When Gu Qing and his guards returned to the camp, Shen Tian's headquarters, which had been ordered to pursue Chen Shufeng, had not yet returned.

However, Li Siye's subordinates were locked up, but it was well known to everyone in the camp, and as soon as Gu Qing entered the gate, he heard the camp tent boiling everywhere, countless noisy scoldings, smashing sounds, and the stern reprimands of the generals.

Gu Qing stopped and said with a grim expression: "Han Jie, send someone to ask, why is it noisy in the camp, aren't these people afraid of military law?" ”

Han Jie took the order and left, and soon came back, and he was not the only one who came back, and he was followed by many angry soldiers of the Anxi Army.

Han Jie glanced at Gu Qing helplessly, and said, "Master Hou, they have to talk to Lord Hou face to face......

Gu Qing nodded, looked around at the hundreds of soldiers in front of him, and he also saw that there were still many soldiers in the distance who were still coming towards him.

Gu Qing lowered his face and shouted, "Do you want to rebel?" ”

The soldiers in front of them were frightened by Gu Qing and took a few steps back, but they didn't leave, and the general who looked like a brigade commander hugged his fists and said: "Master Hou, Pei Yushi locked his robe for no reason, and deceived people too much, the last general and his brothers were really angry, so they were a little excessive, and Lord Hou forgave his sins." ”

Gu Qing said coldly: "This is the above matter, it has nothing to do with you, I will explain it to you." ”

In the crowd, someone muttered in a low voice: "We and other soldiers were born and died for the imperial court, why does Pei Yushi treat us as enemies?" ”

The person who spoke didn't know who it was, but it was obvious that he had hit everyone's mind, and it immediately caused a chorus.

"That's right, we have never complained about fighting on the battlefield for the imperial court, why is the imperial court so cold to us?"

"It's just an enemy in front, and someone stabbed in the back, which is chilling."

"If Pei Yushi doesn't return the robe he locked, I will wait for the Anxi army to swear not to give up!"

Gu Qing's eyelids jumped, this group of killers who didn't know the height of the sky, if these words were heard by someone with a heart, these killers in front of them would at least be charged with wandering thousands of miles.

"Shut up! You don't want to die? Gu Qing shouted violently.

The soldiers in front of them gathered more and more, and they were so frightened by Gu Qing's loud shout that they were silent, but everyone's expressions were still unconvinced.

Gu Qing took a deep breath and said slowly: "I have sent troops to rescue the locked robe, don't be impatient, there will be news soon." As for being locked up for no reason, I will give you an explanation, but you also have to keep your mouth shut, what is the reason why those robes were taken, don't you count in your hearts? ”

"It is a capital crime to talk about the king in vain and slander the king! If you can't keep your mouth shut, others will come to ask for your head, the Anxi Army is the Anxi Army of the imperial court, not my Gu Qing's, the thunder, rain and dew of the Son of Heaven are all heaven's grace, why do you need to say more for me? ”

The more Gu Qing spoke, the more intense he became, and the soldiers lowered their heads one after another, and unconsciously took a few steps back collectively.

A bold sergeant couldn't help but say, "Master Hou, can you still save the robe that was taken down?" ”

Gu Qing said coldly: "You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death." ”

"If Pao Ze is killed by Pei Yushi's people, what should I do?"

"I'll explain to you, you don't have to do anything. Remember, you are soldiers who defend the borders of the country, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty depends on you to defend it, and the border is for the king, and it is the Tang Dynasty! How can the ruler of the king slander the king? ”

After speaking, Gu Qing looked around and shouted: "The generals of all departments will immediately control the generals of the department, if they dare to gather people to talk nonsense, don't blame the military law for being ruthless, and sit with the generals." ”

The soldiers looked at each other, and the generals who were watching from a distance immediately rushed to the front, and after punching and kicking, drove the soldiers back to the camp.

Gu Qing sighed softly, and a small storm was suppressed by the bullet, but Gu Qing knew that just now he was forcibly blocking the mouths of the soldiers, but he couldn't calm their angry hearts, Chen Shufeng's move to lock up the soldiers for no reason had already buried a thorn in the hearts of the soldiers of the Anxi Army.

The sting may not hurt, but it won't come out anytime soon.

Returning to the handsome tent, Gu Qing sat on the main seat, waiting for the news of Shen Tian's department with a cold face.

Duan Wuji wore a Confucian shirt, walked in quietly, stood in front of Gu Qing and lowered his head and said, "Master Hou, the student has a word of advice, please accept it." ”

Gu Qing said calmly: "You say." ”

"If Shen Tian's subordinates intercept Chen Shufeng and escort him all back to the camp, the students think that Hou Ye must not do anything to Chen Shufeng."

"Why?"

Duan Wuji said slowly: "Killing Chen Shufeng is a move of will, just to vent his anger for a while, if he kills him, Hou Ye's future is all over, and the Son of Heaven of Chang'an will definitely cure Hou Ye's crimes, Hou Ye has tens of thousands of male soldiers, guarding the Western Regions for the Tang Dynasty, if he is questioned and transferred out because of this matter, he may be imprisoned after returning to Chang'an, even if he is exempted from prison, he may not be reused for the rest of his life, and he will be idle in Chang'an for the rest of his life. ”

Gu Qing smiled: "Wuji, it's rare that you are so sober and rational in analyzing the pros and cons now, it seems that you have really grown a lot by my side." ”

Duan Wuji said respectfully: "It is the Hou Ye who teaches well on weekdays, and the students have gained a lot, and they will eventually grow a little bit." ”

Gu Qing shook his head and said: "If you are in the world, you only know the pros and cons when you encounter things, but you don't know the rights and wrongs of good and evil, even if you are at the top of the people, it is too sad to live, you are unscrupulous, you want to avoid evil, the pros and cons are important, but being a person is not to live to avoid danger, there are many people in the world, knowing that there is a dead end in front of them, they will rush forward desperately, do you think they are stupid?" ”

Duan Wuji was stunned for a moment and said, "They ......"

Gu Qing said in a deep voice: "More than two years ago, there was an incident in Qingcheng County, it was Song Gensheng's trouble, you should know that I gathered many heroes to go to Qingcheng County, in order to protect Song Gensheng, those heroes sacrificed their lives to fight with the enemy, the enemy was outnumbered, they knew that they were dead, and they did not hesitate, and only a few people survived in the end, and all the other heroes died in battle......

"They are buried on the mountainside of our Shiqiao Village, every year Feng Aweng has to take the whole village to the mountain to worship them, every New Year's festival each family has offerings of incense, the children of each family since they can remember, there are elders to tell them the story of those heroes, what a great thing they have done, how tragic and great they died......

"Mowgli, these heroes are the monuments of my life, and they should also be your monuments, telling you that you were born in the world, and some things are more important than life and death and pros and cons, and it is worth risking your life to defend it.

Duan Wuji was in a cold sweat when he heard this, bowed his head and said, "Master Hou, the student is wrong, and the student is taught." ”

Gu Qing smiled and said, "We people from Shiqiao Village don't seek to be rich and noble in our lives, but we want to be worthy of our hearts. A few years later, lying on the bed and closing his eyes, he can say without shame that he has made mistakes in this life, but he has not harmed anyone, and this life will be considered complete. ”

"Yes, Master Hou, students keep it in mind."

Duan Wuji's expression was clear, and he raised his head and asked, "Then Master Hou, have you decided to kill Chen Shufeng?" ”

Gu Qing's face was gloomy again, he rubbed his forehead with great irritability, and sighed: "I really don't want to break into this catastrophe, but the officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army are waiting for justice, if I don't give it, the army's morale will be lost, I used to hear many big people say helplessly what 'the times are forced', I used to laugh at them for being hypocritical and hypocritical, and now I can really taste the taste of 'the times is forced'......"

"If the generals who were taken down were unhindered, or only slightly injured, the matter would be abandoned, and if the soldiers of the battalion refused to accept it, let the generals press down, and if those generals were severely injured or lost their lives......

Duan Wuji's eyelids jumped, staring at Gu Qing's eyes.

Gu Qing's gloomy face was as harsh as ice, and he said coldly: "If the general loses his life, no wonder I have paid it back with blood." ”

The words were like knives, and a cold wind seemed to blow from the blade of the knife, piercing Duan Wuji's heart, and the cold hair stood on end in an instant.

…………

On the vast desert, Chen Shufeng rode his horse and galloped, a rope was tied behind the saddle, and the other end of the rope was firmly tied to a military general of the Anxi Army who looked like a brigade commander, the general had been tortured to the point that he was not human, he was tied to the saddle, he was scarred, the horse was galloping, but the brigade commander was dragged to the ground for several miles, and the person had fallen into a coma.

Chen Shufeng was surrounded by a thousand cavalry that he had brought out from Chang'an.

In order to prevent the Anxi army from rescuing people, Chen Shufeng deliberately did not return to his camp, but led the army north, rode his horse and galloped wildly, and after a hundred miles away from Qiuzi City, he came to a desert area where no one was around.

What followed was the process of torture, which was very cruel, Chen Shufeng seemed to have a grudge against the Anxi army, and tortured three of Li Siye's generals to serious injuries.

The torture is just a process, not a goal, what Chen Shufeng wants is their confession, it is best to be able to take Gu Qingpan's bite of the confession, and get this confession, what he did today can be regarded as a complete merit and can be rewarded.

It is not the reward of the Son of Heaven.

After running wildly for a few miles, the brigade commander who was dragged behind him was unconscious, so Chen Shufeng ordered the team to stop, dismounted and squatted in front of the brigade commander to look at it for a while, and then nodded with satisfaction.

A subordinate general stepped up, pulled Chen Shufeng aside, and said softly: "Captain Chen, has what you done today a little too much?" Gu Qing's temper is not very good, if we kill his people, Gu Qing is afraid that he will not let us go when he turns around......"

Chen Shufeng sneered: "I'm afraid of him? No matter how bold Gu Qing is, does he dare to kill me? We came to Anxi to supervise the Anxi Army, Gu Qing also has to look at our faces, the last time we fought with the Hexi Army, the Son of Heaven was already very angry, where did Gu Qing dare to move? If he does it to us again, his life will be over, do you really think he is a deadly character? ”

Seeing his angry face, the general was secretly afraid in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Captain Chen, the villain doesn't understand, do you have an old grudge against Gu Qing?" When we first arrived in Anxi, you insisted on not wanting to live in the camp of the Anxi Army, and had to set up another camp to distinguish yourself from the Anxi Army. ”
