Chapter 229: Persecution (28)
In the Eagle Strike General's Office, Liu Wuzhou sat alone in the bedroom, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
All the generals who were in a mess just now were sent out, either to make preparations for the levy, or to strengthen the patrol and vigilance in Yunzhong City, and the chaotic Lang General Office was completely quiet for a while.
The light of the fire on the indoor lampstand was faint, reflecting Liu Wuzhou's face uncertainly.
Footsteps sounded, and Yuan Junzhang walked in. I don't know why, it seems that Yuan Junzhang's footsteps have been deliberately lightened at this time, and it seems a little inexplicably weird in this silence.
Yuan Junzhang walked to Liu Wuzhou's side and stood still, Liu Wuzhou's figure did not move at all, and he did not look at Yuan Junzhang. Yuan Junzhang didn't urge Liu Wuzhou to do anything, just stood aside silently.
The two people who presided over the Hengan Yingyang Mansion, at this moment, their faces looked a little strange under the light of the oil lamp.
I don't know how long it took, Liu Wuzhou's body moved, and asked softly, "Are the guards arranged?" ”
Yuan Junzhang's voice was also soft: "At this moment, the people inside and outside the Lang General's Office are all brothers who were brought back from Goryeo and exchanged their lives. ”
Liu Wuzhou nodded: "What about the others?" ”
Yuan Junzhang replied: "Either send it to the military village outside the city, or go to the head of the city, or go to inspect the camp outside the city, or inspect the city, Wei Chigong and Xu Le are in their respective regiments, and they are preparing to go out." ”
Liu Wuzhou stood up violently: "Let's go!" ”
Yuan Junzhang nodded, leading the way, and the two of them stepped out of the bedroom one after the other, straight out of the inner courtyard. Go to the west courtyard of the government office.
Liu Wu didn't need servants to run around in the office, but now it has cleared up again. In the snow, the government office looked empty and deserted, but at the door of each corner, there were people in armor guarding them, and when they saw Liu Wuzhou and Yuan Junzhang passing by, they didn't move at all. The whole Lang General Office was as quiet as a grave.
Only towering above the watchtower in the corner of the Lang General's office, a few lanterns are tall and shake from time to time, indicating that they have received news of reports from all over the place. Only then did this Lang General appear to have a hint of vitality.
General Lang will look at the tower, in addition to letting Liu Wuzhou usually climb the heights to see the situation in the city. It is also the command center of the battle of the city defense to the end, with gongs, drums and horns during the day and lights to receive and transmit signals at night. The watchtowers of all the lookouts and regimental squares scattered all over the city moved according to the orders here. Even if they are heavily surrounded by enemy troops and the city walls are breached, relying on such a command system, the various regiments and the Lang generals here can still resist.
But Liu Wuzhou never wanted to fall into this step.
Wang Rengong pressed step by step, and Liu Wuzhou looked like he was swallowing his anger. But in his heart, Liu Wuzhou has always wanted to dominate Ma Yi until he competes in the Central Plains!
But in this world, the natural difference between the family and the poor family makes him have to compete for more people's hearts and minds, and sometimes he has to take risks, and he must painstakingly create a chance to win with one blow!
The children of the family have too many opportunities to waste, and there is a high possibility of turning the tables again if they lose. And the people who got up from the bottom of the poor family will never be able to turn over once they are defeated!
In the courtyard to the west, the security is even stricter. Here and Lang Jiang Ya Office, but also separated by two high wind and fire walls out, only one door can be passed, the door is always locked, it is rare to see when opened, the laneway between the two wind and fire walls, has been filled with thick snow. At the head of the wind and fire wall, there are battlements and lookout posts, and there are sergeants on duty at all times, and strong bows and crossbows are ready at any time. As long as someone approaches without an order and breaks through the door into this alleyway, they will be shot into a hedgehog at any time.
Seeing Liu Wuzhou and Yuan Junzhang coming, several sergeants guarding the door like wood carving clay sculptures took out the key and opened the iron lock. I don't know how long the iron lock spring hasn't been oiled, but it just makes an unpleasant sound of metal rubbing, which is heard far away in the quiet Lang General's office.
The two doors inside and outside suddenly opened, and Liu Wuzhou and Yuan Junzhang slowly walked in.
The western courtyard is not very large, with a total of seven or eight rooms surrounding a courtyard. There are walls of wind and fire on all sides. The wall head is wide enough to accommodate one person, and these wind and fire walls are blue bricks with rammed earth, which is a specific and micro city wall. The sergeant on the wall walked back and forth with a crossbow machine, and the torches at the four corners lit up, even at night, reflecting the courtyard in a bright light.
Only about three or four of these seven or eight rooms were inhabited, and under the porch of each room were sergeants with spears and swords, all of whom were wearing armor and iron masks, armed to the teeth. Seeing Liu Wuzhou and Yuan Junzhang coming in, everyone bowed slightly.
Liu Wu waved his hand on Monday to return the salute, identified a house in the center, and Yuan Junzhang one after the other, until the front of the corridor, pushed the door and entered.
The door didn't bolt and opened with a push.
Originally, this house was originally a dwelling place for outsiders, and it was not very large. It was just rammed floor, but now it has a floor to isolate the moisture, and it looks like some furnishings have been added as much as possible, but it is still shabby and shabby.
At the end of the room, there is a couch. Outside lights shone in through the paper-covered window, reflecting a figure sitting cross-legged on a couch.
Before sitting on the couch, there were several cases, and there were wine and meat on them, which were half-crippled. The figure was still holding a wine bowl, and when Liu Wuzhou and the others came in, he slowly brought the wine bowl to his mouth unmoved, and drank it with taste.
The figure had braided his hair down, was dressed in a leather robe, and his face was gloomy. It was the Axian of the Ministry of Execution who was captured before, and the Persistence was falling.
Liu Wuzhou was not moved by the insistence on falling down, and there was no embarrassment at all, and suddenly there was a smile on his face, and he arched his hand casually like an old friend: "The conditions are simple, but it is wronged by Ah Xian." How are you staying these days? There's no place to wait? ”
Zhi Biluo took a sip of wine, slowly put down the wine bowl, and twitched the corners of his mouth to laugh.
"The Department of Execution originated in Jinshan, and it turned out to be a small department struggling to survive. Over the years, I haven't had any hard days. Even if it is now one of the Eight Kings' Tents, there is not a single day that is not walking on thin ice. Even if it is in the king's tent, it is almost the same as here. It's not about any grievances or grievances. Since he was defeated and became a prisoner, what else can he pay attention to? ”
Liu Wuzhou laughed, looking for a place to sit cross-legged: "Ah Xian is tenacious and hard-working, sure enough, only such a character can bring the Ruling Department to such a point!" ”
Persistence said coldly: "This is all the credit of a certain brother, who is just working hard, and he doesn't dare to take credit." ”
Liu Wuzhou and Zhibi went back and forth, and Yuan Junzhang on the side finally couldn't help it. He has always been arrogant, never impatient and vain, in charge of the affairs of Heng'an Yingyang Mansion, and he has always been resolute. Although the generals under his command were not accustomed to the appearance of Yuan Junzhang's nostrils facing the sky, they all admired Yuan Junzhang's style of acting.
At this moment, Yuan Junzhang also went straight in: "Ah Xianshe, have you also seen the beacon fire from the north?" The Deacons have gone south in winter! In the ice and snow, I think that the patriarch of Zhibihe personally brought the sons of the clan to send him to death. Isn't Ah Xianshea worried about them? ”
Persistence fell into silence for a while, and suddenly laughed: "How can I worry? Baba rushed to see so-and-so, but there were two! ”
