Chapter 22 Life and Death
"Miss, will we die?"
"Diet? Maybe it's liberation, but what I fear the most is that I can't live or die!"
The girl bit her lips and said this. The little maid in green clothes next to her turned her eyes and suddenly understood what she meant. Her mouth widened and her tongue forgot to take it back.
"Sister, are you being possessed by evil spirits?" the maid in red asked in confusion.
Suddenly the carriage was upside down, and the green-clothed maid screamed, and a trace of blood flowed out of her tongue. She didn't care about the pain, but instead hugged her sister, tears rolling like pearls, and fragrant cheeks.
"Don't you know what the silly sister, those high-ranking officials who committed crimes will end with their families?"
When the maid in red heard this, she was so scared that she was so scared that she heard from her mother that those people would be sold to the Jiaofangsi. It was not a place where people could stay, but a living hell that could eat people without spitting out bones!
"Sister, our family has not committed any crime. Will it be sold?"
Facing her sister's question, the maid in green clothes didn't know, but just cried bitterly. The lady beside her sighed: "It's worse than being sold. Historical books say that Bianliang in the Northern Song Dynasty was occupied by the Jin people. The concubines and maids in the palace, even the imperial concubines and queens, had no good ending!"
"ah!"
The maid in red also remembered the reckless man she met not long ago, her vicious, ugly and rough hand. She grabbed her and her sister's wrists, and her eyes staring at the lady were so greedy, as if she was a demon!
"Miss, we can, not..."
The girl shook her head in pain, and her eyes unconsciously looked out of the carriage. A tall figure was riding on a war horse, directing the carriage to escape. What would her fate be like? I am afraid it was all in this person's thoughts. The girl clearly remembered that when she lifted the curtain, the two people looked at each other.
It was a heroic young, strong and strong man, more courageous and stronger than all the men she had ever seen. It was completely different from those gentle Confucian scholars and also different from those playboys...
The girl's mood became more and more upset, and she didn't know whether it was a blessing or a disaster. The carriage was still running, but in an instant, the carriage carried them out of the city gate, onto the suspension bridge, and left the capital where they had lived for more than ten years.
Gu Zhenhua got more than 40 carriages from Xu Fang and Gao Hongtu, found seventy or eighty carriages from Wanggong Factory, and grabbed another thirty or forty carriages from Liu Zongmin. In total, he already had one hundred and sixty carriages and more than 100 mules and horses for transporting supplies, and the team was already quite large.
The things in the car are the capital for Gu Zhenhua to start his business, so there must be no problems. Therefore, Gu Zhenhua personally led the musketeers and cavalry to cut off the rear. Xue Biao, Gao Hongtu, Xie Bin, Xu Fang, Sun Cheng, Lu Yong and others commanded separately, and each person was responsible for a period of time to ensure that there was no accident.
Just when Gu Zhenhua and the others left the city, the noble officials finally saw the opportunity. They were killed by the Dashun Army, but as they saw the city gate closed, these guys had already given up.
But Gu Zhenhua suddenly came back and repelled the Dashun Army and seized the city gate. These guys rushed up like they had caught a life-saving straw.
They shouted and neighed, and the order at the city gate collapsed instantly, and everyone rushed out. Gu Zhenhua's eyes turned red when he saw it. He suddenly activated the war horse and stood in front of these people.
"Stop it all, who dares to collide the convoy? This is your role model!"
As Gu Zhenhua said, waving his waist knife, he slashed two servants in a row, and his bloody head fell to the ground. The nobles finally stopped, but some people were still dissatisfied.
A middle-aged man in his forties walked to the opposite side of Gu Zhenhua with his courage. He said with a slight smile: "From your actions, you must be a minister of the Ming Dynasty. If you are not talented, you are a Marquis of Chengyang, and you have inherited the title of Chengyang. In normal times, when you see this Marquis, you may have to bow. But this is not important in the chaotic times in front of you, but the superiors and subordinates should always pay attention to it. Shouldn't we ministers who have been loyal to the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years go out of the city first? How do people in the world think of you?"
As soon as the Chengyang Hou spoke, the others immediately followed and said loudly: "That's right, you can't just let your convoy leave the city. We should let us leave first, otherwise we will be investigated in the future and the charge of framed heroes will not be able to escape!"
The nobles clamored, and several officials who fled to escape also shouted: "We read the books of sages. The more chaotic we are, the more we need to repay you, let us go out first."
"No one matters. If you transport so many big trucks, are you carrying gold, silver and treasures? You are simply greedy for money and forget your righteousness, unfaithfulness and filial piety..."
These guys were already furious and couldn't help but curse. After hearing this, Gu Zhenhua felt a little ridiculous. No wonder the Ming Dynasty was destroyed. With these miscellaneous groups, it was impossible to tolerate the country without destroying it.
"Don't you look in the mirror? Are you all three-year-old dolls? If you don't have the ability to face Dashunjun, you have the courage to be arrogant towards your own people? Do you think I have the kindness that loves my children and will you be careful of you?"
Gu Zhenhua sneered and said, "Tell you, you are all wrong. Get out of here immediately, otherwise you will keep your head!"
All the noble officials were exposed to their fierce and timid skin. Especially Chengyang Hou, who pointed at Gu Zhenhua and asked loudly: "You are still not a minister of the Ming Dynasty. How dare you be so arrogant? I want to impeach..."
Before he finished his work, Gu Zhenhua waved his waist knife and stroked it against his shoulders. His big head flew out, and blood rose more than one meter high. The head fell to the ground, and his eyes were still wide open, and he didn't believe it was true.
The others were also shocked. These guys were sure that Gu Zhenhua was a minister of the Ming Dynasty and would definitely not dare to do anything to them. Therefore, they dared to be arrogant. However, they killed a marquis without blinking, which really subverted their imagination. All of these people couldn't help but retreat and dared not provoke this evil star.
"Hmph, wait for me honestly. My convoy leaves the city. You go out again. If you dare to interfere with the order, you will be killed without mercy!"
Gods and ghosts are afraid of evil people, and these nobles are completely shocked. Gu Zhenhua's convoy is getting faster and faster, and more than a hundred carriages have already gone out in a blink of an eye. Seeing the victory in sight, Gu Zhenhua was also happy.
But he didn't know that Li Yan was dispatching troops at this time. He was different from those arrogant and arrogant generals in the camp. Since fighting with Gu Zhenhua, Li Yan has been sure that this guy was the one who made trouble in the city.
Especially when he saw Gu Zhenhua's carriages, he knew very well that there were already key things in it. Although he was beaten back by Gu Zhenhua, Li Yan obviously would not let him leave the city easily.
"Give an order outside the city to transfer two licensed vehicles to come over and seal the suspension bridge from outside!"
Although the city gate was controlled, Li Yan could still tie people out of the city wall. After the soldiers left the city, they immediately found the troops that had originally sieged the city as quickly as possible. These Dashun troops were preparing to enter the city to enjoy wealth and glory, but suddenly received orders and could only mobilize them.
Two huge licensed cars pushed towards the suspension bridge. The so-called licensed cars were wooden shelves, with cowhide on the outside, which could defend against bows and arrows and muskets. When siege, they were pushed in front and acted as cover.
Li Yan was indeed agile. He knew that there were not many soldiers in his hands and it was difficult to resist the sharp muskets, so he started from outside the city. The two license plate cars were like two gates. As long as they were pushed to the suspension bridge, they could block the route out of the city and defend against the attack of muskets. In this way, the people in the city would become turtles in the jar.
The wheels of the license plate cart rolled over the ground and made a low sound. More than two hundred soldiers from the Dashun Army followed behind and rushed towards Chaoyangmen.
At this time, Sun Cheng and Lu Yong had already taken the vanguard out of the city, and Xue Biao and others rushed out one after another. Only Gu Zhenhua was left in the city, as well as more than thirty chariots and some musketeers.
When Sun Cheng and his friends saw the huge license plate rushing over, their faces changed suddenly. Sun Cheng couldn't help but exclaim: "No, the fourth brother is in danger!"
"Brother, what should I do?"
"What else can I do? Kill it, no matter what, you can't let these two big guys approach the city gate!"
Sun Cheng and Lu Yong urged their war horses to rush up to the license plate cart regardless of the pain. However, these elite Dashun troops were not vegetarians, and they immediately shot towards Sun Cheng and the others.
Xue Biao, who was charging, suddenly groaned. An arrow was shot in his lower abdomen, and blood had flowed out. The others were injured and could not rush through at all. The two license plate cars were still moving towards the suspension bridge quickly, and they saw that the only way to live was blocked again.
