At this time, Xu Zengshou also ran in, and his expression was still a little flustered.
"Sir, there are at least three to four hundred people outside dressed as ordinary people, but they don't act like ordinary people. Now they are pouring oil into the county government office."
"Look, I'm here for you, sir. I guess someone jumped over the wall and made the wrong idea, trying to get us to support him."
This makes it clear that they are preparing to burn the imperial envoy.
As long as your eyes are not blind, you can see clearly.
Hearing this, Gu Chen stood up quickly and grabbed Xu Zengshou's shoulders. Before he could ask, he already knew what he wanted to ask.
"Sir, the back door of the county government office has been blocked by their people. They also poured oil and set fire to it. We will definitely not be able to get out."
"Uncle Liao's camp is sixty miles away from us. Our people have been walking for an hour and they have just arrived at Uncle Liao's camp."
"Even if Uncle Liao rides his thousand-mile horse, it will still take nearly half an hour to arrive. I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand half an hour."
It was okay for the government officials to bully the common people, but the people outside the door were obviously not ordinary common people.
Ordinary people don't have such a strong body, and they set fire to them as soon as they come up, and the target is directly aimed at the county government.
If you rush out now, you will definitely be beaten to death, and if you stay in the county government office, you will definitely be burned to death.
Even if they don't burn to death, they will definitely rush in if the door is burned down, and they will be killed by then.
You have to think of a way!
Gu Chen was panicking to death, but he still managed to hold on and ordered: "Even if we set fire to the county government office, we won't be able to burn it in in a short time."
"Everyone wet themselves with water to avoid being burned by the fire."
"There is no other way now. We can only try to delay it as long as possible, and then wait for Marquis Deqing to come and save us."
"Let everyone do it. Our people will be guarding the four gates on the east, west, left and right. Anyone who climbs over the wall and enters will be killed."
Of course, the people he mentioned were the guards given by Zhu Yuanzhang.
The county government officials are not trustworthy, and there is no guarantee that they have any dealings with the person named Xue.
"Let's take out all the oil in the county government and pour it on them. If they want to burn us to death, we will burn them to death too."
"Go quickly!"
There were twenty government officials who stayed behind at the county government office, twenty-nine guards from the capital, and one went to find Liao Yongzhong and Zhou Dexing.
If he hadn't been intercepted and died on the way, it wouldn't be a problem to delay for half an hour.
Gu Chen grabbed the white-faced steamed bun on the table, put it into his mouth and started to nibble on it.
It is a bad sign to have little food when there is a big event, so you still have to eat dinner.
After finishing the steamed buns in three to five times, Gu Chen didn't forget to pour himself a cup of hot tea.
Then he picked up the knife used for self-defense, walked out of the house and saw that the courtyard wall and the Yamen were filled with flames.
"Gou Guan, get out of Fujian, Gou Guan, get out of Fujian, Gou Guan..."
"Bang bang bang!"
There were loud curses outside, and there was the sound of wood hitting the door. Some people kept climbing in from the surrounding walls and were stabbed to death by the guards.
This battle made Gu Chen couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and then he spat out the quintessence of Chinese culture.
"Damn it, I'm so hated by people."
Xu Zengshou had just killed a man who climbed over the wall and shouted when he saw him coming out.
"Sir, please go back to the house quickly. These people are here for you. Don't hurt you."
Although he was younger, he was not afraid of these vicious people at all. Instead, he held a sword and protected Gu Chen like an adult.
Because his father Xu Da once said that everything in the Xu family was given by His Majesty.
The Xu family can only obey His Majesty's orders. They must do what His Majesty asks them to do, even if they risk their lives. Otherwise, it will be disloyal and unjust.
Xu Zengshou heard it and remembered it in his heart.
Now that His Majesty asked him to protect Gu Chen, he must protect him.
Even if he had to die today, he would die with Gu Chen.
Only in this way can the Xu family be able to bear the title of loyalty and the title of pure minister.
Gu Chen couldn't help but feel a little moved after hearing this. What is his identity?
He is the son of the dignified Duke of Wei, and he calls Lao Zhu the imperial uncle.
What is your identity?
He is just a seventh-grade petty official.
Although he has a lower position and more power, he wouldn't let the son of the duke risk his life to protect him, right?
This kid can handle it!
"Mr. Xu, there seems to be some bows and arrows in the yamen's armory. Just find a few good archers and shoot them down."
I'm touched, but you'd better not risk your life by fighting someone.
If he really wanted to protect him, he would be killed by these people.
Then Xu Da still had to hate himself, and Princess Yan also had to hate herself.
Xu Miaoyun hated herself, so Zhu Di had to hate herself too?
Of course, the premise is that you live that long.
Only then did Xu Zengshou remember that he had not seen the weapons depot in the county government office.
He quickly took people to open it, but when he opened the armory, he found that it was empty and there was nothing.
"Damn it, Master Gu, they have planned this for a long time!"
A real, real murder.
Xu Zengshou gritted his teeth with hatred. He was so brave with the surname Xue.
It seems that he really doesn't want the Nine Clans anymore.
The other three censors are probably in danger now.
Ningde County Yamen has been under construction for many years, and the wood of the gate looks good from the outside.
In fact, it's already rotten inside and won't last long at all.
Xu Zengshou looked at the frail Gu Chen, and after some thought, he gave away his beloved sword.
"Master Gu, your knife is useless."
"You take this sword given by His Majesty. If the door is opened in a while, you will follow me closely, you know?"
The scabbard with many jewels embedded in it was thrown to the ground. After Xu Zengshou put the sword into Gu Chen's arms, he went to help with his silver spear.
"Brothers, hold on, fight as long as you can. As long as they can't get in, we still have hope. We must protect you."
There was a sneaky government servant who wanted to open the door for people outside.
After being discovered by Xu Zengshou, he was sent to the west with one shot.
Gu Chen stood there with a sword in his hand. Seeing how brave the young boy was to protect himself, he couldn't help but feel a little passionate. He gritted his teeth and rushed forward.
Isn’t it just about killing people?
So can he!
Well, just think of it as self-defense!
When Gu Chen and Liao Yongzhong were in Zhuang Lang, they also learned a few tricks to strengthen their bodies.
Although it's not as good as professional ones, it's pretty good for self-defense.
Facts have proved that as long as you are quick, accurate and ruthless, and don't treat the other party as a human being.
It is not too difficult for a weak scholar like Gu Chen to kill people.
Xu Zengshou was relieved to see him so brave, he looked down upon him the most.
He is a scholar who is said to be a scholar on weekdays, but who hides and trembles when something happens.
No matter how hard they try, dozens of people are still unable to focus against hundreds of prepared people, and the door is already shaky at this time.
At this time, only two quarters of an hour had passed.
"boom!"
The door collapsed at this moment, and the mob rushed in like wolves.
First, several government officials were hacked to death, and the throats of two guards were also cut.
"Sir, be careful!"
Xu Zengshou pulled Gu Chen behind him, and then all the guards quickly formed a circle, keeping Gu Chen firmly in the middle.
Unfortunately, we were outnumbered and the enemy was outnumbered, so this method was completely disrupted after a short time.
"Ah...kill..."
Xu Zengshou took advantage of everyone's red eyes and quickly pulled Gu Chen to change positions, then quickly pulled him through the sea of fire and ran towards the door.
Presumably that person didn't think they could survive, so he didn't have any backup plans. By then, several horses were parked at the yamen gate.
"Sir, get on your horse quickly. After you leave the city, keep walking to the east. You will definitely meet Uncle Liao. Go quickly, I will stay behind."
As he spoke, he sent Gu Chen to the horse, and Gu Chen quickly pulled him.
"Mr. Xu, if we want to leave, we have to go together. If you have any shortcomings, I can't explain it to Wei Guogong, or His Majesty to King Yan."
He is only sixteen years old this year, but he is already thirty-one.
How could he have the nerve to let someone half his size die for him?
"Stop being so nagging." Xu Zengshou suddenly yelled, "If you don't leave, no one will be able to leave. Please leave quickly."
"That dog officer wants to run away, kill him quickly..."
At this time, someone discovered them and rushed towards them with a knife.
