Chapter 53 Into the City

Zhang Gouzi's words filled the house with silence.

"The Liang army and the Beiping army fought in the streets, and naturally there were dead people everywhere." After a while, Lu Feng pretended to be relaxed and said,

"Looking at the clothes, eight or nine of the ten who died were Liang Jun." Zhang Gouzi also hurriedly answered, Li Zongliang and the others did not answer, Li Xiaoqi turned his head to look at Li Zongliang and said: "Big brother, I want to go into the city to have a look, the commander of the Beiping Army lives in Wisteria Residence, and he can hear some letters." ”

"No! We'll talk about it in two days! Li Zongliang categorically refused: "The Beiping army occupies Zhengcheng, the overall situation has been decided, no matter what you inquire, you are not in a hurry at this time, wait for two or three days before entering the city." ”

Li Xiaoqi lowered his head and didn't speak again, what Li Zongliang said was that the Beiping army had just occupied Zhengcheng at this time, even if the flying pigeon passed the book, the pigeon had not yet flown into the Taiping Mansion, what she wanted to see was also the reaction and follow-up of the Taiping Mansion, whether Wu Guo would start a war with Beiping, fight and recapture Zhengcheng, or simply abandon Zhengcheng, even if it was given to Beiping? Or is there a way to buy back Zhengcheng or somethingβ€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’ and now it is useless to enter the city.

The next day, Zhang Gouzi rushed back to Zhengcheng first, and waited for three or four days, Zhengcheng's side became more and more calm and normal day by day, and early in the morning, Li Zonggui pushed Li Xiaoqi with a car, and Lu Feng and the three of them set off to Zhengcheng together.

The south gate of Zhengcheng is not far away, the big flag embroidered with the yellow word 'Chen' on the black background flutters in the wind, a few people don't dare to look more, just go to the south gate, the south gate, on the left and right sides, there are four or five black-armored soldiers like nails, people stand still, only their eyes turn, looking at the people who enter and go out of the city, the people who enter and go out of the city, one for half a day, the usual people come and go, bustling, and in a blink of an eye it has become a yellowed old past.

Entered the south gate, the street next to it looks passable, the house is complete, only the wall is on the road, there are black and purple stains everywhere, some places seem to have been washed hard, the purple and black pour faintly bright out, turn two streets, it is all changed, at a glance, the broken wall is ruined, a scorched black, occasionally someone in the scorched earth is numb looking for something, the corpse of the dead or something, can no longer be seen, the three of them went around to the back alley of Wisteria, this alley does not seem to have affected, and it is no different from the past, Li Xiaoqi was surprised and unexpected, and gave birth to infinite sadness.

The three of them cautiously opened the door and entered the courtyard, after Li Xiaoqi left, the shopkeeper Sun locked the courtyard door, Wisteria Curie, except for the shopkeeper Sun and others, the guys next to them thought that this courtyard was someone else's, and no one paid much attention to this small courtyard.

In the evening, the shopkeeper Sun held the bag to eat, from the back alley into the yard, now the wisteria house lives in the Beiping Army Chen Dashuai and the staff, the yard is full of guards, the small door that opened in the wisteria house has been sealed by the shopkeeper Sun overnight.

Sun's shopkeeper lost a lot of weight, but his spirit was good, a few people gathered in the room, and Sun's shopkeeper's voice was low: "β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’ is not bad, if there are no dead people, Lao Song got the letter that Yuan Dashuai abandoned the army and fled, and quickly fled to us with Yan Fuyin, who originally wanted to escape from the city, but it was too late, the Liang army entered the city like that, and did not find Yan Fuyin in the palace, killed a few officials, and burned the palace, and in the second half of the night, the Beiping army was killed, alas! There was chaos in the city. ”

These Li Xiaoqi already knew, but he didn't interrupt his words, only quietly listened to his sad nagging, the shopkeeper Sun raised his hand and wiped his dry eyes, and then said: "The Beiping army is powerful, there is no movement on the street at dawn, and then someone called An Min, looking for Yan Fu Yin everywhere, Lao Song went out to answer, I accompanied him, the Chen Dashuai of the Beiping Army, he was very polite, followed us here, saw Yan Fu Yin, let him come forward to calm the people, and let people help clean up those dead people, let people come in to save people, Later, Lao Song came to discuss with me, saying that Chen Dashuai and they have not found a place to live, we are the most suitable here, it is better to let Chen Dashuai live here for a while, I thought this is a good thing, so I agreed. ”

"What about Yan Mansion Yin and Master Song?" Li Xiaoqi hurriedly asked,

"The outermost two signing rooms of the government are fine, Lao Song accompanied Yan Fu Yin to move there, it's good to move there, I heard that the Qin Cha of Taiping Mansion will arrive in Zhengcheng in the past two days, Yuan Dashuai has no shadow, Zheng Cheng is lost, Yan Fu Yin can't get rid of it, when Qin Cha came, he lived in the broken ya, it was better than living in this wisteria house, this is the words of Lao Song." Shopkeeper Sun explained in a low voice, Li Xiaoqi nodded, this idiot Yan Fu Yin, the biggest blessing is to find such a good master as Master Song.

"Someone is coming to Taiping Mansion?" Li Xiaoqi asked in a low voice, "Who is here?" What to do? ”

"I knew that someone was coming, this was ordered by the gentleman surnamed Liang next to Chen Dashuai, and asked me to clean up the houses in the northwest corner, saying that the Qin mission of Taiping Mansion would arrive in two days, and it would be packed up for him to live in."

Surname Liang? Li Xiaoyi's heart jumped a few times, the surname of Beiping is Liang, she happens to know one! Li Xiaoqi bit his lip, was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Does Master Song know about this Qin Mission?" ”

"I don't know, when I delivered the meal at noon today, I asked him, and he didn't know that now he and Yan Fuyin's envoy were all instructed by Mr. Liang in Beiping Kingdom, saying that he had asked him to write a secret fold the first morning, pressed Yan Fuyin's handprint, and didn't say anything, just said that Zhengcheng is now occupied by the Beiping army, and Mr. Liang took it, and he didn't know where to send it." Shopkeeper Sun replied carefully.

While speaking, it was getting dark outside, and the shopkeeper Sun hurriedly stood up and said with a wry smile: "I have to go back quickly, now there is a curfew in this city, as soon as it gets dark, there are Beiping troops patrolling around in all streets and alleys. ”

Li Xiaoqi sent Sun Shopkeeper out of the door, the three of them slowly ate something, Li Xiaoqi said in a low voice: "Find a chance tomorrow to see the surname Liang, the second prince of Beiping Guo Su Zicheng has a right-hand man next to him, also surnamed Liang, last year when Su Zicheng went to Taiping Mansion to marry Princess Funing, the surname Liang went to Changfeng Building to eat, I have seen him, if it is really him, I am afraid that Beiping Guo has already planned for this Zheng Cheng." ”

Lu Feng looked at Li Xiaoqi in surprise: "Are you from Taiping Mansion?" ”

Li Xiaoqi ignored Lu Feng's curiosity, Li Zonggui wrinkled his brows, looked at Li Xiaoqi, and asked worriedly: "Will the person surnamed Liang recognize you?" ”

"Yes! He recognized me at a glance! Li Xiaoqi replied affirmatively, Lu Feng looked Li Xiaoqi up and down, and laughed: "I can recognize it at a glance if I change it, your eyes are too good!" If you dress up well, don't have so many bad ideas, don't fight and kill at every turn, but you are also a pink beauty. ”

Half of the steamed bun in Li Xiaoyi's hand smashed into Lu Feng's face, Lu Feng reached out and grabbed the steamed bun, shook his head and sighed: "Tut, look at you, with this temper, who dares to marry you?" You're just waiting to be an old girl! ”

Li Xiaoqi gritted his teeth with hatred, no longer paid attention to him, turned his head to look at Li Zonggui and said: "Brother Guizi, let's talk about our business, this courtyard is too close to the wisteria residence, adjacent to each other on both sides, we live here, we must not be able to hide the wisteria residence, it is better to live in the bright light, this house is the deed you came forward to do, you come forward, what to do, I and Lu Feng can just hide." ”

"This is the right principle, the more righteous and bright, the less suspicious people are." Lu Feng's Li Xiaoqi had nothing to say, he was in a good mood, and he was busy laughing and echoing, Li Zonggui thought about it carefully, nodded with a smile, and several people lit the lamp, Li Zonggui went in and out, and made fires, boiled water, and cleaned up like everyone else.

After a while, the door was knocked hard, Li Xiaoqi and Lu Feng hurriedly hid in the wall of the inner room, Li Zonggui opened the door with a broom, and a small leader of the Beiping Army in black clothes and black armor with a few soldiers bowed his hand politely: "Little brother is the owner of this courtyard?" What is the last name called? Where are the people? The other day this courtyard seemed to be empty. ”

"Back to the military master, the small is the owner of this yard, surnamed Mu, Mu Dagui, the hometown is a small Zhang Zhai in the north of Zhengcheng, and then what a wilderness, he fled to the city to buy this house, and then the city was chaotic, the small one sent his parents and family to the uncle's house in Hexian County, the day before yesterday I heard that the soldiers had retired, I didn't worry about the family, hurry back to see." Li Zonggui honestly asked and answered, the little leader nodded with satisfaction, and looked in from Li Zonggui's shoulder: "Your courtyard is close to our adult's residence, we have to go in and have a look." ”

Li Zonggui hurriedly stepped aside, shrunk timidly aside, the little leader came in with people, walked around, took people out of the courtyard, stretched out his hand and patted Li Zonggui's shoulder: "Don't be afraid, our Beiping Army is the most disciplined, it's okay, your courtyard is close to our adults' residences, don't let outsiders in easily, do you hear?" Don't let people be deceived in vain, you have been affected, and besides, this yard can't be rented out, do you hear? ”

"I heard it, I heard it, how can anyone still rent a house in this city?!" Li Zonggui agreed with a wry smile, and the little leader also laughed: "It's the same, okay, brother is busy." ”

Saying that, he waved his hand to collect the team and went back, Li Zonggui closed the door, watched a group of people turn around the corner of the alley from the crack in the door, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and turned back to let Li Xiaoqi and Lu Feng out.

For two days, Li Xiaoqi didn't find a suitable opportunity to see if this Mr. Liang was Mr. Bi Liang, but the Qin Cha of Taiping Mansion entered Zhengcheng.

Qin cha surnamed Fang, all the way to Zhengcheng, got off the horse, and couldn't even walk the road, along the way, changing horses without changing people, and tired a pampered adult to be inhuman. Master Song was busy boiling hot water, a few little servants waited for Lord Fang to take off his clothes, Lord Fang's inner thighs were already flesh and blood, Mr. Liang sent the best gold sore medicine, and the little servants waited for Lord Fang to take the medicine, Mr. Liang asked people to pass the word, let Lord Fang rest for one night, and meet again tomorrow to talk about business.
