Chapter Twenty-Four: Taking the City While Nothing Is Desired
In the dead of night, the housekeeper Zhang Qiu woke up quietly, thinking that he would be skinned and put into the pot after dawn, and become a thief and a thief in the belly of the Chinese food, I couldn't help but feel sad from it, but he just hooked up with the ninth concubine of the master, and he didn't enjoy it much, so he was going to die and go to Huangquan, so how could he be willing?
Zhang Qiu twisted his arm vigorously, but unexpectedly found that the thief was not tied firmly, he actually loosened this struggle, with this discovery, Zhang Qiu immediately came to the spirit, and the sound of breaking in the darkness sounded, and after a while, he really broke free.
Zhang Qiu was overjoyed, tiptoed to the back of the door, and looked out along the crack in the door, only to see a few bonfires lit in the courtyard outside, dozens of thieves lying crookedly on the ground, and two thieves guarding the gate with steel knives in their hands, it was obviously impossible to escape from here.
Zhang Qiu's eyes rolled, gently turned to the back of the wing, gently supported the window, revealing a crack, this west wing room is built on the cliff, behind it is a shallow cliff a few zhang high, I think there will be no thieves guarding.
Zhang Qiu opened the window and looked down, only to see that it was pitch black, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
A moment later, a rope made of silk ribbons hung down from the open window, Zhang Qiu's fat body climbed down the cliff with difficulty along the rope, and when he was about to land, he stepped on the air and fell into the air to eat, Zhang Qiu didn't dare to hum, he got up in pain, and fled into the darkness.
As soon as Zhang Qiu escaped, the figures of Ma Yue, Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao appeared in the West Wing like ghosts.
Guan Hai asked puzzledly, "Bozi, why did you let this guy go?" Wouldn't it be a bad thing if he reported to the officers and soldiers? ”
Ma Yuesen smiled and said, "Deliberately letting this guy go is to ask him to report to the official army." ”
Pei Yuanshao said: "Why is this? ”
Ma Yueyin smiled sympathetically and said, "Do you remember what I said to deliberately scare that guy, peeled him and boiled him in the pot, just enough for the brothers to have a full meal." As long as it wasn't a pig, he should be able to guess that our number would not exceed a hundred, and the number of officers and soldiers in Fuyang County was at least more than 500 people, if you were the county lieutenant of Fuyang County, what would you do after receiving this news? ”
Guan Hai said: "Needless to say, of course, he led the troops to exterminate it, which is a credit." ”
Ma Yue said: "It's this reason! After receiving the report, the lieutenant of Fuyang County deceived us into having few people, and he would definitely bring troops to attack. ”
Pei Yuanshao said: "We happen to be fighting with the official army here. ”
Ma Yue said: "Yes, first destroy this group of officers and soldiers, and then take advantage of the situation to seize the county seat!" ”
Pei Yuanshao was surprised: "What, we still have to attack the county seat?" Just with these more than 800 people? ”
It is inevitable that Pei Yuanshao was surprised, in the past, the Yellow Turban attacked the city, and without tens of thousands of troops, he would never attack the county town guarded by officers and soldiers, because the county town is not as good as the market town, there are city walls and moats, although the moat is not wide, and the city wall is not high, but for the Yellow Turban thieves who lack the equipment of the city, it is an insurmountable obstacle.
Ma Yue said: "There is no way to survive in the countryside, only the county town has the weapons, armor, and enough food we need." ”
Guan Hai said: "Hit the fuck!" I will go and gather the brethren together. ”
"There's no need to rush." Ma Yuesenran said, "Fuyang County is 50 miles away from here, and it is more than 100 miles to come and go, and it will be tomorrow afternoon when the officials and troops arrive." He ordered the brothers to have a good meal, a good rest, and enough spirit to fight with the officers and soldiers. ”
"Yes!"
"Squeaky."
The closed door was suddenly pushed open, the figure flashed, and Liu Yan, who had a pretty face, walked in, seeing Liu Yan's unkind expression, Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao retreated very interestingly, and Guan Hai also closed the door with his hand, which shows that this reckless man is actually a person who is thick and fine.
Ma Yue glanced at Liu Yan lightly and asked, "It's so late, is there something wrong with me?" ”
Can't I come to you if I'm fine? Liu Yanfang's heart was sour, and she pouted and said, "Guan Hai* women." ”
"Then you should go to Guan Hai."
"But you're the big boss."
"If you're looking for me for this, then I know by now."
After speaking, Ma Yue raised his feet and wanted to leave.
Liu Yan's mouth was flattened, her eyes showed grievances, and tears almost overflowed from the corners of her eyes, this dead man is really hard-hearted, since the reunion of Jingshan, he has never said a word to her, as if she is a stranger, is she really so disgusting? How many times, Liu Yan looked at the flowers and moons reflected in the water, and wondered more than once if Ma Yue had a problem with his vision, and whether only sows would make him tempted?
"Wait...... I'm looking for you, and there's something else. ”
Ma Yue sighed in his heart, his tone slowed down, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Miss Zou wants to see you."
"Miss Zou? Which Miss Zou? ”
"It's the one who went up to the mountain with you."
"Hmm, it turns out that her surname is Zou."
Ma Yue nodded, then remembered that since he captured the little girl, he had never asked her name, after Jingshan and Guan Hai and the others converged, he had been busy leading everyone out of the encirclement of the official army, and almost forgot about her.
"What's the matter?"
"You'll find out when you go."
Liu Yan took Ma Yue to the east wing, and the candlelight was lit in the wing. Liu Yan gently pushed open the door and walked in first, Ma Yue had already stepped into the door with half a foot, but when he looked up, he was suddenly taken aback, and shrank back like an electric shock. I saw that in the flickering candlelight, the little girl's hands and feet had been loosened, and she was sitting upright on the chair.
Ma Yue knows the power of this little girl, and it was completely lucky to be able to capture her alive, if he did it again, Ma Yue believed that he would definitely die ugly.
Liu Yan turned her head, looked at Ma Yue puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Ma Yue pointed at Zou Yuniang and asked, "You...... How did you let go of her ties? She ......"
Zou Yuniang snorted softly from her nostrils, but Liu Yan covered her mouth and smiled softly, and said charmingly: "You are still a big leader, you are so small." Don't worry, her acupuncture points have been controlled by me with silver needles, although she can move freely, her strength is worse than that of a three-year-old child, and it will not hurt you. ”
Ma Yue will be suspicious: "Really? ”
Liu Yan said angrily: "Why should I lie to you? ”
Ma Yue stepped into the east wing, but his legs were still standing in a T-shape, and once he found that the situation was wrong, he could escape as quickly as possible, after all, this little girl's skin was too dangerous, and there was nothing wrong with being careful in everything.
"Miss Zou, what are you looking for me?"
Zou Yuniang glared at Ma Yue hatefully and asked, "It's been a few days since you caught me, kill me or not, let me go, what do you want?" You don't want me to follow you as a rogue, do you? ”
Ma Yue smiled faintly and asked, "Do you want me to let you go, or kill you?" ”
Zou Yuniang said angrily: "Nonsense." ”
"Miss me letting you go, huh? Well, you can answer whatever I ask, if you let me know that you are lying, hum, do you see the dozens of sturdy men outside the door? It's been a long time since they've touched a woman, and if I give you to them, I'm sure they'll be happy. ”
Zou Yuniang's face turned pale in an instant, and she hated Ma Yue to death in her heart.
"Your surname is Zou, what's your name?"
"Jade Lady."
"How old?"
"Seventeen."
"Did you make a promise?"
“……”
"Did you make a promise?"
"Not yet."
"Where do you live?"
"Yuyang County, Zoujia Village."
"Why do the volunteers in Yuyang County listen to you?"
"Because my brother is the captain of Yuyang County and the commander of the volunteers."
"Your brother is the county lieutenant of Yuyang? What is your name? ”
"Zou Jing, the word Ziyu."
"Well, I see."
After speaking, Ma Yue turned around and left, Zou Yuniang hurriedly said: "Hey, you promised to let me go, words don't count." ”
Ma Yue grinned, showing Bai Sensen's teeth, and said coldly, "When have you seen a rogue who talks and counts?" ”
……
Luoyang, the eastern capital, is lit up at the beginning of the day, and the night is dark.
Although the Han Empire has been called Bo Xishan, Luoyang is still full of crowns and prosperous. In a prosperous city like Luoyang, where dignitaries and nobles gather, it is naturally indispensable to the Qinglou Courtyard.
At that time, the women could be divided into two categories, one was the art record, which was equivalent to the current entertainment stars in the entertainment industry, and the other was the color record, which was equivalent to the current prostitution. The subdivision can be divided into five categories, palace records, camp records, official records, family records and people's records.
"Red Mansion" is the most famous Goolan Courtyard in Luoyang City, most of the women here are knowledgeable and gifted, and they are fascinated by many dignitaries and nobles in Beijing. There is a vast lotus pond in the backyard of the Red Mansion, and there are nine curves on the pond leading to the rockery in the center of the lake, and there is a fine house Yaxuan built on the rockery.
A graceful woman dressed in a jade-faced snow-fufu walked through the nine-song corridor into the Jingshe Yaxuan.
Yaxuan is divided into two rooms, separated by a bead curtain in the middle, and there are people in the window caressing the piano, and the posture is vaguely visible, but the sound of the piano turns back and forth, such as crying and complaining, as if it contains infinite thoughts.
The dressed woman entered Yaxuan, fell to the ground, and said respectfully: "Miss, the imperial court has just received an urgent report from Nanyang for eight hundred miles, and the Nanyang Yellow Turban has been destroyed by Zhu Jun. Nearly 300,000 troops were wiped out, and Zhang Mancheng, Han Zhong, Zhao Hong and other generations were all given the first to be punished. ”
