Chapter 365: Inside and Outside the Door
"Brother, what you said is wrong. Not all of the Gao family have surrendered."
Luo Tianbao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly realized: "He is going to persuade Gao Yulan!"
"Yes, this Miss Gao has a really stubborn temper. I heard that even when she was in this situation, she was still dissatisfied and resentful, and wanted to commit suicide or run away. After Li Bu knew this, he felt guilty about it, so he tried hard to persuade her.
, let her give up these thoughts, don't say, Li Bu is usually quite aloof, he doesn't talk to everyone much, his eloquence is actually quite good, he persuades Gao Yulan in one way, I eavesdropped on the wall.
I was a little moved, but this Miss Gao still refused to give in, so Li Bu had no choice but to say that he would come back another day, which was really embarrassing for him."
Luo Tianbao nodded after hearing this, and then understood what was going on.
At this time Liu Bai said: "Brother, should I continue to stare at Li Bu tomorrow?"
"No need for now, I'll talk to him directly tomorrow."
Just like that, Luo Tianbao continued working as if nothing had happened the next day. When the business was almost done, he found Li Bu who was training his troops in the school field: "Brother Li, are you free? I have something I want to talk to you about alone."
Li Bu didn't think much about it at the time, thinking it was official business, so he said hello to the others, and then he and Luo Tianbao came to a small river nearby. There was no one here at the moment.
"Young Marshal, what do you want from me?"
"Brother Li heard that you have been running to the Gao family recently. Is this the case?"
Li Bu was stunned when he heard this: "Where did you hear this?"
"Don't ask about it yet, I'll ask you now if you have it or not."
Li Bu was silent for a while, and finally said: "It is indeed true, but young commander, can you listen to my explanation?"
Luo Tianbao didn't speak, but nodded in agreement. At that moment, Li Bu explained the cause and effect of the whole incident. The situation was similar to that of Liu Bai's inquiry. After the introduction, Li Bu said: "Young Marshal, I know
You may not believe these words, but when I went to see King Gao, they really just wanted to persuade Miss Gao to give up the idea of opposing us, and at the same time make some compensation to them within their ability. After all, King Gao was kind to our brothers, although I betrayed him.
For the sake of justice, I still feel sorry for myself. If you want to punish me for this, young commander, I will have no regrets."
Luo Tianbao looked at Li Bu for a while, and finally gave a wry smile: "Brother Li, you are overthinking. We, father and son, are originally from Jianghu people, and we value life above all else. It is too late for us to admire your actions, so how can we blame you?
?It’s just that you have to say hello to me about this kind of thing in the future, otherwise it will not be good for us if others find out and spread some gossip. "
Li Bu was surprised when he heard this: "Young Marshal, you really don't blame me?"
"That's natural. If you don't mind, I will go with you outside the city today to help persuade you. I saved Miss Gao's life in the first place. If she dies or escapes now, then my efforts were not in vain.
Is something wrong?"
Li Bu was overjoyed when he heard this, and became even more fond of Luo Tianbao. Just like that, Luo Tianbao went to ask for a leave from his father. He did not go to learn martial arts that afternoon, but went to the suburbs with Li Bu. The person in charge of guarding
Hearing that the young marshal had arrived in person, Luo Tianbao immediately received him warmly. Without any airs, he simply asked the soldiers about their daily situation and what they needed, and then went to see the Gao family.
Gao Yigong and others were frightened when they heard that Luo Tianbao had arrived, thinking that they were going to be executed. Some women and children even cried out of fright on the spot. Luo Tianbao felt quite pitiful when he saw this, and immediately comforted everyone, and also asked about
Gao Yigong and others naturally did not dare to say anything else about everyone's current situation. If there was anything they needed, they expressed their satisfaction. Luo Tianbao couldn't help but feel quite emotional when he saw this. Ruling the roost in troubled times seems very majestic, but in the end, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
How many people can start and end well? At that moment, Luo Tianbao also enlightened everyone, promising that as long as they did not cause trouble, he would find a way to intercede with the court and Lin Yunfei on their behalf. It was hard to say whether he could become an official, but it was still a big deal to regain his freedom.
There was hope, and Gao Yigong and others were filled with gratitude when they heard it.
After appeasing them, Luo and Li came to the backyard to see Gao Yulan. Because she had tried to commit suicide or escape many times before, Gao Yulan was now being held alone in a small room in the backyard, with her hands and feet tied, and even
Afraid of hitting the wall, Gao Yulan was covered with quilts on all sides. Since she had not washed herself for a long time, Gao Yulan was still unkempt. At first glance, she still looked like the heroic female general of the past. Only when she saw Luo and Li, her eyes changed.
The hatred he showed was still vaguely a shadow of the past.
"What are you doing here?"
"Can't you look at it?" Luo Tianbao said with a smile.
"I don't welcome you."
"Sorry, this matter is not up to you now." At this time, someone moved two chairs, and Luo and Li sat down at the door. On the surface, they and Gao Yulan were just inside and outside the door, but in fact they were
They are two different worlds.
"Miss Gao heard that you still want to run away and even seek death. Is this possible?"
"Yes, I am different from that spineless Gao Yigong. Even now, I am still dissatisfied with you."
"Why are you doing this? After all, Gao Yigong is your biological father. Besides, he is not that good. It is human nature to like life and hate death."
"His surrender is in your favor, of course you say so, but what he did failed our whole family, and even more so the soldiers who fought desperately for the navy. I will never forgive him for this in my life."
"Miss Gao, I admire your strong character. This is why I interceded for you in the first place. However, we have to assess the situation in everything. Linzhou is now ours, and Linjun has been disbanded.
Not to mention whether you can escape, what will happen even if you do? At most, you can pull a group of rabble to dominate the mountain and become the king, or you can join the rebels and become a puppet. If you want to return to the navy, can you?"
"Where there's a will, there's a way. And even if I can't do it, I won't give in to you."
"You are wrong again. This time it is not about us attacking the rebels or your Linhai family. Our father and son have now surrendered to the imperial court and are regarded as official soldiers. Your father and daughter have separated themselves and defected to the rebels. It is justifiable for us to attack you.
To put it bluntly, we are working for the imperial court. If you think you are loyal to Linjun, then let me ask you whether your Gao family is considered a subject of the imperial court. Does what you are doing now be considered disloyal to the imperial court!?"
"This is different. The world belongs to everyone, not to one family and one surname. Those who are virtuous will live in it, and those who are not virtuous will lose it. Everyone just depends on their ability."
"Well, since everyone relies on their own abilities, why do you resent us now that we are defeated? Furthermore, if the court is immoral, then the rebels are virtuous. Now the three of us have dealt with the rebels.
Everyone knows what is going on with them. Miss Gao, you are loyal to your duties and are not willing to surrender. This is impeccable, but if you talk about something else, it may not make sense."
Gao Yulan couldn't help but be startled when she heard this. She looked at Luo Tianbao as if he had known him for the first time. She originally thought that Luo Tianbao had no ability and just liked to seek fame and reputation. But now she heard that this man had quite a way with his words.
