069 Bloodless Blades
Qin Xiao looked up at Zhao Bin with the eyes of a female fan meeting her beloved long-legged Oba male god, and Zhao Bin also turned around suddenly, and strode out of the tent with the look of a strong man going to death, but he stumbled and tripped over the threshold.
The ground is yellow earth, and if you fall, it stands to reason that there will not be any big problems. But Zhao Bin fell out of the trick. He turned 360 degrees on the ground with his right heel as the axis, then lay straight on the ground, and then began to convulse all over his body, foaming at the mouth.
Qin Xiao feels that this scene is so familiar, yes, this is a common mistake made by Comrade Nicholas Zhao Si in "Country Love", but Zhao Si's illness is obviously not as serious as Zhao Bin, and everyone is foaming at the mouth.
Out of respect for the leader, Qin Xiao still pretended to be panicked and ran over to help, this help was unbearable, and he drew even harder.
"Medic! Call the Medic! Zhao Qiao'er ran over and said angrily: "Xiaobin, he's crazy again, what can I do!" β
What to do? Recuperate!
Qin Xiao returned in vain and returned to the stone pillar alone. However, what she saw and heard on the road made her feel bright.
It's dusk.
Daddy is leading people to strengthen the fortifications on the city gate tower, and several red-coated cannons have been erected on the wall of his daughter.
Inside and outside the city gate gathered a crowd of people, both large and small, all of them carrying large bags and small bags. I heard that there was going to be a war, and a few days ago some people had already begun to drag their families and prepare to go out to avoid trouble. But without exception, they were all brought back at the foot of Huilong Mountain.
Qin Xiao walked up to the city gate tower and came to the dusty father.
Daddy was very dedicated, moving bricks and mud walls with the soldiers.
"Daddy, let's go out and hide. With 3,000 soldiers and horses, how could it be possible to defeat Hao Ming? β
Daddy patronized the wall and didn't raise his head: "The road to the north has been blocked, where to hide." β
"Then you can't know that it's death, and you have to fight hard with others!"
"If we don't resist, the rebels will come and kill all of us. If you resist, you can live a little longer. β
"Daddy, on the way back from Huilongshan, I met a lot of villagers from Yizhou County, they were all hiding in us before the rebels came, and now they are all returning to Yizhou County."
"Yizhou County was occupied by the rebels three days ago, what are they going back for? Is it to be killed? β
"The villagers of Yizhou County told me that the rebels only attack the city and do not harass the people, even if you are an official or a soldier, as long as you don't resist them, they will not hurt you."
"Is there such a thing?"
Qin Xiao nodded affirmatively.
A hurried sound of horses' hooves came from the meadow, it was Brother Qin Liangping, and when he reached the city gate, he jumped off his horse and ran quickly up the city gate tower.
"Daddy, the rebels have occupied Wunan County!"
Qin Kui's face changed greatly: "Wunan County is next to us, the rebels are attacking the city, why is there no movement at all?" β
"The commander of Wunan County is an old friend of Hao Ming, and Hao Ming sent him a letter a few days ago, saying that as long as he opened the city gate and let them into the city, he promised not to hurt any soldiers and civilians. The commander of Wunan County listened to his words, withdrew all city defenses, and the rebels directly entered the city with great fanfare. Wunan County ordered the seal to go back to his hometown to farm! β
Qin Kui: "Did the rebels burn and loot?" β
Qin Liangping: "A few days ago, I sent my brothers disguised as villagers into several counties occupied by the rebels, and the brothers came back and said that the rebels had not committed any crimes. Andβ"
"Daddy, be careful!"
An arrow shot out of nowhere, and flew straight up the city gate.
Qin Xiao's hands were quick and he quickly pushed Daddy aside.
However, the arrow that came out of thin air didn't seem to want to hit anyone, and it aimed at the pillar of the arrow tower, and it was accurate enough to nail it directly to it. Close to the arrow, there is a small bamboo tube tied, and it is obvious that there must be information in the bamboo tube.
Qin Liangping stood on tiptoe to barely reach the arrow, and there was indeed a note stuffed in the small bamboo tube.
The note reads:
Brother Qin Kui, after three years, my brother is very concerned, tomorrow morning you and my brother can meet again, I am willing to fight with my brother and talk happily.
The Ming Dynasty was enclosed from the Sanpin Anyuan General to Burmese to comfort the extravagant Ming
Qin Xiao: "Daddy, it seems that Hao Ming also wants to take down the stone pillar without blood." β
"Daddy doesn't know." Qin Kui looked at the sun that had completely set in the western mountain and fell into deep thought.
One night.
All night, on the tower of the city gate, more than ten chief officials of the Qin family's father and son, Qiu Chengyun and Shizhu counties were discussing the question of where to go.
Until then, they still couldn't negotiate the result.
Officials have the following concerns: Will the extravagant entry into the city make good on his promise? If the rebels are allowed to enter the city, will the court blame them, and will they be punished for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason? The crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason is to destroy the nine tribes!?
This group of officials kept chattering, only making Qin Xiao's ears buzz. Now, they're still nagging. However, with the arrival of Ryohiko's fire, they suddenly fell silent.
"Daddy, ladies and gentlemen, the rebels have arrived at the meadow outside the city!"
The officials all stuck their heads out to look at the meadow, and sure enough, a group of people who were black and red (because they wore iron helmets and red clothes) could not see the end of the day. There was also a large flag on the water's edge with a red background on the front carriage, which was a little far away, and it was impossible to see what was written on it.
"What to do! What can I do? β
"Lord Qiu, Lord Qin, hurry up and get an idea!"
Qiu Chengyun looked worriedly at the rebels who were getting closer and closer, and hesitated without speaking.
Qin Kui saw that Qiu Chengyun didn't speak, and he simply pretended to be deaf and dumb.
In the blink of an eye, the rebels were already under the city, the city gate was closed, and the soldiers on the city wall were all on standby, charging their bows and arrows and fire guns at the city, and the gunners of the red-coated cannons were also ready to reload and ignite.
The rebels also formed an arc formation seventy paces away, with all kinds of weapons facing the city gate tower. Especially in front of the red-coated cannons, there are fifty or sixty of them. Qin Xiao felt that these cannons were enough to turn all the people on the city gate tower into ashes, and there was not even scum left.
Tusi Yuming rode in the center of the battle, and nine heavy cavalry surrounded him in a circle. He did not wear armor, but wore a military general's uniform with a three-grade leopard print. Luxury Ming is forty-five years old, with a big round face, Qin Xiao has seen him a few times before, and he has a very good personal relationship with Daddy.
"Old Qin! It's only been three years, and I see how you're still thin and your back is hunched! Hao Ming shouted to Qin Kui at the top of his voice.
Qin Kui also said loudly: "You extravagant, why do you want to have a good life, but you have to rebel!" Da Ming can treat you well! β
"My luxury family is entrusted by Emperor Yongle of Chengzu to guard Myanmar, and I am the sixth generation, and my old luxury family has never had a person who has two hearts for the Ming Dynasty!"
"You've rebelled, it's not called Erxin!"
Qin Xiao felt that Daddy was a bit of a "tiger", which pot was not opened.
Fortunately, Hao Ming was not angry: "I didn't rebel!" Look at the flag behind me! β
The black book on the banner: Avenge the son of the world and kill Yang Dog Yinglong.
Hao Ming said indignantly: "Yang Yinglong, the governor of Sichuan, raped my daughter-in-law and slaughtered my son!" I reported to the Holy Lord, but he turned around and insulted me for being disobedient and tried to arrest me in the capital and kill me, how could I sit still and wait for death! You say I'm a rebel, but look at the clothes on my body, and the soldiers and brothers in front of me and behind me, we are all wearing the crown of the Ming Dynasty! β
Sure enough, all the rebels, without exception, were wearing the costumes of the Ming Dynasty.
Qin Xiao clearly saw that Hao Ming shed tears of grief and indignation. Even Daddy's eyes turned red after reading it.
"Say that I rebelled, and you have seen a rebel who does not set himself up as king! Even if it is those stinky and shameless, what is the banner of the Qingjun side and the king of Qin, I don't want to do the thing of being a bitch and standing on my own chastity archway, and I don't have so much ambition! I raised the army this time to avenge my son! As long as I kill Yang Gou, I am willing to return to the field and be a farmer for a lifetime! β
Hao Ming wiped a handful of tears.
As the saying goes, talented people come out from generation to generation, and one generation is stronger than the next; No man shall be disguised, and no sea shall be measured. Qin Xiao really admired the Lord Tusi under the city, and lied to the point that even he couldn't extricate himself from it. However, it must not be exposed at the moment, because once it is exposed, waiting for Qin Xiao may be Lord Tusi's "cannon execution", which is a special treatment only available to uncle-level relatives in the family of our close comrades-in-arms in the 21st century, and Qin Xiao does not want to enjoy it.
Hao Ming continued to shout: "Old Qin, as long as you open the city gate and hand over the Tusi city defense to me, I guarantee that Qiu will not commit any crimes!" Your three thousand soldiers and horses go back to their own houses to eat and sleep! I've said everything I can, and I'll give you half an hour to decide whether to open the door or go to war! I'm an impatient! β
The stone pillar officials all brushed their eyes and stared at Qin Kui.
Qin Kui said: "If this Tusi City is still surnamed Ma, I will not fight his rebels to the end, but now...... Lord New Toast has run away, Lord Qiu is now the supreme governor here, so please ask Lord Qiu to decide. However, according to my understanding of Hao Ming, although he is a martial artist, he can do what he says, and he has not heard of murder and arson in the states and counties he occupies. I can guarantee that. β
"Lord Qiu!" Officials turned their attention to Qiu Chengyun again.
"Although I, Qiu Chengyun, will only serve as the supreme governor of the stone pillar for a while, I still promise you in the name of the supreme governor and my Qiu Chengyun's personality that in the future, as long as the imperial court blames us for not refusing to betray the enemy outside the gate, you will say that I, Qiu Chengyun, ordered the city gate to be opened! At that time, whether it is the punishment of the Nine Clans, or the execution of Ling Chi, it will all be borne by me, Qiu Chengyun! β
Lord Qiu said such a sentence that made the stone pillar officials fall to the ground, and Qin Xiao was also very awe-struck.
Lord Qiu is a civil official, born in the Wanli Dynasty, he was originally polite and polite, and he is also humble and gentlemanly when he speaks, and after saying this profound and righteous words, Qin Xiao feels that he is simply his "old male god".
This passage will become a stepping stone for Qiu Chengyun to rise to the top in the future.
It wasn't until a few years later, when Qin Xiao entered the picture, that he knew that his handsome gentleman "old male god" turned out to be the second black-hearted in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.
