Chapter 471: Tragic Revenge
Guo Song met Yang Yu's wife Zhao Xuan in a private house in the west of the city, Zhao Xuan had already learned the news of her husband's death, cried bitterly for a few days, and almost miscarried, if it weren't for the desire to save the fetus in her womb, she would have collapsed.
But Zhao Xuan's spirit was very bad, she looked haggard, bowed her head and said nothing.
Guo Song finished reading a letter left by Yang Yu to himself, asking himself to take care of his wife and children, this is Yang Yu realized that he was going to have an accident, and wrote it in advance and handed it to his wife.
Guo Song remembered the situation when he was with the fourth senior brother when he was a teenager, and remembered the various love that the fourth senior brother had for him, and his heart felt sour.
He restrained the sadness in his heart and said to Zhao Xuan: "For the sake of the child, the fourth sister-in-law must take care of her body, this is the only bloodline of the senior brother, and we have the responsibility to protect him." ”
Zhao Xuan nodded, "Thank you uncle for your advice, I will definitely protect the child." ”
Guo Song said again: "After a while, Xiaoyu Niang will take you to Ganzhou, you will be my family in the future, and I will take care of you and the child." ”
Zhao Xuan was very grateful and wanted to kneel down for Guo Song, Xiao Yuniang hurriedly supported her, "Sister Xuan, the son doesn't like to kneel, the key is to protect the child well." ”
Zhao Xuan hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Guo Song comforted her a few more words, and then came out, he felt that the conditions here were not too good, so he simply asked his soldiers to rent a single courtyard in Xianyang County, and bought two maids, so that Zhao Xuan could live more comfortably.
In fact, there is no need to be too nervous, no one on the other side has seen Zhao Xuan, plus last night's battle, I believe that Li Man will be much more restrained.
Guo Song has been in Chang'an for eight or nine days, Guo Ziyi's first seven days have ended, if there is nothing to do in the court in these two days, he will go back to Ganzhou, but before returning to Ganzhou, he still has a good account with Li Man.
Guo Song called Xiao Yuniang aside and asked her, "Can you find a way to get a residence for the main members of the Hidden Sword Pavilion?" ”
Xiao Yu Niang thought for a while and said, "It seems that I also know a little bit about it, but I need to confirm it, and I can get clear news in the afternoon." ”
..........
At night, Li Man appeared in the Yuan Mansion again, she was still a little younger, far less scheming than Yuan Xuanhu.
After listening to her account, Yuan Xuanhu nodded and said: "He is indeed vigilant, and most importantly, if you can't let the Son of Heaven find out about our plan, you will immediately stop all actions tomorrow, and it will not be too late for his family and friends to wait for him to be killed." ”
"Then is it possible for him to continue to take revenge on the Hidden Sword Pavilion?"
"There will be, but you have to remember my words, no matter what retaliation he takes, you must bear with it, and I will deal with him next."
Li Man lowered his head and said, "If he goes too far, I'm afraid I can't help it." ”
"If you can't help it, you have to endure it, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, he already has some doubts about you, he will definitely stimulate you and force you to reveal your true purpose, if you can't help it, and finally alarm the Son of Heaven, we will give up all our efforts, understand?"
Li Man bit his lip and nodded silently.
Yuan Xuanhu smiled slightly: "Don't worry! The Son of Heaven has decided to abandon the Western Regions, and the moment when Guo Song will fall out of favor is coming, and the day when we succeed is not far away. ”
Li Man gritted his teeth and said slowly: "When that day comes, I must dig out his heart with my own hands and sacrifice to my father!" ”
.........
At the same time when Li Man asked Yuan Xuanmiao for advice, Guo Song led a hundred personal soldiers to appear outside the Juying Villa in the east of the city, which was the deer hunting villa of Yu Chaoen in the past, and now belongs to the Zangjian Pavilion, where many of Li Man's backbone subordinates lived.
The villa covers a large area, but there is a building complex in the southwest corner, covering an area of about 30 acres, which is carved and painted, beautifully furnished, very luxurious, surrounded by a two-zhang high wall, and is also full of sharp barbs, without extremely strong martial arts, you can't enter at all.
There are more than 100 helmsmen and hall masters of the Hidden Sword Pavilion living here, basically they are all henchmen promoted by Li Man after taking power, they are outlaws recruited from all over the world, all of them are strong in martial arts, unruly, and it is more dangerous to live in the city, so Li Man arranged them to live outside the city.
Ordinary samurai could only rent private houses, and did not enjoy the treatment of living in such luxurious mountain villas.
Guo Song instructed all the soldiers to say a few words, and ran towards the high wall, looking at the back of the envoy running away, everyone's hearts were raised to their throats, but there was no way, they were all killing soldiers on the battlefield, such a high wall, no one could climb up.
But for Guo Song, this wall was not a problem, he climbed over the high wall very lightly, fell into the courtyard, and rushed towards the complex.
Guo Song couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, Li Man killed his senior brother and burned the Golden Body Pavilion, how could he just forget it?
Although he will not be so reckless and burn down the Taiji Palace, it doesn't mean that he has to endure this breath, Juying Villa is the best target for him to start, on the other hand, he also wants to force Li Man to go crazy and see what she wants to do to herself?
It is now the third watch, everyone is sleeping sweetly, Guo Song lit a fire on all sides of the complex, used fire oil, the fire burned rapidly, the wind was very strong at night, the fire borrowed the wind, the whole building complex began to burn rapidly, Guo Song immediately disappeared into the night.
The warriors of the Hidden Sword Pavilion who lived in the complex were awakened by the flames and smoke, and they scrambled to flee.
At this time, a hundred pro-soldiers held bows and arrows in their hands, and placed a three-section bow formation sixty steps away from the gate, and Guo Song had already returned one step ahead, waiting for the other party to escape with bows and arrows in hand.
The gate suddenly opened, dozens of warriors fled in embarrassment, and Guo Song gave an order, "Shoot!" ”
The first round of thirty arrows was the first to shoot, dozens of warriors screamed for the arrows, and then the second row of thirty arrows were shot, just more than thirty warriors poured out, the arrows were like rain, the power was strong, although these warriors were strong in martial arts, but under the strong bows and crossbows on the battlefield, their martial arts could not be on the table.
Three rows of soldiers fired round after round of arrows, and ten soldiers were in charge of shooting the samurai who escaped through the gate.
After five rounds of arrows, dead bodies piled up in front of the gate, and enough eighty or ninety samurai were shot, and the remaining twenty or so people hid by the wall and did not dare to come out.
At this time, the shouts of the people sounded in the distance, and many farmers living nearby came to put out the fire with buckets and basins.
Guo Song saw that it was almost over, and waved his hand, "Withdraw!" ”
The soldiers quickly followed him out of the cottage and disappeared into the night, and in a short time hundreds of peasants ran in front of the complex, only to see the gate littered with corpses, each with feathered arrows, and they were all stunned........
At dawn, when Li Man got the news, she was shocked and angry, and rushed to the Heroes Villa with a large group of warriors.
The peasants who rushed to fight the fire were so frightened by the piles of corpses that no one dared to put out the fire, and the fire burned the thirty acres of buildings to the ground.
Twenty-seven samurai survived, as well as two dozen prostitutes, who could not outrun the samurai and had to hide in the pond to escape the fire.
The prostitutes had fled by daybreak, and the samurai had fled a part, leaving a dozen or so waiting for the lord to come.
Li Man rushed to the Heroes Villa with hundreds of warriors, only to see smoke curling and part of the wall burned down, revealing the blackened ruins inside.
There were countless corpses in the gate, each of them was full of arrows, Li Man was so angry that his eyes turned black for a while, and he almost fainted, Guo Song's revenge was too tragic for her to accept.
At this time, a hall master stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and said with tears in his eyes: "Pavilion master, the other party should be the army, we have been shot and killed a total of ninety-three people, all of whom are the most powerful backbones!" It's just miserable. ”
Ying Caihe next to her was even more frightened, she didn't expect Guo Song's revenge to be so fierce, would he let him go?
"Pavilion Master, do you want to report to the Son of Heaven?" Another henchman said in a low voice.
Li Man bit her lips, she still shook her head, the repeated instructions of the head of the family last night echoed in her ears, 'If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and if you can't bear it, you have to endure it.' ’
"This matter ends here, no investigation, no publicity, they are all dug and buried deeply, if anyone in the court asks, they will say that the mountain fire is caused, who dares to talk about this matter again, no matter what they kill!"
After speaking, she turned around and left the villa, everyone was shocked and didn't dare to say anything, but Ying Caihe knew that in front of the other party's powerful army, Li Man still confessed.
After taking a few steps, Li Man said to Cai He again: "Give up searching for that woman, all actions will stop!" ”
"Obey the order!" Ying Caihe hurriedly bowed down and agreed.
..........
The fire in Juying Villa was deliberately concealed by Li Man, and finally did not attract the attention of the imperial court, nor did it cause rumors in Chang'an, but the Hidden Sword Pavilion suffered heavy losses, because the deceased were basically middle-level helmsmen, the Hidden Sword Pavilion became a plate of loose sand for a long time, and almost all of them were paralyzed, and Li Man had to give up a large number of surveillance tasks and start cultivating new henchmen again.
Early the next morning, Guo Song left Chang'an with his own soldiers and returned to Ganzhou.
