Chapter 24: Going out of the city

When Nong Zhiguang and his sister learned that the imperial edict from Yongzhou arrived in Guizhou, they hurriedly went out to receive the edict and ordered several guards to guard Mu Guiying and his daughter.

Mu Guiying still had linen stuffed with her mouth and could not speak. She could only look at her daughter who had been abused by beasts, in great pain.

Yang Jinhua crawled towards her, and the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried bitterly.

The boy soldier was afraid that Yang Jinhua would untie the rope belt for Mu Guiying, so he hurriedly separated the two of them.

The mother and daughter could only cry to each other, and Yang Jinhua's cry for mother was circling in the room.

After a while, a team of child soldiers entered the house.

Mu Guiying and Yang Jinhua thought that Nong Zhiguang and his sister had returned after receiving the order, so they couldn't help but be frightened.

When all the child soldiers entered the room, they realized that Nong Ji-kwang and Nong Ji-young were not following, so they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I heard the leading child soldier say: At the order of the three kings, I took Mu Guiying and Yang Jinhua back to the cell and guarded them separately!

The child soldiers first took off the iron stick from Yang Jinhua's feet, and then tied it up with a dragon tie rope, tied it up like a rice dumpling.

Later, Mu Guiying was also removed from the torture instrument by them and tied it up with a dragon binding rope.

Mu Guiying's legs were already numb, and her lower bust seemed to be paralyzed and she lost consciousness.

She was powerless to resist and could only let them mercy.

She had no doubt about what she had experienced and was just worried about her daughter.

Yang Jinhua was imprisoned in a cell, but Mu Guiying was taken into a side room on the city tower.

Just because Nong Zhiguang has ordered that Mu Guiying will be taken to Yongzhou tomorrow and there is no need to be imprisoned in prison.

Just wait for tomorrow morning, Huang Shimi will take Mu Guiying out of the city.

But Mu Guiying didn't know about this.

The distant road was covered with thorns and enemies everywhere, and only six lonely dead soldiers were her allies.

No words all night.

At dawn the next day, Mu Guiying woke up from her sleep.

That night, she slept quite peacefully. Although she was still worried about her daughter, she might have been tired from the troubles of the whole night last night and fell down and fell asleep.

When I woke up, my spirits also recovered a lot.

Mu Guiying was a little afraid to hear the footsteps outside the door.

Whenever the footsteps sound, it always means the arrival of disaster.

She didn't know how long she could last. If she continued like this, she would completely collapse and surrender to the enemy in less than a few days.

The soldiers who came to take over her came very early today. If Mu Guiying hadn't fallen asleep early yesterday, she would probably be still sleeping at this time.

With a clang, the iron door opened.

The first ones were Nong Ji-ying and Nong Ji-guang brothers. They commanded the soldiers to loosen Mu Guiying, then threw her a set of prison clothes and said: Put on it!

Mu Guiying was very confused. The enemy was happy with her naked body. Why did she want her to wear clothes today?

But no matter how confused she was, she couldn't care about so much. She was busy putting on her clothes and covering her shameless body, so she didn't want to resist!

take away!Nong Ji-young said.

Several soldiers came forward to tie Mu Guiying up again.

Unexpectedly, Mu Guiying stepped back and shouted: What do you want to do?How similar is the situation today to the situation before the street parade that day. She was asked to put on her clothes and was taken away by several soldiers.

Mu Guiying seemed to be able to predict the outcome of the future. The clothes she wore now would be stripped off layer by layer again in a short time.

Nong Ji-young smiled and said: Marshal Mu, don’t be too nervous.This time I won’t take you to parade!

Then, where do you want to take me?

Go to Yongzhou!My emperor's brother has issued an imperial edict to take you to Yongzhou to wait for the defeat.Nong Ji-young said bluntly.

Is it over?Mu Guiying thought to herself, wondering whether this result should be glad or worry.

What kind of person is Emperor Renhui of the Southern Kingdom, Nong Zhigao, wearing a dragon robe in Yongzhou City?

If she was as tyrannical as Nong Zhiguang, she had just left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den.

If he really has the attitude of a emperor, he will treat him with courtesy.

However, once she left Guizhou, even if the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty went all out, it would be beyond the reach of saving her.

It is said that Kunlun Pass, which is even difficult to fly birds, is the last barrier of the Nong Army and the most insurmountable barrier of the Song Army.

After crossing Kunlun Pass, she lost even the slightest hope of being rescued.

No matter how powerful her martial arts skills are, Mu Guiying, who was once a turbulent, was like a sparrow imprisoned at this time, and several child soldiers easily subdued her.

The child soldier tied her the rope again and took her out.

Mu Guiying turned around and shouted: Where is my daughter?Where is she now?

Nong Ji-ying said: You are the only one who goes to Yongzhou.As for your daughter Yang Jinhua, you still have to stay in Guizhou City for the time being.

No!No!Let me go!I want to be with my daughter!When he heard that he was going to separate from his daughter, Mu Guiying suddenly became worried and anxious again.

Although she could not save Yang Jinhua from humiliation yesterday, as a mother, only when her children are around her can she feel most at ease.

Just after he was taken out of the cell, Mu Guiying saw a half-old man who looked like a dried corpse.

He was wearing a crimson robe, as if it was hanging from him, and he seemed a little wide-minded.

As long as the wind is together, his people will fly away like they are going to turn into kites.

His eyes were like two mud pools, turbid and unsightly, and he could not see through his eyes either.

Although it is calm and does not cause any turbulence, after watching it for a long time, it will make people feel frightened, as if they will fall into it.

These eyes were staring at Mu Guiying straight, like two candles that were about to go out.

He suddenly moved, looking like a zombie.

If he had been standing still, Mu Guiying would have thought that this was a dead person.

He seemed to be laughing, but he didn't seem to be laughing, just because his face was so stiff that no expression looked like it was.

You...is Mu Guiying?Even his hoarse voice sounded like it was coming from the pile of dead people underground.

That's right!She is the famous Mu Guiying!Why, doesn't it look like it?Nong Ji-young, who followed from behind, smiled.

Huang Shimi said: Why don’t they look like it?It is not much different from what I imagined.

That's good! I hope it will not disappoint the Prime Minister! As Nong Zhiying said, he ordered the child soldiers to pull a prison cart and said: Take Mu Guiying up and hand it over to the Prime Minister!

Let's wait!Huang Shimi suddenly stopped him.

Nong Zhiguang and Nong Zhiying were stunned and said: What else do you want to do, sir?

Huang Shimi said: Mu Guiying is a marshal of the Song Dynasty. She has unique skills and unfathomable martial arts. Naturally, she cannot be detained in an ordinary prison car.Moreover, the mountains and rivers are dangerous along the way, and the speculations are changeable, so we should focus on everything.This prince has already brought his own prison cart, so it is not a matter of trouble for His Highness and the eldest princess.

Before he could finish his words, several child soldiers had already brought a carriage up.

The carriage is so lively, with eight-horse horses running in parallel, and a cage that looks like an iron box is pulled behind.

The cage only had a few palm-sized air holes on the side walls on both sides, and there were iron rods as thick as fingers on it to form a fence.

The six layers of iron walls are three or four inches thick in front, back, left and right.

Even if Zhang Liang dances with a hammer, it is difficult to break the car at all.

When Nong Zhiguang and his sister met, they praised: The Prime Minister is still considerate.

The child soldiers locked Mu Guiying into the iron box-like cage and locked the door.

After leaving Nong Zhiguang brother and sister, Huang Shimi led more than a hundred men and horses out of Guizhou in a mighty manner and headed straight for Yongzhou.

As expected by Shi Jian, Huang Shimi's first stop must be Liuzhou.

Mu Guiying was locked in an iron cart and saw that it was not airtight around. Even with a sword in his hand, it could not be cut.

In the prison car, there was a Hehuan chair, which was also made of fine steel, and four feet were firmly nailed to the bottom of the car, as if it had taken root.

The shape of the chair looks like a recliner, but the place where the feet are rested is two semicircular channels separated in eight shapes, made of the channel steel into a arch-moon shape.

Just looking at the appearance of this chair makes people feel ashamed.

But there were no other chairs in the entire cage.

Mu Guiying thought to herself: How can I sit down?She secretly swore that she would never sit on this chair until she died, and even if she stood, she would stand to Yongzhou.

However, as soon as the carriage moved, the movement in the car was really not small.

Guangnan is mountainous and the road is rugged. With the bumpy carriage, Mu Guiying couldn't even stand firmly.

Her man was pushed up several times, and his head touched the top of the carriage, which made him feel very painful.

Mu Guiying didn't know if there were any nightmares waiting for her in Yongzhou, but then she thought: The enemy has tortured me in every way, so why can't I get along with myself?It’s better to take some energy and fight them!Thinking of this, he didn't care about being shy and sat down on the Hehuan chair and lay on it sideways.

When the heavy carriage pressed on the suspension bridge in Guizhou City, it made a creaking sound, Mu Guiying knew that she had left the city.

Guizhou is a lifelong nightmare for her, and I am afraid she will never forget it in this life.

When the army first arrived in Guangnan, Mu Guiying wanted to try his best under the city of Guizhou and regain its prestige.

Unexpectedly, he was careless for a moment and fell into the enemy's hands and was raped and played with by the enemy.

Why is the distance between ideas and reality so huge?

Mu Guiying felt desolate in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but feel bitter.

Ten miles from Guizhou, Huang Shimi suddenly waved her hand and shouted to stop! The Scouts stopped.

Huang Shimi turned over and dismounted, walked to the back of the prison car, and ordered the soldiers to say: Open!

The child soldier did not dare to disobey, so he quickly took the key and opened the door with a bang.

Mu Guiying in the car parked for no reason for some reason. When she saw the door open, she stood up from the chair.

But he saw Huang Shimi standing at the door.

When a dazzling light hit the carriage, Huang Shimi also saw Mu Guiying lying on the Hehuan chair clearly, and an unpredictable smile appeared on her stiff face: Mu Guiying, this chair is specially prepared for you.Why, can't wait to sit on it?

Mu Guiying glared at him and cursed: Shameless!She landed on her feet and wanted to stand up.

Suddenly, several strong men rushed into the car and pressed Mu Guiying back into the chair without saying a word.

What to do?Mu Guiying shouted angrily.

The child soldiers pressed her head back, took a belt, stuck it into her neck, and pulled it hard.

Mu Guiying felt a suffocation, and she couldn't help but lie backward until her head hit the cotton pillow on the Hehuan chair with heavy impact.

The belt fixed Mu Guiying's neck and a steel post under the cotton pillow, making her unable to get up.

Immediately afterwards, the child soldier untied the rope on Mu Guiying's hands, pressed her hands on the armrests on both sides, and also fixed her wrists and armrests with belts.

Two child soldiers grabbed one of Mu Guiying's legs and forced her into the eight-shaped channel steel in front of the chair.

Mu Guiying's legs just fell into the groove, and the child soldier used a belt to tie her ankles, knees and thighs to fix them together with the channel steel.

Since the channel steel is in the shape of a octave, Mu Guiying's legs were also forced to bend and spread apart.

Finally, a child soldier took out a belt connected to one side of the chair, and walked around Mu Guiying's lower abdomen like he was tied with an apron, penetrated it into the iron ring on the other side, tightening the deadlock.

Mu Guiying lay on her back on the chair, bent her knees and spread her legs, looking extremely ashamed, like a prostitute who was waiting for a guest on the bed with her legs apart.

Go down!Huang Shimi waved her hand.

After receiving the order, the child soldiers retreated from the prison car and closed the door.

Huang Shimi lit an oil lamp, which made the dark carriage light up again.

A few soldiers vaguely heard from outside: Let’s set off!Depart!After a while, the carriage began to bump again.

Huang Shimi put the oil lamp aside and moved her face to the light. Her stiff and dry face was covered with a layer of yellow light, which looked even more gloomy.

His voice was even more hoarse: Mu Guiying, do you remember the fraud case in Bianliang ten years ago?

Mu Guiying said stunned when she heard this: Of course I remember it!Then, then you... That fraud case is very involved, and Mu Guiying can't remember that much.

Huang Shimi said coldly: Ten years ago, you were the Huntianhou below one person and above ten thousand people. I am just a failed scholar. How could you remember me?

It turned out that Huang Shimi was a failed scholar in Guangzhou. She came from a scholarly family and has been teaching for generations.

Although I have saved up a lot of family businesses, I have not won the first place since my ancestors for three generations.

Before his father died, he called him Dao: I think of my Huang family, and I am in a village, and I have some talent and reputation.Unfortunately, he failed to be promoted to an official position, which is a regret for his father in his life.My son was born smart and was studious since childhood.If you can achieve fame and fortune, you will forget it but have a wish for your father.After saying that, he left the world and died with his eyes closed.

Since he was eighteen years old, Huang Shimi has been in Beijing for the exam many times.

It’s a pity that the Jinshi in the Bianliang imperial examination halls all marked the price with clear marks, buying and selling official positions, and there were everywhere.

Even though he was very knowledgeable, he still failed to win the first place until he was in his forties.

For the sake of his father's remnant wish, Huang Shimi sold his property, raised 300 taels of silver, and carried it to the capital.

After a lot of training, I was a Jinshi and was indeed on the list.

Unexpectedly, the palace examination has not yet been conducted, and the incident was revealed.

The emperor of the dynasty, Song Renzong, learned of fraud in the imperial examination and privately accepted bribes. Long Yan was furious and ordered General Yang Zongbao to thoroughly investigate the case.

Yang Zongbao handled the matter impartially. After some investigation, he involved more than 30 officials and more than 170 Jinshis, among which Huang Shimi was also involved.

Yang Zongbao originally wanted to imprison all these people and wait for the emperor to fall.

After learning about this, Mu Guiying persuaded: The fact that buying and selling officials in the imperial examination is actually caused by the greed of officials.Those Jinshi who bribed them were also forced to do it.Now that the incident has occurred, you can just send him back to his hometown except for his fame and fortune, and there is no need to be punished together!

Yang Zongbao felt deeply that his wife understood the righteousness, so he only captured and questioned the officials who accepted bribes. The remaining 170 Jinshi each gave five taels of silver as money, so he ordered him to return home and not be hired as a subject.

When Huang Shimi returned to the countryside, she was discouraged by fame and wanted to re-educate the old career of teaching.

However, because he was implicated in a fraud case, he was already ruined and no one was willing to study from him anymore.

At this time, Huang Shimi wanted to seek fame and return home in glory, but unexpectedly spent 300 taels of silver in vain. Not only did she say that her family was absent from the wall, but she was charged with bribing officials. She sighed: I think she is full of talent and knowledge, but she has no way to serve the country. What can I do?

A scholar named Huang Wei, who has just landed in the hometown, found Huang Shimi and said: I heard that Guangxi Nong Zhigao had a feud with the Prince of Jiaozhi and was recruiting talents.My brother once claimed to be a talent for the country, so it would be better to serve him, and it would be a way out.

When Huang Shimi heard that he was right, he took the five taels of silver given to him by Yang Zongbao and headed all the way to Guangxi.

After meeting Nong Zhigao, after a conversation, Nong Zhigao saw these two people, and had the talent of Jingwei, so he kept it under his tent to listen to it.

After a robbery, Huang Shimi survived the disaster and remained in a great crisis. He still wanted to serve the country. He told Nong Zhigao: Jiaozhi is a county prince of a small country.It is better to be attached to China. On the one hand, you can seek self-protection, and on the other hand, you can rely on it.

Nong Zhi was very sincere and said that, so he wrote a letter to Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty to ask for support, wishing to guard the southwest of the Song Dynasty to resist Jiaozhi.

Unexpectedly, the Song Dynasty royal court was in a state of great trouble for the war in the northwest. The famous general Yang Zongbao proposed to the army to fight and was killed by the enemy.

Fearing that he would accept surrendered to the surrendered generals, Jiaozhi was dissatisfied, so he refused the request from his subordinates.

Nong Zhigao was still unwilling to give up and made a statement one after another. In the end, Song Ting ignored it.

The disgraced Huang Shimi and Nong Zhigao, who is like a distraught dog, are both in the same condition.

Huang Shimi had given up on serving the Song Dynasty and said to Nong Zhigao: China does not tolerate me, and Jiaozhi is pressing step by step, and there is no place for me to accommodate him in the world.It is better to rise up and rule Guangdong and Guangxi, but it will be a king who will be divided into ten thousand times better than the king.Recently, the war in the northwest of the Song Dynasty has not ended. The imperial guards are all in the border areas, and Guangdong and Guangxi are empty. It can be taken away in one fell swoop, which is as easy as a backhand.

Nong Zhigao had no other way to this day, so he gathered his troops, attacked Hengshanzhai, seized Yongzhou, and established the Danan Kingdom.

Huang Shimi became Zhuge Kongming, who was wise and always followed his side and gave advice.

When he heard that the Yang family general led his army south, Huang Shimi suddenly remembered Yang Zongbao, who had thoroughly investigated the fraud case.

I have fallen to this day, thanks to him. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely seek revenge from him.

Unfortunately, Yang Zongbao had already been killed many years ago, but this time he led his widow Mu Guiying.

Huang Shimi passed on the hatred to Mu Guiying and said in secret: Yang Zongbao, you made me have nothing back then.Today, your wife will repay this revenge!

When the news of Guizhou came, the three kings Nong Zhiguang captured Song Shuai Mu Guiying. Huang Shimi thought that the opportunity had arrived, so he made a statement in front of the Southern King: Mu Guiying is a confidant.If you stay in Guizhou for a long time, you may be afraid that the Song army will succeed in the rescue.It’s better to steer it through Kunlun Pass to be safe.

Nong Zhigao obeyed Huang Shimi, so he immediately issued an imperial edict, ordering him to take Mu Guiying to Yongzhou for guarding.
