Chapter 164: The Imperial Army
The middle-aged man explained to her very enthusiastically: "The official family has released the news, saying that the imperial army will come to our Tongxian County today, and everyone is waiting to watch?" ”
"The army? What army? She asked, confused.
The strong man next to the middle-aged man obviously came with the middle-aged man, and he answered unceremoniously: "The girl doesn't know, the rear is in chaos now, and there is a fight, I heard that the imperial court sent 20,000 troops south to quell the rebellion." ”
Speaking of this, the man's face was quite excited, and when he saw that she nodded in understanding, he couldn't help but start to talk at length: "I heard that the leader was the general of the Zhenbei Army back then, General Zhao. ”
The middle-aged man next to him answered: "What a general, he is now the regent." This tomb king is a very brave and warlike figure, when he swept thousands of armies with the strength of one person, can be described as a generation of heroes. ”
When a young man not far from the rear heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "The two uncles are really bragging about not paying taxes, since they are regents, why do they need to go into battle to kill the enemy in person?" ”
When the man saw that someone questioned himself, his face was slightly unhappy, but he couldn't refute it, and couldn't help but say stupidly: "That's unknown, but what I heard is indeed like that." ”
Shen Qing didn't squeak, and quietly listened to the heated arguments between these people.
She stood for a moment, feeling weak in her legs and feet, and just as she was about to go home, she heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from far and near.
The people at the scene suddenly burst into cheers: "It's coming...... Here comes ......".
Affected by the emotions of the masses, Shen Qing couldn't help but stop and watch, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a team coming from the other side of the street.
The flag was held high and fluttered in the air......
The people were overwhelmed by this momentum, and all of a sudden the surroundings fell silent, and the people standing on both sides of the street watched with bated breath.
Shen Qing stood in place and watched silently, and soon, an infantry group walked past them, followed by a cavalry force.
A tall man in golden armor rode a mighty white horse in the center, surrounded by banners.
The knights on either side of him were all sturdy.
The white horse walked straight high, and the general on horseback was wearing gold armor and straight, heroic and majestic, and it was not difficult to see that this person was the commander of the army.
Shen Qing looked over from a distance, and saw that this person had sharp eyes and a cold face, and he was a character who was not easy to mess with.
The rear is accompanied by thousands of soldiers, stepping on a uniform military march, and the momentum is majestic......
Shen Qing, who was standing in the crowd, looked unusually small, she stopped quietly and looked at it for a while, and then she felt weak under her feet, and it was difficult to support it anymore.
She knew that once the army left, the people would immediately disperse, and under the surging crowd, her legs and feet would be inconvenient, and she would definitely be more passive.
Some dangers were predictable, and thinking of this, she silently turned around and slowly walked out of the crowd with a cane.
People flocked to the official road to see the bustle, and these small streets and alleys seemed very deserted.
Standing for too long, her calves were weak, and Shen Qing had more difficulty walking than when she came, and she carefully walked in the direction of her home with the help of two crutches.
Halfway down the road, a woman came out of a dark alley and walked beside her, and when she saw her standing on crutches, she couldn't help but look at her sideways.
Soon the woman went ahead of her.
Shen Qing struggled to follow the woman, the distance between the two became farther and farther, walking and walking, a demonic wind blew in her face, and she couldn't help but bend over and cough.
The crutches in her hand got stuck in a crack in the middle of the road, and she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
When the woman in front of her heard the commotion, she quickly turned around and helped her up.
After Shen Qing thanked the woman, he walked more carefully.
The woman who walked in front of her did not seem to be at ease, and looked back at her frequently, and she smiled back, and the smile was as beautiful as a flower.
Second sister-in-law Lu was stunned for a moment, she didn't know that there was such a beautiful character in this world, and a smile could hook away people's souls.
I'm afraid that the appearance of the gods sung in the play is nothing more than that.
She wanted to step forward and say a few polite words, but she saw the woman turn around with difficulty and walk towards the courtyard of the Namu family.
This time, Second Sister-in-law Lu couldn't hold back any longer, so she leaned in curiously, supported her with one hand, and asked, "The girl's face is tight, is she from this Mu family?" ”
"Hmm." Shen Qing nodded: "I've been living here for a while, but my legs and feet are inconvenient, and I rarely go out." ”
Second sister-in-law Lu nodded: "Yes, I am familiar with this neighborhood, but I have never seen the girl, but I know the mistress of the Mu family, Hui Juan." ”
Hearing this, Shen Qing was stunned for a moment, and then heard the woman ask, "Are you Hui Juan's sister-in-law?" I've heard her say that her husband's sister has trouble moving. ”
knew that Lu Huijuan lied in front of the neighbors...... A person, after telling the first lie, has to make up more lies to fulfill the lie.
Shen Qing didn't want to bother talking, so he didn't pierce her.
Second sister-in-law Lu saw her nodding, her face showed a strange look, and she raised her eyes to look at her twice, and then, she enthusiastically introduced to Shen Qing:
"I live on the opposite street, my husband's surname is Lu, he is the second child in the family, everyone calls me Lu's second sister-in-law, and you can also call me a second sister-in-law."
This second sister-in-law Lu is obviously a self-acquaintance, Shen Qing nodded, and also said: "My surname is Shen, and my single name is a green character." ”
Hearing this, Second Sister-in-law Lu froze again.
"This ...... Why is one surnamed Mu and the other surnamed Shen, aren't they brother and sister? ”
Shen Qing smiled: "This is a long story, thank you second sister-in-law." ”
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Lu's second sister-in-law held her by the hand and sent her to the door and left.
Shen Qing pushed open the courtyard door, stepped into the courtyard with a cane, and just turned around and closed the courtyard door, Mu Xiu inside heard the movement and rushed out of the hall.
He looked nervous, grabbed her arms with both hands, and asked, "Where have you been?" ”
Shen Qing was shocked by the look on his face: "I...... I'm out for a walk......"
Mu Xiu hugged her in his arms, and with his movements, a pair of crutches in Shen Qing's hands fell to the ground:
"I thought you were gone......
As she said this, Mu Xiu encircled her whole body in his arms, and buried his bearded face in her neck.
Shen Qing was not used to such closeness, she stretched out her hand to push him away, and when she turned her head, she smelled the wine in his mouth, and immediately panicked: "Brother Shen, ......have you been drinking?" ”
"Well, I'm in a bad mood and drank a little." Mu Xiu responded, and his arms hugged her tighter and tighter.
He was tall, just standing like this already gave people a sense of oppression, and being encircled by him at this moment, Shen Qing suddenly realized a crisis.
