After the catastrophe, there will be a great epidemic, and there will be chaos, especially the news of Chang'an's ground movement, Luoyang from the high-level nobles to the ordinary people almost everyone has a piece of news about Chang'an, a little better, such as the saint when the ground is moving, the light envelops the entire imperial city, so that the imperial city is safe; The worse ones are now in ruins.

These news made Jiang Wei embarrassed, she can now receive letters from the capital almost every day, Zhao Heng often did not receive a reply from herself, and new letters had already been sent, why didn't she know that Chang'an had been ruined? There are even rumors that there is an earthquake in Chang'an, and Luoyang will also be an earthquake in a few days, and the Queen Mother and Empress have already left Luoyang.

Jiang Changhui and Jiang Wei frowned at the same time when they heard this news, Jiang Wei pondered for a while and proposed to Jiang Changhui: "Auntie, let's take a break on the Luoshui embankment." ”

Jiang Changhui knew her niece's thoughts after a little hesitation, and she smiled: "It's been boring for so long, it's okay to go out for a walk." "There are so many rumors outside, it is inevitable that people will be panicked, they go to the embankment to show their faces to calm people's hearts, Chang'an has a ground movement, Luoyang can no longer be chaotic, otherwise the grain road will be cut off and Daqin will be in trouble."

The Queen Mother and the Queen are going to the embankment to relax, this is not a trivial matter, King Ji has been busy for several days and just went home to make up for sleep, and when he woke up, he heard the news, and he originally had a little bit of pajamas, but now he disappeared, "Go to the embankment to relax?" King Ji leaned on the bed and asked, and Lin Ruren waited for him to rinse his mouth and clean his face.

"Yes, the news from the palace says that the Queen Mother and the Queen want to go to the Luo River to enjoy the scenery." King Ji's chamberlain, this is the first time in the world, who doesn't know that the Queen Mother has always disliked traveling, and she has never seen her out of the palace when her leg was not injured before.

King Ji groaned slightly, "You go and arrange it, and I'll go over in a while." ”

The waiter came down in response.

Lin Ruren said distressedly: "Lang Jun, have you just rested for a while and are you going to be busy with official business again?" ”

King Ji smiled but said nothing.

"It's really spoking me out these days." Lin Ruren snuggled into his arms and said glutinously: "I cried several times when Lang Jun was away. ”

King Ji looked down at his concubine, and sure enough, his eyes were still a little swollen, how could she not cry when she encountered this kind of thing with her personality? But she didn't cry, she just thought about getting in touch with Chang'an, and ordered to do so many things, King Ji's hand gently rubbed the hair of his concubine, and sure enough, a fake is a fake, no matter how you pretend to be it, it's not real.

"Lang Jun, you have to pay attention to your body, if there is really something moving in Luoyang, let's run away quickly, right?" Lin Ruren was really worried about the safety of her and Lang Jun.

"Don't worry, Luoyang will be fine." King Ji patted her on the shoulder and motioned for her to get up, the hour was almost up, and it was time to take care of official business.

Lin Ruren knew the temper of King Ji of Dao Dao, so he didn't dare to be petty at this time, and obediently changed his clothes for him and waited for him to go out after eating.

Jiang Wei and Jiang Changhui did not alarm too many people on this trip, many people waited for them to arrive at the riverside water pavilion, and after the water pavilion was surrounded by the forbidden army, they realized that the road turned out to be the queen mother and the queen traveling, the people of Luoyang City tried their best to tiptoe to see the figure of the queen mother and the queen in the barrier, but the barrier was slightly higher, and everyone could only see a vague figure, but even so everyone felt satisfied, after all, the queen and the queen mother were less common than the emperor, and Mrs. Jiang was in Luoyang for more than a year or two, and every time she saw her car, I've never seen her face outside.

"It doesn't seem to be any different than before." Jiang Changhui sat by the window and looked at the river, and the scenery in front of him overlapped with that of 20 years.

"Auntie is talking about when you came to the palace with the first emperor?" Jiang asked slightly.

"Yes, the water and scenery have not changed, but the people have changed." Jiang Changhui looked at Luohe, who was still flowing and unhappy, and looked a little dazed, she hadn't married Zhao Min when she came to Luoyang at that time, Zhao Min and An Qing were still a couple, but now Zhao Min was lying on the bed without any consciousness at all, and An Qing was locked up in a small courtyard and life was better than death.

"How so? The water that my aunt saw at that time had already flowed into the sea, and the trees next to the embankment had been replanted many times, and my aunt had not changed. Jiang said with a smile.

"You!" Jiang Changhui nodded his niece's forehead.

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and the two of them looked at the people at the same time, most of them would avoid traveling, the only exception was that there was an emergency, the comer rode a horse and galloped past, because they did not raise dust because they had sprinkled water in advance, Jiang Changhui and Jiang Wei saw clearly at the same time that the person who came was really dressed as a spy from the Zhichong Mansion, their faces became solemn at the same time, and at the same time they turned their heads to look in a certain direction, and a green smoke rose from the air.

Beacon Smoke! Jiang Wei and Jiang Changhui's faces changed greatly at the same time, is there a rogue attacking the city?

It was not only Jiang Wei and Jiang Changhui who saw the smoke, but even the people who came to see the excitement saw it, countless people panicked, and the attendants immediately stepped forward and said, "The queen mother and queen, please return to the palace immediately." ”

Jiang Changhui shook his head, pointed to the panicked people, and said, "You go and guide everyone to leave safely, don't let people trample and crowd, let's wait for everyone to leave before leaving." ”

"Promise." The attendant descended.

Jiang Wei frowned, how could he suddenly light a beacon smoke, who would invade? Roving bandits?

As soon as King Ji left the house, he saw the beacon smoke lit inside, he immediately turned over his horse and galloped through the city, rushing all the way to the city gate, "What's the matter?" Why light the beacon smoke? ”

"Back to the king, we sent a spy to report that a group of about five cavalry was galloping towards Luoyang, and they said that it was judged that there should be about 10,000 people behind." Lieutenant Zuo Guoyi of Zhichong Mansion reported to King Ji that defending the city was the business of Zhichong Mansion, and as soon as he received the news, he immediately let people light the beacon smoke.

"Is the military situation true? Who's coming? But the rogues? King Ji asked.

"The identity of the person who came is not known, but those five hundred cavalrymen are dressed in the armor of our Folding Mansion, and if it weren't for the fact that the brothers came forward to inquire and were detained by them, and the other person was shot and killed when he tried to escape, we would not have received any news now." Zuo Guoyi said that he was Zhao Yuan's confidant and guard, and Zhao Yuan personally escorted the grain and grass into Beijing and left him in Luoyang.

King Ji's face turned pale, "Where did these thieves come from?" ”

"It looks like it's coming from the south." Lieutenant Zuo Guoyi said.

"South-south-" King Ji pondered whether the person who came was suitable for his identity, how could there be a sergeant from the Zhichong Mansion, could it be the Duke of Junyang County?

"King, the thieves are coming soon, and I ask you to order a certain family to go out of the city to face the battle!" The sound of the urn sounded, and a tower-like man in full armor stood in front of King Ji to ask for battle, and he was still carrying two big hammers in his hands.

King Ji groaned slightly, "Right Guoyi, Lieutenant, you and take a hundred people to test the truth of those who come down first." ”

"Promise!" Lieutenant Youguo Yi blushed and led a group of people to ride out of the city.

King Ji turned to Zuo Guoyi and said, "If you don't know anything about military affairs, Zuo Commander has been on the battlefield for a long time, and you have to rely on Zuo Commander for more guidance." ”

"The king has won the award, and a certain family must swear to protect Luoyang to the death." Captain Zuo respectfully bowed his hand, turned around and ordered the sergeant on the city wall: "Crossbow archers prepare to cover!" ”

The city gate under the city tower creaked open, the right captain rode a horse and carried a meteor hammer to rush across the drawbridge and moat, and rode straight out of the outer city wall, followed by hundreds of cavalry, these are Zhao Yuan's elite soldiers, one by one raised fat and strong, and often followed Zhao Yuan out of the city to sweep the Liukou in the past, in the past few years, Zhao Yuan has been guarding Jiang Changhui every step of the way, these people have already held their breath, seeing that there is an enemy invasion one by one red-eyed to kill the out, they have not smelled blood for several years.

At this time, the lord Bo panted and rushed over, "The king is not good, someone wants to get out of the city!" ”

King Ji's face turned cold, "Who is it?" ”

The lord didn't dare to speak, and Zhao Yuan had an epiphany that he was afraid that he would not be able to get out of the relationship with himself, "Say it, forgive you for not being guilty." ”

"It's Lin Liulang." The main thin voice whispered.

"Lin Liulang? Which Lin Rokuro? King Ji couldn't find which Lin family Liulang in his mind for a while, and there were several officials surnamed Lin he knew.

Lord Bo was dumbfounded, didn't he say that Lin Ruren was King Ji's favorite concubine? Such a humble birth can still get the status of a widow within a year of entering the palace, even Princess Ji has to temporarily avoid the edge, why does King Ji not even know the younger brother of Lin Ruren?

Or did the chamberlain beside King Ji whisper to remind King Ji, he knew too well why the king liked Lin Ruren so much, but now that the deities are here, how could the king go to a fake again? And also an inferior fake.

King Ji didn't raise his eyebrows, "Pass on my order, strictly prohibit the people from walking on the streets, and anyone who takes advantage of the fire to rob and disturb the hearts of the army will be killed!" ”

Lord Bo responded solemnly and hurried to the troublesome city wall.

Luoyang has a total of more than ten city walls, usually open to visitors from all over the city to enter the city, but now the smoke together, the soldiers defending the city immediately dismissed the people and closed the city gates, those who were at the city gate some of the legs pulled out of the city and ran out of the city, there are enemy troops attacking the city and staying in the city is not looking for death? There are also people who run inside, they are in a hurry to go back to see their relatives and ask them not to go out. Soon after the city wall was closed, many people with their families walked to the city gate and asked to open the city gate and leave.

In wartime, if there is no order from the master general, whoever dares to open the city gate without permission is a capital crime! No sergeant was willing to take the risk. But Luoyang has been the second largest city in Daqin since Taizu in addition to Chang'an, there is no shortage of dignitaries, and there is a relative who is thrown out of the house is a big official in the capital whose position is so high that it frightens people to death, and the servants of these people lead the collar of the pawn, spitting saliva and asking them to open the city gate, otherwise they will not be able to eat and walk around. One of the ones who made the most trouble was Lin Liulang, who was known as King Ji's brother-in-law.

The pawn at the gate of the city bowed his head to make amends, and on the other hand, he slandered in his heart, Princess Ji is obviously the girl of the Wang family, when did she come to the Lin family again? It's really something that can't be put on the table!

"Da-da-" There was a hurried sound of horses' hooves, "the enemy is at first seen, the people in the city will immediately return home, and they will not be allowed to walk on the streets, and those who disturb the hearts of our army will be killed!" "The person who came was dressed in a bright light armor that was enough to make people blind, proving their identity, it was the current Saint Guard's Tiger and Leopard Battalion Sergeant!

Many people with vision began to quietly retreat back, the tiger and leopard battalion is the emperor's most confidant guard, and it is also the only elite army in Daqin that can be comparable to the sword soldiers of Anxi Mo, and there is no unfinished task when leaving the tiger and leopard battalion, even if the whole army is annihilated. Such an elite army record is enough to be proud of the entire Great Qin, but at the same time they are also the most proud and unreasonable army, even if the power of the foreign relatives An family was to the extreme, they also suffered in the tiger and leopard camp, it is said that they all took human lives, and they did not let the first emperor move a single hair of the tiger and leopard camp.

"At present, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers attacking the city, and there are only a thousand soldiers in my city, so how can I fight against tens of thousands of elite soldiers? Why don't you let us out of the city and find our way out! A shrill voice uttered the news that caused an uproar.

The already agitated crowd was even more panicked when they heard the news, and many people rushed to the city gates, banging on the walls and crying to leave.

Tang Ben's eyes narrowed dangerously, "Who are you!" He looked at the young man who spoke, who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in brocade clothes, with a pale face and unruly manners, not a son of a family, he immediately made a judgment, but why was he so clear about the military situation?

"I'm King Ji's brother-in-law Lin—" The young man straightened his chest and just wanted to introduce his identity.

"Whoosh-" A sharp arrow pierced the air and shot into the young man's throat, the young man felt a sharp pain in his throat, he reached out and subconsciously touched his throat, but touched a hard wooden pole, this is an arrow? The thought flashed through his mind, his eyes bulged, he threw his head to the ground, and there were no other thoughts.

"Death to those who disturb the morale of the army." A gloomy voice came.

Tang Ben raised his eyes and looked, "General Su." Tang Ben bowed his hand to the person who came, this person was the leader of King Ji's personal guard.

"General Tang." General Su politely bowed his hand to Tang Ben, "The king has an order to strictly prohibit the people from walking on the street, and anyone who takes advantage of the fire to rob and disturb the hearts of the army will be killed!" ”

General Su's murderous words made the people present unstable one by one, especially when they saw the people who were still alive before lying on the ground without a bare eye, bleeding all over the ground, some of the timid were so frightened that they fell to the ground, and some of them fainted with fright.

Tang Ben didn't say much when he saw King Ji's personal guards coming, since King Ji had helped solve the problem, he didn't bother to ask, anyway, this was King Ji's family matter, and he had to go back to protect the Queen Mother and the Queen.

It is said that after the right captain led a hundred people out of the city, he met a team of cavalry with the same armor, and when the two teams met, the right captain flashed surprise in his eyes, "Bah! Abrupt thief! Get your name in! Your grandfather and I will not kill unknown generals! ”

The person who came sneered, "I am under the command of the Duke of Junyang County, Zhao Heng Xiao'er rebelled against his father and killed his brother, God will not tolerate it, if you are a loyal minister of Great Qin, you will quickly welcome the county prince into the city and enter the king of Beijing together!" ”

The right lieutenant rolled his bull's eye, "Fuck your shit!" "He is Zhao Yuan's henchman, when Zhao Heng captured Zhao Min, he also intervened and entered the king of Beijing Qin? I'll send you down to King Qin! The right lieutenant is very smashing at the person who came with a pair of meteor hammers.

The man was not to be outdone, he raised his fork to meet him, and the two of them stood back and forth for more than ten years, regardless of victory or defeat, and the right lieutenant Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed, "Happy!" Good strength! "This life is brave and strong, but his skills are extremely flexible, and he has seen that he has encountered an opponent's madness, and a pair of meteor hammers make it impermeable.

The people who came couldn't help but cry in their hearts, he was the upper part of the Junyang County Mansion, because of his strong martial arts, he had been valued by the county government, and he heard that the county government sent a pioneer to explore the way, so he volunteered to come, but he didn't want to meet such an opponent at the beginning. Although his martial arts skills are high, he doesn't have much practical experience, and after a while, the right lieutenant smashed a hammer to his chest, and his chest was deeply deflated, and he turned over and fell off the horse.

The first battle of the right lieutenant was even more excited, screaming and sprinting into the cavalry, the guards around him couldn't stop him and hurriedly rode his horse to follow, this time the formation that was originally arranged according to the wings of the wild goose was scattered all of a sudden, and the opponent's formation was also scattered by the right captain, and the two sides entered a chaotic battle. This right lieutenant is the first person under Zhao Yuan in terms of martial arts and strength, but Zhao Yuan basically only let him wait for the army to go up before letting him out, because this person only knows martial arts and does not know how to cooperate, this is the first time he has been a pioneer general, how can he not be excited? The whole person is like being beaten with chicken blood. On the city wall, Captain Zuo's face was twisted, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to prepare a horn, and once the situation was almost the same, he immediately blew the horn to let them come back, otherwise this person would probably rush towards the army!

"The right captain is a strong general!" King Ji was amazed at the city wall, his guards quietly walked in and whispered a few words in his ear, King Ji's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled at the guards: "Good job." ”

"He's just brave and unscrupulous! If you lose the war as early as he did! Zuo Duwei was so angry that he scolded, he suddenly stared at him, and shouted quickly: "Quick! Blow the trumpet to get them back! ”

The pawn next to him hurriedly raised the horn and blew it sullenly.

The right lieutenant is on the rise, this person smashed the leader of the general with a hammer and then smashed five or six people off the horse in one breath, those cavalry are also strictly trained, want to besiege him but were stopped by the people around him, these people are in the sea of swords and guns to cooperate with the tacit understanding, those inexperienced cavalry that is the opponent.

"Woo-" The muffled horn sounded, and the right lieutenant was stunned for a moment, and then hated to think that it must be Zuo Chen's ghost again, and he would not let him kill him!

"Captain, let's go back quickly!" One of the guards pulled a gun and picked off a human.

"You go, I'll break off!" The right lieutenant roared, and the double hammer suddenly flew out of his hand, and with a few "bangs", the four of them fell to the ground.

This scene shocked many people, and many cavalrymen did not dare to step forward.

"Haha-you still want to rebel because you don't have eggs? Bah! After spitting at them, the right lieutenant swaggered away.

But then he felt that something was wrong, and as soon as he lowered his body, the Meteor Hammer swung back, and a sharp arrow galloped towards his back, "Huh! He snorted sullenly, and was hit by an arrow under his right shoulder, fortunately there was armor to block it, otherwise this arrow would definitely pierce his heart at once, and the right lieutenant turned around in pain, and saw a gloomy middle-aged man slowly putting down the bow and arrow in his hand, obviously the arrow was shot by the middle-aged man, and there was a lot of dust rolling behind the middle-aged man, obviously the army pressed in.

"Right Captain!" The soldiers around him hurriedly escorted him backwards.

As soon as the left captain sent the sergeant to pick them up saw them enter the outer city wall, he hurriedly carried the right captain into the city, and the sergeant defending the city immediately pulled up the drawbridge and closed the city gate.

"Lao Wen, you have nothing to do, right?" Captain Zuo rushed down the tower.

"Hey! A little injury is nothing! Zuo Duwei opened his mouth and smiled indifferently, but he stopped laughing abruptly in the middle of the laughter, and the whole person rushed forward, if it wasn't for others pulling him, he would have fallen to the ground with his face on the ground.

"What's wrong with you, Lao Wen!" Zuo Duwei hurriedly went to look at his wound and found that his wound was not very deep, he lowered his head and sniffed, "Someone!" Call the Medic! This arrow is poisonous! ”

"Let's wash his wound first."

As soon as Rourou Nuonuo heard the woman's voice, everyone was stunned, Zuo Duwei was furious, "Who put the woman in-" His roar stopped abruptly when he saw the person coming, and he almost choked to death because he stopped too quickly, and he didn't dare to cough in front of the visitor, and his whole old face turned red.

The soldiers looked stupidly at the veiled girl in front of them, who was she?

Jiang Wei couldn't bear to look at it, turned around and walked towards the city wall.

King Ji hurriedly came down after receiving the news, "Queen, why are you here?" ”

"I'll just come and have a look." Jiang Wei smiled apologetically at King Ji under the veil, "Don't worry about me, I'll go back right away." "She just didn't feel comfortable coming over and taking a look.

King Ji smiled bitterly, "The queen is too dangerous here. ”

"Haven't they rushed up yet?" Jiang Wei wrote lightly, this kind of courage made many soldiers who did not dare to look up at the queen secretly admire, and everyone subconsciously straightened their waists to behave themselves in front of the queen.

Zuo Duwei settled his old friend and hurriedly caught up to apologize to Jiang Wei, but Jiang Wei stopped him, "It stands to reason that I shouldn't have come, I just caused trouble for you when I came, Zuo Duwei scolded right." ”

Zuo Duwei smiled bitterly: "Queen, I-"

Jiang Wei pointed at those who were on the city wall, "What do they want to do if they don't attack the city right now?" ”

King Ji and Zuo Duwei's attention also returned to the city, there have been a lot of people under the city one after another, looking at the scout who guessed wrong, there should be about 10,000 people, looking at the front There are still people holding crossbows, the two of them looked solemn, Zuo Duwei sneered: "Even the crossbow dare to be private, this Junyang County Duke is obviously anti-minded." ”

"This is the equipment of the Zhichong Mansion in Xiyang County, right?" Jiang asked with a slight tilt of his head.

"Yes." Zuo Duwei's face was heavy, "If those people in Zhichong Mansion hadn't rebelled with him, I'm afraid they would have been more than lucky." ”

"Queen!" Tang Ben listened to the queen's order to deal with the turmoil at the city gate and began to move weapons to the city wall, but in a blink of an eye, he heard that the queen had actually gone to the city gate, and a cold sweat broke out on his back, and he galloped all the way without even caring about the horse, "Here-"

"It's dangerous here, I'll go back right away." Jiang Wei is as good as a runner.

Jiang Wei's abnormal cooperation made Tang Ben very entangled, compared to Wulang, the queen is really a very good talker, provided that she is not so bold! If she dares to go up the city wall, isn't she afraid of accidents? Tang Ben thought that if the queen was injured, it would be the consequence of being frightened and being known by Gorou - Tang Ben fought a cold war.

At this time, an official suddenly shouted: "It's broken! Will there be a problem with the grain in Luokoucang? ”

Jiang Wei looked at him curiously.

King Ji frowned slightly, "Luokoucang is not close to here, I don't think the Duke of Junyang County will go there." "His goal is clearly Luoyang.

"But will it set fire to the grain?" The official asked worriedly.

Hearing him say this, many people were also worried, "He doesn't have that much time." Zuo Duwei said coldly, "Together with the beacon fire, Chang'an will be able to know the Tao by tonight at the latest, and we will hold on for two days and one night at most, which is enough for Chang'an reinforcements to come." ”

Jiang Wei secretly thought in his heart, it would be good if it was in Guanzhong here, there are many Zhechong mansions near Chang'an, not as rare as Luoyang, no wonder Zhao Fengxiang will set the capital of Chang'an instead of Luoyang, the traffic is convenient but people are not safe.

"Under Wu Zijing, I begged to see King Ji." At this time, a loud male voice came from the city.

Jiang Wei saw a middle-aged man standing in front of the outer wall and shouted, and the sergeant waiting at the outer wall waited solemnly with a bow, but the person's face did not change.

"Wu Zijing? Isn't it the first strategist under the Duke of Junyang County? What did he come to do? There was a lot of talk.

At this time, there was a commotion in the army outside the city, and a behemoth was pushed out, and the officials on the city wall couldn't believe their eyes, "Bed crossbow!" ”

"How can they have a bed crossbow!"

"How could such a powerful weapon of the country be in their hands!" Countless people shouted in dismay.

Jiang Wei silently looked at the siege weapon bed crossbow, this Junyang County Duke seemed to be very well prepared, but she also had the same doubts, how did they get this bed crossbow? This is not a crossbow, a bed crossbow is made by professional craftsmen, and not all Zhichong Prefecture will be equipped, and it is only in a few important cities that this kind of weapon is available.

King Ji looked at Wu Zijing for a while and ordered, "Let him come in." ”

The sergeant on the outer city wall put down a basket, Wu Zijing sat alone and calmly sat on the bamboo basket and was pulled up by someone, and then was pulled up to the wall, and was led by the sergeant to see King Ji after being searched.

The author has something to say: the beacon fire traveled about 99 miles in the Western Han Dynasty at about one time, and one mile is equivalent to today's 325 meters.
