Chapter 172: Reunion

Tan Zhirui is not smiling but has excellent intelligence, when he was in Jiankang, he was also high-spirited, and he didn't know how many daughters he had dumped.

Xie Lang has always been good friends with him, and he knows where his change came from.

Tan Zhirui has a younger brother, that brother is five years younger than him, in the place where there is no distinction between wives and concubines in Tanfu, and the back house is chaotic, his younger brother is completely protected and raised by him.

Tan Zhirui is an introverted person, he has no feelings for his superb family members, but he is devoted to his brother.

Five years ago, when Tan Zhirui was transferred to Guangling County as an official, his younger brother traveled thousands of miles to his brother's place to play. Unexpectedly, one day the little boy ran away to the Northern Wei Dynasty and was captured as a slave by a humble noblewoman. In the end, he was besieged and killed as prey by those Xianbei people when they flew "kites". When Tan Zhirui tried his best to find his brother, what he saw was a corpse like a rag with dozens of arrows in his brother's body!

That incident caused Tan Zhirui to go crazy.

Although he is an official in Guangling, a family like them does not care about serious things even when he becomes an official, and no one pays attention to him when he disappears for a few months. So, after Tan Zhirui investigated the cause of his brother's death, he changed his name and surname to come to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and with his outstanding demeanor and handsomeness, he attracted a Xianbei noble girl with the surname of Buliu to fall in love with him.

This humble noble girl is the in-law of the noble girl who killed Tan Zhirui's brother, and is the backstage of the murderer and her family.

Tan Zhirui lurked for half a year, and finally found a chance to take revenge. During a Xianbei safari, he led the enemy's family into the encirclement laid by his friends of Liu Song. And when the enemy asked for help from their Buliu lonely family, he stopped the letter asking for help.

Yes, the one hundred and dozens of people of the big family that was also at its peak in the Northern Wei Dynasty were all killed, and when the Buliu orphan family found out that something was wrong and ran to support it, they were also cut off by Tan Zhirui half of their forces. On that day, the noble girl of the Buliu lonely family, who had devoted herself to him and paid a lot for him, watched Tan Zhirui go away with tears in her eyes, and was so angry that she vomited blood and fainted.

After Tan Zhirui avenged his brother, the whole person became lazy. He can obviously be transferred back to Jiankang at any time. But he has always stayed in this place of Guangling.

Last time, Xie Lang Yangzhou had already expected that the emperor would do it to him again, so. He put some eyeliner next to the emperor.

Afterward. The emperor suddenly decreed. Let Xie Lang come to the Northern Wei Dynasty to negotiate. At that time, although the emperor's move was very sudden, the entire Chen Jun Xie clan did not react. But actually. Just a month before the incident, Xie Lang knew that he contacted Tan Zhirui.

Tan Zhirui responded to Xie Lang's request and sent people to the place where Xie Lang was traveling. So, as soon as the emperor's people on the front foot escorted Xie Lang onto the boat, on the back foot, batch after batch of "Xie Shibalang's followers were very lucky" met Xie Lang, and volunteered to join Xie Lang one by one to listen to him.

……

Ji Ji never expected that they were only four hundred miles away from Guangling City, but they were blocked on the road by the torrential rain.

The downpour of rain and showers of heavy rain lasted for more than ten days at once, causing the hillside to collapse and blocking the official road to Guangling County!

At this time, it was already the middle of August!

Ji Ji and his entourage were blocked by the heavy rain and could not move an inch, plus the official road was no longer passable, just to clear out the official road, according to Xie Guang and others, it would take more than 20 days of effort.

Twenty days! By then, it was already September! The disaster in Ji Ji's memory in which hundreds of clans in Guangling County collectively threw themselves into the river and the people in the city were killed happened in September!

Ji Ji was anxious and chaotic, and Xie Guang did not have a flying pigeon in his hand that could transmit a message to Guangling County, so for a while, she was helpless.

On this day, Ji Ji listened to the sound of the rain outside and suddenly stood up.

She strode to the door and asked Xie Guang and the others to go to the surrounding towns to collect horses and cattle with all their might. At the same time, she also asked people to collect some fire oil and hire people and the like.

Although Xie Guang and the others didn't understand why she had such a move, in the past few years, Ji Ji's intelligence had already conquered everyone, so she didn't hesitate to respond.

……

Gwangneung-gun!

In the blink of an eye, it's mid-September.

That night, Xie Lang was sitting in the garden with Tan Zhirui, listening to the singing of the kabuki and playing chess. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside!

The noise was very loud, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them saw that the fire outside the city was full of fire, and the whole world was like day!

The chess piece in Tan Zhirui's hand slammed to the ground, and just as he quickly stood up, a rush of footsteps came, and in the blink of an eye, a guard shouted in a panic outside: "My lord, my lord, it's a big deal, Guangling County is surrounded by the Northern Wei people!" ”

This is a bit ridiculous, you know, although Guangling County is close to the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is still separated from the border of the Northern Wei Dynasty by several cities. How could there be people from the Northern Wei Dynasty who went deep into the hinterland and came specifically to surround it Guangling County?

Just when Xie Lang and Tan Zhirui hurriedly came to the city wall of Guangling City, they, the county guard of Guangling County and some family patriarchs saw that under the four walls of Guangling County, they were actually full of Northern Wei officers and soldiers holding torches!

As if he recognized Tan Zhirui from afar, a knight of the Northern Wei Dynasty broke out of the crowd, and in a blink of an eye, the knight galloped under the city wall. Looking up at Tan Zhirui, the knight hissed, "Tan Zhirui, do you still recognize me?" ”

This voice is sharp and cold, but it is a woman's voice!

At this moment, everyone on the city wall was shocked, Tan Zhirui looked down at the city wall, and after looking at it for a while, he said coldly: "It turned out to be the seventh lady of the Buliu lonely family, it's been a long time!" ”

Almost as soon as the voice fell, the knightess burst out laughing. She hissed after a burst of laughter: "Tan Zhirui, you deceived me back then, and you also used my name to harm my clansmen and my cousin's family. At that time, I said that one day, I will find you to avenge this blood revenge. How about it, now that you see me, are you sorry and afraid? ”

Tan Zhirui also raised his head and laughed, and his cheerful laughter came out far in the night sky. It's with indifference from the bones. While laughing, he said, "Miss Seven is really a good memory! It's hard for you to endure for so many years, in order to take revenge, you even colluded with my Liu Song officials, it's really exhaustive! "If it weren't for the rebellion of Liu Song officials, how could this group of Northern Wei officers and soldiers go deep into the hinterland without being discovered?

Almost as soon as Tan Zhirui's voice fell, the faces of the surrounding county guards and family patriarchs changed, and they immediately thought of it, yes, if it weren't for the traitors who borrowed the way to these Northern Wei people. How could these Northern Wei people besiege Guangling City without leaking any rumors?

Hear Tan Zhirui's words. The knightess shouted again, "You are right. It was your officials of Liu Song who betrayed you, and your head and this Guangling County are the names of their surrender to my Northern Wei Dynasty! Calling here, the female knight looked at the people of Guangling City who were in a panic. Laughing more and more arrogantly.

Guangling City at this time. It's really a mess.

So many years. Although Guangling County is close to the north, after all, it is still hundreds of miles away from the border of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and anyone here. Du never imagined that one day he would wake up from his sleep and find that the Northern Wei soldiers were coming to the city.

It is precisely because he is defenseless that the military strength of Guangling County is also extremely weak, so he is also proficient in strategy, but his troops are all in the manor far away from Guangling County. There are no soldiers available, and he is so clever that there is nothing he can do!

Under the city, the laughter of the female knight was still coming from one after another, and on the city wall, everyone was already solemnly smiling, listening to wave after wave of reports.

"Report! The four cities in the southeast, northwest, and northwest are all surrounded by officers and soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it is estimated that the other party has about 5,000 soldiers and horses! ”

"Report! All the way to the outside is strictly guarded by the Northern Wei people! ”

"Report! Each family urgently conscripted, and it is estimated that all the troops will not exceed 2,000 people! ”

"Report! The arsenal has less than 30% of the various armaments in stock, and there are many who are old and unusable! ”

"Report! Now the major families in the city have known that the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty are coming to the city, and they are frantically flocking to the four city gates, crying and fleeing out of the city! ”

The sound of the news came one after another, but every news heard in the ears made the faces of the old men present pale.

At this moment, below the city, a Northern Wei general shouted: "Everyone listens!" Not a single bird is allowed to fly out of this Guangling City! On the day the city is broken, General Ben will allow you to rob for three days! ”

In the blink of an eye, the female knight also shouted: "On the day of the city breaking, kill all the people of Guangling City!" I want it to be left without a chicken! ”

Almost as soon as the voices of the two fell, suddenly, tens of thousands of people raised their halberds at the same time and shouted: "Chickens and dogs are not left!" Chickens and dogs don't stay! ”

All of a sudden, in the dark mountains, there were also bursts of echoes of "chickens and dogs don't stay"!

Originally, the people of Guangling City still had illusions, but as soon as the Northern Wei people shouted out, they were suddenly shocked, but in a blink of an eye, the entire Guangling City was crying.

Almost as soon as the female knight's voice fell, Tan Zhirui and Xie Lang's faces changed. It stands to reason that under normal circumstances, if the enemy doesn't give you a way to live, the rest of the people will fight to the death. But this one-size-fits-all truth is not suitable for the southerners since the Wei and Jin dynasties. It can be said that in the past two hundred years, many southerners have been frightened, and when they hear about the war, they can think of either escaping or committing suicide, and they will never rise up!

Seeing the crying of the city, the elders of the clans retreated in a panic to calm the people's hearts, and the officials including the Guangling County Guard were also busy deploying troops to deal with it.

For a while, only Tan Zhirui and Xie Lang were left on the city wall.

Two beautiful men in the wind of the jade tree stood under the light of the burning torches of the hunt, so that the female knights in the city saw that tears came out. She tilted her head back and wept, gritted her teeth and whispered, "Talk wisely! I'll see where you're going this time! ”

On the city wall, Xie Lang inspected for a while and said: "The Northern Wei Dynasty is composed of three forces, I took a look, these three forces should belong to three families, and they are not invulnerable to each other!" ”

Almost as soon as his voice fell, Tan Zhirui's voice came with a wry smile, "But we don't have soldiers and horses, even if the enemy has a flaw, what can we do?" ”

Xie Lang was silent.

At this time, Tan Zhirui said in a dumb voice: "Eighteen Lang, this time I am tired of you, and I am also tired of the fathers and elders of the city!" Although those people didn't say anything just now, the complaints and accusations in their eyes were all in their eyes.

Xie Lang shook his head, he had always been open to life and death, and when he heard this, he smiled lightly, "Life and death have their own fate." This is also the time of my death, and I wonder no one else. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed lightly again, and said in a very gentle tone: "It's a pity that I thought I would be okay at that time, and I didn't leave a few more words for my woman...... Knowing this, I sent ten or eight beautiful men she liked that day, which also made her proud. ”

never expected Xie Lang to say such a thing, although Tan Zhirui was worried, he almost laughed out loud. He laughed and said, "Are you so generous? ”

Seeing that he finally calmed down, Xie Lang smiled and said, "I'm not so generous. She is the only woman I miss in this world, the only woman who cares, I am gone, of course I have to let her read my good for the rest of my life, and I will always cry when I think of me! ”

This is just like what Xie Shibai said, Tan Zhirui couldn't help laughing.

Those people under the city walls, never thought that these two people would be able to talk and laugh at this time. The female knight glared at Tan Zhirui with great hatred, and muttered, "He has always been like this! He always was! "All along, no matter what she does, she will never be able to enter his heart like now! He was like this when she wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law that day, when she begged him so hard when he turned away, and now, when he died, he was still like this!

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, but it was the Guangling County Guard and several officials who went up to the city wall.

Facing them, Xie Lang asked, "Is it not smooth to transfer troops?" ”

Guangling County Shou smiled bitterly: "Xu is in a catastrophe. The largest families in the county have just reached the time of tax collection. All of their tribals rushed to the Zhuangzi below. In today's Guangling County, all the subordinates add up to less than 800 people! ”

The tribes of these families themselves are not as strong as the Northern Wei soldiers, how can these 800 to 5,000 be able to defeat them? No wonder even this Guangling county guard is disheartened!

There has never been a moment when it was so clearly felt that death was approaching, and there was a cry in Guangling City, and the people on the walls turned pale, and then they were talking and laughing in the blink of an eye.

…… If you are certain to die, you will never be able to fall into the bones of this doctor before you die!

Just when everyone on the city wall gave up struggling, and the Northern Wei people under the city wall listened to the cries in the city and laughed, suddenly, behind the Northern Wei people, the mountains and wastelands separated by thousands of steps, a deep and powerful drum sounded!

The drum sounded very suddenly, and it was gradually approaching, and in the blink of an eye, whether it was on or under the city wall, the Hu people were all brushing and quiet, and they turned their heads to look at each other!

Send updates, ask for subscriptions.

A reader asked me about asking for a subscription after a chapter. Hey, it's actually like this, for a few years, I've been used to asking for pink tickets after chapters, and in the past two months, I suddenly found that the pink ticket list has changed, and I found that I couldn't be on the list no matter how I asked for it. But I always feel that after finishing a chapter, if I don't say anything later, it feels very wrong, so I thought, then ask for a subscription. Ha ha.

In addition, there are readers who reflect the problem of too many male supporting characters in this article, how to say it, after opening Mei Gongqing, I have always had a legacy, that is, the story only writes about the hero and heroine, and for myself, I have always remembered the sentence "The late Tang Dynasty poems of the Six Dynasties, a kind of romance I don't know". So when I started this article, I planned to focus on the romantic characters of the Six Dynasties.

Therefore, there are many male supporting characters in Jiaojiao, and they may all be glimpses of the sky, but those Lang Jun, they can become male protagonists in other texts. They have a different kind of elegance created by a different era, they have their bearing and personality, and together they are brilliant in an era! (To be continued......)
