Chapter 440: 41
323 He kept saying that we can't delay the matter of Jiu Si!
The master will remember this kindness for the rest of his life!
They saw it with their own eyes and kept it in their hearts and never dared to forget it for a moment.
At this time, the skin on the inside of Doctor Bai's thighs had been rubbed raw, and blood had stained both sides of his trouser legs from riding on the horse. In addition, due to long periods of exposure to the wind and rain, the cold weather, his old age, and his weak body, he caught a cold.
Doctor Bai is still running a high fever.
But even so, Doctor Bai still persisted, overcoming the pain, and just like these guards carefully trained by Chen Jie, he insisted on finishing the entire course.
Even half a day earlier.
It can be said that Doctor Bai relied entirely on his perseverance, or even that he was trying to gain the best benefit for his disciple.
By saving Liu Song, Old Monster Liu owed Chen Jie a favor. Since he owed a favor, he had to repay it and help his disciple Jiu Si.
He is old and useless, and there are not many people who can help his disciple. So this time, he is determined to complete this task with all his might, not for anything else, but just for his disciple's needs.
"Ahem, Chen Shu, where is the front?"
Doctor Bai looked at Chen Shu and asked. Chen Shu was the leader of Chen Jie's Twelve Tiger Guards. Xiaohu was a member of a separate organization and was not considered one of the Tiger Guards.
Chen Jie gave all the twelve tiger guards names and arranged them in the order of the twelve zodiac signs: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Mao, Rabbit...
Chen Shu heard this and said, "In front of us is Sanshilipu, in front of that is Ershilipu, in front of that is Yangjia Town, after passing Yangjia Town is our Xiantao Village, and then we can enter the city."
Doctor Bai asked, "How many miles is it?"
Chen Shu said: "It should be less than fifty miles away!"
After hearing this, Doctor Bai nodded and said, "Well, let's all work hard and hurry up to get back to the city before the rain comes."
After hearing this, Chen Shu said, "Master Bai, your body."
"Ahem, it's okay. Just take some time to recover. I'm a doctor. I know my body."
Chen Shu heard this and said, "In that case, thank you for your hard work, Master Bai."
Bai Wenjing said: "Haha, it's okay, cough cough cough... let's go."
As they spoke, the group quickened their pace.
…
At this time, outside the Mianshui City, a horse was rushing towards Yangjia Town frantically. Yes, it was Chen Jiusi.
It's not that Chen Jiusi didn't want to leave the city quickly, but he couldn't. Nan Batian had sent people to keep an eye on him all day. If he left the city early, it would only alert the enemy. If they changed their plan or took action in advance, he would have no way to do anything.
So he waited until dark, which was almost time for them to change their plans.
Only then did Chen Jie start his plan and go out of the city to rescue.
Moreover, according to his plan, he would start from Mianshui County and rush to Yangjia Town. The timing was absolutely perfect and there would be no accidents.
When the time comes, all we have to do is bring Master back safely.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie kicked the BMW under his crotch hard. This horse was borrowed by Chen Jie from Old Monster Liu and was called Black Dragon. It was a BMW.
It was originally prepared for Liu Song, but Liu Song got into trouble, so the horse was left in the Cao Gang. It happened that Chen Jie was short of a horse, so the horse was lent to Chen Jie.
This black dragon ran really fast. Although not as fast as lightning, it was much faster than Chen Jie's horses.
The only drawback is that it is very expensive to own a BMW like this, and most people really can't afford it.
When feeding this kind of BMW, you need to use good concentrated feed, and this concentrated feed also requires soybeans.
Soybeans were a very precious commodity in that era, and ordinary people simply could not afford to eat them. In fact, let alone this era, even in later China, soybeans would have to rely on foreign imports.
The soybean yield of this era generally reached 50 to 60 kilograms per mu.
These beans are also used to make tofu, bean paste, and soy sauce. Therefore, the price remains high.
This kind of BMW requires at least five pounds of beans a day, and it also needs to be mixed with some other concentrated feed, which is very expensive.
But expensive things are usually very useful, just like this black dragon, which, after eating and drinking enough, gallops out of the city.
It took only half an hour to reach Yangjia Town and the desolate graveyard, which was much faster than expected.
But as soon as he arrived here, Chen Jie's face changed. He found that there was no one around. His master and the others had not arrived, and there was no sign of Gu Qingfeng. How, how could this be possible!
Where is Gu Qingfeng?
Chen Jie suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Gu Qingfeng was not here. Did he not come, or...
not good!
Chen Jie suddenly thought of a possibility, and immediately got on the horse, then kicked the horse's belly hard, and said, "Gee, gee, gee..."
He thought of a possibility, which was also the possibility he feared the most, that Gu Qingfeng had changed the location of the ambush!
…
Boom boom...
The thunder in the sky became more and more frequent, and the sound became more and more muffled, like the roar of a wild beast or the snoring of a giant.
Bai Wenjing and his group rode forward on horseback.
Bai Wenjing asked: "Where is this place?"
Chen Shu looked around and said, "We should have reached Ershilipu."
"Twenty Miles."
Bai Wenjing murmured something, and at this moment the cavalry team immediately stopped.
Ouch...
The riders pulled the reins, and soon they saw two big trees lying across the official road ahead, and between the trees was a huge rock, with a person sitting on the rock with his back to them.
Seeing this scene, everyone looked at each other, and then someone looked at Chen Shu.
"Brother Rat?"
At this time, several of the Twelve Tiger Guards looked at Chen Shu. Chen Shu frowned and said, "Don't move yet. They might be from the Green Forest Sect."
After hearing this, Chen Niu on the side said, "Boss, haven't you heard that there is a Green Forest Road in Mianshui County?"
"Yes, this Mianshui River belongs to the fishing gang and the canal gang. No bandit can succeed here. Boss, I'm afraid they are here with bad intentions. Be careful."
At this time, the sixth Chen She spoke up. After hearing this, Chen Shu said, "Well, be alert. I'll go take a look first. You guys protect Mr. Bai. If something happens, you know what to do, right?"
After hearing this, a tiger guard said, "Haha, don't worry, everything is based on protecting the old man's safety. At the critical moment, you can sacrifice yourself."
Chen Shu said: "Brothers, we are the direct descendants of the hall master. It was the hall master who brought us out of Xiantao Town. Otherwise, we might have to farm there for the rest of our lives and be oppressed farmers for the rest of our lives."
"We were oppressed, insulted, and persecuted, but it was the master who allowed us to live a normal life. It was the master who gave us a spacious house and a warm home. Some of our brothers got married and had children. As the saying goes, a gentleman will die for his friend."
After hearing this, everyone nodded and said, "A gentleman will die for his friend!"
Everyone looked at each other, and then Chen Shu took out two silver ingots of fifty taels from his pocket, then came to the big rock and clasped his fists and said, "I don't know where these three old men and four young men are from, but we are friends now that we meet. Here is a hundred taels of silver. Please forgive me if you can give me more or less."
After saying this, Chen Shu took a step back, then turned back and said to Chen Niu: "Second brother, let's go."
As they spoke, the group dismounted and prepared to lead their horses away.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly came out: "Haha... did I let you go?"
In a word, the Twelve Tiger Guards and the White Tiger Guards behind them all became alert.
The twelve tiger guards grasped their knives together. At this time, they heard the man say, "Oh, you are very vigilant. You are all good talents. It's a pity that someone is willing to buy your lives. Ten thousand taels of gold is much more valuable than your one hundred taels of silver..."
"Line up and protect Master Bai!"
After hearing what this man said, the Twelve Tiger Guards immediately became alert and shouted to protect Doctor Bai. The next moment, a group of people gathered together and protected Doctor Bai in the center. At the same time, they drew their swords and prepared for battle.
Seeing this, the man sitting on the stone laughed and said, "Why, you don't think you can survive under my hands with just over twenty of you, do you?"
As he spoke, the man slowly stood up and turned around.
Seeing this person turn around, everyone looked up and was immediately shocked: "Gu, Gu Qingfeng!"
They might not know other people, but how could they not know such a famous person as Gu Qingfeng? He is one of the Thirteen Guardians of Mianyang River, the famous Ghost Hand, and he is also the leader of the Ghost Hand Hall of Cao Gang!
They didn't expect this person to come back and kill them!
Thinking of this, everyone was very puzzled. Yes, this person was from the Cao Gang, why would he come to kill them?
Actually, it's not their fault, because when they left Mianshui, Gu Qingfeng hadn't rebelled yet, so in their impression, this Gu Qingfeng was still the famous Ghost Hand Hall Master of the Cao Gang!
Doctor Bai heard this and took two steps forward and said, "Master Gu, how are you?"
Doctor Bai knew Gu Qingfeng and they had a good relationship. When Peng Shizhong, Zhang Liye, Gu Qingfeng, and two officials from Huangzhou Prefecture came to Mianshui County to arrest Ni Wenjun, they all visited Bai Wenjing.
It's simple, Bai Wenjing just has more seniority.
At this time, Bai Wenjing came out to talk. Gu Qingfeng glanced at Bai Wenjing, then clasped his fists and said, "Doctor Bai, it's been a long time since we last met. How are you?"
"Thanks to Hall Master Gu, it's not bad. But what's happening today, Hall Master Gu?"
Gu Qingfeng heard this and said, "Doctor Bai, I was entrusted by someone today, so Doctor Bai, please don't make it difficult for me. I don't want to kill Doctor Bai either. How about this, Doctor Bai commits suicide, and then gives me the antidote he got from Shennong, and I will keep these people safe?"
After hearing this, Bai Wenjing frowned and said, "Master Gu, what do you mean? I asked for this elixir to save the life of Liu Song, the son of Liu Gang's leader. Why do you want to kill us like this?"
Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng laughed and said, "Doctor Bai, if you hadn't done this to save that little bastard Liu Song, I would have let you go. But you saved him. Sorry, Doctor Bai, you have to leave your life behind today."
Bai Wenjing frowned and looked at Gu Qingfeng and said, "I saved a person, what's wrong with that?"
Gu Qingfeng said: "The fault is not yours, but that of Old Monster Liu!"
After that, Gu Qingfeng looked at the time and said, "Well, Doctor Bai, it's getting late, so please make a decision. Do you want to leave your life behind alone, or do you want all of you to leave your life behind together?"
After hearing this, the Twelve Tiger Guards reacted immediately. Chen Shu pulled Doctor Bai into the battle circle and shouted, "Form a formation and protect Master Bai."
"yes!"
After hearing this, the Twelve Tiger Guards immediately stood in line and formed a military formation, while a dozen ordinary White Tiger Guards at the side also drew their swords and formed a defensive formation.
Doctor Bai frowned at this time and clenched his hands tightly. How could this happen?
No, I can't die here. If I die here, Liu Song will surely die without the antidote. At that time, the alliance between Old Monster Liu and Jiu Si might change. Now Nan Batian wishes Jiu Si would die.
If there was no external aid like Old Monster Liu, how could Jiu Si be a match for Nan Batian? What should he do?
Anxiety appeared on Bai Wenjing's pale and tired face.
At this time, Chen Shu, who was protecting Bai Wenjing, said, "Master Bai, don't worry. We are here. As long as one of us is alive today, we will never let you get hurt in the slightest."
