Chapter 18: The Trap
Some people use high walls to isolate themselves and their families from the outside, thinking that this will be safe, and once the enemy breaks through the high walls, the deep house becomes a cage. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The courtyard wall of Jiangcheng Gao's house is very high, there are more than two zhang, the light work of ordinary people can not be surpassed, although Gao Jin is fat, but the light work is deeply inherited, he actually jumped on the high wall easily, stood on the wall and looked at the courtyard, but it was a dead silence inside, although the weather was hot, but the doors and windows should be open, but now the doors and windows in the courtyard are closed, and an ominous premonition arises spontaneously.
Gao Jin secretly hid a sharp dagger in his sleeve, and then said to Li En outside the wall: "I'll go and open the gate, you come in through the main gate!" As soon as he stood up, he saw the doors and windows open, and a group of black-clothed men with short crossbows appeared and aimed their blue crossbow arrows at the comer.
Obviously, these crossbow arrows have been fed with poison on their clusters, which is why they show blue light.
Gao Jin immediately understood that his house was attacked by the enemy, and the life and death of his mother and subordinates were unknown, so he came in and fell into the encirclement again, so he raised his hands and asked loudly: "Who are you?" What about the people in the house? ”
A stout masked man lowered his voice and said, "If you want to live, turn around and raise your hands above your head!" As he spoke, he lit up the poisoned arrow in his hand.
Gao Jin said: "You are asking for money, I can take you to the place where the money is hidden." ”
The masked man said coldly, "Shut up! Turn around, or you'll get a taste of the arrows! ”
Gao Jin had to turn around slowly, and saw a stone tank for raising goldfish standing in the courtyard, but the aquatic plants in the tank had been withered by the sun on the ground.
The short crossbow raised by the masked man at the head was also slowly aimed at Gao Jin, and he was about to pull off the frame, but at this moment, the other party seemed to anticipate the danger, and rolled on the spot, like a fat ball of meat quickly rolling towards the water tank, and at the same time, the crossbow arrow was shot at the stone slab he had just stood on, and the slate cracked.
The masked man immediately shouted, "Shoot him quickly, don't leave him alive!" ”
Gao Jin's body knocked over the water tank, quickly got into the water tank, and rolled the water tank towards the gate, and the crossbow arrows of the black-clothed people behind them shot on the stone tank, and then folded to the ground, and the group of black-clothed people chased after them with crossbow arrows.
The stone jar suddenly flew up and smashed at these people, and Gao Jin took the opportunity to pull the latch of the gate, but he was slapped heavily on the back of the head, and he fainted to the ground.
A gray-clothed man wearing a black mask withdrew his palm, and the group of masked men rushed over, and put crossbow arrows on the crossbow machine in their hands, and the gray-clothed man said in a hoarse voice: "This is Kaohsiung's son, keep his life, tie him up, and take care of it!" You continue to hide and wait for Kaohsiung to come back! ”
The masked man answered, put down the crossbow machine in his hand, and ordered his subordinates to drag Gao Jin back to the main hall.
Outside the house, Li En lay on the ground, saw the situation in the courtyard through the crack in the door, anxious and helpless, and as soon as he stood up, he saw four men with weapons standing in front of him, staring at him together, showing puzzled eyes.
One of them, dressed in a cyan Taoist robe and carrying a long sword, was full of peach blossoms, white and beardless, and asked in a Hubei accent: "Who are you, why do you secretly visit the palace?" ”
Li En wanted to explain, but a young man in a blue Confucian robe next to him had already hooked the steel hook in his hand around his neck, and asked, "You little thief, you actually stole to Gaofu?" What a guts! ”
The man in the cyan robe said to the man: "Brother Cha, you said he is a little thief?" ”
This man in a blue Confucian costume is Zha Tiankuo, a disciple of Zhenshan of the Tianshan Sect, and said: "Yes, you can see at a glance that the thief's eyebrows and rat eyes are sneaky." ”
Li En hurriedly defended: "I'm not a thief, who are you?" ”
Zha Tiankuo pulled down the hook handle in his hand, Li Endeng felt a chill in his neck, and the other party said: "Now I ask you, what is your name and where are you from?" If you confess honestly, I will raise my noble hand and let you go, otherwise I will beat you up first, and then send you to see the official!" ”
Li En was helpless, and hurriedly said: "My surname is Li, and there is one word for En, I don't know where the name is, I have amnesia." ”
After hearing this, Zha Tiankuo thought he was playing a scoundrel, so he said: "You actually dare to play with us, do you want to be beaten?" But the man in purple and red Confucian clothes stopped him and said in a low voice: "He is the Li En and Li Gongzi mentioned by the senior seniors." ”
His other two companions also whispered: "Yes, it is this person who is explained by the senior senior, and his appearance and demeanor are the same!" ”
Zha Tiankuo withdrew the hook and said to his companion in purple red Confucian clothes: "Big brother, what do you say, let's not admit our mistakes!" ”
This man in a cyan robe is Zhan Kaijiao, a disciple of Zhenshan in Wudang Mountain, Hubei, and said, "I'll ask him!" ”
Li En touched the back of his neck with his hand and found that there was no blood, so he was relieved, and Zhan Kaijiao asked him: "You are Li En Li Gongzi?" Why are you alone outside the gate of the high mansion, what about the high prince? ”
Zha Tiankuo also said: "Yes, who can prove that you are Li En?" ”
Li En hurriedly said: "Something happened to the Gao family, Gao Gongzi was ambushed and captured by a group of black-clothed people, and this group of black-clothed people is still in the Gao family's courtyard!" ”
Zhan Kaijiao immediately pulled out his sword and put it on his throat, and asked, "What you said is true?" ”
Li En hurriedly said: "If you don't believe it, you can send someone to call the door!" When the door is opened, you will know. ”
Zhan Kaijiao and Zha Tiankuo glanced at each other, and then said to the other two companions: "Third brother, you escort him down first, fourth brother, you come to assist us." ”
A man dressed in gray pulled Li En under the plane tree, and Zhan Kaijiao said: "I'll call the door, Brother Cha, you are in charge of guarding, Brother Xue, you are light and high, go to the wall to check." ”
Check, Xue and the two responded, one stood on the side of the door, and the other turned over and jumped onto the courtyard wall, looking quietly into the courtyard.
Zhan Kaijiao immediately knocked on the door, and a deep voice came from inside the door: "Who?" ”
"In Xia Emei, the disciple Zhan opened a cellar, and came to greet Gao Gongzi on the order of his seniors."
The Zhu door opened a crack, and the gray-clothed man saw that there was only one person through the crack in the door, so he opened the door and said, "Are you alone?" Come on in! ”
Zhan Kaijiao answered, and entered the door, the gray-clothed man had already taken off his mask, revealing an old face of vicissitudes, and said, "Zhan Xiashi, please, my son-in-law is waiting in the guest hall." As he spoke, he stretched out his arm and pointed the way.
Li En, under the sycamore tree, hurriedly said to the third man who was guarding him: "Be careful that gray-clothed man, who is also with the masked man." ”
The chivalrous man surnamed Jin said in a low voice: "Shut up, who knows if you are Li Gongzi or not?" ”
Zhan Kaijiao was suspicious when he arrived, and asked as he walked: "I have been to Gaofu before, isn't it Lao Zhaotou who guards the door?" ”
The gray-clothed man secretly turned his right palm, mobilized his internal strength, and prepared to sneak attack Zhan Kaijiao, who was walking towards the living room, but as soon as his hand was raised, he was slapped heavily on the back of his head, and he fell unconscious, but he did not fall to the ground, Zha Tiankuo helped him, and then said in a low voice: "Boss, it seems that the scholar is right, there is something wrong with this gray-clothed man!" ”
