Du Qi didn't waste any time along the way, and he rode at full speed. In less than two days, Du Qi had already arrived at the foot of Niuheng Mountain. He looked at the steep and rugged Niuheng Mountain and was quite amazed.
The northern region had always been relatively flat.
Most of them were endless plains.
But Niuheng Mountain in Puzhou was a rare and dangerous place. Even if Xiao Yuan Qi only had a hundred soldiers under his command, it was not easy to block thousands of troops with the help of Niuheng Mountain's dangerous terrain.
After all, Niuheng Mountain was easy to defend and hard to attack.
Du Qi looked around, jumped off the horse, tied the horse at the foot of the mountain, and climbed up together with Mordor. After walking less than ten steps up the mountain, they saw a strong man standing on the side of the mountain road, blocking the road.
The strong man held a sharp sword, and scolded: "This is the boundary of Niuheng Mountain, you are not allowed to go up. Boy, go back to where you came from. If you want to go sightseeing, go somewhere else. "
Du Qi was not old.
Especially in this era, it was not as technologically advanced as later generations, with the existence of the Internet. A person's appearance could be known by everyone. Today, although Du Qi was famous, in fact, there were very few people who had seen Du Qi.
Even if the people of Niuheng Mountain knew about Du Qi, no one had seen him before.
When they saw Du Qi, they just thought it was a sightseeing.
Du Qi faced the strong man, smiled, and said: "Please tell the head of Niuheng Mountain, Xiao Yuan Qi, that Du Qi from Chang 'an is here to visit, and I hope you can give me an audience."
"Du Qi?"
The strong man standing guard at the foot of the mountain heard it, and his eyes widened.
They were all ordered to prepare to intercept Du Qi's family, so they had been watching the foot of the mountain. They didn't expect that Du Qi would come before Du Ruhui's group.
The strong man on guard thought for a moment, and said: "Wait, we will go and report immediately."
He snapped his fingers.
In an instant, another young man ran out of the forest. The brawny man nodded, and the young man quickly ran up the mountain. The young man flew up the mountain. Soon, he arrived at the Hall of Brotherhood halfway up the mountain.
After seeing Xiao Yuan Qi, the young man quickly reported, "Leader, Du Qi is here. Du Qi is here."
Xiao Yuan Qi heard this and said, "Du Qi's family is here? I remember that the news I received said that there was still a day or two left. How did we suddenly arrive at the Great Bull Mountain? "
The young man said, "Big Leader, it's not Du Qi's family. It's Du Qi who came alone. Du Qi had already reached the foot of the mountain. He's here alone. He wants to see the Big Leader. "
"Interesting!"
Xiao Yuan Qi laughed when he heard that.
When Xiao Yuan Qi met Wang Yu, he accepted Wang Yu's money and agreed to kill Du Qi. But in fact, Xiao Yuan Qi and his subordinates wanted to see Du Qi first and see what was going on before making any decision.
It's good that he's here.
Xiao Yuan Qi ordered: "Invite him up. Remember, be polite and don't neglect him."
"Yes!"
The young man responded and immediately went to report.
Xiao Yuan Qi sat at the top of the hall, leaning on the tiger-skin chair. He rolled his eyes, thinking about Du Qi's intention of coming to the Great Bull Mountain. He guessed that Du Qi knew that the Wang Family was coming to the Great Bull Mountain.
Impossible!
Xiao Yuanqi denied this speculation.
After all, Wang Yu's coming to the Great Bull Mountain was a secret. No one had spread the news. Moreover, Xiao Yuan Qi believed that none of his subordinates would take the initiative to leak the information.
Xiao Yuan Qi had doubts in his heart, but he restrained his thoughts and waited quietly.
After a while, footsteps were heard.
Xiao Yuan Qi looked up and saw two figures coming from the entrance of the hall. They were Du Qi and Mordor. When Du Qi came to the door of the hall, he asked Moledo to stay at the door and walked in alone.
Du Qi stood still and cupped his hands: "I'm Du Qi. Nice to meet you, Big Leader Xiao."
Xiao Yuan Qi said: "Du Qi, you're an official and I'm a bandit. An official and a bandit are natural opposites. Now you've come to the Great Bull Mountain alone. Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you? "
Du Qi was calm and said confidently: "Big Leader Xiao is a man with a bottom line. He won't do such a thing. Ever since I entered Pu Prefecture, along the way, everyone said that Great Leader Xiao occupied Bull Hengshan Mountain. Although he was the tyrant of Bull Hengshan Mountain, he did not bully men and women. He never went down the mountain to rob ordinary people. He only collected tolls.
"Big Leader has a bottom line. He's a man with a military background."
Du Qi said: "A bandit who has been a bandit for many years can control himself. He doesn't offend people and can control his men. People like him are rare. So I believe in Big Leader Xiao. "
Xiao Yuan Qi was happy to hear that. As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling face. Moreover, Du Qi was a famous writer. Xiao Yuan Qi was quite proud to hear Du Qi praise him.
Xiao Yuan Qi said: "I don't kill or rob people because they are unarmed. But Mr. Du is different. You're an official. You want to kill me. "
"Wrong!"
Du Qi said: "I'm not the one who wants to kill you. I'm the one who brings hope to Big Leader."
Xiao Yuan Qi said: "What do you mean?"
After a pause, Xiao Yuan Qi said again: "You have to say it clearly. Don't talk nonsense. If you don't say it well or you can't convince me, you won't be able to leave the Great Bull Mountain this time. What's more, I've been bribed to kill Du Qi's family. "
Du Qi said: "The one who wants to kill me is the Wang family of Taiyuan. It seems that the Wang family has sent people to the Great Bull Mountain. "
Du Qi was testing the waters by saying this.
His enemies were not only the Wang family of Taiyuan, but also the Prince of Qi, Li Yuanji, and the Crown Prince, Li Jiancheng. These two also wished for Du Qi's early death and wanted nothing more than to kill Du Qi.
Xiao Yuan Qi said: "Mr. Du is really smart. That's right. The Wang family of Taiyuan has sent people to the Great Bull Mountain. They asked me to kill people of the Du family. Du Qi, if you don't say it well or you can't convince me, then you have to go first. Your parents will die first. "
Du Qi said seriously: "Since Head Xiao has accepted money and benefits from the Wang family, why don't you do it now?"
In fact, he was not in a hurry.
Since Xiao Yuan Qi was willing to listen to him and not kill him for the time being, then there was still room to turn things around. Especially he didn't expect that the Wang family had sent people to the Great Bull Mountain to bribe Xiao Yuan Qi to kill his family.
If he hadn't come to the Great Bull Mountain in advance, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Xiao Yuan Qi said: "You're alone on this mountain. You're like a turtle in a jar, a bird in a cage. You can't leave at all. So it makes no difference whether I kill you or not. It's the same whether I kill you sooner or later. So I'll keep you alive for the time being and give you a chance to talk. "
Du Qi said: "Head Xiao, let's not talk about my intention first. Can we talk about killing me first?"
Xiao Yuan Qi said: "I have plenty of time. Just say it."
Du Qi said: "Head Xiao, do you know that it was my plan to destroy the Tujue army at the Yanmen Pass and win the great victory? Because of my plan, the Tujue army of sixty to seventy thousand was wiped out and Jeli Khan of the Tujue was severely injured. "
"I know!"
Xiao Yuan Qi said seriously: "This is not a secret. Especially Li Daen once said that it was Mr. Du's plan that led to the great victory at the Yanmen Pass. So, Mr. Du, do you want to tell me that you've made contributions to the Tang dynasty and the people on the border? You're a hero. I can't kill you. "
Du Qi said: "Of course not. I'm not that bored."
