Guo Song met Yang Yu's wife Zhao Xuan in a private house in the west of the city. Zhao Xuan had already learned the news of her husband's death. She cried bitterly for several days and almost had a miscarriage. If it weren't for the fact that she wanted to save the fetus in her belly, she would have collapsed.
But Zhao Xuan was in very bad spirits, looking haggard, bowing her head and saying nothing.
Guo Song read a letter left to him by Yang Yu, asking him to take care of his wife and children. This was when Yang Yu realized that something was going to happen to him, so he wrote it in advance and gave it to his wife.
Guo Song thought of the time he spent with his fourth senior brother when he was a boy, and how the fourth senior brother loved and cared for him, and he felt sad in his heart.
He suppressed the sadness in his heart and said to Zhao Xuan: "For the sake of our children, the fourth sister-in-law must take good care of her own body. This is the only bloodline of our senior brother. We have the responsibility to protect him."
Zhao Xuan nodded, "Thank you uncle for your advice. I will definitely protect the child."
Guo Song added: "After some time to recover, Xiaoyu Niang will take you to Ganzhou. From now on, you will be my family, and I will take good care of you and the child."
Zhao Xuan was extremely grateful and wanted to kneel down for Guo Song. Xiaoyu Niang quickly supported her and said, "Sister Xuan, the master doesn't like to kneel down. The key is that we protect the child well."
Zhao Xuan quickly nodded in agreement.
Guo Song comforted her for a few more words before he came out. He felt that the conditions here were not very good, so he simply asked his soldiers to rent a private courtyard in Xianyang County and buy two maids to make Zhao Xuan live more comfortably.
In fact, there is no need to be too nervous. No one on the other side has seen Zhao Xuan. Plus last night's battle, I believe Li Man will restrain himself a lot.
Guo Song has stayed in Chang'an for ** days, and Guo Ziyi's first seven days have ended. If nothing happens in the past two days, he will return to Ganzhou, but before returning to Ganzhou, he and Li Man have a good deal.
Account.
Guo Song called Xiaoyu Niang aside and asked her: "Can you find a way to get a residence for the main members of Hidden Sword Pavilion?"
Xiaoyu Niang thought for a while and said: "It seems that I know a little bit, but I need to confirm it. I will get clear information in the afternoon."
...........
At night, Li Man appeared in Yuan Mansion again. She was still a little younger and far less cunning than Yuan Xuanhu.
After listening to her story, Yuan Xuanhu nodded and said: "He is indeed vigilant. What's more, if the emperor cannot be aware of our plan, you should stop all actions immediately tomorrow. His family and friends will wait until he is killed."
It’s not too late to clean up.”
"Then is it possible that he will continue to take revenge on Hidden Sword Pavilion?"
"There will definitely be, but you have to remember my words. No matter what retaliatory measures he takes, you must endure it. I will deal with him next."
Li Man lowered his head and said, "If he goes too far, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it."
"You have to be patient if you can't help it. If you can't bear it, it will mess up the big plan. He has already doubted you, and he will definitely stimulate you and force you to reveal your true purpose. If you can't help it, and finally alert the emperor, all our efforts will be wasted.
, Do you understand?”
Li Man bit his lips and nodded silently.
Yuan Xuanhu smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry! The emperor has decided to abandon the Western Regions. The moment when Guo and Song fall out of favor is coming, and the day when we succeed is not far away."
Li Man gritted his teeth and said slowly: "On that day, I will personally dig out his heart to sacrifice to my father!"
.........
At the same moment when Li Man asked Yuan Xuanmiao for advice, Guo Song led a hundred soldiers to appear outside Juying Villa in the east of the city. Juying Villa was Yu Chaoen's former Hunting Deer Villa and now belongs to Cangjian Pavilion. Many of Li Man's backbone
My subordinates live here.
The villa covers a large area, but there is a building complex in the southwest corner, covering an area of about thirty acres. It has carved beams and painted buildings, exquisite furnishings, and is very luxurious. It is surrounded by a two-foot-high wall, which is also covered with sharp barbs.
, without extremely strong martial arts, there is no way to get in.
There are more than a hundred helmsmen and hall masters of the Hidden Sword Pavilion living here. They are basically the confidants promoted by Li Man after he came to power. They are desperadoes recruited from all over the world. They are all highly skilled in martial arts and unruly.
It was more dangerous to live in the city, so Li Man arranged for them to live outside the city.
Ordinary samurai can only rent private houses and cannot enjoy the benefits of living in such a luxurious villa.
Guo Song gave a few more instructions to the soldiers and ran towards the high wall. Looking at the back of the commander running away, everyone's hearts were in their throats, but there was nothing they could do. They were all enemies on the battlefield.
Soldier, no one can climb such a high wall.
But for Guo Song, this wall was not a problem. He easily climbed over the high wall, fell into the courtyard, and rushed towards the buildings.
Guo Song couldn't help feeling that Li Man had killed his senior brother and burned down the Golden Body Pavilion. How could he just let it go?
Although he would not be so reckless as to set fire to Tai Chi Palace, it did not mean that he would endure it. Juying Villa was his best target. On the other hand, he also wanted to drive Li Man crazy to see what she wanted to do to her.
What do you do?
It was now the third watch, and everyone was sleeping soundly. Guo Song lit fires on all sides of the building complex and used kerosene. The fire burned rapidly. There was a strong wind at night. The fire took advantage of the wind and the entire building complex began to burn rapidly. Guo Song
Then disappeared into the dark night.
The samurai who lived in the sword pavilion in the building complex were awakened by the fire and smoke, and they rushed out to escape.
At this time, a hundred soldiers holding bows and arrows set up a three-stage archery formation sixty steps away from the gate. Guo Song had already returned first, waiting for the opponent to escape with bows and arrows in hand.
The door suddenly opened, and dozens of warriors fled in panic. Guo Song gave an order, "Shoot!"
The first round of thirty arrows was shot first, and dozens of warriors screamed that they were hit. Then the second row of thirty arrows was shot, and thirty more warriors came out. The arrows were like a rain of lightning and powerful. These
Although the samurai are highly skilled in martial arts, their martial arts skills cannot be brought to the fore under the powerful bows and crossbows on the battlefield.
Three rows of soldiers fired arrows one after another, and ten other soldiers were responsible for shooting the samurai who escaped from the gate.
After five rounds of arrows were fired, dead bodies piled up in front of the gate. At least **10 warriors were shot and killed, and the remaining 20 or so people hid against the wall and did not dare to come out.
At this time, people's shouts rang out in the distance, and many farmers living nearby came to put out the fire with buckets and basins.
Seeing that it was almost done, Guo Song waved his hand and said, "Withdraw!"
The soldiers quickly followed him and evacuated the villa and disappeared into the night. Not long after, hundreds of farmers ran in front of the building complex. They saw that the gate was filled with corpses, and everyone was covered with arrows. They were shocked.
Lived...
At dawn, Li Man got the news. She was shocked and angry, and rushed to Qunying Villa with a large group of warriors.
The farmers who came to put out the fire were frightened by the piled corpses and fled away. No one dared to put out the fire. The fire burned thirty acres of buildings to a white ground.
There were a total of twenty-seven samurai who survived, and more than twenty prostitutes also survived. They couldn't outrun the samurai, so they had to hide in the pond to avoid the fire, but they escaped with their lives.
The prostitutes had already fled at dawn, and some of the samurai had also fled, leaving a dozen of them waiting for the master of the pavilion to come.
Li Man rushed to Qunying Villa with hundreds of warriors, only to see lingering smoke and part of the walls burned down, revealing the blackened ruins inside.
There were countless corpses placed at the gate, each of them covered with arrows. Li Man was so angry that her eyesight turned black and she almost fainted. Guo Song's revenge was so cruel that she simply couldn't accept it.
At this time, a hall master came forward, knelt down on one knee, and said with tears: "Pavilion Master, the opponent should be the army. A total of ninety-three of us were shot and killed, and we were all the most capable people! It was so miserable.
"
Ying Caihe next to her was even more frightened. She didn't expect Guo Song's revenge to be so fierce. Would he let her go?
"Pavilion Master, do you want to report to the emperor?" Another confidant hall master whispered.
Li Man bit her lip, but she still shook her head. The head of the family's repeated instructions last night echoed in her ears, 'If you can't bear it, you will mess up your plans. You must endure it no matter how long you can't bear it.'
"This matter ends here. No investigation or publicity is allowed. They have been dug and buried. If anyone in the court asks, they will say that it was caused by a mountain fire. Anyone who dares to talk about this again will be killed!"
After saying that, she turned around and left the villa. Everyone was shocked and did not dare to say a word, but Ying Caihe knew full well that in front of the opponent's powerful army, Li Man still gave in.
After walking a few steps, Li Man said to Caihe again: "Give up searching for that woman and stop all actions!"
"I humbly obey my orders!" Ying Caihe quickly bowed and agreed.
...........
Li Man deliberately concealed the fire at Juying Villa, which ultimately did not attract the attention of the court or cause rumors in Chang'an. However, the Cangjian Pavilion suffered heavy losses. Since the deceased were basically middle-level helmsmen, the Cangjian Pavilion suffered heavy losses for a long time.
Li Man had to give up a lot of surveillance tasks and start cultivating a new backbone of confidants.
Early the next morning, Guo Song left Chang'an with his soldiers and returned to Ganzhou.
