Chapter 82: Silent Night
Shang Ying's three arrows frightened the county lieutenant of Zhangtai. I didn't think much about it, I just listened to the sound of arrows and counted, and after a few clicks, in front of the army, there seemed to be a row of feather arrows, neatly aligned.
In the Zhangtai army, the faces of the generals changed abruptly.
Above the city, the defenders were dumbfounded, and they didn't want this person who fell from the sky to have such combat power. Immediately, there were cheers and cheers.
Third Uncle Wen looked at Shang Ying, who was calm and relaxed, and couldn't help but move in his heart.
"In this way, it should be delayed for another two days." Seeing that there was no sound in the Zhangtai army, Shang Ying said lightly, Next, the Zhangtai County Lieutenant will definitely ask for a letter, and it will take at least two days to come and go.
Throwing the bow and arrow in his hand into his arms, he said to Third Uncle Wen: "Take advantage of these two days to strictly defend the city." Two days later, it was an uphill battle. ”
After speaking, everyone was solemn.
Looking past Third Uncle Wen and looking at a strong man with a dark face behind him, Shang Ying suddenly spoke: "You are Lu Dayong?" ”
Lu Dayong was stunned, and for some reason he suddenly called his name, because Cao Ren Shangyong was the benefactor who saved the city, so he bowed his head and said respectfully: "Yes, Engong." ”
"Although it is sad that a loved one has passed away, if it is cynical because of this, it is even more stupid if it is not done by the eldest husband." He has found out the matter of Dongqiu, although the rebellion was planned by the third uncle, but he did not think of entering the city to burn and plunder, let alone kill the court officials. This qiē was naturally done by the strong man behind him.
Shang Ying's words made Lu Dayong's body stiffen, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak. Glancing at him lightly, Shang Ying immediately got out of the city and headed towards the county mansion.
Prefectural Command, west side of the main house.
The swishing sky, the quiet mansion, is so strange that there is no trace of life. Shang Ying stood outside the door, muttered for a moment, and raised his hand to knock lightly.
After a long time, there was a creak, and the door gradually opened. A woman peeked out of it, her mouth and nose covered with a white cloth, her eyes were blank, and her haggard face could be faintly seen.
"Imperial Doctor Yun?" Shang Ying didn't expect her to be like this, and was surprised for a while.
Yun Xiang looked up at Shang Ying slightly, and his out-of-focus eyes returned to his senses slightly, but he didn't speak.
"I have saved Hang Yushi, and now I am on my way to Pushan to dispatch medicinal materials." Seeing that she was silent, Shang Ying still spoke first.
When Yun Xiang heard this, a look of relief appeared in his eyes, obviously relieved, and then the plain hand holding the door panel slowly clasped tightly, "I can't go out yet." She said with her eyes down.
In the house, in addition to the second girl, there were several other people who fell ill one after another. There are no doctors in Dongqiu County now, and she can't watch patients die.
Shang Ying looked at the determined demeanor of the person in front of him, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, you have to be more careful yourself." "After leaving the county magistrate's office, I went to various places to inspect the armament situation, and finally returned to the city to guard.
When the guards saw Shang Ying coming, they politely gave way. Only Lu Dayong was half-lying in the corner of the wall with a weed in his mouth, Shang Ying didn't care, just glanced at it, and turned to the Zhangtai camp outside the city.
The first cover of the night.
The clouds in the dark sky dispersed, revealing Lang Lang and the stars, and the cool breeze passed. Shang Ying held his hands behind his back and looked at the military tent in front of him, a star bonfire had been lit. The Zhang Taijun did withdraw as Shang Ying expected.
"If Engong doesn't give up, can you have a few glasses of wine with you?" The voice behind him suddenly sounded, and Uncle Wen held a jar of wine and two pottery bowls in one hand, and walked up to the city.
Shang Ying glanced at the military tent in front of him, frowned slightly, and was about to open his mouth to refuse. Third Uncle Wen smiled and said, "Now it's guarded by them, so I can't miss it for a while." Although the words were light, the third uncle's eyes were full of irresistible firmness. Shang Ying is clear, and his jaw is good.
On top of the castle, two people sat on the ground.
The third uncle said with a smile while pouring wine: "In the countryside, there is no good wine. Home-brewed coarse barley, please don't mind. After speaking, the yellowish liquor filled the pottery bowl, and in the dark night, it glowed with a faint fluorescence.
Shang Ying smiled slightly, picked up the wine bowl, and said, "It's okay." "One bite of the stomach, sure enough, it was spicy and choked, and after half a moment, the heat in the abdomen suddenly rose.
"Haha, how? Although it is not as warm and mellow as fine wine, it also has a different taste, right? The third uncle laughed, and also took a sip of the wine bowl, and took a sip of wine, he looked at the little bonfire in the distance, embellished under the black curtain, and the insects chirped, which was quiet and serene.
"If it weren't for the soldiers coming to the city, it would be very comfortable." With a slightly drunken meaning, the third uncle said with a smile. Shang Ying was silent, and he took another bite of the bowl, and his movements were very leisurely.
Looking at his appearance of drinking comfortably, the third uncle's smile gradually condensed on his lips, "Does Engong know that there was once a person who could drink wantonly in this critical situation under the soldiers approaching the city?" ”
"Who?"
"General Xuanwu, Shang Yi."
After a pause, Shang Ying raised his eyes and looked at Third Uncle Wen, who was solemn, and said, "Third Uncle, if you have something to say, just say it." ”
"What is the relationship between Engong and General Xuanwu? Why is the battle flag of the Black Armor in the hands of Eun Gong? "After General Xuanwu was killed in battle, the Black Armor Army was immediately dismissed by the imperial court, and the whereabouts of the battle flag were unknown, and many people speculated that the last battle was plundered by the Beidi people.
Uncle Wen's question couldn't help but provoke the surrounding defenders, and even Lu Dayong in the corner couldn't help but straighten up, this confusion was not only imprinted in the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of Zhangtai from the moment the battle flag was hung, but also made the defenders of Dongqiu extremely curious.
"Xuanwu Gong is the father of the family." Gently placing the wine bowl on the ground, Shang Ying's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he said. The six-character words exploded through everyone like thunder, and Lu Dayong's eyes widened.
This is really shocking, because for some unknown reasons, he was hidden in the snow, and no one knew that General Xuanwu had a son.
Compared with the surprise of others, Third Uncle Wen stroked his palm and said, "Sure enough...... You are indeed the son of General Shang, you really look like ......"
"The third uncle knows his father?"
"I once worked as a secretary under the general's account." His eyebrows narrowed slightly, and the vague back hidden in his heart was aroused, "If the general is alive, which round will Beidi deceive ......me like this" sighed lightly, and he said lonely.
Shang Ying nodded, raised the wine bowl and took a big drink, and then threw it, and with a bang, the ground was full of debris.
"The eldest boy should defend his family and the country, and one day, he will let Beidi not dare to offend my Da Chu again!" Although the tone is light, it is loud, which makes people awe-inspired.
"Well...... Eun Gong. At this time, Lu Dayong's majestic voice came from the corner, Shang Ying looked at it, and saw him kneeling on the ground and knocking his head on the ground, "Engong, I was wrong!" ”
In the daytime, Shang Ying's words were still in his ears, and at that time he still disdained what Shang Ying said, thinking that he could say such things without the pain of bereavement, and only then did he learn about his life experience, and he felt ashamed.
"I really shouldn't have acted recklessly, I should be fully responsible for the current situation......" Now the father and the old folk in this city are facing life and death danger, and until just now he still did not realize that he was wrong.
"Brother Dayong, there is also our fault, right...... It's us who hurt everyone. Lu Dayong kowtowed and apologized, which caused the shame of the other defenders for a while, and with a sound, he knelt on the ground.
"What's the use of kneeling me? If you want to kneel, go and kneel to your countrymen. Shang Ying scolded.
At this time, a young man climbed up to the city in a panic and said in a panic: "Third uncle! Oh no! Something happened! ”
