Chapter 20 Be careful

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and there was still smoke in the sky, and the thatched houses in the row were crackling. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ma Sheng closed his eyes and waited for death, at this moment he was already in despair.

Shi Qian jumped up, took the knife from Zuo Ning's hand and handed it to Gao Yu: "Kill the fart, if our Gao Gongzi didn't want to help you, you would have died many times." ”

Gao Yu scolded: "There are no rules! ”

Zo Ning hurriedly said: "I will discipline the bad guys, don't be angry." Shi Qian grimaced, hid behind Zo Ning and said: "Childe, in fact, you all understand that the four of them have committed taboos, and you want to recruit them by your side, and they are willing to follow you, why do you have to give your life to the old goblin of the Queen Mother?" ”

Gao Yu looked at the few people who were silent: "Let's get out of here first!" ”

Ma Sheng sat weakly against the carriage of the carriage, Shi Qian drove the carriage, Hu Tieling took a while and then turned back and said: "Da Mi, there are a few families in front, I think it is better to rest there tonight." ”

Barren mountains and mountains, it is good to have a place to shelter from the wind and cold, Gao Yu and others walked to the front, only to find that the so-called almost five or six households, Zo Ning stepped forward to call the door, and there was no sound inside. Hu Tieling said angrily: "Lao Tzu is an officer and soldier, and there is no reason why the door cannot be opened." Just about to step forward and slam the door, Gao Yu said: "Slow, probably because we look at the officers and soldiers who refuse to open it." ”

I slammed the door again, and I heard the shouting inside: "It's coming, it's coming!" An old voice, then the dilapidated courtyard door opened, and an old man stood in the door: "A few officials, who are you?" ”

Gao Yu said: "We passed here, it was getting late, and we wanted to find a place to spend the night, please ask if there is a vacant house, so we can avoid the wind and cold." ”

The old man looked at Gao Yu. "Look at my house, it's small, old and dilapidated, how can I accommodate you people and horses?"

He pointed diagonally to the opposite side and said, "That family has been moving away for a long time, and although the house is also dilapidated, it is enough for a few people to rest there for one night." ”

Gao Yu smiled: "Thank you!" After speaking, Chong took out a little silver in his arms: "Please come with us, in case someone can say hello, and help us boil some water and boil some porridge or something." ”

The old man took the silver, and immediately became much more enthusiastic, and led the way to the opposite house, where the door was hidden. The old man pushed open the courtyard door, and the yard was full of branches and weeds: "This yard is empty, we all pile firewood and grass here, just right, the grass can be fed to the horses, and the firewood can be used to make a fire." Wait, I'll go find something to eat for you. ”

Gao Yu and a few people entered the room, and there was a table and a few chairs in the main room, although it was shabby, it was barely usable. The east and west wings seem to be bedrooms, and each room has a bed. If a few people are crowded, they can sleep.

The old man took a rag and a broom, and cleaned it briefly, and Ma Sheng lay on the bed, keeping his eyes open and not saying a word. The rest of the people helped to boil water, Hu Tieling fed the horses in the courtyard and said: "Eat quickly, your brother Sheng is in a bad mood, and you have time to comfort and comfort him." ”

Wei Mingchengsi walked to Hu Tieling's side: "Third child, you also heard what Shi Qian said just now, what do you think?" ”

"I think about it, I think Gao Dami's person is good, the person who is a confidant dies, we can't sell our lives to the Queen Mother for no reason."

Wei Mingcheng said: "I don't know how you feel, anyway, I think that sooner or later in this life, we are destined to die without a corpse." Anyway, I don't have any relatives, and if I have the opportunity to escape, I may still have a way to live incognito. ”

"Escape? Hum. Now that there are four of us, and more than 20 people from the Liang army outside, where do you think you can escape? ”

Zo Ning walked out of the room: "Are you two busy, Da Mi asked us to talk." ”

"Wait!" Wei Mingcheng Si grabbed Zuo Ning: "Boss, you said that Gao Dami is so close to the Queen Mother, can he trust it?" ”

Zoning glanced at him: "There is a mountain stream in front, and there is a tiger in the back." Do you jump? ”

Hu Tieling said: "Jump! Jump in and talk! ”

The three of them entered the room one after another, and Shi Qian came out with a candlestick, which was suddenly much brighter than just now. The four of them sat down around the table, and the old man came in with a kettle: "The water is boiled, you drink it first, and the porridge will be boiled in a while." ”

"It's hard work!" Gao Yu said a few polite words to the old man.

Gao Yu saw that everyone had arrived, except for Ma Sheng, who was still in a daze in the room, he said: "Everyone, what Shi Qian said just now also said what was in my heart. ”

Zo Ning waved his hand to stop Gao Yu's words: "Da Mi, we are just acting on orders, you don't have to say anything." His eyes were fixed on Gao Yu and he shook his head gently.

Shi Qian was curious: "Why don't you say it?" What I just said was the truth! ”

Hu Tieling suddenly shook his hand, tied up Shi Qian, and stuffed a strip of cloth into his mouth: "You kid talks too much."

Gao Yu frowned slightly, the tacit understanding of these three people was abnormal.

"Porridge is coming!"

The old man came in with a basin, and there was hot rice porridge in it, and he said while serving the porridge to the four people: "A few officials, you eat slowly." The first bowl of porridge was handed to Gao Yu, he went around to Zuo Ning, and when he reached the third bowl, he just stood beside Hu Tieling and Wei Ming Chengsi, between Hu Tieling and Wei Ming Chengsi stood up at the same time, grabbed the old man with one arm, and Wei Ming Chengsi pressed the old man's head into the hot porridge basin.

"Woooooooooooo The old man struggled, but how could he have the strength to become famous. Wei Mingcheng Si let go of his hand, the old man raised his head, and shouted that the hot porridge was hot.

This change was too sudden, Gao Yu stood up: "What's the matter!" ”

Hu Tieling took advantage of Zuo Ning's efforts to come over for him, turned around and untied Shi Qian, and then tied the old man tightly.

Shi Qian took out the strip of cloth in his mouth: "What kind of nerves do you have!" He sat down and was about to drink porridge, but Zo Ning grabbed the bowl and threw it on the ground: "Don't drink it, it's poisonous!" ”

Gao Yu suddenly realized: "So you already knew? ”

Hu Tieling kicked the person on the ground who was hot and blistered: "I only found out before I entered the house, otherwise I wouldn't have talked so much to the second child." ”

"You guys were too careless!" Zo Ning said and put the porridge bowl in front of the man, sighed and said, "Okay, you can break it yourself!" ”

The old man suddenly stopped howling, he looked at Zo Ning, and then lowered his head and drank the porridge abruptly like a dog eating food, he stopped drinking it after a few sips, the porridge water mixed with white foam flowed down his mouth, his face became hideous, rolled on the ground twice, and then straightened up and lost his breath.

"My mother! This porridge is so powerful? Shi Qianjing was dumbfounded, even if he was well-informed Gao Yu, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: fortunately, these people are here, or his life would have been gone.

He hurriedly stood up and saluted like Zo Ning: "Thank you for saving your life!" ”

Zuo Ning hurriedly helped Gao Yu and said, "Gao Dami, don't thank me soon." I don't trust you anymore! ”

"Guys, what kind of mission are you carrying out this time, it's definitely not for a salt merchant, right?"

Now Zo Ning didn't want to hide it, it turned out that the Queen Mother saw that it was quite difficult to take Yongle City first, so on the one hand, she sent Gao Yu to persuade the salt merchants to raise funds for sponsorship, and on the other hand, she wanted to exterminate the salt merchants on a large scale. Regardless of whether the salt merchants pay or not, they must also eliminate the salt merchants who smuggle salt on the Xia and Song borders.

Gao Yu said: "It's too vicious, then why did this person come to kill us?" ”

"This person should have acted independently to go back to his life and pass through here, probably to see who sent us by the way, and if there is any news to go back to tell the Queen Mother. It's just that he overheard the conversation between the second and third children, so he wants to kill us and ask for credit. ”

Gao Yu couldn't help but wonder: "Then how did you find out that there was something wrong with him?" ”

Zo Ning said: "Da Mi, but when this old man opened the door with us, he didn't light the light when he came out of the house, and he didn't have the slightest look of surprise when he opened the door." Just now, while he was boiling water, I looked around, there was no one here, what was he doing here? ”

Hu Tieling untied the rope from the dead man, and touched him again: "Found it!" He took out a waist card and handed it to the king, and then took off his own, with the word "Patrol Token" engraved on one side and the word "Liang" engraved on the other.

Needless to say, a few people were looking for a place to bury the corpses, and when they returned to the room, Hu Tieling whispered to Zuo Ning and said, "Since we came out with you all the way, we haven't done anything else except bury people." ”

Zo Ning said: "You can't say that, I also accepted an apprentice?!" ”

"By the way, what do you think of your apprentice's proposal?"

Zuo Ning shook his head: "It's difficult, Da Mi is a ...... sent by the Queen Mother after all."

"But I'm not the Queen Mother!" Gao Yu appeared at the door of the house.

"Dami, you haven't slept yet?" The two men rolled over and sat up.

"Get up, I have something to say!"

Several people sat around the table, and Gao Yu said: "I originally came to help Western Xia, and I wanted to use the incident of Yongle City to file the sharp spirit of the Song Dynasty. But the Queen Mother didn't listen to the dissuasion, rushed forward, and wanted to harm the innocent, so I decided not to help Xixia anymore. ”

"It's long overdue!" Hu Tieling said.

"Several, if you want, follow me in the future, let's also have a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches, and take Yongle City as our base."

"I'll follow!" Ma Sheng punched him on the table!

Zo Ning said: "Gao Dami, benevolence and righteousness, we are willing to swear to follow, but just a few of us, there are not enough people!" ”

The corners of Gao Yu's mouth raised slightly: "Isn't the Queen Mother going to exterminate the Salt Gang?" Then we will save the Salt Gang, not to mention more, there are dozens of big and small leaders, and there should be three or five hundred people with them! ”

"Just a few of us?" Hu Tieling said: "What we have to deal with are more than ten masters of the Liang army?!" ”

Gao Yu shook his head: "We are a group of people, although there are more than ten of them, they are all one person. Now we have to rush to Yanzhou immediately, the more people the leader of the Salt Gang survives, the better our chances. ”

Zo Ning slapped the table and said, "Anyway, it's death, and in the future, the four of us will follow Gao Dami, no!" Follow Gao Gongzi! ”

"Good!" The four of them said in unison.

Shi Qian rubbed his sleepy eyes and stood at the door: "You woke up the master in the middle of the night!" ”

Wei Mingcheng thought about the past and put Shi Qian on his shoulder: "Call the second uncle, or I will fall to your death!" The crowd burst out laughing.
