Chapter 413: Worst Outcome
He had been busy running for his life before, but when he stopped now, Gu Yunji had time to think about it carefully.
When Qiu Wugang rushed to the camp with his people, he had already sent scouts to investigate, and confirmed that there were only two or three hundred Japanese robbers who came to sneak attack, and they were all concentrated in the open space in front of the camp, and they were fighting with the soldiers left behind.
Therefore, Qiu Wu would be relieved to leave his personal guards to protect Gu Yunji and Fu Zida just now, and he would take the rest of the soldiers to support.
Since the pirates are all fighting in the camp, where did the pirates who attacked Gu Yunji and the others come from? Did you hide here early in the morning, or did you come to raid later?
And although the number of those widows is small, the purpose is very clear, it is clearly aimed at Gu Yunji and Fu Zida, and the other party is very likely to know the identities of the two of them, does this mean that the other party has premeditated?
If the Japanese have a back hand, then wouldn't Qiu Wugang and the others ......
Gu Yunji's face was solemn, and he didn't dare to continue thinking about it, although he and Fu Zida were safe for the time being and had escaped smoothly, but he didn't know what the situation was outside, and he didn't know if they went out rashly like this, it would be Qiu Wugang who would greet them, or the would-be robbers waiting to catch turtles in the urn.
Considering this possibility, Gu Yunji planned to let Fu Zida stay here and go out to investigate the situation first.
He casually picked up a thick wooden stick and handed it to Fu Zida, instructing, "I'll go out and have a look first, you take this for self-defense, if there is anything in case, you will not be completely powerless to resist."
Fu Zida was flustered by Gu Yunji's words, and subconsciously pulled his clothes: "That...... And when are you coming back?"
Gu Yunji said: "I'll do it as soon as possible, if it's safe in front, I'll definitely come back to you immediately, if there's any accident......
Saying that, Gu Yunji paused, and then said, "...... Then you should pay more attention to yourself."
Fu Zida's heart tightened, and his voice trembled: "What...... What do you mean by me paying more attention to myself?"
Gu Yunji was silent, and after a while, he exhaled lightly, squatted down and looked at Fu Zida, and said slowly but firmly: "If I haven't come back, you must not come to me, follow the road in the opposite direction out of the forest, find a way to go back to the mansion, and find a way to find the governor."
「…… So what do you do?"
Gu Yunji lowered his head to avoid his gaze, and said a little dejectedly: "Anyway, as far as the worst-case outcome is concerned, you and I must at least have one person go back and tell the court what happened, lest my family think that I disappeared without knowing my whereabouts."
Listening to Gu Yunji's words that seemed to be goodbye, Fu Zida's eyes turned red, grabbed his hand tightly, and choked up, "...... Lord Gu, don't worry, you saved me more than once today, my life was given by you, even if I climb, I will crawl back and bring the news to the Governor."
「…… If something happens to you, I will definitely take care of your family for you, you don't have to worry. From now on, your father and mother will be my parents, your children will be my children, and your wife will be mine......
Feeling Gu Yunji's knife-like gaze, Fu Zida stopped urgently and bent the words that came to his mouth: "...... It's my brother and daughter-in-law, anyway, I'll help you take care of them."
Gu Yunji said angrily, "Who is rare for you to take care of!" Can't you hope I'm okay? I'm a court official, and the head on the neck is still worth a little money, and even if I am caught, I may not die."
"I asked you to bring news to the Governor in the hope that you would save me, not avenge me! I will take care of my wife and children myself, and I don't need you to help me."
Fu Zida understood that he had misunderstood, and instantly burst into tears and laughed: "That's good, that's good......
Gu Yunji restrained his expression, stood up and said, "All in all, you should be more careful yourself, if there is any sudden situation, you have grown such a big man, you should know how to improvise, right?" Protect yourself, don't wait for me to come back and find that you're gone, and I'll have to bother to save you."
Fu Zida nodded like pounding garlic: "Don't worry, Master Gu, I know everything."
Seeing this, Gu Yunji didn't say much, found a wooden stick at random, held it in his hand, and walked carefully outside the forest.
As soon as Gu Yunji left, he looked around
Suddenly quieted down, Fu Zida stayed alone, only to feel that the time was long and extremely difficult.
I don't know how long later, when Fu Zida was drowsy, he suddenly heard a squirming movement behind him. He perked up, thinking that Gu Yunji was back, and subconsciously wanted to run out, but remembered his instructions, and hurriedly changed places to hide, carefully peeking at the place where the sound came from.
The trees are dense, and it is impossible to see what the person looks like, but the other party is tall, there seem to be three or four people, and they even carry weapons - is it a wolf?!
Fu Zida's face was bloody, and his mind was filled with chaotic thoughts: How is it a widow? What about Gu Yunji? Are others alright? Even if Gu Yunji is fine, but now that the widows are in front of him, won't he be able to escape? Then who will go back to bring news to Mei Feng?
Fu Zida panicked, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself.
As Gu Yunji said, no matter how he is, he is also an official of the imperial court, even if he falls into the hands of the Japanese Kou, the other party may not kill him, maybe he will trade his head with the imperial court, so that he can survive......
Thinking of this, Fu Zida woke up suddenly, shook his head vigorously, and scolded himself: Fu Zida, Fu Zida, you are a coward! In vain, you have a seven-foot body, and now that the enemy is coming, you only think about how to survive, and you really read all the books of the sages into the dog's stomach!
Now that Gu Yunji's life and death are unknown, how can you only think about yourself? You have been in the government for six years, you have eaten rice in the imperial court, and you haven't contributed much, do you still want the court to spend a lot of money to redeem you? Do you deserve it?
It's better to go out and fight with the Japanese Kou, and leave a corpse for them, lest they use you to blackmail the court!
Thinking like this, Fu Zida's eyes showed determination, and he clenched the wooden stick in his hand, ready to wait for the Japanese to come over, and fight with them, if he can kill one by one, and then awe-inspiring righteousness, to protect the whole person's arrogance and reputation.
The footsteps behind him were approaching, Fu Zida's body trembled with nervousness, and his heart was about to jump to his throat.
Three steps, two steps, one step...... Now is the time!
"Ahhhh
Fu Zida's eyes were closed, and he jumped out suddenly, holding the wooden stick and waving it all the time.
"Something!" The person who came was taken aback, easily dodged his movements, and slashed his iron palm precisely on Fu Zida's wrist.
"Ahh
Fu Zida was in pain, the wooden stick fell from his hand, and before he could "awe-inspiring righteousness", he was restrained by the person brought by the other party with his arm behind his back, and instantly lost the ability to resist.
It's over, and I can't even keep my name now.
Fu Zida's heart was like ashes, and he turned his head hard, wanting to see the face of this widow before he died, so that he could become a ghost and settle accounts with him in the future.
However, the moment he saw the other party's face clearly, Fu Zida was stunned: "...... General Qiu?"
