160. The city of Qujing was besieged
It turned out that what Xian'er saw was a Buddhist scripture wrapped in silk.
However, this Buddhist scripture is not so simple, with a piece of paper on the cover, and a few big characters are written: 'The testament of the emperors of the Dali Duan dynasty'.
Xian'er turned the first page and looked, the first thing was the suicide note of Duan Siping, the founder of Dali, only to see that it read:
"I Dali Duan was originally a Qiang from Hexi, but since the first lord Duan Jian Wei began to assist the Nanzhao Kingdom, to my generation, the Duan family has gradually risen, to my generation has been the Tonghai Festival Envoy, at this time the Nanzhao lord is mediocre, poisoning the people, I really can't bear the hardship of the people, so I crusade against the Nanzhao State, and replace it to establish the Dali State. ”
Then he turned the page and wrote:
"However, although my Dali country has pacified the rebellion of various ethnic groups internally, my Duan clan has always been an alien race, and externally it is still only a small border country, and it is powerless to fight against the surrounding powerful states!"
Turning another page, it reads:
"So I Duan Siping is here to instruct future generations that if he is in trouble with my Dali Duan clan, after there is no survival in this western Yunnan, he must move back to his hometown in Hexi and be a herdsman, and it is enough to be a herdsman, not to mention that he will not rise up again on the grounds of recovering the country, this law will only poison the people and completely destroy the reputation of my Duan clan!"
Du did not forget to say at this time:
"It turns out that the ancestor of your Duan clan, when the country was founded, had already made a way to retreat, it seems that your emperor Duan Siping is really worthy of a master of great talent!"
After reading this paragraph, Xian'er was shocked for a moment, then relieved herself and said:
"Yes, my ancestors also said that they had to return to the country to poison the people, and I have to go back to dissuade my father!"
Du did not forget and said:
"Also, if you take this ancestor's testament to your father Duan Jueming, he will definitely wake up, and the people of the southwest will no longer have the disaster of war!"
Duan Xian'er put away these Buddhist scriptures, and then got up and said to Du Buyi and Feng Niang:
"That's the case, I'll rush back to the Five Poisons Sect to find my father first, Brother Du, you and Sister Feng'er take good care!"
Du Bu Bu and Feng Niang each hugged Xian'er, and the two of them also said 'take care' to her, and watched Xian'er leave.
When Xian'er left, Du Bu Bu breathed a long sigh of relief and said:
"It seems that the soldiers of the Five Poison Sect and the Ming Dynasty can finally be quelled!"
On the side, Feng Niang patted Du Zhixin on the shoulder, and also said:
"May there be less war and more peace in this world!"
Du did not forget to smile and said:
"War can be less, but people's hearts are unpredictable, the main thing is that there are too many wicked people in this world!"
Feng Niang replied:
"That's not simple, I'm a heroine now, you're a nerd knight, then let's continue to eliminate evil and chivalry!"
Du did not forget to reply:
"Of course you can, but you have to go to Yongchangwei to meet Brother Yang first!"
Feng Niang replied:
"Of course, why don't we hurry back and pack our things and hurry?"
Du did not forget to reply:
"Heroine, obey!"
Then the two of them went back to the inn, took their luggage, set up the carriage, and continued to the direction of Yongchangwei.
It was not until noon the next day that the two arrived at the military camp where Yang Shen was, and after inquiry, they learned that Yang Shen had gone home.
When the two saw that there was a void, they had no choice but to return.
On the way, Du did not forget to invite Feng Niang to go to the dragon field where he had stayed, and then accompany him back to Anlu's hometown to have a look, and Feng Niang also agreed.
The two of them went to the mountains and rivers while returning to the direction of Longchang first.
After more than half a month, the two of them bypassed Yunnan Mansion and arrived near Qujing City.
At this time, Qujing City was suffering from the siege of the Five Poison Sect and the Eight Great Villages, but Qianguo Gong led the army to be stationed in Yunnan Mansion and refused to support Qujing City.
Du Buyi and Feng Niang were in a dense forest outside the city at this time, observing the battle.
Feng Niang asked Du Buzhi:
"Didn't Xian'er return to the Five Poisons Sect, why didn't they still collect their troops?"
Du didn't forget to think about it and replied:
"Xian'er has only been gone for more than half a month, maybe she hasn't returned to the Five Poisons Sect yet!"
Feng Niang replied:
"You're right!"
Then he asked Du Bu not to forget:
"Don't forget, what do you think we should do now, the road ahead is blocked, and it will definitely not work in a place full of mountains in the bypass!"
Du did not forget to think about it and said:
"We still want to think of a way to see if we can help the people in this Qujing City, if the city is broken, I'm afraid these people's lives will be worried!"
Feng Niang replied:
"I listen to you!"
Then Du Bu Bu watched many Bada Zhai disciples patrolling and walking around, and said to Feng Niang:
"Why don't we find a place to rest first, and go to the city late at night to find out the news inside, I think this Qujing City should not be so easy to break!"
Feng Niang nodded.
Then the two of them set up the carriage and walked back for a while, found a ruined temple, and rested.
Since the two of them had not rested much since they bypassed Yunnan Mansion, they were very tired, so they sat together and leaned against each other and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Feng Niang woke up first, and then woke up Du Zhifu, the two of them ate some dry food, and then began to discuss, and then set up a carriage and returned to Qujing City.
At this time, outside the four gates of Qujing City, there were all disciples of the Five Poisons Sect and the Eight Great Villages.
Du Buyi pulled Xi Siqi to the outside of the city wall that a patrol disciple had just walked through, and jumped up directly with light skills.
At this time, the officers and soldiers patrolling on the city wall saw the two people coming up, thinking that they were enemies, so they woke up the others, pulled out their knives and surrounded Du Buyi and Feng Niang.
Then the first general said:
"Were you sent by the bandits?"
Du did not forget to reply:
"Of course not, we also have hatred with those bandits, and we are here to help you!"
The general said:
"You said you weren't a bandit, so what proof do you have?"
Du didn't forget to think about it, and then said to Feng Niang quietly:
"Don't you have a letter left by your stepfather, why don't you show it to him, maybe they won't misunderstand us!"
Feng Niang glared at Du Niang and said:
"What are you talking about, let me show them that kind of letter, you really want to come out!"
Du Bu Bu said again:
"Now there is no other way, we are here to help them, they don't believe it, treat us as bandits, lest they have to fight, and in the end they can't cheapen those thieves outside!"
Feng Niang hesitated and said:
"Okay, just watch me lose someone!"
Then he gave Yang Yanhe's letter to Du Buyi.
Du did not forget to take Yang Yanhe's letter, and said to the general:
"Do you know Yang Yanhe, the former first assistant?"
The general replied:
"No one knows Yang Shoufu's name, but it's just a pity that he was framed!"
Du Bu Bu saw that the general seemed to have some sympathy for Yang Yanhe, and was overjoyed, so he immediately said:
"We are Yang Shoufu's family!"
The general replied:
"Do you say that Yang Shoufu's family has credentials?"
Du Cheng Cheng said:
"Yes, yes..."
Then he handed the letter to the general, and said:
"This is the letter that Yang Shoufu asked us to send to Yang Shengongzi!"
The general looked at it as if he was illiterate, so he asked the soldiers on the side and said:
"Take this letter to the prefect and verify it!"
The soldier took the letter and ran into the city.
Then the general said to them:
"You have to wait here without verifying your identity, and we are also thinking about the people in the city. ”
Du did not forget to reply:
"I understand!"
Then he asked:
"General, your surname, where is your hometown?"
The general replied:
"I am Cai Jiao, the garrison general of Qujing City, from Chengdu Mansion in Shudi!"
The two of them also introduced their names.
Feng Niang smiled and said to this vegetable Jiao:
"It turned out to be fellow villagers, and we are also from Xindu County, Chengdu Prefecture!"
This Cai Jiao replied:
"If I weren't a fellow villager of Yang Shoufu, why would I bother the prefect to verify the authenticity of the letter for you!"
Then he looked at Feng Niang carefully and said:
"Girl, you are so good-looking, aren't you afraid of danger in this chaotic place?"
Feng Niang pointed at Du Niang and said:
"My friend is strong in martial arts, with him, I'm not afraid!"
Cai Jiao looked at Du Yi and said:
"I see that Brother Feng is also in average shape, but I didn't expect to have such good kung fu, and I gently took Miss Yang to jump on our few feet high city wall!"
Du did not forget to smile and said:
"General Cai smiled!"
Then he asked:
"I don't know the prefect's name here?"
Cai Jiao replied:
"Our prefect's name is Zheng Ruchun, who used to be a student of Yang Shoufu's disciple, otherwise I wouldn't have asked the soldier to take the letter to him for verification!"
When Feng Niang heard Zheng Ruchun, she felt very familiar, so she asked:
"Has this Governor Zheng ever served in the Hanlin Academy?"
Cai Jiao replied:
"I don't know, if you see the prefect, you're asking him!"
At this time, the soldier who had just taken the letter came back, and then said to Cai Jiao:
"General Cai, the prefect said that you should take the two of them to the prefect's mansion for a trip!"
Cai Jiao replied:
"Got it, go get busy!"
Then he said to Du Buyi and Feng Niang:
"Since the prefect has asked the two of you to go, let's go together!"
Then the three of them went down to the city tower, and after walking for a long time, they arrived at the prefect's yamen.
As soon as the guard in front of the door saw a few people coming, he immediately came over and invited a few people in, and then said:
"The prefect is waiting for a few people in the chamber of the yamen right now!"
Then he led a few people to the meeting room.
At this time, the prefect Zheng Ruchun was looking at Feng Niang's letter, and when he saw a few people coming, he immediately came over and invited a few people to sit down.
Then he looked at Feng Niang and said:
"You are Yang Feng'er!"
Feng Niang nodded, and then the prefect said again:
"I only heard that my teacher had a righteous daughter named Feng'er, but I didn't expect to be so beautiful!"
Then he looked at Du and said:
"Is this son Feng'er's husband?"
Feng Niang said:
"No, we're just friends!"
Zheng Ruchun immediately asked again:
"Miss Feng'er is not young now, have you thought about the rest of your life for yourself?"
Feng Niang seemed to understand what Governor Zheng meant at this time, so she said:
"Feng Niang has already made plans for the rest of her life!"
Governor Zheng said again:
"I have a wife in my family, but unfortunately I am far away in Hebei, and I haven't gone back for a few years, and now I am alone here, and I have always planned to marry a concubine here, but unfortunately there has been no suitable one!"
Feng Niang quickly changed the topic and said:
"Now that this Qujing City is being besieged by bandits, the prefect, you should first think carefully about how to break the enemy, and how to think about the matter of wives and concubines!"
Governor Zheng said helplessly:
"Break the enemy, how to break it? The bandit coalition army outside is now estimated to be no less than 10,000, and our Qujing City has only 2,000 soldiers defending the city, but the Yunnan Prefecture Qianguo Gong does not come to the rescue, and the governor has no troops to adjust, our Qujing City will be broken sooner or later!"
Du did not forget to ask:
"Then what are you going to do after the city is broken?"
Governor Zheng said with a depressed face:
"What else can I do, I can only kneel on the ground and pray to the bandit leader to leave us people a way to live. ”
At this time, Cai Jiao immediately said to Zheng Zhifu:
"Lord Prefect, how can you be so popular with others and destroy your own prestige, if he really breaks the city one day, I will definitely lead the soldiers in the city to die with these bandits, and I will never survive!"
When Du didn't forget to hear this, he laughed and came over, patted General Cai Jiao on the shoulder, and said:
"General Cai, you are really the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, with a general like you, I believe that those bandits will not be able to capture this Qujing City. ”
