The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 45
"Dachun, stop ahead."

On the blue long street, the donkey cart coming slowly slowed down and stopped at the side of the street. Hearing the woman's questioning words, Geng Qing had no trouble in his eyes, and just got off the cart with a slight smile.

"It's quite a coincidence."

He came down with a smile, and cupped his hands with his habitual sleeves, "Aren't you going to plan your assassination, and just ran here and waited?"

In the dark alley, there were two or three silhouettes. The silhouettes should be men. The woman at the alley subconsciously covered the three people behind her with her body, staring at the smiling young man in front of her.

"Let me ask you, is all the business done on the mine road taken by the Golden Knife Gang?"

Geng Qing nodded.

"Yes, let them take it."

"you!"

"Don't look at me like that."

Geng Qing waved his hand, turned around and asked Dachun to bring the low stool of the cart and put it in front of the woman, lifted the hem of his robe and sat down: "People need to know how to be flexible, I told you before, do you really want to bring a group of The villagers are on fire with a gang that kills without blinking an eye? Even if you add the four of you together, it’s not enough for them to kill you.”

"Help the evildoer!"

"Don't be so quick to draw conclusions." After she said this, Geng Qing was still smiling, raised her hand to interrupt the woman's next words, "But you should know one thing, I never suffer, by the way, you If you still want to assassinate, I will give you a chance."

Originally, the three men in the alley saw that this man moved a low stool and sat at the entrance of the alley. He was a little uncomfortable with the tone of a private school teacher lecturing the students. They were about to come out when they heard the word 'opportunity', and they stopped immediately, wanting to say something. The words were held back abruptly, quietly waiting for him to continue.

"Some things, I can't guarantee, but at least two days, more than ten days at most, your things will turn around. Make good use of this free time, recharge your energy and make more preparations. Well, it's almost time, It’s not good to say more.”

The sky gradually brightened, and there were voices on the street. Geng Qing got up and picked up the stool and put it in the truck. Tang Baoer was a little confused by his words for a moment. Seeing that he was about to leave, he quickly caught up with him.

"You stayed overnight at the Golden Knife Gang. What are you going to do? There will be a turning point in two or ten days?"

Geng Qing, who flipped into the car and sat down, was silent for a moment, and told Dachun to drive away, and on the shaft of the car that was slowly turning away, the young man's voice came to the four people in Xiangzi.

"The sky is boundless, and the world is impermanent. It's best to believe it. It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, because you have been doing this for so long and there is no result. It is conceivable, ha ha."

The wheel car went to the end, and Tang Baoer was left speechless. When he arrived, he stomped his feet angrily, and was persuaded by the three people behind him to retreat into the alley.

In fact, she didn't stay here on purpose, but came to observe the terrain with the elders in the sect, looking for a suitable ambush location. When it was about to dawn, she saw Geng Qing coming out of the Golden Knife Gang's garrison in a donkey cart. He came forward to question some things he had heard before.

The sound of creaking and creaking the shaft of the car going away, Geng Qing put his hands on both sides of the car body and swayed with the car body, but his smile was even wider, the way of provocativeness was really useful to that Tang girl.

"Dazhu, we are so close to the Golden Knife Gang, will the villagers dislike us? Recently, everyone stopped talking when they saw you."

When Dachun drove the green donkey back, in the corner of his eyes, the young man who was pillowed on the edge of the cart looked at the gradually bustling street scene, and narrowed his eyes slightly with a smile on his face.

"They'll figure it out soon enough."

The sun broke through the clouds and filled the streets and alleys. The neighbors who went out greeted each other and fetched water to wash. In the noise that gradually rose in the city, Tang Baoer silently followed the three uncles. raised his face.

"Uncle Eighth, Uncle Ninth, I think what he said is credible."

The three people walking in front were also thinking about this matter in their minds. After all, they knew the young man somewhat, but they were unwilling to act completely like others.

"Since this person said so, there must be a reason, but I only half believe it." Lin Laien glanced at the women around the well fetching water at the far corner, and lowered his voice: "Besides, I have already waited for the plan, the head sent a letter, and the angel of the imperial court was rushing here, trying to kill him on the way, causing chaos, and the yamen already knew the news that the angel was about to arrive, so the high-ranking thief must havetened to seize the mine. At that time, we only need to ambush in a narrow area, and it will have a miraculous effect."

The tone is full of affirmation.

While the four of them were discussing how to get rid of Gao Jun, some people were already thinking of retreating.

Arriving on the donkey cart at the Yamen, Dachun yawned and continued what he had just said, "Soon? How fast is that? It's not just that Miss Tang can't understand, I follow you every day without knowing what you want What?"

Ha ha
Geng Qing turned back, with a chuckle in his mouth: "I was thinking, how can I get down safely after I get to the stage, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble."

Hearing the murmured words, Dachun's head became even more confused, and he quickly flicked his whip and made a 'crack' in the air, driving the green donkey to speed up.

In the following one or two days, Feihu County was still bustling as usual, the weather was calm and nothing happened. Geng Qing worked with the clerks in the yamen, diligently like a student, or stayed in the blacksmith's shop to tinker with things that even blacksmith Wang couldn't understand. thing.

Occasionally, An Jingsi would come over to see how his weapons were being forged, and then he would pull Geng Qing to get annoyed and leave in a hurry.

As for Dachun, he was too close to Widow Zhang, and there were rumors in the village, and the villagers looked at him strangely.

On the afternoon of the second day, in the bustling market, a horse team of 20 people left the city gate. Gao Jun led his confidantes around the western suburbs of the city, followed the passing merchants and went south to the mine.

"Angel is about to enter Flying Fox, and the construction period must be hurry up. If Gao Sheng didn't send a letter today saying that he is ill and cannot come, he can stay there for a few days!"

He looked at the caravans on the flat mining road, and when he was looking for something to say to his confidants around him, his words stopped suddenly, Gao Jun's ears moved, and he vaguely heard something different.

In the field of vision ahead, dense forests spread out on both sides, and there were rustling sounds quietly pressing down on the grass, and a few crouching figures passed through the gaps in the dense grass, staring at the cavalry slowly approaching below, pinching Tighten the weapon in your hand.

A suppressed voice spread in Kusama.

"coming."

"It seems that we can't wait for the time that Geng Qing said, Bao'er, put away the speculation of 'that Geng Qing said'."

"Don't panic, wait for the high thief to come over!"

"Wait, there's the sound of hooves!"

Someone suddenly whispered and pointed to the direction the horse team came from.

below.

Covering the stroking of overlapping branches, Gao Jun rode on his war horse, following the different sounds in the wind, turned his eyes to look at the dense forest, the sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded, and a group of Golden Knife Gang members were riding on horseback. Charged from far and near, waving his whip and shouting.

"County lieutenant!!"

"Gao Sheng's subordinates are looking for me urgently?"

A thought flashed in his mind, he reined in the horse, and after a while, the chasing knight had already arrived.

"What's going on?" "That person doesn't seem to be from the yamen."

"Is there anything to report?"

The suppressed words in the dense forest and grass flowed quietly, and in the eyes of the four, the Golden Knife Gang came galloping on horseback, and said something just like that on the horse's back.

Gao Jun's face changed wildly, he reined in the reins, turned the horse's head around, clamped the horse's belly, and shouted violently: "Go, follow me back!"

The confidantes on the left and right shook the reins and ran wildly after him. The falling horse's hooves immediately blasted the forest floor, and disappeared in the direction they came from in a blink of an eye.

rustling.
The lush vegetation walked out of four figures, someone kicked the stone under their feet fiercely, smashed it against the tree pole in front, and gritted their teeth: "Could it be that the wind is leaking?"

"What happened is weird. If the news leaks out, someone will definitely send someone to search the mountain."

"Today just happens to be the afternoon of the second day." Tang Bao'er, who was next to him, suddenly opened his mouth, looked in the direction of the city, and murmured with his lips: "...he said at least two days, exactly two days."

The surroundings were suddenly silent, the three men looked at each other, and then looked at Feihu County, the smiling figure sitting in the alley that day appeared in his mind, and his face suddenly showed horror.

"Two days ago, he already calculated that something happened today?"

"Go to the city and ask."

The four of them raised their weapons and hurried out of the forest, towards the direction of the city. The sun slanted towards the clouds and poured down the banners with the word "iron". It's been a long time since I held the dagger.

"Thinking?"

"That's it."

Geng Qing played with the half-rusted dagger in his hand, looked at An Jingsi who was puzzled, and smiled: "I feel that this city has been too quiet recently, and there is no possibility that something big will happen."

Soon, the news that the leader of the Golden Knife Gang suddenly fell ill spread throughout the city.
