136 Siege (1)
Xu was slapped face, Tiehu did not appear again, and even his subordinates withdrew from the vicinity. The days are uneventful, compared to the bustle outside the city. The battle ahead has been reported one after another, and the number of people coming from Jiangpu has gradually increased, and looking at the way they bring their families with them, it is probably easy to see how tragic it is. It's even more than last year's flood!
What's more, compared with the refugees from the north, Jiangpu is close at hand after all, and there are a lot of contacts, and some of them are related to their relatives, so the kind of thing called sympathy is more obvious, and by the way, the condemnation of those who are in turmoil is becoming more and more profound and frequent.
Lu Hongying's body has recovered most of her body, although she can't go out on the street, she can occasionally hear something she doesn't want to hear, on the one hand, she is worried about her relatives and friends on the tragic battlefield ahead, and on the other hand, she probably thinks about whether she really did something wrong!
Thinking about it deeply, I actually can't remember what kind of mentality it was at the beginning!
At the beginning, they insisted until now, and they can actually feel that something is wrong, but under a general trend, they can't turn back, and they can only be coerced to continue to move forward! In fact, where there is absolute right and wrong in the world, it is just their own insistence.
They may still be able to hold on to a certain reason at first, but then the scale has developed, all kinds of people have joined, everyone has formed gangs, and the original intention is no longer so pure, and the group of people they walked together at the beginning has now not left a few, either dead or gone, and what is really left behind is also physically and mentally exhausted.
I used to do things every day, but I didn't really think about it, and even if I did, I often didn't think about it because of other things.
Now that I've stolen half a day's leisure, I've gotten around myself.
Wang Ning hasn't been at home for a few days, and he probably doesn't know how to face Lu Hongying, after all, he was beaten, and he was really embarrassed to accompany the smiling face, but if he had a black face, he would inevitably be ridiculed by Mu Rong.
I came back from a swing that day, it was getting late, and I knocked on the door and just took a bath outside and made noise again. Ma Li got up, Mu Rong and Lu Hongying had already gotten up.
"I'm afraid something happened!" Wang Ning said a word and asked, "What about Da Lang?"
Mu Rong responded: "I haven't come back yet!"
Wang Ning was helpless, there was a touch of anxiety on her face, the noise outside was not stopped, and she faintly saw the fire burning in the distance, accompanied by bursts of exclamations.
Wang Ning glanced at Lu Hongying: "Help me take care of Mu Rong, I'll go out and have a look."
Without further ado, he put on his cloak and went outside. Mu Rong wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Lu Hongying.
Lu Hongying shook her head at her and said, "He'll be fine."
Although Mu Rong was worried, she still trusted Lu Hongying very much in the past few days, nodded and whispered.
said that Wang Ning went to the street, and when he saw the scene on the street at first glance, he immediately turned around and locked the door, estimated where Da Lang would go in the past, and looked for it.
Everything he encountered on the road had subverted his perception of Jiang Ning, and the quiet and peaceful in the past was so quiet and peaceful that he could no longer see it now. The flames soared into the sky, as if everything that happened at the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting last year was magnified dozens of times.
Occasionally, officers and soldiers in armor came by, and when they saw someone on the road, they said a few words of intimidation, but all those who resisted were cut down on the road.
Wang Ning watched from a distance, looked for a few places where he didn't see Dalang, and was worried about Qin Lao by the Qinhuai River, so he went over there.
The old man was very calm, and when he came to visit late at night, he seemed to be a little surprised, presumably the old man had already guessed something, so he called his family members to the hall.
"I suddenly thought of a good chess move, and I wanted to play a game with the old man." Wang Ning entered the door and said with a happy face.
The old man naturally knew why he came from, but he didn't break it. Instead, he beckoned someone to take the chessboard out, and the two really set it away.
"This is your good move? The old man thought he could get a trick or two! "Old Qin began to count down as soon as he got down.
When Mrs. Qin saw Wang Ning, she was surprised at first, but after Qin Lao explained, she became enthusiastic, and even called the maid to pick a few fresh fruits in the garden behind. Goshoya
"Maybe I forgot on the way here!" Wang Ning explained.
Soon after, an officer and soldier came to the door, saying that they were sent by Lu Tuiguan, Qin Lao inquired a few words, and arranged them in the wing, and only Wang Ning and him were left in the room.
Wang Ning admitted defeat, and Qin Lao also put away his smile: "I'm afraid that the chaotic people have entered the city."
In fact, the battle at the front was fruitful, and after the regular army was pulled out, it was crushed by the withering and decaying past, and the so-called rebel people had been defeated and retreated one after another, and the news that came back a few days ago was probably completely wiped out in a few days.
I don't want a fire in the backyard and someone killed in front of my house.
"I'm afraid it's revenge on the other side." Wang Ning picked up a bunch of watery grapes on the table, bit one, and said slowly.
"That's all it can be."
Time passed, and half an hour later, someone came to the door again, and after explaining the intention, most of the soldiers who had come before followed and left, leaving only a few.
"If the old man doesn't find my house, I'm afraid you're not safe."
When the warrior on duty next to him heard this, he was probably happy from the bottom of his heart, it was true that Qin Lao's identity was too sensitive, and they couldn't afford to have an accident.
Old Qin smiled: "The old man has never seen any strong winds and waves, why are you afraid of this?"
Wang Ning said twice: "That's what you said...... Hmm......" Wang Ning snorted lightly, withdrew his gaze from the night, and looked at Qin Lao, "You must be a big man!" ”
Qin Lao listened to Wang Ning's laughter and nodded: "I'm afraid it will scare you if I say it!"
Wang Ning put down the bunch of grapes, "I'll go out and have a look first!" ”
Qin Lao said: "You don't look like an ordinary person!"
Wang Ning raised his hand and gestured: "I'm a rich man, the richest man in Jiangning!"
Out of the courtyard, Wang Ning glanced in a certain direction. sighed: "This is not giving up!"
*********
But it is said that Jiangning is all over the city gate, the same fire is soaring into the sky, at first glance, the bottom of the black and yang are full of people, and a rain of arrows flies from time to time in the forest in the distance, piercing the air.
The captain on duty looked anxious, and his palms were full of sweat.
"What did Master Lu say?" He called out to one of his attendants and asked eagerly.
"It's all in chaos in the city." The man spoke.
"Hey, it's a human life!"
Jiangning City is high, but they are not afraid of being attacked in a short time, but they know that there are some green forest heroes among those people outside, and their ability to climb the wall is good, and with the other party's people in the city, they may be opened from the inside.
Therefore, at this time, on the city gate tower in four directions, every city gate official on duty was about to wipe his neck with a sword.
"Kill ......" There was a loud cry from the city, and the sword light slashed the fire, coming straight to the neck.
