Chapter 57: Injuries
"Xiao Xiucai, it's getting late, it's time for me to go...... Otherwise, the Harbin Gong Guild will be worried! ”
Duoduo broke free from Zheng Yanqing's hands.
She looked at the sky and said quietly: "Xiao Xiucai, remember to come and see me, don't let me wait in Shu for too long." ”
Zheng Yanqing nodded, "Then I'll send you." ”
"No, I can go back myself."
"If I don't send you, will I let you climb over the wall again?"
Zheng Yanqing said with a smile, and Duoduo's face blushed. It was getting late, and Zheng Shi'an and the others also went to bed early.
Yan Qing and Duoduo walked along the corridor, through the middle hall, and came to the back of the gate.
The person on duty tonight is a party soldier.
He glanced at Duoduo beside Zheng Yanqing strangely, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: Who is this little lady? When did I come to Fuchu, and why didn't I know anything about it? However, the son is really powerful, and there is a little lady of the Pei family on one side, who is also as beautiful as a flower...... Hehe, but I don't know how to choose Childe in the future?
Of course, Zheng Yanqing didn't know Dang Shixiong's thoughts, and walked out of the gate of Zheng's mansion with Duoduo.
He asked Dang Shixiong to bring two horses and personally helped Duoduo to get on the horse.
"Xiao Xiucai, don't you want to send me...... It's not too far from here to my quarters, and I can go back alone. ”
"How can that be, this black light is blind, if everyone takes care of you, how can I rest assured?"
As he spoke, Yan Qing pulled the saddle and took the lantern from Dang Shixiong's hand, "Okay, don't argue anymore, I'll send you back." ”
Although Duoduo refuses on the lips, her heart is sweet.
At the moment, he no longer shirked, walked side by side with Zheng Yanqing, and walked towards the outside of the square.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, the party soldier shook his head, "It is said that scholars are very romantic, and the son is young and has the style of a celebrity." ”
It's cost-effective, stepping on two boats, is it a Baume & Mercier?
Zheng Yanqing didn't know what Dang Shixiong thought, and he couldn't help him if he knew.
It has passed, if according to the rules, the gate of Huairenfang should be closed at this time. After the end of the day, it belongs to the night ban period. Except for the three major markets, most of the other places in the inner squares are closed.
However, it is said that the door is closed, but if someone calls the door, it will still be open.
At least Zheng Yanqing came back late a few times, and he only shouted a voice, and the night watchman in the workshop would immediately open the door.
The door of the fang was closed, Zheng Yanqing urged him to step forward, and was just about to shout, but he saw Huairen Fangli Zheng, with a team of soldiers, and stopped him.
Since the great cause, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty has still been very strict in the management of household registration.
He continued the household registration system established by Gao Ying that year, and on this basis, he set up a three-level grassroots management system of Bao, Li and the Party with the family as the unit. Five are one guarantee, with a chief of security; Five guarantees for one mile, with a lizheng; Wuli is a party, and a party leader is established. The three-tier system is closely related. One practice, Li Zheng and the party leader are implicated.
The surname of Li Zheng in Huairenfang is Wang, and he has a lot to do with the Zheng family.
He was also a vassal of the Zheng family in his early years, and later because someone in his family had made meritorious deeds, he was rewarded with land and established as Lizheng. This Wang Lizheng is still a distant relative of Wang Zheng, and has always had close contacts with Zheng Shi'an.
"Wang Lizheng!"
Zheng Yanqing looked at Wang Lizheng in surprise, "...... are you?"
Wang Lizheng also saw Zheng Yanqing on the horse clearly, signaled the twenty soldiers behind him to put away their weapons, stepped forward and sang a fat song: "It turned out to be Zheng Gongzi...... It's so late, where are you going? This lady is ......"
"Oh, this is a distant relative of mine, who lives in Shuzhong. It was getting late, and I was worried that it would be dangerous for her to go back alone, so I wanted to send her back to the inn. ”
Wang Lizheng glanced at the soldiers behind him, "Gongzi Zheng, you wait a moment." ”
He hurried over to a man who looked like an officer, and whispered a few words in his ear. The officer's face was gloomy at first, but gradually, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded slightly, and followed Wang Li as he stepped forward.
"Humble Wang Hu, the second brigade and six teams of the 33rd Mansion and the 1st Regiment under the command of General Xiaowei on the right, see Zheng Gongzi, the commander of the cloud cavalry."
Under the command of the Sui Dynasty, the government military system was implemented.
There are a total of 634 prefectures in the country, which are subordinate to the 12 Wei and the 6 rates of the East Palace.
The house, that is, the Zhichong house, consists of regiments, brigades, teams, and fire levels. Its officers were named Captain, Brigade Commander, Team Commander and Fire Commander.
When Zheng Yanqing heard about this Wang Hu's military position, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
Why did you change to the official and military duty tonight? For a long time, most of the soldiers on night duty in the fang are mainly young and strong from each square. This suddenly turned into a night patrol by the officers and soldiers, apparently an accident. Zheng Yanqing how not to be shocked.
Right Xiaowei is under the command of Changsun Sheng.
But when he was studying in Perak Hall at noon, he didn't hear Changsun Sheng talk about it.
Yan Qing hurriedly dismounted, and at the same time motioned for Duoduo to dismount as well.
"Team Wang is ......"
"Hehe, Zheng Gongzi don't be polite. Speaking of which, my uncle is still recuperating in your mansion and has never been able to thank you in person. ”
"Your uncle is ...... Grandpa Tiger? ”
"Exactly."
Wang Hu said, glanced at Duoduo next to him, and then pulled Zheng Yanqing to the side, "Zheng Gongzi, you'd better be at home tonight, don't go out." The general, Fang Fu Yin and Puyang County Gong jointly signed a military order, and the doors of each square were closed tonight, and no one was allowed to go out without authorization. Now all the night watchmen in each square have been taken over by military non-commissioned officers...... If it weren't for Wang Lizheng's acquaintance with you, you had just come over, and I am afraid it would have caused a conflict. Please forgive me. ”
Changsun Sheng, Fang Yanqian, and Yu Wenshu signed a military order?
Zheng Yanqing's heart was even more nervous.
"Do you know why you did that?"
"I heard...... It seems that there are anti-thieves haunting. The general ordered, but anyone who still lingered in the street after midnight, first take it and then deal with it.
You are a disciple of the Great General, of course there will be no problem.
However, military orders are like mountains, and the duties of humility are really not accommodating. Your friend, it's good to say that if you are from Xiangyang, I'm afraid you will be in trouble. For the sake of humble duty, you better not go out, let your friend, spend the night in the house. It is estimated that after dawn, it will be able to pass and return to normal...... It's also dangerous to go out now. ”
Secretly gasp!
Zheng Yanqing forced a smile and arched his hand: "If it weren't for Brother Wang's words, I would have almost caused trouble." In that case, I'll go back first. ”
After speaking, he thanked him again, put the lantern in the saddle, held the reins with one hand, and grabbed Duoduo's arm with the other, "Sister, tonight is forbidden in the city, in my opinion, it is better to stay in my house for one night, and then leave tomorrow." ”
From Zheng Yanqing's hand, Duoduo already knew that things were not good.
She wanted to struggle, but was glared at by Zheng Yanqing and immediately stopped resisting.
Silently followed Zheng Yanqing back, Zheng Yanqing said in a low voice: "Don't look back, let's talk about it when we get home." ”
Dang Shixiong was just about to close the door, but found that Zheng Yanqing and Duoduo were back.
hurriedly stepped forward to ask, but saw Zheng Yanqing throw the reins of the horse to Dang Shixiong, and then pulled Duoduo and hurriedly walked to the house.
"Is this out for a walk, is it so urgent?"
He scratched his head, a little puzzled, which one Zheng Yanqing was singing, and he seemed to be a little impatient.
―――――――――――――――――――――――― Tianjin bridgehead, shouts and killings came and went.
Columns and columns of soldiers poured in from all directions, numbering thousands.
Some were armed with lances, others with bows and knives. The husky is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and it is impervious to wind and rain.
Dozens of soldiers rushed over with their guns, and the huskies shouted angrily and waved their knives forward.
His knife technique is very simple, which is to pick and stab. The four-foot-long horizontal knife, even if it is special, is only thirty or forty catties. And the weight of the rifles on the opposite side is heavier than the horizontal knife. But when the knife and lance hit, the lance was broken apart. One soldier after another was picked out by the husky, and after each soldier was picked and killed, he would inevitably break the bones and tendons of four or five soldiers. A horizontal knife, but it has the upper hand. Despite the crowd of soldiers, the huskies are not afraid at all. I only heard him shouting and shouting, flying with horizontal knives, and killing the officers and soldiers to retreat again and again.
On the head of Duanmen City in the distance, Fang Yanqian and Yu Wenshu both showed shocked expressions.
"I haven't seen him for twenty years, and Hader's martial arts are getting more and more terrifying."
Yuwenshu recognized the husky and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
Fang Yanqian also frowned, and said softly: "County Lord, this husky really deserves to be the number one master in Chang'an back then." ”
Yuwenshu had no words, just silently, watching the battle at Tianjin Qiaotou.
The huskies rushed left and right, and they couldn't remember exactly how many people they had killed. After forcing the official army away, he jumped into the air, wanting to escape from the upper three roads. However, among the officers and soldiers, there seems to be a master, every time the husky jumps, he always shoots an arrow, forcing him out of mid-air, and has to fall into a bitter battle again.
"Eldest grandson Ji Sheng, you have the courage to fight me!"
The husky was covered in blood, and shouted: "Hiding in the shadows and casting cold arrows is not the hero's doing." ”
"Chief Ha, the lower official is now saying that he is ordered to kill the thief, not to fight with you.
I know that you are strong in martial arts, and twenty years ago in Chang'an, you had the reputation of being the number one master. Fighting alone, the lower officials are willing to bow to the wind. ”
"Shameless!"
The husky roared angrily, snatched a lance, and swept away thousands of troops with a round blow, killing several soldiers on the spot.
Seeing this, Changsun Sheng couldn't help frowning secretly.
This husky has obviously reached the realm of transformation, and its strength is endless, if it continues to fight like this, I am afraid of heavy casualties.
"Mai Zhuguo, please also lead your troops to entangle this fang, and I will cooperate with you."
"It's long overdue!"
Behind Changsun Sheng, a general shouted: "The children will dodge for me, and I will take this fang's head." ”
As he spoke, he walked like a fly, and a beautiful knife hung from the horizontal knife in his hand, whistling and slashing at the husky. The husky slashed with his backhand, breaking away the unstoppable blow of the wheat iron rod, and staggered the punch and slammed it fiercely into the wheat iron staff.
Mai Tiezhu didn't know how powerful this husky was, smiled coldly, and turned the knife and pushed it horizontally.
Hearing Peng's voice, Mai Tiecane's arm was numb from the shock, the tiger's mouth burst out, and the blood was dripping, and he almost couldn't hold the weapon in his hand. On the other hand, the husky's fist is unharmed. The husky smiled darkly and stabbed with a step.
At the same time, I heard a thunderclap in the air.
A sharp arrow appeared as if out of thin air, shooting directly at the husky. The husky had to abandon the rod and slash over the arrow. The sharp arrow exploded, and the husky knife was also shattered, taking two steps back.
"Good archery, is this the thunderbolt arrow of the Thunderbolt Hall?"
"Please also ask the manager to advise ......"
After Changsun Sheng finished speaking, he took a deep breath, pulled his bow and arrows, and seemed to be extremely random and arrows, but the arrows were connected, and the whistling sound did not stop.
The huskies had to block again and again, and on the one hand, they had to be careful of the attacks of other soldiers.
At this moment, I only heard a tiger roar, "Get out of the way for me, wait for this general, and kill this fang." ”
A red horse rushed forward from the crowd. The horse is like a dragon, and the man is like a tiger. A phoenix wings gilt boring in his hand, I saw the person dancing with his hands, and in the blink of an eye he arrived in front of the husky.
The phoenix wings gilt boring hangs with a sharp roar, like a thousand pounds.
The husky didn't have time to dodge, and swung his knife to meet it, only to hear the sound of the bell, and the husky took a few steps back, opening his mouth and spurting out a mouthful of blood. And the war horse also retreated. The general was nine feet tall, with a face like a crown of jade, and a broad shoulder and a round waist. A piece of Tang Yibao armor hung on his body, and his hand holding the weapon kept trembling.
"General Tempo?"
"It deserves to be the number one master in Chang'an, and it is really powerful."
The general immediately shouted: "It's a pity, you have good skills, you don't want to serve the country, but you plot wrong."
Today, Yuwen Chengdu was ordered to kill the thief...... Husky, eat me one more boring. ”
Ma Xiyu hissed under the crotch, and Yuwen Chengdu rushed towards the husky again.
At the same time, Mai Tie couldn't pounce with a knife, and the forced huskies couldn't dodge, so they could only fight hard and fight Yuwen Chengdu again. The horizontal knife was broken, but it broke the phoenix wings gilt boring of Yuwen Chengdu. The husky roared angrily, and after the three-legged chain forced back the wheat iron staff, he turned around and rose into the air, and threw himself towards Yuwen Chengdu.
He was bare-handed...... Isn't it looking for death?
Yuwen Chengdu was feeling strange in his heart, so he heard Mai Tiezhu shouting: "Chengdu be careful, this guy's fist is more powerful than a knife." ”
It's too late, it's fast, and the husky has already arrived in Yuwen Chengdu.
He also knew that he might not be able to escape this time. Since you can't escape, the surname Suo is happy, so let this Yuwen Chengdu be a funeral. The dantian sinks and slams with fists. Yuwen Chengdu is a long weapon, and he couldn't turn it back for a while, so he lifted the reins, and the sweaty BMW Xi Yu Yu hissed under his crotch, and his front hooves rose up, blocking the husky's fist.
The BMW hissed miserably, and blood sprayed.
The husky's fist, like a sharp blade, sank directly into the BMW's chest.
I saw that the husky was covered in blood, roared, and pulled out a bloody horse heart. The war horse fell to the ground and was crushing Yuwen Chengdu's body. The husky strode towards Yuwen Chengdu again, and Changsun Sheng's sharp arrow had already arrived in front of him.
Thirteen arrows in a row, the arrows are fierce and treacherous.
The husky was accidentally shot through the thigh by a sharp arrow, and his leg was weak and he almost fell.
At this time, another general, riding a horse and twisting a gun, pounced from the crowd. The husky hurriedly rolled, dodging the person who would kill him, and just about to stand up, the wheat iron rod pounced forward from behind and slashed the husky in the shoulder.
Blood gushed out, but the husky seemed to be completely unconscious, and his intact right leg spun in place, and he punched the shoulder of the rod.
This punch made Mai Tiezhu scream and abandon the knife and retreat.
After Changsun Sheng fired thirteen arrows in a row, he puffed up the spirit of the dantian and pulled the bow again.
But at this moment, a violent cough made him unable to catch his breath, and his mouth spurted red blood.
Damn, this old mistake was made at this time!
Changsun Sheng has a qi disease, so he can't work too hard. The reason why he stayed in Luoyang this time was precisely because of this problem.
However, the battle had reached a white-hot stage, and Changsun Sheng had to straighten up again, take a deep breath, and shoot arrows in a row. And in the battlefield, the husky was also injured repeatedly. Yuwen Chengdu lost his war horse, and his hands danced with gilt boring, and his voice became more ferocious. And although the wheat iron staff was broken in the shoulder, he still commanded the soldiers and swarmed up.
The most terrifying thing is that there are two generals right away.
Yu Zhongwen and Tu Wanxu, one with a spear and the other with a double whip, entangled the husky and made him difficult to parry. One was not paying attention, and the husky's left leg was swept by a gilt bore of phoenix wings. What a divine power Yuwen Cheng is, this boring down, hit the husky half of his leg and flew out. The husky, who only hurt, screamed, and the eldest grandson Sheng's arrows had arrived, and the husky's body was hit by arrows in a row, and Tu Wanxu rushed over and whipped him on the shoulder.
body, pierced by several spears...... The husky spat blood foam in his mouth, and stood on one leg at the head of the Tianjin bridge.
When it was past the ugly time, Mai Tiezhu and Changsun Sheng walked in front of the people with the support of the guards.
Changsun Sheng coughed violently and kept coughing, and every time he coughed, it was as uncomfortable as tearing his heart and lungs.
"Put his corpse away."
Yuwen Chengdu suddenly said: "Such a hero shouldn't be unable to fall even a whole corpse...... Grandpa, what do you think? ”
Gongyu Wenshu and Fang Yanqian of Puyang County also stepped forward surrounded by soldiers.
The tragic fight on the Tianjin Bridge was completely unexpected by the two. One of Mai Tiecane's arms was wasted, and Changsun Sheng's old illness recurred. Yuwen Chengdu's bloody horse was killed in battle, and in addition, nearly two hundred Xiaoguo were killed.
And all this, just to kill a person?
Yuwen Shu couldn't help but smile bitterly, stepped forward and asked softly: "General, what do you think?" ”
Mai's iron rod was shattered in the shoulder, and he was held up, grinning his teeth.
"General Tianbao is right, this is a real hero."
Changsun Sheng covered his mouth and kept coughing up blood, but he also agreed with Yuwen Chengdu's opinion: "Although Mr. Hade is a remnant of the previous dynasty, his loyalty really makes us admire. Such heroes should have their whole corpses. ”
Yu Zhongwen and Tu Wanxu are also respectful.
"In that case, then according to what the generals say."
Fang Yanqian stepped forward to ask, and saw that Changsun Sheng's face was sallow, and he couldn't help but be a little worried: "General, you're okay." ”
"It's the first time in my life I've met such a fierce man...... This guy is simply a monster.
I'm fine, it's just an old illness. Just go back and take a rest, Fang Fu Yin don't have to worry, you still have important things to deal with. As soon as the husky died, the remnants of the Great Zhou must have no power to resist. The top priority is to find King Zhao's blood.
After dawn, it is necessary to appease the people of Luoyang...... It was handed over to Lord Yin of the Puyang County Gonghe Mansion. ”
"Your Majesty will arrive in Luoyang in three days, and several generals should have a good rest."
Changsun Sheng and others, under the escort of the pro-army of various provinces, returned home.
Yuwen Chengdu stayed behind and was responsible for the finishing touches. Looking at the corpses everywhere in front of them, Fang Yanqian and Yu Wenshu's eyes showed helplessness.
However, in desperation, the two of them felt relieved.
(To be continued)
