Princess Jian'an's wedding convoy still has two days left to reach the capital. Everyone knows in their hearts that everything is fine when they enter Beijing. After walking for less than two hours, he saw a group of men and horses galloping over from a distance, and the first horse in front of him took the lead. Zhong Wei immediately ordered to stop and line up, and the bow was wound and the sword was unsheathed and fired. Gun in hand. When the horse was getting closer, Zhong Wei breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "My own people! The crowd also breathed a sigh of relief. Zhong Wei pulled his horse and rushed to meet him.

The person who came was a young general, and after saying a few words to Zhong Wei, the two hurried to see Princess Jian'an. Zhong Wei introduced: "This is General Ge Qiao, who is secretly guarding us on the order of Jia Lian, the prefect of Taiwan. ”

Hearing that it was someone sent by her husband's family, Princess Jian'an couldn't help but blush, and her heart was very safe. Who knew that General Geqiao clenched his fists and said: "Princess, there are ambush soldiers on the way to the capital, there are a lot of people, and there are also firearms, which is definitely not something that people like us can deal with." Please move away for the time being. ”

Princess Jian'an was taken aback: "Do you know who it is?" ”

"I don't know. I don't know if I'm waiting for the princess. Ge Qiao said, "Take a break and see what they do." ”

Princess Jian'an pondered for a moment and asked, "Where to avoid?" ”

Ge Qiao smiled slightly: "Please ask the princess and General Zhong to go with the last general." ”

Princess Jian'an looked at Zhong Wei, and Zhong Wei said: "There are many ambush soldiers, and it is inconvenient to attack and defend here." The princess nodded in agreement.

The entire rear team of the convoy became the front team, Ge Qiao led the way in front, withdrew a section of the road, turned onto another fork in the road, and then rushed forward. Because they were in a hurry, everyone endured hunger and didn't eat lunch. It was dusk that the people rushed to the bottom of a mountain. Ge Qiao entered a small shop on the side of the road and talked to the people inside, and came out with a stiff face to tell Princess Sù and Zhong Wei: "There will be one good news and two bad news at the end, which one will be said first?" ”

The princess sighed, "Let's talk about the bad news first." ”

Ge Qiao said: "There are two pieces of bad news. The first one was that the people who were in ambush at noon were indeed coming for the princess. After waiting for a long time, I couldn't wait for anyone, so I searched all the way to find us. ”

Zhong Wei asked, "What about the other one?" ”

"They have found our horseshoe prints, and they are about to catch up."

Zhong Wei and Princess Jian'an were both shocked, looked at each other, and Zhong Wei asked, "The good news?" ”

Ge Qiao pointed to the mountain: "There are bandits on this mountain, I am very familiar with the big leaders on the mountain, you can go up to avoid the limelight and borrow the organ of their cottage to guard it." ”

Zhong Wei glanced at him twice and asked, "Are you friends with Jia Cong?" ”

"yes!"

"I said." Zhong Wei snorted, "It's all a scoundrel tune." ”

"General Zhong can't wronged the last general." Ge Qiao Zhengse hugged his fists and said, "The last general is a serious person, and he is not the same as the third master of Cong at all." Zhong Wei chuckled.

Then Ge Qiao asked him to go up the mountain with Princess Jian'an, and the objects pulled in the car were labeled one by one, and An An was pulled away in order. Zhong Wei muttered to someone: "Our princess has a lot of dowry, and this mountain king won't make up his mind." ”

When Ge Qiao heard it, he said with a smile: "He won't hit anyone's idea and won't hit the idea of these things." Nai whispered close to Zhong Wei's ear and said, "The big leader's surname is Liu. Zhong Wei was startled, and he couldn't help but laugh again.

Everyone looked around after going up the mountain. Not to mention the neat houses and the amazing momentum of the soldiers, judging from the large area of cement floor under the feet, which has been used for several years, this cottage is unusual. Ge Qiao arranged the convoy like a master, and invited Princess Jian'an and her maids to enter a courtyard on the mountain called Yuwuyuan to rest for the time being, and turned back to Zhong Wei and said, "The pursuers have reached the foot of the mountain." Since we can't find any trace of us, we can probably guess that we have gone up the mountain. While it was still dark at this time, I couldn't say that I could not think of attacking it. ”

Zhong Wei hurriedly said: "Let's go and prepare." ”

"Not yet." Ge Qiao said, "Everyone is hungry, let's eat." They didn't have the ability to come close for a while, so they went around outside for two hours. Zhong Wei laughed, and the two walked out of the Wuyuan hand in hand. Princess Jian'an naturally heard it on the side. Although he was still apprehensive in his heart, he was relieved to see General Nage's confident appearance.

And they ate on the mountain. Halfway through the meal, a soldier came to report, and the scouts chasing the soldiers at the bottom of the mountain got lost. Ge Qiao's face was full of compassion, and he rubbed his beard on his beardless chin: "

Zhong Wei asked, "Isn't Leader Liu here?" ”

"Naturally, not there." Ge Qiao said, "If he is here, he will do it first if he can't keep it." General Zhong, who is the pursuer? ”

Zhong Wei smiled bitterly: "I don't know at all. What does General Ge see? ”

Ge Qiao pondered: "It won't be the Empress Dowager, she doesn't have such a good soldier." These people can't be raised with money, someone has to practice them. Nor is it King Yan, who approves of this marriage; Even if you don't approve of it, you won't wait until Yan Guo to do it, it's too embarrassing. Besides, I don't know what they're trying to do. Killing, seeking money, or kidnapping. ”

Zhong Wei said: "Or I will send someone to investigate at night." ”

Ge Qiao smiled: "You don't need to be at night, you can go here, above board." ”

When Zhong Wei heard this, he really sent a brother who was very good at coming and going to high to pretend to be a thief, and followed a real thief sent by Ge Qiao through Lin Yuexi, and made many bends to the bottom. I saw a black camp at the foot of the mountain, and I couldn't see the number. The real thief took out a waist card from his bosom and said, "I'll avoid it first, you can tie this thing around your waist." ”

The man nodded, tied his waist card and walked into the camp, coughed loudly a few times, and lit the torch in his hand. Sure enough, after a while, a soldier came to ask him, and he arched his hand and said, "I have been sent by the head of my family, and I want to see your leader." The soldiers surrounded him, but he was calm. After a while, someone who had gone to report came back and said that the general had asked him to take this person over.

This person swaggered into the big tent of the Chinese army, and saw that the leading general was nearly fifty years old, not angry and arrogant, and it was obvious that he was a veteran. He arched his hand: "This leader is invited." ”

The general asked, "Who are you?" ”

This person said: "It's not enough to worry about a small pawn." ”

The general looked him up and down for a long time, then suddenly stared at his waist card a few times, and said with a smile: "Your leader is interesting." Is that your name? ”

The man looked down and couldn't help but blush. There are three words engraved on the waist card: Fine Ghost. Just on the way, the real thief happened to comment with him, and there were two little monsters in "Journey to the West", one called a fine ghost and the other called a clever worm. I had to laugh dryly: "Our leader...... Fun. ”

The general looked at the waist card again, smiled for a while, and said, "That's it, since you don't want to be named, I will call you a fine ghost." Who is your leader? ”

The fine ghost was helpless, and pouted: "Our leader is the leader of this mountain. Money falls from the sky and picks it up in the ground, and whoever picks it up first is whoever. As the saying goes, there is a way to steal. Even if you are mixing in the green forest, the leader of such an idea should always know. The ticket was sent out, and his eyes were much redder. If we let others get it first, our leader can't do it, right? Partiality is now for us to get. Now that it's in our hands, it's not good for the leader to try to take it again. ”

The general looked at him with a smile and said, "Your leader has a big appetite. Do you know who he robbed? ”

The fine ghost also smiled: "Whoever she is." Horizontal and vertical money does not speak. ”

The general said: "Aren't you afraid that Rongguo Mansion will take artillery to bombard your cottage?" ”

"This doesn't bother others to worry about."

The general sneered: "Whoever gets the money from the sky and picks it up from the ground, whoever catches it will be whoever." Since it has been encountered, it is not too much to divide half of the meeting. ”

The fine ghost crooked his mouth and laughed dryly: "Don't joke about the leader, it's very boring." ”

"Who's kidding?" The general said, "I don't know how much your cottage is?" What if I set fire to the mountain? ”

The fine ghost said coldly: "Do you do such a bad thing, do you want to mix in the green forest in the future?" ”

The general laughed: "Since I have so much money, I can be a nobleman by buying a knighthood, and what kind of green forest do I have." ”

The fine ghost gritted his teeth for a long time with a dark face, and said, "Dare to ask the leader what is the origin?" ”

The general stroked his beard: "Taihu Wang Wu." ”

The fine ghost nodded, clenched his fists and said goodbye. When he walked to the door, he suddenly turned back and asked, "Sister-in-law Chun in the small restaurant, you didn't treat her well, did you?" ”

The general said: "There is no one in the restaurant, I think she saw so many people and fled." The fine ghost said goodbye.

When the man was gone, the general led the people to search the small restaurant at the foot of the mountain, but there was still nothing suspicious. He sat down casually and asked his confidant, "In your opinion, who is this mountain king?" ”

The henchman said: "It's definitely not a green forest thief. The waist card he hung on his minions, 'Fine Ghost', must have a reason for this. In the commentary, the fine ghost is the subordinates of the Golden Horn King and the Silver Horn King, and these two are the boys who guard the alchemy furnace for the Taishang Laojun. ”

The general said: "What are they doing to arrest Princess Jian'an?" ”

The henchman smiled bitterly: "I don't know who did it, how can I guess?" It's just that we haven't seen any traces of a fight along the way, so it can be seen that the people of King Lu have never fought with the king of this mountain. ”

The general said: "I can't keep it all by using any tricks to deceive." Nai sat down for a while, and said angrily, "Seeing that the fish was about to enter the net, I let others snatch it." After a few words of persuasion, he sighed and led the people out.

The fine ghost returned to the mountain, pinched the waist card in his hand and threw it directly on Ge Qiao's desk, and said it from the beginning with a snort. Ge Qiao smiled and high-fived: "He really noticed it." ”

Zhong Wei also felt funny and asked, "What do you do to make a waist card for Journey to the West?" ”

Ge Qiao said: "I was doing it for fun, but I just used it to muddy the water." ”

Zhong Wei said: "This Taihu Lake King Five? ”

Ge Qiao smiled: "It has nothing to do with Fifth Master Wang. One of the purposes of those people under the mountain has been understood, planting. ”

After another half a day, someone outside said, "Sister-in-law Chun is here." I saw an ordinary village girl in her forties come in and salute Ge Qiao. Ge Qiao asked her what she had heard, and the sister-in-law told the general what she had said to her confidants in the restaurant.

Only then did the fine ghost know that Ge Qiao ordered him to ask one more question at the end that "Sister-in-law Chun" was not a joke, and Sister-in-law Chun hid in the small restaurant and eavesdropped, and couldn't help asking: "How does General Ge know that he will go there to talk?" ”

Kudzu

Zhong Wei said: "Jia Cong has helped King Wu a lot, and probably all the princes know about it." ”

"From this point of view, Chu is the most suspicious." Ge Qiao said, "Wu has become too wealthy in recent years, and has occupied territory in Dongying, and they have also begun to build various factories, the most important of all." Many Chu people moved to Wu one after another. ”

Zhong Wei said: "There are also many people in the Qi Kingdom. ”

"Most of the people who moved to Dongying abroad went to Liu Dong's land." Ge Qiao said, "There are more Jin people who go to Yan Kingdom first and then go to Dongying Yan. By the way, the Chu people also borrowed the Yan Kingdom to go to Dongying. is still the king of Chu who is the most suspicious. Besides, how much money did Wu earn from Chu? Wu Bu almost occupied the state of Chu. If I am the king of Chu, I don't know whether to hate King Wu or Jia Cong. The drawings of the spinning machines and looms of King Wu were given to him by Jia Cong. Two years later, he also gave another share to King Yan, and Chu Guo happened to be caught in the middle and died of poverty. ”

Zhong Wei said: "There is one more thing. The rapid decline of the state of Chu in the past two years began with the assassination of the first king of Chu. The reason for his assassination was to rob a beauty in Luguo. ”

Ge Qiao held his chin and said, "Hmm...... Let's talk first, I don't know if those under the mountain want to kill people, rob money or kidnap tickets, and then add a false accusation. They want to do all these things. What is the third master of Huan doing, it is so troublesome to want to become a parent. ”

Zhong Wei said: "General Ge does he have any ideas?" ”

Ge Qiao's head rested on his slap and shook it, "I have an idea, but first, go and ask the Lord what he means." So he sent his sister-in-law to tell Princess Jian'an about it. Sister-in-law Chun left in response.

Zhong Wei said: "What did I ask her to do?" She's just a woman. ”

Ge Qiao squeezed his eyes: "I heard that the women who marry into the Jia family have two brushes, and try to see if she has any good ideas." ”

When she arrived at the Wuyuan, the sister-in-law of Chun stood up and explained the speculation of the two generals from the beginning of the passing under the mountain. The princess listened silently, thanked her, sighed lightly, and sat in front of the desk for a long time, her eyes darkly red: "My grandmother wants to poison me, just to borrow the benefits of my husband's family." My second uncle sent a large army to kill me, and he wanted to pretend to be a mountain bandit and frame my sixth uncle. In the early years, the concubine in the palace also said that it was a girl to recruit a horse in the future, and avoid these things. After a while, he muttered, "Where can I avoid ......?"

Sister-in-law Chun said: "I don't know if the princess has an idea to govern those people under the mountain." Princess Jian'an was stunned. Sister-in-law Chun said, "Since they are here for the princess, how does the princess want to rectify them?" I can't say that our general can do it? ”

Princess Jian'an asked, "Aren't you trapped on the mountain now?" ”

Sister-in-law Chun said: "It's not difficult to deal with them, lure them into the mountains, there are all kinds of pits, traps, and traps, and you can also lead water into the empty valley." It's easy to just want to go. The mountain has its own path. ”

Princess Jian'an thought for a long time and said, "My heart is in turmoil this time, and I will think about it at night." You'll come back tomorrow. ”

Sister-in-law Chun bowed down and bowed: "The subordinates obey the order." ”
