Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Soldiers Are Divided into Two Paths
Tokyo City, a wild crossing outside the water gate in the northeast corner.
A small and medium-sized boat of more than a foot long was quietly moored on the shore, the shore was in the wilderness, the snow was covered with withered grass, a carriage stopped silently here, and several thin horses were bowing their heads boredly, and there was a bite to gnaw on the weeds that had long been withered and yellow on the ground.
In winter, the water in the northern canals plummeted, and although the government along the river did its best to maintain the flow of water, the slightly larger ships on the river were still unable to move, and a boat in its early reaches was close to the limit of its current capacity.
"Zhang San and Li Si brothers, you have the heaviest pressure and the highest danger on this trip, and I thank you here on behalf of Sect Leader Lin!"
Zhang San, Li Si, and several other good men took the initiative to stand up and expressed their willingness to ride horses and drive empty carriages by land in order to attract the pursuers that the imperial court might send. In this regard, Zou Run expressed his deep respect, he tidied up his clothes and made a big gift in a dignified manner.
Zhang San, Li Si and the others scratched their heads, their faces were still smiling and groaning, but their bodies did not dodge, and they accepted this salute solidly.
Lu Zhishen has resumed the dress of a monk at this time, and he is also grateful to this group of brave and loyal men, perhaps this fierce general of the Western Army never thought that a sheep would call this group of pimpling gangsters who steal chickens and dogs in Tokyo so heartfelt.
First, at the risk of being retaliated by Gao Yu, he reported to him in advance, so that he escaped the arrest of Kaifeng Mansion, and then tried his best to protect the Lin Jiaotou family, and secretly hid him under the cellar of the vegetable garden.
He earnestly instructed:
"You guys, Hugh is a good man, you have to eat more food and drink less wine along the way. Along the way, although there was a farewell to Gao Yanei, but out of Tokyo, if you can use less, you will use less, and you will rest in a private inn. Don't be unkind to the horses under your seat, and serve them every day with the best fine materials, they are not only your feet to hurry, but they are your hope for your life if the pursuers are in a hurry! Do you remember what the Sprinkle family said? ”
In the face of Lu Zhishen's true feelings, Zhang San, Li Si and others were all moved, and they all bowed their hands and said:
"Don't worry about Master so much, we will take care of ourselves, and Master will remember all his words in my heart. Master and Zou Zhai took Zhang Jiaotou and Lin Niangzi to take the boat down quickly, and waited for the good news of our brothers in Liangshanbo. It's not that I'm boasting, although Gao Yu is now a captain, he is also an ordinary gangster, and when it comes to his ability, he is not as good as me. When this guy reacts, I'll be happy drinking and eating meat in Liangshanbo as early as I can! ”
"That's right, what Brother Zhang said is that I waited all the way to sometimes wear the clothes of the wait, revealing a trace, sometimes changing into the clothes of the people, and walking on the path, like this, even if the court sent chasing soldiers, I can't wait!"
Looking at these real warriors who pretended to be nothing and smiled on their faces, Zou Run Lu Zhishen was full of emotion. Zhang Jiaotou, who was standing on the side, also led Lin Niangzi and Jin'er to salute them.
"The great grace is not grateful, the little old man and his daughters are speechless, and it is difficult to reward them with their meager wealth, so they have to give a salute first, after staying in Liangshan, my son-in-law Lin Chong will be rewarded with a lot of money, and all the heroes must return in full, and the old man is looking forward to it in Liangshan!"
After that, Zhang Jiaotou and Lin Niangzi saluted with Jin'er, tears in their eyes, grateful to Dade, and thanked them in their mouths.
Li Si's personality was free and easy, he waved his hand, turned to his companion behind him and said: "Hugh has to be on the ground, I have been in a mess for half my life, and I am happy to be able to do this kind of heroic thing." Master, Zou Zhai, as well as Zhang Jiaotou and Lin Niangzi, it is windy by the river, hurry up and get on the boat.
"Brethren, the sun is getting early, let's hurry early! Leave the lackeys sent by the imperial court far behind and teach them to eat our fart! ”
"Haha, what Fourth Brother Li said is that the big guy is leaving! Tell those guys to eat our fart! ”
"Hahaha!!"
Zhang San, Li Si and the others all laughed, turned over the horse neatly, grabbed the reins, turned the horse's head, and did not turn around to say goodbye. Each of them waved his whip, drove the carriage, and galloped towards the east road.
Lin Niangzi and Jin'er helped Zhang Jiaotou to get on the boat, looking at Lu Zhishen, who was still reluctant to look at him, Zou Run stepped forward and persuaded him.
"Master, let's get on the boat as soon as possible, return to Liangshan as soon as possible, and send someone down the mountain to meet them as soon as possible."
Lu Zhishen sighed when he heard this, shook off his big sleeves, and returned to the boat without looking back.
"What Brother said is that I went to find the bad luck in the high ya, for this handful of birds, I will damage my brothers Zhang San and Li Si, and I must teach him to eat five hundred Arhat boxing!"
On the edge of the wild ferry, the boatman propped up the shore and rowed the oars, and went down the river from the east side without mentioning it.
It was late at night, in the city of Tokyo, on the high house.
At this time, there was a mess up and down the house. After serving the son of the day from the palace, Gao Li rode back home, although physically and mentally exhausted, but on the occasion of the annual Chinese New Year's Eve, he also wanted to gather a large family to celebrate the New Year and pray for a good omen for the coming year.
But after taking off his official clothes and changing into casual clothes at home, when he was surrounded by a large number of wives and concubines of Yingying Yanyan, Gao Yu thought of his "son" on this occasion of bliss in the world.
"Go! Call that rebel to the court! It's a big person, all day long, don't say that the flowers and grass are messing around, don't say that the old man doesn't come to greet him when he returns home, how do you not know the rules of the year? It's not like that! ”
When the servants saw this, they hurriedly separated two people to summon people in the inner room of the ya. This time I found something strange, and I didn't dare to hide it, so I reported it directly to the lieutenant.
What kind of character is Captain Gao? Although the Manchu Dynasty said that he was a courtier, he might be a palace marshal, for the sake of the military minister, Gao Yu was naturally not an ordinary character, and he immediately noticed the unreasonableness.
Immediately ordered to send someone to Zhang Jiaotou's house to find someone.
Sure enough, the people went to the empty building, and from the traces left at the scene, and the confession of Yu Hou, who was stripped of the stripes and frozen, Gao Yu knew that something was wrong.
His own son is gone!
No, it's my own son who was kidnapped!
He immediately waved away the warbler Yanyan beside him, and above the lobby, he tied up a dry wait and a helper, and without saying a word, he let his subordinates fight.
Gao Yu's subordinates are all carefully selected strong men in the forbidden army, all of them are seven feet tall, with strong shoulders and round waists, and each person can eat more than five bowls at a meal.
Pity the four Yu Hou, who couldn't go home for the New Year, and went out with Gao Yanei, not to mention the slightest benefit, and was frozen half to death in the winter.
I was finally rescued, and the first thing I did when I woke up was to face a military stick first.
What's even more unlucky is the stand-in on the bed, who has been hungry since the morning, and originally expected Gao Yanei to have a heavy reward after coming back, but now that the reward is gone, not to mention, his life is about to be lost.
