Chapter 12: The Bloody Night of the Capital (I)

It was cloudy for a long time, but the snow still fell in most of the capital, and the snowflakes were wrapped in the wind and flew around.

"It's snowing." Liu Yu opened the door and walked to the porch, looking at the sky.

"It's snowing late, can you have a drink?" Ding Yingwen smiled and handed him a glass of wine.

The wine was already warm, Liu Yu put it to his lips, the rich aroma of the wine was evaporated, and the entrance was soft. This is the rice wine brought by Ding Yingwen, brewed from millet rice, the degree is not high, and it is the best drink at this time.

"Good wine." The cup was very small, Liu Yu took one sip, and a warm current penetrated his heart.

"Lang Jun slow down, this wine has a lot of stamina." Sunset took the empty cup and put a hooded cape on him.

Liu Yu looked at her bright eyes, smiled and took it, and raised his hand to help her brush a snowflake from her hair.

"Today this wine is very intoxicating, and a certain person is a little too strong to drink, so he went to rest." Someone is still very knowledgeable.

With a bang, the two of them were already hugging each other, lips and teeth intersecting, melting in the snow.

The inner room is as warm as spring, and the best Qingrui charcoal crackles under the burning, and the air still exudes a trace of **after**.

"Da Lang!" Liu Yu is the only son in the family, and sometimes, when the two are alone, Sunset likes to call him that.

"Hmm." The strength of the wine had not yet subsided, and his head was a little dizzy.

"The concubine's life is enough, there is only one regret," Sunset said leisurely, leaning out of the brocade quilt and hugging Liu Yu.

"Don't say it, it's okay." Liu Yu knows what she wants to say, childlessness is a pain that women in any period cannot face.

I heard Ding Yingwen mention that the woman in the Qinglou, in order to prevent pregnancy, will drink some decoction that may permanently harm the body.

Liu Yu sighed secretly, grabbed her head, leaned over and kissed her.

Ding Yingwen came over this time and handed over the payment owed to Liu Yu in the past, and the large boxes containing gold filled the entire wing.

This time when he went back, in addition to carrying the gold, Liu Yu was also going to introduce Sunset to his parents.

For this reason, he brought a digital camera, ready to take some photos and images to show his parents, as for people who can't take them back, Liu Yu's excuse is that the girl is now abroad.

Although I don't know why that thing can take a person's shadow, Sunset quickly adapts to it out of trust in her own Langjun.

Looking at the slightly nervous girl in the painting, kneeling on the ground and facing the camera to meet her in-laws, Liu Yu hopes that this will make her feel at ease.

Liu Yu's hometown Jinling is a second-tier city in the southern province, and has been known as "Zhongwu to assist, Bayi famous capital" since ancient times.

His parents' family lived in a dormitory building built in the 60s, with bare red bricks, stupid and coarse, but extremely sturdy.

A house of less than forty square meters is a bit too small in modern times, Liu Yu stood in his original room, looking at the wall with the award certificate from his childhood, and the various furnishings were basically the same as when he graduated from high school.

"Xiao Yu, what are your plans for this girl?" Mother Liu looked at the photos in the notebook and put down her reading glasses.

"The relationship is good, don't worry, you will definitely talk about marriage as much as possible." Liu Yu and his parents were sloppy.

"It looks pretty good, but I don't know what the temperament is." The focus of Liu's father is whether his son's relationship is harmonious.

"I think it's the same, it's more beautiful than Xiaoling." Liu's mother didn't choose to speak, and Liu's father glanced at her with disgust.

Liu Yu smiled indifferently, and his parents were a little comparative, hoping that their son would find it better.

He was thinking about another thing in his heart, at the end of the year, it was difficult to recruit people, and the opening of the company had to be postponed. The basement was filled with gold, more than five tons. No one is guarding it, so I don't feel at ease.

Forget it, wait until the end of the year to think about these messy things, Liu Yu shook his head, shook off these thoughts, and continued to chat with his parents.

In the palace of the capital, on the main hall of the Daming Palace, the butter candles with the thickness of the child's arm are spread all over the sides, and the bright candle flame illuminates the hall as if it were daytime.

"Your Majesty, please see." The person who spoke pointed to one of the desks, this person's name was Guo Shoujing, who was the water supervisor at the time.

Kublai Khan pushed away the block of the guards in front of him and approached the front of the stage. The powder accumulated on the countertop had been burned out, and the flames were terrifying.

"Sure enough, it is better than the gunpowder made by the Jin people, but unfortunately the southerners don't know it, so it is only used for fire." Kublai Khan nodded, his Hanhuo was already quite fluent.

"What His Majesty said is very true, if you can get the recipe and use it in the earth-shaking thunder, it will be invincible to attack the city and pull out the village." Guo Shoujing is very knowledgeable, and he can see its use at a glance.

"Just as Guo Jianzheng said, this kind of earth-shattering thunder is fired with the Western Regions cannon, I think, no city wall can resist it." The man who spoke, Yisi Mayin, had made military exploits in the first battle of Xiangyang.

The Western Regions Cannon he used, also known as the "Huihui Cannon", was a huge trebuchet that could throw stone projectiles weighing up to 100 catties 250 paces away.

"Ordered someone to find Ding's family, but he didn't dare to hide his secrets." Kublai Khan turned his head and ordered.

"Slave and maid, let's do it." One of the chamberlains replied respectfully.

After receiving the order, Uncle Ding immediately went to find Ding Yingwen.

"What?" Ding Yingwen was taken aback.

He was surprised not that the Great Khan asked for the recipe, but that the chamberlain who came to deliver the decree was not the royal capital eunuch who had always been good friends.

"The royal eunuch also did not know the details at that time." Uncle Ding paused.

The waiter looked very arrogant, and refused to sit down for a while, although he received the money of a thousand guanwen, his face was not overnight.

This matter may be strange, the old man mentioned that Wang Duzhi, and the man did not think so. "A thousand times can't get a smile, and it's obviously not good friends with Wang Duzhi.

If such a person is embarrassed, what relationship does the Ding family have to do with it? Ding Yingwen searched carefully in his mind.

"Don't panic, when will the Liu family kid come back?" When Uncle Ding saw his expression, he knew what he was thinking.

"How many days are left, how can we talk about such things? Besides, his goods are also sold by sea, where did he come from? Ding Yingwen shook his head as he spoke.

"At sea? It's just an excuse, the old man also has some ways over there, and he has found someone to inquire carefully, Guangquan Ming's major port and city shipping divisions have never heard of the Liu family, let alone seen such goods. ”

Unknown origins are not a big deal, but if you get into trouble, it will give an excellent excuse to those who want to attack. The Ding family has been in business for many years, and it is not that they have no enemies.

"When Liu Gongzi comes back, my nephew will go and talk to him." Ding Yingwen has a headache, although Liu Yu is easy-going, he is not a person who is easy to fool.

Uncle Ding looked at him and didn't speak, there were some things he didn't tell Ding Yingwen, and there was a handwritten letter with Wang Duzhi, on which only six words were written: "Things are not harmonious, it is better to let go." ”

In a house outside Miyagi, a figure hurried in.

Above the main hall, three people sat around, one of them was also dressed as an internal servant, a big-bellied businessman on the left was the 'big dog', and a bearded man on the right was the cowardly Xue Baihu.

"Back to the chief, the purpose has arrived." The person who came respectfully saluted and presented a handover note.

"A thousand runs, such a big deal, this Ding family is really rich. Anyway, if it is a reward for you, you will accept it, and how will they reply? The person who was called the chief in charge glanced at the handover note and said lightly.

"The person in charge of the Nading family said that the owner of the goods had not returned, and asked for some time." The messenger thanked him and put the money in his sleeve.

"Well, let's go back to the palace and give the decree, I saw the Great Khan, do you know what to say?" It has only been a few years since the establishment of the Great Yuan, and the people of Dadu are still called the Great Khan.

When the man left, the steward looked back at the other two.

"This matter still has to fall on the Ding family, and what we have to do now is to wait, and we must not startle the snake."

"In that case, I'll go back to the camp first, and I'll talk about it when I'm done." Baihu picked up the felt hat on the table and put it on, got up and went out.

"Nomu Tiel's guy is too violent, don't kill people then, that's a lot of wealth." The Lust-Eyed Merchant shook his head and said.

"Don't worry, he also has a part in this, but this Ding family is too sleek, and the door is wide, so it's not so easy to get in." The manager's tone was a little regretful.

"My manager, you are too anxious, wait for Jian to know that Wang Du, the Ding family still doesn't follow you and me to rub the round and flat?" Thorn suddenly glanced at the manager and laughed.

Liu Yu, who was at a loss to know about these things, was in the imperial capital, the bustling Wangfujing business district, and because of the approaching Spring Festival, the crowd was so crowded that he couldn't walk.

Liu Yu wanted to bring some things to Sunset, two pajamas and one for each person, and bought a lot of underwear or something, thinking that it was snowing, and chose a mink coat with a fur collar. Thinking about the appearance of Sunset wearing these, the corners of Liu Yu's mouth unconsciously appeared with a smile.

Carrying a large bag of things, he hurried and hurried into the city before the gate of the capital was closed. Back in his small courtyard, Liu Yu threw things on the ground, picked up his woman and went into the inner room.

"It seems to be plump again." After some warmth, Liu Yu touched the smooth back of the sunset and said.

"It's not, I've eaten and drunk these days, and people are a lot lazy, look at it, there is some fat around my waist." Sunset complained coquettishly.

"That's good, it's not beautiful if you're skinny." Liu Yu patted the woman's face, some baby fat, it's good to control it.

"Slaves don't care, Da Lang must not dislike the slave family." Sunset just didn't cling and writhed in his arms. provoked Liu Yu's heart for a while, and he turned over and pressed her under him.

After such a toss, Sunset finally said goodbye, but Liu Yu still saw a sly smile flash in her eyes. I was a little annoyed, I didn't eat dinner, and I couldn't keep up, so I had to give up.

"Da Lang!" Sunset looked at Liu Yu contentedly, and his bright eyes were full of autumn waves.

"Hmm." Liu Yu was a little sleepy.

"If you die now, the slave will not be in vain in this life." Sunset leaned her face against Liu Yu's arm and rubbed it gently.

"Here we go again." This aunt is good at everything, but she likes to sigh at every turn, and she is very ruthless, either dead or dead. Liu Yu sighed in his heart, brother is so insecure?

"How can you mention the word death again, and you will have no relatives at home to read?" Liu Yu straightened up and leaned on the back of the bed, resting his head on his right hand.

"Slaves have been taken away since they were young, where can they find their relatives?" Sunset said as she put on her pajamas and got out of bed. She knew Liu Yu's habits and helped him bring him a cigarette and matches.

"It's cold down there, come in and talk." Liu Yu nodded approvingly, and took a puff of cigarette on the match he lit in his hand.

"Do you remember when you were taken captive?" Liu Yu didn't think about the past of Sunset before, but today I mentioned it, and I didn't feel sad to see her, I thought it was a long time ago, so I talked about it as a topic.

"How don't you remember, the slave was six years old at that time, and there was still an eldest brother and a younger sister in the family, the eldest brother was nine years old, and the younger sister was only three years old." Sunset got into bed and leaned on Liu Yu, looking at the light smoke and began to recall.

"My brother's name is 'Zhu'er', and my little sister is called 'Pheasant', when my mother died of illness, my little sister was seriously ill, and my brother took my little sister to see the doctor. The slave was alone at home. After a long time, I didn't see my brother come back, and the slave was scared, so he went to look for it alone. Walked to a remote place, was kidnapped by gangsters, and when he woke up, he was already on a big ship, and the slave and Sister Chaolu knew each other. ”

"What did you call it?" Liu Yu knows that 'Zhu'er' and 'Pheasant'' are all nicknames given by their parents, and the big names of poor families will not be taken until they reach adulthood, that is, when men are crowned, and women will be taken when they are married.

Most poor families may be called for a lifetime by adding a ranking after the surname, such as 'Zhang San', 'Li Si' and so on.

"'Pan'er'" Sunset's voice was gentle, Liu Yu put the cigarette in his mouth, and wiped it on her face with his free hand, and sure enough, it was full of tears.

"'Pan'er', good name, do you remember where your hometown is?" Liu Yu put down the hand that was pillowing his head and hugged the sunset.

"When the slave family was young, the village was called 'Shangying Village', which belonged to the rule of Xiangyang Mansion, and they had been fighting for many years, but they didn't know if they were still there." Xiangyang, the most important stronghold of the Song and Mongolian fronts, where the two sides fought for many years, until the year before last, was captured by the Mongols.

"My old Tarzan went from the army?" In times of war, it is the ordinary people who suffer the most, especially in the places where soldiers are plagued.

"Well, my father died in Ezhou that year." At the time of the Battle of Ezhou, the current Great Khan Kublai Khan was still only a prince, and if it were not for the Great Khan Meng Ge who died in Diaoyu City, the Great Song Dynasty might have perished by then.

"Don't worry, if you have the opportunity, I will definitely take you back to find your relatives, as long as people are still alive, there is no reason to find them." Liu Yu knew that there was not much hope, just to comfort her.

"Slave saved, thank you Dalang." Sunset replied softly, obviously not confident.
