Chapter 430: A Terrible Crossbow
When Chen Dongyue returned to the north gate, Hu Zhuangtou had already taken the tenants and small animals to Ci'an Hall.
As for the food and fodder, Chen Dongyue asked Hu Zhuangtou to take a part of it first, and the rest could be brought back in a few carts every day.
The entire situation is still uncertain and no one knows what Liaocheng will face next.
At this time, the North Gate had been taken over by Prince Kang's Mansion.
Also, officials from the yamen, including Sun Tongzhi, Jiang Tongpan, and Ma Jingcheng, were called to the north gate.
When Chen Dongyue went over, he happened to hear Prince Kang saying to Ma Jingcheng, "Take your men down immediately and declare martial law for the entire city, with a curfew for the whole day."
Before Ma Jingcheng could reply, he heard Prefect Sun say, "Sir, a full-day curfew is not appropriate... The people need to eat and drink, how can they live with a full-day curfew?"
If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him was the Prince of Kang, Lord Sun would really have cursed.
He was doing his job in the yamen, but was suddenly taken to the north gate.
But Prince Kang did not clearly explain what the situation was now.
I just thought there were some bad guys outside...
As for who the bad guys are... Lord Sun has no idea.
It was so unclear, and suddenly they announced a curfew, and a curfew for the whole day... Even if the people agreed, Sun Hanwen would not agree.
Why? !
why? !
What are you doing? !
When the prince heard Lord Sun's objection, he did not argue with him any more. He just stood up and said, "Let's impose a curfew for two days. If they starve to death in two days..."
"That does mean he won't live long."
The one who spoke was a white-faced eunuch.
But Lord Sun had never seen him.
Who is this person? !
Lord Sun, whose mind was in a mess, looked at Judge Jiang beside him.
Unexpectedly, Judge Jiang raised his chin slightly and looked at the sky with a hollow look in his eyes, as if he was out of his body.
This man's condition shows that he is even more confused than Lord Sun.
What happened?
Prince Kang...Is this the Prince Kang?
So how did the prince suddenly appear in Liaocheng? !
Why did the city gates suddenly close again?
Who are those people outside the city gate who look neither like soldiers nor a bit like soldiers? !
Who can tell him if he is dreaming?
Otherwise, why would such a strange and incomprehensible scene appear?
what?
What happened?
Why, in such a hot day, didn't he suffer from heatstroke like Magistrate Meng?
It would be nice if I could get rid of the heat stroke.
He no longer has to stand under the scorching sun, doubting life, doubting the world, doubting... the authenticity of everything.
"Hey! Judge Jiang!" Lord Sun pushed Judge Jiang and said, "Stop being in a daze. Hurry up and write the official document and take the people to the curfew!"
Judge Jiang then said "Oh~~~" and found that the prince had disappeared long time ago, so he followed Lord Sun and wanted to go to the yamen.
But Lord Sun suddenly saw Chen Dongyue who was about to go up to the tower. He was quick to stop Chen Dongyue and said, "Dongyue Dongyue, I have something to ask you."
"If you want to ask me what happened, I really don't know. My Lord, please don't worry. I will go upstairs to ask Song Ke and then send a letter to your family later."
Chen Dongyue kept talking but he didn't stop walking.
Lord Sun couldn't stop her at all.
So I could only shout to her: "Then remember to deliver the letter!!"
Chen Dongyue, who had already walked far away, raised his hand and waved, indicating that he understood.
However, just as he reached the stairs of the city wall, Chen Dongyue was stopped by someone.
At this time, she didn't see Song Ke and others, so she turned around and went back to her home without saying a word.
funny.
If she can't climb up the city wall, she can at least climb up her own wall, right? !
A moment later, Chen Dongyue stood on the city wall.
The white-faced eunuch was startled by the woman in red who suddenly appeared on the city wall.
He pierced his throat, pointed at Chen Dongyue and yelled: "Someone is coming, hurry up... There's an assassin coming up!!"
Everyone was startled and aimed their newly adjusted bows and crossbows at Chen Dongyue.
"stop!!!"
"do not move!!!"
Song Ke and Ji Chongning's voices came at the same time.
After a few breaths, another voice shouted, "Ahhhhhhhh!!! One of us, she is one of us!"
This is the Prince of Yongan.
Men with big butts probably have slower nerve conduction.
At this time, Song Ke was already standing in front of Chen Dongyue.
With a dark face, he said to Ji Chongning who was a step behind him: "Tell them to put down their bows and crossbows."
Ji Chongning yelled: "Brother, we are in the same group!!"
"These bows and crossbows...don't tell me I bought them to suppress bandits?" Chen Dongyue's voice sounded at the right time.
"Yes," Song Ke nodded and said, "I took part of the Beilin Army with me, and more than 200 of them stayed in the old guard post.
Just when I went to get it, you were gone."
At this moment, the white-faced eunuch who had been shouting just now had come closer.
He held a handkerchief in his hand and asked Ji Chongning in a low voice, "Sir, who is this woman?"
"......Chen Dongyue, Director Chen." Ji Chongning introduced.
Song Ke immediately responded, "She is my wife."
The white-faced eunuch raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Ji Chongning, and then smiled while pinching his handkerchief: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was our family who misunderstood. We are all family, family."
Chen Dongyue didn't say anything, just smiled at the eunuch, then turned and looked outside the city.
At this time, there were about three thousand soldiers gathered outside the city.
As for the people in the city, Chen Dongyue estimated that there were about three to four thousand people.
By this calculation, if a fight really breaks out, they may not necessarily lose.
but.......
"Ji Chongning," Chen Dongyue turned to look at Ji Chongning and asked, "What are your plans now?"
"Wait." Ji Chongning replied.
"Wait?" Song Ke, who suddenly squeezed in between Chen Dongyue and Ji Chongning, was a little puzzled, "Wait for what?"
Wait for the emperor to die?
Or wait for the emperor to wake up?
"Wait for news from the capital." Ji Chongning's answer was very vague.
Chen Dongyue frowned and said, "I'm afraid that the news from the capital has not yet arrived, but the King of Qi's troops have arrived first. Look!"
After saying that, Chen Dongyue raised his hand towards the distance.
The other two looked in the direction Chen Dongyue pointed.
well.
Not bad.
Another large group of people came.
At this time, Prince Yong'an also came over.
He also looked in the direction Chen Dongyue pointed.
Then...Prince Kang came.
He was puzzled. "The wall is so wide, why do you four have to stand close together? Isn't it hot?"
The four of them then realized that their faces were almost touching each other.
Ji Chongning pushed Prince Yong'an away with disdain, then stepped aside and yelled at Song Ke, "What are you doing?! You're standing so close to me!"
"you........."
Know well.
Bullshit.
Song Ke thought.
But he didn't say this out loud.
After all, for some reason, that psychopath named Geng Hui had been staring at him from the very beginning as if he were his enemy from several lifetimes.
Song Ke didn't want them to start fighting before the fight outside started.
"You guys..." Chen Dongyue, who was already exhausted, tried to focus these people's attention on serious matters, "Can you guys first think about how to deal with this group of people outside?"
But just as she finished her words, she saw the white-faced eunuch who had just been beside them, suddenly rushed to the horse in front.
Then I heard him opening his voice with "cough, cough, hey, hey, hey~~~~".
Next...
"Everyone down there, listen to me!!
Convey the Empress Dowager's oral order!
She wants to recuperate in Liaocheng.
From now on, no one is allowed to disturb me.
From now on, no one is allowed to enter Liaocheng without permission!
Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!!!"
After saying this, Ji Chongning shrugged at Chen Dongyue.
Chen Dongyue was shocked: "That's it?! That's all?!!"
Just as he finished speaking, someone outside the city shouted, "Your Highness, Prince Qi, we respectfully invite the Empress Dowager to go to Yicheng for recuperation! I hope the Empress Dowager will do you the honor."
"No reward!" The white-faced eunuch shouted to the crowd without hesitation, "Go back and tell the King of Qi that the Empress Dowager likes to stay in Liaocheng and will not go anywhere else.
If you don’t retreat, the King of Qi will punish you for treason!!! Are you going to retreat or not?!"
The conversation was over.
The reinforcements from Prince Qi’s Palace arrived just at this time.
Not only did the people below not retreat, but there were more of them.
There are probably four to five thousand people blocking the city gate now.
"Okay, okay...just wait for us!" The white-faced eunuch ran back crying.
As he ran, he shouted, "Ready your crossbows! Shoot them into hedgehogs for us."
Song Ke and Ji Chongning said at the same time: "No!!"
"What?" Prince Kang thought the two had some other strategies.
Song Ke's eyes flickered.
Ji Chongning said: "This crossbow...can't shoot the people below."
"Huh?!" Prince Kang was speechless, "What's the range?!"
"One zhang." Ji Chongning replied.
The batch of bows and crossbows left in the old guard post were all toy bows and crossbows that had not been modified.
Song Ke forgot about this matter because he was in a hurry just now.
Ji Chongning exaggerated the range by saying it was ten feet... In reality, even two meters would be difficult.
For some reason, Chen Dongyue suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
She quickly raised her hand and said, "You guys keep scolding me, I'll find someone to fix it! I know a lot of carpenters!"
Brother Qiao, now it’s up to you!
