Chapter 24: The Son of an Old Enemy
Out of the medical hall, the wounds on Gao Wuji's body were cleaned and bandaged, although his expression was still a little decadent, but it was finally fine. However, Gao Wuji was always hesitant and seemed to have something to say, but every time he came to his mouth, he held it back.
Xiao Ruixue asked, "What do you want to say?" ”
"Uh, can I pay you back the medicine money you paid for me this time?"
Xiao Ruixue chuckled: "Forget it, it's just a few dollars of silver!" ”
Gao Wuji's face suddenly turned red: "My mother said that the eldest husband will not be punished for his merits!" I'm just meeting you in the water, how can I make your money in vain? ”
Xiao Ruixue glanced at him in surprise and said with a smile: "Okay, whatever you want, pay it back when you have the money!" ”
Hearing this, Gao Wuji's face improved slightly, and he said, "Don't worry! You also saw my skills last time, I can work for six or seven people, and I can earn a lot of silver every month! At this point, he seemed a little smug.
Last time Gao Wuji carried rice and grain for the Xiao family, Xiao Ruixue was always present, knowing that what he said was true, so she smiled, looked at Gao Wuji's figure with a look of envy and jealousy, and said, "Gao Wuji, how tall are you?" ”
This sentence seemed to ask Gao Wuji's more proud place, and he smiled: "Eight feet and one inch!" ”
"I'm not mistaken, he's as tall as I was in my previous life, but that's when I was twenty years old, and he looks like he's only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he probably grows taller in two years. Hey, it's really more popular than people! Xiao Ruixue was a little depressed in her heart, and said, "Gao Wuji, how old are you this year?" ”
"Me? Fifteen! ”
"Fifteen?" Xiao Ruixue's voice became a little sharp, she had forgotten to deliberately lower her tone, and only looked at Gao Wuji in surprise and said, "You won't be tricking me, right?" ”
"What's so deceitful about this, I'm fifteen!"
"Well, you're a little old!" Xiao Ruixue's face twitched slightly.
"By the way, Young Master Xiao, how old are you?"
"Fourteen." Xiao Ruixue replied depressedly.
Gao Wuji smiled: "No wonder your voice sometimes sounds like a little lady, it should still be in the breaking period!" ”
Xiao Ruixue glanced at him, a little reluctant to make a sound. Gao Wuji seemed to see her depression, reached out and patted her head gently, and withdrew his hand before she was about to hair: "Young Master Xiao, don't be discouraged, your size is good among the natives of Southern Chu!" Li Worm and Dwarf Tiger are the same as me, one year older than you, but you can see that Li Worm is only as tall as you, let alone Dwarf Tiger! ”
"Listen to what you mean, you are not a native of Southern Chu?"
"No, I moved to Jiangnan with my mother when I was very young."
"And where is your hometown?"
"I don't know! I only vaguely remember that my hometown was also quite prosperous, and at night the streets were full of lights, and my father was also very tall, and he sometimes put me on his shoulders to play in the street, and many people nodded politely when they saw him. Gao Wuji's eyes were a little confused, as if he was trying to recall.
"And who else is in your family now?"
"It's just me and my mother, and my father is long gone!"
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked!"
"It doesn't matter, I was young at the time, my mother told me that my father was dead, and I didn't feel much about it, I can't even remember what my father looked like, but now I occasionally recall some clips from my childhood, and I feel a little sad."
Hearing Gao Wuji say this, Xiao Ruixue felt embarrassed and said, "Then do you remember your father's name?" ”
"Of course I remember, I still have my father's spirit card at home, and my father's name is Gao Feihu!"
"Goofy Tiger?" Xiao Ruixue was shocked, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Gao Wuji, all along, she cared too much about Gao Wuji's figure, so as to ignore his appearance, at this time, she took a closer look, only to see Gao Wuji's square face, with two thick silkworm eyebrows, deep eye sockets, hard and hard edges, although not handsome, but also considered to be good-looking, the key is that in his eyes at this moment, he has become a little familiar.
In an instant, Xiao Ruixue's mind flashed into her mind, and several dusty memories came flooding back.
In the first act, in the tenth year of Liang Guotiansheng, the flag under Taiyuan City covered the sun and killed the abnormal.
"Liang Guo's rats, who would dare to come out and fight me?" A general of the Yan army, dressed in cold black armor, with a leopard head and eyes, and a beard on his face, was like thunder, beating horses and hovering in front of the Liang army.
Qin Han, the commander of the Liang army, had a sad face, and the deputy marshal next to him hugged his fists and said: "Marshal, Gao Feihu has beheaded five generals of our army in a row, and our army's heart is floating, it is better to let the last general go out to fight to determine the heart of the army!" ”
Qin Han sighed: "Gao Feihu is the first fierce general of the Yan Kingdom, as a deputy commander, you have a great responsibility, how dare I let you fight, in case there is a mistake that shakes the heart of our army, then it is really not far from a rout!" ”
At this time, a white-armored young general behind Qin Han hugged his fists and said, "Dashuai, why don't you let me meet that Gao Feihu for a while!" "This young general is only sixteen or seventeen years old, handsome, like a leopard ape, extremely vigorous, he holds a sharp and strange steel gun, looking eager to try.
Qin Han said in a deep voice: "Qin Yun, you are not weak at a young age, you are inexperienced in the battle formation, once you lose, it is small to destroy your own life, but as the son of this commander, it is great to disturb the morale of the army!" ”
Qin Yun's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and said with an angry smile: "No one in the Yan army knows me at all, in their eyes, I am just a nameless young general!" Therefore, I will fight, it is not a pity to die in battle, and once I win, I will be able to strengthen my military might! With that, he kicked his horse and rushed straight out of the formation.
When Gao Feihu saw Qin Yun, he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Is there no one in the Liang army, and you actually let Huangkou Xiao'er come out to fight?" Quickly retreat, Gao never kills an unknown general! ”
Qin Yun sneered: "I am Qin Yun, a small lieutenant in the Liang army, although he is the last general, but General Gao must not be rampant, I don't know that since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers, and today I will become famous!" ”
Gao Feihu laughed wildly: "What a big breath! Gao Mou, let's see if you are famous or a ghost today, let the horse come! ”
Qin Yun kicked the war horse fiercely, and the man and gun were like one, like a sharp arrow rushing straight towards the Gao Feihu. Gao Feihu's eyes were full of light, and the halberd in his hand was shining with cold light, as if it had the ability to devour the sky and the earth. Suddenly, he shouted violently, and the halberd immediately blocked the tip of Qin Yun's spear with the halberd blade. The weapons fought, and the two of them were shocked at the same time, and they were secretly frightened, so far the two of them understood in their hearts that today was a chess opponent.
In this battle, Qin Yun and Gao Feihu fought for a total of more than 200 battles, until they were exhausted and could not distinguish the winner, and the two sides could only stop each other in the end and ordered the two armies to attack. And before that, no one had ever been able to survive thirty moves under Gao Feihu, either beheaded or captured. This battle was Qin Yun's battle of fame, and it also made the prestige of Major General Qin resounding in Yanliang from then on.
In the second act, in the twelfth year of the Tiansheng of the Liang Kingdom, the Emperor of the Yan State, Murong Wang, led 400,000 soldiers to Taiyuan again, vowing to take this bridgehead that he intended to annex the Central Plains. There are a total of 100,000 soldiers in Taiyuan City, although there is the advantage of the city wall, but it is one enemy and four, and it has been besieged by the Yan army for more than three months, and some ammunition and food have been exhausted.
One day, Gao Feihu came to the city wall alone and shouted: "Qin Yun, come out and meet Gao!" ”
Qin Yun poked his head out of the city wall and said with a smile: "General Gao, the enemy is outnumbered, and the commander has an order, and our army is not allowed to take the initiative to attack, so it is difficult to obey your fate!" If you're itchy, I can put a hanging basket for you to come up, and I'll have a fight with you, and then I'll let you go. ”
Gao Feihu laughed: "I'm not here today to fight, but for other purposes!" Our Emperor Dayan cherishes your bravery and does not want to kill you, so he sent me to surrender, if you are willing to agree, he will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future! ”
Qin Yun also laughed: "Haha, glory and wealth!" Can't I give me glory and wealth? I was personally named General Weiyuan by His Majesty the Emperor of Great Liang, who wants to go to the poor and remote land of your Yan Kingdom? ”
Gao Feihu was not angry, but said with a straight face: "Qin Yun, you and I have fought several times in the past two years, and it is difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior, and I am also a hero and a hero, so I took the initiative to ask our Majesty to come and recruit you!" If not, you will not be besieged by our army for three months without seeing reinforcements, I also know that your food is almost exhausted, and it is difficult to continue to maintain it, and then as long as our Majesty points at the sword, you and Taiyuan City will be burned! I can't bear it, you're still young, and you still have a lot to do, so why do you have to catch yourself up to a dead end? You must know that it is rare for a husband to not be afraid of death, but he is even more worthy of knowing current affairs! ”
Qin Yun's expression moved slightly, but he still smiled: "Thank you General Gao for looking up to the kid, but it's too shameful to surrender for the general, I think General Gao wouldn't do this if he was in a different situation with me, right?" Therefore, General Gao still don't bother to talk too much, please go back and tell the Emperor of Yan that if you want to take Taiyuan City, it is better to lead the troops directly to take it! ”
Gao Feihu sighed softly, and finally smiled: "So, I understand!" But Qin Yun, I appreciate you kid, if the two countries can reconcile with Japan, I don't mind marrying my fourteen-year-old daughter to you! ”
Who knew that Qin Yun immediately changed color: "General Gao, this is free!" Although I also admire your personality, but I really don't dare to compliment your appearance, as the saying goes, women follow their fathers, your daughter is only afraid of being five big and three thick, I really can't be interested, I like the delicate and beautiful girl! ”
Gao Feihu was angry all of a sudden: "Get out!" Although my Gao Feihu is not good-looking, it does not prevent my wives and concubines from being as beautiful as flowers, and the daughters born are also charming, you dare to dislike them! ”
Qin Yun arched his hand: "Since you look good, you should keep it for yourself, and he will marry the prince of Yan Kingdom as a princess one day!" ”
"You wait, he has a chance one day, I will let you see my daughter, you will regret it! Leave! ”
"Hehe, don't send it!"
That was also the last time Qin Yun and Gao Feihu met, and a few days later, due to Yan's old enemy in the north, Gao Feihu was sent back to Yanjing by Murong Wang to lead troops to take precautions. And it was precisely because of the departure of Gao Feihu and the arrogance of the Yan army that Qin Yun could take advantage of the opportunity, he offered advice to Qin Han, let Qin Han lead the main force to confront the Yan army, and he led 5,000 iron cavalry to raid the rear camp of the Yan army, which put Murong Wang in danger, thus causing hundreds of thousands of Yan troops to turn back and rescue the car, and Qin Han sent the army to take advantage of the chaos to kill, and this battle was enough to kill more than 100,000 Yan troops. Yan Guo was also greatly injured by this, and Murong Wang burst into tears on the spot, making him unable to invade Liang State in his lifetime.
"Hey, Young Master Xiao, what are you doing in a daze?" Gao Wuji stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Xiao Ruixue's eyes, Xiao Ruixue came back to her senses, and the past scenes were like clouds of smoke, and there was nothing to trace.
Xiao Ruixue couldn't help but glance at Gao Wuji again, and said in her heart: "It turns out that he is the son of Gao Feihu, no wonder he is a little familiar, this figure is also inherited from his father, but his appearance is much better, is it because Gao Feihu's wives and concubines are as beautiful as flowers?" Xiao Ruixue suddenly became interested in Gao Wuji, and said with a smile: "Gao Wuji, can I go to your house to have a look?" ”
Gao Wuji was stunned and said, "What are you going to do at my house?" ”
"I think you're very filial, and I want to visit your mother! Give a happy word, okay? ”
"Okay, yes, but you went here abruptly, and when you see my mother, how should I explain it?"
"You just say I'm your good friend!" Xiao Ruixue smiled, "Oh, by the way, then don't call me Young Master Xiao, my name is Xiao Yun, you can call me Brother Yun!" ”
