814 The End of the Crossbow

After Ah Liang's words were finished, all the people fell silent.

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha glanced at each other, and they all thought of Jiaping Guancheng more than ten years ago.

Because of the war for many years, although the name of Jiaping Guancheng is called a city, but in fact, the city wall and city gate are dilapidated, and the guards of the city gate are useless, and all kinds of people can be mixed into it, so that after Shen Jiajun was transferred to Jiaping Guancheng, it took a long time to clean up the detailed work and secret detection of various countries, although it took a lot of effort, but there are still fish that have slipped through the net, and it is a pity to think about it.

In addition to those with ulterior motives, the city is also mixed, and many wanted criminals and fugitives have gathered here, and they live wantonly in such a place close to the three sides, which makes the already chaotic town even worse.

Shen Cha has lived in such an environment full of despair and death since she was a child, and she is used to seeing life and death involuntarily, her neighbors, those grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles who take care of her very much, their little brothers, little sisters, and even children of the same age as her, say that they disappear and disappear, go out in the morning, and may not be able to come back at night, and there are also those who sleep the first night and leave this world quietly the next morning.

Shen Cha sighed softly, and later they had statistics, almost half of the people starved to death and froze to death because of the lack of food and clothing, and in comparison, there were many fewer people who died in the war.

The current Yiqing Mansion and the current cities and counties of the Jin Kingdom are probably not much different from the Jiaping Guancheng in the past, especially the Yiqing Mansion, which has been besieged for several days, and the food in the city is decreasing day by day.

Shen Haolin kept staring at Shen Cha, just by looking at her look, he knew what she was thinking, he reached out and patted her shoulder, those days have passed, and life will get better and better in the future.

Shen Cha smiled at him, saying that he was fine, but he suddenly felt sad when he heard Ah Liang's words.

Although Song Jue and Bai Meng have not experienced it personally, they can also imagine how bad the current Yiqing Mansion is.

"The situation in Yiqing Mansion is still under control?" Song Jue looked at Ah Liang, "Didn't there be any riots because of the siege?" ”

"The first few days were indeed very chaotic, and there were some smashing and robbing, they didn't dare to rob the shops of Xia Shang and Liao Shang, mainly targeting those Hu merchants, but they didn't get any bargains, and they were beaten by Hu Shang and their noses were swollen."

"They ......" several people glanced at each other, all of them were a little crying and laughing, "Are they not very good in their brains, how could they think of robbing Hu Shang?" That physique, can they beat it? ”

"In Yiqing Mansion, there is actually an unwritten rule, because in the past few years, the Jin Kingdom has repeatedly lost in the hands of Great Xia and Liao, and the shops of the Liao Merchants and Xia Merchants have a sufficient number of thugs, so those bastards and scoundrels in the Jin Kingdom will not attack them easily, but Hu Shang is different, they are sometimes more calm, after all, they are far away from their own homeland, if something really goes wrong, no one will come to rescue them in time, so they can not cause trouble, try not to cause trouble." Ah Liang shrugged, "It is precisely because of this that those bastards and scoundrels have the impression that they are easy to bully, and once something happens, Hu Shang and Hu Shang's shop will be the target of their attack." ”

"But this time it's a hit." Bai Meng sneered, "Stupid! With Hu Ren's physique, he can beat both of them with one fist. ”

"Who said it wasn't, this time I was beaten hard, and I didn't dare to provoke Hu Shang again, as for Xia Shang and Liao Shang, they wanted to rob it, but before they got to it, they were scared back by a row of heavily armed thugs in front of the shop." Ah Liang stretched out his hands, "In the end, it can only be dog eats dog." ”

"Rob yourself?" Seeing Ah Liang nodding, Bai Meng shook his head, "Don't you care about Yan Ping?" ”

"Naturally, it's in charge, but it's only a few who take the lead, and it can't put all the troublemakers and fighters in prison. Moreover, she also knew very well in her heart that as the siege of the city slowly became longer, the situation of food shortages in the city would become more and more obvious, and these shops would eventually be unable to escape. At the beginning, she sent her subordinates to lead people to set fire to the half of the street, and we had already moved all the things out of it before, thinking that when it was the most difficult, these would be able to stand up for a while. ”

"How is Wan Yanping's situation now? Can it still hold on? ”

"It's okay to hold on for a while, but it's also the end of the crossbow." Ah Liang sighed, "Especially during this time, the whole person is in a daze, in a trance, eating very little every day, sleeping very little, sitting in one place, looking at the sky can be in a daze for a long time." ”

"And then? How does she respond to the current situation? ”

She often said that the siege of the city is a group of rabble, not to mention those outsiders, that is, the Wanyan family, there are still bitter feelings between each other, and there are still many interests involved, she has sent several waves of people to sow discord, and there is still a certain effect. Within the Wanyan family, although the majority of those who oppose Wanyan Ping, there are still many people who are optimistic about her, and the reason why they will join the forces besieging the city is just to follow the trend. If this group of people can co-opt some more wavering or neutral people, the day is not far off to change the current confrontation. ”

"Wan Yanping is really ...... No matter what the situation, don't forget to continue to play tricks. Shen Cha raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's okay, the more chaotic Yiqing Mansion and Jin Guo are, the better it will be for us." ”

However, she also said that in fact, the real opponent is not the rabble outside the city, not Daxia and Liao, but the person who once supported her behind her back, but now wants her life. It was this man, in order to warn her to think twice, that he sent the dead to attack the palace in the dead of night. ”

"Have you ever seen this person who wants her life?"

"Nope." Ah Liang shook his head slightly, "There is such a person behind the subordinates, but every time Wan Yanping receives some strange people, she asks people to kick us out and prevent us from approaching her study. At one point, I had the audacity to take a peek. ”

"Discovered?"

"That's not going to happen." Ah Liang shook his head slightly, "I just saw a black back, that person was wrapped very tightly from head to toe, for fear that others would see a little clue from it." But......" she thought for a moment and continued, "I heard Yan Ping ask him if the Lord was well lately, and if he still couldn't sleep. The man said, everything is fine, please General Ping don't worry, and the most important thing is to do a good job of the things explained. The man's tone was very high-minded, and with a slight accent. ”

"Accent? Where's the accent? ”

"I don't know if it's homesickness for my subordinates, it sounds like an accent in Jiangnan, soft and glutinous, and it's still very kind to hear such an accent in a foreign country."
