Chapter 106: Luck
Behind every person whose country is ruined is a string of blood and tears, and those who are pampered and well-fed, are even more at a loss, and it is more difficult than ordinary people.
is used to living a privileged life of being served by others, and suddenly there is nothing, and it is not easy to persevere.
Fanzi went south, and the villain's parents were killed. Xianggong can avenge the villain, and the villain is also willing to be a cow and a horse!"
"You are strong-minded, loyal and benevolent, but there are not many young people like you."
Wang Song nodded and said, "Fanzi is cruel and unkind, and he will be punished by heaven." Whoever invades my Great Song Dynasty and mutilates my Song people, this official will definitely not show mercy to my subordinates, so as to comfort the souls of thousands of Song people. ”
Deng Wu said embarrassedly: "Xianggong, the villain's tea is shoddy, which makes you laugh."
"Cranky, what's there to laugh at!"
Wang Song Zhengse said: "Killing the enemy to serve the country and restoring the old land rely on the real men who shed blood on the battlefield, not the scholars who talk about poetry and lyrics, and are good at eating and drinking, so why be ashamed of yourself!"
"Xianggong, the villain has been taught!"
Deng Wu's face was half red, and he said solemnly on the side: "The villain is willing to follow Xianggong, kill more thieves, and restore the great rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty."
"When winter comes, the people outside the city will be resettled, so the construction of this city is also a major event, for the country and the people. Brothers perform their own duties, so that they can unite and make a difference. ”
Wang Song Zhengse said: "Tens of thousands of brothers in my loyal and righteous army will definitely be able to drive out the Tartars, smash the Yellow Dragon, and let the people live a good life, Deng Wu, you can rest assured."
Deng Wu was convinced, and bowed solemnly: "Thank you Xianggong, villain!"
Liu Xingping also said in fear: "Xianggong, the villain's small skills make Xianggong smile."
"Don't be a soldier, it's not against you."
Wang Song looked at Liu Xingping for a moment, and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, I see that you are thin and weak, and you can't do rough work, so in the future, you will follow the official and go to the mansion to do some idle things, and you also have a place to stay."
Liu Xingping was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked: "The villain thanks Xianggong for his success, the villain will go back and clean up, and he will go to the city to find Xianggong tomorrow."
Wang Song sighed softly. A homeless teenager like Liu Xingping has encountered wars, broken families, and displaced people, and the world does not know what he does. Only by repelling the Jin people as soon as possible can the people live a good life.
It's just that in this world, there are constant killings, traitors in the DPRK and China are in charge, local officials are inferior officials, and the people want to live a good life, so it is not easy to talk about.
Liu Xingping pushed open the broken door and searched around in the broken house. It had been a few days since he moved into the city, and Liu Xingping found that his personal jade pendant was missing, which was the only relic left to him by his parents, and he naturally wanted to find it back.
At this time, it was already twilight, the moon had risen, the faint moonlight penetrated through the window, and the broken house was hazy, Liu Xingping finally found the jade pendant in the crack of the blue brick under the straw pile when he was sleeping, he grabbed the lost item, and couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart.
Liu Xingping was about to leave, when there was a sudden noise of footsteps and talking outside, obviously someone was coming this way.
Liu Xingping looked through the broken window and saw five or six men coming this way, looking at the clothes of these people, they should not be the poor people in the shantytown.
Liu Xingping tiptoed up, walked quickly to the corner of the wall, gently removed a wooden plank, climbed out of the hole behind the plank, and then moved the wooden board from the outside to cover the hole and restore the original state.
Liu Xingping came out and hid himself in the waist-deep dead grass next to the wall, not daring to make any sound.
The door creaked, and apparently someone had come in, and then the house lit up, and a deep man's voice rang out:
"Wang Hu, look around, there must be no outsiders!"
The man named Wang Hu looked around casually, and said, "Big brother, don't worry, I've been staying here for the past few days, and a beggar who lives here alone has also been killed by me." Look, this shabby place where birds don't poop is the farthest away from the city wall, who wants to live there?"
Liu Xingping broke out in a cold sweat on his head. He secretly rejoiced that if he had lived here, he might have been poisoned.
Another man also said: "Wang Hu is right. The two of us have been here for the past few days, this house used to be occupied, but moved away, and no one has been here in the past few days!"
"Big brother" nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Bao will take two people to guard, and the rest will rest for a while."
The group sat down, and after a while, Wang Hu broke the silence and asked, "Big brother, what did you say about this surnamed Liu, and what he promised us, is it a trap?"
"He's not going to play any tricks."
"Big brother" sneered: "The surname Liu is a good gambler, and he likes to play in the tile, sit and eat in the sky, after a long time, his silver has already been spent, don't promise us, where does he get the silver, how to be happy?"
"To be honest, the ones surnamed Liu are all good goods."
The eldest brother's voice changed, and he continued: "The Jurchens also began to imitate the earth-shattering thunder of the Song people in Nanjing, but the power of the explosion was not great, and it was too far from the Song people. The one surnamed Liu gave it well, one blow up and one accurate, and it was very powerful. If there are four or five hundred, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Song people to build the city wall, and it is useless to build it, because the workshop for making soil and cement was destroyed, and Wang Song also died. ”
Wang Hu said excitedly: "Yes, when Wang Song came out to inspect, our brother threw these earth-shattering thunderbolts over, no matter how good his ability is, it is useless, and he will be blown up to the sky." Saibawang", I think he will soon become a "dead overlord"! ”
Liu Xingping was sweating profusely, and he couldn't imagine that these people could actually get earth-shaking thunder from the city and use it to kill Wang Xianggong. These people are really despicable and shameless, and they will not change their dead nature.
It sounds like this guy surnamed Liu should be a sergeant in the Loyal Army, or he has colluded with the ghosts in the Loyal Army, this person can not only get the earth-shattering thunder, but also be transported out of the city, it seems that his rank in the Loyal Army is not low.
"Wang Hu is right! The loyal and righteous army surrounded and suppressed the cottage in all directions, and Taiyuan City was guarded so strictly, how can we survive, it is not easy to get meat tickets. Fanzi is willing to give money, let's do our best, kill Wang Song, and life on the mountain is better. ”
"What is said is that in these years, if you have milk, you are a mother, and human life is like a grass. As long as there is food and drink, who cares what to do!"
The bandits talked a lot, and their voices couldn't help but get louder, and the eldest brother hurriedly spoke out to stop them.
"Be quiet, take a break, Wang Hu be on guard, the other party may arrive soon."
The eldest brother gave the order to go down, and everyone dispersed.
The eldest brother and the others stopped talking, and the room fell silent, and time passed in the silence of everyone.
Liu Xingping held his breath, pricked up his ears, and was waiting for restlessness when the door creaked, and a bandit slipped in gently.
"Big brother, the other party is here, and now they are outside."
"Bring people in."
The eldest brother was in good spirits, and the bandits went out and welcomed the visitor into the house.
The eldest brother greeted him and said in a low voice: "Brother Liu, why are you here now, our brother has been waiting for more than an hour, and I thought that you would not come, so I would be happy."
A familiar voice sounded, and the tone was quite dissatisfied, Liu Xingping just couldn't remember who this person was.
"The Loyal and Righteous Army has strict military discipline, and you can't just say it. I finally found an opportunity to get out of the city. If it weren't for the money, I wouldn't have bothered to do this business. Did you bring the gold?"
The eldest brother nodded, grabbed a money bag from his waist, threw it over, and said with a smile: "Brother, here is 100 taels of gold, as a fixed money, after the earth-shaking thunder gets it, I will pay the other half."
Liu Xingping was secretly surprised, as soon as he made a move, it was 100 taels of gold, and it seemed that the amount these people bought was not small.
The man surnamed Liu opened the money bag, looked at it carefully, nodded, and handed over a bag.
"These are five earth-shattering thunderbolts, and I carry them with me. Tomorrow night, someone will bring you what you want, and when the time comes, you will receive it, and give him the remaining half of the money, remember?"
The eldest brother nodded, and the man surnamed Liu opened the door and quickly disappeared into the night.
"Big brother, the god surnamed Liu is mysterious and secretive, and he looks arrogant, which is really unbearable. If he swallows our gold, won't he be beaten with chickens and eggs?"
In the dark, Wang Hu asked dissatisfiedly.
"What the surname Liu looks like is none of our business, as long as he can get the earth-shattering thunder. Withdraw the tiles first, and come back tomorrow. ”
The crowd left, and the room fell silent.
Liu Xingping hid in the dark, did not dare to move, and waited until all the people had left, then he crept out of the grass, got on the path, and left quickly.
Liu Xingping went around in a big circle, came to the earth cement workshop, and nested there for a night. The guards saw him pitiful and told him to stay in the house so that he would not be cold.
It's not summer, and the temperature at night is close to freezing, so it's naturally very cold.
Liu Xingping didn't dare to tell the sergeants in the cement workshop, who knew if they were with the moths.
Early the next morning, Liu Xingping, who had not slept all night, was waiting at the south city gate, and finally waited for the city gate to open, and he couldn't wait to run in.
Wang Song got up early and was rinsing his mouth with salt in the yard. It has been three years since he came to this era, and he has gradually become familiar with the lifestyle of this era.
Even if he can develop toothpaste, the packaging tube of toothpaste will not be able to solve it for a while. Speaking of which, tooth powder with a metal shell may be more suitable for this era.
"Yang Zaixing, why didn't you see Niu Gao and Yelu Geng?"
Yang Jin and Wang Yan guarded the three passes of Shiling, Jiao Wentong and Meng De were responsible for the defense and security of Taiyuan City, and Zhang Xian dispatched from them. Niu Gao and Yelu were busy training the cavalry, and they didn't know that they had gone there again early in the morning.
"Xianggong, Yelu Gen said that the cavalry needs to be combated, Niu Gao and Yelu Gen went out to Xishan to practice on the basis of going out to suppress bandits, and they can only come back in the afternoon."
Wang Song nodded. There are many thieves entrenched on the western mountain, and some of them are so angry that they have to be eliminated to make the people feel at ease.
Niu Gao is a well-known archer in the army, easy-going, and soldiers like to train with him. Yelu Gan was an excellent horseman, and he was the best instructor in the cavalry training in the army.
"Who's making noise outside early in the morning?"
Hearing the noise outside, Wang Song frowned.
Liu Xingping ran in in a panic, knelt down on one knee as soon as they met, gasped and said, "Xianggong, the villain has something important to report!"
Wang Song saw that his face was covered with sweat, black and white, and said with a smile: "Liu Xingping, you go over, wash your face first, let's have breakfast together, and talk about it slowly if you have something."
The door was closed, and Wang Song and Liu Xingping were talking in the room. The guards were on duty outside, Yang Zaixing was puzzled, the two of them were alone, this dirty teenager wouldn't be the golden man who assassinated Wang Song, right?
Yang Zaixing took a few steps forward and was about to knock on the door, but the sound of the tea cup falling to the ground sounded inside, and then Wang Song's angry roar came out.
"Yang Zaixing, go quickly and call Zhang Xian to me. Immediately!"
Yang Zaixing was shocked, quickly agreed, turned around and ran out.
