Chapter 385 Thoughts
"Qu Ze, the criminal from Xianglin County, Rinan Prefecture, pays respect to the great Han general!"

The Han troops that kept coming out of the mountains and forests were undoubtedly a heavy blow to Qu Ze's heart. He knelt down in front of Shamoke and lowered his head, wishing he could bury his head in the dirt. He had previously thought that Dian Wei was the highest-ranking official among the three, but who would have thought that Shamoke's words would make the Han troops hidden in the mountains and forests come out in full force, and the number was definitely more than a hundred!

Even just one sentence confirmed his identity. Even Dian Wei, who killed Fan Jian, and the gravel that wiped the short spear did not say a word of "no".

It is clear at a glance who is the leader and who is the follower!
"Get up, we can't stand this!" Shamoke helped Qu Ze up. There was no trace of contempt on his rough face, but a gentleness that was completely different from before. This made Qu Ze, who was meeting a Han general for the first time, tremble uncontrollably with his hands. The death of Fan Jian and his county soldiers made him sad. Even though they had despised him for a long time, who could be heartless?

But reason told him that these people deserved to die. Without the Han Dynasty, how could they exist? They accepted the gift from the Han Dynasty, but turned around to hate and slander the Han Dynasty. Moreover, they were one of the counties of the Han Dynasty. Lambs kneel down to receive milk from their mothers in gratitude, and crows feed their mothers with food. He didn't know why they had to rebel and be enemies with the Han Dynasty.

On the contrary, the generals of the Han Dynasty treated the rebels with thunder and lightning, but treated a criminal like him with gentleness.
Seeing Qu Ze sometimes sad, sometimes annoyed, and sometimes moved, Shamoke was very puzzled. He scratched his head and thought: This person from Xianglin County might have a brain disease. The military doctor said that epidemic diseases are contagious, so could this brain disease also be contagious?

Thinking of this, he wanted to take a few steps back and keep some distance from Qu Ze.

Who would have thought that at this moment, Zhao Yun came over with big strides, and Shamo Ke Dianwei and the others all praised him, "General Zhao!"

General Zhao?
Qu Ze was stunned for a moment. Shouldn't the person in front of him be the general with the highest rank?
How did a General Zhao suddenly appear?

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man who was over eight feet tall, with a dignified appearance, a white face and a short beard, and a majestic figure. He was humble and polite when still, and majestic when moving.

No matter who sees him, they will probably exclaim: What a great Han general!
Compared with him, Fan Jian and others before were not even worthy of carrying the chamber pot for him.

"General Sha, is this the man who persuaded the thief Fan just now?" Zhao Yun asked Shamoke.

Shamoke nodded and said respectfully: "General Zhao, it is this person. His name is Qu Ze, and he is from Champa in Xianglin County, Rinan Prefecture!"

"Oh?"

Zhao Yun cast an appraising glance towards Qu Ze. Facing Zhao Yun, Qu Ze felt that he pales in comparison. He did not dare to look Zhao Yun in the eye, so he lowered his head.

Zhao Yun thought to himself: Could it be that the person serving under the command of the county lieutenant Qu of Xianglin County who is named Champa is Qu Lian’s younger brother?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun asked in a gentle voice: "Don't panic, don't worry. Your name is Qu Ze? May I ask what is your relationship with Qu Lian?"

"Company Qu." Qu Ze's heart trembled. He knew that what he had just said had been heard clearly. No, even if he didn't say it, the Han army should have noticed that something was wrong in Xianglin County. Otherwise, how could the Han army appear in Xianglin County by such a coincidence?

Aren’t you here to quell the rebellion?
As a salaried official, one should share the emperor's worries. He could not persuade Qu Lian to give up his rebellion, nor could he help the county magistrate. The county soldiers had arrived, and as a county official, he should set an example and expose Qu Lian's rebellion. If it was any later, the county magistrate's life might be in danger!
In just a moment, Qu Ze gritted his teeth and made up his mind. His knees softened again and he was about to kneel down, but unexpectedly he was stopped by a pair of strong arms. He looked up and saw Zhao Yun's serious face.

"A man's knees are made of gold. Don't kneel again." Zhao Yun frowned slightly, obviously a little unhappy. There was no etiquette of kneeling in the Han Dynasty. You should know that in the pre-Qin period, King Zhaoxiang of Qin knelt again and again to ask Fan Ju for advice. This was to seek talents without regard for dignity. The same thing happened in the fairyland when he saw and read about Liu Bei kneeling to ask Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountains.
In short, it was just a simple question, and he couldn't accept a man kneeling down to him for no reason. "Thank you very much, General Zhao." Qu Ze gave up kneeling, took a deep breath, and thought: As expected of a Han general, he speaks eloquently, and this is very wonderful.

Although he thought so in his heart, Qu Ze did not forget Zhao Yun's question. A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and the lost voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth, "I am Qu Lian's younger brother. My brother Qu Lian planned to attack the county government early and dominate Xianglin County. Today is the time for rebellion. Not only Fan Jian, but even most of the county soldiers have been bribed. I hope the general will rush to the county government as soon as possible. The county magistrate is in danger!"

After saying this, Qu Ze closed his eyes in despair and straightened his neck. Qu Lian rebelled, so how could he, as his brother, escape? Even if General Zhao was tolerant, he would never show mercy, right? He just hoped to give him a sharp knife and end it sooner.

However, the cold sewing did not come, but the puzzled voice of Gravel Stone came, "General, is this man suffering from some kind of disease? Why is he stretching his neck?"

"Be careful with your words, be careful with your words. Don't be rude in front of General Zhao!" Shamoke scolded in a low voice.

?

Qu Ze looked puzzled. Didn't he blame him?

He secretly opened his eyelids and squinted to see Zhao Yun's reaction, but what he saw was Zhang Pinghe's face.

"Let's go, lead the way." Zhao Yun said.

Qu Ze opened his eyes completely and nodded repeatedly, but he couldn't help asking, "General Zhao, I am Qu Lian's younger brother, you don't blame me?"

"Blame?" Zhao Yun shook his head as he looked at Qu Ze who was extremely nervous. As someone who had been to the fairyland and the afterlife, he certainly understood what these people on this land had done a thousand years later. They were the ones who feared danger and had no moral integrity.

As the mastermind of the rebellion, Qu Lian's three clans must be exterminated at least. What's more, he was the Gongcao of Xianglin County. He was not one of the common people who worked hard to the end of the world, nor was he forced to rebel by the harsh government. It was the people here who were fierce and had no morals or integrity. Even the county lieutenant dared to openly defy the majesty of the Han Dynasty. If it is said that Lu Bu in the novel was a rebellious person, then these people were far more rebellious than Lu Bu.

Not killing people to establish authority and then letting them go, not only the soldiers of Wudang Flying Army, but even Zhao Yun disagreed.

but.
There are too few people like Qu Ze. As Shamoke said, only the people in the counties and prefectures who do not cause chaos, do not harm the people, and identify with the Han Dynasty are Han people.

Zhao Yun will kill these ungrateful wolves without any mercy.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun said to Qu Ze: "Those who have done good should be rewarded, and those who have done wrong should be punished. You have done a good deed by persuading the traitor to change his evil ways, so why should I punish you?"
