Chapter 167: Soldiers Descend on the City
In addition to celebrating the New Year, there is also an important thing, the handsome Fu Yanjin wants to get married, and I heard that he will marry two at once.
Xue Xuan's cruel torture and killing of Lin Gang made all the women in the backyard avoid her like a snake and scorpion, and even the He family didn't trouble him anymore, Yan Yu also moved out of the Drifting Snow Courtyard, and now the only one who can talk to her is the fifth aunt.
Xue Mo has never made up her mind to take the child away, she is a little naΓ―ve to hope for a miracle, this child is the only connection between her and Helian Yao, and the only thing she can do for Helian Yao, she wants to stay and protect her with all her strength.
The wedding date is approaching day by day, and Xue Wei is desperate day by day, is she really going to marry Fu Yanjin? Will she finally break her promise to marry someone else?
Fu Yanjin stayed at Yan Yu's place every day these days, Xue Xuan's deal with Lin Gang really annoyed him, and he deliberately snubbed her to teach her a lesson. You must know that the line between her and Helian Yao is really broken, and he also got the news that Helian Yao has been seriously ill, and it is estimated that she was hurt a lot this time, Yin Xuewei has no maintenance from Helian Yao, what is she left with? Even if she has a little furniture, she will hold it in her own hands, and she will be Mrs. Fu obediently in the future, and no one will want her again.
And for a woman, what she is most afraid of is losing her husband's favor, he deliberately treats Yan Yu well, just to let her know that the current Fu Yanjin is not indispensable to her.
This man is so cheap, he tries his best to get it when he can't get it, and he doesn't cherish it when he gets it.
Xue Wei didn't want to see Fu Yanjin even more afraid that he would touch her, if she really wanted to get married, then she would rather be an abandoned woman.
The day set was the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, and on this day the girl sent a wedding dress, which was rare, and He also came.
She didn't dare to enter the house, as if Xue Mo had a virus on her. "Yin Xuewei, I sent you the clothes, but there is one thing I want to tell you, you and Yu'er are both concubines."
Xue Mo raised her eyebrows, she had long known that the identity of the Fu family's housewife would not be given to her so easily, but at the last moment, Fu Yanjin also agreed, which was funny, and what about the beginning of the vow?
But Xue Mo doesn't care, she just wants to protect the child now, and nothing else has anything to do with her.
Soon after He left, Fu Yanjin also came.
On this day, the snow courtyard, which has not been seen for a long time, is so lively, and Xue Mo is surprised.
After pouring the tea, she sat opposite Fu Yanjin with a smile. "Dashuai, tomorrow is a happy day, doesn't this old rule say that newcomers can't meet? Doesn't the handsome man treat me as a newcomer? β
Fu Yanjin pinched the teacup, and her eyes, which had been gentle and affectionate, were shining with cold light at this time, "You don't seem to want to marry me?" β
"How dare I! Da Shuai drinks tea. β
"Xue Li!" Fu Yanjin suddenly called her, "Can we not be as good as an enemy?" β
Xue Wei's fingers froze, and her long eyelashes blocked her eyes and she couldn't see her emotions, but when she raised her head, she smiled, "Dashuai, where is it?" β
"Since Lin Gang's death, you have been angry with me, are you hating me?"
Xue Mo put down the teacup gently, she lowered her eyes and looked at the scarlet charcoal, her eyes seemed to be watery, "Senior Zhong Lin, since ancient times, you can't have both beauties and beauties, since you want to be the overlord, why do you care what others think of you?" After all, I am a grass that goes with the flow, and what else do you need from me to keep to yourself? β
"Yin Xuewei, don't go too far!" He suddenly overturned the tea tray in front of him, and a cup of hot tea splashed on Xue Wei's hand.
She hid her hands in her sleeves without a trace, she had now learned to endure and hide, she no longer complained to anyone, and there was absolutely no one here who could listen to her complaints. If the pain is manifested, it can only make the haters happy.
She couldn't sleep peacefully after a long night, and tomorrow, where will her life be?
At this time, she was not the only one who couldn't sleep, and in the barracks a hundred miles away, Helian Yao looked at Leng Lengyue and his eyes became more and more incomprehensible.
Lan Zichu took a big coat and put it on him, "Young marshal, it's cold in the middle of the night, you are newly recovered from a serious illness, why don't you go and rest?" β
"How's the preparation?"
"Everything is safe, the lines in the city are also well arranged, and last time Adjutant Zhang confessed himself and did not leak the line we buried."
"Yun Ming still has no news?"
Lan Zichu shook his head, "Stone sinks into the sea, will he?" β
"No, Yun Mingwu is not as good as Sanbao, and Wen is not as good as you, but you are not as good as him in the market drilling camp, I believe that he will be able to save the day, I Helian Yao is waiting for him."
"Borrow the young marshal's auspicious words. By the way, the informant in the city came back with the news, and they found a person in the city, Chen Yifeng. β
Helian Yao frowned, "It turns out that he is hiding here." β
"Yes, at that time, the people of the Heavenly Maiden Society robbed him, and this guy actually hid in Fu Yanjin's aunt Fu Mingzhu's mansion as a housekeeper, so I suspect that the Fu family and the Heavenly Maiden will have a connection, and the lady is also ...... in Fu Yanjin's hands."
"Shut up, Hugh is going to mention that woman to me."
Lan Zichu didn't dare to talk again, he stood silently, listening to the surging voice.
The sky gradually revealed a little crab shell blue, and the lonely moon was also hidden in the clouds, Helian Yao looked at the east and hooked the corners of his mouth, "Lan Zi is out, the order is passed, the whole army advances to Jinzhou City, it is eight o'clock, the three armies will attack together, I want to send Fu Yanjin a wedding gift." β
At this time, Xue Wei has already put on her wedding dress, her life is so funny, she has worn the wedding dress twice, but it is not for the man she loves, and it is not her who wears the wedding dress when Helian Yao marries his wife, it seems that the two of them are really destined to have a deep relationship.
The maid looked at the bright red Xue Mo and admired sincerely, "Girl, you are so beautiful today." β
Xue Mo smiled, she gently stroked the flat belly under the loose wedding dress, this child is three months old, although it is said that all kinds of bad, but tenaciously survived in her belly, she should be a mother to protect him.
"Girl, the auspicious time is coming, let's go and wait in front."
Although they are all concubines, Yan Yu married from Fu Mingzhu's house, and Xue Xue waited directly at home, this unfair treatment can be seen, fortunately, Xue Xue didn't care, and asked her to go to Fu Mingzhu's house, it was better to stay in Piaoxue Courtyard honestly.
There was a lively scene outside, although the marshal's mansion was full of friends, although it was a concubine, Xue Wei stayed in a small room. Wait quietly.
There was no girl in the house, they all went outside to help, she touched her stomach and whispered, "Baby, mom hopes that you are a boy, in this world, although mom struggles in every way and doesn't want to take the old path of traditional women, but women are weak and bullying after all, I hope you will be tenacious in the future, and be a real man like your father." β
The noise outside was even louder, and the shouting was at this time, and it turned out to be Yan Yu's sedan chair.
Shellfish stood up. Even if she is an actor today, she should act dutifully and well, and she can't let Fu Yanjin find a little fault.
She went out from the window just in time to see the person who gave the bridal, and heard that it was Fu Mingzhu's housekeeper who gave Yan Yu, she had a little impression of this person, and felt that his back was familiar, so she couldn't help but look more carefully this time.
The man followed behind the bride with a small head on his head, and he was wearing a new coat, but he was not ugly, and he looked ...... The man suddenly turned his head, and Xue Mo looked at him, and Xue Wei was so shocked that her fingers stiffened. Chen Yifeng!
Chen Yifeng couldn't see her, and followed the team proudly, plucking his little head from time to time, and when he opened his mouth, his front teeth were silver.
He must know himself, no wonder Fu Mingzhu targets him everywhere, it is estimated that it has something to do with him, but why hasn't this scumbag died and appeared here?
A woman came in and interrupted her, and pulled her rudely, 'Why are you still here, you are going to worship.' β
Xue Xue struggled, "You slow down." β
"Slow, slow? Can you afford to pay if you delay the auspicious time? β
Xue Mo didn't dare to struggle for fear of hurting the child, and pushed it to Xitang.
At this time. Fu Yanjin, who was dressed in military uniform, was holding Yan Yu's hand and walked in, he glanced at Xue Xu, who was waiting next to him covered with a red turban, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.
No matter what, he got his wish, and sure enough, those warm methods didn't work, and if you want to get this thorny woman, you should be tougher.
Xi Po handed the red ribbon holding the flower ball in Xue Li's hand to Fu Yanjin, and then heard the master of ceremonies shouting: "Worship heaven and earth!" β
The emcee's voice was very melodious, and as soon as he finished shouting, suddenly a cannon rang out, and he felt that the marshal's mansion was shaking.
Everyone looked outside and whispered, "What's going on, firing a cannon to celebrate?" β
Fu Yanjin immediately raised his vigilance. He didn't let people fire cannons, where did this sound come from?
Before he could get an answer, the second and third voices followed, and the rumbling sound wanted to raze the entire Jinzhou City to the ground, and at this time, he thought it was a salute, and Fu Yanjin was an idiot.
At this time, the communication soldiers rushed in, and as soon as they entered the door, their heads touched the ground, "Big, handsome, it's not good, Helian Yao led the army to attack my Yunzhou City by Jinhua, and now several counties along the way have been lost." Their cannons were less than fifty miles from us. β
"What?" Fu Yanjin shook off the flower ball in his hand and grabbed the collar of the communications soldier.
Xue Xue ripped off the red turban, and now she got two pieces of information, the first is that Helian Yao is fine, and the second is that Helian Yao is attacking Jinju.
Beforehand, Fu Yanjin's people didn't get any signs that Helian Yao was going to use troops, because of his wedding, all the generals came to attend the wedding, and it can be said that they really caught people off guard.
To fight a war, they need to send troops to supply food and grass, but now they are not prepared at all in the winter.
An officer asked, "Helian Yao Fengping suffered heavy losses in the first battle, what did he use to attack our Jinju?" β
The signal corpsman said, "I don't know. But according to the information he received, he led at least a hundred thousand people. β
"Fuck off, go and give me an accurate number, what are you guys of garbage for?"
The dignitaries and dignitaries who attended the wedding were all silent when they heard that there was going to be a war, and some people said from time to time: "Dashuai, hurry up and send someone to negotiate peace, this is going to be a big New Year, and there is nothing to do." β
Yes, it's a big New Year, according to the tradition of the Celestial Empire, whether you have money or not, you have to celebrate the New Year, this year is a big thing, but Helian Yao is unruly, and he came to attack when there are still three days left before the New Year, isn't this guy New Year?
The current Fu family army, some generals have gone home for the New Year, and those in the camp are also disheartened and homesick, at this time Helian Yao attacked, did he really want to raze Jinzhou to the ground?
Throwing the big red flower on his body, Fu Yanjin shouted: "Fu Jiajun listens to the order and goes to the conference hall to discuss matters." β
The person is gone, the wedding is gone, He Shi sat on the high hall and suddenly saw Yin Xuexuan, she couldn't help but have a cold light in her eyes, this woman is really a scourge, she hasn't entered the door yet, and the disaster is coming!
After the wedding was dispersed, everything became a soldier, Xue Wei returned to the Drifting Snow Courtyard, she was very worried in her heart, if this battle started, she just took advantage of the chaos to escape, if Fu Yanjin lost, the first person to get angry would definitely be her, she couldn't sit here and wait.
Although he was caught off guard, Fu Yanjin still didn't take Helian Yao's attack to heart, after all, he was tired from a long distance and was still in the winter when there was no grass, he only had to fight quickly, otherwise he would definitely drag himself to death, since he came to find death, he would be eliminated in one fell swoop, and Helian Yao in the province was as annoying as a mouse.
However, he miscalculated.
Helian Yao's army was far more right than he imagined, Jinhua's Jin Datou, the old horseman, was obviously the master who didn't rely on anyone, and this time he actually gave his own soldiers to Helian Yao, and the 50,000 army was all German weapons, led by Helian Yao to attack the front; The south and north are clearly the army led by Qi Sanbao and Lan Zichu, and Qi Sanbao doesn't know where to get a team without military uniforms, led by a woman, the woman has a long whip in one hand and a gun in the other, killing people is the same as chopping melons and vegetables; And Lan Zi, who seems to be the most weak, has a military general here, so he is responsible for coming up with bad ideas, making a gunpowder attack today and tomorrow, and dying people into pieces.
At this time, the Helian army was like the revenge army from hell, and the morale was high and invincible, not to mention that the defense of the city exhausted people's food and grass, and I was afraid that the city would be destroyed before that day.
Fu Yanjin was born as a scholar in the end, and he has very little actual combat experience, so he has nothing to do with Helian Yao. After two frontal battles, he was defeated, killing several generals, and he was also wounded by stray bullets.
At present, there are two factions in Jinju City, one faction wants peace talks and the other faction wants to continue fighting, Fu Yanjin advocates continuing to fight, but a bunch of old things are all advocating peace talks. Return the seal.
This is too wretched, Fu Yanjin is unwilling to accept it, he sent a telegram to the president to ask for reinforcements, but he got a hasty reply, asking him to hold on for a few days and talk about it after the New Year.
It was supposed to be the Spring Festival for every household to make dumplings, but everyone was in danger, but it was only three days, Helian Yao's soldiers came to the city, and from time to time artillery attacks, whether it was a military yamen or a civilian residence, they were bombed, and they were miserable.
But this is war, the last time Fengping was occupied, it was robbed and slaughtered by warlords from all walks of life, war, whether it is just or unjust, it is always ordinary people who suffer.
He is advocating peace talks, many people have come to her and asked her to persuade Fu Yanjin not to go on her own way, He also talked to her son several times but Fu Yanjin did not listen, she is the same as these people in her heart, she is used to living a life of fine clothes and food, she is afraid of enduring hardship and displacement.
On this day, Fu Mingzhu came to her again.
He Shitui said that his leg hurt and lay on the kang, and when he saw Fu Mingzhu, he said lazily: "Are you also here to ask me to persuade Zhong Lin?" I'm telling you, it's useless. β
Fu Mingzhu didn't bomb like usual this time, she sat down on the chair, picked up He's scriptures and looked at them, "Sister-in-law, is it time to be angry?" If Jinju is really breached, then the fate of Feng Pinghelian and his wife will be us. β
He Shi gasped, "No, the president will send troops." β
"You're too naΓ―ve, it's so messy now, who can be good for whom, it's all up to the gun."
"So what do you say? Zhong Lin refused to negotiate peacefully, what can we do about women. β
Fu Mingzhu touched the diamond ring on his finger, "Well, it really depends on you, sister-in-law, but there is a risk in this, Zhong Lin will be angry when he knows it, do you dare?" β
He frowned, "What do you want to do?" β
"It's not me, it's us. Sister-in-law, do you know who caused this war? β
"Not that slut yet." He gritted his teeth and refused to admit that her son broke other people's cities first and robbed other people's wives first, but blindly blamed Xue Wei.
"That's right, as long as we tie up that slut and take him to the city tower, can Helian Yao still make peace with us?"
He Shi thought so, but at the same time worried, "But Zhong Lin is ......"
"I'll do the kidnapping thing, but Zhong Lin needs your sister-in-law to take action, just give him some medicine to stun for a while."
He Shi was still not at ease, "But what if Zhong Lin is to blame?" β
"You're, what can he do? Besides, this is also for the good of Jinju City, you can't just ruin your family for such a woman, so sister-in-law, what kind of face do you have to meet my eldest brother? β
He Shi moved, she thought about it and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you." β
Xue Mo opened her eyes and found herself in a dark room, tied up all over her body.
The plethora of encounters didn't make her afraid of chaos, she recalled. Before he fainted, he was in his own house in Piaoxue Courtyard, and the girl brought a bowl of chicken soup, and after drinking it, he felt very sleepy, and when he woke up, he was already tied up.
Who tied her up and what was she going to do?
Xue Wei guessed that the He gang had recently made a lot of trouble with the peace negotiation faction represented by her, probably because they wanted to tie themselves up as bargaining chips.
She smiled bitterly, Helian Yao hates herself to death now, I am afraid that she will reward herself with a bullet as soon as they meet, and it is estimated that their plan will fail.
Footsteps rang out outside, followed by the door babbling and being pushed open.
The bright line expanded, making Xue Wei's squinted eyes slowly relax, looking at the man opposite, she narrowed her eyes again, "It's you." β
"It's me, Xue Wei, I didn't expect us to meet again."
It was Chen Yifeng, only to find that his chin was very smooth, and the skin on his face was also very delicate, a little like the eunuchs in the palace before, and even his voice was much sharper.
It turned out that Chen Yifeng tied Qi Sanbao that time was completely broken, and now his thing is just a decoration and has lost its substantive role.
Xue Wei sneered. "Chen Yifeng, you are also a young master, when did you become a dog for others?"
Chen Yifeng smiled sinisterly, his heart changed, and even his appearance was no longer as handsome as before, but he was as vicious and disgusting as a cobra, "Why can't you eat meat, besides, I don't have it today because of your eldest lady?" β
Xue Mo subconsciously shrunk her abdomen, fortunately the news of her pregnancy did not spread, otherwise she was really afraid that he would hurt her child.
"Chen Yifeng, I persuade you to let me go. Otherwise, Fu Yanjin won't let you go. β
Chen Yifeng arrogantly pulled out the dagger of Xue Liang, "Miss Yin, who are you scaring about, your handsome man is sleeping in Yan Yu's little girl's arms now, he also likes tender, you are a broken flower and a willow, no one is rare." β
"What are you going to do?" Looking at the knife in Chen Yifeng's hand, Xue Yi was afraid.
"What? You asked Helian Yao to cut off Yin Jinse's finger, although I don't like her, but it's my wife, I will also cut off your finger and avenge her. β
"You dare!" Xue Wei gritted her teeth. Chen Yifeng is a madman, I'm afraid he really dares.
Sure enough, he smirked, "Do you dare to come and take a look, tsk, this little finger, what do you say would happen if Helian Yao saw it?" β
He had just grabbed Xue Wei's fingers, and suddenly the fifth aunt pushed the door in, "Steward Chen, Mrs. asked you to go, and said that she had something to command." β
Chen Yifeng regretted dying, if it weren't for his nonsense. At this time, Xue Wei's fingers had been broken, and now he didn't dare to do it again in front of the fifth aunt.
He snorted fiercely, "You're cheap." β
After Chen Yifeng left, the fifth aunt came over and asked Xue Wei, "Are you okay?" β
Xue Mo smiled, "I'm fine." β
She touched Xue Li's clothes, "Dressed so thinly, come, put this on." Xue Wei, I'm sorry, I didn't dare to let you go, so I can only help you get here. β
"Thank you, Aunt Grandma. If it weren't for you, Chen Yifeng, you would have cut off my fingers, thank you. β
After Chen Yifeng came back, she put a black hood on Xue Mo and brought it to the city tower, although she put on a cloak, she still shivered when the cold wind blew.
Chen Yifeng took off Xue Li's hood and asked people to shout to the people trapped under the city tower, "Look who this is, we have to talk to your Young Marshal Helian." β
The person downstairs in the city was Xiao Wuye, she was wearing a man's clothes, her braids were coiled in her hat, she took a sip of the kettle burning knife in her hand, and then asked the soldiers beside her, "Go and ask your Qi regiment commander." What are they doing with a girl going up to the city tower, it's quite handsome. β
Qi Sanbao saw it from afar, and he patted his thigh, "Fu Yanjin is a deflated calf, and he has no ability, so he pushed the woman up, and hurriedly went to report to the young marshal, saying that the lady was on the city tower." β
The repeated reports had already arrived in the big tent, Helian Yao was carrying a cigar and a blue zi, and when he heard the word madam, he hooked his lips and sneered, "Where did Madame come from, a woman who betrayed me." β
Chen Yifeng held the whip in his hand, and because he didn't get a response for a long time, he whipped it on Xue Wei's back, "Look at it downstairs, if no one comes out again, we can beat this woman to death." β
Xiao Wu threw the wine jug fiercely, picked up the spear and was about to aim, "Grandma, what kind of ability is it to bully a woman, Lao Tzu will abolish you today." β
Qi Sanbao held her arm, "Don't act rashly, it will hurt Madame." β
"She is the woman who Helian Yao read when he was about to burn to death? What is it called raw snow. β
"It's Xue Wei, who tells you to read more, and you have no culture."
"Hey, little third son, you dare to laugh at me, don't you go to the house for three days."
They were making a fuss, and there was another whip upstairs, "No one cares, we really beat her to death." β
"You don't need to fight," a deep male voice was raised, followed by a handsome and upright man riding a horse appeared under the city tower, he snatched the spear in Xiao Wu's hand, and aimed it at Xue Wei's heart, "I personally killed her!" β
