The current leader of Qingfeng Mountain's Dazhai, Jia Nanlou, was originally a secret guard of Prince Xian. Prince Xian had been preparing for his rebellion for many years, and he deployed a large number of manpower in various places.
The terrain of Qingfeng Mountain is dangerous and it belongs to the "Three No Ones" zone, which is very suitable for hiding troops, so he sent his confidant Jia Nanlou to Qingfeng Mountain.
In order to complete the task, Jia Nanlou joined the bandits of Qingfeng Mountain, and designed to kill the original owner of the village and occupied Qingfeng Mountain. In recent years, he led the bandits down the mountain to rob the money of passing merchants, and abducted young people from the nearby mountains. Replenish troops.
A few months ago, someone conveyed the instructions of the Sixth Prince to him, ordering him to pay close attention to the exile team heading to the north. If he encounters the Gu family of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, he must rescue Song Wanru, Prince Xian's beloved daughter, at all costs.
The master's beloved daughter must be saved, even if she kills all the exiled people.
But the Sixth Prince said that in order to reduce the difficulty of rescuing people, he would only save Song Wanru and not the Gu family. He believed that he was very powerful in martial arts, and there was nothing to fear from the guards. Only Gu Jingchao and Gu Jingzhi were the most powerful generals in the army, and the other was the number one martial artist. Their strength was definitely not weak. How could he be allowed to kidnap Song Wanru like this?
He had been sending his men to keep an eye on the official road, and finally found out that the Gu family's exile team had arrived and stayed at Qingfeng Mountain.
The second master suggested: "Brother, don't worry. No matter how brave the Gu family is, there are only two people to fear. Let's take most of the people on the mountain and have a wheel battle with them. We will tire them out and trip them up. We are not afraid of you." The task cannot be completed.”
Jia Nanlou thought it right, so he summoned a thousand men and horses to kill them down the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, he saw Gu Ye and others with strong troops. He did not dare to provoke them and found a small road to bypass them. Unexpectedly, he had already noticed it before he got close to Gu Ye. The reason why he let them go was because he knew that Gu Nian was there. The men and horses were secretly protecting the carriage, not worrying about their master's safety at all. They only followed orders to keep an eye on the carriage's belongings.
The bandits sneaked up to the mountain, grabbed a free agent, and found out the caves where the prisoners were. They surrounded each cave. Of course, the Gu family had the largest number of troops, so they lit torches and shouted loudly.
Gu Jingchao walked out excitedly, going out to meet the bandits. Gu Jingzhi said to Gu Huairu: "Third uncle, when I go out, please sit in the cave. It's up to you to protect their safety!"
Gu Huairu could only nod in agreement and watched his nephews walk out of the cave happily.
Gu Jingchao from the Black Iron Tower spoke out before he could speak, "What kind of bastard wants to twist someone's head?"
The unlucky guy Jie Chao caught by Jia Nanlou was none other than Yang Laoqi. His neck had just healed. When he heard Gu Jingchao's words, his neck couldn't help but tremble and he shrank back.
Gu Jingchao had a reputation as a giant. As soon as Jian Nanlou saw his height, he knew his identity. He cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Gu family, Jian Nanlou is polite here." Then he said to the handsome and resolute young man behind him: "Second Master Gu, you are polite. Nanlou is only here to ask for money, not human life. Please rest assured!"
If Gu Nian's people hadn't come to report that the Qingfeng Mountain bandits wanted to rob Song Wanru, I'm afraid Gu Jingzhi would have believed it. He smiled and said: "Master Jia Zhai, we are just prisoners assigned to us and cannot control much. Lord Ji Kuo is in charge, you don't care. Whether you want money or a life, please explain it to him!"
Ji Kuo stepped out from the crowd, clasped his fists and said: "Master Jia Zhai, I, Ji Kuo, escorted the criminals here. If there is anything wrong, I hope Haihan will give you a hundred taels of silver to treat all brothers to a drink as an apology."
There are torches everywhere and bandits all over the mountains and plains. People have to bow their heads under the low wall. Ji Kuo plans to lose money and avoid disaster.
The bandits laughed loudly, and the second master laughed and said: "It's just a hundred taels, I just want to throw it away. Are you dreaming?"
After a blind robbery, one hundred taels of silver was of course not enough. Ji Kuo had already expected this, so he respectfully raised his hands and asked, "How many taels of silver are enough?"
No amount is enough! What they want is Song Wanru. Here they are just delaying time and attracting everyone's attention. The second master laughed and said, "We have to work two thousand brothers today to visit you and so on. Each of us will have to pay ten taels of silver for our hard work." Let's go! Twenty thousand taels of silver, no two prices!" He falsely reported more than a thousand people. Anyway, he would not check the difference one by one. He reported more, hoping to scare the Gu Jingchao brothers.
"What? Twenty thousand taels?" Ji Kuo was shocked. It wouldn't be that much even if he sold it to him! He asked: "It must be twenty thousand taels?"
"Must!" the second-in-command replied.
Ji Kuo said again: "Master Jia Dazhai, we have been appointed by the imperial court to escort prisoners to the north. We have nothing to offer. If it is three hundred and five hundred taels, I can make the decision. No matter how much more it is, there will be nothing!"
Jia Nanlou said viciously: "If you don't have money, just stay alive!"
Ji Kuo asked him again, "Master of Dazhai, are you really unable to be accommodating?"
The Qingfeng Mountain bandits replied in unison: "You can't be accommodating. You don't have the money to survive! If you dare to say no, your head will be ripped off!"
At this point, Ji Kuo was completely at a loss and shouted loudly: "All brothers, prepare to guard the entrance of the cave!" No longer begging the bandits, he bowed deeply to Gu Jingzhi's brothers and said, "Please!" Gu Jingzhi said with a smile: "Okay, Protect the prisoners!" He waved his hand in the direction of the bandits.
Gu Jingchao was impatient for a long time. As soon as his second brother made a sign to start fighting, he rushed over happily, shouting, "Kill! Cai Lian, kill! Jing Xin, kill!"
