Seeing that Song Xin actually took the initiative to stand up, Yang Xi, Zhong Yu, and Linghu Hua were still surprised by his courage and responsibility, and they admired him even more. Even Linghu Hua, who was originally hostile, looked at him differently.
Song Xin turned to Yang Xi and said, "Brother Yang, let's go. This matter is beyond your control."
"But!" Yang Di was speechless for a moment. He wanted to help but was outnumbered. At this time, Zhang Xiuyang said softly from behind: "Brother Song has a way to escape. This place is not good for you. Get away for now."
"Wait!" Feng Hu raised his hand, "I can let you go, but keep the money on you."
"Yes! Leave the money!"
"If you don't leave any money, then die with him!"
The bandits who besieged them shouted loudly. They were already salivating at the sight of these young men wearing golden clothes and swords.
Yang Di also knew that a good man would not suffer the consequences before him, so he gritted his teeth and nodded, "Give them all the money you have and let's go!"
With livid faces, the young men reluctantly took out their money, jade pendants, and swords, and threw them on the ground with a clanking sound. The gangsters looked at these treasures, their eyes were shining, and they couldn't help but pounce on them to snatch them.
Feng Hu shouted: "What are you grabbing! Go back and let the big brother distribute it! Whoever dares to hide one for me, I will cut off his balls!"
The bandits collected the money on the ground and tied it into a big bag. Before leaving, they turned to Yang Di and others and sneered, "Thank you young masters for the reward. Hahaha!"
Seeing them put Song Xin on the horse and ride away, Yang Di was so angry that his teeth almost broke. "Go back and gather all the guards for me. I'm going to attack their fortress!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, "A copycat!?"
Zhong Yu said quickly: "Brother, did I hear you right? That is the Baibo bandit's fortress. We can't defeat it without three to five thousand people. Let's think of a way, even if we collect some money to redeem people."
At this time, Linghu Hua also said quickly: "Yes, Mr. Yang, please don't be impulsive."
Yang Di slapped his thigh hard, feeling like he was holding back the breath in his chest, "Evil thief, I, Yang Di, will kill you to vent my anger."
Zhong Yu and Linghu Hua looked at each other. At this time, they saw that they no longer cared about the previous disagreements, and they were all focused on trying to persuade Yang Xi not to act impulsively and do stupid things.
Zhang Xiuyang said: "I advise you not to die."
"When you saw Song Xin being taken away, not only did you not come out to stop him, but you still made sarcastic remarks here!" Yang Di was furious and shouted at Zhang Xiuyang.
Zhang Xiuyang was not angry, "Young Master Yang, I persuade you with good intentions, but you don't appreciate it, so I didn't say anything."
Zhong Yu hurriedly came out and said: "Brother Yang, what Brother Zhang said makes sense. We are single and weak, and we are no match for those desperadoes. Let's go back quickly. If we can convince the government to send troops, we can rescue Brother Song."
Linghu Hua also nodded quickly, "Yes, Brother Zhong is right."
Yang Xi nodded in agreement with a stern face, and glared at Zhang Xiuyang, "I think you are quite capable, and I wanted to make friends with you. But I didn't expect that you are a villain who doesn't care about your friends."
After saying that, he turned around and left, got on his horse and rode away. When the young masters saw Yang Xi leaving, they looked at Zhang Xiuyang with different expressions and left one after another. In the end, only Zhong Yu bowed her hand to him.
Watching them leave, Zhang Xiuyang shook his head with a wry smile and turned to follow the bandits.
Yang Xi and others galloped back to Piyong and reported the incident to Piyong's prime minister Zhang Zhao.
When the latter heard that someone had kidnapped Piyong's men, he also
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I felt panicked. But when he heard that Song Xin was kidnapped, a look of disapproval suddenly appeared on his face.
"Young Master Yang, I thought it was something big. It was just a lost slave. Don't worry about him. If the family members come to make trouble, just give them some money."
Yang Xi's expression changed, "Master Zhang, he is Young Master Chong's attendant, why don't you care?"
The deputy prime minister next to Zhang Zhao said: "Master Yang, Song Xin is just a servant. Piyong is so busy with things, how can Lord Zhang leave the affairs here because of him? Moreover, those bandits are all from the Baibo Army and Han Dynasty. The remnant party in Siam is quite difficult for even the army to deal with. If there is another injury, how will Lord Zhang explain it to the Holy Emperor and the Prime Minister?"
Naturally, Yang Di understood that this was the deputy prime minister's opportunity to retaliate, "Huh, I'll find a way myself! I don't believe there's no one here yet!"
"Yangqi! Come back here!" Zhang Zhao slammed the table and shouted angrily.
"Master Zhang, what else can you do?"
"Any young master here who is not from a prominent family and has a noble status, how can he take risks for a commoner? I will restrict you from taking a step out of Piyong for the next three days. Otherwise, I will write down your comment. !”
The deputy prime minister then advised: "Young Master Yang, if the comment is recorded, then if you want to have a good future in the future..."
Yang Di was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "Master Zhang! You..."
"Okay, Piyong's quarterly review is coming soon, go and review your lessons! Your father once wrote a letter asking you not to be playful." Zhang Zhao said with a serious face.
Zhong Yu and others were afraid that Yang Xi would lose his temper and cause trouble, so they hurriedly advised: "Sir Zhang, Brother Yang is also eager to save people. I hope you won't take offense if your words offend him."
Zhang Zhao nodded, "It's good to know. Remember your identities and don't put yourself in danger for a cheap slave."
Zhong Yu nodded repeatedly and dragged the angry Yang Di away from Zhang Zhao's residence.
Zhang Zhao and the deputy prime minister sneered as they watched them leave. They have been here for many years and know how powerful the thieves Feng Bao and Feng Hu are. Song Xin offending them is nothing more than seeking death. In addition, the deputy prime minister exaggerated the conflict with Song Xin a few days ago to Zhang Zhao, and they were even less likely to rescue people.
"Brother Yang, let's go find Mr. Cao. He must have a solution!" Linghu Hua immediately thought of Cao Chong.
"Okay, let's go together!" Yang Xi nodded, and they hurried to Cao Chong's residence. Zhou Wenzhi happened to be there, and after asking, he found out that Cao Chong was attending classes at the top of the mountain and had not returned.
Yang Xi told the story about Song Xin being taken away by the bandits. Zhou Wenzhi looked concerned and surprised, pretending to go to get a sword to save people. When Yang Xi and others saw that Zhou Wenzhi was also a loyal person, they thought highly of him, and Zhong Yu quickly persuaded him.
Zhou Wenzhi put down his sword and said with a look of regret: "On impulse, I made a few people laugh. Mr. Zhang is also worried about your casualties. We people have never been on the battlefield and don't know the dangers of swords. Otherwise, wait for the young master to come back and let him How about persuading the Prime Minister and sending troops together to rescue Song Xin?"
When Yang Di heard this, he nodded repeatedly, "Brother Wenzhi, this is a safe method, so let's do it this way."
After the three of them left, Zhou Wenzhi put away his concerned expression and took out a jade slip with a sneer, "Someone told me that Song Xin was captured by bandits."
After a while, Wen Xian's contemptuous laughter came from the jade slip: "What a good thing, just let those cheap bandits kill him. Save me the trouble of doing it myself."
Zhou Wenzhi also smiled, "Although that boy is very skilled, I don't believe he can deal with a group of bandits. But Cao Chong will know about it soon."
"Master Zhou, I plan to hide it
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
? "
"No, I have to tell Cao Chong in person. But by the time they mobilize their troops, Song Xin may be dead."
After a while, Wen Xian chuckled and said, "Young Master Zhou is really very intelligent. I'll do it right away. By the way, Young Master Zhou, I received news today that the great protector I taught has arrived."
"Great Protector?" Zhou Wenzhi was stunned, "When did he come?"
Wen Xian chuckled: "This great protector arrived more than ten days ago, but his identity is mysterious and has not been made public. At this time, he still has some private matters to deal with. Wen will definitely introduce him to Mr. Zhou when the time comes."
"Okay, I got what I asked for." Zhou Wen smiled straight away. There are three protectors in the Three Saints Sect. Among them, Guo Xiu is a monster. The great protector is the most mysterious, and only a few high-level officials know his identity. As he said this, there was a sound on the door outside, and Cao Chong came back.
Zhou Wenzhi quickly put away the jade slips. Seeing his panic, Cao Chong asked, "Wenzhi, is something wrong?"
Zhou Wenzhi said: "I heard Mr. Yang say that Brother Song is in danger. How can I just stand by and watch? I am about to gather my servants to protect him and go to save people."
Cao Chong looked at him and nodded with satisfaction, "The bandits are so ferocious that a few servants can't deal with them."
"But if you want to mobilize troops, you must have a warrant from the prime minister's office." Zhou Wen looked confused.
But Cao Chong didn't look anxious and said, "I'll write a letter, so you don't have to worry about this." After a while, Cao Chong wrote the letter and sent someone to send it to Xudu. Zhou Wen wanted to see who he was sending the letter to, but he couldn't see it, so he found an excuse to go out.
Cao Chong called the two maidservants around him and asked, "What's going on with Song Xin? Is he in danger?"
These two maids were Song Liu and Song Shishi who were secretly protecting him.
"Don't worry, sir, even these bandits can't escape."
.......
Yang Xi and others hurried to the foot of the mountain, preparing to ride to Xudu to report the news, but they were stopped by a team leader, who said that Zhang Zhao had ordered that they be grounded and no one was allowed to leave Piyong.
Yang Xi felt aggrieved, but had no choice but to do anything. This Zhang Zhao made it clear that he would not save him until he died. He also prevented others from going to rescue him. I don’t know why Song Xin offended him.
At this time, a hurried messenger passed by. Linghu Hua had an idea and grabbed him and asked, "Where are you going!?"
The messenger was startled, and when he saw a man who looked like a young master, he saluted and said, "On the order of Mr. Chong, I am going to Xudu to deliver a message."
Linghuhua was so happy that he quickly borrowed pen and paper to write a short message and stuffed it into the messenger: "If you can see Guo Yi at the Prime Minister's Mansion, give this letter to him. I am Linghuhua, his eldest brother. sworn brother."
The messenger looked puzzled, accepted the letter, and rode away.
A rapid sound of horse hooves stopped in front of Prime Minister Xu Du's Mansion. The messenger walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion with the letter and handed it to the doorman. The latter took it out and saw that one letter was from Cao Chong, and the other was from Linghu Hua, but the recipient of both letters was Guo Yi!
Naturally, the doorman did not dare to neglect, so he quickly came to Guo Yi and handed over the letter.
Guo Yizheng wondered why Linghu Hua and Cao Chong would both write letters to him. When he opened them, he found that the two letters contained the same content: Song Xin was kidnapped by bandits.
"Song Xin? How could it be possible?" Guo Yi wondered for a while. He knew Song Xin's abilities, so how could he let the bandits capture him. Then after he read Cao Chong's letter carefully, he understood immediately and said with a smile of approval: "Young master is so thoughtful. Come here, help me prepare a car to go to the residence of the Yueqi Colonel Lieutenant!"
