After Guo Yi led the army to the expedition, Qingzhou City was still under martial law, and Wang Xian ordered his brothers to lead troops to patrol the city intensively to prevent the spies of Jinyiwei from taking the opportunity to cause chaos.

After a peaceful night, there was no chaos in the city, but there was no news from Guo Yi's side. Wang Xian couldn't stand the anxiety of the government office, so he went to the street to inspect accompanied by Gu Xiaolian and Lingxiao.

In Qingzhou City, which was under martial law, the people were ordered to stay at home, the shops on the streets were closed, the vendors were extinct, and only the patrolling soldiers were walking back and forth.

Wang Xian has been looking at the lifeless street with wandering eyes, Gu Xiaolian and Lingxiao knew that he had been in a very low mood recently, so they obediently did not speak, and silently accompanied Wang Xian aimlessly on this long street.

Finally, Lingxiao couldn't stand the silence anymore, and pointed to a notice posted on the wall not far away, "What's that?" It's not like it's posted by the government! ”

"Indeed." Gu Xiaolian had already been in Qingzhou City, and she had seen such a notice a few times, and the lotus flower symbol on it had already told her unmistakably that it was posted by the White Lotus Sect. It's just that I don't know if the officers and soldiers didn't notice it, or they were too lazy to tear it up.

Wang Xian's attention was finally attracted by the notice, and the distance was a little far, so he walked closer and looked at the words on it. What caught the eye was the three fist-sized black characters of the 'Recruitment List'. The content at the end of the day is 'The catastrophe is coming, and the white lotus is here!' The heavens and the earth are dark, the sun and the moon are dark, and the world will change! The Buddha mother descended to earth, the banner of righteousness was held high, the tyrant was finally given the head, and all the people had to turn over! Into my White Lotus, then as a brother, the Buddha's mother drove before, people make the best use of their talents, there are powerful people to prove Arhats, dedicate themselves to the White Lotus to return to their hometown! Father, mother, wife and children are raised, drinking wine and eating meat are so happy! ’

The meaning is very simple, that is, the White Lotus Sect has recruited people, those who have the ability to come and have big officials, and those who have no ability can be loyal as long as they die, they can go to heaven. And as long as you enter the church, you can live a good life.

I have to admit that although the text of this recruitment list is vulgar, it is extremely accurate in grasping people's psychology! It is attractive to ordinary people and talents......

"Shandong White Lotus Sect this time," Gu Xiaolian looked at the recruitment list, and said quietly: "It's much better than the Shanxi White Lotus Sect." ”

"yes!" Wang Xian sighed, and the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger, all signs showed that this White Lotus Sect's rebellion was deliberate and well-planned. Whoever wants to treat them as a rabble must die himself......

Wang Xian silently tore the recruitment list off the wall, and then folded it and put it in his arms. He was going to take it back and sum it up with his brothers to see if he could take advantage of this opportunity to add some sand to the White Lotus Sect...... Although he was emotionally depressed, he never missed any chance to win......

The three of them were about to walk back, when they saw Zhou Yong running over sweating profusely, panting and saying, "Big, my lord!" I've found you! The big thing is not good, Guo Yi's people and horses are trapped in the mountains by the White Lotus Sect! ”

"What?!" Wang Xian's eyes darkened, and his eyes were about to split: "What nonsense are you talking about?!" ”

"Guo Yi's personal soldiers came to report the news after killing the bloody road, and the people are in the palace!" Zhou Yong said gloomily.

"Go back!" Wang Xian's chest tightened for a while, and he actually felt a slight sweetness in his throat, and gritted his teeth to suppress the churning qi and blood......

The prefect's yamen, Wang Xian and all his subordinates all had black faces, and listened to the bloodied soldiers with a crying voice:

"Not long after my lord went out of the city to pursue, he found traces of the White Lotus Sect, and at that time I only thought that they had looted too much and walked too slowly! Hou Ye ordered the army to chase at full speed! Before you know it, you will chase into the mountain! ”

Hearing this, Wang Xian took a heavy hand, crushed the teacup in his hand, and the blood flowed endlessly, but when he saw his face that wanted to eat people, everyone didn't dare to speak. Wang Xian only clenched his fists tightly, and continued to listen with a blank face.

"Our Hou Ye hesitated for a moment, but he saw that there were more and more abandoned vehicles on the mountain road, and the White Lotus Sect disciples who had fallen behind also confessed that the large army was ahead! Hou Ye led the army into the Yidu Mountains, and fought with the troops behind the White Lotus Sect in the mountains, and they fell into a battle, and Hou Ye completely stopped being vigilant, and ordered to chase after the White Lotus Sect, go straight to the tiger's den, and capture the Buddha Mother alive! That night, the army was led into a valley by the White Lotus Sect, and suddenly there were ambushes behind us, cutting off our back road! The pro-soldier said with a painful face: "The White Lotus Sect in front of him no longer retreated, and turned around and launched a fierce attack on us!" The combat effectiveness is the same as before, and the army still can't break through until dawn......"

"I didn't know until dawn that the valley was shaped like a gourd, as long as I guarded the mouth of the valley, I would be a man, and there would be no entry and no exit! It turned out that the White Lotus Sect had already set up a plan to lure the enemy, and deliberately introduced us into it in an attempt to annihilate us! The pro-soldier said bitterly: "Master Hou organized several breakthroughs and failed, and the last time he fought hundreds of lives before he opened a gap and sent me back for help!" ”

"How many people are back?" Wang Xian asked coldly.

"There are dozens of people who broke through, and they were all chased and intercepted by the White Lotus Sect, as long as the villain escaped by luck!" The pro-soldier said and kowtowed to Wang Xian and said, "Lord Qincha, please hurry up and send troops to save our Hou Ye!" ”

“******！” Before Wang Xian could speak, Hu Sandao couldn't help but scold first: "Save a fart!" Adults have been instructed not to enter the mountain, not to enter the mountain! The surname Guo should be on the sidelines! You deserve to die! "Hu Sandao gave the horse to Wang Xian last time, and led people back on foot, although he returned to Jinan City safely, but it took a lot of hard work, but the bamboo basket was empty, and he also took the life of Brother 100, and he has been holding back the evil fire in his heart.

"Lord-sama!" The soldier didn't dare to scold Hu Sandao, so he just begged Wang Xian and said: "You must save our Hou Ye, it's too late!" ”

"This seat is naturally duty-bound, you go down first......" Wang Xian waved his hand and sighed.

The soldier didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he retreated with a thousand thanks.

As soon as the pro-soldier left, Zhou Yong hurriedly stepped forward to bandage Wang Xian, and Wang Xian fiddled with him expressionlessly, and didn't speak for a while.

Zhou Kang, Deng Xiaoxian, Shi Wan, and Hu Sandao in the room looked at each other, but Deng Xiaoxian broke the silence: "My lord, you can't act rashly!" I'm worried that the White Lotus Sect is Xiang Zhuang Dancing Sword is intended for Pei Gong, and the real target is still an adult! ”

"Yes, my lord," Zhou Dang threw the Qingzhou topographic map on the table, pointed to the end of the narrow valley and said: "The gourd valley is here, if we want to rescue, we must also enter the valley, as long as the White Lotus Sect sets up an ambush in advance, condescending, and arrows and stones, we have no chance of winning this battle at all!" ”

"It's my lord!" Hu Sandao still has the same tone: "Guo Yi himself didn't listen to persuasion, he deserved to die!" Don't drag us in too! ”

"My lord, you are brave and loyal to the imperial court, but I don't think this imperial court has any kindness to your lord!" Shi Wan said even more angrily: "You can't be so hardworking!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became strange, Wang Xian looked at the brothers with shocked eyes, seeing that they had different expressions on their faces, but no one was surprised by Shi Wan's words. Only then did I know that the brothers saw the abnormality of his time during this time! They already knew the attitude of the imperial court towards him, but they had been holding back from saying it before......

Seeing the expression on Wang Xian's face, Deng Xiaoxian and the others glared at Shi Wan reproachfully, wanting to scold him, but Wang Xian waved his hand and said: "They are all siblings, I don't want to hide anything from you, it's just that since some things can't be changed, saying them will only annoy everyone!" ”

"My lord, I think what Shi Wan said makes sense, and you don't owe anything to the court, just sell your life, why bother to give it your life?!" Hu Sandao said in a sullen voice: "Let's not save Guo Yi's house, see what the court can do?!" It's a big deal, our brothers fall into the grass together, and we will be alive that day! ”

"Yes!" Shi Wan immediately came and said: "It's better than being this bird official, and being 10,000 times more angry by this bird!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Deng Xiaoxian hurriedly scolded: "Where is this? We're not there yet! ”

"It's too late to get there!" Shi Wan was unconvinced.

"Let's say a few words," Zhou Yong couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with not being annoying enough to be an adult?!" ”

Only then did everyone close their mouths and look at Wang Xian with different expressions. Wang Xian also looked at the brothers, sighed and said: "Since everything has been said about this, let's tell the truth, this time I came to Shandong, I have always had a premonition that there will be no good results." I'm afraid it will come true this time, but Guo Yi I can't help it, he is the marquis of the imperial court, the capital of Shandong, and he is sincerely trying to quell the rebellion. And there are 10,000 people under his command, so I have to save them! ”

"Hey......" Shi Wan and Hu Sandao sighed heavily, depressed.

"But it's none of your business." Wang Xian smiled slightly, there was no trace of hypocrisy in his tone, and said: "What I said is true, this time your task is to defend the city in Qingzhou, and I can take five thousand men and horses out of the city." ”

"What are these words, my lord?!" Hu Sandao's face darkened when he boarded, and he shouted: "I keep saying that I am brothers, why does it have nothing to do with us?!" ”

"Yes, my lord," Deng Xiaoxian also said a little angrily: "Our duty is to protect your safety, what's the matter with you leaving us in Qingzhou?!" ”

"Then it's better for your lord to leave us in the capital!" Shi Wan said in a strange voice.

"Listen to me," although Wang Xian's order was so heavily criticized for the first time in the world, his eyes were slightly red, and he choked up: "This time it is an expedition to fight, if there is no accident, it is useless for you to follow." If there is a case, among the hosts, you will still not be able to help......"

"My lord, don't say more!" Everyone didn't listen to him at all, Hu Sandao shook his head like a rattle, and said angrily: "Either you also stay in Qingzhou, or let us follow, there is no third way!" ”

"It's an order!" Wang Xian was helpless, and brought out the signboard of the Governor of Jinyiwei.

"Hehe...... "But among the people present, who is willing to live and die with him because of his identity?" Wang Xian's order is completely inappropriate. Deng Xiaoxian smiled: "My lord, forgive me. Even if you leave us in Qingzhou, as soon as the front foot goes, we will follow the back foot! ”
