Chapter Ninety-Eight: Righteousness and Courage

Xihe City is small, and the original 2,000 soldiers are already a little crowded. Later, after Gao Yue seized the city, he surrendered to Xinding, there were already more than 4,000 soldiers, and they could not live in the city, so they set up tents and built barracks two miles north of the city. A few days ago, Han Yong sent Peng Jun to lead 2,300 people, and at present, the Longxi army in Xihe has 6,500 people, which is not small, and Gao Yue ordered them to be stationed outside the city.

The daily training and drill of the soldiers is also the detachment into the city in batches, in the city school field activities, and after the end, the city guard and the leader of the team and other officers, the two sides count the roll call, and then go out of the city and enter the camp after it is correct. Gao Yue would sometimes go to the barracks and talk to the soldiers face to face, so as to keep abreast of various situations.

At the moment, the armor was removed, the hood was removed, Gao Yue wore a scarf on his head, a wide linen shirt with a collar of soap along the edge, a brown luan belt tied around his waist, and boots with socks underneath. He was already tall and majestic, and this time he was dressed up, he looked even more refreshed and graceful, strolling through the streets on a sunny winter day, like a chic scholar.

Gao Yue paced slowly, looking around from time to time. On the streets of the city, those pushing carts, carrying burdens, and carrying baskets walked from east to west, and the noise was endless, but it was not obvious that the city had just experienced war, but it showed some peace and harmony.

Among the crowds of people who came and went, there was the bold girl, who did not shy away from looking at Gao Yue when she saw Gao Yue being heroic and dignified, showing a charming smile. It is always pleasant to be noticed by young and beautiful people of the opposite sex. Gao Yue is not rigid, nor is he an iron clay tire, so he nods his head and smiles politely back.

Gao Yue rarely enjoyed this casual leisure time, and he was in a good mood. He was leisurely, but his mind was still thinking about the next military arrangement. Previously, Han Yong was mighty, and in just over a month, he successively captured the four cities of Diren, and he had a momentum like a bamboo. However, after receiving his good news, Gao Yue thought about it and ordered him to postpone his march and rest and stand by.

According to the current point of view, Yang Maosou sits on the two counties of Wudu and Yinping, but he is not an opponent, and the Longxi army is divided into two places, but they are all victorious, even if they are defeated and destroyed in Longnan, I am afraid that it is not an empty word. But Gao Yue still had a faint uneasy intuition.

On the one hand, he did have a cold heart, knowing that Sima Bao was by no means a good type, and once Yang Maosou perished, Sima Bao would most likely beat him for the idea of Longxi; And what Gao Yue has never mentioned to others is that he actually used Yang Maosou's Di army to exercise the combat effectiveness of his soldiers, and what Gao Yue really regarded as a confidant was actually Sima Bao.

The situation is like a game. Sometimes it looks like a good situation, and if you are not careful, you don't expect the opponent's backhand, and you lose everything. Gao Yue is waiting and observing, anyway, he is currently winning, we have to see how Yang Maosou reacts, and if he fights to the death, what will he plan; Even, Sima Bao will not make any moves. Now that Han Yong is leading the army in Yinping, his rear is a little empty, but fortunately, a few days ago, he had ordered Li Hu to be transferred to Xiangwu, and he would guard the base camp in advance.

"Robbers, catch robbers!"

He hadn't taken two steps when a hoarse scream came from behind him, breaking the peace and bustle of the street near noon.

Gao Yue was pondering to himself, and when he heard the alarm, he was startled, and suddenly turned his head, but saw a hundred and ten steps behind him, a person was running towards this side quickly, looking back from time to time, and farther away, there was a haggard old man with a frightened face, while trying to catch up, while pointing ahead and screaming to catch the robbers, he staggered in less than two steps, and he couldn't catch up at all.

The man who was suspected of being a robber hurriedly stuffed a small pocket into his waist as he ran. The open edge of the blouse revealed a chest covered with black hair. He even kept wielding a bull's ear sharp knife in his hand, the knife was cold and shining, and the pedestrians were so frightened that they couldn't dodge, and for a time the chickens and dogs jumped, the boxes were scattered, the melons, fruits and vegetables were sprinkled all over the streets, and the people were noisy and the dogs were barking, and it was chaotic.

"you!"

The robber was like a mad dog, and he ran away, and he slammed away a child who was so frightened that he stood in the middle of the road, and could not dodge, and the child fell heavily to the ground, and broke his head, and the blood flowed all over his face, and the child's mother rushed up like a fire, and hugged the child tightly, and the mother and mother cried and grabbed the ground.

A few passers-by really couldn't stand it, and wanted to help, but they were afraid of the murder weapon in the hands of the robbers, and they didn't dare to step forward to stop them for a while, so they had no choice but to get out of the way, and only helped on both sides of the road and shouted at the top of their voices, hoping to call the city patrol soldiers, so they rushed up to subdue and capture them.

The man kicked left and right, and the road seemed to be unimpeded, and when he looked back, he had thrown the old man far away, and couldn't help but laugh proudly, and continued to spread his steps, and ran close to Gao Yue in a moment.

"Dogs, don't you have long eyes? Get out of here! ”

The robber's footsteps did not stop, and when he saw that Gao Yue was still stunned and pestle on the street, it was very dazzling, so he roared viciously. With a mouth full of black teeth, he stared at a pair of small round eyes, ran in front of Gao Yue in two steps, and slashed at Gao Yue's front door with a single sword.

This man first robbed others of their money, and now he dares to commit murder in the streets, and he is really a vicious bandit. Gao Yue would not have stood idly by, and at the moment, when the military plan was disturbed by such a despicable villain, it was like adding fuel to the fire, where could he escape, and he snorted coldly and went head-on.

He raised his left arm sharply, firmly holding the robber's knife, and his right fist was already roaring straight towards the opposite door. The robber was shocked, only to feel that this punch was so powerful that if it was smashed, he estimated that he would have fainted to death on the spot. The robber hurriedly tilted his head away and took a few steps back, and then raised his arms and tried to pull back as well.

There was a clicking sound, a heart-rending pain that made the robber howl miserably, and he fell to the ground, his right elbow was broken by Gao Yue's heavy punch, and he squeezed his eyebrows in pain, wanting to cry without tears, and his head and face were crawling with beads of sweat the size of beans.

It turned out that this person's name was Shuxi, and he was a pimp in the city, who was despised by abductors and deceivers since he was a child, and he has always been the most addicted to gambling. From yesterday night to this morning, he made a desperate gamble and mortgaged the only old house in his family, but the result was still a bamboo basket and a loss.

The dealer is a wealthy family in the city, and he can't afford to mess with it, so he watched the deed being accepted by others. When he came out of the gambling hall dejectedly, it was almost time to prepare lunch, and he washed his face with cold water, and felt even more upset and hungry.

In the cold winter, he only put on two shirts. Although he is also physically strong and not very afraid of the cold, but because he has no money to buy winter clothes, he simply mixes it half-cold and not cold. Now that he has lost the deed, and he doesn't even accept the clothes on his body, he is shy in his pocket, and he doesn't say that if he goes to the gambling house to turn over the book, he doesn't even know where to find a simple lunch.

Although after the Longxi army entered the city, it immediately posted notices to warn all kinds of people not to be traitors, but Shuxi did not take it to heart at all. It doesn't matter if you are a Han Chinese, whoever comes here to call the shots has nothing to do with him, he still lives like that every day, and he hasn't seen anyone treat him like this for more than ten years.

Juxi was also walking aimlessly on the streets, thinking about where to get some money next. When he passed by an old man, he found that the old man was standing on the side of the road, holding a money bag, the old man reached in, trembling and counting the money, the money into the eyes of the west of the eyes lit up, without much hesitation, he stepped forward and grabbed the money bag, ran away, and then met Gao Yue.

The pain was unbearable, and he shrank on the ground, Gao Yue's face was like ice, and he stepped forward and stepped on him. There were a few enthusiastic young people, who came over with three feet and two feet, and beat the book Xi again, and worked together to firmly control the book west, and some people couldn't help but praise Gao Yue: "Good friend, your skills are really sharp!" ”

Seeing that this vicious gangster was subdued on the spot, gradually many people surrounded him, and everyone was deeply impressed by Gao Yue's situation of not retreating and knocking down Juxi in two blows, and men, women, and children were full of praise.

Gao Yue smiled and waved his hand humbly, and the old man who was robbed had already rushed over.

"You brute, my money is life-saving money for my wife at home, and you ran away after grabbing it." The old man was out of breath, so tired that he couldn't speak, looking at the lost money bag, the old man was so excited that he wanted to kneel down for Gao Yue on the street.

Gao Yue also temporarily put his previous depression behind, and when he saw this, he stopped him, and said warmly: "Uncle, you must not be like this, you can't help when you see injustice, this is your duty, it's not worth it." ”

"Benefactor, if my wife has no money for treatment, I won't live long. Did you save my family, your benefactor? When the old man goes back, he will definitely build a shrine for you, burn high incense day and night, and ask God to bless you. ”

Where did the old man earn Gao Yue, he couldn't kneel down, and the green tendons on his thin neck protruded in a hurry, and he was panting, so he had to ask Gao Yue's name, Gao Yue consciously raised his hand, how could he want someone to reciprocate, and immediately said a few words to comfort the old man, turned around and walked away.

Everyone didn't know what Gao Yue was going to do, so they all looked at him. But I saw Gao Yue go straight to the mother and son who were pushed to the ground and broke their heads, the woman was still sitting on the ground with the child in her arms and weeping, and when she saw someone coming, she raised her red and swollen teary eyes and looked at Gao Yue helplessly.

Gao Yue saw that the child was only six or seven years old, thin and thin, and he didn't know whether he was cold or afraid in his mother's arms, but he couldn't stop crying and shaking. Gao Yue took off his robe, leaned over the child, and tucked the corners. The woman choked up and excused herself, Gao Yue said straight, don't freeze the child, don't be polite.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. The child just scratched his scalp, and did not hurt his skull, let Lang Zhong cover some sores with medicine, and rest for a while, most of them will be fine, the ground is cold, you get up quickly. ”

Gao Yue carefully looked at the wound on the side of the child's head, he had been in battle for a long time, and he could tell if he had injured his skull at a glance. The woman also saw Gao Yue just now that he was a good man who knocked down the gangsters, and saw him take off his coat and cover his child, and then listened to his kind and pleasant soft voice at this moment, and her heart was extremely moved, and she didn't know what to say in her mouth, she just nodded blindly, but the tears couldn't stop falling down.
