Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan.

Chapter 282 Brothers meet again

Guo Hao was also happy to see Chen Daniu getting along well with his brothers.

If something really happened, even if a group of brothers begged Chen Daniu to speak for them in front of Wei Yuan, it would be difficult for him to refuse, right?
On the trip to Taihu Lake, Guo Hao only brought thirty or forty close confidants, most of whom were from Daizhou.

Except for Xiang Yunchu, Feng Xing, Jiang Suiyun and others, everyone else felt that there was no crisis in this trip to Taihu Lake.

After all, we all come from Daizhou. Even if our bones are broken, our tendons are still connected. There is no need to fight each other.

at this time.

In the cabin where Guo Hao lived, Xiang Yunchu came to report, "According to our investigation, many merchant families in the south of the Yangtze River and the southeast have gone to the Marquis of Wei."

If even they knew about this, it was impossible for the imperial court not to know about it.

Guo Hao said worriedly, "Is my elder brother's move going to make them confront me face to face?"

Xiang Yunchu clasped his fists and said, "It is possible. I hope General Guo will make adequate preparations. After all, General Wei has three hundred tiger guards around him."

Three hundred tiger guards.

Ever since Wei Yuan created the new army and established the Manjia Camp, everyone knows that the soldiers in the Manjia Camp attach great importance to armor.

They were all heavily-armored cavalrymen built with real gold and silver. If they didn't have armor-piercing weapons, each of them could be worth ten or even a hundred of their own!

"Don't even mention the Tiger Guards. Even if there aren't any, if my eldest brother wants to kill me, I'm afraid it would be easy for him to do so."

As soon as Guo Hao finished speaking, Jiang Suiyun stood outside the cabin and bowed, saying, "General Guo, the Marquis of Wei has sent someone to welcome you."

He asked, "Is the person coming Lin Zhaoyuan?"

Jiang Suiyun responded, "He is just a Tiger Guard. I don't know his name."

Tiger Guard?

Even if you want to kill me, you have to do a good job on the surface, right?
Instead of sending Lin Zhaoyuan, he only sent a tiger guard to greet him?
It doesn't make sense to say this out loud!
"understood."

Guo Hao walked out of the cabin and saw the Tiger Guard not far away. He was only on a small boat. When he was close to the navy warship, he kept saying loudly:

"General Wei has ordered that Commander Guo meet alone, and the navy officers and soldiers stay where they are and are not allowed to move without authorization."

"The commander has given orders."

"."

Hearing this, Guo Hao frowned deeply, "Let me go alone?"

He quickly found Chen Daniu and said, "Yuanzhi, will you come with me?"

The latter smiled and said, "Didn't you listen to what the tiger guard said? He told you to go alone."

Guo Hao was extremely anxious. If he went alone, wouldn't he be like a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others?

Or did Wei Yuan mean to give him the rotten fish?
hiss.

In a hurry, Guo Hao couldn't help but start to think wildly.

After a pause, he looked at the tiger guard and said loudly: "I am Guo Hao. General Chen Yuanzhi is beside me. I wonder if I can go with General Chen to see the guard commander?"

The tiger guard responded, "The commander said that only you can go! The commander also said that General Chen should have more fighting competitions with your generals."

Guo Hao was really panicked.

The heart was beating rapidly and the limbs were trembling slightly.

It is like a student who enters the examination hall but has no real talent or knowledge, and feels extremely panicked.

He looked at Chen Daniu with pleading eyes.

After a long while, the latter sighed, "If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"

Then, he stood in front of Guo Hao and said loudly: "On the way to Suzhou, I have been sparring with the navy officers and soldiers for a long time. I haven't seen you for many days, and I miss you very much. I will go with Commander Guo."

The tiger guard just bowed deeply and said no more.

Guo Hao bowed and said, "Yuanzhi, thank you very much."

Chen Daniu shook his head, jumped off the main warship, and landed on a small boat, "Let's go."

Guo Hao nodded and asked, "Can I bring your sister-in-law with me?"

Chen Daniu frowned and said, "Brother only let you go alone, and also told me not to follow you. Now, you want to take that clan girl with you. What do you want to do?"

In recent days, he had met the princess of Jiacheng Township, a member of the royal family who was now with Guo Hao.

Guo Hao said: "Let big brother meet his sister-in-law, maybe it will make big brother happy."

Chen Daniu said, "Don't bother me anymore, come up quickly, and let's go."

Helplessly, Guo Hao had to give up the idea, and then the two of them headed towards the middle of Taihu Lake.

He wanted to take Zhao Jianjia with him because he felt that as the eldest brother, Wei Yuan could not openly attack him in front of his younger siblings, right?
However, he did not dare to anger Chen Daniu, so he had to let go of some of the thoughts in his mind.

Wei Yuan cleared the place specially in order to meet Guo Hao.

At this moment, there were only him and Lin Zhaoyuan on the deck of the huge flower boat.

After all, when 'brothers' meet, it's not good to have outsiders present.

When Guo Hao saw the flower boat, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Our eldest brother is really generous."

Chen Daniu did not respond.

In a short while, they had arrived beside the flower boat. Guo Hao had already seen Wei Yuan's back as he sat on a chair and fished, and Lin Zhaoyuan standing behind him as steady as a rock.

"Yuanzhi, you go up first"

Guo Hao requested.

Chen Daniu sneered, "It has come to this, the final step, what, are you afraid?"

Guo Hao said truthfully: "To be honest, when I arrived in Hangzhou, I was already a little scared."

Chen Daniu laughed out loud twice, then walked onto the flower boat step by step using the ladder lowered from the flower boat.

Guo Hao hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to board the flower boat.

On the way, he felt as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at his back.

When I subconsciously looked back, I saw that the calm lake, which was empty of any other boats except the flower boat, suddenly had thirty more small boats, which were approaching the flower boat in a surrounding manner.

On each small boat stood a varying number of soldiers from the Manjia Battalion, holding Guandao in their hands.

They all wore scary masks on their faces, looking ferocious and murderous.

At this moment, his back felt cold and his legs were trembling slightly. He took another step and fell directly on the escalator.

If Chen Daniu hadn't been quick to grab his arm, he would have been submerged in the water by now.

But even though he was held by Chen Daniu, his legs were already half submerged in the water. "As a dignified naval commander, he almost fell into the water while boarding a boat. If you tell others about this, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Chen Daniu couldn't help but laugh at him.

Guo Hao smiled awkwardly.

Immediately, with the help of Chen Daniu, he quickly boarded the flower boat.

At this time, Lin Zhaoyuan turned around and looked at Guo Hao coldly.

Guo Hao quickly bowed and said, "Brother Zhaoyuan, it's been a long time since we last met. I miss you so much."

Lin Zhaoyuan did not respond, but turned around and continued to look at the lake where Wei Yuan was fishing.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Chen Daniu laughed and said, "You didn't come to Zhaoyuan's wedding. He must be mad at you."

Guo Hao quickly said, "I was busy with something important at the time. Although I didn't leave, I still showed my courtesy."

The gift money he gave to Lin Zhaoyuan was second only to Wei Yuan and slightly higher than Xu Changzhi's.

Then, Chen Daniu held Guo Hao's wrist, came behind Wei Yuan, bowed deeply and said:

"Brother, I didn't listen to you. I brought this guy here to admit my mistake. Just give me your word. I will do it if I want to beat him or kill him. I will never dirty my hands."

Guo Hao's heart seemed to stop beating for a moment, and his wet legs began to tremble again. After hesitating for only a moment, he knelt down towards Wei Yuan's back and kowtowed heavily, saying:
"Brother, I know I am wrong. Please punish me. I have no complaints!"

However, no matter what they said, Wei Yuan never responded.

Chen Daniu didn't dare to say anything more. He simply sat aside and ate the grapes on the table without even spitting out the skins.

Guo Hao just kept kneeling behind Wei Yuan.

For some reason, he didn't feel scared when he didn't see Wei Yuan.

But at this moment, when he saw Wei Yuan, even if it was just his back, the feeling of him being so high as a mountain that made him want to look up was overwhelming, making him tremble with fear.

After a while, perhaps because Guo Hao's legs were numb from kneeling, he subconsciously pounded his legs to clear the meridians. Suddenly, Wei Yuan asked Lin Zhaoyuan:

"How did Li Chuan die?"

Guo Hao was shocked.

Lin Zhaoyuan responded, "During the battle of Daizhou, Brother Li Chuan and I traveled thousands of miles in one day. When he delivered the intelligence, he did not bring his personal guards with him, and unfortunately he was killed by Liao spies halfway."

Wei Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Li Chuan, loyalty, tell me, how can we who are still alive be worthy of those who have died?"

Lin Zhaoyuan thought about it seriously, and finally replied, "I'm sorry."

"Yes, I'm sorry." Wei Yuan said earnestly.

Guo Hao took over the conversation and said, "Brother, I am sorry for my elder brother's hard work in nurturing me, and I am sorry for the brothers who died in the disaster. I am guilty!"

The attitude of admitting mistakes is acceptable, after all, he just wants to save his life.

Wei Yuan never responded.

After a big fish came up, he stood up and grabbed the rod to pull it up. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but he tried for a long time but failed to pull the fish up.

"This fish is really powerful. It must be a big fish."

Wei Yuan said with great interest.

Seeing this, Guo Hao hesitated for a long time, and without saying a word, he suddenly stood up and jumped into the water. For a moment, the lake was filled with ripples.

He quickly followed the fishing line and caught the big fish. He emerged from the water, held the fish in both hands, and looked at Wei Yuan with a silly smile.

"Brother, it really is a big fish."

Chen Daniu smiled and said, "Well, he still fell into the water."

Wei Yuan threw the fishing rod aside, then squatted on the shore, looking at Guo Hao splashing in the water, and asked with a smile:

"It seems that you, as the commander of the navy, are quite knowledgeable about water."

The latter said: "It's all thanks to my elder brother's cultivation."

Wei Yuan didn't say anything, just looked at him with a smile, and didn't let him get on the boat.

He had no choice but to swim continuously.

After an unknown amount of time, his strength gradually ran out and he even choked on the water.

Behind him, several small boats began to approach him. The people on the boats were several gangsters from the Cao Gang.

Even though Guo Hao's strength was almost exhausted, he still used his last bit of faith to hold the big fish tightly in his hand.

He was even worried that he might run away if he lost his strength and let go of the fish, so he dug his nails into the fish's gills.

After a while, Guo Hao couldn't hold on any longer, "Brother, save me!"

"Well--"

"help me--"

"."

Every time you speak, you drink a sip of lake water.

Gradually, he felt his body getting heavier and heavier.

After a while, he could no longer hold on and his head gradually sank into the water.

At this time, Chen Daniu stood up suddenly, "Brother."

Lin Zhaoyuan also frowned slightly.

Wei Yuan waved to his brothers from the Cao Gang not far away.

In an instant, those experts who had been fishing in rivers, lakes and reservoirs since childhood, all sank into the lake like tumbling carps.

It only took a few breaths to pull Guo Hao onto a boat.

Then, they began to press on Guo Hao's abdomen, forcing him to spit out the lake water he had drunk.

Wei Yuan looked at the nearly unconscious Guo Hao and said expressionlessly, "Give him the fish. He likes kneeling so much. Let him continue kneeling after he wakes up."

"If those wealthy merchants see this and laugh at him, let them go hungry for a few meals."

In short, as long as they are on this ship, the life and death of those people will be completely controlled by Wei Yuan.

He has the final say.
