Chapter 107: Marriage Proposal (1)
Everyone secretly climbed down the mountain from the cliff in the south, under the guidance of Seventeen, to the west of the city, the secret road into the city is in the west of the city, only more than two miles away from the city wall, Li Fengyun looked back at the south of the city, the past is like a dream, the fifty horsemen who were left to lure the enemy, but now only he, Mo Qingyan, Seventeen and Zhao Wuji are left.

Dian Kui is nowhere to be found, and nine times out of ten he has been buried under the iron hoof.
None of the ten black-clothed guards brought by Seventeen survived, and Seventeen survived only thanks to Ma Ying's rescue.
Things shouldn't have been like this, if that Du Hongzhang had opened the city gate early, Dian Kui wouldn't have died, Deng Fang wouldn't have died, and 385 and the other eleven black-clothed guards wouldn't have died.
However, how can what happened be changed? If you want to blame, you can only blame that damn Du Hongzhang.
"Du Hongzhang, Lao Tzu will never spare you!" Li Fengyun clenched his fists, his teeth creaking.
There was no danger or danger, and everyone entered the city of Zhenzhou through the secret passage.
Since Shi Jingjiao ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitan, Zhenzhou City has become an important border town, the gateway to Hebei, the city wall is tall and thick, to conquer such a portal, if there is no civil strife in Zhenzhou City, there is no pile of tens of thousands of flesh and blood, it is difficult to conquer.
It's a pity that since the loss of the natural barrier of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, there are only portals left in the hinterland of the Central Plains, portals without walls. Therefore, when the Khitan cavalry entered the Central Plains, they didn't need to go through the portal at all, the walls everywhere had collapsed, who would be so stupid as to have to conquer the portal first before they could enter the house?
However, the existence of Zhenzhou City, for the Khitan army deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains, is always stuck in the throat of the fish bones, if not pulled out, it will always be a threat to its back road, so there is Yang Guangyuan besieging the city. However, Zhenzhou City is not so easy to pull out.
Not long after Li Fengyun and the six entered Zhenzhou, Du Ruyue got the news and hurried to bring the six people into Du's mansion.
Jiedu Mansion is located in the north of the city Xuanwu position, set the aura of the north in one, covers an area of no less than 100 acres, the pavilions and pavilions in the house are countless, the small bridge flowing water, the flower wall carved eaves, than the Yayun Xuan of Yangzhou is not much to let, but the Yayun Xuan is more of the spirit of the south of the Yangtze River, move to change the scene, everywhere is finely crafted, more like the boudoir of the small characters of the lady's show, and Du Mansion has more of the heroic spirit of the north, pay more attention to the grandeur of the momentum, like a woman who swings the mountains and rivers.
Whether it is a beautiful lady or a heroine, it is not in line with Li Fengyun's appetite at this time, for some reason, in the face of such a gorgeous and brilliant Du Yuan, there is an indescribable depression in his heart.
Everyone consciously avoided it, and only Li Fengyun and Du Ruyue were left in the small pavilion.
"Where's your brother, where is he? I'm going to kill him!" Li Fengyun finally couldn't help it.
Du Ruyue lowered her head and was silent, and after a long time, she said, "Are you blaming me? Blame me for not taking this breath for you." ā
Li Fengyun was stunned for a while, and only after a while did he say: "Where do I blame you? He is your brother, how can I blame you? I just saw you like this, and my heart felt uncomfortable. You shouldn't be a caged bird, so why should you be wronged? I'd rather you be noisy with me than see you like a quail. ā
"Let him go, okay?" Du Ruyue slowly raised her head, with tears in her eyes, "He, he is my brother after all, I, I can't do it, after all, I am also surnamed Du." ā
Li Fengyun sighed, roared angrily into the sky, smashed a stone lion carved of white marble on the railing with one punch, and roared: "What's wrong with your Du Mansion, forcing people to go crazy! I can't live in Du Mansion, looking at those servants and maids who are like quails, Lao Tzu's anger will rise, and I can't wait to smash this Du Mansion to pieces." ā
"You don't want to stay here, I understand! I don't want to stay here, but what can I do, this is my home!" Du Ruyue said in a low voice, "What did my father tell you?"
"He didn't say anything!" replied Li Fengyun, "he wanted me to be an obedient dog under his command, and he wanted to give me a lot of gold and silver and power, but he didn't want to hear me mention what I wanted most."
Ruyue, let's go, let's ignore the things here, okay? Let's go back to Qingping Town, no matter how much he fights in the world, it's all someone else's business, we can't take care of it!"
"I know, I know!" Two tears fell to the ground with a "snap", falling into countless jade shavings, Du Ruyue raised her head and blinked, "I promised you that I would never marry someone else again in this life, you give me some time, okay? I just want to see them safe." ā
After all, Li Fengyun did not live in the Du Mansion, but lived in a large courtyard arranged by Du Chongwei, where the eighty-six brothers and sisters who were born and died with him and the forty-five strong men who joined on the way, plus him, Mo Qingyan and Zhao Wuji.
Ma Ying and Feng Yuan'er were left in Du Mansion to accompany Du Ruyue.
After returning to Zhenzhou, Seventeen disappeared without a trace, and even Feng Yuan'er didn't know where he had gone.
Wang Dashan was lucky to survive, not only that, but in the past two days, he also organized 90 strong men in the courtyard and began training under Zhang Jun, Zhang Song, Yuan Ba and Xiao Jingyun.
After resting for the night, at noon the next day, Du Chongwei set up a banquet in Du's mansion, explaining that he wanted to reward these generals who sent Du Ruyue back safely to the strong man, and also congratulated the generals for the great victory in the Battle of Dongmen.
In the sneak attack at the east gate, the two generals Fu Yanqing and Wang Chongyin killed more than 500 Yang troops and captured more than 1,300 people at the cost of losing 57 cavalry, and successfully withdrew into the city before the enemy cavalry arrived. Among them, Li Fengyun and others are naturally indispensable.
The banquet was very pompous and lively, the main generals in the army and the main officials of Zhenzhou City came, it can be said that there was no white Ding under the seat, there were more than 40 people.
In contrast, Li Fengyun and Mo Qingyan seemed incompatible, obviously, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them were Du Ruyue's Jinlan friends, Li Fengyun was very suspicious that there would be no place for them at this banquet. However, they still can't help but come, after all, those more than 100 brothers still rely on Du Chongwei to protect them, and all supplies have to be provided by Du Chongwei.
"Everyone, today Du wants to introduce two young heroes to everyone!" Du Chongwei, who was slightly fat, stood up with the golden cup in his hand, and beckoned to Li Fengyun and Mo lightly, and said with a smile: "Li Shinephew, Mo Shinephew, don't come over quickly!"
The guests in the seat suddenly fell silent, and more than forty pairs of eyes looked at Li Fengyun and Mo Qingyan together.
Li Fengyun and Mo Qingyan left their seats and stepped forward, Du Chongwei patted the shoulders of the two of them, and said in a loud voice: "Do you know, who cleverly took away the 2,000 military horses of the Khitans? Who defeated Xiao Yuanqi with 1,000 iron horses? Who mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Yang Guangyuan's old thief outside Zhenzhou City, made the old thief embarrassed, and helped my strong man break the enemy chief at the east gate?"
