Chapter 124: Start Again
In the past, if people saw this hairstyle similar to that of the Tassel people, they might laugh, but when they saw blood and two heads all over the ground, people only felt nauseous and dizzy and wanted to vomit, where would they laugh. Hearing the military general report to his home, the surrounding people immediately retreated more than a dozen steps back and shouted: "Ghost general! He is a ghost general who kills people and eats meat! Oh my God! It is said that the ghost will go out, kill one person in ten steps, everyone stay away from him, and stay farther away. ”
Lou San was surprised, it turned out that this person was a ghost general, the ghost general who destroyed the entire Saibei sand bandits with his own strength, and Zhang Xiaowu who destroyed the Liu family's brain-eating brains, he was really blind, and he actually provoked such a evil god! He couldn't help but take two steps back, and said, "You...... It's you! ”
Zhang Xiaowu said: "These two are the daughters of my Qinglong Army military advisor Gu, how did they become your new sons?" You have a lot of courage to kidnap the family of the military advisor. ”
Compared to being almost killed just now, abducting the family of the military division, this kind of crime can be punished all over the house, Lou San immediately threw away his saber and turned around and ran away, leaving only the surrounding people stunned, these two women are actually the daughters of today's Gu military division?
Zhang Xiaowu didn't chase the man, he saw that Gu Ruoxi was still unconscious, so he walked over and picked her up, seeing that the second lady's pretty face was still asleep, he couldn't help but say: "What a stupid pig, do you think this is also Longdu City?" He turned back to Wang Yijin and instructed: "One catty, why are you stunned?" Send them back. ”
"Whoa."
Wang Yijin walked to the maid Cui'e, looked at Zhang Xiaowu, and then at the maid, a little at a loss.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Xiaowu asked.
"This ...... Men and women are not intimate ......"
"Kiss your uncle! What do you want to save people? ”
Wang Yijin learned from Zhang Xiaowu to pick up Cui'e sideways, blushing like a monkey's buttocks, Zhang Xiaowu hated iron and said: "You kid, I guess it's the first time I have come into contact with a woman." ”
"Not for the first time."
"Yo? I can't see it, you still have this ability? ”
"I ......"
"Yes, I don't want to hear your story, but you can hold it well, that girl's head is about to fall to the ground!"
Wang Yijin hurriedly helped Cui'e up, smiled awkwardly, and the two sent the girls back to the home business inn. The people in the business inn didn't know what was going on outside, but when they saw Gu Ruoxi coming back covered in blood, they thought that the second lady was seriously injured, and they suddenly panicked.
Fortunately, after Zhang Xiaowu's explanation, everyone understood that the second miss went out to play without permission, but was snatched away by the kidnappers of the Qinglou people, but fortunately, Zhang Xiaowu rescued the second miss in time. There are also people in Longdu, but although there are many large and small forces in Longdu, they will definitely find out the identity of the other party before they start. If you kidnap the daughter of any princess and county lord or big official, I am afraid that the underground forces of the entire Dragon Capital City will suffer.
Miss Gu was afraid, and Chen Boqing hurriedly thanked her, Zhang Xiaowu nodded, and left with a bow.
Chen Boqing sighed: "This person ...... It's unpredictable. ”
The eldest lady said: "This time, we owe him more, but we don't know how to thank him." She pondered and said, "Is there any silver here?" You can give them more. ”
Chen Boqing said: "Obey the words of the eldest lady and give as much as you want." ”
"Give more."
Chen Boqing personally sent three thousand taels of silver to express his gratitude, and Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said that this was a windfall, and entering the city today was just a routine to report training to the captain. Chen Boqing was curious why he was not a lieutenant but only a school assistant, and Zhang Xiaowu said that his contribution was only to protect the Gu family, not military merit.
Chen Boqing said: "Miss Zuo Protection, the merits far exceed the merits, and the military advisor will definitely remember this sentiment." ”
Zhang Xiaowu smiled slightly and did not say anything, the military advisor is too far away, how can he pay attention to a small school assistant.
Two days later, Lord Shi's illness finally improved, as the saying goes, children don't hide their illness, and after she recovered from her illness, she immediately shouted and went to the dead camp with Gu Ruoxi to have a look. Both of them are idle people, and the girl is full of temperament, but after the last time Miss Gu Er was in distress, how dare the eldest lady Gu Qingxi let them go out and mess around. Lord Shi and Miss Gu Er were like birds in a cage, sullen all day long but helpless, they tried to sneak out several times, but they were always stopped by the guards of the family.
The county lord recovered from his illness, and the Gu family could set off, and Zhang Xiaowu and other dead soldiers continued to escort the Gu family and the caravan.
Because Mucheng and the Two Wolves Pass were only two days away, Zhang Xiaowu only took Xiao Kai's former capital team and Zu Gongmao's left capital team to escort them, and left everyone behind to take Hu Li as an order.
The camp of the dead was prepared but because the Gu family was delayed for a day, it turned out that the decisive battle was coming, the Han people in Saibei and the rich people of the Tatar Tower who were sinicized knew the danger, and when the Gu family decided to temporarily stop the business of the merchant inn and move back to the Two Wolves Pass, other merchants who had a good relationship with the Gu family were also anxious. They felt that the Gu family was an imperial businessman, and since the imperial businessmen had moved away, something big would inevitably happen, so they also begged to come to the door and begged to withdraw together.
There are many business partners in the Gu family business inn, and they used to help each other, but at this time, they couldn't throw away their partners, so they had to agree. As a result, the escort team is much larger.
Zhang Xiaowu thought that he was just protecting the hundreds of people last time, but he didn't expect that the caravan people escorted this time reached thousands of people, and he didn't know what to do when he saw the chaotic crowd. After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaowu decided to report to the general, so as not to cause rumors and confusion in Mucheng and cause a mutiny in the army. As a traverser, Zhang Xiaowu naturally understands the power of rumors, especially after Gu Junshi's family evacuates, how much shock it will bring to Mucheng.
In another world, the propaganda of the Mongol army to break the city and slaughter the city made no one dare to resist wherever they passed, and the Jurchen was dissatisfied with the invincible propaganda, which also made the Liao, Song and Ming dynasties in history very afraid, which was the deterrent effect of psychological warfare. Psychological warfare is the most capable of breaking people's hearts and the will to resist, and now that the decisive battle has not yet begun, if the people riot because of the removal of the Gu family, it will be simply chaotic.
Zhang Xiaowu first reported the matter to Huang Sheng, but Huang Sheng waved his hand sharply when he heard it: "If they wanted to leave early, they would have left early, would they wait until now?" Tell you, most of the people of Mucheng are the descendants of the Tatar and Han hybrids, born here and grew up here, and will not leave. You see who are leaving, but they are just businessmen from the Central Plains, their homes are not in the Central Plains, and their hearts are not in the North of the Central Plains, so they can go. But what about the people of Mucheng, they are wanderers and beggars when they leave here, can they go? Can't go. ”
Although Zhang Xiaowu felt that there was some reason, he was still worried about the mutiny, and Huang Shengzhi said that it was okay, if there was a commotion in the city, General Cheng would have sent troops to suppress it.
Zhang Xiaowu said that there were too many escorts, and the dead battalion couldn't care about others, only protecting the Gu family, Huang Sheng smiled and said: "Don't worry about them, they didn't give you silver." Zhang Xiaowu understood that Huang Sheng wanted to ask him for silver, so he smiled slightly and said, "The merchant will find the adult in the next few days, and ask the adult to receive it." Huang Sheng saw that he understood what he meant, so he smiled and handed him the entry paper, and asked him to help him buy some osmanthus cakes after entering the city.
This Huang Sheng is a man in his fifties, good wine and lust and likes sweets, especially likes to eat osmanthus cakes, this shop selling osmanthus cakes in Mucheng heard that the Jincheng battlefield has been fighting, so he rolled up the covers and fled back to the two wolf passes.
Zhang Xiaowu said that it is no wonder that more and more people have gone to the two wolf passes in the past few days, and the people actually got the news before themselves, Huang Sheng laughed and said that it was just rumors, Jincheng had not yet fought, and the people had already imagined that the fight would not be good. Zhang Xiaowu asked Hu Sanwan to inform the merchants about the protection fee along the road, and asked other merchants to send silver to Huang Sheng, and the merchants had no objections for safety, and Huang Sheng made a lot of money, which made Su Yu red.
Mucheng is only 100 miles away from the two wolf passes, and the official road along the road does not pass through the soft sand dunes and Gobi, but is mostly the grass formed by mud and fine sand, and the road is flat and much easier to walk. It only takes one day to ride a horse, and two days to walk a large group of people. After everything was prepared, under the protection of the 300 infantry cavalry of the Dead Battalion, the caravan headed south towards the Two Wolf Pass.
A group of people went to the Two Wolves Pass, but along the way they encountered a lot of heavy grain and grass troops, and after careful inquiry, they learned that the customs are now stepping up the collection of food and wages, and even the food and salary of some state capitals have been levied for three years. Zhang Xiaowu and the generals looked at each other, so unscrupulously oppressing the people, I was afraid that it would cause a change in the Central Plains.
During the lunch break, Zhang Xiaowu had dinner with the generals, and heard Wang Yijin report that the second lady's maid Cui'e was invited to meet, Zhang Xiaowu saw Cui'e alone and asked, "Miss Cui'e, why are you looking for me?" ”
Cui'e said timidly: "The servant thanks Engong for saving his life. ”
"No thanks, your eldest lady has already thanked you." Zhang Xiaowu said, he hadn't paid attention to this maid before, but now that he saw it, he felt that this maid was actually delicate and lovely, and the maid next to the second lady was also so exquisite, and he said that the Gu family deserved to be a famous family.
Cui'e said seriously: "Kindness's kindness, Cui'e has nothing to repay, she can only show it to Grace Gong." ”
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Please speak." ”
Cui'e bit her lip and said in a low voice: "My second lady and Engong are a match made in heaven, if Engong can come to Gufu to propose, Cui'e will definitely try her best to be considerate." ”
Zhang Xiaowu was stunned, and laughed after a while: "This ...... Miss Cui'e, are you going to be a matchmaker? ”
Cui'e pursed her lips and smiled, and said in a low voice: "Last night, the second miss had a dream, and I read the name of Engong dozens of times, and I hope that Engong will not live up to the second miss's heart." ”
Zhang Xiaowu has lived two lives, and today is the first time he has encountered a "confession", he touched his nose embarrassedly, took a breath and said, "This...... Thank you, Miss Cui'e, maybe you young lady was too strict when I taught her, and hated me to death in your heart. Don't be suspicious, and don't make decisions indiscriminately, otherwise your young lady will never spare you. ”
Cui'e hurriedly said: "I didn't lie to you, really, it's true, if the second miss doesn't have a heart......
"Miss Cui'e!" Zhang Xiaowu interrupted her words and said, "Don't talk nonsense about some things, although you are favored in the Gu family, but speculating about the master's meaning will lead to burning." Also, Miss Cui'e, I already have a wife. ”
Cui'e was dumbfounded: "What? Eun Gong is already married? ”
Zhang Xiaowu nodded, and Cui'e thanked her in disappointment and turned to leave.
