First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 99
97. Kaohsiung Xianwei
In Ji County, Chang Xianwei sent Zong Luohou away, and appointed the county office servants to escort Liu Wenjing and others to Shanggu. Afterwards, he felt relieved, and then he went to the county office to have sex with prostitutes in public. .

The county magistrate entered the hall with a booklet, and dared not speak out when he saw it, just pretending that he hadn't seen it. "Changxian Lieutenant, how should we pay for the [-] young and strong men who died in Jixian County? The government treasury is already insufficient. Do you want to ask Shangyu to transfer it, and ask Changxian Lieutenant to bring out a charter?" offer.

Obviously the county magistrate is the chief official of Ji County, but he has nothing to do with Chang County Lieutenant, who makes him have a good brother.

Changxian Wei's eyes were dimmed with drunken eyes. He took the booklet and flipped through a few pages. He tore it in half and threw it on the ground. pension?"

When the county magistrate heard it, he was furious, "If there is no compensation at all, how can we appease the people of Ji County."

"It's your county magistrate's duty to appease people's hearts." Chang County Wei slapped the table when he heard the words, stared and scolded: "If you can't appease, then I will ask my brother to find someone who can appease you."

The county magistrate gritted his teeth when he heard the words, and pointed at Chang Xianwei, but he was helpless, but Chang County lieutenant kept his arms around the woman and continued to drink and have fun with all his subordinates with foul language. The county magistrate was displeased, and turned around with a stomp Then he walked, and when he reached the door, he stopped again, "Those three prisoners of the Tang army are of great importance, you only send the yamen servants to escort them, and if something happens, you will be blamed."Then he turned and left.

Changxian Wei was startled when he heard the words, and frowned, as if he remembered what Zong Luohu said before leaving, "If something goes wrong, the two brothers will wait to lose their heads", and he couldn't help feeling a little regretful and uneasy.

At this time, a subordinate under the hall observed his words and expressions, and even raised his glass to respect: "You don't need to worry about the county lieutenant. The three of them are all wearing shackles and chains, and they are loaded into the prison cart. Even if the overlord is reborn, they will not be able to break free. A hundred li is full of official roads, there is no Tang army, and there are no bandits, so it will be fine, those literati are just timid and afraid of getting into trouble."

In fact, Changxian Lieutenant needed such consolation. After hearing these words, he immediately turned his worries into joy, and drank his glass in one gulp. ".

All the subordinates raised their glasses one after another, and the atmosphere was lively.

On an unnamed slope, Kaohsiung struggled to lift a big rock up, wiped the sweat from his brow, panting, "Brothers, that's enough, we'll have to spot it later, but don't hit Liu Sima and the others." .

All the scouts laughed loudly when they heard the words, "If you hit Liu Sima, I'm afraid he will be skinned alive." Liu Wenjing's ruthlessness is extremely well-known in the Tang army. Liu Wenjing is in charge of military law. feelings.

At this time, a person ran up from one side of the hillside quickly, "Commander Gao, they are already three miles away."

Kaohsiung was surprised, "It came so fast", and immediately called a group of scouts to clean up the traces, hiding in the dense forest on the slope.

"Boss, what are we going to do?" A yamen servant quickened his pace in confusion, and caught up with the leader of the yamen servant, "I can arrive at Shangyu at night, so there is no need to hurry."

The team leader was very impatient when he heard the words, "You know what, the Ming government told me before I left that these three people are very important, if something goes wrong, we will all have to pay for our lives." Looking at the sun, he looked anxious, "I don't have any bottom in my heart."

The yamen servant turned pale when he heard the words, "I will lose my life? You have to go quickly", and immediately hurriedly urged loudly: "Brothers, hurry up, if something goes wrong, we will all have to lose our lives."

"You shout a ball," the team leader slapped him and scolded angrily.

Liu Wenjing and the other three were packed in three prison cars. Liu Shirang, Gongsun Wuda and the two were fine, and had a pleasant conversation with the yamen servants along the way, while Liu Wenjing just sat quietly in the prison car, eyes closed and silent.

"I said brother, can you stop for a while, I want it to be convenient." Gongsun Wuda looked at the yamen servant beside the car with a smile on his face.

The yamen servant seemed a little stunned, "What's convenient?"

Gongsun Wuda's face turned black, "It's just peeing."

"You just pee," the yamen servant suddenly realized, pointing to the prison car and said directly.

Gongsun Wuda's smile froze, and he spat and cursed: "Tian Shehan".

Unexpectedly, the yamen servant's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Hey, how do you know that I grow crops?"

Gongsun Wuda took a deep breath, closed his eyes and meditated, and ignored it. He was extremely unconvinced by such a group of people in a prison car and felt that he had been insulted.

The escort team was walking in a hurry, and suddenly heard a loud shout, still in the local accent of Tianshui, "Tang Wang's army has arrived, surrender to avoid death."

As soon as the words fell, ten big stones were thrown from the high slope on the side, and the big stones went straight to the yamen servants and smashed them, killing five or six in an instant.

All the yamen servants were shocked, turned their heads to look, only saw the dusty sky on the high slope, and the sound of shouting and killing came.

Gongsun and Wuda were overjoyed when they saw this, and shouted in unison: "The army of the king of Tang has arrived, surrender and avoid death."

"My mother, there is an ambush." ​​In the past, the yamen servants just wandered around the county, doing some errands such as collecting food, standing in the hall, and escorting them. How could they have the courage to face the army, even worse than the young and strong recruited temporarily.

The head of the yamen servants was also shocked, and hurriedly drew out his waist knife, "Don't...don't panic", but in fact he was panicked.

Behind him, the yamen servant who was the first to ask questions was trembling, and he didn't even draw out his knife, "Squad...Squad leader, let's run."

As soon as the words fell, Kaohsiung led ten people rushing down the high slope aggressively.

The team leader was taken aback for a moment, and then became furious, "Zhiniang thief, just so many people, what kind of army are you pretending to be?"

Liu Shirang and the others took a closer look, but they were also stunned. They thought it was Tang Wang's striker who had arrived.

"That's Gao Youzhi's personal guard?" Gongsun Wuda's sharp eyes immediately recognized Gao Xiong.

"Brothers, there are only a dozen thieves, don't be afraid, just kill me," the group leader raised his knife to cheer up his morale.

"You are the bandit," Kaohsiung was furious, and rushed straight to the leader of the group, slashing with a knife, very imposing.

The team leader did not dare to underestimate him, so he quickly raised his sword to block. Kaohsiung is the son of the Gao family, and he practiced martial arts with Gao Chong since childhood. .

With just one knife, the heads of the group were shaken until their arms went numb.

Feeling the force from the knife, Kaohsiung grinned, "Too weak", and made another backhand blow, which knocked the squad leader's knife away.

The squad leader turned pale and ran away. Kaohsiung didn't chase after him. He rushed directly in front of Gongsun Wuda, split the cage and shackles with one knife, and handed him a horizontal knife.

Gongsun Wuda laughed loudly and cheered up, "Brother Gao, take a break and watch me kill the thief." Before he finished speaking, he clenched his horizontal knife and rushed out.

On the side Liu Shirang yelled, "Brother Gao, and me".

Kaohsiung broke open the cage one by one, released Er Liu, and slashed the Bailian knife in his hand.
