Chapter Thirty-Four: The Storm Is Coming, and the Night Is Coming
(Xinran's "Ziling-Zhou Langgu" is very good, I just listened to "King Qin's Breaking Array Music" for a long time, and I didn't understand it, but I can imagine the desolation of the condensation all over the ground at that time. )
"The little cold and cool wind and water are light, and no one is on the flower butterflies.
In the suburbs and festivals, the wine pillow jade belt, the day and the night.
Outside the long embankment of the eastern city, there is continuous snowfall.
If you are not here, when will the swing come. ”
In the splendid scenery of Qingyun City, Gongsun mistakenly looked at Nuan Nuan's improvised "Drunken Flower Sound", and said a good word with a smile. After speaking, Gongsun Cuo looked down at the rice paper under Nuan Nuan's hand, and then said I didn't expect you to write wild grass, the pen walked the snake, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, and you could afford the four words chic and free, which is really a good word.
Nuan Nuan smiled and shook her head slightly, "What's good about having a form and no god." ”
"Nuan Nuan, you can make a price, I bought this painting. Gongsun looked at the paper and said in a joking tone.
"Take it if you like. Nuan Nuan looked at Gongsun Cuo, her eyes bright, "It's my luck that you can see these words." ”
Nuan Nuan's words made Gongsun a little speechless, and silently folded the rice paper and put it on his chest.
"I'll go to the North Gate in a moment. I felt that the atmosphere in the air was a little dull, and Gongsun changed the subject.
Hearing Gongsun Cuo say this, Nuan Nuan didn't speak, just took two steps forward and sat around the table, in front of her was a gilded stove, and on the low table were bean rice shochu and four exquisite side dishes - there were her favorite mushrooms and peppers, Gongsun Cuo couldn't understand why Nuan Nuan liked spicy food so much.
"Qingyun City is a very good place, surrounded by mountains and rivers, from here you can walk to the north gate in half an hour, and there is a mountain to the west. Nuan Nuan said and took the blue and white wine glass, poured rice wine into it, and then stared at the rice wine in the wine glass, with a trace of confusion on her face, "When I was very young, I was taken out of the mountains to Yanguo, there are no stones, no beasts, and occasionally I can't understand what these people say......" Speaking of this, Nuan Nuan paused, glanced at Gongsun Cuo, and smiled bitterly with a little self-deprecation," At that time, I purely liked the gentle terrain and beautiful clothes here, and I was a little sensible, and I looked at the weak girls in the city who were all spitting words like orchids, and their faces were neat and marked, and I said that I would be as good as them. ”
Gongsun mistakenly knew Nuan Nuan's life experience, and when he heard her talk about the past, he didn't answer, just sat opposite Nuan Nuan, shook his wine glass, and listened quietly.
"The apricot blossom forest from the fire city, the bathing sea of Guangqi City, I have been to these places, and I like them very much, but after all, I still left there, it may be a bit exaggerated to say that I am displaced, but this way is really tiring is true, I remember the first time I came to the splendid scene, I once stood quietly outside the north gate, looking at the distant mountains, thinking about those childhood memories, the city is prosperous, the mountains are silent, only to realize that I forgot the way home. ”
Many years ago, the waterfalls beside the mountains in my memory, as well as those splashes of green bamboo, are now gone.
Many years later, a homesick song, I don't know how many nights I cried next to the pillow, secretly sad.
"I remember the first time I saw you, when you were riding a white horse, with a red flower on your chest, confident and high-spirited, so many years have passed. Nuan Nuan said and poured wine into the empty wine glass in front of Gongsun Cuo, "Now that the world is in chaos, isn't it okay to leave here and live well?"
Gongsun shook his head, picked up his wine glass and said only one sentence, "You are here." ”
Nuan Nuan was dull for a long time, and finally just sighed, she didn't get up to see each other for the first time when Gongsun Co left, this time the two of them didn't have a long time to meet in winter, knowing that Gongsun Co was going to join the army defending the city, Nuan Nuan felt a little lost, looking at the red candle that was about to burn to the end, Nuan Nuan finally bowed her head and said take care.
On the day of your return, you will inevitably get drunk.

A few days ago, the tribesmen suddenly launched an attack in Qingyun City, which made the Qi family army who was not prepared suffer a big loss, according to the investigation of the soldiers defending the city: this time nearly 10,000 people of the tribe participated in the battle, and later ran from the south gate Nearly 1,000 people, and the rest were all slaughtered by the Qi family army because of their refusal to surrender, and the 20,000 Qi family army soldiers led by Qi Tiande lost more than 10,000 - The strength of the Qi family army has been tempered after countless battles, and the sudden attack of the tribe and tribe, and even the danger of civilian lives, they are relieved of weapons, which is the reason why more than half of the 20,000 Qi family troops were injured, you must know that the Qi family army is all from Qingyun City, and among those threatened civilians are their wives and children.
The civilians of Qingyun City were killed by the tribe 4,732 people and seriously injured more than 2,000 people, and this history was recorded in the "Qingyun Zhi".
Cleared the tribal tribes lurking in the city, Qi Tianlie issued an order that all the tribesmen in Qingyun City must leave Qingyun City, otherwise once they are found out, those tribesmen who stayed in Qingyun City and did not participate in the battle left from the south gate one after another, and when the gate of the south gate of Qingyun City was tightly closed, the cavalry of Mangguo had come to the north gate of Qingyun City.
The 10,000 tribesmen who were originally outside Qingyun City and the 80,000 people of the tribal alliance who were hiding in the mountains saw the arrival of the Mangguo cavalry, and converged together to form a phalanx and leaned towards the Mangguo cavalry.
And when the Mangguo cavalry arrived outside Qingyun City, they did not attack the city first, but camped and stationed.
The six tribes of the tribal alliance went to find Mo Xiao under the leadership of Mulota - the cavalry of the Mangguo was a full hour later than the originally agreed siege plan, and the cavalry who came here did not attack the city...... Just now, nearly 10,000 tribesmen lost their lives in Qingyun City.
Looking at the six major tribes who were obviously a little excited and even indignant, Mo Xiao also showed a wry smile, and finally said something that made the patriarch of the six major tribes a little confused, "I am only responsible for commanding 50,000 Mangguo cavalry this time, and the battle plan must be up to the generalissimo." ”
Standing on the city wall, Qi Tianlie saw that the Mangguo cavalry did not attack immediately, although he didn't know what happened, but it was a good thing for Qingyun City, so he asked his subordinates to appease the city people, the war of the tribe tribe in Qingyun City has aroused the hatred in the hearts of the civilians in the city, seeing the arrival of the Mangguo cavalry, many young and middle-aged city citizens petitioned to join the team defending the city, but Qi Tianlie refused.

Gongsun Co walked on the road, looking at the scene in Qingyun City, there was some unspeakable suffering, as a descendant of a military general, he was forced to instill the history of the family since he was a child, but his family did not ask him to take up the mission of family rejuvenation, and now the Gongsun family is only left in the vein of Gongsun Cuo, when he was very young, Gongsun Cuo's father told him, don't think about restoring the glory of the Gongsun family in history, live well, because the invincible descendants of Gongsun are now the only ones left with you, which is also the reason why Gongsun Cuo will take the civil service examination in the first place- Military generals can only show their role on the battlefield, and Gongsun mistakenly wants to rebuild the prestige of the anti-scale army by himself, which is too fantastical.
Two days ago, the cavalry of Mangguo had launched thirteen attacks on Qingyun City one after another, and Qi Tianlie said that looking at the appearance of the cavalry of Mangguo, he was ready to fight a long battle, and the people of the tribal alliance did not participate in the battle at first, and they didn't know what they were waiting for, until yesterday, the cavalry of Mangguo and the tribal alliance launched an attack on Qingyun City at the same time.
Qingyun City is three feet high, all made of stone, condescending and easy to defend and difficult to attack, but suddenly the flock of birds that appeared above Qingyun City greatly disrupted the defense of the Qingyun City soldiers - these palm-sized birds of different colors only pecked the eyes of the Qingyun City soldiers!
Not only that, but later there were some poisonous bees shaped like dragonflies, although it was not fatal to sting people, but it could cause people to be unconscious for a short time, and the high fever did not go away after waking up, and the soldiers at the north gate of Qingyun City all fell ill overnight.
Up to now, the original nearly 30,000 gatekeepers at the north gate of Qingyun City have now sacrificed nearly 10,000, and half of them have lost their combat effectiveness because of poisonous bees.
The citizens of Qingyun City did not huddle at home at this time, but walked out of their homes with all kinds of weapons-machetes, iron rods, and long forks to the north gate of Qingyun City, preparing to make their own contributions when Mangguo attacked the city again.
It was in this situation that Gongsun mistakenly looked at the wounded in the city, forgot the advice of his family, and still decided to participate in this battle.
Three-foot sword and ten thousand books, what do I mean by God, I can't report to the country and the world, and I am a man's husband in vain!
When the splendid scenery came out, the sky was covered with snowflakes again, the houses in Qingyun City were covered with silver, and the streets that had not been cleaned were covered with snow again.
And now I don't know how many people will die when I get a good night's sleep.
Walking to the north gate, Gongsun Coo, he saw a small open-top hotel, and bought a pot of soju for a piece of broken silver, although it was not baked over a charcoal fire, but the entrance was still smooth.
Drinking in the snow, swords fighting, Gongsun Cuo has no poetry, at the moment he has no friends, no stove, no bamboo pine to set off, only a pot of extremely spicy soju.
"The city lord has an order to gather a hundred soldiers who are not afraid of death, and they will go out of the city at night. Not far away, a soldier in leather looked at Wang Pojun who was stained with blood on his body and said.
Gongsun smiled wrongly, half-clenched his fists, and walked over.

"The third prince, in front of you are the people of the tribal alliance. Makino stomped his feet, shook off the snow on his body, and looked at the camp of the tribal alliance outside Qingyun City.
"You still need to say this. Su Qin replied angrily, the two of them forced their way into the Strange Beast Peak, Su Qin is still a little unbelievable in retrospect, nearly twenty clansmen of the Yue Luo clan were killed by himself and Mu Ye, not to mention, he ran into the place where the clansmen of the Yue Luo clan lived, grabbed a few beast clothes, and washed the mud on their bodies in a small lake with the beast clothes, and the two of them put on these beast clothes that were slightly nondescript because of their different physiques.
"What should we do next?" Makino looked at the people of the tribe who were eating in the distance, swallowed a mouthful of spit, but unexpectedly his nose itched, and he sneezed in a low voice.
"You don't have a fever, right?" Su Qin frowned when he looked at Mu Ye, the two of them came out of the swamp and were covered in muddy water, and they took a cold shower just now, and they were hungry for so long, he himself was a little unbearable.
Makino smiled and said it was okay, but he sneezed two more times in succession, and his face turned a little red.
"Follow me. Su Qin looked at Mu Ye's appearance, and then said that he would go to the cavalry of Mangguo.
