Chapter 228: No Choice
Chun Tao was frightened, she suddenly heard fierce footsteps, and when she turned her head, she saw a group of guards rushing up from the staircase, swinging their swords to kill this side.
The head of the Tang guard rolled down the deck and was spotted by another guard, which alarmed several other guards below, and the guards shouted as they ran, "There are assassins!" Catch the assassins! ”
Chun Tao was anxious, and ran into the inner room with Guo Song, where a man in his sixties was sitting in front of the couch, a box in his hand had just been opened, and there were four or five letters inside, Guo Song's long sword was against his throat, making him unable to move.
The old man was Lu Sigong, he was awakened by the sound of fighting outside, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and pulled out the box from under the pillow, ready to destroy the letters inside, but he was still a step too late, and as soon as he opened the box, Guo Song came in.
Guo Song snatched the box from his hand and handed it to Chun Tao, "Look whose letter it is?" ”
Lu Sigong suddenly glared at Chun Tao angrily and scolded: "Slut! ”
The corner of Guo Song's eyes swept back, and with a flip of his wrist, half of Lu Sigong's ear was cut off, and he suddenly screamed in pain.
At this moment, a group of samurai poured into the outer chamber and shouted, "Put down your sword!" ”
Guo Song was unmoved, and said coldly to Lu Sigong: "If you don't want to die, just call them out!" ”
Lu Sigong covered his bloody face and shouted, "You guys stand down!" ”
Several guards looked at each other and had to retreat, and at this time, the soldiers also came up, and more than a hundred people crowded the aisle of the ship.
"Childe, it's Yuan Zai's letter, a total of four!" Spring peach road on the side.
Guo Song nodded, he moved quickly, immediately took out a rope and tied Lu Sigong back, sprinkled some hemostatic powder on his ears, pulled out a sharp quenched dagger from his boots and handed it to Chun Tao, and said to her: "Look at him, if he dares to mess around, he will stab him, let him taste the taste of ten thousand ants devouring his heart." ”
Lu Sigong glanced at the blue dagger in fear, lowered his head, and his eyes showed a fierce light, but he didn't dare to move.
Guo Song put away the letter, walked to the door with his sword, shouted, and killed.
The soldiers are not worried, the key is to kill a few guards in order to fully control the situation.
Guo Song slaughtered into the flock like a tiger, instantly cut down three guards, and another guard was cut off his right arm and fled in panic.
Guo Song was worried that the soldiers would enter through the window, so he didn't dare to go far, and quickly retreated to the cabin.
The remaining three guards and soldiers did not dare to approach, and they all stood at the ends of the two sides and shouted.
Guo Song changed the weapon in his hand to a bow, pulled out an arrow, just probed, dozens of arrows at the same time whistling and shooting, Guo Song let the opponent rain of arrows, suddenly pulled the bow, an arrow shot, the arrow was as fast as lightning, a guard in the east was commanding the soldiers, the arrow had arrived in front of him, he found that he had been unable to dodge, an arrow hit the chest, shot through the heart, the guard screamed, fell on his back.
Guo Song shot an arrow, immediately turned to the west, pulled out three arrows, and shot a series of arrows, but the west guard was very focused, he swung his sword and split an arrow, which shocked his arm slightly numb, the second arrow and the third arrow were shot in front of him almost at the same time, the guard dodged the second arrow, and a soldier behind was shot and fell down the stairs, and the third one was just a little off the left, and the score was not bad.
The guard could no longer dodge the third arrow, 'Poof! An arrow hit the door and pierced through the brain, and the guard screamed and was killed instantly.
The soldiers were so frightened that they dodged, Guo Song also retreated, thirteen guards had already been killed by him, twelve people, and one person had his arm cut off, the threat was not great, and the rest were soldiers.
shouted for the capital captain: "Listen to the people inside, you have been surrounded, there is only one way to die, only you guarantee the safety of the road commander, we can let you leave safely!" ”
Guo Song snorted coldly, there is still such a stupid person.
"Who sent you?" Lu Sigong, who had been silent, finally spoke.
After all, he has been a local minister in Duzhen Lingnan for many years, and he has been guessing who sent Guo Song, Tian Bingsi, Li Zhengji, Li Yu, the Son of Heaven, or Xiangguo Yuanzai.
He has basically ruled out Tian Bingsi and Li Zhengji, if it is one of the two of them, there should be a large number of ships and troops to force him to land, judging from Guo Song's snatching of the letter, if he is not Li Yu's person, then Yuan Zai's person.
"Do you still need to ask me this question?" Guo Song looked at him mockingly.
"That's right, you must have been sent by the Son of Heaven."
Lu Sigong thought about it, and ruled out Yuan Zai, just now Chun Tao called Yuan Zai's name, obviously not the person sent by Yuan Zai.
Lu Sigong groaned and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Guo Song glanced at him and said: "I guess you can guess it, I might as well tell it clearly, the Son of Heaven sent me for two purposes, one is to recover your ill-gotten gains, and the other is to get evidence of Yuan Zai's collusion with you, I have already obtained Yuan Zai's letter, and the next step is to take back your ill-gotten gains." ”
Lu Sigong snorted disdainfully, "Thirty ships, do you think you can capture them alone?" ”
Guo Song said lightly: "I can make a deal with you." ”
"Deal?"
A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Lu Sigong's mouth, "You might as well tell me, I will hear if there is a need for a transaction?" ”
Guo Song said slowly: "I found a wooden box under the desk in your study......."
As soon as Guo Song said this, Lu Sigong suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly changed.
Guo Song observed his words and sneered: "It seems that you should have thought of it, that's right, I got the letter from Tian Bingsi to you, and it was on me, I don't know what this letter means to you and your family when it is handed over to the Son of Heaven?" ”
Lu Sigong's face was like ashes, he actually forgot Tian Bingsi's letter, of course, even if he didn't forget it, he carried it with him, and now it is in the hands of Guo Song.
But Lu Sigong knew in his heart what these letters meant to him when they fell to the Son of Heaven? That's a raid on the family!
For a moment, his whole spirit withered, and his lips trembled, "You..... What's your deal? ”
"The army assembled ashore, handed over the fleet to me, and I burned Tian Bingsi's letter."
Lu Sigong was silent, and Guo Song said coldly: "You know very well in your heart that your current crime is at most to sit on stolen goods, with you pacifying Brother Shuhuang and keeping the merits of Lingnan, you may be able to offset the merits, save your life, and live your old age in peace, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the Son of Heaven does not allow you and forces you to commit suicide, but your family should be fine, but if Tian Bingsi falls into the hands of the Son of Heaven, you are not only sitting on stolen goods, but also the crime of plotting to rebel, not only will you die, but your children and grandchildren will not survive, and you will be beheaded all over the house, you should know this very well in your heart." ”
After a long time, Lu Sigong said in a hoarse voice: "Why should I believe you." ”
"You don't have a choice, you have to believe if you don't believe it, believe me, at least you still have a glimmer of hope."
After speaking, Guo Song turned around and shot an arrow, a soldier on the window of the boat was hit by an arrow, screamed and fell off the boat, Guo Song pulled out the black sword, rushed out, like chopping melons and vegetables, more than a dozen soldiers who tried to rush into the cabin were killed, Guo Song refused to guard the hatch, opened the bow and released arrows, shot seven or eight people in a row, and the soldiers fled back to both sides in fright.
At this time, Guo Song's scabbed wound on the back shoulder showed signs of bursting, and he had to stop and shouted: "If you dare to make a small move, don't blame me for accidentally injuring your handsome!" ”
Lu Sigong finally accepted the reality, and he sighed: "Okay! I promised you a deal, what should I do? ”
"Inform your fleet to anchor at Puyang Wharf and the army to assemble and go ashore."
"And then? When will you give me those three letters? Lu Sigong asked.
"As soon as the army is assembled ashore and the ships are restarted, I will burn the letters."
"But then, the ship and I are already under the control of your men, and you will burn the letter?" Lu Sigong looked at Guo Song in disbelief.
Guo Song said coldly: "Actually, you have no choice, I can leave now, I have already got the letter anyway, what should you do with the thirty ships?" No matter where you go, it's a dead end, Tian Chengsi and Li Zheng will not allow you in the first place, and your family in the capital will not survive, I just said, choose to believe that I am your only way out, if you are not old and confused, you should understand that I am telling the truth. ”
When Chun Tao heard that Guo Song was leaving, her little face turned pale with fright, Guo Song looked at her and smiled slightly, she understood what Guo Song meant, and then breathed a sigh of relief, this Guo Gongzi did not throw himself away.
At this time, Lu Sigong let out a long sigh, "It seems that I have no choice but to believe you." ”
Guo Song also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "This is Lu Shuai's wise move. ”
Guo Song escorted Lu Sigong to the door, and Lu Sigong shouted loudly: "Chen Duwei, please come over, Ben Shuai has something to say." ”
After a while, the leader of the army, Captain Chen Ke, walked quickly into the outer cabin and asked, "How is the big handsome?" ”
Lu Sigong said: "I reached a compromise with the other party, and the fleet docked in Puyang County. ”
"Dashuai, who is he?"
Commander Chen Ke glanced at Guo Song with trepidation, he had never seen such a strong opponent, and with the power of one person, he could kill eighteen guards with high martial arts, kill dozens of soldiers, and control the entire situation.
"He is an envoy sent by the Son of Heaven, listen to his orders!"
Chen Ke was so frightened that he turned out to be the envoy of the Son of Heaven, at this time Guo Song took out the gold medal and showed it to him, "Do you know it?" ”
The gold medal was written with the words 'If you see me', although Chen Ke was loyal to Lu Sigong, he also didn't want to confront the Son of Heaven.
He nodded silently, "Obey the order!" ”
Chen Ke went out, the fleet played a light sound, and the fleet docked at the next south wharf, and the next south wharf of the Yellow River was Puyang Wharf.
The fleet picked up speed and sailed in formation towards the Puyang wharf, which was two hundred miles away.
