Chapter 26 On the eve of saving people
Liangshan had already prepared a fast boat, and everyone boarded the boat to the golden beach.
Tankou on the side of the "for the heavens" banner fluttering, really extraordinary, the beach mouth of the Song River, Wu Yong and other Qingzhou acquaintances have come to greet each other, Shi Jin is also among them, it turns out that he also escaped a catastrophe, came to Liangshan.
There are also many fresh faces among them, presumably heroes who went up the mountain later.
After a conversation with Zhongyitang, the Shang Council and Liangshan, Shaohua Mountain and Sword Villa marched to Gaotang Prefecture, first sent a message, threatening Gao Lian, if you don't listen, you will go all out and capture Gaotang Prefecture, just like Qing and Hua Erzhou.
Two days later, troops were dispatched.
That night, the bright moon hung high, under the broken golden pavilion on the edge of the cliff, a man sat with a knife, the shadow of the knife was long, and he pulled out a long one, which seemed lonely and lonely.
There was a man sitting in the pavilion, he put his hand into his arms, took out a lotus pattern of the bag, the fragrance into his nose, he looked at the bag for a moment, clenched it in the palm of his hand and said, "Lan'er, it will be convenient for you to meet soon, this time I will never let you leave my side again." ”
……
In a secret room in Gaotang Prefecture, there was only one person sitting and lying down, holding the Dao seal, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Suddenly, the door of the secret room opened, and a tall and thin middle-aged man walked in, dressed in Taoist clothes, but wearing a civil official headdress. ”
The Taoist saluted and asked, "Lian Qing, everything is ready?" ”
"Tell the master, the soldiers and horses are properly arranged, and the people and horses on Liangshan also sent a letter to our state, and they really hit the plan."
"Okay, Lianqing, you have done a good job, on the day of the teacher's life, I will give you Tiangang Divine Jade, so that you can also live a long life."
"Master Xie." The tall and thin man bowed happily.
"Okay, you go down."
"Yes."
The Taoist looked at the back of the man leaving, and the corners of his mouth were unconsciously raised, and the contempt was undoubtedly revealed.
The Taoist stood up and walked into the back hall of the secret room, the back hall was dimly lit, and he waved the dust, and a man escorted him out.
"Who are you? Why are you arresting me? The tied man shouted.
The Taoist sneered, "Why? It's no wonder that you like someone you shouldn't like. ”
……
Bianjing Yanfu Palace Yangxin Palace, magnificent, bright candles and stars.
A huge palace, but there are only two people. A person was dressed in a yellow brocade robe, with a golden flower with a hairpin dragon pattern on his head, he was of medium age, and his upright face was full of majesty, but at this time, he seemed to be frightened, and he looked at a piece of rice paper in his hand fixedly, and his eyes were dull.
In front of him was a young girl in pink, eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a silver neon red fine cloud brocade silk acacia top, and a pleated skirt with scattered flowers, water mist and green grass, with a pretty face, and her eyes shining with wisdom, as if she was waiting for something.
"Rou'er, I don't believe it, he won't do this to me." The man roared suddenly, threw away the rice paper, and his eyes were red like a demon.
"Father, don't be obsessed anymore, in recent days, you have taken the Blood Pill in a row, that is what harms you, where can you prolong your life, if you don't believe that your father can press it to three inches below the Zhangmen acupoint, is there anything wrong."
The man slowly put his hand on the place where the woman said, and pressed it gently, it was a heart-piercing pain, which made the man tremble, I don't know whether he was angry or afraid, he gritted his teeth and said, "This thief dares to deceive me, what should I do." ”
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, and said with sorrow between her eyebrows, "Father, the current plan is to send the forbidden army to capture this thief alive, so as to force the antidote, I suggest sending the generals Yue Fei and Han Jun of the deputy envoy of Han Shu to do it. ”
"Okay, Rou'er, if this matter is successful, I will crown you as the eldest princess of Emperor Roufu, the head of the princesses, and you can call the Long Qiji Forbidden Army at will with my royal card, and you must catch this thief."
The pink-clothed girl's eyes flashed sharply, and she bowed, "Yes, father." ”
……
A hidden valley mouth at the state boundary of Gaotang Prefecture, the valley mouth highland, under the illumination of the moonlight, suddenly walked up to the second Taoist priest, one was full of white hair, his face was full of ravines, but his eyes were full of exhaustion, and another young Taoist priest supported him.
The two of them stopped, facing the mighty bright moon, the white-haired Taoist priest's constantly shaking fingers suddenly stopped, sighed and said, "That's it, how can the providence of heaven be beyond the reach of man." ”
"Master, that's all we can do, and success or failure depends on the will of God."
The white-haired Taoist sighed again, closed his eyes and muttered, "Anyway, let this waking nightmare end quickly." ”
……
The so-called clouds are moving in all directions, people and horses are driven together, and under the deception, there will be a river of blood.
The two days must be approached, the Liangshan water moored the warships to and fro, the Jinsha stall was full of people, swords and guns, and the drums shook the sky, which made the Jeju generals tremble.
Fortunately, the people of Liangshan traveled westward, and the road was only a few hours, and they had already arrived at the city of Gaotang Prefecture.
At the front of the team, Song Jiang carried a white horse and a blue sword at his waist, and Wu Song, who was carrying a sword, went hand in hand.
The city wall of Gaotang Prefecture is thick, the battlements have been set up with bows and crossbows, the soldiers are lying down behind the city wall, there are two people standing on the city tower, the appearance of the civil official must be Gao Lian, and the person next to him is Jiang Zhenren, and the two are talking about something.
If others see Jiang Zhenren, they must not feel much, but Wu Song is not, his eyesight is excellent, after catching a glimpse of Jiang Zhenren's appearance on the city tower, he can't turn away, the image of the red light Dao person in the dream is the same as him, sure enough, he really has something to do with Gao Lian, looking at that Gao Lian's face is respectful, presumably his status is not low.
It wasn't until Song Jiang asked that he came back to his senses, it turned out that Song Jiang asked him if he would attack the city wall, and Wu Song secretly said that he didn't care what kind of conspiracy he had, and if he killed all of them, it would be over.
He took out the Longquan knife and said to Song Jiang, "Brother Song, give the order to attack, as I expected, the Taoist on the upper floor of the city is the leader of the group of mysterious Taoist priests, and all the heroes died at his hands." ”
Everyone was shocked, and then their eyes burst into anger.
Soon, the horn was sounded, and a series of ladders were carried up by the soldiers, and there were shield soldiers in front of them who specialized in defending against bows and arrows, and quickly approached the city wall.
The drums at the gates also beat.
"Kill."
After killing and wounding some soldiers, one after another cloud ladders finally set up the city wall, and many Liangshan soldiers shouted the bloody word.
Both sides began to bleed.
Wu Song and the other leaders did not make a move, but they were ready to do it. Looking at the heroes under the city wall who were shot down by rolling stones and wooden skulls and bows and arrows, everyone was furious, and just waited for an order, they the guys, and the blood stained Gaotang Prefecture.
A group of soldiers rushed up from Wu Song and the others, rushed to the city wall, and greeted the dense rain of arrows and wood and stones, although they did not retreat despite the bloodshed, the shouts of killing shook the sky, blood splashed everywhere, and the stumps and broken arms fell, and the end was extremely bloody.
Soon the battle reached the white-hot stage, and Song Jiang and Wu Yong also knew that it was the turn of the generals to come out, so they ordered the leaders to charge.
As soon as the order was given, I saw a prisoner's cart galloping out on the other side of the city gate where the heroes were attacking, and a man was locked in the wooden fence.
Behind the prisoner's car, there were also a number of horsemen, except for Gao Lian and a few guards, the rest were all people dressed as Taoist priests, both men and women.
"Father, it's father." Chai Li shouted excitedly.
"If the officers and soldiers want to escape, go and save the officials." Shi Jin took the lead, holding a hook and sickle and shouted.
Chai Li was concerned about his father and followed closely.
Everyone couldn't react at once, but Wu used his brain quickly, leaving Song Jiang and himself and a few other people who didn't know martial arts to stay behind to lead the overall siege of the city, and Wu Song led everyone to chase in the direction of Gao Lian's escape.
Wu Song tried his best to hold back the excitement caused by seeing that familiar and pretty face, and waved his knife and shouted, "Everyone, follow me." ”
About dozens of famous Liangshan heroes, as well as dozens of good hands from Stone and Sword Villa, rushed to the direction of Gao Lian's escape.
The horses galloped wildly, leaving behind billowing dust.
Song Jiang and the others just forgot a few glances, and then focused their energy on the current battle in the city, and the people of Gaotang Prefecture and Liangshan were still evenly matched.
But what everyone didn't notice was that behind the Liangshan camp tent, in front of the Gaotang Prefecture city wall, a large number of officers and soldiers were approaching this side, they were vigorous and strong, and they were the elite of the official army at a glance.
"Damn, big brother, what kind of horse are they riding, why can't they keep up with the general." Shi Shi shouted at Wu Song while controlling the horse under him.
Wu Song felt the same way, but they could only be led by the nose. He secretly said that he could only wait for the horses pulling the prisoner cart to get tired before they could save those people, so he recklessly whipped the horses under him dozens of times, trying his best to shorten the distance.
The sound of horses' hooves.
Coming to a fork, two loess roads, leading to two secluded valley mouths.
Suddenly, the team in front of him suddenly divided into two teams, one team was led by Gao Lian, he and the guards led the prisoner cart and rushed to the empty valley on the right, while the Daoists rushed into the empty valley on the left.
Everyone hesitated for a while, and then they cast inquiring glances at Wu Song. Wu Song immediately made a decision and ordered Lu Junyi to lead the men and horses to rescue Chai Jin in the empty valley on the right.
Bring stones with yourself and chase after those Taoists.
The horses then divided into two teams and rushed into the two valleys.
Chai Li rushed into the valley with everyone, the valley was unusually empty, there were several exits, and I didn't know which side it led to, both sides and the back of the valley were messy autumn grass, high enough to reach people.
Chai Jin's prisoner car was only a dozen feet away from everyone, but Chai Li never felt that the distance was so far, he held a dragon pattern inlaid gold and copper rod.
It is the family heirloom of his Chai family, although it has gone through a hundred years, it is still as shiny as new, it is full of human blood in the hands of Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong, famous all over the world, and now it is only used as a symbol.
The prisoner van stopped.
Chai Li couldn't believe his eyes, the prison car actually stopped, he saw his father's unkempt face, but still heroic face, thinking of his father, who had been a civil, educational and martial artist, that noble official, was actually packed in this broken prison car, his heart was extremely uncomfortable.
Ignoring anything, he rode forward.
