Unlike Chen Jun's one-night commotion, the night in Lingwu County was so quiet that the barking of cats and dogs was rarely heard.

As soon as the morning dawned, the two families of Bo Gulu and Lie Shiduo began to move to the city. They have their own houses in the city. The so-called big chaos in the countryside, small chaos in the city, the army of Dongxia came, they did not run to guard their manor, but showed signs of living in the city, which in the eyes of many people means something, plus the military management of the cultural staff concentrated the local officials, Dongxia sent soldiers to shout outside the city for a day, the people in the city also began to show their heads, and many of the people who showed their heads just ran to see if the officials of the yamen were on the government as usual.

The officials did not go to the office, the yamen was occupied by the base camp, and the soldiers also went in and out at night, where was there a place for the officials to stay?

The officials were sent out by the military to reassure the people.

They often walked around the streets of the city with a few Eastern Xia soldiers, or went out of the city and went to the countryside, and went everywhere to publicize the autumn of the Eastern Xia without committing any crimes.

There are some officials with good family backgrounds, who walk through the villages and alleys, crying without tears, and go to the countryside to ask for carriages, but when you enter the village, you still have to walk, let alone talk to people, and try your best to explain. They are tired of walking, they can't walk, they will unconsciously watch the Dongxia Kingdom follow their soldiers, only to see the feet with a pair of boots, dismounted, the pace and size are always the same, you deliberately rub, people will remind you to go fast, as if they really think that this little road is nothing, even if the official does not look at it, the order will be carried out.

However, these Eastern Xia soldiers also complained sometimes, and almost all of their complaints were in tune, and they would say to the officials: "We are all first-class elites in the first-class military palace, and we don't fight, but we are sent to follow you around." ”

Whether it is the city or the countryside, it seems that they have been stirred up by this burst of vitality.

There were also officials who got along well with the soldiers.

They can't help but ask about the situation in Dongxia, and when military secrets are not involved, the soldiers will not look arrogant, but for some reason, they always make people feel a kind of pride that they can't see in people from other countries, and they will tell you: "Chen Guo thinks that their country is big, our country is small, they are offensive, and we don't dare to say anything, what is the result, our king gave an order, and hundreds of thousands of troops came up." ”

When I went to the house of some rich people, the rich people would give some greeting gifts, and those soldiers would not look down on them, and when they were tired, they would have a cup of tea together, and these soldiers would buy them, and often even the officials' would buy them. With these soldiers, the officials swallowed at the coins given by the rich man, but they didn't dare to reach out and take them as usual, after all, the Eastern Xia Kingdom had entered Lingwu. In the future, if the county seat was governed by others, it would have been your chance to go up, but you coveted a few coins for small profits, and the soldiers went back to sue others, and your career was ruined.

The officials couldn't help but ask them, and they would proudly say: "Our king said that we are the king's master, and the king's master is the army that helps the poor and helps the poor, does the right thing for heaven, and does not commit any crimes in the autumn." What is called autumn without committing any crimes, even if you can't touch a single hair. We are a small country in Dongxia, and we rely on nothing to fight with Chen Guo, even if we don't touch a hair. If you get your hair, you will be unlucky, you will die and you will not be able to win. ”

They often say that the little officials are stunned.

The little officials felt that although these Dongxia people had a tendon, they were all innocent, which made people ashamed of themselves.

"Poverty alleviation and poverty alleviation, for the heavens, autumn has no crimes." It is estimated that these soldiers did not know what they meant, otherwise they would not have said anything unlucky, and they would not be able to win the battle if they got wet, but they did just do it, and when they saw a poor family, and saw slaves working in the fields in shackles, their eyes were full of sympathy.

But I don't know what's going on, because of these impressions, many officials have a strange feeling that it is impossible for the Chen people to win against Dongxia, and they can no longer rule Lingwu County.

Bo Gulu Tai Sui was the first to enter the city.

After entering the city, when the people have not yet come to their senses, people carry baskets of money, knock on those houses facing the street, and discuss buying shops without saying a word.

After buying four or five of them, people woke up and no one sold them to him anymore.

Turning around along the street, he met Shi Jingzhong halfway, and Shi Jingzhong held a fan to point at him. The two of them took the servants around them into a teahouse that was open with a closed door, but they slapped their hands on the door, let people open the business, and said: "The Dongxia soldiers don't disturb the people, tell you, when we entered the city, the streets of the city gate were all sleeping with Dongxia soldiers, and people would rather sleep on the street than occupy private houses. What about closing the door and only letting acquaintances in? Be open and do business. ”

The person who opened the teahouse was also a rich man, and there was a woman in the family who had been ruined, and he hated Chen Guo so much that he immediately opened a table, served some refreshments, and sat with the two.

The two did not shy away from it, and exchanged views on the spot.

Bo Gulu Tai Sui leaned his head and said mysteriously: "I heard that yesterday Chen Guo drove back tens of thousands of troops from Gaonu, but before the city arrived, it was defeated by the army of Eastern Xia. Then he said: "The Huatai family and the Yan family have already sent the child, but your family will not send it." ”

Shi Jingzhong has not yet spoken.

But the rich man who sat with him opened his eyes wide and shouted, "Yes." ”

A voice came from the door: "Why are you willing to open the door?" ”

The rich man stood up at once, walked a few steps to the door, and greeted him warmly, "It turned out to be Master Yan." He moved his feet, and briskly went to greet those who came in.

Bo Gulu Tai Sui turned his head and saw that it was Yan Huaihui, the patriarch surnamed Yan, who had not worn Yong clothes for many years, but he was still opposed, and said disdainfully: "It turned out to be him." I'd rather get closer to the Slide family. Lao Mu is really good, and he is also affectionate when he sees him. ”

Shi Jingzhong lowered his voice and said, "Lao Mou is a good person, but in his eyes, they are a family. ”

He's right.

The rich man Lao Mu went over, blindly looked at Yan Huaihui's clothes, was busy looking at the seat, and said, "Master Yan, have you changed your outfit?" You're optimistic about it, too. ”

Yan Huaihui didn't go to the seat he was looking at, but walked to Bo Gulu Tai Sui and Shi Jingzhong, and Bo Gu Lu Tai Sui almost left with his body.

Unlike him, Shi Jingzhong hurriedly got up to greet him.

Yan Huaihui came and asked, "You two, didn't you send the child?" So, you still don't think well of Dongxia? ”

Lao Mu hung behind him and was about to speak, but Bo Gulu Tai Sui changed his mouth, and said, "Ahh ”

Shi Jingzhong glanced at Bo Gulu Tai Sui in surprise, but his behavior was the same, and he sighed and said: "The people in the family have entered the Chen State Mansion, and there are many troops, so I am afraid of being implicated." ”

Yan Huaihui said: "Yes. ”

He waved his hand and sent Lao Mu aside.

Lao Mu stood aside very shamelessly, looking at them with a drooping face. Yan Huaihui pulled a stool and sat down, his face was not as low as before, and he was even a little proud, and said: "I am not optimistic about Dongxia like you, what did the Tuoba Khan of Chen State rely on to defeat such a country?" relied on archery and horse archery, but Dongxia was supported by the imperial court. The imperial court has not been able to defeat Chen Guo for so many years, can the lackeys supported by the imperial court be able to beat it? ”

Bo Gulu Tai Sui agreed with "oh oh" and said with a smile: "We are right to think so. Do you think so too? You're a Yong. ”

Yan Huaihui didn't show any shame, and said with a smile: "There is no way. The court is not angry, and we are not to blame. ”

Shi Jingzhong also began to be bad, sighed and said: "I heard that Dongxia won the battle again, you said this on purpose, shouldn't you sell our two families to Dongxia as soon as you turn around?" ”

Yan Huaihui said repeatedly: "How come? How so? How could I be such a person? In my opinion, Dongxia wins, that's a fake victory, why did he win? His armies are all soft, not fierce, can an army that is not fierce win a battle? Look at the army of the Chen State, like a wolf and a tiger, robbing and killing...... Bad. If the army is fierce, it will be strong. He can't win in Eastern Xia, he now occupies Lingwu, it is the army of Chen State that has moved east, he fights to the west, and Chen Guo fights in his old nest. ”

Bo Gulu Tai Sui let out another "oh".

Shi Jingzhong was like eating maggots, he was disgusted and uncomfortable, and there were such people, the people were deeply poisoned, he actually felt that the army was burning and looting, and the fierce was powerful. He didn't want to associate with this person at all, so he said, "Then you are not optimistic, you still send the child out?" ”

Yan Huaihui didn't speak, his eyes were aimed at their refreshments, he stretched out his hand, just raised his hand reservedly, and went to probe, when the old Mu monkey not far behind him jumped up, picked up the refreshment, moved his position, and said with a slight smile: "I remember." This snack is broken, and I can't eat it. Master Yan, what, you go to another place, the weather is good today, I will open the meeting door, it is breathable, and I will clean the hall later, there is too much ash, I am afraid of disturbing your old man's house. ”

Bo Gulu Tai Sui said, "Yes." Sweep, I see the truth, I will add money to you. ”

Yan Huaihui stood up, suspicious, and asked Bo Gulu Tai Sui in disbelief: "Young Master Tai Sui." Do you buy? In the chaos, you buy? ”

Bo Gulu Tai Sui waved his hand to let him go, and said lightly: "I won't buy it, I won't buy it, do you ask for something, don't wait for the bid to disrupt the situation, go quickly, go quickly." ”

At the signal, his servant lifted the basket he had chosen, and half a basket of coins.

Yan Huai was gone, and Lao Mu was still angry, so he wiped the place where he had sit.

Bo Gulu Tai Sui sneered: "I'm ashamed of you." Come to him. That's right. You old boy can't get used to our two families, and thinks that our two families have Hu blood, what is the result? That's you. Yongren. As he spoke, he twisted Lao Mou's fat face. Lao Mu didn't hide, and when he finished twisting, he slapped his other fan and said, "Slap me in the face for you." ”

Shi Jingzhong said: "I really haven't heard that the soldiers and horses have not committed any crimes, but they can't fight." This old boy has read all the books in the dog's stomach? ”

Bo Gulu Tai Sui said: "I don't think we have a vision for the slide, and from beginning to end, we stick it directly up." It's a pity that Dongxia said that he wanted to return Lingwu to the imperial court, and he could relocate, but our two families couldn't give up their ancestral business. ”

As he was talking, there were several carriages at the door, and a few people flashed in, stood by the door and watched, and whispered: "The officials of Dongxia." You see, a child of twelve or thirteen years old is riding a big horse. ”

A few people also rushed to the door, this line of cars rode very slowly, a little girl in palace clothes lifted the carriage curtain to look out, surrounded by young people riding horses, one of them was twelve or thirteen years old, wearing half a cuirass, Yongfu Zaijue, holding a horsewhip.

The two thought of the child they met outside the city, and they both thought that the Dongxia generals had a tradition of taking children to the battlefield.

The car rode away, and the people at the door were still dispersing, and there were many discussions: "Is there no soldier in Dongxia in the country, and such a big child is sent to the battlefield?" These children are not bad-looking, pompous, well-dressed, and polite to ask for directions. It would be a shame to go to war. ”

The people's speculation came into their ears, and Shi Jingzhong also felt like it.

He was thinking, could this be the reason why Yan Huaihui judged that Chen Guo could be defeated in the end?

Suddenly, the people moved to both sides, Shi Jingzhong was startled, it turned out that a few Dongxia soldiers followed a small official An Min, and saw a shop suddenly open and rushed over. The people were still afraid, and they first dispersed, and then left one after another. The little official saw that it had been a day, this was the next day, or walking around, and he wanted to rest when he saw the place, but he used the excuse of talking to Lao Mu and got in.

Several Eastern Xia soldiers also walked in, their swords shorter than those in the public gate, stuck at their waists, and their hands holding them, despite squeezing their smiles, still making people feel murderous.

Only people like Bogulu Tai Sui dare to approach them.

Bo Gulu Tai Sui came up and asked: "I passed a carriage just now, and I saw that all the people riding on the horses were children, all twelve or thirteen years old, did you Dongxia send such young children to the battlefield?" ”

Several Eastern Xia soldiers glanced at each other.

One of the soldiers who didn't look so rough said: "We in Dongxia are the people of the country who die, and we will not recruit children under the age of fifteen, do you think our king is a poor soldier?" ”

He already looks delicate, like a literati, but when he said a word, he choked Bo Gulu Tai Sui half to death.

Only Bo Gulu Tai Sui can talk to them.

Bo Gulu Tai Sui said: "I saw them passing by just now, and they were clearly twelve or thirteen years old. ”

A few Eastern Xia soldiers said "impossible".

They also spoke to each other.

One of them said, "Just passed? Could he be talking about it? How many adopted sons of the king? ”

The other said, "Yes." Like, yes. ”

Bo Gulu Tai Sui was shocked.

He wanted to continue asking, but he didn't ask again, as if he understood, he turned around and said, "It turns out that Dongxia is not allowed to go to the battlefield under the age of fifteen, you have all heard it." Damn. said that there was no one in the Eastern Xia Kingdom...... The one who said this first must be Chen Guo's spy, don't follow along. ”

Of course, he did it on purpose, and he also wanted a few Eastern Xia soldiers to follow and ask who said it first, and then burn Yan Huaihui's body.

Unexpectedly, a few Dongxia soldiers did not trace the source, but said: "Our son also came with soldiers, if you see it, don't you say that we all went to the battlefield at the age of eight?" ”

Although Da Da Erhu was not canonized, his aunt was already the queen of the country before he was sent to the army, and when everyone talked about it in private, they all called him the son of the world.

Bo Gulu Tai Sui was silent, and when he saw Lao Mu coming to serve tea, he also held a cup and served it, but he asked: "It is said that the king of Dongxia is the Yong clan." Is he? ”

He asked, his curiosity boundless.

The Dongxia soldier who took his tea said: "Our king is indeed yes, but in our Dongxia, there are no ethnic groups, and there are all ethnic groups. Our Praetorian Guard generals are all white-headed people, so it's boring to ask less questions like you. ”

Bo Gulu Tai Sui was happy in his heart, and said sincerely: "I have no malice, I myself am a Hu person with Yong blood." ”

The soldiers were leaving, and he wanted to follow.

Shi Jingzhong grabbed him from behind, and he was still waving to people, shouting: "Yongren also have bad people. Hu people also have good people, next year I will go to the Central Plains, I will find someone to evaluate. ”

The soldier who led the team, who looked like a literati, turned around and responded to him: "Our Dongxia has a fairer ceremony for selecting talents than the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, and you can also go to our Dongxia to find a background." ”

Bo Gulu Tai Sui's face turned red and he was elated.

Shi Jingzhong poured a basin of cold water and reminded him: "Those words you asked are dangerous, do you know? One day, you will die on your mouth. ”
