Master of the rivers and lakes

Chapter 177 Dingyuan Fort

Dingyuan Fort was built by the Wei Dynasty thousands of years ago. It was originally used for military purposes, but later dynasties basically abandoned Dingyuan Fort. Today, Dingyuan Fort has been abandoned and has gradually become a shelter for tourists.

To the northwest of Dingyuan Fort is the famous Heizhao Mountain. Whenever the weather is sunny, the Heizhao Mountain will be filled with the beautiful singing of high white clouds, long flowing water, Heizhao mountains and rivers moistening all things....

The scenery of Dingyuan Fort, the waves of the Panhe River, and the majesty of Heizhao Mountain are all worth yearning for.

But Gao Zhijie didn't appreciate it, he hurried the welcoming team to the outside of Dingyuan Fort.

The tall gate of Dingyuan Fort has disappeared into the years, and there is no sound in the surrounding area. This thousand-year-old Dingyuan Fort is surprisingly quiet.

The whole wedding party stopped in front of the Dingyuan Fort. Gao Zhijie jumped off his mount, took a look inside the Dingyuan Fort, and then handed the whip rope to the Luoyan Stick Guard beside him and said, "Send some people to patrol around, one No one else can come in."

The stick guard responded: "Yes!"

Gao Zhijie ordered the welcoming team to stop and rest first, and then walked into Dingyuan Fort with two stick guards and walked towards a house.

When he came to the front of the house, a stick guard directly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull the copper ring on the door. The copper ring made a crisp sound, and there was a "creaking" sound, and he pushed the gate of the courtyard open.

This courtyard is the only place in Dingyuan Castle that can shelter from wind and rain, so it is not as overgrown with weeds and spider webs as those desolate places.

"Take two people to see."

After the stick guard who opened the door took the order, he led a few people into the yard, and they came out of the yard after a while.

The stick guard went directly to Gao Zhijie and clasped his fists, "Go back to Manager Gao, there is no one in the yard."

Gao Zhijie nodded and stepped across the threshold. He coughed lightly first and then said, "Let some old ladies clean out a room and spend the night here."

"Yes!"

After turning around, Gao Zhijie came out of the courtyard and came to the side of the festive carriage, bowed respectfully and said: "Mistress, I have wronged you to rest here tonight, don't worry, my subordinates will guarantee your safety .”

There was a cold female voice from inside the car, and she said, "I'm not married yet, so I can't be Mr. Gao's 'mother'. Mr. Gao should still call me Niece Kang as before."

Gao Zhijie did not hesitate about the title, but said some nice words and then turned and stepped aside. He heard the people in the car getting off the carriage, and also heard the people in the car walking into the yard.

He turned around when he couldn't hear the sound, looked at the old lady beside him and said: "You have to serve the mistress well, if you are a little slack, I won't spare you without the owner speaking! Did you hear me?"

The old lady said quickly: "Don't worry, uncle, these ladies are the best in Leyuan. We will keep them so that the owner and his wife won't feel aggrieved at all."

Gao Zhijie nodded and said, "That's good, let's go."

At this time, a stick guard came from outside Dingyuan Fort, clasped his fists and said, "Return to Manager Gao, the brothers who are patrolling around have been arranged."

Gao Zhijie nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

The stick guard was a little hesitant, as if he wanted to ask something, Gao Zhijie saw it, and said, "Do you want to ask why there is a small town not far ahead, why don't you go directly to the inn in the town, and choose to stay in this desolate place?" place to rest?"

The stick guard hurriedly said: "This subordinate dare not."

Gao Zhijie shook his head and said, "You have to remember that I do everything according to the owner's orders."

"Yes!"

Watching the stick guard leave, Gao Zhijie looked around again, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong, he went back to a room in the yard and ate dry food to fill his stomach.

Although the people in the drum band complained about resting in the wilderness, they didn't say anything because they gave them a lot of money.

The already deserted Dingyuan Fort was a bit lively tonight, joking and drinking, which added a different charm to the Dingyuan Fort under the night.

Gao Zhijie sat in the room and estimated that he had already arrived at Dingyuan Fort, and then he went to Feihukou. From Feihukou to Luoyan Village in Gushui, it took more than half a day to arrive, and the time should be enough.

Gao Zhijie was thinking about something when suddenly a stick guard ran in and pulled him back from his thoughts.

Gao Zhijie's expression turned a little pale when he saw the stick guard entered the door without his consent, but he knew that he had no capital to blame the owner's personal guard.

Gao Zhijie frowned, looked at the stick guard in a bad tone, and asked, "What's going on? You're in a panic, and I can't save you if you bump into the bride!"

The stick guard swallowed, and said anxiously: "Go back to Director Gao, there are two missing brothers patrolling around."

"Two people missing?"

"Yes."

Gao Zhijie stood up and paced back and forth: "Send a few more people to search around, we must find it."

"Yes!"

After the stick guard left, Gao Zhijie's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly called another stick guard and said, "Send a few more people outside the mistress's house, pay attention to all movements, if there is any trouble, don't act recklessly, and immediately send out a sounding arrow as a warning."

"Yes!"

After a while, the stick guard who went out to look for someone had turned back, but there was one more thing in his hand, a small and delicate wooden sword that was palm-width wide.

Gao Zhijie took the wooden sword and weighed it. After thinking for a while, his face suddenly changed color.

"Where did this thing come from?"

"It's hanging on a tree at the corner of the back door of Dingyuan Fort."

"Have those two been found?"

"Those two people were tied to a tree without any injuries. It seems that their acupoints were restrained. The wooden sword was hung around their necks. Just as our people were about to untie the rope, a hidden weapon shot at them. Look, the subordinates dare not act rashly, so come back first, and the rest of the brothers are still there."

"Oh!"

Gao Zhijie looked down at the exquisite wooden sword again, his expression changed, and he whispered:

"Don't disturb the bride, you take half of the people to guard the bride's yard, and I will deal with the rest..."

He waved his hand and continued:

"Those in the drum band are all under surveillance. Without my order, no one can leave Dingyuan Fort."

After giving the instructions, Gao Zhijie went out of the yard, got on his horse, touched the goose wing bell on the side of the saddle and the nine-section whip on the back, then grabbed his mount and headed towards the place the stick guard said.

Gao Zhijie is known as the "Three-Eyed Doorkeeper". In fact, of course he does not have three eyes, but between his eyebrows, there is a black tumor protruding from his forehead, just like an eyeball, which looks quite ferocious.

In addition, the weapons he used were all tougher weapons in the outer gate, and his body was tall and tall, like a half-stacked iron tower, really like a gate god.

However, although he has a fierce appearance, he is not a rude person. On the contrary, he is very scheming, and he is a person who is fierce on the outside and yin on the inside.

He deliberately let the mount walk slowly, already thinking about how to deal with the owner of the wooden sword.
