In the officialdom, as a low-level general, Wang Tong's experience in the first half of his life can be described in one word.
There are many ups and downs.
Wang Tong's background is not bad, he is a serious general's son. When he was young, he was outstanding in skills, and there were also times when he was wearing bright clothes and angry horses.
The good times did not last long. His father and brother died on the battlefield, and the family declined rapidly. Enemies who had a grudge against the Wang family secretly blocked his future and bribed his boss with a lot of money. At the age of twenty, he was sent to Qingzhou.
Beihai County guards the city gate.
Opening and closing the city gates all day long, there is no shortage of money, but as a general, he has no battles to fight, and his official career is bleak.
He stayed in Beihai County for twenty years, and all his ambitions were almost exhausted. He felt like a tiger was trapped in his heart, and he was always restless and uneasy.
In recent years, Emperor Yongxing's rule was harsh and brutal, the court was unstable, and bandits were everywhere in the Jin Dynasty. The Zhou and Sui groups in Pingyuan County were the largest bandits in Qingzhou.
He had imagined countless times that he would be the commander-in-chief, lead thousands of soldiers to suppress bandits, and come back victorious with his sword stained with blood.
Unfortunately, this is simply impossible.
Even if the imperial court issued an order to suppress the bandits, it would send a large army or issue an order to the nearest Jiaodong Army general Li Ji. Even if it wanted to mobilize the Beihai County garrison, it would still involve its immediate boss Zheng De.
In short, it was not his turn as a sixth-grade Beihai County garrison general.
Ambition is hard to achieve, and the blood becomes cold.
Twenty years of depression accumulated in my heart, and eventually turned into resentment and indignation.
Does he want to be a city gate official all his life? He stares at the merchants and vendors who go in and out of the city gate every day, collecting the pitiful money that goes into the city?
Heroes emerge from troubled times!
That Zhou Sui Dynasty was able to recruit thousands of troops in seven or eight years, and ambitiously planned to conquer all the counties in Qingzhou, hoping to occupy one area and become a hero in troubled times!
Why can't he, Wang Tong?
"Sir, I'm really scared." Yang trembled and her voice trembled: "Colluding with thieves is a serious crime against the Nine Clan. In the past few years, I have been unsuccessful in officialdom, but after all I am safe and sound. Once I embark on this road
, but it will be difficult to look back.”
Wang Tong's eyes were a little red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "What peace! Since Zhou Sui has set his sights on Beihai County, he might come to attack the city at some time. The two thousand defenders of Beihai County have never seen each other before.
Blood can't stop Zhou Sui at all. By then, I, the city gate official, can't resist the rebel army, and I won't be able to escape death."
"Instead of doing this, it's better to give it a try. Maybe we can achieve another world."
"I've made up my mind! You don't have to say anything. Go clean up the yard and prepare to welcome the distinguished guests."
Yang could only respond in a low voice.
After Yang left, Wang Tong took a deep breath, and there seemed to be a pile of flames burning fiercely in his chest.
Princes, generals and prime ministers, would you rather have the seed?
…
Crescent Moon, save me.
A clan aunt who had watched her grow up was humiliated by the rebels. She was left with only one breath, whimpering and mourning. Immediately, a bloody head rolled to her feet. It was a five or six-year-old child. In terms of seniority, she wanted to shout.
She calls her aunt.
Live well and avenge the Zhao family and Beihai County. The dying cousin Zhao Suxin whispered in her ear.
In the end, the scene was frozen in the scene where Xu Jing was hit by several arrows and fell down. He still opened his eyes and looked at her until he died, reaching out to take her out of hell.
Zhao Xiyan woke up from a nightmare, but there were no tears on her face.
She has long been accustomed to endless nightmares.
No matter how sad and desperate she was in the dream, nothing could be revealed when she woke up. In order to survive and take revenge, she had already changed her appearance.
He is as cold as iron and will use any means necessary.
My beautiful little childhood sweetheart Yue Yaer will never come back.
Xu Jing, in this life, I hope you will marry a daughter-in-law who cares about you, have several lovely children, and live a happy life.
"Miss, are you going out today?" Yuhan couldn't help but be startled when she saw her master ordering the carriage to be prepared.
The lady likes to be quiet but not active. She cannot go out twice a month, but she has been going out frequently recently.
Zhao Xiyan's eyes flashed and she said calmly: "Yesterday at the Beihai Palace, Miss Wang was injured. It was ultimately because of me. I have to visit today and express my feelings."
Wang Tong is a man of great skill and has many soldiers.
It is not easy to get rid of Wang Tong. We just take advantage of this opportunity to advance into the Wang family's inner house. Perhaps, we can start with Wang Wei and her daughter.
Hosta nodded, went to prepare a generous gift, and followed her master in the carriage to Wang's house with Haitang.
The Wang family was separated by several towns, and the distance was not very close. It took the carriage more than half an hour to arrive.
The Wang family had an alley to themselves, and the alley paved with bluestones was swept clean. The Zhao family's coachman went to deliver the greeting card, and after a while he came back with a look of embarrassment: "Miss, the concierge said that Miss Wang is unwell today and is not suitable.
Meet someone. Please come back another day, Miss."
I was immediately rejected.
Zhao Xiyan's eyebrows did not move: "Go again, send ten taels of silver to the concierge, and ask the concierge to inform Mrs. Wang."
Wang Wei can control her temper and hide herself from others.
Yang has to save face.
Sure enough, this time, Yang personally greeted us at the main entrance: "I didn't expect Miss Zhao Liu to come in person today."
Zhao Xiyan smiled apologetically and said, "Ms. Wang was injured yesterday because of me, and I feel really uneasy. I came here specifically to visit today. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, please forgive me."
Ms. Yang hurriedly smiled and said: "Miss Zhao Liu still remembers some small things. Please come in quickly and follow me to Wei'er's yard."
I was secretly amazed.
Zhao Xiyan is famous in Qingzhou, and when I saw her today, her appearance was indeed stunning. The elegance in her gestures and gestures seemed to be innate. There was a bookish air between her eyebrows and eyes that could only be immersed in calligraphy and ink all year round, which was better than all the gorgeous clothes and hairpins in the world.
No wonder my daughter couldn't hide her jealousy whenever she mentioned Zhao Xiyan.
A young girl from any other family would have to grit her teeth and hate her.
Yang led Zhao Xiyan into Wang Wei's boudoir.
It had only been one day, and Wang Wei's hip injury was obviously not healed yet, so she could only continue to lie on the bed. In such a miserable state, Wang Wei wished that no one could see her.
As soon as Zhao Xiyan came in, Wang Wei's face turned dark: "What are you doing here? Haven't you made me miserable enough? Do you want to see it with your own eyes before you are willing to do it?"
Zhao Xiyan looked innocent: "Miss Wang misunderstood me. Yesterday I was trying to protect myself, and I never thought I would harm you. Today I specially came to apologize."
What visit?
Come here to see her jokes!
Wang Wei also wanted to speak rudely, but her own mother glared at her and came over. Wang Wei had to change her words angrily: "I'm sorry to thank you for your concern. My little injury will be fine after just lying down for a few days."
Only then did Yang feel satisfied.
Zhao Xiyan had a smile on her lips and asked for help.
In comparison, Wang Wei, who has a stinky face, looks rude and ridiculous.
In a "harmonious" atmosphere, a maid quietly walked in and whispered in Yang's ear.
Zhao Xiyan's smile did not change, her eyes flashed slightly.
