There are also occasional startled dog barking, parents scolding their children for being naughty, and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law mixing a sentence or two, all of which can be heard at the entrance of the village at night.

Now the villages near the barracks are gone, and the voices are no longer heard.

There were only one or two whimperes in the distance, and a faint green light in the shadows.

"The lady...... What will happen? The woman, who lived in a nearby village, asked again.

No, a starving civilian woman wants to assassinate a military general who has been fighting on horses for many years, and the probability of success cannot be said to be none, but it is certainly not high.

But the wrath of cloth clothes can also be vegetarian all over the world, so who says you can't give it a try? Although the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has a prestige, it is still buried in the legends of the Three Kingdoms, and along with their master, who is known as a veteran of a hundred battles, they have been eliminated by history.

All she needed was patience.

Wait a little longer, until the sun rises, and when the righteousness of the world comes...... That's fine, right?

In Guangyang Gate, the alley of Dongsandao is still dusty in the early morning.

The sun rises not only to bring warmth, but also to shine on every brick and tile of the broken street, the dirt road in the middle is uneven, every time it rains, there are always people who are one foot deep and one foot shallow, half a month ago, Kong Yiji stepped into a muddy puddle, ruined a piece of clothes, not to mention, but also twisted his foot, this news was chewed repeatedly by everyone for a long time, before he was still unfinished letting go.

But such a dilapidated alley is even more intimate than Genting Heavenly Palace in the eyes of amateur athletes who are forced to race walk for most of the night.

The neighbors didn't know who was the first to see the two people who were embarrassed, and they hula and surrounded them.

…… The eyebrows' tears came out all at once.

The salted fish that was solemnly thanked by the young lady next door and received two fat chickens as a reward felt a little uncomfortable.

As a 5-charm dog, it was the first time she was praised and praised by the neighbors.

Although it was a little uncomfortable, it almost made her flutter.

But when she went to work the next day, Shaodong's strange face made the flutter in her heart dissipate.

Finding an opportunity, Yang Xi came over.

He thought for a moment, then slashed at the ground with his toes.

The surface of the loess was picked by his cloth shoes, and a small pit was immediately cut out, and the dust flew up.

In the dust, he coughed again.

"What does the sovereign command?" Salted fish, who couldn't bear it, decided to speak first.

…… Yang Xi snorted and chirped twice.

She looked at the fat pigs under her command who had not finished dismembering their bodies.

"Yesterday ......"

"How?"

Yang Xi looked left and right, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you tell Mei Niang?" ”

“…… Tell her what? ”

Shaodong's face quickly became pale.

"Naturally, it's the matter of the three thousand!"

She shook her head, "No. ”

"Did you use the money?"

…… She had to think about it.

"Yes," she said frankly.

Shaodong's face turned blue and white in an instant, "You lie!" ”

…… Isn't it true that 5 charm dogs can't lie?

Seeing that she was silent, the young owner was so angry that his voice became louder, "Obviously I paid for you to save her!" You actually have a monopoly on the benefits! And got her blue eyes! Do you know that when I visited her house this morning, Mei Niang didn't even smile at me! ”

"What does it have to do with the villain whether the eyebrows smile or not?" She was not afraid of boiling water and said, "Why don't you save this money first, and then the villain will save you when the lord is taken captive next time?" ”

“…… I don't go out of town again! Not a woman! Which Xiliang soldier would attack a man like me! ”

"The world is unpredictable," she insisted on refusing to spit out the money, "the lord is right, but he must also be careful!" ”

Although Yang Xi is a bit of a straw bag, this is indeed true.

The people who lived in the city were men, and it seemed that there would have been no calamity in the first place.

At least before Dong Zhuo made one last effort in order to win over the Kanto family, Quan Yang City did think so.

Chapter 20

The weather is getting colder and colder, which is definitely a good thing for the butcher shop, after all, the cold air keeps it fresh, and it is not afraid to kill a few more pigs.

But the sheep family is killing fewer and fewer pigs, and not only because the city is gradually isolated from the outside of the city, it is not easy to collect pigs in nearby villages.

Very few people in the city buy meat anymore.

A month ago, when Dong Zhuo issued an order on behalf of the Son of Heaven to rehabilitate the party members and restore the titles of Chen Fan, Dou Wu and others who were defeated in the battle with the eunuchs, Luoyang City returned to a brief period of calm, and business also recovered for a short time.

At least the people at the bottom thought that whether Dong Zhuo was in power or the rest of the ministers in the DPRK and Central China had an effect, they would always restrain those soldiers and bring the country back to the normal track.

But in the eyes of later generations, this was probably Dong Zhuo's last effort to win over the family.

He found that after all, he could not get the feedback of the Gongqing family, nor the support of the court, and all he had in his hands from beginning to end was military power.

Soon after Dong Zhuo was promoted to Xiangguo, entered the court, and went to the palace with his sword, the entire Luoyang fell into an unprecedented catastrophe.

In the middle of winter, the mountains wither, the leaves fall and the grass wither, and the outdoor gradually becomes unpopular, and the pigsty must also lay more grass to leave a few pigs for the winter.

In the past few days, the proprietress and Yang Xi are angry, so they don't have so much heart to come to the shop, and a few domestic servants take advantage of the lack of customers to gather around the charcoal basin and make a fire.

…… Today, Lu Hangyu was sent out of the city, and he couldn't go back to the shop for a while, Li Er looked around and felt quite comfortable.

"Have you ever heard that Beicheng is hard to go?"

"I heard that Beicheng has been in chaos for the past two days, but I don't dare to take a closer look."

"Why, exactly?"

Li Er raised his eyebrows proudly, "Those high-ranking families have all been robbed by the Xiliang people!" ”

The guys who listened to the news instantly widened their eyes, "How can there be such a thing?" ”

"I saw it with my own eyes! If I hadn't been careful, even that truckload of pork would have been robbed! ”

"The nobles dare to rob, is there any royal law here?"

"In my opinion, it's relieving," one of the fellows immediately commented, "the door over there is really high, and if you send five trips of meat, at least three of them will be scolded by his servants, and you should rob them!" ”

"Yes, especially those who have done so! We won't even let in the door! I'm afraid of dirtying other people's land! Another guy immediately chimed in, "It's time to make them suffer!" ”

A group of helpers who had no roof on the top and no place to stand quickly reached a consensus, and only one quietly expressed a different opinion.

"That being said, but such a family will also be raided by the Xiliang barbarians, so wouldn't we be even more ......"

Li Er glanced at him and pouted, "Still afraid of robbing you?" Rob you of these two feet of short brown as a rag? Or rob you of being a woman? ”

At the mention of women, the men burst into laughter, and the conversation quietly took a turn.

If the proprietress of the wine shop is really gone, such a tragic incident is not suitable for the neighbors to whisper, but now that she has come back with all her beards and tails, has anything happened between her and Brother Lu...... It's a good idea to talk about it.

Yang Xi also thinks so, and is very congested.

Because Mei Niang invited him to sit down, and after pouring him a cup of tea, she picked up the unfinished needlework and continued to get busy.

The attitude itself says it all.

But that's not the most heart-wrenching for him.

…… The needlework that Mei Niang is doing is clearly a pair of shoes the size of an adult man!

And when he asked this question, Mei Niang looked up at him in surprise.

"Lu Langjun and I have a life-saving grace, and I did it for him."

…… Even if he didn't have the ability to go to the barracks to rescue her in person, he would have paid 3,000 yuan! Or stolen from home! How could this woman be so cold-hearted!

There was anger in his chest, but when the words came to his lips, he wanted to accuse her, and saw her look up and glance at him.

Mei Niang was frightened that day, and when she came back, she was sick for a few days and lost a lot of weight. A face without fat powder is even more pitiful, and when his eyes roll, he immediately reminds him of the tenderness and sweetness at the beginning.

The anger was immediately suppressed and turned into a sour taste.

"You treat him like this, do you want to marry him?"

She lowered her head again and continued to be busy with the work in her hands, "The concubine and widow have lived for several years, and Lu Langjun has never been married, so why not if you want to marry?" ”

Yang Xi has not suffered much since he was a child, nor has he done anything serious, and he can be called idle, but he also boasts of being gentle and affectionate. The borrower begged him to spare a few more days, and he would nod his head, and the neighbors asked him to sell pork cheaper, and he agreed.

Even if Mei Niang treated him so coldly, he couldn't really get out of his stomach with a lot of anger, so he just pushed the door and left angrily.

…… When I returned to the shop, I saw a group of guys roasting the fire, chatting, not doing business, and no matter how much he prided himself on being gentle and affectionate, the young owner couldn't hold back his temper.

"Eat my food, wear my clothes, do you do things like this?"

"Isn't the Lord going to stock up on some dry ingredients these days?" Li Er immediately stood up and respectfully, "I heard that there are some new ones in the market, and the villain will follow to take a look?" ”

Whether the pigs in the family eat or not, what they eat, and how much they eat, it has never been his business. Yang Xi was impatiently about to refuse, but after thinking about it, he suddenly agreed again.

He also heard about the incident a few days ago, the Xiliang soldiers robbed the nobles of those high-ranking families in the north of the city, and the market is afraid that there will be a lot of jewelry and treasures?

That pig-killing boy is young, mediocre-looking, and he doesn't pull out a dime! Where can he compare to Lang Jun who is so dedicated to him?

After moving this thought, the depression in Yang Xi's heart turned into an expectation, he still has a little money left by fake accounts, although Mrs. is strictly guarded, and it is not easy to pay again, but this time as long as he carefully selects one or two hairpins, he is not afraid of not pleasing Meiniang!

Today's market is a bit depressed, and when I asked, I said that everyone went to the city gate to see the excitement.

"What's the excitement?"

The vendor who was guarding the stall in the cold wind and couldn't get away stomped his feet, "The people of Xiliang have killed the thieves, and today they are piling up Jingguan at the city gate, so it's not scary!" ”

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there has been such a custom, sending troops to kill thieves, fighting victories and displaying corpses, and will build a Beijing view to show that the descendants will not forget the martial arts.

It's scary, but it's not a common sight.

"The Lord wants to go and see it?" Li Er asked cautiously.
