"Da da da."
Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Zhang Ningding walked into the door with his head held high, his expression very calm.
"Clan leader." After meeting Zhang Youwei, Zhang Ningding showed a little humility and bowed.
"You did a good job." Zhang Youwei snorted coldly.
There were more people in the Zhang family, and Zhang Ningding was usually smart and capable, but he didn't expect to poke such a big hole quietly.
"It was my negligence that caused Qiongshan to suffer such a misfortune. I am really ashamed of the clan leader." Zhang Ningding bent down again and said sincerely.
Who would have thought that a small flag could be so bold?
"What should we do now?" Zhang Youwei stood up, stood still with his hands behind his hands, looked at Zhang Ningding, and asked in a deep voice.
"It depends on what the clan leader wants to do with Wu Nian." Zhang Ningding held his head high, with a look of pride on his face.
"I want him to die." Zhang Youwei's face became more and more gloomy, his words were like ice under ten thousand feet, and his breath was cold and still.
"Then please ask the clan leader to give me manpower. I will take the dozen or so people in the cell and two thousand taels of silver to Yegushan. After the exchange returns to Qiongshan, I will kill them."
Zhang Ningding said lightly.
His expression and tone were as easy as strangling an ant. This is based on absolute confidence in absolute strength.
The reason why Ban Bian Zhang is called Ban Bian Zhang is not just because of his influence in the officialdom.
How many people are there to help Ban Bian Zhang in Jiang County and even in Liaodong as a whole?
There are thousands of domestic slaves alone.
Not to mention the gangs, boxers, escort agencies, and even thieves in the world.
In terms of force, it would be easy for Ban Bianzhang to kill a small flag.
"Okay. I allow you to mobilize all the force in Jiang County. You go and kill this man named Wu Nian and bring him to the meeting. But one thing is, you must ensure the safety of Qiongshan. You cannot let him lose one. Chill."
Zhang Youwei nodded and opened his eyes with murderous intent.
"Yes." Zhang Ning responded calmly. Then he turned to the county magistrate Bao Wei and said, "Your Majesty, please release Li Sheng and others from the cell."
"Okay." Bao Wei nodded and agreed.
About a quarter of an hour passed.
Everything Zhang Ning needs is ready.
Li Sheng and a dozen other people, two thousand taels of silver, and 800 troops drawn from various places.
These people come from all kinds of sources, including Ban Bian Zhang's private soldiers, boxers and swordsmen who look after homes and courtyards, etc.
In a room.
Zhang Ningding sat on a small bench facing south. He was wearing a piece of armor, no helmet, and a saber hanging from his left waist.
Although he was not a military commander, he had gained a great reputation by licking blood from his sword when he traveled around the world in his early years. At this moment, he is sitting with his sword in hand, looking majestic.
There were four people underneath, all men wearing armor and carrying swords.
Hiding armor secretly in Chu State is a capital crime, but Ban Bian Zhang has five pairs of armor here, and he doesn't know how many he has secretly. It's really terrifying to the extreme.
Among the five people, there was a black and white landscape map, which was the topographic map of the Yegu Mountain area.
Zhang Ningding picked up a small wooden stick, pointed it at Yegushan Mountain, and said: "Yegushan Mountain is not an easy place to defend and difficult to attack. But it is connected in all directions and is an easy place to escape. Wu Nian set up the exchange location Here, it’s pretty smart.”
Having said this, Zhang Ningding had a sneer on his face, his eyes full of contempt. Said: "It's just that in the face of absolute strength, this little cleverness is not worth mentioning."
"How many people can a small flag have? I have 800 people and can guard all the important mountain passes."
Zhang Ningding raised his head, glanced at the four people, and said: "Wang Wei. You lead one hundred and eighty people and ambush to the west."
"Chen Ding, you lead one hundred and eighty men and ambush in the south."
"Zhang Kuang. You lead one hundred and eighty people and wait in the north."
"Li You, you lead one hundred and eighty men and ambush in the east."
"The remaining eighty people, follow me and contact Wu Nian head-on."
"Don't hold back when fighting, not chickens or dogs."
Zhang Ningding's eyes flashed with cold light and his voice was sonorous.
"yes."
The four people present clasped their fists together and responded.
On Zhang's side, eight hundred troops dispersed according to Zhang Ningding's arrangement. Zhang Ningding himself rode on horseback, taking eighty soldiers, Li Sheng and other prisoners, and two thousand taels, and slowly headed south towards Yegu Mountain.
A big net, like a dragnet, shrouded the direction of Yegu Mountain.
Wu Nian and his party seemed to be catching turtles in a urn, just waiting to become the fisherman's meal.
Ye Gushan.
This is a relatively short hill with lush vegetation. Mountain roads extend in all directions around the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, there is a wide, dry cave.
At this moment, Wu Nian's general is leaving.
Wu Nian sat on a small stool, holding the handle of the knife at his waist with his left hand. He has a majestic face, a burly figure, and a murderous look on his brows. He is really a strong man.
Tieniu and Li Yong stood behind Wu Nian with their swords on the left and right, adding to his momentum.
Long Qie and Zhang Jin sat in front of him on the left and right sides respectively.
Zhang Qiongshan was tied up, with a smelly sock stuffed in his mouth, and he lay groaning in the corner.
Wang Ruyan sat in the corner and watched the scene calmly. Xiao Hong was trembling, very scared.
The crowd seemed to be like sculptures, motionless.
It wasn't until Chen Jiagui, the flying monkey, hurriedly walked in from outside that everyone's expressions changed.
"Brother Chen. How is it?" Wu Nian raised his head and asked.
"As Master Wu expected, half of Zhang's forces came out in full force. Their troops were divided into five teams, four of which went to ambush on the mountain roads in all directions."
"Once we exchange Zhang Qiongshan, it will be the next dumpling."
Chen Jiagui gasped and reported to Wu Nian.
In fact, Zhang Ningding's people also made a disguise. They dressed up in disguise and dispersed from various city gates, and then gathered again.
But gathering information is what the Sky Monkey is good at.
Moreover, Wu Nian had anticipated this situation a long time ago. Under his fierce eyes and half-hearted actions, there was naturally nothing to hide.
"It's over, it's over. Miss. We are surrounded." Xiao Hong was listening clearly, her face turned as white as a ghost with fright, her little hands tightly grasped Wang Ruyan's shoulder, trembling.
"Don't be afraid. Master Wu must have a plan." Wang Ruyan reached out and held Xiaohong's hands, comforting her.
In fact, Wang Ruyan was unsure.
Ban Bian Zhang's power is so powerful that he can kill Wu Nian and others with just one attack.
This Lord Wu, my benefactor, really overestimates his abilities.
"But I won't run away." Wang Ruyan took a deep breath, his eyes full of determination.
"Hahaha."
After listening to Chen Jiagui's words, Wu Nian burst into laughter. The laughter was sharp and full of energy. The sound shook the cave and was majestic.
