The villagers of Qian County recovered the corpses of the clan warriors from the battlefield one by one, and planned to bury them with dignity. The bodies of the other thieves were piled up and burned.

The raging fire was burning in the wilderness, billowing black smoke into the sky, and Guo Jia, who could smell the pungent scorching smell from a distance, sighed slightly.

Da Qiao, who was beside him, asked out loud: "Childe, are you sighing for these thieves?" ”

Guo Jia looked up at the starry night sky and said softly: "They were originally ordinary people, and if they didn't have to do it as a last resort, no one would want to pick up a butcher's knife. ”

"The son is kind-hearted and sympathetic to the people, but he also knows that the root cause of the world's great fortune is not the people, but the sky." Da Qiao raised his face and looked at Guo Jia with an indescribable excitement in his autumn eyes.

At first glance, he didn't understand it, but Guo Jia knew that Da Qiao was referring to the imperial court, Tian, I'm afraid it was the Son of Heaven.

Turning his gaze to look at Da Qiao for a moment, Guo Jia reached out and stroked her hair, and said softly: "Are you hating in your heart?" ”

Da Qiao shuddered and nodded imperceptibly.

If it weren't for the incompetence of the Son of Heaven and the inability to govern the country, how could the world be in chaos and the mob would not stop? How could two sisters lose their only loved one? If you don't hate your father when he dies, then what else can make people hate in this world?

Picking her up in his arms, Guo Jia had no thoughts in his heart, gently stroked her back, and said gently: "What's the use of hate? If Qiao Gongquan has knowledge, he will only hope that Xiao Qiao can be carefree and spend his life happily. ”

Sticking to Guo Jia's chest, Da Qiao's pretty face was ruddy, a little confused, and she said lightly: "Following the son is Da Qiao's happiness." However, Da Qiao doesn't want to see the tragedy happen again, there are more people in the world who are more miserable than Da Qiao, Da Qiao hopes that Gongzi can stand up and rule the world in a peaceful and troubled world, so that the people in the world can live and work in peace and contentment, and be happy and worry-free. Da Qiao also believes that Gongzi will one day be able to rule the world. ”

Guo Jia looked shocked, looked down at Da Qiao in his arms, and asked in a deep voice, "Da Qiao, who taught you this?" ”

Dominating the world? Guo Jia didn't think about it, but now he thinks about it? It's also a fool's dream.

Da Qiao raised his head and looked at Guo Jia bravely, and said firmly: "Who in the world can compare to Gongzi Wen Taowuluo?" Who can love the people more than a son? ”

Guo Jia smiled bitterly, rubbed her head, and chuckled: "Da Qiao, I, Guo Jia, can choose to be the commander of the army, or I can choose to be a strategic military advisor, but I can't be the master of people." In today's situation, the biggest limit for me Guo Jia is to find myself a person who can help me wholeheartedly, which is far luckier than many people. ”

"Why? Even Tao Qian, who is inconsistent on the outside and inside, can be named the state pastor, but he is actually a prince, is the son not as good as Tao Qian? Da Qiao grabbed Guo Jia's shirt with a little excitement and stared at Guo Jia.

But Guo Jia shook his head and said, "In some places, I am indeed not as good as Tao Qian. Tao Qian has soldiers, I don't, if I recruit soldiers, I will be immediately suppressed by the imperial court with rebellion. Tao Qian has land, I don't, I don't even have soldiers, how can I have a territory? If I want to be a leader, who will raise filial piety for me? Pay to buy an official? Even if he takes office, he will be restrained by the local nobles, and his development will be difficult. Tao Qian is famous, I don't, although Tao Qian's reputation is meager, but it is far higher than me Guo Jia in the eyes of the world's scholars, if I Guo Jia fight the world by myself, hehe, who in the world will look down on me, a person from a poor family? The scholars don't support it, the wealthy businessmen don't support it, I just have no talent to work, and no money and food supply, how can I, Guo Jia, rise in troubled times? Da Qiao, I can only promise you, in the future, I will assist a monarch who can treat the people the most, the world, the real troubled times, is not far away. ”

Maybe the world in the eyes of ordinary people is already a big chaos, but now at most, there are bandits and bandits in various places to gather people to make trouble, and in less than two years, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty will be funeral, and the warlord Dong Zhuo of Xiliang will enter the customs.

Two days later, Xu Chu finally woke up, and after settling down with relatives and friends for funeral, Xu Chu, who was dressed in linen and filial piety, came to visit Guo Jia in person.

In the three simple houses in Qian County, Guo Jia and his entourage temporarily stayed here.

The first time he saw Guo Jia, Xu Chu knelt down and bowed three times to thank him, and after getting up, he hugged his fists and said to Guo Jia: "I Xu Chu thanked Engong for saving his life, if there is no Engong to save him, it is not a pity for me to die a cheap life, but this villager may not be able to escape." ”

Guo Jia stepped forward to hold Xu Chu's hands, shook his head and said: "Zhong Kang bravely resisted the enemy, he is a rare hero today, if you and I are in an exchange situation, Zhong Kang will definitely take action." ”

Xu Chu nodded sullenly and said, "That's natural." ”

"In this way, you and I are fellow believers, why bother to say thanks? It is said that it is the luck of my Guo Jia's life to be able to make friends with Zhongkang today, and when I say that you and I have agreed, now we have to fulfill it. ”

led Xu Chu into the hall of the house, although the room was narrow, but it could not stop their pride, and the wine was put on the table, and everyone sat on the ground, raising a glass to drink.

When Xu Chu heard that Guo Jia and others had fled from Xuzhou, he raised his glass to Guo Jia and said: "I have heard of Guo Jia's name before, and I thought it was nonsense, so I spread it falsely. I wondered, how could a fourteen-year-old boy set fire to 10,000 yellow turban thieves in the long society, it would be good not to be scared to pee his pants, but I didn't expect to see me today After seeing Fengxiao, I knew that I had eyes and no beads, little princess, I Xu Chu respects you! ”

Guo Jia laughed, drank the wine in the cup, and in the narrow room, there was laughter and laughter.

Gan Ning, as the earliest outsider who traveled with Guo Jia, told Guo Jia's actions along the way as a talking point, Xu Chu was fascinated by it, and he couldn't wait to be immersed in the scene and empathize with him to experience the happy enmity and hatred together.

Linjiang skillfully rescued the Jinfan thief, Changsha scraped Sun Bofu, and Xuzhou Weizhen Tao Gongzu ...... Now coupled with the killing of all thieves in Qiaoxian County, Guo Jia has been in less than half a year since he came out of Yingchuan, but it is more exciting than many people's lives, if Xiao Zhong is to say, I am afraid that he will have to add Hedong angrily slashing Wei Zhongdao.

When everyone was drunk, the topic also turned to life ambitions, Gan Ning Zhou Tai naturally needless to say, helping the poor and punishing and eliminating evil is their old business, and now after following Guo Jia, they are making contributions on the battlefield and protecting the territory and the people.

When they asked Guo Jia, Guo Jia just said lightly: "The world is peaceful." ”

It's just four words, but behind it is a bumpy road with a long way to go.

Xu Chu was in awe, put down the wine bowl, hugged his fist to Guo Jia and said: "Little Taigong, I don't have such a grand ambition as you, I just want to kill the enemy and make a contribution to the peace of the world, if you can afford me, take me with you, I will serve the hero with you, and I can be a pawn, I Xu Chu will be satisfied." ”

Guo Jia helped him up and teased: "If all the pawns are as powerful as Xu Zhongkang, then wouldn't the general who led the troops want the gods to descend to earth?" ”

Hahaha......

Just as everyone was drinking and laughing, Xiao Zhong entered the room and came to Guo Jia's side and said, "Little Taigong, the imperial court issued a list and ordered all counties and counties to arrest Xiao Taigong." ”

Before Guo Jia could react, Gan Ning slapped the case and said angrily: "It must be Tao Gongzu, an old thief!" ”

You don't have to think much about this to know that killing the person of the Hedong Wei family is at best a murder crime, but killing the pottery merchant and Tao Qian almost lost his life, that is, murdering the court officials, to put it mildly, you can be convicted of treason.

"Hehe, we turned Xuzhou upside down, Tao Gongzu lost his son and grieved, and it is understandable that the court will arrest me, it doesn't matter." Guo Jia didn't care at all, how many officials in the imperial court would execute it was still unknown, the decree had not yet been reached, and how many people would carry out an order wanted for a criminal?

But Xiao Zhong looked worried, and said worriedly: "Little Taigong, we travel like the wind when we come out, but the old and young in the Yingchuan family ......."

Xiao Zhong's worries are not groundless, after all, Yingchuan has a large number of children of the scholar clan who do not like Guo Jia, if he uses the topic to make trouble, I am afraid that those villagers in the family who are like flesh and blood will have a thunderous disaster.

Drinking the last bowl of wine with his head up, Guo Jia wiped his mouth and smiled at Xiao Zhong: "Don't worry, there are talents and Yuan Zhi, those small people can't make waves." ”

Xiao Zhong suddenly realized, and after thinking of Xi Zhicai and Xu Shu, he also put his mind at ease.

"Zhongkang, I plan to leave Qian County early tomorrow morning, now I am a key criminal called by the imperial court to be arrested by the world, if I stay here any longer, it will inevitably bring bad luck to the people of Qian County."

As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, Xu Chu got up and said, "Then I'll go back and pack my bags, and leave with the little princess." ”

……

Yingchuan

Xun Yan, who was in a Confucian shirt and robe, handed over a land deed to Xi Zhicai, and said with emotion: "Fengxiao has traveled for only half a year, but he has repeatedly committed heinous crimes. ”

Xi Zhicai took the title deed and handed it to Guo Xiu next to him, bowed to Xun Yan and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiuruo." Fengxiao is uninhibited, his surname is like this, I don't know how many years I have persuaded him, but he has never changed, his words and deeds are the same, hehe, when he comes back, Brother Hugh Ruo will also come forward to admonish a few words. ”

Xun Yan, who shook his head and smiled bitterly, waved his hand and left.

Guo Xiu, who was as calm as a mountain on the side, flipped through the title deeds and said to Xi Zhicai: "Sir, these title deeds are no problem, they have all been replaced with your name." ”

Xi Zhicai nodded, and transferred all the fields and houses under Guo Jia's name to his own name, which can cut off the idea that the Yingchuan clan wants to take the opportunity to play, Guo Jia has no blood relatives here, and will not be implicated, these people, nominally, are not related to Guo Jia.

Recently, Zuo Ci, who received Taoist friend Yu Ji, brought his friends into the mountain, and in the vast smoke and clouds on the peak, Zuo Ci sighed for a long time, and Yu Ji on the side asked in a strange voice: "Yuan Fang, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Zuo Ci squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky, and said lightly: "The five stars of the princes in the door are shifted in light and dark, and the troubled times are not far away." ”

Yu Ji's face sank, and he closed his eyes and said: "The imperial court is bleak, the emperor is bright in the atrium, the emperor is dormant in the west, the three princes shine in the north, the doctor is lurking in the south, and the emperor is shining in the east." The princes are five stars, the universe is reversed, the country has changed hands, the mandate of heaven, where is it? ”
