Chapter 91: Gyeongju Riot (3)
When Guo Shouwang heard this, looked at his age, and looked at his bearing, there was no doubt about the rumors, he already believed it in his heart, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Make the king the master for the old man, and the dog is wronged." ”
Baili Wuji got up and helped Guo Shouwang up, and said: "Don't be polite, you already know the ins and outs of the case, you don't have to worry, when you return to the state capital, you will definitely deal with it impartially." ”
After a pause, he continued: "I came here to ask my husband for a favor. ”
Guo Shouwang was surprised: "It doesn't hurt to make Jun Dan say, he doesn't hesitate to go bankrupt." ”
In his heart, he was stunned that he regarded Baili Wuji's trip as coming to extort.
Baili Wuji smiled bitterly and briefly said what happened on the street.
Guo Shouwang will mean this, it turns out that this is the case, and he secretly thinks in his heart, saying that the Qingzhou Economic Strategy is only twenty years old, this little man seems to have an extraordinary bearing, it should be genuine, and the county order Huang Wentong rebelled, and he must be suppressed and punished, and my son is hopeful of rehabilitation. It's just that Huang Wentong has rebelled, and at this time, he took in Baili Wuji, in case something was wrong, the news leaked out, and let the county commander Huang Wentong know that not only the whole family, but the whole clan would be slaughtered.
Guo Shouwang hesitated and said to Baili Wuji: "Baili Envoy, I don't know what does Lu Dao need to do?" ”
Baili Wuji said: "Don't worry about Uncle Guo, I'll wait for you to stay for some time, and when the city gate opens, I'll leave later, and then I will lead the army to sweep away the rebels in Wanxian County, and also give Lang a justice." ”
Guo Shouwang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he would stay for a few days, as long as he didn't implicate my people.
Hurriedly said: "Baili envoy but please live here with peace of mind, the old man asked people to arrange a residence for the envoy." ”
Baili Wuji reminded: "Be sure to keep it secret, if someone in your village leaks the news of us, Huang Yi will lead the army to come, and when the time comes, not only will I be in danger, but even your people will not be protected." ”
Guo Shouwang replied: "Old decay saves." ”
After speaking, Guo Shouwang quit and went to arrange a residence for everyone.
"Da Lang, is this old man reliable?" Bai Liyi was a little worried.
Wuji thought for a while and said: "It should be okay, he sued Huang Wentong and has already torn his face with Huang Wei, if he wants his son Guo Qi to be fine, he will definitely keep me safe." Now the important thing is to find a way to get out of the city and return home to transfer troops. ”
Baili Yi said: "Da Lang, why don't I climb the city wall at night and escape from the city?" ”
"It's not proper, since Huang Shun has rebelled, he will be strictly defended after the city is closed, and there is not much chance of getting out of the city wall." Wuji didn't want Bailiyi to take risks.
At this time, Guo Shouwang came back: "Baili envoy, the residence has been arranged." In addition, according to the servant's report, the four city gates have all been closed, and only entry and exit are allowed. ”
"Is there a way for Uncle Guo to get out of the city? Or send someone to deliver a letter for someone out of town? Baili Wuji asked.
"If you send the envoy out of the city, it is difficult, if you send the old man's family out of the city, you can try, the old man has a nephew who is a guard at the west city gate, you can dredge up with him."
Baili Wuji thought it was too good, and said: "Very good, when a certain letter is written, Mr. Guo will send someone to the state capital and hand it over to the secretary Xu Shiming in person." ”
"The old man must do his best."
Baili Wuji hurriedly wrote a letter and handed it to Guo Shouwang, asking him to send him out of the city as soon as possible.
In Wanxian County, Huang Wentong has already teamed up with He Xianyou and Zhang Zhenqi, the county commanders of Kui and Anxian counties, to post notices and officially start the incident.
Baili Wuji and others could only wait in the village.
The next night, just as Baili Wuji and the others were asleep, they were suddenly woken up by Guo Shouwang.
The old man knelt at the feet of Baili Wuji with a plop, and cried bitterly: "The family is unfortunate, and the old man is ashamed of the envoy, and the crime deserves death." ”
Baili Wuji's heart jumped violently, and he secretly said that it was bad, and asked while helping Guo Shouwang: "Uncle Guo is relieved first, and he will speak slowly." ”
Guo Shouwang refused to get up, kowtowed and said: "Guo Sheng, the second son of the old man, overheard the envoy talking to the old man, and went to Huang Wentong to tell the truth, and at this time hundreds of soldiers had surrounded the manor. ”
Baili Wuji and Baili Yi smiled bitterly, and Baili Wuji's heart moved: "Don't worry, why didn't the soldiers outside attack directly." ”
Guo Shouwang replied: "The old man ordered the servants in the village to close the gate of the village, and confront each other on the garden wall with bows and crossbows, thinking that the rebel army might not have enough soldiers, so he did not attack immediately. ”
Wuji hurriedly asked: "How many strong servants are there in the village?" ”
"About two hundred people."
Baili Wuji sighed secretly in his heart, big local tyrant, it seems that this must be rectified in the future, otherwise it will be easy for the government decree to talk about it smoothly, but now is not the time to think about it.
"Can Uncle Guo send someone out of the city to report the news?"
"After the envoy's order yesterday, the old man has already sent the steward of the village out of the city to report the news."
Baili Wuji thought, if the horse is hurrying, it will only be a day's journey from Wanxian to Zhongxian, where the state capital is located, and the reinforcements are estimated to arrive tomorrow at the latest, how can it be delayed until tomorrow now. How can the more than 200 Ding Zhuang in the village stop the hundreds of soldiers outside? If the rebels send reinforcements again, it will be really fatal.
Baili Wuji said solemnly: "Uncle Guo, I don't blame you, at this point, you must immediately gather all the men in the village to fight against the rebels, or you can hold out until the Black Flag Army arrives, otherwise Guo Zhuang and a certain will burn the jade." ”
Although Guo Shouwang is worried about the lives of his clansmen, but the matter has come to this point, even surrender is useless, it is better to take a risk and there is still a glimmer of life, thinking of this tooth gritting, to Baili Wuji said: "Make Jun, old decay is a handful of age, death is not a pity, today Guo Zhuang is in trouble, if there is an accident in the old decay, I hope that the Jun will look at the more than 200 lives in today's village in the future, and give the dog Guo a way to live." ”
Baili Wuji held Guo Shouwang's hand and said, "This matter has been answered." ”
"In this way, the old man will go and gather Ding Zhuang now and hand it over to the envoy to command."
"Bailiyi, you will take four guards to follow Mr. Guo, and bring Ding Zhuang to the front yard." And let Guo Shouwang stay in the backyard and hide.
"Yes." Bai Liyi took his guards and went out with Guo Shouwang.
Baili Wuji took the other four guards to the front yard.
The front yard was lit up by torches.
Baili Wuji carefully looked outside the wall, and saw that outside the courtyard gate, a group of soldiers with black pressure were all holding bows and crossbows, and the first one on a horse was a captain, and it was quiet outside, as if he was waiting for something.
At this time, a horse came and said a few words to the captain. The lieutenant opened his mouth and shouted: "Listen to the people of Guo Zhuang, Commander Huang has an order, as long as you hand over Baili Wuji, you can avoid waiting for death." A certain person waited for half an hour, and when the time came, he would lead the army to level Guozhuang, and the chickens and dogs would not be left. ”
Thinking about it, he saw that there were many people on the wall of Guozhuang, and the captain wanted to catch Baili Wuji without blood, so he did not immediately attack. This also happened to give Baili Wuji a lot of time.
