At noon the next day, 30 large ships slowly docked at the Yellow River wharf in Puyang County, 1,000 Lingnan soldiers got off the ship and assembled, there were already tens of thousands of troops waiting on the wharf, the commander was Xin Jinggao, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, he also came to Puyang to take over the ships and the Lingnan army by the will of the Son of Heaven.

Aunt Gongsun with more than 200 warriors of the Tibetan Sword Pavilion also rushed to Puyang overnight, Aunt Gongsun looked at the fleet slowly approaching, sighed in her heart, and said to Xin Jinggao next to her: "General, this is the most trusted person of the Son of Heaven, my nephew, he controls thirty big ships with his ability alone. ”

Xin Yungao said with a smile: "I've heard of him, he dares to confront Yuan Zai, he is indeed a young man with courage, he should have controlled Lu Sigong, but it's not easy!" ”

At this time, a general ran up and knelt down on one knee to report: "General Qiqi, the opposing army has been assembled." ”

"Take them to the barracks, appease them, and say that the imperial court will send them back to Lingnan as soon as possible."

"Obey!"

The general turned around and turned over his horse and galloped away, and after a while, 10,000 Tang soldiers divided into two routes, 5,000 people led 1,000 Lingnan naval troops to Puyang City, and another 5,000 soldiers began to board the ship and took over thirty large ships.

Xin Yungao smiled and said, "Chief Gongsun, let's get on the boat too!" ”

With a wave of her hand, her men ran towards the first main ship.

At this time, on the side of the ship on the second floor of the main ship, Lu Sigong looked at his army in despair as he looked away, and he turned back to Guo Song and said, "I have fulfilled my promise, it's your turn now!" ”

Guo Song smiled faintly, "Lu Dashuai really believes me?" ”

"I don't believe you, but I don't have a choice."

Guo Song took out three letters and handed them to Lu Sigong, Lu Sigong took it and read it carefully, it was the letter written by Tian Bingsi to him, it was the original, it was not dropped, he trembled his hands and 'brushed!' Brush! Tearing it to pieces, he walked to the window of the boat and threw it out, watching the pieces of paper fall into the Yellow River one after another, and a boulder in Lu Sigong's heart finally fell.

Guo Song smiled at Chun Tao and said, "Let him rest for a while, let's go!" ”

Guo Song left the cabin with Chun Tao and locked the door, and Chun Tao asked in a low voice, "Why did Childe return the letter to him?" ”

Guo Song shook his head and said: "You have to leave three points of leeway in doing things, Lu Sigong's influence in the military is also very large, if Lu Sigong is beheaded all over the house because of my rebellion, I don't know how many people will hate me to the bone, and it will be difficult for me to gain a foothold in Datang." ”

Chun Tao also whispered: "Childe did the right thing, it's not a pity for him to die alone, but it would be pitiful if the family was affected, especially Madame was very good to me, I don't want her to be killed because of this, thank you Childe for keeping his promise!" ”

After speaking, Chun Tao gave Guo Song a blessing gift.

Guo Song smiled: "What will you do after this matter is over?" ”

Chun Tao said in a low voice: "I don't know, our fate has never been decided by ourselves, and the Hidden Sword Pavilion will arrange it." ”

Guo Song glanced at her and didn't say anything more, at this time, a group of soldiers rushed over, hugged their fists for the first lieutenant and said, "May I ask Guo Changshi?" ”

Guo Song nodded, "I am!" ”

"We are General Xin's subordinates, and we were ordered to take over Lu Sigong, where is he now?"

"He's in the cabin, just send someone to guard this door and the window behind it, and put him under house arrest!"

The first lieutenant pushed the door and looked at it, and saw Lu Sigong sitting on the bed, and he immediately ordered the soldiers: "Put iron bars on the windows inside!" ”

The soldiers had already prepared, and immediately entered the cabin to install iron bars on the windows, and Lu Sigong's dormitory became a prison cell, at this time, Guo Song saw Gongsun Auntie and a golden helmet veteran coming with a large group of people, so he turned and left.

Chun Tao hurriedly stepped forward to salute Aunt Gongsun, "Little Fish Niang see Auntie!" ”

Aunt Gongsun touched her head and smiled: "I haven't seen you for a few years, I can still recognize it, I've worked hard for you in the past few years." ”

"This is the duty of the little fish girl!"

Aunt Gongsun nodded, but found that Guo Song was missing, so she asked, "Where is Guo Gongzi?" ”

"He was with me just now, I don't know where he is now?"

"Forget it, I'll look for him later."

Aunt Gongsun said to Xin Yungao: "The general go and see Lu Sigong!" Read the will of the Son of Heaven. ”

Xin Yunjing took out the will and walked in quickly.

At this time, Guo Song met Liang Wu and a group of subordinates on the shore, and when he saw his brother, Guo Song was in a good mood, and said to everyone with a smile: "Why are you downcast?" ”

Liang Wu smiled bitterly and said: "We are gearing up and preparing to do a big job, but we find that there is no place for us at all!" ”

"It's all Brother Tang Jun, what is there to fight and kill? Go out and relax, and we will go back later." ”

"Good! We waited on the shore for a long time. ”

At this time, a warrior from the Hidden Sword Pavilion hurriedly ran over, hugged his fist to Guo Song and said, "Auntie has invited Guo Gongzi!" ”

Guo Song nodded, instructed Liang Wu and them a few more words, and then got on the boat.

At this time, the soldiers on board were counting their belongings, and as soon as the inventory was complete, the fleet would immediately set sail west.

In the large cabin on the first floor, Guo Song and Gongsun Auntie sat opposite each other, Guo Song put a wooden box on the table and pushed it to Gongsun Auntie, this is the wooden box that Guo Song took out from the study, he said to Gongsun Aunt: "Including Yuan Zai, Wang Jin and Yang Yan's letters are in the wooden box, as well as other official letters." ”

Aunt Gongsun opened the wooden box and looked at the letter, closed the lid again, and said, "I heard that you are injured?" ”

Guo Song smiled faintly: "A little flesh injury, it's not a big problem, it's good in ten days at most." ”

Aunt Gongsun sighed softly and said, "This time I brought three hundred Tibetan Sword Pavilion warriors over, but they didn't work, thanks to you." ”

"No, your information is very accurate, and thanks to Chun Tao, I'm just doing my best."

"What reward do you want for your great deeds?"

Guo Song shook his head, "I never think this is any credit, my credit is in Anxi, that is the credit I should remember, frankly, I don't want to do this kind of thing in the future." ”

"It's a bit of a waste of your talent to let you do these things, I'll tell the Son of Heaven, but you still have to take the credit for it, you don't have to be humble."

Guo Song thought for a while and said, "If my aunt must give me credit, I will make a request, hoping that my aunt will agree." ”

Seeing that he was very stubborn, Aunt Gongsun had to say helplessly: "Okay! What requirements, you say? ”

"Completely free Spring Peach!"

Aunt Gongsun was stunned, "You mean Little Fish Niang?" ”

Guo Song nodded, "It's her, she helped me a lot this time, I hope she can live freely in the future." ”

"But she has been an orphan since she was a child, and the Hidden Sword Tower is her home, where do you let her go?"

"I don't care about this, but I'm not allowed to give her any more tasks and let her do what she wants."

Aunt Gongsun laughed, she glanced at Guo Song meaningfully, and said with a slight smile: "It's rare that you care so much about a little girl, okay!" I promise you. ”

Guo Song stood up and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave." ”

"You..... You're not going with us? ”

"I'll go with my men, they're still waiting for me on the shore, maybe we'll get to the capital first."

"Well, it's up to you."

Guo Song saluted Aunt Gongsun and turned to leave.

Aunt Gongsun looked at his back and instructed left and right: "Go and find me the little fish girl!" ”

.......

Guo Song left the Yellow River docks with dozens of his men and headed for Puyang County, where they needed to buy some items on the road before setting off for Chang'an.

Puyang County is about ten miles away from the Yellow River wharf, Puyang is actually a small county, it is not the state of Puzhou, Puzhou is Juancheng County, but Juancheng County is far away from the Yellow River, making Puyang County one of the largest wharves of the Yellow River, and also making Puyang County a famous commercial material distribution center in the Central Plains.

There is a straight official road from the wharf to the county seat, and there are many pedestrians coming and going, and everyone is not good at galloping horses, so they can only slow down their horses and walk slowly.

At this time, Guo Song suddenly heard shouting from behind: "Guo Gongzi! ”

It seemed to be a little lady's voice, everyone turned around, only to see a petite little lady riding a slightly smaller rouge horse running towards this side, she kept waving her hand and shouting: "Guo Gongzi wait!" ”

Guo Song was stunned, isn't this voice a little fish girl? How did she get here?

Guo Song turned his horse's head to meet him, and after a while, Xiao Yuniang caught up with him, and she panted and said, "Why didn't Guo Gongzi wait for me, I almost couldn't find you." ”

Guo Song was a little confused, "What are you looking for us for?" ”

Xiao Yuniang lowered her head a little shyly and said, "Didn't the son propose it to the eldest lady and let me serve the son in the future?" ”
