Chapter Ninety-Five: The Inner Ghost
After repelling the first round of attacks of the Qing army, it was time for lunch, and the people from the Chamber of Commerce brought some food to the city tower****
"Lord Zheng, let's have a drink" A servant of the Chamber of Commerce walked to Zheng Jue's side with a lunch box
"Don't drink, military affairs are important, you? What are you doing here?! Zheng Jue was too familiar when he heard this voice, and when he looked up, he found that it was Li Yue standing beside Zheng Jue dressed as a servant with a meal
"Well, actually, I didn't bring any wine, count you as acquaintances!" Zheng Jue stood up and pulled Li Yue closer to the city tower
"Why are you here? Didn't I let you play with Xiao Lin from the palace? What are you doing here? It's dangerous, I don't know! Zheng Jue was a little angry, this is the battlefield, and female dependents can't come according to military regulations
"I'll see if you're dead! Can't you? I do! Li Yue looked unreasonable and glared at Zheng Jue
Suddenly, it smashed on the city wall with a "boom", and Zheng Jue felt a shock under his feet
"Your Excellency, the Tartars are attacking the city with cannons," Zeng Yi ran over and said to Zheng Jue
"All staff avoid the cannon, the Tartars can't come up, be careful!" The Ming army on the city wall avoided the artillery, and Kong Youde outside the city was about to have a headache, Kong Youde watched his cannon from Liaodong to Zhedong, smashed on this city wall, and didn't even make a brick, so he added a white spot on this wall, how could he not have a headache
Zheng Jue also saw the Qing army's cannonballs smashed on the cement city wall, which did not cause any use, and seemed to be able to imagine Kong Youde's old face in anger
As the battering ram smashed on the gate of Jingyuan, Kong Youde watched his subordinates throw nearly a thousand corpses under Jingyuan City and it was useless, and finally Mingjin reluctantly withdrew his troops
"Zhu Junmen, send a code" Kong Youde said to Zhu Zhijian angrily and walked into the tent
Jingyuan Qin family
"Shopkeeper, the signal has been sent," the Qin family's housekeeper found his master and said
The shopkeeper in the mouth of the Qin family's housekeeper is called Qin Yanding, who is the director of the Rongchang Chamber of Commerce, after Wang Tianlin was raided, Zhu Zhijian sent someone to contact him, but Qin Yanding is different from Wang Tianlin, Qin Yanding's courage is much greater than Wang Tianlin's, and he is not afraid of Zhu Zhijian's threat at all, and after the establishment of the Rongchang Chamber of Commerce, Qin Yanding is more and more unwilling to deal with Zhu Zhijian, but a few days ago, Zhu Zhijian sent someone to bring chips, which really made Qin Yanding tempted - after the war, he promised Qin Yanding to be the lord of Jingyuan City, Only then did Qin Yanding agree to Zhu Zhijian's request
After Qin Yanding heard the news of Zhu Zhijian coming, his mood was very complicated, it may be that he was afraid of the long-term accumulation of troops in Jingyuan Town, but Qin Yanding felt that the temptation of the Jingyuan City Lord was also very great
"Qin San, go and prepare, after the matter is completed, there will be a heavy reward!" After thinking about it, Qin Yanding felt that the Qing army still had a relatively high chance of winning, after all, they all fought from Shanhaiguan to Guangxi, and it was the general trend to enter the Central Plains.
Qin San, the housekeeper of Qin, retired and left Qin Yanding's bedroom
Zheng Jue and Li Yue were arguing on the city tower, the first time the two of them quarreled so lively, probably because Zhu Youlang and Li Lin were dumped by Li Yue......
"What are you doing here? Can you make less trouble for me!? Zheng Jue was angry that Li Yue ran to such a dangerous place without telling him, and Li Yue is also very aggrieved now, after all, he was scolded for caring about him, even if he knew that it was for his own good, he had some small grievances in his heart
"I didn't mess with you, isn't it okay?" Li Yue whispered his defense
Zheng Jue has been under a lot of pressure by the Qing army soldiers in the past few days, and Li Yue's defense is like throwing a spark into the oil pot, and Zheng Jue exploded in an instant
"What more do you want? Broken arms and legs? Zheng Jue suddenly shouted loudly, and Li Yue felt that his ears were almost deaf because of this sound
Li Yue's eyes were red, and he whispered
"Oh, I'm sorry to bother you and I'm leaving"
Li Yue left the city tower quickly, Li Yue's heart was very aggrieved, obviously to care about him, but he was scolded, and he was really angry, tears fell from his face, Li Yue didn't wipe it, let the wind blow the tears to the ground
Li Yue walked down the stairs of the city wall, and when he walked to the corner, he suddenly found that there were no sentries around, and he didn't think much about it, and continued to walk down, but he happened to see a few people who looked like people turning the two big winches of Jingyuan City Gate, and the large gate of nearly 10,000 catties in Jingyuan had risen a little half, and the soldiers guarding the winches had been put down to the ground
After Qin Yanding saw Li Yue stunned for a moment, he sneered and teased, "Whose Xiao Si is this?" It's pretty delicate, don't be a woman pretending to be a man, right? I'll go home with my lord and keep you clothed and fed for the rest of your life, hahaha"
Li Yue didn't expect that she would be recognized by this obscene uncle at a glance dressed as a man, and instinctively stepped back, but when she looked back, it was already dark behind her, even if she called for help or ran, although she would attract people, but at that time, she would definitely never see Zheng Jue again
Li Yue was stunned there, watching the two family members with daggers approaching Li Yue, their legs were already frightened, and they didn't know what to do
Zheng Jue also felt that he had gone too far, so he reluctantly came out to chase Li Yue, asked the sentries along the road, and suddenly felt more and more panicked, and immediately went to chase Li Yue, until Zheng Jue saw the scene that made him frightened - several people approached Li Yue with daggers
Zheng Jue took out a pistol from his waist and aimed it at a family, and a hot bullet shot into the chest of the family, and at the same time, this shot also broke the tranquility of Jingyuan, and the sentinels on the city wall and around them raised torches and rushed here
Zheng Jue ran down quickly, hugged Li Yue, and pointed a pistol in the other hand at the head of another family, another shot, Qin Yanding saw that he was about to be ruined, picked up a dagger and rushed towards Zheng Jue
When Qin Yanding and Zheng Jue looked at each other for the first time, Zheng Jue recognized Qin Yanding, "It's you?" ”
Qin Yanding gritted his teeth, and the dagger in his hand continued to run towards Zheng Jue's vital point
"What is wrong with you? You want to join the enemy? Zheng Jue didn't understand, this Qin Yanding, whether it was a seat in the Chamber of Commerce or a share in a commercial bank, had a lot, why he came to offer the city to Tartar in the middle of the night
"Because the price they give is high enough!" Qin Yanding said with a hideous face, but there was no intention of stopping in his hand, Zheng Jue could only passively dodge
Zheng Jue felt that this person was crazy, crazy for a pile of stones, Qin Yanding was a pampered businessman who was naturally not Zheng Jue's opponent, Zheng Jue took out his saber and slashed at Qin Yanding's leg, and at this time, the sentry of the brigade had also arrived
