The firewood room in the backyard of the General Soldier's Mansion is not big, and Nangong Jin has been locked up in the firewood room for a day, doing nothing, but fortunately, someone will deliver food at the point. In fact, it was not difficult to go out, and Nangong Jin also hesitated, but finally decided not to run.

It was getting dark, and the old servant handed in a food box from the window, "Second son, eat." ”

Nangong Jin took it, "Thank you, Uncle Gen." "At the end of the day, I became acquainted with this old servant who was both a porter and a housekeeper.

"The second son is polite." Uncle Gen had a smile on his face.

"Uncle Gen, how is it now?" Nangong Jin opened the food box, and there was a bowl of vegetarian, meat and rice inside, which was not bad.

Uncle Gen lost a smile on his face and sighed, "Tartar is coming." It's time to come, and we've been stable for several years. There was no nervousness in the words, but a kind of calmness.

"Fighting?" Nangong Jin asked anxiously, wondering why she didn't hear the voice.

"Not yet. The city received food, and everyone was nervous. After all, it hasn't been like this in a few years. "This kind of thing, Uncle Gen has been in Tianchengwei for decades, but he has really seen a lot.

"Where's the Tartar?"

"The gates are closed, I don't know. However, when I heard it, it seemed that the city was under siege. Alas, let's surround it, anyway, it won't be long. Maybe people feel bored around and leave by themselves. Uncle Gen said this, feeling that everything was not so tense.

"So, when will you let me out?"

This sentence seemed to remind Uncle Gen, "Oh, the boss probably forgot about you." However, you can't escape, you can't escape from the General Military Mansion, and you can't escape from Tianchengwei. ”

Nangong Jin laughed, "I don't run." That is, can you trouble Uncle Gen, I have a little chief with me at the Longtai Inn, can you help talk to him, I'm afraid he will be in a hurry. ”

"No. There was a curfew, and there were only soldiers on the road. As long as your little entourage stays at the inn obediently, it's fine. Uncle Gen seemed to be bored, standing at the window, chatting for a long time, just waiting for Nangong Jin to finish the meal, and said that he would send the bed cover for one night.

Since receiving the supplies of the labor army, the camp outside the city has been lively.

It's just that Habuqik didn't expect that the labor army would be so good to say, and only three of the ten carts could be eaten. Han people, it's really not a thing!

Fortunately, Hangxin is not stupid, and only changed these that can be eaten. opened these ten carts of grain and rice in public, and I really couldn't laugh or cry.

Even if there was only such a small amount of grain and rice, the leaders of the various ministries did not intend to accept it, and the subsequent development was the same as Habqik envisioned. So, with a wave of his hand, after changing it for everyone, those leaders didn't say anything in the open, and secretly regarded Habqik as an idiot.

Habqik seemed to be in high spirits, and said loudly who would be the turn to attack the city tomorrow, and said that he had told the city that he would open the city in three days. I don't know why what he said, but no one really believed him.

However, no matter how lively the killing of pigs and sheep was, Bozhige did not participate, and he did not even ask for the grain, rice, pigs and sheep sent.

The high walls of Tianchengwei separated the two sides, eating and drinking on one side, and being lively on the other side, and silent and waiting on the other side.

The next day, the siege began.

Early in the morning, the Tatar army sent one or two hundred cavalry, rushed to the north gate, and began to shoot arrows. After a round of shooting, another batch came up, and so on all morning. Tianchengwei did not show weakness, the defenders of the north gate raised their bows to counterattack, and the other gates were waiting for them. However, I saw arrows in the air firing back and forth, but there were almost no casualties on both sides.

At noon, the Tatars first stopped their attack, only to see smoke rising from the camp. After lunch, it was like morning again. By dinner, it may be that it is not dark yet, and another round will come.

For three days in a row, the originally sparse atmosphere in Tianchengwei also relaxed. Bold people had already come out to see the situation on the streets, and there was no nervousness on their faces, only the curiosity of watching a play, and the chagrin of being trapped here.

And the regular wartime meetings held every day in the General Army's palace seem to have nothing to talk about. For three days, it was just a few words back and forth. Even Liang Lie was confused, what kind of play is this? Could it be that the boss has not arrived and is waiting for the main force? Although he had never fought in the north, as a soldier, Liang Lie knew in his heart that he must not relax at this time.

On this day, Chen Baishui hurriedly came to the General Military Mansion to discuss matters without even wearing armor, and in his eyes, he had long since regarded this Tatar siege as a meeting, and after sitting for less than a quarter of an hour, the regular meeting was dispersed again.

At the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion, Huang Huanbiao originally wanted to ask Chen Baishui to drink a few glasses, but was interrupted by Lin Fei.

"General Chen, I don't know if you're free? Come and sit with me? This is the third time Lin Fei has asked him out.

Chen Baishui looked at him impatiently, "General Lin is empty?" It's wartime, and I still have to train as soldiers. ”

Lin Fei laughed with him, "I know, but how to say this." Suddenly, his heart was crossed, and he said with a smile, regardless of whether he was at the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion or not: "Can you return the few military uniforms that General Chen borrowed last time?" After all, it is now ...... wartime. ”

"What did you say?" Chen Baishui hurriedly interrupted, and said helplessly: "I'll pay you back, go to my house to get it." ”

In Chen Baishui's house, Lin Fei asked Chen Baishui to return a few military uniforms, of course, "General Chen, the boss seems to know something." Before the door was closed, Lin Fei said in a hurry.

Chen Baishui's face was cold, "He told you clearly?" ”

"Not really."

"No, what are you afraid of?"

"But, yes, ......." Lin Fei looked at Chen Baishui and said hurriedly: "When will the Tartar retreat?" ”

Chen Baishui sat down and sighed, "You shouldn't ask me this question." ”

"General Chen, I'm afraid that as soon as the Tartars retreat, the boss will check the library," Lin Fei frowned, just wanting Chen Baishui to give him an idea.

Chen Baishui didn't seem to be afraid, "Don't worry, Liang Lie is not so uninteresting." As soon as the Tartar retreats, you fill the vault. ”

"Why, why did I fill in ......?" Lin Fei was unhappy, "This, General Chen, General Wu has been transferred, now, this matter is ......, I can only look for you." ”

Chen Baishui rolled his eyes, "I've never seen you so timid." Not only General Soldier Wu, which General Soldier do you say is not our all the way? Our Tianchengwei is a blessed land, you have to figure it out. ”

Seeing that Lin Fei was still stunned, he continued: "Hmph, let me be verbose, do you know where my cousin is?" After speaking, he didn't look at Lin Fei at all, and played with the jade ring he was wearing.

"The capital." Lin Fei's expression was no longer sluggish, "The squire of the military department." ”

Chen Baishui said angrily: "How many times have I said it, you still have to dwell on this matter." What to do and what to do, less to bother me. ”

Finally, Lin Fei took a few military uniforms and left the Chen Mansion.

These days have not been so easy for Tatars.

Because from the second day, people in various departments showed symptoms of poisoning, and at first they did not pay attention to it, until the fourth day, there were dead people in the camp, and hundreds of troops in a small part were actually killed. Only then did I find out that in the past few days, people have died in every small department, but only three major departments are fine.

Now, no matter who these small departments followed before, they all made a fuss.

Originally, the spearhead was aimed at Habuqik, but who knew that Habuqik actually said bitterly that it was the Han people who used the demon method of the White Lotus Sect to curse their subordinates. These words made the small army leader who followed Habuqik suspicious, after all, the Han people who claimed to be members of the White Lotus Sect that day were suspicious.

Next, Habuqik directly said that he wanted to avenge the death of his compatriots and ordered troops to attack Tianchengwei. In doing so, he made all the small departments believe him. Even Surig was a little skeptical about whether he was wrong, and only Bozhige always stood by coldly.

So, on the fourth day, just when the defenders of the Tiancheng Guard thought they were going to have to do their routine work again, they saw a dense crowd of Tatar cavalry outside the city.

**********

It's been a few days, and Nangong Jin is still locked up in the firewood room, but the old servant Uncle Gen has asked someone to help him go to the Longtai Inn to report a letter, and Baxi not only replied to the message, but also brought a change of clothes.

Although he knew that Liang Lie had forgotten him, he was not in a hurry when he saw that the servants in the house were doing as usual in the past few days. Uncle Gen came every day, talking about the weather to gossip, what General Chen failed to be promoted several times, and he was annoyed and angry; What General Feng is extremely high, and he is unpopular; General Xiao Lu is as his name suggests; As for the boss, he knew at a glance that he was a veteran, but he obviously hadn't fought against the Tartars. Uncle Gen actually knew about the Pingyang Nangong clan, but because of Nangong Jin's identity, he didn't make any comments. He even asserted that there must be a demon in the siege of the Tartars this time.

Listening to him talk about this every day is not boring, and Uncle Gen is also very happy to have someone to chat with him.

Early in the morning, Uncle Gen brought breakfast, and the two dined together through the window, and Uncle Gen was talking about the gossip of the previous general soldier. Nangong Jin suddenly interrupted him, "Uncle Gen, did you hear any sounds?" ”

Uncle Gen listened carefully, gradually frowned, hurriedly drank the rice porridge in his hand in a few sips, and said to Nangong Jin: "I'll take a look." ”

There didn't seem to be anyone in the General Soldier's Mansion, and the silence around made the sound louder and louder, and Nangong Jin obviously heard the shouting of killing. Uncle Gen has been gone for a long time, and Nangong Jin can't sit still. Finally, Uncle Gen ran back with a solemn face, and took out the key to open the door as soon as he arrived at the door.

"Second son, let's go." Uncle Gen said as he opened the door. "The Tartars are attacking the city, and the General Soldier's Mansion is too close to the city wall, so let's go."

"What about General Liang?" Nangong Jin went out and asked.

"It's already on the walls, not just the manager, everybody." Uncle Gen was anxious, "Second son, let's go." The manager must have forgotten you, and you're not guilty anyway. ”

"Thank you!" Nangong Jin gave a salute and left in a hurry.

In the past few days, Xu Baoshen and Yao Fangyu have been living in the backyard wing, and Liang Lie has never seen them, and he doesn't know why they came back.

Yao Fangwei was very anxious and kept inquiring about the war. However, as long as you know that Liang Lie is in the General Military Mansion, it may not be a big problem. To this day, shouts of killing are heard.

"Master." Yao Fangyu hurriedly ran to Xu Baoshen's room and knocked on the door, "Master......." ”

Xu Baoshen just got up, and he hasn't been out of the room much in the past few days, so he is considered to be recuperating. Hearing Yao Fangyu knock on the door, he opened the door when he was dressed neatly, "What's the matter?" ”

Yao Fangyu said nervously, "Master, I seem to hear something. ”

Xu Baoshen listened to it and shook his head, "No." ”

"Yes, it seems to be a shout of killing."

Xu Baoshen listened to it again and said with a smile: "It's General Liang who is training, don't be too nervous." "I'm afraid she won't believe it," a few days ago, you also went to ask, the Tartars besieged but not attacked, it was just a bluff, and no one in the general army's mansion was in a hurry. ”

Yao Fangyu looked at the direction outside the courtyard, and her expression was still a little worried. Xu Baoshen stretched out his hand and pulled her, "Come, play chess with Master." ”
