The two boats were moving at full speed along the thin water, and the wind was not in favor of the boat, so the boatman on the boat rowed with his oars and rowed desperately southward.

When the east was sunny, Lan Ziyi and they docked at the wharf, the sergeants and Li Guangzhong got into the carriage and walked behind, and the rest of Lan Ziyi and they changed horses and galloped eastward.

Although the sky has been bright, but the rooster has not yet crowed, it stands to reason that the city gate is closed at this time, and now the battle situation is urgent, it is estimated that the city of Luzhou has been full of defenders,

But when everyone arrived outside the city, the scene in front of them shocked everyone's jaws, only to see the gate of Luzhou City wide open, the city is full of lights, pedestrians outside the city can enter and exit at will, and there is not even a person guarding the door at the door, and then look at the city, there are a few people standing on it, but these sergeants actually drank and staggered, and someone leaned on the city wall and almost fell.

The Tao brothers gritted their teeth angrily when they saw this, and the green tendons were exposed, and Tao Zhuhu directly grabbed the soldier who led the way next to him and asked:

"What are you doing? Why did you come out to fight like this? ”

The sergeant was asked by Tao Zhuhu, ashamed and frightened, his face was red and white, and seeing that he did not speak, the other sergeants beside him took over and said:

"Uncle Peach, not only the defenders, but all the people in the city are drunk......

Hearing this, Tao Zhuhu stared at the tiger's eyes, just a few people had already ridden to the city gate, and before they entered the city, they smelled the smell of wine coming from the urn city, and then looked at the people who were leading wine bottles and staggering in and out of the city gate at will, Tao Zhuhu was so shocked that he forgot to be angry,

Qiu Xiaozhi rode his horse to the gate of the city at this time, stretched out his hand and pulled a passer-by, who did not panic or shout, but just took the wine jug to salute Qiu Xiaozhi, and kept saying:

"Come, drink together, celebrate together!"

Qiu Xiao looked annoyed, and pushed the passer-by away, and the man rolled to the city gate and fell asleep against the corner.

Qiu Xiaozhi stretched out his hand and pointed to the unguarded city gate to ask the sergeant who led the way, his voice trembled with excitement, Qiu Xiaozhi asked:

"That's how you defend the city?"

Qiu Wenruo, who was usually not angry, was so angry that his hair stood on end at this time, and he glared at the sergeant who led the way and asked:

"I don't ask where the guards at the gate are, I don't ask why I smell alcohol outside the gate, I just want to know why the gate is open all night. Don't you know that it is a capital offense to open the gates of the city at night? ”

The sergeants who led the way were already frightened enough after seeing the bloodstains they were carrying, and now they were sweating profusely when they were surrounded by a circle of people questioning them, and they almost rolled off their horses.

Seeing that these people did not speak, Tao Zhutu lost his temper, drew a knife to the neck of one of them, and asked:

"What about you, are you dumb?"

The sergeant was held to his neck with a knife by the peach rabbit, and the sweat was frozen on his face and he couldn't move.

But the Beijing army is the Beijing army, although this face is scary, but at least the life has not been lost, the sergeant stretched out his finger and broke the blade of the peach rabbit, and said softly:

"Third Master Tao, we have something to discuss, don't move the knife if you have no grievances or hatred."

The group of people who came back from Shouchun had already killed the red eyes, and now no one stopped them when they saw Tao Zhutu moving the knife, and Tao Zhutu added a force to his hand and said:

"If you don't want me to use a knife, then speak, who will let open the city gate? Who lets drink the wine? “

The sergeant swallowed and spat, and said:

"It's King De, I think I know it's King De with my toes, how dare we do this without an order from above?"

Peach Rabbit then asked:

"Why did King Nade do this?"

The sergeant replied:

"King De usually lives in a simple place, yesterday afternoon somehow came out of the green building, when the street carried a head and said that the thief Kou Tianwang has been beheaded by him, the thief Kou has been exterminated, and ordered the city to drink for three days to celebrate."

Peach Chase Rabbit scolded his mother when he heard this, he looked back at his two elder brothers, Peach Chase Tiger and Peach Chase De were both angry because of King De's behavior of snatching merit,

But now is not the time to gossip, and Peach Rabbit asked again:

"Drink happily, why are passers-by drunk like this?"

The sergeant replied:

"Because King De ordered that all restaurants and restaurants in the city provide free wine and food within three days, and all those who dare to violate the order or close their shops during this period and do not accept customers will be killed, and several restaurants have been beheaded last night."

Tao Zhutu smashed his tongue when he heard this, and asked:

"Then why open the gates at night?"

The sergeant replied:

"Because King De said that the whole world should celebrate, and the city gate was opened in order to attract visitors from all over the world and promote the prestige of our country."

Hearing this, Tao Zhutu only felt that his stomach was turning upside down, and he had been fighting outside for a long time, and he had actually forgotten the character of King De and his old man.

Peach Rabbit slowly let go of the sergeant, and the sergeant straightened his collar and said to Peach Rabbit:

"Tao Sanye, not only are you angry, we follow King De all the way to dare to be angry and dare not speak, after leaving Beijing, it is said that it is an expedition, but all day long accompany King De to the mountains to catch tigers, go into the water to catch sharks, King De plays every day, we have to endure the monstrous rain, not enough to eat, not warm clothes, not even a place to bake the fire at night, this line of thieves did not see, but it was the loss of a lot of brothers, we are also bitter! We also want to follow Wei Hou and Qi Hou to beg for thieves in front of the battle! “

The sergeant was about to cry as he spoke, but Tao Zhutu looked up at the sergeant, reached out and patted the other party's shoulder, just as comfort.

Qiu Xiaozhi and Qiu Wenruo both sighed when they heard it, and the father and son both looked back after changing their eyes, because King De did this, in the past, whether it was Lan Ziyi or Qi Rongxun, they would definitely jump to scold the street, but now the two of them are quiet on horseback behind them.

The father and son looked back, shook their heads and sighed again, because the current Lan Ziyi can only be described as a flying soul, the one riding on the horse is just an empty skin, and he has no reaction to the outside world at all, Qi Rongxun is a little better than Lan Ziyi, but he also looks haggard, and his face is like ashes.

These two heroic young generals have disappeared, the fiasco is too heavy for their age, and the loss of tens of thousands of people weighs on them so much that they can't breathe, Qiu Xiaozhi can understand the pain in the hearts of the two of them, but he will not acquiesce to the depression of the two of them, Lan Ziyi and Qi Rongxun crossed the river to the north and led hundreds of thousands of troops to be annihilated by thieves, and now they are sitting on the cusp of retreating alone, and the eyes of the ministers in the court are staring at the backs of the two, how to give the court an explanation is not only about the lives of the two, It is also related to the feudal town where the family behind the two is located.

For Qiu Xiaozhi, what he really needs to care about is Lan Ziyi, but Lan Ziyi's situation is the worst, now it is possible for Lan Ziyi to be hit by this defeat and go crazy, but then again, if you want to become a real general, you must have an indestructible soul, and the pain at the moment can indeed strangle people, but if you stop there, how can you succeed?

Qiu Xiaozhi exchanged a look with his son again, both father and son had concern and concern for Lan Ziyi in their eyes, but Qiu Xiaozhi was a little more worried, and Qiu Wenruo had a little more sympathy,

After the three Tao brothers finished asking, they all glanced back at Lan Ziyi, wanting to get instructions for the next step, but seeing that the three Lan Ziyi brothers who were like ashes behind them were reluctant to ask any more questions, Lan Ziyi's heart was the pain in the hearts of the three people, seeing their young master become like this, the three of them kept bleeding outward as if they had been cut open.

In the end, Tao Zhuhu sighed and said to the sergeant who led the way:

"Take us to meet Grandpa Yu."

Then Tao Zhuhu added:

"Hurry up and send someone to close the gates!"

Under the guidance of the sergeant who led the way, the group rode into the city gate on horseback and galloped on the streets of Luzhou.

In the city of Luzhou, there is a group of people who have not seen the fireworks in the market for a long time, and the colored exercises that have been hung up overnight are still floating between the houses in the city, but after a night of winding, the current colored exercises have no appearance, they are either hanging on the eaves like fallen leaves, or they are turned down by the men and women lying on the street to wrap themselves on the body as sleeping bedding, mixed with the muddy water on the ground into one dirty rag strip after another, it is estimated that when these drunks wake up, they will throw away these colored exercises wrapped around their bodies.

Although the sky is already bright, the lanterns all over the street are still lit, like the stars before the night recedes with the last bit of afterglow, such a spectacular light to see is estimated to be only on the fifteenth day of the first month,

After a night of revelry, the streets are full of drunk people, leftovers everywhere and drunken spitting out the fishy stuff in the corners, wild cats, wild dogs and even rats and mice are feasting in front of these "delicious", those who are still conscious are in groups of three or five to help each other around the filth of the street, and then blindly wander the streets, not knowing where to go, and those who open shops do not seem to have any intention of cleaning up the mess, everyone is drunk and dreaming of death, It's as if this ugliness will last forever.

The group of people on the horse looked at the embarrassed appearance around them and were distressed, if the people in the city drank like this, it would be fine, the important thing is that there are also those Beijing troops who came out to "fight" all over the streets and alleys.

The group urged Ma to come to the green building in the city first, and learned that only King De was here, and after the news that Gonggong Yu had returned to the palace, the group turned around and rushed to the palace.

After entering the palace, everyone naturally went straight to the back office, but was stopped by the Taicheng guard who was guarding outside, and the Taicheng guard told everyone,

Tao Zhuhu glanced at Lan Ziyi behind him, and found that he was still distracted, and looked at Qi Rongxun on the side, but what he saw was still a half-dead stinky skin, and Tao Zhuhu, who had no choice, had to head himself and said to Taichengwei:

"A few Wei Jun brothers, please tell Father-in-law Yu, just say that Wei Hou and Qi Hou have an urgent military situation to ask to see."

Taichengwei saw that these generals who were supposed to be on the front line in the north all appeared in Luzhou City, and knew that the big thing was not good, but their task was to protect Father-in-law Yu, so he didn't turn around and go in to report, but said:

"Tao Jialang, Wei Hou and Qi Hou should have received the two Hou Hou in person, but Father-in-law Yu served the prince for a night, and now he has just fallen asleep, and I will arrange for a few people to rest in the house first, and wait for Father-in-law Yu to sleep almost when I go in to report."

Tao Zhuhu clenched his fists again and made a deep whisk, and then said:

"This brother of the guard, a few of us are covered in blood and will not disturb Father-in-law Yu for no reason, and ask my brother to do a favor and go in and make an announcement, it is really important!"

He Taichengwei glanced at everyone again, and wanted to speak, but heard a sharp but majestic voice coming from inside the back office

"The footsteps are so heavy, the old man has long been woken up, come in."
