Before the words fell, more than a dozen soldiers outside the gate of the General's Mansion turned their heads together, staring at Qian Feng with burning eyes.

Yan Zhen instantly felt the hairs on his body explode.

Facing the wind, Fang Ruohua was dressed in red with a spear, and immediately hung a huge shield on his side, his expression seemed to be a little dignified, and he shook his head without waiting for Qian Feng to reply: "Let's not talk about these things first, I have an urgent matter, General Bai is not in the east, in Qingxian, if you want to stay, stay and wait for us, and if you want to go together, you can go together." ”

After a few words, Fang Ruohua and more than a dozen Sea Dragon Guards walked away.

The sound of horses' hooves on the yellowing earth is slightly muffled and heavy, and people feel the sense of oppression just by listening to it.

Qian Feng's eyebrows and eyes showed three different colors.

Yan Zhen wiped his mouth silently, wiped off the earthy smell inside, spat at the foam twice, and asked angrily, "Boss, what should we do?" ”

Qian Feng casually took out a piece of tortoise shell and threw it upward, the tortoise shell fell to the ground, he looked at it twice, and nodded: "Go." ”

Although he himself didn't think that a famous general like Bai Shao would lie about his record, the news that Qingxian was recaptured was still doubtful after all, so it was better to go over and take a look in person and make sure of it.

The group rode horses and chased Fang Ruohua all the way.

When he went out of the city gate, he didn't take the official road, he was galloping all the way, Qian Feng frowned, and his expression showed a little surprise.

The soldiers on the city wall of the east side of the town are all fully clothed, and all kinds of ballistae are on the city wall.

Look outside the city again, there are fortresses everywhere, and there are countless passes.

A team of people came over from afar, and when they saw Fang Ruohua stop and salute, Fang Ruohua just nodded, not paying too much attention.

When Qian Feng saw them, he instinctively had a very bad premonition.

These people were all wearing heavy armor, with a heavy bloody aura on their bodies, full of evil spirits, and at a glance, their eyes were directly focused on the vital points on their bodies.

There is really something wrong with Donglin Town, it seems that the storm is coming, and the big war is coming.

Who are these people planning to go to war with?

Northern Barbarian?

Bai Shao defeated the Northern Barbarians in the Longyuan Valley and captured the news of Qingxian, Qian Feng naturally knew......

The Northern Barbarians and the Great Zhou Dynasty have also been at war for many years, Bai Shao is stationed at Shanyang Pass, is the first line against the Northern Barbarians, almost every year to fight, month after month to fight small battles, these years, it is said that it should have been used to it a long time ago.

Even if the brute is brutal, why is he so nervous?

It's no wonder that Qian Feng is instinctively vigilant, he has listened to the guidance of those dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing, these people have all kinds of problems, but they are definitely not incapable and talented.

These people were all wary of Bai Shao, before Qian Feng came to Donglin, he was already suspicious, but as soon as he arrived near Donglin, he actually received a secret letter that made him almost unable to maintain his complexion, how could he not think of the bad everywhere?

Qian Feng is a person, and when dealing with anything, he will first consider the worst-case scenario.

Just like now, if what the secret letter said is true, Bai Shao colluded with the Ming King and the thieves, would he want to cooperate with the Northern Barbarians and harm the Great Zhou Dynasty?

This is a terrible situation, but Qian Feng doesn't dare not think so.

Who knows what terrible things can be done by the rebel who dares to call himself King Ming for the sake of the throne?

He didn't dare to bet.

If it was for the throne, they didn't care about the lives of the people in the Central Plains, and they didn't care about the lives of their lives?

Before Qian Feng's thoughts were clear, he heard Yan Zhen exclaim, he raised his head suddenly, and his pupils contracted.

Not far away, there was a large row of wooden sheds, a group of brute soldiers to the north, and a sergeant of the Great Zhou to the south.

There was a straw curtain around the wooden shed, so that you couldn't see what was inside, but you could faintly hear some boiling sounds.

Obviously, no matter what they were doing, the soldiers of Da Zhou did not stop them - they were cooperating!

Yan Zhen was shocked and exclaimed, "What's that?" ”

He shuddered, and his knife was unsheathed.

When the brute heard the movement, he turned his head to take a look, and one of the leaders had a very light eyeball, and he bared his teeth at Yan Zhen.

Fang Ruohua made a sound with a whip, and the other party suddenly restrained the provocation on his face, bowed his head and said nothing.

Yan Zhen's heart was surging with blood, and he asked sharply, "Why are there barbarians here?" ”

Before Fang Ruohua could answer, the two cavalrymen from Donglin Town laughed: "It's very rare to have barbarians here?" ”

The other also smiled: "Beiban, Fumin, Da Zhou, and those pirates who don't know where they came from, there are everyone in this land." ”

"Today happens to be a big market, and as you walk ahead, you can see several small markets."

"It's just that it's not a war recently, both sides are afraid of careful work, and the supervision is relatively strict, and they are all serious sergeants patrolling and guarding."

Yan Zhen is even more incredible: "Dealing with barbarians is tantamount to seeking skin with tigers, how can you, how can you ......"

The two cavalrymen immediately stopped talking and didn't say more, thinking that they couldn't make sense with these people.

Qian Feng's expression was tense, and he unconsciously reached out and touched a small black purse on his waist, the stitches of the purse were rough and not fine, and as soon as he held it, a trace of warmth floated from the depths of his heart.

He had nothing to worry about in his life, but it was the king who scooped him out of the filthy mire, so he was loyal only to His Majesty, and never thought of anything other than his allegiance to His Majesty.

Everyone in the world asks for something, but what he asks for is much less than others, but recently, he has gradually felt that his desire has become greater.

He will be happy because of a woman's casual words, and he will also be weak because a woman glares at him, and he wants his woman to be happy, wear beautiful clothes, eat delicious food, and live in a spacious and warm house.

I also want to have children with her.

Qian Feng had suffered, and he knew what kind of evil consequences would happen if the Northern Barbarians broke through the defense line and entered the hinterland of the Central Plains.

A lot of people will die.

His women may also be bereaved by the loss of family and friends, and the displacement and torment.

Therefore, if Bai Shao really colluded with the barbarians, even if he died, he would not be allowed to succeed.

The Great Zhou Dynasty is not peaceful, but the chaos of its own family will be compared with the consequences after the barbarian invasion, which is nothing.

Qian Feng was indignant at this point in the depths of his heart, Fang Ruohua seemed to be completely ignorant, and ran all the way to Qingxian.

There are still about five miles away from Qingxian, and you can see the camp of Beiban in the distance, at this time it is late, and there are piles of fires burning, reflecting half of the sky in red.

Qian Feng and Yan Zhen were even more nervous.

The one who was the boss was okay, his expression was not flustered, but Yan Zhen had already shown a tragic appearance as if he was about to be generous and righteous, his eyes were rolling, and he was thinking that if Bai Shao dared to collude with the Northern Barbarians, he would kill this person desperately, and let the brothers send the news back, so that the court could prepare.

The group was worried, afraid that there would be an ambush in the northern barbarians, until they could see the city gate of Qingxian, Qian Feng was suddenly shocked.

Not only him, but all the people in the forbidden army couldn't help but shake their bodies.

Separated by the huge city and rows and rows of tripwires, barbs, traps, etc., were barbarians all over the mountains, perhaps their armor was not neat, but all of them were tall and strong, and they were holding longbows.

How many people are there?

Fifty thousand? Lakh?

Qian Feng's fingers trembled, and his heart trembled, and he couldn't count it for a while.

He felt confused for a while, Qingxian County was really taken by Bai Shao? The barbarians want to take it back? Or is this a trap set by Bai Shao and Beiman, but this thought is just flickering, after all, such a trap is completely unnecessary, he has been in the army for many years, judging by this, he can still do it.

As soon as I was distracted, I only heard more than a dozen big men in the Beiban position shouting in unison: "General Bai, General Bai, General Bai!" ”

The sound was like a torrent of thunder, and the earth seemed to be shaken for a moment.

Yan Zhen's body was crooked, if it weren't for the companions around him who reached out and grabbed him in time, his whole body would have fallen under the horse's hooves.

After the strong man finished shouting, someone came out of the crowd and shouted loudly.

"If you vote for me Darong, you will be given the title of county king, and the three states will be fiefdoms, with countless gold and silver, and beautiful women to choose from."

"The Great Zhou Dynasty treats you unkindly, you haven't been promoted once in ten years, Donglin Town has been short of food and clothing for many years, just trying to maintain it, but the Great Zhou court is still very jealous of you, and sooner or later one day you will unload the mill and kill the donkey."

"We are different from Darong, we respect heroes the most, as long as you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, no matter what conditions you want."

The voice of the Northern Barbarians is getting louder and louder.

Yan Zhen's face turned white.

Qian Feng also frowned.

It's not that he believes that Bai Shao will be moved so easily, but the lack of food here is true, and the court has been talking about it until now, and the matter of military spending has not yet been settled.

Just let the other party shout like this, I am afraid that it will affect the stability of the army's morale.

Yan Zhen was a little awkward, and couldn't help sighing: "What kind of mistake is this in the imperial court?" withholding military funds and not giving them, so that hundreds of thousands of soldiers in northern Xinjiang are hungry, is this waiting for a mutiny, or is it really going to deliberately force Bai Shao to rebel? ”

Or is it an excuse for the old white general to rebel?

By this time it was getting dark.

Fang Ruohua completely ignored the fact that the two sides were calling for battle, galloped all the way, but did not encounter the enemy soldiers, and led people straight to the city wall, put down the hanging basket on it, and everyone quickly arrived at the city wall.

Yan Zhen was still a little confused.

Obviously, he was still suspicious of Bai Shao in his heart just now, but now he came up in a daze.

When he entered Qingxian, he became someone else's bag.

Qian Feng touched the holy decree that had been well carried behind his back, and his eyes wandered around, but he couldn't see the figure of the veteran for a while.

Fang Ruohua stretched out his hand to take the water bladder of the soldiers beside him, drank a sip of cold water, gathered his clothes, half-leaned on the city wall, and said in a loud voice: "Hey, you have a good white mouth, but Da Rong is so poor, why do you dare to offer such conditions?" ”

"If we hadn't taken out a lot of refined salt, sugar, spices, and tea to help you, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to eat a little salt."

"It's too unreliable to be wide in front of us, our old general Bai is really gone, I'm afraid I won't be able to live my life, let's follow you to gnaw raw meat?"

Her voice was a little less feminine through the night, and she became indistinguishable from each other.

"Do you know what kind of life our generals are living? He eats a meal every day, eats a green vegetable, tofu, eggplant, and also wants 30 chicken hanging soup to match, eat a meal in the morning, if there are no 100 dishes on the table, 100 desserts, it is very economical. ”

"To drink tea, you have to drink tea before the Ming Dynasty, and you need at least rootless water to drink water, and often send special people to collect spring water from the south of the Yangtze River and transport it back to northern Xinjiang with great difficulty."

"The beauties around me are all beautiful and beautiful, and they know everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"I only wear clothes once a day, and I don't wear them as tribute."

Yan Zhen was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but think, do those noble lords in the capital live like this?

Qian Feng thought thoughtfully: "I remember when I went to the Xuguo Mansion for a banquet, I heard from a brother, but the banquet of ten people was paid two hundred taels on the account, and I never understood how the ten of us ate the two hundred taels, to say so, the words of the Sea King are not an exaggeration." ”

Fang Ruohua's voice fell, he took a sip of water, and shouted lazily: "You Darong have that kind of background, can you provide us old generals with such a life?" I want to empty the gloves of the white wolf, and dream of it. ”

The person who shouted on the other side was stunned, obviously he didn't expect to be persuaded to surrender in a routine manner, he was not scolded, and he didn't eat behind closed doors like before, but he could get a response, or such a strange response.

Although this response was quite annoying, this person was not angry, and laughed: "Who is on the other side?" Your temper is very much in line with our prince's appetite, and it is really very, unlike a hypocritical villain like Da Zhou. ”

"Don't worry, I represent our Prince Zhennan, the old prince said it himself, and he is willing to invite the holy decree, as long as Bai Laoshuai nods, the holy decree will be announced to the world, and he will never regret it."

So saying, he ordered thirty cattle and sheep, two chests of gold and silver, and some jewelry and antiques.

"This is just a small meaning, to show the sincerity of our prince."

All the soldiers on the city wall were speechless.

Fang Ruohua made a look, and the two sea dragon guards beside her threw out a rope and tied it to the city, but they grabbed the rope with one hand and ran down the city wall in three or two strokes.

The movements are extremely beautiful and chic, and they are easier than those masters who fly on the eaves and walk on the walls on the rivers and lakes.

Yan Zhen's expression was in a trance, and he looked at Fang Ruohua in disbelief.

Fang Ruohua turned around and stopped paying attention to the group of barbarians under the city, turned around and said with a smile: "People are willing to send it, let's not want it in vain, this little brother, General Bai is also a member of the imperial court, and he is still a little decent, he will not just let such a little bit of cattle and sheep gold leaf be bought." ”

The wind swept the yellow sand, and the half of the bright moon in the sky seemed to bring a bit of depression to this city.

Qian Feng and the others didn't know whether to be angry, severely reprimanded, or silent.

When I came to northern Xinjiang, I was at a loss for everything I saw.

At this time, I saw a sudden explosion among the green mountains in the distance, the red light reflected the sky, and the noise in the night was everywhere, screams, wails, as if the city wall of Qingxian County was moved.

"Attack the camp, the Da Zhou death squad has attacked the camp!"

Qingxian County was in a mess, and the middle-aged man who shouted politely at the beginning was so angry that his face turned blue and his teeth were gritted: "Okay, what a Bai Shao, I will definitely take off your head ......"

Before the words fell, Xu Liu on the city wall shouted: "Don't shout, our General Bai's head is fine, Prince Shao Mu's head is probably going to fall off first, I don't know that Wu Qien, the good brother of King Rong, can bear this responsibility." ”
