Kou Zhong rose up to his full height and shouted, “Where’s wang shi+chong?”
Dressed in civilian clothes, wang shi+chong appeared on the bridge With hiqiu and six or seven that the boys knew as uards; but they did not see anybody fro dra is finally able to stand and walk on your own dog legs, it is worthy of celebration”
wang shi+chong did not get angry at all; he spoke heavily, “Kou Zhong, this is not the first day you are roa bullshi+t less Thelaughed and said, “Well said! Since wanggong is so sensible, naturally you already have a way that will satisfy rival dee the hostage Why don’t you lay it out and we see if it is feasible?”
“Isn’t it so sie, afterwards I guarantee to let the three of you leave the city, absolutely won’t stop you Rong Gong [honorable gentle his eyes, Kou Zhong looked at wang shi+chong, who stood on the arch of the bridge; shaking his head, he said with a laugh, “wanggong is joking, right? Your guarantee is not worth half a penny How can Rong Laoban [boss] act as your guarantor?”
Rong Fengxiang spoke heavily, “Cut the crap, tell us what you want”
Kou Zhong laughed aloud and said, “It’s extremely simple You hand the ate, let us leave the city, and then after we are out of toe’ll let your rily said, “Contrary toyour chicken before they are hatched Absolutely not! Who could guarantee that after you leave the city you are still going to deliver the goods?”
Cal said, “When did I, Kou Zhong, ever go back on my word? Besides, you have no choice in thisis out of question, I will kill your treasured son I would rather see how manyyou have your son back, and then having you order yourinterjected, “Can Kou Xiongdi listen to Laofu? The proble occurs inside the city If it were outside the city, Kou Xiongdi will have nothing to worry about!”
Kou Zhong turned toward Xu Ziling, as sitting by his side After exchanging glances, he shook his head and said, “Rong Laoban does not see in the art of war If we do it your way, our whereabouts and where we are going will be entirely under your control If by that tiret, wouldn’t it be too late? No need to be wordy; you want to swap, you have to do it my way, I won’t take no as an answer”
A ’s eyes, but quickly died down He pulled wang shi+chong aside to the part of the bridge where Kou Zhong could not see the leaned over to Xu Ziling and whispered, “Anyshook his head, “No!” he said, “But I always feel soh I cannot pinpoint where the proble mused, “Is it because we cannot see Li kid and hisnodded, “That is perhaps one of the reasons,” he said, “Butsincerely wanted to swap hostages, he shouldn’t involve Rong Fengxiang”
Kou Zhong shook, “Make sense!” he said
Thisand the others reappeared on the arch of the bridge
Kou Zhong let out a cold laugh and said, “Laozi is getting i cal we believe you But youthat you will fulfill your obligation If you don’t agree, I, wang shi+chong, have no choice but to zhi will have to suffer all kinds of abuse; he cannot seek life, and won’t be able to find death You will also pray to the Heaven that you will not fall intosaid, “You, wang shi+chong, how ets favor and repays kindness with evil What else do you want to say?”
“Bring hi looked up; Xu Xingzhi’s upper body appeared over the bridge railings; his hair disheveled, his face covered in bloodstain and bruises, his body was tightly tied with thick hemp rope, his eyes were closed, he appeared to be unconscious Xu Ziling could only vaguely recognize his silhouette
Kou Zhong grew very suspicious; he shouted, “Wake hi shi+chong coldly shouted, “I’ll hand him over to you, you check him out yourself and then we’ll talk! Toss hizhi up and threw him over toward the small boat
With his upper body securely tied, Xu Xingzhi was spinning continuously in the air; looking at hisor so to land on the boar
Xu Ziling raised the oar tofocused his full attention on the situation all around
‘Whoop!’ Xu Xingzhi bounced back upward Now it appeared that he would roll toward the boat
Right this e happened
The thick rope on Xu Xingzhi’s body suddenly disintegrated into pieces Both of his hands raised, bursts of powerful finger wind swiftly attacked the two boys
At the same time, the boat shook with a loud rumble and turned into wooden chips
The two boys had already waited in tight forht paint by holding two brushes at the sales at the same time], and completely reversed the situation
All of a sudden they no longer stood on the s into the river
All around there were sharp whistling as from both banks of the riverat the on theer wind and arrows, the two boys knew in their hearts that the only way to reverse their losing battle was to keep wang Xuanying under their control
The two suddenly increased their speed diving into the water, but immediately their whole body broke out in cold sweats
They saw so’s body, and lifted it up at an angle By the ti Whip, it was already too late
The two boys were so upset that they felt like crying in the water to vent the resentment and remorse in their heart But this moment there was no time to think; fro crossbow, closing in on the to evade these exceptionally strong and long-ranged assault weapon under water would be a vain atteht started to appear on both banks, casting their light into the river
The two boys continued sinking straight toward the pitch-black bottoht their shadow under water, they could forget about escaping alive This kind of helplessness and uselessness feeling was as unbearable as a huge rock pressing against the pit of their stomachs
If they did not choose River Luo to carry out the transaction, even if they greings, it would still be difficult for the was the first to reach the bottom of the river As soon as he touched the mud on the riverbed, his heart was y onto both palms, which he then repeated pushed out all around The spiraling force raised up the mud and spun it around A short moment later the river water beca cheered inwardly and followed Xu Ziling’s exa close to the bottoether and quickly left the area
The two boys crawl up the bank under a bridge on the Yi River at the south side of the city; they could only look at each other with bitter shed and said, “The enezhihead; with his disheveled hair, his body trussed up like that [orig upper body bound with arms tied behind the back and rope looped around the neck], made me temporarily unable to identify hi advantage of us”
Pulling hi spoke in heavy voice, “The one disguising hisun Wuji As soon as he nized his shenfa and his body shape”
Muttering to hizhi must be either harmed by them, or he already knehat happened and escaped first Otherwise, wang shi+chong can’t possibly let his son risk the danger of being killed Because the plan is not without flaws If at that ti to receive a bit of injury, there was still enough ti’s little life”
Xu Ziling nodded in agreeht too Should we try to leave town after daybreak then?”
