Chapter Forty-Nine: Miserable and Peaceful

Xiaobai irrepressibly became a fat leopard, slippery from head to toe, and its abundant nutrition made its coat color extremely bright. From the State of Zhao to the State of Qin, there is no discomfort for the snow leopard.

Looking up at the eaves, Xiaobai was a little sad. The chubby body could no longer climb up, so he could only lie in the yard and enjoy the winter sun. From time to time, people walked by, and the noise was a mess. It's still quiet and comfortable on the roof, but it's a pity that now I can only look at the house and sigh, which is a shame for a leopard.

I don't know what's wrong, I have to move to the city. Isn't the countryside bad? There is his own world, and Xiaobai is often entrusted by the children on the Zhuangzi. Go to the mountains to give them peace, sometimes a fox, sometimes a lone wolf. The most violent time, I actually met a money leopard.

Felines have always had a natural advantage over canines, and foxes, jackals, and the like don't put it in the eyes of Xiaobai at all. However, against the same kind, Xiaobai is still very difficult. Fortunately, in winter, the snow leopard is significantly better at fighting in the cold winter than the golden leopard.

Relying on the advantage of physical flexibility, Xiaobai gave the money leopard a claw. The sharp claws and daggers pierced through the flesh pads with the roar of the snow leopard.

Hit with a single hit, then leave with lightning speed. With blood and an eye on the leopard's claws, the leopard roared and burrowed into the mountains and forests and never found a trace.

Perhaps the animal kingdom also has a unique way of communicating, anyway, since Xiaobai's victory over the snow leopard. The beasts that were rampant in the Jade Mountain disappeared as if they had made an appointment, and the villagers in the Zhuangzi went up the mountain to hunt a decent prey but did not catch a decent prey.

If you can't hit the prey, it's not in Xiaobai's calculation. The deterrent power of the snow leopard is not covered, and it not only effectively curbs the invasion of fierce beasts. Even a frightened jackal actually sent back the lamb that it had taken, and a fox sent back two chickens. As for weasels, etc., it is not enough!

The children worship Xiaobai like a hero. Yunjia Zhuangzi has always had a wonder. A group of children surrounded a fierce leopard, and their little hands flew up and down on the leopard's body, constantly scratching for Xiaobai. When Xiaobai leaves satisfied, there will always be a Yun family member who throws down a few copper brothers and asks the children to buy some food.

The county magistrate of Lantian was amazed to see such a scene, and he did not understand the harmony between humans and animals. Who would have thought. The man-eating beast can live in harmony with the child.

Yunhou is a capable person, and the officials of Lantian County made such an assertion. Look at the guys in Xianyang City who are known as fierce men, one by one, they claim to be standing on their arms and fists. Master Yun has a leopard on his back, although the posture is a little indecent, but no one dares to carry a leopard of more than 100 catties.

Yun Key lay on the ground, trying to break free from Xiaobai's entanglement. This thing became more and more obsessed with himself, and before the last breath in his lungs was squeezed out, Xiaobai was finally pushed away by Ao Canghai and a group of guards.

This is the uncle. Injuries must not be touched. Annoyed to return your hand to give you a claw, the iron man can also scratch a few traces out. If the guards have to do so, try not to get close to this little white uncle.

The furious Cloud Key raised his foot and kicked at Xiaobai, but the agile Xiaobai did not dodge. Yun Key's feet stopped in mid-air, and instead stroked Xiaobai's head a few times with his hand.

Xiaobai's big head stretched forward, revealing her hairy neck. Yun Key comprehended and scratched Xiaobai's jaw with his hand. Xiaobai emitted a feline whimpering sound, showing an extremely happy mood.

The jaw of the Lantian county magistrate was about to drop in fright. I completely forgot what I came for.

"You're here to confiscate the fiefs?" Yun Key laughed with Xiaobai while asking the stupid Lantian County official.

Although King Zhuang Xiang spared the capital crime of Yun Key. But the fiefdom must be taken back. Otherwise, he would not be able to give an explanation to the angry and abnormal Great Qin military, as an emperor, he knew how to balance. Dozens of lives, only to take the title of cloud key to pay.

"Return to the marquis......" The county official swallowed half of the sentence, and now the cloud key has lost the title of marquis. Call Hou Ye again, and he is the one who eats the waterlogging.

"Your Majesty's decree is to deprive you of your fiefdom, and there is no way to assign a lowly position from above. Please also. Don't be hard for us people. "The county officials are humble, and the situation on the day of the interrogation of Yun Key has been spread countless versions in Xianyang.

But no matter which version it is, it shows the powerful network resources of the cloud key, when the prime minister protects him, and the high-ranking King Zhuangxiang protects him. Even the Empress Dowager, who was sitting in the Gaoquan Palace and held the lifeline of Great Qin's life and death, protected him.

The magistrate understood. He is an uncle in front of the people. But in front of this young man, he was completely an ant. An ant that disappears without a trace when it is gently blown. What's more, now that only the guy has the power of the army, the blood stains of the more than 30 heads that will come back have not dried up, and the county officials don't want to go up to make up the numbers.

"So you're here to take my land." Yun Key sat on the chair casually, and the huge cow stood behind him with a fierce face. It's like a fox standing next to a tiger to frighten the poor lamb of the county magistrate.

"Uh......! Humble ......! Humble ......! "The county clerk suddenly suffered from an eighth-level stutter, and no matter how he adjusted his tongue, he was not in the right state and position. I'm afraid that if I don't answer well, I will provoke this killing god to say, whoever collects my land, I will kill whoever heads him, such bloody words.

"Since Your Majesty's edict, then do what Your Majesty says." Yun Key lightly threw out a sentence, making everyone in the courtyard stunned. The county magistrate thought he was hallucinating, and pinched the thigh of his attendant. In the loud screams of the entourage, a series of sycophants rolled out without rolling. Yun Key really didn't find out that this product has some language talent, and it has to fight with Teacher Guo of Deyun Club.

lowered his head and talked about the boundless sycophant, and suddenly found that it was very quiet around him. The county magistrate raised his head and saw that the attendant who had been screaming loudly just now was looking at him, with a look of high mountain admiration, and the chair was already empty.

The miserable north wind blew across the grassland like a sickle, mercilessly harvesting everything with temperature. There are no more soaring goshawks in the sky, only one or two withered yellow weeds stubbornly exposing the white snow, swaying lonely in the wind and snow.

Black Wind has ice ballast on his beard, and even his eyebrows have hoarfrost. A pair of red eyes stared at that damn Pingliang City.

The Qinzi flag above the city has been shot to the ground, but it still stands tenaciously in the north wind and hunts.

The city was littered with strangely shaped corpses, twisted and twisted. The stiff arms pointed helplessly at the sky, looking extremely strange in the wind and snow.

"Big brother can't do this! The Qin people's city is strong, and our casualties are too great to attack like this. Hei Hong's heart was full of helplessness. Groups of Hun warriors rushed forward, and in the end they could only turn into zombies. Watching one powerful warrior after another in the tribe fall, Hei Hong's arrows were fired in succession. But after all, it couldn't compare to those powerful Qin crossbows, after shooting more than a dozen lieutenants in a row. He's literally a crossbow vacuum, and whenever he shows up on the battlefield, he will shoot crossbow arrows like locusts.

The guards beside Hei Hong have changed eight waves, and it is a miracle that such a dense rain of arrows can survive until now.

The Hun warriors were the toughest warriors in the world. Every time you go out to fight. The clan's fathers and elders all said goodbye, and the trembling old lady did not forget to say a few words. "Grab some more stuff and come back!"

There is no way to keep up with productivity. If you want anything, a woman marrying an iron pot is a very heavy dowry.

If it weren't for the previous generation of Xiongnu kings, he broke through the Yue Clan Kingdom and got a large number of Yue Clan blades. Most likely, there were no tools for robbery, and many of the Hun warriors had only a large wooden stick in their hands.

Therefore, the Hun warriors are the most fierce and brave, and they have no choice but to grab the two-foot red head rope back. The children in the family also need to have a two-foot red head rope.

The problem is that robbery also requires a cost problem, watching piles of corpses lying there. Brave and brave also need to have IQ, after more than ten days of hard fighting. The Hun warriors, who had always been fierce and brave, were also instigated. Mr. Blackwind's blood is deep and hateful. After all, I came out to grab something, and now thousands of corpses are lying there, and you can't see the cataract when you brothers!

"Prepare firewood and grass to snatch those corpses back and burn them." At this time, Hei Feng was very much like a hungry wolf, and he decided to set up a simple crematorium outside Pingliang City.

"Big brother, this is not in accordance with the rules. In case the people ......! Hei Hong was a little worried, according to the rules of the Huns, he should be buried after death. Eat the grassland all your life, and after death, you have to dedicate your body to the Kunlun god who takes care of you for a lifetime. Now a fire is to be burned to ashes. The families of the deceased are watching from behind.

At this time, there is a strong city in front, and if there is trouble in the back, the consequences will be terrible.

"I can't care so much. We've been storming for more than a month. Pingliang City is already crumbling, and our casualties are not small. Now it's up to us to see who can make it to the end. Black Wind's face was expressionless, perhaps his face was frozen like a stone by the biting cold wind like his heart.

Black Feather is his favorite little brother, and he is also the most aura young man in the tribe, and when Daddy was alive, he said that Black Feather would be the most promising one of their brothers. As Black Wind watched the damn Ao dog gnaw on Black Feather's head. His heart was shattered.

At that time, Heifeng vowed to say that Pingliang City would become a ruin. It is necessary to kill all the people in Pingliang City, leaving not a single chicken or dog. We want to make this fortress of Cyprus a place of death, and use all the lives here to pay tribute to the dead brothers.

Black Wind thought that Pingliang City had reached its last moment, and Permanent Tooth raised his hands in agreement. There were only about 10,000 soldiers in the city. These days the war has been badly damaged. The soldiers also needed to rest in shifts, and now there were less than twenty soldiers guarding the city walls every thirty zhang.

One by one, the soldiers got everything they could to defend themselves against the howling north wind and the bone-chilling cold. They all looked like wild beasts, but they were frozen like turtles. Cowering behind the battlements, trying to get your neck into the cavity.

Many of the soldiers were blackened from the cold, and some were dripping with pus. The military doctor's method was to "click" and shove the severed fingers and toes into the hands of the soldiers. The rammers who were stupid by the freeze expressed their gratitude, and many people actually took out the rationed muddy wine and drank a glass with the military doctor.

Heng Fang saw a soldier fall asleep with a halberd in his arms, and stepped forward and kicked his foot. Unexpectedly, the soldier actually remained in a squatting position and lay on the ground, his young lips were only covered with a thin layer of fluff. A face as white as snow on the ground, hard as a stone to the touch.

He died, he was frozen to death. The bleak north wind of the grassland took away the last trace of his body temperature, and he was still so young, sixteen years old? Fifteen years old? Or only fourteen years old.

Permanent Tooth closed his eyes in pain, and he also wanted to warm up the soldier's door. I also wanted to build a fire for them, but the fuel in the city didn't last long. I don't know when the imperial court reinforcements will arrive, and all the supplies are saved if they can. Even he, a great general, did not have a pot of charcoal fire in the city tower.

"Erwang!" An old soldier pounced, hugging the corpse and wailing.

"Uncle Zhong, don't cry! Tears will freeze ......" Another soldier hugged Uncle Lao Zhong, saying that the tears were rolling down "crackling".

The hot tears had turned to ice before they reached the ground, and a raging fire was burning outside the city. The smell of burning corpses could be smelled from afar, and the cold wind sprinkled black fly ash into Pingliang City. These Hun warriors did not rush into Pingliang City alive, and after their deaths, they were considered to be Pingliang.

Heng Fang looked at the fire outside the city with resentment in his heart, and looked back at the city. There is not even a single intact tree, and although every family stores some charcoal in winter, after all, no one can store charcoal that can be used for a winter.

Pingliang City has been besieged for more than a month, and many people have run out of charcoal. In a few days, I'm afraid I'll have to eat raw rice. In this day when rats can freeze to death, I really don't know how to survive this day without charcoal.

"Buried it!" Permanent Tooth glanced helplessly at the crying people.

As a general, you can't even get a coffin for yourself. Hengya was ashamed, even if he was dead now, there would be no coffin to bury. Because the coffin is also fuel, and the fuel should be reserved for the living, not for the dead. Dead people can't feel the temperature!

A few recruited men kept digging pits under the city walls, and the pits dug were always insufficient. When the Huns' siege was repulsed, bloody corpses were carried down.

The larger ones dug in the pit are used by two people, and they are both robes of life and death. If you can make do with it, make do with it, anyway, the general said. This is all temporary, and if you win the battle in the future, you will have to get up and rebury it.

Permanent Tooth exhaled a heavy breath of white air, and the Huns were burning the corpses. There will be no more attacks in a short period of time, but Hengya knows that Pingliang City will not be able to hold it for long.

Qin's crossbow is sharp, but the speed of Qin's crossbow wasting arrows is just as sharp. There are 200,000 crossbow arrows in stock, and there are very few left. I really can't imagine how to defend Pingliang City without crossbow arrows. (To be continued......)
