In the midst of wild laughter, Zheng Yu stared at Zhang Qi intently and hissed and said, "Zhang, don't be complacent, don't be complacent." Baidu search [56 Library] Hahaha, this time, you can't escape, you can't escape! Her cruel laughter carried a kind of bitter cruelty, but also a kind of decisive viciousness.
Zhang Qi was stunned, Princess Luoyang on this side took her eyes away from Zhang Qi and Zheng Yu's faces, she turned her head to look at Queen Hu, and saw that Queen Hu's anger was less at this time, so she stepped forward and saluted, and said: "Niangniang, the concubine thinks that it is better to let the Zheng family atone for the crime." Seeing that Queen Hu was about to get angry again, Princess Luoyang hurriedly said: "The concubine thinks that she can be allowed to be a lobbyist in the Zhou ** camp." But wouldn't it be a wonderful thing to persuade the Zhou people to let us go back to Jinyang first? β
As soon as these words came out, Queen Hu was really moved. She glanced at Zheng Yu, the queen who believed that "it is better to be a prostitute than to be a prostitute", and she couldn't help but think: This slut betrayed me, how could the good thing of being a "prostitute" in the military camp cheapen her? Well, it's good to send it to Zhou Ying, maybe there is still some hope.
At that moment, she nodded, "Okay." Then the matter will be handed over to the king of Luoyang. β
"Don't worry, mother." Princess Luoyang motioned for her servants to drag Zheng Yu away. Looking at Zheng Yu's figure leaving with a cruel smile, Zhang Qi chased two steps, but still stopped.
She can see that Zheng Yu, who has reached this point, has nothing to love. Even if she wanted to ask, she couldn't ask anything famous.
Zheng Yu was dragged to the city wall.
At this time, the major city gates did not dare to open them because they were afraid that the Zhou people would take advantage of the situation. After deliberating for a long time, Princess Luoyang came up with a plan, that is, to put Zheng Yu in a hanging basket and send her to the Zhou army in this way.
So, after a drum sound, the quiet Zhou army found that a "woman" had been hung on the city wall of the Qi people. When they were surprised to bring the woman back to the camp, the king of Luoyang and the soldiers secretly shook their heads.
After this incident, Zhang Qi knew that Zheng Yu was lucky not to die. is also ruined. Shameless returned to the circle of nobles of the Qi country. She's gone, what more conspiracy can there be? Besides, I'm not a vegetarian either, so I need to pay more attention. Immediately put the matter aside.
After Zheng Yu lowered the city wall, the Zhou people's attack did not slow down for a moment. And in Luoyang City, the soldiers and civilians who are gradually running out of grain and grass. Began to shrink clothes and reduce food.
No one knows when the gates will be breached, and no one knows if reinforcements will be available. If it weren't for the fact that everyone's property and family members were in Luoyang City, I am afraid that some people would not be able to withstand this pressure and open the door to the city.
At this time, the people also found a dozen tunnels dug into the city. Attack in turns in hundreds of people. Under the fire and water, the Zhou people in the tunnel had to withdraw. And after this incident, Zhang Qi's reputation has become higher.
On this day, Zhang Qi sat in the courtyard to eat, and as the situation became more and more tense, everyone's food was compressed and placed in front of Zhang Qi. There is only a small plate of rice. As for meat, it was reserved for the generals who were fighting, and it was already seriously insufficient. Vegetables and weeds, etc., because there were no guards to look for her, she had already stopped eating.
Carefully eating the last bite of white rice, Zhang Qi didn't have time to swallow it, his stomach churned, and he couldn't help but rush to the side and vomit.
After vomiting for a while, Zhang Qi pressed his stomach. He took the warm water from the maidservant and swallowed it slowly.
An old lady beside the maidservant looked at Zhang Qi with concern and said in a low voice, "Princess, do you want to find a doctor?" β
Zhang Qi shook his head.
She didn't have to look at it, she also knew that she must be pregnant. What can you do after watching it? It didn't reach the ears of Cheng Shi and others, and they were "confused" by nothing.
With the support of the maidservants, Zhang Qi sat down slowly. When she vomited just now, her movements were more intense, which made her stomach ache faintly.
Seeing Zhang Qi sitting there with a pale face, the old lady couldn't help but say, "Princess." Do you want to call the two guards back? β
Zhang Qi shook his head again. Call back the guards at such a nervous time? Is she trying to be hated?
Zhang Qi, who closed his eyes, thought of Zheng Yu's cruel smile and words when he left. I couldn't help but whisper: "Although the soldiers are in danger, we must also prevent someone from being unfavorable to me." You have to be careful with food, clothing, and shelter. β
These maidservants and old ladies were originally selected by the King of Lanling to serve Zhang Qi, and there is no problem with their loyalty. They asked aloud, "Yes." β
Zhang Qi was weak, so he waved his hand and ordered, "Stand down." β
She had just said these three words, when she suddenly heard a cry not far away, and couldn't help but ask, "Who is crying?" β
A servant girl trotted over, approached and said, "It's Niangniang, the queen is sitting on the ground crying." β
Sitting on the ground and crying? The corners of Zhang Qi's mouth twitched, and she ordered: "Close the door of the garden, if someone comes to look for me, it will say that I am not feeling well and have fallen asleep." β
"Yes."
Empress Hu's bitter cry seemed to be a bad omen, and on the second day, waves of riots began in Luoyang City. The desperate people began to attack the rich in the city, and at the same time, they also extended their hands to the "women" they saw.
At this time, when this kind of thing happened, the king of Luoyang was furious, and he gave several orders in a row, and after cutting off more than a thousand heads, he finally nippled this riot in the bud.
At the same time, in the Luoyang Palace, the desperate Queen Hu and the major nobles and "women" couldn't suppress their emotions, and in just two days, there were thirty or forty corpses of servants lifted out of the palace.
If it is usually repaid, when almost all the men have been requisitioned, the nobles and women do this kind of thing, and suddenly, a kind of haze and resentment began to spread over the Luoyang Palace.
Zhang Qi kept saying that he was sick and closed the door of the garden and did not come out. And no matter when, she is always so gentle and calm, so she is directly proportional to the other cruel nobles in the house. Such a woman really convinced the servants and thanked Dade.
On the twenty-eighth day of the siege of the Zhou people, in the palace of Luoyang, there was a small riot suddenly, but when more than a dozen servants slept a noble woman, they strangled her with ropes! Then, the servants, who had never committed murder, screamed of their own because of the panic, which alarmed the people.
As soon as this kind of riot came out, even the king of Luoyang outside was shocked. At the moment, he kept a calm face, except for the two loyal servants left by each noblewoman, the rest of the servants were all transferred out of the palace by him.
However, none of these implicated Zhang Qi and the people around her. Incidentally, the noble "woman" who lived in the same courtyard as Zhang Qi and had been quiet under her influence was not implicated.
In the evening, an old woman's face was as "pale" as the land approached Zhang Qi, and when she saw her serving tea to herself, her hand kept shaking. Zhang Qi couldn't help asking: "What happened, why are you so flustered?" β
As soon as her voice fell, the old woman suddenly fell to her knees and kowtowed to her. While kowtowing, the old woman said in a trembling voice: "Thank you princess for giving the old slave a way to live." Thank you to the princess for giving the old slave a way to live. β
At this moment, about twenty servants had already gathered around. Seeing this, everyone was surprised.
Zhang Qi helped the old lady up, frowned and asked, "What happened?" "She has a lot of morning sickness these days, and she wants to eat this and that, but she has nothing but a small bowl of rice, and she has lost a lot of weight.
The old lady looked at Zhang Qi and said in a trembling voice: "Outside, outside has changed children and eaten...... Those who were driven out of the palace are now made into military rations for the soldiers to eat. β
As soon as these words came out, a sound of vomiting and the sound of slumping to the ground sounded at the same time. After Zhang Qi vomited for a while, he said with a white face: "Already, Yi Zi and eat?" β
"Yes. The king of Luoyang just gave an order, saying that it was to slaughter the military horses. The old woman trembled, "The old slave heard from the soldiers that the military horses had finished eating, and if the reinforcements had not yet arrived, they would directly slaughter the old and weak "women" and children. β
As soon as these words came out, there was no sound in all directions. Unconsciously, Zhang Qi had already knelt down in front of him. These servants knelt down to Zhang Qi, if she hadn't closed the door of the garden and forbade her to enter and leave, if it weren't for her "sexuality" and generosity, maybe they would have become military rations now.
Now, although they are under the sentence "If the reinforcements have not arrived, they will directly slaughter the old and weak 'women' and children." I was frightened, but at this time, as long as I can live for one day, I will get a day's cheapness!
The Zhou people besieged the city for the thirty-second day.
By this time, the horses had been slaughtered, and the children and women with straw markers on the streets, and the wandering civilians in tattered clothes, began to disappear one by one. As for Zhang Qi's white rice, there is only half a bowl left for each meal. The servants even ate porridge directly.
Although Luoyang City is large, there are some grain and grass reserves, but it can't withstand the consumption of tens of thousands of men who fought bloodily. By this time, the king of Luoyang had already intercepted all the grain and grass and supplied the soldiers with all his might.
The thirty-third day of the siege of the Zhou people.
Several maidservants in Zhang Qi's mansion also disappeared when they went out of the garden gate to collect items. At the same time, the war at the head of the city seemed to have reached a white-hot stage, and the shouts, shouts, and drums shook the ears deafeningly.
In the evening, Zhang Qi, who had lost a lot of weight, sat in the courtyard, washed her hands and began to stroke the piano. Since the 25th, the king of Luoyang has found her and asked her to play the piano and flute whenever she has free time. Because, Zhang Qi's piano sound is leisurely and peaceful, which can soothe people's anxious mood and relieve fatigue. Therefore, every time she plays the piano, it tends to become quieter and quieter.
Just when Zhang Qi's piano came leisurely, a rush of footsteps came, and in the blink of an eye, a hoarse voice shouted from outside: "Princess Lanling, please come out." β
A handmaid replied, "What is the matter?" β
"It seems that reinforcements have come from our side, and the king of Luoyang wants to invite you to wait at the head of the city! In case there is King Lanling among the people who come to help, the princess can also identify one or two. β
What the? Coming for reinforcements?
After a moment of calm, suddenly, there was a burst of crying and laughter in the palace. (To be continued)
