Chapter Eighty-Four: Meeting Nanshan Mansion
Chapter Eighty-Four: Meeting Nanshan Mansion
Where did the Vietnamese army go?
Where are Xiao Hei and Xiao Su?
Where is Boss Yang?
Where are my friends, my colleagues?
What I feared most finally happened. Although I knew in my heart that there would be such a day sooner or later, as a person from the Eastern Wu Kingdom, it was difficult to accept this fact.
With mixed feelings in his heart, Wang Jifei couldn't wait to rush into Shimen Town and kill unscrupulously now, but in the end, reason still prevailed.
From the morning before the sun rises, I stand until noon. Wang Jifei never saw a person who could come out of Shimen Town. The marks of burning axes and chisels on the walls were so clear, and the large unmended holes in the gates silently told him how terrible the battle had been.
Glancing at the banner of the Dongwu royal family that was thrown outside the city gate like rags, Wang Jifei turned around silently, stepped on the Eagle King, and flew straight to Nanshan Mansion.
The Eagle King in the sky flew all the way, and Wang Jifei became more and more silent. Half of Qinglong County has been occupied, and troops with the flag of the Yue Kingdom can be seen everywhere on the wide official road. The burned villages, the burning fields, the blood-stained rivers, and the crying old people and young children stimulated Wang Jifei's blood-red eyes all the time.
Ten miles away is the city of Tongzhou, where the two armies are facing each other, and before Wang Jifei can take a closer look, a sharp arrow in the camp of Yue Guo broke through the air. The meaning of the other party is very clear, get out, roll the farther the better.
This is true of the Yue Kingdom, and the same is true of the Eastern Wu Kingdom, when the two armies are fighting, no one will allow unidentified people to enter the warning range. Wang Jifei had no choice but to command the Eagle King to fly away along the periphery of the two armies.
You can't help if you go down on your own, this war is a contest of strength between two countries, and you can't control it alone, unless you reach the level of the Great Destiny Master.
More than three months ago, the pedestrians on Nanshan Mansion were weaving, cars and horses were like dragons, and the queue at the city gate could be half a mile away. But now the team less than thirty meters long made Wang Jifei wait for more than an hour. Every person and every package must be registered by the officers and soldiers guarding the gate, and their names, ages, where they are going, where they live, and what they are doing, can be asked in every detail.
Wang Jifei was empty, but in order to cover up the existence of the space ring, he deliberately carried the package, and he was interrogated for about five minutes.
Fortunately, this is an extraordinary time, and these military masters did not take more than they wanted, and although the people were a little impatient to wait, they did not make a mistake.
There were few pedestrians on the street, and nearly one-third of the shops along the street were closed, so he picked a rice shop at random to enter, and Wang Jifei bought a hundred catties of white rice in distress. Three taels of gold is nothing to him now. He felt sorry for the woman with two runny children, begging the boss to sell her half a catty of rice, but she only had ten coppers on her body.
A pound of white rice is thirty-two copper, and a hundred pounds are cheaper, as long as three thousand copper, exactly three taels of gold. In the end, the boss also had a conscience and sold half a catty of rice to the mother of two children.
Wang Jifei really couldn't bear to watch the two children grab raw white rice with four black and dirty little hands and stuff it directly into their mouths, and the mother cried while beating the child's back.
Took out twenty catties of white rice and prepared it for the mother and son, at this time, the rice shop owner coughed and said. "Guest officer, I think you are also a rare kind-hearted person, but you can give two or three catties of rice, otherwise you are harming them......"
Seeing the boss's eyes sweeping the group of beggars on the street outside the door, Wang Jifei, who has experienced so many people's sophistication, could not understand what it meant. "Thank you boss for reminding me, it's a pity that this world is not the way of life for well-wishers......" he said, he put away the rice, gave the boss a tael of gold, and asked the boss to help take care of the three of them for ten days and half a month.
As long as it takes ten days and half a month, what will happen after ten days and half a month, he didn't say, the boss didn't ask, and even the woman who kept kowtowing next to him didn't say anything else.
As soon as Wang Jifei turned around and went out, the group of beggars wanted to come around, and they didn't have to guess what they wanted to do. Without waiting for the two strong men with five big and three thick outside the rice shop to come up to relieve the siege, a small snake with a mark of five or six meters long directly appeared next to Wang Jifei.
As soon as the little snake came out, the beggars returned to the side of the road with their heads down and squatted, and kept looking at Wang Jifei from the corner of their eyes until he disappeared into a small alley with a bag of rice.
Half a day later, Wang Jifei sat in a small courtyard of the Divine Capture Hall, and it didn't take long for Yang Wei, who was in the dust, to walk in.
The two who hadn't seen each other for many days hugged each other tightly, and it was very precious to be able to see a friend in this troubled world.
"Brother Yang, let's talk about it, I have been practicing in Qinglong Mountain some time ago, and I just came out of the mountain a few times ago, and I flew all the way, but I didn't expect this to be the case?"
"Ah Fei, you also saw it, I just finished patrolling, and I rushed over as soon as I heard your news. What do you want to know. Yang Wei picked up the water on the table and drank it down. "Forget it, I'll start from the beginning. ”
"It's September 17, and in late June, the Yue Kingdom suddenly increased its troops, and when the two countries confronted each other, I didn't expect the news that Shimen Town was broken. These dogs * day * Yue people actually hid their soldiers in a few mountain kings, but it is ridiculous that these mountain kings are still the first group of people to surrender to the imperial court. Shimen Town was captured by these people......"
"The next Yue Guo poured in like a swarm of rats through that gap. It is a pity that the imperial court is in urgent need of armaments, and the officers and soldiers are usually half-full, and only when they go to the battlefield can they eat ten percent. The people are even more hungry, how do you say this battle will be fought? How can it be fough......t?"
Seeing Yang Wei's face full of indignation, pointing to the northwest direction, and asking loudly into the air, Wang Jifei could probably think of the defeat of the Eastern Wu soldiers into the mountain. "What about those families, they should have a lot of weapons, armor and food, they don't have ......"
Halfway through the question, Wang Jifei saw Yang Wei's angry slap smashing the stone table, so he didn't ask any more. The virtues of these noble families can be guessed without asking, just look at the Wu family in Shimen Town before the war.
The angry Yang Wei didn't speak, and Wang Jifei lost the interest in speaking towards the disgusting things of those families, and looked at Yang Wei's constantly rising and falling chest and fell silent.
"Brother Fei, you're finally here. At this time, Xiao Hei jumped through the moon gate of the courtyard one by one.
"Blackie, what's wrong with your feet? Wang Jifei, who was catching up, hurriedly squatted down and held his right calf.
"Brother Fei, I'm fine, I don't believe you asked Brother Yang. ”
"Ah Fei, don't worry, Xiao Hei's leg is fine. When I went out last month, I was stabbed with a sword, but I didn't hurt my bones. It would be nice to take a break."
Blackie was surprised to see the table shattered into a pile. "How did this table shatter like this, how are you talking here?"
didn't want to embarrass Yang Wei, so Wang Jifei opened his mouth and diverted the topic. "Don't worry about this, I don't have a place to stay, Xiao Hei, arrange a room for me first, get some wine and food. ”
"There are many rooms, go to me. Yang Wei patted his chest and said. "Xiao Hei, your Fei Ge is also back, you can also stay with me, be more lively. ”
Xiao Hei saw that Wang Jifei agreed without refusing.
Yang Wei's home is not far from here, a few minutes away. After entering the door, Yang Wei went to find someone to arrange it first, and Xiao Hei and Wang Jifei sat in the hall and talked about Shimen Town.
"Brother Fei, did you go back to town when you came?"
"No, martial law was in place when I passed by three days ago, and I didn't see a single person come out. Xiao Hei, tell me how Shimen Town was broken, Yang Baihu, Chen Zhutou and the others? and Xiao Su has come back? By the way, did my brother Yin Qiang in Qingshi Village come to look for you?"
Xiao Hei slowly lifted his right foot, knocked on the handle of the chair, sighed, and said in frustration. "There is no news from Brother Yin and Xiao Su. The town of Shimen was besieged as early as the end of June. At the beginning of July, two of the three major families closed their doors, one of them actually joined the inside and outside, and secretly let the people of Yue Guo in while it was dark, and the fire lit up half of the sky that night, and the sound of killing, crying, and explosions could be heard dozens of miles away, and I estimated that at least thirty or forty thousand people lost their lives. ”
"It's the local Murong family, right?
"That's right, it's the Murong family who eats inside and out. At that time, as soon as we saw that we couldn't do anything, Yang Baihu took us to occupy the southwest gate and escaped. The Lord of the Hundred Households saw that the people inside had almost escaped, and blew up the city gate. But now it seems that the imperial court can't fight back, hey......"
"It turns out that the gate is Uncle Yang's handiwork, what about them, and what about the mayor and Captain Li?"
"Brother Fei, that Murong family is really not a thing. said that he was going to give food, weapons, and a banquet for the mayor, which made Mayor Zhu very happy. As a result, the mayor of the town never returned, and later heard that the Murong family took the mayor as a certificate of surrender and dedicated it to the general of the Vietnamese army. Speaking of this, Xiao Hei slapped the table and scolded. "This group of pigs and dogs is not as good as the Murong family, don't let Lao Tzu touch it. ”
Hearing that the mayor of the town was so miserable, Wang Jifei was also very angry, but he still opened his mouth to persuade: "Xiao Hei, let's talk about revenge later, you tell Uncle Yang and them first, as well as Captain Li." ”
"I'll tell you. At this time, Yang Wei walked in and sat on a chair with his butt, and because he pressed the chair too hard, it squeaked. "My uncle and they were fine, they had some minor injuries, and after they recovered, they went out again, and I haven't seen them for almost a month now. Lieutenant Li, he died, and he fought to the death with two good men from the regiment, and my uncle waited at the gate of the city for more than half an hour, and he didn't see a single garrison sergeant come out. Each of them is a well-known man. ”
