At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 3 Avalokitesvara Maid

Surrounded by dense reeds, this open lake is about half the size of a football field, but there are five small boats confronting each other, and three of the boats are full of vicious men, but the weapons in their hands are similar to those of a football field. Their looks are generally crooked, and one of them is actually carrying a rusty dung fork, which shows that this group of robbers is really doing well!

On the other hand, the people on the other two bows, although few in number, were neatly dressed, and the standard horizontal swords shone coldly in the sun. The middle-aged man in the lead even held a pair of exquisite horn bows, which were obviously valuable, and the equipment crushed them. The thieves on the opposite side.

I saw the corpses of three bandits floating on the water, all of them were shot in the throat with an arrow, and their necks were pierced through, and they couldn't die anymore.Obviously, the middle-aged man with the bow is very good at archery. He fired three arrows in a row and all of them pierced the throat with one arrow!
The bandits were obviously also intimidated by the opponent's fierce arrow skills. Although there were so many people, they did not dare to attack them together, let alone turn around and run away. He didn't dare to start it rashly, so the two sides were in a stalemate.

Gao Bufan looked carefully from a distance, and saw a little girl on the bow of the pirate ship blocking the exit of the waterway, being guarded by two robbers, about eleven or twelve years old, born in pink and jade, with bright eyes and kind eyes, very lovely, clearly still A little girl.

Little Loli didn't know whether she was frightened into a fool, or she was very nervous. Although the knife was resting on her neck, she didn't cry or make a fuss. She sat quietly with her knees hugged, looking dignified and well-bred!

At this time, the little fat man's eldest grandson Wuji also arrived, and when he saw the middle-aged man holding a bow, he immediately shouted in surprise: "Father, my son is here to help you!" After speaking, he drove the boat over.

The middle-aged man with the bow was Changsun Wuji's father, Changsun Sheng. He nodded approvingly at Changsun Wuji, but a scribe with a sword on the other side of the boat blamed him, "Wuji, why are you running away?" coming?"

Changsun Wuji blushed and lowered his head: "Uncle, my son is really worried about Guanyin's maidservant."

"Nonsense, aren't you adding to the chaos?" the sword-wielding scribe reprimanded.

But Changsun Sheng waved his hand: "It's rare that my son has such courage. Now that he's here, let him exercise for a while. Shilian doesn't have to blame him."

The sword-wielding literati's name was Gao Jian, his surname was Shilian, he was from a prominent Gao family in Bohai, and he was the wife and brother of Chang Sun Sheng. Hearing this, he could only smile bitterly and said, "Brother, you are too indulgent."

"On the contrary, I just hope that Wuji can grow up quickly." Changsun Sheng coughed twice after speaking, and a sickly flush appeared on his slightly pale face.

Gao Shilian hesitated to speak, but he glanced at the anxious eldest grandson Wuji, and finally chose to remain silent.

At this moment, the two boats of bandits chasing after them also sailed into the lake, while the three boats of bandits confronting Changsun Sheng and the others cheered loudly, shouting: "Big boss!"

Gao Bufan's heart moved, and he fixed his eyes, and he saw a majestic man standing majestically on the bow of the boat, wearing a sleeveless girdle on his upper body, showing two muscular arms, and carrying a shining ghost on his shoulder. With a big knife on his head and long hair dancing wildly in the wind, he is very domineering.

"Young master, this guy should be the leader of the bandit, Zhang Jincheng, nicknamed Jinyaju, and there is a picture of him wanted on the gate of the city. If you catch him and turn him over to the county government, you will be rewarded with 200 taels of silver." Gao Ren swallowed greedily. Swallow.

"That's a flower of life." Gao Shou said with a fearful face: "It is said that this bastard led people to slaughter Wangpo Village, and even the babies under the full moon were not spared, it's not as good as a beast!"

At this time, the bandit leader at the bow suddenly turned his head and looked this way, his eyes seemed fierce and real, Gao Shou and Gao Ren's faces turned pale instantly, and Gao Bufan's heart trembled slightly, did he hear that?

Just when Gao Bufan was suspicious, the bandit leader actually grinned ferociously, revealing two big golden teeth, raised his left hand, wiped his neck, and laughed arrogantly!

Gao Bufan was secretly surprised, the bandit leader Zhang Jin said he didn't know how good at martial arts, but his hearing was quite strong, he could hear what Gao Shou said in a low voice even from a long distance away!
The leader of the bandit, Zhang Jin, said that he obviously didn't take Gao Bufan's master and servant seriously. After threatening, he left a thief boat to block the entrance of the lake, and then approached Changsun Sheng and the others, probably planning to take care of Changsun first. Sheng, then clean up the insignificant fish and shrimp like Gao Bufan.

Let's say the bandit leader Zhang Jin said that he was approaching with the boat, and surrounded Changsun Sheng, Gao Shilian and others with the other three pirate boats. However, when he saw the floating corpses of the three bandits on the lake, his expression darkened instantly, and he asked sternly. Said: "Who killed Laozi?"

"I killed this general." Changsun Sheng said calmly, although his tone was calm, there was a generally tough aura.

Zhang Jin said with a fierce look in his eyes, and said with a sneer, "Nowadays there are so many who call themselves generals, who are you?"

Gao Shilian scolded angrily: "You dog thief, you blinded your dog's eyes, robbed you and hit the head of General You Xiaowei. You really don't know how to live or die. If you are sensible, let your subordinates release immediately, otherwise when the imperial army arrives, you will surely be defeated. Chicken pool!"

Zhang Jincheng blurted out, "Could it be that you are the elder Sun Sheng who kills two birds with one stone?"

Changsun Sheng may not be as famous as Changsun Wuji in later generations, but in the Sui Dynasty, Changsun Sheng was a well-known big man, the core figure of the Changsun family, and was highly valued by the two emperors of the Sui Dynasty. The ingenious plan of "weakness" divided and disintegrated the Turks, and the Sui Dynasty was able to withdraw to unify the country and quickly became stronger.

Changsun Sheng is very skilled in martial arts, especially good at riding and archery, and his arrow skills are like gods. During his mission to Turkic, he once shot down two big eagles with one arrow in front of Turkic Shabolue Khan, which shocked everyone. This is also an idiom The source of the allusion of "killing two birds with one stone".

"Thief, since you know how powerful my father is, why don't you let my sister go right away, or you will die without a place to bury you." Changsun Wuji shouted with a sullen face.

The robbers couldn't help showing anger, and Zhang Jin said he was also unhappy, if he hadn't been intimidated by the reputation of Changsun Sheng's arrow, he would have killed this little fat man who was even more arrogant than him.

"Bah, you're crazy, believe it or not, I'm going to kill your sister right now!" A bandit with a crooked mouth lifted little Lori up, and pointed a dagger at her lower abdomen.

Little Lolita was so frightened that her little face turned pale, tears rolled in her eyes, but she tried her best not to cry.Changsun Wuji was startled and angry, he bent his bow but dared not shoot, for fear of hurting his sister, he stomped his feet anxiously!

"Brother, I'm fine, don't worry, just listen to Daddy!" Little Lolita actually started to comfort her eldest grandson Wuji.

Changsun Wuji was both ashamed and distressed, his father always said that he should be calm in every big event, alas, he was not even as good as his sister in this regard.

Holding the long sword in his hand, Gao Shilian said nervously: "Don't be afraid Wugou, uncle will definitely rescue you."

"Wugou?" A flash of inspiration flashed in Gao Bufan's mind, and he almost blurted out, "Damn it, eldest grandson Wugou?"Is Tang Taizong Li Shimin's eldest grandson Wugou?Could this little loli be...?
Although Gao Bufan doesn't study history, how can he not know Tang Taizong Li Shimin? Changsun Wugou is also a very famous empress in history. No wonder the name Changsun Wuji is so familiar. He is the first of the 24 heroes in Lingyan Pavilion.

At this time, Zhang Sun Sheng finally spoke, staring at Zhang Jincheng and said word by word: "Let the little girl go, this general told you to leave, and I will not pursue this matter any more."

Zhang Jin said that he was secretly angry. Of course he didn't want to offend a powerful figure like Changsun Sheng. After all, with his current strength, if the imperial court dispatched heavy troops to suppress it, he would definitely not be able to resist, but Changsun Sheng's condescending tone really made him uncomfortable. , Moreover, if he backs down at this point, his prestige in the hearts of the brothers will inevitably be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to lead the team in the future.

Therefore, Zhang Jincheng arched his hands and said: "General Changsun, a certain Zhang Jin said, I respect you as a hero. If you knew in advance that the boat passing by the forecastle on the canal was taken by your family, you would certainly have done nothing wrong, but as the saying goes Thieves don’t go empty-handed, there are rules on the road, if you want a certain family to release someone, you can redeem it with 3000 taels of silver, and in this way, the certain family will also have an answer to the brothers.”

Changsun Cheng frowned. It's not like he couldn't afford to pay 3000 taels of silver, but if the news got out, not only his grandson's family would lose face, but also the imperial court. Moreover, with Sui Emperor Yang Guang's temperamental, narrow-minded and suspicious mind, Maybe he will be punished!

However, Changsun Sheng pondered for a while, and finally decided to pay the ransom to save the person first. He said in a deep voice, "Okay, but you must release him immediately. Three days later, this general will order someone to bring 3000 taels of silver here."

"The rule in our way is to deliver with one hand, and with one hand to deliver." The second master, Sun Yan, sneered.

Zhang Jin waved his hands generously and said: "No need, a certain family trusts General Changsun, so it's okay to release him first, but a certain family has a good word to say to General Changsun."

"This general is respectful!"

Zhang Jincheng said with emotion: "Yang Guang was brutal and immoral, he resorted to military force, expropriated and extorted money, so that the people in the world were destitute, and ten houses were empty. Last year, there was a severe drought in Shandong, and this year's floods were raging. There was no grain harvest. In this way, Yang Guang also issued an edict to recruit 2 million civilians to go to Korea. As the so-called officials forced the people to rebel, and now there are people raising the flag of righteousness against the Sui Dynasty. General Changsun is a hero. Why continue to assist Yang Guang, a foolish king? , Raising troops to punish the people and punish crimes, we are willing to follow the general to do great things together, with the general's ability, there will be great achievements."

"Hahaha!" Changsun Sheng laughed, pointed at Zhang Jin and reprimanded him sternly, "Little thief, if you dare to speak wild words, it's up to you, are you worthy?"
