Chapter 565: Singing and dancing
"Cut off his head. ”
The warriors of the Tiger Wolf Guard surrounded the Great Commander, and the Great Commander lowered his head and looked at this Tuoba Tiger, the beast-like man who had just been as fierce as a dragon and destroyed most of the Martyr's Palace, the expression on his face became a little solemn, a little shocked, and even a little inexplicable.
With the strength of one person, he brutally broke into the imperial city, and kept saying that he wanted to see Emperor Yan and that the Liaodong Army was about to attack Dayan.
This guy is such an idiot!
Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, he can't rush into the imperial city like this, but should find someone who can go to the court and speak to replace him with these things!
A person like him rushed over and kept saying that he wanted to see Emperor Yan, which was simply asking for his own death!
"What did you say...... Whether it's true or not, it has nothing to do with me, even if the Liaodong Army really fights, there are still five cities between Liaodong and Xinyancheng, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers guarding it in front!"
"And how can it affect me?"
"However, this time, I got the credit for it safely!"
"Thank you. ”
"I respect you as a man, after I run out of your head, I will put it back for you and give you a thick burial!"
The Great Commander stood in front of the corpse of the Tuoba Tiger, the expression on his face also changed a little inexplicably, and after the words were said to himself, he sighed slightly, and then turned around.
Burst!
The middle-aged general who had just reported the news came to Tuoba Hu's face, then bowed to Tuoba Hu's body, slowly raised his knife, and slashed at the latter's neck.
Blood splattered, Tuoba Hu's head was cut off like this, and the middle-aged general took a deep breath and closed Tuoba Hu's eyes that were not blinding.
Then he handed the head of the tiger to the chief, and said,
"Please, Commander-in-Chief, inspect it. ”
"That's it, it's bloody, it looks a little uncomfortable, put it away, I'll take it to Chengtian Palace, see Your Majesty!"
The Great Commander smiled slightly, and then turned around and walked in the direction of the Chengtian Palace, behind him, the many tiger and wolf guards began to rectify and follow, and left some people to help the Great Inner Master of the Jingli Hall clean up and tidy.
The scene was still bloody and shocking.
And this great commander, accompanied by many guards, came to the entrance of this Chengtian Palace, Chengtian Palace, where Emperor Yan is located, although it is not as magnificent as the imperial city of Chang'an City, but it is also luxurious and solemn.
And many places are also imitating the architectural system of the Central Plains, which looks like a very glorious feeling.
At the entrance of this Chengtian Temple, there is a long road, which is paved with bluestone bricks nailed to the ground, and on both sides of the road, there are many soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Guards, guarding this Chengtian Temple with sharp eyes.
"Come here!"
The Grand Commander stood at the door, looked up in the direction of the Heavenly Temple, was silent for a moment, and then turned his head to the general on the side and ordered.
"Commander, what do you command?"
The general asked in a low voice with a thick puzzle on his face and a little puzzled.
"Come closer!"
The commander tugged at the general's shoulder, then leaned to his side, looked up and down, reached out and wiped the blood on the latter's face, then wiped it on his own face, and said with a smile,
"Please, you have to do a good job like this. ”
"The Great Commander is brilliant. ”
The general heard the words of the Grand Commander, and also understood the words of the Grand Commander, nodded slightly, and smeared all the blood on his body on the Grand Commander's body and armor.
After everything was ready, the Great Commander took a deep breath, and then strode towards the entrance of the Heavenly Palace.
"Father-in-law Liu, I'm here to see Your Majesty. ”
Soon, the Grand Commander came to the entrance of the Heavenly Temple, and at the entrance stood a thin, somewhat clumsy white-faced man, who had no beard or Adam's apple, and whose face was full of femininity and arrogance.
"Your Majesty is busy now, if there is anything, please come back later!"
The eunuch named Gonggong Liu smiled slightly and snorted softly.
There was also a faint sense of arrogance in that voice.
"Father-in-law Liu, look at what this is!"
The commander glanced at Gonggong Liu lightly, and directly lifted the bloody head behind him in front of Gonggong Liu, although the head was wrapped in a cloth bag, but there was constantly blood flowing out, and there was a strong pungent smell of blood, which made this Gonggong Liu turn pale with fright, his body was weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
"Oh, what is this...... Something, get farther away...... Don't be so close to our house......"
"It's disgusting......"
Gonggong Liu's face turned pale with fright, and he was holding on to the door frame of the Chengtian Palace, almost standing unsteadily.
"Gonggong Liu, did you hear the movement over there in the Jinglie Hall just now? The Tiger Wolf Guard poured out, and the hundreds of Da Nei masters in the entire Jinglie Hall lost nearly half, all because of this assassin!"
The general had a cold face on his face, and a faint smell of blood, and he brought the bloody head of the Tuoba Tiger to Gonggong Liu, and said with a smile,
"Our Tiger Wolf Guard also caught this guy with a tiger and wolf crossbow, and now he has his head cut off, I plan to go to Your Majesty and report this matter clearly to Your Majesty. ”
"This ...... This ......"
Gonggong Liu listened to the words of the great commander, and on his thin white face, there was a trace of solemnity, and a little trance, he swallowed and foamed slightly, and then avoided the bloody head, and said with a little stammer,
"This situation is a bit special, His Majesty Emperor Yan has just summoned several ladies into the palace, and they are now in the Chengtian Palace...... The minions didn't dare to go in and disturb ......"
"You also know that when Your Majesty is with a few ladies, you never allow anyone to disturb you!"
"If this is ......"
"So those ladies are in there?"
When the Grand Commander heard the words of Gonggong Liu, his brows also furrowed slightly, and a faint smell of disgust flashed between his eyebrows.
These ladies, everyone knows what's going on.
At the beginning of the dispute between the north and the south courts, some of the main characters of the two courts were all killed, and in the end, only some old and weak women and children were left, and some of them were of the highest appearance by the new emperor!
And then......
"I see, I'll wait here!"
"When Your Majesty is done, I will bother Gonggong Liu to go in and report!"
"The matter of the Assassins is not a trivial matter. ”
The Grand Commander shook his head slightly, with a hint of helplessness on his face, and said with a wry smile.
"Then it's bothering the Grand Commander!"
Father-in-law Liu listened to the words of the commander, and hurriedly arched his hand flatteringly, this is really considerate of himself!
When a general and a father-in-law were speechless at the door of this Chengtian Palace, at this moment, inside this Chengtian Palace, it was a different scene.
Several charcoal stoves flickered slightly, between light and dark, making the whole spacious and luxurious hall seem a little warm, and in this warm and luxurious, there was constantly the sound of women's laughter, full of extravagance.
Following the voice, a middle-aged man with a somewhat thin figure and a little rickety, with his chest on his head, laughed and lingered beside several enchanting women......
That scene is really a bit unsightly!
"Haha...... Yes, I'm rewarded!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Continue ......"
The middle-aged man held a wine glass in one hand and a charming woman in the other, and then said with a loud laugh.
The woman in his possession was his aunt in terms of seniority, but now she was very well maintained, and she was only thirty years old.
This is Emperor Yan's favorite person.
"Your Majesty, you drink!"
The woman looked at Emperor Yan like this, and a faint disgust flashed on her face, but she didn't dare to resist anything, and greeted Emperor Yan's laughter and offered a glass of wine.
"Haha......"
Emperor Yan's laughter was even more rampant and proud, and soon, there was a coquettish scream in this hall.
"Hey......"
The Great Commander of the Tiger Wolf Guard had been standing at the door of the Chengtian Palace, and that Gonggong Liu had been accompanying him, and the two of them had been standing from noon until almost dusk.
The sunlight on the horizon gradually dimmed, and the rich fiery clouds slowly spread above the horizon, looking like a river burning in the braids, giving people a very trance feeling.
And the voices in the hall are still constant.
"Perhaps, I should have let that assassin in. ”
The Grand Commander turned his head to look at it, shook his head slightly, and said to himself in his heart.
......
Nanping City!
As the sun fell, a round of scorching sun gradually became dim and yellow, slowly descending from the horizon to the bottom of the floor, and the burning clouds on the horizon spread towards the sky with a red color.
The entire Nanping City gives people a particularly desolate feeling, which is shocking.
And at this moment, three miles away in the southwest of Nanping City, there were some figures wearing black scout clothes, and they rode their horses and kept approaching in the direction of Nanping City.
The speed was extremely fast, but the hooves of their horses were already wrapped in thick cotton cloth, and they did not make any sound.
This is exactly the scout sent by Yuan Tianzhi to spy on the situation.
"Be careful, don't let the defenders of Nanping City find us!"
The scout at the head was a thin man, he carried a clairvoyant mirror, his eyes slowly swept over the walls of Nanping City, and the city gate, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
For such a long time, Liaodong and the Jurchens have coexisted peacefully, and half a month ago, Liaodong and the people of Dayan opened up a good place for the trade of chicken wings, and now, the Jurchen Dayan people have too little vigilance against Liaodong.
This Nanping City is the place where the Dayan Jurchen tribe and the Liaodong Army border, in this kind of place, there are not many garrisons near this city, only some people who simply maintain order, and there are only about 2,000 people.
And at this moment, it has reached dusk, and the gate of Nanping City is still in chaos, without the slightest sign of closing, and the convoy of merchants and the soldiers who are responsible for guarding are not in the slightest hurry.
"You guys, you've lived a peaceful life for too long!"
Taking a deep breath, the coldness and disdain on the face of the general of the Ming scout became even stronger, he withdrew the clairvoyant mirror, waved his hand to the group of scouts behind him, and commanded,
"Keep moving closer and spy on the situation!"
"After the situation is confirmed, immediately send the news back and notify the general to do it!"
"Yes!"
When the many scouts heard the order, they nodded one after another, and then gradually dispersed, and then slowly approached in the direction of Nanping City.
The light above the sky became more and more dim, more and more red, and as these countless scouts continued to approach, the light above the huge Nanping City also became dim.
Then, there was a gloomy dark cloud, which also seemed to be summoned, and slowly passed from that distance.
The dark clouds spread, and the sky over Nanping City became more depressing and dim, as if a storm was coming.
After this situation appeared, the people at the city gate were even busier, and even a little crowded, as for the soldiers on the city wall, and some soldiers guarding the gate, they were all a little impatient and a little impatient when they saw these situations!
"Leave a few people here waiting to close, and the rest of the people find a place to hide, this rain may be about to fall, if everyone gets wet, it will be trouble!"
A thin general, with a somewhat vain face, commanded in a low voice.
As he spoke, he casually glanced at the distance where the sky was gradually darkening, and seemed to see some slowly approaching black, but he didn't care, at this time, there should be no trouble.
It's better to go back first, don't get wet in the heavy rain.
The weather in this northwest land is still very cold, and if you get wet with rain, it will definitely be very uncomfortable.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go, let's go......"
As the general left, the soldiers who were defending the city also walked to the side, some of them got off the city wall, and some of them left the place where the gate was guarded.
The gate of Nanping City has also become a little empty, leaving only a few figures, impatiently urging passing vehicles and caravans to enter the city, while preparing to close the city gate.
It's getting darker.
At the same time, in the city of this Nanping City.
In a wide and magnificent mansion, although it is getting dark, there is a feeling of wind and rain coming, but there is still a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere inside and outside this mansion, and many officials are coming in and out one after another.
People who don't know the truth may think that this is the officials of Nanping City who are loyal to their duties and are busy with some things about the government, but the truth is by no means the case.
Looking in the direction of these officials, I saw that behind the solemn mansion, the lights were flickering, and there were constantly all kinds of lively and silky bamboo sounds.
Following the sound, I saw a long queue lined up in a lantern-shrouded courtyard, and at the end of this procession were the busy officials, the catchers, and the officials and lords of Nanping City who were indulging in pleasures.
In this hall, the lights are shining, a song and dance are leveling, and the slender and gentle dancing girls are constantly writhing in the center of this hall, exuding endless enchantment and martial charm.
And those officials and gentlemen sat on top of this, looking at it with a smile, and the look on their faces was also very happy, because of the wine, their atmosphere was even more lively.
"The Chen family in Nanping City, the monthly squad, three hundred taels. ”
"The Zhao family in Nanping City, the moon is three, three hundred taels!"
"The Chen family in Nanping City, the moon is five hundred taels!"
......
Along with the singing and dancing and these poems, there were the voices of those constant reports, and one after another, people carried in boxes full of silver one by one and put them in front of many officials and gentlemen.
"Haha...... Nice, nice......"
"Haha......"
The officials and masters have long been accustomed to these situations, and they don't care too much, they are still constantly pushing the cups and touching the lamps, and at the same time, the eyes are constantly sweeping over the dancers who are writhing.
These officials and gentlemen are so lively and indulgent, and those people queuing up outside have extremely embarrassed expressions on their faces, and even a little angry and gloomy.
They are the merchants of Nanping City.
In recent years, Nanping City, as a key transit place for the trade between Liaodong and Jurchen Dayan, has rich in various conveniences, which has bred a lot of such merchants, and at the same time, they have also earned a lot of silver.
However, while they were making money, they were also targeted by the officials and masters of Nanping City.
These officials have established some new systems, that is, the monthly salary system, all the merchants of Nanping City, who have customs clearance transactions of goods here, must pay a certain amount of monthly salary to the government of Nanping City!
Only after paying the monthly salary can you get the documents for customs clearance from here, and you can carry out normal freight customs clearance transactions.
Otherwise, your goods will not be able to pass through Nanping City at all.
As a result, these merchants could only submit to the court, but at first, these merchants were barely acceptable, because they did not need to pay a lot of silver.
Comparatively speaking, this is still a lot of profit per trip.
However, as time passed, the officials of Nanping City saw a good way to make money, so they began to go too far, and they intensified.
Nowadays, all these commercial transactions, most of the profits, are basically taken away by these officials who eat the people's fat and people's ointment, and only a very small part of the rest can be distributed to these merchants.
"This group of bastards, corrupt and bribery, eating people's fat and people's ointment, will not die well!"
"That is, if Lao Tzu has the opportunity one day, he will hack those guys inside to death first, and even their family members will be hacked to death!"
"These officials don't have a good thing!"
"All damn it!"
The businessmen lined up with their monthly salaries to send them inside, and at the same time secretly cursed in their hearts, they had worked hard for so long, but in the end they gave most of their profits to these corrupt officials, and no one would feel good in their hearts.
However, cursing in the heart is cursing, but people don't show anything on their faces.
They all understand that in the current Nanping City, these officials are still in charge, if they really offend them, they will not even have the opportunity to clear the customs in the future, and even the remaining little profit will be gone!
I can only swallow my anger!
"Lao Tzu now hopes that when will the Liaodong Army come over and bulldoze this Nanping City, let's start again in the future, maybe it will be more comfortable and happy!"
"When the time comes, I may also pick up a knife and slash these officials twice on the head!"
"To relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Amidst a low sound of cursing and discussion, the merchant team continued to slowly spread and march forward.
And in that hall, as gold and silver were constantly handed in, the mood of those officials became higher and higher, and under the influence of alcohol, they began to be desperate, and in this hall, they rushed to those dancing girls one after another.
Then, the madness began.
That scene is even more unsightly.
Outside, the businessmen who were queuing up to pay the money were even more gloomy, and the cursing in their hearts was even more incessant.
......
At the same time, three miles southwest of Nanping City, the Liaodong cavalry led by Yuan Tianzhi appeared between this vast and boundless world.
The mighty army has more than 20,000 people, and the many soldiers are pressed by black, as if they are a tumbling torrent, with swords and swords, and the evil aura is rising hideously, and even the world seems to be oppressed by this momentum a little low.
The cold wind whistled and swirled between the heavens and the earth, and the banner that was not fully unfurled was also hunting.
In front of this team was a group of cavalry mainly charged, with magnificent armor and awe-inspiring atmosphere, and behind this cavalry, there were infantry used to win the city, as well as weapons of mass destruction that they had brought with them on this trip.
The new red-coated artillery that was transported from Chang'an City thousands of miles away.
Chang'an City equipped the Liaodong Army with a total of 130 such new artillery, but because the Liaodong Army was attacking Nanping City this time, it could not cause too much movement.
Therefore, Yuan Tianzhi only ordered someone to bring over twenty gates.
Even if there were only these twenty artillery, Yuan Tianzhi believed that it would be completely no longer a problem to break through the now decaying Nanping City, and even, he felt that he didn't need his waiting soldiers to appear.
Perhaps, you can directly smash the city gate open with this red-clothed cannon, and then the cavalry will rush in, and this Nanping City will become the first place for the Liaodong Army to eat Jurchen Dayan.
Let them experience the war of the Liaodong Army first!
"It's almost time!"
"Haven't the scouts come back yet?"
In the silence and dead silence, Yuan Tianzhi's gaze slowly retracted from the distant and even somewhat dim and low sky, he took a deep breath, and then looked at a scout general behind him.
"General Yuan, wait. ”
The scout general's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at the vast and dim sky in the distance with a clairvoyant mirror, and vaguely, he saw a small black dot, which was galloping towards this side.
He arched his hand slightly, and said in a low voice,
"They're back, and the news should be back too!"
"That's good. ”
Yuan Tianzhi exhaled deeply, and then his eyes were filled with a faint coldness, and a little calm, and he said with a smile to himself,
"If it's not a big problem. ”
"Then next, you can do it to Nanping City!"
When these words fell, Yuan Tianzhi felt that his heart was beating slightly, and the look on his face also became a little hot, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time......
