Text Chapter 163 Outside the Closed Hill City
In the camp of the Golden Gun Class in the inner city, Xu Ning walked out in a sympathetic, or shameful, or indifferent gaze, he knew that this place would never come back, but there was no trace of reluctance in his heart, in fact, when he received the appointment document from Bazhou, Hebei, he also abandoned the only remaining hope for this yamen or the imperial court.
After returning home, Xu Ning made arrangements for the relevant matters at home, and changed into civilian clothes and went to Xiangguo Temple.
Lu Zhishen didn't know that such a big change had happened in the Xu family in the past few days, and after hearing this, he was about to go to Gao Yanei and Lu Qian for trouble, but Xu Ning hurriedly stopped him.
"Master, I want to see the ancient petty officials, but I don't dare to go straight for fear of being watched, and I bother people to lead him here quietly, but I don't know if it's convenient."
What Xu Ning is most eager to see now is Gu Haotian, how he wants to act next, first of all, they must be connected, because at least the safety of his wife and daughter still depends on this side.
Lu Zhishen didn't say anything, and immediately asked Zhang San to go to the Shanshui Inn to deliver the letter.
Since Lu Qian reported to the Jurchens, there have been more and more unknown people outside the Shanshui Inn in the past two days, although they look like most of them are Han Chinese, but these people must not have any good intentions, and there is no shortage of people like Lu Qian in Tokyo now.
Bian Xiang and Zhu Gui put the guard far away on the surrounding peripheral streets, if a stranger appeared, the inn would know it for the first time, so Zhang Sanyi was found at the entrance of the street.
Then Gu Haotian, Xu Guanzhong, Bian Xiang and others quietly got into an ox cart from the house they bought in the backyard and took some detours into the vegetable garden of Xiangguo Temple.
"The teacher made a big fuss yesterday, but today he is not on duty, aren't you afraid of being caught in the wrong place by the captain?" Gu Haotian asked as soon as he entered the door.
"Humph! You don't need to be worth it anymore! ”
Xu Ning sneered and handed over the appointment paperwork. Everyone gathered around and couldn't help but be surprised.
"Gao Yu is vicious, this is to put the teacher to death! Bazhou is on the border of Zhouliao, on the side of the Baigou River, if the Three Kingdoms go to war, this will bear the brunt, and he doesn't plan to let the teacher come back. ”
Xu Guanzhong is from Hebei and knows the geography of Bazhou very well, everyone listened to his twists and turns, and they all understood that this trip was sinister, and they couldn't help but look at Xu Ning with concern.
"What do you think of the teacher?"
Gu Haotian wanted to know what Xu Ning was thinking, so he could act against it.
"I've been thinking about it for a long time, if I do things in the army, no matter where I go, as long as my wife and daughter show up, they will be known by Captain Gao, and it will be a disaster at that time, and I don't want them to pass through the dangerous place of Bazhou. After thinking about it again and again, she had to ask the officials to take her mother and daughter to Liangshan to entrust Tang Long's cousin, so that they could rest at ease for the rest of their lives. ”
"What about you?" Gu Haotian asked.
"I also have nowhere to go, so I have to go to Bazhou first and then reason."
"Why don't you understand, what hope is there for this filthy court, sister-in-law and daughter have gone to Liangshan, you still go to Na Bird Bazhou to do something, hurry up and go to Liangshan to live a leisurely life, that is, to spend some days with the sprinkled family, I can't say that I have to go with the petty officials."
Lu Zhishen saw that Xu Ning was going to Bazhou, so he shouted at that time.
"Little official, I'm a person who Gao Taiwei holds a grudge, if I go to Liangshan......"
It turned out that Xu Ning was worried that he would bring trouble to Liangshan Manor, so he didn't dare to speak.
"The teacher is too worried, and now there are not a few people in the manor who are carrying murder cases, but all loyal and righteous people, the manor will not refuse anyone, you are here, but who are you afraid of." Gu Haotian said proudly.
"In the next family for a few days, I have received great favors from small officials, and now I have not given up, and I really can't repay it, please accept the next worship."
After saying that, Xu Ning threw himself and bowed, but in fact, he also had the meaning of recognizing the Lord in his heart.
Gu Haotian hurriedly helped him up, and then several people discussed, and then asked Xu Ning to go north from the capital the morning after tomorrow, cross the Yellow River ferry to Fengqiu, and then divert to the east, Gu Haotian sent someone to send his wife and daughter to Dongming to meet him, and then go to Liangshan together.
A few people deliberated again, and there was nothing wrong with it, so they went their separate ways.
Unexpectedly, it was another day, and it was another evening, and a carriage came out of Gao Taiwei's mansion and went straight into the Jurchens' pavilion, and soon after, two fast horses came out of the post house and went straight out of the north of the city.
Shi Qian has been leading people to guard the Jurchen's post house for the past two days, he watched Lu Qian enter, and then the Jurchens quickly rode out of the city, thinking that there must be a reason, but he couldn't find out the details for a while, so he had to let his subordinates send the news back first, and then stay to investigate.
Soon the two-day deadline came, Xu Ning dismissed his family, sold his family property, took only an old servant, took a carriage, and slowly walked to the north gate. Going out from Anyuanmen, it was the beginning of Chenshi, looking back but finding that in addition to the cold city wall, there was no one to send off his colleagues for more than ten years, he glanced at it indifferently, and then turned around and added a whip, and the carriage went north, and there was no attachment.
Fengqiu is a large city in the north of Tokyo City, and it is also a relatively prosperous place. In the evening, Xu Ning's master and servant, who had been on the road for a day, entered the county seat, and at this time, two carriages from the north gate of Tokyo City drove out in a hurry.
It is said that yesterday evening, Gu Haotian and others received a message from Shi Qian, saying that Lu Qian had entered the Jurchens' post house, and then the Jurchens immediately went out of the city. After a few people discussed, although they felt a little strange, they didn't care much, because even if the two Jurchens had any plans, they couldn't set off any big waves. It wasn't until noon the next day that Shi Qian brought back another news that the Jurchens had another den outside the city, hiding the answering personnel, that everyone had a premonition that something was wrong.
It turned out that on the morning of the second day, Shi Qian saw the two horsemen who had left the city last night returning to the post house, and then drove a carriage out of the city, so he was strange, so he hired a carriage to follow him, and then found a Jurchen den outside the city.
Shi Qian pretended to be an idler and took a closer look, and found that the carriage was unloading some daily necessities such as meat, vegetables and vegetables, and there were more than ten Jurchens dressed as Han people in the courtyard. He noted down the location and hurried back to the Shanshui Inn.
"If the Jurchens still have manpower outside the city, then the Xu Ning brothers will be in danger, maybe when the Xu Ning brothers left the city in the morning, they would have followed." Xu Guanzhong exclaimed in surprise after hearing the information.
Xiao Rang then analyzed: "Last night, Lu Qian's house must have reported the news to the Jurchens and killed people with a knife. ”
"It's too late, whether it's true or not, send people to rush there first, I hope it's still too late, Bian Xiang, you and Chen Yun will take more than ten people to set off immediately, and rush to Fengqiu overnight. We had made an appointment with him to turn east after we reached the mound, and you waited outside the east gate before dawn. ”
Gu Haotian thought that Xu Ning had been out for more than half a day, and if he didn't chase after him, he was afraid that it would be too late, so he asked Bian Xiang to lead the team to chase after him.
"Little official, I'm leaving the inn......"
"Don't worry, how many people are here, the Jurchen doesn't dare to come in person."
Gu Haotian knew that Bian Xiang was worried about his safety, but if the Jurchens did not borrow the power of the imperial court, they would be quite confident in protecting themselves.
Let's say that Xu Ning had a good night's sleep, and the next morning he and the old servant set up a carriage and walked out of the east gate slowly, but he didn't notice that on the official road where there was not a lot of people, he followed the two inconspicuous carriages unhurriedly.
After about an hour, Xu Ning's carriage came to a wilderness, and there were not many people in front and behind. At this moment he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when he looked over, he saw that the two carriages were speeding up, and he immediately had a premonition that something was wrong, and immediately took out his hook and sickle from the cart, jumped out of the carriage, and ordered the old servant to hurry away.
Let's say that when the two carriages behind saw Xu Ning jump out of the car, one of them immediately slowed down, but the other accelerated to chase after it. And Xu Ning already knew at this time that the two cars were coming at him, how could he let the car pass, only to see his spear slanted his wrist shake, and the hook and sickle gun in his hand was in hand, and in an instant a horse's hoof was broken, and the horse fell sideways in an instant with a sad roar, and the carriage suddenly rolled over in the middle of the road, and several men on the carriage were caught off guard, and immediately fell down several times. Xu Ning was willing to let go of such a good opportunity, and the spear came out in a row, and he was injured several times in just a while.
"Han'er you dare?"
At this moment, I only heard an angry shout, and a man in his thirties came from the carriage behind him with a long knife.
Xu Ning saw that there was no more advantage to take advantage of, so he had to raise his gun to meet him.
only heard a piercing sound of "dang", and the two weapons collided together, and the two of them actually took two steps back. Xu Ning thought that his martial arts were not bad, but he didn't expect that the other party was not weak, and seeing that there were a lot of people on the other side, he couldn't help but be secretly worried about his situation, so he cheered up his spirit.
The man on the other side was obviously surprised, only to see him muttering a few words to his subordinates in barbarian language, and immediately went to a few people to settle the wounded, clean up the carriage on the road, and slashed at Xu Ning with his own knife.
Xu Ning already knew that the other party was a Jurchen at this time, and knew that he couldn't be good today, so he had the heart to stop it, but he was forced to part by the big man in front of him, so he had to take care of the current situation. Fortunately, a total of eight or nine people came from the other side, and they were stabbed by Xu Ning three or four on the spot, went to two or three to chase the carriage in front, and the rest went to both ends of the road to guard the road, and did not form a siege on Xu Ning.
In this way, the two fought for nearly a lily, Xu Ning was anxious, and the other was indeed strong, and under its powerful offensive, it was gradually difficult.
After about half a pillar of incense, the carriage that the other party was chasing turned around with a carriage, and Xu Ning thought of the old servant and the treasure armor, and suddenly became angry. I saw that he used all his strength, and the gun was like a snake to fight for his life.
The Jurchen man saw that Xu Ning was at the end of his crossbow, and when he saw him laugh a few times, he ordered his men to join the siege, wanting to settle the battle as soon as possible.
Just when Xu Ning was in danger and was in danger, he heard the sound of horses' hooves on the way. The Jurchen man gave two commands in barbarian language, and three men stopped the way, but after a long time, there were a few screams, and then two tall men galloped towards him.
"It's Brother Xu Ning ahead?"
"It's Xu Ning down there!"
Xu Ning, who was desperately fighting in the siege, suddenly heard a familiar voice, breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said that there was no danger today, and immediately rose up and rushed towards the Jurchen man.
