There was chaos in Liuzhou's capital city. Although the so-called remnants of Bazhai and Cen Huang's two rebel gangs turned out to be very small in number, only more than 300 people together, the chaos caused by these 300 people was huge.
, not only smashed the county government office in Maping County and looted the county government treasury, but also broke the government prison and released many prisoners.
Although other more important yamen, such as the Procuratorate and Procuratorate, and the provincial yamen were not affected, it still caused a shock in the whole city, causing many gangsters to take advantage of the troubled waters, and the security of the city collapsed.
But this is a trivial matter compared to the other thing. What really made the sub-defense deputy envoy Jiang Xin, the sub-defense counselor Ni Zhonghua and others anxious like ants on a hot pot was the disappearance of Gao pragmatism.
The dignified patrol officer in Guangxi actually disappeared because of this incident!
When Jiang Xin, the deputy commander of the branch guard, heard the news, he felt that his eyes were darkened, and his legs were weak and he was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, Ni Zhonghua next to him saw the opportunity quickly and quickly supported him. Unexpectedly, Ni Zhonghua held him back.
After Jiang Xin, he also felt that his legs were weak and his feet were weak. The two officials collapsed on the ground together, their eyes were dull, their faces were pale, and they were sweating profusely, as if they had an emergency.
Ji Yuchun, the prefect of Liuzhou, and Rao Yanghao, the magistrate of Maping County, both stayed in their own offices because the prefecture and county offices were attacked. Jiang Xin and Ni Zhonghua didn't even have anyone they could discuss with, so they had to discuss how to recover.
situation.
Their hearts went cold. The one who was missing was not just an ordinary press official! He was a highly pragmatic and dignified Sixth Prince Scholar, a classmate of the emperor for ten years, a direct disciple of the first assistant, Mr. Guo Ge, and a direct relative of the second assistant, Mr. Zhang Ge.
nephew!
The two of them actually lost such an old man. This is not a question of whether the black gauze hat can be saved. This is a question of whether the head on the neck can be saved!
Both of them had military power, and at this time they didn't have much to worry about. The two of them, with four eyes as red as rabbits, shouted at their subordinates at the top of their voices, asking them to quickly divide their troops and go out of the city to find someone.
, and sent people to notify the procuratorate's Gao family servants and the Guangxi Guards (this was the old name, now actually called Guilin Zuowei, who nominally protect the Jingjiang Palace, but actually often perform the task of protecting senior officials in Guangxi), saying that they
The object of protection has disappeared. Ask them to search the whole city and scrape the ground three feet to find the high press platform. They want to see the person alive and the body after death!
Of course, if they really saw the corpse, Jiang Xin and Ni Zhonghua knew it well, and it might not be much different from seeing their own corpse...
Fortunately, the servants of the Gao family gave them some comfort, saying that their master was traveling incognito today to patrol the streets. The leader of his own bodyguard, Gao Zhang, also followed him out secretly, and he had just received a message from Gao Zhang in the rush.
, informed them of the master’s whereabouts.
Jiang Xin and Ni Zhonghua were like drowning people grabbing the last straw. They asked Gao Yuntai where he was now. The servants of the Gao family said that the master was taken out by a young master from the Cen family and an eldest lady from the Huang family.
Fucheng, headed south.
Jiang Xin and Ni Zhonghua just breathed a sigh of relief, but now they became nervous again. Although they both felt that the Cen family and Huang family were most likely to be in rebellion, because after all, if these two families really rebelled, they would want to make a sneak attack.
As for Liuzhou City, it is impossible to arrange only 300 people to cause chaos in the city.
There are at least tens of thousands of children in Liuzhou City. With the strength of the two families, it would be simple to send thousands of people to sneak into the city and take action.
However, it cannot be easily concluded that the Cen and Huang families have no other intentions, especially since the relationship between the Cen and Huang families has always been bad. Why did the people from these two families get together today and take Gao Jiantai away?
But let’s not forget that the juniors of these two families are crazy and want to force Gao Yuntai to agree to something, right? Now that Zhang Futai is seriously ill, who knows how long he can survive. If Yuntai can’t perform his duties, then Guangxi will not be able to perform his duties for a while. But no one can make the decision, this is no joke!
However, just when Jiang Xin and Ni Zhonghua adjusted their deployment and concentrated their military forces in the south and west of Liuzhou City to search for Gao Jintai's whereabouts, Gao Jintai was observing the famous Guangxi Chieftain Wolf Soldier with great interest.
Although Master Cen Qi and Huang Zhiting brought not many guards to Liuzhou, only two to three hundred men each, they were all their own trusted soldiers, who became the famous chieftain wolf soldiers in later generations.
The wolf soldiers were originally called the wolf soldiers. Later, probably because of their bravery in battle, they gradually became known as the wolf soldiers with their homophonic pronunciation. "The Records of the Yingzong" records: "The wolf soldiers are brave and feared by thieves." "Chiya" also says: "Wolf soldiers." The soldiers are fierce and fierce, and they are the best in the world.
In fact, when it comes to the term "wolf soldiers", it is not just the soldiers of the chieftains of Guangxi who use this name. The soldiers of the Tujia people in Xiangxi and the soldiers of the chieftains of Guangxi are collectively called wolf soldiers. They are mainly distributed in Guangxi, Pianyuan (western Hunan), and parts of southern Guizhou.
When mentioning the anti-Japanese war, what usually comes to mind is the undefeated famous general Qi Jiguang. In fact, during the Anti-Japanese War, the imperial court not only sent Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang, Liu Xian and other famous generals to lead their troops to conquer, but also recruited a large number of Guangxi and Xiangxi wolf soldiers to participate in the war. The Guangxi wolf soldiers, led by Mrs. Wa Shi, the leader of the Tianzhou branch of the Cen clan at that time, often used small numbers to attack the masses, winning nine out of ten, making the Japanese pirates "tremble with fear upon hearing the Guangxi accent". Once, 20 soldiers in the Songjiang area The wolf soldiers were besieged by 200 Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates were famous for their personal force. This kind of small-scale combat always has advantages. However, the wolf soldiers defeated more with fewer people. They struggled to kill more than 50 enemies and chased them frantically. The pursuit was unrelenting, and after the battle was won, only six wolf soldiers were sacrificed. Although it was a small battle, it shocked Nanjing at the time.
As expected, Mr. Cen Qi and Huang Zhiting had deployed manpower in Liuzhou City and quickly took Gao Pangshi out of Liuzhou City. Originally, they thought they could just go back to the other courtyard near Jinghu Lake in Longtan Town and wait for the city to settle down before returning to the city to explain the situation.
Who knew that not long after, some of his wolf soldiers came flying from the north, saying that more than 3,000 officers and soldiers were heading towards Longtan Town with great momentum. They changed from their usual gentle and gentle style and simply ran all the way, looking very anxious. .
This completely unexpected news seriously affected the judgment of Master Cen Qi and Huang Zhiting. They both believed that the high patrol officer in the city was frightened and went crazy, and ordered Jiang Xin and Ni Zhonghua to send troops to kill them. Arrest and bring them to justice immediately." Perhaps this master who was accustomed to a smooth journey might have given an even crazier order, telling the officers and soldiers to "execute him on the spot" as soon as they caught him.
It was impossible to sacrifice the head honestly. The two of them put it together and decided that the Thirty-Six Strategies were the best. They would first avoid this wave of unreasonable disasters and then wait for the officers and soldiers to wake up before explaining anything.
So regardless of Gao Pragmatic's persuasion, the two of them made up their minds to transfer immediately.
Although the number of wolf soldiers brought by the two of them is small, they are highly disciplined and resolutely obey orders. Moreover, these wolf soldiers are all from the mountains. They grew up in the mountainous environment of Guangxi with complex terrain. They can climb mountains, climb trees, and swim.
Proficient, the most important thing is that the physical strength of these wolf soldiers is significantly higher than that of ordinary troops.
From a highly pragmatic observation, they are not at the same level of physical fitness as those of the guardsmen. In other words, the elite among his own servants have implemented his training ideas and often train long distances, and may be able to compete with them.
But that's only on ordinary terrain. If it were a complex mountainous area like Guangxi, I'm afraid the wolf soldiers would be even better.
At least Gao Pragmatic still understands how powerful the wolf soldiers are. The key is that Mr. Cen Qi and Huang Zhiting can actually walk quickly in the mountains and forests, which shocks Gao Pingshi. Mr. Cen Qi had previously given Gao Pragmatic the impression of being handsome and elegant.
, and Huang Zhiting has been showing off her charm. Who would have thought that as soon as these two people entered the forest, they would seem to be completely transformed, moving around effortlessly.
At this time, he was the only one left in the entire team who was tall... No, he was the only one left in the team. Zhang Zhen, Zhang Fuxu, was a dragster. Sometimes his clothes got caught on thorns, sometimes his boots got caught on thorns, and he even stepped on the moss on the ground.
And I fell down several times.
It's just that Gao Pingshi is a little weird. Huang Zhiting doesn't help him. It's okay. Cen Qi, who invited him out all the way, kept reminding him to pay attention here and there, but he just refused to reach out and give him a hand, which made Gao Pingshi feel suspicious.
, is it possible that there is some taboo here in Guangxi, and you cannot let others help you when going up the mountain?
However, Master Cen finally couldn't bear it anymore and ordered his subordinates to make a temporary stretcher.
These people refused to stop while making stretchers. They took out a hatchet with a barb tip and chopped down a few unknown small trees as thick as a bowl as they walked. At the same time, they took out a few pieces of coarse woven fabric from somewhere.
Come, several people worked together to make a temporary stretcher and put Gao Qingshi on it without even stopping.
The two Cen family wolf soldiers, who were of average height but strong enough, held up the tall "Mr. Zhang" and followed him steadily behind Cen Qi Gongzi without showing any signs of slowness.
After walking like this for two full hours, the sky gradually became dark. Young Master Cen Qi suddenly said to Huang Zhiting: "Miss Huang, it seems that we are going to sleep in the wilderness tonight. If you are afraid..." Having reached such a situation, the words in his words
It's actually a bit of a joke.
Unexpectedly, Huang Zhiting was even more stunning. At this point, she was still extremely charming when she spoke: "The slave family is most afraid of the wilderness. Master Cen Qi, you are the proud son of Guixi, and you must know how to pity people best, right? Otherwise,
How about you help me keep vigil outside my tent tonight?"
Young Master Cen Qi didn't expect that she would say that, so he snorted and stopped paying attention to her, which made Huang Zhiting giggle again, feeling very proud.
Gao pragmatic couldn't help but smile bitterly. These two people really didn't take the officers and soldiers seriously at all. They were still interested in bickering at this time. But having said that, considering the speed of these wolf soldiers traveling in the mountains and forests, Gao pragmatic estimated that the officers
Even if Jun doesn't sleep tonight, I'm afraid he won't be able to make it.
He couldn't help but look at Huang Zhiting again in confusion, and thought to himself: A grown man like me can't get used to walking on this weird mountain road with three highs and two lows. How did a delicate little girl like her do it?
