Chapter 489: Yangzhou Festival 3

readx;

At dusk, the nightbirds return to their nests. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoYangzhou City, which has been waiting for a day, is about to usher in a new night.

In the central square, the military temporary settlement site is placed with the corpses of soldiers killed in the Shatuowan battle. They were covered with tarpaulins by brocade guards. From a distance, I didn't know that there were dead people on the side.

"That's a lot of loot this time."

"Hmph, didn't the Tartars shave it out of us?"

"Did you say that the Jinyi Guards would give it to us?"

"It's hard to say......"

The onlookers are either waiting for their relatives or like to watch the excitement. For many people, they are already homeless, and if they can get a share of the so-called spoils, the rest of the day may be better. This is the most realistic idea of the people - those who see have a share!

But they never imagined that the car they saw was not a trophy, but a soldier who sacrificed to defend his family and country!

"It's all at this time, you still want to divide the money, Lao Zhuang, is your son back?"

"Not yet, hey, I don't know when the generals will come back. It's a daunting rush! ”

"It's just that it's good for people to come back......"

……

As the sky was getting late, the people in the city were getting more and more anxious, and at first they could see the excitement, but when they got to the back, they began to feel strange, and they all surrounded the central square.

"General! What about our loved ones? ”

"Yes, General, why haven't you come back yet?"

The people around the central square are getting more and more crowded, and it is becoming more and more difficult for the city defense army to control the situation.

"A few adults, the people are starting to make trouble, how is the discussion?" The black scar is in charge of security, and then he comes in to remind him.

"I said, Lord Black, how majestic you were when you chased our shark gang, why did a few ordinary people rush you like this?" Boss Sha couldn't help but make a joke, in fact, the black devil chased and suppressed the Shark Gang earlier, which was famous in the East China Sea, and almost frightened the bandits in the Yangtze River Delta.

"Because you have knives in your hands, but the common people don't have knives, but with one mouth. Boss Sha should know that I try not to move my mouth if I can use the knife. Hei Sha glanced at Boss Sha and sneered.

"Alright, stop arguing." Zhu Qing finally spoke, "What should come will always come, you can't do it to the people, go, Master Shi, we should go out." ”

Shi Kefa nodded, beckoned his entourage, and followed Zhu Qing and the others out of the center of the square.

"Folks, General Qinglong is back! Come out, everybody. Coming to the center of the city, Shi Kefa shouted loudly.

The people who gathered around to watch gathered one after another. Zhu Qing nodded to Qin Xiang, and Qin Xiang nodded to Heisha, who suddenly lifted a tarpaulin in the center of the city, and dozens of tables were full of wine bowls. Obviously, these wine bowls were all taken from Qin Xianglou.

"Serve!" With a cold drink, several guards lifted the lid of more than a dozen jars of wine on the ground, and poured wine into the wine bowl on the table.

Zhu Qing and Shi Kefa glanced at each other and walked over, the two of them took the lead in holding the wine bowl, and Hei Sha and the others followed suit.

Zhu Qing picked up the wine bowl and turned to the people and said, "Folks, please join us in picking up this bowl of wine and welcome our heroes home!" ”

When the people heard this, they thought it was a wine to catch the wind, and the people in front of them rushed forward excitedly to pick up the wine bowl.

"Warriors of Shatuo Bay, go home!" Zhu Qing held the wine bowl and shouted almost silently.

The people didn't hear much after hearing it, but Jin Yiwei and his party were silent after hearing it.

After Zhu Qing shouted, he spilled the wine in the bowl on the ground with Shi Kefa and others.

Now, the people saw the clues.

"It's not...... General, what's going on? Isn't this spilling wine a tribute to the living?! Sure enough, someone questioned, and as he spoke, he put the bowl back on the table.

"yes, what's going on? What about our loved ones? ”

"Where did you take our relatives?"

……

The people's grievances were ignited, and more and more people fell down the wine bowl in their hands angrily, and they wanted Zhu Qing to ask for an explanation.

At this moment, Hei Sha glanced at Zhu Qing, and Zhu Qing nodded helplessly.

The black demon waved his hand with the soldiers outside the city, and several soldiers carried a coffin into the city gate and walked towards the center of the city.

The premonition in the hearts of the people is getting stronger and stronger, but many people are still discussing and speculating:

"What is this?"

"Who's in there?"

"What the hell is Jin Yiwei going to do?"

……

Undoubtedly, this coffin is Yue Jinglun's, and when the Jinyi guard carried Yue Jinglun's coffin to the center of the city, everyone suddenly quieted down!

In a moment, a heart-rending cry suddenly came from the crowd, and Mrs. Yue rushed out of the crowd, threw herself to the ground, and shouted in pain, "Husband! ……”

At this time, Yue Hong also broke free of Chen Yuanyuan's hand and ran towards his mother, although he was still young, but looking at the coffin in front of him and his grieving mother, he already knew it all, but Yue Hong was not as hysterical as Mrs. Yue, he just knelt beside his mother, while holding his mother and quietly looking at his father's coffin, he did not cry, but the tears fell with a "dad".

Everyone has seen it, and those who know it have followed the sorrow, and the people who watch the excitement still point their fingers.

Zhu Qing walked over and helped the sad mother and son up. Seeing this, Chen Yuanyuan and several other girls stepped forward to comfort the mother-in-law and son.

At this time, the people seemed to have understood more, and they all watched silently, silent.

Zhu Qing motioned to the guards to put down Yue Jinglun's coffin, he gently stroked the general's coffin, and said to the people of Yangzhou, "Folks, you must have guessed that what I said about going home is different from what you think of going home. It's not that I, Zhu Qing, lied to everyone, it's really ....... Zhu Qing said, paused, "In this battle, we wiped out all the Tartars in Shatuo Bay, but ......" Zhu Qing said and said, he felt heavy, at this time, Chen Yuanyuan came to his side, Sai Shiqian and Heisha also came to him, standing together may be more dependent.

"However, General Yue is gone, and many soldiers are gone! The strong men who didn't come back today are all ......," Zhu Qingqiang endured his grief and indignation, and it was difficult to continue.

At this time, there was an uproar among the people, and the soldiers in the center of the city clearly felt a powerful resentment brewing!

Sure enough, as Zhu Qing's meaning was revealed, an old man rushed out and pointed at Zhu Qingdao, "It is inevitable that people will die in war, we can understand this truth." However, why did the people of the Yue family army suffer the most serious casualties! Say, don't you Jinyi Wei use the Yue family army as a shield? ”

The most terrible question was finally spoken. Under the old man's questioning, more and more people pressed towards Zhu Qing. Qinglong, who has always been a soldier, was at a loss at this time, he couldn't treat these people like an enemy, he wanted to eliminate harm for the people from the moment he joined Jinyiwei, but only now did he feel that the people's anger was terrible! The unspeakable resentment and anger are burning and spreading wantonly.

Zhu Qing was protected by Hei Sha, Qin Xiang and others, the Qinglong hero has always protected others, and now he has to rely on the protection of relatives and friends.

Shi Kefa was also worried that something would happen to Zhu Qing, so he led his troops to escort him.

"Calm down, everyone!" Shi Kefa persuaded.

But at this moment, no one listened to the persuasion of him, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, because the anger of the people was already burning.

"Are you using them as shields?"

"You are exchanging the lives of our loved ones for the spoils of war!"

"Do you want to keep this loot to yourself?!"

……

Even Zheng Chenggong was at a loss, he Zheng Jiajun had ever seen the most powerful enemy, but he had never experienced such an unspeakable public anger in front of him. If it had been before, he would have only had to put a shot to make sure no one dared to squeak again. But not now, these people have seized Zhu Qing's weakness, and they expect that Zhu Qing will not dare to do anything to them no matter what. Therefore, words and deeds are becoming more and more unrestrained.

But there is one thing that is different, he won't think about so many feelings, and that is the killer black evil!

Seeing that there are more and more people coming around, there is no way to retreat behind him! Heisha suddenly pulled out a short gun from his pants and fired it into the air with a "bang".

Although the people expected that the Jinyi guards would not dare to do anything to them, the moment they heard the gunshots, everyone suddenly stopped!

The black demon did not relax, he refilled the second bullet, and pointed at the old man!

"Black Evil! Don't mess around! Zhu Qing hurriedly persuaded, and everyone became nervous, and everyone knew Hei Sha's temper. This made him angry, and no one could stop him!

"General, I told you a long time ago that there are some people you can't reason with!" The black slash replied coldly. The muzzle of the gun continued to point at the old man, "I am the black demon, since you have heard of the name of the green dragon, you should also have heard my name." Which one dares me to take another step forward?! The threat of the black evil really began to gradually retreat the people.

"You ...... You're bullying! The old man's whole body trembled, but his mouth was quite hard.

"We bully people?" Hei Sha sneered and walked over to him, "He, the Jinyi Guard is the commander, I, the cold-blooded killer." When did you hear that Qinglong confessed? He alone led 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack Shengjing and break up King Chuang's million-strong army, when did he retreat like today? If the people standing in front of him today were not the people of the Ming Dynasty or the people of Yangzhou, would he back down? You say we bully? Have any of you ever seen such a bully? Heisha must have never said so many words a few times, so he paused and continued, "As soon as General Qinglong heard that Duoduo was attacking the city, he waved his troops south, and sent me an order to lead troops to Yangzhou to support within five days, otherwise I am afraid that Yangzhou will appear on the 10th!" Although I wondered at the time, where did I come from Yangzhou for ten days, but when I went to Yangzhou to see, I knew that Qinglong was worried, if you are like you, you only know how to blame others for bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and you dare not resist foreign enemies but you don't dare to resist foreign enemies, why not ten days?! Today, Jinyi Wei rushed to help Yangzhou, you say we are bullying?! After Heisha finished speaking, the audience was silent, and even Zhu Qing and the others didn't expect that Heisha, who had always been cold, said so many words at once.

But it is undeniable that these words really hit the hearts of many people.

When the audience was quiet, suddenly a person squeezed out of the crowd, this person was wearing a military uniform, but his head was still wrapped in gauze, and he looked like a wounded soldier.

"Dad, what are you talking nonsense about?" This is a soldier of the Yue family's army, and he finally squeezed to the old man's side and scolded, "Do you know how bitter the Battle of Shatuowan was? If it weren't for General Qinglong and Jinyiwei, all of us would have died, and the Tartars would not have been able to annihilate. General Qinglong did not use us as a shield, but let us be the queen of His Palace, but who knew that the Tartars suddenly counterattacked, and the Yue family army suffered such serious losses. General Yue thanked General Qinglong for giving us the opportunity to clear our name, you are ......" The soldier suddenly burst into tears, and for a while, more and more wounded soldiers were crowded in the crowd, and their appearance and telling gradually restored the battle situation at that time. The scene gradually calmed down. After all, there are many Yuejiajun who are originally from Yangzhou, and this is the scene of the outbreak of public anger, but when they hear the words "wash away the crime", the noise is a little less, and they all know that the Yuejiajun once surrendered to the enemy!

"But, why did we Yangzhou people die?" There are still people who are angry that the pain of losing a loved one is difficult to settle.

But the phrase was quickly reprimanded, "Hey! What are you talking nonsense? Do you think you've lost a loved one? Lao Tzu also lost his loved ones! At this time, Boss Sha stood up, "I'm not happy with you saying that Lao Tzu is from the Shark Gang!" ”

When Boss Sha said this, the people couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Boss Sha looked at it and sneered, "Hmph! Not only did I lose my most righteous brother, Brother Yue, but I also went to the entire Shark Gang. Do you know how many people Lao Tzu laid down in Shatuowan? Five thousand! Boss Sha opened his palms and shouted, "The five thousand people are almost gone." ”

"Do you think there is no loss to the Jinyi guard? Although Jinyiwei has good skills, it can be said that one is ten, but thousands of elites have also been lost in Shatuo Bay, whose life is not life? Your relatives and you collect their bodies, but what about my brothers? Yes?! Sha Boss said that in the end, the corners of his eyes moistened, thinking that his shark gang was fighting for the hegemony of the rivers and seas, and it had never been so tragic, this time, it was considered a loss.

Boss Sha shouted angrily, and suppressed the people's anger that raised his head again, even Shi Kefa, who had shouted that he wanted to arrest Boss Sha, was suddenly silent at this moment, he finally knew why Zhu Qing tried his best to protect Boss Sha and the Shark Gang.

But as soon as Sha Lao's atmosphere stopped, there were still people muttering below, "Hmph, you guys have evil retribution!" ”

These words were still heard by Boss Sha, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to cut it down, but was stopped by Zhu Qingxun!

"Boss Sha, stop, if you do this again, I can't protect you!" Zhu Qing drank Boss Sha.

At this moment, a sneer suddenly came from the tent, "Hahaha...... Qinglong, do you see it? This is the person you are desperately trying to save! A bunch of ungrateful people should be conquered in our way! "This man is none other than Dord!

"How did he get out?!" Zhu Qing looked back and was taken aback. Hei Sha also looked dazed suddenly, this was a serious mistake! The appearance of Duoduo at this time is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire!

"Get the hell out of here!" The Black Shar took it upon himself and rushed over to Dordor for an elbow! Duoduo was so painful that he only squatted, but the people still found out that Duoduo was still alive after all!

"How is he still alive?"

"yes, didn't you say all the Tartars? Why is the bandit leader still alive? ”

"Are you colluding with the Tartars?"

…… A new round of anger spreads rapidly!

However, this time, Zhu Qing did not intend to evade and retreat.

"Drag it off!" The black demon taught Duoduo a few punches, and then shouted to the guard.

"Slow!" Zhu Qing suddenly shouted, "Bring him here!" ”

When Shi Kefa and the others heard this, they were taken aback, the original plan was not like this.

"Qinglong?" Shi Kefa asked worriedly.

"Now is the last resort!" Zhu Qing replied in a deep voice.

"In the past!" The Black Shady said, tugging at Duoduo. Duoduo was injured at this time, so naturally he was not as brave as before. I had to look at Hei Sha with a smile and staggered over to Zhu Qing.

"You can still kill the guards, it seems that I really underestimated you!" Duoduo came to Zhu Qing, Zhu Qing stared at him and said coldly.

"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him......"

"If you don't kill him, you're traitors......"

"Kill him! Otherwise, don't blame us for being polite......"

……

The crowd shouted again, but it was clear that the spearhead had already pointed something else. Zhu Qing's decision is correct, the appearance of Duoduo at this time is not necessarily a bad thing, he is the best way to divert the anger of the people!

"Those soldiers are not as shrewd as your brocade guards, no wonder they all died on the battlefield." Duoduo also stared at Zhu Qing and deliberately laughed loudly.

Obviously, this is Dodor's divisive measure. Once again, it provoked the relationship between the people and Jinyiwei, and even provoked the relationship between Shi Kefa and Zhu Qing, because it was actually Shi Kefa's soldiers who were responsible for the personal guards. Now that Duoduo was wounded, he was able to kill two guards, so it's no wonder that he said that Scofa's soldiers were inferior to the Jinyi Guard.

"As I said, I'm not the only one who wants your life, everyone here wants your life! Listen, they're going to collect a debt! Zhu Qing was not provoked by Duoduo, and still responded coldly.

"Qinglong, you don't have to waste words with him, let me kill him with one sword!" Although Shi Kefa listened to Duoduo's words, he would not be easily fooled at that time, knowing that this was Duoduo's discordant plan, he hated it even more, and the knife in his hand was faintly unsheathed.

"General, you see that the mother and son of the Yue family have been lying on General Yue's coffin and crying for a long time, is there anyone here who wants to slaughter this beast with their own hands than his mother?" Ah Jiu said suddenly at this time.

When Hei Sha heard this, he seemed to agree with Ah Jiu's meaning, so he walked up to Yue Hong and handed over the Yue family gun entrusted by Yue Jinglun to him.

"Big nephew! Go, avenge your father with your own hands! Boss Sha next to him said to Yue Hong.

At this time, Duoduo was bound all over his body, almost unable to move, and anyone who could hold a knife and gun could easily kill him.

However, at this moment, Zheng Chenggong suddenly attached to Zhu Qing's ear and said, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate, it is not appropriate for children and enemies." ”

Zheng Chenggong thought that although Yue Hong had the ambition to inherit the glory of the Yue family's gun, after all, he was still young, and carrying the shadow of hatred and murder was not a good thing for his growth! And the reason why Hei Sha handed the gun to Yue Hong would not have thought of this, because since he knew how to hold things, Killing Feng began to train him to use a knife to kill people! And the proposed Ah Jiu girl was also persecuted by the palace since she was a child, and she lived in the rivers and lakes, so her mood was naturally different.

On the other hand, for a soldier, even if the other party is defeated, he should be convinced of the loss, which is the problem of killing and punishing the heart. It is a great shame for Duoduo to let a child kill a prince who is powerless, and of course he will not be convinced!

Killing is not only for the loser, but even the murderer is also burdened with the burden of not being satisfied!

"Qinglong, I look down on you! Either you kill me with a knife now, or you go head-to-head with me! Sure enough, when he heard that he was going to let a child kill him, Duoduo smiled contemptuously at Zhu Qing.

"I'm not going to fight you!" Zhu Qing smiled at the corner of his mouth and walked out.

Zhu Qing came to the mother and son of the Yue family and looked at Yue Hong quietly, although the child was holding the Yue family's gun tightly, his hands were trembling all the time.

"General, please, Yue Hong is still ...... young" Mrs. Yue suddenly pleaded at this time, although the mother and son of the Yue family were sad and indignant, it was obvious that they were not ready to slash the enemy!

Zhu Qing smiled slightly, touched Yue Hong's head, and then took the Yue family's gun from his hand.

"Untie him!" Zhu Qing took the Yue family's gun and turned around and pointed at Duoduo and said to the black.

The black slash was stunned for a moment, but still slashed the ropes and chains off Dodor's body.

"In front of the people of Yangzhou, I will let you die today! Know how much you have done! Zhu Qing said to Duoduo.

"Okay, will you fight me?" Dodor pulled the rope off his body and laughed.

"You are injured, you will definitely not accept it if I win you." Zhu Qing said, suddenly turned to his own soldiers and asked, "Who wants to teach this thief a lesson?!" ”

Zhu Qing's question, no one dared to answer, although they all hated Duoduo in their hearts, but when they said that they wanted to fight with Duoduo, they still weighed it in their hearts, and besides, really powerful soldiers don't want to be strong, just like Zhu Qing said, winning is not a gentleman!

Shi Kefa wanted to do it, but he gave up because of Zhu Qing's humble words.

Just when everyone was talking and Duoduo was laughing at the Ming Dynasty, the door of Qin Xianglou creaked open, "I'm coming!" As he spoke, a staggering figure came out of the door, and it was the time of the race!

"Time has changed!" Qin Xiang saw it and hurriedly ran over to help and dissuade him.

Qin Xianglou's people also surrounded him, but he didn't care about it, his eyes were staring ahead, and he walked out with a pout!

Zhu Qing looked at Sai Shiqian, who had not yet recovered but had a firm expression, and couldn't help but nod and smile.

"General! Let me! Sai Shiqian came to Zhu Qing and said.

Zhu Qing nodded, "Take this Yue family gun!" Zhu Qing said, handing the Yuejia gun to Sai Shiqian.

Sai Shiqian took the gun, nodded resolutely, walked towards Duoduo, passed in front of Yue Jinglun's coffin, Sai Shiqian just bowed lightly, then touched Yue Hong's head, and walked towards Duoduo.

"Give him a knife that is worth it." Zhu Qing said to Heisha, who drew a knife and threw it to Duoduo.

"Be careful!" Qin Xiang shouted at Sai Shi Qian, but Sai Shi Qian didn't have time to answer, because Duoduo's knife had already slashed over.

The two fought a decisive battle, and it was about to break out.

"His injury hasn't healed yet, why are you still letting him fight? Is there still a need to be fair to such people? Qin Xiang came to Zhu Qing's side, although her eyes were firmly fixed on the game, she spoke to Zhu Qing.

Zhu Qing shook his head, "Not really, not because they were both injured, but because of the breath in Brother Shiqian's chest!" ”

When Qin Xiang heard this, he didn't ask any more questions.

"Kill the Tartars, Kill the Tartars, Kill the Tartars......"

The onlookers pinned their revenge and anger on Sai Shiqian.

"Is it okay for him to hurt like this?" Zheng Chenggong hadn't dealt much with Sai Shiqian, so he couldn't help but worry at this time.

"Just wait and see." Zhu Qing smiled lightly.

Sai Shiqian and Duoduo fought for no less than 30 rounds, and they were all brought on, and the loss was quite serious, suddenly, Sai Shiqian gritted his teeth, waved his gun, and shouted angrily, "Take your life!" Before the call fell, the Yue family gun had already pierced Yue Jinglun's chest, and this time, the head of the gun directly pierced Yue Jinglun's body and stabbed out of the back.

"Ahh Sai Shiqian has not stopped, at this moment it seems that all the anger of Yangzhou people has converged on his feet, kicking this kick, Sai Shiqian's mind flashed countless figures, countless Yangzhou miserable ...... a muffled sound, Sai Shiqian kicked heavily in Duoduo's chest, Duoduo fell backwards, Sai Shiqian took advantage of the situation, and pulled the Yuejia gun out of Duoduo's chest.

"Puff ......" A burst of blood spurted, and blood spurted from Duoduo's mouth and chest at the same time, and after a while, his whole body spasmed, struggled a few times, and whimpered, this time, he was really dead!

The onlookers seemed to be still immersed in a fight, but Zhu Qing knew that this was actually a sign of relief, once the goal of the person was achieved, in addition to excitement, there was emptiness, and at that moment, their tense nerves were released, including the fear and hatred buried in their hearts.

While everyone was quietly watching the dead Duoduo, Zhu Qing nodded to the black sha, and the black sha suddenly waved his hand, and the tarpaulins around him suddenly lifted up in unison.

"Folks, lead your relatives back. But before you take them away, please let us toast them with another bowl of send-off wine, because he is also my brother and soldier of my green dragon. At this time, Zhu Qing suddenly knelt on one knee, held up a bowl of wine and said.

Shi Jiajun, Zheng Jiajun, Jin Yiwei, Qin Xianglou, Shark Gang and others also followed Zhu Qing to kneel on the ground one after another, paying tribute to the dead people of Yangzhou and the dead soldiers.

Suddenly, the night sky, which had been gradually darkening, gradually became a little brighter, because the onlookers also knelt down one after another, and some people lit candles.

"Let's go!" Zhu Qing shouted, and everyone shouted, and walked away to interpret all the passing and memorials.

After the whole city worshipped, the people tearfully took away the bodies of their relatives and soldiers, for them, this is the memory.

The unclaimed bodies, under the auspices of Shi Kefa's Zhang Luo and Zhu Qing, opened a cemetery on a hillside in Yangzhou, were cremated en masse, and the first heroic monument of the Ming Dynasty was created.

Boss Sha looked at the monument and couldn't help but sigh, "Brothers, the Shark Gang is gone, but you come out to take a look, there is 'Immortal' engraved in front of this new home of yours!" ”

After the wind and rain, Zhu Qing and the others were returning to Qinxianglou, but Qinxianglou had been burned down, and only the first floor could barely live.

"Boss Qin, will Qin Xianglou still be rebuilt?" Zhu Qing asked casually.

Qin Xiang put his arm around Sai Shiqian's shoulders, shook his head and smiled, "Wait for the next fireworks in March, Yangzhou should be full of spring at that time." ”
