As soon as he got out of the city, he mounted his mount and ran to the west gate.
Along the way, as a general who should have lived and died with Nancheng, he had both a faint sense of shame and an uncontrollable anxiety. It is a shame that at this critical juncture, we should not abandon the leader who has been following us, and abandon the ideal for which we have been fighting for some time. But what he was anxious about was that he was anxious to see his comrades and brothers, and hurriedly arranged the funeral of himself and his brothers. Half an hour, that is the moment that has passed, and it cannot be delayed for half a minute.
Ten fingers were almost digging into the cold, hard gray wall tiles with his two hands on the battlement, and he had just heard the ultimatum from below. Growing so big, he had seen the army in front of him in Shaanxi, but he never thought that it would be today. The battle array was mighty, and under the glow of the morning sun, the red light that was connected into patches made him dizzy, and the green light reflected by thousands of sharp blades made him shudder.
"Brothers......
He was pulled several times before he turned around as if he had just woken up from a big dream.
"That's it...... It's amazing," Qi Dairong pulled his brother and hid in a corner, "Got it, big ...... The handsome man is being ...... alive Slipped alive. ”
"***, it's just a bunch of brutes." He had heard such rumors before, but he immediately beheaded the fool who "spread rumors and shook the morale of the army". Actually, he didn't think the news was fake, he just didn't want to believe it.
"Big brother," Beo Daien frowned at a pair of short, thick, and thick eight-character eyebrows, "how can you be so panicked at this moment." You shouldn't ......" Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the horror that his eldest brother even carried in his words. In fact, he didn't know at all, not to mention that it was difficult to hide the horror from his heart, and the muscles in his thighs had never stopped twitching nervously.
"Three...... Sanguan Pass and Liupan Mountain are so dangerous places...... They all came over lightly, and it was difficult to ...... Do you really want to ...... brother I want to be here with ...... Accompany to the end? When Qi Dairong said this, the clip of Ren Wu Dashuai being slashed on the execution platform was still flashing in front of him, and he couldn't help but look up at the sky.
"No one can be ungrateful." He wanted to count down his brother a few words, but he understood why his eldest brother could leave his duty and come to the door at such a critical moment. But after thinking about it, he let out a long sigh again, "Our family was originally poor, not to mention that we have never dared to straighten up and talk to others, not to mention that you and my brother are in their thirties and can't even marry a woman." If there was no Ren Dashuai, where would we be today? ”
Qi Dairong blinked his blank eyes and looked at his brother unknowingly. How about today? Allah, my good brother, my father and mother are all in this dead city that has been surrounded like iron barrels, once the city is broken, those seemingly beautiful things are not all empty wealth? People should live for their own interests, so why pursue the falsehood of "gratitude"?
"Brothers......
"Big brother, don't say it again, time is pressing, you can do it yourself. As long as we can keep our parents and eldest brother themselves, our family will not be broken. He grabbed the eldest brother's shoulder and stopped the eldest brother's words, "Don't count on me, brother, I can only repay the kindness of the handsome with this body of flesh and blood." ”
Stupid, what a stupid thing! Seeing the elm-brained brother resolutely reflexively return to the highest place in the city, Qi Dairong was so disgusted that he stomped his trembling feet a few times. Then he gritted his teeth and stumbled down the road, grabbing the reins of his mount......
Guyuan Beicheng, originally a downtown area where the market was more concentrated, Hui people naturally like to do business, but also in order to stay away from the government, so all kinds of business tycoons have built their houses in the north city, instead of the relatively solemn south city. However, since Ren Wu led the army into Guyuan, his image has changed greatly.
In Ren Wu's team, there are many family members of the army, so they naturally need to be resettled, and resettlement requires housing. For those powerless rebels, it is good to say, regardless of men, women, young and old, in short, they can be stuffed into a place, and they can make do with it, and it is estimated that no one will have too many complaints.
In difficult times, especially in the race to be the founding father, it is natural to suffer some grievances, but the future is always bright. What if there is a whining? I can't stand it, Ren Wu, He Mingtang and others will say.
However, the above qiē is not very applicable to the personnel who are more or less leaders in the army. For what did the brothers leave their homes and careers, and follow themselves in life and death? Ren Wu won't be unaware. Since we know, of course, we can't be confused about what these meritorious people will do. As a result, the eyes of the "religious and political dignitaries" and the big and small leaders naturally stared at Beicheng and those "wealthy families" who "have no bullshit credit but can live in spacious mansions". Beicheng has become the world of "aristocracy".
The arrival of the "new aristocracy" covered with stinky sheep dung and a head of loess made an old man like Xiao Shaobao feel quite "uncomfortable". Don't get me wrong, "Xiao Shaobao" is just surnamed Xiao and his name is Shaobao, which is completely different from the kind of "Prince Shaobao" in the capital.
The courtyard of Sanjin, dozens of bright brick houses, seemed to be crowded with locusts like locusts pouring in like "new aristocrats". But what makes Xiao Shaobao feel "uncomfortable" is far more than that. People live in, who cares about eating? Who will bear the head-to-toe costs? There is no doubt that since ancient times, those who have been soldiers to fight the world have eaten wherever they go, and who will fight the world with money on their backs?
Things are often so weird. Xiao Shaobao is a person who understands the world very well, or is reasonable. He knows that if he cares about those people's lives, he has to take care of people's food and flowers, in the words of his mother-in-law, as if his mother's family came to the house, endure it for a while, and there will always be a time when it will not end. But who would have thought that you were generous? You understand? That's good, come on, there is a shortage of military spending, sponsor it. The "Muslim Kingdom" was born, and I'm sorry that I can't say anything about sponsorship, but I guess it's always necessary. The army has food and shelter, but in order to maintain the "happiness and tranquility" of your big households, it is obviously not enough to have food and shelter, and the city walls need to be repaired, right? You have to have all the weapons and belongings in a mess......
Xiao Shao keeps money, in addition to inheriting the property of his ancestors, as well as his own decades of hard work, when it comes to family business, he dare not say that he is the richest man in Guyuan, at least he is one of the few. However, Xiao Shaobao is not the kind of person who will live a rich man's life, he lives well, that is to show his identity and attract the respect of others, otherwise who knows even if you are rich? But when it comes to their family's life, it's really ordinary. According to the only few members of the Xiao family, Master Xiao will have a tight life. How could it be? A small thing alone can explain a qiē.
When he was young, Mr. Xiao often traveled around Hanzhong and loved to eat local specialty snacks stuffed skins. The Xiao family used to be cooked by the young Mrs. Xiao for the master, but when Mrs. Xiao became Mrs. Xiao, it was naturally changed to the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family to cook. From Mrs. Xiao to the time of the Xiao family's daughter-in-law, Master Xiao has never said that his stuffed skin is delicious enough. More than once, Madame would sigh and persuade the old man to hire a cook who was good at this skill, but when it came, Master Xiao always smiled, "Uh, (I) think this tastes good." One word, "picking", even picking yourself!
If you are not an acquaintance standing at the door of the mansion, no one will believe that this thin old man with two large patches on his shoulders will be the owner of this beautiful mansion behind him. No one could have guessed that not to mention Guyuan, even the usurer who would come to borrow money from a hundred and ten miles away from Guyuan would be him.
Xiao Shaobao, who is reluctant to spend money and only looks forward to supporting money with money, lived to sixty, and was finally verified by life a principle that he has always adhered to, if you really spend it, money will never be enough to spend, and money is too precious.
It is said that when you are poor, you will think about change, but in fact, when your own interests are trampled on by outsiders more, rich and noble people will also think about change.
(Tomorrow is National Day, I wish all my friends a happy holiday!) Long live the great kingdom of heaven! For the sake of the Celestial Empire, let's move on together! )
