Chapter 20: Gao Yi and Hong Feng
"Assign some of the men to me to take down all the thieves, and as for the rest, go and put out the fires in the city and save the wounded!" a majestic voice came. A man wearing silver-white armor, thin eyes and slight beards, extraordinary instruments, and a very white face said coldly. And it was he who kicked over Hong Feng just now.
"Yes!" a large group of well-dressed soldiers rushed forward and knocked Hong Feng and the remaining Panlong Mountain thieves to the ground. The rest of the soldiers rushed around the city. Thanks to the efforts of this well-trained group of soldiers, the fire in Jiayuan County was quickly extinguished.
After a moment of incense, a very ordinary-looking young man who was also dressed in cyan armor came to General Gao's side and said respectfully, "Report to General Gao, the casualties have been counted! In Jiayuan County, in the turmoil of this thief attack on the city, including the county commander Li Fang, the number of dead was as high as 475, and as for the wounded, the destroyed houses were countless!"
"So many?" General Gao (that is, the man in silver-white armor with a white face) gasped, "Hong Feng, you are so cruel!"
"General, you want to avenge my grandfather!" the weak, beautiful girl rushed up crying.
"General, please avenge me!" The surviving people of Jiayuan County also knelt down in front of General Gao.
"Everyone, get up, everyone, it's going to break me!" General Gao panicked, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help everyone who was kneeling on the ground.
"General, if you don't avenge us, we won't rise!" the crowd shouted.
"Thisβ" General Gao visibly hesitated. Although the gang of thieves in Panlong Mountain are innocent, they are only a military general after all. It is my duty to arrest the thieves and keep the people safe. But how to deal with these thieves, he doesn't have this power at all, so he has to hand it over to the Yamen and let them be punished after the court trial.
"General, please be the master of the people and kill these beasts!" The atrocities of the bandits in Panlong Mountain were so brutal that even those ordinary soldiers couldn't stand it, and they fell to their knees one after another.
"General Gao, the will of the people cannot be violated! The thieves of Panlong Mountain are guilty of heinous crimes, and not killing them is not enough to anger the people!" The plain-looking man in blue and purple armor also looked indignant.
"You... And you... And you Deputy General Ding..."General Gao looked at everyone who knelt on the ground, and all of them showed expectant looks in their eyes. General Gao clearly knew how much damage he would cause to the hearts of these people if he refused their request.
After pondering for a long time, General Gao finally gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, "That's it, that's it! The thieves in Panlong Mountain have done a lot of evil deeds, and they really can't be punished, and this general will ask for the people's lives today, and he would rather take the crime of transgression! Come on, behead all these thieves on the spot, and avenge those who died!"
"Thank you, General!" said everyone. This gang of villains full of evil has finally gotten the end they deserve.
"As for the leading guy, because the stakes are high. General Ben must bring him back and let the hair fall from above!" General Gao slowly paced to Hong Feng's side, stared into his eyes, and said slowly. In this regard, Hong Feng also sneered.
With the help of these elite soldiers, this group of thieves in Panlong Mountain was beheaded one after another and got the end they deserved. But what is even more terrifying is that due to the presence of angry civilians in Jiayuan County, the bodies of these dead guys were also beaten. This is exactly what is said to be true, good and evil will be rewarded in the end.
Due to the death of Li Fang, the county magistrate of Jiayuan County, this small county town became chaotic. After eliminating the thieves in Panlong Mountain, General Gao and his men and horses had to be temporarily stationed in Jiayuan County to maintain order here. And Xiao Chen, who fought with the bandits of Panlong Mountain on his own, and finally succeeded in supporting the arrival of reinforcements, became a hero in the eyes of the people of Jiayuan County, and naturally he also attracted the attention of General Gao.
"Vice Admiral Ding, please be responsible for entertaining this little hero!"
"Yes!"
The people of Jiayuan County are finally starting to disperse slowly, either burying their loved ones or cleaning up their already broken homes. Jiayuan County, tonight, is destined to be a painful sleepless night. "Benefactor, your great kindness, the little woman Liu Lan is unforgettable, and she will definitely repay her in the future!" The girl who was rescued by Xiao Chen bowed, she still had important things to do, and on the cold ground, her grandfather was still waiting for her motionlessly.
"Oh!" Xiao Chen, who had not yet recovered from his shock, nodded indifferently.
The county yali of Jiayuan City is brightly lit. And General Gao, who was wearing silver-white armor, looked at Hong Feng, the only surviving thief in Panlong Mountain, expressionlessly, without saying a word. If Xiao Chen was still around, he might have noticed that between General Gao's eyebrows, strange stones were slowly protruding at this time, but the color was silvery-white.
When the white stone emitted a brilliant light outward, an invisible terrifying pressure went straight towards the flood peak. Suddenly, Hong Feng's face turned pale, and his legs seemed a little unsupportable.
"The surname is Gao, relying on your strength to be higher than me, you actually crush me with momentum as soon as you meet. Let me ask you, what do you really want to do?" or Hong Feng was the first to break the silence.
"Hong Feng, you are so bold, you actually dare to come to Jiayuan City to burn and plunder, causing heavy casualties to the soldiers and civilians of Jiayuan County, you are simply mad and heinous. What else do you have to quibble?" At this time, General Gao's face was filled with righteous indignation.
"Gao Yi, I want to drink tea!" In the face of the other party's anger, Hong Feng seemed very calm.
"What are you talking about? I am an official and soldier who protects the safety of the people, and you are a thief who has done evil everywhere and everyone has been punished, how dare you talk to me like this?" Gao Yi, who was extremely angry, approached Hong Feng's face. As a thief, you are too arrogant.
"Gao Yi, untie me!" Hong Feng was expressionless.
"Presumptuous!"
"Untie me!"
"Don't you want to live anymore?"
"Gao Yi, I'll say it again, untie me!"
"Hong Feng, I'll kill you!" Gao Yi, who couldn't bear it anymore, slashed at Hong Feng with a palm. But even at this life-and-death moment, Hong Feng did not show a little fear, he still sneered.
However, Gao Yi's raised arm was about to slash at Hong Feng's head, but it suddenly slipped to the side. There was a 'stab' sound, and the rope that bound Hong Feng was broken.
"Gao Yi boy, I want to drink tea now!" Hong Feng moved his arm that was a little sore.
"You..." Gao Yi's face was blue and purple for a while, and you can imagine how deep his anger was. But Hong Feng's arrogant actions were not over, and he put his hand on Gao Yi's shoulder with a big grin.
"Lao Gao, don't keep a straight face like this, pour me a cup of tea!" Hong Feng said with a grin, but something even more unexpected happened.
"Brother Hong Feng, don't you have to talk like this earlier? Who is with whom of our brothers?" Gao Yi grinned and took a cup of steaming tea, and served it with both hands. And Hong Feng caught it as he could. If Xiao Chen was there, he would definitely be surprised. And Xiao Chen's mind will definitely have four big words, collusion between officials and bandits. Yes, it's the collusion of officials and bandits!
"Gao Yi, you are so ruthless. Kill all my brothers. Looking at Gao Yi's grinning face, Hong Feng couldn't wait to come to that hateful face for a while. You must know that after tonight's battle, Panlong Mountain is completely finished. But Hong Feng understands even more that this kind of thinking can only be just a thought, and he wants to find Gao Yi, who is an obsidian martial artist, with the strength of his obsidian martial artist, and he is looking for abuse.
"Brother Hong Feng, you also know that in that case, I can't help myself!" Gao Yi smiled dryly, rubbing his hands, "Brother, do you think this will work?
"Hand that thing over, will I still be alive?" Hong Feng sneered. Of course, he knew what Gao Yi was talking about. Although the bandits of Panlong Mountain are fierce and abnormal, there are also beings in this world who can deal with them. For example, in a military camp closest to Panlong Mountain, a group of soldiers led by General Gao were stationed.
But the strange thing is that the thieves of Panlong Mountain have never confronted this group of soldiers. There have also been several times when soldiers have proposed to eliminate harm for the people and eliminate the thieves in Panlong Mountain, but General Gao has shirked it because the time is not yet ripe. But except for General Gao and Hong Feng, no one knew that a consensus had been reached between the two: General Gao prevented his subordinates from making trouble in Panlong Mountain, and in return, Hong Feng gave a large part of the wealth he plundered to General Gao.
But Gao Yi never expected that the damn Hong Feng would secretly record the time, place and number of transactions of the two of them in a small ledger. Of course, this was unintentionally revealed by Hong Feng after he got drunk on a certain occasion. At that time, Gao Yi was furious, and he wanted to kill this kid on the spot. But Hong Feng's words dispelled his thoughts.
"Brother Gao Yi, that thing is not on my body at all, it is placed in one of my most trusted people, I told him, as long as I have an accident, I will present that thing to the state and county Yamen!" Hong Feng said at that time.
"But as long as you, General Gao, always regard Hong Feng as a friend, that ledger is just a pile of waste paper!" Although Gao Yi was extremely angry at that time, he was helpless.
And now, by chance, Hong Feng finally fell into Gao Yi's hands. Gao Yi took this opportunity to propose to let the other party live, hoping that the other party could hand over his handle. But Gao Yi was disappointed again.
"Hand it over, hand it over, will I still have my life?" Hong Feng sneered, "The surname is high, between us, the Ming people don't say dark words, if I were you, after getting the account book, the first thing would be to kill people." Isn't that right?"
"The surname is Hong, you don't want to * me, don't say that you are injured now. Even if you weren't injured, with you being just an obsidian martial artist, you wouldn't be my obsidian martial artist at all!" Gao Yi, who had seen through his thoughts, had a gloomy face, and an invisible murderous aura spread out.
"The surname Gao, don't * me, I told you a long time ago that the ledger is not mine. If you're going to play hard, then everyone is going to do it together!" Hong Feng also had a gloomy face. Hong Feng let him go, he understood that if he didn't hand over the account book, he might be able to save a small life. But once you hand it over, you will definitely die.
Gao Yi and Hong Feng stared at each other intently without saying a word. Invisible electric sparks flickered in the intercourse of the four eyes, and the atmosphere at the scene was extremely solemn, and a big war was about to break out.
But at this moment, Hong Feng and Gao Yi both laughed in unison, "Good brother!"
"Good brother!" the two hugged each other tightly again.
"As soon as you have the chance, kill this bastard!" is the same idea of the two of them.
"Brother Gao Yi, then I'll take my leave!" Hong Feng gritted his teeth.
"Brother Hong Feng, I finally saved your life. Don't you have anything to say?" Gao Yi still did not give up the hand he was holding tightly.
"It means that I am sorry. The lives of so many of my brothers are not enough?" Hong Feng looked at Gao Yi's eyes full of anger, "Also, it's been so long since I've been fighting that dog official from Li Fang in Panlong Mountain. Your military camp is not far from here, and with the ability of your senior soldier, it should have appeared a long time ago. But why are you late when most of the people in Jiayuan County are dead?"
"This"
"Don't quibble anymore, Gao Yi, I don't know that little bit of your thoughts? After Li Fang's death, when the people in Jiayuan County were almost desperate, your Gao General Soldier appeared unhurriedly, not only did not let your losses be minimized, but also made your reputation reach the peak, and moreover, taking over Jiayuan County, which was unmanaged, became a smooth thing. Although Jiayuan County is a small county seat, it is barely rich in things and rich in people. General Gao, good calculation. β
"Hong Feng, he is really a smart person, and between smart people, there is no need to beat around the bush. Gao Yi also sneered, "You go, don't let me see you again!"
