Li Xiaoqi squatted on the ground, and was about to look through those things, when Jiang Shuncai hurriedly ran into the courtyard and shouted, "Zhengcheng is on fire!" It's all smoke! A few people were frightened, and hurriedly ran to the top of the back cliff, Li Xiaoqi stood up, ran to the door of the house and paused, called Zhao Wuge to come over, put the things on the ground into the baggage, and carried the things into his house to lock them, before running out and running to the top of the mountain.

Far away, in the direction of Zhengcheng, a pillar of thick black smoke rose straight up, connected to the white clouds in the sky, spreading the gloom and sadness, several people looked at the black smoke in a daze, Mrs. Sun cried out 'wow', Li Xiaoqi turned her head to look at Sister Zhang and commanded in a low voice: "Help her go back, persuade her, what are you crying about?" Wisteria has a cellar, is not afraid of fire, and thinks about the good in everything! ”

Sister Zhang nodded again and again, Zhang Tiemu hurriedly stepped forward in two steps, wanting to help Mrs. Sun, but her hand stretched out but retracted back, tied her hands, and protected Mrs. Sun and Sister Zhang to go down the mountain, Li Xiaoqi didn't bother to pay attention to these little things, stared at Zheng Cheng in the distance for a while, turned around and went down the mountain, she still hurried back to check Yuan Dashuai's luggage, to see if she could find anything useful.

Several people went down the mountain one after another with a heavy heart, Li Xiaomi's hands and feet were extremely fast, and he had almost finished turning over Yuan Dashuai's luggage, and there was a lot of money such as silver tickets and small gold cakes, and there were no useful things such as letters that Li Xiaoqi was looking for, but there was no one, Li Xiaoqi even opened the corners of his clothes and the interlayer of his baggage, but he still didn't, so he had to get up in disappointment and hand over valuable things such as silver tickets and small gold cakes to Li Zonggui, and other things such as waist cards, tokens, and clothes that were scratched by her with holes everywhere, Wrap it up and hand it to Li Erhuai, let him smash it and burn it, this thing can't leave a single star, if it is lost, it will be a big disaster.

Li Xiaoqi discussed with Li Zongliang, Wei Shuisheng and others, lifted Yuan Dashuai into an empty room, closed the door, Li Erhuai was guarding at the door, Lu Feng carried a bucket of cold water and splashed it on Yuan Dashuai's head, Yuan Dashuai opened his eyes with a cold smile, and looked around calmly, Li Zongliang and others stood behind the screen, Li Xiaoqi stared at Yuan Dashuai through the gap in the screen for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Isn't Yuan Dashuai going to sacrifice his life for the country, why did he come here?" ”

Yuan Dashuai kept shivering, stared at the screen and asked in a dumb voice, "Who are you?" ”

"When did you abandon the army and escape? After you are gone, who will lead the army? Zheng Cheng is besieged, you know? ”

Lu Feng flicked the scimitar in his hand lightly, the nails and blades touched lightly, making a very light and brittle sound, Yuan Dashuai winced and glanced at the smiling Lu Feng and the cold scimitar in Lu Feng's hand, swallowed his saliva, and replied in a low voice: "Yesterday, the camp that fell in darkness, the army has been exhausted, there are few people, they all sacrificed their lives for the country, I was the last to withdraw, I had to withdraw, surrounded by the Liang army, I wanted to commit suicide several times, but I was desperately stopped by my subordinates, so I had to go back to the Taiping Mansion to send a letter to the emperor and then receive death." ”

Li Xiaoqi couldn't cry or laugh, he was disgusting and didn't bother to pay attention to his shameless whitewashing, so he only asked: "You lost all the way, did the emperor's eldest son nod his head?" ”

Yuan Dashuai's chilling stopped suddenly, he raised his head violently, his eyes stared at the screen fiercely, Li Xiaoqi sighed secretly, in this strange battle, there is really something weird, and the reason for the collusion in the middle must be complicated, not something she can imagine. This purple flag turned into an apricot yellow flag and then a black flag, and I don't know who is the praying mantis, who is the yellow finch, and who is the cicada.

"Who are you going to give Zheng Cheng to?"

"I was defeated by all my might!" Yuan Dashuai replied forcefully, and Lu Feng raised his foot and kicked Yuan Dashuai's shoulder and scolded: "Fart!" Li Xiaoqi lowered his head and thought for a while, now that Zhengcheng has been lost, whether it falls into the hands of Liang Jun or Beiping, it doesn't seem to make a big difference to himself.

"The fall of Zhengcheng, you reported it to the emperor?"

"I'm just going back to Taiping Mansion to die!" Yuan Dashuai replied generously, Li Xiaoqi was angry and funny, and simply laughed: "Forget it, you are acting here, and there is no one to watch the play, what a waste!" Let me ask you, does the Taiping Mansion know about the siege and fall of Zhengcheng? Don't talk nonsense about leading to death, otherwise you will be allowed to receive it now. ”

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know." Lu Feng flicked the scimitar with his fingers, staring at Yuan Dashuai fiercely, Yuan Dashuai was shocked by Lu Feng, aiming at the knife light in Lu Feng's hand, and replied honestly, Li Xiaoqi hated the wrong teeth, this dog thing, the previous folds must be Spring and Autumn penmanship, although repeatedly defeated but repeatedly fought, this kind of thing, in addition to glory and wealth in the heart, what family and country people are all dung!

"Stun him!"

Lu Feng didn't wait for Yuan Dashuai to react, he stuned him with a palm, Li Xiaoqi turned out from behind the screen and kicked Yuan Dashuai a few times: "Lock him up in the cave in the backyard, lock him with an iron chain, lock it up first." ”

Lu Feng carried the knife, gestured between Yuan Dashuai's neck with the tip of the knife, looked at Li Xiaoqi with a twisted brow, raised his chin and said, "Forget it, there will be no future trouble." ”

"Shut it up first, let's see, maybe I'll ask him later." Li Xiaoqi didn't pay much attention to Lu Feng, went out and called Jiang Shun to come in, and solemnly ordered: "Lock him in the backyard cave, remember, one, from today on, the backyard cave will be managed by you and Brother Zhao, just the two of you take turns to bring him food, just send one meal a day, two, you are not allowed to talk to him, and you are not allowed to mention the matter of the backyard cave to anyone." ”

Jiang Shuncai simply agreed, called Zhao Wuge in, and the two carried Yuan Dashuai to the cave in the backyard.

In the evening, Li Xiaoqi climbed to the top of the back cliff mountain, looking at Zheng Cheng from afar, the thick black smoke had dissipated, Zheng Cheng in the distance was as quiet as usual, and the black flag outside the city was still the same, and I didn't know what happened to Shopkeeper Sun and Zhang Gouzi, if she couldn't come back alive•••••• alas, it was all her fault.

Early the next morning, Zhang Zonggui took Jiang Shuncai down the mountain again, walked more than ten miles in the direction of Zhengcheng, and when he reached the end of the woods, he didn't dare to go any further.

In the evening, Zhang Gouzi returned to the mountain, Li Zongliang and others were overjoyed, Li Xiaoqi looked at Zhang Gouzi carefully, the person lost a whole circle, but the spirit was excellent, Zhang Gouzi circled around and saw the ceremony, was about to speak, Mrs. Sun rushed in, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly signaled Zhang Gouzi to answer Mrs. Sun's words first, Zhang Gouzi did not wait for Mrs. Sun to speak, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mrs. Sun is fine, bring words to let you rest assured." ”

Mrs. Sun was relieved in one breath, the person almost fell to the ground, and Sister Zhang, who followed closely, hurriedly stepped forward to support her, Li Xiaoqi smiled and stepped forward to help Mrs. Sun: "This time Sister Sun can settle down, Sister quickly go back and pack up Second Uncle Sun's cotton clothes, turn around and let people take them over, it's cold, don't let Second Uncle Sun freeze." ”

Mrs. Sun agreed with tears and laughter, and was busy going back to pack up her things with Sister Zhang.

Li Zongliang let everyone into the house and sat on the kang, Li Xiaoqi squeezed between Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng, Li Zonggui poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Zhang Gouzi, Zhang Gouzi drank it all in one gulp, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, looked at Li Xiaoqi and said: "Since the war, the city has not been peaceful, there are stragglers fleeing into the city every day, I don't know if it is a real injury or a fake injury, I eat and drink everywhere and rob things, and the officials in the government can't control it, so the shopkeeper Sun let the door close, and there is no business to do anyway." The day before yesterday, the fourth master and Lu Ye picked up Sister Zhang and the fifth brother and left for more than an hour, as soon as it was dark, Master Song took Master Yan to hold the fine soft, and fled to our shop, Master Song said, someone sent a message in front of him, Yuan Dashuai's army was defeated, all defeated, Yuan Dashuai didn't know whether he was dead, or escaped, anyway, there was no shadow, Liang Jun had already fought all the way, and the shopkeeper let Master Song and Lord Yan hide in the cellar first, and I and the shopkeeper took turns guarding outside, and it didn't take long for Liang Jun to enter the city, and there were torches everywhere, at first it was not bad, but I ran along the streets and alleys, killed our deserters when I saw them, did not break into the doors, did not burn and rob, but it was better than our deserters! ”

Lu Feng laughed out loud, Zhang Gouzi got off the kang, poured a cup of tea and drank it, looked at Lu Feng and said seriously: "It's really better than those deserters!" ”

"Then you say, ignore him!" Li Xiaoqi hurriedly signaled to Zhang Gouzi, Zhang Gouzi sat on the kang, and then said: "Who knows that before dawn, there will be a big mess outside, chaos can no longer be chaotic, this time it is all chaos, and it is murder and arson, and later I learned that the army of Beiping followed behind and also entered the city, and the chaos was like that, I and the shopkeeper did not dare to stay outside anymore, hid in the cellar and did not dare to come out, until the chaos of the day, since the middle of the night last year, the sound of killing outside is gone, the fire seems to have been extinguished at that time, this morning, we heard someone in the cellar beating the gong, Calling that the war is over, let everyone rest assured, the shopkeeper came out first to see the movement, and the streets were posted everywhere with the Beiping Army's security notices, saying that Beiping and Wu were in-laws, and the Beiping Army regarded the people of Wu as the people of Beiping, so that everyone could rest assured, and there were people looking for Yan Fuyin everywhere, and then it was Master Song who came out first to respond, and followed the commander of the Beiping Army who went to see him, and then later, Master Song took the commander and many people back to our Wisteria House. Now I live in our wisteria house. ”

"What's •••••• city like now?" Li Zonggui asked with concern.

"Alas! It's gone, there are dead people everywhere, blood everywhere, Liuyeer Tea House, that street, a street is burned, the government and the street in front of it are almost burned, there is blood everywhere, and several of the officials of the government have died, Master Song even used the tea doctor in our shop, Chen Dashuai, that is, the big marshal of the Beiping Army, surnamed Chen, sent people to help collect the corpses and put out the fire, there are dead people everywhere! Zhang Gouzi had a bitter face, and his heart was extremely cold.
