Chapter 115: A Warm Invitation
Hearing the movement here, Xue Yongli walked over with a few guards. He happened to hear the conversation between Wu Shigong and Deng Qifan. But before it was too late to pull Wu Shigong, Wu Shigong finished stirring up Deng Qifan.
Xue Yongli hurriedly pulled Wu Shigong aside, and whispered in Wu Shigong's ear: "Uncle, the Tongcheng faction is not a Jianghu sect. It is a school of literati, and the sect is dominated by scholars from Tongcheng. ”
Then, Xue Yongli explained the basic situation of the Tongcheng faction to Wu Shigong. Of course, he couldn't say it very clearly. Because, these situations are all fragments that Xue Yongli listened to when he was the leader of Xue Lian's guards.
In fact, in the original history, the Tongcheng School was a very famous literary school in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. The main members of the Tongcheng faction were all modern Tongcheng people in Anhui Province (there was no Anhui Province at that time in the Ming Dynasty). Out a lot of prose everyone.
The author remembers the Tongcheng faction most clearly, everyone is Fang Bao. Because I didn't memorize the "Miscellaneous Notes in Prison" he wrote, my Chinese teacher asked me to copy it 20 times.
And that Deng Qifan came to Guide Mansion from Tongcheng to visit a person who asked Hou Sui. That Deng Qifan happened to be worried, so he couldn't participate in Enke this time. But he was still very young, and he had the ambition to do something big. Therefore, he traveled thousands of miles and came to Guide Mansion to visit Hou Sui to ask for teaching. Unexpectedly, I also encountered this rebellion of the Holy Spirit Society.
And now Wu Shigong listened to Xue Yongli's words, even if it was some bits and pieces, he knew that he was wrong. Wu Shigong was a little worried at this time. The lessons of Yu Zilian's past are still in front of him, and his self-identification book has not yet been submitted to the military department, and he doesn't know how to pass this hurdle.
At this time, Wu Shigong was still holding some luck, so he wanted to confirm Deng Qifan's identity again, and he asked Deng Qifan, who was lying on the ground and shrunk into a shrimp shape, "Are you really from the Tongcheng faction?" ”
Deng Qifan nodded painfully, stared at Wu Shigong and replied through gritted teeth: "I'm still a lifter." ”
Wu Shigong was completely dumbfounded at this moment. In fact, Wu Shigong had already seen that Na Zhi and Deng Qifan should indeed be sent by the Mansion of Defu. They shouldn't be lying. Otherwise, the two of them would not have surrendered their weapons obediently, and were bound by their own guards almost without any resistance.
The reason why Wu Shigong treated them like this was because of some reasons for his haste to talk, but the more important reason was that Wu Shigong's excitement when he was exterminating the Holy Spirit Society had not yet passed at this time. He was like his warhorse, a man who had gone mad. To be clear, Wu Shigong is now a little carried away.
But now that he knew that he had beaten another person, Wu Shigong was completely annoyed. Wu Shigong scolded himself for being unlucky in his heart. The Yu Zilian incident has not passed, and now he has provoked the Deng Qifan incident again.
The current Wu Shigong has been blinded by his little wife Li Xin, and knows how terrifying the influence of the Shizi group is in the Ming Dynasty. And looking at Deng Qifan's appearance now, he must also be a person with revenge. Let Deng Qifan forgive himself like this, and not sue Hou Sui and the Fuzun of Guide Mansion, it is basically impossible.
So what should we do with this Deng Qifan now, should I let him return to Defu City and complain to Hou Sui and the Fuzun of Defu? It's not like I can't eat and walk around.
Wu Shigong was at a loss, and he scratched his scalp with his hand in annoyance. But before he could come up with any way, he only heard the cavalry in charge of guarding on the side shouting: "Uncle, in the direction of Defu City, another team of men and horses is coming." ”
Not long after Hou Sui and the Fuzun of Guide Mansion sent Zhizhi and Deng Qifan, they received a report from their soldiers. It turned out that some of the military attaches under the old man Zhao Ming who were left in the countryside finally gathered the team and returned to the city of Guide after getting the news of the emergency in Guide City.
Moreover, they did not come back empty-handed. Outside the city, they caught a dozen rioters. After the Holy Spirit Society's camp exploded, those riotous people basically fled in the direction of their hometowns because they were mainly from Kaifeng Mansion and Runing Mansion. In other words, they basically fled in the direction of the county seat of Qi County.
Only a very small number of people who were dazed ran in the direction of Guide City. And the team that came back happened to encounter dozens of such chaotic people. There were also hundreds of people in the team that came back, and of course they had the courage to come forward and threaten them. Unexpectedly, those rebels had been frightened, except for some rebels who fled to both sides, more than a dozen rioters surrendered.
Hou Sui and the Fuzun of Guide Mansion immediately asked people to bring these captive rebels, and after inquiring about the situation in detail, they finally learned that there was such an official army that had entered the camp of the rebels and killed the leader of the Holy Spirit Society. Therefore, without a leader, these Holy Spirit Rebellion people scattered and fled.
Now that we know the situation, we must send an official to take a look at the city and receive friendly troops. But this errand is also dangerous. In addition to a magistrate from the Guide Mansion who volunteered to come forward, he also had to send a military attache and some escort soldiers.
When Hou Sui's eyes were on the old man Zhao Ming, the old man Zhao Ming had no way to retreat, so he simply volunteered. Then, after opening the city gate of Guide Mansion, the pusher and the old man Zhao Ming, with more than fifty of the old man Zhao Ming's personal soldiers, rode horses, and also came in the direction of Wu Shigong.
Knowing that someone was coming, Wu Shigong immediately ordered: "Quickly gag the two of them, stuff them in the carriage, and pull them away quickly." Wu Shigong didn't have any good way, so he had to arrest Zhizhi and Deng Qifan back to the fortress of the Thousand Households first.
The two teams saw from afar, and no one dared to approach until they figured out the situation. Old man Zhao Ming sent a personal soldier to Wu Shigong's side to contact him.
Unexpectedly, that pro-soldier, Wu Shigong knew, was the old pro-soldier of the tour guide who sent Wu Shigong to Qianhu. After the old soldier saw Wu Shigong, he greeted the old man Zhao Ming, and the pusher and the old man Zhao Ming and his party approached Wu Shigong.
After the two sides meet, of course, they are all salutes. After the magistrate saluted, he habitually looked around and happened to see the dozen or so carriages that had been driven away. One of the carriages seemed to have some movement in it.
The magistrate's temperament was more realistic, so he pointed to the carriage and asked Wu Shigong: "Wu Qianhu, that carriage seems to be loaded with people." ”
Wu Shigong glanced at the carriage, his face did not change color, and he replied without a beat: "Oh! The carriage was loaded with two lost women. The ruler saw that they were very pitiful, and like two lost lambs, he sent them home in a carriage. Amen. ”
I don't know what the pusher of the door is, but I can listen to the meaning of Wu Shigong's words: It seems that Wu Shigong grabbed two women and went back. The pusher's eyes widened, and he was about to say something more.
The old man Zhao Ming, who was observing the words and expressions on the side, hurriedly played a round and said: "The young hero is really romantic!" After finishing speaking, the old man Zhao Ming squeezed his eyes at the pusher.
Wu Shigong made such a great contribution and caught a few folk women back, so what kind of big deal is it? received the signal from the old man Zhao Ming, and the pusher also reacted.
As a result, the two sides immediately became harmonious. When the pusher and the old man Zhao Ming knew that Wu Shigong and them had trampled the great leader of the Holy Spirit Society to death, and seized the imperial seal and dragon robe of the "Great Song Kingdom", they were immediately overjoyed. Because that's a solid achievement.
They graciously invited Wu Shigong to go to Guide Mansion City to sit down. Wu Shigong resigned again and again. He was thinking about the captured supplies, and he wanted to transport them back to the fortress of the Thousand Households as soon as possible.
But how could the pusher and the old man Zhao Ming be willing to let Wu Shigong leave? Could it be that this great credit is just for Wu Shigong to swallow alone? They still want to share some of the credit.
Under all kinds of invitations, Wu Shigong had no choice but to agree. He asked Xue Yongli to escort these supplies back with one hundred and fifty cavalry.
And the pusher and the old man Zhao Ming also arranged their own personal soldiers to peel off the body of the unruly Master Mu who was stuck to the ground.
Then, the two sides joined together and walked towards the city of Guide.
