Emperor Ming Fengyunlu

Volume 2 Rampant Qilu

Chapter 7 The Raptors Cross the River and Fight Strong

Section 1 King of the Valley

Outside Shanxian County, on the bank of an unnamed small river.

Gu Xinghai sat alone on the bank of this small river, holding a bamboo pole in his hand, leisurely fishing for fish, and wearing a set of plain shorts, highlighting the muscle outline of his body, and he couldn't tell that Gu Xinghai was a person who was nearly fifty years old.

After a while, the bamboo pole in Gu Xinghai's hand suddenly moved, obviously a fish had been hooked, but Gu Xinghai didn't pay attention to it, just frowning and thinking about something.

At this time, a team of riders galloped from a distance, and after approaching, a man dismounted and walked to Gu Xinghai's side, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, and then said: "Father, the scout horse sent out by the child has returned, and it is reported that the Hanwei camp has left Yuncheng County a few days ago and is heading towards our Shanxian County. ”

After hearing this, Gu Xinghai raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "How many of them are there?" Where are you so far? ”

"There are about 4,000 people, who have already passed the giant field, and it is estimated that they have now rushed to the area of Gaoping Mountain."

Gu Xinghai paused, and then asked, "Long'er, what's going on over there in Ren Chengwei?" ”

This man is Gu Xinghai's eldest son Gu Long, Gu Xinghai has a total of three sons, the eldest son Gu Long, the second son Gu Hu, and the third son Gu Leopard, all of whom are excellent martial arts and scheming people.

I saw Gu Long say contemptuously: "Back to my father's words, since Zhang Yuxing returned to Yanzhou Mansion, he has been hiding in the city and never came out, and he has not seen any movement of soldiers and horses in the guards in Yanzhou Mansion, which shows that he Zhang Yuxing is preparing to watch the play on the side." ”

"Humph! Don't underestimate that Zhang Yuxing, the person who can be the commander of the guard will not be an idle person, and he must not take that Zhang Yuxing lightly. It's okay that we have nothing to do, once our Gu family has something to lose, he Zhang Yuxing will be the first to come and urge him! Gu Xinghai reprimanded, and then said: "Send someone to keep an eye on Zhang Yuxing again, and report as soon as there is any movement over there." ”

Gu Long said yes again and again, and then said: "Father, now that Xu Hongru is dead, and the Smelling Fragrance Sect is completely finished, what are we going to do next?" ”

Gu Xinghai put down the bamboo pole in his hand, got up and moved, and said: "A Xu Hongru is dead and dead, he is a character who has nothing to do with the overall situation, but it's a pity that Wenxiang teaches this chess piece." In my early years, I supported the Wenxiang Sect because I wanted to set up a barrier between us and the government, so that the Wenxiang Sect could attract the attention of the government, and our Gu family could take the opportunity to develop its power. And over the years, our Gu family has indeed been smooth sailing, which has laid this sky-high family business. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Xinghai looked proud. But then, Gu Xinghai's face became a little ugly.

"However, I don't know what kind of madness Xu Hongru had, he actually wanted to make trouble, and he also provoked the Hanwei camp from Liaodong, which was a ruthless character who had fought with Jiannu Tartars! He Xu Hongru has been the sect leader for several years, and he has not forgotten how many catties and taels he has, and he doesn't even know his identity! Doesn't he know that the Smelling Fragrance Sect is a dog raised by our Gu family! Now that the Smelling Fragrance Sect has been destroyed, a layer of skin between us and the government has been torn apart, and in the next step, the Hanwei Camp will definitely come to the door! ”

The more Gu Xinghai spoke, the more angry he became, and he kicked the trunk of an arm-thick tree next to him, and the tree suddenly broke off at the waist.

Gu Long was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly said: "Father is angry, he can't be angry for a fool like Xu Hongru." It's just that the Hanwei battalion is about to come to Shan County in the near future, do we have to make some preparations in advance? ”

Gu Xinghai pondered for a while and said, "Let's go, let's go back first." Gather all of you, and I've got something to set up. ”

"The child obeys."

Half an hour later, five miles south of Shanxian County, Gujiazhuang.

After Gu Xinghai came back, he entered the study alone, and it was not until Gu Long summoned the second brother Gu Hu, the third brother Gu Leopard, the housekeeper Gu Qian, and the martial artist Li Zhenhai that Gu Xinghai came out of the study and came to the main hall.

After everyone saw Gu Xinghai, they all got up and knelt down, Gu Xinghai didn't raise his eyelids, but said lightly: "Get up, you all know about the Smelling Fragrance Sect, now that Hanwei camp is rushing towards our Shanxian County." It is estimated that Zhang Yuxing sold our situation to Hanwei Ying, and it seems that the good days of our Gu family's peace of mind to develop forces are over. ”

As soon as the words fell, Gu Long said loudly: "Father, now the power of our Gu family is not trivial, if the Han Wei Battalion wants to come to embarrass us, let them come, our three brothers and Master Li will definitely be able to kill them and come back!" ”

"Confused!" Gu Xinghai scolded and said, "Let's not talk about whether we can successfully repel the Hanwei battalion, you must know that its troops are border troops who can fight well, not rotten guards; Let's just say we've repelled it, so what? At that time, our Gu family's action against the imperial court will become a fact, and our Gu family will become the target of everyone, and we can only expose it! However, can our forces really compete with the imperial court now? ”

Everyone was silent when they heard this, after all, the prestige of the Ming Dynasty was still very strong in everyone's hearts.

However, Gu Long was still unwilling, and said: "Father, do you mean that we will let the Hanwei battalion go to Shanxian and make no preparations?" ”

"How is that possible? I, Gu Xinghai, am not a person to be slaughtered! Gu Xinghai glanced at everyone, and then said: "I have already thought of countermeasures for this matter, as long as we all work together, we will definitely be able to get through this difficulty." ”

Everyone responded loudly, and everyone was impassioned, with a posture of living and dying together.

Gu Xinghai was very satisfied when he saw this, and then said: "Everyone listens to the order: Gu Long commands two thousand horses, and today he will leave Gujiazhuang to wander north of Shanxian County, and listen to my orders to attack at any time; Gu Hu led a thousand families to garrison the eight farms and the blacksmith shop in the north of the city, and must guard the foundation of our Gu family; Gu Bao immediately set off for a while, went to the bank of the Yellow River, rectified the three ferries of Huangqikou, Lijikou, and Zhuwangkou, and guarded the retreat of our Gu family; Master Li! ”

Martial artist Li Zhenhai replied loudly: "The villain is here!" ”

Gu Xinghai stood up and said solemnly: "Master Li, I will hand over all the remaining four thousand families to you, and I will immediately lead my troops to camp in the north of Shanxian County." If Hanwei Ying has any scruples and doesn't want to fight with us, then I will send some money and food to the unicorn tiger as a travel fee, and it should be a good fate; However, if the Hanwei camp wants to beat the rabbit with grass and wants to destroy our Gu family together, then Master Li will beat me to death! Let's fight with the Hanwei Battalion! ”

Li Zhenhai said loudly: "Please rest assured, the villain must live up to his mission, if the Hanwei camp really wants to break ground on Tai Sui's head, then the villain will definitely let them not eat and walk around!" ”

The rest of the people also loudly expressed their loyalty.

Gu Xinghai was very satisfied in his heart, and said to the housekeeper Gu Qian with a smile: "Steward Gu, immediately allocate grain and grass, so that everyone can eat and drink well, and wait for the Hanwei camp when they have enough spirits!" ”

At the same time, Shanxian County Ya.

Zheng Bin, the county magistrate, was walking anxiously in the room, his heart was full of fear, but there was a glimmer of hope. Suddenly, there was a quick knock on the door, Zheng Bin hurriedly opened the door and pulled someone in, and then after making sure that no one was eavesdropping outside, he closed the door and locked it.

After that, Zheng Bin whispered to the visitor, "How is it?" Have you figured it all out? ”

The man also said softly: "Don't worry, my lord, Steward Gu has already figured out the situation, but Steward Gu asked me to ask my lord again: What the adult promised Steward Gu before, is it still counted now?" ”

"Of course I counted!" Zheng Bin said, but then realized that his voice was a little loud, so he looked around weakly, and then said: "You go back and tell Steward Gu, my dignified county master is naturally a spitting and a nail!" As long as the information provided by Steward Gu is true, I will guarantee that he will be fine! ”

"Good! The villain went back and told the Gu steward. After speaking, the man took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Zheng Bin, saying, "This is the letter that Steward Gu asked me to hand over to the adult." ”

"Okay, you just tell Steward Gu to rest assured." Zheng Bin was overjoyed to receive the letter.

"The villain is leaving."

"Good. Oh yes, and remember to walk through the back door! ”

After the man left, Zheng Bin hurriedly opened the letter and read it, and after reading it, Zheng Bin sneered: "Now that the elite of the imperial court is coming towards Shanxian County, I want to see how long you can be rampant as a Gu King!" ”

Subsequently, Zheng Bin found a confidant and ordered in a low voice: "You immediately take this letter out of the city, and wait for an official army with the battalion name Hanwei Camp on the official road in the north of the city, and hand over this letter to the Hanwei Battalion Commander, remember!" Be sure to hand it over to him yourself! ”

"Don't worry, the villain will definitely handle this matter." The confidant patted his chest and said.

Zheng Bin sent him away, but his heart was still unsteady.

Outside the room, a figure flashed by, and in the blink of an eye, it flashed out and disappeared.

On this day, Liu Yunwei had already led nearly 4,000 soldiers of the Hanwei battalion to cross Gaoping Mountain, cross the Heshui River, and was rushing towards Shanxian non-stop.

At this time, on the land of Qilu, the dark clouds of the Smelling Fragrance Sect had just dispersed, and the dark clouds of the Gu family were shrouded again, and a fierce confrontation was about to begin! The two sides of the confrontation are the Raptors crossing the river on one side, and the Qilu Tigers on the other side. Let's see next time!
