Chapter 60: The Rooster Cries 2

According to the Zhou system, the wall of the princes shall not exceed eighteen feet, and eighteen feet is just three plates rammed. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the rites collapsed, and the walls of various countries gradually increased due to war, and Confucius fell into the three capitals. The Chu State possessed the Mulberry Tunnel from the destruction of Cai by King Chu Ling, and finally the battle of the Hanging Sand of King Huai of Chu, and the wall of the Mulberry Tunnel has been eighteen feet for more than two hundred years.

Within a few years of Wei's occupation of the Mulberry Tunnel, Qin drove out Korea within Fangcheng and monopolized the Nanyang Basin. The Qin State valued agriculture over commerce, and this trade road became scarce from then on, and the capital of the Wei State was still in Anyi at that time, and the Qin State was separated from the Yellow River, and there was no concern to add a high city wall to the southern border town, so the Mulberry Tunnel in front of Xiong Jing was a small city with low walls and not wide yi.

Long after the rooster crowed, when the sky was still about to dawn, the gate of the mulberry tunnel slowly opened. As soon as the Yi gate opened, the hoof sound of 'da-da-da, da-da-......da' suddenly came, and the dozing old Maiyi pawn had not yet figured out the situation, and the light cavalry led by Yu Jing rushed through the city gate like a wind and rushed to the Yiling Mansion. Soon after Fei Jing rushed into the city, the cavalry chief Shangguan Xiao came out on horseback and invited Xiong Jing to enter.

"That's ...... Unplugged? Xiong Jing was a little surprised by Fei Jing's speed, and he felt that there was always a fight inside.

"Your Majesty, the order has been lowered." Shangguan said, "Please enter the city." ”

"No." Xiong Jing agreed, he looked behind him, all the wounded who could ride horses were helped onto the horses, and those who could not ride were carried on the back of the horses, everyone was tired, and the eyes that looked at Sang Tunnel were full of longing. "Let's go!" He waved his hand, and instead of riding into the city, he ran behind the group and walked with them.

Before capturing the city, everyone walked a few miles, and there were still three or four miles away from the Mulberry Tunnel, and when Xiong Jing arrived at the Yimen, Fei Jing was going out of the city to report back. "The king, all the soldiers who can fight go to Shangcai, and only the old and weak women and children are left in the whole city."

"Release the scout and be on guard everywhere, especially ......" As soon as Xiong Jing entered the city, he thought of the fragrant food, and thought of the soft bed, he seemed to have no strength to finish the sentence, and just wanted to sleep and eat again.

"The minister knows." Fei Jing Road. "The minister has sent detectives to investigate everywhere, and the minister also asked to send knights to the Chu realm to report the news?"

The Mulberry Tunnel is in the north of Yiyi, and Yiyi is in the north of Xixian. chose to settle in the Sang Tunnel because he was worried about the pursuit of the Qin army, but the Sang Tunnel was not a place to stay for a long time, and Fei Jing just wanted to return to China as soon as possible.

"Yes." Xiong Jing nodded, the carrier pigeon is released every day, but it would be great if he could contact Yingdu directly. He nodded and entered the city. At this time, the wounded had already settled in the city, and when Xiong Jing rode into this small city that was only one and a half miles long, the first thing he saw was the edict that was pleading, and he and the servants behind him had been pausing, and every time they passed a person, they paused and shouted for mercy. The healer kicked him weakly and told him to find something, and he went respectfully.

There are only 100 households in the wasteland, low walls, and thatched huts, and each of them has closed its doors and windows, but there seems to be someone peeping in fear in the cracks of the doors; There was no one in the streets, only a yellow dog staring at the knight on his horse, wanting to bark but not daring to bark. Someone in the distance barked boldly, and the yellow dog fled, making a few hmm-huh as he ran.

"Please come to the Imperial Palace." Xiong Jing saw the cities of other countries for the first time, but Chang Jiang had no interest in the cities, and he only had the king in his eyes.

"Where are the wounded?" Xiong Jing turned his head to look at the Yi Ling Mansion. Although the Yi is small, there are all sparrows, and the Yi Ling Mansion under the roof of Sia is dilapidated, but it is more majestic than the dwellings. Seeing that some of the injured were lying outside the Yiling Mansion, Xiong Jing didn't want to enter the mansion.

"Go. Call that Yi Yin, drive everyone out, and vacate the house. Then boil water, kill dogs, kill chickens, cook rice...... Xiong Jing didn't want his subordinates to lie on the street, he would rather drive everyone in the whole town out of the house. "Also, remember to pay them."

"Yui." The army has its own discipline, and more importantly, the children of the clan do not want to live in the houses of the common people, for fear of losing their identity. There is a king's order and it is different, the king orders like this, and the knights dare not disobey.

Xiong Jing finished instructing the city to start chickens and dogs jumping, and the Yi Ling said that the common people just didn't dare to open the door, and as soon as he smashed the door, there were screams of women and children, and the door smashed open and the knight rushed in, and soon carried the people out like chickens and threw them on the wasteland in the city. In less than half an hour, five or six hundred people (mainly women and children) gathered in the whole town, cowering and crying.

"Stop! Stop! Don't meet the nobles of the Chu State, and don't meet the nobles of the Chu State...... Yi Ling saw that Xiong Jing, who was riding on a horse, was about to step forward to speak, waving his hand like a traitor translator to silence everyone, but these people not only didn't listen to him, but they resisted and cried even more miserably.

Xiong Jing was also annoyed by the cries of these people, so he had no choice but to order Yi: "I will stay in the Mulberry Tunnel for a few days, and I will leave in a few days." To do this, it is necessary to requisition corn, vegetables, chickens and dogs from each household, and someone must cook rice and boil water and clean the beds. ...... before leaving"

Xiong Jing motioned to Chang Jiang beside him, Chang Jiang took out a piece of yellow gold cake from his arms, and when he saw the gold cake, Yi Ling's eyes straightened, and the woman's cry was much quieter.

"You'll pay before you leave." Xiong Jing sensed the power of the golden cake, and he remembered the wages of the coal miners, and said, "I am willing to cook rice and boil water for me and other people, fifty yuan a day; Those who are willing to clean the houses and beds for us will pay 100 dollars a day; Corn, a bucket of ten dollars; wine, fifty dollars a bucket; Chicken, a hundred dollars; dogs, five hundred dollars each; Pig, a thousand dollars. Can you have a wisher? ”

Xiong Jing said, Yi Ling repeated it again, and now the crying finally stopped, and the eyes that looked at him were both uneasy and curious. At this time, a very discordant voice sounded, and said: "I wait for the Wei people, how can I give the Chu people as servants?" ”

The person who spoke was very backbone, it was a woman, she hid in the crowd, and when she saw that the people who came did not kill, but paid for it, so she had the courage to speak out against it. Of course, Xiong Jing knew how to deal with this kind of person, and he shouted: "Drag it out and kill it!" ”

"Come out!" Two wolf-like knights rushed into the crowd and dragged the woman out of the room. The woman who can say this kind of thing is naturally not a commoner, when riding and dragging people, several domestic servants protect each other desperately, and one of them also drew a copper sword, but the copper sword can't pierce the huge armor, and several people even crawl with a roll, chasing the knight out of the crowd.

"The nobleman spares his life, the nobleman spares his life." An elderly servant knew that he wanted to sue Xiong Jing, and rushed over and paused. "The daughter-in-law of the contemptible family is young, please remember the father-in-law and spare the daughter-in-law's life."

"Doctor Gongsun?" People who have never heard of it, Xiong Jing looked at the female son who was dragged out again, she was quite handsome, and her age seemed to be younger than Qi Xuan, although she was afraid, her eyes were still staring straight over, with unyielding. With a choking sound, the knight drew his cavalry sword, and the bright light of the sword frightened the women to scream again, but the woman only bit her thick lips, and her eyes changed a little, without begging for mercy.

"Slow!" Although he knew that he wanted to kill Liwei, but to kill such a woman, Xiong Jing still couldn't bear it. He shouted slowly, and the knight with his sword looked at him, puzzled.

"Send it to the house." Xiong Jing said a very manly word.

"Yui." No one dared to question that the king was not a man, and the knight immediately put away his sword and saluted to pull the man away.

"Also," Xiong Jing had not finished speaking, and he pointed to the servant who was stunned, "If this man is loyal, he will die on behalf of his master." ”

"Yui." Another knight walked up, and before the servant could react, he stabbed the servant in the back of the chest, and when he drew the knife, blood burst out, and the scene was screaming again, and Yi Ling trembled all over, and his eyes were no longer as red as they were just now.

For some people, grace and power are useful. After the killing, Yi Ling and several of his servants began to assign women to clean the house, boil water and cook rice, and the assigned people did not obey. In less than an hour, the wounded lying outside the Yiling Mansion were carried into the newly made bed, drinking the freshly cooked chicken soup, and the decoction for healing the wounds was also used, and the bloodstained silk was thrown into the boiling water to wash, and the wound was exposed in addition to wiping and cleaning, but also to prevent necrosis, Xiong Jing was still arranged in the Yiling Mansion, and he endured fatigue before returning to the house to look at all the wounded.

"King, that woman ......" Xiong Jing returned to the room, and Chang Jiang behind him was a little worried, he could see at a glance that the woman was not a person who gave in easily, and he was afraid that it would be unfavorable to the king.

"No, you can't deal with a woman?" Xiong Jing then remembered that there was a woman in his room, and when he walked in some more, he heard someone sobbing quietly. Seeing him come in, the woman raised her head and scolded with tears: "Tyrant! ”

Good intentions are never rewarded. Xiong Jing only said: "You will be here for the next few days, you must not run around, and I will leave in a few days." ”

"I will not sleep with you when I die." The woman's tears fell again, and when the horseman threw her into the room, he said that he wanted her to serve the king well, and she realized that it was the king of Chu who ordered the killing.

"Bedchamber?" Xiong Jing smiled, he just didn't want to kill this woman. "Chang Jiang, make the bed, don't be sleepy."

As soon as Chang Jiang agreed, he began to grope for the bed, thickened the grass spread underneath, and then changed into a clean bedclothes, and then helped Xiong Jing undress and serve him to sleep. He did not drive the woman out, but stood by the bed with his sword in his hand, motionless.

Yi Ling's bedroom was luxuriously furnished, the mat was soft, the bedclothes were warm, Xiong Jing fell asleep as soon as he hit the pillow, and in his sleep there was fighting, alliance, and dark Ma Gu, he did not wake up, until his stomach growled, and he opened his eyes.

"When?" Chang Jiang was still beside the bed, and didn't seem to move his position.

"Your Majesty, it's spring." Chang Jiang said. "The king is hungry?"

"How's it going out there?" Xiong Jing is hungry, but he is more concerned about the outside world.

"The Qin people have chased after this at noon, but fortunately, the Yi Decree can't open the city under the pretext of not seeing the king's order, so the Qin people left." Chang Jiang arrived, his brows furrowed.

"What about Fei Jing and Xiang Chao?" Xiong Jing asked again.

"Fei Jing is still there, Xiang Chao has already ......" Chang Jiang didn't finish his sentence, he didn't need to finish it at all, this guy must have used himself as bait to lure the Qin people to other places.

"Confused!" Xiong Jing was so angry that he pounded the bed.
