Chapter 1029: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (One Hundred and Fifty-One)
Guo Xuezhen rode his horse, his eyes fixed on the woman at the city gate. She was dressed in coarse linen, her hair disheveled and face unkempt. How could she possibly look like a wealthy lady? He couldn't help but mutter to himself: Could this be Prime Minister Song's daughter? Absolutely not!
Moreover, he was keeping an eye on the situation in the capital. Everyone knew that because Miss Song was seriously ill, the emperor had pardoned Miss Song in advance, allowing her to return home to recuperate. This news spread like wildfire, even the people on the streets knew about it.
If the person on the city gate is Song Qingting, the daughter of the Song family, then who is the person in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Is she a fake?
Guo Xuezhen shouted, "You daring traitor! How dare you find someone to impersonate Prime Minister Song's daughter? There are only two daughters in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they are both living well here. How could we allow you to deceive people outside! Why don't you surrender immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Song Qingting panicked and stretched her head out, begging Guo Xuezhen for help, "General Guo, I really am Song Qingting, the second daughter of the Xiangfu! Please save me! If you don't save me, and I die here today, my father will definitely avenge me!"
Guo Xuezhen frowned. The girl's tone was so certain that it didn't sound fake. However, the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion had indeed returned home. It was impossible for her to be kidnapped and brought to Fengli County in such a short time.
Even if the person on the city gate was really Miss Song, so what? He couldn't retreat just because of the hostages.
In this case, of course he would insist that the person on the city wall was a fake. This way, he would not be wrong, and Prime Minister Song would not retaliate against him openly.
As for whether he would be blamed secretly, the fact that he did not receive the prime minister's letter already made it clear.
Guo Xuezhen's voice was cold and firm, as if he was declaring an unshakable fact:
"You're full of nonsense. Don't try to pretend to be the Second Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Emperor recently granted Second Miss Song permission to return home from Huangjue Temple because she was seriously ill and had been unresponsive. The Prime Minister and his wife searched the entire capital for a doctor. It's impossible for another Second Miss Song to suddenly appear in Fengli County right now!"
Guo Xuezhen's words made Zhao Lan and Song Qingting's faces change at the same time.
Song Qingting couldn't believe it and kept shouting, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Who dares to pretend to be me? How despicable!"
Zhao Lan already understood that Song Qingting had been abandoned by the emperor, the prime minister and others. He originally thought that using Song Qingting to threaten Guo Xuezhen would make the other party afraid, but now it seems that this trick has no effect.
The reason why he didn't get the news was probably because after Guo Xuezhen besieged the city, the news could not be transmitted in.
As Guo Xuezhen swung his sword, pointing it at the city wall, he declared with great force, "Zhao Lan, Ding Yangshu, you traitors, please do not be stubborn. Lay down your weapons and surrender, and I will even ask the emperor to spare you. All my soldiers, follow me in the attack, drive out these traitors, and receive promotions and honors now!"
"Guo Xuezhen, you old bastard, how dare you not save me! My father will definitely kill you! Kill you, ah ah ah ah!"
From hope at the beginning to despair now, Song Qingting really hates Guo Xuezhen.
Zhao Lan was disgusted by Song Qingting's noise, and at the same time, he was furious at Guo Xuezhen, his face flushing red. He roared, "Guo Xuezhen, don't refuse my toast and drink the penalty!"
After saying that, he ordered people to imprison Song Qingting. At this time, even if Song Qingting was pushed off the city wall to sacrifice to the sky, it would not stop Guo Xuezhen's attack.
He didn't want to resort to such a desperate measure unless it was absolutely necessary.
But now, he has not reached an alliance with the Mongols. If the city is broken at this time, he will be powerless.
"Guo Xuezhen, don't you want to find your missing little daughter, Guo Youbai? If you dare take another step forward, I will separate you from your daughter!"
Zhao Lan sent someone to bring up the next hostage he had prepared.
