Chapter 1: Night Terrors
The Feng'an Defense Embassy is located in the north and faces south, and the main buildings are built along the central axis, while the other buildings are symmetrically placed on both sides of the central axis. After entering the gate of the embassy is the door of the embassy, and after the door of the instrument is the lobby of the embassy (also known as the Huwei Hall), which is the place where the ceremony is held and the superior officials are greeted; There are four divisions symmetrically distributed in front of Huwei Hall, the left is the Supervision Department and the Ordnance Department, and the right is the Military Administration Department and the Military Justice Department.
Behind the Huwei Hall is also a large compound, in the middle of the opposite of the Huwei Hall is the signing room, the signing room is also known as the second hall, the scale is slightly smaller than the Huwei Hall, it is the daily office place of the defense envoy. Different from the general arrangement of the official office, the left side of the office is the waiter's room and the Hou Jian's office, and the right side is the study room and the pantry.
According to the rules, if a person wants to enter the second hall, he needs to report to the concierge and get permission before he can enter the door.
After the second hall is a quiet small courtyard, the courtyard is fragrant with flowers and plants, green trees, and the middle corresponds to the signing room is the inner study, also known as the third hall. This is the inner courtyard of the back hall, which is the daily living place of the defense envoy, but all the guests, discussions, reading, changing clothes, and handling general official business are here. The courtyards on the east and west sides of the inner study are the residences of the defense envoys, and behind the house is an inner garden covering an area of two or three acres.
The staff division is located in the courtyard behind the attendant room and the Hou Jian office on the left side of the second hall, with more than 20 houses of different sizes, without hanging plaques, and can only enter and exit through an inconspicuous small door in the north of the attendant room.
At dusk that day, a group of brocade-clad guards, led by a lean man in his thirties with a scar on his face, rushed through the gatehouse and broke in. The four guards on duty in the attendant's room heard the sound and immediately grabbed their knives and rushed out.
"Who? Hold it! "The head of the squire is a captain, and he just snorted. Scarface had already dodged into his armpits, and before the captain had the slightest movement, Scarface's legs were pierced to the ground, and as soon as he pushed his waist up, the captain fell to the ground like a dead stake, and was pressed to the ground by the two brocade-clothed men who caught up afterwards and couldn't get up. At this time, three of his subordinates were also subdued.
Scarface clearly didn't want to entangle the four, leaving four to guard the guard, while the rest of the men rushed into the staff along the small door north of the chamber. The courtyard of the staff department was deserted, the doors of the house were locked, and only an old servant was sweeping the fallen leaves under the locust tree. Seeing Scarface intrude in a menacing manner, the old servant stopped and looked at everyone in surprise, but he didn't mean to be afraid.
"Old man, where have they gone?" A young man beside Scarface shouted.
"Back to the military master, it's already the end of the Shen time, and the lords should go home early to rest."
"Less fucking bullshit, where's the guy on duty?" The young man brandished the bright knife in his hand to intimidate the old servant.
"I really don't know where they are, I don't believe you are searching one by one."
"Don't ramble with him, break the door! Search! Scarface gave the order. There was a loud bang, and the doors of more than two dozen rooms were kicked open. Not a single person was found, and no secret passages were found.
"Hurry up and report to Lord Zeng." Scarface said and walked out.
"Are you going to report to your lordship?" The young man asked hesitantly.
"Then you get people out of here!" Scarface roared at the young man, his thin face looking ghostly because of the scar. The young man was stunned and hung his head silently.
――――――――
Although he was coerced by Yang Hao everywhere, with the identity of the Seventh Rank Halberd of the Thorn Horse Battalion and the title of Feng'an Thorn History, Zhang Huchen can undoubtedly be regarded as the second person in Fengzhou. At least in Toyosu, no one has dared to be rude in front of him.
In Fengzhou in October, the night was already very cold, Zhang Huchen changed the habit of wearing clothes and armor and riding horses to patrol the city every night when he first came, and these days he ordered someone to close the gate of the Thorn History Mansion at dusk, not only because of the cold weather, but also because of the new bookstore named Ming Ling in the Thorn History Mansion.
That's the beauty from the Baihua Palace in the famous earthquake pass! Zhang Huchen, who was approaching his twilight years, suddenly seemed to be twenty years younger because of the arrival of this little woman. He is now throwing himself into the five-body body that Yang Hao admires, after all, young people are brainy, and they are also lustful, and they have a level and a height. Book-office? Hehe, what a cover! Even in broad daylight, they can go in and out of your study at will in this upright coat, and do all the dirty things in secret, and others are not good at what to say.
But Zhang Huchen is old after all, although when he saw Ming Ling for the first time, he felt that this little girl had hooked his soul, but he still had to pretend to be sanctimonious, and he didn't even want to say a word to Ming Ling in front of everyone. Thanks to the fact that there are people everywhere in the world, the subordinates of the Assassin Mansion have already seen through his thoughts, and without him having to think about it, Ming Ling climbed onto his bed.
"The old man is really not old." Mingling crawled out of the quilt with relish, and gave a thumbs up. She gasped incessantly, looking contented.
Zhang Huchen knew that there were three points in her expression but he was really satisfied, "Huh-" Zhang Huchen exhaled, feeling that his body was sore and numb, he wanted to move his arm that was already stiff, but Ming Ling pulled it over as his pillow.
Zhang Huchen didn't want to ruin her fun, so he gritted his teeth and endured it. Naturally, she couldn't hide from Ming Ling, she pushed Zhang Huchen's arm away, lay sideways in Zhang Huchen's arms, and playfully played with his beard.
"Alas, it's all from her grandfather's generation, aren't I doing evil?" After the passion, a wave of uneasiness arose. Ming Ling was only sixteen years old, and she was younger than Zhang Huchen's two granddaughters. Zhang Huchen's hand caressed Ming Ling's smooth and silky back, and wanted to beat Ming Ling several times to dress and leave, but he was reluctant to give up her soft jade body.
"Alas, it's good to be young." Zhang Huchen stroked Mingling's two unformed breasts*, but the guilt in his heart became stronger and stronger.
"Ling'er ......" Zhang Huchen finally made up his mind to drive her away, but before he could say the second half of his sentence, the door slammed open, and a group of brocade-clothed men broke in with torches.
"Yikes! - Mingling screamed and threw himself into Zhang Huchen's arms.
"Who are you?" Although Zhang Huchen also beat the drum in his heart, after all, he has been fighting in the officialdom for decades, and he still has this determination.
A big black man walked to the side of the bed with a torch, looked at Zhang Huchen by the light of the fire, and then glanced at Ming Ling, who was trembling in his arms, and said: "Don't be afraid, Zhang Tingshi is his own person." As he spoke, he patted a bronze plaque hanging from his waist: "Please ask Master Zhang to go with the lowly position." ”
"I'll go when the old man changes his clothes." When he spoke, Zhang Huchen was no longer as nervous as before. He pulled the quilt over and wrapped the naked Mingling. Ming Ling stretched out two green jade arms and pulled Zhang Huchen and asked, "Who are they?" I'm so scared, don't leave me alone. ”
"Don't worry, they won't hurt you." Zhang Huchen put on civilian clothes and threw Mingling's clothes on the bed: "Go back and stay after getting dressed, don't run around, I'll go to you when the matter is over." ”
Zhang Huchen tidied up his clothes and opened the door and walked to the courtyard, and the black man bowed and said, "The envoy is already waiting in the study, please come with me." Zhang Huchen hummed and raised his feet and was just about to leave, when he suddenly heard a "bang", two brocade-clothed men kicked the door and broke into the room, and the screams of Ming Ling came from the darkness......
――――――
Linzhou is a small city, the recent bandits have not been settled, every day Shen Shi will close the east and west north three city gates, leaving only a city gate in the south for the travel to enter and exit, to the end of the Shen time, the south gate will also be closed, after that there is no document issued by the Assassin Shi Mansion and the regimental training office, no one is allowed to enter and exit again before dawn the next day.
At three o'clock on this day, the guards guarding the gate were about to close the city gate. A group of horse bandits suddenly rushed to seize the door, and the gatekeeper hurriedly shouted: "The horse bandits are coming!" Ring the gong to call the police! ”
For a time, the gong at the head of Linzhou City rang out chaotically, and the people of the city panicked. Outside the city, a group of horse bandits of several hundred people gathered under the city and pulled out a siege posture. In history, Linzhou was attacked by horse bandits several times, and every time the property in the city was looted, the sudden appearance of the horse bandits made the defenders extremely nervous. "Hurry up and let go of wolf smoke, let go of wolf smoke!" Before the captain of the garrison could report the assassination, he ordered the wolf smoke to be lit.
There is a military village in the north of Linzhou, called Jinniu Village, where there are 300 horse troops, and Linzhou City is a horn of each other. The defenders lit the wolf smoke is a warning signal to the military village, the wolf smoke is like a military order, seeing the smoke, the captain of the Jinniuzhai leading army must lead the troops to reinforcements.
The soldier is treacherous. Leading troops into battle is really not a business for conformists.
The wolf smoke rose into the air at the head of Linzhou City, and the leading captain of Jinniu Village, Lance, hurriedly led the army to battle, leaving only more than 30 people to defend the camp. Jinniuzhai is surrounded by a ditch that is more than one person deep and two wide, and the ditch is a stone wall made of stones, which is also an easy place to defend and difficult to attack.
But for Park Eun-joon's Flying Tiger Battalion, this line of defense is not worth mentioning at all. As soon as Lance and the army came out of the village, Park Eun-joon captured the Golden Bull Village with lightning speed. The soldiers of the broken village immediately opened the armor storehouse, and after about a cup of tea, at least two teams of soldiers in the Flying Tiger Battalion changed into the uniforms of the defenders of Linzhou.
The undisguised soldiers hid in their tents, their faces nervous, as if anxiously waiting for someone.
Under the city of Linzhou, Li Changlin is leading the two sentinels of the Breaking Wave Battalion to feint to attack Linzhou City, his soldiers are all wearing civilian clothes at the moment, and the weapons used are also varied, and all the weapons of the ghost army are all varied, which does not affect their combat effectiveness at all.
Half an hour ago, a team of soldiers dressed as horse bandits suddenly appeared outside the south gate of Linzhou, forcing the defenders to set off wolf smoke to summon the garrison of Jinniuzhai to rush to help, Lance and his reinforcements were defeated by Li Changlin's ambush in the east of the city, Lance and the emperor entered the city from the east gate and never dared to come out again.
Li Changlin led his troops to feint for a while, and when he learned that Park Eun-joon had captured Jinniuzhai as promised, he immediately ordered the withdrawal of his troops. The people withdrew, but instead of leaving, they set up camp outside the city and laid siege to the city.
At dusk, the other three sentinels of the Breaking Wave Battalion and the two sentinels of the Flying Tiger Army also drove to the city one after another. When it was dark, the fire in the camp outside the city was lit, and the bluffing Linzhou Thorn Shi wore a battle armor and personally guarded the battle at the head of the city.
