Chapter 210 Who is so bold as to fool my guards?
At this time, a small leader walked out from behind Boss Li.
He waved the rope in his hand, "Excuse me, King Qi, we need to tie you up."
There was a fierce flash in Xiao Minshen's eyes.
"Why, Boss Li, you don't believe me?"
Boss Li hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant. I'm also thinking about my brothers."
"If everything goes well and we get to the capital, I will personally apologize to the King of Qi!"
Xiao Minshen looked around at the people on the field. Last night, these people were still arm in arm with him and treated him as brothers.
Today, everyone stood behind Boss Li, staring at him eagerly.
"Do you all think so?" He looked at the others on the field.
The little leader just now turned his head and looked at the people behind him.
"Brothers, the guards around the King of Qi sneaked down the mountain, but I saw it with my own eyes."
"Why did he let his guards sneak down the mountain since we have already agreed to surrender?"
"What if the King of Qi has ambushed a large group of troops at the foot of the mountain? If we go down the mountain, won't we be walking into a trap?"
The mountain stronghold where they live now is easy to defend but difficult to attack, which is why the imperial court has not been able to wipe them out.
After the King of Qi observed the terrain here, he began to think of offering amnesty.
After observing for a few days, he discovered that the water source of the village flowed down from the mountain behind.
He took Mo Yi and went to the back mountain and put drugs in the water source.
The next day, when the two went to the village again, they found that everyone was asleep.
Xiao Minshen tied up several leaders and then sat down to negotiate with them.
Xiao Minshen was the first person to sneak into the village. Besides, Boss Li also wanted to retire.
In this way, Xiao Minshen smoothly negotiated the relevant matters with Boss Li.
Now, Boss Li suddenly turned hostile, which he had not expected.
"If I really wanted to wipe you out, I would have killed you all while you were unconscious that day."
"Is it necessary to sit down and discuss recruiting with you?"
Everyone on the field looked at each other.
Indeed, if the King of Qi wanted their lives that day, he could have done it directly without having to trick them away.
"We believe in the sincerity of the King of Qi, but we don't trust other people."
Boss Li looked at Xiao Minshen.
"Please forgive us, King Qi. We just want to protect ourselves."
"Once we are safely in the capital, I will personally take the blame and apologize."
Xiao Minshen's face darkened.
"To put it bluntly, you just don't believe what I say."
"In that case, you can tie him up." Xiao Minshen stretched out his hand.
Boss Li also knew that by doing this, they would chill Xiao Minshen's feelings.
But there is no way. People like them who live on the edge of a knife value their own lives more.
Boss Li took the rope from the leader and tied Xiao Minshen up himself.
"Let's go." Xiao Minshen took the lead and walked down the mountain.
The rest of the people followed behind him one by one.
Below the village is a pocket-shaped dam, and outside of it is a narrow path.
This is usually the best place to attack intruders.
Now, the bandits walked past here one by one, and they all looked cautiously at the surrounding mountains.
If there were soldiers lying in ambush on the mountain, they would all be caught in the trap.
Boss Li and the leader who had previously proposed to kidnap Xiao Minshen walked on the left and right behind Xiao Minshen.
The two held him tightly, fearing that he would break free if they were not careful.
Xiao Minshen walked while observing his surroundings.
Mo Yi said that the virtuous king came to pick him up, but how come he didn’t see anyone along the way?
Could it be that Mo Yi and the Xian Wang missed it?
If that's the case, we really need to think about how to solve the current situation.
The idea of recruiting was a temporary decision on his part. After he had reached an agreement, he sent a letter to Fulu by carrier pigeon.
Fu Lu would only be handed over to the emperor after receiving it.
If someone interferes along the way or hijacks his letters, the emperor may not receive his message in time.
Judging from the wise king's itinerary, he must have set out before his letter arrived in the capital.
So, the wise king only knew that he was kidnapped by the bandits, but he didn't know that he had recruited the bandits.
If the two armies met, the wise king, who was unaware of the situation, might really attack the bandits.
And since he was tied up by bandits, the wise king would think that he was being kidnapped by bandits.
He tried to move his fingers out of habit, and suddenly found that the rope on his wrist was loose.
He looked at it carefully and found that the rope was tied into a slipknot and the knot was right next to his hand.
As long as he pulled lightly, the rope buckle would be pulled open.
His heart moved and he glanced sideways at Boss Li who was hiding behind him on the right.
Boss Li, like the other gangsters behind him, was like a frightened bird, staring at the surrounding environment cautiously.
"Don't be afraid, I will definitely keep you safe."
Xiao Minshen said in a low voice to Boss Li.
When everyone had walked into the narrow path, a flag was suddenly raised on the mountain.
The front and back of the trail were suddenly blocked by soldiers pouring out.
All the gangsters panicked and drew their weapons.
"You have no way out. Lay down your weapons and you can save your lives."
At the intersection ahead, the virtuous king was riding on horseback, and the soldiers beside him were shouting at Xiao Minshen and the others.
Xiao Minshen looked at the virtuous king expressionlessly, only to see the virtuous king looking at him and smiling in a friendly manner.
"Fifth brother, Sixth brother is here to save you!"
"Sixth Brother, where is Mo Yi?" Xiao Minshen asked coldly.
"Mo Yi? Is that your guard? My sixth brother didn't meet him." The wise king looked gentle.
Xiao Minshen narrowed his eyes, "They have been recruited by me now."
The virtuous king was surprised and said, "I have not received any imperial edict!"
"If you don't believe me, let's go back to the capital and we'll understand."
"Since you have already recruited them, why do they still tie you up?"
Xiao Minshen raised his hand, "Look, is this tied up?"
As Xiao Minshen raised his hand, the leader on his left widened his eyes and looked at Boss Li.
Boss Li turned his head away guiltily, not daring to look him in the eye.
He also didn't expect that Xiao Minshen would discover it so quickly and solve it.
When the wise king saw it, he felt a little embarrassed.
At this time, Mo Yi came running over from a distance.
"Prince, are you okay?" He ran to Xiao Minshen.
"Didn't I ask you to clarify things with the virtuous king in advance? Where have you been?"
Mo Yi suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I was fooled because I didn't check carefully."
Xiao Minshen looked down at him, "How could you be fooled by someone?"
"Tell me, who is so bold as to deceive my guards?"
Mo Yi turned his head and looked carefully at the team around the wise king opposite.
Then, he pointed at the soldiers around the wise king and said, "That's him!"
