In September, it gets dark early in the Northland.

Among the branch cities, the northern city was the most seriously damaged, while the relatively poor and dilapidated southern city was not very damaged.

However, due to the large-scale construction plan in the city, the population of the city has moved to the northern city, which is being rebuilt.

This small area is dilapidated and uninhabited.

In the crooked straw huts, a few buildings that are still bright are lit with dim candles.

The backyard of this wine shop is a two-entry courtyard, and there are three small courtyards for living next to it, which doubles as a foot shop on weekdays for drinkers to rest temporarily.

Finally, there is a compound dedicated to parking cars and horses.

In the middle of the hall, the sound of whispering is all in a low volume.

The dim candlelight reflected the bright satin surfaces of the people in the room.

In this dilapidated house where the lichen is all ground and the smell of mildew and dampness is exuded, half of the big families with heads and faces have gathered.

Those who can come here have reached a tacit understanding and taken action.

Lian Zhe was a little fluttering.

Lin, Chiang, Guo......

These people with big surnames gathered around Lian Zhe and praised his actions.

He doesn't really seem to have done anything, though.

But it didn't prevent him from being humble, saying that he just didn't want to continue to be bullied by Zhao Yunpifu and the poisonous woman of the Gongsun family.

But it was the real action of the steward Ding, sitting on the side at a loss.

I don't know where he offended Lian Jialangjun, and he was left out in the cold.

Another meritorious person, Wang Jin, was quite courteous, and followed Lian Zhe behind him and got to know many people from the family.

This made Wang Jin overjoyed, and he kept smiling on his face.

Late at night, the oil lamp burning in the corner of the house crackled and bloomed.

Suddenly, someone said: "Calculate the time, even the gong should start acting." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but look in the direction of Dongcheng.

……

Smack

An extremely heavy leather bag fell to the ground.

The mouth of the bag was not tightened, and a few golden gold cakes rolled out.

It's not the usual thing called gold is copper, but real gold.

In the light of the torches, it shimmers with a charming sheen.

Lian Zhen curled the corners of his lips, looked at the dark-skinned city gate captain in front of him and looked at the gold on the ground, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

The value of this bag of lintoe gold is enough to make the young man in front of him not worry for half his life.

Finally, the young man with the green tendons on his forehead, bewitched by the golden light, stepped forward suddenly, picked up the bag of gold, and held it in his arms like a baby.

Lian Zhen smiled with satisfaction and gestured to the servant beside him, and the servant took the order.

Come back when you're young and nod to Lianzhen.

Lian Zhen suddenly smiled with satisfaction.

……

In the second half of the night, people are most sleepy.

The soldiers above the eastern city were drowsy, and Lian Zhen, led by the captain of the city gate, swaggered up to the city wall with his entourage.

He looked at the sleepy soldiers and shook his head secretly.

Zhao Yun's background is a little shallower in the end, and after the elite soldiers under his account follow him to Xiangguan, there will be no available people, and the soldiers in this city are not good.

But that's good.

The fruit that the Yuan family promised them once turned around and actually fell into the hands of his Lian family.

Lian Zhen thought proudly.

At this time, the stars outside the city lit up with fires, and thousands of people were coming towards the city gates.

A napping soldier woke up, and when he saw the situation in front of him, he was about to run to the watchtower and ring the bronze bell to warn him.

But he was stopped by the city gate captain, kicked him in the ass and said, "Blind your dog eyes, didn't you see Mrs. Zhao guarding the flag?" ”

The city gate captain said loudly: "Don't mess up, it's Zhao Taishou who is back, don't make a noise, if something bad happens, you will not be spared." ”

Hearing him say this, the riot on the city walls subsided.

A soldier timidly asked, "Why did Mrs. Zhao return at night?" ”

was slapped in the face by the captain of the city gate: "Is this what you should ask?" ”

The soldier covered his face, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and he dared to hang his head angrily.

As he spoke, the soldiers in the distance approached, and in the heavy firelight, a red background raised a flag, and there was a faint Zhao character on it.

"Open the gates." The city gate captain said, "If it is a big deal, investigate it, and kill you first." ”

The soldiers in the city hesitated for a moment, saw him raise his hand again, and hurried down the city to give the order to open the door.

Lian Zhen folded his hands and squinted at this farce-like scene.

The gate creaked open a crack, and then the gap slowly widened.

The people under the city crossed the drawbridge over the moat and slowly entered the urn city, and Lianzhen saw a familiar face in front of the procession.

As the soldiers walked into Weng City, even the joy on the town's face could not be suppressed.

He glanced at the city captain, and as he was about to leave, he noticed a tall man standing beside him.

Seeing that he froze, the man turned his head and gave him a friendly smile.

After Lian Zhen lost his mind for a moment, his face turned pale like a ghost.

The captain of the city gate stood behind him at some point, his hand on his shoulder, and a big grin.

"What are you doing......" Lianzhen's entourage was about to attack.

The soldier who had run down earlier and ordered the soldier to come back at some point put his arms around the attendant's neck and twisted his hand casually.

A crisp click sounded, and the retinue fell as soft as a cloth bag.

The soldier touched his face, walked to the side of the city gate captain and whispered: "Wait for your kid to die, you dare to beat Naigong!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey." The dark-skinned Captain let out a silly laugh.

Lian Zhen looked up in despair, only to find that the soldiers who had been yawning just now were all standing behind the female wall, holding crossbows in their hands.

And in the distance, the sound of thunder and horses' hooves approached.

……

"Hey, I don't know if Lian Gong's action went smoothly." One of the people in the restaurant frowned.

In the past, he should have slept on a soft pillow in a hot bed, but now he had to sit upright in this leaky and dilapidated house, and some people were already dissatisfied.

Lian Zhe glanced at the man and did not speak.

Steward Ding stood up and said, "I'll take a look." ”

Lian Zhe snorted in his nose, now that the matter is halfway through, Steward Ding is no longer so important.

Wang Jin didn't know what he was thinking, so he also stood up and said, "I'll go with Brother Ding." ”

Steward Ding glanced at him inexplicably, walked out first with an expressionless face, and Wang Jin followed.

Shortly after they left, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.

Lian Zhe looked forward to it, turned his head to look, and a guard pushed the door in.

Lian Zhe wanted to ask if it was done, so he heard the guard say, "Oh no! A lot of people came from outside and surrounded the yard. ”

Lian Zhe was stunned on the spot: "Impossible, impossible." How would anyone know we were here. ”

The guard's words made everyone present panic, and they all stood up and ran outside, only to find that the courtyard gate was blocked from the outside.

For a while, the courtyard was filled with noisy sounds.

Lian Zhe stepped on the shoulders of the guards and climbed onto the courtyard wall, and his heart suddenly felt like falling into an ice cave.
