Chapter 224: Tiger Riding on the Dragon Plate (11)

Hearing Master Hong ask if he and the others knew the appearance of the thief, the generals in the line exchanged glances with each other, but no one immediately came out to answer. Some of them did have fought directly with the old Eighth Brigade of the Chuang Battalion, but some of them had never been in contact; even those generals who had fought directly with the Chuang Army did not necessarily have fought with Li Ziben face to face.

As for Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, Tian Jianxiu and many others, not many people have seen them all. It was only recently that they knew a little more about the appearance of Li Zicheng and his leaders because they saw the notice of Sun Chuanting's reward for the arrest of Li Chuang and others, but they were not very clear.

Hong Chengchou saw that everyone was silent, so he signaled to the Chinese army who was standing beside him and waiting, and he said softly: "Go and pass that 'Great Heavenly King' Gao Jie in!"

When the Chinese army heard the order of the Inspector, he immediately turned around and walked quickly to the door of the lobby, he muttered to the military academy outside in a low voice, and someone immediately shouted loudly at the bottom of the stairs: "Spread the 'Great Heavenly King' Gao Jie to meet you!"

Immediately afterwards, the school swordsmen standing outside the second gate shouted loudly after hearing the shout, "Spread the 'Great Heavenly King' Gao Jie to meet you!" The majestic voice echoed for a long time between the gate and the shadow wall.

The Great Heavenly King was already waiting for the announcement in the wing room inside the gate. Since his surrender to the imperial court, he has been serving as a guerrilla general under He Renlong, and most of the men and horses he can actually command are those who have surrendered with him;

Although Gao Jie surrendered to the imperial court with all his heart, he fought bravely every time he fought against the peasant army, and almost died in the battle with his old friend Li Guo, but He Renlong's nephew He Guoying was lost in front of Gao Jie, so that the guerrilla general he served under He Renlong was also precarious, and there were some more disturbing news coming recently.

He must be the first in every battle, so his old department has suffered a lot of losses, and recently there are rumors that Gao Jie's battle is unfavorable, resulting in the loss of the imperial court, so he must be demoted to the use of his generals, so that many of his generals will disperse on their own, and a few of the generals who are very effective under his subordinates have also been assigned to others to command, and now they are almost gone.

He was always worried that Sun Chuanting, the jealous and hateful demon king, would want his life, but it was impossible for him to escape, not to mention that the court could not let him go, even if he was a 'tiger' Li Guo brother, he would not let him live well in the world;

Waiting in the wing room in a trance, now when he heard us paged loudly and let himself hurry up, Gao Jie couldn't help but tremble, he jumped up from the cold bench like an electric shock, hurriedly adjusted the clothes on his body, and walked calmly in the direction of the second gate.

Standing at the second gate, a group of tall and burly school knife hands stopped Gao Jie with horizontal knives. One of the junior colonels looked him up and down, and asked in an unkind tone, "What kind of 'Great Heavenly King' are you?"

"Yes, I am the 'Great Heavenly King' Gao Jie", he replied in a low voice, his voice trembling a little.

"Do you have any weapons on you?" asked the Colonel again

He honestly took off the waist knife and handed it to the little colonel. The little colonel was still not at ease, and searched and searched his body with another soldier, and after confirming that he had kneaded every inch of Gao Jie's skin, he let him enter the second gate.

In the middle of the second gate is a vermilion lacquered screen, which opens to a door, which is the so-called Inspector Xingyuan Door. This door is usually not opened, and only when Ding Qirui enters and exits the Tongguan Army, or when Ding Qirui wants to welcome the officials and dignitaries, this door will be opened.

Tonight, due to the arrival of the governor, the governor and several general soldiers, this door was opened; although the 'Great Heavenly King' Gao Jie also knew the rules of officialdom, he was more flustered at this time, so he was careless for a while, and walked straight to the Yimen.

Seeing that this was wrong, the junior colonel immediately chased after him, pulled him hard, and scolded angrily: "Go over there! What are you, dare to go through the door!"

As he spoke, the Colonel tugged at his collar and pushed him, causing him to stagger past him. He passed through the two rows of warriors at the bottom of the stairs, and was led into the lobby by the lieutenant officer, and when he was almost in front of Hong Chengchou, Gao Jie knelt down on his knees.

At this time, his heart was about to jump to his throat, Gao Jie didn't dare to raise his head, he kowtowed and said, "The last general Gao Jie will see the master of the stage!"

Hong Chengchou asked: "Are you the fellow villager of the traitor Li Zicheng?"

"Lord Hui, it's my cousin. Gao Jie replied in a trembling voice

"Why did you two fall out?"

Since the death of the little uncle Gao Yingxiang, the little one did not want to be a thief for a long time, and once persuaded Li Zicheng to surrender to the court. Who knew that he not only didn't listen to the advice, but also doubted the small one from then on, so the little one broke up with him and went his own way...... "Gao Jie is not stupid, of course he knows what to say."

Hong Chengchou knew that this was a nonsense, so he naturally didn't believe it. He stroked his beard and smiled slightly, nodded and said: "As long as you change your mind from now on and really serve the imperial court, the imperial court will naturally reuse you. Once he is captured or beheaded, the army will be victorious, and you will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and you will naturally have your share. ”

Gao Jie hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Master Xie cultivates!"

"Gao Jie, you can carefully tell the appearance of Uncle Li Thief's nephew, so that he can be captured and beheaded before the battle tomorrow, and even if he dies in the chaos, the body can be found. Hong Chengchou's tone was full of encouragement, which also made Gao Jie's heart settle down a lot.

"Yes, yes!"

The Great Heavenly King told him in detail about the figures and appearances of Li Zicheng and Li Guo, and was afraid that Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting would think that his loyalty was not enough, so he quickly added: "My lord, if Li Zicheng and his nephew Li Guo die in the chaos, even if the flesh and blood are blurred, there is a way to recognize their corpses. As long as you see the quiver hanging on Li Guo's body and the sword held by Li Zicheng, you can recognize them. ”

"What quiver?" Hong Chengchou asked Gao Jie in some surprise

"It was a cowhide quiver painted with vermilion lacquer and gold, and a small golden dragon was painted on it. Gao Jie hurriedly replied

Sun Chuanting understood that this must have been obtained by the thief 'a tiger' when he broke through the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum, so he couldn't help but shake his head and scolded hatefully: "This dead thief!"

Hong Chengchou then asked: "What kind of sword does the traitor Li Zicheng use?"

"He originally had two good swords, one called Huama Sword......"

"What kind of sword?" Hong Chengchou cut his face to intercept Gao Jie's words.
