that said, he nocked the arrow on the bow and a feather arrow with a letter tied to it nailed itself onto the mountain gate.
Qing San Ye rushed over and read the letter ten lines at a time. After reading it, he slapped his thigh. "I'm sorry, Brother Xiao …" He used his own life in exchange for the safety of all of us … " With that said, he covered his face and leaned on the door of the temple, passing the letter to Manager Fan.
Qing San Ye was really something out of the ordinary in Flag Man. In his eyes, there weren't that many Han people. As long as you were A good man, no matter what Ethnic Group was, he would admire you. In the free-for-all last night, he even found Liu Yisi, the foreigner, a lot more pleasing to the eye, let alone the official Xiao Letian.
Just as Wu Tie was reading half of the letter, he couldn't help but burst into tears. "Mr. Xiao …" Mr. Xiao was kidnapped by bandit, he is using his life in exchange for our safety … "We owe you a favor that we'll never be able to repay for the rest of our lives …"
crowd went into an uproar, the elderly with tears in their eyes beseeching the gods and buddhas to bless them. The young man with a bad temper jumped up at that moment and shouted about snatching Wu Tie back, especially the 10 Musketeers who were showing off last night.
"Come back, you bunch of evil beings. Are the ten of you going to die? Mr. Xiao was a hostage in Mr. Xiaoson's hands. Are you trying to kill mister? " Manager Fan was so angry that he kicked the ten Buddy several times before stopping the impulsive young man.
In just one night, these ten young men who had made great contributions already treated Xiao Letian as their own Zhou Tie. Their respect towards him was truly from the bottom of their hearts. The ancients had their own cleverness, the might of the ten-man flame gun team last night had already been seen by Manager Fan, Qing San Ye and other people like Sun Biao.
It could be seen that in the future, in Fan family, these ten Buddy would definitely be the core of the guards. Each of them would even bring along a group of Disciple.
The ancients were deeply affected by the Confucian's thoughts, they were truly grateful towards Xiao Letian and wished that they could do it themselves.
The Mountain Temple was filled with grief. At the corner of the main hall, tiger chick grabbed Xiao Letian's Flying Tiger leather clothes and cried to the point of tears.
Even the large nose's foreigner, Liu Yisi, mournfully prayed, "God, Xiao is my first believer in the development of the China, please bless him …"
No matter how sad everyone was, they all knew very well that these dozens of people could never be saved by Mr. Xiao. Furthermore, no one knew where bandit's village was, and their priority right now was to get to Yi County and leave this dangerous forest.
The moment they left the Mountain Temple, Qing San Ye looked at the continuous mountain range and swore secretly in his heart, "Xiao brother, you have to bear with it. When I return, I will definitely go up and ask for reinforcements to eliminate this damn wave of bandit. Wait for me to save you …"
Manager Fan was also secretly comforting Daughter. "daughter, don't worry. Father will raise the money when we get back and find Green Forest Friends to help tie the knot. Even if we have to exchange the mountains of gold and silver, I will redeem Mr. Xiao …"
As for Liu Yisi, who was praying to God, he thought to himself, "What exactly is the divine enlightenment that Xiao wants to tell me about? How many secrets did he have on him? Once I leave the mountain, I must not separate from Chinese, and this Xiao must become the focus of attention for the Intelligence … "
When Caravan sped up and left the forest to go to Yi County, Xiao Letian had already been kidnapped to Shi Dakai's base, Taibai Top in the mountains.
Climbing up, climbing down, turning left and right, many places still needed people to dismount and walk. There were even some roads hidden in the dense forest, and without the help of those familiar with the roads, it was impossible to find them.
Xiao Letian had been lost for a long time. He could only feel that these Taiping Army were carrying him westward towards a place with denser mountain peaks. When Xiao Letian saw the sunset glow on the horizon, they finally arrived.
"Damn, isn't this the Thunder Bluff?" Tauren main city? " Xiao Letian walked around a bush and suddenly saw a bright light in front of him. Below his feet was a cliff that was dozens of meters deep. A suspension bridge came into view. Opposite the suspension bridge was a mountain that seemed to have its head chopped off.
There was no mistake, in the distance, there were five lonely mountains that had their heads chopped off. The largest mountain peak was around the size of three or four basketball courts, and the smallest one had three rows of wooden houses beside it.
"This place is called the Taibai Top. Legend has it that Taibai Jinxing stayed too long during the night, and when he couldn't find a clean base of operations, he used his mana to flatten five mountain peaks. The mountains are encircled here, and the five roofs are connected by a chain bridge. It's easy to defend but hard to attack, and this is the place Old Heaven gave us to hide! "
Xiao Letian turned around to find Shi Dakai standing behind him with a faint smile on his face. However, Xiao Letian's anger still hadn't died down. He only cupped his hands and bowed to him before stepping onto the chain bridge. He walked in first.
It wasn't that Xiao Letian didn't know how to be polite, it wasn't that he didn't like this beautiful scenery, but Xiao Letian had actually thought it through along the way. Humans were like their names, Xiao Letian was a very open-minded person. However, he was well versed in the way of negotiations. In the current situation, he could get more resources by being a bit more cautious.
That night, in order to show his unyielding spirit, Xiao Letian did not participate in the Taibai Top's celebratory feast. He only set up a simple table in his hut. The dishes weren't that exquisite; they were just big fish and big meat. The wine was also the most common way to cook knife. However, this was already the most sumptuous meal Xiao Letian had ever eaten since he transmigrated.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Xiao Letian laid on the bed and slept for a while. Who cares if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing, he needed to properly replenish his energy after two days of hard work.
He slept until the sun rose. When Xiao Letian opened his eyes, he found that the delicate early and the warm water that washed his face in his room had been prepared. Xiao Letian was amused at that time, "Forget it, I'm being raised like a pig. It will be the New Year in two months. Will I be killed and eaten by then?"
Xiao Letian shook his head as if he was laughing at himself. At last, he was officially starting his life in bandit's nest.
In the past three days, Xiao Letian had kept his face straight for three whole days, but this group of bandit treated him with great respect. In the next three days, Xiao Letian kept his face straight for three days, but this group of bandit kept his respect for him.
On the evening of the fourth day, Shi Dakai finally came to visit. By then, Xiao Letian knew that his status was almost up. If he were to continue acting this way, it would no longer be the way of negotiation.
"Did Prince really think that I have some kind of peerless power by forcefully kidnapping me into the mountains? Do you really think I can change this world? To tell you the truth, the Manchu is not that easy to overthrow. "It's better if you don't think about it …"
Shi Dakai did not say anything and just bowed deeply, "mister always said that he was Alone overseas, and his tone was full of anger towards the Manchu. I think mister can't possibly have thrown himself into the Imperial Examinations to get a job, right?"
"You said that our path has already been taken. Of course I admit it, but from a different perspective, don't look at how Manchu has just won. Ceng Guofan and Beijing's auras are like a rainbow in the sky …" Shi Dakai shook his head, "I think they do not have much road ahead of them. How long can a court who relies on selling this country to persevere on?"
A talent? As expected of a high-level intellectual, everyone said that Shi Dakai was the most discerning person in the kingdom of heaven, Prince. Xiao Letian rubbed his nose. This was his already lit performance in his heart. He suddenly asked Shi Dakai.
"Prince..." I just want to ask you, do you want to be Kaiser? " Shi Dakai was stunned for a moment before bitterly smiling and said, "Last year, I faked my identity at the Dadu River and already saw through everything. mister said that I have taken the road to the past, what I want to do now is to take the new way of opening my eyes and looking at the world that mister said …"
"Alright!" Xiao Letian patted the Table and stood up. "Good, good, good. Since you've made mental preparations to fail, then it's better …"
Shi Dakai grabbed Xiao Letian's hand and said excitedly, "What brilliant plan does mister have?" "How much money do you need? Although my Heavenly Kingdom has lost, the prestige of the Heavenly Kingdom is still there. As long as Liu Tie asks for 100,000 army s, I will easily assemble them for you …"
Ah? Xiao Letian didn't get choked to death by Shi Dakai's words. "You, you, you …" How many soldiers are you hiding? Xiao Letian immediately opened his mouth and spoke of the one hundred thousand army s. He stared at Shi Dakai with a slightly dazed expression.
Shi Dakai felt a little embarrassed under Xiao Letian's gaze. He thought Military Advisor was doubting his words. "Actually …" Actually, 100,000 was a bit of an exaggeration. After all, the Heavenly Kingdom's expedition often involved people … "However, as long as I have time, with my Wing King's prestige, I will definitely be able to gather 30,000 elite soldiers …"
Xiao Letian looked at Shi Dakai, who had a resolute expression, and swallowed his saliva, thinking to himself, "Don't you want to follow the old path?" You sure are raising the flag to rebel!
"Prince, calm and collected …" "The new path I'm talking about didn't start from raising the flag. I'm going to write a book, a book that everyone in the world will be able to understand …"
"Books! Writing a book? " Shi Dakai's hand trembled and almost broke the bone in Xiao Letian's hand.
"Aiyo, Prince, you broke my hand. I can't write anything …" Xiao Letian's great undertaking to reform the China began with Tongzhi's miserable scream in October of 2003.
