The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 51
The wind blows across the hillside, and the white flags of the new tombs are hunting and flying.

The screams in the distance and the sound of swords and soldiers clashing continued to be heard. The figure dragging a knife in the moonlight froze for a moment, and then laughed hoarsely.

'hehe.'

"Okay!" Gao Jun nodded and said, looking around, there was a lonely tomb with white banners floating, and a lonely tree on a steep slope swaying in the night wind, and there was nothing else.

"Then I want to see what kind of decent way to die, let the ambush come out!"

Seeing that the other party slowed down, Geng Qing felt relieved, but if he really wanted to talk about ambush, he could only delay the time so that Tang Baoer over there noticed this, or wait until An Jingsi caught up. Water cannot put out a near fire.

He smiled, flicked his sleeves left and right, got up and put his hands behind his back, he took a step hard with trembling feet under the hem of his robe, and then walked out with a second step, and glanced at the burly man who was five or six steps away. Body, turned and walked to the edge of the steep slope.

"Either you will die tonight, or I will die, but sooner or later, I just have a question, I want to ask County Captain Gao."

Gao Jun glared at him, and Dachun, who was clutching his stomach, squinted over: "What are you asking?"

"I would like to ask." Geng Qing folded his hands, looked at the gradually quiet fighting more than ten feet away, paused in his tone, turned his face slightly, and met his gaze.

".Why did you kill me?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Over there, Gao Jun leaned on the horizontal knife in his hand, and laughed angrily, "Why did you kill you? You killed my brother and ruined my foundation." At this point, he raised his hand and pointed at the young man, his voice raised, and he almost screamed with all his strength. : "How can I not kill you—"

Geng Qing looked at him sideways, nodded calmly: "That makes sense."

Turning around, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on the hands on his back. He smiled and approached the other party, "County Gao, I will give Master Gao the way to make money, and the merits of the mine. Is it wrong to have a good relationship? I let the people of Gengjia Village earn more money, and it didn’t hurt your interests, so why do you want to invade because you are so powerful?”

"Gengjia Village, the folk customs are simple and kind-hearted. When I was seriously ill, the villagers were willing to lend me money to see a doctor; when my father hurt his leg, they helped cultivate the fields. My family owes their kindness to their neighbors. How can they still be bullied? Taking away their hope is no different from humiliating my parents? Then, is it justified for me to kill Chief Gao?"

"rational!"

Gao Jun squeezed the handle of the knife tightly, raised his hand to wipe off the blood on his face, gritted his teeth and repeated, "That's right!"

Squeezing out a voice, he stepped forward, and over there, Dachun grabbed the hammer and rushed over.

"Dachun! Back off!"

Geng Qing stared at the approaching Gao Jun, and yelled coldly at the rushing big man. Geng Dachun, who had rushed two steps forward, had to stop. With a burly figure, he paused every word: "Your brother, you actually killed him!"

"I killed it?"

Gao Jun stopped in his tracks, his expression froze for a moment, and he grinned grinningly, "Oh, thank you for saying it."

"I can't say it. You can kill it. You'll know if you hear it or not." Geng Qing was desperate, speaking slowly, staring at the figure who had raised the knife in front of him, and took a step closer, "You Traffickers go to Khitan, you need competent people, don’t you? Wanting to lure me into the gang, you need all kinds of temptations, and came up with the business on the mine road.
Speaking of which, the two of you and I are not in conflict with each other. I live happily in my Gengjia Village. If it weren't for this temptation from you, how could I do it, and how could Gang Leader Gao be assassinated and die?I didn't kill people, you killed your brother, you ruined your foundation, I'm here!It's just a hand on your behalf! "

"Nonsense!"

Gao Junhu who was standing there glared angrily, took a step and almost touched Geng Qing, and slashed with the horizontal knife raised high, "I'll cut you off right now—"

"Cut it!" Geng Qing glared at him and almost roared out, patting himself on the neck vigorously: "Chop here! You are disloyal because of your love for the Khitan family and no country; you trafficked my Han compatriots to the barbarians To be a slave is to be ashamed of one's ancestors, which is unfilial; to rob people's wealth and bully a good family is to be unkind; to kill a younger brother for one's own desire is unrighteous!"

The roaring sound resounded through the hillsides and tombs. Geng Qing, with red eyes, took another step closer and pressed his fingers on Gao Jun's chest: "Today I was killed by you, an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, unrighteous person. People say it, but your body has no bones, your body will be dismembered by those who hate you, and you will feed on wild dogs, and you will die without a single inscription or even a pile of dirt!"

"County Gao."

Geng Qing exhaled heavily, pointed to the lonely tomb over there, "Master Gao, he is still lying there watching you."

In the distance, there are many torches at the city gate, and a "fire dragon" is formed. The sound of footsteps and horseshoes spreads, and the leading knight rushed up the gentle slope with a long spear.

In the convoy fighting more than ten feet away, the sound of weapons clashing had quieted down. Tang Baoer hung his sword and saw three people confronting each other on the hillside in the distance as they walked past corpses everywhere.

'Swish'

The lone tree swayed and danced slowly with the night wind, the horizontal knife held above his head slowly lowered, blood was still flowing on his cheeks in the messy bun, Gao Jun stared blankly at the young man in front of him, then slowly turned his head, looked at the The fighting stopped at the side, and An Jingsi, Yamen arresters, and soldiers were chasing them.

'Unfaithful and unfilial. Unkind and unrighteous'

"County Lieutenant, the general situation is over." Geng Qing said softly, "The night is already deep, and the road is still easy to walk under the moonlight."

'Hehe. Go? '

Gao Jun lowered his knife, suddenly laughed lightly, dragged the blade and staggered past, looked at the tomb with Gao Sheng's name on the standing tombstone, raised his face, his laughter suddenly amplified.

"Hahaha--"

"You won!"

Eyes blurred by blood were staring straight at the clear moon in the night sky, and with a shrill cry of "Ah--", he raised his hand suddenly, and pulled the horizontal knife from his neck.

puff!
The standing tombstone was splashed with a line of blood, and the shoulder of the figure under the moonlight fell obliquely across the blade, and the blood-stained horizontal blade fell to the side of the body.

Call ~
Under the cold moonlight, Geng Qing's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he sat down on the low stool. At this time, the sound of horseshoes came from below, and he saw two people not far from the tree, and the donkey cart, An Jing Si also heaved a sigh of relief, thrust his long spear into the ground with a bang, jumped off the horse and approached quickly.

"Brother Geng, what's the matter with you? That high thief."

"Dead, over there!" Geng Qing pointed back to the tomb over there, An Jingsi saw that the two of them were fine, and walked over, "Kill yourself?"

"What self-defeating, he was killed by those assassins!"

Geng Qing thought of something, took out the dagger from his arms, dragged his numb legs over, stained the wound of the corpse with some blood on the front, threw it on the corpse, and kicked the horizontal knife away .

"Brother Geng, why are you doing this?" An Jingsi frowned.

"People can't be killed by you and me." Geng Qing pointed to the arresters and soldiers who were chasing over there, approached him a little, and said in a low voice: "Officials don't like to commit crimes. The crime should be death, and it cannot be said that we killed him, otherwise, they would not say anything, but they would be against us in their hearts. It happened to plant the blame on the gang of assassins, anyway, it was what they wanted, and the county magistrate of Feihu County The position, you are determined, don't pay too much attention to the gains and losses of a little merit, the county lord can get another merit, and can also issue a wanted assassin with a reward, everyone is happy, don't mess things up."

After speaking, he patted An Jingsi's chest, said another sentence, and turned to leave.

"Here I leave it to you, and the backbone of the Golden Knife Gang who participated in this incident and survived, are all thrown into prison, or let them shut up forever, I want to go back to the bunk and sleep, I'm so fucking exhausted personal."

The 'Fire Dragon' stretched over, and Geng Qing waved to a group of arresting officers and soldiers who came up to indicate An Jingsi's side, and then called Dachun, who was holding a hammer in a daze, to drive downhill and stop by to see the convoy.

Sure enough, as soon as the people from the yamen came, the four of Tang Baoer had already left, leaving only a field of corpses, and five carriages were parked there. The woman, seeing the Gongmen uniform, was still a little scared. After a while, they burst into tears one by one, making the eye sockets of the rescued arresters and soldiers turn red.

In the wilderness, the wind blew the woman's mournful cry for a long time.

Geng Qing looked at it for a while, then went back into the donkey cart, and just stepped on one foot, the robe suddenly tightened, turned around, and saw a girl in plain white dress pulling him with red eyes. The rescued woman looked much cleaner.

"You are." Geng Qing felt a little familiar, and lifted up the scattered strands of hair on the girl's forehead. It was the girl he stayed at that night, and gently patted her hand, "Don't be afraid, you have been saved, you can now." back home."

The girl's hand was pulled away by Geng Qing, and she quickly stretched it out to hold her. She kept shaking her head but didn't speak. When the identity is found, ask her parents to come and take her back."

"That's all right, that's all."

Here, as soon as Geng Qing finished speaking, the girl had already rolled onto the back of the truck and shrank in a corner.

"Hehe."

Smiling helplessly with the yamen servant, Geng Qing got into the cart, told the girl to sit still, and asked Da Chun to go back to the blacksmith shop to make do for the night.

squeak~~
The shaft of the chariot groaned and turned, and the green donkey took small steps to pull the cart and gradually drove away from this side, crying and noisy. On the way to the city gate, Geng Qing also asked the woman's name, where she lived, and her parents, etc. The girl didn't speak, and when she arrived at the city gate, in the light of the torch, she saw her huddled in the corner of the carriage and had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Geng Qing stroked her hair, sat back with a smile, and chatted with Dachun who was driving without saying a word.

".Before, why didn't you run?"

"What are you running for? I don't know about you yet. You dare to sit there without moving. It must be arranged later. Naturally, I won't be afraid."

"Hehe. Then you are really smart."

"That's right, my father always praises me for being smart."

"Hehe, how dare you hit him with a hammer?"

"Didn't he let him smash it? I have never seen such a request in my life."

"Ha ha!"

The axle turned, and the sound of chatting and laughing followed the donkey cart driving through the long street, the vast water mist, and the dim yellow lanterns on the street, without end.
