After the soldiers successfully captured the capital city of Shunzhou without bloodshed, Guan Yu strictly restrained his subordinates to do nothing against the local people. The attitude of the people in the city towards the soldiers of Da Chu has gradually changed from the initial evasion and fear to acceptance and affection.

The thin-faced Shunzhou County Shouyu Jianyuan received a very high courtesy from Guan Yu, the king of the north of the Great Chu Ding, and was treated as a guest. Guan Yu gave Liu Qian a recital, in which he greatly praised the righteous actions of the Yu county guard, and recommended him to continue to serve as the county guard, and accompanied the remaining Qin messenger Li Jingcheng to jointly govern the place according to the laws of the Great Chu, re-register the population, and distribute the land.

Everything was arranged, and Guan Yu personally led the team to leave the Shunzhou Mansion City like a gust of wind, and quickly killed the next target. In less than a month, the momentum was like a bamboo, and three Great Qi Mansion cities were conquered one after another, and the troops were directed at the capital.

On this day, Guan Yu was chatting and laughing with the generals in the military tent, discussing the next offensive strategy and goals. The guards outside the door hurriedly entered the account to report: Li Jingcheng, the lord of the Qincha, rushed here and said that he had something important to ask to see General Guan.

Guan Yu waved his hand indifferently and said, "Brother Jingcheng is here?" Let him in. ”

Li Jingcheng, who was dusty, walked in and greeted the generals while greeting them. Everyone politely returned the salute to him one by one.

Guan Yu raised his head and smiled: "What? You don't take care of the affairs of the state capitals that our army has conquered in the rear, what are you doing on the front line? ”。

Li Jingcheng bowed slightly and said: "There are a few important things I want to discuss with General Guan face-to-face, and I hope to get the general's full help." ”

Guan Yu looked at his serious expression, and couldn't help laughing: "Let's say, you and I are not outsiders, I will spare no effort to do what I can, but let's talk ugly ahead: there are a lot of people and horses left for you to garrison, and I have to lead my troops all the way into Dadu here, and I won't give any soldiers to me!" ”。

Li Jingcheng replied: "My army moves quickly, attacking the city all the way, how many soldiers you will feel that it is not enough, I understand this." But you take a city and immediately slap your ass and leave, leaving a mess for me to face alone, and it's a bit of a mess to deal with. ”

Guan Yu looked up at him a few times in amazement, then glanced at the generals in the tent, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't you blame us for attacking too quickly and no one staying with you?" If you feel that the affairs are too complicated, you can ask the Holy Lord to send more people from Pingzhou to help you! ”。

Li Jingcheng said: "The problem is here: Pingzhou is far away from here, and the distant water does not quench the thirst of the near. Therefore, I have come to implore General Guan to appoint some people from among the civilian officials in the army to me to take care of local government affairs with me. Also, after the army left, there were many young people in the local area who actively asked to enlist in the army, and I don't know anything about military affairs, so you have to send some battle-hardened commanders to regulate and train them, right? It is also good to replenish the men and horses needed on the front line in time. ”

Guan Yu lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said happily: "Brother Xian's words are reasonable, and it is indeed difficult for you." Isn't there a saying that it is hard to stand alone? All the burdens have to be put on your shoulders! And because of the long distance, it will be difficult for Pingzhou to send you as a helper for a while. I have promised you both of these things, that I will let you take away half of the civilian personnel in our army, and that I will send you fifty commanders to assist you in training new soldiers, and to replenish the supply of troops for me at any time. ”

Li Jingcheng stretched his brows and thanked him again and again. When he straightened up, he stopped talking, and his expression was solemn.

Guan Yuqi said: "Is there anything else?" Let's talk about it together."

Li Jingcheng lowered his voice and said: "There is still bad news, please retreat from the general first, I want to talk to you alone." ”

Guan Yu suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and hurriedly waved his hand to retreat from everyone.

When only the two of them were left in the tent, Li Jingcheng looked at Guan Yu steadily, and said cautiously: "Brother Tai mourns, I just received news from the rear that Miss Ni's injury has relapsed, and unfortunately she has gone west. ”

Guan Yu's body shook suddenly, as if he had been hit by something, and he fell down on the chair behind him, instantly sweating profusely.

In an instant, the soft and fluffy green silk of the Feiyan girl, the delicate and bright red lips, and the reluctant eyes at the time of parting clearly appeared in front of his eyes.

Guan Yu's eyes blurred instantly, he quickly closed his eyes, clenched his teeth, and lowered his head without saying a word.

I don't know how long it took, he slowly raised his head, his lips trembled and muttered, "How can this be, is it really impossible to get along with me?!" ”。

Li Jingcheng hurriedly stepped forward and comforted in a low voice: "Take care of your brother on the Taiwan Festival." I heard that the imperial doctors sent by the military Langzhong and the Holy Lord tried their best and tried their best, but in the end, they still failed to save a wisp of Miss Ni's soul. ”

Guan Yu still closed his eyes tightly, waved his hand weakly and asked, "How long has this happened?" Where is Miss Feiyan now? ”。

Li Jingcheng accompanied him and said in a low voice: "About ten days ago, I ordered someone to find a very quiet feng shui treasure outside Shunzhou City, and put it into the earth. ”

Guan Yu said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Jingcheng Xian, can you retreat first, I want to stay alone quietly for a while." ”

Li Jingcheng nodded knowingly, bowed slightly, turned around and tiptoed out.

In the empty tent, only Guan Yu's lonely figure was left to sit withered.

A snow-white butterfly silently flapped its wings and flew into the big tent, hovering in the air for a moment, landing directly on Guan Yu's shoulder, retracting its transparent wings, and lying there quietly motionless.

On the wide official road, dust was flying, and horses' hooves were sounding.

Seven or eight big men rode on galloping horses, and surrounded a slender woman in the middle, with a soft whip around her waist.

"Young lady, the front is in chaos, I heard that General Guan led the team directly to the capital of Daqi. At this time, we go to find him, I am afraid that the road will be very uneven. A strong man turned his head and said.

Chen Linger's eyes were shining, and she smiled lightly: "What are you afraid of?" It's not like you've never seen this girl's methods, who will take the initiative to send her to death? Besides, don't you have a few of you to escort you? ”。

The strong man raised his head and laughed like a bell. After a while, he stopped laughing and said: "In the name of beauty, we are your guards, but in fact, even if our brothers are tied together, they may not be your opponents!" ”。

Chen Ling'er on the horse smiled slightly, didn't say anything more, just lightly pinched the horse's belly and accelerated the speed of travel.

After turning a bend, the terrain began to become uneven, and rows of thick trees were scattered across the road, shielding them from the sun overhead with their thick canopies.

There was a sharp sound of "whoosh", and one of the guards quickly pulled out the sword hanging from his waist, his wrist shook slightly, and with a "snap", a sharp arrow falling from the sky was knocked to the ground by him with a wave of his hand.

The strong man cautiously circled his horse back, and shouted at the same time: "There is an ambush, everyone beware!" Protect the young lady! ”。

With his shout, several strong men on the rest of the horses quickly showed their blades, and at the same time circled the war horses, surrounding Chen Ling'er and her mount in the center.

Chen Ling'er was surprised in her heart: Could it be that she really met bandits? Bandits? It doesn't matter who he is, if he dares to provoke this girl, he will let him come and go! While thinking, she skillfully pulled out the soft whip coiled around her waist and squeezed it in her hand.

Strangely, after the sharp arrow was knocked down, there was neither a crisp gong sound on the hillsides on either side, nor a group of people rushing down, waving their flags and shouting.
