Chapter 340: Preparation
Shen Jiuling is gone? Gao Jie regretted for a while, he only cared about seeing Wang Haoyi as soon as possible, forgetting that the medicinal properties were about to pass, and the girl should wake up.
Hearing the news of Shen Jiuling's disappearance, the most anxious person was naturally Ji Longfeng, if it wasn't for Wang Rui pulling him, he would have gone out to find it with a gun on his back.
Brother Dong comforted Hui Jing and reminded, "Xiaojie, do you want to go to Lord Tian and ask?"
Ji Longfeng said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, yes! There are many spies in Jinyiwei, maybe I really see where Miss Jiu'er went!"
Wang Haoyi came and went to this courtyard, all of them climbed over the wall in the backyard, and Gao Jie didn't want Jinyiwei's spies to discover his secret. Previously, he was also worried that Tian Ergeng would send someone to follow his group, but when he found that on the way to Shifokou, he didn't find anyone following, and he couldn't help but have a little more affection for Tian Ergeng. It seems that although this "wicked man" in the eyes of later generations looks cold-blooded and fierce, he actually knows the word love.
The first time he met Tian Ergeng, Gao Jie became interested in his relationship with the Wei family. Before leaving Beijing, Gao Jie had asked Wei Zhongxian once, and the answer he got surprised him.
Tian Ergeng's grandfather was the famous prince of the Wanli period, the Shaobao military department Shangshu Tian Le, the ancestral home of Renqiu, Hebei, when he was young, his family was poor, he studied hard, and he knew the righteousness and courage. In the first year and the second year of Longqing, he entered the official career. Because of his achievements during his tenure and his integrity, he was reappointed as Liangyong Bingdao in the early years of Wanli. Later, the border was tight, and the Mongol leader Yong Shao Bu, who had wandered to Qinghai, often led troops to plunder the Tibetan people and repeatedly harassed the interior in an attempt to invade. In the twenty-third year of Wanli, Tian Le was ordered to patrol Gansu, and in terms of war preparation, he formulated the policy of "first determining the Qing chieftain and then governing the Yong chieftain", and after several major wars, he finally destroyed the old nest of the bandit chieftain entrenched in Qinghai, eliminated the Mongolian leader Yongshao Bu, and recovered more than 1,000 miles of Songshan land. After the war, Tian Le was promoted to the governor of the three sides because of his merits, and later promoted to the secretary of the military department of the crown prince and the Taibao, and posthumously presented three generations. In the twenty-eighth year of Wanli, Tian Le was awarded the title of Tui Cheng Xuanli Shou Zheng Wenchen, the special entry Guanglu doctor, the Zhuguo Songshan Bo, the food Lu 1,600 stones, and was given the iron scroll Danshu (ten deaths), and the hereditary command of the first son.
It can be said that because of Tian Le, the Tian family began to develop into a famous family.
However, in the battle for the crown prince, Tian Le stood on the wrong side and supported the later Fu King Zhu Changxun. After Zhu Changluo won and became the crown prince, the Donglin Party gained power and began to impeach Tian Le, and soon Tian Le was impeached and returned to his hometown.
Tian Ergeng was born and grew up in his hometown of Renqiu, Hebei Province, and in the winter when he was six years old, a group of masked men stormed the Tian family's house, carried out a massacre, and finally burned the Tian family's house to the ground.
When the tragedy occurred, his father hid the young Tian Ergeng in a secret compartment in the study and survived. However, the sky-high fire that burned for two days baked the earthen wall to the bumper, and half of Tian Ergeng's face was burned, and he could not be treated in time, so he became the appearance of a terrible ghost today.
Tian Ergeng, who escaped, kept in mind his father's advice, and in order to avoid the enemy from discovering his traces, he begged all the way, fled all the way, and came to Suning in Zhili from Renqiu, Hebei. One night, Tian Ergeng, who was freezing cold and hungry, finally fainted on a remote street corner in Suning, and was rescued home by Wei Zhongxian, who was passing by.
At that time, Wei Zhongxian was still a gangster, who seemed to eat, drink, and have fun, and could do everything, but he was very sincere in his bones, and longed to one day become a big hero who fought with swords and rivers and helped the weak.
So as soon as he saw Tian Ergeng's pitiful and miserable appearance in the snow, he carried him back home without hesitation.
At that time, he had been married for two years and had never given birth to a child, so the couple kept this poor field and raised him as a son.
However, their days are getting poorer and poorer. Wei Zhongxian learned that he could be fed and clothed as a eunuch, so he spent money to hire an old eunuch to help him clean himself and enter the palace to become a eunuch. When I made money every month, I asked someone to take it home and give it to my wife and Tian Ergeng to live.
By chance, Wei Chengguang, the master of the Broken Knife Gate, returned to his hometown to visit his relatives, and took a fancy to Tian Ergeng's roots, so he took him to the Broken Knife Gate and accepted him as a disciple.
After Tian Ergeng became a teacher, he returned to his hometown to learn that his adoptive mother had already remarried and did not know what to do. He had no choice but to enter Beijing, found his adoptive father Wei Zhongxian, and became a member of the forbidden army.
Later, Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, and Wei Zhongxian became the emperor's celebrity. Tian Ergeng told his adoptive father about his life experience, and under the operation of Wei Zhongxian, Tian Ergeng soon became the governor of Zuo Du with the ancestor Yinji, and went to Jinyiwei to become a prison officer, in charge of the edict and torture.
It's just that Tian Ergeng never told Wei Zhongxian about the enemy who killed his entire clan, firstly because the enemy was gaining power, and secondly, he wanted to take revenge with his own hands.
When he learned that Tian Ergeng and Wei Zhongxian had such a relationship, Gao Jie suddenly realized, no wonder Wei Liangqing always said that he and Tian Ergeng had known each other since childhood.
Come to think of it, Tian Ergeng gave him enough trust because of the good relationship between Gao Jie and the Wei family.
When he heard Brother Dong and Ji Longfeng suggest going to Tian Ergeng for help, Gao Jie pondered for a moment and then shook his head and said, "This is a critical moment, and I'm worried that letting Jinyiwei's people participate too much will make our plans leak. In this way, let's go out separately to find it first, and if we can't find it, we will go to find Tian Ergeng and they will help!"
Everyone felt reasonable, opened the courtyard door and was about to leave, but saw a little kid drooling and gnawing on a rock sugar gourd, jumping to the door and handing them a letter.
Brother Dong inquired patiently, only to learn that someone had bought a rock sugar gourd for the child, and in exchange for forwarding the letter.
Everyone looked at each other, and from this unopened envelope, they seemed to feel a hint of conspiracy.
Sure enough, Gao Jie opened the letter and saw that the content was indeed about Shen Jiuling. The letter was to the effect that Shen Jiuling had fallen into their hands, and if they wanted to save her life, they would go to the land temple in the western suburbs of the city before dinner and exchange the white lotus holy relic for Shen Jiuling.
Gao Jie is pregnant with the White Lotus Sect's holy relics, and not many people know about it. Even the close relationship Ji Longfeng, Wang Rui, etc., Gao Jie did not fail to tell them, mainly because he didn't want to involve them in this kind of thing too early.
Therefore, there should be only a few people who really know that Gao Jie is carrying the holy relics of the White Lotus Sect now, Master, Uncle, Senior Sister, Grand Master Doroji, Dong Ge, Xu Hongru, and Master Guiyuan.
Among these people, there is only one person who really makes Gao Jie suspicious, and that is Master Guiyuan. Although Gui Yuan is a senior master, the founding leader of the Western Mahayana Sect is by no means like a shameless person who will betray the pure space master. But the basis of Gao Jie's judgment is very simple, there is only one point, that is, he is not familiar with her and does not understand her, so it is the most likely and suspicious.
Of course, this is only a doubt, and it is inconvenient to store the doubt in the head, after all, as a master of Guiyuan, few people believe it.
The mystery of the leak can only be solved later, and what needs to be solved urgently at this moment is how to rescue Shen Jiuling.
Seeing that Gao Jie was a little distracted, and he didn't know what he was thinking, Ji Longfeng shouted loudly in his ear: "Xiaojie, hurry up and set off to save people, why are you still in a daze now!"
Feeling that his eardrums were buzzing, Gao Jie looked at Ji Longfeng in amazement and said, "Damn, do you want to make me deaf?!"
Ji Longfeng stretched out his palm, rubbed Gao Jie's ears in a coping manner, and said, "It doesn't matter if you are deaf, Miss Jiu'er must not have an accident!"
Gao Jie listened, and he didn't even have the strength to say the words "heavy color and light friends", so he directly hugged his fists to Ji Longfeng to convince him.
Then he looked at the anxious eyes of the big guy, and said in a deep voice: "To save people, we must save them! We don't know who the opponent is; we don't know how many of them are; they are just for what I have in my hands, or they want to kill me, and even say that they want to kill us all, we don't know anything." Moreover, we have never even been to that land temple, and we don't know anything about the topography. The enemy is coming, and we are like a bunch of blind men, just rushing away, what is the difference between sending us to death?"
A speech is like drinking ice water in the hot summer, like a gust of wind blowing after sweating, and everyone gradually calms down.
Although Ji Longfeng was in a hurry, he was not stupid, and asked impatiently, "Then what do you say you should do?"
Gao Jie patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Since the other party asked me to exchange the holy relics by name, it means that Miss Jiu'er will not be in danger, right?"
Ji Longfeng thought for a moment, and then really calmed down and said, "That's right, what they want is the White Lotus Holy Relic, not the life of the Jiu'er Girl! By the way, Xiao Jie, what is the White Lotus Holy Relic? Didn't we just get a Smelling Fragrance Sect Holy Relic?"
Gao Jie smiled bitterly: "It's a long story, now is not the time to talk about this." We must first come up with a plan to rescue Miss Jiu'er!"
Dong Ge muttered: "It's really hard to guess who the opponent is, but there are still some clues! First of all, he or they know that the White Lotus Holy Relic is on Xiaojie's body, second, the other party knows very well that Miss Jiu'er is one of us, and third, they want the White Lotus Relic, not the Smelling Fragrance Sect Relic, so it shouldn't be Wang Haoxian's person!"
Wang Rui raised his eyebrows and said: "Since Wang Haoxian's people have been ruled out, then the most suspicious one should be the person who targeted us, that is, the man in black who fought with us last night!"
"That's right, if Wang Haoxian is just a fox tail, and the purpose of those black-clothed people may be a fox tail or a white lotus holy relic, maybe it's really them!" Ji Longfeng was a little excited, and his voice was much louder.
Gao Jie motioned for him to be quiet, and then said, "Brother Dong's sister and second brother have analyzed it thoroughly, so we will temporarily use that group of people in black as imaginary enemies to design a rescue plan." ”
Dong Ge raised his cheeks and said: "If it is really those men in black, then the number of opponents can almost be determined, about twelve!"
Ji Longfeng nodded again and again: "The leader is two masters, and there are ten people with average skills, but they can form two powerful strange formations!"
Gao Jie said: "In other words, there are at least twelve people, and maybe the other party still has the strength to hide." ”
Wang Rui patted his strong chest and said quite confidently: "Don't worry, even according to the opponent we faced last night, it is only a matter of time before Brother Dong and I win, and Brother Yu and Datou will not be defeated by dealing with the two knife formations, so that we still have Xiaojie, Hui Jing and Wukong left... It shouldn't be a problem to take it!"
Brother Dong touched Wukong's head lovingly and said, "Wukong has only woken up for a long time, but I can't let him go into battle again!"
When Wukong heard this, he shook his head vigorously and said resolutely: "I can do it!
Before Gao Jie went to the stone Buddha mouth in the morning, he specially checked Wukong's recovery, and was very satisfied, at this moment, although his face was a little pale, but his mental state was good, and the wounds on his face had scabbed, he was very relieved: "That Liang Zilong shot ruthlessly, strong martial arts, Blue Eagle Claw doesn't know how many openings he grabbed on Wukong's body, thanks to his muscles and bones like iron, skin and flesh like steel, those fatal attacks fell on him and only caused flesh wounds, in exchange for any of the rest of us, I am afraid that he would have been disemboweled!"
After he finished speaking, he took out another pill and stuffed it into Wukong's mouth, and after seeing him swallow it obediently with a crying face, he smiled and said, "For Wukong's sake, you can participate in this operation!"
When Wukong heard this, his eyes blinked vigorously, and his face was like a flower.
Brother Dong glared at Gao Jie, but did not object. Because she knew that Gao Jie was a measured person, and since he agreed to let Wukong go, his injuries should be fine.
After all, Gao Jie, the little miracle doctor, is not covered.
In this way, with Gao Jie, Hui Jing and Wukong as backups, I believe that they should be able to deal with uncertainties and emergencies.
Gao Jie was still not at ease, and said to everyone: "There is still plenty of time now, so there is no need to be in a hurry." In this way, Second Brother, Sister Dongge, Brother Yu, and Big Tou, the four of you should take the first step, it is best to reconnoiter the situation around the Land Temple, and then wait patiently until we arrive before taking action! There is one thing that must be paid attention to, and you must not rush into the temple rashly!"
In the last sentence, Gao Jie looked at Ji Longfeng and said, everyone understood what it meant.
Ji Longfeng scratched his head and wondered, "What does this mean?!Is it true that in your eyes, I am a very impulsive person?!"
"Yes!" the unanimous answer made Ji Longfeng speechless.
After Brother Dong left, Gao Jie said to Hui Jing and Wukong: "You wait for me for a while, I'll come when I go out!"
With that, he left the courtyard alone.
Hui Jing looked at Gao Jie's back with some doubts and worries in her eyes.
Wukong is not worried, because he has no reason to trust Gao Jie.
