1. The cold of spring is still warm Chapter 31 A cauldron
"Oh my God, this wall is so high." Finally arrived at Tongying Mansion, the capital of Zhou Guoguo, and was almost driven crazy by the world without mobile phones, computers, and cigarettes, Zhao Yingqi couldn't help but let out a strange sigh when he sat on the wheel and saw the city wall of Tongying Mansion.
"Yes, sir, this must be almost seven zhang high, almost three zhang higher than the city wall of Nei County." Zhao Tong sat next to Zhao Yingqi and echoed.
"Oh, it's boring." They have arrived at a small town two miles outside the gate of Tongyingfu, the town is mostly a foot hotel, providing cheap accommodation and tips for porters and farmers, and there will also be some shops, basically it is quite prosperous, but for Zhao Yingqi who crossed over, it is indeed boring enough.
"Sir, don't read books anymore, and then call Mr. when Xiaotong finds the inn." Zhao Tong looked around, but seemed to be very interested in these people and things in front of him.
"No, after reading the book for a long time, the back of my neck hurts, I really want to play with the computer and the mobile phone." Zhao Yingqi leaned on Zhao Tong's shoulder, bored and looking at the people coming and going in the town.
Zhao Tong stretched out a hand on Zhao Yingqi's shoulder, gently kneading Zhao Yingqi's neck, these days, Zhao Tong has become accustomed to some incomprehensible nonsense in Zhao Yingqi's mouth.
At first, Zhao Yingqi was quite novel about this world, but later found that there was nothing new about it, basically no different from the world of his previous life, or no different from the ancient world of the previous life that he knew, of course, the seven-zhang high city wall still gave Zhao Yingqi a little surprise, and it was only a small point.
The city wall, which is equivalent to six or seven stories high in the previous life, made Zhao Yingqi very puzzled how it was built, and what it was built for? Shoot Pacific Rim?
Zhao Tong's kneading on his neck made Zhao Yingqi very comfortable, he yawned a long time, stretched his waist by the way, felt that his soul was evaporated, and a few tears were squeezed out of the corners of his eyes.
"Excuse me, is it Mr. Zhao Yingqi Zhao and Miss Zhao Tong?" A soldier of the Zhou Kingdom stopped Zhao Yingqi's carriage at the entrance of the town, judging from the style of the armor, it should be Ning Wangwei's captain, and the captain who troubled them last time was exactly the same standard armor.
"That's right, in Xia Zhao Yingqi, dare to ask the military master what is the matter?" Zhao Tong grabbed the reins, and Zhao Yingqi jumped down from the wheel and bowed.
"I don't dare to be Mr. Zhao's 'military master', my Royal Highness wants to invite Mr. Zhao to stay in Ning Wang's Mansion, and specially send a lowly post to greet him." The lieutenant hurriedly lowered his waist, and also saluted Zhao Tong, who was sitting on the wheel: "Your Royal Highness entered the palace today to visit Concubine Ning, and I couldn't come to greet Mr. in person, I hope that I can have a banquet for Mr. Zhao and Miss Zhao in the evening, which is both an apology and a reception." ”
"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is too polite, he is in a white body, and he has never met the Four Princes, so he really deserves to be treated like this."
"Mr. Zhao used his soldiers like a god, suppressing the 15,000 elite cavalry of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and rejecting General Li Yuanbai's 30,000 troops behind, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince admired it very much." The lieutenant turned to Zhao Tong again: "Miss Zhao's battle with General Li Yuanbai has already spread all over the world, and the name of the female god of war can be obtained in the world." My Royal Highness has been friends with the two gods for a long time, and I hope that I can give my Royal Highness a chance to get acquainted with the two. ”
Zhao Yingqi groaned slightly, and then agreed, and if he didn't agree, it would be too faceless.
No wonder that Cao County Commander would give his own carriage to Zhao Yingqi, who was waiting for him here.
The captain waited for Zhao Yingqi to get into the carriage, turned over and prepared to lead Zhao Yingqi to the Ning Wangfu of the Fourth Prince.
There was a commotion behind him, and Zhao Yingqi just turned his head to see what was going on, but he heard the captain just now ask Zhao Yingqi to sit for a while, so he rushed to the back and galloped forward.
Zhao Yingqi twisted his neck to look very uncomfortable, so he simply stood up on the wheel, looked over the carriage carport, and saw that there were two people in the town behind him confronting each other.
Look at the group of generals who are holding the flags of the most people, isn't that the flag of the three princes?
It turned out that since Zhao Yingqi left, the second prince issued a road guide for Zhao Yingqi, and immediately began to organize troops to attack Chunnei Road, Zhao Yingqi and Zhao Tong were not there, the Zhou army had Li Yuanbai and Zhang Han two major head masters in charge, more than a dozen second-class masters, the position of the Shuo army was drummed down, and the Zhou army went straight into Chunnei Road.
After Guan Zhengnong sent Zhao Yingqi away, he felt that Chunnei Road was not safe, and he had already prepared to evacuate with the main force early, and saved a considerable number of troops for Shuoguo, and was currently holding Qiaotou Town.
Things in the world are so weird, the same position in the hands of Zhao Yingqi made Li Yuanbai feel that he could not take it unless 50,000 people, but in the hands of Guan Zhengnong, he didn't even have the courage to fight a wave head-on.
The third prince hurriedly led his troops to Guannei Road, but found that the second prince had taken the inner county and was marching into Jia County.
Now it happens that the third prince led his personal guards to return to Tongying Mansion in advance, and the third prince is extremely conceited, and now he has fought a big victory in the Jin country, which is the time when his heart is high.
happened to meet the guards sent by the four princes to find Zhao Yingqi, and the two sides had some conflicts, and they confronted each other in the town outside the city of Tongyingfu.
Zhao Yingqi looked at the two groups of people behind him with interest, riding on a white horse, wearing cyan armor, and the yellow Yingluo on the helmet was more than a foot long, looking like a big cucumber, very coquettish, it should be the third prince.
There were only a dozen of the four princes' personal guards, and they were looking for Zhao Yingqi outside the city, but they didn't want to meet the three princes who happened to return to the dynasty victoriously.
Next to the third prince, a middle-aged man wearing only light armor leaned around the third prince and talked for a long time, seemingly persuading the third prince.
But he didn't persuade him, the third prince waved back the middle-aged man, and began to order loudly: "These people dare to stop this king, and they are still picking quarrels and provoking trouble here. ”
At this time, the middle-aged man was also a little anxious, and his voice raised slightly: "Your Highness, now in Tongying Mansion, Your Majesty's birthday is coming, so don't make any extraneous branches, let's enter the city quickly." ”
"How can it be said that it is extraordinary, this king was ordered to go on the expedition, and now he has not handed over the order, and he is still on the march, these dozen people dare to block my army, and this king has not put them on the spot to correct the law is already an extrajudicial grace." The third prince was not only saying to his disciples, but also to the people present, and more to the fourth prince's personal guards: "Don't take it yet, wait for me to do it myself?" ”
With the wave of the whip of the third prince's horse, more than 20 cavalrymen in the three princes' personal guards dismounted and walked towards a dozen of the four princes' personal guards.
The lieutenant under the fourth prince quietly sent someone to the city.
At the same time, the guards of the four princes don't want to sit still, if the people of the three princes make some small tricks to hit these thirty boards, they are afraid that the death will be light on the spot, and if they fall into a disabled and dark disease, this life will be ruined.
The two sides couldn't help pushing and shoving between arrest and resistance, and I don't know which side moved first, and they fought on the spot.
However, this is outside the Tongying Mansion, at the emperor's feet, and people on both sides also understand that there is a degree, there is no real knife and real gunfire, but only the back of the knife or the sheath knife is used to hit each other.
There were few guards under the four princes, and soon some of them couldn't resist, and they fought and retreated, and some of them were scattered and stubbornly resisted, and the scope of the on-site conflict gradually increased.
Approaching the New Year, there are a lot of traders in the town who are doing business, there are large and small stalls, because of the conflict on both sides, many stalls have been affected by the pond fish, although the Zhou people are strong, but the merchants who are begging for life at the feet of the emperor can still know who can provoke and who can not be provoked, in the face of the conflict between the two princes, they can only hide aside, and then go over to clean up their overturned stalls after they are finished.
As for how much can be left, it can only be determined by the destiny of heaven.
Zhao Yingqi didn't want to get involved in the fight between the two princes, but just stood on the wheel with the mentality of watching a play and watched the people on both sides beat each other.
The third prince sat on his own tall horse, watching his guards drive the four princes' subordinates all over the street and was quite happy, a cowhide horsewhip gently struck on the leather glove of his left hand, making a snapping sound, and from time to time he talked and laughed with his subordinates around him, as for his doorman, watching this scene from the side, his brows furrowed slightly.
Zhao Yingqi also felt sad for that doorman, this is the position, whether you are firm in your position or not, it is difficult for you to change it anyway.
When Zhao Yingqi was thinking wildly, the captain who came to find Zhao Yingqi at the beginning was besieged by the three subordinates of the third prince, and slowly retreated to the west of the road.
The captain is also a third-class martial artist, so he won't be beaten like this by three minions, but the main owner is not here, even if he puts these three minions down, what can he do?
Slowly, the lieutenant retreated to a haggis stall, the owner of which was a middle-aged woman, and a pot of hot haggis soup in winter was very tempting, and the stove was set on a wooden cart.
This is probably all the woman depends on for a living, but at this time it has become a talisman, she did not hide like other vendors, but just stood by her soup pot to pack up her things and leave here, when the four captains came, they hurriedly used the thick cloth in their hands to hold the cauldron.
The lieutenant was forced to the side of the pot by the three of them and hit the cauldron twice, and the white bone broth was spilled out, and some of the boiling soup was spilled on the woman's hand, causing some blisters, but his hand was still holding on to the cauldron.
A teenage boy ran out on the side of the road, helping the woman to hold the cauldron together, this should be a pair of mother and son, the woman whispered urging the little boy to quickly hide aside, and prayed weakly: "A few military masters, do well, go to the side to fight, my orphans and widows rely on this pot to eat." The woman's words were as weak as a wounded "" croaking, but she was still holding on to the cauldron in her hands.
The lieutenant also had the heart to the side, don't bring disaster to the hard-working mother and son, but another officer under the third prince rushed over and kicked the lieutenant with a heartwarming kick.
Zhao Yingqi looked at the cart that had been crumbling after being hit a few times, and a lot of charcoal fell out under the stove, and some ashes fell to the ground and shattered.
Alas...
With a sigh, Zhao Yingqi finally rushed forward.
