Chapter 171 Crossing the River Before Dawn
As soon as Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin left, the waist knife in Gao Bufan's hand was broken into more than a dozen pieces and scattered on the ground. Seeing this, Dou Xianniang couldn't help but spit out her pink tongue.
Pei Xingyan was also surprised. It seemed that the waist knife was only prevented from breaking on the spot by Gao Bufan's strength. In fact, it had long been overwhelmed. Now as soon as Gao Bufan took back his strength, the waist knife immediately appeared, which shows that Qin Shubao
The power of this pair of maces is impressive even to Changqing. With this internal skill, he may have already entered the ranks of top masters.
"Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin are both figures, and they are worth making friends with." Liu Wuzhou said subconsciously after being shocked.
Gao Bufan glanced at Liu Wuzhou, who had a complicated expression, and said with a smile: "In that case, Liu Duizheng will be responsible for delivering the twenty stones of grain to Qin Shubao, and we can get acquainted with him by the way."
Liu Wuzhou's heart trembled, and he smiled and said: "Such a heroic man, my subordinate is so worthy to get to know him, it makes Mr. Gao laugh."
"Heroes should not ask where they come from. There is no distinction between high and low heroes. Go ahead." Gao Bufan waved his hand and said.
"I obey," Liu Wuzhou said respectfully, feeling a little weak for no reason. Gao Bufan's eyes were as clear as streams and as bright as stars. Every time he stood in front of him, there was always a feeling of being seen through. This feeling was better than stripping naked.
It's even more shameful and uncomfortable than running down the street.
After Liu Wuzhou left, Pei Xingyan's face immediately darkened. He called Bufan aside and whispered: "Chang Qing, if this idiot Li Dalang stays, it will be a disaster sooner or later. I will take care of him right now."
Gao Bufan quickly stopped him and said, "Don't be impulsive, Xingyan. The Li family is powerful. Both you and your father are officials in the court, so you must act cautiously."
Pei Xingyan frowned and said, "But if Li Dalang returns to the Sui Dynasty alive, he may not cause trouble for you and me."
Gao Bufan said solemnly: "People are doing it, and God is watching. If you do too many bad things, God will send you a favor, so we don't need to take action."
Pei Xingyan looked strange when he heard this and hesitated to speak. According to his understanding, Gao Changqing is not such a pedantic person. Haven't you heard the saying "good people don't live long, bad people have trouble for thousands of years"? Waiting for God to send you is simply a joke.
Gao Bufan coughed slightly and said: "Xingyan, when I first came into this forest, I seemed to see a tiger. I asked everyone to be careful tonight. You are not allowed to leave the camp alone. You must go together when you go out.
"
Pei Xingyan's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately: "Okay."
Twenty shi of grain was about two thousand kilograms. Liu Wuzhou took his soldiers and moved them all to Qin Qiong's camp at once.
"General Qin, this is twenty stones of grain sent by Mr. Gao's subordinates. Please check it." Liu Wuzhou cupped his hands and said.
Qin Qiong nodded and said politely: "When a certain family sends a message to thank Mr. Gao, at dawn tomorrow, a certain family will send someone to deliver the ten-bow raft."
"Okay, I will take General Qin's words to you and say goodbye." After Liu Wuzhou finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, but Luo Shixin stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, what is your name? What is your position?"
Liu Wu was happy on Monday, but he was worried that he would not have the chance to leave his name, so he quickly said: "I am Liu Wuzhou, a native of the capital city of Hejian. I used to serve as the captain of the team under Yang Taipu. Thanks to Mr. Gao's respect, I now command a team of troops."
"It turns out it's Liu Duizheng, whom I've admired for a long time." Luo Shixin was polite and polite, and then asked: "I have something to ask Liu Duizheng."
Liu Wuzhou said: "General Luo is being polite, what's the matter?"
Luo Shixin laughed at himself: "What kind of general am I? I'm just a small soldier. Just call me Luo Shixin. Did you really carry a supply point from Gaojuren three days ago?"
Liu Wuzhou nodded and said: "That's true. The supply point is only seventy or eighty miles away from here, and there are 1,200 defenders stationed there."
Luo Shixin was doubtful: "Seriously, how did you, with hundreds of people, win this difficult battle?"
Although Liu Wuzhou was not willing to make Gao Bufan famous, he was also involved in this battle, and he also took the opportunity to leave a good impression on Qin and Luo, so he told the story with added detail.
After hearing this, Qin Qiong couldn't help but exclaimed: "Master Gao uses his troops in an eclectic way, defeating many with less, which is eye-opening."
Although Luo Shixin was not convinced, he had to admit that Gao Bufan's victory in this battle was really good. At the same time, he secretly regretted the food. If he had taken all the grain away, he would definitely take it away.
"By the way, why are there women in your army?" Luo Shixin asked curiously, thinking of the fair-eyed girl next to Gao Bufan.
Liu Wuzhou's heart moved. Could it be that Luo Shixin fell in love with Liu Xianniang at first sight? He asked, "Brother Luo is talking about the girl next to Mr. Gao?"
Luo Shixin's face turned red and he nodded.
Liu Wuzhou smiled and said: "Her name is Liu Xianniang. When I met Mr. Gao, she was already in the team. I don't know her specific origin, but Miss Liu and Mr. Gao are very close. They should be a couple."
When Luo Shixin heard this, he didn't ask any more questions. Qin Qiong cupped his hand and said, "Thank you very much, Captain Liu, for informing me that the conditions here are poor and a certain family will not accept guests."
Not keeping guests means sending guests away, so Liu Wuzhou said goodbye and left in a sensible manner.
After Liu Wuzhou left with his people, Qin Qiong glanced at Luo Shixin and said, "What, have you fallen in love with this girl?"
Luo Shixin said slightly embarrassed: "It's okay. Didn't Li Dalang say that Gao Bufan bullies men and dominates women and does all kinds of evil? I just want to verify it. Brother Qin, you are overthinking it."
"Then how's the verification going?"
Luo Shixin shook his head seriously and said: "Liu Wuzhou's words cannot prove that Liu Xianniang was not kidnapped by Gao Bufan."
Qin Qiong raised her foot and kicked Luo Shixin's butt, saying coldly: "Look, that little girl named Liu is eager to stick to Gao Bufan, and she even scolds you until you are bloody. Doesn't it look like she was forced at all?
?You believe what a dude like Li Dalang says?"
Luo Shixin rubbed his butt dejectedly and said, "Brother Qin, you were also deceived by Li Dalang, otherwise why would you have gone to Gao Bufan to ask for food?"
Qin Qiong said calmly: "Even if I wasn't deceived by Li Dalang, I would still go to Gao Bufan for food."
Luo Shixin suddenly said: "It turns out that Brother Qin is just pushing the boat along."
Qin Qiong nodded and said: "Shixin, you must remember that you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must not have the intention of guarding against others. You must be upright, but not stupid. With your temper, you can easily be used as a weapon by others.
, Brother, the reason why I don’t point it out is because I want you to learn a lesson.”
Luo Shixin lowered his head in shame: "Brother Qin taught you a lesson, Shixin has learned a lesson."
"It can be seen that Gao Changqing has a high prestige in the team, and the people below him support him very much. If he is really as unbearable as Li Dalang said, how could he be so popular, so as soon as I entered their camp, I
I know Li Dalang is lying." Qin Qiong sighed: "Gao Changqing is not a simple man, but it's a pity that he is just a white man, and he leads the army with an unjust reputation."
Luo Shixin said doubtfully: "Gao Changqing asked Brother Qin to promise him something, but I don't know how to feel at ease. Fortunately, if he makes unreasonable demands, Brother Qin can refuse."
Qin Qiong said: "Don't worry, this person is very measured and cannot make excessive demands. Send the order. After everyone has eaten, they will build a wooden raft overnight and cross the river before dawn tomorrow."
Luo Shixin was surprised: "So urgent?"
Qin Qiong nodded and said: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. There is not much time left for us. The sooner we leave, the better."
Luo Shixin thought for a while and suddenly said: "Brother Qin said the same thing. This guy Gao Bufan brought the supply point of the Goguryeo people. It would be strange if they didn't go crazy. They must be searching all over the sky now, and they will find this place soon. We are sure
You have to leave quickly."
Qin Qiong said noncommittally: "Everyone has eaten enough. Send the remaining food to those in the west and east and ask them if they want to join us tomorrow."
Luo Shixin said quickly: "Then should we inform that boy Gao Bufan?"
Qin Qiong hesitated for a moment. There were more than 700 people under Gao Bufan's command, and he had just arrived today. There were not so many rafts, so it was impossible for him to cross the river with him. However, he thought about it and finally nodded: "Let me know, if he
If you are willing, you can send some people to cross the river with us. After we cross the river, we can prop up the raft back here to pick up the people. But it will be dawn by then, and the risk of exposure is too high. I am afraid Gao Bufan will not agree."
