Chapter 41
In March, the wind was bright and sunny. In order to avoid Xuzhou's pursuit soldiers, Guo Jia left Qiao County and entered Yanzhou from Chenliu State to head north. Chenliu State was adjacent to Yingchuan, but Guo Jia did not want to return to his hometown at this time to avoid trouble again. After the turmoil in Xuzhou was slightly calmer, he would return to Yingchuan.
In another half a day, I arrived at Jiwu County where Guo Jia and his party were planning to rest. There was no one going on the official road at the foot of the forest. Guo Jia's party was chatting and rushing slowly without worry.
A man suddenly ran over the road ahead, and there were nearly a hundred pursuers behind the man, looking like officers and soldiers chasing thieves.
He stopped and Guo Jia and his friends watched the development of the situation ahead. The escaped man was bare-armed, with a cloth belt around his waist, and his burly and majestic upper body showed his strong muscles. Looking at the man's appearance, he had a bald head and a light eyebrows, and his facial features were rough, as if he was born with a fierce and evil look.
The officers and soldiers holding the big sword were less than ten steps away from the fierce man. The fierce man knew the situation behind him, so he ran to a big tree on the side of the road, and hugged the big tree as thick as a bucket, and then exerted force to uproot the big tree!
He turned around and swept across the pursuing soldiers behind him, then raised the big tree above his head and threw it with all his might. The big tree that fell in the air suppressed a pursuing soldiers!
"This person is not as brave as Zhongkang." Guo Jia looked at the man and said lightly.
Although Xu Chu was not convinced, he also admitted that he could not uproot the big tree so easily.
"In terms of strength, he is not as good as him." Gan Ning said generously.
Zhou Tai even exclaimed: "This person's courage is rare in the world."
However, Zhou Tai then said: "But since this person was hunted by the officers and soldiers, it seems that he might have been the evil side, so he ended up like this."
Guo Jia raised his head and laughed and said, "Youping's words are wrong. If you say so, I, Guo Jia, have evil in the world. Why not go up and ask me what happened? If this person is evil, he will surrender this thief for the government. If there is another hidden truth, haha, then we will naturally not help the evil."
Several people nodded and praised their kindness, then rode their horses forward. Guo Jia asked the four tigers of the Xiao family to protect Qiao Xiao and then dismounted and walked away.
Gan Ning, Xu Chu and Zhou Tai first joined the battle, separated the fierce man and the officers and soldiers, and used the tree lying in the road as the boundary.
The fierce man was obviously a little afraid and guarded against Guo Jia, and retreated to the foot of the mountain, and seemed to be able to turn around and escape into the forest at any time. Although the officers and soldiers had blades on their hands, they could not resist the might of Xu Chu, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, the three majestic peaks, and had to take a few steps back to see what the sudden group of people wanted.
Guo Jia walked slowly, first looked at the officers and soldiers, and asked, "What crime does this person commit?"
"He killed the county magistrate!" The officers and soldiers' answer was justified, and seemed to feel that it was natural and the officers and soldiers were ready to move, and took a step forward to continue to surround and kill the fierce man.
Standing in the middle, Gan Ning, holding his arms, glared at the officers and soldiers, shouting: "Get back! Killing the county magistrate is nothing. Even the county magistrate has killed can't count the number of county officials. If this county magistrate harms one side, then he should be killed!"
Hulala's group of officers and soldiers took a few steps back, shocked by Gan Ning's momentum. After swallowing with fear, they all muttered in their hearts: I was ordered to chase an assassin, why did I meet a group of butchers?
Guo Jia turned his head and asked the fierce man: "Why did you kill the county magistrate?"
The fierce man panted and said coldly: "My brother was harmed by the county magistrate. What's wrong with avenging my brother? Look at your scholar who has a greasy face, you must be a fool who is pretty."
After saying that, the fierce man waved his fist and called Guo Jia.
He took action indiscriminately? Guo Jia was stunned. The fist of the fierce man hit him in front of him, and a figure suddenly blocked in front of Guo Jia.
The fierce man's fist fell into Xu Chu's palm, raised another fist, but was blocked by Xu Chu. The two of them began to fight with each other.
Guo Jia walked out from behind Xu Chu, watching the two of them compete for strength and couldn't stand it. He laughed and said, "Hey, why do you think I'm not a good person? Besides, if I want to harm you, do you need to talk nonsense to you?"
The fierce man was gritting his teeth and suppressing Xu Chu with all his might. He stepped forward and leaned forward suddenly, obviously having the upper hand. In less than a moment, he might be pressed to the ground.
Clam
A long sword was placed on the fierce man's neck, and Guo Jia shook his head and sighed: "Why can't we reason?"
When the ferocious man withdrew his strength, Xu Chu was rescued and took a few steps back. He rubbed his wrists, his eyes were filled with amazement, and he thought to himself: Is this guy so domineering?
Even Gan Ning and Zhou Tai were in a state of great trouble. The two of them were not as good as Xu Chu in terms of force. Now Xu Chu has been defeated by that man for a while, which shows that the fierce man is quite capable.
However, no matter how powerful a person is, he can't resist the sword and put it on his neck.
"I said that you are not a good person, so take action. If you want me to beg for mercy, it would be a dream." The fierce man did not give Guo Jia any face, and used the current fact to confirm his previous theory.
Guo Jia rubbed his temple and took the sword back, but the reason seemed to be incomprehensible.
At this time, Xu Chu walked up and said to the fierce man, "I, Xu Chu, are not as strong as you, but you are too ungrateful. The young master is kind to save you just to distinguish right from wrong. If you kill the county magistrate out of morality, I, Xu Chu, promise that you can leave safely today."
When Guo Jia heard Xu Chu's words, he twitched in his heart: If you have reason to kill someone, you can kill him? What's the use of the king's law? It's just that, in troubled times, the reason is not reasonable, and the big fist is the hard truth.
The fierce man was stunned, looked at Guo Jia, and asked suspiciously: "Are you a scholar a little grandfather? A little grandfather in Yingchuan?"
This place is within the Chenliu Kingdom, and Yingchuan is next door. If you say that people here have never heard of Guo Jia Daming, it is even more impossible for other places to hear it.
Guo Jia found it funny. Celebrities and names are different. Only when a famous person can he listen to you seriously. He nodded and said, "I'm here, Guo Jia, Yingchuan."
The fierce man hesitated for a while before saying, "I heard that the young man from Yingchuan is a good person. Well, I, Dianwei, will believe you once. I killed the county magistrate to avenge my brothers. The cause of the incident was..."
What Dian Wei said, Guo Jia didn't listen carefully because he was immersed in shock.
Did a magpies fly past when I go out today?
It turns out that there is a great blessing after the disaster. If there was no such incident in Xuzhou City, I am afraid that Guo Jia would have already gone north to Qingzhou at this time. He would not have turned to Yuzhou to avoid the pursuers of Xuzhou. He met Xu Chu and then went north to Yanzhou. He met Dian Wei again.
"This person deserves to be killed!" Zhou Tai's fist thumped, and this angry shout woke Guo Jia from the shock.
He looked at Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, Xu Chu, and Dian Wei's expressions next to him, all of which were full of indignation and passionate expressions. It seemed that Dian Wei's killing was really reasonable, otherwise the four of them would not have looked like they were united in the enemy at this time.
As for whether Dian Wei Yijie's civilians have the right to kill people, these people probably never had this idea.
After thinking about it, Guo Jia walked to the group of officers and soldiers, looked at their trembling appearance, and smiled kindly: "Everyone, you see that this Dian Wei hero has a reason for his murder. Why don't you let him go?"
When the officers and soldiers heard this, they were reluctant to agree. Someone immediately said, "This person killed the county magistrate, and we were ordered to chase him. How could we return without success?"
Guo Jia scratched his head, pulled out his sword with a grunt, and continued to say gently in front of the officers and soldiers whose faces changed: "Don't you really let him go?"
Nearly a hundred officers and soldiers were so scared that their faces were bloodless because behind Guo Jia, Gan Ning Zhou Tai, and Dian Wei Xuchu were walking towards them with murderous aura.
Looking at their burly figures, the officers and soldiers no longer had the courage to stay here, dragging the wounded to scatter and flee back the same way.
"Thank you."
Guo Jia took back his sword and waved his hand at the group of officers and soldiers with a smile.
Turning around, looking at Dian Wei, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Dian Wei, the pursuers have retreated, what are your plans?"
Dian Wei touched his bald head and said blankly: "I don't know either."
Xu Chu walked over and patted his shoulder, proposing: "Just follow us. I plan to follow the young grandfather to join the Mingzhu and make achievements on the battlefield in the future."
When Dian Wei heard this, he was a little moved and raised his head to look at Guo Jia, as if seeking his consent.
What else can Guo Jia say about this? Can you keep someone thousands of miles away? That will be struck by lightning!
So he took Xu Chu's cloak and put it on him, Guo Jia brought Dian Wei and gave him the word "王子": "I'm evil."
The group continued to head north.
Julu County, Jizhou
In the deep mountains, a group of luxuriously dressed officials are climbing the mountain through difficulties.
The person walking in the middle of the team was Liu Yan, the governor of Youzhou. A young man next to him was his eldest son Liu Fan.
Rubbing the sweat from your forehead, Liu Fan asked Liu Yan in confusion: "Father, you are the governor of Youzhou. What are you doing to Jizhou? And what can you do in Julu County that can make you run far away to suffer this?"
Liu Yan looked at the misty clouds in the mountains and said thoughtfully: "There are masters in this mountain."
Liu Fan couldn't figure out what kind of paradise could be in this remote mountain. At this moment, on the way they were walking, an old man in gray-white Taoist robe blocked their way indifferently.
After parting his subordinates, Liu Yan saw the old man's blue-eyed and childlike face, holding a quinoa stick, and his fairy style made people feel awe-inspiring. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Liu Yan, the governor of Youzhou, came here specially to see the master, please give me some advice."
The old man looked the same. After Liu Yan raised his head, he waved to him and said, "Follow me."
Liu Yan was so happy that he walked forward and followed the old man to a remote place. Liu Yan immediately knelt down and said, "Now the world is devastated and the people are in trouble. I am a relative of the Han Dynasty. I can't bear to the emperor to poison the people. Please give me some advice."
The old man Nanhua looked at Liu Yanliang for a long time, and then said: "The dragon energy flows to the southwest, Yizhou, and can nourish the emperor's energy!"
After hearing this, Liu Yan was overjoyed and kowtowed and left after he thanked him.
