Chapter 2528 Hostages?
"Who is willing to go to Beijing with me to serve the king?" General Shao asked again, but he didn't want to embarrass the soldiers too much, so he added: "Don't force it, I won't force you."
This time, some soldiers came forward, but unfortunately there were not many, only about 500 people: "We are willing to live and die with the general!"
After hearing this, General Shao sighed in his heart, His Majesty is so unpopular... I think back in the past, Your Majesty was the successor of Da Chu personally appointed by Emperor Jingwu, and it was the Ming Lord who they and others were determined to loyal to for life, but now there are only so many people who are willing to do so. Go to Beijing with him to serve as king.
"You are already married and have a family. Take five steps back." General Shao said again.
This eliminated nearly two hundred people, and finally only about three hundred people remained.
General Shao cupped his fists and saluted the more than three hundred people, and said: "Thank you all brothers for your help. I can promise you that I will not let you die. If there are any casualties, the Shao family will give you ten times the pension money, so that your parents in your hometown will have nothing to lose." worry."
The soldiers responded: "Thank you, general!"
But more soldiers tried to persuade him: "General, do you really want to go? Your family is young and you are not in the capital as hostage, why do you still want to go?"
Will die!
General Shao said: "That's why I want to go."
Although His Majesty has all kinds of shortcomings, he is treated well and he cannot abandon His Majesty at this time.
Then he looked at the more than 300 soldiers who were going to the capital with him and said, "I can't help you this time. If you have any concerns, you don't have to go."
These more than 300 soldiers still said the same thing: "We are willing to live and die with the general!"
"Thank you." General Shao was very grateful and quickly prepared things to take them on their journey.
Ge Qianhu and Qiu Baihu hurried over to dissuade him: "General Shao, we will tell the world that it was Old General Wu who asked you to stay too."
In this way, no one will laugh at General Shao as a traitor, and he will not have to die.
But General Shao refused their good intentions and insisted on taking his soldiers to the capital to serve the king.
Gu Dalin was very worried and came to beg General Shao: "Can you take me to the capital too? There are two sons of the Gu family who are serving as officials in the capital. Once the news comes that Erlang and the others are leading troops to kill in the capital, I am afraid that Brother An will The two families, Brother Xing and Brother Xing, will be..."
Kill the flag!
He met Qin Erlang, no, it should be Wei Erlang... During this meeting, the boy started to care about their old acquaintances, and asked how many families in the village were doing?
But when he finished answering, he started to ask: "If you lead troops to the capital, what will Brother An and Brother Xing do?"
Wei Er has lived in Dafeng Village for two years and knows both Brother An and Brother Xing.
Wei Er said extremely coldly: "What should I do? Of course I will be loyal to Emperor Jingyuan until the matter is settled."
Gu Dalin didn't know what the word "loyalty" meant before, but after General Wu died, he understood that this brat Wei Er wanted to disregard the lives of Brother An and Brother Xing!
Gu Dalin was very worried, so he wanted to rush to the capital to have a look.
But he didn't dare to follow Wei Er. If he followed Wei Er, it would prove that his Gu family was a rebel, and Brother An and Brother Xing would be dead.
So he could only come and beg General Shao: "You are loyal to His Majesty. If I follow you, Your Majesty will be happier."
Once the emperor is happy, maybe he won't embarrass Brother An and Brother Xing.
But General Shao said: "Master Gu, there is no need to go. He will just stay and wait for the Marquis of Qin... Although Wei Xiao's words are unpleasant, he is right. You two sons of the Gu family are civil servants and must stay with His Majesty no matter what. , until the matter is over, otherwise even if they can survive, their reputation in Shilin will be ruined."
"Is there no other way? They are still young and have just become fathers. Do they have to die?!" Gu Dalin cried anxiously. If he had known this, he should not have let them study for merit and fame in the first place.
After gaining fame and becoming an official, you have to pay this price.
General Shao said: "Now that you have become an official, you have to bear some consequences. There is nothing you can do about it... Under this great change, it is impossible for those who have been involved to escape intact. Mr. Gu, please look away."
After saying this, he called to the soldiers: "Let's set off!"
"Wait, General Shao, wait!" Gu Dalin desperately grabbed the tail of General Shao's war horse. If Qiu Baihu hadn't grabbed him, he would have been kicked to death by the horse.
General Shao was also angry. After calming the horses, he shouted: "What are you doing? You are so crazy that you dare to pull the horse's tail!"
"I'm sorry, it's my fault." After Gu Dalin apologized, he took out another bag and stuffed it into General Shao: "It's rice candy. If they really... just give it to them, sweet mouth, and live a happy life in the next life." Be sweet and don’t suffer anymore.”
"It's done." General Shao took the bag and said to the soldiers, "Let's go!"
He left with more than 300 soldiers.
Gu Dalin couldn't wait any longer and asked Liu Erjing from the Eagle Food Gang: "Take me back so that I can meet Sanlang as soon as possible. I have to tell him about this as soon as possible. He will definitely be able to save Brother An and Xing." Brother’s life.”
Liu Erjing said: "Mr. Gu, we have sent a message to the Marquis of Qin. You don't need to worry. Just stay in Jin Dou Mansion."
Although it is cruel, General Shao is right. Since you become an official, you have to take risks. Nothing is without risks.
Gu Dalin was anxious and angry: "Sure, if you don't go, I'll go back to find Saburo myself."
Liu Erjing smiled, and immediately had Gu Dalin tied up, locked in a room, and said to him: "Mr. Gu, don't cause trouble, just stay here."
He also told the brothers of the Eagle Food Gang: "Make some liquid food and feed it to him three times a day. Don't make him hungry."
After all, he is the clan uncle of Mrs. Qin Hou and a serious relative of Qin Hou. He cannot afford to be hungry.
The people from the Eagle Food Gang responded: "Yes."
Gu Dalin was locked up like this. He was furious and scolded Wei Er several times.
Wei Er was scolded, but he did not sneeze. At this moment, he was scolding Mr. Zuo angrily: "Zuo, what do you mean by that? I know very well what Saburo is like. He will not lead troops to kill us, but only I will lead the troops south to destroy Xiong Yue!"
He pointed at Mr. Zuo and other literati and said: "You and all of you, whoever dares to say that Saburo will lead troops to destroy us, I will kill Jiqi!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was scared to death. Master Zuo and the others were even more determined not to let Wei Er become the new emperor.
The new emperor must be the kind and talkative Wei Qi.
At this time, Wei Qi came out to be a good person again and advised Wei Er: "Brother Xiao, don't be presumptuous. They are all our heroes, so we must treat them with courtesy."
Then he said to Master Zuo and the others: "Brother Xiao is right, Brother Mug will not lead troops to suppress us... But Master Zuo proposed to send troops to Dafeng Village to fetch Muge'er's relatives and friends. Son, it’s quite necessary.”
Wei Er said angrily: "My uncle doesn't believe in Sanlang either, so he wants to take his relatives and friends as hostages? But those people are also my Wei Xiao's benefactors, and I won't let anyone touch them!"
After Wei Qi heard this, he glanced at Wei Er's palms. He was still wearing those ugly leather gauntlets... It seemed that Gu Luotian's three family members were not just benefactors to him, but also There is someone he can't let go of.
Since he was someone he couldn't let go of, he had to capture him even more.
Therefore, Wei Qi said: "We brought them here not as hostages, but to protect them... General Shao has sent the news to Emperor Jingyuan that we are going to Beijing to attack the guilty emperor. As soon as Emperor Jingyuan receives the news, he will definitely send people to the capital." Fengcun is arresting people, we have to send troops to rescue them first."
After hearing this, Wei Er was somewhat moved.
