This time, the Huyi invasion was very widespread, and all the Jurchen Chamber, Wei Gaoli, and Bohai people all moved, and even the most powerful Khitan remnants no longer flinched and invaded brazenly. www.biquge.info For a time, almost all the Han cities and counties in the land of Liaodong were killed, and Ningjiang Prefecture and Changchun Prefecture, which were high and deep, were guarded by the forbidden army, and the Hu people did not dare to covet them. As a result, Ningjiang Prefecture, which is located in the land of three mountains and rivers, was like a bright star on the grassland for a while, attracting Han people who had lost their homes to come and flee.

Everyone walked all the way, and almost all the people on the plains outside the city in Ningjiang Prefecture were sparsely populated, and there were countless for a while. It is impossible for so many homeless people to be stuffed into the city of Ningjiang Prefecture at one time, Ningjiang Prefecture is a military city, which cannot accommodate so many homeless people, and God knows how many foreign spies are mixed in these homeless people, so most of the homeless people can only be turned away from the city gate. Fortunately, the bigwigs in Ningjiang Prefecture built a camp for these homeless people by the Yazi River, and distributed food every day so that these homeless people would not starve to death.

But these tents do not give these displaced people a sense of security, since the introduction of high-quality grain such as three-crop rice from the south overseas, coupled with the diligence of grain merchants, the people of the Great Zhou have hardly suffered from famine for more than 100 years, so they are not afraid of hunger, they are afraid of those barbaric Huyi, only the high city wall can make them feel at ease.

So when they saw that Zhao Qing's group of homeless people were escorted by cavalry and could enter the city, they immediately surrounded them, and more homeless people came out of the tents in the distance, almost blocking the team.

"Get out of the way of me, do you want to die!" Cao Zilin seemed to be accustomed to seeing such a scene, and impatiently raised the firearm in his hand, and the crowd avoided where he was pointing, and there was chaos.

"My lord, please let us into the city! Why can they get into the city, it's not fair! ”

"Yes, my lord, you can't leave us outside the city walls, the Jurchens will kill us all!"

Fearing the intimidation of the firecrackers, the homeless people did not dare to step forward, and could only wail in the procession.

"Hmph, those vendors in the city fed you so much to let you harass the forbidden army, get out of the way!" Cao Zilin fired a fiery bolt into the sky, and the roar echoed, scaring those timid homeless people into fleeing in all directions.

Zhao Qing walked in the team, looking at the hateful eyes of those homeless people, and shook his head helplessly. Compared with their own group of homeless people, they have been too lucky. At least all of them are cleanly dressed, their faces are ruddy, and the treatment in the riverside camp is not bad, and the wealth of the Great Zhou can be seen from this, in addition to feeding the army of tens of thousands of people with the savings of only one city, it can actually provide so many displaced people.

It's a pity that human nature is like this, maybe when they are hungry and cold in the wasteland, they want to have a mouthful of hot food to eat, and clothes to keep warm. When the merchants of Ningjiang Prefecture satisfied them, they felt that these simple tents were already paradise. However, when they found out that some homeless people were actually accepted into the city, the imbalance in their hearts made them stand up and want more.

Of course, it was the iron-colored spears that faced them, and it was only after Zhao Qing's group of people completely entered the city gate that the homeless people dispersed.

After entering the city wall, Zhao Qing's eyes lit up, the street was very clean, the ground was actually paved with cement, walking on it was very solid, and most of the buildings in the city were built of bricks and tiles, all of which were angular three-story buildings, obviously the whole city was carefully planned and constructed, and a lot of modern building technology was used. At least in the Song Dynasty, people couldn't build houses without wood, and only palaces could use large pieces of bluestone, but the pillars inside must also be huge wood. And the city in front of him is completely a product of reinforced concrete, which must be Shen Wansan's masterpiece.

Compared with the chaos outside, the city of Ningjiang Prefecture looks very neat and orderly, a team of ironclad forbidden troops change shifts in an orderly manner, and there are still all kinds of shops on the streets, most of which are fur shops, and then there are restaurants, but in this wartime, when the whole city is closed, business is obviously not good.

Zhao Qing looked curiously at this city that was a combination of ancient and modern, looking like a countryman entering the city for the first time, but the surrounding homeless people were not surprised, Zhao Qing speculated that the cities of the Great Zhou were estimated to be like this.

Cao Zilin is worthy of being a captain, although the official is not big, but he is very popular, and he can always meet officers and businessmen who greet him along the way, they are all very curious about this group of homeless people, but no one asks them much about their origins.

After entering the city and going around, Cao Zilin took the team to a courtyard, then dismounted, and came to the carriage very respectfully, and said: "Master Chen, this courtyard is owned by the students' old friends, it has been deserted for a long time, and it is just vacated. ”

Shu Kun got out of the carriage with the support of the little girl, looked at the desolate courtyard in a trance, and said to Cao Zilin: "Actually, it would be good to be able to live in a tent with those homeless people outside the city, thank you Zilin." Zilin, can you find a man, I have two children who are seriously injured, one of them was hit by an arrow in the leg, and he hasn't pulled it out yet. ”

Cao Zilin scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said: "Now the Langzhong in the city are all gathered in the city lord's mansion, it is said that it is the festival that makes Lord Chai sick, and he is gathering Langzhong in the city to govern, I'm afraid I can't find Langzhong." However, in the case of arrow wounds, the students know a few brothers in the army who are very good at treating arrow wounds, so the students will go to invite them. ”

After speaking, he led the cavalry to leave, and then turned back and instructed: "Lord Chai's illness is a secret, and the master must restrain the clansmen not to talk nonsense everywhere." ”

Xiong Ye pushed open the rotten wooden door, and suddenly a burst of dust came to his face, causing everyone to cough and hurriedly avoid it. After entering the courtyard, I found that this is a small courtyard house, and there are really a lot of rooms, which can fully accommodate more than ten or twenty homeless people. It's just that there is cobwebs and dust everywhere, and it seems that it has really been deserted for a long time.

However, except for Zhao Qing, none of the homeless people showed disgust, and it was too lucky to be able to find such a safe place to live in this time of chaos. Not to mention anything else, if the captain who chased and killed the spy was not Cao Zilin, even if they were not killed as a spy, they would definitely not be able to enter the city, let alone be able to have a courtyard in the city.

The women all gathered up happily, slapping the children to help clean up, the men could not intervene, and a few seriously wounded people were placed in the middle of the hall that had been cleaned up.

Soon, Cao Zilin came over with a soldier who looked very old, the old soldier didn't say anything, went straight to Dongzi's side, checked it, took out the tool, tied the root of Dongzi's thigh with a bandage, and then took out a piece of wood, let Dongzi bite it, and then took out a knife to carefully cut off the black cloth that had been stained with blood.

Dongzi bit the wood tightly, but his face became more and more pale, Xiong Ye and Chen Tao'er both stared nervously at the process of pulling out the arrow, but Zhao Qing secretly glanced at Cao Zilin, and found that this captain frowned at the moment, as if there was a haze lingering, although he was also watching the operation, but he was obviously absent-minded.

"Ugh!"

Dongzi snorted, Zhao Qing hurriedly looked, but saw that there was an extra blood-stained red arrow on the ground, and the old soldier began to apply medicine and bandage the wounds on both sides unhurriedly, the whole action was done in one go, Dongzi's wound miraculously stopped bleeding, and the pale Dongzi couldn't bear the huge pain and fainted.

didn't even tell the future, the old soldier just nodded at Cao Zilin and left in a hurry.

"Thank you Captain Cao, Chen Xiong for Dongzi and the clansmen, thank you here." Master Xiong knelt down on one knee and saluted respectfully.

Cao Zilin just waved his hand, his respect would only be to Master Chen, not to Master Chen's people.

"If you have anything to help in the future, go to the forward camp to find me, and I can help if I can. It's not peaceful outside, you can go to Wansan Qian Zhuang to get it if you need food, and don't walk around the city at other times. Cao Zilin briefly explained, frowned and was about to leave.

"Wait, Captain Cao."

Cao Zilin turned his head and looked at the person who stopped him, and found that it was the young man who shot the spy with a fire gun before, and his face was a little better. This boy made a deep impression on him, calm and calm, and accurate marksmanship, and was able to fire decisively in that situation, which is not something that ordinary teenagers can do.

"Boy with good marksmanship, is there anything wrong, if you want to join our forward battalion, I am very welcome." Cao Zilin smiled, whether he was blinded or not, he could kill the immediate target with one shot from more than a dozen steps away, even he was not very sure that he could do it, this young man definitely had the potential to be a sharpshooter. However, he did not report much hope, and now the people regard military service as a tiger, and the willingness to become a soldier is too poor, except for those who are behind the gate, few people are willing to become soldiers.

Zhao Qing didn't expect Cao Zilin to recruit him directly, he was already thinking about how to integrate into this world, there must be no future among Chen Xiong's group of homeless people, and it seems that it is really a good choice to be able to enter the forbidden army.

"Thank you Captain Cao for looking up to it, if I can, I do have the intention of becoming a soldier." Zhao Qing arched his hand and said, "But." ”

Cao Zilin was overjoyed after hearing this, but he didn't expect that the other party would not reject being a soldier, so he hurriedly asked, "But what?" What is your name. ”

"Under Zhao Qing. I'd love to join the Forbidden Army, but before I do that, I'd like to see the Celestial Envoy first. Zhao lightly arched his hands and pleaded.

Cao Zilin was a little surprised, he originally thought that this young man was a member of the clan of Shu Kun, but he didn't expect it to be surnamed Zhao, and when he heard his request, he said curiously: "Why do you want to see Lord Chai?" ”

Zhao Qing took out a copper seal and a sheepskin scroll from his bosom and respectfully handed it to Cao Zilin.

"This is my father's suicide note, when the Jurchens attacked, my father, as a county guard, was martyred, but he could only watch Huanhe County fall into the hands of the Jurchen barbarians, leaving only this suicide note, and I only hope that the county guard copper seal and sheepskin scroll will be handed over to the Jiedu envoy to complete my father's last wish." Zhao Qing said in a low voice.

Cao Zilin looked at the contents of the sheepskin scroll, his heart was very complicated, but he still shook his head in embarrassment, and said: "Now Lord Chai can't see anyone, and I'm not qualified to accept these two things as a captain, so I'll lead you to see Lord Duwei." ”

"Why, if the Jiedu makes the adult really sick to the point that he can't see outsiders, I just know some medical skills, I hope that Captain Cao can recommend me to see the illness of the Jiedu Adult." Zhao Qing's face was firm, unwilling to give up easily.

"This." Cao Zilin's face was even more embarrassed, it was not that he didn't believe Zhao Qing, who looked like a young man, but those people in the city lord's mansion wouldn't believe it, he was a little lieutenant, and he introduced such a young man and said that he wanted to give Jiedu an adult a doctor, who would let him pass.

"Believe him, the old man had a fever in the wilderness two days ago and almost died, and it was Zhao Gongzi who saved the old man with a panacea. Zhao Gongzi is from the hidden door and has a medical background that is not passed on, which is not comparable to those who walk the door. Shu Kun walked into the hall on crutches and said, "Besides, Zhao Qi County Guard is not an ordinary county guard, although his official position is low, but he is from the Ye Guo Mansion, he committed a serious crime more than ten years ago before he was relegated to the outside of the Saiwai, Ye Guo Mansion You should always know that it is Jiangmen, and your captain and boss can't receive the copper seal." ”

Cao Zilin was shocked after hearing this, he was originally just curious about the young man's surname Zhao and not surnamed Chen, but he didn't expect this surname Zhao to come from like this, although the word "hidden door" is mysterious, but it has always been despised by most people, but when it comes to the Yeguo Mansion, he can't help but pay attention to it. Ye Guo Mansion, that is one of the famous generals, the ancestor Zhao Kuangyin is the founding hero, the status is prominent, although he was given a light boat by Sejong, secretly seized military power, and then there was the shame of Zhao Kuohuanqing, the status of Ye Guogong Mansion plummeted, but it is still ranked among the generals, far from Cao Zilin, a small shrimp can be offended.

Cao Zilin's face changed, and he finally took a deep breath and said, "Zhao Gongzi, I will lead you to see Lord Chai." ”

Zhao frowned lightly and said happily: "Thank you." ”
