Chuntao was so frightened that she suddenly heard the sound of fierce footsteps. When she turned her head, she saw a group of guards rushing up from the stairs and charging towards them with swords.
Guard Tang's head rolled down the deck and was discovered by another guard. This alerted several other guards below. The guards ran and shouted: "There is an assassin! Catch the assassin!"
Chuntao was anxious and ran into the inner room with Guo Song. In the inner room, a man in his sixties was sitting in front of the couch. A box in his hand had just been opened. There were four or five letters in it. Guo Song held his sword against him.
His throat made him unable to move.
The old man was Lu Sigong. He was awakened by the sound of fighting outside. He immediately realized that something was wrong. He took out the box from under the pillow and prepared to destroy the letters inside. However, he was still a step too late. As soon as he opened the box, Guo Song rushed in.
.
Guo Song took the box from his hand and handed it to Chuntao, "Look whose letter it is from?"
Lu Sigong immediately glared at Chuntao and cursed: "Bitch!"
Guo Song glanced back from the corner of his eye, flipped his wrist, and half of Lu Sigong's ear was cut off, causing him to scream in pain.
At this time, a group of warriors rushed outside and shouted: "Put down the sword!"
Guo Song was unmoved and said coldly to Lu Sigong: "If you don't want to die, just tell them to get out!"
Lu Sigong covered his bloody face and shouted: "Stay back!"
Several guards looked at each other and had no choice but to retreat. At this time, the soldiers also came up and more than a hundred people crowded the aisle of the ship.
"Sir, these are letters from Yuan Zai, four in total!" Chuntao said at the side.
Guo Song nodded. He moved quickly and immediately took out a rope and tied Lu Sigong behind his back. He also sprinkled some styptic powder on his ears. He pulled out a sharp poison-quenching dagger from his boot and handed it to Chuntao.
She said: "Look at him. If he dares to act recklessly, stab him and let him taste the heart of thousands of ants."
Lu Sigong glanced at the blue dagger in fear, lowered his head, his eyes were fierce, but he did not dare to move.
Guo Song put away the letter, walked to the door with his sword in hand, shouted and killed him.
The soldiers are not a worry, the key is to kill a few guards to completely control the situation.
Guo Song rushed into the flock like a fierce tiger and instantly chopped down three guards. Another guard had his right arm cut off and fled in panic.
Guo Song was worried that soldiers would break in through the window and did not dare to go far, so he quickly returned to the cabin.
The remaining three guards and soldiers did not dare to approach, and stood at the ends of both sides shouting.
The weapon in Guo Song's hand was changed to a bow, and he pulled out an arrow. As soon as he poked his head, dozens of arrows whizzed at him at the same time. Guo Song let go of the opponent's arrow rain, suddenly opened the bow, and shot out an arrow. The arrow was as fast as lightning. To the east,
A guard was directing the soldiers, and the arrow was in front of him. When he found out, he could not dodge, and the arrow hit his chest, piercing his heart. The guard screamed and fell on his back.
Guo Song shot an arrow, and immediately turned to the west, pulled out three arrows, and shot them in succession. The guard to the west was very focused. He swung his sword to split an arrow, which made his arm slightly numb, and the second arrow
The third arrow hit his eyes almost at the same time. The guard ducked to avoid the second arrow. A soldier behind him was shot and fell down the stairs. The third arrow happened to be a little to the left, and the score was exactly right.
.
The guard could no longer dodge the third arrow. "Pfft!" The arrow hit his face and penetrated his brain. The guard let out a muffled scream and was killed instantly.
The soldiers were so frightened that they all fled, and Guo Song also retreated. He had killed twelve of the thirteen guards, and one had his arm cut off. The threat was no longer great, and the rest were soldiers.
Lieutenant Weidu shouted: "Listen to the people inside, you have been surrounded and there is only one way to die. Only if you guarantee the safety of Commander Lu, we can let you leave safely!"
Guo Song snorted, there are still such stupid people.
"Who sent you?" Lu Sigong, who had been silent, finally spoke.
After all, he was an important local minister who had ruled Lingnan alone for many years. He had been guessing who sent Guo Song, Tian Bingsi, Li Zhengji, Emperor Li Yu or Prime Minister Yuanzai.
He has basically ruled out Tian Bingsi and Li Zhengji. If it was one of them, there should be a large number of ships and troops to force him to dock. Judging from the letters Guo Song snatched, if he was not Li Yu's
People, that is the people of Yuan Zai.
"Do you still need to ask me this question?" Guo Song looked at him mockingly.
"Yes, you must be sent by the emperor."
Lu Sigong changed his mind and ruled out Yuan Zai. Chuntao just called Yuan Zai by his name, so he was obviously not the person sent by Yuan Zai.
Lu Sigong pondered for a moment and then said, "What on earth are you going to do?"
Guo Song glanced at him and said: "I guess you can guess it, so I might as well tell you clearly that the emperor sent me for two purposes. One is to recover your ill-gotten gains, and the other is to get Yuan Zai and
I have obtained the evidence of your collusion, Yuan Zai's letter, and the next step is to take back your ill-gotten gains."
Lu Sigong snorted disdainfully, "Do you think you can seize thirty ships by yourself?"
Guo Song said calmly: "I can make a deal with you."
"trade?"
A sarcastic smile appeared on Lu Sigong's lips, "You might as well tell me and let me hear if there is a need for a transaction?"
Guo Song said slowly: "I found a wooden box under the table in your study."
As soon as Guo Songgang said this, Lu Sigong suddenly thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed.
Guo Song observed the words and sneered: "It seems that you should have thought of it. Yes, I got the letter from Tian Bingsi to you. It's on me. I don't know what this letter will do to you and yours when it is handed over to the emperor."
What does it mean to be a family?”
Lu Si Gong's face turned pale. He had forgotten Tian Bingsi's letter. Of course, even if he had not forgotten it and carried it with him, it would still fall into Guo Song's hands.
But Lu Sigong knew in his heart what it meant to him if these letters fell to the emperor? That would mean confiscating the family and exterminating the clan!
For a moment, his whole spirit withered, and his lips trembled, "What's your deal?"
"The troops gathered ashore and handed the fleet to me. I burned Tian Bingsi's letter."
Lu Sigong remained silent, and Guo Song said coldly: "You know very well that the most you are accused of now is taking bribes. Based on your contribution to pacifying Brother Shuhuang and protecting Lingnan, you may be able to offset your merits and demerits, and save
Life, you can live your old age peacefully, and say ten thousand steps back, even if the emperor does not tolerate you and forces you to commit suicide, your family should be fine. But if Tian Bingsi falls into the hands of the emperor, you will not only be guilty of taking advantage of it, but also guilty of conspiracy.
, not only will you die, but your descendants will not survive, and they will be executed, you should know this in your heart."
After a long time, Lu Sigong said in a hoarse voice: "Why should I believe you?"
"You have no choice. You have to believe it even if you don't believe it. Believe me, at least you still have a glimmer of hope."
After saying that, Guo Song turned around and shot an arrow. A soldier on the boat window was hit by an arrow and fell off the boat screaming. Guo Song pulled out his black sword and rushed out like chopping melons and vegetables. More than a dozen people tried to rush into the cabin.
The soldiers were killed one after another. Guo Song refused to guard the cabin door, opened his bow and fired arrows, killing seven or eight people in a row. The soldiers were so frightened that they fled back to both sides.
At this time, the scabbed wound on Guo Song's back shoulder showed signs of bursting. He had to stop and shouted loudly: "If you dare to make any small moves again, don't blame me for accidentally injuring your commander!"
Lu Sigong finally accepted the reality. He sighed and said, "Okay! I agree to your deal, what should I do?"
"Inform your fleet to anchor at Puyang Wharf, and the troops will assemble ashore."
"Then what? When will you give me those three letters?" Lu Sigong asked.
"As soon as the troops are assembled ashore and the ships are launched again, I will burn the letters."
"But at that time, the ship and I have been controlled by your people, and you will burn the letter?" Lu Sigong looked at Guo Song in disbelief.
Guo Song said coldly: "In fact, you have no choice. I can leave now. I have got the letter anyway. What will happen to you and the thirty ships? No matter where you go, you will be dead. Tian Chengsi
You and Li Zheng have not tolerated you in the first place, and your family in the capital will not survive. I just said that choosing to believe in me is your only way out. If you are not an old fool, you should understand that I am telling the truth."
When Chuntao heard that Guo Song was leaving, she was so frightened that her face turned pale. Guo Song looked at her and smiled slightly. She understood what Guo Song meant and breathed a sigh of relief. Mr. Guo did not leave her alone.
.
At this time, Lu Sigong let out a long sigh, "It seems that I have no choice but to believe in you."
Guo Song also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "This is a wise move by Commander Lu."
Guo Song escorted Lu Sigong to the door. Lu Sigong shouted loudly: "Commander Chen, please come here. I have something to say."
Not long after, the army leader, Lieutenant Chen Ke, quickly walked into the outer cabin and asked: "How are you, Marshal?"
Lu Sigong said: "The other party and I have reached a compromise, and the fleet docked in Puyang County."
"Commander, who is he?"
Captain Chen Ke glanced at Guo Song with lingering fear. He had never seen such a powerful opponent. With one person, he killed eighteen highly skilled guards, killed dozens of soldiers, and controlled the entire situation.
"He is a special envoy sent by the emperor, follow his orders!"
Chen Ke was so frightened that he turned out to be the emperor's special envoy. At this time, Guo Song took out the gold medal and showed it to him, "Do you recognize it?"
On the gold medal were written the words "It's like seeing my face". Although Chen Ke was loyal to Lu Sigong, he did not want to confront the emperor.
He nodded silently, "I humbly obey my orders!"
Chen Ke went out, the fleet played lanterns, and the fleet docked at the next southern pier, and the next southern Yellow River pier was Puyang pier.
The fleet accelerated and sailed in formation towards Puyang Pier, two hundred miles away.
