Chapter Eighty-Three: "Brothers"
"No, no, don't be in a hurry to say it, we won't talk about this sister-in-law Lin. I thought of a way, see if you are going to the outside of the city, there are many rebels outside, you can walk on the roof of our building, this area is basically roof to roof, even between different alleys, there is a particularly narrow passage, and some people will build a door panel, you go up......" The old man pointed to the roof.
Walking on the roof is a good way, Mo Longxiang's eyes lit up, and the group followed the old man to the roof.
As the old man said, this place is a slum, the houses are all in the same style, the Shikumen system of the poor in Zhaojia is different from the rich people, although there are ridges from below, but when it comes to the roof, they are mainly flat roofs, only a few windows or places where the face is exposed, and those who have a little spare money will decorate some tiles, which seems to have a tall roof.
However, there will be a wire fence between each house, probably because the old man has ventilated with each family, and several families are standing on the roof of the house and opening the wire fence door of their house.
"Let's go!" Mo Longxiang simply said goodbye to the old man, and ran with the rest of the people.
Every time you walk through a fence, you can hear: "Thank you, Mayor Mo." ”
On the other side, Tan Dake, who had already boarded the boat, was also thanking, and said with a loudspeaker on the boat: "Citizens of Zhaojia, thank you!" Thank you for ......."
Lu Da saw that 'Mo Longxiang' had boarded the boat, turned around and got on his horse, and then turned around and asked the supervisor: "You are from that camp?" ”
As soon as the director of the "Defense Force ......" spoke, he heard Lu Dake say: "Okay, your subordinates are directly responsible for the temporary rebellion department, if you have any objections!" ”
Before those four words could be finished, the bailiffs' guns were already set up against the supervisor.
"Total obedience... Total obedience! Of course, the director couldn't suffer the immediate loss, but after he agreed, Lu Dake's face immediately changed, and he ordered: "Disarm him." Then he stepped forward and said to the rest of the people: "The defense army of the king of Chu was established after His Royal Highness the king of Chu came to Twin Islands, and you stubble soldiers are basically natives of the two islands, you look at Zhaojia, look at these people, these are the people of the king of Chu, are you fighting their people for the king of Chu?" Don't be stupid, you're all being taken advantage of! You must have heard the radio as well, that some people in the Doge's Palace had taken money from foreigners, including this one! ”
Lu Dake pointed to the main pipeline that had just been disarmed and reprimanded: "You say, how much black money did you collect? ”
Of course, the director confiscated any money, even if he shouted: I didn't take any money! It's useless, Lu Dake has already turned the empty "sin" into the "reality" in front of these soldiers, and the reality of the director's loud rebuttal and grievances has also been regarded as a rebuttal.
Immediately, Lu Dake ordered a low-ranking officer of the defense army standing in front of him and said, "I appoint you as a representative to shoot this traitor who collected black money, betrayed the king of Chu, and betrayed the empire." ”
Lu Dake is really a "magician", a few words not only sentenced him to death, calmed the people's anger, but also brought this army down to his side.
The junior officer, with red eyes, raised his gun for a few rounds and easily shut up the supervisor. Not only this junior officer, but the rest of the officers and soldiers were eager to step forward and shoot themselves.
What these officers and soldiers didn't expect was that once they went to shoot their supervisors, then they could only rely on Lu Dake.
Where no one noticed, Wei Zejun watched all this sound coldly. He didn't get on the boat, as an emperor, in Zhaojia, the core area of the prince's power, the most important job is as Mo Longxiang said, spy work.
After watching the play, a telegram was delivered to Wu Peihang.
The content of the telegram: Mo Longxiang actually took King Hua to Christchurch through the culvert, but the stand-in had already boarded the ship in an official capacity, and Lu Dake came forward to escort him, and at this stage, Lu Dake had already rebelled against the King of Chu.
It was a matter of a while for the warship to anchor and leave, and Lu Dake watched the warship go to sea, so he led this team to the city. At this time, Lu Dake no longer has the declining appearance of being bitten by dogs before, but has a posture of salvation.
Lu Dake like this, Wei Zejun is also wondering who is supporting him behind his back.
Hua Wang heard a lot of "thank you, Mayor Mo" along the way, and felt a little psychological, and when he arrived on the roof of a house where no one was, Hua Wang said: "It seems that our Mayor Mo has really done a lot of practical things for Zhaojia!" ”
The yin and yang weirdness in these words, Mo Longxiang naturally heard it, and his footsteps slowed down, and he said: "There are nine heavens, and the heavens are great, but the world still respects those girls who send children, although human beings worship, but the gods are very different......
"Okay, I'm sure of you, not otherwise."
Hua Wang said this, continued to move forward, I don't know if I wanted to miss that step, my feet were crooked, and I fell down, Mo Haige hurriedly held on, only to hear the sound of "click", Hua Wang sweated profusely and said: "My foot is broken!" ”
Mo Longxiang didn't say a word, and carried King Hua on his back.
Although carrying people on their backs, everyone's speed was obviously much faster, but after a while, Lin Hongqiao wanted to change, but was stopped by Li Liang with a look.
However, it was not all smooth, and they also encountered fence gates that did not open. In desperation, the neighbor who was waiting here knocked on the window with a bamboo pole, and asked the residents who slept very sweetly to come to it to open the door.
At the beginning, the old man was right, there were no wide streets, they were all narrow streets, and they passed by stepping on the door panels.
The door panel is also trembling, not to mention, there is a person on his back.
Fortunately, he didn't encounter any danger, and Mo Longxiang walked relatively steadily with King Hua on his back.
I ran on the roof for more than half an hour, and finally arrived at the last alley under the city wall.
After the five of them walked through the wooden planks with the help of the citizens on both sides, they saw everyone kneeling down one after another.
Mo Longxiang hadn't spoken here, but he was talking there, and an old woman said, "We're waiting for you, please save our child!" ”
This group of old people obviously regarded Li Liang, who was standing, as the mayor, and Mo Longxiang, who was carrying people on his back, was ignored.
"Old mother, stand up and say." Because he wanted to speak, Lin Hongqiao stepped forward to replace Mo Longxiang and carry King Hua on his back.
Mo Longxiang asked carefully to know, because this is very close to the north gate of Zhaojia, I don't know where to get the information, saying that the rebels want to open the city gate to lead the rebels outside the city into the city, this time it is like lighting a powder keg, the young people living around here rushed to the north gate with enthusiasm, saying that they wanted to prevent the opening of the city gate. The men in the family went to buy food, and this group of women couldn't resist their children, and after panicking, they learned that Mayor Mo went out of the city on the rooftop, so they gathered on the roof and waited.
This is already the last alley, and after a street out of the alley, you will arrive at the mouth of the tunnel opened by Li Guangya. King Hua's feet also hurt for a long time, and when he encountered such a thing again, Mo Longxiang thought about it for a while, and decided to go downstairs and take a look at King Hua's feet first.
The family found a clean bedroom on the second floor, and if you guessed correctly, it was probably a girl's boudoir.
After the five people entered, King Hua sat down on the bed, maybe Lin Hongqiao was too fast, and King Hua shouted: "Why is this bed so hard!" ”
Li Liang took Lin Feng out of this bedroom and calmed everyone to the first floor so as not to disturb them.
This will have a chance to show Hua Wang's feet, Hua Wang's feet are out, although the swelling is very big, but Lin Hongqiao did not take a thing, he learned some techniques for treating bruises in the temple, while Hua Wang did not pay attention, he suddenly slammed the bones up, a heart-rending pain, and the angry Hua Wang kicked Lin Hongqiao away.
However, after kicking, Hua Wang himself felt that his feet didn't hurt anymore, so he scolded: "Get out!" ”
Lin Hongqiao hurriedly got up, pushed the door and went out.
King Hua tried to twist his foot, and after making sure that it was all right, he turned around, looked at Mo Longxiang, who was a little thoughtful, and said, "Go immediately." ”
"Your Highness, we ran half the city, if it wasn't for the rooftop, we might not have arrived so quickly, and there is still enough time...... I want to ask you that I didn't do anything for Zhaojia, I just said a few words on the radio......"
Hua Wang said impatiently: "Your trick is really good. But remember, you're gone by boat now, don't expose me! My feet are already better, I'll leave right away, don't delay! ”
Mo Longxiang knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Highness, I plan to stay by myself, and you and the rest of the people will leave first." ”
"You're not leaving?" Hua Wang asked.
Mo Longxiang shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I still have to do something for Zhaojia!" ”
"Put away your sour words, you brought me here with a yellow fold, and I don't care?" King Hua rebuked loudly.
Mo Longxiang knelt on both knees and said: "I have lived in the Huangzhou aristocracy since I was a child, and I have been walking in the army for a long time as an adult, and I have never felt the people's various states for a day, what 'water can carry a boat and can overturn a boat' is just from reading books, and I have never really observed the people's feelings, until just now, I didn't know what the people's hearts ......."
"You can control the hearts of the people! You are bold! You have to go! Even if it's to save people and let a few people around you go, you want to buy people's hearts?! Why do you think those 'thank you, Mayor Mo' I don't hear it harshly enough?! King Hua arrogantly denied it.
Mo Longxiang knew that the matter would stop here, and if he mentioned it again, he was fortunate to have escorted all the way, but in the end he was exchanged for a sin.
"You have to know your own position, you saved me this time, and I will also give you a merit, but don't use your merit to ask me to do anything!"
"Minister, that's not what I mean! I just wanted to ......"
King Hua looked at Mo Longxiang who was kneeling on the ground, and said in his mouth: "Okay, we are cousins after all, you don't have to think too much, Your Majesty once said that brothers are of the same heart, and I also want to have a brother." ”
