"Quick! Protect me quickly! You...don't come over!"
Gao Ding was so frightened that he was speechless. Just imagine, if dozens or hundreds of shirtless men suddenly surrounded you, no matter what your identity was, you would all be afraid, right?
He quickly called on his subordinates to protect him, but weren't the subordinates also unable to protect themselves?
"It turns out there are four people! No one can let go! Surround them!"
The result was good, Gao Ding's shouting and greeting trapped several of his subordinates who were outside the encirclement just now.
They originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but when they came to their senses, they were already covered in big men——
Seeing that the situation is about to develop in a one-sided direction, it is very likely to turn into a bloody beating incident...
When Gao Ding was almost desperate, suddenly...he felt an irresistible pulling sensation on his arm.
I just heard a shocking voice in my ears:
"If you want to survive, don't resist-"
Of course... Gao Ding had no time to resist, and was dragged away by a huge force in the next second.
He felt that he was suddenly in the midst of lightning, the scene in front of him was changing rapidly, and behind him came the angry shouts and curses of the group of barbarians:
"Chase! Chase me quickly! You can't let them go!"
He thought to himself that when he called the army, he would definitely seek revenge on these people - if he still had this life.
——
In fact, he did save his life.
As the sun set, in an inconspicuous alley, in a tavern without even a signboard... Gao Ding sat on the bench in shock, looking at the unfamiliar man in front of him, in trance.
I don't know how much time passed, but there were people outside the tavern. Someone knocked on the door, and the taciturn shopkeeper went to open the door.
As soon as he opened the door, Gao Ding heard a familiar voice:
"Sir...Sir! You're okay! It's great that you're okay!"
"Sir, can you make it easier for us to find..."
"Woooooo, we thought we were going to reveal where we were, and we finally came back with our lives saved..."
It was his three subordinates. Of course, these three people did not find this tavern by themselves. It was a tall woman who brought them here.
Gao looked closely and found that the woman had a beautiful face and was dressed like a barbarian... He subconsciously thought that the woman was a colleague of the rebels just now, so he tried to hide behind the table.
However, the man in front of him smiled and greeted over there:
"Have everyone left?"
"Don't worry, they won't be able to find it here. Besides, this is where only a small number of Han people live in the city. Without Meng Huo's permission, even they wouldn't dare to set foot here easily."
"That's good."
"...you...who are you?"
Seeing the two people's accustomed exchanges, Gao Ding finally couldn't hold it in any longer and quickly asked them about their identities.
The man in front of him turned his head and said apologetically:
"Ah, I forgot to introduce you. My surname is Yi... and my name is Zhongtian. If Mr. Gao doesn't mind calling me brother, it would be Zhongtian's honor."
He did not forget to introduce the woman next to him, but while introducing him, Gaoding noticed that the man's face was a little embarrassed:
"This person next to me is my wife...Shuang'er - Shuang'er, come and say hello to Master Gao."
"Blessings?
Oh oh...is that so?"
Gao Ding looked at the behavior of this man and woman with confusion... Judging from the appearance of these two people, the man could not imagine that they were actually husband and wife.
And their behavior also seems a bit weird. The men are well-educated and look like very traditional Han people. The women... although they have the face of a Han woman, their behavior is a bit casual, not like that of the Central Plains women.
A gentle and elegant feeling.
But one thing cannot be denied, this is the reason why Couture does not easily regard the other party as an enemy.
"Folk girl Shuang'er has met Mr. Gao."
"Ah... come on... hurry up and forgive me. It's time like this. Why don't you act like a grown-up?"
"You two really saved our lives. For this reason alone, I have no reason to pretend in front of you."
Gao Ding also knew that the two people in front of him had saved their lives, so he quickly put down his airs and showed a very close attitude.
From the eyes of the other two, Gao Ding could see their joy, and also confirmed that they probably didn't have too much money.
"So... can you two explain to me... what is going on today?
Is this Meng Huo trying to break up with Lord Yong Kaiyong?"
"It's a long story, but don't worry, our husband and I are here today just to explain this matter to you, Your Excellency."
"The riot just now has become a common occurrence in Gufu City these days - on the contrary, it is precisely because of Lord Meng Huo's continuous suppression that this trend did not spread throughout the city."
"ah?
Is there such a thing?
What on earth is this…”
"Master Gao! What Mr. Yi said is true! You were brought here early by Mr. Yi. We just followed this girl Shuang'er through a long detour before we got away from those lunatics!"
"If Meng Huo's guards hadn't come to suppress him, we might have revealed where they were today!"
Gao Ding's subordinates spoke without tears, which shocked Gao Ding even more:
"How could this happen...Am I wrong to blame Meng Huo?"
He thought to himself, but all this was seen by the man in front of him named Yi Zhongtian.
"Store! Serve wine...want good wine!"
——
It is really much easier to talk at the wine table.
After three cups and two cups, I no longer feel so nervous about haute couture.
Taking advantage of the drunkenness, his relationship with the man named Yi Zhongtian in front of him developed rapidly. He called Yi "Brother" every time, and they were really close.
"It turns out that I really wrongly blamed Patriarch Meng - I asked him why he was so anxious to get that batch of equipment from us some time ago. He actually wanted to suppress the rebellion in the tribe on his own."
"Well, in order not to worry us, he didn't tell us about it at all. Instead, he made Master Yong very nervous."
"That is to say, Patriarch Meng has always been a person who doesn't like to cause trouble with others. This kind of thing is a family scandal for him, so naturally he doesn't want you to know about it."
"But this is a disaster for those of us who stay in Gufucheng. If we don't want to join in with those thugs, we can only stay indoors and be bored. We can't get out of the city. We have to worry about being attacked by these people when we go out to buy groceries.
Containment.”
"This is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened today. We heard earlier that Mr. Gao was coming. We couldn't believe it. We went to the tavern with the idea of trying our luck. We never thought that this group of thugs would really
You are so bold that you dare to besiege Mr. Gao...it is really lawless!"
Speaking of getting up, Yi Zhongtian banged the table and started yelling angrily.
Gao Ding smiled and comforted his new brother:
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter... Now that everything is out of the way, it will be easy to handle——"
"Brother Yi, I don't know if you can send me to Chief Meng's house. I will have a good chat with Chief Meng about this matter and clear up the misunderstanding first... Master Yong will also do his best to suppress the riot later.
"
Gao Ding said calmly, looking confident.
But he didn't know that he had actually stepped into the trap with both feet.
