……

On the ninth day of the first month of March, the Han army approached Huanglong Mansion and launched a fierce attack before the defenders could react.

The negligent defenders of Huanglongfu had never seen such a battle, and in the first round of artillery bombardment of the Han army, together with the defending officers, they scattered like ants on a hot pot.

The Taishou Obilong, who guarded the Huanglong Mansion, fled directly from the north gate to the Jingshi, and in an instant, the Huanglong Mansion was full of fleeing figures inside and outside.

In only half a day, the Han army occupied the outer city of Huanglongfu, and scattered resistance could not stop their advance at all.

At the same time, the news of the arrival of the Han army to Huanglong Mansion reached the capital, which instantly caused an uproar on all sides.

In a teahouse on the street, a group of aristocrats carrying birdcages teased the birds while chatting with their "colleagues" around them.

"Yo, did you hear that? Dongyi broke through the Huanglong Mansion, and it was separated by a wall from our capital. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I have a million golden soldiers, how can I have this ability?"

"It's true, the day before yesterday, my uncle just entered Beijing, saying that Dongyi had broken through Xinzhou City, and hundreds of thousands of Wang Divisions were wiped out, and our Dajin had met an opponent at this time!"

"It's really outrageous the more you talk about it, Dongyi is really so powerful? Hundreds of thousands of troops will be destroyed if you say they will be destroyed? Hey, you might as well change the story. ”

"That's it, your relatives are eighty percent scared of Dongyi, so they talk nonsense, if you want me to say, there is really such a big thing, why is there no movement in the court?"

"Hey, my good brother, alas, can the court tell you such a shameful thing? What's more, let's say how good our face is, can you know? ”

"Well, don't talk nonsense, don't you see that there are a lot of fresh faces inside and outside our capital? As soon as I heard the talk, the authentic Huanglongfu accent, this can't be fake, I look at this matter, eight or nine are not far from ten, it's really not good, I asked my godfather Li Gonggong, who was on an errand in the palace, to know. ”

In the teahouse, you talk about the general trend of the world, and there is no awareness of hidden dangers at all.

In the Qinglou on another street, there are many nobles in the capital, watching the Oiran perform on the stage comfortably.

At this time, one of them said to the outsider on the side: "Have you heard, Dongyi has broken through Huanglong Mansion, Master Jia, aren't you in a hurry?" ”

"What's the hurry? When the sky falls, the court will support us, what do you care? ”

"I've been restless these days, what if Dongyi hits Jingshi, what should we do?"

"What are you afraid of? If you really want to enter the capital, won't there be a Beijing army in the way? Something can't happen! ”

"But I'm just worried, in the past half a month, the prices of all walks in the city have doubled, and if it goes on like this, in case ...... Why don't you prepare for the back road? ”

"Wang Yuanwai, you are so good? Don't worry, Dajin Kingdom can't die, let Dongyi jump if they want to jump, wait for this hurdle, Dajin is still Dajin, we won't be affected by the slightest bit in our days, listen to the music, I'll be Dong today, which girl do you open. ”

"Oh, how can you let Master Jia break the bank? Okay, with Master Jia's words, our hearts will be at ease. ”

In addition to these bustling areas, in the corner of the capital that no one pays attention to, there is a smoke house......

"Comfortable, this Fushou ointment is really getting harder and harder."

A mentally depressed boy yawned, put the cigarette gun in his hand on the coffee table, and then took a sip of the teacup and leaned against the wall behind him.

Around him, there were boys and brothers who were lying on their sides and sucking Fushou ointment.

Dajin explicitly banned the entry of Fushou ointment, and even forbade the gentry and nobles to smoke it.

However, the huge profits of Fushou paste are enough to make people take risks, even if the imperial court repeatedly reaffirms it, there are still many people who quietly bring this poison into the capital and hand it over to the head snake for underground trading.

The young man was confused for a while, and then said: "I heard that my uncle said that Dongyi is about to enter the city, everyone hurry up and take a few more puffs, maybe this broken smoke house will be gone in a few days." ”

These words immediately aroused the sideways eyes of the surrounding addicts.

"What kind of are you talking about?"

"What do you mean you haven't smoked?"

"Who dares to break the uncle's longevity ointment, Lao Tzu has to fight hard with him."

"Yo Third Master, why are you so stubborn now? It's hard to see you go to bed on weekdays, but you dare to have a hard time with Dongyi? ”

"Who made us nobles? My ancestor is a hero who opened up the territory for Dajin, just Dongyi, as long as the uncle and I come out, he will definitely come and go! ”

"Come on, don't blow it, if it's really the day comes, I'm sure you'll be the first to be scared, maybe I'll take your mother-in-law to honor Dongyi."

"Whew! Two stunned, are you looking for a pump? If you don't accept it, let's go out and practice, and let you see the methods of the masters. ”

"Okay, you're bold, go, go out and practice."

A few people were just about to get up and go to the yard to compare, when a shopkeeper wearing a headscarf and a rough face walked out with a ledger: "A few masters, I want to compare you to go home, our pipe is small, and we can't accommodate a few people.

I came here today to ask you to settle this cigarette money, oops, it's been more than a month, and the trumpet really can't stand it. ”

When the young man heard this, he immediately put on a rogue posture: "I said that the shopkeeper Tang, you are getting bolder and bolder, you dare to ask us for money like this?" Are we people who are short of money? ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Yo, that master, you are also here, we know that all of you are people with heads and faces in the capital,

It's just that Dongyi has been rampant recently, and after Jingao Port was controlled by Dongyi, the original price of Fushou paste is rising, and the goods are becoming more and more difficult to enter.

Today, a few people will no longer settle the cigarette money, and the trumpet can only close the door to thank customers, and ask a few people to take care of it. ”

Youth: "Shaote Ma comes to this set, I will give a lot of reward money on weekdays, and I will owe you a few cigarette money?" Tell me how much it is, and go back to my house to get it. ”

The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly: "Then I will thank you first, your cigarette money last month was a total of ......"

As he spoke, he opened the account book and looked at it, and then said: "A total of two hundred and thirty-six taels and two cents, you are an old customer, let's wipe a change for you, and directly give two hundred and thirty taels of silver." ”

"How much?" The young man was taken aback, "I said shopkeeper Wang, you are deceiving me and not knowing how to count, right?" One box of your Fushou paste sells for twenty taels of silver, do you smoke ten boxes a month? ”

"I'm really sorry for you, I won't hide it from you, you came to the trumpet for a total of 27 days last month, and every time you smoked it, it was half a box up.

This is all recorded in the account, it can't be wrong, in fact, the price of Na Fushou paste has been forty-five taels a box since the beginning of this month, and we haven't given you a detailed calculation of this account. ”

When the young man heard this, he scolded himself a few words, and he didn't check the account book, after all, he couldn't understand it, so he simply picked up the cigarette gun and smoked it again, and said while sucking: "Cheng, go to my house at night, wait for me to get a few household items, and I will fill in this account for you." ”

"Then thank you, you're comfortable."

After the shopkeeper Wang finished speaking, he asked other addicts for accounts, and it was a common rhetoric.

The people of the capital were in a kind of deformed feelings for the Han army's attack, and they didn't take it seriously at all.

But inside the palace is different.
