Chapter 13: Huang Rong goes out of the city to hide the truth and Zhang Qing opens a shop and robs it.
Last time Dao Ban Ba Si was robbed of prison and Guo Jing disappeared. Huang Rong asked Lu Wenhuan, the prefect of Xiangyang, for help. Lu Wenhuan was in a dilemma. The Mongolian soldiers saw the chaos in Xiangyang City, so Guo Polu withdrew his troops and took the opportunity to capture Fangzhou City.
Lu Wenhuan thought to himself: Anyway, we will face it sooner or later. It is better to solve it early than to solve it late. So Lu Wenhuan gathered the generals to discuss countermeasures. Seeing Guo Jing's innocent and tragic death, everyone felt cold in their hearts. They were quite dissatisfied with the court's attempt to frame Zhongliang and destroy the Great Wall. But the matter has come to this, and everyone has no choice but to take one step at a time, and temporarily solve this urgent need, which is the best way.
After careful discussion, the generals in Xiangyang agreed that the coach must personally come forward to calm the incident. Lu Wenhuan had no choice but to send someone to call Yeluqi first, and said with sadness on his face:
"Guo Daxia died tragically in prison. It was found that he was killed by Panpasi, a Tibetan monk sent by the Mongols. We also bear unshirkable responsibility for Guo Daxia's tragic death."
Lu Wenhuan added:
"Guo Daxia died tragically in prison. Logically, he should have sacrificed his life for the country and reported to the court to be rewarded and given a title. However, Guo Daxia was the guilty one, so it would be unseemly to report it to the court. Therefore, the generals in Xiangyang jointly decided to bury Guo Daxia in a dignified manner and erect a monument for his biography. In recognition of his righteous deeds in guarding Xiangyang. Please be sure to express my intention to your mother-in-law, Huang Nuxia, and ask her to show her condolences and obey."
Yeluqi choked up when he heard the news of his father-in-law's death. Lu Wenhuan appointed Guo Jing's good friend Niu Fu, the commander of the capital, to accompany Guo Polu to the Guo Mansion and explain the reason to Huang Rong. When Huang Rong heard the news, she was silent, with a rare calmness on her face. She stood up silently and walked into the inner room. After a while, heartbreaking cries could be heard in the room. It seemed that many women were hugging each other. Weeping together. Yeluqi and others burst into tears when they heard this cry, so pitiful and pitiful that Niu Fu was all frightened and restless.
After a while, Huang Rong, supported by Guo Fu and Guo Xiang, was dressed in white coarse cloth, with a white flower on her temples, and tears still lingering on her face. Niu Fu stood up quickly and advised:
"My condolences to Madam-in-law. Now we are facing a powerful enemy. My eldest brother was also a loyal and courageous hero during his lifetime. We who are still alive should put the overall situation first and uphold the legacy of Guo Daxia. Only then can we work together to expel foreign enemies and protect the country." Xiangyang City is safe."
Huang Rong's expression turned serious as she bowed to Niu Fu. Niu Fu hurriedly returned the gift. Huang Rong choked and said:
"Master Dutong was my late husband's best friend during his lifetime. The widow has an unkind request. She wants to escort his body away from this sad place and bury his body on Peach Blossom Island. Please ask Master Dutong to deal with it on his behalf."
Niu Fu agreed, and Huang Rong asked to meet Lu Wenhuan. Lu Wenhuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree to the interview.
Huang Rong, accompanied by Yeluqi, Guo Xiang, and Niu Fu, arrived at the Xiangyang Commandery in a sedan. Lu Wenhuan took the trouble to convey the above words to Huang Rong carefully, biting the bullet and waiting for Huang Rong to get angry.
Unexpectedly, Huang Rong said:
"The widow will find a way to get my husband's head back and bury him properly. I think my husband was a commoner. He sacrificed his life for justice in order to save the people of Xiangyang City from misery. He does not seek fame or profit, but only seeks peace in the world. . He died tragically in prison today. The survivors only ask that his body be escorted to Peach Blossom Island so that his soul can return to his hometown."
After saying that, I couldn't stop crying.
Lu Wenhuan originally thought that Huang Rong would suddenly attack and demand his life. I didn't expect that something difficult to handle would go so smoothly. I couldn't help but be overjoyed and said:
"Huang Nuxia is so reasonable and reasonable. I admire her very much. Please express my condolences to Huang Nuxia. When Huang Nuxia returns to Peach Blossom Island, I will send troops to protect your whole family. I, Lu, will bear all the needs on the way."
Huang Rong choked and said:
"No need for the commander to worry, everything will be taken care of by Quanzi Polu."
Lu Wenhuan was originally worried that someone would make irresponsible remarks if he sent troops to escort him. Now he was overjoyed to hear that Huang Rong was so easy to talk to. He ordered his subordinates to allocate five thousand taels of gold and fifty pieces of silk from the treasury and give them to Huang Rong. Huang Rong thanked her.
Yeluqi led the Beggar Clan disciples to dress up the headless body and transport it back to Guo Mansion. The next day, Huang Rong led her whole family on horses and sedans, loaded the coffin, and left Xiangyang City in a mighty manner.
When the people of Xiangyang heard that Guo Jing, the great hero Guo, had been unjustly accused and died tragically in prison, they all shed tears and stood by the roadside to watch Guo Jing's coffin leave Xiangyang.
As soon as the Guo family left, the disciples of the Beggar Clan also moved south. Other martial arts people who were invited by Guo Jingguang's "Hero Post" did not want to stay in Xiangyang and scattered like hozenes after a tree fell. After such a commotion, Xiangyang City became lifeless.
Huang Rong and his entourage had just left Xiangyang City. They felt that such a majestic southbound trip would be too public and would cause unnecessary trouble, so they decided to walk separately. One group was led by Guo Polu, who mainly escorted Huang Rong and Guo Xiang; one group was led by the brothers Wu and Dawu, who took the servants of the Guo Mansion; the other group was led by Yeluqi, who led the disciples of the Beggar Clan, and escorted the coffin. Since Guo Fu was pregnant, she also followed Yeluqi.
Let's talk about Guo Polu's journey. After walking for a day, he came to a town in the south of Xiangyang City called Qingfeng Town. When they were at an inn at the south end of Qingfeng Town, Huang Rong saw that it was getting late and ordered them to rest here. Guo Polu first went to the waiter to ask for two upper rooms. Huang Rong ordered people to carefully carry the sedan to the door of the room, and dismissed everyone. Then he and Guo Polu lifted out of the sedan a man who was covered with white cloth, with only one eye exposed. people come.
This man's eyes widened with anger and he stared at Huang Rong blankly. Huang Rong said softly:
"Brother Jing, I know you blame me. Think about it, someone has wronged you so much, and you still want to sacrifice your life for him? After you fully recover, I will cook some good dishes to compensate you."
This person is Guo Jing!
It turned out that Ban Basi went to Xiangyang City to rob a prison that night to save his disciples. As soon as he arrived at the prison, he was discovered by the Beggar Clan disciples who were guarding the area. Huang Rong had long expected that someone would come to rescue the three Tibetan demons. He immediately ordered the old naughty boy Zhou Botong to do this. Zhou Botong thought it was funny, so he rushed to the prison and saw that Guo Jing was in danger. In desperation, he grabbed Jiu Moli, one of the three Tibetan demons, as a shield. He used his hands to fight with each other to scare off Ban Basi, and then rescued Guo Jing. Huang Rong then sent Yeluqi to find a death row prisoner who was very similar in appearance and build to Guo Jing, put on Guo Jing's clothes, cut off his head, and dumped the body in the grass outside the prison. He also sent Wang Yang, the elder of the Beggar Clan, to bring the head and present it to Ban Basi. Ban Basi had always praised Haikou, but after being frustrated in prison, he felt that he could not show off his face. Someone offered his head, but he did not distinguish whether it was true or false, so he took it back and presented it to Zhang Rou. Zhang Rou had seen Ban Basi's martial arts skills and thought it would be easy for him to take Guo Jing's head. She saw that he actually brought back a head, regardless of whether it was green or red, and hung it on the flagpole for public display, hoping to use this to frustrate the Song army. Sure enough, first Guo Polu led his troops to leave Fangzhou, and then Xiangyang City was in chaos. Zhang Rou took this opportunity to defeat Fangzhou easily.
After the old naughty boy Zhou Botong was rescued, Huang Rong was worried that the old naughty boy would talk nonsense everywhere, so she sent Zhu Ziliu to escort him and Ying Gu home. Zhou Botong had seen them crying in the past few days, and none of them looked good. He couldn't laugh, and he felt uncomfortable, so he just wanted to leave.
While Huang Rong was healing Guo Jing's injuries, she tapped his dumb and fainting points to make Guo Jing unable to move. Huang Rong considered that if she continued to stay in Xiangyang City, her target would be exposed sooner or later, so she used the headless corpse as a cover to smuggle Guo Jing out.
After the family of four had dinner and settled in with Guo Jing, Huang Rong suddenly remembered something. She left Xiangyang City in a hurry without saying goodbye to Master Yideng. I wanted others to go, but I felt that if I didn't say goodbye to him in person, I would be sorry for the master's kindness in coming to Xiangyang City to help out. After thinking for a while, he said to Guo Xiang and Guo Polu:
"Xian'er, come with me to Xiangyang City. We haven't said goodbye to Master Yideng yet. Polu, just stay in the hotel and take good care of your father. We will be back soon."
Guo Xiang and Guo Polu agreed wholeheartedly. Huang Rong and Guo Xiang put on their night clothes and said goodbye to Guo Jing and his son. The mother and daughter rode the fire dragon colt together and drove back to Xiangyang.
Not to mention that Huang Rong and her daughter returned to Xiangyang City to say goodbye to Master Yideng, but that Guo Polu took care of his father in the hotel. He was considerate and meticulous. He washed his father's face, wiped his body, changed his medicine, and wrapped his body around him. After he had put on a white cloth and served his father to sleep, he stayed by his side and read without blinking.
After about a cup of tea, Guo Polu smelled a strange fragrance and felt that his whole body was slack. He couldn't open his eyelids and fell into a deep sleep.
It turned out that this hotel was a black shop run by a bandit named Zhang Qing from nearby Qingfeng Village. Today he saw Guo Polu carrying a heavy baggage and knew that it contained gold. He saw that this family was carrying guns and swords, and they were very skilled. He couldn't handle such a big business by himself, so he asked his men to go to Qingfeng Village to notify someone to help.
Before the people from Qingfeng Village arrived, Zhang Qing could no longer hold it any longer. Taking advantage of the quiet night, he first used incense to seduce Guo Polu, then broke in and took away the package. Guo Jing was still conscious at the time, but he was speechless and unable to move because his acupuncture points were tapped, so he had to watch him take it away. When Zhang Qing came to Huang Rong's mother and daughter's room, she repeated her old trick, lighting incense and breaking in through the door. But there was no sign of her mother and daughter, thinking something bad was wrong. He hurried back and tied up Guo Polu with a thick rope, and then sent people to carry him and his son to Qingfeng Village.
Exactly: I was able to escape from the tiger's pit, but I encountered a trap to catch the future. If you want to know the fate of Guo Jing and his son, please read the breakdown in the next chapter.
