Chapter 60: Great! No more wars!
In the woods thirty miles outside Sanssouci City, there were tents everywhere, and Bai Nuo and Mu Jingyang sat on the ground, roasting on fire.
"Xiaobai, can you tell me about your hometown?"
"Yes!" Bai Nuo smiled, "We are also good friends who share life and death, there is nothing we can't say." ”
Mu Jingyang thought of the several assassinations he had experienced along the way, and shook his head helplessly, "It's really ashamed to promise Wen Jun to take good care of you, and it still frightens you." ”
"How can I blame you, if you hadn't protected me all the way, maybe I would be missing arms and legs now." Bai Nuo added some firewood and said slowly;
"Our hometown is a peaceful world, everyone obeys the law and will not easily hurt others, everyone has to be responsible for their words and deeds, even pay the price, and no one wants to make trouble for themselves."
Mu Jingyang smiled slightly, "It sounds like a very beautiful place. ”
"If there's a chance to go back...... Bai Nuo paused, "I'll take you with me." ”
Mu Jingyang's eyes lit up, "Is this true?" ”
Bai Nuo nodded, "Of course!" ”
At this time, Zhang Zhentian walked over, "White girl, the night is more dewy, go back to the camp tent and rest." ”
Bai Nuo stood up and looked at Xiao Zhiheng not far away, "Have you discussed?" ”
Zhang Zhentian nodded, "As soon as the time comes, I will lead people to raid in from the West Gate, and the people inside will help me attack the city." ”
"Okay, then you have to be careful."
"The white girl doesn't need to worry, she can stay in the tent with peace of mind."
"That's right, you don't want to go anywhere here." Mu Jingyang echoed.
"Okay, I won't trouble you, I'm here waiting for your triumphant return!"
She said this, but she couldn't help but get nervous until late at night, still tossing and turning, still unable to sleep, and finally decided......
On the gate of Sanssouci City, the columns of troops standing guard changed round after round, and each soldier raised the spirit of twelve points and stayed in place.
On the grass under the city gate, a figure with his back to a tree looked unusually lonely.
At this time, a hurried soldier came running, "General! Big things are wrong! ”
He turned around, his eyes were as calm as water, and he didn't even have the slightest murderous aura.
"Reinforcements from the Heavenly Spirit have arrived and attacked us at the West Gate! And there are their men in this city, with whom they should be joined in······"
"Hmm." He was not surprised that a pair of long legs were blocked by someone before he could take a step.
Zhang Zhentian arched his hand, not at all tense when facing his opponent, "I've been looking up for a long time, General Li Sheng." ”
"I don't know who Your Excellency is?"
"Zhang Zhentian."
He nodded, "I have admired the name for a long time, I don't know what happened to Your Excellency's late night visit?" ”
"The old man has come to receive Sanssouci City." Zhang Zhentianyun said lightly, as if this war was just an ordinary thing like eating.
"I don't know when such a big man as Your Excellency took refuge in the imperial court."
Zhang Zhentian was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It's just a false name, it's not as young and promising as General Li Sheng, and he is valued by the imperial court, and his future is immeasurable." ”
"It's just a joke." He laughed to himself. "This Sanssouci City is originally a heavenly spirit, just take it."
Zhang Zhentian was very surprised when he heard this, "What does this mean, general?" ”
"There is a perennial drought here, and if there is another war, it is the people who suffer." Speaking of this, he bent down slightly and arched his hands, "The life of this general can be offered at any time, and I hope that Your Excellency will treat these soldiers well, they are all innocent, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and he can't help himself." ”
"General······ The soldier on the side burst into tears, and he wanted to stop talking, "Please also ask the general to ······"
Zhang Zhentian was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but be in awe, he arched his hand, "General Li Sheng understands the righteousness, which makes us admire. After that, he beckoned and let the people in the shadows come out, "You go and tell the soldiers at the city gate, the old man and General Li Sheng are discussing a truce, don't have a conflict, in addition, inform Lord Xiao to cancel the siege." ”
"Yes!" They all responded and left.
"General, I'm tired." Zhang Zhentian said with a smile.
"Chuan Ben's order, open the city gates, and welcome the army of the heavenly spirits."
"Yes!" The soldier answered and ran away.
Zhang Zhentian walked around the city of Sanssouci only to know that after General Li Sheng occupied the city, not only did not hurt any of the people, but also distributed the food and salary to them, and the prestige in this land was quite high, the situation of this Sanssouci City was even worse than he imagined, the year was drought, there was not much food to fill the stomach, and the people suffered from hunger all year round.
An hour later, Xiao Zhiheng arrived in the city with the army, looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, most of them were yellow and thin, he couldn't bear it, and hurriedly asked his deputy general to lead people to divide the dry food in his bag, which caused many people to kneel and worship;
"Thank you! Thank you! You're all good people······"
"Thank you, sir!"
Some of them who didn't make a sound also knelt down.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhiheng hurriedly jumped off the horse and helped everyone up, "Ben General... Shame on you! ”
"Where is the prefectural order?" He asked angrily, "Why haven't the disaster relief materials allocated by the imperial court been distributed to the people?!" ”
A middle-aged man in ragged clothes stepped forward, "My lord, you don't know anything! If it weren't for General Li Sheng, he would have killed him, and he wouldn't have killed him! ”
Xiao Zhiheng was furious when he heard this, "How can this be reasonable! Is there no one to denounce this kind? ”
The middle-aged man shook his head, his eyes were full of despair, "Since ancient times, officials have protected each other, and there is no reason at all, someone once went to the Lin Governor's Mansion to denounce it, but it turned out to be convicted of slander by the Lin Governor's Mansion, and he ······ it in public." He didn't finish his sentence and hung his head.
Xiao Zhiheng's fists clenched, gritted his teeth and said, "Someone!" Go and find the prefect of Nalin! Take it to the Yamen! ”
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he heard this, "My lord! The little ones are willing to lead the way! ”
"Then there will be work!"
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" The middle-aged man was supported by the soldiers, mounted on horseback, and walked west.
In the backyard of the Yamen, Zhang Zhentian and General Li Sheng sat face to face, discussing for a while how to improve the situation in Sanssouci City, only to see Xiao Zhiheng walking in angrily;
"The people in the city are miserable, but the magistrates have done nothing, and they have even done some things that hurt heaven and reason!"
Zhang Zhentian's face was solemn, "This is the negligence of the imperial court." ”
"Master Zhang, be cautious!" Xiao Zhiheng reminded.
General Li Sheng was objective, "The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and there are always some places that are not well governed, and this is not only the case in the Heavenly Spirit Kingdom. ”
Xiao Zhiheng nodded, "This must be General Lisheng!" ”
"Exactly."
"Ben Jiang has come all the way and heard a lot about the general's deeds, Ben will thank the general for his great benevolence and righteousness on behalf of the court and the people of Tianling!" Speaking of this, Xiao Zhiheng bowed to General Li Sheng.
General Li Sheng hurriedly stood up and saluted back, "Your Excellency is serious. ”
"Ben will definitely tell the emperor truthfully and strive to commend him!"
Zhang Zhentian hesitated for a moment, looked at General Li Sheng, and still said the words, "General, have you thought about it?" ”
Xiao Zhiheng also waited for General Li Sheng's answer.
General Li Sheng smiled faintly, "Huang Qi has long had no place for me, the so-called general is just a false name, and my family has died under the suspicion of the emperor." There was sadness in his eyes, "I just returned the city, and I didn't divulge any secrets." ”
Zhang Zhentian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, since ancient times, there would be no good results for the meritorious masters, he sighed, "Then the general will ······ in the future." What are you going to do? ”
"If Your Excellency does not intend to take my life, I will set out at once and wander the world."
Zhang Zhentian hurriedly waved his hand, "The old man is definitely not a ruthless and unreasonable person, not to mention, if someone hurts the general, the people of this worry-free city will not agree!" After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Zhiheng coldly.
Xiao Zhiheng immediately glared at Zhang Zhentian, and said angrily, "Could it be that this general is a ruthless and unreasonable person?!" ”
Zhang Zhentian smiled, "Naturally not." ”
The three of them chatted for a while, and then replaced the wine with tea, staging a reconciliation between Huang Qiguo and Tianling Kingdom.
At this time, Bai Nuo ran in, "I can be regarded as finding you, the people outside said that this battle will not be fought, is it true?" ”
"yes, no fights." Zhang Zhentian said with a smile, "The white girl is here, can you have dinner?" ”
"I... I couldn't rest assured, so I followed. Bai Nuo smiled and said, "Great! No more wars! ”
