Chapter 154: Special Dowry (II)
The guards who played in Baicui Building all night, when they woke up, it was already Chen Shi (between 7-9), and when they saw that there was no movement in the wing room where General Niu was, the guards thought that Niu Yongnian might have been too tired to get up last night, so they waited outside the wing room for a while, and after half an hour, there was still no movement in the wing, and General Niu had already woken up at this time
It's all to the barracks, but today there is no movement in the wing, so the guard walked to the door and knocked lightly a few times, "Oh" General-General, it's almost time, but there is still no movement in the wing, so the guard knocked on the door a few more times, "Oh" General-General, at this time, the dusty woman in the wing room heard the sound, and got up from the bed in a daze
She grabbed a coat and wrapped herself, then walked to the door and opened it, and as soon as the door opened, the guard looked into the room: "My general."
The dusty woman glanced back and saw that Niu Yongnian's clothes were still hanging there: he went to the thatched house
Guard: No way, we've been outside for more than half an hour, and we won't be back for so long
After speaking, the guards pushed the wind and dust women away and broke into the wing room together, when the guard chief saw that Niu Yongnian's clothes were still hanging on the hanger, his first reaction was that Niu Yongnian might be in the other wind and dust women's room, and he was not lustful for men, and this was still a green building, so the head of the guard took his brothers and carefully searched Baicui Building and found Niu Yongnian
The chief of the guard realized that something bad was wrong, and hurriedly took his brothers back to the barracks, and led the troops all over the city to search for Niu Yongnian's lower road, but at this time, more than 2 hours had passed since Li Yang and his party left Shaoxing City, and the carriage could go about 20 kilometers in an hour, and it would take more than 80 kilometers to go out in four hours, and it would be about 130 kilometers from Shaoxing Mansion to Ningbo Mansion
When leaving Shaoxing City, Li Yang still left a hand, he asked Tie Gui'er to take a brother, drive the dung cart to the north to Hangzhou Mansion, throw a dung bucket every other distance along the way, find a remote place to throw away the carriage when he is about to arrive in Hangzhou, and go south along the official to Hangzhou, from Long Lingguan to Yufeng City, and finally meet at the post station leading to Manjiang Autonomous Region from Yufeng City back to Taizhou Mansion
It is about 80 kilometers from Shaoxing City to Hangzhou Mansion, that is to say, Tie Guier has now arrived in Hangzhou Mansion, and the road horses that have been driven for two hours in a row should also take a rest, so Li Yang and his party took a break by the mountain road in the area of Shapingling, as long as they are still on the boundary of Shaoxing Mansion, there is no safety at all, in case Niu Yongnian's men are in the right direction, the cavalry will be able to catch up with us in more than an hour at most
Li Yang was afraid that Niu Yongnian would wake up halfway and bring unnecessary trouble, so he lit a piece of incense in the carriage in which he was imprisoned, and from the map, he walked south from Shapingling, bypassed Caomen Mountain, and walked west along the official road to the area of Dagang Mountain, which is the boundary of Ningbo Mansion
This morning Niu Yongnian's men under those people, the entire Shaoxing City turned over and did not find a trace of Niu Yongnian, because the defenders searched the city, the disappearance of Niu Yongnian was known all over the city, this matter soon reached the ears of the Shaoxing prefect, the Shaoxing prefect let the general judge to thoroughly investigate Niu Yongnian's disappearance, and at the same time let the Shaoxing army set up cards along the road to the outside world, carefully check all the vehicles leaving Shaoxing Mansion
No one expected that the matter would be so serious, when Shaoxing Tong went to Baicui Building to look for clues, the guy who ran the hall had already cleaned up the room where Niu Yongnian went, and as for the pot of wine with Meng Khan, it was also drunk by a greedy guy, and when the medicine came up, the guy fell asleep in his room, and the guys didn't think much about it and thought that he had drunk too much, which helped Li Yang a lot
A few days ago, Niu Yongnian also fought with the son of the Tongcui family, and fought with a woman in Baicuilou for fighting for a dusty woman, and the son of the Tongju family must not be able to take advantage of anything, if it weren't for the Shaoxing prefect who spoke, he didn't want to care about this matter at all, and went to Baicuilou to investigate that is, to go through a formality, whether the matter is investigated clearly in three days or ten days, and to what extent the investigation is carried out, it depends on the mood of the judge
The ladies and men in Baicui Building, one by one, were asked by the officials and did not find any valuable clues, after all, this Baicui Building is a place of fireworks, and there are less than one or two hundred people who come here every day to have fun - more than three hundred people, like Li Yang and their group occasionally come to play once or twice or there are too many outsiders, who are idle and have nothing to remember the guests one by one so clearly
When he left Baicui Building, the general judge also joked with Niu Yongnian's guards, "Your general Niu likes to be merry and happy, that's a well-known thing, with his kung fu, if someone wants to beat him, it is impossible to have no movement at all, maybe hide in a good house, don't worry about looking for it, if you can't find it in the city, go outside the city to find it, and maybe you will find it if you find a few more places."
An hour after Li Yang and his entourage left Shaoxing Mansion, the Shaoxing Army began to set up a checkpoint on the road leading to the outside to check the vehicles and suspicious people who were about to leave Shaoxing Mansion, and Li Yang and his entourage did not relax their vigilance after arriving in Ningbo Mansion, but accelerated the speed of their journey, as far as the current situation is concerned, the faster and farther they went, the safer it was, for fear of exposing their whereabouts, and the group never stayed in the town and in the villages along the way
That night, a group of people came, such a person in the horizontal center of Ningbo Mansion, there were several dilapidated houses and an abandoned temple on the roadside, Kang Ze took people to see that there was no one inside, and there was no one in the temple tonight, so Kang Ze took a few brothers to simply clean up the temple
And Zeno took people to settle the carriage, and then fed the horses some forage, the shaking of the carriage made Niu Yongnian wake up from a coma, the first thing the old boy woke up was to jump out of the car and escape, and took advantage of the night to get into the woods on the side, Zeno saw this and immediately led people to chase after him, Zeno was a young man and hunted in the woods with his father, and sometimes chased prey often for twenty or thirty miles
If you can't hit the prey, you have to be hungry, the harsh living environment makes the barbarian ginger people practice out of the ordinary people to get the foot kung fu, once the brute ginger enters the forest, that with the strength of the bear-the speed of the leopard to describe it in the appropriate, because he didn't eat for a day, Niu Yongnian ran a few distances, he couldn't run, Zeno got close to a flying foot to knock Niu Yongnian down, and a few of them caught up with him was a violent beating
It was too dark when Niu Yongnian was beaten, and he held his head, and he didn't care to see who hit him, and several people hugged him and blindfolded Niu Yongnian with a strip of cloth
Niu Yongnian is worthy of being a soldier, he is still fearless in the face of this situation, and shouted at a few of us: Do you know who I am, even I dare to tie you up, I really don't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has, quickly release me, I can spare your life, otherwise when those brothers under my command find you, none of you will survive
"Pap-pap" Zeno made cattle for a long time, and it was a few big-eared melon seeds: I made your mouth hard - I made your mouth hard
A few big-eared melon seeds were smoked down, Niu Yongnian also quieted down, as the so-called heroes don't suffer immediate losses: presumably a few are friends in the rivers and lakes, and a few people dare to report their names, if Niu has anything to offend you, Niu will come to the door with a generous gift to apologize
Li Yang: It doesn't hurt to tell you, our brothers are heroes in Funiu Mountain, who specialize in robbing the rich and helping the poor
Niu Yongnian: A few heroes are asking for money, right, then it's easy to say, you say a price, as long as I have a fixed hand, I will give it with both hands
Li Yang: Then do you think your life is worth a lot of silver?
Niu Yongnian: I'm willing to pay 5,000-5,000 taels, have we seen the hero anywhere, why is your voice so familiar?
Oh, how did I forget this stubble, I had a few contacts with Niu Yongnian before, in order not to expose myself Li Yang and Kang Ze made a look, Kang Ze squatted down and slapped his hand on Niu Yongnian: Five thousand taels of silver is inevitably too little, how can your life be worth twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver
Niu Yongnian: 20,000 taels is 20,000 taels, and I really don't have more, if I deceive all the heroes, I am willing to thunder and thunder
This move gave Niu Yongnian an illusion, making him feel that he was tied up by a thief, Niu Yongnian is also honest and not as whining scum as he was just now, and everyone who has been on the road for a day is also a little tired, Li Yang asked people to feed Niu Yongnian some dry food and water in the past, and the old boy leaned on the pillar before we finished eating, and Zeno went over and patted him on the face a few times when he saw this
He didn't react at all, but the snoring was even louder, my old boy Cao's heart is quite big, people have to admire that in this case, he can still sleep so peacefully, and his brothers also rested early after dinner, Li Yang saw Niu Yongnian sleeping so dead, he thought it was sweat medicine and incense and didn't think much about it, but our gang all underestimated Niu Yongnian
As soon as we fell asleep, Niu Yongnian's old boy opened his eyes, he first glanced at us with his eyes, and saw that our group was asleep, so he slowly opened his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, he also saw Li Yang's face clearly in the faint light of fire, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, and then took a breath of cool air, this Li Yang's courage is too big, and he actually came to the door
And he kidnapped him on the territory of Shaoxing Mansion, and he also knew that he would definitely not be good at getting into Li Yang's hands, and he was talking to me about the heroes on Funiu Mountain, Ma Laozi I still believe it is true, no, I have to find a chance to find a way to escape from them, and soon Niu Yongnian calmed down from the panic, and waited until the second half of the night There was a sound of horses outside the temple
Niu Yongnian heard the sound of horses barking outside, he felt that the opportunity to escape had come, he first coughed lightly and then turned his body over, seeing that Li Yang and their group were unaware, so he slowly stood up, I don't know what method this old boy used, he actually untied the rope that bound his hands behind his back, he held his breath and slowed down for fear of making any movement, and carefully walked towards the outside of the temple step by step
"Boom"
A violent horse roar woke Li Yang and his party from their sleep, Li Yang saw that there was no trace of Niu Yongnian in the temple, and there was only one rope on the ground, so he shouted: "It's not good, Niu Yongnian, this old boy ran away, hurry up and chase after him, let him run away, we will be in big trouble."
Kang Ze and Ze Nuo immediately chased out, as soon as they saw that Niu Yongnian had just run not far, the two of them rode horses and chased in the direction of Niu Yongnian's escape, at this time Niu Yongnian just got on the road he lost his way, and he didn't even know where he was now, forget it, just find a direction to escape, where Tao is better than fishing in Li Yang's hands, so he ran south along the mountain road
Then Kang Ze and Ze Nuo rode horses to follow closely behind, and a fierce chase was staged, but Niu Yongnian couldn't have imagined that the horses in Alan County were all coded by real people, Kang Ze and Ze Nuo slapped their hands on their mouths a few times after getting closer, and made a burst of "Minions-Minions" The horse Niu Yongnian was riding gradually slowed down, and Kang Ze casually took out a stone and hit Niu Yongnian's head and shot him down from the horse
The two of them went up to Niu Yongnian is violent beating, and then tied his feet with a rope and carried them all the way back to the temple, as soon as he entered the temple, the old boy stood up again, and tried his strength to break free from Kang Ze and Ze Nuo's hands, Kang Ze and Ze Nuo glanced at each other and made him a kick, and the sudden force made Niu Yongnian kneel
Niu Yongnian stared at Li Yang viciously: Li Yang, you are so bold that you dare to tie up the court officials, this is not something that can be done with twenty military sticks, and it is necessary to kill the head if you use private acts against the court officials
Li Yang showed a smile: General Niu, I will tell you the truth, my 20 military sticks were not in vain at the beginning, and the old accounts between us should also be calculated
Niu Yongnian looked frightened: What do you want to do, if I have a three-long and two-short, none of you can think of Shaoxing Mansion
This made Kang Ze and Ze Nuo and the others laugh out loud, "Haha", he didn't know that our group had arrived in Ningbo Mansion now
Li Yang still looked smiling: Actually, it's nothing, I just want to borrow something from you
Niu Yongnian: What do you want to borrow from me?
Li Yang: It's not convenient for me to tell you now, but you'll know when you get there
Niu Yongnian scolded when he heard it, because it was too unpleasant to hear and omitted 500 words here, just when Niu Yongnian was scolding, Kang Ze saw the opportunity to pinch his cheek, "Hurry up and stuff his stinky mouth to Lao Tzu" One of us immediately took off his footcloth, followed by a disgusting foot smell like rotten fish
Zeno: I'll hurry up, this is too TM stinky
The brother raised his hand to cover his nose with a wicked smile, and at the same time stuffed the footcloth into Niu Yongnian's mouth with his other hand, and the noisy temple was instantly quiet, but Niu Yongnian did stare angrily and tried his best to break free, not to mention that this old boy is quite energetic and has to be held down by three or four people together, thanks to me coming out this time and bringing a few more people, otherwise there may not be enough people to keep him
Kang Ze: If the Grand Commander doesn't give him some means, this old boy will have to run
Li Yang: Then what do you do?
Kang Ze: First of all, he abolished his two arms, and he misplaced his two feet, even if his martial arts were high, he had to crawl and walk
Li Yang didn't respond but waved his hand, and then he turned around and came to the outside of the temple, he looked up at the sky, the night tonight is really beautiful, the moon is round and bright, even the stars are twinkling, I don't know if my two ladies miss me, I have to surprise her two when I go back this time, at this time there were a few roars like killing pigs in the temple
Kang Ze pounced his hands and walked out of the temple: Finished
Then Zeno also walked out: I was so tossed by him, I was not sleepy
Li Yang: If we are all awake, let's hurry up, let's walk slowly when it's dark, and the farther we go, the safer we will be
Kang Ze nodded: "Well-then my brothers clean up."
Li Yang: How is that old boy Zeno?
Zeno: Fainted
After packing up the things, the group took advantage of the night to continue to hurry, the sight can only see a distance in front of them after dark, the carriage is led by people, who is sleepy to sleep on the carriage, take turns to guide the carriage to continue on the mountain road, even if it is dawn, everyone can not take care of rest, hungry simply eat some dry food and pickles to deal with a bite
There is a route to the destination of this trip, Manjiang Autonomous Region, one is to take the official road back to Taizhou from Ningbo by land, and only to go to Manjiang Autonomous Region by detour from Taizhou to Alan County, and the other is to take the waterway, take a boat in the coastal area at the southern end of Ningbo Prefecture, and you can get to Manjiang Autonomous Region in about half a day
So Li Yang chose to take the waterway, rushed a morning of the road, our group, came to the southern end of Ningbo Province a seaside area, the locals called this area Shiyantan, I spent 100 taels of silver with the local fishermen to buy an old double-sailed fishing boat, after a short rest on the beach, he let the carriage sink into the sea, led the horse to the boat, and the group crossed the sea by boat to Manjiang Autonomous Region
Wait until the sun is about to set in the shallows in the north of the Manjiang Autonomous Region, our group set up a tent on the shallows and rested for the night, as soon as the morning dawned, we left 4 people here to watch the boat, and the rest of the people carried Niu Yongnian into the dense forest to the Manjiang capital, but walking-walking a few of us got lost in the forest, the further we went, the bigger the trees and vegetation, Li Yang thought to himself that we had strayed into the dense forest of Xiangshan
Xiangshan dense forest is a unique tropical rainforest area of Manjiang Autonomous Region, the native Manjiang people do not dare to enter the Xiangshan dense forest alone, if I don't have a certain degree of understanding of Manjiang Autonomous Region, then a few of us have to be trapped in this deep mountain old forest, so a few of us hurriedly returned according to the original way, but after turning over three mountains, suddenly from the forest, rushed out of a group of Manjiang warriors surrounded a few of us
The leading warrior asked, "Who are you and what are you doing in the deep mountains and old forests?"
Li Yang showed his identity and intention to the leading soldiers, and when the leading soldiers learned my name: You are the head of the Li family, we people know your name, the head of the Li family, please come with me and I will take you to the capital of the barbarian ginger
In this way, a few of us came to the capital of Manjiang under the leadership of the Manjiang warriors, and came to the outside of the Manjiang Palace Li Yang gave up his hand to the guards: Li Yang, the head of the Lower Li family, came to visit King Achalan today, and asked this brother to help spread the word
When Acha Lan learned that Li Yang was coming, he hurriedly asked people to invite Li Yang and the people who came with him to the palace, and the two hugged happily as soon as they met, and it happened that several leaders of the Manjiang Autonomous Region and Elder Hunaji - Du Chalan were also there
Ah Cha Lan: Brother Li has been here for half a year, I thought you couldn't fulfill the marriage contract and wouldn't come, even if you couldn't fulfill the marriage contract, how should we get along
Li Yang: It's been more than half a year, and I'm here to fulfill the agreement today, but before that, I want to confirm with Ling Meidu Chalan in person
Ah Cha Lan looked at Du Chalan: Sister Li has something to ask you
Du Chalan: You can ask whatever the head of the Li family wants to ask
Li Yang: If I give Niu Yongnian's head, are you really willing to marry the third child of our family?
Du Chalan: The head of the Li family, I and I all speak to Chalan, as long as you give Niu Yongnian's head, I will promise to marry the third child of your family as a wife and never break my word
Li Yang: Okay
After saying that, he clapped his hands, Kang Ze and Ze Nuo carried Niu Yongnian to the palace, Li Yang casually pulled out the short knife on Ze Nuo's waist, walked behind Niu Yongnian and faced Ah Cha Mu and the others, Li Yang put his hand around Niu Yongnian's neck and whispered in his ear: General Niu can't help but borrow your head
As soon as the words fell, Li Yang strangled Niu Yongnian's neck with all his might, and the other hand held a short knife and pulled it vigorously on Niu Yongnian's neck, blood splashed like water in all directions, when Li Yang took off Niu Yongnian's head, the leaders present were all stunned by the scene in front of them, and King Acha also showed a little horror on his face, even Kang Ze Zenuo, who was good at torture, couldn't bear to look at it directly
At this time, Li Yang was covered in blood, but he did look smiling, and casually threw Niu Yongnian's head at the feet of Ah Cha Mu: The Li family dowry in Alan County was presented
When Acha Lan and the leaders saw Li Yang's expression like a demon, they all felt an inexplicable chill, which was blowing from their backs and ears to make people shudder, Elder Hu Naji stepped forward to pick up Niu Yongnian's head, raised his hands and shouted excitedly upwards: Innocent and tragic undead, your blood and sea of revenge have been avenged, rest in peace
But at this time, Du Chalan did make another request, only by agreeing to her request could she marry the Li family willingly
