Pharmacist Guo grabbed the soldier by the chest and said, "What did you say? Did Tianshi Zhang send someone to challenge us?"
The soldier stammered, "Yes... yes, he calls himself Black Impermanence and says he was sent by Zhang Tianshi. He's incredibly vicious. When we entered the camp, the gatekeepers barely had time to ask a few questions before he threw two of us, one in each hand, ten feet away."
Upon hearing this, Pharmacist Guo was so angry that he slapped him in the face. "Throwing them ten feet away with one hand each, that's bullshit!"
The soldier covered his face and said aggrievedly, "I absolutely dare not lie in front of a powerful soldier. He can really throw people ten feet away."
Seeing that he dared to be stubborn, Pharmacist Guo became even angrier. Just as he was about to explode, he suddenly heard a loud and angry curse from outside.
Pharmacist Guo stepped out of the tent and saw dozens of his men, each holding a weapon, surrounding a man.
The man was dressed in black and was holding someone up by the neck with his right hand.
The man who was caught had his tongue sticking out, a hoarse sound coming from his throat, his eyes rolled back, his legs and feet kicked, and it was obvious that he was about to die.
Pharmacist Guo took a closer look and realized that the man who was captured was none other than his adopted son Guo Tao.
When he was middle-aged, he had many wives and concubines, but he couldn't even give birth to a child. In desperation, he had to adopt his own nephew as his adopted son.
Although he is not his biological son, Pharmacist Guo treats this adopted son as his own and treasures him dearly.
Pharmacist Guo shouted, "Put him down quickly. We can discuss something."
The man in black glanced at him and said disdainfully, "Why should I listen to you?"
"I am Pharmacist Guo."
"Of course I know you are Pharmacist Guo. Last time you came to Zhang Xiaozhuang, you stabbed me."
Pharmacist Guo then looked at him carefully and recognized that this man was Zhang Shixun's follower, named Hei Wuchang.
The last time he visited the village, Hei Wuchang tried to capture him, and Guo Yaoshi even slashed him with a knife. The knife hit Hei Wuchang's arm, but nothing happened.
Definitely a powerful character.
"Are you here to challenge Zhang Shixun this time?"
Pharmacist Guo tried to divert Hei Wuchang's attention.
Sure enough, when Hei Wuchang heard him ask, he casually tossed Guo Tao aside, looked around, and said loudly: "Master Zhang asked me to tell the Yuan army that Han people do not fight Han people. Except for Guo Yaoshi, as long as everyone else lays down their weapons and surrenders, we will treat the prisoners well. Those who want to stay will join us in resisting the Jurchens, and those who want to go home will be given travel expenses."
How can this be a challenge?
It's obvious that he came here to persuade us to surrender.
Pharmacist Guo's face darkened, and he shouted, "Catch this fellow with me, dead or alive."
The subordinates, who had been waiting impatiently, heard the order and attacked Hei Wuchang with their weapons.
Instead of dodging, Hei Wuchang rushed into the group of resentful soldiers and started punching and kicking them. Anyone he hit had their bones broken.
Pharmacist Guo, who was standing by and watching the fight, saw clearly that Hei Wuchang was shot several times and hit on the back with a hammer, but he seemed to be fine and seemed to be unharmed.
The more Pharmacist Guo watched, the more shocked he became. How could a small follower be so powerful? There was no point in fighting him.
Seeing that he couldn't hurt him, a general of the resentful army couldn't help but become wild. He shouted loudly, raised the mace in his hand and smashed it on the back of Hei Wuchang's head.
Hei Wuchang seemed to have eyes on his back, and he grabbed a soldier from the resentful army and raised him above his head.
The mace hit the soldier's spine hard, and with a "crack", the soldier's spine broke.
Hei Wuchang swung the soldier's corpse and threw it at the general, knocking him to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Zhen Wuchen shuddered and blurted out, "This guy is not a human being."
Seeing how brave and courageous Hei Wuchang was, all the resentful generals were terrified. Although they shouted fiercely, no one dared to move forward.
Hei Wuchang did not take the initiative to attack. He turned his gaze to Pharmacist Guo and said calmly, "My message has been delivered. It's time to return and hand in the order."
After saying this, he strode towards the camp gate as if no one was around.
Everyone looked at Pharmacist Guo, waiting for his order.
Pharmacist Guo gritted his teeth and said coldly, "When two armies are fighting, don't kill the envoy. Let him go!"
The soldiers made way for him and watched Hei Wuchang walk towards the military camp gate.
"Shoot him! Shoot him!"
Sai Ci came at some point and roared orders.
No one on the resentful army listened to him.
Dozens of Jin soldiers raised their bows and crossbows and shot at Hei Wuchang.
Hei Wuchang had already reached the gate of the military camp. When he heard the sound of bowstrings behind him, he rolled on the ground to avoid dozens of arrows, then jumped up and ran out of the gate, disappearing into the darkness.
Dozens of Jin soldiers mounted their horses and chased after them, shouting.
Sai Ci, supported by two of his men, walked to Pharmacist Guo's side. "I knew Han'er was unreliable... Pharmacist Guo, what on earth were you planning by deliberately letting him escape?"
"He is an envoy sent by Zhang Shixun. As the saying goes: When two armies fight, they don't kill the enemy..."
"Bullshit!" Sai Ci cursed. "You bastard! He was clearly sent by Zhang Shixun to persuade us to surrender. Do you think I don't know?"
Pharmacist Guo was also full of anger and had no place to vent it. To be honest, he still couldn't figure out what Hei Wuchang was here for.
You said you came to issue a challenge, but where is the challenge?
You say you're here to persuade me to surrender, but how can you persuade me to surrender like this? I'm attacking you now, and I'm the one with the advantage. If I need to persuade you to surrender, I should be the one to persuade you.
Damn it! Damn Black Impermanence, he's got me completely confused.
Pharmacist Guo was furious and said, "Saci, don't forget, I'm the commander here, so please be polite."
"What's wrong with the commander?" Sai Ci didn't take him seriously at all. "In our eyes, you are just a broken-backed, mangy dog. If we hadn't taken you in, would you be in this situation today?"
After hearing this, Pharmacist Guo's face turned ashen and his teeth clenched.
The resentful soldiers present clenched their fists, each of them extremely angry.
"Sai Ci, ever since I surrendered to the Jin, I, Guo Yaoshi, have been loyal and devoted. I have fought bravely and bravely, always leading the charge. Even Marshal Wuliebu praised me highly and never treated me with disrespect. You, a mere Mouke, have ignored the facts and spoken so rudely. According to the Great Jin military law, you should be executed."
After hearing the accusation from Pharmacist Guo, Saici couldn't help feeling guilty.
Although Guo Yaoshi was a Han Chinese, he was the main general after all.
The military laws of the Great Jin Kingdom are very strict. Anyone who willfully neglects his superiors or disobeys orders will be executed!
Furthermore, before setting off, Marshal Wuliebu specifically told him that as long as Guo Yaoshi did not behave in a rebellious manner, he must obey Guo Yaoshi's command and not disobey his orders.
Seeing the two men standing there in a stalemate, Zhen Wuchen hurried out to smooth things over. "That man was an envoy sent by Zhang Shixun. He was a bit of a scoundrel. General Guo didn't kill him because he simply couldn't bear to argue with him. It wasn't worth it."
"Hmph!" Sai Ci snorted coldly, "I will report this matter to Marshal Yu Wuliebu. Just wait and see."
After saying this, he asked his men to help him back to his tent.
