Chapter 320: Dawangzhuang
Although King Hou was named a guerrilla general by the imperial court, he was still the fifth protector of the Wenxiang Sect after all, and won the trust of the third prince Wang Haoxian, and was friendly with the blue eagle Liang Zilong.
This was something Gao Jie did not expect in advance. This time with Hou Wang, Gao Jie naturally couldn't reveal his true purpose, and only said that he was going to Zhili Yongping Mansion, which is now Qinhuangdao, on a business trip, and he needed to escort him. Yongping Mansion is east of Luanzhou, and it needs to pass through Luanzhou, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the Hou Wang, lest he leak the news to Wang Haoxian and startle the snake.
After thousands of calculations, Gao Jie didn't calculate that King Hou actually held the high position of the fifth protector of the Wenxiang Sect, let alone that there would be such an accident at a meal in Qinglong Town.
As soon as Hou Wangfu went into battle, Gao Jie was not only worried about exposing Xingzang, but also afraid that this guy's martial arts skills were not good and he was killed by Mi Lizhi's extremely powerful sword. He took the Hou Wang out of Beijing, but it was very useful, if he died like this, it would disrupt his long-planned plan to rescue Doctor Xu. When King Hou broke Mi Lizhi's "Immortal Finger" with a black stick, Gao Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but also became vigilant, King Hou's martial arts were unexpectedly powerful, and he was by no means a powerful character that could be easily leveled.
Just as Gao Jie was thinking nonsense, Mi Lizhi had already put away his long sword, stared at Hou Wang and said, "Who are you?"
King Hou stuck the black stick behind his backhand, hugged his fists and said: "King Hou of the Great Holy Gate, add to be the guerrilla general of the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses Division of the Beijing Division!"
Hearing that King Hou was an official of the imperial court, Mi Lizhi's arrogance was slightly restrained, and he also hugged his fists and said, "I've seen General Hou!"
During the Wanli period, the White Lotus Sect and its major branches were vigorously suppressed by the imperial court, and they had to hide among the people, lingering for a long time, and did not dare to preach openly. Until the last ten years, the Liaodong Jin Kingdom invaded from time to time, the border was urgent, the Ming court slowly shifted the military focus, and the restrictions on folk sects were gradually relaxed.
However, last year's Xu Hongru incident in Shandong shook the government and the opposition, and suddenly touched the sensitive nerves of the imperial court. During this tense period, the various sects, fearing that Emperor Lao Tzu would be angry with them, colluded more closely with the government and forcibly restrained the congregations from keeping a low profile. Although Mi Lizhi is young and vigorous, after all, he is the only son of Fuxian Buddha, and he is considered to be the heir of the leader of the Yellow Heaven Sect, so he naturally understands that he cannot easily clash with the government and the court and harm the sect.
Shicai's own sword was broken by King Hou, although he was angry, but after learning the identity of King Hou, he immediately calmed down, and his tone of voice became polite.
And Liang Baiying also understood from King Hou's self-introduction that the "Hou Protector" he blurted out before was inappropriate, and the pain of the ninja's severed fingers quickly hugged his fists and said: "Thank you General Hou for your help!"
King Hou is not an ordinary person, in a hurry, he had to save Liang Baiying, he was very worried that Gao Jie would blame himself for his trouble, and waved his hand at the moment: "You and others are all people who practice martial arts, and it is an ordinary thing to compete with each other, but if you make a fuss in front of the public, how can you ignore it! This matter ends here, the two must not fight fiercely, otherwise, the law of the country will not be tolerated!"
After that, he pretended not to know Gao Jie and the others, turned around and went to the restaurant to get the horses, and drove away from the town.
Seeing that the government came forward, the onlookers of the Wenxiang Sect did not dare to make any more noise, and gradually dispersed, and several of his subordinates who came to welcome him also left to heal Liang Baiying, who had a grudge.
Mi Lizhi calmed down, remembered his mother's advice before leaving, and regretted his reckless behavior a little, and immediately ordered his younger brothers and sisters to go to the restaurant to settle the bill, and hurriedly left Qinglong Town, a place of right and wrong.
Gao Jie waited until he returned to the restaurant, and as soon as he sat down, he heard Shen Jiuling say: "Why did Brother Hou leave without saying hello?!"
Gao Jie walked into the restaurant and found that the three foreign guests who had not gone out to see the excitement had left, and when he was thinking about it, he heard Shen Jiuling's question, and immediately replied coldly: "As far as you have a lot of things, I have already said along the way, keep a low profile, don't make trouble, aren't you a fish?!"
Shen Jiuling shouted dissatisfiedly: "Where did I cause trouble, the one who started to cause trouble is obviously ... ”
Gao Jie didn't wait for her to finish, and interrupted her: "If you are louder, don't you let everyone notice you?!"
Shen Jiuling looked around, and saw that many of the remaining guests looked over, angry and annoyed, but she didn't dare to say anything more, so she had to pout and sulk.
Seeing this, Ji Longfeng glared at Gao Jie, and then began to comfort Shen Jiuling.
Gao Jie was in a depressed mood and beckoned everyone to hurry up and eat so that they could continue on their way.
For Ji Longfeng's enthusiasm, Shen Jiuling still gave a good face, and naturally scolded Gao Jie in her heart. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, frowned, and couldn't help but ask Ji Longfeng in a low voice: "Why does Gao Jie's stinky boy say that I am a fish?
Ji Longfeng has been following Gao Jie for a long time, and he has long been familiar with his strange language and vocabulary, so he naturally knows what it means. But he was worried that saying it would make Shen Jiuling even more annoyed, so he had to play haha, saying that Gao Jie was talking nonsense and didn't know what to do.
Shen Jiuling Bingxue is smart, seeing that Ji Longfeng is weird and weird, where is she willing to believe it, it is not good to speak out at this moment and directly question Gao Jie, she is so aggrieved that she can't eat a mouthful of food.
Gao Jie's ears were sharp, and he had already heard her question, and he was amused in his heart, and his mood suddenly improved. Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, he called Xiao Er to settle the bill and went out first.
Shen Jiuling waited for Gao Huang to go, pulled Brother Dong and asked, "Sister Brother Dong, what does Gao Jie mean when he said that I am a fish?"
Brother Dong almost burst out happy, and hurriedly covered his mouth and laughed, saying that he didn't know. Seeing that Shen Jiuling was pitiful, the little nun Huijing couldn't bear it, so she whispered in her ear: "Xiaojie spoke strangely tightly, he said that you belong to a fish, in fact, it means that you have a bad memory, just now I was impulsive, and I don't remember the advice to act in a low-key manner!"
Shen Jiuling still didn't understand, and asked, "What does this bad memory have to do with fish?"
The little nun Hui Jing smiled bitterly: "According to Xiaojie, fish only have the memory of time in the blink of an eye!"
Shen Jiuling muttered: "Does the fish really only have the memory of time in the blink of an eye?How does he know?" Then he thought that Gao Jie's words just now were sarcastic that he had no memory like a fish, and suddenly shouted: "Dead Gao Jie, this girl has a very good memory, you are a fish, no, you are a cockroach, a mosquito... He shouted as he chased him out of the restaurant.
When everyone saw this, they all looked at each other and shook their heads, and walked out of the restaurant crying and laughing.
The group left Qinglong Town, and soon saw King Hou leading a horse waiting beside the official road.
Seeing that everyone was coming, King Hou hurriedly came to Gao Jiema, bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "The last general is reckless, and he will make trouble without his approval, please atone for your sins!"
Gao Jie said lightly: "It's good that the general knows his mistakes, there is still some time to go to Yongping Mansion this way, I hope the general will not make his own decisions again." However, the general left on his own afterwards and joined us here, leaving aside our relations, but it was handled very well!"
Seeing that Gao Jie did not blame, his attitude was not as cordial as before, and he was worried in his heart, and he didn't dare to defend himself at the moment, so he got on the horse after confessing his guilt and followed the team honestly.
The group walked and stopped, and in the evening they saw a village in the distance. The village is not large, with only a dozen scattered grass huts, and it looks very desolate in the wilderness. However, at the end of the village, you can see a courtyard of a small scale, there are not many houses in that courtyard, but there is a three-story small building, the small building is green tile cornice, slender and exquisite, standing in the evening sunset, like a woman with a slender figure in the sunset.
Wang Rui urged the horse to come to Gao Jie's side, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Jie, when you arrive at Dawangjiazhuang in front, that small building is the Moon Viewing Pavilion!"
Gao Jie's eyes lit up, he bowed his head slightly, and also lowered his voice and said: "Second brother, this place is very important to our trip to Luanzhou, and we can't make a difference, you go and say hello to everyone first, and be careful! Of course, you must not let Hou Wang and Jiu'er girl notice!"
Wang Rui nodded and said, "I know, it's just that Miss Jiu'er doesn't understand the situation, I'm a little worried about her safety, and I'm even more afraid that she will ruin our plan under her recklessness!"
Gao Jie rode his horse slowly, staring at the Moon Viewing Pavilion shining in the sunset, and said in a deep voice: "I hope that the big head is beautiful, don't get dizzy, just forget his task!"
When Wang Rui heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "The big head is emotional, it's really hard to say! Don't worry, I will be optimistic about him!"
Soon, the group came to the entrance of Dawangzhuang Village. Gao Jie turned around and said loudly: "It's not early, let's stay here tonight!"
As soon as his words fell, he heard Shen Jiuling also say loudly: "This place is deserted and simple, dirty, how can people live?!"
Seeing Shen Jiuling objecting again, Gao Jie was not surprised at all, and said lightly: "Miss, your body is expensive, not like me and other people in the rivers and lakes, coarse tea and light rice, and sleeping in the open, no wonder!
Shen Jiuling snorted and said, "What are you talking nonsense? Why am I so expensive, why am I different from you?
Gao Jie smiled and said: "Okay! Even if I am the son of a gentleman, I am going to stay in this small village today, and feel the hard life of the poor middle peasants, I don't know if you dare to be a girl of Jiu'er?"
Shen Jiuling was provoked by Gao Jie, and immediately said: "You can do it, how can I not do it?!"
"OK!" Gao Jie snapped his fingers and said, "Then it's decided, don't stand it anymore when the time comes, crying and playing tricks!"
Shen Jiuling grimaced at Gao Jie's back and said, "Hmph!
Everyone laughed and followed Gao Jie into the village.
Shen Jiuling walked and walked, and suddenly felt that something was not right, and muttered: "I was originally going to oppose living in this village, why did I agree in a daze?"
Ji Longfeng smiled and said sympathetically: "Miss Jiu'er, it's not that you are not smart, but that the enemy is too cunning. You and Gao Jie are fighting back and forth, that's a waste of energy, why bother?"
Shen Jiuling glared at him and said, "What are you talking about?!I won't be able to fight him?!Let's see!" After saying that, he snorted and patted the horse away.
Ji Longfeng hurriedly followed, and sighed in his heart: "Everyone knows that arguing with Gao Zi is a humiliation, Jiu'er girl, how can you understand?"
Hou Wang, who fell at the end of the line, didn't care about the conversation between Ji Longfeng and Jiu'er girl at all, he was looking at the three-story building at the end of the village with a complicated expression at the moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
