At the time of the wax moon, the cold wind in the north mixed with sand and gravel swept over the sky, which can not only cut people's faces painfully, but also be like a nightmare for those homeless people who lack food and clothing.

Since the brutal but able to control the situation of the Northern Yan Emperor died under the city of Bazhou, the powerful generals have supported their own troops, and the local wealthy clans have scrambled to make trouble, and the three princes who had been crowned the crown prince have disappeared since the city of Nanjing was broken, some people say that he is dead, and some people say that he has escaped to the empty door, but in any case, the entire Northern Yan has lost an orthodox successor after all.

Even if some people claim that Emperor Beiyan passed the throne to his daughter Princess Yue before his death, but in the chaotic situation, no one believes or is unwilling to believe in this matter. What's more, since the princess of Yue Kingdom was ordered by her brother and the third prince to go to Nanwu to negotiate, she has never returned, and Nanwu has never taken advantage of the situation to send her back to China to preside over the overall situation, so this rumor naturally has no market.

Nowadays, those displaced people who have fled for war or famine live under the walls of the outer city of Shangjing, hoping to hide in the city when the city gate is opened, but every day I see my companions trying to break through the city gate, few succeed, but many dead and wounded, day after day, I don't know how many people's eyes gradually lose their brilliance, and all that remains is numbness and despair.

Who would have thought that this world would be chaotic so quickly? Although they finally escaped to Shangjing, they could not enter the city gate, lacked food and clothing, and some died of cold and starvation every day. If it weren't for the fact that the people in Shangjing were worried that too many dead people would cause the plague, maybe even the little food and broken quilts that there was would not have been provided in the city!

The one who occupied Shangjing was a colt who survived when Xiao Qingqing was in charge of the overall situation. His wife, a princess known as the golden branch and jade leaf, has long since died, and this concubine is not like Xiao Changjun, the king of Lanling County, who does not know how many people lamented the bad luck, he has outstanding ability, both the emperor's appreciation, and Xiao Jingxian's recommendation, and even a Jin king Xiao Rong, who is now a great man, as a righteous son. The fact that he was able to occupy Shangjing was purely because of ...... Good luck!

At that time, Xiao Qingqing killed countless magnates, but he survived, and the city defense battalion was so intimidated that he didn't dare to move like a rabbit.

In the current Shangjing City, how many of the high-ranking families who were killed by Xiao Qingqing without their owners reopened, and there were big soldiers who shouted five and six inside. And how many rich and noble families who had escaped under the butcher's knife in the vanguard were killed again by the city defense army. The soldiers who were not valued in the past are now all concubines and concubines, and their waists are full of money.

It is precisely because of the success of the rebellion that this horse master simply regarded the capital as an iron bucket to guard, and the inventory in and out was extremely careful, and the soldiers who defended the city were sprinkled with a lot of money, and the homeless people were guarded as a plague, and no one was allowed to enter the city. If it weren't for the fear of arousing other forces around him to watch, he would have been eager to scatter his soldiers and horses and kill them all.

However, thinking about it this way, this horse master is not one of those powerful people who are full of fat intestines and their brains are full of fat. After being neglected for many years, in addition to luck, he also has a bit of brains, so he often sends his henchmen out of the city with fully armed guards, and selects strong men with no relatives and no reason from the homeless people to enter the city, in order to naturally enrich his own personal guard team.

Obviously, he didn't have so much trust in the officers of the city defense army who were so easy to win over with a lot of money, and at the same time instigated the elimination of the original city defense battalion. It's just that he didn't know whether he thought about it himself, or listened to the advice of his advisers, and there were very few people selected, and for more than a month, only seventy or eighty people were selected in total, so naturally it did not arouse the vigilance of the small group of officers in the city defense battalion.

At this moment, when countless homeless people were sitting or lying, seemingly listless, but in fact waiting for another day of hope or disappointment, they only heard the sound of creaking at the city gate again, and it was clear that the city gate had been opened. This is the only door open to the outside world in Shangjing City today, and it is tightly guarded, but even so, there are still many people who are still thinking that they are still strong and quietly get up.

Those eyes flashed with a green glow like a vicious wolf. Some people hope to take advantage of the moment the city gate is opened, and some people hold their heads high, hoping to be selected by those who come out to pick people.

However, when the city gate was opened, a group of cavalry swept out like a whirlwind, regardless of the wind, and the war horses flew on all fours, but trampled the first few homeless people who rushed towards the city gate to death! Seeing that the blood was dripping, a large number of people laughed loudly, followed by a group of brightly clad guards behind Fang Cai, surrounded the middle-aged man in heavy fur and slowly followed.

Seeing that the homeless people on both sides were sluggish and scared, and there were very few people who knew how to be well-behaved, Princess Chang'an couldn't help but curse secretly. His wife, Princess Chang'an, like Princess Ping'an back then, was an unfavored emperor, so the title was not as good as those golden branches and jade leaves that won the big feudal country, and he was naturally always depressed.

At this moment, thinking of Xiao Changxing, who was said to vomit blood and died when Emperor Beiyan died and his righteous son Xiao Rong returned to the country, he couldn't help but cheer up a little, secretly thinking that he had just not encountered a good opportunity before, and now that he was taking advantage of the situation, how could he not lose to Xiao Changhui!

Therefore, he forcibly endured the disgust in his heart, raised his chin slightly, and said proudly: "This horse is going to hunt today, as long as you can follow this horse and his party to the hunting ground without falling behind, this horse will be merciful and accept you into the house!" ”

After saying this, seeing that the homeless people around him were in a commotion for a while, he was smug, and after laughing, he waved his horsewhip vigorously and walked away under the hugs of many followers. And the cavalry of the city defense battalion who had just galloped out of the city gate saw that there were really homeless people chasing after them, and they couldn't help but point and talk and laugh.

"Is it really that this colt master is soft-hearted? As for the people he took into the mansion before, I don't know how many died! ”

"If it weren't for the fact that people were no different from those dignitaries and dignitaries in the past, several military leaders would have pulled people off their horses a long time ago......"

"What can these untouchables do? How about today, let's take people as prey, how about comparison? ”

Several cavalrymen were also just low-level people at the beginning, but now they are arrogant, and no one is talking about the strange things about the princess of Chang'an, and they don't treat the homeless people as human beings at all, and they are unscrupulous to the extreme.

But while they were talking and laughing, they only heard a few loud whistles in the air, and then they fell heavily from their horses to the ground without any reaction. They were shocked and angry when they were hit by the arrow, but they tried their best to catch a few cold-eyed homeless people in the last moments of death.

At the same time, the unorganized displaced people who were trying to rush through the city gate suddenly became extremely orderly. When they suddenly pulled out short weapons with their bare hands, the officers and soldiers of the city defense battalion at the city gate who used the homeless people to punch cards every day for fun or hunting suddenly fell into a panic.

Although they are good at killing ordinary people, they can only use their hands against people who have no ability to resist when they have never been on the battlefield in their lives, and they are overstretched when they encounter real hard ideas.

Therefore, the other homeless people who were originally watching saw that the city gate guards were actually killed by dozens of people and cried for their fathers and mothers, and unconsciously the only remaining trace of fear faded. Some people picked up the wooden sticks that were originally used for self-defense, some people picked up the flat poles, and some people rolled up their sleeves. I don't know who shouted fiercely, and for a while, there should be one after another, and countless people flocked to the city gate.

When the only open gate in Shangjing finally fell, the unsuspecting princess of Chang'an's horse had already slowly stopped on the road. Even though he was wearing a heavy fur, in this cold season, the horse galloped for too long, and he still couldn't stand the cold wind that desperately drilled into his neck. It's just that he found a very good reason for himself.

If he didn't stop the four-legged horse, how would the two-legged homeless people behind him catch up? If they can't catch up, wouldn't the method they had come up with with so much to choose the dead be in vain?

He waited for a long time before he noticed the stumbling homeless people in view. At first glance, he knew that it was likely that someone would fall headlong in the next moment, and he would never get up again.

He chuckled, and said with a condescending malice: "There are still several miles to the hunting ground, and if you can't keep up, this horse won't open the net......"

At this moment, among the dozens of homeless people who followed, someone suddenly shouted: "If I really follow me to the hunting ground, can Master Ma really take me and my family in?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the princess of Chang'an's concubine suddenly changed color, he shouted loudly, and the soldiers beside him immediately raised their hands and shot an arrow. In an instant, there was a scream from the crowd, followed by a small commotion.

"This colt is merciful, and promises that those who can follow the hunting ground to the house are those who can only eat! If there are still people who dare to talk nonsense, then that is the end just now! ”

Seeing that after he said this, the homeless people not far away were silent for a while, and Princess Chang'an was naturally very satisfied. In his opinion, the benevolence without a bottom line will only hurt himself in this troubled world, and Liwei is more important than Lide. But the next moment, he thought he had shocked everyone, but he heard a sneer.

"It's just wishful thinking that a rice bucket who is stupid to even recruit henchmen still wants to be the king and dominate!"

The moment he heard this voice, Princess Chang'an's first reaction was not anger, but panic, because he vaguely found that he seemed to have heard this voice somewhere! However, he didn't have time to think carefully about his memories at all, because among the wanderers who were embarrassed like wild dogs just now, more than a dozen figures suddenly came out.

Although the leader was covered with mud and dust, and his body was also in tattered clothes, when the cold light like a training hand directly cut a pro-soldier who stepped forward to block him, Princess Chang'an only felt that a cold air spread from the tail vertebrae to the whole body in an instant, and he couldn't even move.

Seeing that those who rushed up were dealing with his entourage as if they were chopping melons and vegetables, he finally burst out two words from between his teeth: "Xiao ...... Capacity......"

Most of the genuine homeless people didn't react much when they heard these two words, but the guards who were horrified to experience this massacre were not unfamiliar with the name. As some people fell to their knees and held their heads in their hands to show their surrender, many people knew that they were invincible and hurriedly followed suit, and some people shouted loudly.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin spare his life! We were all forced to rebel by Xiao Lin! ”

Princess Chang'an was almost angry with these words, however. When he saw the indifferent young man walking forward with a sword, even though he was on a horse and condescending, but the other party was only on foot, he still had a kind of fear from the heart.

He involuntarily rode his horse and wanted to retreat, but the mount did not listen to the call at all, so that when the young man came to him, he remained at a distance and could not move: "Xiao ...... Xiao Rong, you ...... Why are you here? ”

Zhen Rong glanced lightly at this splendid dress, and suddenly waved his sword casually. In an instant, I saw the princess of Chang'an, who had just been proud, fell to the ground, holding her arms and screaming like killing a pig. Faced with this situation, Zhen Rong was unmoved, allowing the blood on the tip of the sword to fall drop by drop on the muddy ground.

"If I don't come again, Shangjing will probably become a dead city, and I am afraid that I will not be able to count the people who died of cold and hunger. Now I have only scratched your arm, and when you treat the people as pariahs, enslave and torture for fun, why did you not feel the slightest pity for their screams? ”

It was only at this time that those frightened homeless people realized who Xiao Rong was...... Isn't it His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who occupies a large territory in the southeast, claims to have 100,000 people, and is said to be the most popular among the many heroes?

Different from the demon king in the past, now His Royal Highness the King of Jin is said to have Nanwu providing grain and weapons behind his back, and he is very popular, so many generals and heroes who support their own troops have joined forces to pull a blockade line, strictly prohibiting the homeless people and the people from taking refuge in the past, otherwise they would have run thousands of miles away!

I don't know who took the lead, one by one the homeless people couldn't help but kneel on the ground, and some even cried with joy...... As for the princess of Chang'an, who was still wailing and screaming on the ground, like a clown, no one paid attention to it anymore, even the closest soldiers to him.

Many people's eyes fell on Zhen Rong, even if the young man at this time was in rags, at first glance he looked exactly the same as an ordinary homeless teenager.

Zhen Rong, who was accustomed to this kind of sight, narrowed his eyes slightly, turned to look in the direction of Shangjing, and after a while, he said word by word: "From today on, this Shangjing is no longer a hall of words for some people!" The murderer dies, the wounder is punished, and the theft is punished. Since there is no royal law and no heavenly principle in this messy world, then, let's set up a new one! ”

The three chapters of Liu Bang's covenant law back then can be used now...... It's just that, like the seemingly benevolent Han Gaozu, he is not clean now. The man who had just died, the people who had died of starvation at the gates of the city, and those who had been tortured and killed, did not have to die...... It's just that his power is limited, and he can't save everyone after all......

Three years after the collapse of the Northern Yan Emperor, Xiao Rong, the king of Jin, entered the capital, beheaded the princess of Chang'an, the concubine and the 37 generals of the city defense battalion, and recruited 6,000 displaced people as an army, called the Ping An Army, taking the meaning of peace in the world.

However, only those who are really familiar with Zhen Rong know that the word peace is not only for him to pray for peace in the world with a righteous heart, but also to miss the princess of peace who is now at home with his wife and children hot kang and enjoying blessings all day long......
