Chapter 207: Into the City
At the end of August, Qian Xu led his troops into Lianshuo, and launched a fierce attack on the Jin army defending in the city of Lianshuo, and the war lasted for two days, and finally ended with the defeat of the Jin army and the capture of the Jin army.
Yes, Xianyu is a great victory.
Qian Xu, who successfully recovered the four cities, also became famous.
On the day when the army entered the city, the people of Lianshuo City in order to welcome Qian Xu's team, all of them rushed out of the house, in order to thank the soldiers for saving themselves from the murderous Jin army, the people took out the treasured old wine at home, in order to entertain the soldiers who were dusty, the crowd holding the wine bowl stretched all the way from the east of the city to the west of the city, and the scene looked very spectacular and lively.
However, three days before the limelight of triumph, a major event was inexplicably born, and the chief general of the Jin army, who was originally detained in Lianshuo Heavenly Prison, suddenly disappeared.
Although Qian Xu sent people to turn over Lianshuo City several times, the main general of the Jin army was as if the world was steamed, and he never saw any trace again.
As soon as the news of this matter came out, Dugu Ao immediately asked for a holy decree prepared in advance, and locked up Qian Xu on the charge of poor supervision, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
And with Qian Xu being imprisoned, Dugu Ao's subordinates naturally took over Qian Xu's soldiers and horses in the name of justice.
The successive changes in Lianshuo City really staged a good show for everyone.
However, Shen Xiao and I only arrived in Lianshuo City on the third day after this good show, and at this moment we were outside the gate of Lianshuo City, which was already under martial law.
"Stop! Who are you? Is there a warrant? ”
The soldiers guarding the gate of Lianshuo City with a calm face saw me and Shen Xiao coming over, and hurriedly held a scimitar to block our way.
I raised my eyelids slightly, glanced at Shen Xiao, who was dressed in a hat next to me at this time, and then turned my eyes to the soldier holding a scimitar and smiled, "This big brother, we are ordinary people, this time we came to Lianshuo to go to the city to find relatives, please be accommodating." ”
"Looking for relatives?" The guard showed a look of disdain on his face, and then said coldly, "Don't you know that something big happened to Lian Shuo?" Sensei said that you are here to find relatives now, even if your family lives here, as long as you don't have a warrant from our Lord Dugu, you don't want to go to the city. ”
Seeing his resolute attitude, I took out the money bag hidden in my sleeve and walked over and secretly stuffed it into the soldier's hand, "Brother Cha, we are really just ordinary people, you can let us in, right?" ”
The soldier looked down at the money bag in his hand, and immediately made a righteous and awe-inspiring look on his face, "Dare to openly bribe, you woman is really bold, is it ill-intentioned to say that you want to enter the city?" It seems that not only will I never let you into the city, but the stolen money will have to be disposed of as well. ”
After that, the soldier took the money bag into his arms in front of everyone, and finally even drew his scimitar and blocked it in front of me.
"Won't let me in after receiving the money? What is the rationale for this? Are all your hearts black? ”
I couldn't get angry, and my tone involuntarily became more intense.
When Shen Xiao saw it, he hurriedly pulled me back, and said to the soldiers guarding the door, "I'm really embarrassed, a few poor adults, my mother is really sick at home, and she needs to go into the city to find our relatives who are doctors in Lianshuo City, my sister is worried about her mother's body, and she will not choose to say anything when she is in a hurry, how strange are you!" ”
After speaking, Shen Xiao turned around and pulled me a little away from the soldiers, "Don't act rashly first, since Duguao has now put Lianshuo City under martial law, it means that the main general of the Jin army who escaped from the prison is still in the city, and if you have a head-on conflict with these people at this time, it is very likely that you will be regarded as an accomplice of the Jin army." ”
"So what are we going to do?"
I was worried, Shen Xiao suddenly smiled and said, "Have you forgotten the emperor's waist card that the second prince once handed you?" ”
"How do you know that?"
Obviously, only we know about Yin Linxi's waist card given to me.
Shen Xiao saw that I was puzzled, so he said directly, "Didn't you already guess it?" It was actually the idea of the second prince to stun you and then take you out of Jicheng, he was afraid that the emperor would harm you when he went on the expedition, so he specially found me and asked me to cooperate with him to act in front of the emperor to reduce the emperor's vigilance, but later the emperor sent a killer in order to do things absolutely well. ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly, "You're right, I really should have guessed a long time ago, but judging from the current situation, clearing the customs with the emperor's waist card will attract more people's attention, right?" This is extremely detrimental to us. ”
"You don't have to worry about that." Shen Xiao raised his hand and pressed the hat, approached me and whispered, "If you don't do anything, as long as you keep those people's eyes closed forever, you don't have to worry about things leaking out." ”
I know that there is no other way to do it now, if I want to find Yin Linxi, I can only do what Shen Xiao said.
So, I reached out and secretly touched the waist card hidden in my bosom, and was about to go to the city gate.
At this moment, a group of people who were supporting each other on the left and right suddenly rushed to the city gate before me.
The soldiers defending the city immediately made an impatient voice, "Go, this is not a place where you can ask for food, where should you go!" ”
Hearing him say this, some people among the people said with a crying voice, "Master Guan, just ask for it!" We came to Lianshuo from Qintong with great difficulty, everyone is for the job, please let us go, right? ”
"Qintong?" The face of the soldier defending the city changed, and he hurriedly exchanged ears with the side, "Isn't Qintong a plague area?" Last time, our people took over General Qian's team to garrison Qintong, and ten people died in one day, these people came from Qintong, they couldn't have been infected with the plague, right? ”
At the mention of this, the soldiers defending the city panicked, and looked at the group of miserable people in front of them who actually took out their scimitars, and said with fear on their faces, "You people who are not afraid of death, why don't you get out of here quickly?" Now that Lord Dugu is in Lianshuo City, how can you untouchables come if you want to? ”
"Master Guan, we really don't want to die! You can do it, please," the people stepped forward with tears in their voices.
When the soldiers defending the city saw this, they hurriedly retreated backwards as if avoiding ghosts and gods, and no one dared to joke with their lives.
The people knew that they were afraid of themselves, so they simply stopped pleading with them, but stepped forward with their arms in unison to break through the gates.
Fearing that their lives would be affected by the plague, the soldiers retreated step by step when they came forward with a strong force, and finally approached the city with their swords in a defensive posture.
"How unreasonable!"
Wonderful!
