Lintai Storm Record

Touched, he was only wearing a single shirt, and was extremely embarrassed for a moment, "I will repay you when I return to Beijing."

Lu Guan's eyes moved, and he didn't know what to think, his cheekbones were flushed, and he lowered his eyes: "No, it's right to protect your subordinates. If I am in danger, you will also protect me."

can you?

He ran on the mountain road all night last night, and was making arrangements for things after he came back. Lu Guan was obviously very tired, so he went to sleep as soon as he lay down on the bed, and the bowl was also taken away.

Song Qianzhi pushed him: "Don't sleep here, go back to your room."

Lu Guan breathed evenly and fell asleep.

Song Qianzhi's eyelashes trembled, looking at Lu Guan's tightly closed eyes, his gaze then fell to his straight nose bridge and sharp lips. When those lips kissed his forehead, they were hot, almost scalding hot.Song Qianzhi really wanted to grab him by the neck and shake him awake to ask what was going on. Last night when Lu Guan was running wildly with him on his back, Song Qianzhi woke up on his back several times, or In the cold and damp cave, but as long as he opened his eyes and saw this person, he felt extremely at ease, as if he had nothing to fear.

Song Qianzhi had never felt such a feeling before.He started to provoke the entire Song family at a very young age. The Zhou family had no heirs, and it was very dangerous to walk between the emperor and the queen mother.

Song Qianzhi retracted into the quilt, turned his back to Lu Guan, and closed his eyes with a heavy heart.

Sleeping in the middle of the night, Lu Guan hugged Song Qianzhi from behind, Song Qianzhi was still awake, Lu Guan held his hand carefully, and pressed Song Qianzhi with one leg, like a beast that has been alone for too long, leaning on people keep warm.

That night, there was no snow in and outside Rongzhou City, and there was a bright moon in the sky.

Shen Yushu was transferred back to Shanfeng, and all [-] garrisons entered the mountain. When they entered Heilang Village, the whole village was in chaos. Withdrew from the village, the village owner was arrested, and the group had no leader, only the little bosses led their own team of hundreds of people to drill into the mountain indiscriminately.

Relying on the barrier of mountains and natural dangers, coupled with the tense epidemic situation in Rongzhou city, no one thought that just before the New Year's Day, the garrison in the city would suddenly attack Heilangzhai.

Immediately riding a handsome young officer and soldier, it was Shan Feng. With the map of Longjin Mountain, it didn't take much effort to find the way up the mountain.

Long Jinshan led the way with his hands tied, and Yan Licheng drew a detailed map of the village.Long Jinshan has been the second-in-charge for so many years, but he has never thoroughly figured out the armory, grain depot, and silver depot that Yan Licheng built later.He only takes his brothers down the mountain to snatch the rich people passing by, claiming to be a chivalrous man who robs the rich and helps the poor.

In the night wind, the earthen houses lined up made Shan Feng surprised and said: "Such a big place, right under the eyelids of the state capital, you really want to occupy the mountain as king." He swung the horsewhip in his hand towards Long Jinshan , was caught by Zhou Xian.

Shan Feng narrowed his eyes.

Zhou Xian said with a smile: "Master Captain led people to follow Brother Long to find food, and the cart followed to move the food." Zhou Xian let go, Shan Feng's expression was not good, he didn't say anything, and led the soldiers to follow Long Jinshan to find grain.

The carts full of grain were pulled over one by one, and it took more than an hour to move them.There are also soldiers who carry the weapons, guns, swords and halberds in bundles on their backs, or carry them in a pile by three or five people, and put them under the sacks carrying grain.

Shan Feng came over.

"What is this for? Weapons?" According to Zhou Xian's thinking, food must be pulled down the mountain immediately to distribute to the people, but weapons are unnecessary. The garrison has enough weapons, and there is no need to move the silver away now. Instead, it will be delayed. Slow return speed.

Shan Fengdao: "The Lord of the State Government orders, take them away." Following the captain's order, the carts lined up in a row and meandered down the mountain, and the torches in the forest were like a fire dragon, entangled several mountains.

An officer and soldier on horseback dragged Long Jinshan and ran around the nearest tulou. Several soldiers under him laughed and huddled together, without any serious sense of marching.

"Master Captain, Heilangzhai recruits security, and we need to use Longjinshan."

Shan Feng glanced at the officers and soldiers, but did not issue an order immediately, and said to Zhou Xian with a smile: "Your Imperial Envoy is too worried, I think Heilangzhai is not as indestructible as the rumors say, I asked someone to bring a few barrels of kerosene, and set it on fire later." Go down, and you will never suffer from future troubles."

Hearing this, Long Jinshan stopped immediately, the horse was still running, and directly dragged him to the ground, and dragged him for tens of meters before Shan Feng ordered him to let go.

Zhou Xian led Qilin Guard to ask a soldier to lead the way to find the silver vault in Heilang Village. He saw many soldiers packing silver into boxes, and was about to ask aloud when he heard a scream.

At the same time when the rope was untied from the horse, Long Jinshan suddenly jumped up. Although his hands were tied, the palms of his hands could move. Astride the horse, he lifted his still twitching body off the horse.

Zhou Xian ran out, and the qilin guard beside him snatched it out, threw out the long whip in his hand, caught the horse's hoof and pulled it back. At this moment, Long Jinshan's hands were unbound, and the moment before the big horse fell, he flew out. Holding the horse's head with both hands, he jumped out with his strength, and with a wave of the long knife in his hand, he directly split the officers and soldiers on the parallel horse in half, and he got on the horse and galloped out.

"Stop him!" Zhou Xian shouted loudly.

Shan Feng's soldiers didn't react at all, they were all so shocked by this sudden change that they couldn't move.It was too late for Shan Feng to give orders.

Long Jinshan plunged into the bushes and disappeared.

"Bastard!" Shan Feng got off his horse, picked up a soldier casually, and slapped him until the corner of his mouth bleeds.

"What are you doing in a daze?! Chase!" Shan Feng wanted to get on his horse again.

Zhou Xian grabs him.

"Don't chase after poor bandits. Captain, please order food delivery immediately. Don't worry about money. Once Longjin Mountain is on the mountain, you can lead the people from Heilangzhai to counterattack. Go back to the city immediately, close the city gates, and put up defensive facilities to defend the city." .”

Shan Feng laughed and said, "It's just bandits..."

"Go!" Zhou Xian was furious, an invisible coercion made the smile on Shan Feng's face disappear, and he was so startled by Zhou Xian's aura that he couldn't move for a long time.

"Quickly, put money in it, pour oil on fire, and finish Heilang Village!" Shan Feng ordered.

Zhou Xian couldn't believe it, and raised his fist to beat him. At this time, the grain trucks were already on the road, and Shan Feng even asked someone to bring a large wooden box and a cart to pull the official money.

Qilin Wei, who came along, signaled Zhou to go first with his eyes.

If he argues with Shan Feng again, and the gangsters counterattack, they may not even be able to keep the food.

There is no longer any delay, let him die, Zhou first asked Shan Feng to give him a thousand troops, and first returned to the city with food.Shan Feng didn't take the bandits seriously at all, and he didn't meet any resistance when he went up the mountain, and he saw a group of mobs in the Heilang village, doing their own thing, and the officers and soldiers ran away as soon as they came.He didn't want to offend the imperial envoy too much, so he distributed 1000 people to Zhou Xian, and he watched his subordinates pour oil into the village in Heilang village, and loaded the official silver into cars one by one.

Zhou Xian took the grain carts and entered the city. It was already dawn the next day, and everyone from the city guards to the people in the city was full of joy.

The food was transported into the state capital, but Shen Yushu didn't see Shan Feng, so he asked Zhou Xian what happened.

"Except for Shanfeng's [-] garrisons in Rongzhou City, there are no more troops?" Zhou Xian signaled Shen Yushu to go to the inner office.

Shen Yushu: "The Black Wolf Village is so powerful?"

"The lieutenant didn't listen to my order, and his subordinates humiliated Long Jinshan. Long Jinshan killed two officers and soldiers, snatched a horse and fled into the mountains. Please make preparations early."

"It's just one person..." Shen Yushu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Zhou Xian was making a fuss out of a molehill.

"There is no resistance on the mountain because Yan Licheng was captured by us, and the troops were dispatched quickly. The mountain was unprepared, the dragons had no leader, and the group was caught blind. Now that the people from Longjin Mountain and Heilangzhai are converging, I am afraid there will be a counterattack soon." Mr. Zhou No more talking, went inside to find Song Qianzhi and Lu Guan to discuss countermeasures.

Shen Yushu didn't take Zhou Xian's words seriously, and asked a soldier who went to suppress the bandits together, and he knew that Shan Feng was going to burn the mountain, and he brought people back to bring back the official money.

"Did he set fire to it when you left?"

"Not yet, but the lieutenant has asked someone to pour oil on the fire, and we just need to light the fire. Mr. Zhou said that it is important to transport food, so he asked the lieutenant to divide up a thousand troops and take us to transport the grain back to the city first."

Shen Yushu was sweating all over his back when he heard that, and he couldn't help thinking to himself, Shanfeng is too dangerous and there is not enough backup. At this time, once Long Jinshan summons the bandits to counterattack, the 1000 people who broke the Shanfeng belt will be small. If Longjinshan brings thousands of people down the mountain Straight to Rongzhou...

Shen Yushu couldn't sit still any longer, so he called his master and asked him to write a draft. He sent a letter to Mr. Yang, the household department, and asked him to forward it to Li Xiang, and sent another letter directly to Beiguan, imploring soldiers to support him. The third Shen Yushu sat down by himself. Come down and pick up your pen.

The state capital of Quzhou, which is adjacent to Rongzhou, and Shen Yushu were Jinshi in the same year, and we can only hope that this one can help.

☆、The Difficulty of Rongzhou ([-])

"What?!" Song Qian exploded when he heard it, "Shen Yushu wrote a contract to Long Jinshan, promising to protect the brothers in Heilangzhai. Didn't this force Shen Yushu to break his promise?"

"Don't be angry." Lu Guan said.

Song Qianzhi: "..." After calming down, Song Qianzhi suddenly thought that Shen Yushu was one of the parents, and the agreement with Long Jinshan was already countless, but Long Jinshan was obviously a man of temperament. Setting fire to the mountain forced Heilangzhai to rebel against it.

"Long Jinshan may not call here." Zhou Xian said.

Song Qianzhi didn't hear him speak and was thinking.

"There are 1 troops in the city, and 1000% of the [-] troops in Heilangzhai can fight. Shanfeng's [-] troops come back. These [-] troops are well-trained troops. They may not be defeated in a battle with bandits." Lu Guan explain.

"The people in Rongzhou who went to Heilangzhai went up the mountain only when they had nowhere to go. Shanfeng set fire to their new homes, and Long Jinshan made an appointment with Shen Yushu. Shen Yushu promised that he would not kill the people in Heilangzhai. Heilangzhai I don't know if you can hit me..." Song Qianzhi thought of something and asked Zhou Xian, "How is Shan Feng's army?"

Zhou Xian was speechless for a while.

Song Qianzhi's face was livid.

Rongzhou has not had any wars for more than a hundred years, and the Rongzhou army is only used for city defense and fortifications. As a result, Shanfeng's military capacity is not enough.

Most of the city in Rongzhou is full of sick people, and it has not been a day or two since the outbreak of the epidemic, and every household has been exhausted, so the only way to distribute the food is to let Shen Yushu gather young and middle-aged men and temporarily arrest a young man.

"It's best if Long Jinshan doesn't call." Having said that, Song Qianzhi also felt that it was impossible, this opportunity was great.

"What's the advantage of occupying Rongzhou? Heilangzhai is in the mountains. Shen Yushu didn't want to use it to make meritorious service, so he wouldn't go to encircle and suppress it. If I were Longjin Mountain, I would immediately rebuild the bandit village in the mountain and take these 1 people to occupy the mountain as a reward." King, live a happy life."

Lu Guan shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The cottage is their home."

"This is the reason. Rongzhou has been sleepy for a long time without food, and the state government's porridge can only keep everyone from starving to death. Leaving aside the old, weak, women and children, the young and middle-aged must not be full. food, and, there is a sense of peace in the village, others live well, a group of people came, robbed the food and set fire to other people's houses. Long Jinshan is going to take them to rebuild Heilang village, this Enmity will not be forgotten." Song Qianzhi's forehead was covered with cold sweat, "The most likely thing is that Rongzhou City was destroyed, the government and rich households were wiped out, and they robbed food and money, and then walked away. There is no food in the city now. Now, once it enters the shops and homes of the gentry and the rich, it will be difficult to deal with people's lives!"

Almost at the same time, Lu Guan and Song Qianzhi got up together and said to Zhou Xian: "Go and call Shen Yushu."

The candlelight was dimly shining, and the ink on the three letters was fine. Shen Yushu sealed the envelopes, and the wax was on them.

"Send it out now?" the master asked.

Shen Yushu shook his head: "Wait a minute. After today..." If Shan Feng returns smoothly and there is no action from Heilangzhai, the matter will be over.

Someone from outside reported loudly: "My lord, the imperial envoy invites you to go over."

Shen Yushu had just got up when someone came to report: "My lord! The captain has arrived at the bottom of the city, let the city gate open, will you open it or not?!"

Shen Yushu was puzzled by the question.

"Why not open?! Open the door and let the captain enter the city!"

"My lord, in addition to the Rongzhou army led by Shan Xiaowei, there is also a large group of people who come from nowhere. They don't look like an army. They have different costumes and weapons. Bandit!"

"Don't open! Immediately send a message to keep the gate of the city, and you can't open it!" Shen Yushu shouted tremblingly, his legs trembling, sweat soaked his thighs, and his whole body seemed to be filled with ice water. Only then did he come back to his senses, and looked at the master in a panic.

With a glance, the master bowed down.

"Humble job, let someone send the letter out immediately."

Shen Yushu's throat was dry, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Let the messenger be very careful, pick a few that can be beaten, and don't let the bandits intercept the letter."

Unable to wait for Shen Yushu for a long time, Song Qianzhi couldn't sit still and went to find Shen Yushu himself.Lu Guan and Zhou Xian followed closely.

"Sir Shen!"

Shen Yushu got up from behind the table, raised his sleeves and wiped his sweaty face indiscriminately, with the mustache on his lips sticking limply to his mouth, he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

"Heilangzhai is coming." Shen Yushu tremblingly said, "We have arrived at the city."

"Distribute the food that Zhou Xian brought back first, recruit young and middle-aged men on the spot, and recruit all who can fight. Immediately send people to do it." Song Qianzhi said loudly.

Shen Yushu came out from behind the table, almost stepped on the hem of his robe and fell, called a small official, and went out to recruit temporary soldiers in person.Song Qianzhi followed with a gloomy face, Shen Yushu suddenly stopped in front and was almost knocked over by Song Qianzhi.

"Young Master is recuperating in the inner yamen, and the two imperial envoys lent me..."

Song Qianzhi didn't let Shen Yushu finish his sentence, and said calmly, "I'm fine. At this time, will Mr. Shen still want to part with us?"

Shen Yushu complained endlessly: "That's not what it means."

"Then go quickly, Shengmin is the first, and when the immediate distress is resolved, I will explain it to you in front of the emperor."

Song Qianzhi's words undoubtedly gave Shen Yushu a reassurance. Shen Yushu straightened his back and strode out, anxious to stay behind and recruit young and middle-aged men from various families to fight.Zhou Xian personally led people to watch, and distributed five catties of grain to all those who applied for the draft.

There was chaos at the city gate, and arrows flew randomly.

Song Qianzhi led Lu Guan to go up against the wind, but was blocked with a knife, and the people above roared: "Idle people, please go home and close your account immediately, who told you to break in here!"

"I'm an imperial envoy. The state capital has gone to recruit troops. Let me go up and see what's going on!"

"Master Imperial Envoy?!" The soldier hurried to find the officer.

Song Qianzhi was about to rush up, but was dragged behind by Lu Guan. As Lu Guan walked up, he signaled Song Qianzhi to follow.

Suddenly an arrow approached in front of him, and flew past Lu Guan's head, and fell to the ground beyond his strength.

Song Qianzhi couldn't help cursing in his heart, the city wall of Rongzhou City was too low, has the fucking Long Jinshan already reached the city?

At this moment, a shock came from under the feet, and someone was hitting the city gate.

Under the cover of Lu Guan, Song Qianzhi climbed up the tower, hid behind the wall and looked down. A large number of officers and soldiers died, all of whom were brought out by Shan Feng.Song Qianzhi has practiced riding and archery since he was a child, and his eyesight is not bad. He quickly searched for the armor Shan Feng was wearing in the dark crowd. Almost burst into tears.

"Dan Feng is dead!" Song Qianzhi leaned over and said to Lu Guan.

Lu saw his eyes were red, and said in distaste: "If you die, you will die. It's too bad luck to be a soldier under that guy!"

Song Qianzhi also felt something.

At this time, a person rushed to the front and saluted Song Qianzhi.

"Master Imperial Envoy, humble post Ma Yufeng."

Song Qianzhi quickly asked him to get up: "What's going on next? Are you hitting the city gate?"

"Please rest assured, my lord, the city gate was just strengthened half a month ago, and the city gate can be guarded!"

Song Qianzhi relaxed a little bit, not daring to brave the arrow rain to stand on the tower, went down with Lu Guan, and went back to the government office to find Shen Yushu.

Lu Guan led Song Qianzhi on horseback. Song Qianzhi was so preoccupied that he always felt that he had forgotten something very important.

At noon, Shen Yushu led two left-behinds to gather [-] young and middle-aged men in Rongzhou City. Half of the state government offices were sick, and half were young people who had just gathered.

The yamen is serving food, which is good for defending the city.

Lu Guan brought rice to Song Qianzhi, it was a bowl of boiled rice with a pinch of pickles, which was much better than the porridge distributed to the victims.Lu Guan took out a paper bag, tore off half a chicken leg and put it in Song Qianzhi's bowl.

Song Qianzhi: "???"

"I went to the kitchen to find something to eat last night, but I didn't finish it."

Song Qianzhi pressed the chicken leg meat into the soup and rice with chopsticks to warm it up, dumbfounded. The two squatted together and ate the food, and they didn't hide in it anymore.While eating Song Qianzhi, he looked at the young and middle-aged men scattered around the inner yamen eating together in twos and threes. There were not many people wearing uniforms of officers and soldiers, and they were all taken to guard the city by Zhou Xian.

Song Qianzhi never expected that they just came to watch Shen Yushu distribute the relief food, and now so many things are involved.

The cold wind caused headaches, and Song Qianzhi still had a fever, but he knew that he must not go to sleep at this time. Shen Yushu was a civil servant. , Heilangzhai rushed in, and Shen Yushu's indecisive and indecisive personality could be seen at a glance. At any rate, he had the status of a young master to give Shen Yushu a little confidence, and neither Lu Guan nor Zhou Xian could give Shen Yushu this level.

"What can these recruits do?"

Song Qianzhi slipped out without passing through his brain: "Be a wall, block it."

Lu Guan's eyebrows moved.

"Are you betting that Long Jinshan won't be serious about innocent people?"

"As long as we can survive today, Long Jinshan will not enter the city, and his people have no food. We can talk about it at that time, and share the food. Heilangzhai is nothing to be afraid of." However, Song Qianzhi's expression did not relax at all.

"Is there anything else that worries you?" Lu watched.

"I couldn't figure it out at the moment." Song Qianzhi's face was a little red from the fever, he bit his lip, and his lips were flushed, attracting Lu Guan's eyes.Lu Guan didn't hide it, just looked at him so seriously.

With a thought in Song Qianzhi's mind, he suddenly wanted to go up and kiss Lu Guan's lips, which were soft and warm in his impression.Song Qian slapped himself on the forehead, and suddenly uttered two words: "Authentic."

Lu Guan's face changed, and he immediately got up to find Shen Yushu, and asked Song Qianzhi to sit there and eat.

How can Song Qianzhi still eat now? There are many victims in Rongzhou City who are biased toward Heilangzhai. Who are these people and how many are there? The enemy is in the dark and we are in the open.Song Qianzhi put down the bowl, summoned a small official, and told him to go and find Huang Wu immediately.

Many people around were looking at Song Qianzhi, and one of the young men dawdled over and asked cautiously, "My lord, are we really going out of town to fight?"

The man was obviously a little scared, Song Qianzhi scanned the group of people, and almost read similar emotions from everyone's face, they were all afraid.

"Try to hold on, I hope not." Song Qianzhi really didn't know what to say, he didn't expect that after Rongzhou, someone would assassinate him and Lu Guan first, and then the most reliable doctor in Rongzhou was also killed. That means someone is waiting for Rongzhou to mess up.

Who will this person be?Not Longjinshan.Yan Licheng?Yan Licheng is still in prison.Yan Licheng used to be Qilin Guard...

Song Qianzhi stood up suddenly, his feet were floating, but fortunately the young man gave him a hand, and he was able to stand still.

"What's the matter with you, my lord?"

"Zhou Xian..." Song Qianzhi murmured, he just wanted to find someone to take him to the city wall to find Zhou Xian, and then remembered that he had to wait for Lu Guan here, where did Lu Guan go?typical.

When people around saw Song Qianzhi staggering and running out, two of them followed and kept saying, "My lord, you don't look well, do you want to take a rest?"

Song Qianzhi couldn't hear what others were saying, and Huang Wu was brought by the petty official, Song Qianzhi's eyes faded away, and he grabbed Huang Wu.

Huang Wu leaned on crutches and was terribly frightened, but seeing Song Qian's sick face and bandages on his hands, he didn't dare to do anything wrong.

"Master Song, what's wrong with you?"

"Tunnel." Panting Song Qianzhi, "The family that Li Gao took us to that day had a tunnel leading to the outside of the city. Do you know that tunnel?"

Huang Wu subconsciously shook his head.

"Say it, I know you know!"

Huang Wu was lifted by Song Qianzhi, like a chicken with its neck cut off, its knees were weak.

"Master Song, please let go, I'll take you there now." Huang Wuer didn't say much, he was a local squire, and his ancestors also had fame, and he had already received the news that Heilangzhai was calling.

Could this Huang Wu know that the people who went to Heilangzhai all came out of the city through the tunnel?Naturally, I knew it clearly in my heart, so I just turned a blind eye.But if bandits from Heilangzhai came in and ransacked, Huang Wu didn't want to see it. He also had a few shops in the city.So he took Song Qianzhi to that family to find a tunnel.

Song Qianzhi was in a panic, wondering if Lu Guan had brought someone there already?What about Long Jinshan?If Long Jinshan attacked earlier, the vicinity of the tunnel would be very dangerous.

Song Qianzhi recruited a yamen servant and asked him to find the officials in the yamen immediately, and immediately blocked the tunnel exit of the government yamen.

Under Huang Wu's leadership, Song Qianzhi brought twenty newly recruited young people to the family's backyard, and before they entered the last door, they heard endless shouting and killing.

Song Qianzhi thumped in his heart, and stepped forward to push the door.

A bright blade sticks out from the door, with blood on the blade.

"My lord, be careful!" One person pulled Song Qianzhi away.

The knife retracted, and the other kicked the door open.

I saw the officers and soldiers in the gate mingling with the bandits, the scene was horrible, and there were dead people lying here and there on the ground.

Song Qianzhi was short of breath, gasped twice, caught Lu Guan's bright chest, only Lu Guan never dressed properly.

There were only a few enemies in the enemy, Song Qianzhi rushed in with his people, and ordered: "You don't have to kill them all, but restrain them all! Seal the tunnel! Quick!"

☆、The Difficulty of Rongzhou (pick up four)

Song Qianzhi's physical strength has not yet fully recovered, so he picked up a knife and threw it away, and rushed into the battlefield screaming, or chopped off the enemy's arms, shoulders, thighs, or knocked people unconscious with the back of the knife.

Seeing that there were only a few thugs left standing, several more crawled out of the tunnel entrance.

Lu Guan collected materials from the spot, lifted the water tank of tens of kilograms beside him, and let out a stern shout, which shocked the culprits for a moment.

The half of the head that had just drilled out of the tunnel mouth immediately retracted.

"Get down!" Lu Guan filled the water tank into the entrance of the tunnel, and there were several screams of pain from below.

The rest of the gangsters who crawled out were restrained, and they all knelt down and begged for mercy, or they were unconscious.

Song Qian, sweating all over his back, stepped over the people who were lying on the ground, and walked up in three steps at a time.

Just as Lu Guan was about to speak, he was hugged by Song Qianzhi, who pressed his whole body against his chest, making Lu Guan completely frozen on the spot, at a loss, his face turned red from the base of his neck, his eyes beckoned to follow All the soldiers stopped looking, their big hands were waving back and forth behind Song Qianzhi.

Song Qianzhi grabbed Lu Guan's palm with his backhand, briefly stroked his palm, and pressed his palm against his lower back.

Lu Guan's face turned red, as if he was drunk.

"Master Song..."

"Master Lu is very skillful and courageous." Song Qianzhi looked up at Lu Guan with a smile, the corners of his mouth were stern, trying to say something.

At this time, Huang Wu came in with the head of the household, crying for a while, which disturbed all the feelings in Song Qianzhi's heart.

It was near dusk, Song Qianzhi and Lu Guan escorted Huang Wu, and led people to seal all the tunnels in the city that should be sealed. In fact, there were only two places, one was the one that escaped from the city that day, and the other was the tunnel in the state government office. strip.After filling it with clods of sand and soil, people were sent to guard it.

If someone comes out of the tunnel again, it's easy to defend but hard to attack, just hit it on the forehead with whatever.

When he returned to the prefectural government office to eat, Song Qianzhi was already dizzy from hunger. When the food was served, he thought it was delicious.

I couldn't laugh or cry when I saw Shen Yushu.

The day had passed too long, and the entire Rongzhou city was in chaos. At this moment, Shen Yushu put down his chopsticks, feeling rather unwilling to eat.

"We still have to eat. Heilangzhai is still guarding outside the city. How can Mr. Shen have the strength to lead the army and the people to resist if he doesn't eat enough?" Song Qianzhi persuaded, struggled to sit up with his stomach full, and filled himself with another bowl of ham Soup.

"I, Shen Yushu, have been an official for many years. I have always believed that the superiors are worthy of the sky, and the inferiors are worthy of the emperor. I never thought that such a thing would happen when I was in Rongzhou." Shen Yushu sighed.

Both Song Qianzhi and Lu Guan knew that even if Heilangzhai hadn't invaded the city, Shen Yushu had already handed out a letter asking for help, and this matter could no longer be covered.And if Heilangzhai invaded, Shen Yushu would be escorted to Beijing for questioning.

"In front of the emperor, I will definitely intercede for you." Song Qianzhi promised.This Shen Yushu is already more conscientious than most officials, if he is questioned, it will definitely chill the hearts of the local officials.

Shen Yushu just smiled, didn't speak, and forced himself to swallow two mouthfuls of soup.

"Master Song is right, we still have to eat." Shen Yushu said helplessly, staring at the door blankly, eating and drinking in a daze.

·

Eight hundred li urgently sent the report to the imperial palace. Fu Mingshao had just picked up the chopsticks in the imperial palace and hadn't eaten yet.

Sun Xiu, the chief eunuch, risked his life to enter the inner hall to play, and the queen got up wisely and entered the inner hall.

Fu Mingshao wiped his hands, unfolded the general newspaper, his complexion changed immediately, and he came back to his senses after a long while, and told Sun Xiu with a deathly face: "Brief Li Xianghe and the six ministers, immediately enter the palace and discuss matters in the Chengyuan Hall."

Sun Xiucai was about to go out, but was called back by Fu Mingshao, who walked back and forth anxiously.

Sun Xiu bowed her head and waited quietly.

After a few breaths, Fu Mingshao made a decision, and said to Sun Xiu: "I have to alarm the Queen Mother, Feng Jia, and invite the Queen Mother to Chengyuan Hall."

The Chengyuan Hall was brightly lit. The first person to arrive was Leng Ding, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, followed by Yang Wen of the Ministry of Households, and Qin Yuning of the Ministry of War. He stepped in very unhappily, almost fell down, and asked Qin Yuning to help him.

Qin Yuning: "Did Mr. Rong use up his dinner?"

Rong Hui sat down, wiped his sweat, panted and shook his head.

"A few old friends came to visit, and we are about to start the banquet, so we have to wait."

Yao Jiqu and Li Yeyuan from the Ministry of Punishment arrived together, and a young eunuch ran away quickly outside the door.

All the ministers stood up: "Li Xiang."

Li Yeyuan's face was tired. He had an ordinary appearance, especially thick and messy eyebrows. He had only one pair of eyes, which were shining brightly, and gave people a sharp feeling when staring at people. He had been the chief assistant for many years, and his aura was not overwhelming, but Naturally, some people dare not speak nonsense in front of him.

After Li Xiang took his seat, the rest of the talents sat down again.

The palace servants served tea, Li Yeyuan picked it up, and the ministers also picked it up. Qin Yuning was the first to get the news. He was really thirsty after a while at the Ministry of War, so he took a sip, and Li Yeyuan put down the teacup again.

The other four ministers also put down their tea.

Qin Yuning stretched his neck and swallowed the tea in a loud voice.

Li Yeyuan just woke up from his trance and laughed.

All the people present here are human beings, Qin Yuning couldn't help but smiled mischievously, no longer scruples, picked up the tea and drank it to the bottom, and raised his voice to call the palace servants to come in for more tea.

After a while, the emperor, accompanied by the chief eunuch, stepped into the Chengyuan Hall and took the seat of honor. The officials got up, and Fu Mingshao waved his hands wearily.

Sun Xiu hurriedly said: "My lords, there is no need to be too polite." Turning around and exiting the hall, the door of the Chengyuan Hall was still open.

There was an empty seat on the right side of Fu Mingshao, he tilted his head sideways, and Zhi Yi was lost in thought.

Hubu Shangshu Yang Wen couldn't sit still for a long time, and wanted to speak, his eyes slipped past Li Yeyuan's hand, and seeing his palm shake slightly, he had to grit his teeth and force himself to sit still.

A palace lantern was lit from the entrance of Chengyuan Hall, followed by thousands of palace lanterns, with Chengyuan Hall as the central axis, illuminating the entire palace.

"The queen mother is here." The eunuch's characteristic squeaky voice announced.

Several ministers all looked surprised and uncertain.

Li Yeyuan, who was expressionless, also moved his brows slightly, and got up along with the other ministers.

The Empress Dowager Zhou did not show people in court clothes. She wore a black and red flower-phoenix robe, gold ornaments on her head, and her whole body was full of pearls and emeralds.She looked solemn, and when she approached, Fu Mingshao got up respectfully and stretched out his hand to support her.

The Empress Dowager took the seat on the emperor's right hand, followed by the emperor, and the six officials sat down again one after another.

Li Yeyuan was the chief assistant and held the title of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the military newspaper was obtained in the palace.

Qin Yuning got up and went out before Yang Wen could speak.

"Your Majesty, if Hei Di attacks from Baimingdu, if Meng Qinfeng can't resist, he will have to pass through Fengping Gorge, pass through Quzhou to Rongzhou, and then enter Beijing on the Rongzhou Road."

"Fengping Gorge is dangerous and difficult, and the Heidi people can't break it. Please don't worry too much, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, just wait for General Meng's good news." Rong Hui spoke slowly, so softly that it made people want to sleep.

Fu Mingshao put his hands on the cup, lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at him, and asked Qin Yuning directly: "If Hei Di drives straight in, how many days will it take to attack the capital?" She looked as usual, not panicked.When the Empress Dowager Zhou was a queen, she followed her husband to conquer in person. She was not afraid of swords and soldiers, and she was the daughter of a great Confucian. Back then, Zhou Taifu was good at riding and shooting, and the eldest daughter he taught was brave and resourceful. The threshold of the house is broken.

"Within half a month." Qin Yuning didn't say anything.

"The minister has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

After receiving the words of the Empress Dowager Zhou, Qin Yuning said: "The major towns in the south were all disaster-stricken last year. The garrison was short of horses and horses, and there was not enough money and food. There are few people to fight, so we must deploy early."

"What arrangement?" Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry said coldly, "Nangong was built for decades, and when the capital was moved, it was a waste of time and money. I don't know what Master Qin means by this." Leng Ding is from Huizhou. Some officials joked behind his back that the Metropolitan Procuratorate should let him go, and that he was put in the Ministry of Industry by countless people, but he had a good time with Marquis Anding. There are a lot of romantic affairs, and I don't know where these two people have the right appetite.

Qin Yuning was also angry: "The last time the capital was moved, Mr. Leng should have just reached his age, right?"

The Empress Dowager Zhou coughed lightly.

The two immediately fell silent and looked at her.

The Empress Dowager Zhou said: "Meng Qinfeng is too young. I am afraid that he will not be able to resist for a long time. He urgently delivered it to the Zhennan Army and asked Mu Dingbang to transfer troops to Fengping Gorge. The details of where to fortify and ambush will be coordinated by various ministries. Li Xiang, I will trouble you again." You, your great responsibility, must be guarded."

Yang Wen, who had been silent all this time, had no choice but to come out and said: "The Ministry of Households will go to allocate money and food tonight, and I will definitely assist the Ministry of War with all my strength, and I will support the frontline operations with all my strength, along with Master Qin's Shan Minggu."

Yao Jiqu from the Ministry of Punishment remained silent.

Li Yeyuan was also silent.

The key is that before the emperor spoke, the Empress Dowager Zhou turned to ask Fu Mingshao, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

After a long time, Fu Mingshao glanced at Qin Yuning, then turned his gaze to Yang Wen, and asked: "This year, the harvests are poor everywhere, and there are still a few days until the end of the new year. The tax and grain put into the warehouse are less than half of what they used to be. Opening the treasury, we can get 10 How long does it take for an army of ten thousand people to eat?"

Yang Wen's complexion was not good, as if he hadn't slept for many days.

"It can last until the beginning of spring at most, so this battle can only be decided quickly. It is best to stop the war at Fengping Gorge, and drive the Heidi people out of the East China Sea. If the battle can be stopped at Fengping Gorge, the battle can be completed in ten days at most , Your Majesty need not worry about money and food."

At this time, Li Yeyuan finally said: "Mu Dingbang is good at navy, and he will send Lin Min from Lingzhou to go there. He must conquer the Heidi people at the mouth of Fengpingxia, and the victory will be determined before we discuss the next step."

"Then I'll leave it to Li Xiang." Fu Mingshao stepped down from the chair, walked up to Li Yeyuan, and patted him on the shoulder.

Li Yeyuan bowed quickly.

The emperor went out in a crowd of stars, followed by the Empress Dowager Zhou. The mother and son had something to say, so they went elsewhere.The six ministers withdrew and went back to their respective departments to arrange things. Yao Jiqu went home alone, and Li Yeyuan went to the Ministry of War.

It was night, no one in Rongzhou City dared to sleep, and the recruits were short of weapons, so Zhou Xian ordered people to untie the weapons under the grain bags.

"I didn't expect Shan Feng to have such foresight." Zhou Xian said with a wry smile.

Song Qianzhi sighed when he recalled the tragic scene of Shan Feng being crucified to death on the silver cart by bandits in Heilangzhai.

"Let's guard it. The people in Heilangzhai didn't bring any luggage. If they can't break through before dawn, they will break through without breaking through."
