Long live the general

Chapter 95 Battle of Hexi

Since the beginning of summer, the weather has been sweltering and depressing.

There was the sound of kicking horseshoes on the official road, and soon, two women appeared at the end of the road. They rode a horse together. The woman in front was pale, soaked in cold sweat, and her eyes were half-closed. Extremely weak.The woman behind her was driving the horse, and found that Mrs. Yang was hot all over, and her body shrank, and asked nervously: "Madam, how are you?"

Mrs. Yang's voice was extremely low. If it wasn't for the concubine who was right behind her, she wouldn't be able to hear what she was saying.

"Bai Que'er, me? Dizzy... want to vomit." Mrs. Yang really breathed in more and vented less.

"Ma'am, there is a tea shop in front, let's wait? I will go there to rest for a while and have a cup of tea before leaving." Bai Que'er supported Madam's body and said, "Persist, Ma'am."

Mrs. Yang nodded with difficulty, the sun was directly on her face, she suddenly lost all strength, her eyes turned white, and her body fell to one side involuntarily.The maid, Bai Que'er, hugged her dangerously. Mrs. Yang had lost consciousness in her arms, so she had no choice but to drive the horse into the nearby forest?, and then helped Mrs. Yang off the horse.

After dismounting, she let Mrs. Yang sit on a rock, and took out a towel to dry the sweat off Mrs. Yang's face.

Mrs. Yang woke up leisurely, and Bai Que'er brought her water to drink again, and the two remained silent.

After the Yang family was burned down, Mrs. Yang and Bai Que'er escaped from Changping County that night.Afterwards, they bought dry food and horses in the next county, and headed straight to Chang'an City.

Those Guo Xie's subordinates were indeed chasing and killing them, but Mrs. Yang and the others took a step ahead, so they were a little faster than those desperadoes.They didn't take a carriage, and they rarely lived in towns. They had to bypass crowded places and avoid being hunted down all the way.After rushing on the road for three full months, they finally came to the outskirts of Chang'an.

Because of this, Mrs. Yang's body was gradually failing. They didn't even get a good night's sleep in the inn. They kept on guard and took turns to be on duty at night. They would wake up when they heard any disturbance.In such a highly tense environment, Mrs. Yang started to have a high fever, fell into a coma, and sweated all over.After she fell asleep, Bai Que'er often saw her weeping in her sleep, but when she woke up, she didn't say a word, only endlessly rushing on the road.

"Are you feeling better, ma'am?" Bai Que'er asked.

Mrs. Yang nodded while holding the water bag. The skin on her face was chapped due to tears. She never cried out, but her voice was already hoarse, and her strength was constantly being drained.

Whenever she closes her eyes, she can see the blazing flames, the blood of her husband and son overflowing to the soles of her feet, and the murderer's voice penetrates into her ears.

The desperation of losing her loved ones made her feel miserable. Sometimes Mrs. Yang would not know where she was in a trance, and any food would lose its taste. All she lives for is revenge.

Guo Jie.

She must come to Chang'an City to find that supreme person, so that she can avenge the entire Yang family!

It is impossible for the sheriff to be the sheriff. She knows that many people have made friends with Guo Xie... What Mrs. Yang expects is only the person who holds absolute power.

The two rested for a while, when they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes on the official road.Madam Yang's expression froze, Bai Que'er patted her on the shoulder, hid behind the tree and looked over, and saw five people passing by on horseback, the horseshoes kicked up dust and rolled in the scalding heat.

Bai Que'er gritted her teeth, and she watched the backs of those people disappear into the distance.

It's those killers.

She came back and told Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Yang was silent for a moment, they can only stay here for the time being? Hiding, they must not be discovered by those Guo Xie's men. Once they are killed outside Chang'an City, the matter of the Yang family will be completely concealed cover.

Mrs. Yang handed the water bag and dry food to Bai Que'er, and said to her, "You can eat some too."

Bai Que'er didn't refuse, she bit off the dry food and chewed it in her mouth, then she heard Mrs. Yang say: "Que'er, I'm the one who got you into trouble..."

"Ma'am." Bai Que'er's expression darkened: "There is a grievance and a debtor. The cause of this matter is that Guo Xie acted willfully and recklessly, disregarding the law, and only committed adultery and violation of public law. This is not your fault, let alone The Patriarch's fault... Only Guo Xie should pay the price."

Madam Yang smiled wryly: "You are right, but can we really reach Chang'an alive..."

Bai Que'er pointed to the front: "Chang'an is right there, and we'll be there soon."

Mrs. Yang regained some strength, and she hugged her maid.On that night full of flames and blood, if Bai Que'er hadn't brought her out, Mrs. Yang might have been killed by those Guo Xie's men at that time.Afterwards, on the road, Bai Que'er was always taking care of her. When she was on the verge of collapse several times, it was Bai Que'er who supported her.

"Fortunately, you are here..."

After a while, Bai Que'er took a detour to observe the situation ahead, and the few Guo Xie's subordinates had disappeared.She and Mrs. Yang continued on their way on horseback, and took a short break at the tea stall in front, mainly to inquire about news about Chang'an City.

Mrs. Yang put on her veil, and Dr. Tea came over and asked them what they would like to drink. Mrs. Yang said hoarsely, "Two cups of clear tea will do."

The tea doctor sized them up and went to the back to serve tea.

Mrs. Yang was a little frightened, and she was always paying attention to the movement around her.At this moment, two men walked into the tea shop, asked for tea and meat, and started chatting.

"Have you heard that recently? There are many rangers from aristocratic families who are moving to Da Mao." One of the middle-aged men said, "Da Mao is very close to Chang'an. Even Chang'an City has become quite lively these days. .”

He just started talking casually, and his friend quickly replied: "Who doesn't know about such a big thing, His Majesty is building the imperial mausoleum, hey, don't say it, they moved here, just found out that the rich are really It's just that it's not our turn to make a fortune..."

Among the tea stalls, there have always been those who discussed state affairs, analyzed the Xiongnu issue, complained about the court, showed off their juniors, and complained about their lack of ambition...Da Viet is now open to people, and their speech is very free, unless they pat the table and say If it is against Dai Viet, generally no one cares about it.

So these two people continued to discuss, some people around listened and some didn't, they all let them go.

The middle-aged man continued: "Then do you know, among those who went to Damao, who is the most popular?"

"Nanhe County Wang's family?" Another person guessed, "I heard that his family is rich. The wealth is incomparable to any country. The family's fertile farmland is vast, and the wealth is more than His Majesty's treasury..."

"No, no, no! You don't know that, the Wang family is just rich..."

"Hmph, it's just money, me? It's just thinking about it for a while..."

The middle-aged man patted the table and said loudly: "Don't interrupt, the most sought after one is a man named Guo Gong!"

Madam Yang shivered, her fingers twitched, and Bai Que'er pressed her hand to comfort her.

The tea doctor came over with a pot of tea, and said with a smile, "Two guests, the tea sold in Chang'an City is not sold in cups, but in whole pots. Do you think it's okay?"

Mrs. Yang didn't want to get entangled in such a trivial matter, so she nodded perfunctorily.

The tea doctor took another look at them and stepped back.

After the middle-aged man over there threw out the word Guo Gong, the friend was really surprised and said, "Who is Guo Gong?"

"You haven't even heard of Mr. Guo, then you are ignorant and ignorant." The middle-aged man said: "Mr. Guo is from Changping County, Jiaojun County, but he is a well-known ranger. He is kind, generous, and very righteous. I heard he is a virtuous man. People. Do you know that the huge dispute in Luoyang was settled by Guo Gong?"

"So powerful, but after hearing so much from you, isn't he just a commoner?"

"Although he is a commoner, there are dozens of people following behind him at any time, willing to obey his orders." The middle-aged man said with emotion: "Recently, there is a popular saying in Chang'an City, Guo Gong is here, local officials, Guanzhong Haoxian, knowing and not knowing, hearing his voice, fighting for friendship and reconciliation."

"That is to say, no matter whether they know this person or not, when they hear that Mr. Guo is coming, no matter whether they are officials or heroes, they all rush to get acquainted with him. It has reached this point. I heard that he even knows General Huo!"

His friend drank a cup of tea silently, thinking that this is just leading a group of people to swagger through the market, they are obviously too stupid to do such a thing at the feet of the emperor.

Can the emperor tolerate this happening?If he could endure the grouping of his subordinates to strengthen his small power, he wouldn't have worked so hard to build the imperial mausoleum and let these people come to Da Mao.

The two then chatted casually for a while, and the middle-aged man said a few more things about Mr. Guo, and the topic quickly shifted to other places. The two gave tea money and left the tea stand.

Mrs. Yang and Bai Que'er were still drinking tea silently, but in fact, Mrs. Yang's expression was already very ugly.

She already knew that the local officials were unreliable, but she never thought that the officials in Chang'an City would make friends with people like Guo Xie.

In this case, can she really avenge the Yang family?

The city of Chang'an, which was so close to Chi Chi, suddenly became scary in her eyes.

Mrs. Yang felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, and the surrounding air seemed to suddenly turn into spikes. She picked up the teacup and saw the swaying tea inside.At this moment, just now? The tea doctor came over and asked in a low voice: "Two guests, did you come all the way from Jiaojun?"

Bai Que'er immediately denied, "No!"

She looked at Dr. Cha warily. Dr. Tea shook the towel around his neck and said in a low voice, "Your way of ordering tea is only available in Jiaojun. The little ones are not malicious, but just now? There are five Big fellows, looking fierce, they came to the tea stand and asked if they had seen the woman from Jiaojun."

Dr. Cha said in a low voice: "The two guests, I think they are not good people, please be careful."

Mrs. Yang tried to calm down and asked, "Thank you, brother, where did they go after that?"

Dr. Cha said: "I? Looking at their direction, they should be going to Chang'an City."
