Chapter Twenty-Nine: Liangdu
Cool capital
Don't go out lately.
In the backyard, Pei Shuyi sneakily released a pigeon.
The fluttering sound drew a chirping and shouting, "What are you doing?" ”
Pei Shuyi squinted at her, "The girl let the geese be released." ”
Chirp shone with a lantern, and the goose cage and rabbit cage were open.
Tang Jing grabbed two geese in one hand and rabbit legs in the other.
The small animals are all fed, and they are reluctant to leave, and they are too lazy to struggle when they are caught.
Except for the eye-born pigeon, which was strangled and thrown to the ground.
"This fat pigeon makes pigeon soup for the girl."
Chirp happily carried the pigeon and left.
When everyone was far away, Pei Shuyi took a big breath.
She squatted on the ground and searched for a quarter of an hour, and finally found the note in the flowers.
"Why are you still here?"
Chirp looked puzzled, "Catching insects at night?" ”
Pei Shuyi's throat rolled, turned around and said, "My things have dropped." ”
Stand up, still holding a bell in your hand.
He snorted as he walked past him.
Chirp stared at her back and clenched his fists.
Tian Yunyun came out of the shadows, wondering in her heart, "The prince's people? ”
And how much can you believe Tang Jing's words?
Tian Yunyun looked at the direction of the palace wall in the distance and sighed silently.
*
The crown prince walked into the concubine's dormitory and saw a woman kneeling on the ground.
She sobbed and slapped herself.
The prince leaned back lazily in his chair,
"Concubine, let me come over, it's up to you to punish the palace maid?"
"It's not pleasing to the eye, and it's killed."
The woman was so frightened that she lay on the ground and shouted, "Concubine Niangniang spare her life!" Spare your life! ”
Guifei: "Who told you to stop?" ”
The two palace maids immediately stepped forward and dragged her up, slapping her in the face one left and one right.
The red and swollen face immediately swollen like a pig's head.
"This abominable concubine."
The concubine glanced at her armor, "Now it's the Jue noble." ”
Jue Guiren cried and shouted: "Niangniang, I am also thinking about Niangniang!" ”
The concubine had a mocking smile on her face, and the expression on her face was fierce.
"You took it upon yourself to kill Tian Niangzi, so that our mother and son would turn against each other. What a plan to kill two birds with one stone. ”
"Wronged, wronged!" Jue Guiren pulled the wound, but he didn't dare to cry out in pain.
The prince raised his hand impatiently, "It's noisy." ”
The two palace maids who slapped looked at the concubine's eyes and stopped.
The prince sat up straight and flicked the dust that didn't exist,
"I've seen enough of the play, let's deal with this ugly thing quickly!"
Guifei: "If you don't do it yet, are you deaf?" ”
Jue Guiren grabbed the precious carpet on the ground in a panic, and shook off the person who was clamping her arm.
"The concubine spare her life! I'm still useful, Your Majesty loves to watch me sing, hmm. ”
The prince walked out, and the miserable screams came to an abrupt end.
He felt refreshed, but he hated himself at the same time.
Every time I go to the study when I'm in a bad mood, I will soon calm down my irritable mood.
Looking at the vivid woman in the painting, he wondered what she would do outside the palace.
*
Tian Yunyun has been standing in this posture for a long time.
The heavy cloak fell on her shoulders before she came back to her senses.
She sighed silently, and went back to the house to lie on the bed, but she couldn't sleep.
Why does her mother have the wealth of the country?
Daddy nibbled on steamed buns and didn't want to use what her mother left behind.
Tian Yunyun felt distressed in her heart.
Parents are loving, fathers are kind and filial to daughters, but only the mother who lives in memory is missing.
Don't spend the things that your mother left her.
The Zhuangzi left to her is also slowly getting on the right track.
Tian Yunyun couldn't sleep, so she simply found out her silver ticket and silver points.
The news of her counting money in the middle of the night soon reached the ears of Tian Fuzi.
"Little Liuzi, gather the old department."
Uncle Liu bowed respectfully, "Yes." ”
One night, the man in black walked on the rubble and delivered letter after letter.
King Jing sent someone to send back a letter quickly, and the front line was in urgent need of food and medicine.
Half a month has passed since the messenger arrived and delivered the letter to the palace.
For a time, the people were in an uproar, and the grain harvest was not harvested due to the natural disaster last year, and the grain that had been saved had already been transported to the front line.
Where to find ready-made food?
Most of the time this battle will not be able to be fought.
His Majesty the Emperor followed the advice of his ministers and summoned the vassal king, who had already gone to the fiefdom, to return.
The mother family of the vassal king is strong, and her ability is about to catch up with the former prince, but the prince's position has not yet been secured, and he has killed another opponent.
The situation between the DPRK and China is bound to change.
After retiring from the court, Zhang Shilang was left behind by His Majesty.
A carrier pigeon landed on the roof of the hugging house where Pei Shuyi lived.
— Goo —
Pei Shuyi opened the door, raised her hand, and landed the pigeon on her hand.
She glanced around, quickly entered the house and closed the door.
After a few breaths, the door opened again.
She walked briskly towards the west wing where Tian Yunyun lived.
knocked on the door and pushed the door in without waiting for an answer.
Get down on your knees and raise your hands above your head, palms of your hands on an unfolded note.
Tian Yunyun glanced at her and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
Pei Shuyi: "News from the palace." ”
Tian Yunyun walked over and picked up the note, "There are no outsiders who don't need to kneel." ”
"King Jing said that there is a shortage of grain and grass and needs my help?" There was confusion in his tone, and he was relieved in an instant.
The dividends of the past two years were sent to Yan Kuanji and Tang Qibai, and he probably knew how much grain was stored in Jingchangzhuang.
Moreover, Fude County is two days away from Liangdu.
Tian Yunyun thought for a moment and immediately decided to go.
King Jing's second letter arrived a few days after her departure.
The battle on the front line was far more tragic than everyone imagined.
The war horses in the city have all been eaten, and the Dada side is about the same.
The siege once every half a month became ten days, and then once every three days, and the battle became more and more intense.
Tian Yunyun hurriedly returned to Fude County ten days later.
The first time I rode a horse, I drove such a heavenly road, and I got off the horse and was hugged by Tang Jing.
The pain of biting the drill heart immediately called You Zhuangtou.
"Load all the sweet potatoes, potatoes, chestnut rice, and flour in the warehouse, and prepare some medicinal herbs."
You Zhuangtou didn't ask anything, and arranged to go.
In the middle of the night, Tang Jing came back and said that it was enough for five days.
The peasants happily carried bags of grain onto the carts.
guessed that Tian Niangzi was going to buy land to expand Zhuangzi again.
As for what to eat, they are not worried.
The cold storage is not only stocked with meat, but also fruits and vegetables.
Early the next morning, I saw that the grain trucks that were stacked more than one person high were gone.
On the way to Liangdu, a team of well-equipped soldiers escorted the food.
The country of Qianqiu, the country of cold, and the country of spring are like three circles together.
It is necessary to go straight from Jindu to Liangdu through Chunlinguo, and it is impossible to transport military salaries from other countries.
On the contrary, Fude County is the closest to the Cold Netherworld, but it is only about to climb over the mountains.
Tian Yunyun didn't want to expose the system.
A soldier hurried to report the news.
Liangdu City
The yellow sand was everywhere, and the ragged people sent the bark of the trees to the barracks.
He has been without food for two days, and he has eaten everything he can eat.
If the city is broken, the city will be slaughtered, and the vitality of both sides in this battle will be greatly damaged, and the slaughter of the city is the best supply for the enemy.
The old man in the city remembered the tragic situation thirty years ago, and his heart palpitated.
There were corpses everywhere inside and outside the city, and only broken walls remained.
Liangdu, which has only recovered for so many years, is about to experience a catastrophe.
The people in the city, Mu Ran, took up arms and vowed to live and die with Liangdu.
Tang Qibai stood on the city wall wearing battle armor, looking at the shouting soldiers in the distance.
"Newspaper~"
The crowd looked back and saw a soldier galloping towards him on horseback.
Tang Qibai walked down quickly, helped him and asked, "The imperial court is sending grain?" ”
The soldier fell to his knees, "No! ”
When the people and soldiers who came over to support each other heard this, they all seemed to have unloaded all their strength.
The soldier suddenly slapped himself, leaving everyone stunned.
"The people of the court didn't come, but others came." He only thought he was the stupidest, so he turned around and snorted.
I saw three men on mules coming this way.
The people craned their necks to look at two women and a man, one with two burdens.
Where is there a place to hide food?
Pei Shuyi threw the burden on the ground, "Hemostasis, antipyretic medicine." ”
If you can't eat enough, what's the use of medicine?
The lieutenant was disappointed and shouted:
"What about the grain? Just send such a sick and crooked person to perfunctory, even women to make up the numbers. ”
Woo~
The trumpets sounded, and the people were like a great enemy.
A squad of archers quickly ascended the city walls.
Tang Jing turned over and dismounted, half-kneeling and said, "See Your Highness, your majesty is fortunate not to be dishonored." ”
Tang Qibai breathed a sigh of relief, "Get up!" You're doing a great job, go down and rest! ”
Tang Jing: "Please send someone with me to receive food." ”
Tang Qibai waved his hand, and all his guards stood up.
He turned back and said, "Adjutant stay!" ”
The onlookers watched from afar.
I saw a group of soldiers escorting thirty carts of grain.
The people welcomed them.
For a while, morale was greatly boosted.
The people knelt on the ground and said in unison: "His Royal Highness King Jing is wise! ”
King Jing raised his hand, "The supplies from the imperial court will arrive in a few days, and everyone needs to work together to fight the enemy." ”
Grain was transported to the garrison battalion.
The well-fed soldiers replaced the soldiers on the city walls.
Tang Qibai glanced at Chirp and Pei Shuyi, who were standing not far away.
He walked over and asked, "Where is Tian Niangzi?" ”
Chirp replied lukewarmly: "The girl has something to do!" ”
"How dare you be disrespectful to His Royal Highness King Jing." The lieutenant drew his sword and was about to move.
Suddenly, the white powder lifted his face.
Pei Shuyi took a few steps back, covered her mouth and nose and let out a few mocking sounds.
Tang Qibai glanced at him sympathetically.
The lieutenant felt top-heavy and rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
Tang Qibai: "The deputy general is too hard, someone will carry him down to rest." ”
"Retreated~"
The soldiers under the city walls faded like a tide.
One archer said incoherently:
"Yes, I shot the little boss. Really hit. ”
He was holding a crossbow in his hand.
Chirp said to Tang Qibai: "This is Tang Jing's modification." ”
The armory book was given by her girl.
And Tian Yunyun and two soldiers secretly lurked not far from the Dada soldier station and poured a lot of medicinal powder into the water source.
The soldiers looked at each other as far away, and they didn't necessarily take the water from here.
Forget it, let the head listen to her.
The two nodded, escorting Tian Yunyun to retreat.
Dada camp tent.
The firehead army stirred the thin soup in the pot with a large shovel.
When I used to take the bucket, a large lump of powder fell into the boiling cauldron and boiled.
A soldier came in and urged: "The meal is not ready?" ”
Firehead: "Alright. ”
During the meal, the soldiers praised the craftsmanship of the firehead army.
The soup was so sweet that I couldn't help but lick the bowl clean.
That night, everyone was rushing to the latrine.
Someone shouted, and the leader, who had collapsed, ran away overnight.
When the others saw this, they threw down their weapons and fled.
Tang Jing, who was standing in the dark, had his teeth cracked at the leader's feet.
Fleeing from the battle has led to the dragons being leaderless, and even if they have mouths, they can't tell clearly.
He didn't drink the soup, and somehow his whole body was weak and unable to move, and his mouth couldn't speak.
One could only watch his warriors desert.
Tang Qibai gave an order, and the soldiers razed the camp to the ground.
With the loot, he returned to Liangdu City.
