Gao pragmatic was surprised: "Thieves? Horse bandits?"
"Yes, Master Biao, come back to the carriage!" Zhang Jin didn't have time to say anything, and hurriedly pulled Gao Pangshi and ran towards the carriage. As he ran, he loudly greeted the guards who had just finished setting up camp: "Everyone, listen, are you there?"
There are a lot of messy horse footsteps, it's probably the thieves running towards us, so everyone gets on their horses!"
While he was talking, Gao Jingshi had been forced back into the carriage by Zhang Jin. Before he could open the curtains to see his group of guards making arrangements, two little girls, Shang Yue and Ting Qin, were already grabbing his two breasts, one on the left and the other on the right.
arm.
My sister looked at the moon and said nervously: "Young master, what should I do? The thieves are coming." My sister didn't say anything when she heard the piano, but Gao pragmatically took a look at her face, which was paler than her sister's, and knew that she was even more frightened.
In fact, Gao Pragmatic himself was very nervous at the moment - he hadn't traveled through time to become a peerless warrior, so how could he not panic when encountering horse bandits in the wilderness? Besides, even if he traveled through time and became a peerless warrior, the eight-year-old warrior brother wouldn't be able to stand up to him.
Use it!
But Gao pragmatically comforted him subconsciously: "Don't panic, it's not a big problem." Although he seemed to be just an eight-year-old child, after all, he was already over thirty before he traveled through time, and he was working with and as a leader.
He has long developed the habit of not panicking when things happen, so when he said these words, at least in the eyes of others, his expression was still very calm.
Shangyue asked again hurriedly, "How did the thieves know that we are here? Are they here to steal money?"
"How do I..." Before Gao Pingshi could finish his sentence of "How do I know?", he suddenly paused and felt something in his heart.
Yes, how come we happened to run into this group of thieves? And their location happened to be at the intersection of this three-way road?
Silver? Yes, my uncle unexpectedly rewarded me a huge sum of five thousand taels. In addition to the three thousand taels that were returned to Gaofu, I also brought two thousand taels of cash with the motorcade. But the question is how did the thieves know?
Are there traitors among the group of people I am leading?
Gao pragmatic thought for a while and ruled out this suspicion: This group of people has been following the big team. Even if they become traitors, they have no chance to pass on the news. Is it possible that they still have mobile phones? Besides, they didn't even know where I was going at first.
I don’t know if I will bring any cash, so the possibility of a traitor in the team can be ruled out for the time being.
That is, being followed? This is quite possible.
However, Gao Pragmatic could not guess when he was being followed: he had been sitting in the carriage. Although he opened the curtains from time to time to look at the snow scene, he did not pay much attention to the surrounding situation. After all, in his mind, the Ming Dynasty
No matter how bad the public security is, the capital should still be very safe. Even if you care, it's useless. If there are thieves stalking you, you won't be stupid enough to let Gao Pingshi have no precautions and no experience.
people can see it.
Thinking of this, he suddenly stretched out his hand to open the front curtain of the carriage, and said to Gao Mo, the coachman who had followed him to Beijing from Gao's house in Xinzheng: "Gao Mo, when we left the capital just now, did you notice that we might be captured?"
Who is following you?"
Gao Mo, who was in his forties and lean but did not look old at all, shook his head and said: "Young master, if there is a person at the gate of the city who wants to follow a convoy like ours, he will never be discovered, and this group of people will never be discovered.
The thief and we must have met by chance."
Gao Jingshi rarely communicated with Gao Mo, so when he suddenly heard him reply like this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and subconsciously asked: "Why?"
Gao Mo replied: "Because the sound of the horse's hooves is too messy and too rapid. Even if the thieves are not as well-trained as the army, they won't rush their horses in the middle of winter just to rob us of two thousand taels of silver. Because of this,
First, the cavalry will be scattered. Secondly, it is the twelfth month of winter. Running like this is very bad for the mounts... A big reason why it is difficult to suppress the thieves is because they move too fast. Running like this without any effort must be
There are bigger things."
Gao Pingshi was startled for a moment, secretly thinking that this analysis was reasonable, but on the other hand, he was a little strange. How could Gao Mo, a horseman, have such insight?
Gao Pragmatic naturally wouldn't hide any doubts he had about his groom, and asked directly: "I didn't realize you were so knowledgeable before. You have always been my groom?"
Gao Mo bowed slightly and replied calmly: "Young Master Mingjian, Mo was originally a personal soldier of Ling Bocun'an when he was the admiral of Cao Jiang. In his early years, he fought some battles with Japanese pirates and suppressed some rogue bandits.
Later, Duke Cun'an offended Yan Song and his son because of his lax remarks, and returned home from official duties. Some of our old brothers volunteered to accompany Cun'an back home... In the second year of Longqing, before Cun'an passed away, he arranged for Mo to work in the sixth room.
.”
The Cun'an Gong in Gao Mo's mouth is Gao Jie, Gao Jie's pragmatic uncle. His courtesy name is Jianqing and his nickname is Cun'an. In the 13th year of Jiajing's reign, he ranked 12th in the Jiawu Science and Technology Provincial Examination, and in the 14th year of Jiajing's reign, he ranked 22nd in the Yiwei Science and Technology Examination.
Ten, one hundred and ninety-one of the top three in the imperial examination. He was first appointed as the chief of the Guizhou Cleaning Officials Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs. In November of the 23rd year of Jiajing, he was transferred to the chief of the Cleaning and Officials Department of the Ministry of War. In August of the 24th year of Jiajing, he was promoted to the Ministry of War.
He served as a member of the Qing Dynasty official department, Yuan Wailang. He later served as the magistrate of Yanzhou Prefecture in Shandong, deputy envoy of the Shanxi Procuratorate, and chief minister of Jiangxi Province. In June of the 35th year of Jiajing, Gao Jie was ordered to serve as the right minister of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Governor Shi was in charge of Cao Jiang and patrolling the river. He led his troops to repel Japanese invaders many times. In the seventh month of the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, Yan Shifan ordered Nanjing to impeach Gao Jie to Chen Qing because he offended the powerful minister Yan Song and his son.
He was demoted to Cao Pu as Deputy Envoy of Military Preparation, but not long after Gao Jie was promoted to Shaanxi Youyou to participate in politics due to his meritorious service. However, the Yan family's father and son were still angry, and again sent officials to falsely impeach him. Gao Jie was so angry that he abandoned his official position and returned home.
Gao Jie has always been upright and forthright, and he takes pride in being a chivalrous person. He serves as an official to benefit the poor and destroy the strong, and to support the weak and detect traitors. He is usually idle in martial arts and is not proud of his achievements. After returning home, he stays at home to thank guests, does not talk about worldly affairs, and does not walk.
Gongting. An Xin teaches his children and guides the countryside. Gao Jie is studying in the countryside. It was Gao Jie who gave him the education in the beginning and Gao Jie personally taught him. To a certain extent, Gao Jie is not only his uncle.
, or an enlightening mentor.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the second year of Longqing, Gao Jie passed away at the age of sixty-seven. In the same year, Gao Gong was expelled back to his hometown and personally taught Gao Pragmatism.
As for why Gao Mo was assigned to the sixth room before Gao Jie's death, although Gao Mo himself did not say it, Gao Pragmatic could guess: His uncle Gao Jie only had one biological son and one adopted son. The name of the adopted son was the same as that of Gao Gong's nephew.
Zhang Mengnan has the same name as Gao Mengnan. He is the son of an old friend of Gao Jie. He is in poor health. He has been married for more than ten years but has no children. Gao Jie's own son is named Gao Wuzi, who is considered the eldest brother of Gao Jie's generation.
In the early years, I was idle and idle. Although I had no major faults, I also had no great talents. After Gao Jie returned to his hometown for strict supervision, he became a bit like a person in the past few years. However, although his character has changed greatly, his academic progress has not been great, so
I am still studying in my hometown.
Gao Wuzi was more than twenty years older than Gao Jingshi, so his eldest son Gao Ruichun was ten years older than Gao Jingshi. In March of the 42nd year of Jiajing, Gao Gong, who was the left minister of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, was three years old.
After passing the exam, he was ordered to send his son to prison to study. Since Gao Gong had no children, he could randomly arrange one person in the family as a rule. Gao Gong considered that Gao Wuzi at that time seemed to be a "rotten tree that cannot be carved", and he was afraid that his eldest brother would not be able to live with him in the future.
The future was worrying, so he summoned his grand-nephew Gao Ruiqiu to Chengyin to study in the Imperial College. He is now in the capital, but the Imperial College has been more strict after Gao Gong was appointed as a wine worshiper.
After coming to Beijing, I only met this nephew who was ten years older than me once.
There was no pillar of support in the Changfang's family, so Gao Jie was naturally worried about letting Gao Wuzi take care of his old subordinates, so he scattered them in different rooms. It was for this reason that Gao Mo was transferred to the sixth room.
"That's it." Gao pragmatic sighed, and just as he was about to say something, he saw Gao Xiaozhuang running over on his horse, holding two knives in his hands, and shouted loudly: "Uncle Mo! The Zhang family guards called us
You two, keep close to the carriage, don't let the thieves scare the eldest young master!"
He approached the horse, threw a knife at it, and asked again: "Uncle Mo, do you know how to use a knife? Do you want me to teach you a few tricks temporarily?" This kid may be a little nervous. He heard the thieves approaching.
Gao Pragmatic not only showed no fear at the news, but Gao Pragmatic even felt that he was a little eager to try, and there was an unusual excitement all over his body.
Gao Mo stretched out his hand to catch the Yanling knife thrown by Gao Xiaozhuang, and chuckled: "You have only learned swordsmanship for a few days, and you dare to speak so brazenly? You must know that Gao Jing, who taught you the swordsmanship, can't even take twenty moves under my hands."
