Chapter 448: Sacrifice (2)
"Although the courtesan is beautiful in appearance, she has a human face and a snake heart. We are now almost certain that this person has a bad idea, and as long as we take the search credentials, we can convict him. Why did the lord leave them on the side of the couch? Lu Chengyong said beside Guo Shao with a puzzled expression.
Guo Shao was speechless, and when he looked up, he realized that night had gradually fallen.
This is a suburb, where many villagers and ordinary people lived, but now there are no lights in the radius, and the arrival of the army has scared people away. Surrounded by simple tents, the old tarpaulin has been eroded by wind and rain, and the grass and trees have become stained with dirt; There are no elaborate lanterns, no beautiful lanterns, only rough bonfires and torches. Under the dark night sky, everything seemed to return to the barbaric era, coarse and rudimentary.
But the night sky in the north was slightly brighter than in the other directions, as if a huge light was summoning in the distance...... It was the lights of Jinling City. A prosperous and wealthy city, even if Guo Shao is far away from it, he can still imagine the bright lights there from the light.
At this moment, Qin Shishi, the leader of the trilogy, spoke: "The maid of the Chinese army went to the river to wash her clothes, and took a handkerchief from the hand of the courtesan outside, and the last general felt that it was a token for them to communicate inside and outside. ”
Lu Chengyong said: "The maid is a person chosen by the lord at will, and she should not be an accomplice arranged by the other party in advance." It's the beautiful courtesan chosen by the lord, who looks extra beautiful, what's her name? ”
Qin Shishi said: "I saw Zuo Shaoqing before, and asked him to check the roster, the woman's name is 'Wang Yao', but I don't know the origin for a while. ”
Lu Chengyong turned around, clenched his fists and said: "The last general doesn't want to talk much, but these people are too strange and sinister, and I also ask the lord to stay away, and it will not be too late to wait for the division to find out the details." ”
Guo Shao glanced at him, and the details of "Wang Yao" in his heart were very clear, it was Zhou Xian, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
"The maid is not allowed to live in the big tent of the Chinese army, but Wang Yao is not in any danger." Guo Shao said without hesitation.
"Lord......" Lu Chengyong was a little anxious.
Guo Shao raised his hand and made a gesture to stop it. Lu Chengyong frowned, and said: "Since the lord insists on this, he can set up a secret mechanism next to the bed, and if someone approaches in the middle of the night, he can wake up." ”
"No need." Guo Shao smiled, "I have thought of everything you can think of, don't worry, she won't do anything to me." You will not make a mistake without my permission. ”
Lu Chengyong was speechless.
Guo Shao turned around and wanted to leave, and said casually: "Wait a while, report the list of generals on duty at night in the army, the weather is cold, everyone should rest early." ”
When he returned to the tent, he found that the plum sprig on the rough board had withered a little. He couldn't help but glance sideways at the curtain in the middle of the tent.
Li Yu can send Zhou Xian over, it should be a desperate thought...... It's like Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, and the crown prince Dan gave up the head of a loyal and good general because he had a bigger goal, that is, the life of the King of Qin. Guo Shao has guessed Li Yu's intention for this peace talks through speculation of various details and signs.
Guo Shao sat down in front of the desk and took out a picture to look at, but his heart was still troubled, all kinds of emotions were intertwined, and the feeling of anger was the strongest, which was the core of the mood at this time. If it weren't for Zhou Xian, Guo Shao would not be a vegetarian, and he would definitely arrest and torture these people.
Two concentric circles are drawn on the map, which is Jiangning, the capital of the Southern Tang Kingdom, which is where Guo Shao wants...... But he still wants something else in this campaign, that is, Zhou Xian.
Zhou Xian has already been sent to the door, and it is close at hand; But isn't it far away?
Guo Shao glanced at the plum on the table again, gradually withering and withering, no matter how powerful and capable you are, you can't reverse its fragile beauty. He can easily destroy a person, imprison a person, but he can't do that if he wants to get her.
"Whew......" Guo Shao let out a long breath. In addition to the Fu sisters, he has met many women, but he is the most attentive to Zhou Xian, and when he was fighting in Shu and in Tokyo, he remembered her and never forgot her. I can't figure out why it happened for a while, anyway, it's not just because of Zhou Xian's world-class appearance.
The scene of skin-to-skin intimacy and fish and water joy with Zhou Xian came to mind, her gentle moaning is still in her ears, and her body temperature feels like it is at hand. When that kind of tacit understanding happens, not only women will care about such things, but even Guo Shao will be nostalgic. Zhou Xian is born with a delicate and pitiful and very feminine tenderness, which makes people can't help but feel pity and sympathy.
Guo Shao took a deep breath and put his palm on his forehead and rubbed it for a while. Xindao: First of all, Zhou Xian has something unspeakable, so Li Yu dared to send her over with confidence, so she didn't take the initiative to inform her of the danger after seeing herself...... What's so hard to say? Maybe there are people she cares about in Li Yu's hands, or maybe she is reluctant to betray her family and country; If Guo Shao is forced, it will put her in a desperate situation, as well as a situation of inner collapse.
Secondly, Guo Shao decided that a woman like Zhou Xian couldn't kill anyone at all, at least not Guo Shao...... He is still very confident in his ability to recognize people. Therefore, letting Zhou Xian live here is also silently expressing an attitude of trust.
Perhaps, the Assassin should be given a chance to carry out this time. In this way, Zhou Xian can send a message to the outside world and Jinling, it's not that she doesn't want to do it, or she doesn't do it. This can relieve the pressure on Zhou Xian.
After thinking about it, his mood gradually calmed down, and he thought that what he had done was not at fault. Guo Shao muttered in a low voice: "I'm just trying to deal with the things in front of me to get what I want, the result, and avoid regrets again." ”
He calmed down and took out a cloth bag containing various messages that had been reported recently. Eyes are once again on the Jingkou on the east side of Jiangning City...... The upcoming Battle of Jingkou was a key battle that determined the safety of the Great Zhou army on the south bank of the Yangtze River.
The current Zhou army and the north and south passages of the Yangtze River are actually under the threat of being attacked by the Southern Tang Army at Hukou in the west and the Southern Tang Naval Division at Jingkou. Once the Jingkou Southern Tang Naval Division was eaten, the situation of the entire battle situation changed, and the situation of possession was stabilized.
…… The curtain moved slightly, as if the wind had been poured in. Zhou Xian looked out in the gap, only Guo Shao was sitting alone in front of the desk, she felt very nervous, and after looking at it, she let go of the curtain and took two steps back.
There were no torches in the living quarters, and the light inside was dim, except for a shallow light that came in from the outside. Zhou Xian paced around in this square inch, his light body seemed to be floating. She is actually not thin, but her bones are very slender, so she looks very slim, and her waist is flexible and graceful with hard practice, but her breasts and other parts are relatively plump. A well-proportioned and delicate person, in this tarpaulin tent covered with dirt, looks very abrupt, like a delicate flower growing on the ruins.
However, her face was not good, a little pale, and her expression was melancholy and frightened. She finally stopped and quietly unfolded a handkerchief with four words on it: Don't forget your words.
