Chapter 145: Strong Negotiations
Lingshan is located in the north of Kaifeng County twenty miles, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the valley is deep and secluded, full of towering trees, before the Song and Yuan dynasties, there are many such hills in the north of Kaifeng County, but with the repeated diversion of the Yellow River, these hills have disappeared to this day.
The sky is getting brighter, and there is a group of warriors standing in the Baigou Pavilion located halfway up the Lingshan Mountain, and the person at the head is the eunuch Yang Wanhua.
Yang Wanhua failed to capture Guo Song twice, and has gradually lost Yu Chaoen's trust in him, this is his last chance, he led nearly a hundred warriors to Bianzhou and Songzhou, mainly to assist Tian Shenyu in seizing tax ships, inquiring about news, and ventilating news.
They leaked the bottom line of the imperial court to Tian Shenyu, and the imperial court would only exert pressure and did not dare to use force against the Biansong Dynasty easily, and it was their reckless behavior that made Tian Shenyu always ignore all kinds of pressure from the imperial court.
According to Yu Chaoen's plan, as long as Tian Shenyu seized the tax ship for a long time, it would eventually lead to Liu Yan being removed from office, so that they could regain control of the Jianghuai salt tax.
But a series of events that happened last night completely turned the situation around, especially the violent death of Tian Shenyu, Li Lingyao's 30,000 troops took control of Bianzhou, making their plan a complete failure, and just when Yang Wanhua was desperate, his men who were ambushing on the outskirts of Kaifeng City captured Sun Xiaozhen, whom they had been arresting.
This made Yang Wanhua see another glimmer of hope in despair.
"What did Sun Xiaozhen say?" Yang Wanhua asked coldly.
The two leaders standing beside him were Zheng Xiaotian, the owner of the Tiger Ben Martial Arts Pavilion, and Li Jiangzuo, the owner of the Qunying Sword Pavilion, and the more than 100 warriors who were dispatched this time were all from the Tiger Ben Martial Arts Pavilion and the Qunying Sword Pavilion.
Zheng Xiaotian hugged his fists and said: "Qiyu Father-in-law, it is still the same as yesterday, the surname Guo is the worship of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, and he often goes to the Sun Restaurant in Pingkangfang to eat, and met Sun Xiaozhen." ”
"What else?"
"There is also the fact that the surname Guo may be between thirty and forty years old, but he looks relatively young."
"That's pretty much it, huh! The Tibetan Sword Pavilion in his twenties is enshrined, how can I believe it? ”
Next to him, Li Jiangzuo added: "Another thing is that Guo may be a fake surname, and that person is not actually surnamed Guo." ”
Yang Wanhua shook her head, "It doesn't matter what the surname is, the key is that we have to catch him, Father Weng regards him as more important than the salt tax, do you understand what I mean?" ”
The two bowed together, "Humble duty understands!" ”
"Go ahead! All the sources are monitored, and as soon as there is news, notify me. ”
The two leaders saluted, turned and hurried away.......
In a private house about ten miles away from Lingshan, Guo Song put on a mask, his eyebrows, eyes and nose were completely changed, and he put a mask strip on his jaw, so that his face shape became a square face, and evenly applied the potion, Guo Song became a square-faced man with a yellow face, slender eyes, thick eyebrows and flat nose, and his age also became more than thirty years old, and he had a small jade ball in his mouth, so that his voice would change slightly.
After the makeover, Guo Song put on a slightly rough full-face mask and cleaned everything up, then he turned over and got on his horse and urged the horse to slowly go to the main road of Lingshan.
Guo Song asked for the road before, Baigou Pavilion is easy to find, walk along the main road up the mountain, walk halfway up the mountain, you will see the Baigou Pavilion on the side of the road, the pavilion is carved with white granite, the other side of the mountain road is a cliff, and below is the surging Baigou water.
At this time, there was still a quarter of an hour before noon, Guo Song saw a white pavilion from a distance, the pavilion was very large, there were more than 20 people standing in it, Guo Song saw Sun Xiaozhen at a glance, his hands were tied behind his back, his mouth was also blocked by rags, and a big man pulled his hair fiercely.
"Guo worship, we have admired the name for a long time."
Yang Huawan's voice was very high-pitched, and his laughter was full of pride.
"Grandpa Playboy, I'm already here, just let him go!" Guo Song said in a loud voice.
"It's okay to let him go, first of all, ask Guo Xianfeng to take off the mask and show people with a false face, this is not sincere."
Guo Song took off the mask on his face, revealing a yellow face with thick and thick eyebrows, slender eyes, a wide and flat nose, and a long square face, which looked very powerful.
"Guo Xianfeng is really a talent!"
The small mask of the Hidden Sword Pavilion was too exquisite, and everyone didn't see that Guo Song actually had a mask, which was actually a misunderstanding of thinking, and everyone didn't expect that there was a mask under his mask.
"Let the people go!"
Yang Huawan smiled slightly, "As long as Guo Xianfeng throws away his sword and throws his bow and arrows aside, and he steps forward below, I promise to let him go." ”
Guo Song snorted heavily, and said loudly to Sun Xiaozhen: "Sun Shaolang, if they catch me, you will have no use value, and you will definitely die at that time!" ”
Sun Xiaozhen was speechless, and he didn't know if the person opposite was Guo Song, except that the figure was similar, but the others were completely different, the voice was wrong, and the appearance was not right.
But he knew that the other party was right, only if they couldn't catch Guo Song, he would have a glimmer of hope for survival, and if Guo Song was caught, he would lose his value.
He nodded with difficulty, and the big man behind him jerked his hair upward, and Sun Xiaozhen's face showed a look of pain.
Yang Wanhua was furious, drew her sword against Sun Xiaozhen's throat, and shouted angrily: "The surname Guo, do you think I don't dare to kill him?" ”
Guo Song said coldly: "Even if you kill him, then we will kill you one by one, including Yu Chaoen, and bury him all with him, if you don't believe it, try killing him!" ”
After speaking, Guo Song turned the horse's head and galloped away, running for about thirty steps, he suddenly turned around and shot an arrow, several warriors had already taken precautions, and immediately raised their shields to protect Yang Wanhua, but this arrow was not aimed at Yang Wanhua.
'Poof! With a bang, the big man behind Sun Xiaozhen was shot through the center of his eyebrows by an arrow, and the big man screamed miserably and fell to the ground on his back and died.
Yang Wanhua was furious and shouted: "Kill him for me!" ”
The warriors who were ambushed on the mountain raised their crossbows and shot at the same time, dozens of crossbow arrows were shot at Guo Song, and at the same time, a large net fell from the top of his head, and more than a dozen triphorse ropes appeared on the ground.
At the same time as the crossbow arrow was fired, Guo Song had already jumped out of the saddle, landed a zhang away, rolled on his side on the spot, and jumped again, and the man jumped off the high cliff.
The war horse was shot with dozens of arrows, neighed, fell to the ground and died, and the big net fell, covering the war horse, but Guo Song was nowhere to be seen.
Hundreds of warriors rushed from all directions, and they all looked down at the cliff, which was more than 20 zhang deep, and the cliff was covered with vines, and there was only river water below, but people could not see it.
"Did he fall overboard?" Yang Wanhua strode forward and looked down.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he probed out, an arrow 'whoosh!' The ground shot from below, Yang Wanhua couldn't dodge, the arrow actually shot through his forehead, Yang Wanhua screamed miserably, and fell off the cliff.
The other samurai were so frightened that they hurriedly retracted and crouched on the ground.
I saw someone on the cliff laughing, "You let people go, I won't pursue you, otherwise none of you will survive Chang'an." ”
Zheng Xiaotian, the owner of the Tiger Ben Martial Arts Pavilion, was furious, "This person is extremely arrogant, if I don't kill him, I, Zheng Xiaotian, will not return to Chang'an!" ”
"Then I will fulfill you!"
A dark shadow rose from the edge of the cliff, and a black shadow flashed, 'Click! With the sound of bones breaking, Zheng Xiaotian was cut off by a sword, and his head rolled out.
Guo Song turned around and rushed into the crowd, slashing left and right, chopping five or six people in a row, and the rest of the warriors were so frightened that they stumbled and fled.
"Stop!"
Li Jiangzuo grabbed Sun Xiaozhen and put a sword on his neck, "If you mess around again, I will kill him with a sword." ”
Guo Song stared at him coldly, "Even if you kill him, if he dies, not only everyone today, but also your wife and children, your father and mother, your brothers and sisters, none of them will survive, since I said it, then I will do what I say!" ”
After speaking, he shook it, and a cold light flew out, and more than twenty steps away, a samurai screamed miserably, fell on his back, and a flying knife was stuck in his forehead.
Guo Song jumped off the cliff again, and there were only seven or eight corpses left on the edge of the cliff.
Yang Wanhua's dead fish-like eyes stared at the sky empty, Zheng Xiaotian's headless corpse was still bleeding from his neck, and he stared at the head a few feet away, not blinking.
A gust of autumn wind blew, and all the samurai shivered, how could they provoke such a fierce god?
.........
This time, Guo Song was really gone, and all the warriors gathered around Li Jiangzuo, looking at him with a pair of eyes.
Li Jiangzuo is known as the king of Zuo Tian, he has no idea, Yang Wanhua is dead, he can't catch the other party at all, how can he explain to Yu Chaoen when he goes back?
Li Jiangzuo glanced at Sun Xiaozhen next to him again, which was originally the best bait, but now it has become a hot taro, let him go, Yu Chaoen knows that he will never spare himself, but if he doesn't let him go, the fierce god will always follow them.
Li Jiangzuo's head was extremely big for a while.
After a while, he sighed and said, "Go find a carriage, lock him in the carriage, and we'll take him back to Chang'an on a business trip!" ”
