Chapter 66: Shi Ping'an
Shameful sister asked her to come? What does that mean? What does it mean to be ashamed of sister? What does she mean by herself? Ji Yunkong suddenly felt that his wise and martial head turned into a pulp. Moreover, why did he feel a little more inexplicably bored when Fairy Qingyun talked to him? Although she was also cold in the past, she was quite kind to herself, but today is this a cannon? I really didn't want to provoke her.
Ji Yunkong was not worried about the cold poison of Fairy Qingyun, since Duanmu was ashamed to let her come out, he already had a way to deal with it. The facts have also proved that every time she eats, Fairy Qingyun will swallow a fiery red elixir, which contains a huge amount of fire energy, which is presumably refined by Duanmu Zhisha to suppress the cold poison in her body.
The two of them traveled together in the starry night, and it took less than two days to reach Luanyang, and in these two days, the two of them almost never got off the horse, and even the horses were tired to death of seven or eight horses. When Luanyang saw it, Ji Yunkong suddenly frowned.
The situation is indeed not optimistic, one side of the city wall of Luanyang has completely collapsed, and the other three sides are also very dilapidated. Now on the collapsed city wall, there are countless laborers, with some earth and stones to rebuild a high wall, but for a while, where can the city wall be restored to its original appearance? Come to think of it, if it weren't for the other party's fear of paying a huge price, Luanyang would have been broken a long time ago.
Now the entire Luanyang has been surrounded by water, and the two can't even enter the city, so in desperation, they can only use the power of the eaglet at night to perform a "trapeze" again, and then they enter the city unconsciously.
When he entered the city, Ji Yunkong realized that the miserable scene he saw outside the city was really not enough in the city. At present, there are only more than 800 soldiers in the city who can preserve their combat strength, and the rest are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and all the food, grass, ordnance, medicine, and so on are all exhausted. In the city, a large part of the houses have collapsed, not because of the war, but because the army in the city has dismantled them by their own hands, and the stones and wood in them have been used to make rolling wood.
After Shi Ping'an received the news of Jiuyang Village's help, he was overjoyed and personally trotted all the way over to greet him, but after learning that Ji Yunkong and Qingyun Fairy had come, his face was undisguised. There is no need to hide it, but at this point, no one knows if they can see the sun tomorrow day, and who will entertain them with a hypocritical face. Shi Ping'an just arranged a place for the two of them, and after a few words of greeting, he hurriedly went out to patrol the city.
"What do you think?" Ji Yunkong casually asked Fairy Qingyun.
"There is no help," replied the Qingyun Fairy, "there are less than 800 defenders in the city, but the enemy army is more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and there are countless siege weapons, and there are also famous generals, where is there room for maneuver." Even if we do our best, we can only protect Shi Ping'an and escape at most, and the rest cannot be saved. ”
Ji Yunkong smiled faintly and said, "At this point, you can be regarded as very wrong. In my opinion, Luanyang has at least three reasons to turn defeat into victory, and if Helian Jun's kid is here, I'm afraid he can find more. ”
"Oh?" Fairy Qingyun looked at Ji Yunkong with a look of disbelief, "Then I'll listen to it." ”
Ji Yunkong said with a smile: "First, the ancients are also loyal. You can fight. Although Shi Ping'an does not understand military affairs or politics, he is very popular here. Otherwise, after he killed the court officials, there would not be so many people supporting him. Over the years, his soldiers and horses have never harassed the people, but built water conservancy, cultivated and weaved, which can be said to benefit one party, and with the support of everyone, they can persist until now. ”
"Second, the enemy is advancing all the way, and it is inevitable to underestimate the enemy's carelessness, even if the generals do not have this idea, but the soldiers below will also breed pride. One side is determined to die and is willing to serve the country with his body, and the other side is proud and careless, what do you say will be the result? ”
Qingyun Fairy smiled coldly: "Even if you have a lotus tongue, you can't change the fact that Luanyang is in danger, indeed, what you said is very reasonable." However, everything is based on the equal strength of the two sides, if Luanyang has the same soldiers and horses as the Tang Empire, the winner must be Shi Ping'an's side. However, the current situation is that the imperial court soldiers are full of food, and Luanyang is already in turmoil, and this fact cannot be changed. ”
"So, there is a third and most important reason."
"What?"
"Because I'm here, these people won't die!" Ji Yunkong's face revealed an incomparably evil smile, just like yesterday.
Qingyun Fairy looked at the man in front of him in a daze, the more she came into contact with him, the more she didn't understand him. Insolent, careful, arrogant, gentle...... It seems that every adjective can be used on him, however, he always gives people an inexplicable confidence that since he says he can do it, he will definitely be able to do it.
Shi Ping'an's appearance can only be regarded as an ordinary person, especially a big rosacea, which completely destroyed the originally somewhat handsome face. Moreover, when people reach middle age, Shi Ping'an's body is inevitably a little blessed, although he has some martial arts foundation, but after all, it is not very deep, and after patrolling day and night, he is also exhausted. Just after patrolling, he returned home to rest, and a maid on the side hurriedly helped him beat his legs and rub his shoulders.
"Alas......" Shi Ping'an sighed, looking at the two maids who were kneading for himself in a daze. They were originally Madame's personal maids, and they have been by their side since Madame was persecuted to death by that corrupt official. Madam, Shi Ping'an's heart ached when he thought of that gentle and virtuous woman. Mrs. was kind and charitable, did countless good deeds, and was respected as a "living bodhisattva" by the people around her, how could she end up like that? I was just a small businessman with some spare money, if I hadn't been * to a desperate situation, why would I take this step? Businessmen, the two most prominent characteristics, heavy profits, spare life, if you are not * to a desperate situation, how can you take risks and do this kind of big thing that connects the nine clans?
After resting for a while, Shi Ping'an suddenly got off the ground, put on his boots, and walked outside again. The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, it stands to reason that the three owners of Jiuyang Village are not such ruthless people, even if they are ruthless, they will not be so ignorant. Now that Luanyang is in danger, how could they only send two people to help? Although Shi Ping'an is a little wooden, he is not stupid, and he is even a little shrewd, otherwise he would not have achieved the position of the leader of the rebel army.
"No, I'm going to check it out." Shi Ping'an felt more and more that he was not doing something right, and regardless of whether others were powerful or not, but the starry night rushed to help you, so you shouldn't treat them coldly. The so-called people respect me for a foot, and I respect people for a foot, which is exactly the reason.
Driven by this thought, Shi Ping'an hurriedly walked out, leaving only two maids to pray for him in the house
