Chapter 109: Goodbye is like the next year (three watches)
"Where are we going?"
On the bustling street, Gao Changgong was wearing a casual dress, not wearing half a jade pendant around his waist, only carrying a pair of hands behind him, and his whole body swayed as he walked, like a wanderer who had nothing to do.
It's just that compared to usual, he has an extra hat on his head, and the wide edge just covers his overly handsome face.
However, Qin Ke followed behind him, but he felt more and more strange, originally after coming out of the martial arts arena, he and Abu had been walking with him for a while, although he was not the "head snake" of Jianye City, compared to Abu, they were not so familiar with the way, but after all, he had also stayed in Jingwu for a month, plus followed Abu, Xiaoqian, and the building around, at least he already knew very clearly the route of Gao Changgong's general's mansion and palace, and it was definitely not in this direction.
"What, bored?" said Gao Changgong with a smile as he walked.
Qin Ke didn't know how to answer, he just felt choked on a breath, how could this person always feel that he would deviate when he spoke?
Looking at Qin Ke's deflated appearance, the smile on Gao Changgong's face was even bigger, if any little lady saw the handsome face under the hat at this time, I was afraid that she would immediately be dizzy, and it was very likely that she would even faint to death all of a sudden.
But Qin Ke was already accustomed to Gao Changgong's face that was so beautiful that it didn't look like a mortal, and looking at his smile, he felt as if it was a little malicious all the time.
He became a little annoyed, and muttered, "You took me and Abu out of the Taixue Hall, and didn't tell us what to do, just took us to wander around the streets, and you walked for most of the day, and you didn't even have to drink saliva." ”
"I'm thirsty. I'll have it when we get there. Gao Changgong smiled and said: "Take you to the soju that often goes to the north, the mellow ......" paused, he looked at the two, and suddenly shook his head and said: "I forgot that you are still young, it is okay to drink some rice wine, soju...... I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. ”
He seemed a little disappointed that the two of them could not drink with him, but the thought of being able to taste the Northland soju soon became full of joy and his steps became more and more brisk.
"Northland Shochu?" Qin Ke frowned, "You're going to find the Canghai Mission?"
"It's close. Gao Changgong smiled, "There is more to the Northland than just Canghai. ”
"That's the Great Wall Mission. Qin Ke reacted quickly, "You're going to take us to fight again today? There was an assassin in the last fight, this time, aren't you afraid of something happening again?"
Qin Ke never seemed to be the god of war in front of him, and he often came and went when he spoke, and he didn't use any honorifics.
Gao Changgong didn't care too much, pursed his lips and smiled: "Even if you say so, I won't let you go back." But you can rest assured, I don't plan on getting you into a fight with anyone, and it's none of my business if people want to fight you or if you want to fight people. ”
Abu was silent beside him, he stayed by Gao Changgong and Zhuge Wanling a lot, and naturally knew more things than Qin Ke, and Gao Changgong's appearance of going to the Great Wall Mission with such a happy mood also proved some of his guesses: "Brother Changgong, what are you ...... Do you want to meet General Mulan?"
Gao Changgong didn't answer, but the smile on his face was equivalent to acquiescence.
Qin Ke was stunned for a moment, then turned his face and asked Abu in a low voice: "Could it be that the rumors in the city are true?
Abu's face changed, and he cautiously looked at Gao Changgong, who seemed to be unaware of it, and whispered with his mouth covered: "Don't talk nonsense...... It was Changgong's eldest brother who left home and traveled all over the world when he was young, and spent some time on the Great Wall, when General Mu was still alive, and he also helped command a defensive battle against fierce beasts...... It is estimated that I was familiar with General Mulan at that time, but the Great Wall Mission came to Jingwu this time, and Brother Changgong and General Mulan looked very unfamiliar, and I don't know if something happened again......"
"I think it's a good match...... Qin Ke glanced at Gao Changgong's back, and suddenly showed a sly smile, "Abu, look, that Mulan general looks like a fierce wife, just enough to control him." It's like Uncle Ji and Aunt Qing in our village, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer......"
Gao Changgong suddenly stopped in front of him, he squinted his eyes, and laughed softly: "You kid...... What do you say? Is your ass itching again?"
Qin Ke immediately shut up, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for being so forgetful, with Gao Changgong's martial arts cultivation, his ear power was already extremely sharp, as long as he wanted to, even if there was a needle within a radius of ten zhang landing, he could hear it clearly, not to mention the whisper that he thought he had lowered his voice?
However, Gao Changgong still didn't care about Qin Ke's arrangement and slander behind his back, and continued to move forward faster with a smile.
Most of the Jianye inherited from the rich Wu State of the year, when the city was built, it has considered the possibility of future development and growth, and the natural area is unimaginable.
Even though Qin Ke had been in Jianye City for more than a month, he was only a little familiar with a small area around the Taixue Hall, and he had never set foot in this northern part of the city.
Jianye City is in the north of the city, is facing the Jingwu Palace Zhenguo Gate, the building here can be described as extraordinary, it is the permanent place of the dignitaries, and it is the richest place in Jianye City.
And this time the Great Wall and Canghai two countries to visit, Jing Wu in order to show sincerity, directly vacated two large mansions that can accommodate more than 100 people, standing at the gate to see, the eaves are like a wild dragon about to rise in the air, on the closed gate, two feet of human skull size copper rings by two majestic bronze lions in the mouth, the lion's big eyes with anger round, the gods and ghosts.
It had just rained yesterday, so there were still some water stains on the steps.
Gao Changgong looked at the closed door of the house, pondered for a moment, and stepped forward to reach out and hold the copper ring.
"General!"
Qin Ke and Abu turned around, and what caught their eyes was a familiar face.
That face had only been seen for two days, but seeing each other again at this moment, Qin Ke and Abu both thought that there had been a gap of several years.
The man's hair was unkempt, his hair was scattered in all directions, and there was a little mud in a few places, his cheeks were gray, and his lips were covered with white dandruff.
But he was still wearing a brocade robe, but now the dress no longer had the golden appearance of the past, and after a night of wind and rain, it was crumpled and crumpled against him, and his face was haggard and gloomy, and he looked like an old man of seventy or eighty years old.
"Zhang Mingqi ......," Abu shouted in surprise.
Qin Ke also looked that person up and down, he couldn't tell that this was the high-spirited rich kid at the beginning, and his legs and knees were even more muddy at the moment, wondering if he had been kneeling for a long time last night.
Gao Changgong's eyes flashed with a strange light, and Zhang Mingqi immediately knelt down.
"General...... Help my father......" Zhang Mingqi's voice was so weak that only he could hear it.
Tingwei sent an official document, his father has been arrested and imprisoned for colluding with several officials, reselling relief food, embezzling food money, although he has not been pulled onto the blood-stained torture platform, but in the eyes of ordinary people, he is already a dying person named in the book of Hades.
And Zhang Mingqi's family's Wanguan family property had all been confiscated by the Tingwei Mansion when his father was arrested, leaving only a few tattered clothes worn by the subordinates, which really couldn't fit into the cart that came to carry them, so they were thrown away.
The ancestor of the Zhang family fell ill in a fit of anger and fell to the ground on the spot, and none of the slaves in the family were willing to stay behind, so they packed up their things and dispersed.
A once glamorous and rich family would fall into such a bleak and miserable situation in one day.
In the past, Zhang Mingqi could still be neither humble nor arrogant even if he saw Gao Changgong, but now, his father is just a sinner who has stripped him of all his titles, and he is not even as good as the poor people who set up stalls on the street and do hard labor, what qualifications can he make to Jing Wu God of War?
But he came here early in the morning, and he also listened to the advice of a kind family in the Gao Mansion, and he knew that if he couldn't say his request at this only opportunity, he was afraid that he would regret it in the future.
Thinking of this, he kowtowed heavily on the bluestone slab-paved ground, and his voice was loud.
"General...... Save my dad, my dad...... I'm afraid I'm going to kill my head. ”
In the past two days, he has not known how many people he has said this to many people, but this time, it may be his last chance.
