Chapter 196: Follow the Action
The pheasant was kicked in the stomach by a hoof of charcoal, and it happened that there were no bones here and there was flesh and skin. But he kicked the pheasant's intestines so much that he seemed to be rolled, and he fainted to death in a sharp pain. At this time, he had already woken up, and he also saw the embarrassed appearance of his subordinates in his eyes, and saw that the shopkeeper went to the store to bring out a bucket of water, and said that he couldn't pretend to be dead anymore, so he coughed and opened his eyes.
Gao Daren said, "How does it taste?" ”
The pheasant said, "I told you to tie it up, and what do you say!" If you have the guts, let me go and let me compare with you alone. He just said it casually, and he was also temperamental, and it was expected that this tall man would not just let him go, but just said that he looked better on his face.
Who knew that Lord Gao said to the people around him, "Let him go." Then Duoduo ran up and turned the pheasant over and untied the rope from him. The pheasant tried to stand up slowly, but except for the abnormal soreness of the abdominal muscles, there was no discomfort elsewhere. He thought about what he had just said, and whether he should compare himself with this person.
Master Gao seemed to see his thoughts, and said, "I am so strong here that even if I defeat you, I will still not accept it, so you get up, take care of your spirits, and when you return to Futu City, you will borrow soldiers and horses from your father Khan, and I will compare with you again." ”
Lord Gao said unhurriedly, startling Feng Zheng first, and hurriedly came up and suggested, "Our Liangzi is over, Lord Gao, do you want to let him go back?" Isn't it a return to the mountains? ”
The people around Master Gao are also thinking that if they let the pheasant go, eighty percent of Lord Gao will go home, where people are not familiar with the place, and these five guys are from that side. The strength of the dozens of guards here is not enough to ensure the safety of the herd.
Master Gao said, "I don't need to tie them with a rope, I can run if I want to." Let me go back like this, so that people can look down. Saying that, Haha, his subordinates also put down the four people and untied the ropes.
The pheasant is strong in blood, and he is also regarded as the No. 1 brave person in Futu City and the small city near the left, but he didn't expect to be so despised by Lord Gao, and the injustice in his heart can be imagined. But Master Gao no longer paid attention to him, and said to the shopkeeper, "Did they let them sell this carriage to you?" ”
The shopkeeper, a white-faced man in his forties, replied, "Lord Hui, I paid twelve taels of silver to buy it." The tall man asked, "To whom did the money go?" The shopkeeper turned to look at the man who had been splashed with so much water.
When the man heard this, he took out the silver from the pocket of his bosom and threw it into the ground. The shopkeeper picked it up and heard Master Gao say, "In a while, the two Li sisters will take the car back, and Chen Zhutou and the three of you will escort them home." Chen Zhutou agreed again and again.
After resting for a while, Lord Gao gave the order to set off, aiming at the Poplar River.
Lilan got up, went to the carriage to see that the things she bought in the Longquan Pavilion were still there, and hurriedly said to Master Gao, "When will Lord Gao go to the Wentang Hotel again to take a dip?" ”
Before Gao Junshou could answer, the shepherds under him shouted when they heard it, "We said that Lord Gao didn't even glance at it when he was in Longquan Pavilion, it turned out that he had already had a good place to go, and he was still bluffing us." Lilan smiled and beckoned her sister to get into the car.
But Lirong stood there still, and her sister greeted her twice and ignored it. She caught up with Master Gao, who was riding on the charcoal fire at the moment, looked at her condescendingly and asked, "If you don't go home, what are you going to do with us?" ”
Lirong said, "Lord Gao, I'm just going to go home," Lord Gao remembered that she had said that her home was in Tiandi City, and it seemed that this had nothing to do with her. If people want to go home, can they manage it? So he asked, "I don't know what's the urgency when I want to go home suddenly." ”
Lilan also came along, but she knew what her sister was thinking. However, the tall man has a long way to go to the Baiyang River, and he has just offended the pheasant, and the good luck ahead is uncertain. And Lirong going with her will only cause trouble for the tall man. So Lilan came up and whispered to her sister, "If you wait for him, you just have to go back to my hotel and wait, why hurry!" ”
And Lirong seemed to have made up her mind, and said back to the tall man, "I am here to pull the old father and mother of the family to Jiaohe County, and leave Tingzhou from now on." The pheasant listened from afar, and there was a faint loss in his heart.
Master Gao said, "Even the family moves, the big car is small, how can you do it alone?" If you insist on going, I will send two shepherd brothers to help you then. When Lirong heard Lord Gao say this, she obviously agreed, and replied happily, "Where is there anything, just two old men, and it is enough to hire two donkeys, and there is nothing to bring." ”
Master Gao asked, "Then what are you going to ride when you come back?" Lirong thought about it, she was a donkey, and listened to the tall man, "Duoduo, find a more honest horse for Miss Lirong to ride." ”
The five masters and servants of the pheasant were no longer tied, and the tall man was a good talker, and he didn't verify the security bureau on the way forward, so he let them ride their horses and walk together in the middle of the team. That means, you can go as you like, I didn't put you in my eye sockets, which made Pheasant Lin feel a little despised again.
Jinsha Ridge is a branch of Bogda Ridge here, the main vein of Bogda Ridge disappears in front of 160 miles, and from this place separates a T-shaped residual vein, turning to the southwest, just separating Tingzhou and Xizhou.
At the beginning, Emperor Taizong did not take advantage of the victory to take Futu City, in addition to the bet with Wei Zheng, he also took into account the military influence of this Jinsha Ridge. The mountains here are high and the roads are far away, which is not suitable for the army to pass through, and even if the army passes, what should the grain and grass carts do on the mountain road that only allows one horse to pass through in the narrowest place?
In the first month, Guo Xiaoke, the governor of Xizhou, led a large army to quell the rebellion in the Baiyang River Valley, which was also lightly armed, without bringing grain and grass, and the so-called army was only 1,500 people.
Therefore, under the nose of the ambitious Emperor Taizong, it is a miracle that the Ashina thin cloth and his 10,000 people in Futu City can survive to this day.
Along the way, the trail became narrower and narrower, and the team gradually changed from two horses to one horse and continued to advance. There was a smarter one under Pheasant's hand, and he took an opportunity to say to Pheasant, "This is the best place to escape, why don't we leave?" Pheasant Lin nodded slightly. After here, run forward for thirty miles to reach Futu City, as long as you get there, you are still afraid that he will chase you?
So the five of them secretly colluded clearly, and gradually squeezed to the front of the team.
Lirong made up her mind to follow the tall man's team, and what she said about picking up the old man was just a rhetoric. At first, when she rode the horse, she thought she would not be used to it, but when she got up, the posture was not very formal, but it was also clear-eyed. Just because she grew up in Tiandi City since she was a child, there are many people riding horses in the city, and they can also see seven or eight.
Before leaving, Lirong had already seen Master Gao sitting there interrogating Pheasant's attendants, and his hand inadvertently dusted off his boots, which seemed to be a habitual action of his, and people with such habits would take their hands that had picked off their feet to eat, and she didn't believe it anymore.
But he was puzzled as to why the tall man did that in the hostel, so he decided to take a look.
She was thinking about it when she suddenly heard a commotion in front of her, and some of the shepherds shouted loudly. (To be continued.) )
