Chapter 817: The Bright Moon and the Stars Are Rare
"Where are you drunk with my head," the woman said, and waved behind her, and several servants stepped forward with Ye Yueyang in their arms.
The deputy general stared at Ye Yueyang with a drunken face, and there was indescribable jealousy in his heart.
He angrily grabbed the unconscious Ye Yueyang and threw it to the guards behind him, and then ordered: "Don't look up and go up to the city tower yet", those obsessive guards reluctantly carried Ye Yueyang up the city tower.
After the beauty watched Ye Yueyang enter the city tower, she smiled at the deputy general with satisfaction and said, "The general and all the guards have worked hard, and Leader Ye specially ordered the slave family to prepare wine and food for you." As she spoke, she beckoned, and the servant set up a table of delicate meals.
The adjutant general stared at the beauty with an obsessive expression and said, "Girl, since you're here, why don't you have a drink together."
The beauty also walked to the table politely, picked up the wine jug and poured wine for the lieutenant general, and filled it for the guards. After raising a glass and throwing a wink at each of them, the soldiers at this table unconsciously kept pouring wine as if they had lost their souls. Until their eyes were filled with their psychedelic looks.
At this time, the smile on the beauty's face gradually disappeared, she stood up with a cold expression, and her jade feet stepped on those crooked knives and guns, and her bewitching figure gradually disappeared into the night.
Above the tower, a series of lights and shadows rushed up the city wall, and they were like a mist in the moonlight, and in the blink of an eye they rushed into the east gate, each occupying the body of a guard.
Liang Shicheng stood at the head of the city and paced, looking up at the night sky with sparse moons and stars.
It was another Christmas Eve, and Liang Shicheng had lived on the city tower all day long since Di Shuai took away tens of thousands of soldiers, and he didn't dare to be careless.
Liang Shicheng also knew very well that among the current guards of Qianyuan City, more than thirty percent of them were transformed from the previous rebels defending the city.
Liang Shicheng also knew the quality of those people, and he would never trust them to put the safety of the entire Qianyuan City in their hands.
So he did it himself, and as long as he was there, even if the rebels were a little undisciplined, they would not dare to derelict their duties.
Liang Shicheng's gaze turned from the starry sky to the countryside.
In the open space that stretches for hundreds of miles, there are several beacon towers, they are like burning torches in the night, although they are no longer used for communication, but this eye-catching effect still makes Liang Shicheng feel very comforted.
At least he could be sure that no large-scale enemy forces had been found within a radius of a hundred miles.
Just as Liang Shicheng was staring at the beacon fire in the night, the deputy general stepped over, and he stared at Liang Shicheng for a long time before he made up his mind to step up to the city.
"General, leave it to the last general here, you have been guarding thirteen inevitable nights" The adjutant general stared at Liang Shicheng with a tired look with very concerned eyes.
Liang Shicheng turned around slowly, stared at the deputy general with an inexplicable expression and asked, "Do you think my physical strength can't hold on?" ”。
When the adjutant general heard this, he shook his head helplessly and said: "The general's physical strength is outstanding, and his subordinates are speechless."
"Go, you've done your duty during the day, go back and rest" Liang Shicheng took a step forward and slapped the deputy on the shoulder solemnly.
The adjutant general saw his resoluteness from Liang Shicheng's eyes, so he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "General take care", turned around and walked out of the city tower.
Out of the city tower, the adjutant general handed over the military order to another adjutant general.
He led several of his subordinates towards the city.
After walking a few steps, he couldn't help but look back at the city tower, only to see Liang Shicheng looking at him at the head of the city. His eyes were unusually bright in the night, even if his body had lost seven or eight pounds of flesh because of this, the vigilance that he had cultivated in the battle formation for many years still kept his attention highly focused.
Although Liang Shicheng is not the native old man of the Quartet, he has also followed Situ Di's conquest for seven or eight years.
In these years, Liang Shicheng can be said to have experienced a hundred battles, and his duties as a deputy general are definitely not decorations, they are all selected for first-level combat merits.
Therefore, he Liang Shicheng can form an army alone and take charge of the garrison.
It turned out that Liang Shicheng thought that his position as a garrison could replace the Quartet clan and start a big war with the seven major families here. For this reason, Liang Shicheng has been preparing for a long time, and even washed out the most fashionable armor in his early years, just waiting to charge into battle. However, Situ Di came to Qianyuan City unexpectedly, and Liang Shicheng's original position as a frontier garrison suddenly became a deputy general in the army, and he was ordered to defend the city.
This made Liang Shicheng really depressed for a while, he was a fierce general, he didn't let him go into battle, but let him stay in the city to guard the supplies, which made him very uncomfortable in his heart.
However, Di Shuai's order, he couldn't disobey, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere. Especially after Di Shuai transferred a large number of war cavalry out of the city, his responsibilities were even heavier.
Liang Shicheng is not a person who copes with errands, he seriously defended the city for thirteen days, in these thirteen days, Liang Shicheng can be said to have exhausted all the possibilities of the enemy army to break the city, so he is not at ease, and will climb the city tower every night to guard it personally.
Unlike Liang Shicheng's cautiousness, the other defenders of Qianyuan City were a little loose, and they didn't believe that anyone would come to attack Qianyuan City at all. Especially in the two groups of demons and Di Shuai, they all live within a hundred miles of the city. In such a situation, wouldn't those who still want to siege the city have broken their brains?
Therefore, as a good brother who has been with Liang Shicheng all the way, the deputy general naturally understands this very well. He really didn't want Liang Shicheng to be overwhelmed by this, and in the end, he only made a small contribution in this battle.
In fact, as a deputy general and a good brother, he doesn't want Liang Shicheng to make contributions, and then he will get a better future, but in the current situation, Liang Shicheng's self-blame can only end here.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not worth it, so he didn't want to go back to the camp, and dragged a few guards to drink. However, the military discipline in the barracks was very strict, and the soldiers were strictly forbidden to drink alcohol at night, and they could only walk towards the largest tea house in Qianyuan City.
When the deputy general stepped into the tea house, a bunch of plainclothes city guards walked out of the private room on the second floor, and the two sides walked to each other, stared at each other, and then tacitly walked by.
Although they secretly destroyed military discipline, they did not dare to come up in military uniforms, you must know that the Liang garrison in front of him is a ruthless master, once he violates military discipline and is caught, the result is absolutely miserable.
In the teahouse, although it is not easy to taste tea at night, there are still many customers. They don't do it for tea, but for a few delicate snacks in the teahouse.
There are also drinks in the private rooms of the tea house, so it is not only tea customers here.
The adjutant general walked into the teahouse with a few guards, and each found a place to sit down, which was directly facing the city gate, which could be regarded as their leisure and a little bit of duty to defend the city.
The shopkeeper was very interested in sending a few small snacks over, and lacquered a few pots of good tea on the stone table. A few of the guards also happily ate and drank, as in the past, no one thought of what would happen on this peaceful night.
A few guards drank tea and chatted, and before they knew it, a quarter of an hour had passed, when two merchants in fancy clothes came out of the inner hall, their cheeks slightly red, and their walking was a little shaky, obviously having drunk a lot.
Several of the guards glanced sideways at them, ignoring them. It wasn't until they watched the two merchants walk out of the teahouse that they began to chat and drink tea again.
Who knew that it didn't take long for the two businessmen to walk out. They returned to the teahouse, only this time their eyes and faces were strange.
The two merchants walked up the stairs step by step, and finally stood at the guard's table, staring at the few of them.
This made one of the guards a little annoyed and shouted: "Look at what, get out of here."
However, the two merchants turned a deaf ear to the lieutenant's words, and continued to walk towards the stone table. Their steps were heavy, and an invisible cold aura rushed towards them.
Hey. The adjutant general paused for a moment, he really couldn't figure out where the two businessmen got such a fierce aura. Before he could think clearly, he saw the head of one of the guards on the outermost part of the stone table splash with a bubble of bright red juice, and in the blink of an eye, it drew a perfect arc in the air.
Then there was another muffled grunt, and the guard to his left fell. Half of his body had been broken.
Before the lieutenant could realize what was happening, a scarlet beam of light shot into his eyebrows, but fortunately he reacted quickly, and in the moment of life and death, he chose to climb out of the window and fell from the second-floor teahouse to the long street. This street, which used to be brightly lit, is now pitch black, and the surroundings are quiet and terrible, and the night is like a big mouth ready to choose people to devour, ready to swallow everything at any time.
The lieutenant general touched the cold sweat under the corner of his forehead, he sensed very keenly that the danger was approaching him, although he was only a low-level city gate guard, he had also been in battle, so he was very sensitive to that kind of danger. Especially when the slightly cold wind brought goosebumps up on his spine, he decisively chose to charge, no matter the consequences, he must now rush to the city gate and tell Liang Shicheng all this.
Running all the way, the wind in his ears was rushing, he didn't have time to tell if it was caused by himself, or someone chasing him, he only knew one thing, he must not stop now, once he stopped, he would end up as sad as the guards just now.
After passing through several streets and alleys, the guards still did not see a single light, and it seemed that the whole city was plunged into darkness, even the Red Sleeve Pavilion, which was a night trade, was dark.
Is it really ruined? The lieutenant flickered in his heart, and he immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully, but he did not hear anything. Even if the city is broken, it is impossible to make the entire Qianyuan City too late to resist at once. The lieutenant soon gave up on this idea, and now he just wanted to rush to the city tower and find the garrison Liang Shicheng, and then everything would be clear.
At this time, the deputy general didn't care about Liang Shicheng's discovery of his dereliction of duty, and ran all the way to the city tower. But when he was about to turn the alley, his high-speed steps instantly froze on the ground, and he could not move a single step.
The deputy general of "Liang Shoubei" looked at the other party in a daze for a long time before he exclaimed in surprise. But at this moment, Liang Shicheng was already holding a long knife and striding towards him.
The blade almost slashed off the lieutenant's forehead, and it was even more thrilling than the two merchants just now. The adjutant knew that he was derelict in defending the city, but he would not come up and kill himself.
The adjutant general turned around sharply, stepped away, and hurriedly explained: "Lord Garrison, my subordinates really don't know that there are enemies in Qianyuan City during the day, and my subordinates are willing to be punished by military discipline."
The adjutant general is also a person who is familiar with military discipline, so he naturally knows what kind of punishment should be punished for such dereliction of duty.
But Liang Shicheng didn't give up, picked up the long knife and slashed down at his neck.
Its blade was fast and fierce, and even after he dodged the slash, he was extremely embarrassed.
The adjutant general glared at Liang Shicheng's eyes and shouted, "Lord Garrison, even if you want to kill me, at least give me a chance to explain."
But Liang Shicheng ignored his words at all, raised his arm again, and slashed at his lower abdomen with a volley.
This time, the lieutenant general was not as lucky as just now, and a blood mark was cut in his lower abdomen, and most of his clothes were splashed with blood.
The adjutant general pressed the wound with his hand, stood up from the ground with a hideous expression, glared at Liang Shicheng and shouted: "Okay, if you want to kill, you will kill, Lao Tzu is not a good man if he frowns."
The deputy general was also angered by Liang Shicheng's repeated attacks, so he pulled out the long sword behind him and made a gesture of fighting to the death.
At this moment, suddenly a crack opened in the sky, and a silver-white pillar of light shot down, quickly flickering on the two of them, and then disappeared again. At this time, the deputy general raised his head, and finally realized an extremely abnormal thing, that is, there was a round moon just now, but in the blink of an eye, the entire sky was black, and not even a little starlight existed.
If it weren't for that silvery-white pillar of light just now, the guards would not have discovered these anomalous celestial phenomena.
Wrong! The adjutant general wondered for a moment, all this was too unusual. First, the brother who accompanied him to drink tea was killed by two merchants, and then there was no light in the entire Qianyuan City, and now he was chased and killed by the garrison. . . All these incredible things were presented in front of the deputy general so coincidentally, which made the deputy general have a trace of doubt in his heart.
Whether all this was true or not, he pinched his cheek hard, and a heart-piercing pain made him understand that he was in a state of consciousness, but the strange state in front of him made him not believe that everything he had experienced was real.
You can't die....
When Liang Shicheng's long knife was about to fall on his head, the deputy general burst out with a strong desire to survive, and then rushed out with an arrow step, and then he was slashed behind him, he didn't care about the pain, and continued to run towards the city tower, the only thing he could do at the moment was to rush out of the city, no matter what the result was, he had to figure out the situation.
