Chapter 265 Preventing troubles before it happens

The sound of horse hooves went away, and Jing Chao's sharpshooter left with one blow, decisive, ruthless and decisive.

Chen Ji turned around and looked at the arrow hole on the city gate tower. The feather arrows sank strongly, and even shot the wooden beams on the city gate tower into a gap. There were two more brand new arrow holes on the city gate tower.

This is not the first time that Jing Chao persuaded surrender.

He turned around and looked at Hu Junxian, holding the silk cloth that he had persuaded to surrender in his hand, silently looking at the distant scenery towards the camp.

The next moment.

Hu Junxian threw the silk cloth into the dark night and drifted into the distance: "If you were me, would you open the door and offer the city?"

Chen Ji didn't answer. This was not a question he could answer, and he shouldn't answer it.

Seeing that he did not answer, Hu Junxian continued to ask: "If I don't offer the city, I, Hu, will naturally be famous for my country forever. In the future, the historians will record that I, Hu, will be loyal and righteous. If I, Hu, was despised by the historians for thousands of years, but the people behind him can be safe. If you were the ones, what would you do?"

Chen Ji was silent for a long time, but still refused to answer this question: "General Hu, I am just a concubine of the Chen family. I am a slight person. It is better to discuss with Vice General Zhou."

Hu Junxian held the wall and said calmly: "The King Daosheng is right. He is indeed a vigilant and hides everything. People like you should go to places like the capital where stone lions are all conscientious and should not stay in the border."

Chen Ji did not refute.

But Hu Junxian continued, "As for Zhou You, he has been locked in a prison by me."

Chen Ji was slightly stunned: "What happened to Vice General Zhou?"

Hu Junxian turned around and entered the city gate tower, sitting on the chair with a golden sword, as strong as a mountain: "I believed him wrongly, which gave him the opportunity to burn his food and fodder."

Is it true that Zhouyou fake game really made?

Chen Ji hesitated and asked: "Why did Vice General Zhou rebel?"

Hu Junxian sneered: "Half of my border soldiers want to rebel every day and night, and it's not surprising that he wants to rebel, but it's surprising that he doesn't want to rebel."

Chen Jin was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to say this: "Can General Hu want to rebel too?"

Hu Junxian said expressionlessly: "This is not something you should care about."

Chen Ji tentatively said: "General Hu, how long can the border army's food last?"

Hu Junxian said calmly: "Kill the camels you conquered, hold on for another five days, kill the horses, hold on for another three days."

Chen Ji asked again: "When will reinforcements arrive?"

Hu Junxian said: "It may be within 20 days, or it may never be able to wait."

Chen Ji fell into deep thought. If he looked at it this way, Guyuan would be lost regardless of whether Hu Junxian opened the city gate or not. Jing Chao only needed to surround Guyuan for another fifteen days, and then the border troops would not even have the strength to defend the city.

At this time, the personal guard brought tea to the two of them. Hu Junxian picked up the teacup and drank it all: "These few days, when Jing Chaotiance's army entered the city, he would definitely arrest all the border generals and princely followers as soon as possible, disguised as the people, and perhaps could escape the disaster. This is what I have to say, "

After saying that, he called someone to bring a household registration document: "This household registration document can help you hide your eyes. When Jing Chaotian Cejun saw the document, he only thought you were an ordinary Guyuan people and would not think too much."

Chen Ji's heart was shocked. Hu Junxian was about to open the door to offer the city. This time, he called himself to teach him how to escape the entire city search by Jing Chao's army.

But I have four people here, but only one household registration document.

He stood up and said goodbye with the household registration documents in his hand.

Just as he was about to leave the city gate tower, Hu Junxian suddenly asked, "If your teacher Wang Daosheng is here, would he open the door to offer the city?"

Chen Ji stood in front of the threshold of the city gate tower and turned around and said calmly: "I don't know how the teacher will make a decision...but I don't know."

Hu Junxian looked at Chen Ji silently, and Chen Ji looked back without avoiding or giving in.

After more than ten breaths, Hu Junxian said calmly: "I understand, go."

After Chen Ji left, he got up and came to the side of the wall. His calloused hands rubbed the rougher bricks and stones of the city wall, and sighed long: "Guyuan, Guyuan..."

...

...

Chen Ji rode his horse and galloped, and was in a hurry.

Hu Junxian did not say whether he would open the door to celebrate the city, but Chen Ji felt a vague feeling in his heart that the other party would celebrate the city.

If at that moment, no one would be sure whether Jing Chao kept his promise and never massacre the city, or followed the ancestral teachings to massacre the city. Before that, Chen Ji still had something to do.

He lowered his body and walked through the messy streets of Guyuan. When he returned to the gate of Longmen Inn, he turned over and dismounted and patted Zaozao on the back: "Go back to the stable by yourself."

After saying that, Zaozao walked towards the backyard with the reins in his arms, and Chen Ji lifted the curtains in a dusty manner.

In an instant, everyone in the inn's main hall looked like a beam of light hitting Chen Ji.

He looked around quietly, but saw half of the Yulin Army sitting in the main hall, and half of them were Guyuan tyrants who came to trade news. Everyone was worried.

Seeing that it was Chen Ji who had bought news from him before, the man surnamed Li stood up and asked anxiously: "What news should I sell today?"

Another person stood up and said, "Can you know the direction of Jing Chao? What are the plans of the border troops?"

"How many more days can Guyuan last?"

Everyone asked in a verbal way, as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Li Xuan originally wanted to ask what happened after Chen Ji was taken away by the border army, what Hu Junxian wanted to do, and whether the border army still had food, but now he couldn't even get a word.

Chen Ji pushed away the people who gathered up and walked straight to the counter: "I'll give it up, I'm the same as you, I don't know anything."

He squeezed through the crowd and came to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was wearing a black cloth shirt and was still holding the notes calmly, saying with great interest: "If the guest sells some useful news at this time, he may be able to make a lot of money. These people are eager to seek medical treatment, and they may be willing to use all their wealth to exchange for a way out."

Chen Ji shook his head: "Now is not the time to make money. The shopkeeper, I have something to ask Mr. Hu San. Do you know where he is?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Is the guest looking for me to buy news?"

Chen Ji looked at him: "Yes."

The shopkeeper shook his head: "Mr. Hu San is in the guest room of Tianzi B. The guest official will go to him."

Chen Ji was slightly stunned and turned around and ran upstairs.

The shopkeeper looked at his back and then gave Xiaowu a wink: "Come to the counter and stare."

After saying that, he took advantage of the inattention and bent down to lift the wooden boards under the counter, and shrank into the underground secret passage.

In front of the door of Room No. 1, Chen Ji gently knocked on the door with his knuckles.

The door opened. Master Hu San opened a crack in the door. Seeing that it was Chen Ji, he immediately poked his head out to check the left and right corridors. After confirming that there was no one, he whispered: "Let's come in and talk."

When the door closed again, Mr. Hu San asked curiously: "What's the matter with me?"

Chen Ji lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Hu San once said that he could help me buy ginseng. I wonder if it is true or false?"

Mr. Hu San smiled: "Of course it's true."

Chen Ji took a deep breath: "But I can't wait four days later. Can Master Hu San advance the time? I will have that batch of ginseng tomorrow."

"So anxious?" Mr. Hu frowned and said, "Jing Chaotiance Army is coming?"

Chen Ji was silent for a moment: "Sorry, I can't say it."

Mr. Hu San said calmly: "Now, this is the only thing in Guyuan City that can be called "100,000 urgent". But there is only one person who can make Guyuan break the city tomorrow. Hu Junxian. Hu Junxian wants to open the door to offer the city, right?"

Chen Ji said carelessly: "General Hu is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and I don't think he will do this."

Mr. Hu San smiled and said, "I know my cousin better than you. He hopes that Jing Chao will drive straight into the capital and take Emperor Ning's head."

Chen Ji was stunned: "Why?"

Master Hu San sat at the Eight Immortals table in a serene manner and poured two cups of tea: "Sit down and talk."

Chen Ji sat down but did not move the tea.

Mr. Hu looked at the cup, and then spoke, "Hu Junxian was originally devoted to practicing, but he only took the post of a general in the Long Live Army. He entered the innate realm at the age of sixteen and entered the seeking realm at the age of twenty-seven. At that time, his heart was higher than the sky, and he always felt that the threshold of the realm of the Divine Realm was only one step away from him. He ignored all the social engagements between his colleagues, and put them behind the minds of marrying and having children. But some people couldn't bear to see that the Hu family might have two officials in the Divine Realm."

Mr. Hu continued: "Hu Junxian, and Hu Junyan, the Imperial Heaven Supervision, if both of them enter the Divine Realm, many people will be in danger. So someone thought of a way to get rid of the hidden danger of Hu Junxian."

Chen Ji asked curiously: "Someone poisoned him?"

Mr. Hu sneered, "Why do you need such twists and turns as poisoning? In the 22nd year of Jianing, an imperial edict came to the Hu family and named him the deputy general of Guyuan and the third rank of official position."

Chen Ji felt cold in his heart.

The prince once said that once the official position reaches the third level, it will be contrary to the path of cultivation and will dispel the state of cultivation.

If Hu Junxian does not accept the order, he will be disrespectful to the order. But if he accepts it, the moment Hu Junxian receives the order, his practice will be gone. From then on, he can only be an ordinary person.

This imperial edict for the title of official is so vicious, but no one can find fault with it.

Chen Ji asked, "Hu Junxian took it?"

Mr. Hu San sighed: "If he doesn't accept it, the Hu family will be charged with the crime of resisting the order. How can he sit back and ignore it? If you are him, do you hate it?"

Chen Ji frowned: "It is difficult to advance to the realm of Shendao, and Hu Junxian may not be able to take that step, so why bother?"
