Chapter 705: Warm Up
Chang Yu and Su Chenghuang drank tea under the big banyan tree in the backyard and chatted about their parents, while Su Guoer and Linglong gave Aunt Su a hand in the kitchen, whispering and laughing, and secretly looked at the two under the big banyan tree outside the door from time to time.
A few family members were sprinkling water outside to clean the mules and horses, and their faces were also beaming, but their eyes always glanced at the two people chatting at the door of the inner courtyard: "Look at the ones they are carrying knives, they must be the guards of the head of the house, do you guess they have killed anyone?" ”。
"Nonsense, the head of our family is a general who leads the troops and kills countless enemies, how can his subordinates be weak, you see these two people are murderous, especially the young I don't dare to look at him, the cold heart must have killed a lot of people."
"The water outside the city is surrounded by Tartars, and my wife and children can't get in if they want to......" Qiao Sanxiu hasn't seen his wife and children for a long time, although he knows that he is safe in the Red Women's Army, but he even misses.
Song Luoyu has no worries, always fighting, killing, and killing: "Master Qiao, have you ever been on the battlefield?" Qiao Sanxiu shook his head: "The battlefield is different from the rivers and lakes fighting, thousands of troops and horses rush to hug each other, no matter how high the kung fu is, it is in vain, the emphasis is on teamwork and combat, and it takes time to accumulate exercises to be able to go into battle, otherwise it is to send people to the head, I am still shallow with the factory supervisor, just a personal servant."
"Then according to what you say, only Wu Zhong has been on the battlefield among the guards?" Song Luoyu raised his eyebrows, and Qiao Sanxiu nodded: "He is not only a personal servant but also the commander of the Black Wolf Battalion, not only with excellent martial arts, but also the first person in the East Factory, but also a fierce general on the battlefield."
"He's so powerful" A bright light flashed in Song Luoyu's eyes: "I can't see that this stupid big man is not only the first person in Dongchang, but also the first ...... in the army."
cough cough, Qiao Sanxiu hurriedly waved his hand and smiled slightly: "It is recognized that he is the number one master in Dongchang, but he can only be in the army...... In terms of marching and fighting, fighting on the battlefield, not to mention anything else, only a few commanders under our Dongchang command have overshadowed him."
"Who is the number one general in the army?" asked Song Luoyu curiously.
"Tu Yuan and Ji Jike, one of them is born with divine power, and the other is like a god in marksmanship, the two should be equal, but the two have never fought each other, and no one knows which is higher or lower............"
As he was talking, he heard Chang Yu in the inner courtyard shouting, and it turned out that the meal had been prepared to greet him for dinner.
There is a table under the big banyan tree, a few common dishes, everyone sits together simple and warm, Chang Yu wanted to drink some wine with Su Chenghuang, but he was injured, and replaced the wine with tea, but Song Luoyu, the heroine of the female middle school, toasted Su Chenghuang with Qiao Sanxiu.
Song Luoyu and Qiao Sanxiu already understood that this was Chang Yu's private residence at this time, but it was not surprising that many powerful prisoners in the palace had private houses outside, and even raised wives and children, but ...... Su Guo'er obviously liked the factory master very much, but it was even more obvious that they were not like that, and they didn't even know the identity of the factory master.
This little girl is afraid that she will be uncomfortable in the future, Song Luoyu secretly looked at Chang Yu and then at the little apple, and felt very sorry, the young and handsome man of the factory is really a rare dragon and phoenix, but it is a pity that he is a eunuch.
"Master Qiao, do you still like my house?" During the chat, Chang Yu asked lightly, Qiao Sanxiu complimented him again and again, but he didn't expect Chang Yu to change his words: "If you like to go back and wait for your sister-in-law and Heling to return to Beijing, you can stay here."
"Then how can it, don't you dare to disturb the adults" Qiao Sanxiu waved his hand hurriedly, Chang Yu smiled slightly: "There must be a place to stay in the capital, it is inconvenient to rent a house, it costs a lot of money to buy a house, and my house is empty and empty, so it is good to come and be a companion for Uncle Su."
Chang Yu said this, Su Chenghuang's family of three also responded enthusiastically, Qiao Sanxiu was very grateful and bowed to Chang Yu: "Thank you, thank you, thank you."
"My lord, can you also leave a room for the lowly position, the lowly job has no place to stay in the capital, so you can't always live in the yamen" Song Luoyu didn't open his mouth outside and came.
"Okay" Chang Yu readily agreed: "But you two have to keep it a secret, otherwise those boys will have to live in the house, then I really can't live in the house."
Song Luoyu and Qiao Sanxiu nodded and looked at each other and smiled, knowing in their hearts that Chang Yu was not worried that he would not be able to live, but that the secret of this place was too ostentatious to attract the attention of people with intentions, and let the two of them stay in it just to guard.
Chang Yu, who ate a simple family banquet, was extremely relaxed and satisfied, and his nerves were tense all the time when he fought wits and courage with the enemy, and only now would he let go of everything and enjoy a rare moment of leisure.
After dinner, Chang Yu walked around with Su Chenghuang and Qiao Sanxiu in the courtyard, and even pulled weeds and hoeed the ground, while Linglong chatted with Aunt Su, and Little Apple learned that Song Luoyu was her daughter and pulled her to learn kung fu......
Looking at a large abandoned stone trough by the wall, Qiao Sanxiu tried it when it weighed a thousand catties, and said with a smile that this thing could only be moved by Tu Yuan, and turned back to give him to practice his strength, Chang Yu said: "Yes, I still want to get a few fish and keep them inside."
"If the head of the family wants to raise fish, how many big water tanks does our family have......" Su Chenghuang took over the conversation next to him: "Ming'er Xiaolao'er will catch a few for you and raise them, and you will satisfy your hunger during the New Year."
"That dare to be kind" Chang Yu smiled slightly, and looked up at the two monkeys playing in Zhiya: "Uncle Su, aren't you afraid that it will slip away, let's tie it up" Su Chenghuang is very confident: "I have been tamed since I was a child, no matter how far I run, I will ...... a hello"
At this time, there was a loud bang, which startled several people who were talking, and they looked up at the city, only to see a panic at the head of Guangqu Gate, officers and soldiers running in all directions, and the sound of artillery did not stop.
Su Chenghuang's face turned pale: "Tartar is going to attack the city......" As he spoke, he saw Chang Yu rushing out of the door, Qiao Sanxiu and Song Luoyu followed, and the three of them ran in the direction of the city gate except for Huangfu Sayazi.
How did the Tartars do it so quickly? Chang Yu expected that Dolgon would have to prepare for at least two to three days, and ran straight to the city gate with doubts in his heart, the wound on his neck was not healed, and the blood flowed from the wound, and he didn't care about reaching out so much to cover it.
Hurried to the vicinity of the city gate, saw panicked people everywhere rushing towards the street, living near the city wall once the battle will be injured by the war, Chang Yu shouted to let them stay away from here, just at this time Lao Hu and other guards who were circling outside also heard the news and rushed to come.
"Lao Hu goes back to the palace" Chang Yu saw that he was stupid, and he drove the carriage here, which was funny and angry, and then rushed towards the city, and the defenders under the city were about to intercept it, Qiao Sanxiu had rushed over to block those people: "The ...... of Dongchang"
Chang Yu hurriedly rushed to the city, the arrows in his ears were swishing endlessly, and the Ming army was fighting back to use the battlements to conceal the arrows and bombard them with artillery: "What's the matter, are the Tartars attacking the city?" Chang Yu couldn't get close to the city wall for a while, couldn't see the situation outside the city clearly, and asked loudly, and the people who stayed in the city to supervise the Dongchang and Jinyi guards ran to report: "Lord Yuchang, the Tartars want to capture the moat......"
Capture the moat? Chang Yu raised his eyebrows, and wondered in his heart that Dolgon was only going to start preparing for a day and a night, and it was obviously unreasonable to be in such a hurry and frizzy, and he casually put on the armor handed by a hundred households guarding the city next to him, and walked towards the city wall with a shield in his hand, and saw that Song Luoyu was stupid and wanted to follow, and glared: "Go back"
Chang Yu looked out from the mouth of the wall battlement, and saw that there were thousands of Qing troops outside the moat, while crossing the river with a bridge and shooting arrows at the city.
Retreat to the city tower and look around again, and saw that the Ming troops in the southwest and north directions of the city were firing back, what are you doing, Beijing is so big, you still want to do it at once, nonsense, and look at this battle, I don't want to do that.
Chang Yu rubbed his temples, walked out of the city tower and ordered to stop firing the cannons, saving arrow feathers and deterring them with point shots, which can also be dealt with by stone throwers.
"Lord Factory Governor, I'm afraid that I can't stop it, if the thief army attacks...... "One hundred households are puzzled.
Chang Yu sneered: "Attack a P attack, he doesn't dare to give him the guts, and then he will fly up after crossing the river, it's not how to get in and get out honestly" said and left the city, he had already seen through Dolgon's trick at this time, this move was just to test the military strength of the Ming army in the capital, and by the way, let the men and horses under his command have a warm-up exercise to prepare for the general attack.
