Chapter 40 The Five Stars of the Princes

The villagers of Qiao County found the bodies of clan heroes one by one from the battlefield, intending to bury them decently another day. The bodies of other bandits were piled up together and burned them.

The raging fire ignited in the wilderness, and the rolling black smoke soared into the sky. Guo Jia, who could smell the pungent and burnt smell in the distance, sighed slightly.

Da Qiao, who was beside him, asked, "Young Master, is it that he sighing for these thieves?"

Guo Jia looked up at the starry night sky and said softly: "They were originally ordinary people. If they were not absolutely necessary, no one would want to pick up the butcher knife."

"Young master is kind-hearted and sympathetic to the people, but he also knows that the world today is lost, and the root cause is not the people, but the sky." Da Qiao raised his face to the country, and looked at Guo Jia with an indescribable excitement in autumn's eyes.

At first glance, before I could understand it, Guo Jia thought about it carefully and knew that Da Qiao was referring to the court. God, I'm afraid he was the emperor.

Turning his eyes and looking at Da Qiao for a moment, Guo Jia reached out and stroked her hair, and said softly: "Is it a hatred in my heart?"

Da Qiao trembled all over and nodded slightly.

If the emperor had not been incompetent and had no way to govern the country, how could the world be in chaos and mobs be endless? How could the two sisters lose their only relatives? If the father died suddenly and did not hate him, then what else could there be in the world that makes people feel hatred?

Holding her in his arms, Guo Jia had no thoughts in his heart, gently stroked her back, and said gently: "What's the use of hatred? If Qiao Gong had any knowledge in the spring, he would only hope that Qiao Xiao and Xiao can spend his life happily without worry."

Facing Guo Jia's chest, Da Qiao's pretty face was flushed and slightly confused. She said lightly: "Following the young master, it is Da Qiao's happiness. However, Da Qiao doesn't want to see the tragedy happen again. There are many people in the world who are more miserable than Da Qiao's life. Da Qiao hopes that the young master can stand up and rule the world in turbulent times, so that the people in the world can live and work in peace and happiness. Da Qiao also believes that the young master will be able to rule the world one day."

Guo Jia looked shocked, looked down at Da Qiao in his arms, and asked in a deep voice: "Da Qiao, who taught you this?"

Guo Jia never thought about it, but now he thought about it.

Da Qiao raised his head and looked at Guo Jia bravely, and said firmly: "Who in the world can compare with the young master's literary and martial arts? Who can love the people more than the young master?"

Guo Jia smiled bitterly, rubbed her head, and chuckled: "Da Qiao, I, Guo Jia, can choose to be the commander of the army or a strategic military advisor, but I can't be the master. In the current situation, the greatest limit for me, Guo Jia, is to find a master who can help me with all my heart, which is much luckier than many people."

"Why? Even Tao Qian, who is different from others and traitors, can be called the governor of the state, but is actually a prince. Is it not as good as Tao Qian?" Da Qiao grabbed Guo Jia's clothes with a little excitement and stared at Guo Jia.

But Guo Jia shook his head and said, "In some places, I am indeed not as good as Tao Qian. Tao Qian has soldiers, but I don't have them. If I privately invested soldiers, I will be immediately suppressed by the court for rebellion. Tao Qian has land, but I don't have soldiers. How can I have a territory? If I want to become an official, who will be filial and honest for me? I will pay to buy an official? Even if I take office, I will be slaughtered by local gentry, and development will be difficult. Tao Qian is famous, but I don't, although Tao Qian

He has a meager reputation, but he is far higher than that of the scholars in the world. If I, Guo Jia, conquer the world by myself, haha, who in the world will look down on me, a poor family? If the aristocrats do not support me, and if the rich and wealthy merchants do not support me, I just have no talent to support me, and I have no money and grain supply. How could I, Guo Jia, rise in troubled times? Da Qiao, I can only promise you that in the future, I will assist a monarch who can treat the people best. The world is not far away in the real troubled times."

Perhaps the world is already in chaos in the eyes of ordinary people, but now at most, there are bandits and bandits everywhere gathering to cause chaos. In less than two years, Emperor Ling of Han will bury the sky and Dong Zhuo, the warlord of Xiliang, entered the pass. At that time, it was the real chaotic world where wars spread throughout the country!

Two days later, Xu Chu finally woke up and settled his relatives and friends after the funeral. Xu Chu, who was wearing mourning clothes, came to visit Guo Jia in person.

Among the three simple houses in Qiao County, Guo Jia and his party are temporarily staying here.

As soon as he saw Guo Jia, Xu Chu knelt down and kowtowed three times to thank him. He stood up and fisted and said to Guo Jia, "I, Xu Chu, thanked my benefactor for helping me. If my benefactor did not help me, I, Xu Chu, would not be a pity for my life, but these villagers would probably not escape the disaster."

Guo Jia stepped forward and held Xu Chu's hands, shook his head and said, "Zhongkang bravely resisted the enemy, which is a rare hero today. If you and I are in a situation, Zhongkang will definitely take action with justice."

Xu Chu nodded in a muffled voice and said, "That's natural."

"In this way, you and I are all in the same way, why do you have to thank me? It is my lifelong blessing for me, Guo Jia, to make friends with Zhongkang today. We agreed that we will fulfill it now."

He led Xu Chu into the hall in the house. Although the humble room was narrow, it could not stop their enthusiasm. He put a drink on his face, and everyone sat on the ground, raising their glasses and drinking.

When Xu Chu heard Guo Jia and others fleeing from Xuzhou, he raised his glass to Guo Jia with enthusiasm and said, "I have heard Guo Jia's name before, and I thought it was nonsense and spread rumors. I was wondering how a 14-year-old boy could set fire to 10,000 Yellow Turban thieves in Changshe? It would be nice not to be scared to pee his pants. Unexpectedly, after seeing me really seeing Fengxiao today, I realized that I was blind, little grandpa, I, Xu Chu, respect you!"

Guo Jia laughed and drank the wine in his glass, laughing and laughing in the narrow room.

As the earliest outsider to travel with Guo Jia, Gan Ning expressed what Guo Jia did along the way as a topic of conversation. Xu Chu was fascinated by the hearing and wanted to be there, and empathized with it and experienced the scenes of revenge together.

Linjiang skillfully rescued the Jinfan thieves, shaved Sun Bofu with Changsha, and Xuzhou was powerful to Tao Gongzu... Now, with Qiao County killing and repelling the bandits, Guo Jia has been more exciting than many people in his life in less than half a year since he left Yingchuan. If Xiao Zhong wanted to say that, he would probably have to add Hedong to kill Wei Zhongdao angrily.

As everyone was drunk, the topic turned to life ambitions. It was natural for them to help the poor, the poor, punish evil and eliminate evil. Now that they have followed Guo Jia, they will make contributions on the battlefield and protect the country and the people.

When they asked Guo Jia, Guo Jia just said lightly: "The world is peaceful."

The four simple words behind it is a bumpy road with a long journey.

Xu Chu raised his respect, put down the wine bowl, clasped his fists at Guo Jia, and said, "Little Grandpa, I don't have the grand ambitions of you. I just want to kill the enemy and make contributions and do my best to peace in the world. If you look down on me, take me with you, and I will join you in the heroic leader. If I can be a front-line horse, I will be satisfied."

Guo Jia helped him up and joked: "If every front-line pawn is as powerful as Xu Zhongkang, then wouldn't this general who led the army want the gods to come down to earth?"

Hahaha……

Just as everyone was drinking and laughing, Xiao Zhong entered the room and came to Guo Jia, saying, "Little Taigong, the court issued a notice and ordered all counties to arrest Xiao Taigong."

Before Guo Jia could react, Gan Ning slapped the table and said furiously: "It must be the old thief Tao Gongzu!"

Without thinking too much about this, it is possible to know that killing the people of the Wei family in Hedong is at best a crime of murder, but killing Tao merchants and Tao Qian almost lost their lives, that is, to murder the imperial court officials. The key point is that they can be convicted of treason.

"Haha, we have turned Xuzhou upside down. Tao Gongzu lost his son and was sad. It is understandable that I am arrested by the court. It is okay." Guo Jia did not care at all. It is still unknown how many officials in the court's list of documents will be executed. The government orders are not yet met. How many people will execute the orders that a wanted criminal will be executed?

But Xiao Zhong looked worried and said nervously: "Little Grandpa, we are traveling outside like the wind, but the old and young people in Yingchuan..."

Xiao Zhong’s concerns are not an unfair concern. After all, Yingchuan has a large number of children of aristocratic families who dislike Guo Jia. If they take advantage of the issue, they may be thunderous and thunderous fellow villagers in their family who are as close as flesh and blood.

He raised his head to drink the last bowl of wine, Guo Jia wiped his mouth and smiled at Xiao Zhong, "Don't worry, Youzhicai and Yuan Zhi are here, those little despises cannot cause trouble."

Xiao Zhong suddenly realized and felt relieved after thinking of Xi Zhicai and Xu Shu.

"Zhongkang, I plan to leave Qiao County early tomorrow morning. Now I am the main criminal who the court calls on the world to arrest. If I stay here again, it will inevitably bring bad luck to the people of Qiao County."

As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, Xu Chu stood up and bowed, "Then I'll go back to pack my clothes and leave with my little grandfather tomorrow."

...

Yingchuan

Xun Yan, who was wearing a Confucian robe, handed a land deed to Xi Zhicai and said with emotion: "I have been traveling for only half a year in Fengxiao, but I have repeatedly committed heinous crimes. If I don't restrain myself in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to predict."

Xi Zhicai took the land deed and handed it to Guo Xiu next to him. He bowed to Xun Yan and said, "Thank you brother Xiuruo. Fengfei is unruly and unruly. He is so kind of innocence and nature. I don't know how many years he has been persuading him, but he never changes his words and deeds as usual. Haha, when he comes back, Brother Xiuruo will come forward to advise him a few words."

Xun Yan, who shook his head and smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said goodbye and left.

Guo Xiu, who was calm and steady on the side, flipped the land deed and said to Xi Zhicai: "Sir, these land deeds are fine, they have all been replaced by your name."

Xi Zhicai nodded and transferred all the land and houses under Guo Jia's name to his own name, which could cut off the idea that the Yingchuan gentry wanted to take the opportunity to play. Guo Jia had no blood relatives here and would not be implicated. In name, they all had no relatives with Guo Jia.

Recently, Zuo Ci, who was receiving fellow Taoist Yu Ji, brought his friend into the mountain. In the vast smoke of the peak, Zuo Ci sighed and Yu Ji, who was beside him, asked in a strange voice: "Yuan Fang, do you have any worries?"

Zuo Ci narrowed his eyes and looked up at the sky, and said lightly: "The five stars of the princes in the gate are shifting brightly and darkly, and the troubled times are not far away."
