Chapter 81: Before the Storm
"How many batches is this?"
Lu Kang sat in the chief, glanced at his grandson Lu Xun, and asked.
At this time, it was already late at night, the Lu Mansion was still brightly lit, and the soldiers of the Taishou Mansion who were acting outside were still blocking the water around here, and the people who went back and forth to report could only enter through an inconspicuous small door in the backyard.
"Counting the first batch of Uncle Gongji, there have been five batches now."
A group of 100 people, then according to Lu Xun's words, more than 500 people were dispatched. No matter what the Lu family says, it is also a Lujiang clan, and it is not difficult to take out five hundred private soldiers, not to mention that in this era, the family will always be an expert in hiding people.
"There's something I still want to report to Weng Weng." Lu Xun looked as if he had suddenly thought of something.
"What's the matter?"
"When the latest group of people went out, they met some people in the area of Longwankou outside the city."
Lu Kang's squinted eyes slowly opened, and his white eyebrows were like two silver moons.
"My grandson has checked carefully, they are from the He family, and they have the tokens of He County, so they can't be wrong."
"He Bozhen?" Lu Kang's mind was running rapidly, "How did Bo Yan deal with it?" ”
Lu Xun saluted respectfully, and said: "Longwankou is the only way to go to Zhou Youping Water Village, since He Xianjun sent someone to go, it means to make his position clear." Now the situation, as long as Gao Taishou is rescued, the Lujiang family will be bloody, and the Lu family has an ally who can talk at this time, so Sun Er is good at advocating for the people of the He family to go together! ”
He Qi sent someone, which means that the one who instigated Zhou Tai to tie up Gao Yun must be Zhang Cong, Lu Kang already had a measure in his heart, so he glanced at Lu Xun appreciatively, and said: "Bo Yan has handled this matter very well, but there are still some shortcomings." Not only do you want to let He Xianjun's people keep up with the team, but also have to say a few good words for He Xianjun on Gao Taishou's side in the future! ”
In Lu Kang's view, the reshuffle of the Lujiang family is imminent, and it is inevitable that he will dominate if he has only one family, and it will not be good to arouse Yuan Yao's suspicion when the time comes.
So someone must be checked and balanced, and He Fu is a good candidate, this person has a simple personality and no utilitarian heart. Fighting on the surface is a matter on the surface, and secretly the two families still have to maintain a good relationship, so helping the He family now is equivalent to helping themselves.
Lu Xun understood the gist of it, and after looking at the sky, he found that it was not early, so he stepped forward and spoke to Lu Kang.
"It's not early, Weng Weng should go and take a nap, tomorrow is the Yuan Day celebration, Weng Weng also needs to improve the Taishou to preside over the overall situation."
Lu Kang touched Lu Xun's head dotingly, and said with a smile: "Since it's not early, there's no need to sleep." I still have to brew what your Uncle Guo told me, but fortunately, I won't make a mistake tomorrow. ”
"Tell me to go down and prepare incense, Weng Weng needs to bathe and incense."
Watching Lu Xun go to order his subordinates, Lu Kang had already stood up and looked up at the bright moon, as if he was enjoying the last peace before the storm...
Lujiang Zhangfu.
"God help me!" Zhang Cong patted the case a few times, and said: "I didn't expect this Gao Yun Xiao'er to be so confused, and turn his face with Old Man Lu like this, then he is isolated in this Lujiang River!" ”
The same is brightly lit, there are two people in the courtyard of Zhang's mansion, one is the henchman of Zhang Cong before, and the other is a young military general under Zhang Cong.
Zhang Cong glanced at his henchman again and said, "How is it?" Zhou Youping has arranged it there, right? ”
"Don't worry, that Gao Yun has already reported his identity, and I believe that Zhou Youping will never let him get out of the water village alive!"
"Good!"
Zhang Cong applauded loudly, looking a little high-spirited, "The things on the scene have to continue to be done, some soldiers and horses of the Taishou Mansion are still searching in the city, you immediately send someone to cooperate with them, no matter what they ask, you just need to agree!" ”
As soon as the henchmen heard this, they immediately received the order.
At this time, there were only two people left in the courtyard, Zhang Cong looked at his proud general, although he was not very old, but this person's bravery had always been appreciated by him.
"Tomorrow, I will go to the Taishou Mansion for a banquet, and take the opportunity to give Gao Yun a charge of not knowing how to be polite. As long as I, Zhang, do this Lujiang Taishou, then the position of Lujiang Captain must be yours! ”
After getting such a big promise, Captain Xu didn't look happy, his young face was questioning, as if he wanted to say something, but he still hadn't spoken.
Zhang Cong saw the appearance of his subordinates, and asked, "Does Captain Xu have something to say?" ”
When Captain Xu heard this, he finally made up his mind, and said, "My lord, the last general feels that there is something strange about this matter!" The Lu family is the son of the prince who personally assisted Gao Yun, when this matter is critical, how can the two families fight in the nest? According to the humble opinion of his subordinates, this matter is likely to be a good show staged by the two families of Gaolu, just to wait for the adults to throw themselves into the net! ”
Self-casting has always been a derogatory term, no one wants to hear it, and the same is true for Zhang Cong, there was already displeasure on his face, so he said: "Captain Xu is too worried, Gao Yun is just a yellow-mouthed child, how can there be many measurements?" At this time, Gao Yun is missing, and the people in his house must be jumping over the wall in a hurry..."
"Your Excellency!" Xu Xiaowei interrupted Zhang Cong's words, and said: "Don't be confused by appearances, you must know that if you make a wrong move, you will lose all the games, and please think twice!" ”
Captain Xu is a good military general and a resourceful person, but unfortunately he is young and vigorous, and he doesn't know how to be tactful. It just so happens that Zhang Cong is conceited and has always regarded himself as superior to others, where can his subordinates question him?
"Shut up! The old man still needs you to question? ”
Zhang Cong shouted angrily, his face was as black as a black iron...
"What's the matter, Lao Zhou, are you going to let Ben Taishou go?" Gao Yun yawned and looked at Zhou Tai, who had never said a word, and his tone seemed a little ridiculous.
It was still cold in the water village, but fortunately, Zhou Tai came to this house half an hour ago, and he brought two braziers at random.
"Lord Taishou is very good at laughing, at this time I already know the identity of Taishou, how can I let you leave safely?" Zhou Tai finally spoke, his face was a little cold, and there seemed to be a string of black lines on his forehead after listening to Gao Yun's words.
Zhou Tai's heart had already greeted Zhang Cong's ancestor for the eighteenth generation, and after knowing that Gao Yun was Taishou, he simply couldn't sleep all night. The opinions of his subordinates are also different, some propose to take the blame, and some advocate killing Gao Yun directly, so the purpose of his Zhou Tai's visit this time is to find out Gao Yun's attitude.
"Hahaha." Gao Yun laughed, "Zhou Youping, you are already about to die, but you don't know it!" ”
Ignoring the trace of anger on Zhou Tai's face, Gao Yun continued: "No matter who asked you to tie me up, but it definitely didn't tell you my identity before, and now I find it out myself, but you are in a dilemma. If you don't kill me without doing anything, do you think this matter is over? The mastermind behind the scenes will definitely set foot on your water village in the name of avenging me! No matter how strong the Jiujiang thieves are, it is difficult to compete with the defenders of the entire Lujiang County, right? ”
Zhou Tai stared at him, his expression was a little vicious, and he said coldly: "I admit that you are right, but I, Zhou Tai, am not easy to bully, you are not afraid of angering me, and you will be killed with a knife." The big deal is the end of the world! ”
"I'm afraid you don't even have confidence in yourself when you speak, right?"
Gao Yun smiled faintly, raised his head, and looked at this young man, dressed in simple leather armor, eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a little dark skin, and said: "What a person is most afraid of is that he has too many scruples, and if he has too many scruples, he will not have confidence in acting too much, isn't this what you are like now?" ”
"Let's go back and think about it!" Zhou Tai's momentum weakened a lot, and Gao Yun glanced at him meaningfully, "Be careful around you, I'm afraid it has already been installed by someone." And you have to understand, now the only one who can save you is me Gao Yun! ”
Zhou Tai, the word Youping, Jiujiang Xia Cai people, because of offended officials, fled in the early years, excellent water nature, superior force, and later united with fellow townsman Jiang Qin to establish the Jiujiang thief group, dominating the Yangtze River!
