Chapter 156: Seeing the King Who Wants to Rob Everything
Great Tuesday 19, winter, November 23, early morning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Xuhu Pass, which is 370 miles away from Pingjing, is shrouded in endless cold by cold wind and residual snow.
The solid and long city wall of the pass is full of mottled holes, large and small, the largest hole is almost the size of a house, and it is the color of that place that is the most colorful.
The walls that were supposed to be earthy yellow are now charred black, yellow, terrible crimson, and white after splashing water and freezing, and it really becomes a large patchy and worn flower cloth.
Looking up, on the high city wall, there are still a number of tired soldiers, whose equipment has long been damaged, although the war has been temporarily suspended, but the enemy situation on the battlefield has always changed rapidly, in order to prevent the enemy from changing in the middle, they are still holding their positions.
Their posture is no longer as brave and upright as before the war, but their eyes are full of excitement, one by one, they all look out from afar, until they look into the distance, and at the end of these eyes, is the military camp of those Rongdi bandits!
Ding ding dong, ding dong dong, the big gap that was knocked out by the huge city log, the people have already begun the intensive repair work.
I heard someone working and said with great joy, "Oh, my God, if General Xiao hadn't come back from the South Gate in time yesterday, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to confess thousands of lives just for this big mouth?" ”
I listened to a rough voice and said, "You can rest quickly, yesterday after pulling the corpse down from here, you are not there, we are face to face with those Rong Di dogs, I can secretly count them, our soldiers sacrificed more than two hundred, but Rong Di dogs carried away, that is more than double our side!" ”
"Our babies, you didn't embarrass our Great Zhou Dynasty!"
By the end, the man's voice was already choked, and he raised his hand to wipe a handful of painful tears, lowered his head and continued to work.
"Lao Liu, I know, your nephew is also in there." The person who was close to him comforted him, "But you forgot? ”
"Last night, our prince announced that it was the soldiers who died in this battle, in addition to the court's pension silver, he would also tell the Hou Ye that the Hou Mansion would issue another pension silver."
"The most important thing, but all the families of fallen martyrs are exempt from paying taxes for ten years!"
"There will always be a time when the silver will be spent, but this exemption from paying taxes for ten years is a great benefit for our farmers!"
Lao Liu nodded and sighed: "Yes, although we have suffered from war and suffered great crimes for many years, fortunately, the sky above our heads is not dark, you say, why did my nephew come to be a soldier?" ”
"It's not that he thinks about the high salary of the army, save some silver for his younger siblings, now it's okay, his wish has been fulfilled, this time, his brother can marry a daughter-in-law, and his sister can also marry with a good dowry!"
"But, it's my eldest nephew, and he can't go back......"
Hearing this, the hundred and ten people who worked together couldn't help but feel sad, and the middle-aged man who spoke first patted Lao Liu's shoulder and said, "Lao Liu, what you said is not right, why can't the eldest nephew go home?" ”
"Lord Shi ordered General Xiao Mu to bring all the bodies of the fallen soldiers to the north of the city, where to clean and take care of them and activate them, and you can bring your eldest nephew back in three days!"
"No, when you return to your hometown, won't you take our eldest nephew home?"
Lao Liu's throat and eyes were already choked up, but he nodded again and again, threw off his arms and worked hard, under the leadership of these people, today's work to repair the city wall was completed in half an hour.
Before that, when the sky was not yet bright, there was another small group of people, riding horses, pulling carts, with various objects secretly out of the small corner gate, all the way to the border of the two armies fighting, in a place about three hundred zhang away from the front of the Xuhu Pass, they divided labor and cooperated, and soon quietly erected a royal blue embroidered gold-edged moire tent, this is not an ordinary small tent, but a new cluster of new Doro's large tents, this one can top the small tent five so much!
This very eye-catching gorgeous tent is the latest popular thing in the capital at the end of last year, those who have a family background, the strength of the princes and grandchildren, almost everyone has a top, just waiting to go out hunting or spring outing, can be set up for everyone to admire and admire.
Camping tents, luxurious and exquisite, from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, everywhere shows nobility and luxury, such an object, and this burning war, full of stumps and broken arms, seems very incompatible, and even with the current severe and terrible environment, in sharp contrast.
One side is too beautiful, and the other is too dark.
As soon as the hour arrived, the corner gate of Xuhu Pass was opened from the inside, and a team of people walked out of the pass in an orderly manner.
The leader was a young general in silver armor, riding a tall black horse under his crotch, with a sharp sword hanging from his waist, a three-stone hard bow hanging on the side of the horse without decoration, and a golden quiver full of arrows was tightly tied behind him, and the big red cloak with the characteristics of the White Tiger Battalion was dancing with the running of the horses and being stirred by the wind.
This person is the general guarding Xuhu Pass-Mu Lingxuan!
Behind Mu Lingxuan, there were more than 20 entourages, looking at the clothes, but they were not the fierce sons and daughters of the White Tiger Battalion, there were civil officials, military generals, entourage, and guards, although the number was not much, but the profession was quite complete.
In the distance, the Rong Di camp, which was far away from this group of people and horses, their heavy triple fence made of logs, was also pushed away one by one by eight powerful and strong, shirtless, steaming hot burly men.
Two horses, one black and one red, carrying their noble masters, led a team of about fifty people, and ran in the direction of the beautiful tent that pierced the eye.
"Ba Bulei, did you see it?" With his right hand, which was studded with jeweled horsewhips, Hedag pointed to the royal blue tent standing quietly in the distance, and said excitedly, "Even the most spacious King of Hom in our red steppe, his royal tent is not as luxurious as this tent!" ”
The envy in Ba Bulei's eyes was already gushing out at this moment, but in order not to extinguish his own prestige, he still said stiffly: "But Hedage, the tent of King Holm is much better than this!" ”
"Hey, hey." The nimble-brained Hadag snickered, "What's the big one?" Look how the golden thread shines on that tent? ”
"Wouldn't this be blinding if it rested under the golden sunlight of summer?!"
"I can guarantee that whoever has such a treasure tent, even if he is a fat pig, those women who are as bright as stars on our red grassland will flock to it!
The hard-mouthed Ba Bulei can't ignore the dazzling golden yellow, which is indeed a huge temptation, not to mention the beautiful woman, which represents countless strong babies, and a man can't shake his head and say no!
"......" He pursed his lips and touched the top of his head, but he didn't say anything.
The two ran side by side for more than 100 paces, and Hei Dag didn't know how much he had calculated, so he suddenly jumped out and said, "I said Ba Bulei, since you think this tent is small, you must not rob me for a while!" ”
"Huh?" Ba Bulei was very confused about his brother-in-law's words, and he didn't react at all.
He is nine feet tall, his whole body is full of bulging muscles, and in such cold weather, he wears a single coat, plus a tiger skin robe, a full brute man, but the top ten Batel on the Red Prairie, there are few people who can fight with him for ten moves.
Seeing that his brother-in-law couldn't turn this corner, Hedage didn't say anything, just shrunk his neck and smiled, secretly proud in his heart, and even felt that the beautiful tent was already in his bag.
The guard behind Ba Bulei frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but hit his horse forward, leaned half of his body towards the master, and whispered to wake up, "King, I think King Hedag means to ......"
"Hey! Lao Hei, you are too unrighteous! Ba Bulei, who understood it, was instantly furious, pointed at his brother-in-law and shouted: "That tent is a little small, but it's beautiful!" I want it too, I will grab it in a while, let's have a fight, whoever wins, the tent will belong to whom! ”
Hei Dag immediately rolled his eyes and thought to himself: "Fighting with you, then I don't know how to lose?!" ”
"Am I as stupid as you are?"
As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived at the tent, which was already beautiful from a distance, and when they looked closer, it was even more amazingly magnificent.
Feelings are not only gold thread embroidery, those beautiful flowers, but also inlaid with all kinds of gems, pearls, jade, every corner, but also decorated with nasturtium tassels, this is for the Rongdi people who live in tents all day long, it is simply a criminal existence!
"Demolish it for King Ben!" Ba Bulei's eyes were on fire, and he ordered loudly to let his subordinates hurry up.
"Oh, be lighter under your hands, don't scratch the gold thread to this king!" Hedage's side was not far behind, he was a little more careful, and couldn't help but feel distressed and instructed his subordinates that they must not break those delicate gold threads.
When Mu Lingxuan arrived with the team, eight of the thirty-two wedges in the tent had been lifted.
Lin Huaide, who was disguised as a clerk, was immediately stunned, crying and laughing, "I really didn't expect that these kings of the Rongdi people would be so straightforward when they started doing things." ”
It can be regarded as a big eye-opener, think about it, what I heard in the past, after the Rong Di people, the scene of not leaving an inch of grass, it is really not a nonsense.
His eyes couldn't help but pass over Mu Lingxuan, and secretly said that this accurate calculator knows what to use to impress the hearts of these greedy and poor ghosts the most!
"Yo, Black King, Step King, what do you mean?" Mu Lingxuan jumped off the horse, flicked his whip and walked to Hei Dage and Ba Bulei, raised his eyebrows and asked, "This tent was purchased by this prince when he entered Beijing this year, let's meet today, in order to show this prince's respect for you two, this is how to put it out to welcome the two kings, why are you dismantling it?" ”
"Are you going to use this tent to light a fire, so let's talk on the floor?"
Hedage instantly petrified, "My immortal God, I grab things on weekdays, and I itch when I see good things, but I forgot that this is the place for today's meeting!" ”
Instinctively, I went to look at Ba Bulei who was standing on the side, this one was more embarrassed than him, with a black face, flushed, and became a standard black and red face, looking a little festive, and said with a pair of big hands, "No less, this is a good thing, it's a pity to burn it......"
Hedag's name was embarrassed, and he hit his stupid brother-in-law upside down, and finally interrupted what he was about to say.
"Well, these wedges are not wedged, we are helping to fix them from scratch!" Hadag touched the beard on the side of his mouth and explained with a forced smile.
This is really a famous black fox on the grassland, he can tell lies as soon as he opens his mouth, and he can still speak without blushing or panting, just like what he said is the truth, and his skills are profound.
"Oh, I see, I have to thank you." Mu Ling smiled implicitly, and stretched out his hand to please, "Then let them continue to fix, let's go in and sit." ”
After that, he walked to the tent first.
When he arrived at the door of the tent, he didn't move again, but turned his face to look at Lin Huaide, who was following closely.
Lin Huaide didn't understand what was going on at first, but soon, he understood what Mu Lingxuan's move meant, and secretly cursed in his heart, "Cunning bad thing!" ’
Under his feet, he took two steps, raised his hand and raised the heavy star felt embroidered peony curtain!
At an angle that everyone couldn't see, the corners of Mu Lingxuan's mouth quickly curled, but when he turned to face everyone, it was back to normal.
Mu Lingxuan pointed to the long mahogany carved table on the right, "The two kings, please take a seat, they were hastily arranged last night, if there is an uncomfortable place, please bear with me." ”
Hei Dage and Ba Bulei and their entourage were dazzled, and they felt that the half-human-high, golden lady's lampstand was so beautiful, and when they twisted their faces, they felt that the inlaid gold bottle on the table was really exquisite!
The soft wool blanket under the feet is too comfortable, and the eight-treasure round candlestick hanging above the head is too gorgeous!
The eyes are not enough, where can you still hear what Mu Lingxuan said?
After these people finished reading the tent that Lin Huaide had carefully arranged according to the prince's specifications, Mu Lingxuan drank a cup of hot milk tea.
The sweet milk tea undoubtedly aroused the cravings in the stomachs of Hei Dage and Ba Bulei, and the two of them sat down unceremoniously and motioned to their subordinates to pour milk tea for themselves.
The milk tea that Mu Lingxuan drank was a little better than Rong Di's rough drinking method, the tea taste was heavy, the milk taste was light, and with an appropriate amount of rock sugar and honey, the taste was not ordinary beauty.
In short, the three major pots they brought were not enough for these two kings to drink!
