64 The city fell
Ling Makeup and Zhang's came out, and the bright room had been put in place, and the two went to find Lian Xian together.
didn't want Ling Dongcheng to be there, and smiled and talked to Ling Yun.
Ling Makeup hindered Ling Yun's bad seizures, and she didn't know how to speak, so she sat silently.
Lian Cheng stepped down from the screen, and Ling Dongcheng accosted his daughter with a little flattery.
Ling Xiang endured his breath and told the movement of King Zhuang's mansion.
Ling Dongcheng and Lian Xian glanced at each other, and said: "Recently, your uncle has also inquired about a lot of news outside, in my opinion, no matter how tense the situation outside is, this battle is always different from foreign invasions, whoever wants to sit on the dragon chair must appease the people, and your uncle was hung here as the head of the household that day, as long as the prison is not too much, we can all survive this catastrophe, you don't have to worry too much." ”
Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
Ling Xiang heard the meaning of his father's words, if it was really a pure flat-headed person, it would be fine, but now that it is involved in the Zhuang Wangfu for no reason, Su Jinhong's matter is still unknown, but it is a hidden danger.
At that time, the marriage that everyone applauded became an ambush in a short period of time, and Ling Xiang could only laugh in his heart.
Ling Dongcheng said again: "Prices in Kyoto have skyrocketed in the past few days, and your aunt's family has taken refuge here, there are some things that don't ...... mentioned, although they are close relatives."
Only then did Ling Xiang know that Ling Chunniang's family actually lived in the mansion, and when she thought of the pair of brothers and sisters and the concubines and cousins that Ling Dongcheng didn't dare to mention, she was so choked that she didn't want to say more.
When I returned to Zhuliju, when I had handed over the sea, the master and servant thundered in their stomachs.
The kite branch sent people to the kitchen to order a few bowls of chicken noodles to satisfy everyone's hunger, Ling Xiang used a few chopsticks to fall asleep, how could he listen to the rustling wind outside the window. Tossing and turning, I couldn't sleep, and I was confused for nearly four days.
But not for a while. The thunderous sound came and went, and the earth shook the mountains. Ling Xiang hurriedly put on his clothes and stood up, stunned for a long time, before he realized that this was the sound of siege artillery.
There was no one in the house, but several maids were also woken up, and hurriedly beat the candlesticks covered with red gauze, and chirped softly in the second room: "Grandma, is grandma awake?"
Ling Xiang opened the door and saw that Feizheng Wenqin and Shi Xiao both had bitter gourd faces, and comforted them: "What is there to panic about? It's just a fight between brothers who have uneven property." I can't stop you!"
"It's okay for us not to get in the way, but I'm afraid that the cannon won't have long eyes and fly indiscriminately. The kite hurried up to serve his master and dress.
Ling Xiang walked out of the bedroom with them and sat down on the couch outside.
The maids lit candlesticks all over the house, and gathered around their master in a restless manner.
Pindi found the copper tongs, sandwiched red-hot charcoal from the cloisonné enamel cage, added it to a small purple rust hand stove, and sent it to Ling Xuan's hand.
"It's not cold in the house, but you're cautious. Ling Xiangbai complained, listening to the kite's ears, but only felt intimate. I was depressed and unhappy.
Everyone stayed silent for a while, and the sound of artillery outside became denser and the movement became louder and louder. There was even a faint sound of the wall collapsing and the house collapsing, crying dad and calling for mother.
The maids all turned white, or stared at Ling Makeup, or looked out of the window.
Fortunately, the dense sound of artillery did not last long. It seems to have been waiting for a long time, and it seems that it is only a moment. Outside, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves and horns in the street. The slogans of the soldiers......
Ling Xiang finally couldn't sit still, got up and took the maids to Qiwu Hall.
Ling Dongcheng and his wife were also startled, Lian took Ling Yun over, held his head in his arms and let him sleep for a while, although You Zizi had a yellow face, it looked like there was nothing wrong.
After a while, Ling Chunniang's family and even Chengxian's family came, but the pair of cheap aunts did not appear.
In the face of war, the matter between wives and concubines has really become a matter of family affairs, and no one cares about this anymore.
Ling Dongcheng said: "I asked people to watch from the door, and now I can only guard this home, and I am afraid that it will be more dangerous outside." ”
Everyone nodded.
After a while, Ah Qi came to the hall and replied: "There are many soldiers outside, and some of them have knocked on the door, saying that the emperor's grandson is taking over the city defense, and there is an order from above to do nothing to the people, please rest assured." ”
"So fast!" Ling Xiang couldn't help but be surprised, worried about whether Concubine Sun and the others had left the city and settled properly, and whether they were thoughtful.
Ah Qi was very clever and hurriedly said: "The little one also inquired a few words, it seems that someone opened the city gate to greet him, and there was no fierce battle, and the Chinese army heard that they all entered the palace." ”
"Amitabha!" Ling Chunniang unconsciously recited a word of Buddha.
Cheng Run asked, "I wonder if the shop will open as usual tomorrow morning?"
Ling Dongcheng said: "Let's rest for a few days and see if there will be chaos in the city, if the order is stable, it will not be too late to open." ”
Even Chengxian agreed: "What my brother-in-law said is that we are afraid that there will be mobs to make trouble, so we have already hidden all the valuable medicinal materials in the warehouse and hired people to guard them. ”
Everyone gathered to discuss, and they did not dare to mention royal affairs, but only blessed the situation to stabilize quickly, and soon the sky was bright.
Ling Dongcheng sent someone out to inquire again.
Ling Makeup couldn't hold it back, wrapped a cloak and climbed to the top of the highest rockery stacked at the back of the mansion, looking into the distance.
There was no ban on people entering and leaving the city, but the atmosphere was not as good as usual.
There were many troops stationed in the city, and from time to time cavalrymen in fresh clothes and angry horses and infantry trotting in formations passed by in the streets.
The armor worn by these sergeants is very different from the soldiers that Da Yin usually sees, all of them are golden, red, tasseled and red, well-equipped, some formations are armed with shields and spears, some formations are armed with firearms and golden knives, and the horses of the cavalry are also heavily armed, vigorous and neat, uniform, and a breath of iron and blood is rushing to the face.
Ling Xiang took a closer look and sighed, just looking at the equipment and appearance of King Jin's army, she knew that Emperor Chunxi's side was over. Merchants bear many additional taxes, such as some transportation of the army, filial piety, so they are more aware of the situation in the army. Something like a gun, although the power greatly exceeds that of a bow and crossbow, but the Da Yin building process can't keep up, the firing steps are cumbersome, and it will explode, and it will hurt itself every few times, and it will either die or be disabled, so although the army is also equipped with some, it is not used routinely. Seeing that the cavalry of these armies were all equipped with short guns and broadswords with one side of the front, and the firearms battalion carried more than one long gun on their backs, it was no wonder that they had overcome the problem of exploding chambers, and it was no wonder that they were invincible.
Some people outside also noticed that there was a young woman who stopped and watched on the rockery in the deep courtyard, but she felt that her body was slim, but most of her head and face were covered by the hood, but she couldn't see it really.
After only one day of turmoil in Beijing, the little people sent out to inquire said that many notices were posted on the streets, signaling the people to live in peace and withdraw their troops from the city after the rebels were arrested.
In just one day, the original ruler became a traitor, and the world was impermanent, which made people sigh. (To be continued.) )
