Chapter 049: The Three-Inch Tongue (I)
Cao Gan speaks with a Jiangxi accent? If so, then Liu Ling's suspicion is likely to be true.
Gao Shi pondered for a moment and asked, "So you mean to say that Cao Gan may have been a subordinate of the traitor Zhang Lian?" ”
"I think it's very likely." Although Liu Wei was very arrogant, he was also a little worried at the moment: "After all, it involves rebellion, Gao Gongzi, do you think we should inform my father about this matter first?" ”
Gao Pragmatic thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm not busy, let's confirm it first, what if it's just a false alarm?" Let's go, Brother Zishou, let's talk to Cao Gan again. ”
Liu Wei said in his heart: This Gao Gongzi's courage is really not small, but ...... Well, no one else knows about it now, so what if I'm just a guard? If it's really a thief, it's not too late for me to report back to my father later.
So the two returned to the wing room where Cao Gan was imprisoned again, Cao Gan was very calm at this time, although his whole body was tied, he was still calmly closing his eyes and recuperating.
"Cao Da is at ease." Seeing this, Gao Pragmatic smiled and said, "Why don't we just put a few side dishes, blanch a pot of wine, and have a good chat?" ”
Cao Gan slowly opened his eyes at this time. He glanced at Gao Pragmatic first, then at Liu Wei, and smiled: "Cao doesn't care what kind of side dishes it is, but if there is wine, it's not bad." ”
Gao Shishi laughed, and really turned around and went to the door, and called Wei Ximin, who was waiting not far away, to prepare a few snacks and get two pots of spirits.
As Zhang's Annex, Sanshenyuan is ready to entertain guests at any time, so this requirement is very easy to handle, not to mention that Wei Ximin is now afraid that he will run out of errands and gradually fall out of favor in front of the new owner of Sanshenyuan, and he will try his best to show his ability, so he hurriedly said that he can do it immediately.
Gao pragmatic returned to the wing room and said to Liu Wei: "Brother Zishou, I will invite Master Cao to have a few drinks in a while, and you can loosen the tie for him." ”
Of course, Cao Gan and Liu Wei both knew why Gao Pragmatic didn't personally untie Cao Gan - he had no resistance to Cao Gan, what if he was taken hostage again? And it doesn't matter if he is Liu Ling, not to mention that Cao Gan is injured, even if there is no injury and no pain, he Cao Da will not be able to ask for any benefit in front of Liu Wei.
Liu Wei sighed, in fact, he didn't agree with letting go of Cao Gan, although in terms of martial arts, he dared to say that he was fearless even in the face of two Cao Gan, but since he was going to invite Cao Gan to drink, he must be the one who played the role of a bodyguard. Although Liu Wei is conceited of his martial arts, he feels that his martial arts are longer than killing the enemy in the battle array, and he is really not very confident in his bodyguarding business, and now his father has a request for Gao Gongzi, in case he let Cao Gan hurt him in front of him this time, then there will be no place to put his face.
But think about it, since Gao Pragmatic is here, and now this matter is led by Gao Pragmatic, and he has no choice but to cooperate - after all, Gao Pragmatic dares to do this, which is also his trust in Liu Ling, and Liu Ling, an upright young man, thinks that he must be worthy of this trust.
Liu Wei stepped forward to untie the rope on Cao Gan's body, but he did not hide his distrust of him at all, and said coldly: "The surname Cao, Gao Gongzi has repaid your grievances with virtue, if you still have any ideas that you don't know what to do, don't blame the master for being you're welcome." ”
Cao Gan also sneered: "If you don't dare, why untie it?" ”
Liu Wei raised his chin slightly, and said proudly: "It's up to you, and I don't dare to question the master?" Hmph, if you are not convinced, you can take care of your hand injury and then compare with the master, I will let you have one hand, how about it? ”
Cao Gan stared at Liu Ling's eyes, and Liu Ling also stared at Cao Gan's eyes, if these two people could kill with their eyes, it is estimated that the other party should have been cut by a thousand knives.
Gao Shishi laughed, waved his hand and said: "Brother Zishou, don't worry, I think Cao Da is a sensible person who understands advance and retreat, and will not do anything unwise." ”
Liu Wei naturally didn't put on a face for Gao Pragmatic, and when he heard this, he glared at Cao Gan fiercely, and then retreated to Gao Pragmatic's side.
Cao Gan squinted at Gao Pragmatic, and said mockingly: "Since Gao Gongzi said that I am sensible and understand how to advance and retreat, and I will not do anything unwise, why don't I dare to step forward?" ”
Gao Pragmatic is not a tender-faced person, he just smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said: "That's different, I stay in a place where Master Cao Da can't reach, and Master Cao will naturally be wise, but if I send it to Master Cao Da within reach, no matter whether Master Cao is wise or not, I myself will be unwise in the first place...... Hasn't Master Cao heard that 'a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall'? ”
Cao Gan snorted: "It's really easy for scholars to find excuses, I'm afraid is afraid, but it makes sense." ”
Gao pragmatic smiled: "Confucius said: 'A gentleman has three fears: fear of the mandate of heaven, fear of adults, and fear of the words of sages. The villain does not know the destiny of heaven and is not afraid, and the lord insults the words of the saint. 'Master Cao, I obey the words of the sage, but you despise the words of the sage, so although I am a child, I can travel freely; Although you are brave, you only live in the mountains and wilderness. ”
Cao Gan said angrily: "You can travel the four seas freely, relying on you having an uncle who is the old man of the Emperor Pavilion; I live in the mountains just because I was framed! It's about his hole! ”
Gao Pragmatic raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically: "Framed?" This is strange, isn't your Cao Tianwang the chief of the Baili Gorge Horse Thief who has been rampant in the north for many years? ”
Cao Gan suddenly woke up: "You kid want to probe my bottom?" ”
Gao Pragmatic sighed: "I just saw that you are extraordinary in martial arts, and you are even more courageous, I don't want to hand you over to Shuntianfu indiscriminately, and you will lose your life in vain, why are you so nervous?" ”
"What am I so nervous about?" Cao Gan sneered: "Boy, don't think that only you scholars can know those conspiracies, don't you just want to fool me, so that you can easily take down more than 1,000 people in the entire Baili Gorge and give a big gift to the Emperor of the Zhu family?" Really, I can't guess? ”
Liu Ling's heart tightened when he heard this, and said secretly: Oops, this surnamed Cao looks like a rough blank, but he can't think of his brain, but his mind is tight, and I am afraid that Gao Gongzi's business will not be able to continue.
Unexpectedly, Gao was pragmatic but not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Since you know that I have an uncle who is the elder of the Emperor Pavilion, you must also know that my third uncle speaks in front of His Majesty, and he has always been a hundred and all right." Then why don't you think about it anymore, no matter how easy it is to defend and difficult to attack in your Baili Gorge, how to make your troops strong and strong, if my third uncle really wants to suppress it, isn't it a matter of one sentence? ”
Cao Gan's face was like a grassy beard, and he stared at Gao Pragmatic with a pair of ringed eyes: "How are you doing?" ”
"I wasn't going to do anything." Gao pragmatic spread his hands innocently: "I originally just wanted to find a way out for you, but you are guarding me like a thief...... Master Cao, why don't you want to think about it, I was blocked in the suburbs of Beijing by your Bailixia Xiangma, beaten and captured, and almost gave me my life. Can such a big thing be hidden? My third uncle and uncle, who are they, I, who is a junior in Beijing, almost killed Xiangma, they are public and private, I am afraid they all have to take your Baili Gorge to open the knife, otherwise how will I gain a foothold in the court in the future? ”
