Chapter 64: A Thousand Miles of Urgency
And they drank this wine until the sun was setting in the west. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Just after dawn the next day, Haifu was woken up by a slamming door.
"Master Sun." Haifu stood at the door of the inner courtyard and shouted, "Gongzi He is here, and he is anxious to see you. ”
"Got it, you tell him to wait, I'll go out right away." Sun Tianhao asked Xu Lang while getting dressed, "What is he doing so early, what is the urgency?" ”
"I don't know, let's go out and have a look."
The two of them walked out of the house, and Zhang Hai and Wei Yang also got up. Four people came to the living room in front, and He Wenhuan was anxiously turning in circles in the living room.
"Master He, what's the urgency, come to the cold house early in the morning." Sun Tianhao stepped forward to say hello.
He Wenhuan bowed his hand and gave a salute: "I found the trace of He Laoliu." ”
"yes, where?" Hearing He Wenhuan say this, everyone asked eagerly.
"Don't worry, don't worry." Xu Lang said, "Let He Gongzi speak slowly." ”
A thug gambled at the casino for one night, lost all his money, and was kicked out of the casino before dawn. The man had nowhere to go, so he wandered around the streets. In the early morning, there was no one on the road, but this gangster suddenly found a person hurrying from the direction of the city gate, and he was holding two hands. It's late spring and March, and although it's still a little cool in the morning, it's not enough to walk with your hands, not to mention that it's not yet time to open the city gate. The news that He Wenhuan offered a reward of 20 taels of silver to find a person without a right hand had already spread on the road, so the gangster took it to heart and found an opportunity to go up and deliberately bump it, but after a collision, he found that this person was really missing his right hand. The bastard had a lot of eyes, and secretly followed the man to his dwelling, hiding in a corner and staring. It wasn't until the sky was slightly bright, and there was a stall selling breakfast at the corner of the street, and the gangster promised the stall owner 2 cents of silver, telling him to stare at the door where the man entered, and then he hurriedly ran to report to He Wenhuan.
"Can you be sure it's He Lao Liu?" Zhang Hai asked.
"Pretty much sure. I'm looking for someone to keep an eye on it, what to do next, I have to come up with an idea, master. He Wenhuan replied.
"That's it." Sun Tianhao thought for a while, "Zhang Hai, you go with He Gongzi, please ask He Gongzi to find a few more people, first determine whether it is He Lao Liu, if it is correct, find an opportunity to get him over." ”
"Kidnapping tickets again?" Xu Lang asked.
"Then what do you say, report to the officer?" Sun Tianhao asked rhetorically.
Xu Lang smiled helplessly. Zhang Hai went back to the house, put on a pistol and followed He Wenhuan out.
Everyone waited from morning to 2 o'clock at night, when a noisy footstep sounded outside the door. Zhang Hai and He Wenhuan walked in with a few people carrying a sack.
"Why did you come back?" Sun Tianhao was very anxious to wait this day.
"This guy hid in the house for a day and didn't go out, and it was dark that we found a chance to touch it." Zhang Hai replied, "There is only He Lao Liu in the house, I didn't see He Lao San, we didn't dare to stay longer, we were in a hurry to come back, and we almost bumped into the night patrol just now." ”
The sack opened, and a blindfolded and gagged person showed his head, it was He Lao Liu. Sun Tianhao stepped forward and ripped off the black cloth, and He Lao Liu was a little blinded by the candlelight in the room, squinting at the people around him.
Sun Tianhao moved He Laoliu's face: "He Laoliu, do you still recognize me?" ”
"Woo, woo." He Lao Liu recognized Sun Tianhao and screamed in fear, but his mouth was stuffed with rags, and he could only make a muffled sound.
Sun Tianhao pulled out the cloth from He Laoliu's mouth again.
"You hurry up and let me go, if you dare not let me go, your Yulin Bay will be finished." Before the others could speak, He Lao Liu first shouted loudly.
"You're a boiled duck, and you're hard to get here." Zhang Haihai went up and gave He Laoliu a big mouth.
"Wait." Xu Lang grabbed Zhang Hai, who was about to fight again, "He Laoliu, what do you mean that our Yulin Bay is all finished, where did your brother He Laosan go?" ”
He Lao Liu suddenly closed his mouth and looked at the people in the room without saying a word.
"Gongzi He, help watch him first." Xu Lang called the other three traversers outside the house.
"There's got to be something in here, and he has to pry his mouth open." Xu Lang said.
"How to pry." Wei Yang asked in a low voice, "Is it appropriate to lynch you?" ”
Sun Tianhao and Zhang Hai glanced at Wei Yang dissatisfiedly at the same time: "What good way do you have?" ”
"I don't, I listen to you." Wei Yang was too frightened to speak.
"Tianhao, you are the director, you can make up your mind." Xu Lang felt that the execution was indeed a bit cruel, but at the same time, he faintly felt that there was a huge danger hidden in He Laoliu's words. weighed the pros and cons and decided to push this matter to Sun Tianhao.
Sun Tianhao thought for a while and said, "Zhang Hai, you can come to trial." ”
"What are you kidding?" Zhang Hai hurriedly waved his hand, "I can fight, I can't do this torture work, I don't have that hobby." ”
"Don't even make any noise." Xu Lang said, "None of us can do this, so ask He Wenhuan to do it." ”
There was a pig-like howl from He Laoliu in the house, Xu Lang stood in the yard and smoked silently, and Wei Yang kept trembling on his two legs. About half an hour, Sun Tianhao and Zhang Hai walked out of the house, and Zhang Hai casually threw something into the latrine.
"What did you throw at?" Xu Lang asked.
"This guy is so hard-mouthed, He Wenhuan chopped off his 2 fingers before asking." Zhang Hai replied.
Xu Lang suddenly felt a wave of nausea.
"Brother Xu, the situation is very bad." Sun Tianhao said, "He Laosan was not in Qiongzhou Mansion City, he went to Yulin Bay. ”
"Yulin Bay?" Xu Lang and Wei Yang asked in unison.
"Yes, Yulin Bay." Sun Tianhao replied, "And they actually colluded with Liu Xiang, this time there may be dozens of boats going to Yulin Bay, and the number of people may be thousands, we are in trouble." ”
The He brothers ran out of the money and ran out of death row and found He Laosan's sworn brother Yunzhong Leopard. As a result, the leopard in the cloud not only attacked Li Shuang and Zhou Chongde and missed, but was also destroyed by Yulin Bay. After the He brothers arrived in the capital of Qiongzhou, they contacted Liu Xiang in a roundabout way. Since this Liu Xiang and Zheng Zhilong turned their faces last year, the two sides have been fighting almost every day. At present, Liu Xiang's ship is fighting less and less, and I heard that there are two iron ships in Yulin Bay that do not use sails and oars, galloping like the wind, and the guns on the ship can shoot more than ten miles, Liu Xiang took it seriously, and asked someone to secretly inquire a few times. After the news was confirmed, Liu Xiang had the idea of attacking Yulin Bay, if these two ships fell into his hands, let alone Zheng Zhilong, the entire Nanyang would probably be at his own disposal.
"How long have they been gone?" Xu Lang felt that his heart was slightly cold.
"It's been a day. I picked up He Laosan last night. It is estimated that there will be three more days to reach Yulin Bay at most. ”
"Three days." Xu Lang muttered silently.
"What then?" Wei Yang's voice was filled with tears, "Why don't we quickly find a boat and go back to report the news." ”
"It's too late." Sun Tianhao replied in frustration.
"Three days, three days. ZHANG Hai. Xu Lang suddenly raised his voice, startling the rest of the people, "Let He Wenhuan find the horse immediately, the more the better, I want to rush back to Yulin Bay." ”
"Horseback riding? Is it in time? Zhang Hai had some doubts about Xu Lang's sudden decision.
"It should be in time." Xu Lang explained, "In the future, the expressway between Haikou and Sanya was 320 kilometers, that is, 640 miles, and I think it should be similar now. In the Ming Dynasty, 600 miles of expedited could run 600 miles a day, and horses were not changed. Even if I slow down, as long as the horse is enough, I should be able to run back in 2 days. ”
"Brother Xu, I'll go back with you." Zhang Hai said.
"No, you all stay here and watch He Lao Liu." Xu Lang vetoed Zhang Hai's kindness, "Besides, which of you can ride a horse." ”
The three of them all looked at each other, and no one who has traveled through modern society can ride a horse.
"The fifth family in my university dormitory is from Inner Mongolia, and I lived in his house for a summer and learned to ride a horse." Xu Lang explained, "Don't argue, this matter can't be delayed, Zhang Hai, you go to He Wenhuan, Tianhao, Wei Yang, help me prepare some food and water, and eat on the way." ”
The sky was bright. He Wenhuan threw all his subordinates out to buy horses, and Lu Xing and Lin Chao also gave some money after hearing about the situation. After an hour's effort, I turned around the capital city of Qiongzhou, and found a total of 10 horses. Because he was worried about Xu Lang's safety, Zhang Hai still asked He Wenhuan to follow Xu Lang back to Yulin Bay this time.
2 people on horseback. Xu Lang arched his hand at the people below: "Thank you for your great help, I should thank you again in the future." Without further ado, you have taken your leave. ”
"Drive." Xu Lang's legs were a little harder, he grabbed the horse's belly, and galloped towards the city gate, followed by He Wenhuan.
