Shen Heizi shook his head again and again, his face was full of tears, and he asked angrily: "Your Majesty, just by virtue of these, you can kill Deng Zhong directly?" Just because of that nameless letter? Just because on the night of the twenty-second day, the Song people really came to attack at night? ”

"And because there must be spies in the city, and it's not one or two! What's more, because I sent someone to Minzi to summon him, but he didn't dare to come. He Deng Zhong is not a spy, who is a spy? Ma Long added, just based on these points, Ma Long was already sure that Deng Zhong was a spy.

At this time, Deng Zhong was already dead thoroughly, and Shen Heizi slowly stroked Deng Zhong's face with his hand, closing Deng Zhong's dead eyes. Then he said: "At the beginning, Di Junshi's matter, you shouldn't have killed people directly, in this Luanzhou City, it is difficult to kill Di Junshi, not to mention that Di Junshi has many henchmen around him, even with Di Junshi's prestige in the army, he can't easily kill him directly." There is still a way out of everything, whether it is a war or a war, and there is still a score to say, even if it is a battle in the end, you should be polite and courteous with Di Junshi, Di Junshi is also a loving person. If peace can be negotiated, as long as many brothers can be kept and a little wealth can be left, it is not impossible. Now the matter has come to this, at the moment of the war, instead of uniting as one, he killed his henchmen before the war. Your Majesty, big brother, you are going to die! ”

"Shen Heizi, how dare you bewitch the crowd here? Are you really Di Yong's spy? Ma Long was even angrier, raised his hand and pointed, and said foaming at the mouth.

"Your Majesty, if you don't kill it too, kill it here!" Shen Heizi didn't seem to be afraid at all at this time, in the past in Yanjing City, in order to prevent their families from starving to death, four people took the risk of plotting to set fire to grab food, Ma Niu was the leader, Shen Heizi came up with a strategy, Deng Zhong was the first to support, and Liu Minzi followed. The fire was set out, the grain was robbed, a man was met, he was beaten, and from then on it was smooth sailing, and even a country was built.

Now, one has become the emperor, the other has died at the hands of the emperor, the other has become a direct accomplice to killing Deng Zhong, and Shen Heizi himself, I thought that everyone was happy, but in the end he also indirectly became an accomplice.

If you really want to talk about it, in this so-called Great Yan Kingdom, Ma Niu can trust the most, in fact, there are three other people, and the others are all known halfway, and most people don't even know the roots.

Deep Kuroko has a feeling of being dead at this time, a smart person, with a group of fools, there is a sense of powerlessness.

Shen Heizi's words, listening to Ma Long's ears, made Ma Long have a sense of emptiness, and Ma Long said: "You Mo Dao I don't dare to kill you, if I know that you are also secretly colluding with Di Yong, I will blame me for being unkind." ”

Liu Minzi was still on the side and asked stupidly: "Old Shen, you can't really be a spy, right?" ”

Shen Heizi glanced up at Liu Minzi, only shook his head with a wry smile, laughing like crying, he slowly picked up Deng Zhong in the pool of blood, sighed, and turned his head: "Let's go, I'm gone, we are all mud legs, when I went out of Yanjing City, even my name was written crookedly, in the past, I never thought that those who read and read were anything great, but now for so long, I have also learned words, can read and understand books, only to know that in the past I used to sit in the well and watch the sky." The means of a scholar and the wisdom of a scholar are really beyond the reach of ordinary people. We're not anyone's opponents. ”

Ma Long took a few steps forward again and again: "Heizi, you still dare to talk nonsense, you say it again, I will never spare you!" ”

Shen Heizi turned his head to look at Ma Long and Liu Minzi, and said: "There are still spies in the city, there must be others, but you can't find them, this city gate, one day it will be opened from the inside, that day, this Great Yan Kingdom will be wiped out, what emperors and generals, what governors and governors, are just passing clouds." I'll go back and wait to die, and whoever kills me will be the same. ”

Liu Minzi heard this, and turned back to Ma Long in a daze, and said, "Your Majesty, I don't think Lao Shen is like a spy. But Lao Shen seems to be crazy. ”

Ma Long seemed to be trembling with anger, there was a sentence on his lips, he could hear Liu Minzi's words, but he held back again, he almost said, "Come on, kill Shen Heizi on the spot!" ”。

Shen Heizi walked out slowly, holding a corpse, staggering, his spirit was already empty, like a walking corpse.

Obviously, Shen Heizi also blamed himself, Deng Zhong trusted him, so he listened to him and followed him into this palace. But Deng Zhong still died, dying from his trust in Shen Heizi.

What else do you talk about emperors and generals?

There are still people watching the play outside the city, but the people who watch the play can't actually see the play, so they can only make up their brains and guess.

Di Yong asked Gan Qi: "Big brother, why is there no movement in the city?" It stands to reason that if we attack at night, there will always be some big movement, right? ”

Gan Qi also frowned and said, "I don't know where this arrow is going." ”

"Big brother, do you want to think of another way? Like, shoot another letter to the city? Anyway, we have to make them panic. Di Yong gave advice.

Gan Qi thought for a while: "Well, it's okay, shoot another letter in, just scold people, scold the treacherous, you can't die well, and the day the city is broken, it will be all over the house." You don't have to write anything else. ”

"Hehe, it's still big brother! Are you still shooting into the same place you used to be? ”

"Well, just shoot into the place before." Gan Qi said.

Di Yong immediately set off to do it.

This letter naturally shot in again, and the person who received the letter was naturally Liu Minzi, who had changed guards with Deng Zhong before.

After Liu Minzi taught people to read the letter, he even entered the palace.

Ma Long already scolded: "I also said that Deng Zhong is not a spy, and I also said that he is not, the evidence is ironclad." Deng Zhong is dead, Shen Heizi is so heartbroken, and Shen Heizi is afraid that he is not a good person. Did they collude early in the morning? Yes? Are they all spies a long time ago? ”

Liu Minzi was stunned again and said, "Big brother, I don't think Lao Shen looks like a spy." ”

"Don't you see? Can your brain work? If even you can see who the spy is, that's a joke. Ma Long said this, but he was right, Liu Minzi's brain is not easy to use, it is only suitable for work, not for thinking.

Liu Minzi lowered his head, he was self-aware, he knew that his brain was not good, he had always just followed behind everyone to contribute, if he let him use his brain to plan something, I was afraid that he would have starved to death on the street.

So Liu Minzi said: "Then do you want me to call Lao Shen and ask him again?" ”

"This kind of thing, you ask him, can he admit it?" Ma Long looked disdainful, and said: "You send someone to keep an eye on him, to keep an eye on his big tent, to see what he does every day, and to see what kind of people he has met." ”

"Oh, I'll go." Liu Minzi replied.

Shen Heizi personally threw a pit, found a coffin at the bottom of the box in a family in the city, and found someone to carve a stele, which can be regarded as burying Deng Zhonghou.

Before the grave, Shen Heizi sat on the ground, poured himself a drink, and tears did not stop. There were some words in his mouth.

“…… I regret that I didn't come out of the mountains in the first place...... If he had stayed in the mountains and been the thief, he would not have ...... now."

"Even if it's in the mountains...... We don't recruit troops and horses, and we don't want to loot the state capital, so we eat wine and meat every day......"

"Brother Zhong, it's me who can't stand you!"

"Brother Zhong, everything has changed......"

"Everything has changed......

"Tell me, why can't we be reincarnated in a rich family, go to study when we are young, be admitted to the sergeant and become an official when we grow up, take a big wife, and buy a few beautiful concubines?"

"I only hope that Brother Zhong will go here and be reincarnated into a rich and noble family in the next life, and he will not suffer like this......"

Talking and talking, drinking and drinking, he got drunk, and lay on the edge of the grave, and a group of cronies and guards carried Shen Heizi back to the big tent.

And it was dawn.

Outside the city, there was a lot of fighting, logging, ladder building, and even craftsmen who were brought in to start building ladder trucks and trebuchets.

Gan Qi seems to be ready to fight a protracted war, and the time is still enough for the time being, and the Khitans have mobilized the whole country and are ready to fight with all their might, at least for about two months.

It's not that the Khitans don't want to speed up, but now that the Khitans have lost Yanyun, the mobilization speed is the only way. Mobilizing people from Liaodong from Liaoyang Prefecture, mobilizing men from various tribes near Linhuang Mansion, and even mobilizing men from many tribes in the grassland is no smoother and faster than mobilizing people from one city to another, gathering producers from all over the country to join the army to fight, and it is not smoother and faster than directly mobilizing the army that has been out of production.

Another point, that is, the Huanglong Mansion also started a war, and the battle was defeated in a row, a small Wanyan Jurchen, with two or three thousand men and horses, also fought with the 20,000 Liao army in the Huanglong Mansion, and the Huanglong Mansion was also constantly asking for help.

The Huanglong Mansion can't be lost for the time being, but in addition to the city, the vast jungle has become a hunting ground for the Wanyan Jurchens to come and go, and the army of the Wanyan Jurchens is also increasing, two thousand to three thousand, three thousand to four thousand.

However, the Great Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji in the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing can't manage so much now, as long as the city is not lost, thousands of savages, but the problem of scabies, thinking that those savages do not have the ability to attack the city, and now they can't pull away, and the shame of the dignified Da Liao Emperor being beaten and fleeing overnight occupies all of Yelu Hongji's heart.

Gan Qi is preparing for a tough battle, this is a two-handed preparation, he doesn't know anything about the situation in Luanzhou City, there is really a Di Yong's Neiying in the city, this person is named Lin Yanyan, but unfortunately he can't be contacted at this time. So I had to act at the opportunity after the war.

The war is also to give Lin Yan some chances.

Otherwise, if he drags it out like this, Lin Yanyan, who is not Ma Niu's most trusted general, will never have a chance. Lin Yanyan can't garrison the key place at this time, and he can't be contacted, and it is impossible to succeed without the cooperation between the inside and the outside, even if Lin Yanyan dares to fight hard, without the agreed response outside the city, it is just a dead end.

As long as the war starts and the casualties begin to fall, the men and horses of the various departments in the city will naturally rotate to defend the city, and Lin Yanyan will have the opportunity to lead his troops to the city, whether it is to guard the city gate or the city wall, this is an opportunity.

Shen Heizi's wine woke up, and he and Liu Minzi were both at the east gate, one guarding the northern section of the east gate and the other guarding the southern section of the east gate. The terrain on the east side of the gate is the flattest, and it is also the most suitable for the deployment of large troops, and all this side is a place for heavy defense.

The scheduling of these city defenses was still personally arranged by Di Yong in order to deal with the siege of 100,000 Liao troops, but Di Yong arranged for Shen Heizi and Deng Zhong at the east gate, and now Liu Minzi has replaced Deng Zhong.

After Shen Heizi sobered up, he personally went up to the city wall, standing on the edge of the city wall without saying a word, as if enjoying the scenery, and he could also see the hot movements outside the city.

The craftsmen erected the tall skeletons of the ladder cart and the catapult, and the sound of the labor horn lifted some huge wooden planks to the height of the ladder cart to ward off the arrows.

There are also carriages pulling huge logs cut from the woods not far away, and they are constantly being sent to the barracks.

At this time, Liu Minzi also appeared above the city and slowly walked behind Shen Heizi.

Shen Heizi just glanced back at the visitor, then turned his head to look again, without saying a word.

Liu Minzi opened his mouth and said: "Old Shen, Your Majesty said that you should change your guard and go to the north gate to be a reserve army." ”

Shen Heizi nodded: "Well, when will it pass?" ”

"Let's take a while, we have to clean up over there, come over first, and you guys will pack up and move over again."

Shen Heizi just nodded slightly, the meaning of this kind of dispatch is very simple, it is just distrust, without him, just at will. Anyway, this city can't be defended.

Deng Zhong's men and horses began to split last night, and they were scattered and filled in dozens of parts, with lifeless eyes and stunned faces......

There was talk everywhere in the city today, and even when Shen Heizi woke up, he heard the sound of discussion outside the tent, and the thing being discussed was that the emperor killed Deng Zhong. Some people were upset, saying that Deng Zhong must not be a spy, and His Majesty the Emperor must be mistaken. Some people also ridiculed, saying that Deng Zhong usually bullied people everywhere, and he deserved to be like this.

There are all kinds of things to say, and Shen Heizi doesn't bother to care, so he lets them talk about it.

And because of these things to talk about, there are fights, and many cronies under Deng Zhong's command went to other people's barracks, so they fought with these nonsense people, and after the fight, they wanted people to be in charge, some people went to the emperor to ask for their lives, and some people came to Shen Heizi to administer justice.

Shen Heizi didn't want to care about it, he didn't see anything, the emperor was angry, but someone was beaten by the board.

Shen Heizi asked Liu Minzi in a cold tone: "When will you come over there?" ”

Liu Minzi replied: "I don't know, it's fast, it's slow, it's slow, when I changed the guard a few days ago, it took a few hours, and there are a lot of things, and there are many brothers who have accumulated property and so on, and they always have to move it clean." ”

"Can you come here before dark? I just want to get a good night's sleep. Shen Heizi asked again.

"If it's fast, it should be about the same before dark, if it's slow, it'll be tomorrow, and you won't be able to do much work at night, but it's a mess." Liu Minzi replied that in this era, there are no street lights, no good lighting, and it is unrealistic to move on a large scale at night.

And this kind of thing must not be the first to do this kind of thing, Shen Heizi's side must not make the first move, the city wall defense line must not be empty, and someone else must come first before Shen Heizi can go again.

Shen Heizi nodded and said nothing.

Liu Minzi stayed for a while, and felt a little bored, and said, "Then I'll go first and urge them to hurry up." ”

Shen Heizi suddenly turned around: "Wait, let me ask you a word." ”

"Oh, you ask."

Shen Heizi asked in a melancholy tone, "Minzi, do you want to live?" ”

"Hey...... Old Shen, what do you call this? Who doesn't want to live? Liu Minzi replied with a smile.

"On the one hand, there is death, and on the other hand, there is no wealth, but there is still life. How do you choose? Shen Heizi asked again.

Liu Minzi thought about it: "Then I choose to live, if I die, there will be nothing, only when I live can I have thoughts, I can earn again when I am rich, I still have a son and wife, and they have to rely on me to live." ”

"I understand, you go, you don't need to rush them, lest they leave anything in a hurry, and then they will come to me to look for me." Shen Heizi said.

"Well, I know, let them move well, move cleanly, don't come to trouble you again when they run out of things." Liu Minzi's tone was relaxed and he turned his head away.

Shen Heizi, who was standing at the head of the city, sighed deeply again and looked ahead, but his eyes were out of focus.
