As soon as this person's words came out, Yuwen Chengchao and others were shocked.

When several people stood behind Chen Zhitai, they deliberately lowered their heads, just not wanting to be seen by the other party. Yuwen Chengchao even stood behind the tall Chen Zhitai to cover up.

Everyone was ready to take action immediately when Ding Zixiu approached.

With the combined strength of all the people, no matter how powerful Ding Zixiu is, he will never be able to escape. As long as he captures Ding Zixiu, and Chen Zhitai, the third leader of the family, has already switched sides, the bandits on the mountain will inevitably collapse in an instant. A few people can hold Ding Zixiu back.

Go back to the suspension bridge.

But no one expected that Ding Zixiu would reveal Yuwen Chengchao's identity with one word.

Fat Fish's heart sank. Knowing that his identity had been exposed, he drew his knife without hesitation and put it on Chen Zhitai's neck in an instant.

He was not sure that Chen Zhitai had given out some kind of hint, but at this moment he could only control Chen Zhitai as a hostage.

Although he knew that this hostage might not be of much use.

Qin Xiao was also frightened. He was really careful along the way, especially Chen Zhitai, because he was worried that this guy would defect again.

If you can betray Ding Zixiu, you can certainly betray Yuwen Chengchao.

But there was nothing strange about Chen Zhitai, and Qin Xiao never saw him making any hints to anyone.

Yu Wen Chengchao was startled, but quickly regained his composure. He walked forward from Chen Zhitai, put one hand behind his back, and took two steps forward. Before he took the third step, Ding Zixiu on the opposite side had already raised his hand and said: "Okay, big brother."

Young Master, please don’t come too close again. Do you know that I am really afraid of you? I have nightmares about you at night because of fear. Don’t come too close.” As he spoke, many figures emerged from both sides of the wooden house, including one

Five or six people drew their bows and arrows, moved to both sides of Ding Zixiu, and aimed at Yuwen Chengchao.

The blade was placed on his neck, and a chill ran through his body from his neck. The ax in Chen Zhitai's hand fell to the ground, and he exclaimed: "Don't...don't do it, misunderstanding...this is all a misunderstanding."

Ding Zixiu said loudly: "Master, save me...!"

"Zhitai, I am very grateful for your great contribution." Ding Zixiu said with a smile: "Don't worry, if they kill you, I will definitely cut them into pieces to avenge you."

"Master, I don't want to die." Chen Zhitai obviously didn't expect such a situation, and almost cried: "I was forced, it was them... they forced me to do this, I feel sorry for the boss

The loyalty of the leader can be learned from heaven and earth...!" At this point, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have a knife held to his neck by someone from Yuwen Chengchao, and he immediately changed his words: "Young Master, I don't either

I know why this is happening, I...!" I was a little confused and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Yu Wen Chengchao was very calm and smiled at Ding Zixiu: "Ding Zixiu, I thought I would never see you again in this life."

"But Ding always thinks about seeing the eldest son again." Ding Zixiu sighed: "Back then, the three of us brothers really couldn't survive, so we fell into trouble and became bandits. In fact, we didn't want to go against you, we just wanted to survive. You Yuwen

The family is so powerful that we really don’t dare to provoke them. That robbery was just out of help. Who would have thought that the eldest son would kill them all? If it weren’t for my fate, all three of us brothers would have died in the hands of the eldest son.”

Yu Wen Chengchao smiled and said: "I have always had a regret over the years. I have not been able to reunite you three brothers underground. Good people will fight to the end. Today I finally have the opportunity. I will help you with this."

Ding Zixiu laughed and said: "The eldest son is indeed from a famous family. He makes people scared when he opens his mouth, but what you say tonight is a big lie." He pointed around with his finger: "Look carefully, eldest son.

Can you still kill me?"

Of course Yuwen Chengchao had noticed that when he spoke, many figures had appeared around him.

Qin Xiao could see clearly that there were at least hundreds of mountain bandits surrounding him from all sides, at least as many as hundreds, and they were all as fierce as wolves and tigers.

Chen Zhitai had confessed before that Ding Zixiu's men only had more than 200 people in total. More than 20 people were arrested for robbing grain trucks. They cleared the sentry posts in the front mountain and solved a dozen more, plus the minions from the suspension bridge and checkpoints.

, there are only more than a hundred people left.

In other words, Ding Zixiu actually ambushed almost all his men here tonight.

These people were hiding in secret places all around. It was impossible to summon them at short notice. They could only be prepared in advance.

But Yu Wen Chengchao had just arrived, and even if Ding Zixiu had good eyesight and could immediately recognize that the person behind Chen Zhitai was Yu Wen Chengchao, he still had to prepare an ambush in advance.

Qin Xiao's face was grim, knowing that he might have fallen into a carefully laid trap tonight.

"Ding Zixiu, have you learned fortune-telling in the past two years of hiding in Tibet?" Yu Wen Chengchao smiled lightly and said, "How did you know I was coming tonight?"

Ding Zixiu said with a proud smile: "The eldest son has been promoted. His hexagram skills are extremely profound. How can a person like me learn them? In the past few years, I have only thought about the eldest son's temperament and pondered the inner meaning of his temperament.

Is there any fatal weakness?"

"oh?"

"The eldest son prides himself on being both civil and military. As the eldest son of the Yuwen family, he is unwilling to be inferior in anything and hopes to do something big." Ding Zixiu said with a smile: "Especially when I escaped death from the eldest son.

This must be something that the eldest son regrets. My eldest son, I have always wanted to see you again in the past few years, and I guess you also want to find me to make up for the regrets of the past."

Yuwen Chengchao smiled and said, "So today I found you."

"The eldest son is wrong. It was not you who found me, but I asked you to come and see me." Ding Zixiu said: "To be honest, if I don't want the eldest son to see me, the eldest son will never have a chance in this life, but

If I want you to see me, you will definitely come by yourself."

Yuwen Chengchao knew there was something in his words.

Qin Xiao and others were trapped in a tight siege. Knowing that the situation was critical, they held down the hilt of their swords and were ready to take action at any time.

"The eldest son has been investigating Ding's whereabouts recently." Ding Zixiu said with a smile: "So it is not difficult for you to find out that Ding settled in Jigong Gorge. However, the terrain of Jigong Gorge is dangerous, and you know very little about the situation in the mountains.

If you are not completely sure, you, the Yuwen family, will probably not act rashly. Last time I escaped, you lost all face. If you fail again this time, the Yuwen family will really have no shame in continuing to hang out in Xiling."

Yuwen Chengchao snorted coldly and said nothing.

"Since we want to be absolutely sure, we must first figure out the arrangements in the mountain." Ding Zixiu said slowly: "The best way is, of course, to catch a few tongues. The most lacking thing in the mountain is food, and now it happens to be the time of the autumn harvest. From then on,

There is food shipped from each county to the capital. If you deliberately set up an ambush to lure my brothers here to grab the food, wouldn't you be able to catch the tongue?"

Qin Xiao's heart trembled, thinking that Ding Zixiu's scheming could be so deep.

It was Qin Xiao's idea to use the grain team to lure mountain bandits to rob grain and then set up an ambush to catch people's tongues. This was Qin Xiao's idea to Yuwen Chengchao, but Ding Zixiu seemed to be on the scene at that time and knew all about the plan.

"It just so happens that our Master Chen is very eager to do meritorious service, and he is very clear about the deployment in the mountains. We asked him to lead people to ambush and rob the grain, just in time to send the tongue to the eldest son." Ding Zixiu chuckled and said: "Eldest son, this is a gift from me.

It should be to your liking, right?"

Yuwen Chengchao changed his color slightly, and Chen Zhitai was also surprised and said: "Master, you...you already knew that the officers and soldiers had set a trap?"

"When Zitai falls into your hands, you are of course as if you have found a treasure." Ding Zixiu sighed: "Of course the eldest son could not have thought that he was the bait I gave you. If he didn't fall into your hands, how could you?

Deliver it to your door yourself?"

"Master, you are not being honest." Chen Zhitai said angrily: "You know it is a trap, how can you send me there? Do you still think that I am your brother?"

"Zhitai, for the sake of so many brothers in the mountains, what does it matter if you suffer a little injustice?" The second master took two steps forward and said calmly.

Chen Zhitai could see that not only did Ding Zixiu have plans for this matter in advance, but even the second master knew about it. He was the only one who was sent out like a fool, and he was furious: "Why didn't you discuss it with me in advance?"

"If I discuss it with you, it will be easy to find flaws." Ding Zixiu said calmly: "Don't you know your own character?"

Chen Zhitai clenched his fists, feeling that there was no good person in the world.

"So you already knew that the ambush sentries in Qianshan would be cleared by us?" Yuwen Chengchao finally said: "You sold those dozen people without blinking an eye?"

Ding Zixiu's face became cold and stern, and he sneered: "As long as I can kill you and avenge my brother, I don't even care about my own life, let alone others? There is always a price to pay to get rid of the dignified Young Master Yuwen."

"If we clear out those people and stay in the front mountain without coming over, wouldn't your plan be in vain?" Yu Wen Chengchao stared at Ding Zixiu with his eyes like a knife.

"It's possible." Ding Zixiu said: "So I can only take a gamble. You have always wanted to catch me with your own hands, and you are worried that I will leave without a trace this time, so you must be very anxious. Young Master, I

I admit that you are a smart person and bold. Once you know that Zhitai has the opportunity to approach me, with your character, you will never miss such a good opportunity." He opened his arms and smiled: "So I will wait for you here.

I hope you don't have any worries and come here boldly, and you...really didn't disappoint me."

Ning Zhifeng couldn't help but said: "Ding Zixiu, Jigong Gorge has been surrounded. If you kneel down and surrender, the eldest son may be able to spare your life. Otherwise... you and your men will definitely be a Jigong."

Dogs don’t stay.”

"So what?" Ding Zixiu sneered: "I have you as hostages in my hands, and the officers and soldiers are afraid to act rashly. Young Master, I wonder how much money the Yuwen family will spend to redeem you? Ten thousand taels? One hundred thousand taels? Or one

A million taels? I have so many brothers. To feed them, I have to spend some money. The Yuwen family will bring the money here first. When everyone divides the money and evacuates from the mountain, I will naturally leave a place for you.
