The First Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty
Chapter 47
Gao Ming ate and drank along the way. It's not that he didn't think about running away, but as Wang Ying's precious food, he was watched very closely. In addition, he saw with his own eyes some people who wanted to run away, and he used them alive after being caught. Stoned to death.
He estimated his physical strength and found that it was beyond his ability to complete a successful escape, so he rejected the idea.
During this period, Dwarf Tiger visited Gao Ming several times and saw that he had become much healthier due to the car ride these days, so he couldn't help saying happily: "Smart people's heart and liver are greatly nourished, and healthy smart people are supplemented by supplements." .”
Gao Ming looked at each other blankly, sometimes he would think, Wang Ying eats people's hearts, and he has a group of gangsters who love to sit on tiger leather chairs and imitate the painting style of the monster king in Journey to the West next door, but he It is not a monster, but a living person, and there is no difference between a human and a monster.
Wang Ying looked at Gao Ming for a while, then walked away humming a tune with her hands behind her back, "Hurry up to Liangshan, hurry up to Liangshan."
One day, he saw a short, black and fat man walking around, shouting and embracing from a distance, and he thought it was Song Jiang.
Except for this distant glance, Gao Ming never saw him again until the troops from Qingfeng Mountain arrived at the foot of Liang Mountain.
Further on, there are all waterways and no dry roads at all.
There was a hotel beside the water, and the wine flags were fluttering. Gao Ming saw that after the team stopped, two short men, Song Jiang and Wang Ying, entered the hotel one after another. Bai's leader Zheng Tianshou followed in.
After a while, some minions came out of the hotel, walked straight towards Gao Ming, grabbed him, and dragged him out of the car.
Gao Ming knew that he was going to be on the chopping board, but at this point, he couldn't control it, and he was pushed and shoved into the kitchen.
Gao Ming saw that the cauldron in the kitchen was steaming and emitting a burst of aroma. He hadn't eaten today, so he couldn't help but feel very hungry and his stomach growled.
Hearing this, the knife sharpener laughed and said, "I'm sorry you are a starving ghost. The king asked for your heart and liver by name. I will make hangover soup later." He said he was about to tie Gao Ming to the pillar.
When he walked towards Gao Ming, he wondered why this man was so calm, he didn't cry or make trouble when he was about to die.
Of course Gao Ming couldn't cry, even if his legs were weak from fright, he had to calm down, and he said calmly, "Which hero is Handi Hulu Zhugui?"
The guy was taken aback, how did this person know their shopkeeper?He said vigilantly, "Why are you looking for him? Who are you?"
"Let me see Brother Handi Hulu Zhu Guizhu first!" Gao Ming said loudly.
This is the way of life he has figured out in the past few days. Before going up Liangshan, he must pass by Zhu Gui's hotel, and Zhu Gui will save him because he will tell a lie.
At this time, a tall man with high cheekbones and a three-pronged yellow beard walked in through the curtain, "Who called me?"
"Brother Zhu—" Gao Ming cried out, "I finally see you!"
Zhu Guifa was stunned, isn't this Wang Ying's son, he always called him "Big Brother" when they met, but at this moment, the other party said "Big Brother" and seemed to know him, so he couldn't be rude, what if he was really an acquaintance.
"Don't worry, who are you? Tell me slowly." Zhu Gui saw that the young man in front of him was white and clean, and he didn't seem to know kung fu, so he didn't take precautions, approached Gao Ming, and looked at him carefully.
Gao Ming squeezed out tears, choked up and said, "Brother Zhu Gui, I finally saw you. My name is Sun Xiaowu. I am the nephew of Zhang Qingmu, Yacha and Sun Erniang, who lived in Shizipo Vegetable Garden in Mengzhou. I went to my aunt, and I did a good job at Shizipo, but I didn’t want to come to the evil magistrate, arrested my aunt and uncle, and killed them in court. Fortunately, I went to the village to collect my uncle’s Mantouqian, who was not present, later escaped in the rivers and lakes. I have heard for a long time that Hulu Zhugui, who is in the dry land of Liangshanpo, is a hero like my aunt and uncle. The leader of the king robbed the house and brought me here, but because of this, I was able to meet Brother Zhu... woo woo woo..."
Zhu Gui, the Liangshanbo Hotel, does the same business as Sun Erniang. If a caravan passes by, he will notify Liangshan to come down to robbery. If he meets a single guest, he will let him go if he has no money. The mutton is sold, and the fatty ones are fried in oil to light the lamps.
Heroes of the same type should have heard of each other's names. The world is not small, and it is not big.
Sure enough, as soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Zhu Gui said: "It turns out that they are relatives of the hero Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang, no wonder they are not afraid when they see this posture." Then he said regretfully: "I have heard about their affairs, it is a pity ,well."
Gao Ming wiped his tears with his sleeve, "I have pity on my aunt. Fortunately, I heard that there is a good man in Jianghu called Handi Hulu Zhugui. I thought this man would be able to take me in, so I came to join me."
Everyone has vanity, especially when he heard that this person in front of him is an admirer who has heard about his name for a long time and is also a relative of another hero. There is no reason not to take care of him. Zhu Gui immediately decided to save Sun Xiaowu.
At this time, Wang Ying shouted outside: "I put less vinegar in my hot and sour hangover soup——"
Gao Ming raised his watery eyes and looked at Zhu Gui, "The leader Wang is still waiting for me to make hangover soup, what should I do?" He also did not forget to provoke discord, "He is not the leader of Liangshan yet, so he just ordered you like this With old qualifications, when he really becomes the leader of Liangshan, I don’t know what will happen.”
Zhu Gui has a lot of seniority. He is an old employee of Liangshan. He used to work for Wang Lun, and now he works for Chao Gai. It is really uncomfortable to be ordered by a new Wang Ying. Gao Ming's words hit his heart.
But Zhu Gui said: "We are all brothers, don't say that, you come with me, don't be afraid, I will protect you."
He led Gao Ming out of the kitchen door, came into the living room, and said to Song Jiang, Wang Ying, Yan Shun and Zheng Tianshou who were eating wine: "Coincidentally, this little brother is none other than my friend Zhang Qinghe Sun Erniang's nephew is called Sun Xiaowu, thank you Chief Wang for bringing him here."
Wang Ying's face was ugly, and the hangover soup was flying in his mouth, and he didn't want to immediately, "Where do you get so many relatives?! The people I brought became your relatives."
"Hey—what are you talking about? Can Brother Zhu Gui still lie to you?" Song Jiang said to Wang Ying: "It's about to go up the mountain, don't eat a lot of wine, and naturally don't drink sober soup!" He said to Zhu Gui: " Since you recognize this person, you can take him away."
Zhu Gui thanked him and led Gao Ming back to the kitchen.
Before leaving, I heard Wang Ying swearing unwillingly, Gao Ming was happy, so just swear, the more you swear, the more Zhu Gui will not deal with you, if you say east, he will go west.
Wang Ying chewed the vegetables, and said bitterly: "That guy is quite scheming, let me do a free job to drag him to Liangshan!"
Song Jiang knew better than him how to judge the situation, "We are newcomers, since this Sun Xiaowu is someone that Chief Zhu knows, how can we not return it to him. Stop talking about this, and eat wine."
Wang Ying held his breath, but Sun Xiaowu was taken away by Zhu Gui, so he had no choice.
After the group had eaten, Zhu Gui released an arrow from the window of the hotel into the reeds, and soon, a boat was rowed, and a boatman on it said, "Chief Zhu, who is going to ferry up the mountain?"
Zhu Guidao: "It's a group of brothers from Qingfeng Mountain in Qingzhou who came to vote for Liangshan. You send a few of them up first, and then send someone to pick up the others."
After explaining, he went out and asked Song Jiang, Wang Ying, Yanshun and Zheng Tianshou to follow the boatman.
Gao Ming saw the four people get on the boat with his own eyes, so he let out a sigh of relief.
"Just stay in my shop and do things first. I think you are also very clever. I don't know what to do."
Liangshan does not support idlers, they must either be able to fight or have special skills. Gao Ming immediately said: "My father sent me to a private school, and I can keep accounts. daily output and input."
Scholars can always find a way to make a living, and whoever goes to Liangshan if nothing happens, there is a shortage of scholars in the Bandit Den.
Hearing that Gao Ming would keep accounts and settle accounts, Zhu Guixi said: "Since you have this ability, then I have a suitable job for you here. You can help Lao Liu first, and settle accounts together."
Gao Ming hurriedly said, "I will do my best."
Zhugui Hotel is the eyes and ears of Liangshan, as long as you stay here, hang around for a while, and get familiar with it, you won't have to worry about finding a chance to escape.
The next day, ships came one after another, transporting hundreds of minions under Wang Ying's command to the mountain.
Gao Ming started working in the Zhugui Hotel. During the chats with the other four employees in the hotel, Gao Ming enriched his own experience. Probably because he was originally from the vicinity of Tokyo. His father sent him to a private school for several years. Later, when he was working in a cloth shop, he was bullied by the shopkeeper. He put medicine in the tea and killed the shopkeeper. He took the money and fled to his aunt. The rest was that the evil Kochifu killed his aunt and uncle.
He knew Sun Erniang's dossier like the back of his hand, no matter how decent he was, there was no flaw at all.
A man whose hands are not stained with blood is not a good man who can get along with peace of mind.
Hearing that Gao Ming was involved in this lawsuit, Zhu Gui's attitude towards him became even better.
Behind Zhugui Hotel is Liangshan, which is considered a large hotel with sufficient rations. They don’t take medicine to turn over those passers-by. After all, occasionally the leaders of the mountain will come down to eat, so there are cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese in the backyard. Eat, and there is plenty of fish for dinner.
It was deserted during the Chinese New Year, since Gao Ming came, no one outside the hotel passed by, Gao Ming just chatted nonsense with the clerk in the shop all day long.
Through chatting, he knew that there is no leader named Lin Chong on Liangshan now, and that Chao Gai was able to seize Wang Lun's cottage. It was Song Wan, who was sitting in the third place, who betrayed Wang Lun, and partnered with Chao Gai and the others to kill Wang Lun.
That is to say, Lin Chong is still obediently in exile, his future has changed, and he is not mixed with Liang Shan.
This was good news for Gao Ming. This time, there was no one who knew him on Liangshan, so he became more relaxed.
Because he claimed to be from near Tokyo, he talked about the time when he went to the city to watch the Cuju competition, and everyone else was envious, "Tokyo is better, if only I can go for a stroll."
After bragging like this for two days, and getting acquainted with several people in the store, Gao Ming reckons that if this continues, he will soon find a chance to escape.
"Xiao Wu, let's talk about the ball building competition again. Why didn't Yan Qing, who played for nothing, lead the Bianliang team to win the championship?" Talk to Gao Ming.
"Well, let's start with the dismissal of the two games..." Anyway, he was idle, and Gao Ming was planning to set up another team.
At this time, someone came in with the curtain lifted, and his figure was unusually tall. Gao Ming sat on the chair and couldn't help but look up at him.
"Boss Song is here." Zhu Gui welcomed him out from the back kitchen, and said to Gao Ming and the waiter who was waiting for him to brag, "Don't just sit around, go to work."
Gao Ming thought to himself, could this be Yunli King Kong Song Wan?He got up to leave, but Song Wan said, "Five hundred people have come to Qingfeng Mountain. Brother Chao Gai wants to register them. Now there is a shortage of clerks who can write. Your accountant can use it on the mountain."
Zhu Guidao: "It's not difficult, now we don't have any business here, Lao Liu, you go with the leader Song." Suddenly remembered something, and grabbed Gao Ming, "There is also this Sun Xiaowu, who can write and calculate, very It's Ling Li, tell him to go up with him."
Gao Ming didn't want to go up the mountain, so he declined, "I'm not qualified enough, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."
Song Wan laughed and said, "Hey, you're still very polite. There are so many people on the mountain that you can't even write your own name. You can write and count. Come with me."
Zhu Gui also laughed, and wished Gao Ming: "Behave well, you will have a bright future."
Gao Ming wanted to scold someone, but his future as a robber would be useless!
But what he said didn't count, so he had to obey the arrangement and go up the mountain by boat.
-
Since Gao Ming left, Hua Rong has been under house arrest in this courtyard. Murong Yanda has kept the agreement with Gao Ming, the food is good, and he has a certain range of activities, but he doesn't want to move, and has been staying in the courtyard obediently.
It was lunch time again, and he calmly waited for the meals to be delivered on time every day.
The door was pushed open, and two soldiers walked in, opened the food box, and brought out the meals one by one. Unlike the past, the four dishes today were all meat dishes, and they were cooked with great care.
Huarong was thoughtful, but he didn't show it. When the people left, he poured half of the food in the corner, and then lay down on the table, pretending to be asleep.
Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, someone sneakily appeared at the door, "It's down! Hurry in and tie it up."
Hua Rong heard footsteps approaching, sat up suddenly, saw two soldiers in front of him, immediately knocked over and stepped on his feet, the other locked his throat, and forced to ask: "What the hell is Murong Yanda doing?!"
He didn't seem to be cooking with such care every day. In the past few days, he felt that there was a lot of turmoil in the yamen, and the food suddenly became better. With Murong Yanda's virtue, there was no ghost. Go on, so I did it with special care.
"General Hua, I, we are just following orders... The higher-ups ordered us to give you sweat medicine, numb you and throw you in prison, that's all."
Huarong realized that something was wrong, Gao Ming must have had a problem, otherwise, Murong Yanda would not dare to break the contract.
Hua Rong knocked the man out, and strode out the door. The guards guarding the courtyard saw that the two soldiers didn't come out, but Hua Rong came out instead. He didn't dare to go forward, everyone surrounded him, only dared to test.
When it was too late, Hua Rong quickly shot, knocked down a soldier nearby, snatched a thin bow, put an arrow on it, and shot a man's bun like lightning, "Stop me again, next time it will be Your eyes." As he said that, he took an arrow again and aimed at the crowd, where the arrow was aimed, the crowd dispersed spontaneously, and no one dared to look at him.
Hua Rong took a bow and arrow and strode towards the Yamen in the front yard.
As soon as Huarong entered the front yard, he saw Murong Yanda sitting in front of a table, with a white cloth wrapped around his head, his face was pale, and the dark circles under his eyes were more conspicuous.
Besides Murong Yanda, there were two old people, a woman, a boy and a girl, all tied up like zongzi.
And in front of them, there was a corpse lying there, covered with a white cloth, it was impossible to see what the corpse looked like.
For some reason, Hua Rong's heart skipped a beat, and he became nervous for no reason.
When Murong Yanda saw Hua Rong, he was terrified, but he didn't want to put his hands on the table, before he could stand up, an arrow shot through his left hand, nailing him firmly to the table.
"Ah—" Murong Yanda screamed.
The surrounding yamen servants came to their senses, there were people with bows and arrows, who were about to release arrows, but Hua Rong noticed it first, shot the arrow over, and Hua Rong picked up the quiver instead.
Another person wanted to sneak attack, but before he got close to Hua Rong, he also shot an arrow, pierced his arm, and rolled on the ground howling.
Hua Rong simply aimed an arrow at Murong Yanda, and said to the people around him: "You can try, whether your arrow is faster or mine."
The magistrate's life was threatened, and no one dared to move.
Hua Rong said, "Put down all your weapons!"
Murong Yanda nodded, everyone in the courtyard listened to the order and slowly put down the weapons in their hands.
Hua Rong went straight to Murong Yanda, "What's going on? What's under the thatch?"
Murong Yan said angrily: "Hua Rong,... Qin Ming betrayed the government, defected to the bandits, murdered and set fire to the rubble village, he wiped out a whole village...and Gao Ming happened to be in that village , was not spared, Huang Xin's body and his body were found, Huang Xin was taken back by his family, this is Gao Ming. Come, open the sheet."
Someone uncovered the tarpaulin and saw a charred corpse inside, black and unrecognizable, with only the left ear remaining, and the right arm and lower limbs were relatively intact.
With his still moving right hand, Murong Yanda drew a few pieces of paper from the table, "This is the document I wrote when Gao Ming and I parted that day. I found it in the inner pocket of the right sleeve of the corpse. Most of them were burned, but the rest are indeed written by my hand."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Hua Rong, seeing that he was still in a state of soullessness, he couldn't help shouting: "Hua Rong, did you hear that? Gao Ming is dead!"
Gao Ming is dead, Gao Qiu will never let it go, they are all doomed!
Murong Yanda pointed to the elderly, women and young people kneeling on the ground, and shouted in a gaffe: "They are Qin Ming's family members! Our government is going to kill them today! If you want, you can do it!"
Qin Ming's family members cried out: "Your Excellency, it is definitely not Qin Ming who did it, someone must have framed it!"
"Someone recognizes his armor and mace, but who is he?!" Yes, no!
At this time, Hua Rong finally came back to his senses, and said in a daze, "This corpse is not Gao Ming's...I don't believe that Qin Ming would commit murder and arson."
"Why not?! Taiwei Gao will not bypass us just because you say no!" Murong Yanda said angrily: "I sent Qin Ming to attack Qingfeng Mountain. After he was captured, he became a general and went to kill the villagers. It’s a certificate of honor! You used to be a magistrate, don’t you understand how robbers do things?! That’s Qin Ming’s certificate of honor!”
Hua Rong stared at the corpse's ear, although it was burnt beyond recognition, but the shape of the ear and the appearance of the intact right hand were not Gao Ming at all.
It's fine if others don't recognize it, how could he not recognize it.
So, Gao Ming is not dead?Where is he now?
Hua Rong asked sharply: "When did this happen?" Murong Yanda was startled by Hua Rong's sudden shout: "It happened five days ago!" "
The place was in a mess, and Gao Ming's body was finally found from the pile of corpses.
Huarong was in despair for a while, it had been five days, what happened to Gao Ming, where is he?
Murong Yanda's original plan was to kill Qin Ming's family, and then blame Hua Rong for all the crimes, so as to appease Taiwei Gao's anger.
It can even be said that Huarong united with Qin Ming, causing Gao Ming to die.
Someone always has to take the blame, but it's definitely not him.
Seeing Huarong lost in thought, Murong Yanda realized that this was a golden opportunity, and frequently winked at others.
Someone understood, quietly picked up the thin bow, and secretly aimed at Huarong.
But the arrow aimed at Hua Rong was released, but Hua Rong grabbed Murong Yanda sideways and blocked it, and it hit Murong's left shoulder blade impartially, causing him to scream like a pig.
Seeing that he hit the prefect by mistake, the archer was in a panic, and was shot down by Hua Rong who was coming towards him.
Hua Rong pulled out the sharp arrow on Murong Yanda's shoulder blade, the pain made Murong Yanda almost faint, and howled again.
Hua Rong reached Murong Yanda's throat with the tip of the arrow, "Bring me my horse, cloak and weapon, and untie the Qin and Ming family members, and prepare three horses for them."
Murong Yanda howled: "Do you know what you are doing? You saved Qin Ming's family, and you will be convicted of colluding with robbers!" As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his throat, and squinted to see Hua Rong looking at him coldly. , Knowing that he can do anything, he dare not say anything.
"You'd better not mess with me now, even if you take your dog's life, believe it or not, I can kill you."
Indeed, with Huarong's ability, even if he was killed now and rode out on horseback, no one would be able to stop him.
Murong Yanda was afraid of death, so he shouted: "Do as he says!"
The magistrate's life was in Hua Rong's hands, and his subordinates rushed to lead the horses, and soon the horses were ready.
Qin Ming's family, as the military officer's family, knew how to ride horses, and when they were untied, they rode on the same horse, took a deep look at Hua Rong, and ran for their lives first.
Hua Rong whistled, and his mount ran up to him by itself, then he pulled out the arrow nailed to Murong Yanda's left hand, threw the man off the horse, turned himself over, beat the horse and followed Qin Ming's family, He rushed out of the yamen and ran towards the gate of the city.
The people from the magistrate's yamen also chased after him on horseback. Just now when Huarong asked them to prepare the horse, they knew that he was going to run, and they had already prepared the cavalry to follow closely behind Huarong.
Hua Rong took out the feathered arrows, turned around and fired three arrows in a row, the arrows were not in vain, and shot the three closest to him under the horse.
When the others saw Hua Rong, they knew how powerful Hua Rong was, so they didn't dare to chase after her.
Seeing that they were not far or near, Hua Rong took three more arrows and turned around to shoot.
When the chasing soldiers met, they instinctively reined in their horses and dared not chase any more.So he quickly opened the distance, watching Hua Rong and his party run out of the city gate from a distance, and they became a few black spots in their sight.
Hua Rong hurried to the rubble village where Gao Ming's accident happened, and he could see a scorched blackness from a distance. Occasionally, there were a few figures among the ruined walls. I don't know if they were the surviving villagers or their relatives and friends, but when they saw Hua Rong and the others coming, They all hid and looked at them timidly.
When Huarong arrived at the place, he jumped off the horse, not to mention the mess of the place, five days passed, some traces have been erased, it is so difficult to find someone.
At this time, Hua Rong saw a shrinking man under the nearest wall, and immediately rushed over to arrest him.
The man was so frightened that he went limp, "The hero, please spare me, don't kill me."
Huarong had a lot to ask, but he didn't know which one to ask first, "Where are the people in the village? Where are the dead and where are the living?"
"The dead are all placed in the open space over there, as for the living... there are only a few of us."
If Gao Ming was alive, he would definitely return to Qingzhou City. After five days, there was no letter from him.
But he didn't see the corpse, so he didn't believe that he was dead. He grabbed the man and said, "Take me to see the corpse."
Murong Yanda said sadly: "You also saw Hua Rong, Qin Ming did all of this."
He didn't speak, Huarong almost forgot about him, and said coldly: "You spread your arms and face me with your palms."
Murong Yanda said vigilantly: "What are you going to do?"
Hua Rong took out an arrow and put it on the bow, "If you don't do it, I'll shoot you in the throat."
Murong Yanda just received an arrow on his arm and left hand, it hurt so much that he could barely lift it up, he slowly turned his palms towards Huarong.
The arrow in Hua Rong's hand was released, and it flew towards Murong Yanda, instantly piercing the palm of his right hand.
"Ahhh—" Murong Yanda knelt down in pain, howling like hell.
"For your brother's sake, I won't kill you! The scar on your hand reminds you to remember this day forever! Get lost!" After Hua Rong finished speaking, he ignored Murong Yanda and dragged the man to the open space to identify the corpse.
Qin Ming's family, who had been watching by the side, also dismounted now, "General Hua, who are you looking for? We will also help you look."
Qin Ming's life and death are uncertain. They have escaped now, but they don't know what to do in the future.
Hua Rong shook his head, and walked towards the clearing in silence. As soon as he entered the clearing, he saw corpses all over the ground, some intact and some burnt.
If Gao Ming's subordinates were afraid that he would be recognized and changed clothes with him, then Gao Ming should be wearing ordinary clothes now, and he would not be found by Murong Yanda's people and sent back to the government.
If he really died, he should be lying here alone as an unknown corpse.
Hua Rong felt his heart was twisted like a knife, so he pulled himself together and went to check the corpses one by one.
"Hero, are you looking for someone?" At this time, an old man who was carrying the corpse didn't want to mind his own business, but seeing Hua Rong's sad face, he couldn't help but said, "Not all the corpses here, some people were kidnapped. "
"The kidnapping is gone?" Huarong woke up like a dream. These robbers have always loved to kidnap good people and become robbers to enrich their strength.
After thanking the old man, he ran to the horse, got on the horse, and was about to ride the horse to Qingfeng Mountain.
When Qin Ming's family saw Hua Rong riding away on horseback, they all followed, "General Hua, where are you going?"
"I'm going to Qingfeng Mountain to find someone, you can do what you want, don't follow me." Even Huarong himself doesn't know what the future will look like.
Qin Ming's family did not back down, and Mrs. Qin Ming said: "Our family will never commit murder and arson. There must be a misunderstanding. He must be in Qingfeng Mountain, and we will also go to Qingfeng Mountain."
Love to follow, let's follow, Hua Rong didn't speak, and continued to ride towards Qingfeng Mountain.
When it was evening, he saw a man on horseback in front of him, dressed in military uniform and carrying a mace, it was Qin Ming.
"Father—" Qin Ming's son and daughter had good eyesight, they saw their father first, and shouted excitedly.
Huarong also recognized Qin Ming, knowing that this road leads to Qingfeng Mountain, so he hurriedly asked, "Are you coming from Qingfeng Mountain?"
Seeing his family members and Hua Rong together, Qin Ming was very surprised, "Why are you here?"
"A few days ago you led troops to massacre the rubble village. Prefect Murong was furious and arrested us for execution. Fortunately, General Hua came to our rescue." Qin Ming's old mother wept.
When Qin Ming heard this, he jumped off his horse in horror, "What's going on?"
Qin Ming's old father said: "It's a long story, thank you General Hua first."
Huarong rescued Qin Ming's parents, wife, and a pair of children. He immediately came to Huarong, knelt down and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your kindness, and I will pay respects to Qin Ming."
Hua Rong helped Qin Ming up, "I just follow the trend, you're welcome. Are you from Qingfeng Mountain?"
Qin Ming said angrily: "I was ordered to attack Qingfeng Village, and wanted to take it back, but who would have thought that the robbers caught me up in the mountain and locked me up for many days, and I was not allowed to go down the mountain because of wine and food? , Today finally a minion came and let me go, so I hurried down the mountain."
"Have you seen Kochifu?"
Qin Ming shook his head, "No, I was locked up alone. And when I went down the mountain, it was pitch black and there was no one. I asked before I knew that the bandits were going to flee to Liangshan, and they abandoned this place. Leaving two people to watch the village, most of the people would have left long ago.”
Hua Rong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He thought bitterly, this group of thieves knew that they would massacre the rubble village, and they would definitely call in a large army to suppress them, so they abandoned this place and went to a bigger mountain.
So, was Gao Ming also taken captive to Liangshan?
Hua Rong looked at the vast land and felt a sharp pain in his heart. Gao Ming was very weak, how could he survive the bitter cold weather.
"Liang Shan, is that right?" Hua Rong remounted and turned around.
When Qin Ming heard that he was going to Liangshan, he said in horror: "That Liangshan is a bigger den of robbers. Now there is a man named Chao Gai as the leader there, and he has attracted many villains from the rivers and lakes to make trouble. What are you going to do?"
"Looking for someone." Hua Rong didn't want to say more.
"If you go to Liangshan to find someone, then you have to become one of them. How can you be a robber after you are the general?"
What is more important than human life?No matter what to do, as long as you can find Gao Ming.
"There will be a period later." Hua Rong didn't want to waste any time, hit the horse and ran out.
The horseshoes raised waves of snow dust on the ground, like broken jade flowers.
He estimated his physical strength and found that it was beyond his ability to complete a successful escape, so he rejected the idea.
During this period, Dwarf Tiger visited Gao Ming several times and saw that he had become much healthier due to the car ride these days, so he couldn't help saying happily: "Smart people's heart and liver are greatly nourished, and healthy smart people are supplemented by supplements." .”
Gao Ming looked at each other blankly, sometimes he would think, Wang Ying eats people's hearts, and he has a group of gangsters who love to sit on tiger leather chairs and imitate the painting style of the monster king in Journey to the West next door, but he It is not a monster, but a living person, and there is no difference between a human and a monster.
Wang Ying looked at Gao Ming for a while, then walked away humming a tune with her hands behind her back, "Hurry up to Liangshan, hurry up to Liangshan."
One day, he saw a short, black and fat man walking around, shouting and embracing from a distance, and he thought it was Song Jiang.
Except for this distant glance, Gao Ming never saw him again until the troops from Qingfeng Mountain arrived at the foot of Liang Mountain.
Further on, there are all waterways and no dry roads at all.
There was a hotel beside the water, and the wine flags were fluttering. Gao Ming saw that after the team stopped, two short men, Song Jiang and Wang Ying, entered the hotel one after another. Bai's leader Zheng Tianshou followed in.
After a while, some minions came out of the hotel, walked straight towards Gao Ming, grabbed him, and dragged him out of the car.
Gao Ming knew that he was going to be on the chopping board, but at this point, he couldn't control it, and he was pushed and shoved into the kitchen.
Gao Ming saw that the cauldron in the kitchen was steaming and emitting a burst of aroma. He hadn't eaten today, so he couldn't help but feel very hungry and his stomach growled.
Hearing this, the knife sharpener laughed and said, "I'm sorry you are a starving ghost. The king asked for your heart and liver by name. I will make hangover soup later." He said he was about to tie Gao Ming to the pillar.
When he walked towards Gao Ming, he wondered why this man was so calm, he didn't cry or make trouble when he was about to die.
Of course Gao Ming couldn't cry, even if his legs were weak from fright, he had to calm down, and he said calmly, "Which hero is Handi Hulu Zhugui?"
The guy was taken aback, how did this person know their shopkeeper?He said vigilantly, "Why are you looking for him? Who are you?"
"Let me see Brother Handi Hulu Zhu Guizhu first!" Gao Ming said loudly.
This is the way of life he has figured out in the past few days. Before going up Liangshan, he must pass by Zhu Gui's hotel, and Zhu Gui will save him because he will tell a lie.
At this time, a tall man with high cheekbones and a three-pronged yellow beard walked in through the curtain, "Who called me?"
"Brother Zhu—" Gao Ming cried out, "I finally see you!"
Zhu Guifa was stunned, isn't this Wang Ying's son, he always called him "Big Brother" when they met, but at this moment, the other party said "Big Brother" and seemed to know him, so he couldn't be rude, what if he was really an acquaintance.
"Don't worry, who are you? Tell me slowly." Zhu Gui saw that the young man in front of him was white and clean, and he didn't seem to know kung fu, so he didn't take precautions, approached Gao Ming, and looked at him carefully.
Gao Ming squeezed out tears, choked up and said, "Brother Zhu Gui, I finally saw you. My name is Sun Xiaowu. I am the nephew of Zhang Qingmu, Yacha and Sun Erniang, who lived in Shizipo Vegetable Garden in Mengzhou. I went to my aunt, and I did a good job at Shizipo, but I didn’t want to come to the evil magistrate, arrested my aunt and uncle, and killed them in court. Fortunately, I went to the village to collect my uncle’s Mantouqian, who was not present, later escaped in the rivers and lakes. I have heard for a long time that Hulu Zhugui, who is in the dry land of Liangshanpo, is a hero like my aunt and uncle. The leader of the king robbed the house and brought me here, but because of this, I was able to meet Brother Zhu... woo woo woo..."
Zhu Gui, the Liangshanbo Hotel, does the same business as Sun Erniang. If a caravan passes by, he will notify Liangshan to come down to robbery. If he meets a single guest, he will let him go if he has no money. The mutton is sold, and the fatty ones are fried in oil to light the lamps.
Heroes of the same type should have heard of each other's names. The world is not small, and it is not big.
Sure enough, as soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Zhu Gui said: "It turns out that they are relatives of the hero Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang, no wonder they are not afraid when they see this posture." Then he said regretfully: "I have heard about their affairs, it is a pity ,well."
Gao Ming wiped his tears with his sleeve, "I have pity on my aunt. Fortunately, I heard that there is a good man in Jianghu called Handi Hulu Zhugui. I thought this man would be able to take me in, so I came to join me."
Everyone has vanity, especially when he heard that this person in front of him is an admirer who has heard about his name for a long time and is also a relative of another hero. There is no reason not to take care of him. Zhu Gui immediately decided to save Sun Xiaowu.
At this time, Wang Ying shouted outside: "I put less vinegar in my hot and sour hangover soup——"
Gao Ming raised his watery eyes and looked at Zhu Gui, "The leader Wang is still waiting for me to make hangover soup, what should I do?" He also did not forget to provoke discord, "He is not the leader of Liangshan yet, so he just ordered you like this With old qualifications, when he really becomes the leader of Liangshan, I don’t know what will happen.”
Zhu Gui has a lot of seniority. He is an old employee of Liangshan. He used to work for Wang Lun, and now he works for Chao Gai. It is really uncomfortable to be ordered by a new Wang Ying. Gao Ming's words hit his heart.
But Zhu Gui said: "We are all brothers, don't say that, you come with me, don't be afraid, I will protect you."
He led Gao Ming out of the kitchen door, came into the living room, and said to Song Jiang, Wang Ying, Yan Shun and Zheng Tianshou who were eating wine: "Coincidentally, this little brother is none other than my friend Zhang Qinghe Sun Erniang's nephew is called Sun Xiaowu, thank you Chief Wang for bringing him here."
Wang Ying's face was ugly, and the hangover soup was flying in his mouth, and he didn't want to immediately, "Where do you get so many relatives?! The people I brought became your relatives."
"Hey—what are you talking about? Can Brother Zhu Gui still lie to you?" Song Jiang said to Wang Ying: "It's about to go up the mountain, don't eat a lot of wine, and naturally don't drink sober soup!" He said to Zhu Gui: " Since you recognize this person, you can take him away."
Zhu Gui thanked him and led Gao Ming back to the kitchen.
Before leaving, I heard Wang Ying swearing unwillingly, Gao Ming was happy, so just swear, the more you swear, the more Zhu Gui will not deal with you, if you say east, he will go west.
Wang Ying chewed the vegetables, and said bitterly: "That guy is quite scheming, let me do a free job to drag him to Liangshan!"
Song Jiang knew better than him how to judge the situation, "We are newcomers, since this Sun Xiaowu is someone that Chief Zhu knows, how can we not return it to him. Stop talking about this, and eat wine."
Wang Ying held his breath, but Sun Xiaowu was taken away by Zhu Gui, so he had no choice.
After the group had eaten, Zhu Gui released an arrow from the window of the hotel into the reeds, and soon, a boat was rowed, and a boatman on it said, "Chief Zhu, who is going to ferry up the mountain?"
Zhu Guidao: "It's a group of brothers from Qingfeng Mountain in Qingzhou who came to vote for Liangshan. You send a few of them up first, and then send someone to pick up the others."
After explaining, he went out and asked Song Jiang, Wang Ying, Yanshun and Zheng Tianshou to follow the boatman.
Gao Ming saw the four people get on the boat with his own eyes, so he let out a sigh of relief.
"Just stay in my shop and do things first. I think you are also very clever. I don't know what to do."
Liangshan does not support idlers, they must either be able to fight or have special skills. Gao Ming immediately said: "My father sent me to a private school, and I can keep accounts. daily output and input."
Scholars can always find a way to make a living, and whoever goes to Liangshan if nothing happens, there is a shortage of scholars in the Bandit Den.
Hearing that Gao Ming would keep accounts and settle accounts, Zhu Guixi said: "Since you have this ability, then I have a suitable job for you here. You can help Lao Liu first, and settle accounts together."
Gao Ming hurriedly said, "I will do my best."
Zhugui Hotel is the eyes and ears of Liangshan, as long as you stay here, hang around for a while, and get familiar with it, you won't have to worry about finding a chance to escape.
The next day, ships came one after another, transporting hundreds of minions under Wang Ying's command to the mountain.
Gao Ming started working in the Zhugui Hotel. During the chats with the other four employees in the hotel, Gao Ming enriched his own experience. Probably because he was originally from the vicinity of Tokyo. His father sent him to a private school for several years. Later, when he was working in a cloth shop, he was bullied by the shopkeeper. He put medicine in the tea and killed the shopkeeper. He took the money and fled to his aunt. The rest was that the evil Kochifu killed his aunt and uncle.
He knew Sun Erniang's dossier like the back of his hand, no matter how decent he was, there was no flaw at all.
A man whose hands are not stained with blood is not a good man who can get along with peace of mind.
Hearing that Gao Ming was involved in this lawsuit, Zhu Gui's attitude towards him became even better.
Behind Zhugui Hotel is Liangshan, which is considered a large hotel with sufficient rations. They don’t take medicine to turn over those passers-by. After all, occasionally the leaders of the mountain will come down to eat, so there are cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese in the backyard. Eat, and there is plenty of fish for dinner.
It was deserted during the Chinese New Year, since Gao Ming came, no one outside the hotel passed by, Gao Ming just chatted nonsense with the clerk in the shop all day long.
Through chatting, he knew that there is no leader named Lin Chong on Liangshan now, and that Chao Gai was able to seize Wang Lun's cottage. It was Song Wan, who was sitting in the third place, who betrayed Wang Lun, and partnered with Chao Gai and the others to kill Wang Lun.
That is to say, Lin Chong is still obediently in exile, his future has changed, and he is not mixed with Liang Shan.
This was good news for Gao Ming. This time, there was no one who knew him on Liangshan, so he became more relaxed.
Because he claimed to be from near Tokyo, he talked about the time when he went to the city to watch the Cuju competition, and everyone else was envious, "Tokyo is better, if only I can go for a stroll."
After bragging like this for two days, and getting acquainted with several people in the store, Gao Ming reckons that if this continues, he will soon find a chance to escape.
"Xiao Wu, let's talk about the ball building competition again. Why didn't Yan Qing, who played for nothing, lead the Bianliang team to win the championship?" Talk to Gao Ming.
"Well, let's start with the dismissal of the two games..." Anyway, he was idle, and Gao Ming was planning to set up another team.
At this time, someone came in with the curtain lifted, and his figure was unusually tall. Gao Ming sat on the chair and couldn't help but look up at him.
"Boss Song is here." Zhu Gui welcomed him out from the back kitchen, and said to Gao Ming and the waiter who was waiting for him to brag, "Don't just sit around, go to work."
Gao Ming thought to himself, could this be Yunli King Kong Song Wan?He got up to leave, but Song Wan said, "Five hundred people have come to Qingfeng Mountain. Brother Chao Gai wants to register them. Now there is a shortage of clerks who can write. Your accountant can use it on the mountain."
Zhu Guidao: "It's not difficult, now we don't have any business here, Lao Liu, you go with the leader Song." Suddenly remembered something, and grabbed Gao Ming, "There is also this Sun Xiaowu, who can write and calculate, very It's Ling Li, tell him to go up with him."
Gao Ming didn't want to go up the mountain, so he declined, "I'm not qualified enough, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."
Song Wan laughed and said, "Hey, you're still very polite. There are so many people on the mountain that you can't even write your own name. You can write and count. Come with me."
Zhu Gui also laughed, and wished Gao Ming: "Behave well, you will have a bright future."
Gao Ming wanted to scold someone, but his future as a robber would be useless!
But what he said didn't count, so he had to obey the arrangement and go up the mountain by boat.
-
Since Gao Ming left, Hua Rong has been under house arrest in this courtyard. Murong Yanda has kept the agreement with Gao Ming, the food is good, and he has a certain range of activities, but he doesn't want to move, and has been staying in the courtyard obediently.
It was lunch time again, and he calmly waited for the meals to be delivered on time every day.
The door was pushed open, and two soldiers walked in, opened the food box, and brought out the meals one by one. Unlike the past, the four dishes today were all meat dishes, and they were cooked with great care.
Huarong was thoughtful, but he didn't show it. When the people left, he poured half of the food in the corner, and then lay down on the table, pretending to be asleep.
Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, someone sneakily appeared at the door, "It's down! Hurry in and tie it up."
Hua Rong heard footsteps approaching, sat up suddenly, saw two soldiers in front of him, immediately knocked over and stepped on his feet, the other locked his throat, and forced to ask: "What the hell is Murong Yanda doing?!"
He didn't seem to be cooking with such care every day. In the past few days, he felt that there was a lot of turmoil in the yamen, and the food suddenly became better. With Murong Yanda's virtue, there was no ghost. Go on, so I did it with special care.
"General Hua, I, we are just following orders... The higher-ups ordered us to give you sweat medicine, numb you and throw you in prison, that's all."
Huarong realized that something was wrong, Gao Ming must have had a problem, otherwise, Murong Yanda would not dare to break the contract.
Hua Rong knocked the man out, and strode out the door. The guards guarding the courtyard saw that the two soldiers didn't come out, but Hua Rong came out instead. He didn't dare to go forward, everyone surrounded him, only dared to test.
When it was too late, Hua Rong quickly shot, knocked down a soldier nearby, snatched a thin bow, put an arrow on it, and shot a man's bun like lightning, "Stop me again, next time it will be Your eyes." As he said that, he took an arrow again and aimed at the crowd, where the arrow was aimed, the crowd dispersed spontaneously, and no one dared to look at him.
Hua Rong took a bow and arrow and strode towards the Yamen in the front yard.
As soon as Huarong entered the front yard, he saw Murong Yanda sitting in front of a table, with a white cloth wrapped around his head, his face was pale, and the dark circles under his eyes were more conspicuous.
Besides Murong Yanda, there were two old people, a woman, a boy and a girl, all tied up like zongzi.
And in front of them, there was a corpse lying there, covered with a white cloth, it was impossible to see what the corpse looked like.
For some reason, Hua Rong's heart skipped a beat, and he became nervous for no reason.
When Murong Yanda saw Hua Rong, he was terrified, but he didn't want to put his hands on the table, before he could stand up, an arrow shot through his left hand, nailing him firmly to the table.
"Ah—" Murong Yanda screamed.
The surrounding yamen servants came to their senses, there were people with bows and arrows, who were about to release arrows, but Hua Rong noticed it first, shot the arrow over, and Hua Rong picked up the quiver instead.
Another person wanted to sneak attack, but before he got close to Hua Rong, he also shot an arrow, pierced his arm, and rolled on the ground howling.
Hua Rong simply aimed an arrow at Murong Yanda, and said to the people around him: "You can try, whether your arrow is faster or mine."
The magistrate's life was threatened, and no one dared to move.
Hua Rong said, "Put down all your weapons!"
Murong Yanda nodded, everyone in the courtyard listened to the order and slowly put down the weapons in their hands.
Hua Rong went straight to Murong Yanda, "What's going on? What's under the thatch?"
Murong Yan said angrily: "Hua Rong,... Qin Ming betrayed the government, defected to the bandits, murdered and set fire to the rubble village, he wiped out a whole village...and Gao Ming happened to be in that village , was not spared, Huang Xin's body and his body were found, Huang Xin was taken back by his family, this is Gao Ming. Come, open the sheet."
Someone uncovered the tarpaulin and saw a charred corpse inside, black and unrecognizable, with only the left ear remaining, and the right arm and lower limbs were relatively intact.
With his still moving right hand, Murong Yanda drew a few pieces of paper from the table, "This is the document I wrote when Gao Ming and I parted that day. I found it in the inner pocket of the right sleeve of the corpse. Most of them were burned, but the rest are indeed written by my hand."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Hua Rong, seeing that he was still in a state of soullessness, he couldn't help shouting: "Hua Rong, did you hear that? Gao Ming is dead!"
Gao Ming is dead, Gao Qiu will never let it go, they are all doomed!
Murong Yanda pointed to the elderly, women and young people kneeling on the ground, and shouted in a gaffe: "They are Qin Ming's family members! Our government is going to kill them today! If you want, you can do it!"
Qin Ming's family members cried out: "Your Excellency, it is definitely not Qin Ming who did it, someone must have framed it!"
"Someone recognizes his armor and mace, but who is he?!" Yes, no!
At this time, Hua Rong finally came back to his senses, and said in a daze, "This corpse is not Gao Ming's...I don't believe that Qin Ming would commit murder and arson."
"Why not?! Taiwei Gao will not bypass us just because you say no!" Murong Yanda said angrily: "I sent Qin Ming to attack Qingfeng Mountain. After he was captured, he became a general and went to kill the villagers. It’s a certificate of honor! You used to be a magistrate, don’t you understand how robbers do things?! That’s Qin Ming’s certificate of honor!”
Hua Rong stared at the corpse's ear, although it was burnt beyond recognition, but the shape of the ear and the appearance of the intact right hand were not Gao Ming at all.
It's fine if others don't recognize it, how could he not recognize it.
So, Gao Ming is not dead?Where is he now?
Hua Rong asked sharply: "When did this happen?" Murong Yanda was startled by Hua Rong's sudden shout: "It happened five days ago!" "
The place was in a mess, and Gao Ming's body was finally found from the pile of corpses.
Huarong was in despair for a while, it had been five days, what happened to Gao Ming, where is he?
Murong Yanda's original plan was to kill Qin Ming's family, and then blame Hua Rong for all the crimes, so as to appease Taiwei Gao's anger.
It can even be said that Huarong united with Qin Ming, causing Gao Ming to die.
Someone always has to take the blame, but it's definitely not him.
Seeing Huarong lost in thought, Murong Yanda realized that this was a golden opportunity, and frequently winked at others.
Someone understood, quietly picked up the thin bow, and secretly aimed at Huarong.
But the arrow aimed at Hua Rong was released, but Hua Rong grabbed Murong Yanda sideways and blocked it, and it hit Murong's left shoulder blade impartially, causing him to scream like a pig.
Seeing that he hit the prefect by mistake, the archer was in a panic, and was shot down by Hua Rong who was coming towards him.
Hua Rong pulled out the sharp arrow on Murong Yanda's shoulder blade, the pain made Murong Yanda almost faint, and howled again.
Hua Rong reached Murong Yanda's throat with the tip of the arrow, "Bring me my horse, cloak and weapon, and untie the Qin and Ming family members, and prepare three horses for them."
Murong Yanda howled: "Do you know what you are doing? You saved Qin Ming's family, and you will be convicted of colluding with robbers!" As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his throat, and squinted to see Hua Rong looking at him coldly. , Knowing that he can do anything, he dare not say anything.
"You'd better not mess with me now, even if you take your dog's life, believe it or not, I can kill you."
Indeed, with Huarong's ability, even if he was killed now and rode out on horseback, no one would be able to stop him.
Murong Yanda was afraid of death, so he shouted: "Do as he says!"
The magistrate's life was in Hua Rong's hands, and his subordinates rushed to lead the horses, and soon the horses were ready.
Qin Ming's family, as the military officer's family, knew how to ride horses, and when they were untied, they rode on the same horse, took a deep look at Hua Rong, and ran for their lives first.
Hua Rong whistled, and his mount ran up to him by itself, then he pulled out the arrow nailed to Murong Yanda's left hand, threw the man off the horse, turned himself over, beat the horse and followed Qin Ming's family, He rushed out of the yamen and ran towards the gate of the city.
The people from the magistrate's yamen also chased after him on horseback. Just now when Huarong asked them to prepare the horse, they knew that he was going to run, and they had already prepared the cavalry to follow closely behind Huarong.
Hua Rong took out the feathered arrows, turned around and fired three arrows in a row, the arrows were not in vain, and shot the three closest to him under the horse.
When the others saw Hua Rong, they knew how powerful Hua Rong was, so they didn't dare to chase after her.
Seeing that they were not far or near, Hua Rong took three more arrows and turned around to shoot.
When the chasing soldiers met, they instinctively reined in their horses and dared not chase any more.So he quickly opened the distance, watching Hua Rong and his party run out of the city gate from a distance, and they became a few black spots in their sight.
Hua Rong hurried to the rubble village where Gao Ming's accident happened, and he could see a scorched blackness from a distance. Occasionally, there were a few figures among the ruined walls. I don't know if they were the surviving villagers or their relatives and friends, but when they saw Hua Rong and the others coming, They all hid and looked at them timidly.
When Huarong arrived at the place, he jumped off the horse, not to mention the mess of the place, five days passed, some traces have been erased, it is so difficult to find someone.
At this time, Hua Rong saw a shrinking man under the nearest wall, and immediately rushed over to arrest him.
The man was so frightened that he went limp, "The hero, please spare me, don't kill me."
Huarong had a lot to ask, but he didn't know which one to ask first, "Where are the people in the village? Where are the dead and where are the living?"
"The dead are all placed in the open space over there, as for the living... there are only a few of us."
If Gao Ming was alive, he would definitely return to Qingzhou City. After five days, there was no letter from him.
But he didn't see the corpse, so he didn't believe that he was dead. He grabbed the man and said, "Take me to see the corpse."
Murong Yanda said sadly: "You also saw Hua Rong, Qin Ming did all of this."
He didn't speak, Huarong almost forgot about him, and said coldly: "You spread your arms and face me with your palms."
Murong Yanda said vigilantly: "What are you going to do?"
Hua Rong took out an arrow and put it on the bow, "If you don't do it, I'll shoot you in the throat."
Murong Yanda just received an arrow on his arm and left hand, it hurt so much that he could barely lift it up, he slowly turned his palms towards Huarong.
The arrow in Hua Rong's hand was released, and it flew towards Murong Yanda, instantly piercing the palm of his right hand.
"Ahhh—" Murong Yanda knelt down in pain, howling like hell.
"For your brother's sake, I won't kill you! The scar on your hand reminds you to remember this day forever! Get lost!" After Hua Rong finished speaking, he ignored Murong Yanda and dragged the man to the open space to identify the corpse.
Qin Ming's family, who had been watching by the side, also dismounted now, "General Hua, who are you looking for? We will also help you look."
Qin Ming's life and death are uncertain. They have escaped now, but they don't know what to do in the future.
Hua Rong shook his head, and walked towards the clearing in silence. As soon as he entered the clearing, he saw corpses all over the ground, some intact and some burnt.
If Gao Ming's subordinates were afraid that he would be recognized and changed clothes with him, then Gao Ming should be wearing ordinary clothes now, and he would not be found by Murong Yanda's people and sent back to the government.
If he really died, he should be lying here alone as an unknown corpse.
Hua Rong felt his heart was twisted like a knife, so he pulled himself together and went to check the corpses one by one.
"Hero, are you looking for someone?" At this time, an old man who was carrying the corpse didn't want to mind his own business, but seeing Hua Rong's sad face, he couldn't help but said, "Not all the corpses here, some people were kidnapped. "
"The kidnapping is gone?" Huarong woke up like a dream. These robbers have always loved to kidnap good people and become robbers to enrich their strength.
After thanking the old man, he ran to the horse, got on the horse, and was about to ride the horse to Qingfeng Mountain.
When Qin Ming's family saw Hua Rong riding away on horseback, they all followed, "General Hua, where are you going?"
"I'm going to Qingfeng Mountain to find someone, you can do what you want, don't follow me." Even Huarong himself doesn't know what the future will look like.
Qin Ming's family did not back down, and Mrs. Qin Ming said: "Our family will never commit murder and arson. There must be a misunderstanding. He must be in Qingfeng Mountain, and we will also go to Qingfeng Mountain."
Love to follow, let's follow, Hua Rong didn't speak, and continued to ride towards Qingfeng Mountain.
When it was evening, he saw a man on horseback in front of him, dressed in military uniform and carrying a mace, it was Qin Ming.
"Father—" Qin Ming's son and daughter had good eyesight, they saw their father first, and shouted excitedly.
Huarong also recognized Qin Ming, knowing that this road leads to Qingfeng Mountain, so he hurriedly asked, "Are you coming from Qingfeng Mountain?"
Seeing his family members and Hua Rong together, Qin Ming was very surprised, "Why are you here?"
"A few days ago you led troops to massacre the rubble village. Prefect Murong was furious and arrested us for execution. Fortunately, General Hua came to our rescue." Qin Ming's old mother wept.
When Qin Ming heard this, he jumped off his horse in horror, "What's going on?"
Qin Ming's old father said: "It's a long story, thank you General Hua first."
Huarong rescued Qin Ming's parents, wife, and a pair of children. He immediately came to Huarong, knelt down and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your kindness, and I will pay respects to Qin Ming."
Hua Rong helped Qin Ming up, "I just follow the trend, you're welcome. Are you from Qingfeng Mountain?"
Qin Ming said angrily: "I was ordered to attack Qingfeng Village, and wanted to take it back, but who would have thought that the robbers caught me up in the mountain and locked me up for many days, and I was not allowed to go down the mountain because of wine and food? , Today finally a minion came and let me go, so I hurried down the mountain."
"Have you seen Kochifu?"
Qin Ming shook his head, "No, I was locked up alone. And when I went down the mountain, it was pitch black and there was no one. I asked before I knew that the bandits were going to flee to Liangshan, and they abandoned this place. Leaving two people to watch the village, most of the people would have left long ago.”
Hua Rong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He thought bitterly, this group of thieves knew that they would massacre the rubble village, and they would definitely call in a large army to suppress them, so they abandoned this place and went to a bigger mountain.
So, was Gao Ming also taken captive to Liangshan?
Hua Rong looked at the vast land and felt a sharp pain in his heart. Gao Ming was very weak, how could he survive the bitter cold weather.
"Liang Shan, is that right?" Hua Rong remounted and turned around.
When Qin Ming heard that he was going to Liangshan, he said in horror: "That Liangshan is a bigger den of robbers. Now there is a man named Chao Gai as the leader there, and he has attracted many villains from the rivers and lakes to make trouble. What are you going to do?"
"Looking for someone." Hua Rong didn't want to say more.
"If you go to Liangshan to find someone, then you have to become one of them. How can you be a robber after you are the general?"
What is more important than human life?No matter what to do, as long as you can find Gao Ming.
"There will be a period later." Hua Rong didn't want to waste any time, hit the horse and ran out.
The horseshoes raised waves of snow dust on the ground, like broken jade flowers.
