Lord Zhuo was reasonable, and in just a few words, he reprimanded these troublemakers and took them out of the dry camp.

"Su Yi Congee, this bastard boy, has no interest." Cao Guxin patted the dust on his robe, the little tiger was ruthless when he moved his hands, and now his legs, feet and arms hurt straight, "There is not enough success and more than failure, and I like to pour dirty water on others." "What he said was to slander Zhang Jianzhi, and he said that it was a fine work, and Zhang Jianzhi was rescued by escorting artillery fire, if the surname Zhang was a villain, then he Cao Guxin didn't help the abuse.

It's just gibberish.

The bandits lost their profits, and when they saw people, they opened their mouths to buckle the pot.

Zhang Jianzhi pursed his lips and looked depressed, and said in a deep voice: "General Su wants to ask for soldiers, and General Qiu wants to hide it, which is really difficult to do in the court and the army." He seems to be able to understand very well why the two of them want to sprinkle their anger on him Zhang Jianzhi, someone has to take the blame for the defeat of the bandits, he Zhang Jianzhi is the eyeliner sent by the court, to put it bluntly, it is a "small report".

Cao Guxin patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "If you have anything to say, let's go to the court according to the truth and ask the Son of Heaven to make a judgment." "Why be afraid of those two guys reversing right and wrong, he strode in a daze.

Zhang Jianzhi turned his back with a helpless smile, but the smile was hidden under the wind and moon, and the corner of his eyes looked gloomily in the direction where the fire dragon left, what a Zhuo Zhifu, rushed to the dry camp to save people - if Su Yizhi made trouble for a while, when the official office of Shunning Mansion came, I am afraid that the Fa-rectification on the spot can also be cut first.

The surname Zhuo, people are old, but their courage has become bigger, who gave the dog guts and where did they get the news, heh.

The torches were blazing, and the horses' hooves were chaotic.

Zhuo Zhifu didn't say a word, and threw these two "sinners" into the prison of the Leyu Mansion, the scene was clean, introspective!

"Zhuoyuan! Oops, old man! Su Yicongee was still angry, and now seeing the yasmen locking the prison door in an uproar, he kicked viciously, "You-you are aiding and abusing, knowing what the two provinces are doing, they are perverse, you are an old man who has lived for sixty, and half a foot into the coffin board is so daring!" ”

Zhuo Yuan, touched his gray beard through the prison door, no matter how the yellow-mouthed boy cursed him, he was not angry, waved his hand to signal the officials around him to retreat, he listened to the footsteps and walked away, and then cleared his throat.

"As the little general said, most of Mo He Shunning's official offices have been infiltrated by thieves, and there are not a few who are full of private pockets and hide from the world, Mo He's second chair, Lord Lin, was originally the son of the thief, and he has been in the officialdom for a few years to clean up people and obey them, money, who doesn't want to earn, power, who doesn't want to touch;" The head of Zhuo Zhifu is Dao, he has never been clear, no, which of those border cities around him does not know the dirty deeds inside, "The Marquis of Xichuan spent 230,000 taels of silver to buy an official knight, and he wrote off the good and the honorable, think about it, how many big people in Shengjing City participated in buying and selling officials, and how many nobles secretly supported them behind their backs, you are - cut off people's money." ”

Since ancient times, such people have never ended well.

Su Yicongee's fist slammed on the prison door, and the chains made a loud noise, but the old man Zhuo's expression did not move, but instead smiled with two points of deplorability: "There are policies, there are countermeasures, the Son of Heaven has always only looked at the things on the excerpts, merits and demerits, good and bad, right and wrong, can a hundred mouths in the court still stop your life," the old man lamented, "A Su Yi porridge, a Lu Yixuan, the old man's friends should not say anything, you, who can use the power of the people to spread in the two provinces?" ”

"This—this is the majesty of heaven, and it is the will of the saints!" Qiu Lian's face was red, how - the Son of Heaven swore that the bandits would become bullshit when they arrived here, Mo He Shunning has such a bold man, won't he proclaim himself king one day?!

Zhuo Yuan laughed, laughed and sighed: "Okay-even if you let you suppress the bandits, they surrender to Cheng, but what about the adults in Shengjing City, they who have received dirty silver, they still sit back and relax, and they are worthless." He kicked the dust at his feet at the right time, "After a few years, when the rumors subside, the thieves can still make a comeback, the little general, General Qiu, the matter of suppressing bandits is thankless and offends people, otherwise after many years, why have so many officials in the court not criticized it, on the contrary, it is you - come to the corner of Shengjing City, which has been provoked in just a few months, and the impeachment continues." ”

Behold—the words of men are terrible, and there are those who can destroy the faithful from a thousand miles away without the use of the sword.

Qiu Lian's back molars grinded loudly, and he paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pot, so-this Zhuo Yuan has always chosen to be a solitary person who doesn't listen to anything outside the window?

"If you are afraid of gossip, is it the way to serve the country, the people, and the officials!" He shouted angrily, Qiu Lian had listened to the teachings under Ren An* for many years, and he was well versed in the right and wrong of the road.

"The way of being an official? As an official in a remote area, there is no loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness. Old man Zhuo pursed the corners of his lips, "There is a saying called 'raising bandits for self-respect', if you kill the thieves, then what do you need so many officials, barracks, and princes and generals in the two provinces to do." "Once the officials rule Qingming, the imperial court will not allocate funds and will not help, and the ensuing harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes will all be played, so how can you make money?

Not to mention that the two provinces are eager to get rid of the thieves, and the surrounding provincial officials are afraid that they will not help, and these few hot-blooded guys are filled with righteous indignation in their bones, and they have to let God know that good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded.

Not qualified enough.

Inadequate.

Su Yicongee looked at the expression of excellence and no longer resisted, and suddenly sneered, and the desolation of late autumn finally fell in the laughter, he slowly staggered back, and his figure was more depressed and helpless: "So, lower your eyebrows and go with the head, and join the stream?" "In this world, in Mo He Shunning, there is no cause and effect.

Zhuo Yuan thought for a while, and he suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the only wooden window in the square prison: "Little general, look outside." ”

Outside.

In the late autumn night, Xiao Suo is cold and cold, except for the moonlight wisps like the epitome of ghosts, even the warmth of half an inch of firelight can not be absorbed, as if under the four sides of the world, all the enthusiasm has been crushed, what bandits, what revenge, what morality, the enthusiasm before the expedition, the generous statement is now looking around, and no one is accompanied.

The dead are dead, the wounded are wounded, the beasts are trapped, and they are in prison.

The sudden rise made Su Yicongee lose all his strength and delusions, he turned his head with red eyes but he was gone, and in the cell, only himself and Qiu Lian breathed shortly, as if they were dying.

"Bad old man, you come back to the master!"

The tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and the hoarse and angry shouts spread throughout the entire Leyu Mansion.

After these few turnovers, it is conceivable that under the fog peak, there is a shortage of food and grass and no medicine to help, and the soldiers in the besieged city are all dead.

The late autumn night is cold, and the dew is biting cold.

There was silence on the foggy peak.

Since the day of the battle, Zhou Ye broke out of the siege with black powder and a team of dozens of people, the thieves have indeed retreated for several miles, but as soon as they look at it from a distance at night, the camping camp like a spark is like a blockade line, firmly surrounding the entire walled city from east to west.

There is a shortage of food in the village, many soldiers are weak and powerless because of wound infection, seeing that there is a lack of skills to return to the sky, Lu Yixuan has counted the rations found in the village, which lasts for about half a month, I think it must be the vicious trick set up by the white-clothed scholar, giving you half an inch of hope and then destroying it hard, wearing out all your blood and high morale, no matter how resentful the hatred will be eliminated in time and pain, half a month can make the beast become a sick cat, sooner or later, a plate of scattered sand.

And those thieves who retreated three feet, they were quietly watching all the time, but every once in a while, they would suddenly beat gold drums, shout as if launching an offensive, and then laugh and scold, pretending, these few times after the nervous provocation of the small soldiers in the whole walled city are more like frightened birds, panic and uneasy.

Fatigue, pain, hunger, enough to break down.

Especially in the past half a month, no one cares, Su Yicongee, Qiu Lian, where are they going, Zhou Ye, who has broken through the encirclement, has he found anyone, or-

"General Su, they, have they forgotten that there are still us?!" In the daily horror, I can't help but hear a lot of absurd speculation.

"Will it ...... Could it be that they also descended thieves?! "But these remnants of the Wuming Peak are left to resist to the death, in fact, they are just a group of monkeys who have been tricked, and no one will sing the praises of your sacrifice.

Everyone's mind is asking itself countless times with doubts and suspicions.

If—if the other people are greedy for life and afraid of death, then these people are still guarding a foggy peak, and they are still guarding their unswerving determination, what are they doing?

What does it mean?

"Shut up." Lu Yixuan grabbed the trembling little soldier with cold eyes, the moonlight tonight was clear, there was no bonfire but he could see people's expressions clearly, fear permeated the nerves and eyes, Lu Yixuan pushed him away and picked up a small stone from the ground and put it on the stone pile beside him.

If Su Yicongee can move freely, he is afraid that he will stir up the two provinces early, but Zhou Ye has not heard from him for half a month, which can only mean that they have been restricted from moving, and the imperial court, most likely, has stood by and watched.

She didn't know what was going on at the foot of the mountain, but she couldn't tell the soldiers around her who still had little hope about such speculation, it would only cause the morale of the army to be unstable.

"Wu Qi," she beckoned, and a head poked out from the crowd and squeezed in, also a grizzled little soldier, his nails were embedded in mud, and his body was extremely dirty with dried blood, "Did you find out?" ”

The kid named Wu Qi wiped his nose and nodded, picked up a dead branch from the ground and scratched it in front of him, only to find that everyone was surrounding a pile of strange-shaped stones, some piled up, some patchwork, large and small, of different colors, which looked more like a simple topographic map.

The mounds are mounds, side by side are ravines, and the winding peaks and peaks are twists and turns.
