Chapter 98: Nothing is enough, and there is more than failure
Peach choked up, her little face turned red from crying, she was afraid of being kicked to death by Ba Rong, so she had to hold back her tears and didn't dare to cry again.
Baron was so drunk that he staggered when he walked, and he was dazzled with drunkenness. With a "plop", Bayon fell to the ground and snored.
Ba Rong fell drunk and fell asleep on the ground, at this time the door was open, it was a good opportunity to escape, Peach raised her leg and kicked the feet of the girl next to her, and the girls who were sobbing instantly understood what Peach meant, they could take the opportunity to escape!
It's just that their hands and feet are tied with thick ropes, which are tied firmly, and they can't find a sharp weapon to cut the rope for a while.
Just as the girls were worrying about how to break the rope, the two people who came from a distance made them fall into despair.
Gao Zhuo strode into the room, looking at the open door and Ba Rong who fell to the ground and was full of alcohol, he frowned, his eyes were angry and arrogant, and he yelled at Ba Rong: "Get up for Lao Tzu!" ”
Gao Zhuo kicked the sleeping Ba Rong hard, but the people on the ground not only did not get up, but snored even louder.
"Fuck it!" Gao Zhuo was so angry that there was green smoke above his head, and he fetched a bucket of water from the well outside the door, lifted the bucket and poured it on Ba Rong.
"Purr—purr—" Baron lay on the ground like a dead fish, snoring incessantly.
"Rubbish!" Gao Zhuo kicked him again before he would stop.
Gao Zhuo put down the bucket, swept the house with fierce eyes, and found that there was a girl missing.
Thinking of this, Gao Zhuo kicked Bayon again, but Bayon's snoring was still deafening, and he lay motionless on the ground like a dead pig.
Gao Heng walked into the house, leaned into Gao Zhuo's ear and said, "Master Zhuo, there is a woman in the haystack outside the door, she should have been thrown out, as if she was dead." ”
Gao Zhuo walked to the door and glanced casually at the grass pile on the side, the woman's beautiful eyes were closed, her face was pale, as if she had lost her breath.
Gao Zhuo was full of murderous anger, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but kick Ba Rong a few more times, kicking and scolding: "This waste is not enough to achieve and more than to lose!" The woman that Lao Tzu worked so hard to catch was actually killed by him! Fuck it! Angry Lao Tzu also! ”
Gao Zhuo slammed the door shut, and the moment he closed the door, the girls in the room couldn't help crying again, and even the emperor Lao Tzu couldn't save them.
Gao Heng had a sad face and said, "Master Zhuo, there are a large number of guards on the beach, I'm afraid they are here to guard us, and I'm afraid we will have to keep these girls for this period of time." ”
Gao Zhuo was angry in his heart, and he was very impatient to speak: "Delivery in half a month, now one is dead, there are still four left, all blame Ba Rong for this waste, if it weren't for him, let's catch three more enough!" ”
"Zhuo Ye, that ...... Where are we going to find the girl now? Gao Heng asked cautiously, for fear that he would anger Gao Zhuo by saying the wrong thing.
Gao Zhuo's inverted eyebrows were twisted into knots, and he thought for a moment before saying: "We are now close to Beiyang City, you take someone to catch the girl in the remote village of Beiyang City, I will go back to Baihua City, there are gamblers in my field every day who owe debts and can't pay back the silver, and they will definitely have someone to use their sisters and daughters to pay off the debt." ”
Gao Heng hesitated for a while, feeling that Gao Zhuo's idea was inappropriate, so he stubbornly said: "But Master Zhuo, now that Beiyang City is full of officers and soldiers, let's blatantly arrest the girl, will we startle the snake?" ”
Gao Zhuo's cloudy eyes looked at him obliquely, his eyes were full of anger and disgust, and he said angrily: "Stupid! Didn't you say you were looking for it in a remote village? Does Fugui Village know? Where birds don't, I don't believe that there will be officers and soldiers who will guard it day and night! ”
Gao Zhuo spat and was furious. Gao Heng wrinkled his face and wiped the saliva on his face aggrievedly, and nodded cowardly, "Know...... Got it......"

Night, Beiyang City
Dongfang Ai and Lime applied a little powder, and the two changed into a bright Luo shirt skirt and walked aimlessly in the empty alley.
In the evening, Shangguan Yutang and his party came to Xuanwumen to find her, hoping that she could dress up and walk around the streets of Beiyang City, and use her as bait to lure out the group of bandits.
In order to catch the robbers who kidnapped the girl, Dongfang Ai did not hesitate to agree to Shangguan Yutang's request.
Li Shenlong recommended himself to stay and protect Dongfang Ai, so Dongfang Yu and Li Shenlong were hiding in the shadows to protect the two of them.
Dongfang Ai sat on the shore of Yingyue Lake, she looked around, and there were guards walking through the originally dark alleys from time to time. Dongfang Ai thought to himself, that group of bandits should not be stupid enough to blatantly run out and rob the girl, they are undoubtedly waiting for the rabbit here.
Lime asked softly, "County Lord, Beiyang City has been heavily guarded, do you think those people will still come?" ”
Dongfang Ai shook his head, "I want to ...... They may change places......"
Thinking of this, Dongfang Ai stood up and walked towards the alley on the side of the road. Dongfang Yu had been standing in the alley to protect them, and when he saw Dongfang Ai coming, he asked, "Xiao Ai, what's wrong?" ”
Dongfang Ai: "Brother, there are guards everywhere on this street, I don't think they should take the girl under the nose of these guards." ”
"What do you mean......" Before he finished speaking, Dongfang Yu suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing beside him.
The next moment, Li Shenlong flew down from the big tree next to the alley, landed beside Dongfang Yu, and explained: "Dongfang Ai means that those bandits will no longer come to the street guarded by guards, and may look for targets in remote towns or villages on the outskirts of Beiyang City. ”
Without Li Shenlong's reminder, Dongfang Yu naturally thought of this, but Li Shenlong took the first step to say what he wanted to say.
Dongfang Yu's expression was gloomy, in the face of Li Shenlong's face, he couldn't put on a good face no matter what, and even his tone was a little more impatient: "There are many guards patrolling the streets and alleys in Beiyang City, but there are only a few villages in Fugui Town on the outskirts of the city, there are not many people in the village, and there are very few guards sent. ”
Li Shenlong snapped his fingers and said briskly: "Let's go, go to Fugui Town!" ”
"Hmm!" Dongfang Ai replied and consciously followed behind Li Shenlong.
Looking at the two of them walking side by side, this scene was particularly dazzling in Dongfang Yu's eyes, as for why he was disgusted with Li Shenlong, I'm afraid only he knew.

Hundred Flowers City, Fuyuan Gambling House
The gambling house was full of gamblers' voices, Dugu Shaobai, Huangfu Hongyi, Shangguan Yutang and Lu Lingxue stood next to the teahouse opposite the gambling house, the four of them had been waiting here for an hour, and they didn't see Gao Zhuo, and they didn't know if he would come tonight.
Lu Lingxue said: "Gao Zhuo is suspicious by nature, he is not a timid person, you can't arrest him directly later, you must disguise yourself and sneak into the gambling house, I'm afraid that only by following him can you find the whereabouts of those girls." ”
Dugu Shaobai nodded and said, "Okay, Ling Xue, you and Hongyi are waiting outside the gambling house, and Yu Tang and I will go in and lure Gao Zhuo out." ”
After a stick of incense, Dugu Shaobai changed into a coarse gray coat and had a mustache on his face. Shangguan Yutang had fought with Gao Zhuo in Beiyang City before, for fear that Gao Zhuo would recognize her, so she specially dressed up plainly tonight, and even the clothes she wore were shabby cloth clothes with several patches sewn, which was diametrically opposed to the outfit that night.
Shangguan Yutang hung his head and followed behind Dugu Shaobai, Dugu Shaobai walked into the gambling house, and casually walked to a gambling table and followed everyone to bet on silver.
Shangguan Yutang raised his eyes slightly and looked around, there were many people in the gambling house, and no trace of Gao Zhuo was found.
Half an hour later, Dugu Shaobai had deliberately lost five hundred taels of silver, he borrowed three hundred taels from the gambling house, the loan period was one day, and when he repaid the money the next day, in addition to the principal, he also had to pay an extra thirty taels of silver to the gambling house as interest, and if it was delayed for one day, the interest would be doubled.
At this time, Gao Zhuo walked in from outside the door, he was naturally fierce and terrifying, and the gamblers around him immediately retreated a few steps to keep a distance from him when they saw him.
Shangguan Yutang noticed the movement in front of the door, she raised her eyes and met a pair of very familiar fierce eyes, just as Lu Lingxue said, Gao Zhuo has a fierce appearance, especially his pair of inverted eight-character eyebrows, which makes people remember his appearance.
Shangguan Yutang approached Dugu Shaobai and said softly, "Big brother, here." ”
Dugu Shaobai looked over and found Gao Zhuo standing in the stairwell whispering to the gambling house guy.
Dugu Shaobai saw the opportunity, he put one hand under the table, and with one hand, the entire table was overturned in an instant, and all the silver and dice on the table fell to the ground, making a "ping-pong" sound.
"Hey, why are you like this?" The gambler opposite Dugu Shaobai looked at him with an unhappy face, thinking that he had lost the silver, so he took the table to be angry.
"That's right, I lost the silver by my bad luck, and I turned the table up." Another gambler couldn't help but complain, thinking, he lost the silver and didn't let others gamble?
Dugu Shaobai changed his gentle and elegant image in the past, he snorted coldly, and said menacingly: "You black gambling house, the interest is so high, I want to sue the official!" ”
As soon as these words came out, several small guys rolled up their sleeves and came around, and the leading man pointed to the tip of Dugu Shaobai's nose and scolded: "Where did you come from, stinky boy, dare to make trouble in our Zhuo Ye's field?" You don't want to die?! ”
Dugu Shaobai looked at this little guy without fear, "What do you do, you are usury!" I'm going to the government to sue you! ”
"Phew!" The little guy spat on the ground fiercely and said loudly, "Who asked you to borrow money?!" If you borrow money, you have to pay it back with interest! ”
The little guy stopped talking nonsense, and directly raised his fist to beat Dugu Shaobai, Shangguan Yutang struggled to squeeze out two tears in front of Dugu Shaobai, she frowned and cried: "Please, don't beat my brother!" ”
The little guy didn't pity the jade, he roughly grabbed Shangguan Yutang's slender arm and pushed her aside.
"Where's the stinky girl, get out of here! Who does Lao Tzu want to teach a lesson, and it is your turn to protect you?! Don't look at whose territory it is! ”
"Woo woo woo...... Shangguan Yutang sobbed aggrievedly, crying so much that I felt sorry for the pear blossoms and the rain.
