Chapter 581: Favor

Wu Tao is the captain of the city gate of Guangyang Gate, responsible for guarding Guangyang Gate, after General Wei Sima You issued an order to close the twelve city gates of Luoyang, Wu Tao was of course immediately ordered to carry out, the Guangyang Gate was closed tightly, prohibiting anyone from passing.

As a small captain of the city gate, Wu Tao was not qualified to question General Wei's orders, not to mention that low-ranking military attachΓ©s like them could not participate in the factions of the imperial court's political struggle. Without political backers and family backgrounds, it is difficult for an official like Wu Tao to get a chance to be promoted, and the only thing he can do is to abide by orders, be cautious, and not seek merit, but seek merit, as long as he can keep his own errand, he can receive his share of the salary every month.

Wu Tao's family is poor, and there is a seventy-year-old high hall waiting for him to support him, and there is a pair of children waiting to be fed below, so it is impossible for Wu Tao not to attach importance to his position and not bend his waist for five buckets of rice? That's what those sour literati who think of themselves as high are done, for Wu Tao, having this position, can guarantee to feed his family, Qing Gao has a fart, can he eat?

Wu Tao is a well-known filial son, his mother is filial piety, famous far and wide, and Wu Tao is also a person who follows the rules, what his boss orders him to do, he will carry it out to the letter, and never ask why, soldiers, obeying orders is their duty.

The order issued by General Wei's mansion, of course, Wu Tao didn't dare to discount it at all, who is General Wei, Wuyang Marquis Sima You, such a noble identity, and Wu Tao, a small city gate captain of 600 stones, is very different, unless Wu Tao's brain is in the water, he dares to disobey Sima You's order.

The army outside the city besieged Luoyang City. As a member of the Forbidden Army. Wu Tao has never fought at all. Naturally, it is inevitable to be a little flustered, because I don't know what the final result of this battle will be, fortunately, the initial battle has not yet spread to Guangyangmen, but the tense atmosphere before the war is already so oppressive that people can't breathe.

In the past two days, Wu Tao personally inspected the city tower, urging the soldiers defending the city to strengthen their vigilance to prevent a sneak attack by the army outside the city.

After inspecting the circle, Wu Tao decided to go down to rest and just walked down the steps. A middle-aged man dressed in a butler's costume suddenly stood in front of him and said with a slight smile: "Captain Wu, our master wants to meet you." ”

Wu Tao immediately became vigilant, after the city gate was under martial law, ordinary civilians were no longer allowed to approach the city gate, looking at this person's appearance, it was like the appearance of a Shi family steward, he said in a deep voice: "Who is your master?" ”

There was a chuckle from behind, and Wu Tao followed the laughter to look over, but it was a man dressed in the costume of an inferior servant. He wears a big hat on his head, and he can't see his face at all. The man sneered: "Captain Wu is really majestic, and his face changes as soon as he is really broad. ”

Wu Tao heard the voice very familiar, and couldn't help but be shocked, and said, "You are ......"

The man slowly lowered his hat, smiled slightly, and said, "Why, I don't even know each other anymore?" ”

Wu Tao was so surprised that he almost couldn't close his mouth, and lost his voice: "It turned out to be Jia ......" As soon as the words came out, Wu Tao stopped his mouth and looked around vigilantly, fortunately, there was no one around at the moment, he lowered his voice and said: "Why did Engong come here, there is a wanted notice for your bounty posted at the gate of the city?" ”

It was none other than Jia Yun, who calmly put the hat back on his head, and glanced at the four wanted notices posted on the city wall by the way.

The portraits on these four wanted warrants are Sima Yan, Chen Qian, Jia Chong and Pei Xiu, Jia Chong is ranked third, and according to the above reward amount, Jia Chong's head is worth 10 million yuan. Of course, Sima Yan is the most expensive, and the reward is 50 million.

Jia Yun smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect that my head is also worth 10,000 gold, and Wuyang Hou is very expensive." ”

Wu Tao was dripping in cold sweat, lest others see Jia Chong here, so he hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Engong, please take a step to speak." ”

Jia Chong nodded, followed Wu Tao into the signing room, and the two people who followed Jia Chong did not enter, but stood at the door.

Wu Tao closed the door and said a little nervously: "At this moment, Engong is wanted everywhere in the city, how could Engong appear in Guangyangmen, if he is looked at by others, it is very bad." ”

Jia Chong smiled calmly and calmly: "10 million money is a great wealth, this kind of great wealth is better to give to an acquaintance than to give it to others, if Captain Wu is interested, even if he takes a certain item to receive the reward, I believe that in addition to this 10 million reward, it is not a problem to be promoted to the rank of official." ”

Wu Tao's face suddenly turned red, and he said hurriedly: "How do you say this, how can Wu be the kind of ungrateful villain, if it wasn't for Engong's help, my mother may have long since died, this kindness, even if I Wu Tao is broken, it is difficult to repay it, how can I be that shameless villain who repays virtue with resentment!" ”

Jia Chong smiled slightly, nodded approvingly, and said, "I really didn't misunderstand you." ”

The relationship between Wu Tao and Jia Chong was ten years ago, when Jia Chong was still the general Sima, Wu Tao was just a tun chief, and the tun chief was only a low-level officer in charge of a hundred people, and his salary was meager. At that time, Wu Tao's mother was seriously ill, and it could not be cured unless it was a famous doctor, and the Wu family was poor, so he couldn't take out the money at all, Wu Tao was a filial son, and he was so anxious that he went crazy, and he borrowed money from his boss but was ruthlessly refused, Wu Tao was angry, and he wanted to cut the boss with a knife.

Committing murder in the barracks was a capital crime, and it should be beheaded according to the law, but Jia Chong happened to be present, and after learning the reason, he not only pardoned Wu Tao's guilt, but also gave 10,000 yuan out of his own pocket for Wu Tao to take to treat his mother's illness.

For Jia Chong, this is just a matter of effort, and the 10,000 yuan is just a drizzle, and Jia Chong also took this matter to heart afterwards. But for Wu Tao, he gave Jia Chong his life-saving grace, and it was not a pity for him to die, Jia Chong saved his mother, but Wu Tao was grateful to Dade for the rest of his life. Later, Wu Tao was promoted to the captain of Guangyang Gate, but for Jia Chong, who was already in the middle guard, he didn't care at all, and the disparity in status between the two seemed destined to have no intersection anymore.

But the world is unpredictable, after the Luoyang Incident, the situation suddenly changed, Jia Chong and Sima Yan became prisoners together, and then were rescued by Sima Yan's dead soldiers, when the horn of counterattack was about to sound, Jia Chong suddenly thought that a small person who had given him a favor ten years ago actually had the value of use, so he took the initiative to offer advice to Sima Yan, went to Guangyang Gate, and tried to win the city gate without blood.
