387. Post-war Binh Duong 2
Although Baxi is back, Nangong Jin's worries are not less. However, knowing that my father was not at home, I knew that everyone hid in Qiming Hall. Does this mean that Yao Fangyu's guess is not wrong, there are tunnels in Qiming Hall?
It was late at night, and Li Songran was crazy and looked for people outside the city. Nangong Jin really couldn't sleep, and searched carefully in the ruins of Qiming Hall alone. Finally, a trace of unusualness was found in the half-poured east chamber.
Tunnel! Sure enough, there are authentics! After Nangong Jin pushed a wall hard, he revealed a tunnel mouth that was not big, but it was sloping downward, and Nangong Jin didn't even think about crawling inward.
The tunnel extends down two or three zhang, and can only crawl forward, and after a few zhang, it is spacious enough to allow one person to pass. Nangong Jin took the fire fold and found that this tunnel was not a straight line. Suddenly, a gust of palm wind directly extinguished the fire in his hand, and the sharp palm wind did not stop, but there was no way to dodge in the narrow space, so he could only retreat, but this step reached the mud wall, and he had to resist with his palm. It's just that the opponent's palm power is extremely sharp, and Nangong Jin resists with all his strength, and suddenly feels a burst of qi and blood.
"Huh?" This person didn't seem to expect someone to be able to resist his killing move, "Who?" The power of the palm slowed down.
Although the other party only said two words, Nangong Jin still felt that the voice was very familiar, "Fu Qingshuang? ā
"Ah Jin?"
The pressure on his chest was instantly withdrawn, which made Nangong Jin almost spurt blood, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here?" What about my family? ā
"The Tatar army retreated?" Fu Qingshuang asked.
"Yes, I retired yesterday."
Fu Qingshuang became happy and immediately said, "Have you brought someone here?" ā
"Four halls, 5,000 men and horses, all in the city."
Fu Qingshuang seemed to be stunned, and said, "You're still amazing." Come with me, I'm going to go out from the other side for a while, and many people are sick and need to find someone to help. ā
After walking down more than ten zhang, the tunnel is more spacious, but this spaciousness is only four people can pass side by side.
There are a few torches lit here, and there should be vents. Squeezed with more than 30 people, Du Ling was busy sweating profusely, and Chengjun followed him to help.
Seeing Fu Qingshuang come in with Nangong Jin, everyone was stunned. I only heard Fu Qingshuang shout happily: "Ah Pu, the Tartar has retreated." ā
After a while, Nangong Pu walked over briskly from the other end, and was stunned when he saw Nangong Jin, and then greeted him with a smile unconsciously, "Ah Jin!" ā
"Big brother." Nangong Jin asked anxiously: "What about my mother?" ā
"They're in there." Nangong Pu didn't care about his unkempt appearance, so he pulled Nangong Jin and walked to the back.
There is also a small space in the tunnel, Zhou Tang, Shen Xueying, Nangong Wan, Cheng Rui, Tang Man, Mrs. Zhang, full of many women, half-sitting and half-lying.
"Mother!" Seeing Zhou Tang lying on the ground, Nangong Jin took a few anxious steps forward. Zhou Tang saw that it was him, and laughed happily, but he couldn't sit up. Nangong Jin wanted to help her, but was stopped by Nangong Pu and asked urgently, "What's wrong?" ā
"Ah, this ......." Du Ling stood behind him and said, "My sister-in-law's pelvis is broken, and she can't sit up, so she can only lie down." Cheng Rui was sick, had some concussions, and suffered from the cold, and so did your sister-in-law. Many people here have suffered from wind and cold, and there is only food and water in the tunnels, and there is no medicine, and if there is only medicine......"
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhou Tang interrupted Du Ling's words, and when he saw that Nangong Jin's spirit was much better, he said with a smile: "Qingshuang said that the Tartar has retreated? ā
"Yes. I've brought someone here. Seeing Zhou Tang's haggard appearance, Nangong Jin became sad.
Nangong Pu pulled Nangong Jin over, a little anxious, "Ah Jin, you have to take everyone out for treatment quickly, otherwise there will be more people who fall ill." ā
"Okay, you guys get ready, I'll call someone."
**********
After a busy night, the people in the tunnels were finally transferred to the city, but the recovery of Binh Duong City had just begun.
Mrs. Zhang rushed to the Pingyang Mansion and saw a ruin, crying and looking for Zhang Huili's figure. Soon after, he was taken to a bungalow behind the government office, where a corpse was covered with sackcloth on the door panel. Mrs. Zhang lifted the sackcloth with a trembling hand, and the corpse under the sackcloth was dressed in neat official uniforms, covered in bloodstains, it was Zhang Huili, the prefect of Pingyang, and Mrs. Zhang shouted and fainted.
Tang Man looked around for Tang Shubin's whereabouts, if according to the plan set before, he should have escorted everyone and led everyone into the tunnel, but he had disappeared since before guarding Qiming Hall.
Nangong Pu was even more in the mood, Shen Xueying fell asleep with a high fever that did not subside, according to Du Ling, not only was she cold, but also greatly frightened. Although the symptoms of Chengrui wind chill are not too serious, the concussion state has not passed, and he has been vomiting and dizzy. Nangong Pu was busy taking care of the two of them and couldn't leave for a moment.
Nangong Wan had several external injuries, but fortunately, Fu Qingshuang took care of them carefully. It's just that I know that there are not enough people in the family, and I am often pushed out by Nangong Wan, and I am busy with Yao Fangyu in the renovation and cleaning of the house.
Zhou Tang's injury needs to be recuperated in bed, in addition to Biyang, Li Songran is also always away, and Nangong Jin is by her side when she is free, but she doesn't feel that it is difficult to recuperate. It's just that there are some things, she saw it in her eyes, and finally couldn't help but knock on the side in front of Nangong Jin and say, 'Miss Yao has the fan of being a housewife'.
Nangong Jin smiled embarrassedly, wanted to speak and stopped, and didn't know what to say.
Zhou Tang knew that he had the other party in his heart, and he also knew the relationship between the two of them, and the initiative was in Yao Fangyu's hands, although this made Zhou Tang unhappy, but it was repeated for so long, somewhat because of the unwillingness in Nangong Jin's heart. Putting all this aside, from the perspective of being in charge alone, Yao Fangyu is no worse than Shen Xueying, and she still has the courage and mind to take on big things, it depends on whether she is willing to take care of her little son, who sometimes makes stupid mistakes, for the rest of her life.
Pingyang City, like Tianchengwei before, is in urgent need of a doctor. Nangong Jin asked Gao Changjing to issue a notice, concentrate the doctors in the city, and Du Ling arranged the treatment. As soon as Du Ling heard that he was going to give orders, he immediately looked constipated and wanted to grind Nangong Jin for help. Chengjun stood up and helped Du Linglong.
After that, Chengjun spent half an hour writing a plan for Nangong Jin with his idea of unified treatment, including the disposal of the corpse. The two called Du Ling and discussed it carefully for an hour before letting Chengjun and Du Ling start to do it.
Nangong Jin's official office is full of people who ask for instructions, and it is almost impossible for Pingyang City to restore its previous prosperity in a short period of time, and the surrounding villages and towns are even more miserable. He had already used the identity of General Wude to write an excerpt into Beijing, detailing the situation in Pingyang, and asking the imperial court to send personnel as soon as possible. Before the cabinet replied, he could only temporarily take care of Binh Duong's affairs, so that the people could have food, housing, and medical treatment as much as possible, and restore basic defense.
Tang Man looked for a few days, but there was no news of Tang Shubin, so he had to wait at the door of the official room for Nangong Jin to be free and ask him for help. When she entered the official room, Yao Fangyu happened to come to deliver food, in addition to Nangong Jin and Gao Changjing in the house, the hall masters of several halls went in and out.
Tang Man was not a subordinate of Nangong Sect, and when he saw Nangong Jin, he was deeply blessed, and bowed his head and said, "The concubine is the ...... of the master of Qingfeng Hall." ā
"Sister-in-law, sit down, don't make this kind of false etiquette." Nangong Jin got up with a smile. On the side, Baxi hurriedly served tea.
Tang Man didn't sit down, he still lowered his head and said: "I know that there are many things in the family, and the second son still has to take care of Pingyang's government affairs, but ......." Her voice choked, tried her best to hold back her tears, and continued: "Can you ask the second son for a favor, my grandson has disappeared so far, I have searched all over Pingyang alone, I don't know where else to find ......" Speaking of this, she finally cried.
Nangong Jin glanced at Yao Fangyu. On the same day, the cleanup of Nangong Mansion was completed by Yao Fangyu and others, and all the corpses of Qingfeng Hall had been uniformly placed. Yao Fangyu understood what Nangong Jin meant, but she didn't know Tang Shubin, so it was difficult to answer this question. frowned and looked at Nangong Jin with an embarrassed expression, seeing Tang Man's sadness crying, he stepped forward and comforted: "Perhaps, the Tang Hall Master is also like you last time, looking for a place to hide, and he doesn't know that the Tartars are retreating." ā
Tang Man nodded, "IāI've always thought so. ā
"In this way, I will ask the people of Jingzhou Hall to help find it in a while, they know the Tang Hall Master. There should be news soon, don't worry. Nangong Jin also comforted.
Yao Fangyu took her hand and asked softly, "Don't worry." Can you settle down? ā
Tang Man shook his head with tears in his eyes, "The house has been destroyed, and the servants have been dismissed before the curfew. ā
"If you don't dislike it, first help Madame find a place where she can freshen up and eat something to rest."
Tang Man nodded lightly, Yao Fangyu and Nangong Jin glanced at each other, and led her out of the room to settle down.
"Tang Shubin?" Gao Changjing waited for Tang Man to go out before he spoke: "I remember that he is about the same age as me, he is familiar with every stone in Pingyang, and he should not be missing." ā
"Let Uncle Cheng find it." Nangong Jin sighed and gently rubbed his chest, looking a little tired.
"Uncomfortable? Take a break? Gao Changjing asked.
Nangong Jin laughed, "It's okay, look at what you eat today." ā
After a while, Yao Fangyu entered the room again, "The matter of the Tang Hall Master...... The day before yesterday, Tang Man looked for Fu Qingshuang, I happened to be on the side, and I heard Fu Qingshuang say that the Tartars had not yet entered the Nangong Mansion, so he saw Tang Shubin leave. ā
"Leave? Leaving Fuchu? Nangong Jin asked.
Yao Fangyu thought for a while and said, "He didn't say it, but my understanding is that he was away from the Ming Hall, and he said that he was near the Qi Ming Hall at the time." ā
Nangong Jin looked at the dishes and asked casually, "She should have gone to the mourning hall to find it, right?" ā
Yao Fangyu set up a mourning hall in a remote place in the front yard to worship the dead guards and Qingfeng Hall, more than 100 corpses have not yet entered the coffin, but they have all been cleaned up, waiting for the coffin to arrive. This time, the city of Pingyang was broken, so that the coffins in the city were completely insufficient.
Yao Fangyu thought about it and became worried, and replied, "Alas, let Fu Qingshuang help you later." After all, the house has not been completely cleared, and maybe we have missed something. ā
As he spoke, another cry came in.
"Young master," Baxi hurriedly came in, "It's from Rising Sun Village, a group of people came, saying that they were looking for the master." The guards didn't let them in. ā
Nangong Jin didn't have a good impression of the second room, especially the old man. After thinking about it, I thought it was funny, but I hadn't really touched it, "Let them go to the side room, and I'll go over later." ā
Baxi was ordered to go out.
