Chapter 370 Black Hand
Guan Yu slapped his horse back and rushed to Qinjiazhuang, but saw that everything was as usual. Except for the few drops of blood scattered on the snow field when he escaped by the Hun cavalry, there was no trace of battle.
When Guan Yu saw this scene, he immediately felt something was wrong. He slapped his horse and rushed into the village. Regardless of the anxious inquiries of men, women, young and old in the village, he only asked Chen Gong: "Sir, have any Hun cavalry ever rushed in?"
Chen Gong shook his head and said, "I haven't seen the Hun cavalry. But there are a few heroes from other places who came to chase after them on horseback, saying that they want to help the general."
Guan Yu was furious and furious. Without saying much, he rushed out of the village and rushed to the place where he broke up with the Du girl. However, he saw dead bodies on the ground and snow where his footprints were deliberately wiped out. Where were the traces of those women?
Angry roar burst out in the snow. The most powerful general in the world was running around with a big sword, looking for his beloved no one everywhere.
In the sky, the wind and clouds rolled, and the snow fell, sprinkled on the bodies in the snow until the bright red ground was gradually covered by snow. All the traces of fighting and the footprints left behind disappeared under the flying snow.
Finally, Guan Yu, who was exhausted, stopped his horse and looked at the vast snowy field in the distance, and his grief and anger were neighing. A drop of tears slowly flowed down from the eyes of the strong man.
"What, Qin Yilu is dead?" Huang Shang, who was practicing writing big characters, turned around in front of the case, played with the men in black who came to report, and shouted loudly.
The men in black bowed and replied, "Yes, they have been buried in Qinjiazhuang."
Huang Shang stared at them and sneered: "I didn't expect you to be really hard-working. I haven't explained it yet. You just fuck him by yourself!"
The men in black hurriedly argued: "The Prime Minister misunderstood! We originally sent people to mingle among the bride-sending team and guests as the Prime Minister's orders, and were about to snatch the bride when everyone was drunk that night, but unexpectedly, the Huns suddenly came over and killed the bride-stricken team. Qin Yilu was also killed and snatched the bride. We originally wanted to chase and take back the bride, but later we saw Guan Yu going, but we didn't dare to do it. We waited for him to snatch the person. We used lies to deceive him and snatch the woman in the prime minister's place to pay attention to us."
They explained the causes and consequences in detail, and said that the Huns were just one of the Huns' troops who went south to plunder food. No one would care about this matter if they were destroyed. After Qinjiazhuang was hurt, it was no different from usual. Although the bride disappeared, no one went to find them, and even if they were searched, they could not find them.
Huang Shang then realized, and sat down and pondered: "I didn't expect Guan Yu would get involved in this matter. Hehe, you join forces with Zhang Yan in Heishan, would I care? It's just a group of reptiles. Ten times more, it's not enough to see it! However, if he and the woman had feelings for each other, they would probably have it."
He looked at the men in black, and the men in black were hurriedly laughing: "What the Prime Minister said is right. The woman Du was sold to the Chen family by us. She cried all day long, only to say that the Red Horse General would definitely come to save her. Judging from her meaning, she was already moved by Guan Yu."
Huang Shang showed an excited expression on his face, and he laughed: "Interesting, interesting! I don't know what Guan Yu's woman looks like? I really want to see it more and more."
He raised his head and ordered: "Tell me my order to the Chen family that the women who were sold to his family should be treated well, prevented them from seeking death, and teach them to sing and dance for future use. He only said that they were robbed by the thieves and sold to the Chen family. The Chen family treated them as singing and dancing girls and used to treat guests, but others were not allowed to bully them. If there is any violation, they will be killed!"
Several men in black bowed to take the order and retreated one by one.
After leaving the hall, the man in black walked away silently, and finally couldn't help talking to each other and said, "How did the Prime Minister know that the Du girl is very beautiful and we have to monitor her in advance?"
A companion shook his head and said, "The Prime Minister knows everything. How can we guess these things? In addition to monitoring the princes and famous generals in various places, there are many other things to monitor these beauties. It seems that the Prime Minister has already planned."
Another man in black shook his head and sighed: "The Prime Minister has also found many beauties. I really don't know if the Prime Minister will leave some beauties for others. Of course, the premise is that this beauties cannot be seen or known by the Prime Minister."
From afar, Huang Shang heard the voices of several people with his super strong hearing, and sneered inwardly: "The beauty I don't know is a nameless person who has never been written in history. I can only marry the generals under them. Otherwise, would I let it go easily?"

Du Shiniang stood on the high building, looking up, hoping to see the man who moved her heart on the road outside the village, but she had never seen a trace. It was not until it was getting late that she sighed peacefully, walked downstairs, and went to do needlework under the oil lamp with other maids.
She didn't know why she was named Du Shiniang, which was not suitable for the name of her maid. Since she was bought by Chen, Bingzhou, she ranked tenth among the thirteen women who were bought together, named Du Shiniang, but did not change her surname. Although she begged to the Chen general manager, she said that she was the daughter of a good family and the Du family was also a famous family in Bingzhou, but all she got was a scolding and threatened by being whipped.
After several times of escape, Du Shiniang gradually accepted the fact that she was a maid. Besides, the war outside was in chaos, and she was a weak woman who ran out. She was afraid that she would be caught by the rioters and mobs in the future. At that time, she was afraid that she would have to experience cruel humiliation before her death. It would be better to be on standby here. Anyway, the Chen family treated her maids and dancers. In addition to giving her warm clothes, she would not let men bully her poor women. Even in her own home, she had never seen her maids receive such preferential treatment.
Other maids also knew that she was a lady from a great clan, and she was able to do anything. Especially the twelve maids, who had always been taking care of her in the Du family, but now they are grateful and the work assigned by them is rushing to do for her.
In the past few months, in addition to working in the Chen family, the Chen family also hired a piano player and dancer to teach them to sing and dance. It seems that they are determined to use them as dancers. Although Du Shiniang was reluctant, she was afraid of becoming a man's plaything and bringing shame to the family, she had not been bullied by a man for so long, and her heart gradually became stable.
When she was free, she silently missed her parents in the distance and the mighty man who saved her. Her husband rarely remembered her, and even if she thought of her, she lost it in the blink of an eye. After all, she was still confused when she got married, and she only looked at Qin Yilu from a distance and was sent to the carriage she was riding on when she got married.
But that strong man was different. He used to live with him, and in his heart, he seemed to be very close to him, as if he had known him for many years.
Now that she is free, she will climb up the tall building, stare at the distance, and wait for her parents or the man to come and pick her up home.
At night, in the house where the maids lived, she lay in the cold quilt and cried secretly. What happened repeatedly in her heart was the heroic appearance of the man and the powerful arms that she deeply missed.
He is so brave that if he had protected him, he would not have been bullied. Thinking of this, tears flowed out of Du Shiniang's eyes and wet the pillow.
The next morning, Du Shiniang climbed up the high building with her red eyes and looked into the sky again, hoping that her heart would be sad to come to greet her.
The other maids shook their heads and sighed softly, doing the needlework she should have for him.
They also guessed her thoughts, but they couldn't bear to wake her dreams up, so they could only let him continue to immerse himself in the dream.
That morning, the piano player and dancer did not come, so that Du Shiniang could stand quietly on the pavilion and look into the distance.
Suddenly, a smoke rising from afar attracted Du Shiniang's attention. She tried hard to look over there and gradually discovered that an army was approaching her.
Panic and excitement surged into her heart at the same time. She didn't know the purpose of this army, and did not know whether there was danger in it. But she was praying silently in her heart, hoping that he would lead the army.
In the manor below, Zhuang Dingmen, who was responsible for defense, also found smoke and dust in the distance, immediately became alert, closed the manor gate, and the rest stepped onto the high city wall to prepare for the battle.
Not long after, a fast horse was seen rushing towards the army and heading straight to the gate. The rider on the horse was wearing leather armor, looking like a messenger, shouting something loudly. Then the village gate opened and the messenger was put in.
Soon, the head of Chen's family put on formal robes and led the servants to line up to greet them.
The army approached quickly and could see the soldiers' distinctive armor, tall horses, and the awe-inspiring murderous aura of the long-standing battle formation.
Du Shiniang stared in front of her until she saw the tall and heroic figure urging her horse to gallop in front of the army that she moaned softly, grabbed the railing with both hands, and tears of surprise slowly flowed down from her beautiful eyes.
