There was a faint shadow on her very beautiful face by the lamplight, but she didn't speak, just nodded silently.

It seems that Mei Niang doesn't like Xiliang people very much, she thought, "It's also troublesome to make wine in winter, why doesn't my sister stop the winery for a few days?" ”

"I think too, but Ah Qian needs money." Mei Niang smiled slightly, "I found a teacher for him, these days I will save up the money, when the spring of the next year comes, don't let him go to the wine shop to help, but also to recognize a few words, wouldn't it be good?" ”

Reading and literacy is good, of course, but how useful is it to learn? Needless to say, the children of ordinary people, even Chen Ding, who is related to scholars, didn't he even get mixed up with an official and a half-job?

But even 5 charm dogs will not say such words.

"My sister didn't want to close the liquor shop because of this, so she had to be careful in everything," she said, "I don't think there is anyone in this city who can control those Xiliang soldiers, and the lieutenants are helpless." ”

"Where is the money when the wine shop is closed? Everything in the city is expensive now," she propped her head with her arm, and seemed to chat with her casually, "You also work every day, can you still throw money around you by the sheep housewife?" ”

…… This topic is also not right, so don't bring it up again.

The confrontation outside the city did not last long, Ding Yuan was broken by Dong Zhuo, and those rebellious soldiers were gradually reined in.

There are new rumors in the market, saying that these two are not real swords and guns outside the city to kill the enemy, Ding Yuan's account was originally a very important person, but in the end, he turned to Dong Zhuo and beheaded Ding Yuan, so the victory was decided.

In addition to Dong Zhuo's incorporation of Ding Yuan's men, the forbidden army in Xiyuan was also under his command, and it was in full swing for a while.

…… At least there was no fight in the city, and the people were still very happy.

But at dusk of this day, when she returned from delivering pork from the north of the city, she found that the neighbors had gathered in front of Mei Niangzi's house again.

The courtyard was wide open, and Meiniang was not there, only a panicked Ah Qian, who sat on the ground and cried.

"Brother Lu, have you ever heard of it?" A neighbor immediately came over, "Something happened to the eyebrow lady!" ”

“…… What's the matter? ”

"Before half of the time, it is said that Xiliang Bing went to the wine shop to drink, and when he saw that she was beautiful, he kidnapped her and went out of the city!"

Have you ever reported to the lieutenant?

She hasn't asked this question yet, the surrounding chattering neighbors have already started to discuss, it is said that as soon as she heard the news, Chen Ding immediately ran to report to the official, but the Son of Heaven has nothing to do with Dong Zhuo, who else in Luoyang City can control the people of Xiliang?

In the midst of the chaos and chaos, Ah Qian suddenly saw her.

"Please save my mother!" The little boy who asked her for candy and taught her how to fight mice was crying hoarsely, almost speechless, "Please help her come back!" ”

[You have to think about it,] Black Blade suddenly spoke, "This is not a Yellow Turban Rogue. 】

【…… Not bad. 】

[That woman is not your best friend,] her voice is very flat, even indifferent, "Do you want to care about the life and death of everyone on this street?" 】

Chapter 18

There were three forces on the outskirts of the city.

Across the river in the north of the city is Ding Yuan's Bingzhou soldiers and horses, and in the west of the city is the Xiyuan Forbidden Army, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers were originally camped in the Sunset Pavilion twenty miles west of the city, and now they have moved to the southwest suburbs of Luoyang.

The general direction is known, but the problem is not over.

Which general's subordinates did the Xiliang soldiers who robbed Mei Niang belong to?

But where the camp is set up, it must be a battalion of 2,000 people, and it is rumored in the market that Dong Zhuo has continuously transferred Xiliang soldiers and horses from Longxi, so the camp of only 5,000 people has now become a vast area, which is quite spectacular.

Fortunately, Zhang Jin, who heard the news, caught a few guys from the winery, and after careful inquiry, one guy finally remembered something.

"That lieutenant seems to have mentioned that General Niu will go to the banquet tonight, so he must go out of the city early!"

There is only one general surnamed Niu in the Xiliang Army, and that is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu.

…… But the question is, who knows where Ushisuke is going to the feast?

The sky gradually darkened, and it would not be helpful to wait any longer, but as soon as the city gate was closed, there would really be no one to be found tomorrow morning.

"That's it, I'll look for clues as I go." She hugged her fists at everyone, "Although there is no guarantee that the eyebrow lady will be brought back, I will do my best." ”

The neighbors looked at each other, some came out to tell her not to be reckless, and if she couldn't find it, she went back, and some saw that she didn't have dinner and came over with two cakes, and the most strange thing was that when she got out of this alley, there was a young owner waiting for her.

The last ray of sunset fell on the alley, shining on his pitiful face, not to mention her, and the black blade was about to sympathize.

"What do you command?"

He hesitated for a moment, then handed over a money bag.

"There are three thousand dollars here," he whispered, "and if the people of Xiliang want you to pay a ransom, you give them it." ”

“…… Lang Jun paid this money," she said, "does the young lady know?" ”

The sheep was surprised, "You won't talk about it, will you?" ”

"If I don't talk about it, won't the young lady know?"

This kindergarten-level problem stumped the young owner, and after thinking about it, it was love that prevailed.

"She's angry, and she's just punishing me for a few meals!"

"This is called the Blessed Ignorant.] Black Blade sighed, [Such a straw bag can survive smoothly until now. 】

Salted fish was numb to the childish behavior of the young owner, and when he picked up the money bag and went out of the city, he asked the black blade.

[How will I use this money?] 】

You can buy some good oil and silk with it," it said, "reward me for the help I've given you these days, and the help I'm likely to bring you next." 】

[Do you also think it's useless to give money to Xiliang people? 】

The voice of the black blade sounded directly in his mind, and he didn't distinguish between men and women, and there were few tone words.

But this time, its contempt is palpable.

[What you can't get with a sword, you can't buy with money.] 】

Compared with a few days ago, the depression on the outskirts of the city was much more visible to the naked eye, and the occasional caravans entering the city were also caravans, and it was almost impossible to see a single person entering the city, let alone leaving the city at this time.

Therefore, when she went out of the city, the soldiers guarding the city kindly persuaded her.

"Going out at this hour, are you tired of being alive?"

She thought about it and nodded, "Possibly." ”

……………………

A round of golden crows slowly fell below the horizon, no smoke and people could be seen in the distance, and only the military camp of the Xiliang people stretched into pieces, merging with the twilight outside the city, like a monster squatting in the dark.

Can she be the enemy of the entire barracks?

No.

If she is a thief, she is confident that in front of dozens or even hundreds of people, she can break through the defense line and behead the leader.

But the army is not such a place, she beheaded a leader, and there are naturally endless generals, captains, and chiefs below, who can still integrate the soldiers and go forward one after another.

So she had to think of something.

The soldiers on the tower were talking about the harvest of the past few days, such as the villages they had looted, the women they had looted, and the good wine they had drunk.

Luoyang is really a good place, they praise it so much, how can the wealth and comfort here be compared to the poor and depressed Xiliang?

But why do these people enjoy such a life?

Still look down on them, the soldiers who guard the border gates?

The general took them to the throne in order to stir up the troubled times, oppose the righteousness, and make the world a little more reasonable!

…… I heard that in a few days, the general will take them to make a big fortune, what a big fortune?

The drum had been beaten, and she watched from the edge of one barracks to the next, but she never saw any of General Niu's carriages and horses.

The gates of the camp were tightly closed, and she wanted to hear what the soldiers in the camp had to say, but she was in great pain to hear the dialect of the Xiliang people.

There were suddenly a few shouts from the camp, and the soldiers on the watchtower took a look, waved their hands, and made a gesture.

The gate of the village opened, and a few people pushed a cart of bloody things out from inside.

The soldier looked down, "The generals didn't drink well today?" ”

The soldier who opened the door under the tower scolded, "It's not that I'm angry with those Kwantung thieves!" ”

She leaned cautiously against the wooden fence, hidden in the shadows, staring at the bloody cart and thinking about what they were talking about.

But when the man pushed the car out, she finally saw what was on it.

Niu Fu really didn't drink well today.

Uncle can rely on the famous Xiliang Iron Horse, not the Kanto family! He is now close to the scholars, recruiting celebrities, and his low-level attitude has made the generals and soldiers in the army dissatisfied, not to mention that he even gave official positions to Yuan Shao and others who abandoned their officials and left, as a sign of closeness!

That class of ministers and scholars, how can they give Xiliang people a good look!

…… But the alcohol in Luoyang is indeed sweet, and if you drink a few more glasses, you won't feel drunk.

"That Wang Kuang's mansion, I begged the Taiwei several times, but they were all not allowed," Li Dao also took the opportunity to complain, "The Taiwei is sincere, but I am afraid that the court will not see it, each with a straight face, and even a little smiling!" ”

The cold wind outside the tent is bleak, and there is a feeling of winter, but the brazier inside the tent is burning vigorously, warm as spring.

Several generals expressed their depression in their chests, drank a round of wine, and felt a little bored, just Li Dao's complaints, and another partial general came up with an idea, "The group of depressed women died just now, and it's boring to drink now, why don't you change a batch and come in again?" ”

"It's okay," Niu Fu stroked his beard, "pick a few good ones and wash the blood stains from the tent." ”

"Today, I have brought back the winery woman from my lieutenant, although she does not have the color of orchids, but she can also take a pleasure," the general smiled, "and it may be in the eyes of the general." ”

"How's your stature?"

"According to the young general, it can be the waist of Chu Palace."

Niu Fu became interested, "Then call it!" ”

"Are these all pushed out of the battalion?"

"Yes, it's all pushed out by villains."

The village, which is less than half a mile next to the barracks, has been reduced to rubble.

She seemed to have some impression of these low mud walls.

Although the people who lived in each thatched house were more or less cautious, haggard and numb, they still wanted to live.

And now the village has become a place for the camp to dump corpses.
