Chapter 91 Haze

5days ago traverse Novels 2
A faint thunder came from a distant place, and the haze covered the sky.

The near Guzhen stronghold is very desolate, but in recent months, it has been knocking on the uphill in the north every day. Countless civilians and soldiers are building a castle, and the dust on the hillside is not lively.

Guo Shao looked at the gate of the military camp for a while, and somehow, he always felt restless today.

When he looked up at the sky, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was no sunshine but it was extremely hot.

Luo Yanhuan on the side said slowly: It’s going to rain. Before it rains, it’s stuffy and sweat keeps rising.

As soon as he finished speaking, lightning flashed between heaven and earth. Guo Shao felt heartbroken, and after waiting for a moment, he made a loud bang on the ground.

This thunder did not wake him up, but a kind of inexplicable panic came up, and I always felt that something was going to happen.

The dark clouds surged in the air and the wind blew.

After a while, the raindrops as big as beans were falling down. The soldiers and soldiers on the top of the mountain scattered around to find a place to hide from the rain. Countless people were walking on the mountain, and compared with the invisible momentum between heaven and earth, they were like ants.

The wind and rain were swaying, and water mist splashed on the ground mixed with dust that had not yet been wet, surging layer by layer in the wind.

Wow... The pouring rain whistled and tilted down in the wind as if it was angry, as if it was urging drums.

The air was soon filled with layers of rain curtains, and the sound of rain and wind was everywhere, and there was a buzz.

Guo Shao felt a little dazed, as if there were thousands of troops shouting in the noise and hazy gloomy scene.

No, it is not the visible army, but the countless dead souls that died in wars again and again, crying and crying in the wilderness and mountains.

He sighed and thought to himself: After the Hujie Army succeeded in Qingniling, he fought for Qingniling to prevent the reinforcements of the Shu army. The retreat was too difficult to walk, so he had already withdrawn all the main forces of the Hujie Army to Guzhen.

It is unlikely that the Shu army will chase Qingniling, and Guzhen should be a relatively safe rear.

If that's the case, where does panic come from?

Guo Shao turned around and left the camp gate and walked straight from the rain towards the center of the army.

The general behind shouted: Guo Du Envoy.He ignored it and let the rain soak the armor and the clothes and fabrics inside, and walked calmly.

After walking for a while, I walked into a complex of green tiles and earthen walls as the head of the Central Army.

I saw Jingniang and Qingxu watching the rain under the eaves. Qingxu reached out to the edge of the eaves, and then played with the rain water left on the tiles. She looked bored.

Seeing Guo Shao coming straight from the rain again, he looked at him curiously with Jing Niang.

Guo Shao walked under the eaves and a pile of water was accumulated at the station.

He looked at Qingxu and said: I have sent someone to Mount Emei to find your master. It has been one or two months. The Shu army has been transporting money to redeem people twice. Why haven’t Chen Tuan come yet?He finally couldn't help but add, your master should care about your life or death, right?

Qingxu looked at him innocently: My master either sleeps or travels around.The people you send may not find him.

Guo Shao asked again: How can I find him?

Qingxu Dao: There is a Taoist temple in Mount Emei where the master often settles.Otherwise, if you let me go, I will wait for him in Mount Emei, and my master would always find me before.When I saw my master, I said that you and Yuzhen saved my life and asked him to come to you.

Guo Shao didn't answer, thinking to himself that I'll let you go. If Chen Tuan doesn't come, where can I find someone?

Qingxu asked again: What are you looking for my master?

Guo Shao advised with kind words: Shu Kingdom and China are still in a state of war, Shu Road is very dangerous, and it is safe for you to be with Jing Niang now.

Qingxu said: You can send me to Mount Hua. When your master comes back from Mount Emei, he will go to Mount Hua and he will come to find me.

Guo Shao ignored it and turned around and went in to change his clothes.

I thought to myself, Chen Tuan’s disciples have at least one trump card in my hands; if I don’t have anything in my hands, I will not even have any connections in the future, how can I see someone?

He took a cloth robe and replaced it. Thinking that there would be no war on this heavy rainy day, he didn't even put on his armor and asked the guards to hang it on a wooden rack.

He took out a letter from the package, and read it again on the rainy day.

The letter Xiang Xun wrote after returning to Beijing.

When it comes to the matters such as the court has opened wars against the Southern Tang Kingdom in an all-round way.

Guo Shao was stationed in Guzhen this time and was unable to participate in the Huainan Battle immediately. However, now he has no expectations for military merits... If it were before attacking Shu, he would definitely be very anxious to make contributions.

But since I thought about Queen Fu last time, I have no idea.

Later, even when the Shu army sent the money to redeem people, he was not interested in asking about it, so he asked Zuo You and the generals to divide it.

I was just worried before, but somehow I have been very dazed and inexplicably anxious in the past few days.I always feel like something is wrong.

When Guo Shao turned around, he saw the inkstone thrown in the corner of the wall, he greeted the personal guards on duty at the door and shouted: The inkstone over there, go decorate some water and adjust the ink, I want to write a letter.

Look.The personal soldiers answered.

The inkstone was used again and it was not washed. It was already stained with dry ink. Take some water and mix it with ink.

Guo Shao put out the paper and pen, and thought about writing a letter to Xiang Xun, preparing to mention the queen in the letter and ask about the queen's recent situation.

He still wrote letters like that, with a breaking symbol.

This is not because he is worried that others cannot read and pronounce the words. The literal use is not classical Chinese, but oral language. This thing has deviated from the rules of classical Chinese pronunciation.

He doesn't use punctuation either. When his tone pauses, he will type ink and point it out. Anyway, those who read the letter should read it clearly.

After a while, Jingniang came in to see her.

She stepped forward to greet her, but Guo Shao didn't raise his head and pointed to the left with a brush. He just remembered that there was a round stool there.

Seeing that he was writing attentively, Jingniang couldn't help but be curious. She glanced quietly. After just one look, she found that there were many ink words on it. Her expression was shocked.

Guo Shao noticed her gaze and didn't care. Anyway, he was a general, so it was good to read.

He thought to himself: Actually, I have read more knowledge than those of this era, but I just don’t study ancient Chinese.

Jingniang said: Qingxu is doing nothing here all day and wants to go to Huashan. I think she will take her to Huashan. Fu Yaozi often goes to Huashan...

Never let Qingxu go.Guo Shao blurted out without any hesitation.

Suddenly, Jing Niang lost her voice, and he came to his senses: Jing Niang didn't know her own considerations, and saying this would definitely make her feel very strange.

But after waiting for a while, I didn't hear Jing Niang ask why she couldn't let her go.

Guo Shao couldn't help but look up at her, thinking that she was just trying to explain without asking, because it was difficult to explain.

But he was worried: Qingxu is a woman, and it is the most convenient for Jingniang to be able to observe Qingxu at all times; and Qingxu also trusts Jingniang, as long as Jingniang can stabilize her, it can save a lot of trouble.

Guo Shao couldn't help but ask: Don't you ask me why I want to keep Qingxu?

Jing Niang's voice was no longer as casual as she was just now, and her tone was very cold: If you want to do this, it will naturally make sense for you, I just need to obey the order.

Guo Shao said: You are not a general in the army, only soldiers take obeying orders as their duty.

Jingniang did not answer.

Guo Shao looked up at her face and frowned: You won’t let her go privately to repay the kindness of the purity, right?

Jingniang said: Do you don’t trust me?

Of course, trust is divided into severity and degree. Guo Shao has now trusted Jing Niang without any danger to him, but he has no words to say, and he can't explain clearly... Jing Niang doesn't understand the importance of Qingxu, what can he do if he lets go?

Guo Shao sighed, feeling a little bored, and said: Anyway, you must not let Qingxu go!In the future, if you and Qingxu leave the headquarters of the Central Army, I must let me know; I will order the generals on duty to be optimistic.

Jing Niang said coldly: No need to watch the guards, I can obey your wishes more than them.As long as you give the order, I will obey the order.

Guo Shao heard something strange, so he raised his head and looked at Jingniang carefully.

She is tall and has no female tact and behavior. She is not as sarcastic as a Taoist priest, and even her mysterious appearance is gone, and her temperament is like a soldier.

At first glance, her facial features do not look like a woman, but she is serious and firm, and her eyes are brightest; Guo Shao had an illusion that there was a certain extreme emotion in her eyes.

He was stunned and felt that he was facing a professional strong woman.

Jing Niang actually looked him in the eyes. In this era, a woman was doing this with a very rude and inappropriate behavior... Guo Shao couldn't help but think: Could it be that she had a psychological problem after seeing her female Taoist priest and those nuns being killed?

At this time, I heard Jing Niang say coldly: You don’t believe me because you don’t understand what kind of person I am.

Guo Shao frowned and said: Is Ling Zun a military general?

Jingniang said: No.My father was in the Southern Han Dynasty and was just a disciple, and I also served with him.

Guo Shao pondered: Father?Has he passed away?

yes.A few years ago, my father's lord offended a powerful relative, and the other party sent dozens of assassins to siege the mansion.My father tried hard to protect him and died in battle.

Guo Shao showed the deceased's respectful expression and praised his loyalty and courage.

Jing Niang said expressionlessly: You can let me do anything, let alone just watch over Qingxu.Jing Niang suddenly became quite strange.

As she said, after knowing her for so long, Guo Shao felt that he really didn't really understand her.

Anything?Guo Shao gently put the brush on the inkstone, and then looked at Jing Niang from beginning to end, pondering endlessly, as if it was difficult to understand her words and deeds today.
