Chapter 320: An Unexpected Captive
The captive who was dragged to the corner wanted to struggle, but it was difficult for him to move even a single movement under the iron-like hands of these guards. His throat was strangled, his mouth was blocked, and his face was flushed. The captives were not tall, and their bodies were not particularly strong. In the hands of these burly men, it was like a chicken in the hands of an eagle. Apart from panting, they were basically unable to do other movements.
As dawn gradually dawned in the sky, Ding Wei walked up to the prisoner, raised his chin, and a guard grabbed the prisoner's hair and pulled it upwards, fully showing the prisoner's face in front of Ding Wei. Seeing the guy who fell into his hands, Ding Wei couldn't help being startled. This guy is about fifty years old, with a thin face and a gray goatee. He looks familiar, and he should have seen it somewhere.
"Who are you, what's your name, and where did you come from?" Lowering his voice, Ding Wei asked like a cannonball.
The prisoner stared at Ding Wei with wide eyes, and yelled in his mouth, Ding Wei just saved the mouth of the guy opposite, but there was still a veil stuffed in it, and when he stretched out his hand to pull it out, the prisoner opened it immediately With a big mouth, coughing and rinsing, he said intermittently: "We have met before, I am not a bad person."
"We seem to have met somewhere?" Ding Wei nodded, "What's your name, where have we met?"
The captive's face was red again, he hesitated for a while, seeing that Ding Wei's expression was obviously impatient, and then he said coyly: "Brother, do you still remember Luliang Mountain? It was carried down the mountain."
Ding Wei opened his mouth wide in surprise, stared at him for a long while, and then grabbed the image of this person from his mind, "Are you with that Jiang? Your name is Jiang...Jiang... .”
"My name is Jiang Jiaquan. I used to be the counselor of Jiang Xinliang, the eldest son of Yuyang County. But now I am no longer there. I left Yuyang." Unexpectedly, this guy in front of him still remembered himself, and Jiang Jiaquan was overjoyed.
Before the words fell, Ding Wei's eyes widened with anger, and he took a step forward. With a horizontal elbow, Jiang Jiaquan was firmly pressed against the wall behind him, and with a flip of his wrist, the gleaming sharp knife was pressed against the opponent's chest, "I failed to plot against my general in Luliang Mountain, but he rushed to Fufeng. Are you trying to assassinate me this time?"
Through his clothes, Jiang Jiaquan could also feel the chill from the sharp blade piercing his skin. Looking at Ding Wei's murderous look, he smiled wryly, "Brother, look at me. Is it possible to be an assassin?"
Looking at the opponent's thin figure and feeling the flaccid and weak muscles of the opponent, Ding Wei let out a sigh of relief. This is just an old guy with no strength to restrain a chicken. Let alone assassinate him, give him a knife, He may not be able to hack people to death.
"What are you trying to do by sneaking into our support? Be honest. Don't play tricks, or I can guarantee you a terrible death,
This is not Yuyang County, but our Fufeng. "Ding Wei took a step back and put away the dagger.
"I'm here to join General Gao." Jiang Jiaquan's words were startling, and Ding Wei was taken aback when he said these words.
"Go to my general?" Ding Wei said loudly, "You are so bold, you are not afraid that we will kill you, don't forget. You plotted against us in Luliang Mountain."
"Is General Gao such a small-hearted person?" Jiang Jiaquan raised his head, "At that time, we were our own masters. I was Jiang Xinliang's counselor for Mr. Jiang, so naturally I would do my best for him. Now I have left Jiang Shi. Without them, there is nothing to do. If General Gao remembers the old hatred and really kills me, I can only treat myself as blind, and I have nothing to say when I die."
Ding Wei giggled, "A guy like you who has no strength to restrain a chicken wants to follow my general? Why does the general want you? Is he raising you for nothing? Who is not a hero under the general's command? ?”
Jiang Jiaquan sneered, "What do you know? If General Gao just wants to stay in this small and narrow place to be the emperor of the country, you are enough, but if you want to do something big, what great things can you do with just a group of warriors? Do you understand that in the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away?"
Ding Wei sneered, "I don't understand these things, but I do know that if you strike down with a knife, you, a strategist, will have to see the King of Hades."
Looking at Ding Wei's fierce face, Jiang Jiaquan couldn't help but turn pale, "Shuzi is not enough to plan, you take me to see General Gao."
"My general doesn't have time to see you, old fellow!" Ding Wei spat, "Drag him back and hand him over to Director Cao. Let's see what the hell this guy is up to? I still don't believe that he entered the Military Justice Department. Is it still so hard!"
Two guards dragged Jiang Jiaquan and were about to leave when one of the guards suddenly whispered: "Commander, the general has come out, should we go out?"
Ding Wei shook his head, "No need!" Leaning against the corner of the wall, he looked at Gao Yuan who was covered in dust, but walked out of the yard with a smile on his face. After the gate closed, Gao Yuan hummed an unknown tune with his hands behind his back, and walked out of the door steps.
The guards all turned their eyes to Gao Yuan, but ignored Jiang Jiaquan in his hand. Although he was firmly pressed against the wall at this time, his mouth could move freely. Looking at Gao Yuan not far away, Jiang Jiaquan He knew that if he couldn't walk in front of Gao Yuan and fell into the hands of this group of rough men, he was afraid that he would die for no apparent reason. The director Cao he was talking about was not a good person at first sight.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Jiaquan opened his mouth wide, "General Gao!" He roared loudly.
Hearing Jiang Jiaquan's cry, Ding Wei let out a yelp, turned his head abruptly, and glared at the two guards guarding Jiang Jiaquan, who were also frantically covering the mouths of the prisoners in their hands.
Gao Yuan's footsteps stopped abruptly, and he turned around slowly, looking at the hiding place where Ding Wei and the others were hiding, Ding Wei came out with a smile, bowed and saluted: "General!"
"How long has it been since you've been here?" Gao Yuan looked at Ding Wei with a half-smile.
Ding Wei chuckled, "We came when the general came last night, but we didn't dare to disturb the general."
"Well, you're sensible!" Gao Yuan smiled. Last night, he really didn't want anyone to disturb him.
"Who was calling just now?"
Ding Wei looked back at the corner, and Jiang Jiaquan, who was held down, was twisting around like a snake, his eyes were full of desire, he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he ran to Gao Yuan and said, "General, let's catch him." There is a spy, an old acquaintance, the old man Jiang Jiaquan who was caught by us on Luliang Mountain and carried down like a wild boar!"
"Jiang Jiaquan?" Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and the image of the old man flashed in his mind, "Why did he come to our Fufeng, is it unlikely that this person will be a spy?"
Holding the robe that has changed color, and the gray will rustle down after taking a step, Gao Yuan walked towards the corner.
"Come here!" Ding Wei hurriedly waved his hands and shouted.
Several guards twisted Jiang Jiaquan and came out from the corner.
"General Gao, General Gao!" Seeing Gao Yuan, Jiang Jiaquan shouted.
Seeing the thin and weak old man being crushed like a shrimp, but still trying to look up at himself with his head up, Gao Yuan couldn't help being happy, and waved his hands and said: "Let go, let go, this is a scholar who has read a lot of poetry and books. I'm sorry for your waiting skills."
The guards let go of Jiang Jiaquan, but put their hands on the handle of the knife. From this distance, if Jiang Jiaquan made a slight movement, they would be sure to kill him with one blow.
"Mr. Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you. Why did you come to my poor place?" Gao Yuan smiled, but his mind was spinning rapidly, wondering whether this matter had something to do with Jiang.
Jiang Jiaquan rubbed his wrist, there were several purple marks that had been strangled by those rude guys, and the slightest touch was painful.
"I came very early." Jiang Jiaquan's answer was beyond everyone's expectations. "When the general captured the whole city, I bid farewell to Mr. Jiang and came all the way to Fufeng."
Gao Yuan rolled his eyes, looked at Jiang Jiaquan, and said with a smile: "I wondered how that boy Jiang Xinliang came so fast? It turns out that Mr. Jiang is responsible for this!"
Jiang Jiaquan sighed: "Master Jiang is actually not stupid, but he lacks some ingenuity. Before leaving, I just reminded him."
"This reminder from Mr. Gao Yuan saved Gao Yuan's life!" Gao Yuan cupped his hands with a smile: "Gao Yuan thank you here."
Jiang Jiaquan shook his head, "Don't dare to covet the merits of heaven. If Mr. Jiang doesn't go, Tan Feng will arrive. In short, although General Gao is shocked, he is not in danger."
"Then why did Mr. Jiang come to Fufeng?"
"Because I did not succeed in plotting against General Gao, and I turned around and helped Jiang Dagongzi ruin Jiang County Sheriff's good deeds. If I still don't leave, Jiang County Sheriff will take care of me? At first I came to Fufeng just to see what kind of place it is. After raising a talent like a general, after I arrived in Fufeng, I heard the people in Fufeng praise the general, and then went to Juliguan specially, and went to the camp of Niulanshan with the caravan. I don't want to leave." Jiang Jiaquan said with a smile.
Gao Yuan smiled and said nothing.
"But not long after that, I heard the news of the fire in Jicheng and the assassination of the general. General Xindao must be dead. As expected, he was jealous of the talents. Dispirited, he packed his bags and left Fufeng, but he hadn't arrived yet. In Liaoxi City, I heard that the general had miraculously returned to Fufeng, and immediately ran back. General Gao, I’m here to join you.”
"Go to me?" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, you have left the Jiang Junshou and other places. My small place, where is it worthy of your attention?"
"A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good minister chooses a master to serve." Jiang Jiaquan shook his head and said: "Where I am in the Jiang family, I just make a living, that's what they do, but they come to Fufeng to vote for the general, but they want to assist the general Do a career. Although the general's territory is small, it is like a dragon trapped in the shallows and a bird trapped in a narrow house. Once this shackle is released, it will surely soar into the sky."
