Chapter 19: Sabre-rattling
Obviously, Taishou is a kind of mentality to watch the excitement, it seems that this kind of thing has been expected by Taishou, and watching the development of things is to let Li Xiangfeng know how many catties he can weigh.
"Ding Liang, why are you slaughtering these victims?" Li Xiangfeng directly opened his mouth to call the name of the garrison, ignoring the fact that he was too guarded and said cool words in a yin and yang tone.
The garrison is also regarded as a party member, and the safety of a city is guarded, especially in a border town like this, its importance is self-evident.
Directly calling himself by his name in front of so many of his subordinates, although the other party's identity is a messenger, but even this makes the garrison feel somewhat displeased.
"Lord Li, there were less than 50,000 victims outside the city, but now you have raised more than 140,000, plus the more than 100,000 civilians in the city!"
The tiger's eyes were round, and his right hand pointed directly at Li Xiangfeng and said sharply: "The lord has raised these more than 300,000 civilians into a mob in my Beiyang City, what is the intention of the lord?"
This inquiry is a heart-wrenching question!
Ping!
Chill out!
Yu Yan drew his long sword, pointed directly at the garrison, and shouted coldly: "Open the river!"
锵~锵~锵~锵~!
The adjutant guarding the city and many of his own soldiers drew their weapons one after another, staring at the every move of Yu Yan and Li Xiangfeng, the two lords, with an angry face.
These people knew that Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan were Qincha sent by the emperor, but in this Beiyang City, these personal soldiers and adjutants guarding the city were all direct subordinates cultivated by Ding Liang.
"Ding Liang, do you want to rebel?" Li Xiangfeng knew that this would not scare Ding Liang, but he still roared out, but he didn't expect Ding Liang to laugh out loud.
"Hahahaha!" Ding Liang laughed insolently, his voice was very pleasant, and then his tone plummeted, his eyes were like torches, and he stared at Li Xiangfeng and said, "I think the two lords want to rebel!"
This sound seemed to be a code, and the surrounding soldiers aimed their long soldiers at Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan.
On the arrow tower, the archer's arrows glowing with cold light were facing the chests of Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan, concentrating and holding their breath to guard every move below.
Listening intently to the orders from the garrison, he was ready to shoot the two adults below the arrow tower into hedgehogs.
A tense showdown is about to erupt!
At this moment, the wind rose in the sky, and the thunder rolled!
The tense nerves of the soldiers of Beiyang City had reached a critical point, because everyone saw the huge and hideous monster.
Like a demon from defense, a blackened dragon soars from the sky above the side of the tower.
Roar, roar!
The sound of the dragon's groan, which hit the heart, resounded in the sky!
When he was young, another cyan celestial dragon came out when he heard the sound, and his huge head popped out, hovering and hissing over Beiyang City with the black dragon.
The soldiers of Beiyang City were like a drill.
Suddenly, dozens of shadows of various colors flew out from the Beiyang city wall.
More than 30 spirit beast knights broke through the sky, rode their spears upright, and aimed at the dragon in the sky, without fear!
As many as 200 flying cavalry burst out from the city walls and rushed into the sky in a torrent.
The neighing of giant eagles and the howling of griffins played a beautiful prelude to war in the sky.
Crunch, crunch, crunch!
The sound of machinery turning rang in Li Xiangfeng's ears.
Don't think about it! This is the sound of a large bed crossbow spinning, and the golden arrows that glow with golden light have been replaced
On the bed crossbow, aiming at the two dragons hovering in the sky, the bed crossbowman looked up at the dragon, his eyes kept turning back and forth with the dragon's body, and his hand kept moving the scale of the bed crossbow.
This time, Li Xiangfeng personally felt the strength of the garrisons of Beiyang City, and troops like Adjutant Zhang could only be patrols to maintain order on the streets of the city, and more to make gains for the garrison.
The garrison Ding Liang is full of martial arts, so he can naturally distinguish what the troops should look like, and who can really be used as soldiers, obviously these soldiers defending the city are real soldiers, and they are different from those ruffian soldiers who shout at the civilians.
"Ding Liang, what do you want to do?" Li Xiangfeng was a little angry, and his stern voice of questioning subconsciously blurted out, and his right hand began to approach Suzaku.
Sensing the owner's intentions, Suzaku let out a cheerful laugh and flames rose around him, and the scorching temperature quickly raised the cold temperature around him.
In the city, countless civilians looked up at this shocking scene, although they didn't know what was happening on the top of the city tower, but they understood that it seemed that the lord from the capital and the two adults of Beiyang City were fighting each other.
Outside the city, more people had already retreated dozens of meters away, because they had seen similar situations, and they had also seen the power unleashed by the dragon hovering in mid-air.
If this dragon beast starts to threaten, and he stands here he will also suffer an unwarranted disaster.
"Hehe!" Ding Liang let out a disdainful laugh, his words were full of disrespect, and he said without the slightest respectful tone like before: "Ben General wants to ask the lord, what are you doing again?"
The words were said with honorifics, but without the slightest honorific.
Pulling a hair and moving the whole body, Yu Yan understands this truth, and now he is holding his breath and concentrating on vigilance, waiting for an opportunity to move.
Yu Yan was like a poisonous snake in the dark night, waiting for the prey to show the slightest bit of its feet, and then it would leap high, show its sharp fangs, and deliver a fatal blow.
"Don't act rashly!"
Li Xiangfeng's slight voice sounded in his ears, and Yu Yan knew that now was not the right time to make a move, just the bows and crossbows that had been taken away around him were an existence that he could not resist.
Maybe you can escape here, but if you want to subdue Ding Liang in front of you, I'm afraid you are not sure in your heart, after hearing Li Xiangfeng's instructions, Yu Yan stood motionless in place, always vigilant.
Yu Yan knew in his heart that these people would really kill Li Xiangfeng, even if the two of them were in the name of Qincha, in the eyes of the defenders of Beiyang City, it was really better to be a good guard.
This is not only because the emperor is far away and the emperor is the rich man, nor is it because "the county officials are not as good as the current management", but more because these garrisons have obviously become the "Ding family army".
"What am I doing?" Li Xiangfeng laughed angrily, and then asked rhetorically: "Could it be that the two adults of Taishou and Garrison are not good at eyesight, and they can't see what I am doing here?"
"I'm in disaster relief!"
Li Xiangfeng paused for a moment, and then said word by word.
As if hearing a big joke, Beiyang City's guard Su Hongcai and Guard Ding appeared and laughed.
"Hahahaha!" Su Hongcai seemed to be smiling heartily, ignoring Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan's already dark faces.
Then he said: "Could it be that the disaster victims stormed the city, waited for an opportunity to seize the city, and killed my soldiers defending the city is the disaster relief that the lord said?" The voice of rhetorical questioning, word by word, forced Li Xiangfeng word by word, as if Li Xiangfeng was the culprit who instigated the disaster victims to attack Beiyang City.
"What kind of method do I have, I don't need you, the Taishou, to ask! If you want to ask, ask the victims in the city, if it weren't for the porridge in the past few days, would they have survived until now?"
"Okay!" Su Hongcai turned around happily and stroked the battlements and looked directly
The 10 tens of thousands of victims under the city said to Li Xiangfeng: "This official will ask the victims under the city about the disaster relief of the two lords, whether it is true.
As Su Hongcai spoke, a magic array pattern appeared out of thin air in front of him, and as the magic power surged, the voice that Su Hongcai said was infinitely amplified, resounding throughout the city tower in the air.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, this official is Su Hongcai, the Taishou of Beiyang City!" A loud voice came from the city tower, and the ragged victims under the city raised their heads and looked at the city tower of Beiyang City.
This is the west gate of Beiyang City, which is the only way for them to escape from the famine, and after begging for some food here, they can go to the southeast, and I heard that there is a place where they can live.
The people don't know what the name of that place is, but everyone else says so, so there must be such a place.
"In today's prosperous times, it should be a day to enjoy the blessings of heaven, but the chaotic people in the west have rebelled, and the thieves have wantonly plundered food, land, and population, causing us to be displaced and our wives separated! Although it is not within the jurisdiction of this official, as long as the people of the empire are the people of my Su Hongcai, this official will definitely do his best to provide disaster relief and relief! Let everyone live!"
The very demagogic cry was accompanied by Su Hongcai's look of pity and worry, and under this seamless cooperation, countless elderly victims shed tears of gratitude.
It is not unreasonable, how can ordinary people tell what they can distinguish?
Some of the victims simply fell to their knees and raised their hands in a big salute!
shouted words such as "Long live!", "Long live the Wan Qin Empire!", "Long live Su Qingtian!", but at this moment, he completely forgot the hundred and ten corpses in front of him, and even the victims who hung upside down on the city wall and bled to show the public were regarded as thieves who instigated everyone to die.
The victims heard these words many times, but they waited for the arrival of hunger instead of food relief, and countless people lost their lives, and their officials were perfunctory wherever they went.
As long as the stomach continues to scream, these victims will not listen to this kind of righteous and awe-inspiring rhetoric.
But Beiyang City is different from other cities, this is a real food supply, the porridge shed provides rice porridge for two meals a day, although it is not much, but at least it will not make the stomach rumble anymore.
Su Hongcai was very satisfied with the current effect, stroked his hands up and down, signaled the victims to be quiet, and continued: "Can anyone tell me now, are you satisfied with the results here, are you satisfied with the adults from the capital using such disaster relief?"
Li Xiangfeng watched Su Hongcai's every move with a bright light in his eyes, could it be that just by relying on his words, he could veto his unlimited efforts to help the victims in the past few days?
The more than 300,000 gold coins donated by the merchants of Beiyang City have been rapidly consumed like flowing water in the past few days, and today Li Xiangfeng has already understood that these gold coins are far from enough to help the victims of such a large base.
The last plan has been paid to the water, and all the gold coins will be used to buy food, and those grain merchants will not make any waves, and then distribute all of them to the victims, so that they can find a way to survive elsewhere.
Because Kenben has no way to survive here, the entire Beiyang City will not use any of it to help these victims who have fled the famine!
The people outside the city were quiet and terrible!
Fear, hesitation, confusion, doubt!
All of them are full of the faces of the victims!
After a long time!
A loud scream pierced the sky and shot into Li Xiangfeng's ears!
"Why should we use food to help the inhabitants of the city, do they need more help than us!"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the entire group of victims began to denounce.
