Chapter 38 The Guest of Honor
Wu Sangui holds 50,000 elite Guanning Army, and Li Zicheng is even more in a momentum to sweep the world. Compared with this strong man, Gu Zhenhua has nothing.
If you want to deal with them, you must firmly occupy the righteousness and become a tiger's skin. Otherwise, once he is cowardly, he will be crushed like an ant, without even leaving any trace.
In fact, Gu Zhenhua felt that he was even a bit like Zhuge Liang in the Battle of Red Cliff. He ran to Dongwu to make a fortune, but Wu Sangui was much deeper than Zhou Yu. He could not inspire him with the righteousness of the monarch and his subjects. He said that Chen Yuanyuan did not believe it, and he would not be able to mock him as cowardly. He was really a piece of hob meat and deserved to be the hero who could be the number one traitor!
"Although Ping Xibo was granted a title, he had not even worn a set of official official uniforms from the Ming Dynasty. Now you are going to surrender to the King of Chuang. I wonder if you can lend Ping Xibo's official uniforms to me and let me wear this outfit to meet the late emperor and the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty."
Wu Sangui didn't say a word, and was silent for a while before nodding slightly. A soldier had already hurriedly brought a set of Wu Sangui's official uniforms. Gu Zhenhua was much taller than Wu Sangui and could not wear them at all. He could only put his clothes on his body.
But Gu Zhenhua's movements were extremely slow and meticulous, as if he was nostalgic for the Ming Dynasty, but in fact he was just delaying time. His heart was thumping: God, I can't be so worried, send a reinforcement quickly!
Of course, Gu Zhenhua couldn't procrastinate for too long. He sat upright on the ground in his official uniform, with his waist straight.
Looking at the south, he laughed loudly: "I firmly believe that sooner or later, the southern guilds swept away the smoke and dust and revive the Ming Dynasty!"
At this time, the executioner had already raised the ghost-headed knife high: "Sir Gu, the villain is sending you on your way!"
The ghost-headed sword was raised high, shining with a cold light, like a thunderbolt. As the hand lifted the sword and fell, the head was about to disappear.
At the critical moment, a war horse ran over from a distance. The knight on the horse was shaking. When he arrived at the camp gate, he fell off the horse and was covered in mud. The man didn't care about the pain. He grinned and cried: "Young Master, the master was caught by a thief. You should save the master!"
When Wu Sangui heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning and ran to the front of the man in three or two steps.
"Wu An, what you said is true. How is the young lady?"
"Young Master, a guy named Liu Zongmin rushed into the mansion and snatched the young lady away."
"Li Zicheng, you're too bullying!" Gu Zhenhua's words may not be believed, but Wu An was Wu Xiang's old subordinate. He has been at home for many years. Seeing Wu Sangui grow up, how could he not believe his words! Wu Sangui roared at the sky like a wounded beast.
"Forcing the late emperor to death, arresting his father, looting his wife, Li Zicheng, I and you are irreconcilable, irreconcilable!"
Wu Sangui roared like crazy, and everyone present also filled his chest with anger, especially those who were unwilling to defect to Li Zicheng, who got what they wanted.
However, among these people, it was Gu Zhenhua who was happy in his heart. It seemed that his head was saved. Sure enough, Wu Sangui roared and turned around suddenly.
"Tie these two messengers to me!"
Without saying a word, the soldiers rushed up and pressed Li Jia and Chen Yi to the ground, tied it up like rice dumplings.
Wu Sangui suddenly walked to Gu Zhenhua quickly and knelt on one knee on the ground. Everyone around him was stunned and couldn't help but scream.
"Master!"
"Don't say much, Mr. Gu, Sangui is offended. You are the loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. Sangui is ashamed, hesitant, and swaying, and actually attempts to surrender to the thieves. He is so ashamed that he apologized to you!"
Gu Zhenhua hurriedly supported Wu Sangui and smiled: "Ping Xibo, to be rough, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. I, Gu Zhenhua, are alone and die. You are the backbone of tens of thousands of brothers. You are the head of your family. How can you do it by your own nature? You have to weigh the pros and cons in everything. Gu is too clear about your difficulties!"
Wu Sangui's eyes were red with a flushed circle and bowed to Gu Zhenhua: "Sir Gu, your mind and demeanor are unparalleled in the world. Wu admires it very much. From then on, Wu wants to raise an army to eliminate the thieves. I hope that Gu Jue can leave his past grudges and give me some advice."
"I wish to do whatever I can!"
Wu Sangui also looked excited, grabbed Gu Zhenhua's wrist tightly, and said to the generals present: "Everyone listens. From now on, we must respect Sir Gu like we respect me and Sir Gu. Who dares to disrespect? Military law is engaged in military law!"
"Yes, follow the order of the commander." Everyone saluted.
Gu Zhenhua saw it and sneered in his heart. This is just a show. If Wu Sangui wants to resist Li Zicheng, he must take the banner of the Ming Dynasty. With the halo of the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty on his head, Wu Sangui must be respectful and must use himself.
If you really think that from now on, you will be confused. But if you speak again, it is better to have useful value than not, at least your mind will be saved.
Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "Ping Xibo..."
"Don't call him Ping Xibo." Wu Sangui said with a deliberately shady face: "You are Zhongyong Bo, I am Ping Xibo. If you don't see each other, just call me Brother Wu!"
"Okay, I'm going to climb up." Gu Zhenhua said: "Let's go and see the prince first."
"Yes, I should apologize to the prince!"
After saying that, Wu Sangui turned his eyes to Li Jia and Chen Yi, and said viciously: "Cut these two things for me!"
With a command, the executioner prepared for Gu Zhenhua was used on them. He raised his sword and fell, and his two heads rolled to the ground.
Gu Zhenhua looked and sneered slightly: Do you know what a pig's feet halo is? I have been staying for so long and my head is still good. You two gave you the names of cannon fodder, and they became cannon fodder. It was done with one knife.
After cutting down two unlucky guys, Wu Sangui and Gu Zhenhua came to a small wood next to the camp gate surrounded by everyone. All the 100 people led by Gu Zhenhua were placed inside, and there were a large number of Guanning troops guarding outside, and they were not allowed to leave for a moment.
The old eunuch Kou Gui pulled the prince Zhu Cilang, with a sad face, and Gao Hongtu on the side also sighed.
"Gu Zhenhua, a bastard, never returns, is probably killed by Wu Sangui. It doesn't matter if he dies, but it's really hateful that his master has been implicated."
"Old eunuch, are you talking about human words?" Gao Hongtu was not polite at this time: "Justice Gu sacrificed his life to meet Wu Sangui, so that we can survive. What if we don't go to meet? Will we run away? If Guanning Army and the trespass chase us together, how many of these hundred brothers can survive?"
"That's right, Mr. Gu takes us seriously. We are willing to die with him. If the old castrated man dares to talk nonsense, we will chop you up first!"
Several soldiers were already carrying swords and pressing them over, which scared Kou Gui so much that his whole body shook and his body was like a sieve.
"You, you martial artists, are really lawless."
"I'm gone, and I'll be lawless. If the warrior hadn't sacrificed his life, you would have died."
While they were arguing, suddenly there was a burst of rapid footsteps outside, and a large group of people came, all of whom were all clearly dressed and could see clearly from a distance.
A soldier had sharp eyes and suddenly saw Gu Zhenhua in the middle. He shouted in surprise: "Look, look! Mr. Gu is here with his people, we are saved!"
Gao Hongtu also opened his eyes wide open, looking incredible. With his own strength, he could mobilize tens of thousands of troops and turn against each other. I am afraid that this may not be the case in the novel. Could it be that Gu Zhenhua is a god and has the ability?
"God, is there anything that Mr. Gu cannot do?"
Gao Hongtu and his team arrived at the edge of the woods, and Gu Zhenhua rushed over.
"Sir Gu, are you okay?"
"Hahaha, what can I do? Ping Xibo was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. His subordinates were all patriots who were dedicated to the country. After I told them about the situation, Ping Xibo came to see the prince."
After hearing Gu Zhenhua's words, the officials behind him gave thumbs up. This person is so kind! He almost lost his head, but he didn't even mention it at all. His mind and demeanor are really amazing!
Gu Zhenhua took Wu Sangui to Zhu Cixuan and Wu Sangui knelt down and apologized. Zhu Cixuan couldn't bear the change in the face of this change. He didn't know what to say, Kou Gui was even more ashamed and angry, and he dared not talk too much. The scene was a bit stiff.
Gu Zhenhua smiled and said, "Brother Wu, the prince was frightened all the way, so he would rather arrange a rest first. The most urgent thing is to consider the safety of tens of thousands of troops."
"That's right, my brother is right. There are thieves around him. We must make an idea as soon as possible. I wonder what my brother thinks?"
Gu Zhenhua thought for a while, and then said, "Brother Wu, I thought I should protect the prince and go south with all my might. The loss may be quite large. However, as long as the prince arrives in Jiangnan, the losses can be made up with the financial and manpower of the south, and with Brother Wu's contribution, it is enough to be the king!"
