Chapter 50: Quick steps to surrender
Xu Bailu returned to the house where she lived with two disciples with mixed feelings.
The power of the God Realm was far beyond her imagination.
Compared with the previous great magical power of calling the wind and rain, the "fixed body method" she felt just now was more real.
The feeling of the body being completely out of her control and the whole body being tense and unable to move was something she had never experienced before.
"God Realm, there really is a God Realm in this world, and the God's treasure is not illusory!" Xu Bailu's eyes lit up, and she made up her mind secretly, "Others can achieve it, why can't I, Xu Bailu?
"Originally, after entering the Xuanguan realm and becoming a grandmaster, my will has been a little slack, this is not okay. After returning to the sect this time, I will sit in the gate and attack the Xiantian!
"In my lifetime, I promise Bai Lu that I will reach the divine realm!"
...
Qian Cang is panicking now.
Especially after seeing the Juhe County in front of him, he became even more panicked.
As a trusted aide to Liu Litao, the governor of Lu County, and a special envoy sent to Juhe County to investigate the situation, he should not have such a mentality.
But the information described in the military report was too outrageous.
Whether it was true or false, it made Qian Cang terrified.
Relying on a small county city, they defeated or even captured the 50,000-strong army of Yan bandits!
How is this possible?
"The governor said that we should first verify whether the results of the battle are true, and then explore the truth of Juhe County." Qian Cang rode his horse and slowed down, thinking in his heart, "Is it to see the strength of Juhe County to decide whether to pick peaches?"
Although Liu Litao did not explain the ultimate goal, he also clearly told him to just find out the news, not to make any decisions, and to return to Lu County City immediately after finding out.
And he also specifically stated that as long as it does not endanger his own life, try not to conflict with the people of Juhe County.
This is obviously to see what people will do.
"I hope this result is fake." Qian Cang hoped so in his heart.
As long as the results of the battle are fake, then he will be fine.
But if the exaggerated results are true, I will definitely not have a good ending.
If the victory of Juhe County is finally reaped by the governor,
the governor of Juhe County will not let me go.
After all, the governor of Juhe County has the results of defeating 50,000 troops. Even if he dares not directly resist Liu Litao, the governor, can he not control a small staff member like me? It
is not certain whether the governor will protect me at that time. What if he pushes me out to kill me in order to appease the governor of Juhe County?
But if the strength of Juhe County is very strong, and they really defeated the 50,000-man army with their own strength, if I report the situation truthfully, it would be like telling the governor that he can't pick the peach...
Although I can't blame myself for this, I'm afraid it will make the governor unhappy, and my future prospects will probably be ruined.
No matter what, I will most likely offend one side. I
'm in a
difficult position. "If the result of the battle is true... Although the governor has been kind to me and let me use one of his two treasured horses temporarily, I can't just admit defeat like this."
Qian Cang looked at the city gate getting closer and closer, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.
Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, and his eyes lit up. "If the strength of Juhe County City is really strong enough to defeat the 50,000-strong army of Yan thieves, then I will join this county magistrate."
As an aide to the prefect Liu Litao, he was very clear about the military and political situation of Lu County City. Even if he tried his best, he could not resist the 50,000-strong army of Yan thieves.
If Juhe County really defeated the 50,000-strong army of Yan thieves with its own strength, this strength would definitely crush Lu County City.
In troubled times, the strong are respected.
Obviously, the future is better with this person.
"My Lord Governor, I'm sorry." Qian Cang felt guilty in his heart and thought, "After all, who doesn't want to survive in this chaotic world? I have no choice but to do this!
"Of course, I still hope that the results of the battle are fake, so that we can pretend that nothing happened, alas..."
...
Liu Litao was very concerned about the affairs of Juhe County, therefore, the horse Qian Cang rode was the second fastest in the prefectural government.
After galloping all night, they reached the destination of three hundred miles in less than half a day.
After entering the city, it was not convenient for Qian Cang to inquire about the situation directly, so he thought of finding a crowded place and listening to other people's discussions.
After finding the basic clues, he would start a conversation and ask questions.
This way, he would not appear to be too deliberate.
But he soon discovered that everyone seemed to be gathering towards the south of the city.
This made Qian Cang very curious, and he could not help but stop a skinny boy with ordinary looks and asked, "Hey little brother, what are you guys going to do? "
The young man was Zhao Goudan. He shook his head and asked in confusion, "You don't even know that yesterday the county magistrate summoned the wind and rain on the city gate to defeat the Yan dogs, and now he is going to behead the leader of the Yan dogs, Wang Shun, and put his head in front of everyone!"
After saying that, he shook off Qian Cang and hurriedly caught up with the crowd.
Zhao Goudan had a blood feud with Wang Shun. His father, mother, brothers and sisters all died at the hands of Wang Shun. He didn't want to miss the scene of Wang Shun being beheaded.
"Hiss!" Qian Cang couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, and his heart suddenly became extremely panicked. "Wang Shun, the Yan thief Anbei general Wang Shun, the brother of King Yan? No, I have to go and see. "
He hurriedly followed, mixed in the crowd, and soon arrived at the vegetable market in the south of the city.
Wang Shun was trapped on a table on a high platform.
Although he has not been beheaded yet, he is already dying.
After all, he was tied here yesterday, and he didn't know how many people came to throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves on his head.
If it weren't for the soldiers blocking him, he would have been stoned to death.
"It's really Wang Shun! This, this, what should I do?" Qian Cang looked at the dying prisoner on the high platform, his heart was shocked. He had seen Wang Shun's portrait and recognized it at a glance.
Just along the way, he had learned about yesterday's battle situation from the discussions of the people around him.
It was not luck that there was no confrontation between the two armies.
It turned out that the newly appointed Juhe County Magistrate had poured a bowl of water on the city wall, which instantly brought about a violent storm, lightning and thunder, and used the power of heaven and earth to defeat the Yan bandit army.
Every citizen was shocked, as they had seen it with their own eyes.
And it happened just yesterday.
Qian Cang was a little skeptical of life after hearing this.
This is too outrageous!
I thought you were a powerful and brave general, but I didn't expect you to be a god? !
Just when he was confused in his heart.
Suddenly, he felt someone patting his shoulder.
Qian Cang looked back and saw a young man dressed as a yamen runner standing behind him. "Who are you?"
Monk Huishi said with a stone-like face and no expression: "Come with me, the county lord wants to see you."
"..." Qian Cang was stunned. Was he exposed?
"Don't be surprised." Monk Huishi said indifferently, "Your bastard governor not only sent you to inquire about the news, but there was another one before you. However, he has already surrendered to our county lord and pushed you out."
"..." Qian Cang was stunned.
What the hell, while he was still struggling with whether to surrender, someone had already taken action? ? ?
How could they not appreciate the governor's kindness at all? !
"Let's go, do you still need me to treat you?" Monk Huishi said with a bad face.
"No, no, I can go, I can go." Qian Cang immediately nodded and followed.
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the high platform behind him.
"You little yellow-haired boy, you dare to kill me, you must not die well! When my brother captures this city in the future, I will make this whole city be buried with me!"
As soon as the voice fell,
the executioner's ghost-head knife had already chopped off Wang Shun's big head like cutting tofu.
In an instant, the people were boiling and cheering.
Qian Cang couldn't help but look back, and saw the blood rising into the sky, like a thread, which frightened him so much that he trembled all over and his steps became faster.
"You must surrender, you must surrender! The governor is nothing compared to your life!"
