The return of the son-in-law

If they fought alone, any one of these traitors would be enough for the people of Tonghua County to pay for a pot.But now in a scuffle, Tonghua County has a great advantage in terms of the number of people.After a while, a group of rebels were taken down.

Guo Zhan'an first briefly checked the injuries of the people, and found that many people in Tonghua County were injured, but fortunately they were not fatal, so he felt relieved.

He asked the wounded to go back to bandage first, leaving a group of uninjured or only slightly wounded. He combined the corpses of the rebels together, and tied up the four living rebels, and handed them over to Li Hu and his brothers. take into custody.

In order to prevent any traitors from taking advantage of the chaos and hiding, Guo Zhanan checked the neighborhood carefully.When he walked to the thatched hut that had been crushed by stones, a figure suddenly sprang out from the shadows, with the sword in his hand like a thunderbolt, he charged straight at Guo Zhan'an!

Guo Zhanan heard the wind and raised his sword to block it, but it was too late.At this time, everyone was more than ten steps away from Guo Zhan'an. Li Hu was the first to react, and it was too late to jump over to stop them!

At the very moment, a small figure suddenly appeared diagonally from behind, and with a short knife in his hand, he almost hit the traitor's calf!

The traitor suffered pain in his calf, and his whole figure was tilted, but he still stabbed his sword towards Guo Zhan'an with all his might!

However, this had given Guo Zhanan enough time, he stepped back with his left foot, turned his body sideways, and the long sword passed his chest.Afterwards, Guo Zhan'an kicked the traitor to the ground, and then stabbed the sword into the traitor's chest!

The short figure pounced on it again, snatched the traitor's long sword that fell on the ground, and kicked the traitor's injured calf twice: "Let you bully my brother!"

Guo Zhan'an was still in shock, and when he took a closer look, he realized that this figure was actually Huo Yu!

Guo Zhanan was terrified immediately, pulled Huo Yu to his side, and scolded: "What kind of hero are you running up here to play? Who told you to come here?"

Huo Yu lost the courage he had just now. He took the long sword and threw it, and even if he didn't throw it, he justified himself in a low voice: "If I don't come, what if my brother is injured?"

Guo Zhan'an was left speechless by Huo Yu's question, and raised his eyebrows: "You dare to refute my words now?"

Huo Yu was full of grievances: "I didn't, I just, just worried about brother."

Guo Zhan'an's heart warmed up, and the worry that had been covered up by the anger crept up his brows.But he changed his mind, if he didn't teach Huo Yu a lesson this time, Huo Yu might make even more dangerous moves in the future!

So, Guo Zhanan still had a straight face, and reprimanded: "Who allowed you to come? Do you know how dangerous it was just now? What if I hurt you?"

Huo Yu saw that the man was going to hurt Guo Zhan'an just now, so he rushed forward without thinking about other things, but now that he thinks about it, he was also frightened for a while.

He is not a fool, he cherished his life very much, but when he saw that Guo Zhanan was about to be injured, he completely forgot that if he rushed to stop him, he might be injured himself.

Seeing that Huo Yu's face turned pale, Guo Zhan'an knew that the little guy was afraid, so he softened his tone and said, "Just this time, let's not make an exception."

Huo Yu nodded, and then said worriedly: "My brother is not an example. If my brother is injured, I will feel sorry for him."

Guo Zhanan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why do you feel sorry for me? When you grow up, you will feel sorry for your wife."

Huo Yu smiled, but did not answer.

Guo Zhan'an only thought that he was still afraid, and didn't say anything more. He just led Huo Yu, asked Li Hu to take the four surviving rebels back, and asked Chen Xiehao to take the rebels' corpses. , temporarily placed in Yizhuang in the county, under the care of special personnel.

Guo Zhanan took Huo Yu back to the county government office, and he asked Huo Yu to take a bath and change clothes first, to wash off the faint smell of blood on his body, so as not to worry about Elder Sun.

Guo Zhan'an himself went back to his study and wrote a note, in which he clearly wrote down the ins and outs of the incident, but changed the three booklets and a large amount of gold and silver he found in the Mountain of No Return to the one found by someone. Guanyin, he was afraid that it was the previous county magistrate who was greedy for ink, so after careful investigation, he discovered the secret in the basement.

He is the attendant of Li Shaojun, the only legitimate son in the world. When he was in the capital, he also served in the Imperial Academy, so he knew a thing or two about the emperor's temperament.Emperor Li Chonghao is suspicious by nature and loves to vent his anger very much. If he picks out his own faults, catches himself not reporting the matter in time after discovering it, and blames Li Shaojun in the northwest, it will be bad.

When the ink was dry, Guo Zhanan put the booklet together with the brochure close to his body, called Jia Huan, and asked him to prepare a fast horse, some dry food, and pack a simple bag for himself.

Jia Huan probably knew what Guo Zhanan was going to do, so he didn't ask much, and went down to prepare hastily after receiving the order.

Guo Zhanan went to Li Hu again. There was no prison in Tonghua County, so Li Hu made his own decision and took his brothers to lock the four rebels into the stone house where he kept pickles for the winter.

Guo Zhanan specially called Li Hu aside, and told him about his absence in Tonghua County: "The life and death of these four people is related to the life and death of the entire Tonghua County. If I report to the emperor, most of the officialdom will be shaken. You have a great responsibility, and during my absence, absolutely no one can get in touch with them, especially those who lie about being ordered by the imperial court and want to escort them to Beijing."

Knowing the importance of this matter, Li Hu nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will leave this matter to Li Hu. My lord can trust me, and I can also trust my brothers. When my lord comes back, these four people only need half Well, just look for me, my lord, even if I, Li Hu, will be hacked to pieces, I will give you an explanation!"

Guo Zhan'an nodded and said, "I'm relieved. If someone really asks you for these four people falsely, no matter what means you use, you will have to send them away. It's best to write down the names of these people."

Li Hu responded one by one, and said: "My lord, how about I take these four people into the Mountain of No Return? I am most familiar with the Mountain of No Return. I am not afraid that these four people will escape, and it will be difficult for others to find these four rebels. "

Guo Zhan'an shook his head and said, "No, there are too many people, but they have an estimate. I will ask Chen Xiehao to help you. There is no room for maneuver in this matter. He is on the same boat as us now. I am not afraid that he will not be dedicated."

Seeing what Guo Zhanan said, Li Hu stopped insisting, and said instead: "Your Excellency, you must be careful where you go when you go to Beijing to report to the Holy Spirit. It's a pity that I, Li Hu, have to guard these four rebels. Your Excellency needs to bring a few more with you." Good skills, so as not to be plotted against on the road."

Guo Zhanan nodded. He had his own plans, but he was not going to tell Li Hu.

When Guo Zhanan returned to the county office, Jia Huan had already packed everything up, but he looked embarrassed, and whispered to Guo Zhanan, "Young master, the second young master knew that you were going to travel far, so he also packed his luggage and said he wanted to go with you." go."

Guo Zhanan raised his eyebrows: "Nonsense!"

Jia Huan said again: "Second Young Master insists on going with you, I can't persuade you no matter what, he is waiting for you outside your house right now."

Guo Zhanan said: "You don't need to worry about this matter, go and do your work."

Just then Jia Huan left.

Huo Yu was really there outside Guo Zhanan's house.He was sitting on the ground, with a small luggage in front of him, and was dozing off in every possible way.

Guo Zhanan stepped forward and said coldly, "Have you finished your homework today?"

Huo Yu woke up with a jolt, "It's done, it's done, brother, when shall we go out?"

Guo Zhan'an ignored him, opened the door and entered the room, where Jia Huan's packed luggage was placed on the table.Without saying a word, he turned around and left with his luggage, but was unexpectedly hugged tightly by Huo Yu.

"Brother, let me go, I won't cause trouble for you."

Seeing that Guo Zhan'an was silent, Huo Yu plucked up his courage, and said, "Brother, don't forget, I was the one who saved my brother in the village. Today, I'm also the one who saved my brother."

Guo Zhanan laughed back angrily: "Why, what do you mean, you are kind to me, so I must listen to you?"

Huo Yu shook his head again and again: "I just want to say, brother, you can bring me with you, I can help you. Brother, you don't know, I have learned martial arts from the martial arts master these few days, and I have made great progress. I won't cause trouble for my brother. of!"

Guo Zhanan frowned: "You are so young, how can you help? I have to go to the capital day and night, wouldn't it be a burden to take it?"

Huo Yu said dissatisfiedly: "My brother underestimated me too much. If you can do it, so can I. Brother, didn't you say that you want us two brothers to work together, why don't you take me now?"

Guo Zhan'an originally planned to leave Huo Yu behind and go straight away on a fast horse.But after thinking about it, Huo Yu is very stubborn in some things, and now that he is gone, I am afraid that Huo Yu will rush to the capital by walking on both feet.

"Forget it, I'll ask Jia Huan to prepare another fast horse for you, and we'll set off immediately."

Only then did Huo Yu let go, and he secretly laughed.

Guo Zhan'an didn't know, but Huo Yu understood very well in his heart, no matter how he treats others, his brother has always been cold-hearted towards him, but it's okay!Now he deliberately pretends to be indifferent. After all, he is worried about himself, not because he dislikes himself!

Jia Huan's work was efficient, Guo Zhan'an ordered him to go on, but in a short while another shorter horse was ready, which was just right for Huo Yu.

Huo Yu was no stranger to riding a horse when he was in the cottage.He was young and usually restrained by Elder Sun, but now that he was riding a horse, his face was full of unconcealable excitement.

On the other hand, it was Elder Sun, who stood aside reluctantly, his face darkened.

"My lord, Yu'er insists on going, I just hope that my lord can take care of me a little bit more. If Yu'er can't bear it, give him some money and let him come back."

Guo Zhanan agreed verbally, but he knew in his heart that Huo Yu was not such a person who would give up lightly. He said that he would go to the capital with him, and he would definitely do it unless he broke his leg.

Looking at Huo Yu's immature but resolute little face on the horse's back, and looking at Elder Sun's worried face beside him, Guo Zhan'an felt a little envious because Huo Yu was cared for by others, and also resented because of Elder Sun's doting on Huo Yu that was almost fettered. Moved and worried.

Fortunately, everything was as Guo Zhanan expected, he shot very fast, and the opponent was caught off guard.Before the people behind the scene could react, he had already entered the capital with Huo Yu.

On the surface, Yue An, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was loyal to the current emperor Li Chonghao, but Guo Zhanan knew that what Yue An really supported was the third prince Li Shaojun.In the capital, Yue An is a very rare and trustworthy person.

Therefore, Guo Zhanan went to the Ministry of Officials to report everything, just waiting for the announcement.
