5days ago traverse Novels 2
When I opened the inn room, the situation inside was terrible. The tables, round stools and other decorations were in a mess. More than a dozen people fell to the ground in a row, with blood stains on the walls and the ground.

Who killed someone and locked the door?

The doors and windows were all closed. When Guo Shao walked to the door, he smelled a very unpleasant and strong mixed smell, just like the person hanging under the eaves in front of him, not only had the smell of blood but also the stench of excrement.

Even those who are killed by swords and guns are not that beautiful. It seems that the filth in the body will flow out because the muscles lose control.

Guo Shao's heart was cold... Qingxu and these nuns were killed as spies?Just die in filth?

He stepped into the threshold, took off the scabbard and lifted the lying bodies one by one to look at them.

He had never seen Qingxu, but he had heard a detailed description of a woman, with a pointed chin and single eyelids, and was fourteen or fifteen years old.

Moreover, Qingxu is not a nun, he has hair.

He walked very carefully, of course he would not step on the dead body directly with his feet, but he turned around inadvertently and found that there were blood marks left on the floor tiles, inevitably stepping on the blood flowing everywhere on the floor tiles.

These people were not our killing... The official at the door said tremblingly.

Guo Shao turned around and asked: Are all the people you arrested here?

The official suddenly said: There is another one locked up there, a young lady who claims to be the disciple of Fuyaozi Chen Tuan.

Still alive?Take me there right now!Guo Shao threw away his scabbard and turned around and left.

Everyone quickly left the tragic massacre scene and went to another room.

This time, Guo Shao didn't have to do it himself. Luo Mengzi, who was more fat, rushed up and hit the door with his iron armor, and knocked over the door panel directly. Suddenly, the frightened girl screamed from inside.

After hearing this, Guo Shao ran up. Under the small window at the bottom of the room, there was indeed a little lady standing. She was not tall and looked a little thin, with single eyelids and pointed chin.

She held a hairpin in her hand and said in a strong local accent: What do you want to do? My master is Fu Yaozi, and my master is very awesome!Don't come over...

I saw a thick wooden lattice on the small window behind, one of which had a gap, and some wood chips on the ground below.It turns out that she wanted to break the wood with a hairpin before?

When Guo Shao heard this, he suddenly felt a big stone in his heart landing. He looked at Qingxu carefully and said: Of course I won’t want to do anything to you. I am here to save you. You don’t know that I can’t even care about my life in order to save you...

You are so strange!Do I know you... Qingxu's back against the wall, and when Guo Shao looked at her with such gaze, she seemed a little uncomfortable all over.

From time to time, I also looked at Guo Shao with my eyes. The two of them looked at me and I looked at you, and their behavior was very strange.

Guo Shao cared about her so much about the person who had nothing to do with him... Of course, he knew what the reason was, but it still felt very mysterious. Is this the opportunity they said?

The two men and women looked at each other for a while, and Guo Shao finally came to his senses and turned to ask: Where is the girl from Jing?Call Jingniang over.

After a while, my grandmother walked over coldly, her face pale, but she didn't say anything.When she walked to the door, she saw Qingxu and finally said: Qingxu, do you still remember me?

Taoist Master Yuzhen?Qingxu's face was delighted.After all, he is a teenage girl. No matter who her disciple is, she always feels safer when she meets acquaintances, and she cannot avoid being vulgar.

Seeing this, Guo Shao silently withdrew from the room.He said to the two personal soldiers beside him in a deep voice: Look at them, don’t let Qingxu get lost.

Qingxu and Jingniang said a few words when they met. When they looked up, the strange young general just now disappeared.

Guo Shao walked to the yard of the inn and turned around and asked the official who led the way: Who killed the person?

A humble position... a humble position doesn't know.The official said hurriedly.

Suddenly, he heard a clatter of clang, and a flash of sword light. Luo Yanhuan drew his sword and waved it over, suddenly stopped Guan'er's neck, and a trace of blood flowed to the knife's surface.

The official was shocked and his body became soft and he was so scared that he fell to the ground.

Guan'er said tremblingly: The order issued by Zhao and Zhao Chongtao...

Where is the person?Guo Shao asked again.

Guan'er said: The defeated soldiers in front came to the inn. Zhao Chongtao learned that he had been defeated and went up to Qingniling with General Li and others.

At this moment, a cavalry rushed to the gate of the inn and came in to report: The general of the Shu army was Li Tinggui. He asked to treat the captured subordinates well and surrender as long as we agreed.

Luo Yanhuan laughed and said: Can you still give me the conditions at this time?

Guo Shao waved his hand and said: He ordered Wang Zhang to agree to Li Tinggui's conditions to resolve the situation early and save trouble.

Guo Shao sent people to ask Li Dazhu and other commanders stationed at Baishui Road to gather on the North Road.

Then he divided his troops to escort the surrendered Shu army soldiers to the north of Qingniling... Guo Shao discussed with Li Chuyun and others, intending to give up the inn and occupy only the Qingniling highland, and then the main force returned to the north.

In the evening, a group of Shu army generals and officials were tied to the inn and were taken to the inn by ropes.

Guo Shao led the generals to meet him in the lobby.

As soon as Li Tinggui and others walked into the lobby, they found that the generals of Zhou army looked strange. They were either angry or had no kindness, but it seemed that Li Tinggui and others were piles of wheat cakes or piles of gold and silver... they had that illusion.

If a defeated general is killed, he will kill him!Li Tinggui raised his head and said angrily.

Guo Shao asked: Who is Zhao Chongtao?

A general of Shu army behind Li Tinggui said: That's me.

Guo Shao said: Pull it out and peel it off.

After hearing this, Li Tinggui was furious and cursed: Who promised me not to kill prisoners? If you speak, you should fart?I was defeated in the battle, and I was not willing to die, so I cut me off!

Guo Shao said coldly: Killing an opponent in a battle formation does not have to pay for his life. Killing an unarmed person must pay for his life. Killing someone will pay for his life is natural.After saying that, he waved his hand and the rest were imprisoned.

At this time, Zuo You, who was sitting next to the table, found the magnet from somewhere. He held the magnet and leaned towards the pile of coins placed on the table, and the coins were immediately stained with the magnet.

Zuo You said: It's really an iron coin.Shu Kingdom lacks copper, so it is difficult for us to take these coins back.

Guo Shao stood up calmly, neither treating surrendered generals from the Shu army nor saying that he would kill them, but only dealt with one person.

He came out of the back door of the lobby, called Luo Yanhuan forward, and said in a deep voice: Take people to coerce those generals of the Shu army and ask them to send people back to get money to redeem their lives... Don't have iron coins, use them for birds!Please ask for gold, silver, gems, and silk; let Zuo You do this with you so that he can calculate what level it costs, and be honest and honest.

Luo Yanhuan said: This group of soldiers of Shu army are imprisoned soldiers, and Shu Kingdom's imprisoned soldiers are also numerous and are often rewarded by the emperor of Shu Kingdom.Thousands of prisoners, one person would have squeezed out a lot.

OK, you and Zuo You are fully responsible for this matter.Guo Shao said.

Li Chuyun said: If the Shu people really use money to redeem people, will we let them go?Especially if you let go of the general of the Shu army without saying a word and stab him into the court...

Guo Shao pondered for a while: What Brother Li said is very true.I saw that I sent someone to Tokyo for a report for two days, asking for instructions on how to treat prisoners of war... I went to Fengxiang and told the envoy of the Guest Province that Zan Jurun would not need to hide it, but he said that he had squeezed out the money and he also had one.

Li Chuyun said: The soldiers of the Shu army should be fine, but if the military generals issued an order to arrest them and returned to Tokyo... Then we will collect the money but do not follow the rules?It is said that the bandits in the Green Forest will abide by the rules.

Zan Jurun would report on the blackmail in the army.And we have already requested the imperial edict first, and the government and the court should follow the situation. If we want to arrest it, we will arrest it, so we have to be worse than even the bandits... we will not abide by the rules.Guo Shao said, if you blackmail the money and get rid of those who are "lost" in the chaos, you will also pay some of them at that time.

Li Chuyun sighed: I had already agreed to the soldiers to share the money before the war, but for the sake of the present, I can only do this.Why don’t you leave this matter to the general? How can the people I sent to tell Zan Jurun?

Guo Shao simply nodded and said, "Then Brother Li will do it."

Li Chuyun found a Dutou in the guards and told him to go to Fengxiu to see Zan Jurun first. He repeatedly reminded him: The remaining troops of the Shu army were besieged in Qingniling. The generals were afraid of death and asked to redeem their lives before they were willing to surrender.Our generals were afraid that the lonely army would go deep into the back and were attacked by reinforcements from Shu Kingdom, so they wanted to fight and decide quickly, so they reluctantly agreed.

A group of cavalry took the seal stamped by Guo Shao of Hujie Army, and climbed Qingniling early the next morning and headed straight towards Fengxiong.

Zan Jurun asked about the news in detail, and thought about it for a long time in the inn, and then he began to write secret reports.

In order to make the matter clear, he also wrote about Wang Jing's army and Xiang Xun's army plundering wealth in Qin Fengchengjie City, and then discussed that the imperial guards did not occupy the city, so he extorted reinforcements from the Shu army. As for the imperial guards, it was quite strange that the Shu army took the initiative to ask for money to redeem people.

After writing a secret memorial to the Privy Council, Zan Jurun sealed the lacquer and sent a messenger to deliver it to Tokyo directly.

At this time, the Zhou monarchs and ministers in Tokyo were celebrating because the battle against Shu was successful... If Wang Jing and other troops continued to stalemate in Qin Feng, the Zhou army could not easily start a war against the Southern Tang; only after the situation was clear could the Southern Tang be attacked to avoid high-intensity combat on both sides.

The Privy Councilor Wei Renpu did not think that the army would do plunder or extortion at all. As long as he defeated Shu Kingdom, he could avoid the important things. The suggestion of the emperor was: the surrendered soldiers of the Shu army in Qingniling were handled by the left wing of the Hujie Army; Qin Feng's ordinary Shu army surrendered troops were still left and left, and those who were willing to leave could be let go, so as to win the hearts of the soldiers, officers and people in Qinfeng's area.

The emperor agreed and immediately approved it, and then asked the civil servant to write an edict to appease Qin Feng's surrendered troops.

Wei Renpu also suggested that Wang Jing's troops plunder Qinzhou and others would be sent to commend him, and issued an order to move Wang Jing to the capital to settle Qinzhou and the west edge of the margin.

The matters discussed by Privy Councilor Wei Renpu were very appropriate and were quickly implemented.
