Gaotangzhou prison city. Qinbei Pavilion
"Master Prefect!"
Lin Ren and his men greeted Gao Lian at the door of the small cell.
"How is Chai Jin?"
Gao Lian looked at Lin Ren and asked.
"You still look like you're dying. It's been raining these past few days, and it seems like you've caught wind and cold."
Lin Ren said that in order to spare Chai Jin the physical pain, he specially asked Chai Jin to pretend to be sick in the dungeon.
Gao Lian reacted and walked directly into the dungeon, looking at Chai Jin who was "dead to die" with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Give him the shackles and drag him to the water gate!"
Gao Lian pointed at Chai Jin and ordered.
"Master Magistrate, it's raining so heavily and he's caught the wind and cold. If he's pulled out, he'll probably die."
Lin Ren said quickly.
"It's best if you're dead. I just want to show Sun Lei how powerful he is and see if he still dares to pour water into the city!"
Gao Lian snorted coldly.
The soldiers behind Gao Lian directly opened the cell door, pulled Chai Jin up, and restrained him with heavy shackles.
"Gao Lian, your end is coming!"
The disheveled Chai Jin looked at Gao Lian and laughed. He had heard from Lin Ren what happened in the past few days. Sun Lei had beaten Gao Lian and others to a pulp. Gaotang Province was almost broken now. Now Gao Lian Coming here in person just confirmed all this.
"It's not a bad idea to have you as my support, not to mention it's not certain who will die!"
Gao Lian glanced at Chai Jin, waved his hand and asked the soldiers to escort Chai in and out of the prison.
“I haven’t been out for a few days, it’s really spectacular!”
Chai Jin looked at the vast sea of Gaotangzhou and laughed. Gao Lian humiliated and tortured him. Looking at the state of Gaotangzhou now, Gao Lian's end was not much better than his.
"Spectacular? I will feel spectacular when I push you into the water later!"
Gao Lian glared at Chai Jin.
Lying down, Shui Gaoyan took Chai Jin and walked in the direction of Shuimen. During this period, he happened to pass by the Daming Mansion military and horse station.
"That's from Cangzhou Chai Daguan!"
Someone around Song Jiang had already recognized Chai Jin, and they were all whispering and pointing.
"Master Chai!"
Song Jiang looked at Chai Jin awkwardly. He didn't know what to do when they met under such circumstances.
"Is Song Gongming Ming? If it were before, I wouldn't be able to worship him if I wanted to accept his head. Unfortunately, now I am a prisoner and I am in heavy shackles, so I can't worship you."
Seeing Song Jiang in armor and commanding the army and horses, Chai Jin's face flashed with disappointment and turned to smile.
"Kozhifu, what are you doing?"
Song Jiang couldn't face Chai Jin, so he could only look at Gao Lian and ask why he suddenly brought Chai Jin up.
"Isn't Sun Lei going to flood our Gaotang Prefecture? I'll hold Chai Jin down at the water gate and expose his head to the water. If the water rises again, I'll let Chai Jin drown. Then it will be Sun Lei who kills him!"
Gao Lian looked at Song Jiang and said coldly, Daming Mansion is full of soldiers, Song Jiang's army is all Zhao'an army, and they used to be in the Jianghu. He knew that Song Jiang had some contact with Chai Jin in the past, and now he suspects that Song Jiang and others are also there. Conspired to save Chai Jin, and specially dragged Chai Jin to see Song Jiang's attitude.
"Song Xianfeng, what are you doing to rectify the army and horses?"
Gao Lian asked, pointing to Song Jiang and others.
"Go back to the magistrate, and follow the orders of Superintendent Li to rectify the army and horses!"
Wu Yong replied with a smile.
"Director Li? Humph!"
Gao Lian snorted coldly, seeing that the Daming Mansion army and horses were also preparing to leave. He thought about how warmly he welcomed everyone when they first arrived, but now he abandoned him when they encountered a small setback. It was really ungrateful.
Song Jiang watched Chai Jin being taken away by Gao Lian with a smile, and finally his face darkened.
"What does this high sickle mean? Does it embarrass us?"
Liu Tang looked at Gao Lian walking away and said angrily, "Jianghu is about loyalty. Chai Jin helped the poor, helped the poor, spread wealth, and often helped the heroes of the rivers and lakes. Now that Chai Jin is in trouble, not only can they not save him, but they will help frame Chai Jin." Man, isn't this a slap in the face of their "heroes"?
"Don't worry so much, just pack your things and get ready to go!"
Song Jiang sighed and said, now that he has made a choice, he can only go on.
"Chai Jin, don't blame me, your life or death is now in Sun Lei's hands."
Looking at Chai Jin who was locked under the water gate, Gao Lian laughed proudly.
"Gao Lian, I'll wait for you below!"
Chai Jin looked at Gao Lian and shouted.
…
As night falls, the heavy rain gradually stops.
"Out of town!"
Following Zeng Tu's order, six thousand cavalry from Zengtou City left the city directly from the north gate.
"Finally out of town!"
Zeng Mi looked at Gaotangzhou behind him and spat. Gaotangzhou had frustrated him to death in the past few days.
"Brother, why do we have to help them?"
Zeng Sheng looked at Zeng Tu and asked.
"Father also wants to establish his own power early. If we can have a military state belonging to the Zeng family, our strength will skyrocket."
Zeng Tu sighed and said, if it weren't for Gao Lian's conditions being too high, they would definitely have waded into this muddy water.
"What kind of military state do you want? Haven't the tribesmen in Liaodong all established a country? When they invade the Central Plains, what will we have?"
Zeng Suo said, the Jurchens are no longer slaves of the Liao Kingdom. The powerful Jurchens have defeated the Liao Kingdom in a row and conquered the Tokyo Road. They are now conquering the Jingdao. It is said that the battle is going smoothly.
"What do you know? Nowadays, the Jurchen tribes belong to the Jurchen Wanyan clan. Our family used to be a mature Jurchen, but we have been in the Central Plains for so many years and have not returned. If we don't have some strength, how can we have a place? The Jurchen tribes talk about strength. !”
Zeng Tu looked at Zeng Suo, Zeng Kui, and Zeng Shengdao. Among the five brothers of the Zeng family, he and Zeng Suo migrated from Liaodong with their father Zeng Nong in their early years. The three brothers were all born in the Central Plains and had no idea about the women from Liaodong. Real people's habits.
Girls who live in a cruel environment are really not kind people. Let alone aliens, it is common for members of the same race to kill each other in order to survive.
"We once had tens of thousands of troops on the market, aren't we strong enough?"
Zeng Kui waved the steel gun in his hand and said in disbelief that Zengtou City was very powerful. He heard his father once tell you about the situation of the Jurchens in Liaodong. The largest tribe only had ten thousand people, and the smaller tribes only had a hundred or ten people. They once said that this strength can be said to be proud of the Jurchen tribe.
"Report, the road ahead is flooded."
Just then a cavalryman came to report.
"Flooded? This road is on higher ground, how could it be flooded?"
Su Ding asked with a frown.
"The water source comes from the mountain. It seems that the river channel collapsed."
The soldier pointed to the mountain opening on the side and said.
"It's only half a foot, and it's not a lot of water. Let's go there while it's not raining now, otherwise it will be even harder to walk when it rains later!"
After asking about the situation, Zeng Tu directly ordered that he just wanted to leave this unfortunate place as soon as possible.
…
"The horse has entered the circle!"
Sun Lei looked at the cavalry advancing with torches in the dark night and said with a smile, because of the heavy rain for days, the road was slippery and muddy, and the horses were even more unbearable, so the Zengtou City soldiers and horses moved very slowly.
"Brother, we are all ready, just waiting for those people to enter the swamp."
Li Zhu said with a smile, right at the end of the road, a waist-deep water was waiting for the people in Zengtou City.
"The encirclement has been completed, but don't let these horses run away. These are all good things! As for those people in Zengtou City, if you can kill them, don't leave them alive. I don't have that much food to feed idle people!"
Sun Lei nodded and looked at everyone and said.
