"Eh? Isn't this Xiao Qi who works for the Wei family? What, are you going to go out of town on errands again today?"
It dawns very early in summer, so although the opening hours of the county town are no different from those in the past, compared with the deserted situation in winter, we can now see many people waiting for various purposes.
Travelers and farmers leaving the city.
The person responsible for managing one of the only two city gates in this city is a soldier in his early thirties who looks quite old, but judging from his usual conversation, he must be immature. Although he seems to be quite warm and honest,
But if you really think of him as an ordinary person with no city government, it would be a big mistake. After all, he can get a position like City Gate Officer, which may not be high in status but is quite profitable thanks to the city gate tax.
It also requires considerable energy or effort.
"Yeah, it's Brother Han who is on duty. You've worked really hard. Come on, come on. I happen to have some wild vegetable pancakes made by my sister here, and they're still a little warm. Brother, come and have a taste. The current situation is so chaotic.
It is precisely because of people like Big Brother that we people in Fenyin County can still live such a peaceful life."
If the person named by the city gate officer was based solely on his appearance, he would definitely be an ordinary guy who couldn't be more ordinary - his ordinary appearance can be used as an average height, and his weight and stature can also be used as an average. It can be said that he is completely ordinary.
He is an ordinary person who is so ordinary that if he is thrown into a crowd, he will completely lose his trace.
Maybe he himself has discovered the problem, so he seems to be obsessed with using cloaks to show his poor presence recently. Is it just an effect... By the way, would you be interested in an ant with slightly longer tentacles? Except
Biologists will use it directly to make slices, but even ordinary people would consider it a waste of time to step on it deliberately.
Of course, weird species like naughty children are not included in this list. Their spirits are always a little too excited to vent.
However, if you think that this guy's life will be mediocre and mediocre, then you are totally wrong. Small people also have big ambitions, and our Xiaoqi's ambition is to be a certain goddess in his mind.
——A daughter from the Wei family, the largest aristocratic family in Fenyin. Although she is the daughter of a commoner, it is not something that a poor boy can easily get involved with.
Well, although the chance of the scene between the silly boy and the rich lady appearing in the three-dimensional world is too low, but if it is a silly boy who can pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, he is also very good at shooting and his unique skill is to shoot a red heart.
, maybe he can also pull off such a scene, at least this is the case for the guy in front of him who looks ordinary even if he is wearing a cloak.
Is this guy really a stupid boy?! In fact, he is an eagle-eyed wolf in nine skins!
The poor Miss Wei fell into the hands of a man in a cloak who looked ordinary but actually had the ambition of the Crystal Palace in his heart.
Ahem, all of the above are absolutely facts. They are definitely not envy, jealousy or hatred caused by envy of a gentle, beautiful and skillful pan cook. They have absolutely nothing to do with it! This is absolutely true!
Although he knew that the person in front of him looked ordinary but might actually be some kind of savior who liked to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, he still felt very grateful for the compliments he said to the city gate official named Han. The most important thing was his sister's.
The craftsmanship is really very good. If his brother doesn't take it too seriously, it would actually be a good thing to marry him as his concubine.
It's just that... the city gate officer suddenly felt that there seemed to be a lot of people wanting to leave the city today, and they all seemed to be soldiers and servants of the Wei family. However, considering that this was not the first time such a situation had happened, the Wei family was in the city.
There is also a large manor outside, so although there are some doubts in his heart, the city gate official is not willing to cause trouble for him.
"Dang, dang, dang, dang..." As the bell rang, indicating the opening of the city gate, it not only announced that the small town was about to be full of life, but also marked the arrival of a new day.
"Squeaks ..." As this has heard the low sounds from the twisted twisted, the gatekeeper of the surname of Han still directs the rejection horses used by the guidance person as in the past.
He went outside the city gate as usual, but suddenly his eyes widened. If you look carefully, you will find that the pupils in his eyes are unnaturally dilated.
People, a huge crowd, a huge crowd gathered outside the city gate.
Fenyin is located on the east bank of the Yellow River, across the river from Xiayang County of Zuo Fengyi, so it is a very important ferry on the Yellow River, and there are not a few merchants and travelers coming and going on weekdays.
However, no matter how dense the flow of people is, it is calculated on a whole-day basis. If the flow of people is dispersed to each hour, it will only be a hundred people at most. During peak periods, there will only be a few hundred people, and there are many businessmen.
Because they traveled between the two places many times, the city gate officials were able to recognize their faces, call them by their names, and remember their accents.
The most important thing is that the peak period is usually near noon or evening, because at that time they need to enter the city to replenish some supplies or find a place to stay. There are no people on both sides of the road from Fenyin to Anyi.
There are bandits and the like, but because of the presence of the White Wave Army in the north, no one can be sure that those elusive guys won't make some sudden attacks that come and go like the wind. To be on the safe side, they will stay in the city for one night before setting off.
journey.
But what about now? It was so dark that there were hundreds, if not thousands, of people in front of them. It was probably not an exaggeration. Moreover, the city gate official said that the faces of these people had no impression at all in his memory. One, two, or even ten or eight were like this.
It can also be said that there are always some unfamiliar faces among passers-by every day, but there are not a few familiar faces among hundreds of people. This situation is a bit strange. The most important thing is that these people come from outside.
Not going out from the city.
Therefore, to sum up, the city gate officer immediately flashed a sentence in his mind: After eliminating all possibilities, there is only one truth... "Enemy...ah!!!" A shrill cry immediately pierced Fenyin County.
It was a fairly peaceful sky.
It's just a pity that in the face of a conspiracy that has been prepared for a long time, no matter how quick the reaction is, it cannot be resisted.
Almost at the same time as the cry for help rang out, the head of a sharp spear had already penetrated into the body of the city gate official, and then a short sword passed through his neck artery, bringing up a large amount of blood, causing the cry
The sound suddenly stopped.
"I'm sorry, Brother Han. Xiao Qi is here to apologize to you. It's a pity who asked you to be the enemy of the Wei family."
Before he died, the city gate officer heard a familiar voice in his ears. The familiar voice had no characteristics at all and had a little bit of a silly voice, and then he felt a colic in his heart.
It was as if something was stirring there, magnifying the original pain several times.
Then, there was no more. The city gate officer's eyes were dark, and his ears were silent. Even the original painful wound seemed to have lost its original pain in an instant, and his body became very light, as if a gust of wind was blowing away.
It can be blown away.
He is already dead.
More people will follow him into this silent darkness.
Caught off guard and cooperating inside and outside, it can be said that the county soldiers in Fenyin City had no chance to resist. Even under the leadership of some thoughtful people among the county soldiers, most of the county soldiers dropped their weapons and started to behave obediently.
took prisoners.
By the time the magistrate of Fenyin County heard the news of the rebellion, he had been blocked in the county government office and could not escape. He died in the civil war not long afterward in the place affectionately known as "Xiaoqi" by everyone.
In the hands of men. Although the county magistrate acted very bravely, it was a very honorable thing for a dozen people to resist the siege of hundreds of people and not turn into a hornet's nest.
In fact, the Fenyin battle ended extremely quickly, not only because the powerful men were extremely well prepared, but more importantly because they all had a lot of popularity and prestige in the local area. When the situation was favorable to them, it was very easy to win.
There were very few locals willing to resist their will. Not to mention that the only local garrison that did not belong to them was actually very well infiltrated by them.
Fenyin County, Jie County, Puban County, Yishi County, Wenxi County, Jiangyi County... news of the fall of each county continued to reach the prefecture in Anyi, almost overnight.
One county town fell to the rebels
The most terrifying thing is that these rebellious counties are all surrounded by the richest areas in Hedong around Anyi County. At the same time, with the rebellion of these counties, the connection between Anyi and the troops on the Baibo Valley front line has also been cut off.
.
It can be said that the situation in Hedong fell into chaos and even corruption overnight.
"No wonder those powerful people didn't show pretense to us no matter it was then or now. They really have great methods."
"Where are the powerful disciples who serve in the Anyi Prefecture now?"
"It seems that they had secretly evacuated yesterday. There are only a few kittens in those mansions now. It can be said that they are all abandoned children that are completely useless to those powerful people. Even if they are all killed, there will be nothing but venting their anger.
meaning."
"Is everyone gone?"
"Everyone who should go has gone, and everyone who should stay has stayed. It was truly a battle without any surprises."
Facing Zhang Xiu's inquiry, Yan Zhong waved his hand very casually, as if he wanted to make the cup of hot tea in front of him more suitable for the mouth.
However, he may not care, but to the ears of a certain young man next to him, it can be called a huge wave.
"Then, let's get started. Don't cause any trouble to the lord."
Suddenly, Zhang Xiu's voice sounded in the young man's ears, a voice that sounded like he was summarizing his speech.
ps: In order to celebrate Daoyue and Lin Xi's children's shoes becoming the steward of this book, an additional chapter is added, which means there will be another update in the evening.
ps2: Although I say that, considering that many people who collect this book seem to like to keep it for a while before reading it, I am not sure whether Xiaoxi Children's Shoes will be seen in the first place. If you see it, be sure to reply.

ps3: Do you want to take the opportunity to ask for votes? It seems that our moral integrity is not too bad, we can put the bowls (Hey, hey, you have lost your moral integrity by doing this). Well, then just ask for support.
psp: PS has finally jumped from the home platform to handheld devices. We are not so excited just because we relived the Moon Carnival this morning. We don’t think that Winky and Arthur should be good friends or good friends.
But friends should definitely not be heterosexual (Wu Wu).
psv: The day after tomorrow is the end. I wonder if there will be any wonderful fireworks. In this way, we can make a cup of hot tea and enjoy it, although we will continue to write words the day after tomorrow.
