"Left and right! Give me more strength to beat these guys! If you lose the yamen, you will be punished with death!"
On New Year's Eve, in Gao Qiu's house, big sticks as thick as an adult's arm were swung up and down. Several Forbidden Army soldiers were sweating all over in the winter, and some unlucky ones were beaten to death.
After getting the confession and knowing the whole story, Gao Qiu became even more furious. How could Gao Peng fall for this obvious trap?
"Unfortunately, there is no one in my Gao family. Gao Peng is already the closest blood relative to me. I originally saw him as a young man and wanted to adopt him as my adoptive son. We arranged for him to be married to several families and give me more boys as queens so that I could grow stronger. I belong to the Gao family. But I didn’t expect this guy to be so incompetent. He doesn’t even have one tenth of my brains. He is really a loser!”
But after all, blood relationship is an unavoidable hurdle. Even if Gao Peng is a big fat pig, in order to have offspring who are closest to him by blood, Gao Qiu can only hold his nose and admit it, even if he looks at it again Regardless of the pile of mush in Gao Peng's mind, the top priority is to save people first.
"Lieutenant, two have been killed, and the rest..."
Five living human lives were just like smoke and clouds in Gao Qiu's eyes. Looking at the blood stains flowing on the bluestone under the hall, he covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief in disgust, and ordered impatiently:
"This waste of a person who doesn't work hard enough to do his errands, who can even lose his own master, is just a waste of rice if he stays in the world. Don't ask any more questions. He just killed the account and dragged him out of the city to feed the wild dogs afterwards. They don't count. You did a good deed before you died!”
The military academy who stepped forward to ask questions felt nervous when he heard this, secretly thinking that he was a vicious lieutenant, but he did not dare to show it on his face at all. He just responded in succession, turned around and went down to the hall to dispose of the body.
"Send people quickly and leave the city early on the first day of the new year! Select the best soldiers in the army and use them quickly to find out the whereabouts of my son. We must rescue my son Gao Peng back to Tokyo at all costs!"
"I sincerely obey Taiwei Jun's order!"
Gao Qiugui was a Taiwei, but the higher he was in the imperial court, the less he dared to act recklessly on this annual New Year's Eve. No matter how anxious he is, he still has to wait until the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, when all the officials have entered the palace to congratulate him, and the city gates are wide open, before he can act.
Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the high-ranking officials took a short nap after watching the New Year's Eve. Before dawn, they were dressed neatly by the servants at home. Then they braved the cold wind and snow and rushed to the palace under the stars and moon to attend court.
According to the system of the country and the dynasty, there is a holiday on the first day of the first lunar month, but you must go to court. The court meeting on this day is one of the few major court meetings in the year. It can be said to be the first day of the new year. You cannot take any leave on this day. Those censors who are responsible for supervising the court rituals and shifts have their eyes widened more than anyone else. .
Captain Gao, who also had a pair of huge panda eyes, gathered in the huge worship procession and rushed to the Daqing Hall of the imperial palace.
Although it was the end of the Northern Song Dynasty at this time, the power of the imperial court was not declining, and there were many talented people in the palace commander's house. After receiving the orders from the Shangguan, who would dare to spend the New Year at home in peace, and after struggling until the city gate opened, he immediately rode around and started looking for him. Inquire.
With the good show that Zhang San and Li Si had previously staged deliberately at the city gate and outside Bajiaoyi, these experts naturally concluded that Gao Yanei must still be in the carriage, so they braved the severe cold and drove faster, following Zhang San, Li Si and others along the way. Crazy pursuit of his whereabouts.
After Zou Run and others left Bianjing, they took a boat and followed the river in the northeast direction. Unfortunately, the water along the road was not deep. The journey was originally only a few days, but it happened halfway because a certain section of the river had insufficient carrying capacity or was frozen. , or because of siltation, I had to sail a few more times, and I also paid for people to pull the fiber a few times.
After many twists and turns, we passed through Dingtao yesterday and arrived in Jeju today.
Lu Zhishen and Gao Yanei, who had suffered from water sickness and seasickness along the way, finally got used to it when they arrived here. Fortunately, Lu Zhishen, a big man, also got seasick. Otherwise, Gao Yanei, who was already bruised and swollen on the way, would have been beaten a few more times. As for Coach Zhang, he couldn't support his illness after getting on the ship. Although he didn't get worse, he was bedridden and had difficulty getting up. The worried Madam Lin and Jin'er were guarding the cabin day and night, but they didn't feel much.
Zou Run was sitting in the cabin, quietly thinking about the affairs of the village, when suddenly the boatman on the bow shouted: "Juye County has arrived!"
Zou Run perked up after hearing the words. When he arrived in Juye County, he was not far from his destination, Liangshanbo. The tense nerves of everyone on the boat relaxed, joy appeared on their faces, and they began to be in the mood to talk to each other.
"Brother, we will arrive at Liangshan soon. How are you going to deal with this guy?"
As he spoke, Lu Zhishen kicked Gao Yanei, who was squatting obediently in the corner of the cabin.
If we only judge a person by the criterion that he who knows the current affairs is a hero, although Gao Yanei may seem fat and stupid as a pig, there are also things worthy of praise in him. He went from being arrogant when he woke up after the effects of the sweat medicine, to being beaten up by Lu Zhishen and then carrying out his father to verbally threaten him, and then being beaten up by Lu Zhishen again. Since then, he has been a transparent person. characteristics.
In fact, Gao Yanei is not stupid. He understands in his heart that these people have spent so much effort to get him out so far. Naturally, they will not kill him easily. Since their lives are not worried, as long as Zou Run and others are there along the way, they will not kill him easily. By not speaking, he treats himself as mute.
He opened his mouth when he was served food and smiled at everyone, especially when facing Lu Zhishen, who had a fierce look on his face and was full of murderous intent. No matter how hard he was beaten, his oily face would still be full of wrinkles.
At this moment, after hearing the topic of what to do with himself, Gao Peng strained his ears in the corner for fear of missing a word.
"This is Lieutenant Gao's beloved one. The rare goods he carries are so valuable that he naturally has to pay a good price for them."
It turns out I want money! Gao Peng finally breathed a sigh of relief. His father, Gao Qiu, had so many of these things, and he was secretly happy at the moment.
"I don't want much. I just want a hundred good horses, five hundred crossbows, a thousand sets of armor, and a number of other supporting weapons. Gao Qiu will give it to you if you can. If it is enough, I will wait for it. I will send back a Gao Ya Nei who has both beard and tail. If he loses a horse and a bow, I will have to find some interest on this guy to come back, haha."
Zou Run's warm smile, like the spring breeze, fell into Gao Peng's eyes like a devil. He didn't expect that the person who kidnapped him was not a bandit, but a rebel!
Ordinary bandits are just looking for money, but this group of unparalleled villains dared to ask for weapons from the current captain! Darling, what happened to the Song Dynasty? Is it possible to finish it?
Looking at Gao Peng who was stunned and couldn't believe it, Lu Zhishen spat hard.
"Bah! This guy is so cheap!"
While they were talking on the boat, the boat unknowingly traveled more than sixty miles to the northwest, and finally arrived at the famous Hecai Town. At this point, the boat sailed into the vast Liangshan Mountains.
Zou Run and Lu Zhishen walked out of the cabin hand in hand and looked around at the expanse of white waves.
The huge lake is covered with a layer of cold smoke and mist. The smoke and the lake water blend together like glue and paint, connecting the whole world together, forming a magnificent picture. Large and small ships shuttle back and forth, and the big ones are canals. The smallest passenger boats are all fishermen's boats.
The vast water surface has magnificent waves, and when the oars of the boat are rocking, the water makes a "swishing" sound.
Zou Run called the ship's boss and asked him to raise a red flag on the mast. The ship's boss didn't know why, but for the sake of the silver ingot in Zou Run's hand, he still chose to do it.
When Lu Zhishen asked him why, Zou Run smiled and said nothing, but just told him that he could go back to the cabin and pack his luggage.
