Text Chapter 24 Accidents
What the?
Hearing this, Chao Gai hurriedly stood up, looked at Tang Long, who was full of anxiety, and asked, "Is the news reliable?" When did it happen? ”
"It seems to be yesterday", Tang Long wiped a handful of sweat beads on his head, hurriedly took a sip of tea, and said a little breathlessly: "The news should be fine, I inquired about several places, and someone even saw the guards in Gao Ya escorting Lin Niangzi out of the city yesterday morning."
"It's broken", Ruan Xiaoqi was also communicative at this time, and couldn't help smashing the table with his hand: "I just missed it."
"Brother, what should I do now?" , Saying that, Ruan Xiaoqi and Tang Long both looked at Chao Gai.
"Don't worry," Chao Gai paused, then smiled and said, "It's good news." First, we can be sure that Mrs. Lin is safe for the time being. The two, if they were in the city of Tokyo, Gao Yanei's eyeliner would definitely be all over the Lin Mansion, staring at Lin Niangzi all the time; Even if we rescue Lin Niangzi, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get out of the city. Now that I'm out of the city of Tokyo, it's convenient for us to do things."
"What do you mean, brother?"
"Chase!" , Chao Gai said in a deep voice: "As long as we catch up, inquire about the whereabouts of Lin Niangzi, and secretly rescue her", speaking of this, Chao Gai immediately looked at Tang Long: "It's just Tang Long's brother ......"
"Hey", before Tang Long could speak, Ruan Xiaoqi suddenly looked at Tang Long and said: "Brother Tang Long, according to my Xiaoqi's words, you and I are like-minded, you and I will go to Liangshan with me, I will wait for my brothers to eat wine in a big bowl, eat meat in a big piece, have a good life, and do some good things for the people, it is not a hundred times better than here."
Hearing this, Tang Long suddenly felt happy: "Tang Long has already had this intention, but I don't know what Brother Tianwang thinks?" ”
"With the Tanglong brothers in the gang, I can't ask for it, and there is a reason to refuse it?"
Seeing this, Chao Gai laughed and said. didn't want to be at this time, Ruan Xiaoqi said what was in his heart first.
"Thank you Brother Tianwang", Tang Long heard this, and hurriedly thanked him: "Tang Long has seen Brother Tianwang".
"Brother Tang Long went up the mountain, I have another hero in Liangshan", Ruan Xiaoqi smiled happily, and suddenly couldn't sit still: "Brother, now without further ado, I'll wait for the three of you to leave?" ”
At the moment, they are already a day behind, and if they don't catch up soon, there is no guarantee that nothing will happen.
"Wait", before Chao Gai could speak, Tang Long looked at Chao Gai with a smile on his face, paused, and then hugged his fists and said again to Chao Gai and Ruan Xiaoqi:
"Now that the news of Lin Niangzi has been decided, it is better for me to wait for the soldiers to divide into two ways. Brother Tianwang and Xiao Qi went first. Since Tang Long wants to go up the mountain, he simply packs up his belongings, after all, they are handed down by their ancestors, and they can't be thrown away, and the cottage can be used in the future. ”。
"Brother Xian's words are reasonable", hearing this, Chao Gai suddenly laughed and said: "Now I will wait for the two of them to chase after me first, and the camera will act." Brother Xian dealt with the things here, and rushed directly to Liangshan, I will write a letter here, and then Brother Xian handed it over to Zhu Gui of the hotel under the mountain, and asked him to transfer it to Wu Yong. It's just that the virtuous brother must be cautious and don't show his feet."
Chao Gai knew the importance of Tang Long, and with this person, Liangshan's ordnance could start. This is a measure of strategic importance and should not be taken lightly.
"Little brother remember", Tang Long heard this, and then nodded: "Since this is the case, then Tang Long will say goodbye to his brother for the time being, and I will meet again in the cottage!" ”
Seeing Tang Long leaving, Chao Gai and Ruan Xiaoqi did not dare to delay, and then hurriedly went out and began to head towards the outside of Tokyo. Chao Gai thought in his heart: From Tokyo to Cangzhou, the people who came to the high government must be escorting Lin Niangzi on the main road. As long as the two of them speed up, they should be able to catch up.
However, at this time, Chao Gai was also secretly surprised in his heart: Gao Yanei took such great pains to persecute Lin Chong, didn't he just go to Lin Niangzi? But why did he send someone to escort Lin Niangzi to Cangzhou? Could it be that he already knew that Lin Chong was not dead, and while sending someone to investigate, he ordered Lin Chong to throw a rat bogey?
For about half a day, the two of them should be a lot away from the capital, but the scorching sun was in the sky, and the two were already hungry and thirsty. In order to hurry up, they bought two mules at a high price on the outskirts of Tokyo, but at this time, the mules were also physically weak, and their speed slowed down significantly.
"Xiao Qi, there seems to be a wine shop in front of you. Let's go and rest before we go." Chao Gai and the two turned an intersection, and saw from afar that there seemed to be a dilapidated house in front of them, with a rag wine flag swaying in the wind, and turned his head to Ruan Xiaoqi and said.
Hearing this, Ruan Xiaoqi immediately agreed. He already felt parched and had already finished drinking the wine he had brought. At this time, not to mention the two of them, even the mules under them were also panting heavily, thinking that they were tired enough. If you rush so desperately, not to mention whether people can stand it, even these two animals will definitely not be able to stand it.
When the two of them got closer, they saw that there were only a few people in the dilapidated liquor store in front of them, which was far from the bustle of Tokyo City. At this time, seeing that some guests were coming, a man had already come to take the reins from Chao Gai and Ruan Xiaoqi, tied the two mules to the pillars of the stable, and led Chao Gai and the two into the wine shop.
"What are you two going to do? It's hot and unbearable, why don't you give the two of you some apricot blossom wine with the characteristics of the small shop to relieve the heat, and then some cooked beef to drink, how about padding the belly? ”
The shopkeeper's face was full of enthusiasm, beckoning Chao Gai and Ruan Xiaoqi to sit down, wiping the table with the cloth towel in his hand, and smiling and selling.
"Okay", Chao Gai couldn't help but be happy, the business ability of the Song Dynasty guys was not weak: "It's up to you, if you have anything to relieve the heat and hunger, get some, and the two mules will also add some good forage, and the silver money must be indispensable to you."
"Gotcha", the guy sang, "Don't worry".
After a while, the guy held a jar of wine on the table, personally poured a bowl for Chao Gai and Ruan Xiaoqi, and put two plates of cooked beef on the table: "The two guest officers use it slowly, if you need anything, you just greet the small one."
"Little Er", Chao Gai saw that there was the familiar standard meal in front of him, and then whispered to the guy who was just leaving: "Ask you something, is there a good horse to buy around here?" ”
Shicai saw that the mule was panting, and Chao Gai also shook his head, in the end, it was not as good as a horse. Now the two of them have to travel all the way, and if they have a good horse, they can go much faster.
Hearing this, the guy was stunned, his eyes flashed, and then he smiled at Chao Gai and said: "Why do guest officers play villains, in this world, where can you sell horses?" Besides, I'm ...... here."
Before the fellow could finish speaking, he felt something more in his hand, and his eyes swept away, but it was a small piece of broken silver. When I looked up, I saw Chao Gai and Ruan Xiaoqi in front of me looking at me with a smile.
"Ahem", the shopkeeper chuckled a little embarrassedly, looked around and saw no one else, then leaned forward and said softly:
"But the villain heard that from this intersection to the west two or three miles, occasionally someone there to put horses. It's just that the specific time is not clear to the villain. The two guest officers, the little one didn't say anything."
"In the end, there is no treachery and no business", Ruan Xiaoqi glanced at the back of the guy leaving, and couldn't help but say with disdain.
However, at this time, Chao Gai and Ruan Xiaoqi didn't know, and after the guy retreated, he said to himself: Why are you inquiring about buying horses for the past two days? No, next time I'll have to ask for more money for that rhubarb hair.
