Chapter 159 Gentlemen and Ghosts (Tenth and Monthly Pass)
The potter's words made Bai Rao and Sui Gu very embarrassed.
The fact that the Black Mountain Army was uneducated was peeled away bloody by the pottery merchants, leaving no trace behind.
Bai Rao had a sullen face, looking very suffocated.
Sui Gu, on the other hand, coughed in embarrassment and walked out of the tent to avoid the limelight on the excuse of peeing.
Before the meal even started, I was already nagging to death...
It was so dull inside that Sui Gu felt really ashamed and didn't want to stay there any longer.
It is really difficult to get along with a young master from a famous family.
Sui Gu cursed in a low voice and relieved himself when he saw a Montenegrin soldier running over from his own camp and reported to Sui Gu: "Commander Sui, our spy just caught a passing scholar on the official road.
, he seems to have lost his way and mistakenly entered the path where our garrison is located."
Sui Gu looked at the Black Mountain soldier with dissatisfaction, and said angrily: "It's just a lost scholar, why do you need to ask me specifically? Just chop it into pieces!"
The Black Mountain sergeant said in a low voice: "The scholar claimed to be a distinguished person, and said that if he killed him at will, his family would spend all their money to avenge him... A villain, a villain would not dare to make the decision without authorization.
"
Sui Gu pulled up his pants, rubbed his nose, and said, "Take me to see him!"
…
…
Guo Jia felt that during this period of time, he was really unlucky!
First, he came all the way from Yingchuan to Jizhou alone, thinking that he would be able to meet the ideal Ming Lord in his heart. However, he did not expect that Yuan Shao still failed to break the rule of appointing poor families among the gentry, and appointed him to someone who could not use his talents.
position.
Although this position is not low, overall it does not meet Guo Jia's assessment of his talents.
In troubled times, how can you teach a genius to someone who is not a fisherman?
With a slightly vicissitudes of heart, Guo Jia left Yecheng.
The world is so vast, where will the famous master who meets the standard of his own expectations be?
Perhaps such a person does not exist at all.
With this thought in mind, Guo Jia embarked on the journey back to Yingchuan alone, frustrated.
There were not many people who took the money, but after all, Guo Jia still had some character and was unwilling to be favored by his fellow villagers Guo Tu and Xin Ping.
We don’t have much money, but if we save money, we should be able to insist on returning to our old house in Yangdi, Yingchuan.
Guo Jia had this idea.
But after all calculations, even if he took the efficiency of the use of travel expenses into account, Guo Jia still failed to calculate that he would actually encounter the bandits from Montenegro on the eve of crossing the river...
Could it be that this is life?
Seeing the cold-gleaming swords in the hands of the Black Mountain bandits blocking the road and their ferocious faces, Guo Jia's heart almost jumped into his throat.
No! No! No!
Guo has not yet left his name in the annals of history, and Guo’s talents have not yet been revealed in this dim world... How could he be murdered in the countryside by an unknown rat like this?
Absolutely not!
With this last thought of survival, Guo Jia mustered up his last courage and shouted loudly at the thieves.
"I am the daughter of a famous family. If you dare to harm each other, my family will spend a lot of money to avenge you!"
After shouting this sentence, Guo Jia completely collapsed. This was his last hope for survival... There is no reason to argue with these thieves. If this trick doesn't work, then there may be nothing left to do.
God still favored him. After all, those thieves didn't have much courage. After hearing this, they all hesitated.
Guo Jia was temporarily trapped in place, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes at the thieves who blocked the road.
The bandits may not have thought of anything and were just curiously guarding this so-called "famous family", but Guo Jia's mind was already racing rapidly.
How can we get out of this predicament? What should we do next!
It was at this time that Sui Gu, supported by a group of bandits, rode up to Guo Jia.
Looking up and down at this fair-faced, thin, somewhat handsome young man, Sui Gu couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Who is the daughter of a famous family who is so shabbily dressed? And the skinny horse next to him is so low-profile... It doesn't look like a famous family when you look at it horizontally or vertically?
Is this kid so big? Is he just pretending to be casual?
Sui Gu had a murmur in his heart, and rode up to Guo Jia. He looked at him carefully up and down, left and right, and asked: "Is that you? You broke into the road where our Black Mountain Army rested their horses, and you dared to make such nonsense and call yourself what?"
Queen of a famous family? Who are you?"
Guo Jia looked at the powerful leader of the Montenegrin Army, and his brain was running rapidly, thinking of ways to escape.
A genius is a genius after all. In an instant, he came up with a plan to escape from the situation by pretending to be powerful.
Guo Jia straightened up and looked up at Sui Gu's rather ferocious appearance. A mocking smile appeared on his thin and slightly sickly face.
"General, do you know who I am?"
Sui Gu's face instantly stiffened.
What is going on today? Why is everyone asking me who I am?
Who are you? You don’t even know it yourself, why the hell am I remembering it for you one by one!?
Sui Gu's eyes widened and he roared fiercely: "Who do you love? I'll give you two whips first!"
After saying that, he raised the horse whip in his hand and made a gesture to whip it off.
But Guo Jia raised his hand and shouted righteously: "You dare! Hit me? Try it! I'm not afraid to tell you that I am the godson of Yuan Shao, the governor of Bohai and the shepherd of Jizhou."
!”
Sui Gu's eyes suddenly widened, and the riding whip in his hand stopped in mid-air.
Looking at the young young man in front of him who claimed to be Yuan Shaoqian's son, Sui Gu couldn't help but feel confused.
"You said... who are you?"
Guo Jia saw Sui Gu's horrified expression and thought that this bluffing trick was still very useful!
"Yuan Shao's godson!"
Sui Gu slowly put down the riding whip in his hand, his face as dark as water, and he stared at Guo Jia thoughtfully.
Yuan Shao's godson has a pretty big team...
"Your... surname is Yuan or Tao?"
Now Guo Jia was a little confused.
The Montenegrin Army's thoughts are so erratic that they even go beyond the imagination of a genius... Ask me what my last name is? If you ask my last name, Yuan Qie, you can still understand it, but what the hell does the last name Tao mean?
"My surname is Guo."
Sui Gu's eyes suddenly widened, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "That's unreasonable! Why is Yuan Shao's godson named Guo again?"
Guo Jia looked at Sui Gu who was behaving strangely in surprise... This man was so crazy. Either he was sick or there was something fishy going on.
"Yuan Shao's godson's surname is Guo...Isn't this allowed?" Guo Jia tentatively asked.
Sui Gu shook his head, too lazy to think too much, then waved to Guo Jia and said: "Since you claim to be the adopted son of Mr. Yuan, then come with me. My handsome Bai is hosting a banquet for your brother, and you two just happen to be together.
"
"What?"
Guo Jia's crotch suddenly felt cool and wet.
"I, I...my brother?"
"Yes!" Sui Gu looked at Guo Jia slightly suspiciously and said, "Yuan Gong's other godson is named Tao. Don't tell me that you don't even know your godbrother."
The wild smile that usually hangs on Guo Jia's face seems a little stiff at the moment.
"Of course I know you...general, please lead the way!"
Guo Jia took out the wine gourd from behind and took a sip, then suppressed his heart, which was pounding like a deer, and forced himself to calm down.
Only then did he realize that the underwear he was wearing had been completely soaked in cold sweat...
Yuan Shao’s godson’s surname is Tao? It shouldn’t be, I’ve never heard of it before? When did he receive it?
I thought it would be a clever trick to pretend to be a member of the Yuan clan and use the name of the Yuan clan to fool him!
Never would I have thought that God would be so blind... By chance, I actually met Yuan Shao's godson.
The truth will be exposed later. If Yuan Shao's real godson is evil-minded and doesn't help him, what kind of methods will these Black Mountain Army use on him... Guo Jia can't even think about it.
I falsely claim that I have a perfect plan, but my boat is about to capsize in a small river today!
He was beating a drum in his heart, but Guo Jia still pretended to be very calm on the surface and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that my...my brother with a different surname is actually here. It's really unpredictable in the world, hahaha,
Good luck! General, please lead the way and take Guo to see him, so that my brother can rekindle his old friendship."
Seeing that Guo Jia was acting so calmly, Sui Gu lost some of his suspicion. He then waved his hand and said to Guo Jia: "Then you come with me."
After saying that, he sent his subordinate Montenegrin Army soldiers to take Guo Jia's horse and watch Guo Jia go towards the tent where the pottery merchant and others were having a banquet.
The banquet tent was in the middle of the two armies. It was agreed that both sides would only bring thirty people. Han Hao was left behind and led the Taishan soldiers to stay where they were, always observing the movements of the Montenegrin army.
At this moment, he suddenly saw several people from the opposing camp rushing towards the drinking and feasting camp. Although there were only a few people who would not be in trouble, for the sake of caution, Han Hao still did not dare to neglect and hurriedly sent a cavalry to stop Sui Gu and others.
Ask why.
When the inquiring soldier came back with the news: telling Han Hao that Sui Gu had brought Yuan Shao's other godson...that is, the potter's godbrother to visit the drinking and banquet tent, Han Hao was stunned.
This meal is... amazing!
There are only two godsons from the Yuan family!
What is all this fuss about? Young master, over there, can he hold on?
Han Hao's heart was about to rush to his throat at this moment... He quietly winked at a close aide behind him.
The confidant understood this, and then quietly prepared his troops and horses in preparation for war, so that he could rush to the field at any time!
Han Hao wiped the sweat from his head and looked up at the banquet tent erected in the center of the two armies.
Han Hao had a hunch that if he didn't do something right later, the place would probably become a place of bloodshed!
…
…
Compared to Han Hao, Guo Jia was even more nervous.
The drinking tent was already close at hand. In the eyes of the prodigal, it was no different from the execution ground at this moment!
It is impossible to say that you are not afraid. Except for people with mental problems, who in this world is not afraid of death? Guo Jia is a prodigal, but he is not a madman.
Guo Jia thought about it all the way, but did not think of any good way to solve this matter. All he can do now is to take one step at a time.
Let’s fish in troubled waters by adapting to circumstances.
Sui Gu took the lead and arrived at the entrance of the drinking tent.
Inside the tent, the initial awkwardness of the banquet had been eliminated. Bai Rao, Tao Shang and others were drinking and talking and laughing with each other, and the relationship was obviously relaxing and improving.
Sui Gu turned over and dismounted and loudly reported inside: "Shuai Bai, the subordinates of the last general, on the path behind the army, stopped a scholar who accidentally broke into this place. The man claimed to be the godson of Mr. Yuan.
He said he was here to catch up with Mr. Tao and reminisce about old times."
The pottery merchant just picked up the wine cup and took a sip of wine. Before he could swallow it, he spit it out with a "poof".
Damn it!
Sui Gu, are you deliberately conditioning me?
Not only the potter, but Sui Gu's shout was like a bomb, completely blasting away all the laughter and laughter in the tent just now.
Xu Huang's eyes widened and he turned to look at the pottery merchant. His face was as dark as water. He unknowingly touched the handle of the mountain-breaking ax with his left hand.
This is the rhythm of exposure. It looks like this pleasant drinking and banquet will soon turn into a battlefield purgatory!
Xu Huang's actions did not escape the potter's eyes, but the potter did not stop him.
It happened so suddenly that the potter couldn't think of a way to deal with it.
Bai Rao was a little confused after drinking. Hearing Sui Gu's shouts, he seemed unable to react for a while. It took him a long while to understand.
With his tongue hanging out, he pointed at Tao Shang in surprise and asked, "What...another son?"
The potter's face turned a little dark.
Damn it, look at how much alcohol has made him nagging.
"He is another godson of Mr. Yuan." Tao Shang corrected Bai Rao's speech.
