Chapter 134: Leaving Ziyang City(1/3)

Seeing Jia Nanfeng and Ning Wei chased out of the palace, Gao Shou, who breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the broken roof that was beaten by Yuan Xi, and spat fiercely, "Don't you!"

Gao Shou is now forty-two years old and has been the escort of the royal palace for five years.

He is from a poor family, and his parents are just honest farmers.

Gao Shou has been taller than children of the same age since he was a child. When he was playing with his friends, he always took the lead.

Since he was a child, he has loved this feeling of taking the lead.

As he grew older, fewer and fewer friends were playing with him. They all carried hoes with their parents and began to learn to take the responsibility of being a member of the family with their tender shoulders.

But Gao Shou didn't like this. He didn't want to be his father, and then his son would become him again.

But he can only dislike it.

Because their Gao family has been farming for generations.

His parents spoiled him very much, but in this spoiled home, at most, they gave him one more bite of the only delicious food in the home.

Old Gao's family's surname is Gao, except for him, Gao Shou, there has never been a tall person in his ancestors.

At least everyone in the village said so.

Gao Shou's father is about the same height as his mother.

Fortunately, Gao Shou looks like his father.

When he was young, his mother often said to her neighbors, looking at our Haizhu, she will definitely have a future in the future.

Haizhu is Gao Shou's nickname.

The name "Shou" was asked by his father from the patriarch.

Gao Shou's father didn't know what the name meant, so he was embarrassed to ask the patriarch, so he took the words written by the patriarch and went home.

The people in the village, except for the patriarch's family, only knew their names.

After hearing what Gao's mother said, the women sitting under the tree and sucking their shoes together smiled. Who wouldn't think that their children are promising?

A woman pinched the needle and rubbed her hair twice, stopped her work, looked at Gao's mother and said, "If you have a chance, you can still leave our farm?" Whose baby will have to take the hoe to farm in the future? I see that your Haizhu baby is too wild, and it may not be a good crop in the future."

Someone took over the conversation and said that the Haizhu kid is indeed tall and big, half a head taller than my cow kid. They all grew up eating rice in the field. Why is the rice from your Gao family so supportive?

Gao's mother looked at her son who was running around with her children, and her eyes were full of happiness.

When Gao Shou was sixteen or seventeen years old, he was taken to work as a labor service and no matter how his mother cried, it would not work.

There are only two men in the family. Gao Shou couldn't go, so his father had to go.

Gao Shou volunteered to leave Zhuangzi regardless of his mother who cried and cried.

Maybe it was really his time to operate, and the army needed to replenish strong men. He picked people from their batch of corvee labor, so Gao Shou could easily enter the army.

After more than 20 years of hard work, he finally became the escort of the royal palace with his own efforts and luck.

In a peaceful and prosperous era, it is not difficult to be the escort of the royal palace.

Gao Shou's parents had long been taken to Ziyang City to enjoy their happiness.

Before leaving, Gao's mother, who was already an old woman, pretended not to see the envious gaze under the big tree, and was chattering, there was nothing good to go to the city.

But the smile between the eyebrows and eyes cannot be hidden.

When her son was arrested for labor service, she had heard people say a lot of sarcastic words.

What's the use of being so big? Isn't it just to be a coolie?

If you have such great strength to have a child, it is better to have a few more children, so as to save the lack of labor at home.

Something else said that her man is not good enough.

Is it okay for me? You know what a fool!

Gao’s mother wanted to tell them that my son was promising and that my man was also amazing.

But she didn't say anything.

Now she is the general's mother and has nothing to say to these rural women.

Seeing that, the patriarch has come to see my man off in person.

The patriarch was indeed holding Dad Gao Shou's hand and kept muttering, when he named him, I knew that Haizhu would definitely have a bright future, and he was the one who could accomplish great things. I heard that Haizhuwa was a guard for the king, which was really amazing. I am very good at the word "guard".

Gao's father just grinned.

Gao's mother looked displeased after hearing this. Haizhu is the escort leader of our family. If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. Besides, Haizhuwa is also something you can call him?

After entering Ziyang City, the two elders were surprised to find that their son had given birth to a fat, fair and clean grandson for them.

The daughter-in-law is also very polite, always calling out "father-in-law" and "mother-in-law".

Unfortunately, the dialogue between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is less than three and a half sentences except these titles.

Gao Shou felt that his life was quite perfect, not to mention that he had just taken a concubine half a month ago.

This was not because he had forced himself to rob him, but because he brought him to the clan leader when he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors during the Qingming Festival.

The girl is the niece of the head of the clan leader's wife's family. She is only 28 years old and looks like a water spirit. Gao Shou felt that the Gao family had become prosperous and that she would not have one son alone, so she brought the girl back.

He put his hands on his hips and held the hilt of the sword with the other hand, and stood tall and frowned.

Why did you recite it so little?

This is the royal palace! No one dared to come in for decades to show off. Why did such a thing happen when he became the commander?

Who am I trying to provoke whom?

When Jia Nanfeng and Ning Wei came to the palace, Gao Shou was still a little dissatisfied, thinking that the King of Shu could not trust him or his brothers.

After today's incident, Gao Shou shook his head and sighed, no wonder the king invited Mr. Jia to the mansion. These people in the world are indeed very difficult to deal with.

Look at the escaped boy, who is only seventeen or eighteen years old, why is he so powerful?

Gao Shou only knew that an assassin came to the palace. As for what the assassin did, he still didn't know.

Ye Bei walked in small steps among a group of people holding knives and guns. Finally, he saw Gao Shou, who was frowning, and quickly stepped forward and called out loudly: "Commander Gao, has the assassin caught?"

In fact, seeing this situation, Ye Bei had already guessed that Yuan Xi must have escaped from the palace.

He didn't think much about it, and knew that Yuan Xi was still alive, he felt relieved in his heart.

When Gao Shouyi saw that he was a little eunuch, he said angrily: "Don't you have eyes? If someone catches him, wouldn't I tie him up?"

Ye Bei had long been accustomed to Gao Shou's tone, and he didn't care. He bowed to him and whispered: "General Gao, the king was secretly injured by the assassin. He is still unconscious now. The second prince asked me to ask the general if he had arrested the culprit."

Gao Shou's eyes turned dark, and the man suddenly fell backward. The personal soldiers standing beside him hurriedly stretched out their arms to hug him, and several people called out urgently.

After being pinched by someone, Gao Shou opened his eyes, pressed his chest and said to Ye Bei: "Eunuch Ye, with Mr. Jia and Mr. Ning here, can that person succeed?"

Before Ye Bei could answer, he said to himself: "No wonder I set up a net of heaven and earth and let him run away. It turned out to be a top-notch master."

Covering his chest, he coughed violently, and then said to Ye Bei: "I am ashamed to say that I have also come forward and fought with the thief for several rounds. However, it is not my best to fight alone. He hit the chest with a palm, and it is still a little difficult to breathe."

Ye Bei glanced at Gao Shou strangely. He didn't believe that Commander Gao could use a few moves in Yuan Xi's hands.

Someone was beaten with a slap, and even opened his eyes to tell lies. If Gao Shouzhen was beaten with a slap with a slap with a slap with a slap with a slap with a slap with a slap with a slap with a slap with a slap with a slap with a slap with a slap with a slap with a slap with a slap with

Ye Bei could see clearly when Yuan Xi broke out of the hall.

Ye Bei couldn't help asking, "Commander Gao, since the thief ran away, why don't you go after him?"

Gao Shou gave Ye Bei a blank look. When he thought that he was sent by the Second Highness, he changed his face and smiled bitterly: "Chasing? How to chase? Do you know how high the courtyard wall of our palace is? They just jumped and flipped over. When this general led his people out of the gate, he would be gone, so how could he chase him?"

Gao Shou thought that the assassin would run away, so he would go and receive a punishment. At worst, he would send additional people to guard the mansion in the future. After all, what can he do if even Mr. Jia can't capture someone?

Even the overwhelming arrows could not shoot him. Such a character was not something he could catch.

After knowing that King Shu was injured, Gao Shou did not pretend to faint.

This is not something that can be done with just accepting a punishment. Not only will it be demoted, it may even lose its head.

Thinking of this, Gao Shou hurriedly said, "When the thief escaped, I have asked Mr. Jia and Mr. Ning to chase him. They are both martial arts masters and are much more powerful than ordinary people like us. In addition, I have sent someone to notify the city guard that we must guard the city gate."

After hearing Gao Shou mentioning that Jia Nanfeng and Ning Ting went to chase Yuan Xi, Ye Bei was a little lost, not just worried about Yuan Xi's safety.

Because he was very sure that it was Jia Nanfeng who shot the king.

So what should Jia Nanfeng do after he returned?

A trace of regret flashed in Ye Bei's heart.

It was because I was impulsive. Even if I wanted to tell the truth, I should choose the right time.

If Lord Yuan dies, what's the use of saying it or not?

"Eunuch Ye?"

Seeing that Ye Bei did not speak, Gao Shou called out softly.

Ye Bei came to his senses and bowed to Gao Shou and said, "General Gao, let's go and report to the Second Highness together!"
