After a long time, Li Laiheng said in a low voice with disbelief on his face: "Is this fake? How could a dog emperor be so good to the people?"
"It's possible!" Sun Kewang also nodded in agreement, "It's very possible that he's trying to trick us again, and he's sending his troops back so that when we can go on our way with peace of mind, he'll suddenly kill someone with a carbine and come back!"
"Actually... I actually think this is true!" Li Dingguo had a different opinion, but he said with confusion on his face, "If you really want us to relax our vigilance, you can find another reason." , there is no need to falsely convey the imperial edict. Even if it is not a false imperial edict, the emperor really said so, but if the matter is false, if this matter spreads, will the emperor still be shameless? "
After he said this, Li Guo's face was very serious, and he echoed with an incredible expression: "Dingguo is right, this cavalry has been hunting us here. After hearing the imperial guard's order, if it is just to kill There is no need to talk about the emperor personally culling the locust plague in Jingyang!"
Hearing this, the youngest Ai Nengqi looked incredulous and said: "That means our Emperor Ming is a good emperor?"
According to what I just said, the emperor really sent his troops back in order to save the victims in Nanyang City, regardless of them; and there was also an emperor who personally culled locusts in Jingyang. Who can say that he is not an emperor who can do such a thing? A good emperor?
However, it is a bit hard to accept the conclusion that the current emperor is a good emperor for thieves like them.
All along, they themselves have always felt that they were forced to rebel in order to bring down the Dog Emperor. In other words, no matter what they did, they always felt that they were righteous.
But what about now?
The emperor was devoted to the people, but they had just allowed tens of thousands of people to die under Nanyang City. Based on this comparison, anyone with a sense of conscience would certainly find it difficult to accept the conclusion that this emperor was a good emperor.
No one answered Ainengqi's question, they all bowed their heads and remained silent.
After a while, Li Guo looked over and broke the silence and said, "There are no troops in sight now. Let's leave quickly!"
After hearing this, Gao Yigong nodded and said: "Take advantage of this opportunity and leave quickly, otherwise, if the officers and soldiers come back, we will be in trouble again!"
The two leaders said this, and the others were ready to take action.
But at this moment, Li Dingguo suddenly said in a low voice and quickly: "Wait a minute, there is some movement!"
When everyone heard this, they quickly fell down as they were about to stand up. Among them, Sun Kewang looked in the direction of Nanyang City and saw no one. He couldn't help but said angrily: "Dingguo, where is the movement? Don't be a frightened bird, okay?"
"Look over there!" Li Dingguo did not retaliate against this accusation, but just pointed to their side road with his hand.
When everyone saw it, they looked in the direction of his finger and immediately discovered that there were indeed people over there, about twenty people, sneaking away.
Needless to say, those people must have the same identity as them.
Li Guo looked at it intently for a while, and suddenly a look of joy appeared on his face, and he quickly said to Gao Yigong: "It seems to be Yuan Zongdi and the others!"
"Well...it's true!" Gao Yigong himself was watching carefully, a little later than Li Guo, and then confirmed happily.
After being overwhelmed by the imperial cavalry, they all fled for their lives. It was naturally a surprise to be able to meet again after the disaster.
So, after Li Guo once again confirmed that there were no officers and soldiers, he immediately jumped out and ran towards Yuan Zongdi and the others, while shouting at the top of his lungs: "Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan..."
When his voice first sounded, the people who were sneaking away in front were so frightened that they fell to the ground one after another. But soon, after they looked over here, someone couldn't help but responded with the same low voice: "A tiger, is that you? A tiger?"
Both parties were very surprised when it was confirmed. In a short time, the two parties gathered together, and the team suddenly increased to seventy or eighty people.
Li Guo discovered that there were many old brothers in Yuan Zongdi's team, such as Liu Tichun, Hao Yaoqi and others. Therefore, he was even more happy, but in the end he frowned and asked, "Isn't Liu Zongmin here?"
After hearing this, Liu Tichun said with a heavy expression: "I was caught up by the army and refused to surrender and was killed!"
Yuan Zongdi didn't care about this, but asked a little anxiously: "Where is King Chuang? Has King Chuang been rescued?"
He didn't see Li Zicheng there, and his heart sank. However, I still held on to a glimmer of hope, so I asked more questions.
Hearing this, Li Guo suddenly felt heavier. Just when he was about to speak, Li Dingguo suddenly shouted in a low voice: "There is someone!"
Upon hearing this, the group of thieves were really frightened, and they all hid again.
A voice, with a bit of a funny meaning, shouted over there: "Stop hiding, we have seen you, come over and join us!"
Li Guo and others heard the sound and looked over, only to see someone not far away from them, looking over at them, shouting, and waving at the same time.
"Do you recognize which family they are from?" Li Guo asked the people around him a little doubtfully.
No one from his side or the Eight Kings could answer immediately. It was obvious that they were not familiar with it.
Sun Kewang frowned and whispered: "What a big tone, asking us to go over and join together, making it seem like they are more important than us!"
Hearing this, Liu Wenxiu, who had been silent until now, said in a low voice with uncertainty, "It seems like a leftist?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the others couldn't help but be stunned. Just when they were taking a closer look, they were already shouting over there: "The young marshal is here, why don't you hurry up and protect him!"
Upon hearing this, everyone understood that among them, the only one with this title was Zuo Menggeng, Zuo Liangyu's son!
Knowing that Zuo Mengeng was there, Gao Yigong, Li Dingguo and others immediately became angry. Just as he was about to draw his sword and go over, Li Guo was the first to say: "Don't be impatient, go over and take a look. They probably don't know what happened before!"
If you really want to know, even if Zuo Mengeng had the courage to do so, he would not dare to greet them. Instead, he would hide as far away as he could.
Li Guo himself was a brave general, known as a tiger, and was the nephew of King Chuang. Therefore, everyone here took him as their leader. After hearing what he said, whether they understood it or not, they all listened to him. .
A group of people quickly passed by and joined the people over there.
Sure enough, Zuo Mengeng was here, and there were only a dozen people guarding him.
As soon as he saw so many of them arriving, Zuo Mengeng hurriedly said to them: "Do you have anything to eat? Hurry up and get something to eat. We are almost starving to death!"
Upon hearing this, many people's stomachs suddenly began to growl.
If others didn’t know better, they would think they were in a pond full of frogs!
Obviously, when Zuo Mengeng saw the imperial cavalry roaring in yesterday, he fled without bringing anything to eat. Over the years, I have been pampered and pampered. After being hungry for more than a day, my stomach has long been unbearable.
Young people like Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi knew that their adoptive father had been killed by their father, and they wanted to kill him immediately. How could they give him food? But Li Guo had something to say first, so they endured it. But the anger in their eyes showed their attitude.
When Zuo Mengeng saw it, he misunderstood and thought they had food, but he didn't want to give it to them and wanted to keep it for himself.
So, his face darkened and he said: "Don't forget, your leader is in the hands of my father. If you are wise, please take out the food and give it to me!"
"Yes, why don't you hurry up and get food for the young marshal?" His personal guard also said in a pretentious manner, "The young marshal has a lot, and we still need to eat!"
Yuan Zongdi and others didn't know the situation. After hearing what they said, they looked at each other one by one. Someone took out a flattened steamed bun, which seemed to have been soaked by the rain, which was a bit ugly.
Just eating like this, if it were normal times, Zuo Mengeng would not take a look at it at all. But at this time, when he saw that there was indeed something to eat, his eyes widened.
His personal guards heard this and hurried over to get it, as if they had robbed it.
But at this moment, Li Guo suddenly winked at the people around him, then walked towards Zuo Mengeng, and said loudly: "I have a lot of delicious food here..."
As soon as he heard what he said, the personal guard who was about to grab something immediately turned to him with a look of expectation on his face, hoping that if there was more food, they could get some.
However, what they never expected was that as soon as he approached, Li Guo shouted "do it" and stabbed the unsuspecting Zuo Mengeng guard in front of him with a knife.
Many people were shocked when they saw this situation. What's happening here?
Li Guo's movements were very fast. Before the others had recovered, he had already drawn out his knife and chopped down the next one.
"Ah!" A scream, the first person's voice finally woke him up. At this moment, everyone finally came to their senses, drew their knives and started to chop people.
Calculating mentally but not intentionally, and with the large number of people on Li Guo's side, within a short time, there were only four or five people guarding Zuo Mengeng.
"Yihu, are you crazy?" Zuo Mengeng hid in the crowd and shouted crazily, "Aren't you afraid that my handsome father will find out and chop off King Chuang's head?"
Liu Tichun waved his knife to wipe away the dripping blood, and then hesitantly asked Li Guo: "A tiger, do you want to trade him for King Chuang?"
In fact, Zuo Mengeng's personal guards had warned him before that there was this risk mentioned by Liu Tichun. However, Zuo Menggeng was starving to death, and he didn't care whether the wind was safe or not.
At this time, when things came to a head, he regretted not listening to the advice of his personal guards. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have dared to call these murderous thieves even if they were stupid!
After hearing Liu Tichun's question, Li Guo said with deep sorrow and hatred: "King Chuang and others have been killed by the Zuo thief!"
"Yes, we saw with our own eyes that our adoptive father was also killed by the Zuo thief!" Sun Kewang echoed.
"What?"
"What?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zongdi and others were immediately shocked and furious!
Zuo Mengeng also heard it, and at this time, he was really scared. If his father kills the leader of these bandits, then he won't be able to threaten him even if he wants to. These thieves will definitely kill him for revenge.
When people are about to drown, they want to grab even a floating straw. Zuo Mengeng came to his senses in a hurry, and with a fearful tone, he threatened without confidence: "I tell you, if I have any shortcomings, my father will definitely hunt you to the end of the world. I am the only son of my father. Do you dare to touch me?"
When Li Guo heard this, he immediately remembered what the Jin Yiwei said. The emperor wanted to let the Zuo thief taste the loss of his family and his family. If he caught Zuo Mengeng, he would be cut into pieces in front of the Zuo thief. Thinking of this, he suddenly laughed. At first he suppressed his laughter, but later, he simply let it go and started laughing wildly.
At this moment, many people were frightened and immediately looked around, fearing that officers and soldiers would suddenly appear nearby, and were attracted by Li Guo's laughter.
"A tiger, are you crazy? Why don't you keep silent!" Yuan Zongdi turned dark and said to Li Guo quickly, "Since King Chuang was killed by the Zuo thief, we will kill the thief's son and cut off his descendants. Let’s avenge King Chuang!”
After hearing this, Liu Tichun nodded with hatred and immediately agreed: "Yes, kill this little brat and avenge King Chuang!"
"Avenge our adoptive father too!" Sun Kewang followed up and said, "Kill him to death!"
…
Many people were talking angrily and expressing their thoughts of hacking Zuo Mengeng to death. This made the faces of the few people surrounded become extremely pale! They understood that they were probably doomed!
However, unexpectedly, Li Guo shook his head and said, "Don't worry, tie up this little brat first!"
The others were puzzled, but they were not slow in their actions. They swarmed up and hacked several guards to death with random swords, leaving only Zuo Mengeng. According to Li Guo's words, they tied him up.
During this process, Liu Tichun said a little puzzled: "We have no troops at the moment and are in a hurry. Why are we carrying such a burden? We can just chop it with a knife!"
At this point, he thought of something, and then suggested: "If you feel that you are not relieved after one chop, just chop a few more times."
Zuo Mengeng wanted to faint when he heard this, but it was not possible to faint so easily. Thinking about how many times he would have to be hacked to death by these thieves, he couldn't help but tremble with his legs.
After seeing Zuo Mengeng tied up, Li Guo suddenly threw away the bloody knife, and then said to Liu Tichun and others: "I won't leave, leave this little bastard to me, you go!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Tichun and others were stunned. What did this mean?
However, Gao Yigong and others could probably guess what Li Guo wanted to do, and couldn't help but frown.
"I'm not leaving either, you go!" Suddenly, Li Dingguo also spoke to Sun Kewang and others, "I want to watch him be cut to pieces by a thousand knives in front of the Zuo thieves!"
Having said this, he paused, and then said with a strange emotion: "By the way, let's see what kind of person the emperor is!"
