Chapter 268: Good thoughts in the next life
On that day, before dawn, Gao Hongyi and others set off, their residence was some distance from Sheng'an Temple, and they went so early for fear of delay, and second, if there were any changes, they should prepare early.
Sheng'an Temple is located in the southeast of the central capital, it looks magnificent and majestic from a distance, and it looks majestic and solemn up close, and it is very magnificent. Although the sun is only half over, there are already many people who come to the temple to worship incense, and there are already vendors on the left and right sides of the street.
Gao Hongyi entered a nearby inn and went to the room that Mei Rou had already arranged, this room was just at the corner of the road, and the street on the left and right was clear, and the view was very good.
"My lord, the brothers of Chaotianmen have captured two golden soldiers who are following us."
"Got it."
"My lord, there are two fewer people following us than before, and the two who caught them didn't kill themselves." Tu Su hesitated and said.
"Then get them out as soon as possible, so as not to get in the way!" Gao Hongyi said lightly, he could tell that Tu Su was a little worried, and the most important thing was whether his trip was safe and smooth.
Tu Su went out to spread Gao Hongyi's words, but before he came back, Mei Rou arrived first.
Gao Hongyi was shocked when he saw Mei Rou, it turned out that Mei Rou was wearing a costume unique to the Kingdom of Jin, coupled with her young age and small face, she looked like a spoiled little princess, which made people can't help but take a few more looks. From a chivalrous general to a small jasper, this has changed a lot, and Gao Hongyi really didn't recognize it at once.
"How did you choose this outfit?" Gao Hongyi is very curious, today is a robbery field, not a beauty pageant.
"Oh, my lord, it's easy to put on and put on this dress, what's wrong?" Mei Rou untied her coat, and there was a child's brother's clothes inside.
Gao Hongyi then understood and said, "Yes, I didn't expect to wear it like this." As he spoke, he also added a set of gold costumes to his clothes, so that the two of them would not look so awkward when they walked together.
"It's just a little hot." Mei Rou watched him learn from herself and reminded him.
"No problem." Gao Hongyi was already dressed when he spoke.
At this time, it was already bright and sunny, and it was a good day. A carrier pigeon flew over from outside, obviously ready, Mei Rou took the carrier pigeon, took out a note from it and told Gao Hongyi that the prisoner car had departed.
"Let's go down and get ready." Gao Hongyi looked out the window like Sheng'an Temple not far away, pilgrims were already in an endless stream, and there were all kinds of strange people in the crowd, and only in the capital of the Jin Kingdom could you see this scene.
There is a small lake next to Sheng'an Temple, called Willow Lake, the lake is not big, the weeping willows on both sides of the bank are very luxuriant, if it is summer, it is a good place to enjoy the coolness. It's just that it's late autumn now, and the lake is a little cooler. After Gao Hongyi waited for Tu Su to come back, he took him and Mei Rou to the lake together.
There are relatively few people by the lake, and they are all idle people, or golden sedan chairmen and entourages waiting for their masters, and the three of them are dressed up in gold and will not attract attention here. If the Song people were dressed up, it is estimated that they have been interrogated by the Jin soldiers near the left.
Gao Hongyi looked around, and saw that there were many golden people like him around Sheng'an Temple, but there were very few cuffs that leaked out of their wrists, and they were the brothers of Chaotianmen.
There is a two-story small building on the left side of the gate of Sheng'an Temple, and there is an incense burner placed there by the window of Gao Hongyi in front of the small building, which is a secret signal that the temple is ready. At this point, everything is ready, and it is just waiting for the prisoner car to arrive.
"My lord, if we rescue this Mr. Yun Zhan, will he not know anything? Can't help us? The three of them were bored waiting on the side, so Tu Su found a conversation and asked Gao Hongyi.
Mei Rou glanced at Tu Su and said with a little disgust: "The adult has long said that rescuing this person is not whether he is useful to us, you don't remember the adult's words, and ask here over and over again, won't it annoy him." ”
"I know, don't I also hope that Feng Yunzhan has the information we need, and let's rescue him, just the best of both worlds?"
"Then you don't finish it in one sitting."
Mei Rou didn't want to talk to Tu Su, don't look over, and found that Gao Hongyi was looking to the west of Sheng'an Temple, Sheng'an Temple sits north and faces south, their people are all in the east, and there is Liuhu Village in the west. There are many small merchants and hawkers, and it seems to be a little more lively than in front of the Sheng'an Temple.
"Mei Rou, is there a difference between here two days ago and today?" Gao Hongyi asked.
"Back to adults, there is not much difference, but there are more hawkers, maybe today is a good day, and there are more pedestrians coming and going."
"Oh yes, it's fifteen today." Gao Hongyi then thought that on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, there are indeed a little more pilgrims who enter the incense and make vows than usual, and there seem to be a lot of family members of those dignitaries. "It's a good day today, it looks like I'm thinking too much." He said with a smile, but he knew in his heart that the stakes were high today, and if something went wrong, it was very likely that everything would be over, so he was more cautious than ever.
"However, my lord, there are indeed some strange things here today, and there are always some things wrong with many people, so let's be careful." Mei Rou reminded.
At this time, the incense burner next to the previous window was brought down, which was the signal of the prisoner car.
"My lord, get ready to do it!" Mei Rou asked, she didn't know what was going on with a paper windmill in her hand, but when Gao Hongyi gave an order, she lifted the windmill up, and the brothers of Chaotianmen would rush up.
"Good!" The prisoner car has not yet reached the intersection, so naturally it will not move.
At this time, a Chaotianmen subordinate dressed as a golden man quietly touched the side of Gao Hongyi and the others, and whispered to them, "Master, the number of Jin soldiers escorting the prisoner cart is wrong, there are four or five hundred people today." ”
"Ah, twice as much as before?" Tu Su became nervous, and both of them looked at Gao Hongyi.
"Don't panic, just wait and see. What about twice as much, there are many pilgrims here, and it is difficult to display it if there are many people. Gao Hongyi reassured them that they couldn't mess up on their side, otherwise they would lose their efforts before they started.
However, before Gao Hongyi's words fell, new news came, "My lord, Jin Bing escorted twenty prisoners this time. ”
"There are twice as many prisoners as before, so it's no wonder that the number of gold soldiers escorted has increased." Gao Hongyi realized that it was a false alarm.
"My lord, Feng Yunzhan is here." Tu Su and the others had already walked near the intersection at this time, and they saw the prisoner cart slowly coming, and the news that Gao Hongyi and the others had inquired about before was that Feng Yunzhan was on the fifth prisoner cart. These are not secrets, I know the first few prisoner cars, so that the families of death row inmates can say goodbye to death row inmates as soon as possible when the death row car is at a standstill, and some of them make food and drink to eat with death row inmates, hoping to taste the taste of family food on the way, and find home after death!
Gao Hongyi also saw the fifth prisoner cart at this time, the person in the prisoner cart was pale, his body was thin, and there were blood stains on his legs and feet, obviously tortured. It's just that although this person is extremely weak, his eyebrows are arrogant, and when the prisoner car stopped, he actually laughed out loud, and his laughter was hearty and happy, not like going to death, but to amusement. This person must be Feng Yunzhan.
The prisoner car stopped at the intersection, surrounded by Jin Bing, and those family members who were holding wine and food handed the wine and food to Jin Bing, looking at the one in their home with sadness and crying, unwilling to give up all in tears. The monks of St. Ann Monastery have long been ready to pray for the death row inmates in a special place near the prisoner's car, wishing them to be good people in the next life.
And near the prisoner car, there are also some prisoners' relatives who can get close to the car, clearly marked the price, Tong Su is not bullied, a person can go to the prisoner car with a silver ingot to say goodbye to the death row prisoner, Gao Hongyi and others have taken off the coat of the golden man at the moment, the three of them are the appearance of the Song people's son, Tu Su first made the money to the prisoner car, and personally confirmed with the person that it was Feng Yunzhan, and hurriedly beckoned Gao Hongyi to go over, Mei Rou commanded everything in the periphery, just waiting for the prisoner car to start, the relatives all gathered around the prisoner car, and there would be a wave of small riots, it was a good time to do it.
Gao Hongyi saw Tu Su's signal and was about to go over, when someone suddenly pulled him from behind, "Don't move." ”
