Gu Chen intentionally dragged Qi Heng's Ninth Regiment into this, naturally for his own reasons.
Actually, it was very easy to convince Qi Heng, there was no need to find Guo Duo as a lobbyist.
Currently, Qi Heng's position in the Feng Country was already very high. He was a dignified Regiment Chief, the only thing he lacked was prestige.
This time, Meng Luo's young master was kidnapped, and it was no small matter. If he could really save his, then it would undoubtedly raise his prestige by a large amount.
This was a good opportunity to earn fame without effort. How could Qi Heng miss it?
Gu Chen's estimation was not wrong. When he found Qi Heng, and asked him for a favour, Qi Heng did not think much of it, and immediately agreed while patting his chest.
That night, after the arrival of Chen Xiang, Meng Luo brought along the gold and silver that he had borrowed from Tang Yin to the place where they had arranged for the ransom to be paid. He was accompanied by four henchmen dressed up as coachmen, and the other one was Meng Tian who was dressed as a servant.
The kidnappers' intentions were unclear, they said they wanted to ransom, but who knew if they had other plans, he was not at ease with letting his old man go alone, he wanted to follow him, but in the end, Meng Luo could not force him, and could only nod his head and agree.
Meng Luo, Meng Tian and their group of six took a total of five carriages. Other than the Meng father and son carriage, the other four carriages were filled with gold and silver. Without a word on the way out of the city, they successfully arrived at the place where the ransom was paid.
He was in a clearing in the forest, twenty steps square, surrounded by a dense forest. When they arrived, there were already people waiting here.
They were four men in black of varying height and stature. They were all dressed in black, and they had black boots with thin soles. Their faces were covered with black scarves, and only their glittering eyes could be seen from their bodies.
Seeing the four people, Meng Tian's heart trembled, even without using Arts of Clairvoyance, just by looking at the Spirit Pressure that was being released from their bodies, he could feel that they all had extraordinary Spiritual Martial Cultivation.
He glanced at the four men in black for a moment, then jumped down from the carriage, raised his head and asked: "Is my young master in your hands?"
None of the four people replied. After a long while, when Meng Tian was about to ask again, one person walked out from the group of people. He took two steps forward, and asked with a low and ice-cold voice: "Have you brought the things that we want?"
It really was the kidnapper! Meng Tian took a deep breath and pointed behind him: "Twenty thousand silvers, two thousand gold, not a single coin less, all in the carriage."
Upon hearing these words, the other party's eyes lit up, emitting a peculiar luster. That was the glory of seeing money.
This was not an act, but an instinctive reaction. Twenty thousand taels of silver and two thousand taels of gold. Since they were young, they had never seen such a large amount of money. It would be a lie to say that they were not moved at all.
The leading man in black robes stopped for a moment, looked up and down at Meng Tian, and asked: Who are you? The one we want to see is Meng Luo. "
Meng Tian laughed and said: "What you want is money, now that I have brought the money, can you let them go? Where is my young master locked up? "Speak!"
"Before we meet Meng Luo, we won't tell you anything!" The leader of the men in black was adamant.
Meng Tian was secretly suspicious, these kidnappers did not care whether the gold and silver he brought were real, why was it that they repeatedly requested to see their father?
Without waiting for him to speak, the carriage's curtains opened and Meng Luo walked out from the carriage. He shouted at the black clothed man: "I am Meng Luo! This old man has already brought the gold and silver you have asked for. Now, you should at least let Meng Chong go, right? "
The four men in black looked at each other, then nodded their heads. The leader raised his hand and clapped three times, and with a clear sound, two more men in black came out from the forest.
One of them was even carrying a bag that was as round as winter.
The two of them walked over, and with a flick of his arm, they threw the parcels in front of Meng Luo and Meng Luo. The Meng father and son were shocked. Meng Luo asked subconsciously, "What is this?"
Meng Tian did not ask any further as he suddenly had a bad premonition. He quickly squatted and untied the package. Inside was a bloody head. The face of the head was ferocious and terrifying, but one could still vaguely see that it was Meng Chong's decapitated head.
Meng Tian saw his brother's head with his own eyes. His head buzzed as if he had been struck by lightning, and he stood rooted to the spot.
At the same time, Meng Luo who was at the side also saw the appearance of the severed head. The old man's body trembled, as if he had all his strength sucked out of him in that instant, and he fell onto the ground lifelessly.
"You only want money. Why did you kill my brother?" Meng Tian lowered his head, making it difficult for others to see his expression, but they could see droplets of water constantly dripping from his face to the ground.
From his trembling voice, it could be determined that his grief and indignation had already reached the extreme.
"He saw our appearances, so he had no choice but to kill him." The leader of the men in black said casually, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.0
"You all ?" Meng Tian suddenly raised his head, his fair and clear face was already covered with tears. His eyes were red and shot out a gaze as sharp as knives.
Before he even got close to the man in black, he had already gripped his sword in his hand and completed his spiritualization. When he arrived in front of the man in black, he swung his sword at Hua Shan with all his might.
Clang! He was fast, and the man in black didn't slow down either. He drew his sword, spiritualized his body, and raised his sword to block. Everything was done in one go. The two spirit swords collided, emitting an ear-piercing golden sound. In the dark night, the fireballs that shot out from the collision were particularly dazzling.
"Today, all of you will die!" The two swords clashed against each other and did not separate for a long time. Meng Tian grinded his teeth and roared at the black clothed man, at the same time, spirit energy spread out from his body, enveloping his entire body. In an instant, the spirit energy turned into spirit armor and tightly wrapped around his head and torso. On the other side, the black-clothed man leading them seemed to have also completed Spirit Armored Materialization at the same time. After that, the two of them engaged in a battle to the death.
Meng Tian and the black clothed man started to fight, and the four hanger-ons that accompanied them all stood around Meng Luo. One of them extended his hand into his clothes, took out a gun, and started to fire.
"Kill!" The rest of the black-clothed men either drew their blades or pulled their swords, and rushed towards Meng Luo. The one-on-one battle between Meng Tian and the black-clothed man also turned into a chaotic fight between the two.
The four hanger-ons that Meng Luo had brought with him were all top class experts in the Prime Minister's Residence. Each of them had strong spirit skills, but the black clothed man's spirit skills were clearly superior, and with the numbers outnumbered the hanger-ons, he firmly held the upper hand.
As for the letter cannon the hanger-on had released, it had attracted the Ninth Regiment that was already waiting several kilometers away. Regiment Chief Qi Heng personally went up on stage and rushed over with five thousand Heavy Cavalry s.
Without waiting for Heavy Cavalry to arrive at the scene, when they reached the forest, they were attacked by the black clothed men. The first black-clothed person to appear was holding a spirit spear. He jumped down from the treetop. While he was still in midair, his spirit spear had already swept out.
The two Heavy Cavalry leading the charge were hit in the chest by the spirit spear. The two people screamed as they led their horses and flew backwards. After they landed, the two struggled, but were unable to stand up.
The strength of the black-clothed person's spirit spear was not small, and it was also because of the thick armor on their bodies that they were able to save their lives. However, after the two of them fell to the ground, the life-saving armor became a heavy burden.
Seeing that there was an enemy ambush from within the forest, the Heavy Cavalry immediately stopped moving forward, and quickly retreated, gathering into a group, listing out a battle formation that could attack and defend at the same time.
By the time they had gotten into formation, the man in black, who had ambushed them earlier, was also nowhere to be seen. To the cavalry, the forest was definitely one of their nightmares. Not only was their high mobility greatly reduced, but the trees had also greatly blocked their line of sight.
The sounds of battle could already be heard from the middle of the forest, but his men did not move. Qi Heng raged and shouted at the people around him, "They're just a few kidnappers, what kind of battle formation are you going to set up for me? Charge!"
As he gave the order, everyone started to move, and the five thousand Heavy Cavalry began to charge towards the center of the dense forest.
As soon as they moved, the man in black appeared again. Some came out from behind the tree, some came out from the grass, and some directly jumped down from the tree.
As the black-clothed men appeared one after another, the cries of shock and alarm rose and fell within the Heavy Cavalry team. From time to time, someone would fall down, lie down on the ground, and struggle to stand up again.
Before he had even taken twenty steps, more than a hundred heavy cavalry soldiers had fallen from their horses. Qi Heng was furious and angry.
He also wanted to see what kind of people were the criminals who made his carefully trained Heavy Cavalry suffer losses in succession, and what kind of abilities they had.
He took the lead and rushed to the front, and not long after, there was a black-clothed man who locked onto him. Following two whistles, one of the black-clothed men descended from the tree, and the other one shot out from his In Grass.
If it was anyone else, they would have been caught off guard. However, Qi Heng's Soul Wu was too strong, so he sat on the horse and did not move like a mountain. When the attacks of the two black-clothed men were about to reach him, he swung his Nine Revolutions Soul Saber up and down at the speed of lightning.
Clank, clank! The person who tried to sneak attack with his In Grass was struck by Qi Heng's heavy blade until his wrist became numb, and he was forced a few steps back. As for the person who jumped down from the tree top, he was pushed back two meters by Qi Heng's blade, so how could he jump down from the tree top and be bounced back?
"Humph!" "A lowly person dares to compete with the sun and moon?!" With a sneer, Qi Heng swung his arms, releasing the wind above his head.
