The whole Chang'an was under martial law, and the people outside the city dragged their families to the city, crying while walking, crying and scolding. All that could be harvested in the field was harvested, and all that could not be harvested was burned by fire. For a while, the atmosphere was so tense that the air condensed, and a big war was about to break out.

Since ancient times, there have been many heroes in Guanzhong, countless men silently carried their bags, said goodbye to their parents, wives and children, took their weapons to report to Fang Zheng, and then reported to the court by Fang Zheng, good men have made contributions at this moment.

The people of Caijia Village pushed the grain and walked along the streets of Chang'an with the crowd. They didn't scold like the others, but most of the villagers had a deep sadness on their faces. They are not afraid of starvation, and the food in their hands is enough for them to eat for a long time, but it has been four days, and the people who were taken away have not heard from them at all, and now they are in chaos, so how can they laugh?

"Huang Si, Datong, you two pick up your things and roll them for me." When they walked to Qinrenfang, a roar caught everyone's attention.

When he looked over, he found a gray-haired old man, pointing at two fourteen or fifteen-year-old young men who were drinking heavily. The old man's clothes fit well, and his face is also shiny, and he looks like a master who has a good life. The two young men stood stubbornly in yellow linen clothes, carrying bags and wooden sticks, without saying a word.

"You, you, did you two hear me, get out of here." The old man was so angry that he shook his fingers and told them to get out of here.

At this time, a woman stumbled out of an alley, and cried out, "Son! You can't go! When you fight, the sword doesn't have long eyes, if you have three long and two short, how can you live? ”

At this time, the two young men were finally moved, dropped their things and ran over to help the woman, hugged their heads and cried. The woman's cry is heartbreaking.

"You two unconscionable brutes, just thinking about making achievements, but have you ever thought that when you leave, who will take care of the blind old lady at home? Brute ......"

The old man seemed to have a great sense of justice, and he didn't know where to find a stick, so he pumped it on the backs of the two teenagers without even thinking about it. At this time, the onlookers realized that although the woman's eyes looked normal, she had lost focus, and she was blind! Looking at the two teenagers again, everyone had a look of disdain, and filial piety came first!

"Master Fangzheng begs you not to beat them, they are all children, and they are not sensible." The woman clutched her hands and spoke anxiously. A trace of unbearability flashed in the old man's eyes, and he snorted angrily before throwing the wooden stick on the ground.

The two teenagers were pumped so much, but they didn't say a word. At this time, he said softly to the woman: "Mother, my son is reluctant to let you go, but now that the Turks are coming, I heard that I will come to Chang'an soon." More than 100,000 Turkic soldiers and horses! And Chang'an is afraid that it will be dangerous this time, if Chang'an City is broken by the Turks, you say that we are not the same to die, Sister A's family will also suffer at that time, and the villagers in Chang'an City will also suffer. Although my two brothers are insignificant, they have also read the books of sages, and they are in a dilemma of loyalty and filial piety, and at the moment of national crisis, they can't take care of their small family, don't blame us. ”

After the young man finished speaking, he kowtowed his head to the woman, and tears flowed on the faces of the two, crying like a baby in confinement.

The whole street was lonely and speechless, silently watching the mother and son cry bitterly. After a long time, the blind woman said resolutely with a crying voice: "Master Fangzheng, take these two children away!" The little woman shrunk her clothes and dieted for the two of them to study, so that they could know right from wrong and understand the truth, and now what they said is right, I can't stop them. ”

Very simple words, there are no shocking words, but they make the people present awe-inspired.

"The old man has a long knife in his house, which was left by his deceased many years ago, and I have sent someone to fetch it for you. They are all good men, and if my old man knows about it, he will only applaud him. An old man in a Confucian robe stepped out of the crowd and looked at the two teenagers and said appreciatively.

"You two can go with confidence! This is a stone of grain, left for this eldest sister, if there is a lack of food and clothing in the future, I will send it again. It was Cai Gang who said this, he didn't have such great courage, and no matter how moved he was, he didn't dare to send 100 catties of grain. It's just that when Sister Cai saw this scene, she couldn't help but think of Cai Cong, who didn't know the situation, and felt empathy for taking out so much food.

This is just a microcosm of the thousands of scenes of living beings in Chang'an City, what should I do after being moved. It is not easy for hundreds of people to find a place to live, the streets are crowded with people, those who can go to their relatives, and most of the rest are staying in temples or on the streets.

The people of Caijia Village have found a temple with food, and the old and weak women and children live in the temple, while the men sleep in the open space wrapped in quilts, which is much better than most of the displaced people.

"Gangzi! It's settled down for the time being. You take a few people to inquire about what is the situation of Cong'er and the others, this life has to see people, and death has to see corpses! Sister Cai said helplessly, and the relatives of the other detainees also looked at Gangzi expectantly.

It is said that if you can't get into the official gate and die, in the minds of ordinary people, if you are arrested by the government, how can you have nothing to do?

"It's not easy to do!" Right Wuwei is in the imperial city, I went there yesterday, and I was bombed away without even approaching the gate. It is said that it is a special period, and the right military guard is a military stronghold, and no one is allowed to approach. Gangzi said with an embarrassed face, it's not that he hasn't been there, but with his identity, he has to be interrogated seven or eight times on the way into the imperial city, and as soon as he gets close to these places that are related to the soldier's belt, he will be bombarded away, and he will be beaten if he walks two steps slowly.

"What can I do then? I'll tell you the truth, I'm so flustered! At night, I always dream that my son is crying and saying that he is in pain. "Sister Cai is also helpless, what can she do as a woman?

"Ahem...... Tomorrow you go with twenty taels of silver, don't rush into other people's yamen, guard somewhere. When he saw that the errand inside had come out, he went up and invited people to eat and drink, and if there was any news of Cong'er, he would give them ten taels of silver. Even if people can't get out, you have to know what happened to them. ”

The old man didn't know when he came, and he coughed. Hearing Cai Gang's distressed trembling, he invited someone to eat and drink, and gave ten taels of silver, if the whole village might not have been able to make up so much money before, and now he gave it out like this, he couldn't help but feel distressed!

"Is life more important or money more important? I'm telling you, be clever when the time comes, and don't be reluctant to pay for it. Something went wrong, see how I clean you up. When the old man saw Cai Gang's childish appearance, he was angry, and patted him hard.

"Patriarch, please rest assured! I can still tell the difference between that and that. Don't be angry, just now Xiao Liuzi didn't know where to get honey, I asked him to send you some moisturizing throat. Gangzi said with a smile, and in a blink of an eye, he sold the guy named Xiao Liuzi to please the old man.

Early the next morning, Cai Gang carried more than 20 taels of silver and went out with two men who were three big and five thick. The three of them didn't do anything, bought some cooking cakes, and sat on the stall outside the right Wuwei Gate, and sat all day.

Right Wuwei is coming in and out at the moment, it is a crowd of people, Li Jing is the generalissimo of soldiers and horses at the moment, commanding all the soldiers and horses. Li Ji was ordered by him to stay in Chang'an, both of them are military wizards, if there is really a fight with the Turks, Li Ji is responsible for the backup, Li Jing will rest assured.

When the sun was setting, two tired people in civilian clothes walked out of the right guard, one with a long face and big eyes, and the other strong, Kong Wu. Cai Gang immediately stuffed half of the cake in his mouth into his arms, greeted him and said with a smile: "The two brothers are polite, can you take a step to speak?" ”

If he said such a crepe, he had learned it for a night to speak so smoothly. He has seen these people several times today, all of them are wearing the robes of the guards, and now they have changed into civilian clothes. It shows that these people have a bit of status, otherwise who doesn't go home and change their clothes?

The two of them glanced at each other, with an elusive smile on the corner of their mouths, these three people had been sitting at the door for a day, how could they not notice it?

The tall, thin, big-eyed, long-faced man said, "We brothers are very busy, and we will take a step to speak, but it will take a lot of time." "It doesn't matter if he's a spy or not, it's the right thing to knock him on first, Long Face thought to himself.

"I understand this, I understand this. Why don't we go to the front where Keyun comes to eat and talk? Small meaning, there will be a good reward afterwards. Cai Gang said and took the hand with a long face, and stuffed two taels of silver into his hand without a trace. He saw that the one with the long face was the one who took the lead.

"Keyun is here! The price of food in that place is not low! Get! Brother, someone is invited to eat, and if you don't eat for nothing, you won't eat. The long face stuffed the money into the cuffs, and said with a deflated look.

"Again, if you don't eat it, you're a fool." Kong Wu's man and his long face were hooked shoulders and backs, not caring about the three people walking behind him at all. In their business, they eat by their eyes. No matter how Cai Gang pretended, his restraint and humility that penetrated deep into the bone marrow were seen at a glance.

In this world, the business of the restaurant is not as good as before, and there are a few tables of people sitting sparsely. Cai Gang picked a position by the window, slapped his palms with a long face and said with a smile: "Okay!" I like the position by the window, listening to the wind and rain on the first floor, and looking down on Jianghu Road. It's a pity that the window position on the first floor is for people to sit on, and it can only be on the second floor. ”

"Yes, yes, I like this sentence the most. This brother is coming! Man, what's the best food and drink? The stout man was not polite, and sat down to rush at the guys in the shop.

"Little brother, pick up a few specialties from your store, and give us ten catties of wine. A certain most admired is a learned person, the brother just two lines of poetry, a good poem when you hear it, a certain to pay tribute to the brother a few cups. ”

Although Cai Gang is not shrewd, he still understands the sophistication of human feelings, and immediately the long face of a sycophant is comfortable, and it is much more pleasing to the eyes to see Cai Gang and the others.

Cai Gang was not in a hurry to explain his intentions, a group of five people ate wine and chatted about the things of Tiannan and Haibei, after three rounds, ten catties of wine made the five big men blush, and their tongues were floating, the wine of this era is not high, but the resistance of people in this era to alcohol is not high, and it is almost the same for normal people to drink two catties.

"Brother Cai, I won't dare to ...... anything else. But, what is in this right martial guard, Fang Mouduo, more or less some methods, you say, what are you looking for our brothers? ”

The long face patted his chest, and he said with a big bag, people! After drinking two or two, I felt that I could do anything, my head was clear, but my mouth was not tight at all.

"That is, no matter what our brothers say, they are also working under the captain...... Hehe, as long as the offense is not particularly serious, Tongbao can still help you get it out. The stout man still has a trace of sobriety, but the pride when he speaks can't be restrained.

Cai Gang, who had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, still had a trace of drunkenness? He didn't dare to pour any more wine into the two of them, for fear that the two of them would completely lie down, so one of them poured a bowl of soup and handed it over and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal." Our village, recently made some money, Cai Ge'er asked us to buy more food, but I didn't expect the government to say that we were hoarding food, with bad intentions, so the villagers who bought grain were arrested, and Brother Cai came to theorize and was also arrested. I just wanted to ask if the two brothers could help get people out? There must be a good reward in our village. ”

"Hah...... No, it's not easy, and it's not... No... Nope."

"Don't dare to get it, hoarding grain is hanging with rebellion, who dares to wade into this troubled water?" The long face was already confused, and the big tongue couldn't say the whole thing, and it was still a stout man's words.

Cai Gang was anxious when he heard this, and ran to the stout man in a panic, took out all the silver coins on his body and said, "We give money, brother, you have to help!" You say how much money, we must make up. ”

The stout man looked at the silver with drunken eyes, and said disdainfully, "What is money?" There is a master who has also hoarded food, and he hasn't come out yet! Obediently, Lord Guogong has to give three points when he sees that master, so that master is still staying in Zuo Wuwei! You powerless ...... It's dead."

Saying that, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Cai Gang and the three of them with disdain, and then said lively: "Buy a few better coffins, prepare some needles and threads, and wait to collect their corpses!" Old side, old side, after drinking, let's go! ”

"Ahh Finished drinking? Then let's go! Brother Cai! When you turn around, you must come to the humble house as a guest, and I invite you to drink. The long face was shaken awake, and he grabbed Cai Gang's shoulder in a daze and said enthusiastically.

Cai Gang was like being struck by lightning at the moment, his eyes were blank, and he couldn't say a word. The only words that echoed in my mind were 'dead'.
