Chapter 194: Hostages
On the Xunyang River, the fog locks the river. Unexpectedly, it was rain and snow again, and when I walked all the way, it was muddy under my feet. At this time, on the dock outside the city, that Cai Jiu Xianggong withdrew his eyes from the official boat that disappeared in the fog in the river, looked down at the stains on his feet, and unconsciously said "bad luck". Seeing that the weather was bad, he took the officials of the state with him, plus more than a hundred public servants, and looked back to the city. This time, because it was official business, Huang Wenbing, who did not bring Zhishi, came with him.
Cai Jiu and the others wondered, and when they stopped to watch, they found that in the fog there was a group of officers and soldiers coming here, Cai Jiu secretly thought: "The officers and soldiers in the city do not have my order, which one dares to come out without permission?" Could it be that the people and horses who lined up at Huangmen Mountain yesterday, but the withdrawn military order was sent early in the morning, how could they return so quickly, but didn't they make this guy suffer defeat? No wonder the eldest brother Cai You said that the imperial court army and horses were unreliable, seeing that it was so difficult for the five hundred horse army to clean up a small cottage, what else could they expect them to do? It's infuriating! ”
Seeing that the team was getting closer and closer, the more Cai Jiu thought about it, the more angry he became, and shouted: "But Xiaojie Battalion!" Let your commanders come to me. ”
One of the generals in that formation smiled and said, "But no, you have never been blind, and you haven't seen me to wait for armor!" It's just that the commander has suffered a defeat, and his body is already cold, so when you want to look for him, go to the underworld to talk to him! ”
When Cai Jiu heard this, he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, He had heard those sluts talk to him like this, and immediately pointed to the group of people in the fog and scolded angrily: "You are also considered a military horse of the imperial court, and you have lost the face of the imperial court!" This official doesn't care about you now, so he crossed the river by himself, looked for the team, and reported to the commander of the Guangrui battalion, where Commander Liu, and escorted the prisoners to Tokyo with them! If there is a bad pool, the punishment will not be spared! ”
When the officers and soldiers heard this, they all immediately became agitated. I saw that a general at the head of the group stretched out his hand and chopped over the public who came forward with a knife, pointed at Cai Jiuda and scolded: "Dog official, the grandfathers are all reversed, and I will take your head today!" ”
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone on the shore immediately shouted, seeing that the officers and soldiers were about to rebel, and everyone who was doing public affairs was quick to take the road to death and escaped, where could they still care about the life of their boss. Cai Jiu, who was left behind, saw that it was not the head. Seeing that the road was blocked by this group of people, he had to turn around and take a few relatives to hide on the dock. At this time, there were only thousands of miles of Yangtze River flowing eastward in front of him, Cai Jiu saw that the situation was urgent, and he was afraid of the cold when he wanted to jump into the river.
At this time, he was hesitating for a while, so as to calculate the endless road, when he saw a big ship sailing not far away. Cai Jiu and his entourage hurriedly shouted, "Your boatman, come over and cross the river quickly, and there will be a reward!" ”
The man on board listened. Hurriedly asked the boat to dock, Cai Jiu was overjoyed, and staggered onto the boat with the support of his entourage, and then saw a white-clothed scholar. Cai Jiu said: "Quickly cross me to the other side, if you meet the officials and soldiers in my city, I will reward you heavily!" ”
The white-clothed scholar just smiled and looked at Cai Jiu. Seeing his noncommittal appearance, Cai Jiu hurriedly made a wish: "Look at your appearance, you are also a reading seed, I won't tell you, this official is the parent of this Jiangzhou, if you can save me this time, I will ensure that you will be prosperous in the future and have a worry-free future!" ”
The white-clothed scholar laughed when he heard this, but he didn't stare at Cai Jing's youngest son anymore, but just ordered the boat to cross the river, Cai Jiu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in his heart that there are such righteous people under his rule, which shows that he is very popular, so why is he unhappy in his heart? Immediately urged the boat to cross the river, and immediately thought in his stomach: "First we will gather the battalion to escort the officers and soldiers." It must be known that the officers and soldiers of this battalion are unusual, but the old father specially transferred them from the forbidden army in the capital to help him, and the commanders are all people who are promoted by themselves, unlike other military horses that are transferred from all over the world, and they are not at ease when it is critical. After calling this team to go back and quell the rebellious army, other matters will be discussed later. ”
I saw that Cai Jiu's big boat was traveling in the river for a while, and finally found the two official boats that were disembarking on the shore, Cai Jiu shouted to his entourage, but unfortunately the distance was still far away, who could hear it. Cai Jiu couldn't do it, so he had to send the Buddha to the west by the white-clothed scholar in Yang, and quickly rowed the boat over.
The officers and soldiers on the boat didn't know that Zhizhou was coming, and they still pushed the prisoner cart down unhurriedly, and pushed eighteen prisoner carts in turn to stop on the side of the road.
But he saw the first person in the prisoner's cart, although he looked like an iron tower. I had no choice but to grieve in this cage, I saw that his face was full of vicissitudes, but there was a trace of perseverance between his eyebrows, after all, this was not the first time he was in danger, and his mind was very strong, so he could still die without falling.
It's just that the black dwarf prisoner in the prisoner car next to him is miserable, I saw that his eyes are red, his eyebrows and beard are hung with ice slag, and his face is already colorless.
Thinking of this made him want to cry, at this time, for him, even if he could go back to the moment before killing that Yan Po, or the days when he called Wang Lun's mouth on Qingfeng Mountain, he was willing to exchange everything he could take out at this time. It's a pity that he can't go back at this time, and his heart is like ashes at this time, and he only then figured out a truth: no matter how embarrassing the past is, he can't go back. All you have is the hour you are experiencing. It's like sitting in a cold prison car at this time, this is the real thing.
At this time, a wail came from another cage, and I saw that a rebellious man in the prisoner car was already crying to tears, and he only looked at the corpse in a prisoner car next to him, and saw that the man was already dead, where could he give him a response at this time? Even if it was the extremely impatient expression on his face that he always hung on before his death, even if it was the action of beating his mother and scolding Lao Tzu. At this time, they are all desperate.
And the most unscrupulous escort out was a handsome young man, I saw that he was different from the others, but his whole body was bound, this man didn't care, just looked at the void in a daze.
The boat carrying Cai Jiu finally approached, and Zhizhou couldn't help shouting: "Commander Liu, wait and stay, first make sure I go back to the state office, there is a battalion of military horses on the shore who has rebelled!" ”
Commander Liu was shocked when he heard this, and saw that he ordered more than 30 people to stay without saying a word, and told them to look at the prisoners who had already gone ashore, so he beckoned everyone to get back on the boat and go back, and he hurriedly ran to this side of the boat to get down to take this Zhizhou down.
At this time, a voice came from the ship: "It's okay to ask Cai Jiu to go back, just ask your people to get the horses and armor and weapons down, otherwise let you take a dead man back, and you can deal with Cai Jing!" ”
Cai Jiu was shocked when he heard this, and before he could say a few words, he was twisted by two barbarians who came up from the cabin, thinking where he had suffered this crime, and immediately complained bitterly, and after a while, he suddenly heard a foul smell, it turned out that Cai Jiu was so frightened that he was so scared that he was full of and urine, and everyone on the boat covered their noses and mouths, scolding Cai Jiu. Seeing this, the barbarian man only picked up Cai Jiu and was about to throw him into the river.
Commander Liu on the shore was shocked, how could a rich and noble person like Enxiang bear this crime when it was freezing in the cold? If there are three long and two short, he can be regarded as an explanation in his life, and immediately begged the people on the boat: "Hero, hero, there is something to say, something to say!" You must know that this noble man is the governor of Jiangzhou, the son of Cai Xianggong in the dynasty, I hope you will think twice! ”
The white-clothed scholar on the boat smiled: "It's this noble man who is waiting!" I would like to ask this Commander Liu, is it the importance of horses and weapons, or the importance of your benefactor, so I can weigh it, that is, when I am patient, my brother may not be patient! The big black man didn't know if it was deliberate, or how, the thick hands that suddenly grabbed Cai Jiu suddenly looked down, and frightened Cai Jiu and Commander Liu on the shore to the point that their hearts were about to pop out.
The commander was eager to go up and snatch the people back, but the cool breeze blowing in his face brought him a chill and made him extremely clear-headed, at this time, even the people of this battalion were all folded here, and they could not lose a single hair before Lord Enxiang. When he understood this, he turned around and shouted, "Drop your horses and armor and throw them on the shore!" ”
I saw him stomp his feet, take the lead in handing over his saber, and urged his subordinates to throw their swords, guns and armor on the horses, and send them straight to the shore where no one was, and suddenly saw that at this time there was an arrow on the boat, and then saw that hundreds of people suddenly came out of the woods, and under the leadership of several big men, they all smiled and stepped forward to lead the horse, and the commander of Liu was shocked at first sight, for fear that the night would be long and dreamy, and hurriedly shouted to the boat: "The young general has done so, so please let my father-in-law get off the boat!" ”
The white-clothed scholar turned around and gave a few orders to the people on the boat, and then he got off the ship with dozens of people, and the commander had no way to retreat, and even gave his own swords and guns, what else could he do with the other party, just listened to him hard, and listened to the scholar say: "You wait here, and after half an hour you will find him along the main road, and you will see his figure." ”
Seeing that they still refused to let go, Cai Jiu hurriedly shook his head, afraid that he would not come back nine times out of ten, so he listened to Commander Liu: "What if you harm my family's kindness!" How can I trust you? ”
"What if you don't believe me? If you have to force my brother to launch a fierce attack, and slash into your bird boat, so that you are all dead, then you will believe it! Then he saw a reckless man next to the white-clothed scholar jump out and shouted, and then said, "Brother, let's kill this birdman, what do you have to say to them?" He still blames me for bullying him! ”
Commander Liu and Cai Jiu were both frightened, where did they dare to make a sound, they heard that the group of people no longer paid attention to the officials and soldiers, and walked directly to the prisoner car on the spot, and heard the barbarian say to the white-clothed scholar in a very exaggerated voice: "Brother Jiang Jing, since you have met this group of people, it is fate, it is better to rescue them all back to the mountain!" ”
At four o'clock in the afternoon, I came back from the hanging needle and rushed out of the chapter, but I haven't eaten it yet, my head is dizzy, my body is very uncomfortable now, and I'm afraid that I can't write a chapter in the early morning, so I apologize. (To be continued......)
