Final Chapter. 273

Guo Xing, who was lying flat on the water, felt the soreness caused by the river water soaking into his eyes, and for a while, he had the urge to cry. Yao thought that he attacked Youbei twice, and when he set out on the expedition, he was so high-spirited and scolded Fang Xuan. But no matter what kind of proud record he has played and what kind of winning game he has laid, he will be inexplicably defeated in one fell swoop at the moment when he is only one step away from winning a big victory.

Moreover, he led the army to attack twice, and he had already chosen the completely opposite strategy of marching, and finally got the same result: this was the case with the Eastern Customs before, and the same is true now from Qingshan City.

As the so-called victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, Guo Xing is now able to accept defeat calmly; But he desperately wanted to know where his mistake was......

Guo Xing silently shed tears while drifting farther and farther away with the water; The cries for help and the noise in his ears gradually died out, and his consciousness gradually began to blur as the water swayed......

I don't know how far he drifted, and in a trance, Guo Xing only felt that the back of his head lightly hit a wooden board, making a crisp sound of "bang". In a state of confusion, he was struck by this blow and suddenly came to his senses; His hands subconsciously raised wildly, and he actually knocked on one side of the ship's barrage......

"What a obscurity! The fish didn't take the bait, and it hit a "down the river". That's it, I'll see if it's alive or dead......"

a lean man in a small coat and a hat on his head, behind a fishing rod set up on the bow of the boat; Holding a dry tobacco pouch, he walked slowly to the side of the boat. He lowered his head and looked at the side of the boat, just in time to meet Guo Xing, who was pale and puffy-skinned......

"Whew, finally saved! I'm still alive, so why don't you drag me onto the boat first? ”

Looking at Guo Xing's flattering smile, the fisherman tilted his head, muttered "Count your fortune", and then reached out and fished Guo Xing out of the water. Guo Xing, who was a man of two lives, lay flat in the cabin on all fours, barely gasping for a few breaths, and then cleared his throat, and his mouth was nonsense:

"Brother Xie rescued him, Xiao Ke's name is Guo Zhongping, and he is a Confucian student in Yanjing City; Recently, I have encountered chaotic soldiers and robberies so far, and I can only jump into the river in order to survive. Fortunately, Brother Tai came to the rescue, and the grace of life is like reconstruction; It's a pity that he was robbed by the rebels, he was shy and destitute in his pocket, and his great kindness could not be repaid. I wonder if the grace can give him his name so that he can recognize him in the future? ”

"Hey, for all your efforts, is there anything to thank for? I'm a fisherman, named Xiao Fu. ”

Guo Xing nodded, and then sat up strongly:

"Xiao Engong is above, Xiao Ke will definitely set up an immortal tablet for you in the future, get up three incense sticks in the morning, and kowtow nine times at night, praying to the heavens for a hundred years of longevity and boundless blessings. Ignorance...... Is there any food left in the cockpit that is unbearable for hunger in the lower belly...... It made Eun Gongjian smile......"

Strictly speaking, Guo Xing's self-proclaimed Guo Zhongping is not a lie, after all, this is his expression when he was studying. Moreover, the eldest young master of the Guo family is a famous family, and since he was a child, he began to study literature and martial arts, and he is a young talent with both civil and military skills; Now he is playing the difficult Beiyan scholar, and there is no flaw at all.

After the fisherman Xiao Fu heard his words, he waved his hand helplessly, pointed to a small pot on the charcoal stove at the stern and said:

"Big fish can't be eaten for you, these are all fresh goods ordered by other restaurants; There was a small trash fish stewed in the pot that couldn't be sold for a price, and there was a baggage next to it, which was filled with dry cakes, so you can eat that if you are hungry. ”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Fu didn't pay attention to him anymore, picked up the fishing rod in his hand, and a big carp jumping around alive, and suddenly jumped out of the water!

Guo Xing, who was dizzy and weak, reluctantly moved to the charcoal stove, and hurriedly opened the coarse cloth bag, revealing a stack of dry cakes inside. At this moment, he no longer cares about the cultivation of a literati or the dignity of a general, so he just frantically stuffs food into his mouth. The bitter cracks cut his mouth and gums, and the saltiness of the blood and the sweetness of the wheat flour blended into one in his mouth, and aroused his long-suppressed appetite......

And Xiao Fuer could hear the sound of coughing and chewing behind him, and when he looked back and saw his gobbling appearance, he also frowned and sighed. Then he got up and walked to the stern of the boat with his tobacco pouch in his hand, snatched the half of the dry cake that had not been stuffed into his mouth, and reached out to lift the lid of the pot......

Ooh!

As the fragrant water steam rises, a pot of soup with red and bright river water stewed miscellaneous fish is presented in front of Guo Xing.

Countless fresh fish of all colors are neatly stacked in this small iron pot; In the middle of the two circles of miscellaneous fish, there are also various kinds of wild mushrooms stewed, covered with a handful of clear and translucent vermicelli; At the bottom of the pot is a shiny, thick dark red broth, which is gently roasted by charcoal fire, constantly tumbling into mischievous bubbles, and exuding a refreshing aroma that is appetizing.

Such an affordable delicacy instantly defeated Guo Xing, who had not eaten hot food for many days, and moved him almost to tears again.

"No one will rob you, my biscuits, soak them in soup until they are soft and then eat them, and they won't prick your mouth." In addition, these fish are already stewed, so you don't need to prevent the fish bones from piercing your mouth......"

Before Xiao Fu finished speaking, Guo Xing immediately threw the dry cake into the pot, and directly pulled out a small crucian carp, stuffed the whole one into his mouth and chewed it vigorously.

As Xiao Fu introduced, this fish has been stewed until the skin is charred and crispy, and the meat is as soft as cotton wool, which is very good for the mouth; The various wild mushrooms that have soaked up the fish soup are soft and juicy, and they are accompanied by soft and slippery chews; And the dry dough cake, which was originally hard and prickly, is now soaked in salty and rich juice; Paired with each other, they seem to complement each other exceptionally. In the face of such a delicacy, Mo said that he Guo Xing had already lost his soul from hunger; Even on a normal day, he couldn't resist such temptations.

Like a storm and clouds, the dry cakes the size of six faces are all in the stomach; And the small iron pot that stewed the fish was also wiped clean by him with cakes, and not even a drop of oil soup remained. Finally full of food and drink, Qin Bari Guo Xing, only felt that the dizziness of happiness continued to come from his brain, and he relied on his last consciousness to force himself to say thank you, then his head was crooked, he snored loudly on the board, and fell asleep.

Xiao Fu put on the fishing rod again, stepped forward with a cigarette pouch, and patted him on the face vigorously; Seeing that Guo Xing didn't react, he turned around and walked to the stern of the boat and lit a dim lantern.

After about a quarter of an hour, three clippers came across the river, and a Qi Yuan military officer wearing the leather armor of the captain stepped onto the stern of Xiao Fu's boat, bent down to make a careful identification, and almost didn't grin the corners of his mouth to his ears:

"Tiger head waist seal...... Isn't this Young Marquis Guo? It is said that his martial arts are really good, how did you hold him? ”

"A pot of fish, six dried cakes mixed with sweat medicine, the market price is less than one or two silver."

"Tsk, your life is so good! The tens of thousands of brothers of our Qi Yuanjun have been busy for dozens of days and nights, black and white, but this fattest big fish has jumped onto your boat by itself! Treat, you have to have a treat! ”

Xiao Fu nodded with a smile, bent down and picked up a small knife for cutting fish and scraping scales, slowly walked to Guo Xing's side, and stabbed four times with his hands and feet, cutting off all the tendons of the opponent's hands and feet. Then, he washed the blade and arm with river water, pointed to Guo Xing, who was bleeding, and said:

"You've packed it up, carry him away. I don't have enough fish today, so I'll have to catch it a little longer......"

Xiao Fu, the head of the fishing company on Youbei Third Road, turned the young marquis Guo, who was both civil and military, and a handsome general, into a complete waste; The old-fashionedness of his methods and the accuracy of his position recognition made this veteran of Qi Yuanjun ashamed.

The other party regained his expression, bent down and stretched out his hand, and just wanted to pick up Guo Xing and throw it at the other boat, but was suddenly interrupted by Xiao Fu's words:

"Slow, forgot something......"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Fu stretched out his hand and opened the placket of Guo Xing's half-dried front coat, picked up the knife again, and stabbed a shallow "ink" character......

At dawn, Li Zilin, the governor of Dongyou Road, was ordering troops in the military field of the school, and suddenly a herald came to report:

"Report! Li Du, before and after the ugly time last night, the enemy chief Guo Xing was captured; Now that he has been escorted by the captain of the sixth battalion to the outside of the Great Wilderness City, do you want to put this person in prison and detain him, and when he wakes up, he will be tortured? ”

Li Zilin wanted to nod his head in agreement, but his brows suddenly frowned, and he shook his head and said:

"Guo Xing's son is implicated and cautious, and we have no right to interrogate. Now you go to the Sanshan Dart Bureau in the north of the city, hang up a "live dart", and hand over Guo Xing to them to be escorted to Fengjing City and sent to His Majesty for the royal trial. ”

This person was ordered to return, and Li Zilin held up his helmet and armor, tightened the sword at his waist again, and stepped onto the platform of the colonel.

In addition to Li Zilin, there is also a strong man from Mobei standing on the podium. This person was tied by several ropes like a rice dumpling, and his eyes and mouth were also tightly sealed with strips of cloth, but he was always fearless, still holding his head high to meet the comfort of the warm sun.

After Li Zilin walked up to the podium, he kicked three times in the crook of the opponent's knee, but still failed to knock him down.

Li Zilin sneered, turned around and took a golden hammer from the weapon rack, rounded his arm, and smashed the opponent's knee; Then, he changed into a short axe, reached out and dragged the rattail of the Mobei man, and slashed at his neck......

From beginning to end, Li Zilin didn't even say a word to him.

Because the posture of the two was inconvenient to exert force, Li Zilin chopped three times, and finally Hu Legen's head was cut off; Then, he raised his hand and threw his head down from the worship platform, raised the banner of the Youbei King stained with the blood of Hulegen, and shouted:

"Soldiers, go with so-and-so!"

With the family background left by Li Deng, coupled with Li Zilin's secret re-organization and training, today's Qi Yuan Army has passed through the stage of reorganizing and reorganizing and reorganizing, and has become an army in the true sense of the word. And their first battle was to cross the river under the emperor's order, completely clear the northern border of Zhongshan Road, and recover the lost territory in the north.
