Seeing that the middle-aged Confucian was unwilling, but finally had to swallow his anger and nod his head, Gao Zijian was extremely proud in his heart.

He just loves the feeling of playing with other people in the applause, it's so wonderful!

It's a pity that he only saw the middle-aged Confucian deliberately disguised forbearance, but he couldn't see the sneer and murderous intent in the middle-aged Confucian student's heart.

The Dull Jun system has found out, but its purpose is to use Gao Zijian to let the Tartars enter the customs and subvert the entire Liang River, how can it remind Gao Zijian at this time?

Gao Zijian didn't realize that the danger was approaching, but secretly proud, thinking that he was in control.

As soon as the contract was completed, the middle-aged Confucian decided to return immediately, and Gao Zijian intended to keep him for a while, but he thought that the things had not yet arrived, so he gave up.

Then, he specially arranged a team of guards to escort the middle-aged Confucian to the border.

In this regard, the middle-aged Confucian did not refuse, and agreed with a grateful face.

Before leaving, Gao Zijian also specially prepared wine and food to entertain middle-aged Confucian students, and even arranged for Mei Ji to serve. It's a pity that the middle-aged Confucian is like an arrow, even if he is greedy, he doesn't want to make a mistake for the sake of two women.

He only drank some wine and ate some food, then wiped his mouth and directly said goodbye, Gao Zijian was inconvenient to keep, so he could only watch him leave.

As soon as he left King Ning's mansion, the middle-aged Confucian was completely relieved, and immediately got into the carriage provided by Gao Zijian and ordered people to rush to the border immediately.

It's a pity that he was careless for a while, and he didn't notice that his every move had already been seen by others.

He sat in the carriage, drunk, and could not help but recall the promise of the high officials promised to him by the Khan of Yechai, and could not help but feel more and more proud, only to feel that he had finally wasted more than ten years in the north.

Now that Gao Zijian has taken the bait, as long as the army enters the Central Plains in some time, the whole world will completely change hands. When the Yechai Khan he followed succeeded to the throne, he made great achievements this time, and his future must be limitless!

The more the middle-aged Confucian thought about it, the more proud he became, but he found that the drunken energy was quite strong, and he couldn't help but lean into the carriage and fall asleep, and finally fell asleep completely.

As a result, after the carriage drove out of Daning City and arrived at a deserted suburb, dense arrows rained down, and the soldiers in charge of escorting were defenseless, and they were hit by arrows one after another, falling off their horses, even the coachman.

When the middle-aged Confucian was woken up with a whip, he found that he had been tied up and placed in a narrow and dark cellar.

The cellar was dug roughly, full of earthy smell, but the middle-aged Confucian couldn't care about this, after he woke up from the pain, he suddenly opened his eyes, and after seeing who the person holding the whip in front of him was, his face suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "It's you!" What are you trying to do with me? I sue you, I am the honored guest of the prince of Ning, if you arrest me, the prince will never spare you! ”

It was none other than the strong man who carried him into the city a few days ago and accepted him as a gift of thanks. can only blame this middle-aged Confucian for being unlucky, this strong man happens to have a deep blood feud with the Tartars, the middle-aged Confucian not only took refuge in the Tartars, but also acted as a lobbyist for the Tartars, wanting to invade the Central Plains, how could the strong man tolerate him?

So this time, he personally led people to shoot all the escorts, and after removing the traces, he tied up the middle-aged Confucian here and interrogated him personally.

With a wave of his arm, he whipped the middle-aged Confucian student fiercely, and said disdainfully: "Shizi? It's a pity that it won't be anymore soon! ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged Confucian student's face changed again, and he was horrified in his heart: "You...... Who the hell are you? At this moment, if he no longer understands that this strong man is not an ordinary businessman, he will be a fool!

It's a pity that the strong man won't obediently tell him his identity, he sneered and deliberately said: "Remember, Lao Tzu is your ancestor!" After saying that, he gave the middle-aged Confucian a whip again.

The middle-aged Confucian was just a scribe, how could he bear such a crime, he soon screamed in pain, and justified in his mouth: "I'm just a scholar, you...... Did you catch the wrong person? ”

"You know it in your heart!" The strong man gave him several whips, and when he saw him screaming, he said, "If you dare to talk nonsense, I will feed you the whip!" ”

After saying that, a few more whips were drawn.

The middle-aged Confucian soon couldn't stand it anymore, and began to beg with a pale face: "You...... What exactly do you want to know? ”

The strong man snorted coldly, and then asked, "Tell me honestly, who are you?" What did you do after going to King Ning's Mansion! What is your purpose? You'd better not lie, or you'll ......"

As he spoke, he gestured to a man not far away, and then the man walked up to the middle-aged Confucian and took out a letter from his bosom.

When the middle-aged Confucian saw the familiar letter, his heart sank completely.

This is not an ordinary letter, but a contract he made with the prince of King Ning! The other party had obviously searched his body, and it was useless for him to quibble, but he would have to suffer.

He hesitated in his heart, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I...... I can say, however, I want to see your master. ”

He is also cunning, and seeing that the strong man seems to have a deep grudge against him, he wants to see the master of the strong man, and plans to use the incorruptible color to persuade the other party to use him, and even take refuge in the Khan of Yeshu together!

In this way, not only is it not a disaster for him to be arrested this time, but it can also become a great achievement!

It's a pity that he is cunning, and the strong man is not a fool, where will he let his calculations succeed?

The strong man didn't say a word, and directly gave him more than a dozen whips, each whip was merciless, until his skin was opened, and finally he fainted in pain.

Only then did the strong man sneer and "phew", picked up the salt water next to him and splashed it directly on the wound of the middle-aged Confucian student.

"Ahh

The strong man raised the bloody whip in his hand, and said coldly: "I just gave you a lesson, you have to say it, you have to say it, you have to say it!" If you want to play tricks again, don't blame Lao Tzu for being unkind to you! ”

The middle-aged Confucian suddenly understood that this strong man was a ruthless character at all, and he would not be fooled by him because of one or two sentences.

In this way, his hopes of turning around were almost completely dashed.

For a while, the middle-aged Confucian even thought frantically that he would die so directly, so that the other party would not get anything!

Unfortunately, just as he was about to bite his tongue and kill himself, the strong man directly and brutally pinched his jaw and stuffed a round thing into his mouth, which also had a sharp cone, which pierced directly into his tongue mercilessly.

The intense pain that surged in that moment made the middle-aged Confucian want to die immediately, but his tongue was so painful that even a slight movement would cause severe pain.

What's even more terrifying is that the ball didn't know what it had been soaked in, it was as bitter as Coptis chinensis, and this bitter taste was very irritating to the wound, as if it magnified the pain tenfold.

The middle-aged Confucian was completely desperate at this time, and he looked at the strong man in horror, as if he was looking at a demon. However, after the strong man noticed his frightened gaze, he just smiled coldly: "What? Now that you know you're scared? Wouldn't it be nice to be honest just now? It's a pity that Lao Tzu doesn't want to listen to you now, you write it directly to Lao Tzu word for word, and when what you write satisfies Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will □□ that thing in your mouth. ”

After speaking, he directly brought a simple table made of wood and placed it in front of the middle-aged Confucian scholar, and then untied his right hand and asked him to write honestly.

Such a posture must be very inconvenient to write, but unfortunately the middle-aged Confucian has no choice at all, if he wants to be freed as soon as possible, he has to honestly write everything he knows, and he does not dare to omit a word.

On the other hand, Taiping was taken to a military camp along with the other villagers. When he arrived, he found that it was not only them who had been arrested, but many people from other villages.

However, after making private inquiries, he found that the people who were forcibly arrested were all from some remote villages.

Obviously, although Gao Zijian forcibly recruited troops in the name of Gao Haichong, he did not dare to be too blatant. So he started from those remote villages, but he didn't dare to attack those villages close to the towns.

This discovery made Taiping feel a little relieved, since Gao Zijian did not dare to be blatant, it means that his preparation is not sufficient, or rather, he has not yet reached the point where he dares to raise an army to rebel, and only dares to make some small moves.

It's a pity that this barracks is remote, and the barracks are very well defended, although no one cares if they want to talk in private, if they dare to leave the place that belongs to them, they will be dealt with by military law!

I can't even get out of the barracks, let alone send news to Gao Zixin.

After Taiping realized the situation, he had no choice but to stop the idea of informing, press it down, and honestly train with the others.

It's just that these people who have been forcibly requisitioned are obviously not taken seriously, and the weapons issued to them are nothing more than wooden thorns made of sharpened wood, and the quality of the wood is not good, and it will break if you use a little force.

Their training was also very loose, and their food and shelter were even worse, and they could only eat a bowl of gruel made from messy weeds a day, and they could not eat enough at all.

Fortunately, his body has been hungry for too long, so it is not suitable to eat too much, and eating those strange-tasting wild vegetable porridge will help him detoxify by the way.

It's just that in this way, Taiping is also even more hungry.

He stared silently in the direction of the capital, his heart full of longing - what are Aya'er and Bao'er doing now?
