Chapter 8: Grandeur (6)

A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance.

Early the next morning, Guo Yunming waved the edict issued to the envoys and defense envoys of various places. Immediately handed over to Liu Chengyou to use the emperor's seal, and personally took the Privy Council snatched back from Shi Hongzhao and Yang Wei, and the big seal of Zhongshu Province was stamped under the emperor's seal and handed over to Yousi, ordering it to be sent to relevant places as soon as possible.

Yesterday, the city of Bianliang in Tokyo was killed to the fullest, and among the officials in Beijing, many people suffered from the fish in the pond. The rest, even if they weren't affected, were terrified. Therefore, this errand of going out to deliver the decree has become the best way to avoid trouble at this moment, and almost everyone is rushing to take the initiative to ask for help.

Only the task of going to Cangzhou to preach the decree was not contested. Anyone with eyes and ears knows that Zheng Ziming, the defense envoy of Cangzhou, and Guo Rong, the righteous son of the traitor Guo Wei, are brothers. Sending a decree to him on behalf of the emperor and ordering him to lead troops to copy Guo Wei's back road is purely self-defeating. I'm afraid that I won't even have a chance to read the holy decree, and the messenger will have to be cut off by Zheng Ziming.

So it was pushed back and forth, and in the end, this task of death and life was imposed on the bald head of the unlucky egg king. Who let this person show off the benefits given by Zheng Ziming after returning from Cangzhou last time? This time, if he doesn't give his life, who will give his life?

The little official Wang Guang also had a piece of hob meat, and when he saw that he couldn't shirk it, he swore on the spot that he was willing to be the court, and would rather die for scolding the thief than insulting the prestige of the court. Immediately, when the immediate boss was greatly moved, he proposed to postpone the departure for one day, go home first, and make final arrangements for his wife and children. ，

The top boss was ashamed and agreed to his request without hesitation. The little official Wang Guang returned home, and without saying a word, he directly ordered his wife, son, and son-in-law to load the family and the benefits he got from Cangzhou last time into the carriage. Immediately, he called his eldest son Wang Deyuan into the room and commanded in a low voice, "I will send you out of the city, and you will immediately take your mother, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law to your hometown in Dengzhou overnight to avoid trouble." Remember, no matter what happened in Bianliang recently, don't come back, and don't casually inquire about your father's news. ”

"Grandpa, you ......" Wang Deyuan had already vaguely heard that his father had received a mortal errand, and tears flowed all over his face first.

"Bastard, what are you crying about, it's too late to be happy for your father!" Wang Guang raised his hand, first slapped his son lightly, and then lowered his voice and added, "At this moment, staying in Bianliang is really looking for death." Flee far away, but you will find a way to live. That Zheng Ziming is a rare hero today, it's hard for me to run errands, he is still ashamed! Only those guys who don't know will spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"

"That, that......" Wang Deyuan has been pampered since he was a child, and his knowledge is shallow. Listening to his father's words without a trace of sadness, he suddenly became a little confused, stared at a pair of teary eyes, and was at a loss.

"It's nothing, that, that, do as I say!" Wang Guang rubbed his son's head and continued to add in a low voice, "When the emperor secretly ambushes the dead in the Wende Palace, kills the privy envoy and the prime minister, this kind of thing, if you do it on the green forest road, it will be the end of smashing the pot and scattering the gang, not to mention the king of a country? Your Lao Tzu went to Cangzhou to defect to Zheng Ziming, he is short of manpower, and he will definitely give me a bowl of Ansheng rice to eat. You took our family's savings and went to the countryside to hide with your wife, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law. I estimate that it won't be long before another emperor should be replaced in Bianliang City. When the wind and waves are calm, it's not too late for our father and son to move back home!"

"Yes, everything is up to your old arrangement!" Wang Deyuan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and nodded with tears in his eyes.

Lest he be young and impulsive, the little official Wang Guang had to call his wife to him again, and broke up his plans and arrangements for his family and explained it clearly. Immediately, he called his daughters and sons-in-law into the inner hall and told them one by one. After everyone showed their attitude of obeying the arrangement, they put on their official robes and sent all their families out of Bianliang. Then he returned to the house and fell asleep.

On the same day, I don't know how many wise people made similar arrangements. As a result, when I set off the next day, the official road was actually crowded with carriages full of fine and soft, and it was blocked from the city gate to Chenqiaoyi.

Yin Liu Bao of Kaifeng Mansion was in a hurry, and hurriedly closed the official road under the pretense of arresting the traitorous remnants, and forced the people to return to Bianliang. As a result, the people's hearts are even more chaotic, and the cries inside and outside the city are shaking the sky. Even some people who didn't expect to flee hurriedly ran home and began to pack their big bags and small wraps, lest they be late and be pulled onto the broken ship of the imperial court by Yin Qiang of Liu Mansion.

Fortunately, with the holy decree in his hand, Wang Guang himself did not suffer any trouble when he left the city. And got the key care of the Kaifeng Prefecture officials, through the shoulder to shoulder of the flow of refugees, and arrived in Caozhou smoothly.

In order to avoid a possible rebel army, after passing Caozhou, he made a special circle, going to Jeju and Yunzhou, and then changed boats at the ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River and went directly to Bozhou on the opposite bank.

In this way, although it took an extra two or three hundred miles, it was closer to Tokyo to avoid the two prefectures of Lan and Pu, so as not to be accidentally caught by Guo Wei's soldiers and horses as the eagle dogs of the imperial court, and cut off his head with a knife in a daze.

Na Cheng thought, his feet had just stepped on the north shore not far away, and before he could step onto his mount, a horn like a dragon's roar suddenly sounded in his ears, "Woo woo, woo woo, woo woo woo-". With the cold wind of early autumn, it has been drilled into the bottom of people's hearts.

"Oh no, Guo Jiaqi'er actually crossed the river with a fucking detour!" In an instant, Wang Guang, a small official in Zhongshu Province, was so frightened that he sweated, and instinctively turned around and ran towards the ferry. But I saw the captains on the dock, like frightened crabs, holding the big and small boats away from the north shore with their hands and feet. Immediately, the sail was pulled and flew away with the current. No matter how loud the ferrymen on the shore shouted, they resolutely refused to turn back.

"It's broken, it's broken, it's broken, before crossing the river today, the pillar burned for the Bodhisattva must be fake incense!" The little official Wang Guang wanted to cry without tears, and while complaining in his heart, he threw the official robe, the holy decree, the waist card, and everything that could indicate his identity into the water as quickly as possible. Immediately, he grabbed a few lumps of mud from the ground and smeared them on his face.

The entourage he brought from Bianliang was also all human spirits, and he didn't need to be instructed, so he took matters into his own hands and sent weapons, armor and other things to the Dragon King. Then he threw an apologetic look at his proprietor, lowered his head, and went into the grove by the river as fast as he could.

"You, you don't, you wait for me, wait for me......" Wang Guang stopped for a moment, but simply abandoned his horse himself, and stumbled to the nearest bush. As a result, before he could hide his buttocks, the two teams of cavalry had already flown in, one left and one right, and made a big circle along the riverbank, and in a few breaths, they captured most of the people who were hiding and fleeing for their lives!

"The military master spares his life, the military master spares his life!" Wang Guang himself, along with several of his entourage who had been captured, and other fleeing civilians lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. The leader of the cavalry, however, turned a deaf ear to the begging for mercy, and ordered his brothers to search the vicinity twice and catch more suspicious figures. Then he gathered all the captured captives on the dock, pointed to the mounts of Wang Guang and the others, and asked, "Who are these horses?" As long as the owner is identified, the others can leave on their own. Ben will go south this time just to seek justice for Guo Shumi's family, and he will never implicate the innocent!"

"They, it's them. War horses are theirs. General Qiqi, the villain just saw him throw a big bag of things into the river!"

"He, he's the leader. Just now, the villain saw him smear mud on himself!"

"He, he, and him, are all minions of this man. The little one saw a few of them get off the boat together, and they went down in order!"

"He, his. General, look, look at these high-headed horses, how can a person like a villain be able to afford it......"

Before the leader of the cavalry could finish speaking, the captives scrambled to get Wang Guang and all his minions out. While pulling, he also punched and kicked, lest his hands be too soft, so that the cavalry would regard everyone as his comrades.

The cavalry commander who led the team was in a happy mood when he saw it. The promise was immediately fulfilled and the other captives left on their own. Immediately, he waved the spear in his hand and asked Wang Guang with a sneer: "You, who is your surname? Which bastard's subordinate is it? Who do you want to collude with when you come to the north bank of the Yellow River? Quickly and truthfully, don't know each other, and let yourself suffer a few more meals of flesh and skin!"

"Wronged!" Wang Guang heard this, and immediately opened his throat and shouted injustice, "General, the grass people are wronged." Wang Guang, a grass man, is a native of Dengzhou, and has been cultivating and reading heirlooms for generations. This time, I was invited by Shi Fan Wenchang, the chief of the Cangzhou Thorn History Account, to go to his side to meet the giant kun. I never thought that I would meet a large army after crossing the Yellow River!"

At least four percent of these statements are true, and four percent are well documented. It is enough to make ordinary martial artists unable to figure out the authenticity in a short period of time. Unexpectedly, the cavalry leader who led the team heard this, but laughed, swung his riding spear, and smoked Wang Guang first. Then he lowered his choked voice with a spear and said in a deep voice: "Give you a chance to confess truthfully." Don't lie to Lao Tzu anymore, otherwise, Lao Tzu will chop up all the others and feed Wang Ba!"

"Say!" the cavalry raised their swords and surrounded them, and pressed fiercely. As soon as the leader of his own family gave an order, he chopped Wang Guang's subordinates into meat puree.

Where did the entourage go to death with Wang Guang, and immediately lay on the ground, crying and confessing: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I said, I said, my lord, this dead fat man is Wang Guang, who went to Cangzhou to preach the decree." We are all his followers. I'm waiting, we're acting on orders, general, we just have to protect him along the way, what he does, it has nothing to do with us!"

"Don't, don't kill me, I'm not a Qincha, I'm not a Qincha!" Wang Guang, the little official, was suddenly frightened. Before the spear that grabbed the neck was stabbed, he defended himself loudly, "I, although I was ordered to go to Cangzhou to deliver the decree, I didn't plan to go back." I, I am a good friend of Cangzhou Zheng Defense Envoy, and this time I specially took the opportunity to come to him to send a decree for the imperial court, inform him, and inform him of the reality of the imperial court!"

was also forced to be in a hurry, Wang Guang grabbed any straw that might save his life into his hands. I only hope that the other party can read the relationship between Zheng Ziming and Guo Wei and give himself a chance to speak. Don't do it right away, let yourself die blindly. But I never expected that the effect of these words would be immediate.

The cavalry general, on horseback, withdrew his spear without hesitation. Immediately after, he looked him up and down a few times, and said loudly: "You are here to defect to Zheng Ziming? It just so happens that he has just arrived in Bozhou with his soldiers and horses, and he is stationed on the hillside outside the city at this moment. I'll take you over and let him tell the truth, if you dare to lie to me, Gao will definitely make you regret what happened to you in the world!"
