Jade blood gun

On this day, the soldiers responsible for recruiting troops for the Battle of Panshui were in a very good mood.

Although two strong men and two horses escaped at the gate of Ganling City earlier, when they were about to go back to fight the army sticks with their heads down, they unexpectedly encountered a group of refugees on the road!All of them are strong young men!

What made them even more happy was that when these refugees heard that joining the army would give them food to eat, they all expressed their willingness to join the army!

The leading corporal counted the number of people emotionally, and there were a total of 30 people!

In Ganling City, there was no longer a man over ten years old and under fifty years old. God sent thirty young men in their 50s in front of them at once. Excited!

For the conscription team, this is a great contribution.Yuan Shao's army is entrenched in Xindu City by the Bank of the Pan River. This time, not only will they not have to be beaten by military sticks, they may be able to rely on these thirty strong men, a team of six, and each of them will be promoted.

The head of the corps was very happy, questioned a few words symbolically about where the refugees came from, and decisively included them all.

As a result, the originally rough and long journey seemed to become lovely. The corporal leader triumphantly led the cheerful conscription team, shouting and shouting and directing the thirty refugees to line up, quite like a general commanding thousands of troops. The majestic majesty of Wanma's formation in front of the formation.Usually it takes three or four days to walk slowly, but they marched all the way for two days and one night, almost non-stop. In the evening of the next day, a group of people walked outside the gate of Xindu City.

Yuan Shao's heavy army was stationed in Xindu, less than three hundred miles away from Gongsun Zan's troops in Panshui.The land where the army was stationed before the war was heavily guarded, and it was by no means comparable to Ganling, which looked like a dead city.

Sir Lieutenant was interrogated three times at the gate of the city. He was questioned one by one from his position in the army to his military order, and even the names of the [-] recruited men. When they were finally released into the city, His prestige was exhausted, and his good mood was gone.

After turning a corner, the corporal leader was still angry. The thirty strong men he recruited exchanged glances with each other behind them, but he didn't see any of them. He just spat hard on the ground: " Bah! It’s just a gatekeeper whose hair hasn’t fully grown yet. Your grandpa has traveled all this way, but he hasn’t received any credit yet, but instead, a child questioned eighteen generations of his ancestors!”

The rest of the soldiers hurriedly came over to appease the mood of their superiors. Finally, under the many compliments, the corporal leader remembered his "great achievements" on this trip, and thought that when he was promoted this time, he would definitely go to the city gate again Shaking his prestige, he slowly calmed down.

But after all the long journeys and the interrogation, he felt parched and exhausted.At the moment, he was not in a hurry to go back to the camp, and waved his hand: "Let's go, brothers, go have a drink first."

"My lord, then these people..." A soldier hesitated, pointing to the 31 unkempt young men, wanting to persuade the corporal leader to go back to the camp to pay his errands before relaxing and drinking.

Unexpectedly, Master Wuchang got angry in front of the city gate, but his thinking became broad and bold: "Go together, go together, enter the barracks, I don't know if I can come out again, drink a drink before going, just treat me as the host, For the sake of everyone, if anyone becomes a general in the future, he should remember today and support each other."

Since the corporal leader wanted to be a favor, naturally no one objected.A group of people rushed into a street restaurant.Fortunately, the war was approaching, most of the residents on the street had closed doors, and there were not many people in the wine shop. As soon as they entered, they drove away all the original two or three guests and occupied the entire wine shop.

"Old Zhao, come and serve wine."

A familiar soldier shouted, and someone answered immediately from the back of the restaurant. An old man with white beard and hair trembled and came out with a wine jar in his hand to say hello: "Master Jun won't come to the shop for a long time."

"Don't go to war now, keep the family and the soil..." the corporal commander boasted casually, and then he caught a sharp glimpse of a slender figure standing in the crack of the curtain at the back of the hall, but then turned around and ran back immediately.

"Hey, Old Zhao, there are too many people here."

The old man put down the wine jar, slowly took out a stack of bowls and put them in front of everyone, narrowed his cloudy eyes, and answered with a smile: "That's my little old niece, my house was robbed by thieves, there is nowhere else to go." You can go and live here first."

If it was outside the city, the corporal chief and a few soldiers drank a few bowls of yellow soup, and they would definitely call out the niece and daughter while drinking to see what she looked like.But now that Yuan Shao is stationed in the city and martial law is imposed, how much scruples do these little soldiers have in their hearts?

So I could only ask for a few cheap words with my mouth, and said a few frivolous words to Lao Zhaohun about hiding a little girl, my eyes slanted to the back of the hall from time to time, endured and endured, and pressed hard. The loneliness that almost forgets what a young woman looks like.

After drinking and paying for the wine on credit, the captain waved his hand again, indicating that the favor was over, and everyone returned to the camp to return to life.

Before leaving, among the thirty strong men, the most handsome and upright figure slowly took a few steps down, and finally turned his head to take a deep look at the curtain at the back of the hall, the corners of his lips curled up with a trace of helplessness but also a bit of joy smile.

Thirty young refugees, of course, were the thirty Zhao Yun and his party who had changed their white clothes.And that slender figure hidden behind the hall that could make Zhao Yun stop, who else could there be except Wang Wu?

However, even Zhao Yun didn't expect to see her here.

Relying on their fast horses, Wang Wu and Zhao Yun escaped from the eyes of the recruiting soldiers.After leaving Ganling, Zhao Yun immediately had the idea of ​​sneaking into Xindu, and since Wang Wu had made up his mind to follow Zhao Yun through this muddy water, of course it was impossible to obediently go back to Gongsun Zan's barracks.

The two disagreed and were at loggerheads for a while.In the end, Wang Wu put on a posture that unless he sent someone to knock her out and send her back first, she would swear to the death that she would not back down.Zhao Yun had no choice but to agree with Wang Wu and him to divide into two groups, one in the light and the other in the dark, and entered Xindu successively.Zhao Yun led people to pretend to be conscripted strong men, and directly mixed into Yuan Shao's army, while Wang Wu inquired about the news in the market.

In fact, Zhao Yun had no intention of letting Wang Wu enter the city with him.During the war, in order to prevent scouts from both sides from investigating the truth, the city was blocked from inside and outside, and most of the letter capitals had been closed.He expected that Wang Wu would not be able to enter the city and had nowhere to go, so naturally he had to go back first.

But he did not expect that there is indeed a ban in the city of Xindu, but it is not a closure of the city, but only entry and exit.

Wang Wu came from Ganling to Xindu on horseback. Although Zhao Yun's riding skills were still weak, this time she walked faster than Zhao Yun and the others on two legs, and entered Xindu City one day earlier.

Before entering the city, she put her horse in the forest and changed back into women's attire. The soldiers guarding the gate saw her daughter's house and said she was going to the city to visit relatives, so they didn't bother to pay attention. They only took care of her and let her in. the door.

Wang Wu was a little nervous when she heard that she could only go in and out.But the matter has come to this point, but he can only take one step at a time. If he changes his mind and turns away when he hears these four words, it will attract more attention.

She didn't dare to find a place to stay, so she walked around the streets of the city first, bypassing groups of patrolling soldiers with guns and guns, and finally saw a burnt and collapsed building at a corner of the street. Residential houses, finally thought of how to settle down in the city.

Wang Wu purposely stood in front of that private house for a long time, and people who passed by stopped to look at her for a long time, and some people who were doing business nearby pointed and probed their brains. She just looked around and picked a small house nearby. The wine shop, walked in.

The old man who opened the restaurant had also noticed the girl who was staring at the abandoned house, so when Wang Wu asked him what the owner of the abandoned house was with a face full of panic and helplessness, he answered her without any hesitation: "Where is that house?" The surname is Wang."

As soon as Wang Wu heard that it was from his own family, Wang Wu felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy, and the story she made up became more and more smooth. She blinked, trying to make herself look a little more innocent and panicked, with a little hope in her eyes: "Then Is there an Aunt Wang in the family who looks kind and has a good voice?"

A complete nonsense.

The members of the Wang family are naturally surnamed Wang. As for whether the women in the family are friendly and have a loud voice, how would an old man who has nothing to do with the outside world know?

Moreover, even if it is no coincidence, the old man is really familiar with the woman, whether he looks amiable or not, and whether he speaks loudly, these are all matters for the benevolent to see and hear. Can't count.

Taking another ten thousand steps back, if there are no women in that family, and all the men are there, Wang Wu can find another excuse to put her family in ruins and come to visit her relatives, only to find that the houses of her relatives have collapsed and all the people are dead. All the encounters were pinned on the family who had fled to nowhere to settle down.

Sure enough, although the old man didn't know that "Aunt Wang", he didn't have any doubts about what Wang Wu said.In troubled times, there are too many such things in this era.What's more, Wang Wu is a soft and weak little girl, her voice is trembling when she speaks, coupled with the just right anxious look on her face, he doesn't have a lot of wealth to guard against coveting, why doubt it?

The whole city was under martial law, only going in and out, the girl who went to relatives was alone, had nowhere to live, nowhere to go, and before the old man spoke, the woman who had listened for a long time behind the hall couldn't help but feel soft-hearted, so she made a decision and sent the king Wu stayed.

The reason why Wang Wu chose a restaurant was not because she knew that in this era, restaurants were all privately owned by the government. Even if there was a war and the city changed hands, it was a relatively safe place.She was simply influenced by the many costume dramas she watched before.If people want to inquire about news, most of them will go to places like restaurants and teahouses, whichever has a lot of people and is well-informed.

But I didn't expect that the war was about to start, and how many people would have the leisure to go shopping and drink?Not to mention the news, even if she doesn't want to eat and drink for nothing, but wants to help with some trivial chores, there is nothing to do except for the cloth and plaster every day.

Ever since she glanced through the curtain that day and confirmed that Zhao Yun had also sneaked into the city, she had never seen Zhao Yun again, nor heard any news about them.It seemed that those thirty people were really young men who had been conscripted and filled into the barracks, and they would never come out again.

On this day, Wang Wu was bored, and suddenly heard a familiar voice calling outside: "Bring a jug of wine."

In this era, Wang Wu has only been here for a few days, and she has met only a few people. She will feel familiar with the voice... After thinking about it for a while, Wang Wu immediately remembered the owner of this voice.

Taking advantage of Lao Zhao going out to deliver wine, Wang Wu quickly glanced out the moment the door curtain was lifted.Sure enough, at the table at the entrance, a man of medium appearance, medium build, and dressed as a scribe was twiddling his medium-length beard—Cheng Yu!

Wang Wu hurriedly retracted her head, her heart pounding in shock.

She couldn't remember exactly which faction Cheng Yu served for, but since she had an impression, it meant that this person must not be an ordinary person, maybe a counselor of some family.Such a person who suddenly appeared in Xindu and had met Zhao Yun beforehand, if he had something to do with Yuan Shao, wouldn't it be very possible to break through Zhao Yun's and others' hiding place in the barracks?

Cheng Yu sat until the city gate was closed and it was getting dark before leaving.

As soon as he left, Wang Wu immediately went back to her room with the excuse of having a cold and a headache.He took out the short brown shirt that he was going to change before entering the city, put it on lightly, and tied his hair up high.

She sat in the room, and only after hearing the old Mr. and Mrs. Zhao closed the door and returned to the room, lit a small candle and opened the door very slowly.

The door of her room is very close to the place where the rice altar is piled up at the back door of the restaurant, so she can go out quietly at night, so as not to disturb the old Zhao couple who go to bed early every day.

Unexpectedly, she just took a step, and she was concentrating on protecting the faint fire in her hand, when she suddenly heard a light "click" from the latch of the back door at the corner, which was particularly abrupt and piercing in the quiet night, which made her hand tremble , the small flame swayed and rushed to the finger.
