Chapter 11: Ransom Delivery

Gongsun Yan held the horizontal knife in his arms, looked at Gu Du with affection on his face, and said, "Thank you, Master." ”

Gu Du didn't respond, but looked at Feng Jiu and asked, "Did anyone run?" ”

Feng Jiu shook his head, and Gu Du said, "Go back to the village." ”

Back in the village, Chang Yun asked people to pile all the swords and armor together, and Gu Du said: "Divide it, there will be it in the future." ”

"The great boss is mighty! Thank you, Master! Everyone was excited, because originally only the people brought by Chang Yun had knives and armor, and the rest of the people were all using firewood knives or axes.

After dividing the swords and armor, Gu Du said: "Sooner or later, the official army will still come to encircle and suppress, which of you will make bows and arrows?" ”

No one answered, Gu Du said to Feng Jiu: "You have to have a bow and arrows, otherwise it will be difficult to fight." ”

Feng Jiu replied: "I'll find a way, but I'm afraid it's too late." ”

Gu Du said: "As long as the surname Meng is still in our hands, it will definitely be in time." ”

Feng Jiu nodded and said, "Then the disciple will do it." ”

"Wait a minute." Gu Du beckoned his hand and said, "Come here." ”

Feng Jiu lowered his head, Gu Du whispered a few words in his ear, Feng Jiu nodded and responded: "Disciple understands, let's do it." ”

Feng Jiu left, and Gu Du beckoned: "Brothers, in a few days, the officials and soldiers will send us silver, take your axes and firewood knives, and we have to repair the façade." ”

"Good!" Everyone agreed in unison, all of them were elated, only Yu He dropped a face.

Gu Du asked Gongsun Yan: "Do you know how to do needlework?" ”

Gongsun Yan replied, "Yes." ”

Gu Du said: "I'll draw a picture when I turn around, and you make a big flag." ”

Zhang Hao returned to Lingzhen County, asked Guo Youfu to call, and said with a cold face: "The thieves are overwhelming, and Lord Meng is in their hands, I don't dare to attack, I still wronged Master Guo to prepare a ransom, first redeem Lord Meng, and then clear out this gang of thieves." ”

Guo Youfu bowed down and agreed: "The grass people will do their best, but the amount is huge, and I ask the general to allow some time." ”

Guo Youfu has no choice, the person was lost in his village, the official army has also been there, and there is no way to save it, although 100,000 taels is not a small amount, but fortunately, he doesn't have to pay it himself, anyway, this money is going to come out, Lord Meng is here to ask for money on this trip, but it's just a different way.

Zhang Hao said: "Master Guo as soon as possible." ”

In the cottage, Gongsun Yan took the rattan and entered the room where Lord Meng was detained, and Lord Meng said with a crying voice: "Girl, I just screwed you, you have beaten me for two days, any revenge should be avenged, you spare me." ”

Gongsun Yan said hatefully: "My life is good, I was saved by my master, you have been an official for many years, how many women have you suffered?" ”

After speaking, he picked up the rattan and pumped it on Lord Meng, so that Lord Meng shouted silently.

Feng Jiu went to Bai Cong's house, Gu Du explained three things, the first thing was to find a craftsman to make crossbows and arrows, mountain bandits are not soldiers, and they have no time to train, although the crossbow is slow, anyone who holds it can shoot accurately.

The second thing is to hide silver, 100,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, 100 large boxes, must not be left in the cottage, on the one hand, afraid of thieves, on the other hand, the officials and soldiers will definitely encircle and suppress, if you want to run, the silver can not be taken away.

The third thing is to borrow people, counting Gu Du and others in the cottage, there are a total of forty-one people, if the garrison comes to encircle and suppress, it will definitely not be able to hold it, so you have to borrow people from Bai Cong, and it is best to recruit some.

Three days later, Zhang Hao led his soldiers, drove more than a dozen carriages, pulled a hundred large boxes of silver to the foot of Tiger Roaring Mountain, and sent people up the mountain to spread the word.

The sentry bandits led the officers and soldiers back to the cottage, which Gu Du explained, but only went to the gate of the cottage and did not let the officers and soldiers enter the door, and the sentry bandits went in to report.

After a while, he came out and said to the officers and soldiers: "Our great master has said, let you bring up the silver and put it at the door." ”

The officers and soldiers went down the mountain and told Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao was so angry that his face turned blue, but there was no way, he had learned Gu Du's skills, not to mention that Master Meng was still in the cottage, but it was okay, carry the silver up, at least know where the cottage was, and there would be no need to search the mountain next time.

One hundred boxes of silver were moved to the door of the cottage in three trips, during which Zhang Hao stood at the door and looked at the cottage.

There are coarse wooden thorns on the gate of the wall, one foot long, and the front end is hardened with fire. On both sides of the door there were deer barricades, one man high. There are turrets on both sides of the gate, and although there are no bed crossbows, there are mountain bandits with crossbows and armor. There is a pheasant moat above the gate, which connects the two arrow towers.

This is not an ordinary mountain bandit camp, this is a military camp, easy to defend and difficult to attack!

Zhang Hao understood Gu Du's intention to let him carry the silver up the mountain, first, not to give him a chance to estimate how many people were in the village. Second, let him see the defense of the camp with his own eyes, and don't think that he can lead troops to clear it casually.

Zhang Hao looked at Gu Du in the door and said, "Big boss, the silver has been moved, let my family come out?" ”

Gu Du raised his hand and beckoned, and the two mountain bandits pushed Lord Meng over, and Lord Meng shouted: "Save me, save me!" ”

Gongsun Yan picked up the rattan and gave it to Lord Meng, which made Lord Meng cry and scream.

Zhang Hao frowned slightly and said, "Big boss, is this too much?" ”

Gu Du said: "She is the girl that Guo Youfu dedicated to Master Meng, do you think it is too much?" ”

Zhang Hao said embarrassedly: "Let people go." ”

Gu Du said: "You misunderstood, I just let you see that Master Meng is neither dead, nor missing arms or legs." ”

Zhang Hao glared and asked, "You don't talk about credit!" ”

Gu Du said: "It's you, do you want to hide the silver first?" A hundred boxes of silver, you have to move it for two days, right? I'll let Master Meng go now, and you'll turn your face and come to attack the village, and then grab the silver back? ”

Zhang Hao also had nothing to say, so he could only ask: "When will you be released?" ”

Gu Du replied, "Five days later, at noon, you will come to collect people." ”

Master Meng shouted, "No! Get me out! This little beats me every day! ”

Gongsun Yan picked up the rattan and slapped it in the face of Lord Meng, who screamed miserably, bleeding from his mouth and nose, but Gongsun Yan did not stop, and pumped it in his face one after another.

Zhang Hao shouted: "Stop! ”

Gongsun Yan suddenly turned around and glared at Zhang Hao, and scolded: "When this dog official bullied the people's daughter, did you let him stop?" ”

A sentence choked Zhang Hao, and Gongsun Yan reprimanded again: "You are stubborn and stubborn, and you don't go to protect the territory and the people, but you help the dog officials bully the people!" You eat the people's food and spend the people's money, but you will only show off your power in front of the people, you are a group of pigs and dogs! ”

All the officers and soldiers were scolded and looked embarrassed, Gu Du looked at Zhang Hao and said, "Let's go, why bother to humiliate yourself here?" ”

Zhang Hao looked at Gu Du and asked, "Five days?" ”

Gu Du nodded, Zhang Hao turned around and left, and all the officers and soldiers followed him away.
