The young swordsman retracted his sword. Chen Zhitai let out a long breath and raised his sleeves to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. Just as he was about to get up, the swordsman said coldly: "Who told you to get up?"

"We are friends, big brother, you...!" Chen Zhitai forced a smile, but before he could finish speaking, the young man had already said: "Whether we are friends or not depends on whether you are sincere or not. Now I call you a friend.

It’s too early.”

Chen Zhitai immediately said: "Integrity and integrity, that is sincerity and cannot be more sincere."

The young man looked towards the side of the convoy and saw that the fighting there had ended.

Chen Zhitai's group was originally a mob. Several people were killed, and seeing that each of these swordsmen was more fierce than the last, they naturally lost their fighting spirit. They dropped their weapons and knelt down on the ground obediently to beg for surrender. Several of them

The bolder one tried to escape, but was caught up in an instant.

Except for a few people who were killed, all the bandits including Chen Zhitai were captured, and no one was leaked.

"Brother Wang, you are still quick." A man strode over and said with a smile: "Look, this guy must be their leader. If you capture him, you will be credited first."

The young man was naturally Qin Xiao, and he said to the man who came over: "Master, this guy is quite aware of current affairs."

The eldest son Yu Wencheng came forward with a knife in his hand, looked at the third master Chen Zhitai who was kneeling on the ground, and asked: "Did you lead them to rob food?"

Chen Zhitai said hurriedly: "No, no, I...I am not the leader, I...we don't have a leader, everything is done through discussion." He thought to himself, if he admits that he is the leader, what will happen?

His head was chopped off with a knife.

When officers and soldiers suppress bandits, they usually treat ordinary gangsters leniently, but bandit leaders will definitely be punished severely.

"It turns out he's not the leader." Yuwen Chengchao said in disappointment: "In that case, it shouldn't be of any use. Brother Wang, just chop him off with one knife."

Qin Xiao agreed and raised the knife in his hand. Chen Zhitai immediately changed his words and said: "I confess, I confess. I am their third boss. My name is Chen Zhitai. I am very famous. I am a very important person in the mountains..."

, you caught me, you really caught the right person, I know a lot, I know exactly what you want to know."

"Oh?" Yuwen Chengchao looked at Chen Zhitai a few times, his face still stern.

"The eldest son, he claims to be the third master of the family, but I don't think so." Qin Xiao immediately said: "Maybe he is afraid of death, so he puts himself in a position of self-importance."

"Absolutely not." Chen Zhitai resolutely turned around and pointed at the group of captured minions and said: "You two can ask them, they can testify for me. What's more, Chen is a well-known man and will never be afraid of greed.

You have wronged me by pretending to be someone else."

Yuwen Chengchao sneered and said, "Well, let me ask you, where are you from? Who is your boss?"

Chen Zhitai hesitated for a moment and then said: "You two, can we...can we negotiate a condition?"

Qin Xiao gestured and waved his sword: "You still want to negotiate terms with us now?"

"Don't dare." Chen Zhitai said with a bitter face: "I...I just want to ask you two for something. If I can confess honestly, can you...can you let us go?

We didn’t kill innocent people indiscriminately, and even if we robbed, we didn’t injure anyone’s life, not to mention...not to mention we didn’t rob a few times.”

"Whether I want to spare you or not depends on your attitude and whether your subordinates are willing to cooperate." Yuwen Cheng said, "Answer my question first."

Chen Zhitai then said: "Our leader is Ding Zixiu. People call him a burst of wind. He is a very famous person...!" Suddenly he realized that he shouldn't have said this, and immediately said: "But in my eyes

Here, he is nothing. In fact... Actually, I was forced to go up the mountain by him. I used to be a good and innocent person."

"Where is he now?" Of course the eldest son doesn't care whether he is a good person or not.

"Jigong Gorge." Chen Zhitai said without any hesitation, "He is hiding in Jigong Gorge. He said that the terrain of Jigong Gorge is dangerous and he is not afraid even if officers and soldiers encircle him."

Yuwen Chengchao still asked coldly: "Since you are the third head of the family, of course you know how many people are on the mountain."

Chen Zhitai nodded and said: "I know, I know, there are more than 200 brothers in the entire Jigong Gorge. Some are his old troops, but most of them were recruited by him in the past two years." He squeezed out a smile and said, "You two, can you please let me know?

I got up to talk. I have some minor problems with my legs. My muscles and bones are not good after kneeling for too long. I ask for your understanding."

Yu Wenchengchao and Qin Xiao looked at each other and hummed. Chen Zhitai, as if he had been granted amnesty, repeatedly raised his hands and stood up. Then he patted his chest and said: "I, Chen Zhitai, have the word "righteousness" on my head. You talk about loyalty, and I talk about loyalty even more. I want to

I know you can ask, but I will tell you what I know. Do you want to capture Ding Zixiu? Jigong Gorge is a steep mountain, easy to defend but difficult to attack. It will not be easy to attack."

"Master Chen, do you have a grudge against Ding Zixiu?" Qin Xiao couldn't help but ask.

Chen Zhitai immediately said: "What are you talking about? He and I are sworn brothers. Although we are not real brothers, we are better than flesh and blood...!" He suddenly thought of the officers and soldiers in front of him, and thought to himself why he was always guilty of talking more than his brains.

Quickly, he corrected himself and said: "I have a bit of a conflict with him."

"Of course Mr. Chen knows the terrain on the mountain very well?" Yuwen Chengchao asked.

Chen Zhitai nodded: "The boss has built a lot of fortifications on the mountain to prevent officers and soldiers from entering the mountain one day. I have been supervising the work for more than a year and I know the terrain of the mountain very well. Even if I close my eyes, I can draw a map of the mountain."

"Very good." Yu Wen Chengchao finally showed a smile: "You draw a picture and do one thing for us, and we will not only let you go, but we will also give you heavy rewards, so that you can enjoy wealth for the rest of your life.

, what do you think?"

Chen Zhitai blinked and asked: "What picture are you drawing? What are you doing?"

"[81 Chinese website www.x81zw.cn] You said yourself that you can draw the map of Jigong Gorge with your eyes closed." Yuwen Chengchao sheathed his sword and said, "Then could you please help us draw the map?"

Draw it. If you want to do anything, draw the map first and then talk about it."

Chen Zhitai said in surprise: "Are you really going to Jigong Gorge?" He looked over there and shook his head: "It's absolutely impossible. You don't have enough manpower. There are more than 20 people. It's impossible to defeat them. If they run over, they'll be meat buns."

If you beat a dog, you will never come back."

"You don't have to worry about this." Yuwen Chengchao looked up at the sky. The sky and the earth had completely darkened. Looking at the motorcade, he could only see the silhouettes of people. He said solemnly: "The unitary hour is about to pass. I am the most

I can only give you an hour to draw out the terrain and paths of the mountains in front and behind Jigong Gorge, especially the first checkpoints and sentries on the mountain, one by one. Let’s talk about it first, if you miss one, you will

I really can’t save my head.”

Cold sweat broke out on Chen Zhitai's forehead, and he said with a grimace: "You have to draw the map in an hour? Isn't this too hasty? Why don't you give me one night and let me think about it and draw it before dawn tomorrow?

.....!"

"No!" Yu Wen Chengchao didn't wait for Chen Zhitai to finish speaking, and said in a cold tone: "It's limited to one hour, not more than an hour." He said in a deep voice: "Follow me!"

Chen Zhitai was helpless. Qin Xiao escorted him behind and followed Yu Wencheng to the side of the motorcade.

The minions were already squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, and the swordsmen were guarding one by one. The civilians who had been scared by Chen Zhitai and fled in all directions had now returned. Yu Wencheng said to one of them: "Fat Fish, Dapeng, you guys."

The two leaders moved the car to the south. We are on the official road. Maybe there will be another convoy coming later, and it will not be good to be seen." He then ordered: "Zhao Yi, you take six or three people and the brothers who transport food.

Together we will escort these bandits back to the capital city overnight and hand them over directly to the Duhufu for disposal."

Everyone agreed. Although Zhao Yi felt that escorting the prisoners back to the city was not a good job, he would never dare to disobey the eldest son's orders.

"Take off all your clothes." Fat Fish pointed at the minions squatting on the ground and said, "Whoever takes off his clothes last will be chopped to death."

As soon as he said this, the minions reacted quickly and took off their clothes until only a pair of shorts remained.

Everyone was in a hurry, and it was really hard to determine who would be the last to take off their clothes.

Dapeng also asked people to take the ropes prepared in the car, and tied the hands of all the gangsters behind their backs. The bodies of the hacked gangsters were thrown directly into the car, and the black cloth was covered again.

Some of these vehicles were definitely filled with grain. Yuwen Chengchao asked Zhao Yi to drive more than a dozen grain trucks and escort the minions back to the city, leaving less than twenty taels.

The grain truck, led by Fat Fish and Dapeng, was quickly pulled away from the official road and directly behind the hillside where Chen Zhitai had previously ambushed. In this way, even if someone passed by on the official road, it would be impossible to discover what was happening behind the hillside.

Yuwen Chengchao asked someone to take the prepared pen and ink and put it on a wooden board. Chen Zhitai had no choice but to rack his brains and draw the map of Jigong Gorge.

Chen Zhitai was only worried that when the time came, he would not be able to complete the task, and the head on his neck would really not be able to be saved. He was completely devoted to the painting. After he finished drawing the processed terrain, Yuwen Chengchao took a closer look and saw that there would be a secret whistle above.

The outposts, camps, roads and trails are all drawn, which is Ding Zixiu's residence. They are also painted with great emphasis, which can be said to be a great effort.

"Master Chen, your painting skills are really good." Qin Xiao looked at the map and said with a smile: "Actually, you shouldn't be a bandit, you should be a painter. With your talent, you might become a master of painting.

.”

Chen Zhitai was a little proud and said: "I don't dare to take it seriously. In fact, what I am best at is killing pigs. I used to be a butcher."

"I can tell." Qin Xiao nodded and said, "By the way, you have to pick up those two axes. They are your trademarks and cannot be lost."

"There won't be any mistakes in the map, right?" Yu Wencheng looked at it carefully and asked, "If there are mistakes, your brain won't be saved."

Chen Zhitai hurriedly said: "No, there will never be any mistakes. I guarantee it with my personality."

When he said this, Yuwen Chengchao and Qin Xiao were a little worried. After all, Master Chen's personality was really worthless.

Suddenly I heard Fat Fish say: "Someone is coming."

Qin Xiao immediately looked in the direction of Fat Fish's gaze, and saw dense shadows coming this way not far away. Although the sky and the earth were dark, Qin Xiao's eyesight was so good that he could clearly see that they were a group of cavalry, at least.

There are also hundreds of riders.
