Chu Qin pushed out with a palm, and the spiritual power was stimulated, hitting Gu Du's chest, the two collided with their spiritual power, and they both took a step back, Gu Du's knife tip slashed in front of Chu Qin's eyes, and the knife wind blew coldly on his face.

The three Jing Xuezhai disciples pounced on Gu Du together, Zhong Jin Lingge opened Di Qiuhan's sword, grabbed Chu Qin and turned around and ran.

Gu Du swept with a sword, cutting off all the swords of the three Jing Xuezhai disciples, and another knife in his hand, the three disciples retreated at the same time, one of them retreated to Feng Jiu's side, Feng Jiu slashed the Jing Xuezhai disciple to the ground with a backhand.

Gu Du shouted: "Don't chase!" Take the city! Shout together! Chu Qin ran away! ”

"Chu Qin ran away! Chu Qin ran away! Chu Qin ran away......"

Everyone followed Gu Du all the way to the city gate, and the spirit army was already difficult to stop the edge of the Ze army, and when they heard the Ze army shouting in unison, Chu Qin ran away, and for a while, the army's heart was in turmoil, and they fled in all directions.

Gu Du shouted again: "Don't mess around, follow Shuai Qi!" ”

Di Qiuhan turned around and rushed out, snatched the handsome flag and held it himself, followed Gu Du and rushed towards the city gate, and the shouting was immediately changed: "Follow the handsome banner and take Linghe County!" ”

At dawn, the battle ended, the head of the spirit army was more than 50,000, the Ze army was wounded more than 20,000 people, more than 10,000 people were killed, and only more than 10,000 combat strength was left of the 50,000 soldiers.

Gu Du ordered: "Quickly transfer 10,000 soldiers to Sunset Pass, close the city gate, arrange shifts, do not disturb the people, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." ”

Adjutant General Chen Zhongying said: "Take the order!" ”

Then he asked: "Marshal, what should you do with the captured generals?" ”

Gu Du asked rhetorically, "Have you caught Chu Qin?" ”

Di Qiuhan replied: "Chu Qin and his wife Ru ran away, and with their skills, the soldiers can't catch them." ”

Gu Du said: "Kill all the generals, so as not to go back and tell Chu Qin." ”

Di Qiuhan frowned and said, "Uncle, why bother? He's not merciless to you. ”

Gu Du replied: "Not for him, for my senior sister, my senior sister has not lived well, in order to marry Chu Qin, she surrendered her identity to him as a child waiter, and she has no ability, so she has to let Chu Qin take a concubine...... Kill, not one left. ”

Chen Zhong responded: "Take the order." ”

Chu Qin and Zhong Jinling retreated to the direction of Lingyun County, more than ten miles away from Linghe County, and did not see the pursuers, so they rested in the forest, and at the same time sent people to pick up the fleeing Ling army on the official road.

Chu Qin leaned against the big tree, expressionless and silent, Zhong Jinling sat beside him and looked at him, and said softly: "Husband, don't be upset, Sister He said, it's good to be safe." ”

Chu Qin took out a hand towel, poured water on it to wet it, and then wiped her face.

Zhong Jinling looked at him in amazement, a little confused.

Chu Qin said softly: "You take someone back to Jingxuezhai to find grandpa, and tell him that I was defeated and I want to go back to the imperial city to ask for guilt." ”

Zhong Jinling blinked her eyes and responded, "Okay, I'll go!" ”

Chu Qin said again: "I first have to gather the remnants and bring them to Lingyun County, and then I can go back, and after returning to the imperial city, I will go home first." ”

Zhong Jinling nodded in response: "Got it." ”

Chu Qin took her into his arms and kissed her on the lips, Zhong Jinling's cheeks instantly turned red, his eyes flashed, and the guards and disciples of Jing Xuezhai around him all turned around in unison.

Chu Qin said softly: "I wronged you before the war and beat you, I want to take back what I said, I am very lucky to be able to marry you, and I can save my life." ”

Zhong Jinling frowned and said, "Why do you say such things?" ”

Chu Qin replied: "If you say it clearly, you won't have any suspicion in your heart, even if you don't like it, but as long as it's the truth, there's nothing you can't say." ”

Zhong Jinling pursed her lips and said, "You promise me not to fight again." ”

Chu Qin replied: "Don't worry, after this battle, both countries are seriously injured, and there will be no more war in a few years, Gu Du is trying his best to broaden the channel of conquest, and he can't have a few soldiers left." ”

Zhong Jinling stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll go." ”

Three days later, Gu Du ordered the city gate to be opened, and the four cities posted notices: Zeguo took the city, and the people did not commit any crimes, those who were willing to stay were naturalized, those who were willing to leave were not hindered, and all personal property could be taken away.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys, most of the people sought to live in peace, and it was really difficult to move elsewhere, most of the families left a courtyard for several generations, if they abandoned it, they left, and went to other places, there was no tile to cover their bodies, and there was no place to stand on the cone, how can a family live?

But those rich people are in a dilemma, they have money, and they can live well wherever they go, but they are afraid that Gu Du is cheating, if they pull their belongings out of the city, even if no one stops them, they can go out of the city for hundreds of miles, if Gu Du sends soldiers to rob pretending to be bandits, then they will not only lose their property, but also expose their corpses to the wilderness.

So the notice was posted for two days, and no one left the city, but no one took the initiative to become a naturalized citizen.

It's difficult for Gu Du, Lingyu County is an empty city, so he just needs to move the people over, but Linghe County is full, the people don't leave, and the people who move here have no place to live, and the people of these Lingguo can't count on it, once there is a war, they won't cooperate in the army.

Gu Du consulted with Dongfang Wen, but Dongfang Wen shook his head with a smile and said: "Don't ask me about this, I am proficient in the art of Qimen, and I am good at the affairs of the army, but how to shepherd the side and govern the world and the people, it is not my strength, you should ask Wu Tong." ”

One sentence woke up Gu Du, Wu Tong is the lord of Lingzhen County, since he took refuge in him, he has been a doorman, he has never used it, and this time he didn't take Linghe County with him, but left him and Bu Qianqiu in Lingyu County.

Gu Yili asked Di Qiuhan to take people back to Lingyu County, called Wu Tong and Bu Qianqiu, and brought Dongfang Xia Lan and the child by the way.

On the other side, Chu Qin returned to the imperial city, and after arriving home, Shangguan He and Zhong Jinling greeted him together.

Chu Qin asked, "Is Grandpa here?" ”

Zhong Jinling replied: "Come, stay in the inn." ”

Chu Qin frowned slightly, and Shangguan He said: "I'm at home, and my grandfather said that it was inconvenient, and that as an elder, I should know how to avoid suspicion." ”

Chu Qin went to the inn to see Zhong Chenghou, and Zhong Chenghou asked, "Do you think the emperor will kill you?" ”

Chu Qin replied: "It's hard to say, the emperor has a narrow heart, and he has learned from the past, and this time his vitality is greatly damaged, it is really difficult to predict how the emperor will deal with it." ”

Zhong Chenghou pondered for a moment and said, "If he condemns you, the Spirit Kingdom will really die." ”

Turning the sky, Chu Qin met the Spirit Emperor, the Spirit Emperor's face sank like water, and he asked in a cold voice, "Why is this so?" ”

Chu Qin described the battle situation in detail, and then said: "The minister has done his best. ”

The Spirit Emperor asked, "You're the only one who came back?" ”

Chu Qin replied: "None of the adjutant generals or above have escaped. ”

The Spirit Emperor said coldly: "That's what you say, what is it?" ”

Chu Qin replied: "The minister has done his best, please ask the emperor to judge." ”

The Spirit Emperor said in an unhappy tone, "Go home and wait for the order." ”

Chu Qin responded: "The minister retired." ”
