Expedition Chapter 241 Handan City
Of the 100,000 troops that had gone out, only 70,000 had returned, and the rest had been killed, and the 70,000 troops had returned as if they had been left out in the cold, and the rest of the army that had gathered to carry grain had already returned to their respective cities when they returned.
The king had no orders, and even Lian Po, who was a general, could only stay in the barracks and wait for orders.
After Mo Chen came to Handan, he couldn't stay anymore, not to mention that there was Ping'er in the city who he thought about day and night, and there was another person, this was the second time he came to Handan, and he had been away for a year, remembering that he suddenly fell from the sky and scared the two children who were happily playing in the water, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
"I don't know how Li Jiang is doing now." Mo Chen touched his chin and showed a look of memory.
"Monkey, let's go into town." Mo Chen decided to go to see Li Jiang first, and then go to Ping'er, after all, Ping'er didn't know where in Handan now, and Li Jiang's family, he remembered it clearly.
When the monkey heard this, he said excitedly: "Big brother, are we going to find my sister-in-law?" ”
The monkey couldn't help but be unhappy, and got the eldest brother to promise that his marriage to Qingqing had been secured, and he wanted to tell Qingqing about this happy thing.
Now after arriving in Handan, Mo Chen secretly scolded himself for being stupid, he was in too much of a hurry to leave, and he didn't ask Uncle Huang where Ping'er lived, and he didn't know what relatives Ping'er's family had in Handan Why did they come to Handan? This series of confusion appeared in his mind, but it was only a flash, after all, it was all clear when he found Ping'er and asked.
Mo Chen shook his head and said, "No, let's go to the first home I came here first." ”
When the monkey heard that he was not looking for Huang Qiuping, he was a little disappointed, but he was happy again, and said, "Big brother turned out to be from Handan!" No wonder it's so powerful. ”
Mo Chen shook his head and said, "No, I'm not from Handan." ”
"Huh? Not from Handan? So where is the big brother? The eldest brother is so powerful, how can he not be from Handan? "In the monkey's impression, Handan, that is the capital of Zhao State, all the capable, powerful, and even rich people, they are all Handan people, and there are people as powerful as their eldest brother in other places?
Not to mention the people of Handan, Mo Chen feels that he is not from Zhao Guo, he is just a future person who fell from the sky and was brought over by the jade pendant in his arms. Could it be that the people of Handan are very powerful? Mo Chen didn't bother to answer the monkey.
As soon as they arrived at the city gate, Mochen and the others were stopped on the grounds that Handan City was not allowed to enter with weapons.
Although Mochen and the others are still wearing military uniforms and armor, and at a glance they know that they are the army that has just returned from Zhengyan, and the traces of the dust on their faces cannot be concealed, but the soldiers defending the city still do not show any affection.
"Do you see clearly, we are the army returning from Zhengyan, this is our general." The monkey was dissatisfied.
A soldier city gate captain clenched his fists and said apologetically: "General, this, this is embarrassing, this is a rule, everyone is not allowed to bring weapons into Handan City." ”
The captain of the city guard glanced at Mo Chen and the monkey, they were so young, both of them looked like they were teenagers, but he would not doubt the identity of the other party, not to mention the general's costume, even the young man who spoke was also a centurion military uniform, and that evil spirit, which could not be faked, only a person who had just experienced countless cruel battles would have such a strong evil spirit, but even so, he did not dare to let them go into the city.
Not only the regulations, but he also didn't dare to be accommodating, God knows if these short-tempered, just returned from the battlefield will make trouble in the city, if any of the guys who don't open their eyes provoke these two guys, these two people are afraid that it will be difficult to deal with them with their bare hands, if there is a weapon in hand, it is not to turn the sky upside down.
What's more, in this Handan City, the children of rich families, the young masters of the aristocracy, it is a big handful, and if you throw a brick casually, you may hit one, if the children of the nobles and rich people are injured, once they check it, I am afraid that they will not be able to eat and walk around.
The city guards painstakingly explained the big truth to Mo Chen, and just as Mo Chen nodded and was about to take out his weapon, the city guard squad leader secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a group of guards supporting a carriage, holding a sword, walked into the city with a majestic spirit, and those city guards did not dare to come out even in the sky, hiding on the side of the road with their heads down, and did not dare to look directly at the carriage.
The monkey pointed to the carriageway with dissatisfaction: "Then why can they bring weapons in?" ”
The captain of the city guard team watched the carriage leave before whispering, "Shh, that's the Guo family's carriage." ”
After the death of the original King Zhao, Prince Zhao ascended the throne, and the Guo family, which has always been Prince Zhao's diehard loyalty and favored minister, can be described as infinitely beautiful. Guo Kai has stepped directly from the favored ministers to the ranks of the powerful ministers, and he is really above one person and below ten thousand people.
Huang Qiuping was a little tired and sat in the carriage with her eyes closed, and the maid Qingqing sat next to her and waited.
At this time, Huang Qiuping has a little more charm of a mature woman, but she is a little less delicate and pure, and she knows that she is already a woman at a glance.
"Qingqing, it's so noisy outside, where are we?" Huang Qiuping said a little tiredly.
The maid Qingqing hunched her head out of the carriage and looked out, and if she looked to her left, she could see which man she had been thinking about day and night.
The maid Qingqing retracted her head and said softly, "Miss, you have entered the city now." ”
"Well, when I get to the fabric store, let the groom stop for a while, and I'll go and choose some fabric to make a dress for Brother Guo Li." Huang Qiuping didn't even open her eyes.
"Well, I see, miss." The maid Qingqing replied softly. Looking at the tired young lady, she couldn't bear to say: "Miss, you go to Lin Yun Temple every morning to pray for the blessing of the captain of the silent camp, the Bodhisattva must have seen your sincerity, why don't you rest for a few days first!" ”
Huang Qiuping and the maid Qingqing were either in Guo's Mansion or Linyun Temple during this time, and they were on the way back and forth, and Guo's generals and guards would definitely not tell them about the Yan's army, so they never knew that the war was over, and the army had arrived in Handan, but they were directly brought back to the station, and they were left out in the cold.
The captain of the guard also knows that these people who have just returned from the battle are not easy to mess with, but this is the rule! He didn't dare to let him go, as for the Guo Mansion team in front, it was a powerful minister, and he was in Handan City, he didn't dare to say a word if he was given ten dares!
The captain of the guard said apologetically: "General, why don't you leave your weapons and return them to you when you leave?" ”
"No, why can people bring weapons in, we can't, do you look down on our Yan army, or are you jealous of our meritorious service." The monkey still refuses to give up, the blade is their partner, how can they leave their partner behind, not to mention, why can others bring it, but they can't bring it? This is discrimination against them.
"General, these guys obviously look down on us, please allow the general, and my subordinates will teach these guys a lesson." Although the monkey is small, it directly pulls up its sleeves.
"Alright, alright, monkey, give them the knife, and we'll go back and get it again." Mo Chen waved his hand and said, he was in a hurry to see Li Jiang now, but he didn't have time to delay here.
Mo Chen spoke, although he was unwilling, but he couldn't help but listen to his eldest brother's words, the monkey could only reluctantly hand the saber to the captain of the city guard, and took off the bow and arrows, and said with a reluctant face: "You can keep it, these are treasure knives, if they are gone, you can't afford to sell yourself." ”
"Don't worry, two generals, I will definitely keep it for you." Although the captain of the city guard team was polite on his face, he didn't take it seriously in his heart, in his opinion, wasn't it just a few weapons? Who doesn't! Are you so nervous? Sure enough, the guys in the Zhengyan Army are all poor bastards.
However, when he took the weapon, he only felt a sinking in his hand, and the long knife in his hand was almost gone.
Good guy, he could feel that the long knife in his hand weighed at least twenty or thirty pounds, and he couldn't imagine how a long knife could be so heavy.
The captain of the city guard respectfully placed the long knife and the monkey bow and arrow in a square box, where there were other things that had been detained, all of which were controlled knives.
Mo Chen took off the long knife and reminded kindly: "Okay, my knife is a bit heavy." ”
The captain of the city guard team greeted him with a smile on his face, nodded his head to show understanding, but secretly despised it in his heart, this general said a little late! Why don't you remind you when you want to remind you of the first long knife? Now that I've experienced it myself, I already know the weight of the knife, so I said, it's too late.
Mo Chen saw that the captain of the city guard squad still didn't care under his own reminder, so he secretly shook his head and handed over his long knife.
Although the captain of the city guard team stretched out his hands to catch Mo Chen's long knife, it could be seen that it was a little casual, and he did not make a long knife that greeted Mo Chen's 'a bit heavy'.
In the heart of the captain of the city guard, although this knife is heavy, it is only thirty catties! It's just twice as heavy as other normal long knives, and if you're a strong man, do you have to prepare for borrowing a knife?
When Mo Chen handed the long knife in his hand to the captain of the city guard, the team leader once again refreshed his understanding of the weight of the long knife, and he had just taken it.
"Bell"
The long knife fell directly to the ground, and the captain of the city guard team, holding the long knife in both hands, sat on the ground with one butt, but fortunately, the other end of the long knife was quickly grabbed by Mo Chen's eyes, otherwise this city guard captain might have been the first soldier to have his leg broken by the knife.
Mo Chen said helplessly: "It is said that this knife is a bit heavy." ”
The captain of the city guard army had the urge to scold his mother, he originally thought that this knife was only a few dozen catties of mental preparation, but in essence, it was far beyond his expectations, this long knife actually exceeded the number of dozens, and it weighed more than 100 catties.
A knife more than one meter long weighs more than 100 pounds, and it is actually said to be a bit heavy, which is too! This is already very heavy, heavier than a man who is not too strong.
