Chapter 35: The Heroes (5)
---
I was very embarrassed to be out of work for two days.
Now it's typing with one eye open and one eye closed, and my brother is also desperately retributing. During the new book period, I just looked forward to everyone's recommendation votes!
-----
Seeing that the camp had entered the Chen Mansion, the housekeeper in the old mansion welcomed him in, and several Jinyi guards who had originally been capable looked at each other, even Huyan Baihu, who had always been surnamed Ge Jian and resolute, also sank his face, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
The dignified head of the country's cabinet, the de facto prime minister, the secretary of the order to collaborate with the enemy, what else can this country say?
It's just the death of the country.
"Baihu, what should I do?"
One left and one right, both are the general banners of the Jinyi Guard, and they are also the only remaining people in this secret service agency who can do things, at this time, Xiao Li and Gao Sheng also had no idea, and only watched Huyan Aobo in a daze.
"Naturally, it's to keep an eye on it."
Huyan Aobo was also restrained at first, but now he was calm, he smiled coldly, and said: "We martial artists don't care so much, we will do a day's errands on our bodies, even if we are all collaborating with the enemy, we have done our duty, and that's it." ”
The meaning of these words is also very clear, the errand still has to be done, but there is no need to work hard.
Anyway, if you eat this salary and take this money, everyone has reached this point, and it is the right emperor and ancestors.
"Wait......" Huyan Aobo smiled faintly and said: "Staring at them for a while, looking for the old nest, and reporting to the top to know, how to deal with it, but it is not our head and tail." Early tomorrow morning, let's investigate the thieves who robbed the big families in Beijing! ”
……
……
A few brocade guards were waiting outside Chen's mansion, and there were also a few people walking slowly on the head of the Chaoyang Gate, talking and laughing loudly at the dark city.
The Ming Dynasty was originally the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and the regulations were not small. At the beginning, Emperor Ming Taizu Fengyan Wangju stopped here, because the city and palace were much more than ordinary princes, and Taizu had to explain to the kings.
Later, Emperor Chengzu set the Dingding Nanjing, but like Emperor Taizu, he was afraid that there was no one in the north, so he set the national policy of the Son of Heaven to guard the country, and in 20 years, the inner city and the palace city were rebuilt, and in the Jiajing period, the outer city was repaired, and the defense pattern of the entire Beijing division was really settled.
Now the city wall of this Chaoyangmen section was built in Yuan, it was called Qihua Gate back then, and then it was repaired, and it was successful in the orthodox four years, because it was the key to transport grain into the city, and it was very close to the inner court, so the Chaoyangmen Pass was also extremely important, and it was a very important city gate in the nine gates of the inner city.
The person who inspected this place was the current military squire Wang Jiayan, holding a lantern in one hand, and following him around, of course, Feng Kaizhang and Wei Yue.
The old minister, who is nearly sixty years old, went to the city from the dark sky, from Zhengyang to Xuanwu, and then from Xuanwu to Dongzhi, and finally walked back from Dongzhi Gate and toured Chaoyang Gate.
Although the head of the city is wide and solid, it is better to walk than on the street, but in the middle of the night the wind is fierce, and the wind is unobstructed, even if several people are wearing thick cotton jackets, they are still blown cold.
Seeing that the wind was getting smaller, and there was still a little meaning to stop, Feng Kaizhang said: "My lord, it's better to go down to the city to rest for the time being, the city gate guards and shops should also take a look, just check the battlements at the head of the city, it's not interesting." ”
"You see that the sky is about to snow, and you can't hold it anymore when you look at the old man, right?"
Along the way, they took care of each other, although their identities and ages are very different, but Wang Jiayan is funny and a respectable minister, so the three of them are already very familiar, and when they talk, they have a lot less scruples.
It's also wonderful to think about, a national courtier, the son of a civil official family, with a sword to protect the military attache of the Beijing camp, three people and two lanterns, just in this Yanjing city back and forth, the head is the dark sky, surrounded by the sound of the wind, the night wind is cold and snowy, in the lonely battlements of the city around the place, this feeling, is really wonderful.
As if he was also moved by this atmosphere, Wei Yue pulled his lips and smiled, but the eyes that looked at Wang Jiayan were also warm and respectful, and he said: "My lord, the eldest prince is a young man, and we are martial artists who practice martial arts...... Adults may wish to go down to the city to take shelter from the wind and cold, look at this day, it is also about to snow......"
"Hmph, don't worry about it."
Wang Jiayan waved his hand resolutely, and his voice was already a little louder: "Wei Yue, you are also eating Jingying offerings, you see, we came all the way, the old man counted, there are more than 5,300 battlements, three city towers, two urn cities, more than a dozen Tibetan caves, you see, but is there a person in the city?" ”
"It's too cold...... Wei Yue smiled slightly bitterly and said, "If it is warmer, I'm afraid I can still meet one or two patrolling teams, but now on this day, I am afraid it will be more difficult to go to the city." ”
"It can't go on like this!" Wang Jiayan raised his face, revealing full stubbornness, he said: "Back then, Lord Li had a lantern and patrolled more than 19,000 battlements in the inner and outer cities, so the city defense was one of them, and now the old man is not talented, only the effective law is the former sage, and the battlements of the city tower and the soldiers and caves are all cleared, and then please investigate and deal with it strictly, which can probably be more rigorous...... Don't say it, either continue to accompany the old man, or the old man will move forward by himself! ”
This old man is stubborn enough, and Feng Kaizhang and Wei Yue can only look at each other and smile bitterly...... Is there anything else that can't be said but to follow?
"How?"
The old man was puffing up and still asking.
It's no wonder that he is so vigorous, as a squire of the military department, he has a deep responsibility in the military, and he is also the assistant minister of Rong Zhengaxe, and the city defense of the Beijing division has a lot to do with him.
Now the patrol has been for so long, not to mention that there is no fixed post holding a guard at the head of the city, and even the patrol team has not encountered one, such a large city wall, although it is thick and solid, tall and majestic, the corner tower, the arrow tower, the Tibetan soldier tower, the shooting port, the urn city, the female wall, what defense is complete...... But what can we do without the soldiers who defend the city, and the walls are ten times as tall?
The state has come to this point, and it is really full of desolation in the last days.
"My lord......" Looking at the angry Wang Jiayan, Feng Kaizhang pointed to the top of his head and said with a smile: "It's snowing." ”
……
……
Sure enough, it was snowing, the snow fell tightly and densely, and the wind was fierce in the evening, and the cold wind was howling, standing on the city wall near the Chaoyang Gate, looking forward, everywhere, it was the darkness that could not be seen at a glance, and the people who saw it were palpitating and frightened, and they did not dare to take another look.
Looking back at the south, only see the most vivid in the palace city, is a lamp or fixed, or wandering palace lamp illumination, although the sky is full of wind and snow, it is difficult to see far, but can still be in the distance of the lamp, distinguish the majestic figure of the three major halls.
In addition to the palace ban, in the courtyard of the rich and noble family near Chaoyangmen, you can vaguely see the lights, but in addition, there is darkness and silence everywhere.
Only the heavy snow falling under the shadow of the lamp, whether rich or poor, whether there is a shadow or a darkness, is generally diligent falling.
But under the cover of the night, the people who did their own misdeeds did not have the heart to look at the city so much, but the snow was so heavy that they could not open their eyes, and it was more and more difficult to do things in such weather.
"Old Ren, She Da, you tell your subordinates to hurry up."
"Into the mother, no matter how light this little girl's skin is, there are more than 100 catties, you can carry it upside down!"
"Several of my brothers have been broken, alas, this time is really full of bad luck."
"But your brother is not mine? At this time, what are you going to share with each other! ”
"That's not ......" It was Baihu surnamed Duan who broke all his henchmen, and at this time he groaned: "The corpse was not snatched out, although it was cut on the face, but in a hurry, it was not very badly drawn, if it was checked......
"Phew!" She Baihu spit a mouthful of saliva, he just fell a head of snow, at this time shook his head, the snow on his head fell, but he looked a lot more energetic, only a cruel smile at the moment, said: "I'm afraid of him a bird, although he didn't succeed this time, but he happened to snatch this little lady out, this little lady I know, first Tian Huangqin got it in Jiangnan, and then I wanted to give it to the emperor to enjoy, the emperor was very roundabout, afraid that this woman's fox would harm the master, and sent it out of the palace without receiving it, and then it was this Wu Sangui who took over and was spoiled as a treasure...... We have this little lady in hand, are we afraid that there will be no large amount of silver? Wait for the money to arrive......"
He didn't say the words below.
If you say that you will give the money to the prince again, I am afraid that even the ghosts will not believe it. Everyone grabbed the head, grabbed the slippery hand, and it was impossible to return to the way it was before. When the money arrived, everyone fled in all fucking directions, in this troubled world, incognito, and afraid that they would not be able to find a place to stay?
These words are also said to be determined in the hearts of everyone. It's just that everyone is strange in their hearts, how did a person who was originally a serious military attache and a loyal person become a robber, and now he plans to be a pole for tying up tickets?
This is uneasy, and after a while, it was blown away by the heavy snow, seventeen people moved, and folded six in the Wu Mansion, the gang of generals really did it, and they were skilled in martial arts and reaction archery, none of them were bad, everyone fought to the death, and they happened to snatch this hostage in the inner house, so they escaped by luck.
At this time, I carried this little lady of Wu Mansion to the city with a cloth bag, rested for a while, and made sure that there were no chasing soldiers, and then made plans.
"It seems that no one is chasing after him......" Duan Baihu fell with snow on his face, his long beard was full of ice slag, he leaned on the battlements, and said with a smile: "With this kind of ghost weather of his grandmother, naturally there will be no one in the city...... In this situation, who the fuck will come to the city......"
Before he could say a word, he was like a ghost, trembling his hands, pointing to the orange light not far away, and eating: "Look! ”
There was no need for him to remind him, a dozen or so wandering ghosts could also see clearly, and there were several figures under the two lanterns, hurrying towards him.
"Who is it and what are you doing?"
Not far away, under the lights, there was already an old voice shouting and asking, everyone was a military attache of the country, and the voice of the big man had been listened to countless times, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that the person who asked the question must be a big man who was in a high position and held a lot of power!
"What should I do?"
The faces of the people were full of panic, and in their eagerness, sweat broke out on their foreheads on such a cold day. Only the Duan surnamed Baihu looked hideous, and made an obvious movement towards his neck.
Looking at him, everyone nodded, and for a moment they were calm, they all pulled out the weapons they were wearing, and touched the lights to the light.
