Wu Nian took great care of Wang Ruyan, so he specially set up a tent for the master and servant, slept next to him, and took care of him nearby.

Wang Ruyan is very grateful to him.

That night, there was no more trouble. Wu Nian thought of Wang Ruyanxiang's smooth body, but had to sleep side by side with Zhang Jin and Long Qi.

The next morning, it was still dawn.

A thick mist filled the mountain, and a shrill wolf howl came from the hillside in the distance. The soldiers got up early, set up iron pots, buried the pots to make rice.

Wu Nian had already woken up, and first rinsed his mouth and washed his face with cold water. While breakfast was still a while, he chose a secluded place to do boxing.

This is a set of boxing techniques learned in Wu Nian’s previous life, called Xuanwu Fist, which is a type of internal martial arts.

Wu Nian stood among the dead branches and leaves, exhaling like thunder, slowly unfolding his boxing skills, moving like a tiger, still as quiet as a virgin, and movements are endless between movement and stillness.

After a set of Xuanwu punches, Wu Nian finished his work and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air in his chest. His face was slightly rosy, his eyes were full of energy and his spirits.

"My benefactor. Your boxing style is a bit special."

Wu Nian's ears moved and he heard Wang Ruyan's voice coming from behind. He turned to look and couldn't help but smile.

The life on the mountain is hard, and the most terrifying thing is that there are many mosquitoes and they have no protection measures.

Wang Ruyan, a delicate beauty, had a few more big bags on her tender face, which looked a bit embarrassed, but it also made her real.

Before, she was as beautiful as a fairy in the sky.

"Miss also knows boxing?" Wu Nian asked with a smile without looking much, as if he seemed rude.

"I know a little bit." Wang Ruyan nodded gently. Her family is all studying medicine, and her medical skills are many times higher than her father.

She can strengthen her body by doing things like boxing. She can’t practice it, but she knows a little.

She instinctively felt that Wu Nian's boxing style was a bit special.

Wu Nian did not discuss boxing with Wang Ruyan in depth. He raised his head and said to Wang Ruyan seriously: "Miss Wang. Today is the day to exchange hostages. I can't leave anyone to protect you. So you have to be with us, if you meet them

If anything, you can only leave it to fate.”

Wang Ruyan's face also became serious, and she said with a decisive look: "My benefactor, don't worry, life and death are destined. I chose the way, and I will not regret it if I die."

"Okay." Wu Nian nodded with a smile. He just admired Wang Ruyan's point, treated him as if he was home, and was strong and loyal.

Although she is a beauty, she is a very unique beauty.

Wu Nian chatted with her for a while until Tieniu came over. The two returned to the camp together. Wu Nian and his soldiers ate "big pot rice". After they had enough food and drink, he began to dispatch troops.

The most important thing is the spy.

Although Wu Nian predicted that Zhang Ning would not dare to play tricks anymore, he was not afraid of ten thousand, but he was afraid that if he could only disperse the spy and act as a witness to him, he would not be ambushed.

After the arrangement was made, Wu Nian separated from Wang Ruyan. He only brought Tie Niu, Zhang Jin and more than 30 people to Kuzhu Mountain.

Kuzhu Mountain is also a low mountain, with roads nearby. However, Wu Nian did not choose the place where the hostages were exchanged at the top of the mountain, but chose the mountain road between the two mountains.

When they were ready, the sun had already climbed high. There were only Tie Niu left beside Wu Nian, and more than ten people were Zhang Jin and Zhang, and of course, Zhang Qiongshan and Young Master Zhang, who had one ear, were indispensable.

The sun is very fierce today and it is so hot that it is too sunny. Wu Nian doesn't care, he can withstand it. But he is afraid that Zhang Qiongshan will not be able to withstand it.

Since one ear was cut off, Zhang Qiongshan kept his head down, as if he was an ostrich, and he accepted his fate. But he occasionally raised his head and looked at Wu Nian, his eyes full of viciousness.

Wu Nian felt it, but he didn't care about him.

Slowly the sun has climbed to the center.

Wu Nian took the sheepskin water bag from Tienniu's hand, pulled out the plug, took a big sip of water, poured it into his hand a little, rubbed his cheeks, and cooled it down.

"Everyone cheer up." Wu Nian said.

"Yes." Everyone was excited and answered yes loudly.

Not long after, the sound of wheels, horse hooves, and footsteps came from the front, and gradually approached from a distance. Finally, a team of about one hundred people appeared in front of everyone.

Wu Nian watched quietly. Five of them were wearing armor and riding tall horses, while the rest were very strong and had a delicate aura.

"It's all elite soldiers." Wu Nian said in his heart. But he was not afraid at all, but was full of excitement.

How could it be just a exchange today? He wants to let half of his neck break a tooth.

Elite? I'm fighting the elite.

Zhang Ningding rode on a black horse and saw Wu Nian from afar. After reaching a suitable distance, he waved his hand and asked the horse to stop.

He looked at Wu Nian first and frowned. There were only more than ten people on the side, which was unreasonable.

"There must be an archer ambushing around here. Stand up the shield." Zhang Ningding reached out and called a subordinate and ordered.

"Yes." The subordinate responded and went down to pass the order. Soon after, a shield was erected on the periphery of the team to prevent accidents.

"Wu Xiaoqi. How do we exchange hostages?" After Zhang Ningding was ready, he took a deep breath and said loudly to Wu Nian.

"I have to check the money before exchanging hostages." Wu Nian was not easy to fool, so he was smart and replied yelling.

He just smiled at Zhang Ningding's move to raise his shield.

"Okay. Please send someone to check Wu Xiaoqi. Don't worry. Our Qiongshan life is precious, and we will not fake it if we only have 2,000 taels of silver."

Zhang Ning pulled the reins with his hands and said loudly.

This time he will kill Wu Nian.

Silver or something, it’s not their own.

There is no need to fake it.

"Liu Sheng, Wang Jin. You go and verify it. Remember to be careful and don't be careless." Wu Nian nodded and turned to say to two family soldiers from bandits beside him.

"yes."

The two of them were also quite brave. After answering loudly, they walked towards Zhang Ningding together. After obtaining Zhang Ningding's approval, they opened the large wooden boxes installed on two flatbed carriages, revealing the neatly placed large and neatly placed.

Silver ingots.

Even though the two were bandits, they took a breath.

This is the taste of wealth. Lord Xiaoqi has become rich this time.

They took a deep breath again, calmed down, and began to carefully check the silver ingots, looking at them one by one, without any impatience.

After the inspection was completed, the two quickly returned to Wu Nian's side. They bent down and saluted, "Sir, there is no problem with the silver ingot."

"good."

Wu Nian nodded, then said to Zhang Ningding loudly: "It's very simple. You untie the ropes of my subordinates. Let them drive the carriage. Then I count one, two, three. We will release people at the same time."

A glimmer flashed in Zhang Ningding's eyes. This method was really too dangerous.

The mountain road here is narrow. What if the dozen hostages they released on the way arrested Zhang Qiongshan again?

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Ningding said generously: "Wu Xiaoqi. I have no objection to your plan. But I am more generous. I will let your subordinates go first, leaving only two people to drive the carriage. What do you think?"

Wu Nian immediately guessed Zhang Ningding’s thoughts and said with a smile: “It’s worthy of being Zhang Ningding, and his mind is indeed meticulous. Good.”

"Let them go." Seeing Wu Nian agreeing, Zhang Ningding turned to a subordinate and said. The subordinate immediately went down and cut the rope tied to Li Sheng and others with a knife, leaving only two people behind.

After Li Sheng and others were released, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly ran towards Wu Nian.

"Sir, we are incompetent." After Li Sheng came to Wu Nian, he bent down in shame and saluted.

"No. It's not your business. It's just that disaster comes from the sky." Wu Nian shook his head and said to Wang Gui: "Wang Gui. Take them away first."

"Yes." Wang Gui responded and immediately left the place with Li Sheng and others.

"Zhang Ningding. I'll start counting." Wu Nian took a deep breath, then gestured to Zhang Jin with his eyes.

The meaning is very clear.

Shoot and kill Zhang Qiongshan.

Release people?

How could it be released?
