Lintai Storm Record

Fu Mingshao, then this eunuch should have the same opportunity to assassinate Fu Mingshao, but he didn't do it.There are two possibilities, one is that he only wants to kill Liu Yun, and the other is that his target also has Fu Mingshao, but he just didn't have time to do it.

Then, Li Mingchang came to look for him, and Liu Suguang entered the hall to avoid Li Mingchang.So Li Mingchang was chasing Liu Suguang originally, but Liu Suguang disappeared, and Li Mingchang didn't see any panic.

There are also two possibilities. One is that Li Mingchang originally wanted to find Lu Guan in the dormitory, which coincided with Liu Suguang's panic escape route. Liu Suguang thought that Li Mingchang was chasing her, but in fact he was not. Li Mingchang came to find Lu Guan in the first place.

This idea was almost immediately denied by Lu Guan in his heart.

After Li Mingchang entered the door, he glanced in the direction of the bed. Lu Guan was very familiar with that look. He knew there was someone on the bed, but he didn't explain it.Afterwards, Li Mingchang proposed to ask Lu Guan to persuade Fu Mingshao that as long as the emperor of Dachu was willing to become a vassal state of Amodanrong and pay tribute every year, Amodanrong would provide protection for Dachu, help the court of Dachu, and bring the black Di kicked out.

This move means courtesy before soldiers, and it is also why Duo Qiduo will come to Fu Mingshao's empress ceremony. The cavalry has already suppressed the situation. If Fu Mingshao does not agree to submit to Amodanjung, the next step is to meet swordsmen.

Fu Mingshao was not stupid either, he kept Duo Qiduo in the palace, Duo Qiduo only brought with him a dozen or so masters, but the Great Chu Palace had twice as many guards.

In the past few days, Fu Mingshao also released all the Qilin Guards, promising them a lot of money and emphasizing both kindness and prestige.However, Fu Mingshao still didn't trust them enough and only let them guard outside the hall.

If the Qilin Guard was still the king's hidden guard, what happened today would not have happened.

Lu Guan got up and closed the window, the wound on his abdomen was still painful, and his whole body was sore after lying down for a long time.He raised his hand suddenly, there was a deep scar on his arm, which caught Lu Guan's attention, he held the scar with his other hand, and felt a bit hot.

·

"No, absolutely not. It's too risky for you to go there alone." Song Qianzhi rejected Zhou Xian's proposal. For some reason, there were people on both sides of a big river not far from the south of the village and town only tens of miles away from Qizhou. Set up an ambush.

Xu Ruiyun went to check it out. Heidi's small army set up a simple archery tower on the north bank of the river. To cross the river, you need to pass a bridge. Before Song Qianzhi and the others returned to Beijing from Qizhou, they also passed this bridge. There was no sign of the Hades at all.

Song Qianzhi thought about it, and asked Xu Ruiyun, "Are you sure it's the Heidi soldier?"

"I'm sure, they all speak Heidi. If it's fake, you don't need to be so cautious in private conversations. Besides, no one wants to cross the river. If we want to cross the river, it will definitely be very eye-catching." Xu Ruiyun said, "I have a Method."

Song Qianzhi also thought of it, and could pass through the water.

Xu Ruiyun said: "After dark, I observed the location of the watchtower. If we wade through the water a hundred meters upstream or downstream from the watchtower, we will be able to reach General Baiguyou's barracks tomorrow."

"Is the river deep these days?"

"It's not a wet season now, but the river is flowing fast and the water is turning yellow. I inquired before I came back. The rainy season here starts in May. After May, the river will officially enter the wet season. The river now carries a lot of mud. Sand, the deepest part of the water reaches more than two meters. Among the few of us, Zhou Xian, is your water quality better, or mine?"

Lu Lin threw away the straw in his hand, stood up from the haystack, patted his chest and said, "Both of you can't swim better than me, so what's more than two meters?"

Song Qianzhi knows this very well. When Lu Lin was young, he was called the Little White Dragon in the Waves among the young masters. He also liked water. He could jump into the water from a river bridge five or six meters high, as nimbly as The dragon that goes out to sea.

Zhou Xian objected: "Lord Lu is the commander of the imperial army, if something happens..."

Lu Lin patted Zhou Xian on the shoulder: "Are you afraid that I will take your credit?"

Zhou Xian had nothing to say, so he had to let Lu Lin go.

That night, Lu Lin first swam across the river. Before crossing the river, he nailed a 30-meter-long iron cable and several rotating shafts into the stone wall on the river bank.

According to the plan, after Lu Lin landed on the opposite side, he would nail the iron cable into the rock wall on the other bank. After fixing it, Lu Lin would release the signal flare, and when he saw the thin green line lift into the air, he would fix the person on the iron cable with a rope. Anyone who knows how to swim must do this to prevent the water from flowing too fast. The loss of any one person is a huge damage to Song Qianzhi and his small team.

Halfway through Lu Lin's men, Tiesuo began to transport the horses.

It is [-] meters away from the archery tower, so it is very safe.However, when they started hanging horses, everyone realized that it was not so easy.

Song Qianzhi was riding a horse that Lu Guan brought to Beijing from Quzhou. He didn't know the name of the horse, but this black horse was very human, and after several days of galloping, it had already faintly become the leader of the horses.

They used a rope to fix the horse's hooves on the rope, and Song Qianzhi wrapped the hemp rope around the horse's back and buttocks a few times, making the horse feel like it was leaning against a rope pocket.Song Qianzhi has been touching the horse's mane, ears, and whispering to it.

Lu Guan's horse didn't struggle too much, and Song Qianzhi never took his eyes off the horse after it was hung from the slope.

In the middle of the river, the entire iron chain suddenly trembled violently.

Song Qianzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly roared, "Stop!"

Holding the iron chain in his hand, Xu Ruiyun glared at him: "You can't stop! You listen to me, work hard, and you will be able to go ashore soon."

Song Qianzhi opened his mouth, his throat and tongue were dry.

"Continue!" Xu Ruiyun ordered.

The spindle moved again.

Lu Guan's horse suddenly struggled in the middle of the river for some reason. Its fur was black and it couldn't see clearly from here. The darkness was the best cover.

At this moment, the sound of metal coming out of the stone cracks on the stone wall came to my ears.

"Stop!" Song Qianzhi yelled loudly, rushed forward and held down the iron cone that fixed the rotating shaft, "Zhou Xian! You bring two people up, don't pull it!"

Song Qianzhi's palm was broken, he pressed the iron awl tightly, and a small part of the iron awl was stuck in the crack of the stone, if it came out completely, he would not be able to hold it down.Song Qianzhi turned his head and glanced at the river.

Surprisingly, the black horse stopped struggling, and quietly stared at Song Qianzhi in mid-air.

Song Qianzhi couldn't see the horse's eyes clearly, and the horse, which was still writhing just now, was very quiet now.

"Quick, nail this in!" Song Qianzhi made room for someone to use a stone hammer to reinforce the iron cone into the stone wall, but as soon as he let go, he felt that the iron cone was still coming out, and Song Qianzhi was sweating Said: "It doesn't work here, we need to change the location."

Zhou Xiandao: "No! You can't hold the iron chain. Now you can still hold it because the iron cone has not been completely released. Once it is released, a horse weighs two thousand catties. Even if your arm is pulled and broken, you can't save the horse. .”

Sweat dripped down the brows and pierced into Song Qianzhi's eyes, causing pain in the eyes. Tears oozed from the corners of his eyes, his body was covered in sweat, and he shouted, "Then what should I do?!"

"Give up the horse! It won't drown or fall!"

Song Qianzhi looked at the horse repeatedly.

That was Lu Guan's horse.

The whole body of the horse is pitch black, no matter how dark the night is, the longer you stay in the dark, the eyes will be able to adapt to the dark environment.The horse's beautiful fur was thicker and purer than Ye Hei.

Song Qianzhi couldn't see its eyes clearly at all, but felt a burst of sadness inexplicably, which turned into a chill, and rushed into his body from the soles of his feet.

"Wait a little longer..." Song Qianzhi didn't finish his sentence, he couldn't wait anymore, his hand was so painful that he couldn't feel it, and there was liquid flowing down from the gap between his fingers.

"Let it go." Zhou Xian held down Song Qianzhi's hand, the two looked at each other, and Zhou Xian turned his head: "Two more people to help, everyone tighten the chain!"

Just when everyone was so nervous that they couldn't breathe, they were waiting for an opportunity. When everyone was ready, let go of the iron cone, but the action must be fast, otherwise the arm would be disabled, and the giant might be thrown out by the iron chain. Force into the water.

Nothing could be heard except the sound of the swiftly flowing river.

Song Qianzhi's ears began to buzz.

A neigh cut through the night.

The horse's back bowed deeply and fell into the river.

The iron chain rattled and rattled, but half of the iron cone remained in the stone, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Xian: "Master Song..." His voice suddenly stopped.

Song Qianzhi, who was close at hand, was already in tears, he was breathing rapidly, turned his head away, and when he turned around again, he had regained his composure.

"How many horses are there?" Song Qianzhi asked hoarsely.

"Two horses." The men replied.

"I don't want to hang the horses anymore. I'm going to Qizhou anyway. The [-] horses that have already been hoisted will be ridden in turns. It's fine for two people to ride one horse. Slow down, and you can reach Qizhou tomorrow," he said. After Song Qianzhi went down to the slope to have a look.

Xu Ruiyun stood on the slope, looked away from Song Qianzhi's slumped back, and tightened the robe on Liu Pingwen's body.

Zhou Xian watched people reinforce the iron cone with the iron piece parts removed from the stirrup, and tried it with his hands, making sure that it should be fine within a hundred catties.Zhou Xian looked at Song Qianzhi who was bent over by the river looking for something, and said to Xu Ruiyun who was the closest, "The horse is too heavy." He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't say anything.

An hour later, under the cover of night, everyone landed on the opposite bank wet and cold.Song Qianzhi was the third from the bottom. He took Li Xuan with him. Li Xuan hugged Song Qianzhi's waist the whole time. Although he was afraid, Song Qianzhi kept coaxing him in a low voice and grabbed Li Xuan's hand.

Li Xuan looked at him ignorantly, with a feeling of familiarity and unfamiliarity with the person in front of him revealed in his eyes.

After landing, Li Xuan kept holding his robe and telling Song Qianzhi, "Wet, wet. Brother Hong, I'm cold." There was some hope hidden in his eyes.Everyone was drenched and drove for half an hour. After confirming that there was no tail, they stopped to rest.

They lit a fire, and Song Qianzhi helped Li Xuan take off his robe.

Everyone is shirtless and there is not much time. They have to seize the half hour to sleep and dry their clothes. It is impossible to dry all the clothes, just to keep them from being too wet and heavy to avoid getting sick.

Song Qian had been feeling unwell for a few days, and now his throat was so sore that he couldn't speak. Li Xuan leaned on him and suddenly yelled, "Hot! Hot!"

Liu Pingwen, who took care of Li Xuan on weekdays, realized something was wrong almost immediately. Xu Ruiyun boiled a large pot of ginger soup and distributed it to everyone, and took a small pot alone to cook a bowl of very thick soup for Song Qianzhi.

Song Qianzhi took a sip and his face turned blue.

The ginger juice is too strong, spicy and bitter, and the feeling of vomiting rushes out of the throat.Song Qianzhi stretched his neck, tried his best to swallow, held back his strength, finished a big bowl, and just wanted to talk.

Li Xuan suddenly jumped up, hugged Song Qianzhi's neck, and unintentionally pushed his knee against Song Qianzhi's stomach.

"Ugh..." Song Qianzhi vomited ginger juice all over the floor.

It was just dawn, and the others were already putting on their clothes. Song Qianzhi was a little weak, and felt dizzy when he got up. He tore off his outer robe from a tree branch, put it on for Li Xuan first, and then put on his own.

The first ray of light in the morning shot through the dense forest, all the birds in the mountains and forests sang together, and countless black shadows flitted across the sky.

Song Qianzhi's breathing was hot, and he looked at the blue sky with red eyes.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he turned his face away strangely, looking at the way he came from.

Zhou Xian noticed Song Qianzhi's strangeness, and came up to pat him on the shoulder: "What's the matter? Get dressed...clothes..."

Zhou Xian also heard it, and he looked in the direction of Song Qianzhi's gaze in disbelief.

The hooves were getting louder.

Among the tree trunks, three horses rushed over. The leading black horse had just been washed. Under the rising sun, its fur was smooth and its muscles were strong.

Song Qianzhi's lips could not stop trembling.

The dark horse came in front of him and slowed down.

The horse's eyes are big and docile, overflowing with watery light.

Song Qianyi hugged the horse's head in his arms, put his face against the horse's ear, and said in a trembling voice: "You are so good, you are so good." He couldn't help kissing the horse's ear, and the horse raised its head, He kissed the horse's neck again, then got on the horse, and ordered everyone, "Hurry up, we will arrive at Qizhou soon!"

☆, Qianlong in the Yuan (eight)

Princess Dongyang heard from the concierge that a man surnamed Song asked to see her, and she immediately wanted to see Song Qianzhi who had been with Lu Guan.But she thought again, if she didn't ask for an interview in Lu Guan's name, it meant that Lu Guan didn't come.

"How many people are here?" the princess asked.

The concierge replied: "There are more than 20 here on horseback."

"Let this person surnamed Song come in, and the rest of you, find an inn for them to stay."

The porter left, and a teenager opened his eyes wide and looked around the door.

Princess Dongming saw it and waved to him with a smile: "Come."

The little prince who ran over was drenched in sweat and dragged a sword in his hand.

"Mother Concubine." The little prince called hesitantly.

"What can't you say to Wei Niang?"

After being signaled by his mother, the little prince's expression relaxed, and Princess Dongming asked a servant to bring a plate of freshly made Poria cocos cake.

The young King Dongming loved to eat this kind of dim sum. It was steamed lightly, sweet but not greasy, and it tasted quite chewy.He stretched out his little hand to grab the Poria cocos cake, and suddenly his mother grabbed his wrist, his brows frowned in pain, and he said aggrievedly: "Mother."

Princess Dongming ordered her servants to bring a damp cloth, and gently wiped her son's hands. After wiping, she said to the ignorant young man, "I have a word for my mother, you have to remember it."

The little prince pursed his mouth slightly, his eyes were full of apology and sadness after making a mistake, and the next moment, he looked at his mother seriously.

"People in the royal family are different. You must not get dirty." Princess Dongming said seriously, "No matter what happens to your face or your hands, don't get dirty. If it's dirty, you must wipe it off before others find out. Clean up, wash up."

The little prince nodded with a half-understanding: "Yes, my child has written it down."

Princess Dongming let go of his hand, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, pushed the plate of snacks to her son, and looked at him encouragingly: "Eat."

The little prince ate half of the pastry and put down the pastry with a gloomy expression.

Princess Dongming asked suspiciously: "Isn't it delicious?" She picked up a piece herself, and the cook's skills did not retreat.

The little prince lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "A lot of people died of starvation in the city. I heard..." He quickly glanced at his mother, and his voice became softer and softer, "I heard from others that someone, someone killed the neighbor. eat……"

Princess Dongming frowned deeply: "Who told you?"

"..." The little prince bit his lip and shook his head, he didn't answer any questions from his mother.

Princess Dongming took a deep breath and felt quite a headache, so she had to coax her son to say: "It's all nonsense, General Bai is guarding Qizhou, he won't allow this kind of thing to happen, recently the military camps often set up porridge sheds in the city , if someone really eats people, can they not report it to the government? Can the government ignore it? Tell me, right?"

The little prince: "The people who reported to the officials are all gone."

"Who on earth told you..." Princess Dongming felt that it was not her son who had gone to hear a few gossips. The little prince was only active in the mansion. Since the war was tense, in order to protect her son, she never allowed the little prince Dongming to go out. .

"An oil seller."

The little prince was frightened by his mother's harsh words. Princess Dongming didn't want to scare her son when she got the answer. Instead, she made him think about things he shouldn't think about, and asked the servants to send the little prince to a lunch break. He only had less than an hour to rest. , to eat, take a nap, and study literature in the afternoon.

Princess Dongming met Song Qianzhi in the flower hall on the west side of the mansion. She was dressed in a solemn and solemn dress. On the heavy dark red gown, flying birds were singing, and the headdress was also more grand than the first time she saw Song Qianzhi.

"I don't know that the young master came to Qizhou. It's a troubled time. Please worry about it."

Song Qianzhi didn't know that Princess Dongming was a smart woman, and she was able to keep the name of the youngest son and the honor of the palace after the death of her husband, and it was all due to her credit that she won the vast Qizhou fiefdom.The daughter raised by a petty official is not only not as desperate as the Taifu's daughter, but can make a long-term plan. Princess Dongming's eyelids are not shallow, so there is no real benefit, and she will never be able to move this woman's heart.

The master of Dongming Palace is not the 11-year-old young prince, but his shrewd and capable mother.

"Princess is polite, presumably Qizhou has also received an arrest warrant from the imperial city?" Song Qianzhi looked at Princess Dongming indifferently, quietly observing her expression.

Princess Dongming smiled and said, "There must be some misunderstanding."

"There is no misunderstanding, as far as the current Holy Majesty is concerned, I am a traitor."

Princess Dongming turned pale with shock.

"Here is Rongzong's edict. I wonder if the princess wants to see it." Song Qianzhi untied the box on his back. He was wearing a dark green coarse cloth robe, and the long furoki was inconspicuous.

Princess Dongming looked at the heir of the Zhou family with a pale face and bloodshot eyes, and gently pressed his hand to untie the burden with her fingers, and moved it away with just a touch.

"Young Master has come from a long way. Let's not talk about business today. Let's take a rest. It's not too late to talk about it."

Song Qianzhi looked straight at Princess Dongming.

Princess Dongming first looked away, her eyelashes flickered, she touched the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and then raised her eyes: "If the young master is hungry, I will send someone to pass the meal."

"No need." Song Qianzhi stood up knowingly, twisted the box tightly with a burden cloth, carried it on his back again, drank the hot tea, the temperature made him sober, and the evil that he was about to blurt out Yan was stopped by this cup of tea.

"I heard that the concubine has done a lot of practical things for Qizhou, and this junior respects me." Song Qianzhi bowed to the concubine Dongming, showing no pretense of gratitude.

Princess Dongming helped him up, and said: "There's nothing to say about it. If one side is in trouble, all parties will support it. What's more, Qizhou is my son's fiefdom. It's a matter of course."

Before visiting Dongming Palace, Song Qianzhi planned to reveal the contents of the edict to the princess. He was still thinking too naively, thinking that if Princess Dongming called Lu Guan "Benevolence", she would definitely ask why Lu Guan didn't come. The princess is concerned about Lu Guan's whereabouts, so he can take advantage of the situation to tell Princess Dongming what happened in Beijing, and then tell Princess Dongming to stand unswervingly in Li Xuan's team.

After nightfall in the inn, the lights were turned on, and the surroundings were quiet. Qizhou City issued an order to turn off the lights ten days ago. After half an hour of darkness in the city, anyone who lights up the lights again will be arrested.

One is to prevent someone from using lights as a signal, and the other is to let the people go to bed early. The long night is the time when it is most easy to think wildly.

In the narrow small room, several people are masters, and the sound of each other's breathing can be heard clearly.

Xu Ruiyun: "Talk to General Bai, we will have the strongest backing, King Dongming, so what if you want it? He doesn't have soldiers in his hands."

Song Qianzhi whispered: "There are no soldiers, but there is money. Princess Dongming is a good businessman. Qizhou connects the central part with Song and Xunzhou. How many good things from these two prefectures are constantly being shipped in. Feel free to dump them." , has been in business for ten years, looking at the whole of Chu, Princess Dongming is not only the most wealthy woman, but her private treasury is as rich as an enemy."

"How do you know?" It was Lu Lin who asked.

"I checked." Zhou Xian said.

Lu Lin smiled and said: "As expected of someone from Qilin Guard, no matter how deep he hides, he will be smelled by you."

When the Forbidden Army and Qilin Wei were at odds, Zhou Xian ignored the sarcasm in Lu Lin's words.

Lu Lin also felt a little regretful after saying this, and said in a low voice, "I've made my point, Brother Zhou, don't blame me."

"We are in the same boat now. Zhou Xian understands the overall situation better than you." Song Qianzhi said, "Brother Xu has a good idea. It is really hasty to go to Princess Dongming today. We only have a will in our hands that is hard to tell whether it is authentic or not. A sword with a greatly reduced majesty, if I were Princess Dongming, I would not have boarded the boat rashly. I don’t know how big the boat is, whether it will capsize, whether it can withstand internal and external troubles, and I don’t know anything, only fools follow suit.”

Everyone: "..."

Song Qianzhi hurriedly said: "Our situation is different, we are all brothers who have died, let's do it together, not for these things..."

"Well, that's the reason." Xu Ruiyun said, "Let's clink a glass and let's go."

Everyone raised their teacups and touched them crisply.

"There is no war in the world."

Song Qianzhi watched the others leave, closed the door, wiped his face with cold water indiscriminately, and stained the couch, his muscles and bones were broken into pieces.

Tired from running around for days, I took some medicine tonight, and fell asleep almost immediately.

Dongming Palace not far away.

Gu Yuandao, the prefecture of Qizhou, was disturbing.

"I heard from my humble position that today there are visitors from other places who disturb the palace. For the safety of the princess and the young prince, I come to visit you." Jing Jing's sunken cheeks looked like a goat.

"It's my nephew from my hometown. The age is not good. Their brothers have come to fight the autumn wind. Mr. Gu has a heart, but recently, the palace has donated money to the army, set up porridge sheds in the city, and even sent people to the army to drive them away." Made tens of thousands of summer clothes. Mr. Gu..."

Gu Yuandao wiped his sweat with his sleeves, and said in a panic, "Since there is nothing to do, it's inconvenient for me to disturb you because of my lowly position."

Princess Dongming got up and said: "Originally, the manor has already packed everything up and planned to resettle it. Once your lord comes, the mansion has no choice but to light the lamps. This is considered a breach of your lord's prohibition. I don't know how your lord will deal with it?"

Gu Yuandao said loudly: "What is the ban? What is the violation? How honorable is the princess and the young prince! They are all relatives of the emperor, and the law is nothing more than human feelings. Orders can be enforced or withdrawn. From now on, Dongming Palace can light lights at night! What do you want to light up? What time is the hour!"

"Then thank you, Mr. Gu." Princess Dongming sent the state mansion out of the living room with her front foot, the smile on her mouth suddenly became cold, and she asked someone to bring her soothing decoction, and after eating, she went to lie down on the couch. The maids sat with her, and the maids squeezed her shoulders and beat her legs, until the princess yawned, and then waited for her to fall asleep.

Gu Yuandao went back to the state government office and made a big fuss, making the masters fly like dogs and dogs.

"Light up the lamps! Light them all up for me! Light up all the lamps in the yamen!" Gu Yuandao yelled at the servants to go to work.

The servants were at a loss, the light-off order was issued less than ten days ago, and it was about to be abolished.

"Abandon what?! Only the state government office, and the Dongming Palace are on time, and the others, order one by one!"

"In the barracks of General Bai..." Master Qian Gu started his words, and he was slapped on the head and face, making him dizzy and staring at him, and he grabbed the table to stand still.

Gu Yuandao was so angry that his beard blew up.

Master Qian Gu covered his face: "The little one is talkative, the little one is talkative! The little one is going to write a new notice!"

Gu Yuandao: "Writing a fart! Let people go to the streets to patrol, whoever will catch whoever!"

Only the people below will take it easy.

The two great gods inside and outside the city cannot be provoked by the Dongming Palace, nor by the defense line of the Zhenbei Army.

As a result, he got himself in. He was so angry that he could only arrest a few civilians to vent his anger.

So the people from the government office of the state government dispatched [-] people, and arrested more than a dozen old, weak, sick and disabled.As soon as they were put in prison, the old and the weak kowtowed to the servants of the yamen.

"Two days to live is two days, don't talk nonsense when you go out." The cell boss has been hungry and thin recently, and his fat face, which weighs more than two hundred catties, is so thin that it is sunken in.

Outside the dark cell door, there were old trees, withered vines and drowsy crows. The prison head swayed his fat body, and found a convenient place. When he was walking back, he heard someone calling him "Cao Tou".

"What are you doing?" The cell leader's surname is Cao, and his subordinates call him Cao Tou.

"They are all widowers, there are a few bachelors, there are several widows in the city, and there are a few who have adopted children..."

Cao Tou sneered, "What do you want?"

"There is a lot of gossip in front of the widow's house, and there is no man in the family. Look, Caotou, all we eat in the prison is bran, which can't kill people, and it's not expensive. We have a lot of it, let's go out evenly?"

"How much do you charge?"

"Ten copper plates and twenty catties."

Cao Tou slapped his subordinate on the head, and said angrily: "You bastard, you want to kill people, don't you?"

"Don't let them out, I will come out."

The prison chief was silent for a while, then whispered: "If you can't go on, calm down a bit, and a few more brothers will watch over it, and explain to them that if anyone tells others, everyone will not want to eat it."

"Yes, yes, thank you Caotou."

Something was stuffed into Cao Tou's hand, and when the person walked away, Cao Tou raised his hand and asked, it was shredded tobacco produced by the Liaoren, and his mouth immediately overflowed with saliva.Cao Tou spat, put away the shredded tobacco, and went back to the prison for the night.

Song Qianzhi slept until midnight, when he was awakened by the sound of people outside like a tide. Someone pushed the door and entered. Song Qianzhi touched the long sword under the pillow and heard Zhou Xian's voice.

"Sun Yi is attacking the city, get up quickly." Zhou Xian touched Song Qianzhi's robe from the wooden stand, and stepped forward to put it on for him.

After Song Qianzhi put on his shoes, he was awake.

"what happened?"

"The sudden attack from the south caused rumors to spread throughout the city. Many people attacked the northern city gate with hoes and kitchen knives, trying to break through the protective circle of the Northern Suppressing Army and flee northward."

Lu Lin gathered his own people and asked Song Qianzhi what to do.

In the inn, some businessmen who are not afraid of death put on their robes and saddlebags, and hurriedly pulled horses and carts out of the inn's stables.

Just when Song Qianzhi was about to speak, dozens of people holding torches poured into the entire inn.

"This is..." Zhou Xian paused.

Lu Lin said in a deep voice, "It's not a worker at the inn."

"It's the people in Qizhou City." Song Qianzhi said softly, with a chill in his heart, "They want these merchants to take them out of the city, and the imperial order received by Qizhou is not to let the residents leave. The rare southern Spices and rare treasures have never stopped being supplied to dignitaries, but the asking price is getting higher and higher. If there is money to be made, someone will do it. These people can’t keep them. If the city gates are not opened to let the refugees go north, they will turn And vent their anger to the Zhenbei Army."

"How is it possible? The Zhenbei Army is a loyal and righteous army. They don't know that without the protection of the Zhenbei Army, Qizhou would have been burned by the flames of war long ago?" Lu Lin said angrily.

Song Qianzhi said dumbly: "We didn't take root here, and we don't know what happened in Qizhou in the past few months. If it wasn't for the unbearable life, these low-level civilians would never be in chaos." His scalp tightened like a fit.

Noisy words came from downstairs: "The army is eating people! They kill people! They eat human flesh! They are not human at all! You must take us away, otherwise no one will even want to leave the city!"

As soon as the sharp female voice yelled, it was overwhelmed by people running wildly outside the inn. Several people looked at the inn door worriedly. The small wooden door had not yet been broken through.

All the people running on the street were the Zhenbei Army, and Sun Yi's army was still unable to attack the South City Gate.

It was the villains in these populations who walked through the long streets and never knocked on a private house.

The beating of the gong continued to come from outside, and people shouted: "The whole city is on alert, close the doors and windows, and you are not allowed to go out. The general ordered that all civilians in the city are not allowed to go to the streets, close the doors and windows, and you are not allowed to go out—"

It's past the third watch, and it's late at night in Qizhou, but no one can sleep peacefully.

The war is imminent, people are like ants, and the night seems to have no end.

Until a cluster of flames ignited on the river southwest of the city.

A long sword pointed directly at the sky, and the flag of the Zhenbei Army fluttered in the wind, showing the direction of the wind at the moment, which was suitable for attacking Sun Yi's army in the south.

The fire blazed, turned into a sharp weapon, and rushed towards the opposite bank with its teeth and claws.

☆、Dragon in the Abyss (Jine)

After some quarrels, the innkeeper, the mistress, the innkeeper's wife and children, all dressed as merchants, dispersed among several caravans, left the inn, and ran out.

When the Zhenbei army went out to fight, only about [-] people were left on the streets of Qizhou City to patrol, reminding the people not to go out, as long as the outside of the city wins, the civilians in the city will not be in danger.

"These people... are so unconvinced?" said a Habayashi guard.

Lu Lin looked at Song Qianzhi: "What should we do? Run out in the chaos? Where do we go after we go out? Go directly to the Zhenbei Army camp?"

"There are 12 of your brothers, plus you, me, Zhou Xian, and Xu Ruiyun. Sixteen people, Zhou Xian stayed behind to protect Liu Pingwen and Li Xuan, and the rest came with us to the Qizhou Yamen."

Zhou Xian understood: "Seize Qizhou City first?"

"Concubine Dongming is still waiting to see, unless we win the Zhenbei Army. Now that the city is in chaos, it is a good time to attack the state government. Qizhou's garrison has already been collected by Bai Guyou. The streets are so chaotic, and the state government There are not many people left. Since the imperial court says that I am a traitor, then I will go against it to the end and simply raise the banner of righteousness. Really eliminate traitors and sycophants, and punish tyrants!"

Lu Lin said, "Have you made up your mind?" The corners of his lips curled up, and Lu Lin's eyes were well-shaped, black and bright, reflecting the dim lights flickering under the verandah of the inn, and faintly revealing excitement.

Song Qianzhi quietly looked at the roof ridge not far away, his eyes fluttered over the roof ridge, the sky was thousands of miles long, and the bright moon was like silver.

"It's been decided a long time ago, it's just that there is no opportunity tonight."

·

In the capital, in the prime minister's mansion.

An unexpected person sat across from Li Yeyuan. A pregnant woman served tea, and she was shocked when she saw the old master.Zi Jin gently held the tea cup calmly, put it on the table, and placed the tea cup firmly in front of Fu Mingmao.

Fu Mingmao became thinner and darker.He didn't look up at the woman, nor did he reach out to touch the teacup. He lifted the black hood and let out a sigh of relief.

Li Yeyuan was also sitting quietly. Usually he would hold onto his concubine who he was doting on, and listen to his baby's movement through the woman's soft belly. Today, he just took the teacup and said in a deep voice: "Go down." Rest."

Zijin closed the door and went out, smelling the scent of waxed paper money in the night breeze, she went down the steps, trying to catch this smell, wandered around the yard, but found nothing.No one is burning paper money, maybe the smell is coming from elsewhere.

The servant girl came to help Zijin, and she followed back to the room nonchalantly. If she took a closer look, her eyes no longer had the radiant look that she had when she was in Heilangzhai.

"Is it okay to serve the prime minister?" Fu Mingmao didn't say who it was.

Li Yeyuan said: "The people cultivated by the First Prince will certainly not make mistakes."

Fu Mingmao looked up at the window, it was windy tonight, after Zijin went out, the room, with the doors and windows closed, and an oil lamp lit on the table, was so shabby that it didn't look like the prime minister's courtyard.

"What did the Queen Mother say?"

Li Yeyuan was silent for a while, as if he suddenly came to his senses, he tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair and shook his head.

"No."

Fu Mingmao was not surprised either, and said: "After all, she is the empress who lived and died with Rongzong. I would be surprised if she agreed."

"After the Lihou Ceremony is so noisy, it will be difficult to do it again." Li Yeyuan sighed.Fu Mingmao didn't discuss this matter with him, so he couldn't stop. Since the dead man entered the palace, he didn't directly assassinate the emperor, but attacked Liu Yun.

Fu Mingmao squinted his eyes, his face was already round, his eyes were squinted, especially narrow and long, and there was a cunning in the corner of his eyes.

"When Liu Yun stands firm, I won't be able to sit on that chair either. My poor sixth younger brother, dare to treat the Queen Mother like that. Isn't it because I want Liu Yun to go to Beijing, hoping to marry Liu Yun's daughter, to send a signal, Let the military officers of the Liu family faction who have been demoted all these years stand up. Sometimes I feel strange, is this my real brother?"

Li Yeyuan didn't say a word, just rubbing his thumb and index finger.

Fu Mingmao looked down on Fu Mingshao.First of all, they look down on their status. The background and status of the two mothers and concubines are too far apart. Fu Mingmao's mother is Princess Heidi, and Fu Mingshao's mother and concubine is just the daughter of an ordinary official.Moreover, Fu Mingshao's mother, who came from a low family background and refused to bow to her rank, made a lot of enemies in the palace, whoever had the qualifications or not had the right to intervene, making Rongzong unable to step down from power.

A man's favor comes quickly and goes easily.

Less than two years after eating this mountain wild flavor, Rongzong felt that the food in the mountains can only be eaten once, twice, once, twice, every meal, and he felt a stench. bitterness.Fu Mingshao's mother is also in poor health, and her temperament is particularly strong. For a woman who can flourish in the harem, there is only one skill that matters, and that is forbearance.

Fu Mingshao's mother couldn't help it.

Fu Mingshao was young at that time, and it was the age when his mother was more precious than his mother. His mother was of low status and was not liked by Rongzong, and his relatives had nothing to rely on. Naturally, he had never been looked down upon by other princes.

Even if Rongzong's sons were all dead, no one would think of such an unremarkable sixth prince.During the Mid-Autumn Festival of that year, Fu Mingshao's mother and concubine drank a few glasses of wine and uttered nonsense, talking about how much the emperor loved her back then, and even the incident between men and women.
