Chapter 7: Melting Ice on a Snow Day

"Miss Shuiqing, where are you going in the middle of the night?"

The name of the person who spoke was Zu Mao, who was originally a general of the Hedong Jiedu Envoy Department, who was captured during the war with the Khitan, and then transferred to Li Shaoqing's brother Li Yangjiu to serve under the tent.

"What does it matter where I go to the general." Asamizuki replied calmly.

"The girl is now a popular person in front of the general, it doesn't matter to me where you go, but these people have something to do with me. The general has an order, and the safety of Yang Hao's family falls on the head of the second general, and the second general puts this matter on my head. Miss Shuiqing is going to take them away now, shouldn't I come and ask? ”

"What the hell do you want?"

"This army is in chaos, the second general is concerned about the safety of several wives, and the special dispatch will take a few ladies to the camp to stay for a few days." Zu said in a strange manner.

"Thanks to the good intentions, we can still take care of ourselves." After Qing'er finished speaking, she turned to everyone and said, "Go back to the courtyard quickly." ”

"Wait!" Zu Mao broke off drinking, and the soldiers immediately blocked the way of Qing'er and the others.

"What do you want to do?!" The shallow water cleared the voice.

"What for?" Zu Mao sneered, "Please ask a few ladies to return to the camp." All the soldiers rushed up.

"Stop!" Asamizuki let out a scream, pulled out a dagger and aimed it at his throat. Everyone was taken aback, and Qing'er hurriedly persuaded: "Sister, don't be like this." Xiao Yu hurriedly went to grab the knife, but was stopped by Shallow Water Qing.

"Listen!" Asamizu Qing pointed at Zu Mao's face, "Let them go, or I'll die in front of you." ”

Zu Mao was shocked when he heard this, shallow water is now a big celebrity in front of Li Shaoqing. The general hadn't seen outsiders for three days for her, which had never happened to a hard-working general. If Asamizuki hurts himself because of this, do you want to take your life?

"Miss Shuiqing has something to discuss, put down the knife first, don't hurt yourself."

"Are you scared?" Shallow Shui Qing sneered and raised his left hand, "See, the jade bracelet that the general gave me, the general promised to marry me, if you force me to death." I'm afraid that a hundred heads are not enough to cut off. ”

The pair of jade bracelets worn on the wrists of Shallow Shuiqing are indeed extremely valuable, but whether they were given by Li Shaoqing or not, only God knows.

"I'll count three, and you'll immediately retreat. Otherwise, I will die in front of you at once. Somehow, there was a cold ghost aura in Shallow Shuiqing's words, not only did Zu Mao tremble when he heard it, but Qing'er and the others only shivered when they heard it.

"I'll go, I'll go," Zu Mao said, and really stepped back.

"Hahaha, why should Miss Shuiqing be angry." Seeing that the great work was about to be completed, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and Li Shaoqing, the chief general of the Guiyi Army, and his brother Li Yangjiu rushed over.

Li Shaoqing is thirty-seven or eighteen years old, and he looks like a tiger, but his temperament on his face is polite and polite, like a scholar. His younger brother Li Yangjiu is in his early thirties, broad and weighty, with a big beard, and at first glance he looks two years older than Li Shaoqing.

Li Shaoqing walked up to Shallow Shui Qing and snatched the dagger from her hand, and for some reason, Shallow Shui Qing, who had a strong temperament, looked unusually docile in front of him.

Li Yangjiu took out a horsewhip and gave Zu Mao two whips and stepped aside.

Li Shaoqing looked at Qing'er and the others, bowed down and said Mrs., and Qing'er and the others returned the salute. Li Shaoqing asked Shallow Water Qing with a smile: "I suddenly came here halfway through the dance, what's going on?" ”

Shallow Shuiqing lowered his head and said, "So far, I don't have anything to say. Please let them go. ”

"I can promise you, but you must at least give me a reason." Li Shaoqing's tone of voice was unusually gentle.

"Let them out of the city, and I'll go with you." Asamizu said calmly.

"That's not a reason." Li Shaoqing shook his head, "Why are you willing to give up your life to save them." ”

"Their husbands are kind to me, and I don't want to owe them anything."

"Well," Li Shaoqing nodded, "This is a reason." Okay, I promise you to let Elder Fuyuan take them out of the city. ”

"You saw that?" Shallow Shuiqing was shocked and embarrassed by Li Shaoqing's words.

"What can I hide from my eldest brother in this world? As soon as you messed with the eldest brother to invite Elder Fuyuan to come, the eldest brother guessed your thoughts, and he deliberately let you go just now. ”

Hearing this, Qianshui Qing couldn't help but sigh slightly, turned around and knelt in front of Qing'er and said, "Sister, take care of yourself in the future." Qing'er grabbed her hand and burst into tears.

Zu Mao was whipped by Li Yangjiu twice, and after only a moment, he forgot the pain, and stepped forward to ask Li Yangjiu secretly: "The general let people go, how will he explain to Zeng Chongyang in the future?" ”

"Zeng Chongyang is a fart!" Li Yangjiu spat at the ground with disdain.

――――――

Wu Bohan, the commander of the first police battalion, is Liu Yifeng's distant expression, relying on this relationship to mix up an errand of the deputy leader of the guard in the former Feng'an Assassin Mansion, after Liu Yifeng fell, he switched to Li Tongmen, Li Tongwu was born, and he looked down on this kind of person who relied on nepotism to get in the position, Wu Bohan was very unsatisfactory in the Tiande Right Army. When Yang Hao was restructured, Wu Bohan took Zhuang Yunqing's path and became the captain of the first police battalion reorganized from the old department of Jiuniangguan. Since then, Wu Bohan has been regarded as Zhuang Yunqing's person.

Zeng Chongyang also has this view, given that Zhuang Yunqing is Han Sui's favorite general, and Han Sui has always gotten along well with him, so Zeng Chongyang naturally regards Wu Bohan as his own person. In the vigorous purge movement of various armies in Fengzhou, the 1st Police Battalion became a piece of paradise. While the other battalions were busy exposing each other, arresting, and killing the remnants of the Wang Party, the soldiers of the 1st Police Battalion were busy helping Wang Moshan dig a mine.

Wang Moshan is a businessman in the end, and one of the principles of a businessman in the world is to never work against those in power, and never get too close to those in power. Because of this, Wang Moshan's first mine was not affected by Yang Hao's sudden downfall. Zeng Chongyang looked down on businessmen like Wang Moshan from the bottom of his heart, so he didn't think much of his change. When Wang Moshan came with a generous gift to ask Wang Moshan to change the name of his coal mine, Zeng Chongyang didn't even bother to see him.

Different from Zeng Chongyang's indifferent and contemptuous attitude, Zhuang Yunqing seemed to be very attentive to the coal mine in the south of the city, and as long as he had spare time, he would take the relevant officials of Feng'an County to cross the river to have a look. Say a few words of encouragement and get drunk. Zeng Chongyang knew this, and he also sent someone to secretly follow him to check, and there was nothing suspicious.

After the continuous rain and snow in winter, the construction of the coal mine was temporarily stopped, a large number of workers stayed on the construction site and had nothing to do, young people were moving, and groups of miners often crossed the river to the city to play. The miners worked hard, but their income was not low, and after entering the city, they ate and drank merry, and the silver was spent like a flowing price, and the owners of taverns, inns, music houses, and casinos could not close their mouths together.

Although there was a strict order under Zeng Chongyang that miners should not stay overnight in the city, there were policies and countermeasures. The owners of taverns and casinos are racking their brains to keep people behind. As long as the county officials who are familiar with the local situation turn a blind eye, those people from other places can't manage it if they want to.

Zhu Xiangnan, the county magistrate, who has always been known for his conscientiousness and strict law enforcement, did not ask about this matter, as long as the miners who stayed in the city did not kill people and set fires, the county government's arresters just regarded it as if they did not see it.

――――――――――

After a heavy snowfall, a mine collapsed two sheds with snow, leaving hundreds of workers with nowhere to live. Wang Moshan asked Wu Bohan for help, and after Wu Bohan made the Feng'an Chengnan Patrol Battalion vacate a few barracks for the workers to live in, and the vacated soldiers moved back to the camp in the south of the city.

A group of soldiers of the patrol battalion was suddenly stopped by the inspection team of the Guiyi Army when they passed through the south gate of Feng'an, insisting that everyone had bad intentions when they entered the city, and they wanted to disarm and bring everyone back to the camp for interrogation. The soldiers of the patrol battalion refused to disarm, and the two sides immediately clashed. The patrol battalion had few people, and it suffered a loss as soon as it started.

The 1st Police Battalion has two sentry men stationed in the camp in the south of the city, and at this time it is vacating the barracks for a team of people who have moved back from Henan. Suddenly, I heard that the team of men and horses and the Tanda people were fighting at the south gate, and they suffered losses. The sentry commander on duty immediately gathered men and horses to rush over for reinforcements, and the two sentry men and horses plus the original inspection team of more than 200 people lost their armor.

The inspection team that suffered a loss immediately sent people to report to the city defender in the south of the Guiyi Army, and the city guard immediately sent 300 people to reinforce when he heard the anger. Seeing that the situation was not good, the soldiers of the 1st Police Battalion retreated to the Iron Bell Battalion station in the west of the city. The Iron Bell Battalion is the foundation of the original Tiande Right Army, and its combat effectiveness is far above the first police battalion, but it is a pity that the main force is stationed in Jiuniangguan at this time, and there are only two teams of people in the camp.

When the sentry commander Lin Ying opened the camp gate and let the police come in and hide, and then ordered the archers to guard in front of the camp gate, and gave a death order, who dared to shoot immediately through the dismount post.

――――――

When Zeng Chongyang learned of the change in the south of the city, Lin Ying had already shot and killed Mo Xixin, the defender of the south of the city of the Guiyi army. Mo Xiexin is the favorite general of Li Shaoqing's brother Li Yangjiu, and he is also a member of the Guiyi Army. In his bones, he looked down on the sergeant of the first police battalion who hid in the iron bell camp. So when the gatekeeper of the Iron Bell Camp warned him to fire arrows if he went forward, Mochae didn't take it to heart. He rode the pitch-black "Iron Qilin" proudly past the dismount pile, and the archers who had already nested their bows and arrows behind the camp gate suddenly fired thousands of arrows. Mosher Heart and his "Iron Kirin" are shot like hedgehogs.

Shocked, the Tanda people scattered and fled, and no one even dared to take Moxie's corpse.

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around. Go, get me that sentry commander who doesn't know how thick the sky is. Zeng Chongyang pounded the table and shouted at Zhu Qida.

"Yes." Zhu Qiyin strode out with a face.

"Bang!" The door of the Chincha Office was kicked open, and dozens of Tanda soldiers rushed in with scimitars.

"Get out of the way! Move! "The Tanda broke in with a human corpse and a horse corpse. Both corpses were covered with Morisen's feathered arrows.

"If you dare to trespass on the Qincha Office, you will be killed." Zhu Qi broke off as soon as he spoke, and dozens of brocade-clothed guards rushed out of the ear rooms on both sides and surrounded the Tanda people. At the same time, the doors of the PCPD were also slammed shut.

"Wait!" Zeng Chongyang broke off and hurriedly greeted him from the lobby.

"Dear brothers and friends, be at ease." Zeng Chongyang put on a smiling face and bowed to the Guiyi sergeant again and again.

"Our general died unjustly, and you can still laugh, it's just not as good as a beast." Someone screamed.

"If you dare to insult Qincha, take it for me!" Zhu Qi shouted, and the brocade-clothed guards rushed up and insulted Zeng Chongyang's Guiyi sergeant and pressed him to the ground.

"Presumptuous!" Zeng Chongyang's face turned red and he shouted loudly. Three steps and two steps rushed forward and pushed away the brocade-clothed guard, and personally helped up the dusty Tanda soldiers. The soldier didn't expect a few brocade-clothed guards to shoot so quickly and so ruthlessly, and his heart was still pounding at this time. Seeing Zeng Chongyang, he couldn't speak.

Zeng Chongyang patted the dust on his body for him, and kept apologizing.

"Less in lies! I ask you, what are you going to do if you kill our general? ”

"Ah, this church will definitely severely punish the murderer and give you an explanation."

"Less official. The general's body is here, you kneel down and kowtow to him three times. ”

"Make, make, the dead are great. Zeng deserves to be so. Zeng Chongyang was about to kneel when he bent down as he spoke, but Zhu Qi grabbed him and said in a low voice: "My lord, don't kneel." ”

"Hmph, you know what!" Zeng Chongyang shook off Zhu Qi's hand fiercely, "His Holiness also mourns for the deceased." When Zhu Qi heard this, he retracted his hand gloomily as if he had been pricked by a needle.

Zeng Chongyang knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed three times to Mo Xiexin's corpse, and was about to get up when he was stopped by the Tanda people: "'Iron Qilin' and the general are like brothers, you also kowtow to it three times." ”

――――――

That's it for today, it's the New Year, I'm also a little lazy, rest, take a break.
