Chapter 29: Man is ambitious but incompetent
"Hongyi, someone brought it to you." Li Xian got off his horse and fell to the ground tired.
"Sir!" Gao Hongyi immediately stepped forward to help him up, and after checking, he knew that Li Xian was fine, but he was too tired, so he quickly relieved himself and hurriedly ordered everyone to carry Li Xian to the camp tent to rest.
"Lord Gao, Mei Rou was ordered to bring the 2,000 soldiers of Black Flag City, all of them arrived, and they were at the disposal of the adults!" Black Flag City Lord Mei Rou said loudly in a crisp childlike voice.
Gao Hongyi helped Mei Rou up with a grateful face, "City Lord Mei, it's hard work." ”
"I can serve the adults and work hard!"
"Good!"
Gao Hongyi strode back to the high platform, pulled out his sword and pointed to the sky and shouted: "Soldiers, Hongyi knows that you have worked very hard all the way, and I don't want to bother you anymore. However, the traitor Shi Hu intended to rebel and murder the general, and the matter was urgent, so he had to work hard for you. Rest assured, as long as the thief Shihu is killed, Hongyi will be grateful! ”
At that time, the sergeants replied loudly: "Dare to die for the adult, and work hard!" ”
"Good! Go out with me and kill the thief! ”
Gao Hongyi said that he was about to take people away when he got on the horse with his sword, but Li Zhong suddenly thought of something, ran over and asked: "Brother Yi, the four gates of the north moat are now closed and heavily defended, how can we get in?" ”
"Brother Li, don't worry, although the north moat is now impregnable, but Hongyi stole to the hunting ground to play earlier, and accidentally found a drainage tunnel leading to the vicinity of the north gate, which can come in handy at this time!"
"Oh, no wonder you are so calm, at this time there are soldiers and secret passages, and the general is saved!"
......
"Master, the city lords have arrived." Qin Xi frowned and said, "However, Vice General Shi and General Ma's family haven't come yet, do you want to go over?" ”
"Wait." Gao Yuanhe walked around the council hall and suddenly asked, "What about Yi'er and Li Zhong?" ”
"I've sent someone out to look for it, but there's no news yet." Qin Xi replied.
Gao Yuanhe had a bad feeling in his heart, he secretly thought, at such a critical juncture, the two of them are gone, could it be that something happened? Probably not, the northern moat is now under their own control, no one can send a single soldier, and the city gate has been closed early, no one will dare to do anything to them. Yi'er likes to drink recently, and Li Zhong is also a lover of wine, are the two of them. "Immediately send someone to search the restaurants and restaurants in the city, and if you find Yi'er and Li Zhong, bring them back immediately." Gao Yuanhe said with a solemn face.
"Yes," Qin Xi went down and ordered.
After a while, Qin Xi ran back again, "Master, Vice General Shi has arrived." ”
Gao Yuanhe nodded, "What about Ma Tangfeng and the others?" ”
"I haven't come yet, do you want to send someone to urge me again."
The wind was blowing stronger and stronger, and the paper windows were blowing, and Gao Yuanhe walked to the lobby and hung his sword on his waist. "No, let me go." Gao Yuanhe said and straightened his clothes seriously, and walked towards the waiting room.
The living room is a little more central on the left side of the Castle Lord's Mansion, with the residence of the Castle Lord's Mansion Guards in front and the school field in the back, a rectangular independent building that is about the size of six rooms. In front of the door, there were guards from the City Lord's Mansion, all of them looking around energetically. There was a commotion inside, Gao Yuanhe heard the noise from afar, he was a little irritable in his heart, and strode in, and everyone saw him coming, and hurriedly silenced.
Gao Yuanhe walked straight to the main seat with a gloomy face, stood there and glanced at everyone below, and when he saw a bright Shi Hu, he slightly frowned. "Sit down." He said.
"General Xie." Everyone sat down.
Gao Yuanhe picked up the wine glass, looked at the people below and said solemnly: "Please come over today, there are two things. The first thing is to see you off, Ben will know that although you are the lord of a city, there are many things, and you will have to take charge of the people for Ben General, and you will have to defend against strong enemies. Internal affairs and military affairs are shoulder-to-shoulder, and it is indeed hard work. In the past few days, in order to welcome Lord Qincha, you have worked tirelessly, and you will arrive immediately after receiving the order, and the general will be very relieved.
Now that Lord Chincha is gone, everyone is relieved, but you must not slack off. After all, we are in the border land, there is a threat from Mongolia, and there is an invasion of the Tanguts next to us, if you relax, the enemy will have an opportunity to take advantage of it, if you take the opportunity to sneak attack, wouldn't it be painful!
Today I will prepare a glass of wine, to you! I hope that you can do your duty when you go back this time, for the people of Beihu, for the general, for the court, and even for yourself, do your duty as the city lord, and the general will rest assured. ”
After Gao Yuanhe finished speaking, he drank it all, and all the city lords also drank the wine in their cups, and said one after another:
"The general can rest assured, his subordinates will live up to the general's trust."
"Humble duty, remember the general's teachings!"
"The ministers will do their duty and live up to the general's expectations!"
Gao Yuanhe nodded and continued: "This second thing, Ben Jiang was originally reluctant to mention here, for fear of ruining your interest, but in order for the Beihu Mansion to be able to maintain peace and stability for a long time in the future, Ben Jiang had to tell you.
In recent years, with the concerted efforts of everyone, the land of the North Protector has gained a moment of peace, which is the credit of all of you, and it is the blessing of the people of the North Protector!
But it's too peaceful, but it makes some arrogant villains who don't know the height of the sky don't like it, they want to break this peace, and want to collude with others to destroy my Gao family, and achieve their ambition to unify the north protection.
Originally, after finding these people, Ben Jiang remembered that these people had made great achievements for the Northern Protector, and wanted to give them a chance, spare them, and let them change their ways. But now it seems that Ben will look up to them!
Human ambition knows no bounds, and until the day they fail, they will not believe that there are things they can have, and there are things they don't even think about! They don't have that ability, and they don't have that life! The only thing they have is that they are too bold! ”
Gao Yuanhe stood up as he spoke, looked at Shi Hu with a playful expression, and asked softly, "Shi Hu, what Ben will say is right?" ”
Shi Hu looked at Gao Yuanhe with a relaxed face, he had been listening carefully to every word Gao Yuanhe said, but his expression was so calm, even when Gao Yuanhe called him, he immediately stood up and returned indignantly: "General, who are these people, I will take people to cut them." ”
"These people are not outside, they are among you, General Shi doesn't remember them?"
After Gao Yuanhe finished speaking, everyone immediately panicked, looked at each other, and seemed to be looking for Gao Yuanhe and the person in his mouth again. However, Shi Hu stared at Gao Yuanhe tightly with a pair of big eyes, and replied helplessly: "How can the subordinates recognize the thief in the general's mouth?" ”
"Shi Hu, who are you going to pretend to show now! Aren't you the leader of these people? Gao Yuanhe said softly.
"Where does the general say this, he has always been dutiful and loyal, how dare he rebel against the general!" Shi Hu replied innocently.
Gao Yuanhe couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Shi Hu, Vice General Shi, I have known you for so many years, and today I found out that you still have the ability to change your face!" It's just that it's useless now. ”
"Left and right, take down the thief Shihu for me!"
