The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

After hearing the news, Gao Dequan hurried to the gate tower of the village. After taking a look at Wang Yingtai and others, he saw that they were defeated troops.

This made his heart sink suddenly.

Because he knew that his precious son worked as a guide in the army and was highly appreciated by General Wang Yingtai, he was temporarily appointed as military counselor.

Before entering the mountain, he asked his servant to send back a letter saying that there were 3,000 officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits, so he should not worry.

After Gao Dequan learned about the situation of the officers and soldiers, he thought that the suppression of thieves this time was a matter of putting eggs in a stone mortar, but he didn't know that now it looked like he had failed?

The most important thing is that he looked at these defeated soldiers several times and did not see his precious son.

"You haven't opened the door yet? Do you believe we can call in?"

The defeated soldiers who called for the door were very angry. Seeing that Gao Laozhuang did not open the door for a while, they started to scream.

Gao Dequan was only thinking about his son, and asked at the top of his voice: "But they are General Wang Shen's soldiers?"

Wang Yingtai didn't expect that the landlord here would know him, so he said angrily: "You know it's me, why don't you open the door quickly?"

"General Wang, don't worry, I'll ask someone to open the door right now."

With that said, Gao Dequan signaled Xiang Yong to open the village gate.

Immediately, the defeated soldiers poured in and ran directly to the nearby people's homes to find water and food.

Gao Dequan, who had just stepped off the gate of the village, was almost knocked down by the defeated soldiers, but fortunately he was supported by his servants.

He didn't care much and hurriedly greeted Wang Yingtai and asked with a smile: "General Wang, my son Gao Xiucheng is a counselor in the army, can the general see him?"

"Are you Gao Xiucheng's father? Is this Gao Laozhuang?" Wang Yingtai was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that he would just escape to Gao Xiucheng's house.

But Gao Xiucheng...it seemed like he hadn't seen him again since he kicked him down?

"We were ambushed by the rebels and were temporarily defeated. The mountain road was difficult to walk and everyone was scattered. I don't know where Gao Xiucai is. Maybe he will come back tomorrow." Wang Yingtai rarely explained.

It's just that his face looks a little unnatural.

However, Wang Yingtai's face was dark and Gao Dequan didn't notice it.

Gao Dequan wanted to ask for more information, so Wang Yingtai said impatiently: "Hurry and prepare wine and meat so that we can have a full meal and have a night's rest. Tomorrow we will go to fight against the rebels in Tianmu Mountain!"

Seeing Wang Yingtai's displeasure, Gao Dequan had no choice but to endure his anxiety and ask someone to arrange food and wine.

In the meantime, I heard that some defeated soldiers were eating and drinking at villagers' houses and insulting women, so Gao Dequan had to mediate.

He was so busy that he didn't even have the chance to ask Wang Yingtai for information.

However, he asked Qian Boss Zhou Chengdong in the meantime, but Zhou Chengdong also didn't know Gao Xiucheng's whereabouts.

Soon after dark, the well-fed officers and soldiers fell asleep in a large courtyard arranged by Gao Dequan.

Because it was in Gaolaozhuang and there were local soldiers on patrol, Wang Yingtai only arranged a dozen auxiliary soldiers to patrol and stand guard at night.

However, these dozen auxiliary soldiers stood for less than an hour before they all fell asleep sitting or lying on the ground outside the courtyard gate.

At the middle of Xu Shizhong (8 o'clock in the night), someone called the door again outside Gao Laozhuang.

"Master Qi, open the door, it's us."

"Gao Ming Gaoliang? Why are you two back at this time? Where is the young master?"

"Let us go in and talk."

Soon, Gao Ming Gaoliang was put into Gao Laozhuang, and was taken into the Gao family mansion by Master Qi, where he met Gao Dequan, who had not rested yet.

Gao Xiucheng brought four servants, and these two were a pair of brothers.

Therefore, when Gao Dequan saw the two of them, he asked anxiously: "Where is Xiucheng?"

Gao Ming and Gao Liang both had red eyes and started crying.

"Master, the young master was captured by thieves."

"It's all the fault of General Wang Shen. When the thieves attacked, the young master just made a suggestion and let General Wang Shen be kicked down.

As soon as we helped the young master up, we were knocked down and separated by the defeated soldiers.

We were wrapped up by the defeated soldiers and fled into the woods. Looking back, we saw the young master, Gao Guang, and Gao Hui being captured by the bandit soldiers. "

After listening to Gao Ming Gaoliang's words, Gao Dequan turned pale at first, and finally asked nervously: "Are you sure that Xiucheng was just captured by the thieves and not dead?"

Gao Ming said: "After we escaped from the mountain, we were worried about the young master's safety, so we sneaked back to see if we could rescue the young master.

But the big water bottle village is heavily defended, and we can't get in at all. But before dark, I saw the bandits leading many prisoners into the mountains. I could see clearly that the young master, Gao Guang and Gao Hui were all inside. "

Gao Dequan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then worried: "The traitors won't kill prisoners, right?"

Gao Ming and Gao Liang turned pale after hearing this, and said in frustration, "We don't know either."

On the other hand, Gao Dexuan, Gao Dequan's seventh cousin, spoke up: "Third brother, if the thieves really want to kill the prisoners, where can't they do it? Why do they have to send them to the mountains? I think Xiucheng is not in danger of his life for a while."

Gao Dequan walked a few steps in the room with a worried look on his face, and said: "There is no fear of life for the moment, but you can show off your temper, or I will be chopped off by the thieves tomorrow."

Gao Xiucheng was the only son born in his thirties, and the only scholar in the Gao family in recent decades. He was still very young.

Therefore, Gao Dequan and others all know that Gao Xiu's achievements are the lifeblood of Gao Dequan.

Seeing that Gao Dequan was in such a hurry, Gao Dexuan said: "Third brother, if you want to save Xiucheng, you definitely can't rely on officers and soldiers.

No matter when the officers and soldiers will go to Tianmu Mountain to suppress the bandits again, even if they go tomorrow, there is no guarantee that the rebels will injure Xiucheng's life first.

The only plan for now is to send people into the mountain overnight to contact the thief to see if the young master can be redeemed. "

"Yes, yes!" Gao Dequan nodded repeatedly at first, but after he felt more at ease, he thought of another question, "Those thieves in Tianmu Mountain can defeat thousands of officers and soldiers, so in the future they will not just rob landowners like us?

Even if they agree to let the show succeed, how much food will my family have to spend to satisfy their appetite? "

No one responded to this statement for a while.

Because Gao Dequan is the head of the family, he can only decide how much food to use to redeem his son.

However, Gao Dexuan was still a member of the Gao family. He was very worried that Gao Dequan would give all the money and food of the Gao family to thieves for the sake of his precious son. As soon as his mind changed, he came up with a "clever plan".

"Third brother, I have a way to redeem Xiucheng without spending any money or food.

Moreover, in the future, we can still be taken care of by the thieves in Tianmu Mountain, and we will be less likely to be lent food, or even be lent no food at all. "

Gao Dequan indeed regarded his son as his lifeblood, but he was also stingy and reluctant to part with money and food.

After hearing Gao Dexuan's words, he immediately became energetic and asked: "Oh, what's the solution? Seventh brother, please tell me!"

Gao Dexuan motioned to Gao Ming and Gao Liang to go out first, and then he leaned into Gao Dequan's ear and whispered...

night.

Liu Sheng went to bed at around nine o'clock.

After the meeting in the afternoon, he took several hundred standing troops and escorted more than a thousand prisoners to Liujiazhai and then to North America.

He must have been worried about so many prisoners, so he personally went to North America and spent a lot of time disrupting the original relationships of the prisoners and dividing them into four prisoner camps of nearly 300 people.

One was placed in the Huachu Camp, and the remaining three were placed in the Riverside Camp.

Because there are many people in the camp by the river, there is more room to employ people, and there is also a standing army stationed there.

It is enough to suppress these prisoners and prevent them from causing trouble.

Of course, because there were too many prisoners, and most of the Chinese troops were transferred to the Ming Dynasty, it was difficult to prevent the prisoners from escaping.

But when sending these prisoners into the cave, passing through the villa, and entering the space gate, Liu Sheng did not hide anything, and told them that the other side was a wild overseas land tens of thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty.

I believe that the vast majority of people will be suppressed. Those who are not suppressed will not choose to escape as long as they are not too stupid.

Even if a few people do escape, they may not be able to survive in the wild; even if they survive, they will not pose much of a threat to the current Huabu, so it is not a big deal.

In short, it is much less troublesome to send the captives to North America than to leave them here in Tianmu Mountain.

However, after the whole thing was done, even though Liu Sheng was extremely energetic, he felt a little tired.

Considering that he would have to get up early tomorrow to lead his troops out of the mountains, he went to bed early.

Unexpectedly, not long after he fell asleep, the intercom placed next to the bed woke him up.

"Is the leader here? I am the red lady."

Matchmaker?

Contact me via walkie-talkie in the middle of the night?

Liu Sheng did not think about the matter between men and women, but thought something had happened in Dashui Pingzhai, so he connected the conversation.

"what's up?"

"Do you still remember the leader of Gaolaozhuang, who is more than ten miles (straight-line distance) to the southeast?"

Liu Sheng had already memorized the map around Tianmu Mountain, and the name of Gao Laozhuang was very special. Of course he remembered it, and said, "Just tell me."

"Gao Dequan, the landlord of Gao Laozhuang, sent someone to Dashui Pingzhai to tell me that he wanted to redeem his young master, Gao Dequan's son Gao Xiucheng."
