After searching around the yard but not finding Xu Lun, Huo Qingyun and the others escorted Dongzi and quietly headed to the mountain pass!
Along the way, I met two more lone bandits.
Huo Qingyun repeated his old tricks. He first asked Dongzi to attract their attention and extract some information, and then he killed them with one strike!
...
At the mountain pass, Sun Chong and his men pretended to attack, but did not get close. The bandits from Xiaoyang Mountain did not take the initiative to fight, but relied on the advantage of the terrain and shouted bluffingly!
The two sides formed a stalemate for a while.
Although it has already fallen into the night, today is in the middle of the month and it is clear and cloudless. A full moon hangs high in the night sky, shining Xiaoyang Mountain like daylight!
On a towering wooden frame, a row of shields as tall as one person were neatly placed in front. Xu Lun hid behind the shield like a shrunken turtle and shouted loudly: "Is Lin Xu here? Let him come out to see you.
I!"
Since Xu Lun dared to call for formation, Lin Xu would naturally not have stage fright and strode forward.
"Sir, don't go there, be careful of the bandit's archers!"
Sun Chong immediately reminded.
"It doesn't matter, the distance between us and the bandits is more than a hundred meters. They only have longbows. From such a long distance, even if their arrows can be shot, they are already at the end of their crossbows and they will not pose any threat to me at all."
Lin Xu continued calmly: "In addition, let our crossbowmen be prepared. Their longbows cannot shoot at such a long distance, but our powerful crossbows can! It's just Xu Lunzang
It’s too tight and I can’t shoot him to death with one arrow! Listen to my orders later and let’s shoot arrows together!”
"yes!"
Sun Chong agreed and immediately went to make arrangements.
At the same time, he specially arranged a few shield bearers to escort Lin Xu to the front of the formation. With such a long distance and the shield bearers escorting him, Lin Xu would not be in any danger.
Walking to the front of the formation, Lin Xu said loudly: "Xu Lun, what else do you have to say?"
"Lin Xu, there may be some misunderstandings between us, but there is no need to go to this step! How about we withdraw our troops and sit down and talk about it? We are all reasonable people, and there is nothing that cannot be discussed!
"
"Haha, since you want to talk, that's fine! Come over and talk now!"
"It's already dark, and this is not the place to talk. You'd better come to my cottage, I'll make a pot of good tea, and we'll drink and talk, how about it?"
"Go to your cottage to talk? Stop making trouble! If you fall out, wouldn't I be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth?"
Lin Xu had no intention of negotiating with Xu Lun at all. He was just trying to deal with it in a cowardly manner, stalling for a while, waiting to get along with Huo Qingyun!
"Haha, Mr. Lin is so good at joking! Since I took the initiative to invite you to negotiate, how could I possibly fall out? I, Xu Lunbi, don't dare to boast, but I definitely promise!"
Although Xu Lun didn't know the status of the battle between the third master and Lin Xu, he could infer from the current situation that the third master and the fifty brothers he led must have been completely wiped out!
Even Dongzi, who he let out to get the news, has most likely been killed!
Otherwise, Dongzi should have come back long ago!
Therefore, he was very frightened and did not have the courage to go to war with Lin Xu. He only wanted to negotiate peace!
However, he did not have the courage to go to Lin Xu, so he could only try his best to persuade Lin Xu to come to his village to talk!
"Are you still serious about Ran Nuo? Haha, I don't know if Shopkeeper Xu Da is really serious about Ran Nuo. However, I have seen the skill of Shopkeeper Xu Da in boasting today."
Lin Xu mocked wantonly.
"Mr. Lin, you brought so many people up the mountain but did not attack. You are obviously here to negotiate! In that case, why do you need to say these sarcastic words?"
Xu Lun's expression was a bit offended at being squeezed, but he didn't dare to turn his back, so he had to use words to fight back. This chapter has been completed!
