Chapter 16 Intrigue
"I have black cloth strips here. Now I will cover you with my eyes first, and I won't tie you up with my hands and feet. But you have to be more disciplined, how about it?"
The black eye mask looked out and felt that the time was almost over. He took out a black cloth from his arms and reached out to cover Gao Qiu's eyes.
Anyway, he can't beat others. Gao Qiu has no self-defense weapon on his body. If he wants to blindfold his eyes, Gao Qiu has no choice but to do so. But then again, in his current state, Gao Qiu can't see where he is now, so it will not have any impact on others' eyes.
He allowed the other party to cover his eyes with a black cloth strip, but Gao Qiu's hand was not idle in the dark. He was preparing to find almost time to tear off a piece of cloth from his clothes, no matter where he threw it, at least he could give Zhang Qian and others some guidance to those who rescued him.
As for whether this carriage would rush out of Bianliang City directly, Gao Qiu was not worried. Not to mention Bianliang City, this carriage could not even enter the ordinary house. After all, there were not many doors in Bianliang City.
However, Gao Qiu finally miscalculated. I don’t know where he was. The black eye mask grabbed Gao Qiu’s arm and took him out of the carriage, then grabbed Gao Qiu and jumped out of the carriage. The black eye mask’s skill was naturally needless to say. He could grab Gao Qiu onto the carriage casually. The man’s lower plate was as stable as Mount Tai, but Gao Qiu couldn’t do it. His body had only improved a little over the years. After this jump, he immediately staggered. While his body was stable, he was grabbed by the black eye mask into a yard. At this time, Gao Qiu didn’t have time to tear off the corner of his clothes.
Just after the black eye mask brought Gao Qiu into the yard, the carriage continued to speed and ran forward. After that, the carriage of Zhang Qian and others also roared past the door of the yard.
Although he didn't know where he was, Gao Qiu kicked the threshold when he passed by. He knew that he had not left any clues to the person who rescued him. Gao Qiu knew in his heart that he might be in trouble this time.
"Hey? Where are you going to take me? If you want me to meet someone or want to ask me what I have, you always have to tell me?"
Just as he was held hostage and walked forward, his eyes were unable to see anything. Gao Qiu felt very uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, no one took care of Gao Qiu at all and took him directly to a place that seemed to be a woodshed. The reason why Gao Qiu couldn't see it was because Gao Qiu could not see it, but felt that his back was stabbed by something like a wooden stick. After a squeak, Gao Qiu closed his mouth because at this time, he obviously locked him here, and nothing else was useless.
"well!"
After sighing, Gao Qiu did not reach out to pick the black cloth in front of him. After all, I don’t know what the situation is. If that person is still standing aside, he will be in trouble.
Since people have not done substantial harm to themselves, Gao Qiu is too lazy to cause trouble for himself or escape, so he doesn't have to fantasize about his own body. People are more likely to know themselves. Gao Qiu may not have much ability, but few people are good at it in terms of self-knowledge.
He leaned against the more comfortable hay next to him, and Gao Qiu simply closed his eyes and took care of himself. Because his eyes were covered, Gao Qiu didn't know how long it took, but he heard a rustling sound outside, and then a squeak of "squeak" sound, followed by a "bang", and the door was taken up again.
Gao Qiu, who heard the sound, did not dare to make a big move, but his ears stood up and he was ready to listen to the movements outside.
Outside the woodshed, the moonlight was bright, and the black eye mask and a gorgeously dressed man were standing at the door, arguing constantly.
"What does it mean? We have 'invite' you to send us a message, and you want to send us a "no"?"
The black eye mask suppressed the anger in his heart and argued with the person opposite him.
"What does it mean? What does it mean? How did you do it? How did you tell you when you came to me? Please 'invite' the person who came out of Duan Prince's Mansion. I have something to ask him. That's what he said at that time, right?"
I was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the black eye mask, but the other party was not so easy to mess with, so the man in the brocade and gorgeous clothes did not get angry directly.
"Yes! Isn't this a person 'invite' for you! Stop talking nonsense, get the money!"
The black eye mask was already a little impatient and reached out directly in front of the other party.
"Go to you! I asked you to invite those people who came out of Duan Prince's Mansion, but why did you want to rob people in the street? You also have to rob people in front of Duan Prince's Mansion! Do you know that you kidnapped Duan Qiansui!"
The man in the brocade clothes could not contain the panic in his heart at this time and started shouting in dismay.
Hiding in the woodshed, Gao Qiu listened roughly to the sound outside. The clearest one was the sentence "You kidnapped Duan Qiansui." Obviously, the other party mistakenly thought of himself as Zhao Ji.
But is this possible? Of course it is possible.
Zhao Ji lives a wealthy life, but he is not a pampered person on weekdays. When he is fine, he always likes to go out to play dogs, so he is not very fat. Specifically, he should be thin but has some muscles. Gao Qiu's health has been better in recent years, and it is roughly the same as Zhao Ji's figure. The only difference is that Zhao Ji is stronger.
The most important thing is that what Gao Qiu is wearing now is Zhao Ji's clothes! As for Gao Qiu's own clothes, he gave them to Zhang Qian when he left the Duan Palace. At this time, I don't know if they were taken home.
Therefore, it was natural for the other party to recognize Gao Qiu as Zhao Ji. However, in this way, Gao Qiu was at ease.
If it is just Gao Qiu, then it is not guaranteed that the other party will kill him casually. Not to mention whether Zhao Ji will organize people to save him. Even if Zhao Ji sent a large number of people out, Gao Qiu was killed by someone. What else can I say? But now that the other party recognizes Gao Qiu as King Duan Zhao Ji, they will definitely not dare to attack Gao Qiu at will.
Although Duan Zhao Ji is just an idle prince now, he is the prince of the Song Dynasty after all. Even if he is not qualified to participate in the battle for the throne, no one will dare to attack him. Because he is the prince of the Song Dynasty and the face of the court, anyone who dares to attack Zhao Ji is declared war on the court.
The people outside may have realized that their voice was too loud and quickly lowered their voice again. Naturally, Gao Qiu couldn't hear what the people outside were saying.
With a squeak, the door of the woodshed was pushed open again. Gao Qiu felt the black cloth covered in his eyes being grabbed by someone, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and then Gao Qiu saw the black eye mask appear in front of him.
"What? Are you planning to let me go?"
Even though he knew that this was unlikely, Gao Qiu still joked with the other party in a big and small way.
"Don't talk nonsense!" The black eye mask looked sinister, staring at Gao Qiu with a deep breath, then asked, "Are you King Duan Zhao Ji?"
"Uh... I want to say that I am not Duan Zhao Ji, what would you think?"
Gao Qiu didn't know whether to deny it or admit it. In desperation, he shrugged his shoulders and asked the black eye mask.
The man hiding at the door of the woodshed saw Gao Qiu's movement, and suddenly his body trembled. Others didn't know that he understood. He didn't know who had this habit in the entire Song Dynasty, but in Tokyo Bianliang, he only knew one person who could have this habit, that is, King Duan Zhao Ji!
Of course, no one knew that King Duan Zhao Ji's habitual movements were actually learned from Gao Qiu.
"I can't tell the story of King Duan Zhao Ji? Then who can you be? I came out of the Duan Palace and dressed so gorgeously. You said you are not King Duan, do you believe it yourself?"
The black eye mask heard the movement behind him clearly, and had already confirmed Gao Qiu's identity in his heart.
"Okay, okay! Don't ask too much, just say, what are you going to do?"
In order to prevent people from being asked, Gao Qiu still planned to skip this topic and directly question the other party.
"What's wrong? I said, King Duan Qiansui, aren't you afraid?"
A trace of admiration flashed in the black eye mask's eyes, but it immediately became cold.
"Not afraid? I'm afraid to death, but what if I'm afraid? Can you let me go because I'm afraid? How to deal with me is your business, but can you get me some food now? It's dark outside, and I haven't even drunk a drop of water since I finished my meal in the morning. If I keep hungry, I'll starve to death without you."
Too lazy to argue with the black eye mask, Gao Qiu responded casually for a few words, and then started begging for food.
In the morning, Zhao Yuer made a table of dishes, but Zhao Yuer was watching him. Every bite of dishes Gao Qiu swallowed was scraping his throat, so he didn't eat much. If he hadn't been lying down, Gao Qiu might have lost the strength long ago.
"Drink! Are you quite calm? Okay, you wait here! I'll ask someone to get you some food, but don't run around. The people guarding outside have eyes, but the steel knife in their hands, hum! I won't know you, King Duan!"
The black eye mask snorted coldly, threw the strip of cloth in his hand on Gao Qiu, and then turned around and walked outside the woodshed.
"Ha~hhh!"
Gao Qiu threw the cloth aside, yawned for a long time, then leaned against the hay, and rested with peace of mind.
