XVI. Immediate Events

The men and horses rushed to the city wall like a tidal wave.

This is the first time I can't remember the tide, the blood stains on the city wall are like countless waves lapping, and the human waves have also gone from the original outside the zhang, to the city wall, and now they have reached the city wall, and the piled corpses have become a ladder to climb.

The soldiers who rushed up to the city wall were like giants, even if they didn't have weapons in their hands, they could knock down two or three Zhou soldiers with a wave of their arms.

But soon, four or five Zhou soldiers would pounce.

If three can't deal with a wastelander, then four or five.

The Deserters let out a roar and fell to the ground.

Again and again, when the sunset vanished, the few remaining soldiers roared, and this time instead of rushing up, they turned and ran towards the edge of the twilight.

They let out a terrible roar, and the strange tune seemed to mourn their dead companions and warn others.

"Don't come here, don't come here."

"There's a fierce devil here, and there's an endless abyss."

"Dead souls, come back home with me."

"Don't look back, don't look back."

A familiar veteran of the Razor on the city wall shouted out the words of the Razor Soldier hoarsely, and then let out a loud laugh: "Run, turtle grandchildren! Get out of here, don't come again—"

He wanted to sing something, but a violent cough made him slump and bleed from the mottled wound on his body.

He turned around with a slump of words.

"Brethren, we kept—"

He turned to the silence of his voice, and on the walls where the fighting had stopped, the fire was burning, and the corpses were piled up, but there were only a dozen brothers still alive.

Some stood with weapons attached, others leaned against corpses.

"Six generals—" The veteran shouted, looking at the general sitting on the corpse.

Liang Liuzi hung his shoulders and hung his head, holding a long knife with a broken section in both hands, sitting on the corpse of the desolate soldier, motionless.

As the veteran shouted, the other surviving guards rushed to Liang Liuzi's side, the burning fire shining on their grief-stricken faces.

"Not dead yet." Liang Liuzi said, took a deep breath, and slowly raised his head.

The guards who gathered around immediately smiled, tears glistening in their eyes.

"Little Liuzi, you're scared of me." The veteran scolded even more unceremoniously.

"What's there to be afraid of when you're dead?" Liang Liuzi said, "Old Sun, you are also a long time old, and you have never seen a dead person."

I've seen it, especially in the past few years, Lao Sun looked at the corpses around him, and the people lying here were all comrades who were talking and laughing together a moment ago.

No matter how many dead people are seen, every time they see them, their hearts are still like knives.

Liang Liuzi held the half-cut knife, slowly stood up, looked at the deserters fleeing in front of him, and then looked behind him, there seemed to be stars falling on the ground in the night in the distance behind him, which was the city and village in the north.

In the distance, there is a brighter night that cannot be seen.

He cracked his mouth and smiled.

"Biography, good news." He said, "Beizhaikou is safe and secure."

The guards shouted in unison, "Good news!" "Good news!"

......

......

After a few spring rains, the sun is shining, and the narrow hall of the Yamen in the capital is a little stuffy.

"It's bitter." One official complained, "It's cold in winter, hot in summer, and sunny in autumn, and now I don't even have a few days of comfortable days in spring." ….

Another official sighed as he placed a stack of freshly delivered letters on the table.

"Being a ruler is the life of a cow or a horse." He said, "Stop complaining, go to work, or you'll be scolded again."

The complaining official looked at the letters and newspapers that were piled up on the table again, and his face was sad: "Why are there so many, I really don't want to live."

Having said that, several officials still started to sort out the letters.

"It's all the same thing." An official said that he was not interested in reading it just by looking at the beginning, and fanned the wind with a letter.

Another official suddenly shouted, "The Northern Navy has good news."

The other officials asked curiously, "What good news?"

I haven't heard of a war with any other, and the four seas are peaceful.

The official had already opened it and looked at it, and let out a laugh: "The Northern Navy, it is said that the barren people came to intrude and repelled them."

Isn't that how it should be? The surrounding officials lost interest.

"Is this worth the good news?" An official looked clear and pointed to the paperwork, "Let's see, do you want money?"

The official stroked his palm and laughed, "That's right, it really is." He looked at the document and read, "The city defense is urgent, please allocate the funds for the protection of the Great Wall as soon as possible."

The officials in the hall laughed and shook their heads, "We've seen a lot of this kind of trick."

But there seem to be people who don't know, and some voices are curious and ask, "What trick?"

"What trick? Are you new here? I don't know that—" said one of the officials impatiently, turning his head to see that it was the fool.

The black clothes are shining with gold threads.

The official suddenly gasped and hiccuped, and the person also kicked backwards and retreated, hitting the other officials, and the other officials also turned around, and when they saw the comer, they also retreated.

There was a momentary freeze in the hall.

Zhu Chuan looked at the officials huddled together, blinked, and asked, "What is it?" I'm new here, I don't know."

An official finally came back to his senses and hurriedly smiled and saluted, "Lord Zhu, are you here?" What are the commands?" He hurriedly pointed inward, "I'll take you to meet Lord Squire."

If there's any trouble, let the squire-sama take care of it.

But Zhu Chuan raised his hand and pressed his shoulder.

"I didn't tell you, so I passed by and came in to see." He said, "What trick? Tell me, don't be embarrassed, do you want me to take you back to the Governor?"

It was fatal, and the official did not hesitate to say, "It's a boast of merit, and those who serve as soldiers like to play this little trick."

If you want to die, die on the spot.

He finished speaking in one breath and handed the letter to him, tense himself.

Zhu Chuan took it and looked at it, laughed, and patted him on the shoulder with a letter: "Yes, yes, this is really a little clever."

With that, he threw down the letter and turned to leave.

The people in the hall waited until they could no longer see this person in their sight, and they didn't see the black pressure of the Metropolitan Inspector Guards rushing in to arrest people, and waited until the other officials in the courtyard walked around, curiously asking why they all stood still and didn't speak, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

It's okay, it's okay.

"It's going to be fine." One of the officials woke up at this point, "You forgot? Beam.... Then who was born in the Northern Navy, this is the trace he wants to erase the most."

Naturally, they will not trouble them for ridiculing the Northern Navy. ….

Maybe you will have to take the opportunity to trouble the Northern Navy.

The officials in the hall were relieved.

"Quick, work." "Send them to the divisions that are divided."

The Yamen of the Ministry of War resumed his daily busyness, and Zhu Chuan also returned to the Metropolitan Inspectorate and reported the Beihai Jie report to Huo Lian.

"It seems that the Great Wall of the Border should indeed be repaired, and the fighting has become more and more frequent in the past two years." Zhu Chuan whispered.

Huo Lian hummed, did not speak, only looked at the table in front of him, on the table was placed a scroll of records, which was placed in a stake in an official's house, recording the private words that the official said in bed at night, he needed to find useful information from it, and then memorize it in his head, and take it out when the emperor needed it at a certain moment.

Zhu Chuan hesitated for a moment, and said again, "Why don't you say something?"

He may not know the clever tricks of being a soldier, but as a former border guard, he knows very well the tricks of the officials above, and if a thing is in their hands, what can be done immediately will drag on for a year, as if it will be done immediately if it is not delayed, which does not reflect their importance.

[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books, change the source, and install the latest version.] 】

Hearing this, Huo Lian raised her head and looked at Zhu Chuan with a pair of deep eyes.

"I speak?" He said, "Have you forgotten who I am?"

He reached out and brushed his robe lightly.

"We are the Yin soldiers in the eyes of the world, and when I speak, I will die."

Zhu Chuan hurriedly squeezed out a smile: "I'm laughing." didn't wait for Huo Lian to speak again, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Dudu, Liu Yan is out of Beijing."

Huo Lian sighed.

He can't leave the capital easily with this status, and Liu Yan is the same.

Now out of Beijing....

"Looks like the thing he's in charge of staring at has begun."
