On February 25, the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Jingshi

After the Dongjiang Army was stationed outside the south gate two days ago, this area of the Beijing Division became lively. Today, both sides of the royal road leading from the south gate to the Daming Gate are crowded with people. There were many houses on both sides of the royal road, and today these owners were repeatedly alarmed by the knocking on the door, and there were always strangers standing outside their gates, politely asking if they could spend a few copper plates and ask the owner to give up a small piece of space on the roof or wall.

At first, there were only sporadic people climbing up to the roof, but as time went on, the walls were soon filled with many people. Many scholars put down Sven, tied up their robes, rolled up their cuffs, and climbed up the wall. Eventually, there were even female dependents on the rooftops on both sides of the road, who carefully put sheets or straw paper under their skirts and began to look around happily.

Near the city gate, as soon as the morning dawned, there were already crowds of people, and the crowd of onlookers kept bursting into loud noises, and they kept arguing about what kind of posture the officers and soldiers of Changsheng Island would appear in today's day. In the waiting crowd, many people have seen the military ceremony of Juniper, Liu Ting and other generals, at that time, those Liao generals were prancing horses galloping out of the gate of the Beijing Division, among which Juniper also danced a big sword all the way to the people's gate with his upper body.

"Take the 12 states of Shanxi first"

"Others will hit the yaku"

"Looking back, Qin Sai is as low as a horse"

"Gradually I saw the Yellow River flowing straight north. ”

......

The faint sound of military songs drifted from afar, and seemed to be accompanied by vague drums, rising and falling together in the spring breeze. The sound, though still far away, was like a spark splashing into a powder keg. Stirred up the waiting crowd. All of them held their breath, stood on tiptoe, and pounced in the wind for the looming voice.

"Tianwei swept across the Yellow River"

"Wanli Qiang people are full of Han songs"

"Moyan crosses the mountain and flows backwards"

"From the west of the church to be Enbo. ”

......

Loud singing came from outside the city walls. Under He Dingyuan's strict guidance, the officers and men sang every word very clearly. With the rumbling waist drum sound, it is full of northwest charm. Some people in the crowd had heard the military song of the Qin army, and they couldn't help but whisper in confusion: The soldiers of Changsheng Island were obviously from the eastern Liaodong border army, how could they sing the triumphant song of the Ganshan border army? However, most of the people did not pay attention to this, they were all infected by the rough singing, and the continuous low drum sound also showed a kind of awe-inspiring majesty.

Thousands of people sang in unison, and the people of Beijing were excitedly looking forward to the south gate, and the children were all lifted to their heads by their fathers. The children sucked their fingers silently, and their dark eyes opened round on their childish faces.

Gradually, the original sonorous singing voice was lowered, and the last sentence was inaudible. At the moment when the voice was about to disappear, suddenly, a Dongjiang flag soldier holding a big red snake flag had already passed through the city gate and walked into the field of vision of the people of the capital with his chest high.

Huang Shi, who was holding a sword in his left hand, followed closely behind the flag bearer, and he kept singing loudly with his officers and soldiers. When he approached the gate, he threw his right arm straight. Gao kicked his legs and walked up the royal road for the second time. At this time, contrary to the silence of the song, the passionate waist drum was sounding violently.

Five meters behind Yellowstone, there was a whole row of drummers, staring ahead, as if they were leading their comrades on the battlefield. With his mouth shut, he slammed the drum with all his might. They beat this magnificent drum with all their enthusiasm, and only the officers and men of Changsheng Island, who regard death as home, can exude such a sky-high fighting spirit, and only invincible pride can arouse such a majestic spirit.

Between the drummers and Yellowstone, Duncan walked alone, holding his beloved Scottish bagpipes in his arms, and after receiving a reward for the Battle of Nanguan last year, Yellowstone quietly ordered a set of bagpipes for him. The Jesuits have finally found one in Macau. In the middle of last year, Yellowstone gave the bagpipe as a birthday present to Duncan, and since then he has been blowing it on Everlife Island whenever he has nothing to do.

At the same time, the people heard this melodious music, which, although extremely tactful and mournful, was still tenacious and leaked from the earth-shattering drums. It is like lightning piercing the dark clouds and black mist, and it is like a pine and cypress standing on a cliff in that weeping tune. has its own unyielding arrogance.

At this time, Duncan was already immersed in his own performance, this year, in addition to being a military music, he also played this piece at many funerals, Zhang Zaidi also wrote several reports to Huangshi, he believes that Duncan is a very suitable instrument to promote in the army, especially at the funeral, both graceful and ambitious, sprinkled with tens of thousands of words, in short, he has arranged for several priests to learn from Duncan.

In addition to Zhang Zaidi, He Dingyuan also liked this instrument after listening to Duncan's playing, and later every time he encountered the burial of fallen officers and soldiers, He Dingyuan stood behind Duncan and listened quietly for a while, and he also told Huang Shi: If he can't go home one day, then don't forget to ask Duncan to play a double for him. However, compared with Zhang Zaidi, He Dingyuan's evaluation of this instrument is very short, only two short sentences: "This music is very suitable for the death of a warrior, so it is also suitable for me." ”

The officers and men of Changsheng Island held Changsheng with their right hands

Guns or firecrackers leaned their weapons on their shoulders, kicked their legs high and leveled one by one, and walked neatly from the south gate into the Beijing Division. Under the control of the drumbeat, starting with the commander of the whole army like Huang Shi, and continuing to the lowest rank of the two battalions, nearly 5,000 officers and soldiers walked in unison, as if a giant was striding forward, making the earth tremble with heavy steps.

Now, in addition to the original red tassel, Yellowstone's helmet also towers a white feather of a ruler, not only him, but also Duncan behind him, Duncan, the drummer behind Duncan, and behind the drummer - five thousand officers and soldiers in and outside the city, each of them has a white tail feather standing on his helmet.

This batch of snow-white feathers including peacock feathers in the mainland is one of the rewards given by the emperor the day before yesterday, and the emperor of the apocalypse promised: from today to the end of the world, the firefighting and selection of the two battalions of officers in Dongjiang Town are qualified to match white peacock feathers on the red tassels. Ordinary soldiers can also use white feathers as helmets, and both battalions have three golden sable tails on top of their flags, which are now flying in the air along with the snake flags.

In addition to the peacock feather and the golden sable, the Emperor of the Apocalypse also gave the officers and soldiers of the two battalions twenty tiger skins and two hundred bear skins, and now the officers of Huangshi and below have taken off the hem of the cotton cloth on their helmets, and decorated the ears and turbans of the tiger skin on the helmets, and the soldiers of the two battalions also wore bear skin scarves.

The white feathers, red tassels, tiger skins, battle armor, and the passionate drumming and neat pace made the people of Jingshi, who were originally ready to cheer violently, lose the ability to speak. They quietly watched the Dongjiang Iron Army passing in front of them, and many people began to swallow saliva involuntarily, and the huge strangeness forcibly opened the distance between the military and the people.

Huang Shi walked on the silent royal road, the crowd in front of him was always more lively than the people around him and behind him, and there was always no shortage of spectators pushing and jumping among the people in front of him. But as they saw the military appearance of the officers and soldiers of Changsheng Island, the curiosity of these people seemed to disappear without a trace in an instant, and the crowd that had been surging under the current quickly calmed down, as well as the ordinary people and those Jingshi officials who maintained order. They couldn't help but freeze their smiles on their faces, and the gazes they cast were also dyed with awe.

The army rumbled over the royal road in full swing, but on either side of the vigorous serpent, it was as if a cold wind was blowing through it, and all the vitality and fluctuations were frozen. The death-like silence of the crowd and the flame-like army were clearly close together, but the soldiers and civilians were as clear as the ice and fire of the confrontation ground, until they were broken by a loud shout......

"Lord Prince Shaobao. ”

A woman burst out of the crowd screaming, and the mournful shouts that cut through the silence of the crowd put the drums to a halt. Huang Shi looked at the panicked face: a wrinkled, weather-beaten face. And those eyes full of anxiety, anticipation, and thick pleading colors made him involuntarily slow down.

The shout also woke up the orderly officials, who immediately grabbed the woman who rushed out, but she struggled desperately. Her strength was so great, and the two servants couldn't stop her for a while.

"Lord Prince Shaobao. ”

When the shouting sounded again, the woman was almost dragged away by the officials, and Huang Shi raised his hand to restrain the man, and at the same time stopped the drummer behind him.

"Thank you, Crown Prince. Seeing this, the woman struggled hard, got rid of the servants, and rushed towards Huangshi. The person who grabbed her behind her was stunned and didn't catch up, and the woman knelt at Huangshi's feet, pulling one of his paintings, and pleaded: "My lord, please save my son." ”

Without waiting for Yellowstone to reply, the woman turned around and shouted at the crowd. After she shouted a few times, Huang Shi saw that a few more men were squeezed out. They cowered and dragged a tied man. Unlike them, the woman, who ran back like a tiger, desperately dragged them toward Yellowstone.

The team had completely stopped, and in full view of everyone, the woman ran to Huang Shi again, hugged his trouser legs, as if afraid that Huang Shi would fly away, and the men behind her slowly carried the tied man over, it was a young man who looked to be about twenty years old, his eyes were blank, and a rope was tied to his mouth, and the man was tightly tied to the door panel under him.

By the time they arrived, the woman had been babbling and begging Huangshi for a long time, probably meaning that she was young and widowed, and it was difficult to bring up her son, but a few days ago, somehow she became a wind demon, and invited many monks and Taoist priests, but they couldn't drive the ghost away: "...... Lord Prince, Lord Shaobao, you are Wuqu Xingjun, please use your great power to drive away the ghosts attached to him......"

Yellowstone helped the woman up, her son had been flattened to the ground, and Yellowstone glanced at the crowd around him, all of whom were staring at him.

- I may be charged with buying people's hearts in the eyes of people with ulterior motives...... The most important thing is that it can't be useful, and it won't work at all.

The women beside him pleaded with each other, and Huang Shi walked over to the madman and crouched down. He writhed and struggled in front of Yellowstone...... Although he was a madman, Huang Shi could tell that he was a delicate young man, and his head was neatly combed by his mother

The clothes on and off his body were also clean, and the ropes that bound his hands and feet were carefully covered with cloth.

- Pity the hearts of parents all over the world.

Yellowstone gently placed his hand on the young man's forehead, trying to calm him down, and then looked back at his mother, who was tearful with gratitude. Asked softly, "What do you need me to do?"

......

There is no miracle, Huang Shi scolded and scolded hard, and slapped two hard, but the ghost still refused to leave, and before he untied the rope in the madman's mouth, he spat Huang Shi and salivated on his face. Amid the exclamations of the crowd, Huang Shi stood up apologetically and said to the poor mother, "I'm sorry. I tried my best. ”

"Much better, already much better. To Huang Shi's surprise, the woman's face was full of gratitude, she beckoned the people who came with her, carried her son away again, and thanked Huang Shi for her kindness when she left: "After two days, the ghost is gone, and the old body must let the dog set up an immortal card for the prince and the young guard." ”

"It will definitely be good, what kind of ghost Chong can withstand the murderous aura of Wuqu Xingjun?"

The woman's figure disappeared into the crowd, and her nagging gradually disappeared from Huang Shi's ears, Huang Shi reached out and wiped the saliva that the madman spat on his face, and looked helplessly at the surrounding crowd: the faces with blank expressions. The onlookers of the Beijing Division, as well as his guards, standard-bearers, and drummers in Huangshi, all fell into a dead silence.

Huang Shi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and couldn't think of anything to say for a while, but fortunately, under the gaze of countless eyes, Huang Shi slowly walked back to his place. He coughed at the drummers and was about to start the march again. After seeing Huangshi's eyes, the drummers also made their moves listlessly, and they also had embarrassed expressions on their faces, like a group of deflated balls.

A lonely shout suddenly erupted from the crowd behind Yellowstone:

"The Yellow Palace has cured a mad man!"

The sudden shout rose into the air. It's like ripples in the surface of a lake that spread out through the crowd faster than galloping ground.

"Yes, I saw it too. ”

"That's right, it's cured. ”

"Ten Thousand Family Buddha Huang Gong Bao!"

......

Because of the strangeness between the army and the people, because of the murderous aura emitted by the army of a hundred battles, the estrangement formed was like ice for eternity, but with the cheers of this spring thunder. It melted and disintegrated like snowflakes under the rising sun, and the fanatical people of Jingshi had no time to ask what was going on. shouted and rushed towards the officers and soldiers of Changsheng Island.

In the blink of an eye, Huangshi's surroundings were crowded with worshipping people, all of them were proud to be able to touch Huangshi's armor, and they all shouted for Huangshi to lend them some luxury and righteousness. Huang Shi was squeezed by the people of Jingshi, and the official who was supposed to maintain order almost pounced on him, grabbed Huang Shi's arm, and yelled at the people around him: "I saw it, I saw it with my own eyes, the Yellow Palace is really a star monarch descending to earth!"

Huang Shi tried his best to distinguish at first: "Fathers, you have misunderstood. ”

But his voice was mercilessly drowned out in the overwhelming shouts, and finally Huang Shi's voice also became: "Yes, fathers and elders, come and share my blessings." ”

At this time, Huang Shi was already in tears—this is the country I swore to defend, this is the God that my children of Eternal Life Island exchanged for blood and sweat, how much I love this qiē!

......

The officers and soldiers of Changsheng Island were also in a mess at this time, and the firefighting camp gun stuffed several strings of money in the arms of the chief Li Gen, and just now there was a person who couldn't squeeze anything and couldn't squeeze anything, so he threw a silver ingot at Li Gen Yaoyao in front of him, and smashed him until his nose bleeded for a long time, and the soldiers around him were also stuffed with all kinds of things.

For example, Dugu Qiu, who was just behind Li Gen, just now a chubby middle-aged man squeezed over, pushed a bag of fruit into his arms without saying a word, and shouted at him in a crying tone: "Poor kid, I guess I haven't eaten a few full meals in the barracks." ”

"Big brother, you must have never tasted this in Liaodong!" Dugu Qiu, who was dazed, felt that someone had put something around his neck again, and only after he struggled to keep up with the team did he appear that there was a heavy, round coarse cloth pocket on his chest, and a large emerald and green winter melon was also contained in it.

......

Since ancient times, there was no reason for the Son of Heaven and other courtiers, and the Ming Dynasty was of course no exception, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse was sitting in the main hall drinking tea at this time, and from time to time eunuchs ran in to report the situation on the royal street.

"Long live the Lord inquired clearly, it turned out that there was a crazy demon who used the murderous aura on General Huang's body to drive away the possessed ghost Chong, and as a result, the people outside were as crazy as ......"

After he laughed, Gu Fu, who came to speak with the Son of Heaven today, suddenly said thoughtfully: "Are the people scrambling to stuff money into the hands of the soldiers? ”

These words seemed to stab the apocalypse, making his hearty laughter stop abruptly, seeing the emperor glancing coldly, Gu Fu was about to leave his seat to apologize, but he heard an indignant voice next to him: "Gu Ge is so bad." ”
