Chapter 125 Promise
Now that the matter was exposed, the three gangsters knew that they were stealing chickens this time, even if it was true, the officials would not punish them lightly for this.

Instead of pleading guilty and being punished, it is better to fight and escape to ask Cao for more money.As long as they leave Yingzhou, the sky is high and the sea is wide, how can they not let the three brothers settle down?

The three of them had a tacit understanding, the big gangster looked at each other, and the second gangster and the third gangster knew what to do next.

"Drink!" The big gangster yelled, twisted his left arm, and took off his arm, and then rolled his body along with the trend, breaking free from the soldiers who were holding him.

The second gangster and the third gangster did the same thing, gaining freedom of the body at the cost of one arm.

After the three broke free, they all took out the gleaming daggers from their arms and waved them towards the crowd!

Suddenly, Wu Yi was almost terrified, and roared angrily: "Seize the traitor!!!"

While giving the order to the soldiers, he drew out his saber and stood between the old man and the gangsters, lest the three gangsters would suddenly turn around.

Faster than the soldiers and Wu Yi was Xiaoxun. Almost the moment the three gangsters twisted their arms, he sensed something was wrong, and stepped forward to protect Xiaoruo behind him.

When the gangsters pulled out their daggers, he flew towards the three of them like a petrel flying low over the sea.

I saw him tap the ground with his right foot to use his left foot to kick the big gangster's heart, and at the same time he slapped the second gangster and the third gangster with a palm on the knife-holding hand.

After the three screams, there were three jingling sounds of metal falling to the ground, and the three gangsters were shot down with their weapons at the same time.

Not giving the three of them a chance to pick up the dagger again, Xiaoxun swept them down and tripped them all face to the ground, slamming their brains on the hard ground, and the three of them fell unconscious on the spot.

All this happened too fast, as if between lightning and flint.

"Good skill!" The old man gave a resounding applause to wake up the stunned people.

The witnessing crowd burst into applause.

"It's amazing! I didn't even realize it!"

"Is that light work? It's the first time I've seen people run so fast!"

Amidst the people's applause, the soldiers stepped forward, tied up the three people who were like dead dogs on the ground, and escorted them to Wu Yi to wait for him to deal with.

The thick armor was full of cold sweat from fright, Wu Yi couldn't imagine if the weapons of these three people hurt the old man...

He turned around and was about to kneel down to apologize to the old man. Before he could bend his knees, the middle-aged man with thin skin and white face took a step forward, holding Wu Yi's arm with both hands.

"General Wu." He only said these three words, and nodded slightly with his eyelids down.

The Wu family has been guarding the king for generations, and they are accurate in certain matters. Wu Yi naturally understands what the middle-aged man means.

He stood up straight again, and said in a low voice: "Wu Yi understands, Xie Gong... Gongye."

After taking two steps back, he turned to face Xiaoxun and bowed his hands, "Brother Xiaoxun, you saved me again, Wu Yi will never forget it."

Xiaoxun didn't know what to thank for this. He didn't act for Wu Yi, but these three gangsters intended to frame Xinli Cordyceps and smear Xiaoruo. He couldn't let them escape punishment like this.

He bowed his hand in return, then pointed to the three people whose upper body was being dragged by the soldiers, and said, "I hope Master Wu can make a judgment according to the law and give us justice."

Before Wu Yi could answer, the old man and the middle-aged man first made a promise, "Don't worry, evil people will be rewarded with evil, and they will get the punishment they deserve."

The old man walked in a regular manner, walked up to Xiaoxun in a few steps without hurrying, and looked up and down the young man in front of him, "Your name is Xiaoxun? You are a general."

While being sized up, Xiao Xun was also observing the old man. His complexion was ruddy, his steps were steady, and he didn't look old at all. His speech and demeanor unconsciously revealed the strength of a superior. It seemed that the identity of the old man was not simple.

Xiaoruo at the side also saw some clues, fearing that Xiaoxun's silence would upset the old man, she came out to smooth things over, "Lord Wu, you two gentlemen, it's windy and cold outside, why don't you come and talk in our shop, my Cordyceps boil Tea also has a special flavor."

After saying this, she secretly observed that after the old man nodded first, Wu Yi and the middle-aged man followed the old man half a step into the shop.

Sighing in her heart, she had already guessed the identity of the old man pretty well.

When a group of people entered the Xinli Cordyceps Specialty Store, Xiao Ruo set up the earthenware stove, took three glass bottles from the shelf, and prepared to make Cordyceps tea.

There is a tea table in the front hall for guests to rest on weekdays. Now only Xiao Xun, Xiao Ruo and the old man are sitting beside the table. Zheng Dongyang goes back to the counter to look through the account books, while Wu Yi and the middle-aged man stand behind the old man.

With great interest, Xiao Ruo took out the Cordyceps and put them in the terracotta pot. The old man asked, "Is this Cordyceps? Can I still make tea?"

Xiao Ruo kept moving her hands, and replied: "The old man is well-informed, this is Cordyceps, it was bought by our Qinzhou Pharmaceutical Chamber of Commerce from Qiang and Fan."

Pour out a cup of Cordyceps tea and hand it to the old man. "Cordyceps sinensis is brewed directly as tea, which can improve the body's absorption efficiency of the beneficial ingredients in Cordyceps."

The middle-aged man stepped forward and was about to take out the silver needle from his pocket, but was stopped by the old man, "Don't disappoint, it's just troublesome for you, and you have to test it after drinking a glass of water."

The rejected middle-aged man put the silver needle back into his arms with a smile, and stepped back half a step back behind the old man.

Lifting the teacup, the old man sipped slowly, "Mmm...it's really delicious..."

After he praised Xiaoruo, his eyes turned to Xiaoxun again.

"Xiaoxun...um...if it wasn't for the different surnames, I would have thought you were the Gu family."

Gu?Hearing his surname, Xiao Xun's heart moved.

The old man squinted his eyes, and his eyes were a little empty, as if he was looking at someone in nothingness. "You really look like a person I know. He was like you when he was young, and he was very skilled."

The state of emptiness was only for a short moment, and the old man regained his clarity, "But he is better than you. He is brave, tenacious, passionate, keeps his promise, and full of loyalty...Even if he only met me once, he still abides by his promise." My promise for dozens of years."

As if recalling the scene when the man made a promise at the beginning, the old man showed a nostalgic smile on his face, then shook his head and said: "But that guy is probably trying to make a grandchild, time waits for no one, and I can't wait for you in a blink of an eye." and he is old..."

The hand holding the teacup was so hard that the fingertips turned white, Xiao Xun desperately restrained his voice so as not to show any flaws: "Is the person you...are talking about General Gu Jingzhong?"

"Oh? You also know Jingzhong?" The old man opened his eyes slightly, and then smiled slightly, "That's right, you must have heard of Gu Baihu's name when you went to the northern border to buy medicinal materials."

Gu Baihu, Gu General, Gu Jingzhong.The person the old man said was indeed his father!
Xiaoxun didn't know what to say for a while, his mind was turning a thousand times.

He guessed the identity of the old man in front of him. This kind-faced old man is the current Holy One.

He always thought that his father had been guarding Mobei for decades, and he was devoted to opening up the territory for the Holy Lord. This loyalty was just his father's self-impression and obsession. No one in the distant Yingzhou would remember this general of a hundred families.

So it turned out to be a promise...
