Chapter 139: Oh no, General, there are many soldiers outside
Yan Feng observed carefully for a while and found that Zhou Yong did not show any signs of lying. He actually looked sincere.
After thinking about it, he finally decided to give it a try.
If the traitor is really here at this moment, it would be a great achievement to capture him and bring him to justice.
In this way, Yan Feng immediately selected three hundred soldiers and secretly advanced towards the prime minister's residence.
At this time, Guo Yian was feeding medicine to Ge Linlang, and had no idea that a huge storm was coming towards him.
"Squeak!"
At this time, a servant hurriedly pushed open the courtyard gate and started shouting through the gate.
"Oh no, General! A lot of soldiers are coming outside and have surrounded the Prime Minister's residence!"
Guo Yian's hand that was feeding the medicine suddenly stopped, and a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.
He calmly looked at the servant who had brought the news and asked, "Did you see clearly who these people were and how many men they had?"
Seeing Guo Yian so calm, the servant quickly calmed down as well and replied, "I saw them. They are all from the Dali Temple, led by Lord Yan, the Dali Temple Minister. They are already outside the gate. General, what should we do now?"
At this time, Ge Linlang, who was in a coma, just woke up. After hearing the news, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and then when she saw Guo Yian was still there, she couldn't help but look anxious again.
"How could this happen? Where did they hear the news that the general was returning home at this time?"
"What should we do now? There are so many people outside. General, you should leave quickly and leave us alone. They won't do anything to a weak woman like me. As long as you can escape, you will definitely have a chance to make a comeback."
Ge Linlang also understood Guo Yian's temper. Generally speaking, at this time, the more she pushed him to leave and escape, the more he would stay.
As expected, Guo Yian frowned and scolded her:
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're pregnant with my child, so how can I just leave you alone? It's just a few hundred men and horses. I'll just kill them all. Just wait. Don't come out unless it's absolutely necessary."
Guo Yian gave a few instructions, patted Ge Linlang's hand, then stood up and left the courtyard.
When he came, he was not completely unprepared, because he also had his trusted subordinates outside. If he was not mistaken, the two sides should have started fighting by now, because faint sounds of fighting could be heard from the yard in front.
Sure enough, when Guo Yian just arrived at the front yard, there were already many arrows dropped on the ground, and several corpses lying around, all of them were his men.
At this time, the trusted guard Zhou Hu saw him coming and hurriedly stopped Guo Yian who was about to step forward and admonished him:
"General, the situation ahead is dangerous. You can't go through. I, Wu San, and the others will take over for a while. You can escape through the secret passage. As long as you have a green mountain, you will never lack firewood."
Facing the enemy, how could Guo Yian be willing to run away like a turtle?
But when he saw the arrows whistling towards him and his men falling one after another, he clenched his fists tightly and forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.
"But Qi Niang is still at home. I can't leave her alone."
Zhou Hu also knew this, but when faced with important matters, there was no time for sentimental love.
"General, I beg you, if we take my aunt with us, I'm afraid none of us will be able to leave. Please, for the sake of so many brothers who have sacrificed their lives, leave quickly. If we're any later, it will be too late."
Zhou Hu almost knelt down to Guo Yian.
Just when Guo Yian finally made up his mind to escape from the tunnel, he saw a familiar figure rushing out from the opposite path and shouting at the soldiers outside:
"Everyone stop it."
Yan Feng saw from the side of the gate that it was a woman who appeared there, and he quickly raised his hand to the soldiers behind him.
For a moment, the rain of arrows stopped, and Guo Yian's men were able to breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, Ge Linlang actually walked to the center of the yard alone, and shouted fearlessly to Yan Feng and others:
"Stop, this is the Prime Minister's residence, it's my home, I won't allow you to act so recklessly here!"
Ge Linlang's words almost broke down Guo Yian and his men.
Damn it, a weak woman could actually stand up in public at this time and challenge the people from Dali Temple. She has already put her life and death aside.
Zhou Hu also lowered his head silently. Just a moment ago, he had suggested that Guo Yian abandon Ge Linlang and her son and run away.
But this time, seeing Ge Linlang being so righteous, even though he was a man, he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
Zhou Hu thought so, let alone Guo Yian. Seeing everyone in the Dali Temple raise their bows and arrows and aim at Ge Linlang in the middle of the courtyard, he could no longer hold back and immediately stepped forward, blocking Ge Linlang with his body.
"Go quickly, this place has nothing to do with you. Take the child and live well."
His eyes were filled with attachment and reluctance to part with Ge Linlang.
He knew that once he took this step, there would be no turning back.
But he couldn't bear to leave his beloved woman and the child in her womb and watch them being shot to death by arrows outside.
That would be his lifelong nightmare.
So, even if he was captured, he stood up without hesitation and tried to protect Ge Linlang with his body.
At this time, the subordinates behind him were all shocked when they saw this.
"General, absolutely not!"
"General, it's dangerous!"
However, before his men could move forward, another wave of arrows approached them. If they had not dodged in time, they would have been shot through the neck.
At this time, Ge Linlang also suddenly realized.
She didn't expect that Guo Yian was actually willing to stand up for her and put himself in such danger.
Although Ge Linlang had a blood feud with him, if she put all that aside, she thought that Guo Yian was at least a passionate man and a good husband.
What a pity! There is no if, and no just in case.
When Guo Yian swung his sword at his brother, the two were destined to have an ill-fated relationship.
At this time, everyone outside the Dali Temple widened their eyes when they saw Guo Yian.
They also didn't seem to expect that Guo Yian would actually choose to stand up at this time for a woman.
"Traitor, why don't you surrender immediately? I may be able to petition the emperor to spare your body." Yan Feng spoke first and asked Guo Yian.
Guo Yian slowly turned his head and looked at the soldiers and officials outside the door, a sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"What a joke! While this general was bravely fighting on the front lines, you were all immersed in the prosperity and gentleness of the capital, enjoying the peace won by the heroic sacrifices of the frontline soldiers. Now the emperor is so cruel that he wants to abandon the donkey after it has served its purpose. Instead of trying to dissuade him, you are aiding and abetting his evil deeds. It is truly shameful."
