Chapter 571: The World and the Earth and the North (Part II)
Tan'er suddenly shouted, so that everyone in the courtyard was alarmed, Yunzhu and Jin'er ran down from the side building, and in the room next to it, Xiaochan, who was still in confinement, also walked out with Xing'er. Ning Xi ran this way with a snap, fell in the yard, and then got up again, looking confused.
"What's wrong...... Yun Zhu ran over and picked up Ning Xi, patting the dust on his body.
"Go to the battlefield ......"
"Don't make a mess, go back! Xiaochan, tell you not to get out of bed......"
In Ning Yi's shouting, in the room, the newborn child cried wow, and more commotion was still outside, Su Wending and the others also ran to the gate of the courtyard and looked this way. Tan'er was pressed on the door by Ning Yi, and just said, "Xianggong is going north, and he is going to the battlefield." Hearing this, the blood on the faces of Yunzhu and the others suddenly faded, and only Jin'er hesitated and said, "This time...... Can you not go......" After all, she knew that she was a concubine, but when Tan'er was there, she didn't say much, she just looked at Ning Yi directly.
"I'm here to run errands, not to go to the battlefield......"
In Ning Yi's defense, a voice came from the gate of the courtyard: "Second sister, I'm going too." We are here for the country and the people, and you shouldn't stop your brother-in-law. It was Su Wenfang who spoke. Before he finished speaking, Su Tan'er turned her head suddenly: "Shut up, you are going to have a child at home, and your younger brother and sister are three months pregnant!" β
Su Wenfang raised his head: "There is a small family." It is the duty of a man to protect his family and defend the country, and it is a good thing for me to go north with my brother-in-law! In the past, how dare he talk to Su Tan'er like this.
Ning Yi waved his hand and shouted, "You shut up for me." β
Su Wenfang was a little aggrieved: "Brother-in-law ......" And beside him, the woman who was recently diagnosed as pregnant pulled his sleeve. Her face was red and white for a while, she looked at Ning Yi, and then at her husband Su Wenfang, her eyes were complicated for a while, and she didn't make a sound, and when she got to the courtyard, Ning Yi defended a few more words, and on the side of the courtyard gate, the crying suddenly sounded, and then there was a choked voice from Su Wending's wife asking: "You, are you going too?" β
"Men defend their families and defend the country! These things are not for you women to talk about, so put away the weeping little daughter's face for me. Otherwise, I won't clean you up......"
Then the cry was contagious. It rang out wider.
The corners of Ning Yi's eyes jumped wildly, and he suddenly rushed to the gate of the courtyard over there: "Shut up for me!" What's going on now! It's just a little bit of a walk north, crying what a cry! I hope your husband dies! β
He has absolute majesty in this home. As soon as these harsh words came out. The surrounding family members were frightened and restrained. Wen Dingwen Fang looked up proudly: "That's right, who said that it would die, you girls ......"
"Wen Ding, Wen Fang, you also shut up for me!" Ning Yi pointed at them. "Let them cry! How can you not make people cry! Crying for you is worrying about you, and I have you in my heart! I remember this when I see that...... What to clean up her, see if your second sister doesn't clean up you! β
Ning Yi's indiscriminate reprimand was definitely an inconsistent and two-faced act, but it was difficult for everyone to say anything. After he finished scolding, he took a sip, looked around, and his tone was really stern.
"If the family wants to go out to do things, it is right to worry, but your second sister thinks too much, it's not so dangerous! Didn't dozens of me kill Liangshan in the past? We are only doing logistics on the periphery of the battlefield and will not actually go to the battlefield. This is to make you feel relieved to tell you the truth, the Jurchens are powerful, and I don't face to face with them, what are you afraid of! β
After he finished speaking, he paused slightly: "But it doesn't matter what we're going to do!" The Jurchens are coming, and we are all going to meet the enemy! Your husband and brother, in Jiangning City, used to be a bunch of gentlemen who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun! That guy is still a bit of a sissy now...... But they're men now! Standing upright! If you have children, you can tell them who their father is and what happened to them! You can be proud and I'll take care of bringing them back safely! When the time comes, they can be a pillar and support a big family! β
"That's it!" Ning Yi raised his hand, "There is not much time, I have to leave in the next two days, if we want to be together, we will be together, if you have anything to say, if you want to cry to show them, go back and cry well." Don't mess around with a bunch of people here, it's the same as before, how can it be so exaggerated! Go back! I still have my own people to coax......"
He sighed, turned around, and looked at a few people in the courtyard: "Okay, if you want to cry to me, let's go to the house and cry by ourselves, okay?" β
Jin'er wiped her eyes and sniffed: "You'll be fine, so I won't cry." A smile appeared on her face, but the tears were still falling, Ning Yi reluctantly walked over, grabbed her body, and then pulled several people back to the room......
*************
Dai County North Gate Street. The sound of fighting in the city was heard from all directions. Wanyan Xiyin rode a war horse, his arm pressed on the hilt of the sword.
The assassination came suddenly.
The sudden condensation of murderous aura seemed to thin the skylight, blocking the sound, and the silent edge with a terrible killing intent suddenly shot out from a small building on the side of the road that had collapsed most of the time, and when everyone reacted, it had already shot straight in front of Yan Xiyin's war horse, and the edge was cut down in the air.
Among Yan Xiyin's personal guards, one of them had already shot arrows from the side and back, and the other threw spears, but at that moment, everyone's reaction didn't seem to be able to catch up with the speed of the assassination, and the person in the air shouted sharply with the sharp split: "Wow-" The terrible and strange voice was like the cry of a night crow.
Wanyan Xiyin's body roared and spread out in the air, and on the streets in the afternoon, the war horse man stood up, and a ball of sunlight seemed to explode in mid-air. After Yan Xiyin's "ha", he drew his sword and swung it, and the golden sword of King Yuan brought up a golden light, colliding with the terrible breath of death in the air.
The attacking assassin was slashed and flown away, but it was a small, ugly dwarf with a weapon like a knife and a sickle. Razor-sharp. He rolled on the ground a few times, and just got to his feet, the guns were already there.
"Ahh
He shouted, his figure flew back, arrows pierced his shoulders, spears followed, he swung his knife and slashed, and in a moment he was cornered in the ruins by the roadside, and several spears pierced his body. Almost picked him up entirely. He held the sickle in his hand, looked at Wan Yan Xiyin, blood came out of his mouth, and he was still screaming "ah-". But then. The strange cry was gone.
The dwarf was of short stature. The strength is not enough, but he has been practicing martial arts, and he has practiced the way of assassination to the peak. I only hope to kill the general with a single blow. Just miss a hit, and you're dead.
Wanyan Xiyin rode on a horse and looked at the corpse: "It's a green forest man from the Wu Dynasty, he has good skills, and after breaking the city, hang him on the city gate." β
He put away his heavy sword, and the guards took the order.
On the third day of the eighth month, no matter what, on this afternoon, the blade of the assassination of the Green Forest people of the Wu Dynasty was handed to the high-ranking generals of the Jin State for the first time. It's just that the identity of this assassin is not known to many people for a while.
Soon after, the south gate of Dai County was completely captured by the Jurchens, and the massacre of the city began. And this qiΔ that happened in the north was just a small prelude to the southern invasion of the Jin people. Soon after, they swept down and entered the ancient city of Xinzhou......
***************
Although she subconsciously resisted Ning Yi's northward appearance, when it really came to an end, there was no more choice for a woman to do except cry and worry.
As for Ning Yi, although he once had the idea that even if the country was ruined, as long as he was in a safe corner, it had been overturned at this time, and when things really pressed over, he had no more choices to choose. In the end, I can only comfort the most important family members around me with the greatest patience.
In any case, the ease and peace of the past year, from the moment Tan'er cried, was indeed cut off by something. Looking back at this time, I can suddenly feel the preciousness and happiness that accompanies that kind of relaxation and leisure.
He hadn't even had time to choose a name for his and Xiaochan's child......
The sun was setting, and there was no dinner in the house yet, so Ning Yi and Tan'er went to the nearby street for a walk. There is a small river running through the city near the courtyard, there is a stone bridge on the small river, there are not many pedestrians around, the autumn sun shines on the leaves falling in the river, watching the boat under the canopy pass under the stone bridge, Tan'er takes his hand. Not far away, there are many guards and family members who follow.
"I was ...... I want a simpler day. Tan'er smiled, "It's good to be like Jiang Ning, you don't have to go out and always bring a lot of people, for fear that others will call." You can walk leisurely, leisurely look at the scenery, Xianggong, do you remember, Jiangning, there is also such a bridge near home, sometimes when you come back, I will meet you there...... I saw it the first time I moved here, and I thought to myself, I'm going to take a walk here on the bridge when the sun goes down, and I see you coming from the other side of the bridge......"
After the matter of Zhu Ji and Ning Yi's body became bigger and bigger, the family had to bring guards and bodyguards when they went out, and most of them took a carriage when they went home, and the opportunity to walk outside was almost none. Ning Yi lowered his head, while Tan'er shook his head.
"I also know what you have to do, Xianggong, and I support you in everything. But there is only one point, I don't understand in my heart, the things of the world are done by the people of the world, why ...... Xianggong has so much sense of urgency in your heart, just like this time, if you stay in the capital, you can obviously do it, the efficiency will definitely be poor, but it will be a little worse. When I was at home, in front of Yunzhu and them, I didn't dare to ask you like this, but I didn't understand......"
Ning Yi held her hand tightly, and after a moment of silence, he sighed and muttered, "I want to go and see the battlefield......"
"Huh?" Tan'er turned her head to look at him.
Ning Yi smiled and looked at each other, his eyes clear: "Do you know how long Pharmacist Guo resisted before Yanjing City was broken?" β
Tan'er obviously didn't understand why he was saying this.
"He resisted for five hours, and fought evenly with Wanyan Zongwang for five hours, if there is no change, no one stabs him in the back, he may even defeat Wanyan Zongwang." Ning Yi continued, "We have arranged for someone by Pharmacist Guo's side, and we don't have Cheng DΓΉ who can sway him or kill him, but we can know the original appearance of the whole thing." Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren withdrew from the battlefield and wanted to surrender, but Guo Yaoshi really wanted to win, after this defeat, he returned to Yanjing, if he defended the city, he could also defend it for a period of time, but he surrendered immediately, do you know what this means? β
"What?" Tan'er asked, but she probably didn't care at all.
"Since Zhang Jue's death, the issue of surrender has become indifferent to him. If nothing further bad happened, he could fight, but because the two brothers decided to surrender and could not change, he knew immediately that there was no point in fighting. From...... It may be that after Zhang Jue's death, he made it clear in his heart that he was not optimistic about the Wu Dynasty. β
Ning Yi smiled: "In addition, as soon as the war began, the one in the palace was ready to crown Pharmacist Guo as the King of Yan, what does this mean?" β
Tan'er's eyes were puzzled, Ning Yi paused, and then continued: "Everyone in the court probably saw it, the one in the palace...... Scared, scared. Of course, he may not be able to find out himself, but he rushed to the doctor, and before Guo Yaoshi could win, he directly sealed the king of Yan, he said that he was a daughter to buy bones, but what about other people? Without this precedent, what should the Western Army of Shizhen Xixia do, and tell the seed master how they will explain. He was scared, and the chips in his hand were about to be put up...... And after the one in the palace, Tong Guan directly threw away Taiyuan and returned to Beijing, when he was about to come back, it is estimated that Yanmen Pass and Yanjing City have not been broken......"
Tan'er was silent for a moment: "They ......"
"The emperor in the palace, the minister in charge of the army, and the generals on the front line of the border pass ......" Ning Yi smiled, "They all don't believe that the Wu Dynasty can win." Oh, at least by this time, they have all become the most competent prophets. Well, in the mouth, you can say that singing and dancing are leveling, all kinds of bastard things, in everyone's hearts, there are still some ......"
Sensing the meaning revealed in Ning Yi's mouth, Tan'er didn't know what to say for a while. Ning Yi held her hand.
"Of course, things are not as bad as you think, a country, no matter how it collapses, there can be a period of delay, but in the smallest probability, it is indeed possible for them to kill all the way, break the capital, or even destroy the entire Wu Dynasty in a few years or more than ten years. When the time comes, everyone may not be able to escape. He paused, "This possibility, after all, is there." β
"The only people I care about are you, after all, these people in the family." Ning Yi took her hand, looked into her eyes and smiled, "There are tens of millions of people in this world, I hope they can live well." But to be honest, if things can't be undone, even if tens of millions of people die in front of me, I can come back and live a good life. But if the Jin soldiers really break Bianliang, or break Jiangning, and chase us with nowhere to escape, what will I do when it really falls on your heads? β
"It's just that I can't do anything, but I can do it now, how can I completely pin your safety on such an unreliable group of people?" He bent Tan'er's fingers one by one, clenched his fist, and then wrapped it in his palm, the woman's hand was not big, at this time, the figure of his wife in front of him seemed to be small, he laughed, "So I'm going to the battlefield to see ......"
From beginning to end, Ning Yi is a person who firmly believes in people's efforts and abilities, people have things they are good at, and things they are not good at, but if they are willing to put in hard work, what they are good at can accommodate what they are not good at, so he also has to go to the front line of the battlefield to see, listen and feel. Just because they don't want to put their cherished things in the hands of others, people always have to put in their own efforts.
The woman hugged the man's body, and the setting sun shone through the silhouette of the autumn leaves, merging the two figures into one. The summer thunder has passed, and this is the last warmth in early autumn. Next, there is the icy slaughter, and the boiling river of blood.
On the fourth day of the eighth month, he had made arrangements for the affairs of his house for the whole day, and at the same time had already given orders to the bamboo mark to the north. In the afternoon, he also met with his teacher, and in the evening of the same day, Ning Yi said goodbye to the Prime Minister and everyone in his family, and left Bianliang City, which was still peaceful and shining with thousands of lights. Set off for the ......
*************
To the north, Shi Jin and the others crossed the city of Xinzhou, and the chaotic, cruel, bloody and barren scene of the war was presented before their eyes, and then there were countless enemy armies...... (To be continued......)
