In the dark night, the birds spread their wings and flew across the night sky, and under the half-round bright moon, the mountains rose and fell, and the waterways were like faint white ribbons scattered between the earth under the starlight, and like whiskers and tree roots, spreading with the terrain. The traces left by humanity in this darkness are only speckled fires, sometimes clustered, sometimes scattered.

In the early morning of the ninth day of the first lunar month, nearly five days after the fall of Hangzhou, the initial chaos that came due to this great "chaos" finally had a relatively clear trajectory. At night, the lights are centered on Hangzhou, and after the fall, they rush out of the surrounding area. At first, it was restless and intensive, but at this time, the trajectory gradually turned into a stream, and the firelight in Hangzhou City, after the initial splendor, has gradually stabilized at this time.

Bloodshed, killing, and death had almost stained the streets of the city red for the first four days. However, after the initial madness, everything will always calm down, and it will be time to wash away the bloodstains. How much blood was lost in the four days of killing and looting cannot be described in detail, and many wealthy merchants, gentry, and officials who did not have time to escape from the city were almost hunted down and tortured, and almost slaughtered, and even civilians did not necessarily escape the catastrophe, I don't know how many people were killed in the "suspected" resistance, I don't know how many women were insulted, and after the initial rebels were killed, the survivors who could survive basically began to become indifferent, allowing the "rebels" from different places to occupy a place of territory.

Only a few people with families have become an exception.

A large mansion not far from the Hangzhou Mansion was originally the house of the Chang family of the four major families in Hangzhou, although it was also affected by the earthquake, but it was not serious, and it was repaired after that. Shortly after midnight, the house was brightly lit up inside and outside, and a feast was coming to an end, when the owner of the house at the gate of the house sent a large group of people into the street, greeting and seeing them off one by one.

Generally speaking, in the chaotic city of Hangzhou at this time, the people who can hold a banquet are basically the leaders of the rebels who have entered the city, but at this time it is not the rebels who participate, and the guests look simple and submissive. As the middle-aged man of the master's family and the servants around him are quite generous, this middle-aged man is now the most important brother in Hangzhou, known as the Buddha Shuai Fang Qi Buddha, and these people he sent away, but most of them are the original Hangzhou City gentry and wealthy businessmen, as well as some officials who took refuge in Fang La, which is mixed in the crowd, and there is also a figure of the main building of the Lou family approaching.

As one of the big families in Hangzhou, the Lou family actually had no contact with Fang La before, and Fang Qifo only found him the night before the city was broken. Because the Lou family's business is varied, and there are many people in contact with the three religions and nine streams, the other party has found some relationships, and he is moved by affection, his answer at that time was not resolute, but because he was harassed by Qian Haiping's people before, he was angry, but he did not refuse.

Therefore, on the second day of the city breaking, he cooperated with the Fang La army who was not familiar with the situation to count all kinds of materials in Hangzhou at this time, and then became the guest of honor in the Fang La army.

Of course, Fang La's sitting in Hangzhou may not be stable, and what will happen in the future is actually not optimistic, but at this time, it can only be talked about for such reasons.

The surviving group of people are actually more or less aware of each other or heard their names in Hangzhou. Some of them secretly colluded with Fang La from the beginning, and some were later persuaded to join. In Fang La's new regime at this time, they may become the first batch of native nobles, but unless they are the group of people who have firmly joined Fang La's camp from the beginning, the rest of them are somewhat apprehensive, they don't talk to each other, they don't talk casually, they only say goodbye to Fang Qifo respectfully, and then leave.

For this group of people, Fang Qifo's attitude was gentle and kind. He is nearly forty years old this year, tall and tall, and he does not know how many enemies he kills when he is a general, but when he is a strategist, he has a steady and restrained side. Among Fang La's military system, there are countless people who are unruly, similar to Shi Bao himself crazy, Deng Yuanjue is a little crazy, Li Tianyan is calm but arrogant, and Fang Jian is fierce, these people have their own artistic careers, but in front of Fang Qifo, they are all extremely obedient, and even the moody girl who calls herself Liu Dabiao, or Wang Yin, who is also both civil and military, is also scheming and deep-hearted, when facing him, he usually obeys orders and does not have much to say.

He sent off everyone participating in the banquet at this time, turned around and walked back, and a young man who followed him followed: "Teacher, you value them so much, but in my opinion, they may not like them, many of them are depressed, I'm afraid we don't think our business will last long." In my opinion, those who did not sincerely submit to us in the first place will be killed if they are killed...... It can make a lot of money again. ”

Perhaps he was accustomed to this kind of tone of this disciple, Fang Qifo just glanced at him lightly, but he was not very angry, and smiled slightly: "Chen Fan, we have occupied Hangzhou now, you have to change the habits of such mountain bandits, what kind of business, what kind of big money." The Holy Father will be the emperor, and you will at least be a great general in the future, so you should always be greedy. ”

"Tsk, teacher, it's always better to be greedy and interesting, those emperors, generals or something, they have a headache when they think about it......"

The young man named Chen Fan looked a little lazy, but Fang Qifo didn't care, just walked and said, "Hangzhou is a place in the south of the Yangtze River. The Holy Father is the emperor, Hangzhou is the capital, such an important place, it can't really be all destroyed. Now that the autumn harvest is coming, the rice is going to be cut, there must be manpower, and in the future, this city will be built, there must be rules, there must be business, and it will be called the emperor, and someone will have to support the scene. These things, everyone who went into the city with us, they are not good, they will only burn and rob, now that this is our own home, it is time to restrain a little. ”

Fang Qifo sighed: "The ones we don't understand, they understand, it doesn't matter if they're unhappy now, as long as they are willing to do things, I give them status and power, they will like it...... Now that I have taken Hangzhou, I will get up to attack Jiaxing in the next few days, and before that, I will arrange these things. I'm leaving in a few days, and you're here, and you have to keep them from being harassed, remember? ”

"Teacher, I want to go with you to attack Jiaxing, I don't understand these things, otherwise you can leave General Wang or An Xifu behind, and replace me with Lu, it doesn't matter if I go to Huzhou......"

"It's not that you don't understand, you're too lazy to think about it, otherwise you wouldn't have said anything about them...... At present, Wang Yin wants to take charge of the situation in the south and go to Huzhou in peace. It's best for you to stay, you're my disciple, and you're unreasonable. ”

"I'm not unreasonable, I think I can exchange An Xifu back, take a step back and say, isn't that girl from the Badao family more unreasonable than me, I can also replace her back."

"Those people who went north to Huzhou were a mess, good and bad, and sent them over, on the one hand, to let them disturb Huzhou, and on the other hand, it was just to give them a chance to plunder. Cherish the blessings and follow the past, so that they can rule over these people when necessary. Do you know that at noon today, Lu Sheh and Yao Yi almost fought, thanks to An Xifu and Hei Lingwei's timely arrival, this matter was calmed down, if it was you in the past, I am afraid that it would have been "chaos" on top of "chaos" a long time ago...... As for Badao, where has she been these days? ”

Chen Fan tilted his head and scratched his eyebrows: "A few days ago...... When there was a lot of chaos in the city, she was on the street, giving steamed buns to those people, and we were not allowed to kill. Yesterday, I also went north, and I heard that her subordinates were looking for a person named Ning Liheng, that is, they put her and General Shi together, and killed the person who Gou Zheng and them? Anyway, I think this chick is idle......"

Fang Qifo frowned and thought for a while: "The city was broken that day, and the most people fled to the north, I heard that Ning Liheng had contacted many people in advance and went north to kill together, today Yao Yi and the others seem to be eyeing a group of fugitive teams, could it be that he is among them?" ”

"Teacher, do you want me to catch up and warn them? Obviously, that Ning Liheng is very powerful, by the way, I will change Liu Dabiao and them back? ”

"What is there to warn of, there is an army among the fleeing crowd, and it has become a weary soldier. That Ning Liheng only succeeded for a while that day, how can one person's power be in such things...... As for you to change Liu Dabiao back, go and tell her yourself, as long as you can tell her clearly, let her come back to maintain the situation in the city, I will allow you to go north. ”

"Teacher, then you have to give her an order...... Chen Fan tilted his head and said, but the Seven Buddhas in front of him waved his hand, and the pace did not stop, and he waited here for a while before he shouted angrily: "But I can't maintain the situation in the city, you...... Teacher, aren't you strong, I want to fight! ”

Piles of bonfires were drowning out, and the camp was already in the stage of rest.

This small camp on the top of the hill was not well set up, there were no fences, there were not many guards and patrols, and there were few tents in it, and the tired soldiers with all kinds of weapons of good and bad weapons slept around the campfire in the field, and although there were all kinds of mosquito bites, they were all drowsy.

Lu Sheath was sleeping in the tent - not in fact, he was lying on the bed munching on half a roast chicken, looking at the roof of the shed, occasionally spitting out bones.

"......"

The unhappiness in his heart was after all, it was the nameless anger he received at noon during the day, his brother was beaten several times, and he was ambushed in the valley like that, and that Yao Yi even insisted that he had attacked him!

It's really a sin that is so uncomfortable......

Although their main duty on their trip to the north this time was to disturb Huzhou and make it impossible for Huzhou to take care of Jiaxing and Hangzhou, the main task was actually not heavy. At this time in the northwest, what can really rescue Huzhou or Jiaxing is the Wusu Battalion that originally belonged to Kang Fangting, but since Fang La's capture of Hangzhou, the Wusu Battalion has been contained in the northwest by Fang La's sister Fang Baihua, as long as Fang Baihua is undefeated, Huzhou's troops are powerless on both sides.

Encountering such an unwarranted disaster in such an easy mission of murder and robbery, he originally thought that he would have to fight back no matter what, but then naturally he could not succeed. When the black Judge Advocate Corps arrived, both sides were dumbfounded.

In the Fangla army, although most of them were composed of homeless victims, some of them could not even get together weapons, such as his Lu Shea, which was pulled from his hometown of Tongxian, and then joined the Holy Prince's army, so he was given a mountain and a structure. But there are still a few really good armies.

Regardless of the army under Fang Qifo and others, in order to avoid the situation of rout and escape on the battlefield is too serious, the military law team established by Fang Baihua is indeed an out-and-out elite, the members of it are dressed in black, and they are all ruthless people who kill people. Now the leader of this team is a young man named An Xifu, who has a taciturn bookish anger, but I have to say that Lu Sheh saw him and felt a little weak.

I have to say that in today's rebel army, the people involved are basically still mixed with the feeling of the mountain, whoever has a big fist, others are afraid, Lu Sheath naturally can't provoke Deng Yuanjue Shibao Si Xingfang, nor can he provoke Hei Lingwei, but he is with Li Tianyan, and Yao Yi under Si Xingfang can still afford to provoke him. Today, I was unhappy in my heart, and I couldn't sleep at this time, and I cursed in my heart for a while.

He was venting spontaneously in his heart, when he suddenly heard a small commotion outside the tent, and he was shocked, and secretly said Could it be that Yao Yi had come to make trouble again? "" the big knife and then pick up the curtain out of the tent, just out of the tent, then saw a group of people through the camp, towards him, the first one is small, but it is a skirt, wearing a black gauze hat, followed by a tall person, carrying a box, and then next, there is also a group of people who can be vaguely visible silhouette walking, these people's footsteps frightened the bonfire on the way, the light is spotted in the air, Lu Sheath thought about the origin of the pedestrian in front of him, but when he reacted, he was stunned.

The girl took out a token in her hand and shook it, Lu Sheath hurriedly saluted, and before she could speak, the middle-aged man with the box behind her spoke first: "General Lu doesn't have to be polite, let's look for a scholar named Ning Liheng, maybe in the fleeing team to the north, has General Lu ever heard of it?" ”

Lu Sheh was stunned: "No, I don't know what to do......"

"You must have caught a few lonely people along the way, where are they detained, take us to ask, okay?"

The fleeing crowd came from all directions, and along the way, some people would definitely be caught, some killed and robbed things, and some were arrested and interrogated. Lu Sheh nodded hurriedly, and then led the group of people over, looking from a distance, the dark shadows in the mountains were longing, and it seemed that there were more people in ambush. When they arrived, the maiden and the others did not need him to be watching, so he turned back and sat down by the campfire to look over there.

The group of people in front of him, he was not familiar with before, he had only heard of it. It is the sword battalion led by Liu Dabiaozi, a famous martial arts officer in the southwest. This Liu Dabiaozi was originally a martial arts hero, not a mountain bandit, but he had a friendship with Fang La, and he echoed when Fang La started an incident, and he was the elite of the righteous army with Hei Lingwei.

Of course, compared to the reputation of Hei Lingwei who has been killing his head, this sword battalion is attributed to Liu Dabiaozi's own fame, it is said that this person has a sword in one hand, and there are few opponents in Jiangnan martial arts, but he is a hero who is eight feet tall and has a waist circumference of eight feet and a dignified chest, and it is difficult for a few people in the righteous army to compare with him.

When Lu Sheath first heard about it when he joined the rebel army, he admired this Liu Dabiao very much. But as he gained a position in the rebel army, he found that although the soldiers in the Badao battalion could occasionally be seen, Liu Dabiaozi himself had never seen it. This person does not seem to participate in the various activities of the rebel army to compete for power and profit, and is mysterious and domineering. But later, Lu Sheh faintly heard that Liu Dabiao died a few years earlier, and now it is Liu Dabiao's daughter who is giving orders instead of him, but he also stubbornly asks people to call her Liu Dabiao's son, as if he wants to let the name of his father pass on, he heard it at first, it was a little funny, but then he found that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

It is said that although Liu Dabiao's daughter is eccentric, her martial arts are extremely high, and this is the high-level of the righteous army, and almost no one dares to make fun of Liu Dabiao's words, all because she has fought with many people in the high-level for this. The woman's body is thin, but the fierce sword in the imperial envoy's family is a different way, I heard that even Shi Bao, Wang Yin and others, who have the highest martial arts in the army at this time, may not be able to beat her, Chen Fan, a disciple of Fang Qifo, is said to even have the power to uproot the weeping willows, and the battle array is like Shura, but I heard that when I fought with this Liu Dabiao, it was also a draw.

Whether there are other reasons for this Lu Sheath is not very clear, but these draws can be alive, but there are many people in the army, it is said that they were really killed by Liu Dabiao, although others rarely see the woman, but they do not dare to use a name other than Liu Dabiao to say her, over time, it is also spread to be divine. When he saw it for the first time today, he didn't feel much overt domineering, but he didn't show any disrespect at all.

After a while, the interrogation was probably over, and they came back here. The girl nodded slightly at him to thank him, he hurriedly returned the salute, and the middle-aged man behind said: "The matter has been asked, until there is no result, we came from General Xue Dounan Xue's side, General Yao should also be around here, I don't know if you have seen it?" ”

This team of people is actually quite polite, Lu Yan heard the question, only to know that the girl and her party were actually asking one by one towards the north, and nodded hurriedly: "Naturally I saw it, Yao Yi, their team should be on the other side of the mountain, just go west." Oh, and the Black Feather Guard, led by Mr. An, has probably gone forward. ”

"Thank you." These people listened, turned around and left, and walked towards the darkness, after walking a few steps, Lu Sheath saw that the girl turned around and opened her mouth, this was the first time he heard the other party's voice, a little cold, but it was also pleasant to hear: "We are looking for a person named Ning Liheng, if General Lu meets the fugitive again tomorrow, please help ask, Xie Lu thank you." ”

"Uh...... Naturally, naturally, no problem. ”

After Lu Sheh finished speaking, he watched those people go away in the dark, and breathed a sigh of relief. I feel that these people are also getting along well, and then I feel that this may be the momentum of a powerful person, and it would be best to go to Yao Yi's side and clean up Yao Yi and others......

At the same moment, our gaze further north was the burning of bonfires in the valley where many of the fugitives were stationed. In the darkness here, Chan'er was sitting down on the grass with her knees crossed, looking at the figure by the campfire in the distance with a slightly sad look, while the figure of another woman was walking over there with a glass of water.

There are some things that she doesn't understand, and even if she understands them slightly, at this point, she has become a little incomprehensible.

In the morning, my uncle was diagnosed with a critical injury on his hand, and the doctor gave first aid. When she, Juan'er, Sister Xing'er and others were forcibly driven into the departure procession by Miss, she was so sad that she almost cried, but it was not the time to cry, so she held back.

In the afternoon, my aunt and young lady came up, and she was very happy. But on the way, she inquired, and her uncle's injury was very serious. But as soon as he arrived here, my uncle began to do things, all kinds of things, running to persuade those rich merchants to take out gold, silver and jewelry as bait, summoning veterans, hunters to inquire about all kinds of situations, until the night, these things did not stop, my uncle has been asking by the campfire, occasionally thinking about it, walking, most of the time on paper with the map to write and draw.

The situation of the injury can make people's thinking slower, and the situation of the uncle does not seem to be ideal, but from the beginning to the end, he did not stop, occasionally asking the young lady's opinion, until those who were questioned were already asleep, and he was still writing and thinking.

It's not that she can't fully understand her uncle's intentions in doing these things, but something has been beating her in her heart: her uncle's injury is too serious, and her uncle won't be able to hold on......

I wanted to go over and persuade a few words, but I haven't been able to muster up the courage, and the young lady didn't persuade my uncle this time, she followed by the side, watched from the side, and most of the time, quietly didn't speak, that may be the husband singing fu. She was very envious of the confidant between the young lady and her uncle, but ...... Uncle won't be able to hold on......

Just now she took a glass of water and wanted to go over, almost trying to muster up the courage to encroach on the maid's duty, and opened her mouth to persuade her uncle to stop first, but the young lady who passed by took the water cup over. Perhaps seeing the look on her face, the young lady shook her head slightly and hugged her, and then brought her a glass of water. She came back here, and fell asleep without any intention, and when she saw the young lady and her aunt sitting side by side, she hugged her knees, pressed her shuangchun on her knees, and cried in a low voice and suppression......

The firelight burst out, and a cloud of light dust rose, and in the light, Ning Yi raised his face and thought about it carefully, then lowered his head again, and continued to write and draw on the paper, the night, maybe it will be a long time......

That night, Ning Yi finally slept a little, and when he got up the next day, he continued yesterday's planning and deduction. The refugees pulled out of the camp and turned, he continued to think immediately, sometimes discussing with Su Tan'er, giving Su Tan'er what he was thinking to look at, and along the way, he asked such and such people. It wasn't until late in the evening that he handed over a rough idea to Chen Xingdu, and some of the details still needed to be revised by someone who really knew the soldiers, and maybe it wouldn't be accepted at the end of the day, but at the moment, it could only be done to this extent.

While some of the people were discussing in the tent they had just set up, Ning Yi and Su Tan'er rode a horse and headed towards the nearby hillside, which was a winding waterway. As the sun sets, the sun casts a golden glow on the mountains and water, and the mountains are sparkling and the slopes are filled with beautiful wildflowers.

Ning Yi got off the horse and reached out to pick up Su Tan'er down, and then, although he saved his wife, he staggered back a few steps, and the two fell into the grassy slope, Ning Yi still had some strength at this time, although he fell, it would not let Su Tan'er be shaken too much, and then the two of them lay there and chuckled.

Looking up, on the evening of the ninth day of the first lunar month, the sky flew over the flock of geese, and the clouds on this day were very good, like pure white cotton wool. Ning Yi opened his arms, and Su Tan'er gently covered her hand on her stomach, like two children.

The two children lay there for a while before anyone spoke......

It's 6,000 words again, and I hate myself a little, it would have been nice if I had posted it a few days earlier, but it didn't matter. I don't know if everyone has a new chapter today, but this month has not doubled anyway...... Beg!!!
