[Qianguang] Edict of Guilt

Chapter 25

1.

When Gongsun Qian arrived in Shunjiang City, he realized that he was not the only visitor.There were Murong Li and Mo Lan.

The three of them met at the prefect's mansion in Shunjiang, they sat down and talked in detail, only then did they know that Murong Li was still traveling to deliver money and food, passed through this city, and stayed temporarily.

Murong Li asked, Didn't King Tianxuan send Brother Gongsun to oversee the army, why did you come here.

Gongsun Qian said, "Annei is the most important thing now."What's the use of me in front of the battle if the city in the rear is in chaos.

This statement is half true and half false.But Murong Li's appearance here is naturally not a coincidence.

But I don't know, why did Marquis Mojun come with him?When Murong Li held Xiao in his arms, he was always too lazy to move, so Gongsun Qian wanted to hold the pot and pour tea for several people.

Let me do it.This time, Murong Li stopped him from moving.

Gongsun Qian was a little surprised, and then smiled slightly, this is Tianxuan after all, you two are guests, I should do my best as a landlord.

He deliberately stretched out his left hand.The wound on his upper arm still hurts faintly, but he has always behaved properly, so he didn't show any flaws.

Murong Li glanced at his left arm from time to time, absent-mindedly answering his question just now.Escorting money and food is not a small matter, probably the king is afraid that I will go out alone, so he will leave without saying goodbye.

Ah Li, since when did the king care about that little money?Mo Lan said anxiously, he is afraid that you will be in danger, don't you know what the king is thinking.

Murong Li should not.

The clear tea soup is slowly poured into the cup.Gongsun Qian put down the teapot.

It seemed that Murong Li knew about his injury.Sure enough, his eyes and ears have arrived at the front of the battle.

I don't know what brother Murong thinks about the sudden approach of Xisu to the west.Gongsun Qian asked.

It is not surprising that King Susu wants to seize the world.

Xunsu advanced rapidly in front, and increased troops across the board in the rear.Gongsun Qian said.But I feel that if I am not guarding against something, I am putting all my eggs in one basket.

Murong Li took the teacup and said with a light smile, at this moment, Tianxuan and Tianji must be putting all their eggs in one basket.

Gongsun Qian smiled wryly and said nothing more.

But I feel in my heart that although it is dangerous now, there is a glimmer of hope.

Xun Su insisted on attacking by force, and he was invincible and would not return to the court.It can be seen that most of Murong Li just encouraged the king of Susu to trouble the world, but he never offered a plan to govern the world.

Right now, the two sides are betting everything and fighting with their backs.If Tianji Tianxuan loses, perhaps there will never be peace.

But if they win.

Xun Su realized that he was being used, so he might abandon Murong Li's plan and return to Yuezhi Shannan.

2.

Mo Lan is a typical person of natural power, and his demeanor comes with the comfort of being pampered.Knowing that although some people in the city moved away with their families to avoid the war, it was still peaceful, so he proposed to go to the street to have a look.

Murong Li was noncommittal.Gongsun Qian had no choice but to agree to accompany him.

At this time, a servant came to look for him and handed him a letter.

Gongsun Qian said rudely, got up and took it apart.

The paper was thin and transparent, and before it was unfolded, he recognized the familiar handwriting of the king.

When it unfolded, another catalpa leaf jumped into view.

Gongsun Qian was taken aback for a moment, and then, after a long time, he smiled sincerely.

Reading the content of the letter, I was also somewhat moved.He has already made a promise to the prefect of Shunjiang about the policy of comforting the people and moving westward to the Marquis of Kunli to entrust the land.I wanted to wait until I got back to the royal city, and then ask for the crime of self-assertion.

But the king agrees with him.

At the stone table behind him, Mo Lan couldn't help asking, Mr. Gongsun, it's just a leaf, what do you think it's been doing for so long.

Murong Li was still sipping his tea, and said, there was a matter of Tong Ye enfeoffing his younger brother in ancient times, maybe Brother Gongsun also received some kind of award this time.

Gongsun Qian folded the letter and put it in his sleeve, saying, "There is no reward."It's just a joke with friends in the old days, it's just fun to think about it.

I see.Mo Lan responded, resting her chin and said, Master Gongsun, one leaf is enough to see, A Li, the king sent you a courtyard full of feathers and flowers, and I didn't see you smile.

Murong Li didn't answer, and was watched by Mo Lan relentlessly. After a long while, he sighed, "The king is thinking, and I am also grateful."

Only then was Mo Lan satisfied, and urged everyone to go out for a stroll.

There are indeed still prosperous places in Shunjiang City.Murong Li seemed to be only walking, and everything around him was out of sight.

Marquis Mo Jun was delighted.Gongsun Qian was worried.

Even if driven by the army, relocation will take time.How will these people protect themselves once the attack comes.

The three of them had their own thoughts, and when they met one on the way, they asked questions.

The man was dressed in gorgeous clothes and asked politely, I just came to Shunjiang City today, but I saw the people moving out.What happened here, can I ask a few young masters to give some pointers.

...The common people are probably to avoid the disaster of war.Gongsun Qian said, "I don't know how to ask, is brother from a foreigner?"Why did you come here at this time?

The next is the right person.The man heard about the war, but did not react much, explaining.Hearing that this place is rich, I wanted to see if there was any business to do.

So ignorant of worry, it really is the act of the right person.However, Tianquan Merchant has already arrived here, it seems that Marquis Kunli attracted people to stay, and it was quite effective.

Gongsun Qian solemnly persuaded that the war is not a child's play, brother, it is better to leave this place as soon as possible.

The man had already looked at Mo Lan's indigo brocade robe, and said, "You look like Tianquan people too."Since you are not in a hurry to leave, I will take a look around first.

Gongsun Qian couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to tell him to be careful in everything, and bid him farewell.

When the sun is about to fall, the friendship of the landlord will be exhausted.

Saying goodbye to Murong Li, Gongsun Qian didn't have time to eat, so he went to the city gate to explain to the defenders how to deploy.

Even if General Qi couldn't resist it, it would take two or three days for the Su army to come here.He explained to the deputy general who defended the city.However, I am afraid that the army has already made a careful investigation, and you will need to conduct strict investigations on the soldiers and the townspeople where they came from.Everything should be done when it is concealed, especially for Tianquan officials.

The lieutenant was a little embarrassed.But since Mr. Murong came to deliver food and grass, he would always ask us some things.

Shunjiang City is not a barren land, and if it lacks other food and grass, it may not be able to do anything.Gongsun Qian said.If you don't know how to deal with it, just say that you don't know the current situation in the army.If it involves the deployment of our army, never disclose a word.

The lieutenant handed over, and Dao wrote it down.

Gongsun Qian nodded and sighed.Since there are still Tianquan merchants in the city, I only hope that Murong Li will be scruples about his fellow countrymen and show mercy.

A wind blew up in Tianxuan King City overnight, and in the morning of the next day, the ground was already covered with fallen leaves, which were like a blanket.

Without Gongsun Qian, Ling Guang was much more busy.After listening to Night Breeze approving the memorial, it was almost dawn.

He simply didn't sleep, and stood outside the temple with his clothes on, blowing the wind to wake him up.

Shunjiang City is in the south, so it should be warmer than here.At this time, Gongsun Qian didn't know whether he had a good night's sleep or was still struggling.

A wind poured into the side hall, blowing out the candles in the house.

Ling Guang looked back subconsciously.The paper rattled under the paperweight, and in the cold and dark sky, it swayed like a spirit pennant.

Qiu Zhen's sword lay on the table.His eyes were in a trance for a moment, and he couldn't distinguish the wind and sword from his ears.

Ling Guang endured his tiredness and rubbed his forehead, walked back to the table involuntarily, unsheathed his sword an inch, and looked at it with a frown.

Only the coldness remains the same.The sword is silent.

Suddenly there was the sound of running near the door.He sheathed his sword.

A messenger broke in, saw him standing by the table, and saluted hurriedly.

Your Majesty, urgent report from the border!The night before last, a group of elite troops from Xisu bypassed Qi Zhikan and surrounded Shunjiang City. Now they are asking General Qi to retreat, otherwise the city will be massacred!This matter, I ask the king to make a decision...

There was a moment of silence in the hall.The messenger dared not look up.

——What is this king determined to do?

Ling Guang slammed the sword back onto the table with one hand.Gongsun Qian has taken over the power to command the army. At a critical moment, should the king decide?What about others? !

The messenger kowtowed in fear.

Back to the king, the Su Su army... almost broke through the city gate, but fortunately Lord Gongsun led his people to resist and forced them back out of the city...

This king asks you where he is now!

The messenger's voice trembled, but what he said seemed like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

Someone... Someone saw that Master Gongsun was hit in the chest by a flow arrow, fell off his horse and died...

Every word is so important that it weighs more than life and death.
