Chapter 019|Throw Yourself Into the Net

Xiao Mohe did not use Gao Sheng Dao's method at all, and with a broken cry, the feathered arrows stormed like rain. Gu Musheng urgently closed the door. Fortunately, the door was not open wide enough, otherwise even if the Wushan fisherwoman and Li Jing could avoid it, Alone Star and A Yue would have a hard time avoiding it.

Feathered arrows were shot at the door. Even though the door was thick, several feathered arrows penetrated the door, revealing the tips of the arrows.

The Wushan fisherwoman said "back" and picked up the two children and returned to the hall. At this time, Gao Sheng Dao was listening to Xie Kangtu's speech, and was startled by the Wushan Fisherwoman's return. He straightened up and asked, "Why did you go and come back?"

The Wushan Fisherwoman laughed, "Because I want to die together with Mr Gao." Saying this, she went straight forward, only five steps away from Gao Sheng Dao.

Thinking that the Wushan Fisherwoman was going to strike at him, Gao Sheng Dao hurriedly said to an old monk, " Mage Puzhao!"

The Mage Puzhao was the leading monk of the ceremony, with a burnt face, dull eyes, and spots on his apricot-yellow monk's clothes. Li Jing has been studying Buddhism since childhood and is not unfamiliar with Buddhist scriptures.this day to listen to his chanting, extremely pious and rigorous, and there is not the slightest error, he is very admirable. However, Puzhao did not smile and did stern and not given to casual talk or laughter, and even with the monks around him, he did not have any private conversations. Earlier, Li Jing heard Gao Sheng Dao say that these monks had been bribed by him, and the admiration in his heart turned to disgust.

Mage Puzhao, however, did not move a muscle.

At this time, a loud voice came from outside the hall, "Our emperor learnt that the envoys of the Sui State are coming south, and has send General Ben,Xiao Mohe to come and greet them." Along with the voice, Xiao Mohe pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, carried a black cloth bag, and stomped in.

The monks and strong men in the hall, who had previously performed the deed, all turned around in unison and saluted, saying in unison, "See you, Great General!"

"That's all." Xiao Mohe waved his hand and walked straight to the opposite side of Xie Kangtu and Gao Sheng Dao, lifting his iron armour and sitting down with a big horse. Although that short couch was made of nanmu, after he pressed it, there was a grating sound.

Xiao Mohe laughed, ''Mr Xie, you're making this couch too unsturdy. Mr Gao, when you said that there were your men in the temples and the brothel of Da Chen, I didn't believe you earlier. But after checking, I did find out quite a few. Bringing the corpses of these traitors is really troublesome, so this general cut off their ears to make up the number, so please take a look and see if the number is correct or not?" Saying that, he got up, put the bag on the table, opened it, and it was full of bloody ears, about one or two hundred.

A Yue was already scared. At this time, when she saw the human ear, she was so scared that she hid her face and cried.

Xiao Mohe lowered his voice and said, "Little princess, don't be afraid. When these ears are fried in oil and some pepper is added, it will be a delicious dish that little princess has never enjoyed before in the royal residence."

Gao Sheng Dao's face was already pale, and now it was as white as paper. Li Jing's heart is even more desperate - this Gao Sheng Dao after all owes a favour to the Wushan fisherwoman, and is also a subject of the Sui State. However, Xiao Mohe is the enemy general, arson ship caused hundreds of people killed, he did not even blink an eyelid, and this time to mobilise troops to attack the Jiangzhou shipyard, the people in the hall in addition to the Chen State people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape this fate.

However, Gao Sheng Dao is after all the son of the left prime minister of the Sui State, and instantly squeezed out another smile, "So it's Great General Xiao of Great Chen, Gao Sheng Dao salutes the great general." Saying so, he clasped his fists and saluted.

Xiao Mohe waved his hand and said, "Where is there a Great Chen? There is only False Chen. In the eyes of Gao Zhuzuolang, destroying Chen is easier than killing chickens and slaughtering dogs."

Without waiting for Gao Sheng Dao to respond, he turned to Wushan Fisherwoman, "Wushan woman warrior is a person of high standing outside of the world, killing a dozen or so of the False-Sui-official army, and is also considered a friend of the Chen State. Just now, Mr Gao let you go, and now I will let you go as well. However, the little princess must stay." He pointed at Li Jing, "Also, this kid killed my generals, and now he hasn't even found his corpse, evil as hell, he must also stay."

The Wushan Fisherwoman said, "Many thanks for the Great General's grace. You guys fight your fights, I'll watch my fun."

Xiao Mohe laughed loudly, "If these 'ears' were still alive, it might have been a bit more lively. Now that Mr Gao only has a Mr Hua to help him, I'm afraid it won't be lively."

Li Jing until this time to really understand: Xiao Mohe in the boat sank and did not give up tracing, but secretly mobilise people, one to track the whereabouts of the A Yue, the second to monitor the Gao Sheng Dao to the south of the movement, the time to the sudden appearance, in order to try to catch them all! It is ridiculous that I always have a lucky break. In contrast, the reasoning of the military that my uncle taught is far less profound than this lesson.

Gao Sheng Dao knows that these monks and strong men are fake spies, and now he only hopes that Hua Qingfeng can suddenly make a mistake and restrain Xiao Mohe or there may be a ray of hope.

Hua Qingfeng was standing right behind Xiao Mohe.After receiving his master's wink, He quickly extended his monkey-like arm, reaching out to grab Xiao Mohe. Xiao Mohe spoke under his breath, his hand on the hilt of the sword was sent back, and the end of the sheath was pressed against his left chest. Hua Qingfeng "ah" screamed miserably, fell back three steps before standing still, a moment of shame and anger.

Only then did Xiao Mohe turn back to look at him, ''Mr Hua has been injured twice and was defeated at the hands of the Witch Wushan woman warrior, it is not something to be ashamed of. If we are talking about martial arts in the world, even the venerable Zixiao old Taoist may not be able to beat the lady warrior. Zixiao old Taoist is not a bad fighter, but when it comes to fighting alone, he is no match for the lady warrior. If you weren't injured first, you might be able to take a hundred moves from me."

Hua Qingfeng said angrily, "Even if I'm injured, I can still take a hundred moves from you!" Saying that, he raised the black umbrella and stabbed Xiao Mohe's chest. Xiao Mohe did not even avoid, the umbrella head directly hit his chest. With a thud, Xiao Mohe's body swayed slightly, and Hua Qingfeng retreated three steps backward. Suddenly, "bang" sound, flying needles like rain straight over, all hit on the iron armour.

Xiao Mohe brushed the steel needle off the iron armour like patting dust, turned his head to the old monk at his side and said, "Mage Puzhao, Mr. Hua wants to take action, please accompany him for a bit of fun."

Mage Puzhao put up a single palm and did not reply, walking towards Hua Qingfeng. Hua Qingfeng stared at him, not knowing what kind of weapon this old monk was using. He failed one after another, ignoring the pain in his chest, he raised his black umbrella and stabbed forward. Mage Puzhao's wide sleeve moved with him like a sail. The tip of the umbrella stabbed on the sleeve, like hitting the surface of a cowhide drum, not able to advance the slightest bit, on the contrary, there was a huge elasticity attack. Hua Qingfeng retreated a step back, the black umbrella instantly opened, the two strands of strong wind collided, Puzhao monk retreated a step back, Hua Qingfeng retreated two steps back, a mouthful of blood sprayed out of his mouth.

Puzhao folded his hands and chanted "Amitabha Buddha" in a low voice, and retreated to his original position, shutting up and not saying a word.

Xiao Mohe said: "Mr Hua martial arts, originally and the mage is not far from each other, only because of the injury in the first, but also impatient, only lost half style, do not need to worry. In the future, you should cultivate your character and nurture your temperament, know the shame and then advance, so as not to humiliate the master." His words seemed to console the loser, but on closer inspection, it was a condescending comment. Hua Qingfeng's ape eyes wanted to spit fire, but he couldn't have an attack.

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

Gao Sheng Dao sighed, "As the number one general of Chen, General Xiao is out of character to ridicule Gao Shi like this.It is true that I underestimated Chen State and acted rashly, so I will let General Xiao slaughter me once I lose. However, the victory or defeat of a great nation does not depend on one day, one night,one city wall and one moat. The Sui State has millions of soldiers, and they are located in the Central Plains, and with the people's support, it is difficult to compete with them in the Jiangling area. General is Xiao Liang descendant, do not have to sell their lives for the Chen State, leaving a way out is also good."

Xiao Mohe gave a "hmm" sound, flicked his beard and laughed: "What Mr Gao said also sounds reasonable. However, I am short-sighted can't see that far, and only knows that you lose and I win. would you rather be a guest or a prisoner?"

Gao Sheng Dao shook his head and said, "Let's not mention the matter of surrendering to Chen. It's just that Mr Hua Qingfeng is a man of the world and doesn't have an official position, please let him go." Saying this, he raised his hands, signalling that he could be bound.

Xiao Mohe nodded and said, "Lady Wushan, Mr Qingfeng, and this Gu brother are indeed outsiders. We Southerners are generous and make a clear distinction between grudges, so the three of you can leave now."

The Wushan Fisherwoman said, "General Xiao, everything is fine here now, so I will take my leave." Saying so without looking back, she led Gu Musheng out the door and left. Hua Qingfeng wiped the blood from his mouth and without a word, clamped his black umbrella and turned around go.

Xiao Mohe laughed, "Mister Xiao likes smart people. Mr Xie is actually considered a smart person, but you depleted your big boat to circle with me, and in the end, the Jiangzhou boat company was destroyed, isn't it too clever by half?"

Xie Kangtu calmly responded, "Great General Xiao, I am a lowly merchant, but I am entrusted by others to be loyal to them, so will I avoid them because of misfortune? Now that I am crippled, I am at the disposal of Great General."

Xiao Mohe cupped his fists and said: ''Although Mr Xie is a merchant, but words are faithful, along the river have a good reputation, Xiao Mou sincerely admire. However, you intentionally created a diversion and harbored a criminal of significant concern; this is no minor crime. As a commander, I truly cannot neglect public duties for personal reasons. I think you have injuries in the body, walking inconvenience, specially allowed this kid negative you forward." He said, looking at Li Jing: "Kid, where are Princess Liang and Uncle Zhang now?"

Li Jing said, "Mr Zhang aand the princess nearly perished when the large boat caught fire, and they might have already returned to Jiangling by now."

Xiao Mohe nodded and said to Gao Sheng Dao, "Please, Mr Gao." Saying that, he turned and went out the door. Mage Puzhao came over and bound Gao Sheng Dao with a rope. Li Jing picked up Xie Kangtu on his back, led Alone Star and A yue, and followed him out the door.

At this time the day has dusk, the sky drifted a light rain, Li Jing clothes single, can not help but fight a cold war.

Outside the gate, there was a four-wheeled carriage parked in front of the gate, the carriage was tall and the four horses stood there quietly. Two soldiers closed the gate, and one put a seal on the gate, which read, "Sealed by the Great Chen Jiangzhou Governor's Office on the 28th day of the 9th month of the 1st year of the reign of Great Chen Jide".

Xiao Mohe said to Xie Kangtu who was lying on Li Jing's back, "Don't worry,Mr Xie, the boat trip is under the care of the Jiangzhou government office. Chen State welcomes merchants from all directions, and will never close its doors because something happened to the boat company."

Li Jing first carried Xie Kangtu to the car, then carried Alone Star and A Yue into the car, and then entered the carriage, followed by Gao Sheng Dao, who got into the car and sat down. Before Li Jing got into the car, he saw that in the light rain, the Chen soldiers were in strict order and order, no less than the Sui army.

The carriage was closed, and the interior was as neat as new, with all the utensils. Li Jing helped Xie Kangtu sit down and took a cushion and stuffed it behind him. Gao Sheng Dao's hands were tied behind his back, and his expression was pleasant. Alone Star had the same expression for several days, no panic or grief in his gaze, as if he had long been accustomed to going against the grain; A Yue would sometimes shed tears, but never cried for long.

Only hearing an order from outside, the carriage began to move slowly. Li Jing had mixed feelings in his mind, guessing that he would definitely be escorted to Chien-k'ang, the capital city of Chen. Naturally, A Yue will not survive, what about Alone Star? As of now, Gao Sheng Dao and Xie Kangtu know the identity of Alone Star, if Xiao Mohe knows about it, it is very likely to take the little Alone Star as an article.

However, what puzzled Li Jing the most was the Wushan Fisherwoman. She was equipped with the best martial arts, but she left first. If it were him, he would have tried his best to save her, even if he could not win. But can you blame her? She is an outsider, if not for her, I am afraid that he and Alone Star would have been killed in the Temple of the Mountain God, boat owner Xie would not be able to survive until now without her rescue.

Besides, her martial arts is strong, it is difficult to defeat the crowd, the first time to leave is also brought himself and Alone Star A Yue ...... thought of this, Li Jing heart electric flash - Wushan fisherwoman surface cold and arrogant, but look at A Yue and Alone Star's eyes are full of love! Could it be that she was worried about the two children being restrained, so she chose to leave and then try to rescue them? Yes, if the fight, the enemy will first capture the children to blackmail her, so she chose to be indifferent, so as to avoid constraints, perhaps along the way to wait for the opportunity to rescue.

Having figured out this layer, Li Jing's heart felt better, and he also sat in silence as everyone else did.

Gradually the sky darkened, the only small air-permeable window no longer had any light entering, and the compartment became dark. Gao Sheng Dao finally couldn't hold his breath and said, "Mr Xie, you previously asked me to attach my ear and tell me where the shipbuilding atlas is, can you tell me now?"

Xie Kangtu said, "Mr Gao, you and I are on the same prison car, but still asking about the shipbuilding atlas? To tell you the truth, there is no shipbuilding atlas, it is you who forced me, and only then decided to lie and swindle you."

Gao Sheng Dao said angrily, "Gao Mou has been caught in a trap,it's just a death.! The boat owner deceived Gao Mou, it's really detestable!"

Xie Kangtu said, "Mr Gao is very talented, why don't you use your brain? If there really is a shipbuilding atlas, why didn't General Xiao say anything about it? Jiangzhou is the major town of Chen, does Chen not know that Sui has the intention to destroy Chen? If we want to destroy Chen, we must build a navy. If the Jiangzhou boat company really had the shipbuilding atlas, it would have been searched for by the Chen Kingdom long ago, so how could it wait until today?"

Gao Sheng Dao pondered for a long time and said, "This statement is also reasonable. However, after my spy arrived in the South, the secret report is that only the Jiangzhou Boat Company boats can be called the best in the world. If you don't have a shipbuilding atlas, how can you build them?"

Xie Kangtu asked, "The clothes that Mr Gao is wearing, did you make them yourself?"

Gao Sheng Dao was stunned: "My family is not run a clothing workshop, I naturally bought it from the Chang'an marketplace."

Xie Kangtu said, "That's it. Mr Gao's clothing can be purchased, so why must the Jiangzhou boat companys build their own boats?"

This reasoning was so simple and clear that even Li Jing felt a little ridiculous when he heard it.But Gao Sheng Dao is still unconvinced: "But ...... The person I sent out brought back news, saying it's the Jiangzhou boat company."

Xie Kangtu asked again, "Where are your men now ?"

This question again left Gao Sheng Dao unable to answer. In the darkness, his expression could not be seen, but his embarrassment could still be felt - the secret agent had already been beheaded, and even those monks and short-term worker were all secretly arranged by Xiao Mohe,so how could he has person?Since there were no competent people, how could the information be accurate?

Gao Sheng Dao sighed: "Gao mou eager to excel and win, self-righteousness, boldness, to have today's defeat ......"

Xie Kangtu said: ''I respect your ambition and willingness to risk your life for the sake of levelling Chen. As for victory or defeat, sometimes it is the will of heaven, sometimes it is human conspiracy. However, you shouldn't have killed the brothers of my boat company. These brothers hard work, only for parents, wives and children livelihood, you do not ask, all killed, what is the reason ...... " said here, voice trembling.

Gao Sheng Dao "hey", no more words, seems to have the intention of regret.

Xie Kangtu gradually calmed down his emotions, said: "Mr Gao is from a rich family and does not know the suffering of the people, and he is eager to achieve success in the south, Xie Mou can understand. However, if you kill more people, even if you succeed, what good will it do?"

Gao Sheng Dao was silent for a long time and said, "If I say that the brothers in your line were not killed by my orders, would Mr Xie believe me?"

Xie Kangtu was stunned and said, "Could it be that the fifteen brothers from Congyang and the eighteen colleagues from the head office were not ordered to be killed by the Gongzi?"

Gao Sheng Dao sighed: "Now you and I are imprisoned in the same car, Disasters that are difficult to predict can occur at any time, why should I lie to you? Congyang thing, I have no knowledge, not to mention that I have not given any instructions; the death of the boat company of eighteen people, although I have something to do with it, but I only ordered Hua Qingfeng to try to track down the shipbuilding atlas, and did not order him to kill people.But when Hua Qingfeng returned to me, he said that the people of the boat company counterattacked to the death, and had no choice but to kill them, and let me disguise myself as being bound and sneak into the secret room ......."

This narrative confirms the judgement of the Wushan fisherwoman: the boat company of eighteen lives, really by a person.

Xie Kangtu asked, "How was this Hua Qingfeng able to sneak into the secret room?"

Gao Sheng Dao replied, "In addition to his strong martial arts, Hua Qingfeng also has another skill, which is that he is good at building Mechanical control device and secret room. He once told me that the world's Mechanical control device and Qimen are nothing in his eyes."

Xie Kangtu asked again, "When did Hua Qingfeng become subordinate to Gao Gongzi?"

Gao Sheng Dao said, "Just half a month ago. I encountered bandits on my way across the Ancient Qinling Mountains and was saved by Mr Hua, who learnt that I was an envoy of the imperial court and swore allegiance to me ......"

Xie Kangtu listened and did not speak for a long time. Even when Li Jing heard it, he felt that this son of prime minister Gao actually believed in a man he met on the road! If what he said was true, then this was clearly a net that had long been knotted, waiting for the fish to come and cast it.
