Taiyuan was finally taken, but it was already an empty city.

Last year, when he finally stepped into the city of Taiyuan, Wanyan Zonghan did not have a sense of accomplishment in his heart, but was depressed.

The letter whistle came to report, not only Taiyuan City, but also the neighboring counties, towns and townships, Qingyunbao and Qixingzhai, all of them went to the empty building, and even the chickens and ducks did not leave a single one.

Within a radius of hundreds of miles, hundreds of thousands of animals fled under his nose, so that he didn't touch a single hair.

Wanyan Zonghan had 10,000 thoughts of slaughtering the city in his heart, but the big knife could not be wielded.

"Chu Tianya is from Taiyuan, where is his home?" Wanyan Zonghan asked the attendants, and added at the end, "What about the ancestral tomb?" ”

"Back to the wolf master, the Chu thief's home is in the south of the Shima Bridge, and his family's ancestral tomb ...... It seems to have moved away. The attendant replied cautiously.

Wanyan Zonghan gritted his teeth to the bone, and his face tightened.

"Go to the Chu family and have a look!!"

He added Shi Liai and more than 30 horsemen to ride the Iron Floating Massage, and the group looked at the old house of the Chu family and left.

"Bang-"

The two old wooden doors were kicked over by Wanyan Zonghan himself and fell to the side. As far as the eye can see, there are dilapidated courtyards and scattered vegetation.

Naturally, there is no one at home.

Above the main hall, there is a large square table, but there is a bowl and a sticker on it. There was wine in the bowl, but the handwriting on it was not very beautiful.

"Wolf master, this is the handwriting of the Chu thief, Xiao Sheng recognizes it." Shi Liai picked up the sticker and glanced at it, couldn't help frowning, picked up the wine bowl and was about to throw it away.

"Wait!" Wanyan Zonghan saw the sticker, and said it simply-"The wolf lord has worked hard from afar, please drink it full."

"Bring it!" Wanyan Zonghan stretched out his hand.

"Wolf master, Chu thief is treacherous, I'm afraid it is poisonous." Shi Liai took the bowl and didn't give it.

Wanyan Zonghan's eyebrows twisted, and his eyes flashed.

Shi Liai had no choice but to give the bowl to Wanyan Zonghan.

Wanyan Zonghan drank it all.

"Jiannan Burning Spring!"

Then, he was poisoned. The old house of the Chu family was burned to the ground by a fire, and the bricks and tiles were shattered into powder.

It's not a very powerful poison, the military doctor rescued him immediately, he just vomited up and down for a day and a night.

"Chu thief, slut! I swear to break you to pieces!! ”

Luoyang County is under the jurisdiction of Mengzhou and Jiyuan County.

Jiao Wentong rode on his horse, and the strong wind caressed his long hair and battle robe. There were more than 100 roaring horses behind him, and the murderous aura was awe-inspiring.

Jiyuan County made people wait for dozens, trembling on their knees and bowing to the ground, crawling out. The county commander held the black yarn and official seal in both hands and held it high above his head, and his neck was covered with sweat in the cold weather.

"My lord is benevolent, but you and other officials are suspicious!" Jiao Wentong's voice was like thunder and descended, "Lang'er and other Jiyuan projectile lands, dare to stop me from roaring?" -- This is an important place for the northern defense, and it is suitable for garrison guards. but thou hast rejected it. If you make a mistake and are taken by the golden soldiers, what crime should you be guilty of?! ”

"The death penalty of the little official, the capital crime of the little official!!" The county commander trembled all over, and his mouth was like a stumbling garlic.

"Pick him off his official uniform and pull him to build an embankment!" Jiao Wentong shouted vigorously, and several pawns around him stepped forward and peeled the county order clean like peeling garlic.

"The rest of the people will be retained." Jiao Wen channel, "Those who dare to do their best will be guilty of the same crime as this thief!" ”

"General Xie's grace of not killing, the grace of not killing!!" The county officials knelt on the ground, both panicked and happy in their hearts.

In recent days, Chu Tianya has sent Jiao Wentong and Xue Yu and other generals to collect the territory of various prefectures and counties under the rule of Luoyang County, especially the border areas near the Yellow River. Jiyuan County is an important town under the rule of Luo County, and the county order was also the son of the eunuch of the three lists, and he looked down on Chu Tianya, a group of grass robbers who came from the north, and vowed to "resist the stubborn with a lonely city, and swear to report to the official's family". As a result, it only took Jiao Wentong less than an hour to easily break through the city.

After entering the city, Jiao Wentong did not kill anyone more, and went straight to the county office. When Ji Yuanling heard a shout of killing, he urinated and feces, and threw all his scholarly anger out of the clouds, and the first one came out with the people in the county government to surrender.

Fortunately, Jiao Wentong did not rush to kill everything, but only sanctioned one of the county commanders headed by him, and the rest of the people were reinstated and hired. This made the county officials and others present all glad that they escaped death.

"At the time of national crisis, all my compatriots must work together to fight against the gold thief." Jiao Wentong said loudly, "From now on, Jiyuan will act on the orders of the Henan Xuanfu Division - come and put up a banner!" ”

"No—"

After a while, the Song-character banner on the Jiyuan County Ya was replaced with the "General Chu" banner.

Within one day, the six counties of Mengzhou were full of Chu flags. Everywhere Jiao Wentong went, he was like a quick knife cutting through the mess, unstoppable.

The next day, the general Ma Kuan led 30,000 Qingyun infantry to garrison, recruited people to build embankments, and made Mengzhou, the bridgehead of Luoyang, in full swing.

By this time, a large steel defense line along the Yellow River and around Luojun had been officially connected. From Jiyuan in Mengzhou to Guandu, the famous ancient battlefield, more than 80,000 Jin troops were deployed, and they were strictly guarded to resist Yan Zonghan's southward advance.

The generals sent were Jiao Wentong, Xue Yu, Ma Kuo, and Liu Ziyu, the deputy military division. Chu Tianya and Meng De still stayed in Luoyang, consolidated the fundamental collection of grain and grass, and issued a conscription order to actively recruit soldiers.

The big war is imminent, and 100,000 soldiers and horses are simply not enough. In addition to sticking to the banks of the Yellow River in the Luoyang area, it is also necessary to rush to Tokyo at any time. Now, except for Chu Tianya's guards Huben and a small number of Yaksha female soldiers and the wounded and sick, the rest of the Jin soldiers and horses Jiucheng left Luoyang and went to the Yellow River to deploy defenses.

The emptiness in the city is not a good thing for Chu Tianya, who has just arrived. Recently, I vaguely heard the rumors that the old aristocratic lords of Luojun and the officials and gentry and tyrants were secretly discussing, as if they wanted to take advantage of the lack of manpower around Chu Tianya to make any moves.

As a result, these guys, who had never even killed chickens on weekdays, were grabbed by Meng De's beard and eyebrows before they could discuss and understand, and then killed them cleanly.

These pampered white-faced and clean bearded old men can be cautious, but when it comes to dancing knives and guns, killing people and goods, where are the opponents of Chu Tianya and Meng De, who are the dangerous and courageous people?

More than 130 air-dried human heads hung over the head of Luojun City, black and bloody. This completely silenced the people who still had the slightest evil heart in their hearts.

Chu Tianya still didn't express any opinions. Only Meng De came forward to show the people, saying, "These birdmen know how to fight for power and profit, and they don't think about making progress in the face of national disasters, and they still think about killing each other and fighting in the nest - they should be killed!" ”

There is no absolute right or wrong in the world, whoever has the right to speak in his hands is right.

When Meng De said this, the people of Luo County could only listen to him in this way.

As a result, whether these more than 100 heads deserved it or were innocently suffered, they were all spurned by the people of Luojun - who told Chu Tianya to occupy the moral high ground of "protecting the country and securing the people"? Even if he is the ringing horse of the dove occupying the magpie's nest!

Chengfu Fang, a famous place in the ancient capital of Luoyang, looks at the imperial city in the west of Luoshui in the south, and there is a lake in the square, called Qingyangtan. Legend has it that Wu Zetian, who once set the capital of Luoyang and renamed it "Shendu", once liked to take a boat trip in Qingyang Pond. Because the accompanying female officials and maids are in groups, they drop a lot of marital fat gouache in the pool, until hundreds of years later, the water in the pool carries a fragrant and cha human atmosphere, and the peach blossoms and peonies on both sides of the bank grow particularly vigorously.

Chu Tianya didn't like this kind of place where yin and yang were declining, but Xiao Linglong liked it, so he set up his private house here.

After several days of tiring, Chu Tianya rarely slept well.

Xiao Linglong got up first and sat by the window to comb her hair. In the eye, the peach blossoms enter the Luoshui, and the peonies reflect the clear pool, just like the flush of Xiao Linglong's cheeks is as charming.

From the day Chu Tianya left Taiyuan to attack Zhending, until today, Xiao Linglong has not been in the same room with Chu Tianya.

She looked at herself in the bronze mirror, touched her cheeks, and felt as if she was getting older.

Whether it is the county lord or the general, Xiao Linglong is also a woman after all. The concern for one's own appearance and youth will never change.

"Tianya, let's get married......" Xiao Linglong spoke to herself in the mirror, her voice was very low, "If you don't get married, I'll be old." ”

After speaking, her heart tightened, and when she looked back, Chu Tianya was still asleep soundly on the couch. She was a little relieved.

"You're not even twenty years old, and you say you're old?"

This voice frightened Xiao Linglong - "Vermilion Bird?!" ”

A figure quietly fell from the window, like a feather falling outside the window, with its back to Xiao Linglong.

Xiao Linglong seemed to feel that she had been caught cheating, and she was both ashamed and annoyed. I scolded in my heart: How can I forget that there are more than two green guards guarding at any time by my side? …… Today, Suzaku is in office, it's too annoying!

Suzaku turned around, wearing a mask, and the two hollow eye holes were facing Xiao Linglong.

Xiao Linglong froze and looked at Suzaku with an expressionless and majestic face. She would never fall into her dignity in front of anyone other than Chu Tianya.

Suzaku looked at Xiao Linglong fixedly, as if he wanted to see every detail of her face clearly. She wondered how much she looked like her!

"Have you seen enough?" Xiao Linglong said coldly.

Suzaku didn't say anything, just turned away. Let the cold wind on the banks of the Luoshui River blow away her hair and cloak.

"Originally, we were two unrelated people. But because of a very similar face, my fate was changed. Suzaku said to himself, "I'm curious to know, why is this happening?" ”

Xiao Linglong couldn't help laughing, "Do you want to say, why is your fate affected by me, not that I am implicated by you?" ”

Suzaku didn't speak. But Xiao Linglong knew that her words stabbed Suzaku in the sore spot.

Because of Xiao Linglong, she felt a murderous aura.

"Good, at least you're not hypocritical." Xiao Linglong said, "The person in the world who has the most reason to kill me is you." ”

"But I'll never do anything to you." Suzaku said.

"Why?"

"Because you're the woman he loves the most." Suzaku said, "If he kills you, he will suffer for the rest of his life." It's not what I want. ”

Xiao Linglong was speechless, and the corners of her mouth curled with interest.

"Early in the morning, don't let people sleep?" Chu Tianya roared in the room.

Like a phantom, the Suzaku disappeared without a trace. Qingwei's purpose is to be transparent when the lord doesn't need it—except for Xiao Linglong, of course.

Xiao Linglong secretly laughed twice, put down the curtains, threw herself back on the couch, flipped Chu Tianya over, and pressed it down.

"Listen, stinky man—no one wants to take over my territory!!"

"Who, who's going to fight you for territory? …… Get me up, urgency! Chu Tianya's good dream was woken up and annoyed, and now he was pressed by a pair of plumps on Xiao Linglong's chest, and his mouth and nose were not breathing, so he had to shake his head and struggle.

Xiao Linglong ignored it, and simply sat on Chu Tianya's lower abdomen, the thin shirt on her body fell away, and then pressed down again.

"I don't think you have the strength to provoke other women!"

"Heroine spare her life! …… Three times last night isn't enough? ”

"Are you going to throw in the towel? Cluck! ”

"Soldiers can be killed, not humiliated! --I'm fighting with you!! ”

On the roof, Suzaku and nobles sat back to back. They clearly felt that Xiao Linglong was deliberately tossing such a big move.

So they all scolded in a low voice - "dog man and woman"!

Outside the house, seven messengers stood side by side, quietly waiting for the lord to get up and report on the military situation.

From time to time, they glanced at the god-like figure at the door of the lord, the Tiger Guard Commander Anu. It's all three poles in the day, and he doesn't seem to have the slightest intention of going in to report or wake up the lord.

Last night was the first time in months that the lord and lord had slept together.

Then, even if the sky falls, you have to wait.
