Chapter 10: High Encounters Danger (4)
The carriage slowed down, then came to an abrupt stop. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThere was no sound outside at all, and Gao Cheng felt a strange uneasiness in his heart.
He didn't bother to ask, and no one came back and forth to ask him what had happened. Leaned over and lifted the curtain. However, the scene outside made him feel even more weird.
Gao Cheng suddenly regretted it a little in his heart.
There were only one or two guards around him, and then a few servants who accompanied the car. And the reason why the carriage stopped was because in the night, his car was being stopped by the black-clad men of the brigade.
The more than 20 black-clothed people were all masked, as if they were particularly afraid of being peeped at. All of them looked strong and sturdy, not like ordinary house slaves. Although he didn't show up in front of him, he already made people feel that everyone was fierce. Without holding a sharp blade, there is a murderous aura.
In Yecheng, there are still people who dare to stop the general's car? Gao Cheng's guards and servants had never encountered this before, and they were really a little overwhelmed.
Gao Cheng suddenly had seven or eight thoughts in his heart. Who is the owner of these men in black? What is their intention in walking by the night? It doesn't look like he came to stop him, it seems that he met by accident, and the other party is at a loss, probably because he doesn't understand his identity.
But what do these men in black want to do? If it is an ordinary robber who robs a house and is broken by someone, it is too late to escape at this time, how can he be so calm and calm? And apparently these men in black are murderous. Even if you don't know who he is, you dare to kill a high-ranking official easily, what is the origin of these people?
"Who are you waiting for?" Gao Cheng didn't get out of the car, stared at the black-clothed people and asked calmly.
I didn't want Gao Cheng's voice to fall, and a servant standing in front of the car suddenly shouted at this time, "Wait for ****, crash into the general's car, want to live?" ”
The servant also thought that if the curfew was at night, these men in black would do something wrong, and if they heard the name of the general, they would be frightened away. He was used to the situation, and he didn't want to make trouble for Gao Cheng this time.
Gao Cheng saw that the man in black was still unmoved when he heard the words "general", so he felt strange in his heart, and he was on guard, and glanced back at the sword placed in the car, only hating that Liu Taozhi was not by his side at this time. Looking outside, I couldn't fully know where this was in the dark, and I saw a mansion not far away, the lintel was magnificent, but it was very eye-catching. I thought I could ask the servants to knock on the door and call for someone. No matter which official it is, if the general is assassinated in front of his door, he will not escape the involvement.
Sure enough, the two men in black at the head exchanged ears, and suddenly saw that the two people had drawn their knives. As if the order had been given, the rest of the dozen or so also drew their swords.
"What general? Just poke the neck. The man in black was very disdainful of Gao Cheng in his tone.
That's weird.
Seeing that the matter had come to this, Gao Cheng simply jumped off the car, stepped forward with his sword, and said angrily, "Who are you a slave who dares to be so rude?" ”
Several of the guards fell behind. At this time, seeing that the general had stepped forward, he hurriedly caught up and guarded on both sides of Gao Cheng. Several servants followed.
This time, the man in black did not answer Gao Cheng's question, and in an instant, more than 20 people all swarmed up, all of them raised their blades and rushed towards Gao Cheng.
Gao Cheng drew his sword and raised his sword to resist. A few guards seemed to understand at this time that these black-clothed people were going to kill the head of the family, and they met each other desperately.
However, the few servants who followed Gao Cheng were originally only for running and driving, and they could not be of great use at this time. After a while, they were either killed or seriously injured. There were only a few guards left around Gao Cheng.
Gao Cheng's house slaves are certainly relying on the power of the head of the house on weekdays, but what about the guards? Because no one has ever dared to really behave rudely to the general, the guards are usually decorations. When I met these black-clothed people today, not only were there many of them, but all of them were vicious outlaws. There are few of Gao Cheng's guards who don't say anything, and they don't have the swordsman's superb knife skills and fierce heart, where can they stop him.
Gao Cheng swung his sword to resist, only suffering from the wide robe and large sleeves he was wearing, which was not as convenient and dexterous as the hakama of the man in black. At the beginning, Gao Cheng himself was very brave. With his martial arts, it is of course very easy to cut down several people. But the men in black seem to have made a decision in their hearts, they must take his life, and they will take his life at any cost, so they all fight with their lives.
Gao Cheng's servants and guards were almost dead at this time, and a few seriously injured people were still too busy to take care of themselves, where did they have the energy to care about him? No matter how brave Gao Cheng is, he can't have many enemies, and all of them don't want to die.
"You wait for the minions, do you really want to kill me?" Gao Cheng was already out of breath and sweating all over. It's just that at this moment of life and death, he still can't believe that someone really dares to assassinate him in Yecheng? He himself is the governor of Gyeonggi, and there are such things in the capital, outside the temples? Jean made him unbelievable. But his question seemed ridiculous at this time.
Naturally, the man in black would not answer his question. There are more than 20 black-clothed people, and there are almost no casualties, which shows the superb martial arts of these dead soldiers, who is the head of their family? When Gao Cheng was shocked, he began to think about this question seriously in his heart.
He didn't believe he was going to die here today. But such a big battle did not attract a single person. Ordinary people don't live in the near side, or they don't dare to come out for fear of causing trouble when they hear a sound. But the mansion not far away really didn't hear any movement outside?
At this time, Gao Cheng had no other way, the people around him were useless, and there was no one to support him if he wanted to send someone to report the news. I had to fight and go to the mansion by myself, and it seemed that I could only knock on the door and call people.
However, the leader of the black-clothed men was extremely smart, and he saw through Gao Cheng's intentions at a glance, and shouted angrily, "Shaft, if you die, you will die, why worry about the Gao Thorn Shi family? ”
The angry words blurted out by the man in black made Gao Cheng hear it clearly, and questions immediately appeared in his heart. History of high thorns? Which high spines history? He couldn't remember who this high-thorn history was for a while. Who are these men in black, and how do they know so clearly? He didn't know who it was. The man in black seemed to be very familiar with Yecheng. Moreover, listening to his tone, Gao Cheng always felt that the head of the man in black must have an extraordinary relationship with this high thorn history.
"Who is Ernai? Do you even know that the High Thorn Mansion is here? Gao Cheng shouted.
At this time, the man in black realized that he had lost his mouth, and he hated it in his heart, and he didn't know if Gao Cheng had understood who this "Gao Thorn History" was, and he felt that he couldn't let Gao Cheng stay alive. At this time, he shouted behind him, "Lord Lang is raising Er, and so on, it will be used for today, this kid should have died a long time ago, and he should not be removed by Lord Lang?!" ”
Gao Cheng didn't expect that his question completely angered the man in black. The man in black stepped forward, and he felt that only this high thorn could save him at this time. Naturally, I have to knock on the door and call people.
The man in black didn't expect Gao Cheng to be so brave, and he couldn't help it for a while with one enemy and twenty. Seeing that Gao Cheng had arrived at the gate of Nafu. The door of the mansion was closed, and at this time, Gao Cheng was sure that he must have heard a voice inside, but why didn't he open the door and come out to help? This couldn't help but make him angry at this "high thorn history". secretly thought that if he had a chance to escape, he would definitely treat this "high thorn history" in the future.
The man in black saw that Gao Cheng was about to go up the stone steps, and the leader threw the knife in his hand in a hurry. The latter followed suit, and suddenly the knife flew towards Gao Cheng. Gao Cheng used his sword to block left and right, and he also dodged left and right, but in the end, he was careless, and a knife stabbed him in the left arm.
Although it did not hurt the vital point, only the flesh and skin, the wound was pierced deeply, and the blood flowed immediately. Gao Cheng clenched his teeth in pain, and at the same time clenched the sword in his right hand. He turned back and knocked, and it was opened.
Those black-clothed men watched in amazement as the old servants who came out of the mansion door supported Gao Cheng, who was covered in blood.
Gao Cheng unexpectedly found that those men in black stopped coming forward for some reason.
Gao Cheng endured the pain and said to the old servant, "Quickly call the master of the Er family to come out......"
"Lord Lang is not here." The old servant replied and helped Gao Cheng, but looked at the black-clothed people under the stairs suspiciously, as if he had encountered something incomprehensible. After a while, he lost his voice and said, "Er...... Wait ...... How can you ......" His face was no less surprised than Gao Cheng.
Those black-clothed people panicked instantly, and the leader said angrily, "We bandits don't dare to worry about the family of Gao Stabbing Shi." So saying, they swarmed away.
Gao Cheng didn't expect that an old servant in this mansion was more effective than his guards and servants, and when he saw this old servant, all the dead soldiers fled one after another.
"Who is the lord of Erfulilang?" Gao Cheng pushed the old servant away, held his injured arm, and walked in in a big way while asking.
"A history of high thorns." The old servant followed him inside. Although he didn't know Gao Cheng, after all, he was a slave of the eunuch's family, and he knew that he must be an important person by looking at Gao Cheng's appearance, so he couldn't decide whether to stop it, but in the end he didn't dare to stop it.
Hearing the words "History of High Thorns", Gao Cheng stopped and turned to look at the old servant. Those men in black are right, it's weird. Thinking about the old servant's expression and words just now, the slightly panicked state of the man in black and the scene of hurriedly dispersed, Gao Cheng suddenly stared at the old servant and asked, "Which high thorn history?" Who were those people just now? ”
The old servant hesitated. He is old, but he is not confused. Just as he was not knowing how to answer, he suddenly saw someone from inside come out, and asked aloud what had happened, and who had come.
Gao Cheng saw a young woman, followed by two slaves and maids, who had already walked in front of him. The woman seemed to be a family member in this house, asking in a voice, assigning everywhere, and looking arrogant. Although it was dark in the middle of the night, when the woman walked in front of Gao Cheng, because the slave was carrying a lantern, Gao Cheng could see the woman's face clearly at once.
The young woman also saw Gao Cheng holding her left arm at once, and the blood on her arm was pouring out, and she took a step back in shock.
She took a closer look at Gao Cheng's face, and the two of them looked at each other, and they were all stunned.
Gao Cheng first felt that this young woman was very familiar, and then after careful identification, he recognized her as Li Changyi's maidservant Kuye. He instantly thought that the "Gao Thorn History" of the Lang Lord in this mansion was actually Gao Zhongmi, the Thorn History of Northern Yuzhou, who was secretly demoted by his name. Gao Cheng immediately became vigilant in his heart, was it really a coincidence that these black-clothed people met him in front of Gao Shen's Mansion today?
Kuye recognized Gao Cheng at a glance. Her face was already full of horror, and she blurted out, "General...... Is the general injured? She stared at Gao Cheng's arm. Does it matter if it hurts? ”
Gao Cheng could tell that Kuye was not surprised to see him break in suddenly, she was frightened, and her panic came from his injury. It seemed that she was very concerned about his injury. But she obviously didn't care about the injured person, she just cared about whether his injuries were serious. It feels so weird.
"Where's your housewife?" Since Gao Cheng knew that this was Gao Shen's mansion, he naturally knew that Gao Shen would not be in the mansion. He didn't pay attention to whether Li Changyi had not been with Gao Shen all along, or whether he was temporarily living in the mansion. After he finished asking, he turned back and ordered, "Quickly go and pass the order of the imperial doctor." "It's completely the slaves of Gaofu who regard them as their own domestic slaves.
"The general's uncle and grandmother are in the inner house, and it is late at night at this time, so it is inconvenient to see each other." Bitterleaf interrupted him. Kuye was very dissatisfied with Gao Cheng's attitude of not treating himself as an outsider, as if he was the lord of this mansion. She was deliberately reminding Gao Cheng that Gao Shen, the lord of the mansion, was the same clan as his uncle's ancestors. The mistress in this house is his elder, how can he see it as he wants? If you really want to see it, you should pay your respects. There was a hint of resentment hidden in Kuye's tone, but he didn't dare to be too explicit.
"Is the general going to invite the Imperial Physician Order here for treatment?" The old servant also asked Gao Cheng seriously.
"Naturally, it's here." Gao Cheng turned to look at him, as if he couldn't understand why he asked such a question.
The old servant took the order and went away.
Gao Cheng didn't look at the bitter leaf again, and as he walked inside, he commanded, "Go to the General's Mansion and summon my cangtou slave Liu Taozhi." You are not allowed to say a word to the princess during this situation. ”
The others didn't dare to say much, and Kuye had to follow Gao Cheng inside.
The slave maid in front of her who was leading the way didn't know what Gao Cheng meant, and she didn't know where to place Gao Cheng, so she didn't dare to stop and ask. Because he was afraid of the general, he heard him ask his mother just now, and now that Lord Lang was not in the mansion, he involuntarily led Gao Cheng to the inner house.
When I walked outside the courtyard where Li Changyi lived, the gate was closed. Fortunately, Gao Cheng finally didn't kick in the door. Kuye only seized the opportunity at this time, and walked up to stop Gao Cheng to take the lead, "General, please wait, the slave and maid will go in and return." After speaking, without waiting for Gao Cheng to speak, he went up and pushed the door in.
Kuba turned around and closed the courtyard door again. It barely hit Gao Cheng's cheek. Gao Cheng's arm hurt unbearably at this time, it was windy and cold outside, and he was about to enter regardless of it, when he heard a voice coming from inside. I couldn't hear what was being said, but it was clear that there were questions and answers.
Then the courtyard door opened.
Gao Cheng didn't expect Li Changyi to come out so quickly, as if he was waiting for him. Seven or eight slaves and maids hugged each other, and several lamps shone as bright as day.
Gao Cheng's eyes lit up suddenly, and he almost forgot the pain on his arm. (To be continued.) )
