Confucius said: Exercise is the best way to ward off the cold. At this time, Guan Yu not only had no cold on his body, but also had a layer of fine sweat. Yun Niang in her arms was more like she had just been fished out of the water, and her long black and shiny hair was wet. She bit her lower lip slightly, as if she had suddenly lost the courage to face the shameless man, and pressed her head against his hot chest, her body curled up into a ball and remained motionless, allowing his warm hand to caress her back. A round and crystal bead of blood slid silently down on the grass bunk, and soon disappeared.

The rain had stopped all night, and a faint mist filled the valley. The sun slowly crept up the ridge and looked curiously into the cave.

The two well-dressed men walked out of the cave hand in hand and came to the edge of the pool. After washing up separately, Nie Yunniang sat on a big stone and asked Guan Yu to coil up her long hair. The clumsy General Guan tossed for a long time, and the more messy it became, Yun Niang had no choice but to push him away with a smile and do it herself.

"Do you hold this dagger or do I hold it?" Guan Yu asked.

Yun Niang said without hesitation: "I was robbed by you last time, and I really sent you this time!" This dagger is my beloved thing, I always carry it with me, you can never lose it. ”

Guan Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry! I'll keep it in my arms for the rest of my life. After speaking, he walked to a big tree, cut off a thick branch, and handed it to Nie Yunniang after peeling off the rough skin.

"We estimate that we will have to walk a long way to get out, and you can't walk with it, so I will carry you."

Nie Yunniang's face flushed, and she whispered: "Phew, who wants you to carry it!" ”。

Qin Yongnian, known as Qin Ye, was a shrewd businessman, not only a wealthy man, but also one of the few surviving giants under the rule of the Taiping Army. Seeing that the situation was not right, he took the initiative to visit Gao Jinbao, offered a huge amount of money, and swore to become a Taiping Taoist. As soon as his identity changed, no one dared to attack his business and land. Even so, he also took the initiative to provide a large amount of money, food and grass to the Taiping Army every year, and maintained a good personal relationship with the "Thor" by constantly honoring jewelry and beauties.

His eldest son, Qin Hanlin, complained about this, at first he just complained in private, and then finally couldn't help but ask his father to question him face to face.

"Father, the child can't figure it out, why should our hard-earned money be given to the Taiping Army in vain!" Qin Hanlin tilted his head angrily and said.

Qin Yongnian waved his hand and asked all his subordinates to retreat. Fushu smiled: "I have seen that you are worried about this, what else, let's say it together!" ”。

Qin Hanlin bowed and said, "Father, do you really believe that mung bean eye is the reincarnation of the "Thunder God"? Do you really believe that the so-called heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals are invulnerable? Doesn't every time a war starts, a lot of people die? These tricks deceive those illiterate villagers, you are always well-informed, how can you join the Taiping Road, the child really can't figure it out! ”

There was a long silence. Qin Hanlin raised his head strangely, but saw his father tilting his head and closing his eyes slightly, as if he hadn't heard at all.

Seeing that Hanlin stopped talking. Qin Yongnian kept his eyes closed and asked softly, "Are you done?" ”

"Not yet! The child thinks that to deal with this gang of bandits who have brought disaster to the country and the people, not only should they not provide funding, but they should recruit people to fight them to the death! ”。

Qin Yongnian opened his eyes suddenly, and reprimanded: "Presumptuous! On your knees! ”。

Seeing Qin Hanlin kneeling on the ground unconvinced, and stopped for a long time, Qin Yongnian sighed softly and said slowly: "Son, our Qin family has been in business for generations, so we have today's family business. Don't you really understand that your father is attached to the flames and seeks perfection? Since ancient times, merchants do not fight with officials, and merchants do not fight with bandits, because they all hold knives and handles in their hands! Even if you have thousands of family wealth, it is a blink of an eye to annoy them, saying that you are all over the door and letting your family wealth disappear! The essence of doing business is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages! Don't you open your eyes and see, within a radius of a hundred miles, who used to do business, except for our Qin family, which one is not ruined? ”。

Seeing that Qin Hanlin bowed his head and was silent, Qin Yongnian waved his hand and said, "Get up!" In these troubled times, Mingzhe's self-preservation is the first. To be a father is to spend money to buy peace. Isn't it for our family? Young people are strong-blooded, and you are not to blame for being a father, but you must remember not to come nonsense! Think about your family! ”。

The defeated Gao Jinbao needs to recruit a large number of troops again, but these will require a lot of money. Gao Jinbao played with a piece of beautiful jade offered by Qin Ye in his hand, and squinted his little mung bean eyes to make an idea.

A few days later, Qin Hanlin, who went out to do business, was suddenly imprisoned in the prison of the Taiping Army.

Qin Yongnian, who got the news, hurried to the camp of the Taiping Army and met the "Thor".

After prostrating, Qin Yongnian opened his mouth and asked, "Holy Father is above, what crime has my son committed?" But I don't know why I went to prison? ”

Gao Jinbao took a few steps forward, clasped his hands together, and said, "Master Qin, please get up, why do you have to be so polite between you and me?" Sit down first and speak slowly. ”

After the two of them sat down, Gao Jinbao clicked his lips and frowned, "You don't come to the deity and want to find you!" It's a tricky matter. I heard from the people below that they found secret letters with the imperial court from the noble son, no wonder our army is unfavorable this time! ”。

Qin Yongnian exclaimed: "Impossible! Dogs rarely leave home, how can they collude with the imperial court? This must be framed by someone! My Qin family subsidizes a large amount of gold, silver, grain and grass for the Taiping Holy Army every year, and I myself am also a Taiping Taoist, and my courage and loyalty can be seen by the sun and the moon! ”。

Gao Jinbao nodded again and again: "The deity knows it!" I have ordered them to investigate strictly, and they will never wronged your son, so don't worry! ”。

Before the words fell, several generals walked in and said: "Holy Father, you have ordered us to seize a large number of swords, guns and banners from the backyard of the Qin Mansion overnight!" ”。

With a "poof", Qin Yongnian sat on the ground, sweating profusely. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and kowtowed, "I'm guilty!" This rebel son dared to be so disobedient and begged the Holy Father to kill the rebel according to my Taiping Code. In order to show repentance, my Qin Mansion has doubled its donations every year. ”

Gao Jinbao sneered: "The evidence is like a mountain, and the deity can't help it!" It's just Qin Ye, you are also a senior Taoist friend, but my Taiping Code clearly stipulates that the court is secretly connected, and everyone who betrays his brothers will be punished, and that will destroy the door! ”。

Qin Yongnian raised his head suddenly, and there was no timidity on his pale face. He sat on the ground and laughed like crazy, and said to himself while crying: "I can't hide from the first day of junior high school, but I can't escape this disaster despite all my efforts!" ”。

He stood up and patted the dust, looked directly at the "Thor" with his eyes, and said lightly: "Gao Jinbao, have you thought about it?" Destroying my Qin family is tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs, what will you do in the future? It's a pity that the industry of my Qin family for several generations has been cut off, and no one can operate it. ”

Gao Jinbao suddenly changed color, and said angrily: "Presumptuous! It's because you're still a Taoist friend, the deity will give you a little thin face, but you give a shameless face, and even the Holy Father dares to call him by his name! It seems that there is indeed a collaborator with the enemy. Someone came, put him in prison, and after strict interrogation according to my Taiping Code, the father and son were beheaded together! ”。

More than a dozen sword-wielding warriors who had been waiting outside the tent rushed in, pressed Qin Ye to the ground, tied him up, and pushed him out. Qin Ye looked up to the sky and laughed wildly as he walked, and scolded non-stop: "Gao Jinbao, Taiping bandits, you will not die sooner or later!" ”。 Several samurai scrambled to find strips of rags and hurriedly gagged him tightly.

Gao Jinbao, who was still angry, shouted: "Come and prepare horses, come with me to raid the Qin Mansion!" ”

The majestic Gao Jinbao led a large number of people to the gate of the Qin Mansion, which had already been surrounded by the Taiping soldiers who had been arranged in advance, and the door of the mansion was open but no one entered or exited.

Gao Jinbao jumped off the horse and strode in with a horsewhip in hand.

A general trotted up to meet him, knelt down and saluted: "Visiting the Holy Father, more than 70 members of the Qin Mansion family were all arrested and tied up in the courtyard waiting for the fall, and no one escaped the net." Several other courtyards and shops have also been seized by troops. ”

Gao Jinbao nodded with satisfaction: "Well done!" The deity then has its own reward! ”

The general got up and attached to Gao Jinbao's ear after thanking him, and said, "Now let's send it!" The Qin family has countless gold and silver treasures, and the last general has already prepared the jewels for the Holy Father to choose later. In addition, Qin Ye's concubines are quite attractive, and it is a pity to kill them all, and the Holy Father has passed through them first. ”

Gao Jinbao threw him an admiring glance, then turned and raised his feet to walk towards the crowd of people who were tied up and sturdy, kneeling on the ground and crying.

"You, you, and you, stand up and take a step forward." Gao Jinbao pointed at the three handsome and slender young women in the crowd with a horsewhip.

Three shivering young women, with unkempt hair and pale faces, stood up and walked out.

"The deity is the reincarnation of the thunder god, the holy father of the Taiping army, are you willing to serve the deity?" Gao Jinbao said arrogantly with a raised face.

"I don't want to die in a while!" Looking at the three stunned and good-looking young women, Gao Jinbao liked it from the bottom of his heart. But he couldn't help but add.

"I do!" A woman in Tsing Yi on the far left of the three said and knelt on the ground, raised her head and said, "I am fortunate to be able to serve the Holy Father and the slave maid for three lives." ”

Gao Jinbao laughed and picked her up, and couldn't help but look at it carefully: this woman has two curved thin eyebrows, a high nose bridge, flirtatious eyebrows, a bright cherry mouth, a bumpy figure, and soft white and smooth skin. Thor swallowed hard and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The woman smiled and said, "Back to the Holy Father, the concubine's name is Xiaocui." ”

Gao Jinbao waved his hand and said, "Come on, untie her." ”

At this time, a middle-aged woman stood up in the crowd and scolded: "Slut! Thanks to the master, I love you the most on weekdays! Now that the master is in trouble, life and death are uncertain, but you immediately sell yourself to make a living, which is really shameless! ”

Xiao Cui's body shook when she heard this, and she slowly lowered her head.

Gao Jinbao pointed at the woman and said angrily: "Kill her!" A soldier stepped forward a few steps as ordered, dragged the woman out of the crowd by the hair, and plunged her in the abdomen.

The woman fell to the ground with a scream, kicking her feet a few times before she lost her breath. The blood spiked into a small puddle on the ground.

"What about the two of you?" Gao Jinbao turned to the other two girls with a slight displeasure.

Although the two men turned pale with fright, their bodies were like chaff, but they still bit their lower lipes and shook their heads firmly.

Gao Jinbao took Xiao Cui into his arms, turned around and strode out, and commanded: "Kill them all!" ”

There was a cry behind him, and blood splattered everywhere.

Xiao Cui didn't dare to look back, but trembled and hugged Gao Jinbao's fat waist tightly, and followed him out of the door.
