Chapter 393 The death of Lu Boshe cannot be changed!
As mentioned above, Gai Nie failed to assassinate Dong, so he fled towards Yanzhou in the southeast on a horse from Xiliang!
When Gai Nie had just arrived fifty miles outside Luoyang City, he saw in the distance a whole group of Xiliang soldiers patrolling back and forth outside Hulao Pass. He had an idea and took out the warrant Dong Zhuo handed him when he was offering his sword in the small pavilion, and then
We passed the pass openly and honestly.
After leaving Hulao Pass, Gai Nie rode his fast horse straight towards Qiaojun in Yanzhou. Running around day and night made him exhausted, so he rested at a place called Zhongmu County on the way. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the county.
He was captured by Chinese officers and soldiers and turned to the county magistrate's house.
The magistrate of Zhongmu County asked who his surname was. Gai Nie was unwilling to answer truthfully, fearing that this person would send him to the Prime Minister's Palace of the Dong thief, so he made up a taboo and replied anxiously: "I am traveling from the north to the south.
The merchant who is about to enter Yanzhou has a surname of Huangfu and a given name of De! If the county magistrate has nothing to do, please let me go."
The Zhongmu County Magistrate had already seen Ge Nie's portrait on the wanted notice. Now that he saw that he had fabricated his name, he couldn't help but ponder for a while, then frowned slightly and said, "I once went to Luoyang to seek an official position, and I met you at Wang Situ's house.
I also know clearly that your name is Gai Nie, and you were given the title of Xiaoqi Xiaowei by Dong Zhuo.
Now you are wanted, but you were captured in Zhongmu County. Even if you hide your name, I know your name is Gai Nie!
Come, put this guy in prison for now, and he can be escorted to the capital tomorrow morning to collect the reward from Dong Xiangguo."
The Zhongmu County Magistrate ordered his subordinates to imprison Gai Nie in a prison cell, and then ordered everyone to disperse!
Late at night, the magistrate of Zhongmu County secretly summoned his trusted officials and assigned him to go to the prison and bring Ge Nie to his backyard. He had something to ask him.
Seeing that the official entered the prison and escorted Gai Nie to the backyard of the county magistrate's house, just when Gai Nie was at a loss what to do, the county magistrate sat on the armchair and asked him plainly: "I heard that Dong
The Prime Minister treats you well, so why are you asking for trouble? Now the entire Sili and other nearby states and counties are looking for you!"
Gai Nie smiled disdainfully and said: "How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? Since you have captured me, you can take me to the capital of Luoyang tomorrow to receive the reward from Thief Dong. No need to ask any more questions!"
When the magistrate of Zhongmu County saw Gai Nie's behavior, he couldn't help but call his officials away, and then asked him again: "You guy, don't underestimate me. I am not an ordinary official. I have a lot of knowledge, but I just haven't met the Ming Dynasty!"
"My ancestors have been eating the king's salary for generations. If I don't want to serve the country, what difference will I have with that beast? I bent down to serve the Dong thief, but I just wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate him. I bent down to do outstanding things and eliminate harm for the country.
Now that the assassination attempt has failed, it is only God’s will!"
Gai Nie was heartbroken and burst into tears. However, his appearance shocked Zhongmu County Magistrate Yang Shi and he could not calm down for a long time.
And as the magistrate of Zhongmu County, his current location is not too far away from that Sili Luoyang. Naturally, he is aware of the atrocities committed by Dong Thief after he led the Xiliang army into Luoyang, such as: abolition, massacre of aristocratic families, and wanton killing.
Important ministers of the imperial court...
"Gai Nie, where are you fleeing to?"
"I have heard for a long time that Cao Mengde of Yanzhou is a loyal and virtuous minister of the Han Dynasty, and he has an old friendship with me. This time I want to return to my hometown, join Mengde's command, help him distribute corrective edicts, and summon all the princes in the world to raise troops to kill Dong Zhuo!"
Gai Nie's words made Yang Shi's eyes light up. If he was really allowed to join Cao Cao in Yanzhou, it might not be possible.
It has been heard that Cao Mengde has a close relationship with Yuan Shu of Yuzhou and Yuan Shao of Jizhou. If he sends out false edicts and leads his army north to attack Dong, he will respond to his call and the other princes will also go with him. The princes will unite their forces to attack Dong. Dong's thief will not be far away when he dies!
The magistrate of Zhongmu County looked at Gai Nie meaningfully, and seeing that what he said did not seem to be false, he loosened all the ropes that bound him, and then helped him sit down.
"General Gai Nie is truly a loyal man! This time I am going south to Yanzhou to join Cao Mengde. I also ask General Gai Nie to take me with him."
Gai Nie was shocked and hurriedly helped Yang Shi up, and the two chatted happily until early morning. During the conversation, Yang Shi mentioned that his friend You You was talented. Gai Nie was overjoyed, so he went with Yang Shi.
Visited You Ye, and then invited him to join Yan's ranks.
At noon, the three of them packed their bags hastily, prepared their horses, changed their clothes, picked up their swords to defend themselves, and ran straight towards Qiaojun!
The group of people galloped day and night for three days before arriving in Chenggao. The sky was dark and the sun was setting in the west. Genie raised his riding whip, pointed to a place deep in the jungle, and told Yang Shi and You Ye beside him:
"I have always been friends with Mengde, and there is a family deep in the dense forest. His surname is Lu and his name is Boshe. He is the sworn brother of Mengde's father. The three of us can go to his house to rest for a night.
What do you two think about continuing on our journey?"
Yang Shi and You Ye had no objection, so they went deep into the dense forest to find Lu Boshe's manor, and then they knocked on its door to get in and rest!
Seeing Gai Nie coming, Lu Boshe quickly ordered his servants to bring tea and water to serve them, and then asked Gai Nie
"I heard that the imperial court issued a reward order and documents, and they are eager to capture you. Mengde has already sent troops to rescue you. You...what happened to you that led to you being wanted?"
Gai Nie chuckled attentively, and then told Lu Boshe about the recent events one by one. Then he saw him and said: "If it weren't for the help of Mr. Yang Shi and You Zuo, I might have been killed by Xiliang soldiers long ago.
He is dead!"
Hearing this, Lu Boshe hurriedly saluted Yang Shi and You Ye, thanking them for taking good care of Gai Nie along the way. Everyone was chatting and laughing until dusk and sunset, when Lu Boshe remembered that he had not prepared ingredients for tomorrow!
Lu Boshe left with an excuse, and ordered his son to go to a nearby county to buy meat food, and prepare a banquet at noon the next day to entertain the distinguished guests!
Everyone entered the bed, and the night became brighter and brighter.
Early the next morning, Lu Boshe told Gai Nie and Yang Shi: "I don't have good wine at home, so I can go to the West Village to buy a bottle for you." After saying this, he and his son hurriedly got on the donkey and left!
The good times did not last long. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry under the command of Dong Thief in Luoyang arrived outside Lu Boshe's village and wanted to enter for inspection, but were intercepted by the Lu family's servants. When Gai Nie and his party heard the news, they were shocked and hurriedly hid in the hut.
I thought that the Xiliang cavalry would leave after searching without any results, but I never thought that bandits like them were eyeing the treasure in Luzhuang and had evil intentions.
Regardless of the identity of the soldiers, he slaughtered the entire Lu Boshe's manor, and then rushed to nearby counties with the stolen gold and silver treasures!
Coincidentally, Lu Boshe and his son were returning from buying meat dishes and fine wine at this time. When they saw the Xiliang cavalry coming out of their manor covered in blood, they couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears.
"The thief Dong is so cruel that he allowed you gang of robbers to cause harm to the countryside..."
Before Lu Boshe could finish speaking, the soldiers of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry drew their bows and arrows, killed the father and son on the spot, and then left with a light cavalry.
After a long time, Gai Nie and his party came out from the hut and saw bodies lying in various directions in the village. They couldn't help but feel extremely sad. After walking a few steps further, they saw the bodies of Lu Boshe and his son again.
"Thief Dong must die a happy death. I am the one who harmed Lu Boshe today!"
Gai Nie burst into tears and gritted his teeth, swallowing hatred into his belly. He suppressed the anger in his heart and silently cooperated with Yang Shi and You Ye to bury the corpse in the village. Then the group kowtowed three times outside the village and rushed to Cao Ying!
