The moonlight is bright and the stars are far away.

Xu Zong took out the night clothes from the package, put them on, and stuffed the package into the crevice of the cliff beside him. He moved up the mountain like a ghost.

There are still bandits on guard on the 15-meter-high watchtower, shining the strong light in their hands into the distance from time to time. There is a small room built on the watchtower, which can provide shelter from wind and rain.

"Ergou, don't stand outside, come in, no one will come."

There were bandits in the room who spoke. Since the officers and soldiers were defeated, no one had come here, so the bandits who were on guard lowered their vigilance.

Ergou looked around. It was pitch black and quiet. The strong light didn't reveal anything suspicious. He entered the room and found three bandits inside.

"Hurry up, you're the only one missing."

There were two dice in front of the three bandits. One of them put the dice into a bamboo tube, shook it a few times, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Buy big or small."

Several bandits took out some copper coins, put them on the table and started gambling.

Xu Zong was already close to the village at this time. When he saw the watchtower, his eyes showed surprise. He had seen a very tall object in front of the village before, but he didn't notice it from a distance just now. Now that he was closer, he realized that the watchtower was really tall.

Xu Zong has traveled a lot, even to a border town, but he has never seen such a tall building. Aren't they afraid of it collapsing if it's built so high?

Moreover, it was such a straight structure, without any support around it. Xu Zong couldn't figure out how it was built.

Just now, he saw a light shaking from a distance. Now that the light is gone, it will be easier for him to sneak in.

He approached quickly and jumped over the village wall with a light leap. He quickly glanced around and after confirming that there were no bandits patrolling, he sneaked along the shadows.

The interior of the village was larger than he had imagined. It would be quite difficult to find Zhang Zeshan and rescue him in such a large village.

Moreover, he didn't know Zhang Zeshan yet, and the Zhang family only gave him a portrait.

However, Agui and Acai told him which cell Zhang Zeshan was being held in.

"Thirteen from the left, thirteen from the left."

Xu Zong counted and found the thirteenth room on the left. He pushed the door gently and found it was not locked. He walked in quietly and saw a person lying on the bed.

Snoring sounds were heard, and the man was sleeping soundly. Xu Zong slowly approached and took out the portrait in his arms. After comparing it, his face lit up with joy. Although the painting was relatively abstract, there was some resemblance. This man was Zhang Zeshan.

Listening to the other person's snoring, Xu Zong was speechless. He thought that this person was really kind-hearted. He could actually sleep so soundly in a bandit's den.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Zeshan opened his eyes in a daze, and saw a man with a scar on his nose and a blue-gray stubble on his chin smiling at him.

If someone stands by your bed in the middle of the night and looks at you and laughs, you will be scared to death. Zhang Zeshan is no exception. He shivers all over, his heart beats wildly, and he is about to shout out, but Xu Zong covers his mouth with his hand.

"Shh~"

Xu Zong made a gesture to keep quiet and whispered, "Don't be afraid. I'm here to save you on your father's orders. Come with me and I'll take you out."

After that, he slowly loosened his hand and said, "Please clean it up, and be quick."

After Xu Zong finished speaking, he went to the door to check, then turned around and found Zhang Zeshan still lying in bed. He couldn't help but frowned, "Master Zhang, get up quickly, don't dawdle."

"My father asked you to come?"

"Yeah, otherwise why would I risk coming here? Hurry and get dressed."

Xu Zong urged, and Zhang Zeshan said nothing more. He got out of bed, dressed, and then took out the electric baton from under the pillow.

He shamelessly asked Pei Yun for this, mainly because he liked the fact that the electric baton had a flashlight function, which made it more convenient for him to get up at night.

Xu Zong saw Zhang Zeshan holding a stick, but he didn't care. He was a martial artist, and although all his skills were in his legs, he was just a weakling from a noble family and couldn't be hurt even with a knife, let alone a stick.

He now just wanted to complete this order quickly so that he could get the money later. He hadn't received such a big order for a long time. After getting the money, he could go to Shudu to have a good time.

The girls in the brothels in Shudu are much prettier than those in Qingyang County.

"Big... Hero, you scared me just now and my legs are a little weak. Can you use this stick to lead me?"

Zhang Zeshan said this as he extended the electric baton over.

"Don't bother. I'll carry you."

Xu Zong looked down on them. The nobles were all trash. I just woke you up, didn't I? You were so scared that you couldn't walk. I don't look scary at all.

He walked over, and instead of reaching for the electric baton, he put his arms around Zhang Zeshan's waist, turned him sideways, held him under his armpits, and walked out the door.

Zhang Zeshan suddenly felt a strong wind blowing on his face, and the scenery in front of him quickly receded. He was shocked. He could run so fast with a person. Where did his father invite this expert from?

Seeing that Xu Zong was concentrating on running away and not paying attention to him, Zhang Zeshan slowly placed the electric baton against Xu Zong's chest.

"Well, what are you doing?"

Xu Zong's perception was still very sharp. He looked down and saw the black stick against his belly button. He was about to ask Zhang Zeshan to take the stick away.

There was a flash of light in his eyes.

Sizzle~

Xu Zong's body instantly stiffened, as if struck by lightning, and he fell forward uncontrollably. Zhang Zeshan, who was tucked under his armpit, was also thrown out and fell heavily to the ground, grimacing in pain.

Zhang Zeshan climbed up and saw Xu Zong twitching all over. He went over and hit him with another stick. Xu Zong's whole body was smoking and he fainted.

Zhang Zeshan heaved a sigh of relief, looked at the unconscious Xu Zong, then looked at the electric baton in his hand, and chuckled twice, "This electric baton is really extraordinary. It allows me to deal with warriors. It is worthy of being a fairy weapon."

Then he spat at Xu Zong.

"You still want to take me back? Dream on." After kicking Xu Zong and seeing no response, Zhang Zeshan returned.

…

Xu Zong slowly opened his eyes and felt sore and weak all over, as if he had been hit from head to toe with a hammer.

He tried to move his hands and feet and found that he could still move them, but his muscles were still twitching, especially in his chest, as if the tingling sensation of the electric current still lingered.

Thinking of what happened before, Xu Zong couldn't help but get furious. I came here to save you with good intentions, but you actually plotted against me.

"woke up."

Just then, a sound was heard. Xu Zong was startled and realized that he was not in the wild. He saw a pair of feet and the crackling sound of burning torches.

Xu Zong's heart tightened, thinking that he had been captured by bandits. He looked up and saw a young man sitting on a tiger-skin chair in front of him, looking at him with a half-smile.

Next to the young man, Zhang Zeshan, the person he wanted to save, had a smug look on his face.

It’s over!

Nothing good will happen if you fall into the hands of these bandits. Your life will be in danger.

Xu Zong glared at Zhang Zeshan, this bastard was so insidious, he cursed all the ancestors of the Zhang family in his heart, thinking that the Zhang family was setting up a trap on purpose to trick him into it.

I haven't offended the Zhang family, why are you trying to trick me?
