Chapter 121

Chapter 121 Things in front of you

People and horses rushed towards the city wall like a tide.

I can’t remember exactly how many tides this was. The bloodstains on the city wall were like countless waves crashing, and the wave of people also reached the bottom of the city wall from the first ten feet away, and now it has reached the city wall. The piled corpses have become a climbing

of stairs.

The barbarian soldiers who rushed up the city wall were like giants. Even without weapons in their hands, they could knock down two or three Zhou soldiers by waving their arms.

But soon four or five Zhou soldiers would pounce on him.

Three can't deal with one barbarian, so four or five.

The Yihuang soldiers roared and fell to the ground.

Time and time again, when the setting sun disappeared from the sky, the few remaining barbarian soldiers roared. This time they no longer rushed forward, but turned around and ran towards the dusk sky.

They emit shrill roars and strange tunes that seem to mourn their dead companions and warn others.

"Don't come here, don't come here."

"There are ferocious devils here, and there are endless abyss here."

"Dead soul, come home with me quickly."

"Don't look back, don't look back."

A veteran on the city wall who was familiar with the barbarians yelled out the words of the barbarians in a hoarse voice, and then let out a loud laugh: "Run, you turtles! Get away, don't come back again -"

He also wanted to sing something, but a violent cough made him stoop, and blood oozed from the mottled wounds on his body again.

He hunched over and turned around.

"Brothers, we guarded-"

He turned around and his voice gradually became silent. On the city wall where the fighting had stopped, the fire was burning and corpses were piled up. However, there were only a dozen brothers still alive.

Some people were standing with their weapons in hand, while others were sitting on the corpses.

"Six Generals -" the veteran shouted, looking at the general sitting on the corpse.

Liang Liuzi slumped his shoulders and his head, holding a broken long knife in both hands, sitting on the corpse of the barbarian soldier, motionless.

As the veteran shouted, other surviving soldiers rushed to Liang Liuzi's side, the burning fire shining on their sad faces.

"Not dead yet." Liang Liuzi said, took a deep breath and slowly raised his head.

The soldiers and guards who came around suddenly laughed, with tears glistening in their eyes.

"Xiao Liuzi, you scared me to death." The veteran scolded him even more rudely.

"There's nothing scary about being dead." Liang Liuzi said, "Old Sun, you have lived a long time and have never seen a dead person."

I have seen them before, especially in the past few years. Lao Sun looked at the corpses around him. Lying here were all the same colleagues who had been chatting and laughing with him a moment ago.

No matter how many dead people you see, your heart will still be pierced every time you see them.

Liang Liuzi stood up slowly while holding on to half of the knife. He looked at the fleeing barbarians in front of him, and then looked behind him. There seemed to be stars falling on the ground in the night far behind him. That was the city in the north.

villages and towns.

Farther away there is an even brighter night that cannot be seen.

He smiled widely.

"Good news," he said, "Beizhaikou is safe and sound."

The soldiers and guards shouted "Good news!" "Good news!"

After a few spring rains, the sun began to shine, and the narrow living room of the Beijing Yamen became a little stuffy.

"It's really hard," an official complained. "It's cold in winter, sweltering in summer, and hot in autumn. Now there aren't even a few comfortable days in spring."

Another official placed a stack of just-delivered letters and newspapers on the desk and sighed.

"Being an official is a life-and-death thing." He said, "Stop complaining and work, otherwise you will be scolded again."

The complaining official looked at the letters and newspapers that were once again piled up on his desk, with a sad look on his face: "Why are there so many? I really don't want to live anymore."

Even though he said this, several officials still started to sort and organize the letters and newspapers.

"They're all the same stuff." One official said, not even interested in reading the beginning, and fanning himself with letters and newspapers.

Another official suddenly cheered: "There is good news from the Beihai Navy."

Other officials asked curiously: "What good news?"

I haven't heard of where we are fighting, and the world is at peace.

The official had already opened it and looked at it, and laughed: "Bei Haijun said that the barbarians came to invade, and they repelled them."

Isn't that what it should be? The officials around him suddenly lost interest.

"Is this worthy of reporting a victory?" An official said with a clear look, pointing to the document, "Look, do you want money?"

The official put his hands on his hands and laughed: "You're right, indeed." He looked at the document and read, "The city's defense is urgent. Please allocate funds for repairing the Great Wall as soon as possible."

The officials in the hall smiled and shook their heads, "We have seen this kind of trick too many times."

However, it seems that some people don't know. Someone asked curiously, "What's the trick?"

"What's the trick? Are you new here? You don't even know this -" an official said impatiently, and Xun Sheng turned around to see that fool.

The black clothes and gold threads shine before your eyes.

The official suddenly gasped and burped, and he stomped back, bumping into other officials. The other officials oops and turned around, and when they saw the person coming, they also stepped back.

The hall instantly froze.

Zhu Chuan looked at the officials huddled together, blinked, and asked, "What is it? I'm new here, so I don't know."

An official finally came to his senses and saluted with a smile: "Master Zhu, are you here? What are your orders?" He then pointed inward and said, "I will take you to see the Minister."

If there is any trouble, please let Mr. Shilang take care of it.

But Zhu Chuan raised his hand and pressed his shoulder.

"I didn't give any orders, so I just passed by and had a look." He said, "What's the trick? Tell me quickly, don't be embarrassed, do you want me to take you back to Duchasi?"

That would be fatal, so the official said without hesitation: "It's just to praise your merits and ask for rewards. Those soldiers like to play this little trick."

If you want to die, die on the spot.

After speaking in one breath, he handed over the letter and tensed his body.

Zhu Chuan took it, looked at it, laughed, and patted him on the shoulder with the letter: "Not bad, this is really a little clever."

After saying that, he threw down the letter and turned around and left.

Everyone in the hall waited until they could no longer see this person, nor did they see the dark Ducha Siwei rushing in to arrest him. They waited until other officials in the courtyard were walking around, curiously asking why they were standing still.

He didn't move or speak until he finally recovered in one breath.

It's okay, it's okay.

"It must be fine." An official came to his senses at this time, "Have you forgotten? Liang Na was from the Northern Navy. This is the trace that he wants to erase the most."

Naturally, they will not trouble them for making fun of the Bei Navy.

Maybe he will also take the opportunity to cause trouble for the North Korean Navy.

The officials in the hall were relieved.

"Quickly, work." "Send these divided pieces to each department."

The Ministry of War Yamen resumed its daily business, and Zhu Chuan also returned to the Ducha Division and told Huo Lian the news of the Beihai Navy's victory.

"It seems that the Great Border Wall should be repaired. The wars have become more and more frequent in the past two years." Zhu Chuan said in a low voice.

Huo Lian hummed and said nothing. She just looked at the desk in front of her. On the desk was a volume of records. This was sent from a stake placed in an official's home. It recorded the private words the official said in bed at night.

He needs to find useful information from it, then keep it in his mind, and take it out when the emperor needs it at some point.

Zhu Chuan hesitated for a moment and said again: "How about you, Commander, say something?"

He may not know the clever tricks of being a soldier, but as a former border guard, he is very aware of the tricks of the officials above. If a matter is in their hands, they can do it immediately, but it will take a year.

, seems to be done immediately without delay, which does not reflect their importance.

Hearing these words, Huo Lian raised her head and looked at Zhu Chuan with deep eyes.

"I'm talking?" he said, "Have you forgotten who I am?"

He reached out and gently brushed his robe.

"We are evil soldiers in the eyes of the world. When I speak, I will kill people."

Zhu Chuan hurriedly forced out a smile: "I was joking." Without waiting for Huo Lian to speak again, he quickly changed the subject and said, "Captain, Liu Yan is out of the capital."

Huo Lian said oh.

A person of his status cannot leave the capital easily, and the same goes for Liu Yan.

Leaving Beijing now

"It seems that the thing he is responsible for keeping an eye on has begun."
