Chapter 5 Captured

After reading the content on the brocade cloth, Li Gou'er's thoughts were spinning, and he suddenly had an idea. Could this Concubine Li be his father...the sister he had separated for many years?

Li Gou'er shook his head and felt that he was overthinking. His father once said that Lijia Village was a big village back then with a population of more than a thousand. Most of the people had the surname Li. It was very possible that Concubine Li was his aunt.

Low.

Moreover, there was a very eye-catching line written in red at the bottom of the brocade. Anyone who dared to cheat would be punished with death. Such serious consequences immediately gave up all Li Gouer's thoughts.

Li Gou'er returned to his seat and sat down. Zhu Zhengguo said: "What's so interesting about this thing? It's posted everywhere in every state and county in Henan Province."

"Why don't I have one over there?"

"Yes, there are, but they are not as dense as those in Henan Province. After all, Concubine Li is from Henan Province."

Zhu Zhengguo didn't want to waste time on this boring issue, so he pointed to the south gate and said, "They are leaving."

Li Gou'er heard this and stretched his head to look over. Sure enough, the group of people had already shown signs of leaving.

"Why did it open suddenly?"

Zhu Zhengguo did not lose his mind and kept focusing on the situation at the city gate: "Just now, a few soldiers on horseback came into the city. They seemed to have some negotiations with those people. They should be higher-ranking officers. They are not allowed to do this.

."

After a while, the handsome young man rode a horse and led a large group of people away in a hurry.

Li Gouer was overjoyed and stood up quickly: "Pack the food and we will leave the city immediately."

"Don't worry, we're waiting."

Zhu Zhengguo grabbed Li Gouer. Robbery is a serious crime. Once caught, you will lose your skin even if you die. You must be cautious.

They are all gone, what are you waiting for?

Li Gou'er thought about it and whispered: "Are you afraid that they will kill you?"

Zhu Zhengguo shook his head and did not explain. He just called the waiter to pack the food, and then the two of them sat there and waited quietly.

After waiting for two quarters of an hour, there was no movement on the other side of the city gate, and no one was entering or leaving the city gate. The soldiers guarding the gate had already begun to prepare to close the city gate.

At this time, seven or eight passers-by drove two carriages into the city. It must be that the businessmen who went out to do business in the city missed the time and came back a little late.

"Let's go." Zhu Zhengguo stood up suddenly, pulled Li Gou'er and strode away.

After leaving the restaurant, Zhu Zhengguo walked towards the group of people.

"My dear friend, is there any movement outside the city?"

Zhu Zhengguo stopped a man in his thirties with a long stick in his hand.

The man glanced at Zhu Zhengguo: "Why do you ask?"

Zhu Zhengguo smiled and said: "Aren't there a lot of refugees gathered outside the city? I have to go out of the city to do something. It's getting late and I'm afraid it won't be safe."

It turns out that this is the case. The man said: "There are no pedestrians outside the city. After you leave the city, you can avoid the refugee gathering place. It won't be a big deal. It was like this when we came back."

"Thank you!"

Zhu Zhengguo cupped his fists and thanked him, and was about to leave. The man was kind-hearted and raised the long stick in his hand, reminding him: "Seeing as you are strong, it's better to have a stick in your hand, which is safer."

After thanking each other again, Zhu Zhengguo and Li Gouer walked quickly towards the city gate.

"This military master, we were delayed on our work, please let us leave the city."

The soldier who had half closed the door looked back at the two men and said very nonchalantly: "If you have to go, go quickly, don't waste your time."

"Yes, yes, let's go now."

Zhu Zhengguo was overjoyed and ran out quickly with Li Gouer.

Finally came out. The two looked at each other and saw the joy on each other's faces. Li Gou'er said happily: "Brother Zhu, when you leave here, I will definitely help you buy a better pair of armor and armor."

Big knife."

A pair of armor and a big sword would require a large bundle to carry it. It was getting so late and carrying such a big bundle out of the city would easily attract the attention of the gatekeepers, so they didn't take it away. They obviously didn't want to take it away.

After getting ready to come back, the armor and sword were discarded.

Zhu Zhengguo smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. With those dozens of gold and hundreds of taels of silver, we can do some kind of business together, and why should I be a soldier?"

"That's true. With this money, we can live a better life."

Li Gouer nodded repeatedly and covered his chest, where he placed the dozens of gold pieces he had snatched.

The two of them trotted forward, not following the man's advice. They just wanted to go to the refugee gathering place, so after leaving the city, they continued along the road. After walking for less than two miles, they heard the sound of horse hooves, and several cavalrymen came from

He quickly rushed out from the corner of a nearby hillside and blocked Zhu Zhengguo and Li Gouer.

Li Gou'er and Zhu Zhengguo were shocked on the spot. Zhu Zhengguo looked at them a few times and his face changed slightly. These cavalrymen were all wearing bright armor, red tassel helmets, and long swords hanging on their waists. This was the standard for palace guards.

Dress up, why would they appear here in the middle of the night and block your way?

Zhu Zhengguo clasped his fists and asked, "Why did the military masters block the way?"

"Stop and don't move."

One of the cavalrymen gave him a cold look and said nothing to him.

"The city gate has been closed. If it's not the person you're looking for, there's nothing I can do."

The voice of talking came from the side. Li Gou'er turned around and saw that a dozen cavalry were walking towards this direction, followed by dozens of common people behind them.

The leader of the cavalry is a young man of thirteen or fourteen years old, with a handsome appearance and very fair skin. Riding alongside him is a cavalry officer in his thirties. Beside this cavalry officer, there is a young man following him.

There they bent down to salute. When they saw this young man, Li Gouer and Zhu Zhengguo's faces suddenly turned pale.

Two cavalrymen rushed to Li Gou'er and Zhu Zhengguo with torches, illuminating their faces.

"It was them, General, these two scoundrels who attacked us."

This young man was none other than one of the two followers of the dandy. He recognized Li Gouer and Zhu Zhengguo at a glance and screamed loudly.

The cavalry officer glanced at Li Gou'er and Zhu Zhengguo, sneered, turned around and shouted to the people behind him: "It's okay, you can leave."

As soon as these people left the city, they were detained by the soldiers, and now they were let go inexplicably. They were full of doubts, but at this moment they dared to ask more questions. With the permission of the leading officer, they immediately left in a hurry.

scattered.

"You two thieves, you hurt someone and you still want to run away, let's see where you can run."

The follower came to Li Gou'er, cursed a lot, then raised his head and laughed, his attitude was very arrogant.

At this time, there was another sound of horse hoofbeats behind him, and a moment later, the playboy led a dozen servants to the scene.
