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 knocked on the uphill 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, no sunshine but extremely hot. Luo Yanhuan, who was beside him, 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. Sure enough, after waiting for a moment, he made a loud "ticaca" sound. This thunder did not wake him up, but an inexplicable panic attacked him, and he always felt that something might happen.

The dark clouds surged in the sky and the wind blew. After a while, 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 the world, 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 seemed to be roaring and tilting 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 noise.

Guo Shao felt a little dazed, as if in this noisy and gloomy scene, there were thousands of troops shouting. No, it was not the visible troops, but the countless dead souls that died in wars again and again, crying and crying in the wilderness, among the mountains and rivers.

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 The retreat was too difficult to walk, so he had already withdrawn all the main forces of the Hujie Army to Guzhen.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

After walking for a while, she walked into a building complex with green tiles and earth 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, she looked at him curiously with Jingniang.

Guo Shao walked under the eaves and a pool 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 a month or two. 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 said: "There is a Taoist temple in Mount Emei, where the master often stays. Otherwise, if you ask me to go, I will wait for him in Mount Emei, and the master always found me before. When I saw the 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, and the Shu Road is very dangerous. 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. He thought to himself that Chen Tuan's disciple had at least one trump card in my hand. If he had nothing in his hand and asked him in the future, he would not even have any connections. How could he meet someone?

He took a cloth robe and changed it to it. Thinking that there would be no war on this heavy rainy day, he didn't even put on his armor and asked the guard to hang it on a wooden rack. He took out a letter from the package, and read it again when there was nothing to do on the rainy day.

The letter Xiang Xun wrote after returning to Beijing mentioned that the court had already started war against the Southern Tang Kingdom. Guo Shao was stationed in Guzhen this time and could not participate in the Huainan Battle immediately, but 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 he thought about Empress Fu last time, he had no intention. Later, even when the Shu army sent the money to redeem people, he was not interested in asking about it, and 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 and 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."

"Here." 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 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 this, with sentence breaking symbols. He was not worried that others could not read and pronounced sentences. The literal use is not classical Chinese, but spoken words. This thing has deviated from the rules of classical Chinese pronunciation. He did not use punctuation. When his tone pauses, he would type ink and point it out. Anyway, those who read the letter should read it.

After a while, Jing Niang came in. She came forward to greet her. 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, Jing Niang 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 stunned.

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 didn't study ancient Chinese.

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

"You must 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, he didn't hear Jing Niang ask why she couldn't let her go. Guo Shao couldn't help but look up at her and thought that if she didn't ask, she just saved her explanation because it was difficult to explain. But he was worried: Qingxu is a woman, and Jingniang is the most convenient person who can see Qingxu at all times. Moreover, Qingxu also trusts Jingniang, and as long as Jingniang can stabilize her, it can save a lot of trouble.

Guo Shao couldn't help asking, "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, there will naturally be yours. I just need to obey the order."

Guo Shao said: "You are not a general in the army. Only soldiers are responsible for obeying orders."

Jingniang did not answer.

Guo Shao looked up at her face and frowned and said, "You won't let her go privately to repay the kindness of Qingxu, 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 annoyed, and said, "Anyway, you must not let Qingxu go! In the future, if you and Qingxu leave the headquarters of the Central Army, you must let me know; I will order the generals on duty to look forward to it."

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

Guo Shao heard something strange, so he raised his head and looked at Jing Niang carefully. She was tall and there was no such thing as a woman's distortion. After she was not a Taoist priest and saint, she disappeared even her mysterious appearance. Her temperament was like a soldier. Her facial features looked like a woman's charm at first glance, but she was serious and firm, and her eyes were brightest. Guo Shao had an illusion that there was some 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, women were doing this with a very rude and inappropriate behavior... Guo Shao couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that she had a psychological problem after seeing her female Taoist priest and those nuns being murdered?

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 Nanhan before, and I was just a disciple. I also served with my father."

Guo Shao pondered: "Father? He has 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 respectful expression of the deceased and praised loyalty and courage. Jing Niang said expressionlessly: "You can let me do anything, let alone just watch Qingxu." Jing Niang suddenly became quite strange. As she said, after knowing her for so long, Guo Shao felt that she did not 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.

PS: Today is over 3rd, and I look forward to everyone’s monthly tickets.

This week's run (no recommendations on the homepage) has now fallen out of the click list; it seems that you can only survive this week by relying on the homepage monthly ticket list. The homepage monthly ticket list is equivalent to a good recommendation for me, and it becomes particularly important at the beginning of the month.

If an online author writes a book, if his grades are not very good, he will always not be in much mood to write it seriously. I hope that readers can provide some support based on their own situation. If the grades are good, the west wind is tight, and the book is not good, and if there is no reason, it will not be faster.

Last month, more than 100 readers gave me rewards. Today, everyone has a few free monthly tickets. I hope everyone can vote for me. In addition, the rewards are directly voted for monthly tickets, and there is a very obvious position on the pages... If you have the extra effort, it would be even better if you can reward Xifengxiao to support some monthly tickets in the past few days. I am embarrassed to force you, just follow your situation and your wishes and just support them voluntarily.
Chapter completed!
