Chapter XVI: The Exchange of Prisoners
The pigtailed man returned to Zhenyuan Mansion City, and immediately went to Zhizhou Mansion to report the results to Liu Baoshan. Liu Baoshan www.biquge.info who was very happy, was very concerned about the exchange of prisoners between the two sides on the border of Tianzhu County. He sent Cao Garrison to the border of Tianzhu County with 200 musketeers, and set up defenses early.
A day later, the pigtailed man escorted the dart master of the Zhenwu Dart Bureau to the direction of Tianzhu County, Liu Baoshan stood in front of the mansion gate, looking at the position of the east, as long as his son came back this time, he would immediately mobilize heavy troops to press Tianzhu County.
The pigtailed man led a hundred soldiers to escort more than 30 dart masters, these dart masters were obviously much thinner, and some of them still had the scars of being whipped, but their resolute faces never gave up, and these dart masters all believed that the boss would definitely save them.
The team marched slowly into the distance, and the pigtailed man's face still had a sad color, he was afraid that this time things would not be done well, he would be beaten to death by Liu Baoshan, and even more vicious criminal law would deal with him.
Time is always so fair, no matter what, it never stops, and in the blink of an eye it has come to November 20, 1887.
On this day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, the sky was cloudless, and it was a rare good weather for Guizhou Province, but the pigtailed man enjoyed it in his heart, and he finally came to the place where the two sides met.
The pigtailed man found that Cao Garrison had set up a camp, and he immediately went to ask Cao Qian for instructions on what to do.
Cao Shoubei looked at the pigtailed man's posture very low, and he was even more satisfied in his heart, and said with a smile to the pigtailed man, "You contact that Li Zhongju to discuss the specific method, if the other party plays any tricks, come to the official, and the official will press the formation for you, all for the purpose of exchanging the son." ”
The pigtailed man breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "The little one thanks the adult, please rest assured, the little one will definitely change back to the child." ”
The pigtailed man knew this time, the other party had definitely come to the meeting place, and the pigtailed man walked alone towards Tianzhu County, which was two miles away.
A few minutes later, the pigtailed man entered the boundary of Tianzhu County, and sure enough, he found that there were two camps here, he immediately stepped forward, and under the leadership of a soldier, he walked into the camp tent and saw Li Zhongju.
Li Zhongju seemed very enthusiastic this time, and stood up and asked the pigtailed man for warmth, which made the pigtailed man feel a little flattered, and he was a little fluttery for a while, I don't know why.
The pigtailed man suddenly smiled and said, "My lord, your dart master, I brought it, and it is in the camp tent in the rear, I don't know how the adult is going to exchange." ”
Li Zhongju felt that he had been talking boring words with the other party for a long time, and it was indeed true, "I think so, we will each take our fifty soldiers to the empty area in the middle of the camp tents of the two sides, and exchange there, we can sign a treaty now to prevent anyone from breaking their promises." ”
Of course, the pigtailed man would not have an opinion, and immediately agreed, and after half an hour of appointment between the two sides, the two sides officially exchanged prisoners.
Finally, half an hour later, Li Zhongju and Song Naruto came to the meeting place with fifty soldiers from the Lieshan Battalion and Liu Qing, including twenty cavalrymen.
The pigtailed man also led fifty escorts to more than thirty dart masters to the agreed place.
When Liu Qing saw the pigtailed man, he was so excited that he was about to cry, he never thought that it was the pigtailed man who came to save him in the end.
When the dart masters of the Zhenwu Dart Bureau saw Li Zhongju, they were all choked, although they were all tied with ropes, but they were crying in their hearts, sure enough, the boss came to save them, this time, they must be willing to do anything for Li Zhongju.
Li Zhongju looked at the pigtailed man, "You release half of the people first, and then I release Liu Qing, and then you release all the people, how about it?" ”
The pigtailed man nodded, "Okay, just do it according to your request, come on, let the eighteen dart masters walk over first." ”
"No." The soldiers let go of the eighteen dart divisions and let them walk towards the opposite side.
The distance of thirty meters was extremely long at this time, and everyone waited patiently, and they didn't think it was long.
Finally, the eighteen dart masters walked up to Li Zhongju and pounced, and they all knelt down with tears in their eyes, "Boss, we have embarrassed the dart game." ”
Li Zhongju lifted them up one by one, comforted them, and told them not to go to their hearts, everything would pass.
Li Zhongju asked Song Naruto to let go of Liu Qing.
Liu Qing immediately ran away, he had really stayed enough these days, he had no meat to eat every day, no sister to accompany him, he couldn't stand it, so he was eager to go back to before.
Liu Qing ran to the pigtailed man's side and immediately yelled loudly, "Don't let the rest go, detain Ben Gongzi, Ben Gongzi will torture them well." ”
The pigtailed man suddenly broke into a cold sweat, "Childe, the opponent's guns can shoot us at this distance, and their cavalry can quickly catch up with us." Childe held back, and waited until he went back to meet Lord Zhizhou before making plans. ”
Liu Qing had lost his wit at this time, and after the pigtail man said this, Liu Qing only wanted to go home and see Liu Baoshan, the governor of his father's town.
The pigtailed man waved his hand, and his soldiers let go of the remaining seventeen dart masters, who returned to Li Zhongju's side and knelt down as well, and Li Zhongju also helped them up.
Li Zhongju shouted to Liu Qing opposite, "Master Liu, go all the way, welcome to Tianzhu County again." ”
Liu Qing didn't say anything, and hurriedly urged the pigtailed man to leave quickly, the pigtailed man was extremely happy, and he didn't want to stay here any longer.
Cao Shoubei watched the pigtailed man bring back his son, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he said to the pigtailed man, "Mr. has worked hard, let's take Gongzi back immediately to see what Lord Zhizhou has to say." ”
The pigtailed man nodded, thinking about the master book of the seventh grade in his heart, and when he thought of this, his heart was very satisfied.
Liu Qing, Cao Shoubei, and the pigtailed man left with three hundred soldiers, leaving only a period of shame for them.
Li Zhongju immediately ordered everyone to cook a rich meal, so that the more than thirty brothers could eat a full meal first, and then say anything else, and the dart masters were all grateful beyond words.
Li Zhongju looked at the way everyone gobbled up, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he silently swore that he would never allow such a thing to happen again in the future.
The next day, Li Zhongju returned to Tianzhu County with everyone, and Liu Jiang looked at the more than 30 brothers, almost all of whom had lost a lot of weight, and he was really sad in his heart.
Li Zhongju gave these 30 or so people a vacation for half a month, and at the same time gave each of them a tael of silver, so that they could take care of their bodies and do things for the dart game when they were better.
Xiaomei didn't see Li Zhongju for a few days, and she really missed it in her heart, and when she finally saw Li Zhongju come back today, she happily ran to Li Zhongju's side, hugged Li Zhongju and cried loudly, "Brother, Xiaomei misses you." ”
Li Zhongju put his arms around Xiaomei, looked into the distance, and stroked Xiaomei's beautiful hair with his hand.
