Qian Zhenpeng captured Niu Gao alive and returned to the city. Lieutenant General Jin Jie hurriedly came to pick him up. He saw Qian Zhenpeng's ugly face full of anger and complained: "I have joined the army since the Holy Duke, and I have been invincible in battle. Those who were originally Taoist The Song army is all trash, who would have expected that this group of evil ghosts would come out of here, they are so awesome! Xing Zhengyong, who is famous for his reputation, actually killed him, and Xu Ding was also captured by him. If I hadn't captured this evil spirit All your strength will be destroyed."
After hearing this, Jin Jie felt unhappy.
It turned out that this man was an officer of the Song Dynasty. When Fang La's army conquered the south of the Yangtze River and reached Suzhou, he led more than 500 troops from his army to fight. When they arrived at the formation, before they could fight, the 500 men shouted and left together. , Jin Jie was so angry that he charged into the formation with one horse and killed more than ten thieves in a row. Several thieves gathered together to besiege them, and they were captured after exhaustion.
The three kings, Fang Maang, loved him for his bravery and persuaded him to surrender face to face. At the beginning of the Jin Festival, he refused to die. Later, the bandits broke into the city and captured his wife and sister-in-law. Fang Maang said, "If you don't surrender, we will have to kill them." A woman was also put into the camp to make the soldiers happy."
Jin Jie had no choice but to endure humiliation and surrender to the rebel army. Because he was from Wujin County, he was made deputy general Qian Zhenpeng and guarded Piling County in Changzhou.
This man is a good person. Although he is a subordinate, he has gradually gained the trust of Qian Zhenpeng. Another deputy general, Xu Ding, has been following Qian Zhenpeng since he was the head of the capital. He is a close friend and a close friend of Jinjie. good.
Jin Jie hated Qian Zhenpeng for calling the Song army useless, so he brought him in without showing any signs of expression on his face. He diligently led Qian Zhenpeng's horse while saying something smooth: "This group of Song soldiers can indeed fight." , the young general was watching the battle on the city wall, and he was terrified. Not to mention the two extravagant sword wielders, the pen knife and the three-pointed knife, was this man who wielded the mace. How could he be defeated by ordinary generals? Didn't he personally say that Zhao Yi was Did he capture him? If General Qian hadn’t taken action, how could he have captured him so easily?"
After hearing this, Qian Zhenpeng felt relieved and waved his hands and said: "This guy is nothing more than that. That good-for-nothing Zhao Yi can't even stop me with three swords. What's the point of catching him?"
Jin Jie took the wind-splitting knife from him and helped him dismount, while smiling and saying: "Only a general can speak such bold words. The Twelve Gods of the South of the Yangtze River are famous, and his 'Taibai God' is not unworthy of his fame. It was extraordinary that the black man was able to capture him, but when he fell into the hands of the general, he just responded: The strong will have its own hand. In the final analysis, although there are many heroes under the command of the Holy Duke, when it comes to martial arts and sword skills, It’s hard to find anyone who can surpass the general.”
Hearing this, Qian Zhenpeng smiled slightly and waved his hand modestly: "Don't say this again in the future. You don't have to make people laugh. There are many talents under the command of Shenggong. Wang Shangshu is like the rebirth of Zhao Yun, Fang Jie is like the reincarnation of Lu Bu, Bao Guang Tathagata's power is astonishing, Master Bao Tian's flying sword is the best in the world, and Pang Wanchun's shooting skills are invincible... Hehe, even in terms of sword skills, I can't compare to Marshal Shi, at most I can keep pace with Si Xingfang."
Jin Jie shook his head repeatedly: "The general's words are too modest. I have heard that Marshal Shi has a precious sword that can chop through iron armor like rotten paper. How much more powerful can he be? If this sword is given to the general, he will be under Marshal Shi if he doesn't believe it." "
Qian Zhenpeng raised his head and smiled, and patted Jin Jie's shoulder affectionately: "Shi Bao and I have known each other for many years, but his ability is not just based on the sword. Hahaha, if someone talks like this, I will definitely think that he is flattering. It's just that Brother Jin has always been upright and honest, and he is outspoken. To speak like this is because you have never seen him take action, otherwise you would know that his ability is indeed slightly above mine."
Then he sighed and said: "Speaking of which, Shi Bao is here instead of Shi Bao in today's battle. There is nothing we can do. After all, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. Now Marshal Xing is killed in battle, Xu Ding is captured, and only you and me are left. The momentum is getting stronger and stronger." With little strength alone, he had to go to the three kings for help. The eight hussars under his command were all enemies of ten thousand men, and the thirty-two lieutenants were also able to fight. If they could recruit some help, they would be able to compete with the Song army. "
Niu Gao was already tied up by the bandits at this time. Hearing this, he laughed and said: "Go quickly, go quickly, there will be a few more people who will die, and the brothers will be happy to kill."
Qian Zhenpeng turned around, looked at Niu Gao, and said with a sneer: "Even if you are about to die, you still have a tough talk. Originally, Qian had good intentions and wanted to kill you, but now he has changed his mind! Brother Jin, go and escort him to the tower. In front of the Song army, chop it into pieces carefully, so that those Song soldiers know the consequences of violating our borders."
Niu Gao's expression changed greatly, and he stammered: "You, you are a bird, my grandpa just told you a joke, how can you still get on with it? He will chop me up if he behaves well, this, this is not a heroic act..."
Jin Jie hurriedly said: "General, you can't do this! If it's normal, there is no harm in beheading this guy. But now Xu Ding is still in the hands of the Song Army. If he really kills this guy, wouldn't the Song Army retaliate against Xu Ding?"
Niu Gao said quickly: "That's right. This brother is right. If you chop me up, your people will eat my brother and chop him into pieces. In this way, it seems that you have chopped me up, but in fact it is." You chopped up your brother with your own hands, you are so unloyal, how will the world view you?"
Qian Zhenpeng thought of Xu Ding and felt embarrassed for a moment. Hearing this guy's rants, he became angry. He used two big ear scrapers in his hands and beat Niu Gao's fat face until his face became swollen. He rubbed his hands and coldly snorted: "Let's go He was ordered into the prison car and kept under strict custody. When my brother Xu is rescued, he will behead this black fellow with his own hands." After saying this, he left angrily and went to rest in his mansion.
Jinjie sent people to push the prison cart, locked Niu Gao in, repelled the left and right, walked around the prison cart twice alone, looked at it strangely for a while, and whispered: "You are also interesting, since you are captured, shut up tight" Isn’t it a good idea to keep your mouth shut? If he really insisted on cutting you into pieces, wouldn’t he suffer in vain?”
Niu Gao said in a high-spirited manner: "What do you know, a thief? A good man is not afraid of life and death. How can people like you understand the behavior of a man like grandpa?"
Jin Jie was so angry that his eyesight went dark. He had never seen such a ignorant person in his life. He slapped himself in the face and said, "I told you to be troublesome. This black thief deserved to be chopped off, but you did it for him." .”
Niu Gao looked at it and laughed: "So you like this tune? Come on, let go of grandpa's hands and feet, and watch grandpa make a sound."
Jin Jie staggered and said angrily: "That's it, it's up to you to commit suicide."
He turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly heard Niu Gao shouting: "Leaving now? Are you really not going to let grandpa go? Think about it, except for grandpa, no one else will be captured."
Jin Jie couldn't help but pause, and asked in surprise: "What do you mean?"
Niu Gao chuckled, a hint of cunning flashed across his fat black face, and whispered: "You persuaded the man named Qian not to kill me, and then you drove the thieves away and looked at me weirdly for a long time. If you hadn't taken a fancy to me, Grandpa General Song’s identity, could it be that he is interested in grandpa’s ass?”
Jin Jie was startled and looked Niu Gao up and down: "What are you talking about?"
Niu Gao said with a smile: "Stop pretending. Grandpa saw you flattering the man named Qian in a gentle and melodious manner. Your skills are very profound. If you haven't been in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty for ten or twenty years, you will never be like this." Wait! Are you thinking of hedging your bets now? Let grandpa go secretly, so that he can protect you from death after the city is broken?"
Jin Jie was shocked and said: "What are you talking about? Madman, madman!" He turned around and ran away in a panic. Niu Gao laughed endlessly behind him.
When Jin Jie returned to his home in the evening, his wife Qin Yulan hurriedly came to greet her. She dragged her husband into the inner room and asked, "The officers and soldiers are here to attack. How is the battle going?"
Jin Jie said happily: "The officers and soldiers are only five thousand men. I think they are the vanguard, but the generals among them are really impressive. They killed Xing Zheng and captured Xu Ding. It's a good thing that I didn't go out into battle, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to escape the poisonous hands." . But Qian Zhenpeng is quite impressive. He stabbed to death a general from Runzhou and captured one of his generals."
Qin Yulan frowned and said: "No matter how outstanding the person is, you have always been loyal and righteous, so you had no choice but to succumb to the rebels. Since these officers and soldiers have extraordinary combat capabilities, why not find a way to sacrifice this city?" , to atone for our previous sins, wouldn’t it be good for my husband and I to find a stable place and live in peace?”
Jin Jie shook his head and said: "One's wealth and one's life should not be taken lightly. Let me think about it carefully."
Qin Yulan advised: "If you are a real man, you should cut it off. Your family has enjoyed Song Dynasty salary for many generations, how can you not think about repaying it?"
Jin Jie just shook his head and said nothing.
Qin Yulan was helpless, sighed, and went to serve the food to her husband. She wiped his head and face for him, washed his boots and feet, washed himself, and blew out the lamp to rest.
At three o'clock in the night, he suddenly heard a sharp knock on the door. Jin Jie jumped up and exclaimed: "The officers and soldiers are coming in."
The lady was startled, covered Jin Jie's mouth, and listened carefully: there was a knock on the door, but there was no sound of killing. She said to her husband, "I don't have to be frightened, sir. It's okay to sleep peacefully."
I got off the bed and opened the door, but it was my sister Qin Yulian who threw herself into her arms in a panic, crying: "Sister, you scared me to death, I want to sleep with you."
After hearing this, Qin Yulan said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! Although your brother-in-law and I raised you, you are now a sixteen-year-old woman, don't you know how to avoid suspicion? Your brother-in-law is still in the room, and you come in like this late at night Come on, what good things can you say if this spreads out?"
Qin Yulian hugged her sister and cried, "It's not that I don't know the world, it's just that I dreamed that a big fat black tiger was pressing me down, and I couldn't get out, so I was afraid to sleep alone."
Qin Yulan was stunned and couldn't help blurting out: "This is strange. I also dreamed just now that a black tiger held a gold seal in its mouth and walked into my house. He dropped the gold seal in the main hall and jumped into your room. I was frightened. But I was awakened by your knocking on the door. I don’t know what good or bad luck lies in such a strange dream.”
Her two sisters were the talkers unintentionally, but Jin Jie was the listener. She banged the bed and exclaimed: "That's it! So you two also dreamed about the black tiger! I also dreamed about it just now, and it was the black tiger with the title of The seal came in. I just picked up the gold seal, but the tiger went to the back hall. I was about to chase it when I was awakened by you - oh, I understand. It turns out that the girl's life and my future are all here. On people!”
There are different religions: the black tiger comes with a golden seal in his dream, and the jade lotus blooms on the golden festival. Lao Cao took Piling County lightly. Who can say that the blessed general has no great talent?
