Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

Hearing those women's voices, Huo Xiuwen's scalp tingled and he spoke.

"I promise. I really do."

Li Yuan asked softly: "How can I know that you are sincere? If you do what happened just now, I am afraid that this Jiguan Mountain will be flooded with blood."

"No, no. Move the bed. There is a hole underneath. Open it and you will find my savings from these years. I just hope you can show mercy and not touch my brothers."

Li Yuan remained silent and stared at the man. Huo Xiuwen could no longer maintain his composure. Hearing the cries outside, he looked at Li Yuan anxiously.

Dai Jiangong quickly went forward and moved the bed to the side. According to Huo Xiuwen's instructions, he found the small secret compartment under the bed.

Inside was a small box made of pear wood, which was very heavy.

It wasn't very big, but it was still difficult for Dai Jiangong to lift it out.

After carrying the things out with sweat all over his forehead, he opened the box. The moment he opened it, Dai Jiangong's eyes were dazzled by the glittering gold.

"Master, Master!"

He had never seen so much gold in his life.

Huo Xiuwen was even more anxious. He told the two men who were not in a hurry and were still looking at the box. He shouted, "Tell them to stop! Stop killing them..."

He already started to cry.

Li Yuan, who was disturbed, said: "Let them do it."

Dai Jiangong closed the box with a smile on his face, then placed it next to Li Yuan and walked out quickly.

Before leaving, he looked at Huo Xiuwen meaningfully with a smile on his face.

After Dai Jiangong left, the crying stopped soon. Huo Xiuwen, who was worried, knelt down in front of Li Yuan and said, "I recognize you as the leader of Jiguan Mountain. Please let my women and brothers go."

"it is good."

Now that things have come to this, nothing is impossible.

"I'm going to go see them."

"Row."

Huo Xiuwen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His feet were still tied. He tried to untie them but failed. He could only look at Li Yuan again.

Li Yuan squatted down and untied it, and Huo Xiuwen got up and ran out.

Seeing the people leave, Li Yuan turned around to look at the box of gold and couldn't help but smile.

The smile at the corner of his lips was filled with joy and happiness.

Huo Xiuwen stumbled out and almost fell to the ground. He raised his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

The second in command was lying on the ground, and a group of women looked panic-stricken.

Huo Xiuwen propped himself up and walked over. As soon as he walked over, a sharp-eyed woman saw him and saw him staggering. She shouted, "Boss—"

Then she ran over and hugged him.

Huo Xiuwen, who was being hugged, just raised his head to comfort her when he saw the second in command wake up in a daze, climbed up, slapped his forehead and looked around in confusion.

"Daniu? You're still alive?"

Huo Xiuwen pushed the woman away, took a few steps forward, grabbed the second in command and felt him up and down to make sure there were no wounds.

"How...how are you still alive?"

Daniu was also confused, touching his head and shaking his head in confusion. Huo Xiuwen looked fiercely at the woman who had just screamed.

Although the women around him were delighted at his arrival, their eyes unconsciously fell to his left.

On the left side was a backpack with more than a dozen snakes in it, wriggling and entangled with each other.

Huo Xiuwen looked towards Dai Jiangong suddenly, and seeing Dai Jiangong's delighted expression, he realized that he had been tricked.

He suddenly collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the surroundings.

No one died.

The people inside deceived him.

All his belongings were gone.

Daniu came over, looking a little confused, "Boss, why are you here? Are you coming down to accompany me?"

"Are we in the world of the living or the underworld now..."

"You big-headed ghost, you're still in the underworld, I tell you to...!"

Huo Xiuwen was so angry that he hit Daniu on the head, cursing at the same time, and Daniu ran away with his head in his hands.

"Boss, Boss, stop fighting!"

"I was wrong, Boss."

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know either... Ouch, hit me gently..."

After everyone calmed down, Huo Xiuwen walked towards his room again with unsteady legs.

He pushed open the door, and the person who had been sitting on the chair before was now standing at the window looking out.

The man in front of him was too young. Huo Xiuwen considered himself not a man of great strategy, but he was smarter than most people.

Because of chance and my own cleverness, Jiguanshan came into being today.

He had seen all kinds of people, but none of them was so vicious at such a young age. They tricked him into sending people and money away, and almost tricked him into committing suicide.

For such a young person to have such a plan, it is not an exaggeration to say that the young are to be feared.

"May I ask your name?"

"My surname is Li, and my given name is Yuan." Li Yuan turned around and said. Seeing him come back, I knew he knew.

"How about seeing all the people you care about?"

Huo Xiuwen's face darkened, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about the heart-wrenching pain he had just experienced.

"If I can catch you once, I'll catch you twice. Don't dream about what you can do. If you don't want to cause unnecessary deaths, just behave yourself."

Li Yuan patiently said to the man, "How you treated them before they crossed the mountain is how I will treat them after this."

"You can stay and continue to be with your brothers."

"There is one thing I don't understand, and I want to be a clear-headed person."

Li Yuan raised his head and motioned him to ask.

"How many of you are here? How did you get into our Jiguan Mountain?"

"It took fifty people to capture you. As for the method used... there are many methods, but the best method is to catch you by surprise and let you enjoy yourself comfortably."

"Fifty people?!"

Huo Xiuwen looked at him with a look of "you are kidding me". Li Yuan did not deny it, but continued: "Fifty people, they sneaked in behind the people who delivered the food."

"You arrested all my 1,300-plus people with just 50 people?" Huo Xiuwen refused to believe it.

Li Yuan smiled. Huo Xiuwen didn't know that Li Yuan didn't smile very often, but once he smiled it meant something very good was going to happen.

"The people under your command are quite cunning and have given you enough drugs. Your brothers... should not have woken up yet."

Huo Xiuwen looked at the young man in front of him and took a deep breath. He really didn't expect that the young man in front of him would bring fifty people to sneak into his Jiguan Mountain and capture more than a thousand of their people.

This courage and strategy are all extraordinary.

Huo Xiuwen did not lose to such a person. Moreover, none of his brothers were injured.

After figuring this out, he bent down and formally acknowledged Li Yuan's identity.

"I'm Huo Xiuwen, and I'm here to meet the boss."

Before going to Jiguan Mountain, Qinniang told him that marching and fighting depended on conspiracies and schemes, and one had to play with the enemy's mind.

As long as you understand what kind of person the other party is and what his situation is, you can fight this battle with ease.

Although the capture of Jiguanshan this time was despicable, it was achieved without losing a single soldier.

It is the best policy.
