Chapter 31 The Jade Seal of the Country

"Yes!"

Without further ado, Xu Jue took Zhou Yu, Gao Chong, Yang Zhi, Wang Yanzhang and others and two thousand elite soldiers to Luoyang quickly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

But he said that he traveled all the way, and in about a day, he had come to Luoyang City five miles away, only to see the thick smoke and fire, and countless wisps of smoke kept drifting away with the wind, which seemed to indicate that the souls in the city also went with it.

Xu Jue's expression was embarrassed and painful, and he shouted: "It's not good! Luoyang was burned! ā€

The rest of the generals nodded and sighed: the ancient capital of hundreds of years was burned like this, and it must have been destroyed like Xianyang four hundred years ago!

"My lord," Zhou Yu's face was full of anger, "This Dong thief has lost his conscience and done such a thing that people and gods are angry about, and after his death, he will be dug up and whipped by the people!" ā€

Xu Jue nodded, didn't squeak, and continued to move forward.

Half a cup of tea, when I came to the city, I saw the two big characters "Luoyang" hanging high on the city tower, but the words that should show the power of heaven are now dark and crooked.

The group remained silent and frowned, as if preparing for the sight they were about to see inside the city.

As soon as I stepped into the city, I felt a strong smell of death rushing over my face, mixed with the smell of burning, charcoal, and gunsmoke......

Xu Jue and the others looked fixedly, only to see the flames in the city, black smoke covering the ground, crying monstrous, and corpses all over the ground, Xu Jue sighed and ordered: "Give me the fire first!" ā€

After the soldiers extinguished the fire, Xu Jue looked at the mess and couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity that Luoyang has been the capital for more than 200 years, and it is all destroyed at this moment, which is better than Xiang Yu's burning of Afang Palace!" The rest of the people were also embarrassed when they heard this.

Looking at the palace that was still billowing black smoke in the distance, Xu Jue pointed with his hand: "All the soldiers will go to the palace with me to see if there are any people from the minister's palace who have survived." ā€

Immediately stood up and jumped out of the horse and galloped to the palace, and the generals followed closely behind.

Xu Qi is no longer sad at this time, after all, what's the use of grieving? The dead will not be resurrected, the city will not be restored, only the treasure is the most important.

This is a competition with time, and if you don't act quickly, it will be difficult to find the treasure by yourself when the princes all arrive.

When I came to the palace, the palace that should have been resplendent was also bleak, without the scenery of the past, at this time it was a mess, all kinds of utensils were scattered all over the place, none of them were intact, and occasionally there were a few corpses, but they were not like corpses everywhere on the street, because these palace maids and eunuchs were taken to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo and acted as Xindu Palace people, and there was no massacre.

Most of these corpses were naked palace maids, their distorted bodies and painful and helpless expressions seemed to engrave the atrocities they had suffered before they died.

Xu Qi and the others frowned, the capital of a country had become a hell on earth, but they didn't sigh, after all, time waited for no one, and immediately ordered: "Wang Yanzhang led all the soldiers to extinguish the fire and search and rescue, and finally gathered in front of the palace; Zhou Yu and Yang Zhigao pet come with me! ā€

"Yes!"

So go straight to the southeast corner to find a dry well, it is not easy to find a dry well in the palace, it took half an hour to find an inconspicuous dry well, the mouth of the well is about three feet, enough for a person to go down the well to explore.

Xu Jue looked at the puzzled looks on the faces of the three of them, and said, "The day before yesterday, I calculated that the omen of great wealth and nobility was here, and now there is a dry well here, but is anyone willing to go down and investigate?" ā€

Yang Zhi arched his hand and said: "The last general is willing to go!" ā€

"Okay, then ask General Yang to go to the well to investigate!"

Xu Jue asked Gao Zhong to tie a rope to Yang Zhi's waist and let him down, and gave him a torch, agreeing to pull the rope at the bottom of the well.

Xu Jue was pleasantly surprised, but he was not overjoyed, and said quietly: "Pull!" ā€

Gao Zhong pulled the rope effortlessly, as if he was pulling an empty rope.

When Yang Zhi came out of the well, Zhou Yu was startled and exclaimed.

Xu Qi looked intently and found that Yang Zhi was holding the corpse of a woman, he was happy in his heart, and boasted: "General Yang has worked hard!" At the same time, I was thinking: there really is a woman's corpse.

turned to look at Gao Chong: "General Gao's divine power!" pulled the two up, but their faces were not red and they were not panting. Zhou Yu on the side calmed his emotions, turned his head to look at Gao Chong, and was also amazed.

Gao Zhong shook his hand modestly: "There is nothing but strength and stool." ā€

Xu Qi smiled and went to check the body.

This woman is richly dressed and has a good appearance, she must have been dead for a long time, but what is surprising is that there is no smell in her body, and her skin is elastic, as if she is asleep.

There was a brocade bag hanging around her neck, Xu Jue took it off, opened it, and found that there was a small red wooden box inside, and there was a gold lock tightly locked, Xu Jue couldn't open it even though she tried hard.

Seeing this, Gao Chong said, "The lord asked me to come." ā€

Xu Jue handed over the box, and with a little force on his two big hands, he broke the box, revealing a jade seal, although Xu Jue already knew what it was, but he couldn't help but breathe quickly when he saw it, and the rest of them also exclaimed.

Xu Jue carefully held it in his hand, there was a horn inlaid with gold, and the jade seal was engraved with eight large characters: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity." ā€

Xu Qi asked Zhou Yu: "Can Gong Jin recognize this thing?" ā€

Zhou Yu looked excited, glanced at Yang Zhigao next to him and said: "The last general has heard a little, this is the jade seal of the country, the ten permanent servants lost this thing when they were in chaos, and at this moment they were actually met by the lord, it can be seen that the lord has a ninety-five elephant!" ā€

Xu Jue laughed loudly, both happy to get the jade seal and cautious to Zhou Yu: "Please keep it a secret and don't spread it." ā€

Everyone said yes in unison.

At this time, Xiao Sanguo prompted: "Congratulations to the lord for completing the achievement 'Inheritance of the Jade Seal', gaining 300 ability points, and the command rate has increased by 10 points, which is now 78, and entering the ranks of third-rate handsome talents, obtaining 50 ability points, and currently having a total of 550 points." ā€

"Oh? What a surprise, so good! ā€

Xu Jue was overjoyed, and at the same time carefully placed the jade seal in the armor, asked the two to bury the woman's body alive, and then led everyone to the front of the palace to meet Yang Zhi.

But how could there be good things left in this palace? must have been looted by Dong Zhuo a long time ago, the reason why Xu Jue asked the sergeants to search the hall was nothing more than to break up everyone, so he could take a group of cronies to find the jade seal, Wang Yanzhang was not a cronie, so he was sent as the captain to lead the soldiers to search and rescue, just in case.

Wang Yanzhang saw Xu Qi and arched his hand: "Lord, there is nothing abnormal in the hall. ā€

Xu Jue nodded: "In that case, let's withdraw the army later, it's useless to stay here longer." ā€

Then he led the people away.

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he saw Yuan Shao and others, and naturally they had to say some greetings.

Xu Qi instantly possessed the actor, sighed, gritted his teeth and said: "This Dong thief is really out of conscience!" Now Luoyang has almost become a dead city! How can there be a magnificent image of the past! ā€

Yuan Shao and the others looked at each other when they heard this, and they were speechless for a while.

Yuan Shu suddenly said sourly: "I didn't expect Boyu to have arrived in Luoyang first, it's really fast, I'm just afraid that I have looted a lot of good things, right?" ā€

Wang Yanzhang said angrily behind Xu Qi: "How can you talk? I waited for the city to fight the fire first, and then searched and rescued the palace to find out if there were any survivors, how could I plunder! ā€

Yuan Shu snorted coldly, raised his eyebrows, and said, "What are you?" How dare you talk to me like that! And with no evidence, who knows where you hide your things? ā€

Wang Yanzhang's face turned red, his eyes were full of anger, and he was about to have a seizure, but he saw Xu Jue's cold face, and said loudly: "Yuan Taishou framed a good person like this, isn't he afraid of adult laughing stock?" How can we and the other soldiers rob the treasure when they have nothing, no armor, no weapons? ā€

The rest of the princes nodded when they saw it, and sure enough, they were all empty-handed, so they kept saying: "Yes, you see where they look like looting, and the soldiers are dark, which is the proof that they are busy fighting fires!" ā€

Yuan Shu was unhappy when he heard it, but he couldn't argue, and he was speechless for a while.

Yuan Shao saw that the scene was a little embarrassing, so he smiled and said: "General Boyu has worked hard to extinguish the fire, since there is nothing to do, please go to Bishui Pass to garrison, and I will return immediately." ā€

Xu Jue breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he didn't want to waste time here, the sooner he went back, the better, and immediately said: "Obey the orders of the alliance leader!" ā€

He immediately led the people back.

On the way back, Wang Yanzhang was still puffing up, and Xu Qi comforted: "General Wang, don't be angry, this Yuan Shu is not a good class, why should the general be like him?" ā€

Wang Yanzhang sighed: "The last general just can't get used to his villainous face, and he gets angry when he sees him like that." ā€

Xu Jue thought to himself, this Yuan Shu was a poor person, with a sandbag face, so he smiled and said: "General Wang, Yuan Shu will definitely suffer in the future, and I will ask you to punish him personally at that time, okay?" ā€

Wang Yanzhang smiled when he heard this: "That's good, I really can't get out of this evil breath if I don't teach this birdman a lesson!" ā€

Xu Jue laughed and didn't answer, and the group went straight to Bishui Pass.

When he arrived at Bishui Pass, Xu Jue ordered the troops to rest for two days, then went to the guard, sat down, and discussed with Zhou Yu: "This time everyone went to Luoyang to search for wealth, although Dong Thief has retreated to Chang'an, but I heard that there are more than 5,000 cars loaded with wealth, presumably the speed is slow, I don't know what Gong Jin has to say?" ā€

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "The lord, please forgive Zhou Yu for saying bluntly, there is a lot of wealth but it is never desirable, there is one person who is ten million times more important than wealth, and the lord can try to take it." ā€

Xu Qi knew what Zhou Yu was referring to, and said with a smile: "The Son of Heaven? ā€

"Haha, exactly, the lord is wise, if we can intercept the Son of Heaven, we can support the Son of Heaven and carry out the order of the Son of Heaven, command the heroes, and be invincible."

"What Gong Jin said is very good, and I have long had this intention, but I am afraid that the thief army is strong, the manpower is insufficient, the road is long, and I can't do it."

Zhou Yu analyzed: "Dong Zhuo's army moved to Chang'an, and there must be heavy troops guarding the front and back roads, so all the way to the mighty road, no one will dare to fight the idea of these riches, for a long time, the Xiliang army will definitely take advantage of the situation and relax the defense; And the accompanying eunuchs are mostly Gong'e eunuchs and other eunuchs who can't stand the long journey, the road must rest, I carefully looked at the map, and found that on the way to Chang'an, there is a place called 'Horse Valley', this place is open, and the thieves will rest here. ā€

Xu Jue listened and nodded: "Gong Jin is saying that we will lead the elite cavalry to surprise the enemy from the rear while the enemy is unprepared?" ā€

"That's exactly what it means, it's just that the road is far away, and it's definitely sleepy and sleepy all the way, so the soldiers can walk and rest, and it only takes two days to arrive."

"Show me the map."

Xu Jue reached out to Zhou Yu for a map.

Zhou Yu handed over the map, Xu Jue found Chang'an, looked east, and saw Xingyang about two hundred miles away from Chang'an, and immediately frowned: "This Xingyang is guarded by Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong, and it is estimated that the Xiliang army will almost be able to reach Xingyang in two days, and it will be difficult to act at that time." ā€

Zhou Yu also frowned and said: "If, as the lord said, Xu Rong guards Xingyang, with Li Ru's strategy, Xu Rong will definitely be notified in advance to do a good job of reserve work, in case the chasing army attacks, I might as well make a detour to Xingyang, and intercept the Xiliang army when it is greatly relaxed." ā€

"That's a good plan, let's get out without delay."

Zhou Yu nodded: "It's just that this trip still needs to be visited by the lord in person, firstly, whether it is successful or not, it can boost morale, and secondly, if you can intercept the Son of Heaven, you can take the opportunity to show your loyalty." ā€

Xu Jue nodded without hesitation: "It's so good, there will be Lao Gongjin guarding the gate these days." ā€

Zhou Yu arched his hand: "The last general will not give up!" ā€
