My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 167
Gu Zhan thought he was bound to die, and he even closed his eyes in despair when he was caught in the fishing net.

There was a "bang" sound from the bowstring, and the figures of his wife and children flashed in Gu Zhan's mind, and then the hateful old face of his father-in-law King Shu flashed in Gu Zhan's mind.

Gu Zhan hated the King of Shu more than those who chased him down.

You said such a dangerous mission, the king of Shu didn't give any warning in advance, and didn't send him more guards. This is simply letting him go to die. How much he despises his son-in-law, and would rather let his daughter be widowed than let him send him to his arms That damn letter?

"what?"

Gu Zhan had already performed a big drama in his mind, but he still didn't feel any pain. Instead, there were screams in his ears, and the pulling force of the fishing net on his body was also weak.

This caused Gu Zhan to open his eyes suspiciously, only to see that the middle-aged man and two archers on the sand boat had fallen to the ground after being shot by arrows. Countless arrows were shot out of the darkness, and everyone else on the boat was also running for their lives in embarrassment. .

Immediately afterwards, torches were lit all around, and several official boats appeared on the river. The boats were full of archers, and the arrows just shot were shot from these boats.

Surviving a desperate situation was enough to make Gu Zhan ecstatic. He struggled to break free from the fishing net on his body, and then swam towards the largest official boat.

It wasn't until he got closer that Gu Zhan realized that the archers on the official ship were all Jin Yiwei. This was the first time he discovered that these Jin Yiwei, who are usually hated by ghosts, were so cute.

"Who are you?"

Just as Gu Zhan approached the official ship, someone on the ship immediately asked loudly, and at the same time someone pointed a bow and arrow at him in his hand.

"Aren't you here to save me?"

Gu Zhan was taken aback when he heard the words, he thought that these Jinyiwei knew that he was in danger, so they came to save him specially, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't even know his identity.

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked to the bow of the boat, looked at Gu Zhan in the water, and asked, "Who the hell are you? Why did those people kill you just now?"

"I am Gu Zhan, the guest of honor of the Prince of Shu, and Gu Cheng, Marquis of Zhenyuan, is my uncle. This time, according to the secret order of the King of Shu, I am going to Beijing to send a letter to His Majesty!"

Gu Zhan immediately revealed his identity and purpose of coming, so that if the group of Jinyi guards slipped their hands, he would die unjustly.

The princess's husband is called Prince Consort, and the princess's husband is called Yibin.

The middle-aged man at the bow also showed shock when he heard Gu Zhan's identity, and immediately ordered: "Hurry up and save Gu Yibin on board!"

Immediately, Jin Yiwei stretched out a long pole, and Gu Zhan pulled the pole onto the boat, and someone immediately brought him a blanket.

Wrapped in a blanket, Gu Zhan felt that he was finally safe, which made him so excited that he wanted to cry.

"I don't know what the adults call it?"

Gu Zhan suppressed his excitement and asked the middle-aged man.

"I am the commander of Jinyiwei, Liu Mian."

Liu Mian replied with a smile.

"It turned out to be Commander Liu. Thank you for your rescue this time, otherwise I would die at the hands of thieves!"

Gu Zhan learned that the other party turned out to be the leader of Jin Yiwei, and immediately thanked him again.

"Gu Yibin, who are these people chasing and killing you?"

Liu Mian suddenly asked curiously.

"Commander Liu doesn't even know about you?"

Gu Zhan was even more surprised when he heard this, if Liu Mian didn't know who these people were, why did they appear here?

"We were investigating another case and accidentally discovered the movements of these people, so we quietly followed them, but we didn't expect to save Gu Yibin."

Liu Mian explained.

It turned out that the reason why Liu Mian and the others appeared here was mainly related to the previous Foxiang Temple.

After Zhu Zhanhe's mediation, Jin Yiwei cooperated with Hu Wei's people to monitor Foxiang Temple, but some time ago, Hu Wei transferred everyone to Changsha in order to investigate the affairs of King Gu.

After all, in Hu Mei's view, Zhu Yunqi was probably in the Gu Palace, and it would be a waste of time to monitor Foxiang Temple. In this way, only Jin Yiwei was left to monitor Foxiang Temple.

And just some time ago, Jin Yiwei's spies discovered that the monks in the Foxiang Temple had changed unexpectedly.

First, some people had frequent contact with the monks in the temple, and then some large boxes were transported to the temple.

Originally, it was already possible to arrest people at this time, but Liu Mian was very patient and wanted to wait for bigger fish to take the bait, such as the monk suspected of being Cheng Ji.

But just three nights ago, the monks from Foxiang Temple and another group left the temple with weapons and took a boat into the river. It seems that these weapons were contained in the big box before.

Now Liu Mian was even more excited. In his opinion, the group of people in Foxiang Temple was finally going to make a big move, and as long as he followed this group of people, he would definitely be able to catch some important people.

So Liu Mian boarded the boat himself, took the elite of Jinyiwei, and quietly followed behind these people, only to find that the boat of these people was searching around the river, as if they were looking for someone or something?
Yesterday evening, these people finally found out about Gu Zhan, so Liu Mian told them "The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind", which saved Gu Zhan's life at a critical moment.

Gu Zhan also told in detail how he was attacked.

Liu Mian frowned after hearing this: "So Gu Yibin, you don't know the identities of these people?"

"I don't know. If Commander Liu didn't save me, I'm afraid I'd die in a daze."

Gu Zhan also had an aggrieved face at this time, but when he said this, he suddenly thought of the letter in his arms, and immediately said again.

"However, I think the reason why they chased and killed me is probably related to the letter I sent. Commander Liu, please send someone to send me to Beijing immediately. As long as His Majesty reads the letter, he should understand everything."

"It makes sense, Gu Yibin, wait a moment, I will wipe out these thieves, and return to Beijing with you immediately!"

Liu Mian nodded, and then urged his men to end the battle quickly.

The group that chased and killed Gu Zhan had not only one boat, but four sand boats. Although they were not big, there were more than a dozen people on each boat.

Moreover, this group of people seemed to be brave enough to die, even if they were surrounded by Jin Yiwei, they would rather die than surrender.

Liu Mian wanted to catch people alive, so he ordered his subordinates to try their best to only injure the enemy and not to kill the enemy, but after this group of people were injured, they would rather commit suicide than fall into the hands of Jin Yiwei. After all, they all knew that if they entered the imperial prison, they would wait It will be worse than death.

Liu Mian was terribly angry, and at the same time he could see that this group of people were simply raised dead soldiers, even if they were caught alive, it would be difficult to pry their mouths open.

So Liu Mian didn't hold back any longer, and directly ordered his men to attack by force, and quickly killed four boats. Most of the people on board died in battle, and a few were critically injured and became prisoners of Jinyiwei.

Liu Mian asked a doctor to treat the seriously injured prisoner, tried to get some useful information from them, and then he personally brought Gu Zhan back to Beijing.
