Chapter 34: A Thousand Dollars Ransom
The abductors Xue and Kong Shengren walked into the barracks.
From a big point of view, this barracks is not very numerous, perhaps because this is the border, and there are only a small number of soldiers stationed here, guarding their own territory, probably a few hundred people. Coupled with the fact that it is sparsely populated and poor, people are not interested here.
Whether Xue Congliang is being held here is still unknown.
Before the two of them walked into the general's barracks, they did not find any trace of Xue Congliang through observation.
"Isn't this kid being held here?" Abductor Xue said.
"You ask me, who do I ask? However, within a radius of ten miles, there is only one place that can restrict this kid's freedom, he was not arrested, what happened? "Sage Kong's calculations generally do not deviate much.
"Welcome, you two, I heard you're here to find someone?" As soon as I entered the door, I saw a fat-headed and big-eared general, sitting in the barracks, facing south.
Sage Kong saw that this person was not very ambitious, only the emperor sat facing south, and a small general here actually dared to sit facing south. Whatever, let's get people out first.
"General, we are indeed here to find someone, I wonder if you have seen a teenager wearing sneakers and sportswear." Kidnapper Xue asked.
"I've seen the boy, but he's been cut down by my men." The man said casually.
The kidnapper Xue's heart was chuckled. Chopped? Doesn't that mean killed?
"Huh? What do you mean? Kidnapper Xue asked.
"I mean, he's already dead, and you can't find him." The man turned his head and lit a thick cigarette and took a clatter.
Sage Kong looked at it, it's not right! There must be fraud in this, and he hurriedly gave the kidnapper Xue a look, meaning let me try it.
"General, you are a noble person who forgets things, didn't you arrest another person last night? This person really deserves it, what is running in the middle of the night? If you are caught, you should be killed, you violate the laws of Datang, no one can spare you, you are a general who strictly enforces the law, number1. The kidnapper Xue gave the general a thumbs up.
"Well, look at you, you still know some truths, let's say, what are you looking for him?" The general was completely shrouded in his own smoke.
"This kid is my grandson, just because he accidentally broke into the undressed and disturbed your land, you see, then you can make it convenient for me to take him back and discipline him well." Sage Kong said.
"That's okay, it's useless for me to keep him anyway, sooner or later I'll cut him. However, it is not impossible for you to take it back, but ......" This man always speaks in half and half.
Sage Confucius knew this kind of person very well. He immediately took out the things on his back, and then asked the general's assistant to carry them to the general, "Here is a little fodder for honoring you, military supplies, all here, and it is also a part of our ordinary people's heart to you, the officers and soldiers are very hard, please smile." ”
Seeing the groveling appearance of Sage Kong, the abductor Xue felt a little vomiting.
I didn't expect this Sage Kong to have this set of skills.
The kidnapper Xue endured and endured, and pressed the fire in his heart to the bottom of his heart. Watch the Sage Kong perform there.
I only heard the general's "um-" and waved his hand, and a small soldier walked out of the barracks.
"How much is in this bag?" The general asked.
"It's about three thousand. You can count. Sage Kong replied.
"Yes, ordinary people like you really make General Ben worry-free! If there were a little more of you, then General Ben wouldn't have to mobilize the crowd and patrol around. Okay, General Ben will release your grandson this time. However, if I catch it again, it will be three thousand, and it will be doubled. The general, looking at the white flowers and silver, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and finally stood up from his chair.
"Thank you so much, General, if it weren't for you defending your family and defending the country here, day and night, we ordinary people would have today's peaceful days." Sage Kong's sycophants were too loud to make the kidnapper Xue a little unbearable.
At this moment, Xue Congliang suddenly walked into the barracks, and the rope on his body had already been untied.
"Uncle Abductor, why are you here?" Xue Congliang said excitedly.
The two gave Xue Congliang a color and signaled him not to speak.
"Thanks to the general, then we will take our leave. When we have the opportunity in the future, we will honor you again. Sage Kong said.
The general turned his back to the inside and waved his hand.
The three of them hurried out of the tent.
"Hurry up, go as fast as you can." Sage Kong turned back three times in one step, for fear that the general would find some flaws and chase him out again.
The three of them hurried and finally got out of the barracks. At this time, it was the afternoon and the sun was setting.
"Uncle Kidnapper, who is this?" Xue Congliang asked.
"This is your Uncle Kong, the god of our village, the fortune teller you often see at the door of the supermarket in the village." Abductor Xue said.
"Ah, Uncle Kong is good." Xue Congliang suddenly thought that when he was young, he often saw this fortune teller at the entrance of the village, dressed in tatters, not like a good person, at that time, he and a few children were still spitting on him.
Unexpectedly, now, this Uncle Kong actually rescued himself. It's just weird. Who is this Uncle Kong?
"Boy, dumbfounded, do you remember when you were a child, spitting at me?" Sage Kong really mentioned the past again.
"Oh, ha, at that time, I was still young and ignorant, so don't worry about it. I'm really sorry. Xue Congliang was ashamed.
"Hey, I think about how naughty and cute you were back then, but I didn't expect that after so many years, you have grown into a young man." Sage Kong sighed.
Hearing this exclamation, Xue Cong's conscience and Daokong Saint no longer blamed himself, and his heart relaxed.
"By the way, uncles, how did you get me out?"
"In order to save you, I spent three thousand taels of silver, and you will have to pay me back when the time comes." Sage Kong said.
"Ah, three thousand taels?" Xue Congliang exclaimed.
"Come on, you, three thousand taels, isn't it just mud wrapped in tin foil? What else can be charged? The way you bowed your head just now, I was disgusted when I saw it. Abductor Xue said.
"I don't bow my head, can you save people? I don't lie, do you have so much silver? The two began to argue.
At this time, Xue Congliang already knew what was going on.
"You guys, stand up for me." While the two were arguing, someone suddenly shouted from behind.
I saw that a few hundred meters away, three fast horses, dusty, chased after them.
"Oh no, they must have found out that the silver is fake, what should we do?" Sage Kong was a little nervous at this time.
"Run, don't let them catch them again." Xue Congliang said.
"No, they are fast horses, we are manpower, and we can't outrun others." Abductor Xue said.
"Quick, hide." Sage Kong said.
"This is the plain, where are you going to hide?" Abductor Xue said.
"Abductor, it's up to you this time, if you fight hard, I'm not an opponent." Sage Kong said with some despair.
"Okay, now that the matter has come to an end, I have to fight hard. But first you let the signal out, and my men will arrive shortly. I saw that the kidnapper Xue threw over a short stick.
At this time, the three fast horses were already in front of them.
I saw that the kidnapper Xue pulled out a long sword from his waist, and a vicious battle was about to begin.
Although the other party was on a horse and was armed with a spear, the kidnapper Xue stretched out his hands flexibly and dealt with these three thieves, which was more than enough.
I saw him wielding a long sword, and at first, the sword light was flying, flying sand and stones, and the cold air was pressing people step by step, causing people to die.
Xue Congliang took a closer look at the things in his hand and found that this was not just a two-shot cannon? It looks like a firework, kicking on both feet, a sound on the ground, and a sound in the sky.
How? Going to put it here?
Sage Kong had already taken out a lighter. Xue Congliang immediately put the cannon on the ground. This thing is very powerful.
After a burst of green smoke, the cannon roared loudly, rose into the air, and exploded like thunder at an altitude of 100 meters.
At this moment, more than a dozen fast horses suddenly rushed over from the general's camp.
Oh no, the sound of artillery drew the enemy instead......
