At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 98

Gao Bufan didn't know whether Luo Yi, the governor of Liucheng, was really as hot-tempered as Cui Hu said, but he was definitely domineering, because he immediately ordered the surrounding hillside and ordered everyone on the hillside not to move rashly. Otherwise, he would be shot and killed, and his soldiers were so overjoyed when they saw dozens of Khitan corpses shot dead, they cut off their heads without any explanation, presumably to take the credit for themselves.

"Bah, these guys are really shameless!" Gao Shixiong pouted a little bit dumbfounded, and the others were also somewhat dissatisfied. After all, these Khitan cavalry were killed by everyone's bloody battles, but now they are brazenly regarded as them by these Sui soldiers. credit.

Fortunately, the people present were all civilians, and there was no such thing as military merit, otherwise they would definitely not sit back and watch their merits be seized.

Gao Bufan frowned, thinking to himself, since the soldiers are like this, then this Luo Yi must not be a good person.

At this time, half of the Sui soldiers at the foot of the hill were chasing after the escaped Khitan cavalry, while the other half stayed at the foot of the hill, and no one came forward to negotiate. In Xichui, it will be dark in about an hour at most.

"Don't you need to bandage Mr. Gao's wound?" Gongsun Yingxiu came over at some point, and asked softly with a concerned expression, her beautiful eyes were fixed on the wound on Gao Bufan's left arm.

When Gao Bufan rushed down the hillside to take the bow just now, his left arm was scratched by a sharp arrow, but the bleeding had already stopped by itself, and he smiled nonchalantly: "It's just a skin trauma, no need, thank you, Gongsun, for your concern." , By the way, return this three-stone bow to its original owner." After speaking, he handed over the iron tire bow.

Gongsun Yingxiu shook his head and said: "This iron bow was originally a gift from an old friend. I usually only use it as a decoration. It is really a waste of money. Why don't you give it to Mr. Gao, it can be regarded as making the best use of it."

Gao Bufan immediately declined and said: "Since it is a gift from an old friend, how dare I plunder the beauty of others, everyone's kindness, I accept it with all my heart, please take it back!"

"Gao Gongzi is indeed a modest gentleman, and the servants are not too reluctant, put away your sword and put away your bow!" Gongsun Yingxiu ordered lightly.

The well-dressed maid next to him gave Gao Bufan a gouged look, and reached out to take back the three-stone bow, seeming a little dissatisfied.Gao Bufan casually reminded: "Didn't the old man who gave the bow remind everyone, Gongsun, that if the iron-bodied bow is not used for a long time, it is best to loosen the string, otherwise it will damage the strength of the bow."

Gongsun Yingxiu smiled naturally: "The man has reminded the slave family, but even if the slave family has the heart, it doesn't have the strength. As the saying goes, don't offend two masters. Why don't you ask Mr. Gao for help."

"It's nothing more than a little effort!" Gao Bufan took the iron bow from the saber hand again, and easily unloaded the bowstring.

Gongsun Ying's sleeves were brilliant and said: "Young Master Gao's arm strength is amazing, I admire it!"

Gao Bufan smiled calmly, changed the subject and said, "These Sui soldiers are here to pick up Gongsun and everyone, right?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present was stunned, and Gongsun Yingxiu said in surprise: "How did Mr. Gao see it?"

Gao Bufan shrugged his shoulders and said: "I'm guessing wildly, Liucheng is not far from here, but it's not too close, and it's only half a stick of incense time from when we lighted the fireworks to when the Sui soldiers arrived, it's too fast A little bit, so this Sui army should be nearby."

Saber pursed his lips and said, "This doesn't mean that Sui soldiers are here to pick us up?"

Gao Bufan nodded and said: "This really doesn't explain it. I don't know why the Khitans are chasing and killing you, but there must be a reason for it, and the Sui soldiers below the hillside seem to have surrounded us, but if you look carefully, it's even more obvious. It's like protecting us."

Hearing this, Cui Hu looked down the hillside and saw some clues, he couldn't help but feel moved, the Sui soldiers down the hillside indeed seemed to surround the hillside, but the direction of defense was the periphery, he couldn't help but blurted out: "What Changqing said Extremely, everyone, Gongsun, is Luo Yi, the governor of Liucheng, really here to welcome you?"

Xu Song and Saber looked at each other, and there was obviously a little more fear in Gao Bufan's eyes. This kid's force and courage were already astonishing, but he didn't expect him to be so delicate.

Gongsun Yingxiu's beautiful eyes were shining brightly, and she sighed: "Young Master Gao really has insight into the details, yes, this Sui army is indeed here to pick up the slave family, but it is for the sake of others."

Gao Bufan couldn't help being stunned, this makes sense, because although Luo Yi, the governor of Liucheng, led his troops here, he didn't seem to take Gongsun Yingxiu too seriously, leaving everyone on the hillside, while he himself Take people to chase the Khitan cavalry.

"Why did those Khitan cavalry pursue Gongsun?" Cui Hu asked in a deep voice, Cui's children paid the price of three deaths and seven deaths, as a steward, he has the responsibility to ask clearly.

Gongsun Yingxiu said apologetically: "I really don't know why these Khitans wanted to hunt us down. Maybe it was just a coincidence, or maybe it was because of Ke Dun!"

"Ke Dun!" Cui Hu's complexion turned solemn in vain, this matter is actually related to Princess Yicheng, I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter.

Gao Bufan frowned and said, "What does the Khitan people have to do with Ke Dunneng in chasing and killing Master Gongsun? I'm just curious. If it's inconvenient for Master Gongsun to tell you, then I don't want to ask!"

Pei Jian snorted coldly and said, "Gao Changqing, what do you mean? Don't you think my girl is deliberately recruiting Khitan people to hurt you?"

"I don't mean it like that!" Gao Bufan sweated secretly. He really didn't mean it, but in his opinion, the behavior of this Gongsun Yingxiu was too abnormal. He was clearly a prostitute, but he ran to this chaotic place. You said that these three stone bows are ornaments given by others, so they should be placed at home, but you still carry them with you, and they are the kind that do not loosen the strings.

All kinds of signs have to make people suspicious!
"Saber, don't be rude!" Gongsun Yingxiu reprimanded softly, and the latter said aggrievedly: "Girl, people suspect us, why don't you just say it straight, so as not to make people suspicious!"

Gongsun Yingxiu sighed and said: "Well, in fact, the Nu family was invited by Ke Dun to go to the Khitan Alliance tent to perform, and Luo Yi, the governor of Liucheng, also came to welcome the Nu family under the order of Ke Dun. Before arriving at Liucheng, I ran into that Khitan cavalry just now, my family still doesn’t know what happened, maybe you can ask Governor Luo.”

Gao Bufan and Cui Hu looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts, since Gongsun Yingxiu was invited by Ke Dun, and Ke Dun is currently on the territory of the Khitans, but the Khitans attacked Gongsun Yingxiu halfway, could it be that The Khitan people have taken refuge in Goguryeo?

If that's the case, we'll be in big trouble!
