MTL - Long Wind Crossing-Chapter 148
Such a huge and sudden attack made all the rich and squires in the city panic, even Wang Shusheng felt a little uneasy in his heart, he pretended to be calm on the face, and congratulated Wang: " Go and have a look, but Gu Jiusi has come to help."
Wang He had wanted to go for a long time, so he quickly responded and left.
Being trapped in a tall position, Boss Chen said angrily: "What are you looking at, Gu Jiusi must have brought someone back!"
"What if I called back!"
Wang Shusheng shouted angrily: "Can we stop?!"
These words made everyone silent, Wang Shusheng looked at everyone in the house in a state of anxiety, he was annoyed, and he was worried about the situation outside. After leaving people to look after them, he walked away go out.
He rode his horse and galloped all the way to the gate tower. After climbing the gate tower, Wang He also came back and said respectfully: "I haven't looked at Gu Jiusi's men and horses yet, but I only heard people shouting outside the city, Young Master, What to do now?"
"What should I do? Why do you still ask me?" Wang Shusheng said angrily, "Go out and arrest people!"
"The county office..."
"Continue to attack!" Wang Shusheng said immediately, "I must see Liu Yuru before dawn."
"But I'm afraid there are not enough manpower." Wang He hesitated, "There are no more than three thousand soldiers in the city. After today's fierce battle, they can use no more than two thousand. Listening to the voice outside, I am afraid that There are close to a thousand people, there is no double the number, I am afraid there will be a difference in the battle."
Wang Shusheng didn't speak. After a while, he finally said: "Go outside the city to meet the enemy. If you lose, after returning, Liu Yuru will not come out and set fire to the county government."
"A fire burned," Wang He immediately said in shock, "I'm afraid the people inside will not be able to survive, how will Gu Jiusi be restrained then?"
"You lose," Wang Shusheng said coldly, "What are you talking about? One more person on the road, one more companion."
Wang He's heart went cold when he heard this. He knew Wang Shusheng's plan, and although he was afraid, he could only respond.
Wang He ordered the soldiers to go out, and ordered the servants to get oil and dry wood.
Hearing the withdrawal of troops outside, Yin Hong immediately slumped to the ground and patted her chest: "It's okay at last."
Speaking, she turned to look at Liu Yuru, who was still rubbing her veil, and she couldn't help but say: "Madam, the uncle has come to save us, why are you still frowning? Listen to the outside, they all gone."
"They left." Liu Yuru was not happy, lowered her head, and said indifferently, "I'm looking for your uncle."
"Young Master is so powerful," Yin Hong said indifferently, "It will be alright."
Liu Yuru smiled bitterly and didn't say much.
She bowed her head to bandage the wound, silently praying to Gu Jiusi in her heart.
Outside Xingyang City, the Wang family's children led the team and led Xingyang's army all the way towards the direction of the sound. Gu Jiusi stood on a high place and looked down at the movement of Xingyang City.
He was wearing a red embroidered gold-lined shirt with a pure white shirt inside, his hair half-turned with a golden crown, a long sword hanging from his waist, and standing on the top of the mountain in the wind, making him particularly eye-catching.
The people in the forest couldn't see the distance, and they didn't know what was going on.
"Wang's rebellion can punish the nine clans, the same party and the same crime, please think again"
"The 30,000,000 silver of the royal family is piled up by the bones of the common people. If the thieves don't die today, it will be hard to see the blue sky in Yongzhou."
…
The voice drifted into Xingyang City, over and over again, impatiently.
Gu Jiusi calculated the distance of the soldiers, and when he reached his preset distance, Gu Jiusi immediately said to Xu Luo: "Withdraw!"
Speaking, Gu Jiusi, Xu Luo and others, instructed and escorted the people to run away quickly.
Gu Jiusi held the sword, and Xu Luohu was at the end of the people, sending the people all the way to escape. The common people didn't even see the soldier's face, so they all ran out.
These people are all local villagers. As soon as they ran out, they took a shortcut and turned over another hill.
Gu Jiusi, Xu Luo and others hid in the trees, observed the soldiers who came in to search for people, and killed some of the lone ones. After a while, these soldiers found that their people were less, and then another hill, the shouting sounded again.
The leader immediately realized that something was wrong and said loudly: "Back! Back!"
Speaking, the leader and the soldiers immediately exited the jungle.
After exiting, the soldiers did not dare to delay, and immediately returned to the city to report.
Wang Shusheng saw the army coming back on the tower, he thought he had caught Gu Jiusi, but when he heard the report, he was immediately furious: "What do you mean when you don't see anyone? You go in so many people, you are blind. already?!"
"It's really complicated in the jungle, and Gu Jiusi doesn't fight us head-on, I..."
"Shut up!"
Wang Shusheng reprimanded, Wang He was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Master, since Gu Jiusi has decided to meet in the early morning, then we might as well just wait for him to come. Now the priority is , or catch Liu Yuru and others alive, and then arrange a retreat."
Wang Shusheng didn't speak. After a while, he took a deep breath: "What you said is true."
Speaking, he took a step forward and whispered: "Send everyone in the family out, go straight all the way without looking back, go to Yizhou."
Wang He respectfully saluted and walked down with the people.
In the lobby of Wang's house, the patriarchs were anxiously drinking tea. A servant came to serve tea to Master Zhao. His face changed suddenly.
Seeing that his face was wrong, Mr. Chen, who had been observing everyone, couldn't help but ask: "What kind of tea is Mr. Zhao's tea?"
"Same as everyone," Master Zhao calmed down and continued, "But the tea from the Wang family is probably different from ours."
Hearing this, everyone present glanced at each other, and they could see that Master Zhao knew something.
There were repeated shouts outside, and Mr. Chen said slowly: "It seems that Gu Jiusi has a lot of resentment towards the Wang family. The back and forth are the Wang family's business."
"Speaking of which, this is still young and impulsive, and I can't bear it." Master Zhao wiped the handwriting on the cup holder, calmly put it aside, and said slowly, "Our families There are a lot of people in the family, there are a few children who are more promising, but there are also many children who are just ordinary people. After all, life is the most important thing, what do you think?"
Smart people talk around, and after a few words, everyone understands the meaning.
Several of their families had some children in the officialdom, and it was to protect these children at the beginning, so they followed Wang Shusheng to assassinate the imperial envoy. But in addition to these official children, there are many ordinary people in their family who are not involved. Now if they really go to the dark with the Wang family, then the Wang family will run away, but they will be guilty of raiding the family and destroying the family. It is better to give up some people, at least leave some green hills, and maybe rely on the younger generation in the clan to make a comeback in the future.
Speaking of which, no one answered.
. The lives of their group are now in the Wang family, and no one can be careless.
Everyone is suspicious and worried about each other. Wang Shusheng, on the other hand, completely gave up on arresting Gu Jiusi, turned around and led the person to the entrance of the county government office.
The Wang family has prepared oil and firewood, and with 2,000 troops, surrounded the county office.
Outside the county office, most of the people on Liu Yuru's side were injured. They held knives and formed a circle to protect the outer edge of the county office.
"Liu Yuru!"
Wang Shu stood outside the door and shouted, "Come out for me!"
This shout was heard both inside and outside the courtyard. Liu Yuru only heard the noise outside. After a while, Mu Nan came in and said respectfully, "Madam, Wang Shusheng is calling you outside. ."
Liu Yuru hesitated for a moment, but stood up. She led the people all the way to the outer courtyard. Standing here, she could hear the movement outside the door.
Wang Shusheng waited outside for a while, and then heard Mu Nan said: "My wife is here, she will speak if she has something to say."
"Liu Yuru, your husband, Gu Jiusi, is now outside the city gate. He is waiting to see you." Wang Shusheng said loudly, "Let's stop fighting like this, you come out by yourself, and I will spare you. No one dies."
"Master Wang is joking."
Liu Yuru calmly said: "If Lord Wang killed us so easily, why would you need to come out as a concubine? You can take it yourself. But I can't do anything about my husband outside the city, and we take us. There is no way, I want to coax me out of a woman's family and use it as a shield for this Xingyang City."
"Mrs. Gu is very confident in herself."
Wang Shusheng smiled: "It's hard for me to arrest you, but it's easy for me to kill you. Liu Yuru, let me tell you, now outside the county office, I brought the oil from the whole city and brought it with me. Enough firewood and straw, if you don't come out, don't blame me for doing it."
"Master Wang," Hearing this, Luo Zishang, who was accompanying Liu Yuru, finally spoke up, he sneered, "If you burn us to death, you will have no more. Gu Jiusi has the handle. Besides, if I die here, you have to weigh the weight."
"Master Luo," Wang Shusheng said immediately, "I don't want to be your enemy, nor do you want to be my enemy. I just want to find a way out, if you want, open it up. Come to the door, hand over Madam Gu, as long as Madam Gu comes out, I promise that the county government will never be affected."
Luo Zishang fell silent, Wang Shusheng continued: "Lord Luo, I have nowhere to go now, rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, not to mention my Wang Shusheng?"
No one spoke, Yin Hong saw that everyone around her didn't express their opinions, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she said eagerly: "No, Madam can't go out! They are obviously going to use Madam to blackmail the uncle, then... By the time…"
At that time, if Gu Jiusi does not fall into the trap and die, Liu Yuru will not survive.
If Gu Jiusi fell into the trap of life and death... Liu Yuru would not survive.
It's a dead end.
Yin Hong anxiously wanted to ask everyone, but everyone didn't speak, everyone looked at Liu Yuru, after a while, Liu Yuru finally said: "Then please wait a moment, Lord Wang, after the concubine has been groomed , this is leaving the house."
"Half an hour."
Wang Shusheng immediately said: "I didn't see anyone for half an hour, so I burned this mansion."
"Good."
Liu Yuru responded, she turned around, and said with Yinhong, "Go get some water, I'll take a shower."
Yin Hong stood still, Liu Yuru went into the room and said calmly, "Get some water."
Yin Hong knew the warning in Liu Yuru's voice.
Liu Yuru went to find out the new clothes, then found the jewelry that Gu Jiusi bought for her, and then took off her hair.
After that, she seemed to be going to a grand banquet. She took a bath, changed her clothes, pulled her hair, painted delicate makeup, inserted white jade beads and swayed to both sides, and then stood up Come, put on a purple and white flower shirt, spread out your arms, and iron the warm incense **** over your clothes.
When all this was done, Mu Nan's voice came from outside: "Madam, it's almost half an hour."
Liu Yuru answered and said calmly, "Open the door."
After finishing speaking, the door opened, and Liu Yuru saw everyone standing outside the door in two rows. She looked up and looked calm and calm. Li Yuchang looked at her, couldn't bear it, and said slowly, "Mrs. Gu, you..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Yuru laughed: "Master Li, don't think too much."
Liu Yuru calmly said: "Everyone will be safe."
When Li Yuchang heard this, she didn't know if Liu Yuru was comforting, or if she didn't understand the meaning of her going. But he couldn't say anything more at this time.
He sighed and said nothing.
Liu Yuru stepped out of the door, everyone watched her, she did not look back all the way, her posture was calm and calm.
Then the two rows of guards knelt forward like a wave, following Liu Yuru's unhurried footsteps. One after another: "Respectfully send Madam, respectfully send Madam."
Liu Yuru didn't stop, didn't speak, and didn't look back.
She deserves it all.
Everyone knows that, as a wife, she should be the last person in the inner court to be protected by everyone. Even if they all die in front of them, this woman will be the last to leave.
However, she chose to exchange her own life for theirs, protecting them with her weak body.
Liu Yuru walked to the door, she looked at the blood-stained county gate, and finally stopped, a moment later, she turned around, folded her hands in front of her, and gently bowed body.
"Thank you all."
Hearing this, Luo Zishang's eyelashes trembled.
Just before Liu Yuru turned around, he suddenly said, "Liu Yuru!"
Liu Yuru paused, and he finally said, "I'll take you back to Yangzhou."
However, only Liu Yuru responded calmly: "Open the door."
The door creaked and opened slowly, and then Liu Yuru saw people standing outside.
Behind the door is life, outside the door is death.
Liu Yuru moved towards Wang Shusheng with a slight blessing, and said in a gentle tone, "Young Master Wang."
"Mrs. Gu."
Wang Shusheng smiled back and said, "Please."
Liu Yuru nodded, stepped over the threshold without hesitation, and walked out.
When she got down the steps, she turned around and saw that the door of the government office had not been closed, and everyone looked at her, as if she could go back as long as she was willing to turn back. Liu Yuru smiled lightly, but said, "Close the door."
"Madam!"
Yin Hong finally couldn't help it, howled out, and was about to run towards Liu Yuru, but was grabbed by Mu Nan, he controlled her, trembling, and did not speak.
Liu Yuru waved her hand and said it again: "Close the door."
The door slowly closed, Liu Yuru also turned around, turned to look at the tower, and asked Wang Shusheng, "Are you going to the tower?"
"Mrs. Gu doesn't seem afraid at all?"
Wang Shusheng was a little surprised by Liu Yuru's appearance, and couldn't help asking. Liu Yuru got into the carriage under his guidance, and the two got into the carriage together. Liu Yuru said indifferently, "What am I afraid of?"
"Do you know what's going to happen?"
"It's nothing more than threatening Gu Jiusi with me, making him submit step by step, and finally being captured by you."
"Do you think Gu Jiusi is willing to trade his life for you?"
Wang Shusheng felt a little interesting, looked at Liu Yuru and said, "I heard that you have a good relationship."
"Do you think so?" Liu Yuru looked at Wang Shusheng, and Wang Shusheng laughed, "What do you think I think?"
"You don't think so." Liu Yuru definitely said, Wang Shusheng nodded, "So how can I make good use of you? You can't threaten Gu Jiusi anyway."
"He won't trade his life for mine, but my death can interfere with him. You should set up a lot of archers to ambush him, if you kill me in his presence , he will definitely be confused, and then you will do it again."
Wang Shusheng couldn't laugh anymore, Liu Yuru calmly said: "You think I can think of it, does he not think of it?"
"He's much smarter than me."
"So what?" Wang Shusheng finally stern face, "Even if he knows, he won't be disturbed?"
"Wang Shusheng," Liu Yuru persuaded him, "you still have a way back."
"I still have a way back?" Wang Shusheng mocked, "Don't be a lobbyist for your good husband. I have done so many things, assassinated him, and now command the army The county government is sleepy, do you think I have a way back? You tell me that Gu Jiusi will spare me not to die?"
Liu Yuru stopped talking, Wang Shusheng continued: "He asked Shen Ming to kill my father, and now he wants to kill me, even if I can't take his life today, at least I will take him. Family. I want him to live in guilt for the rest of his life, even if he lives. You died for him."
Wang Shusheng pinched Liu Yuru's chin and said ruthlessly, "You have to remember to hate him, if it wasn't for him who must repair the **** the Yellow River, investigate some cases, why the people ask for justice, you won't dead, you know?"
Liu Yuru looked at him quietly, but said, "I was killed by you."
Her eyes were terrifyingly calm: "If I want to hate, I also hate you. If I want to curse, I should curse you."
Wang Shusheng stopped talking, he stared at her, and after a long time, he pushed her away and said angrily, "crazy woman."
The two went to the tower together. It was almost early morning, and it was the darkest time. Wang Shusheng had Liu Yuru **** and hung on the tower.
Liu Yuru never said a word, she had never suffered like this, her hands were hung up, she felt the thick rope rubbing against her tender skin, she couldn't help trembling in pain.
Wang Shusheng laughed: "It's a woman after all."
Liu Yuru didn't say anything. After she was tied up, she was hung on the tower. She didn't want to think about it, so she closed her eyes and hung on a high place.
The sky is slowly rising, and the surrounding birds are chirping and flying from the mountains and forests.
Liu Yuru heard the young man's loud singing from afar. The voice was familiar and distant. It seemed to be her birthday that year, and the young man sang happily.
You don't see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky, rushing to the sea and not returning.
Liu Yuru slowly opened her eyes, and saw the young man in red in the distance as fierce as fire, with golden crowns shining brightly.
He rides a white horse with a sword, and sings from a distance.
The autumn wind swept the dry grass and flew the corners of his clothes with gold lines. He stopped under the city tower and looked up at her.
He had a smile in his eyes, which covered all his emotions.
Everyone looked at him, but his eyes were fixed on Liu Yuru.
After a long time, he finally spoke, and when everyone thought he was going to say something, they heard him shout.
"Liu Yuru, I'm here to save you!"
Liu Yuru laughed suddenly.
She laughed and cried.
All pain is not pain, all suffering is not suffering anymore.
Wang Shusheng got angry when he heard Gu Jiusi say this, looked at Gu Jiusi, and said loudly: "Gu Jiusi, where are your people?!"
"My people?"
Gu Jiusi raised his eyebrows to look at him, holding the horse with one hand and holding the sword on his shoulder with the other, and echoed: "Am I not here?"
"Where are your soldiers?!"
Wang Shusheng spoke immediately, he was a little nervous, there was such a big battle last night, who could believe that Gu Jiusi was only one person?
Gu Jiusi raised his chin towards the city: "My people are in the city."
"Bullshit!"
"You don't believe me?"
Gu Jiusi raised his eyebrows: "Then you can open the city and let me in. Look at my people, are they in the city?"
Wang Shusheng didn't dare to answer, Gu Jiusi continued: "You guys are very courageous, you use your family members to disguise the people, fake riots, assassinate the imperial emissary, and besiege the county government, what are you doing? This is treason! Do you know what the crime of treason is? Punishing the Nine Clan is a big crime, can you, the local snakes in Yongzhou, afford this crime?"
"But I'm very generous," Gu Jiusi said loudly, "I'm only looking for trouble with the Wang family, and the other families, taking advantage of today's deeds and crimes of rebellion, I can ask Your Majesty to open the Internet On the one hand, do not pursue it!"
"Young Master," Wang He was a little anxious when he heard this, "I can't let him go on."
"Besides, you folks in Yongzhou, are you stubborn? You have been bullied for so many years, come to help you, don't you dare to come forward? Don't you dare, then I will give you money , shouting and cheering for a thousand taels, 3,000 taels to accompany me, a person who killed a person's head ten taels of silver, and a hundred taels that chopped down Wang Shusheng..."
"Gu Jiusi!" Wang Shusheng grabbed Liu Yuru's hair and put the knife on Liu Yuru's neck, "Do you want her life?"
Hearing this, Gu Jiusi calmed down, he looked at Liu Yuru's painful expression, and his eyes fell on the hairpin on her head.
"Wang Shusheng," Gu Jiusi said calmly, "After all, you just want my life to die for your father, you let her go, and I give it to you."
This made everyone stunned, even Liu Yuru, who was also shocked.
She struggled frantically and shouted angrily: "Go! Gu Jiusi, go!"
"Shut up!"
Wang Shusheng reacted, and he was immediately happy: "I didn't expect Master Gu to be a lover, then you just draw your sword and kill yourself."
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Gu Jiusi laughed angrily, "I killed myself, what if you don't let me go?"
"What do you want?"
"You let her out."
"I let it go, what if you run away?"
"You open the gate, I'll go in."
Gu Jiusi immediately said: "You let her go, as long as you let her out of the city and out of range, I will kill myself."
These words made Wang Shusheng a little hesitant. Wang He looked at it and whispered to Wang Shusheng's ear: "We have an archer in ambush in the city, just bring him in."
Wang Shusheng thought for a while, and finally said: "Then throw down your weapon and enter the city in white!"
Entering the city in white clothes would treat him as a criminal, and he would not be allowed to wear any soft armor for self-defense.
Liu Yuru wanted to struggle, but she saw that Gu Jiusi didn't say anything, he got off his horse, took off his coat, took off his golden crown, put down his long sword, wore only a single shirt, and stood barefoot at the city gate Before, he said loudly, "Open the city gate!"
Seeing that he had unloaded all his weapons, Wang Shusheng finally pulled Liu Yuru up. Just as he untied the rope, Liu Yuru pushed the surrounding people away, turned over and got up from the ground, and stumbled from the tower. ran down.
Wang Shusheng didn't let anyone stop her, Liu Yuru ran very fast all the way. She lost her usual calmness and ran frantically to the city gate downstairs, with tears in her eyes, like a teenage girl who was greatly wronged and wanted to find the person who could save her for the rest of her life.
She ran all the way, the wind whistled, and when she ran behind the city gate, her clothes were messy, her buns were spread out, and she looked embarrassed.
She was panting heavily, watching the city gates open little by little, and the morning light came first, and then that person appeared little by little after the morning light.
He was wearing only a single shirt, with long hair draped, standing barefoot in front of the city gate, surrounded by soldiers, all wearing helmets and swords, looking serious, but he was still the same With a cynical appearance, he seems to be out of his way to see flowers, and he doesn't care much about these annoying little things.
Liu Yuru was panting heavily.
Gu Jiusi looked at her quietly, his smile slowly dissipated, and after a long time, he waved to her, his voice a little hoarse.
"Yuru," he said, "come here."
Liu Yuru didn't hesitate, she threw herself into his arms.
At that moment, the ground rumbled loudly, and Wang Shusheng shouted: "Let the arrows!"
Afterwards, tens of thousands of feather arrows with fire came flying from outside the city, and the surrounding feather arrows flew towards Gu Jiusi. At the same time, there were also soldiers erecting shields around Gu Jiusi.
In just a moment, the surrounding area was already in chaos, the sound of fighting, slashing, the sound of soldiers and horses, the surrounding soldiers and horses in chaos, the flames of the beacon, the morning light and blood rendering this morning, and the two of them had everything Unexpectedly, if no one hugs each other, it seems that everything in this world has nothing to do with them.
"I'm not here these days, are you afraid?"
Gu Jiusi hugged her, like a lost treasure. Liu Yuru choked out, "I'm not afraid?"
"How dare you?"
Gu Jiusi chuckled.
Liu Yuru sobbed and grabbed his shirt.
"I know..."
She cried, "I know you'll be back."
Hearing this, Gu Jiusi raised his hand and put it on her hair. He turned his face and lowered his head to kiss her cheek.
"Yuru is so good," he said softly, then he looked at her crying face, stared at her, and said hoarsely, "I will never let you suffer like this again. "
"You really are my heart."
Really.
It hurts a little bit, and it hurts to despair.
Even if she takes her life, she is reluctant to let this darling of the world dirty half of her skirt.
This is his wife, Liu Yuru.
