"...Girl, may I ask, how to get to Zhang Village?"
Under the sunshine of early autumn, the wind blew through the rice sea on the field. A knight dressed as a scholar stopped a dark-skinned village girl who was carrying water on the ridge of the field and asked. The village girl looked at him twice.
"Go towards the main road and you'll be there in half a day... Why are so many people going to Zhangcun recently? What are you doing in Zhangcun?"
"A lot of people have been to Zhangcun recently?"
"Quite a few, someone asked me yesterday."
"Oh, I don't know what they are going to do." The scholar thought thoughtfully, then smiled, "I am a scholar from Huzhou. I heard that the Chinese army has conquered the world, so I came to Zhangcun to seek fame."
"Huzhou persimmon? You are a human being, how can you be a persimmon?"
"Oh... scholar, scholar, means scholar. Thank you girl for showing me the way. Is that the way?"
"Well, take the main road, go south, go straight. Scholar, you told me earlier." The dark-skinned girl looked at him more.
"Thank you, thank you. Thank you, girl, for showing me the way."
At the end of the conversation, the scholar saluted and watched the black girl carrying water and walking towards the village not far away, then headed to the other side. His five brothers were waiting by the small river beach not far away. The scholar
In the past, I confirmed with a few people that I was not going in the wrong direction.
"There have been so many people going to Zhangcun recently, maybe it will attract attention?" someone was worried.
"If they are all martial arts practitioners, I'm afraid they won't be allowed to go. However, it is true that the Chinese army defeated the Jurchens. I think there are many people who have come to seek refuge recently. Let's wait and see if we get mixed up among these people... The more people there are, the more likely the Chinese army will be.
The more troops the army needs to prepare, the more we can pick up a sentry and set off a fire, we can make him run for his life..."
"That's right."
"Now that we are close to Zhang Village, we can't take the main road. According to my opinion, we can just go along this avenue from a distance. If my estimate is correct, there must be more checkpoints on the avenue."
"Then it's settled."
A few people made plans, and some laughed again.
"Speaking of which, that girl just now is pretty."
"... He is a bit darker, but he is strong and strong. You can tell he is fertile."
"Brothers, I don't know, but up close, I actually look pretty pretty. We just said that I am a scholar, but she looked at me seriously for several times. That look... you know, in fact, in these villages, what I think about all day long is,
Even if you can match a scholar, this is how it is sung in dramas..."
"Don't tell me, the fifth brother pretends to be a scholar. It's really amazing. As for the girl just now, we are going to come to propose marriage. It will be done!"
…
The wanton words reached You Hongzhuo's ears with the autumn wind from afar, and he smiled slightly.
The dialogue between the six people in front of him made him feel a little nostalgic.
He had killed people in that small mountain village before, and later he met six brothers and sisters, and after becoming sworn sworn friends, he started to travel all the way. Although not long after, due to the betrayal of his fourth brother Kuang Wenbai, the group fell into pieces, and he was hunted down for it.
But in retrospect, he was lonely and helpless when he first entered the world. Later, the world gradually became complicated and heavy. Only during the period when he followed the six brothers and sisters, the world seemed pure and interesting to him.
At that time, the world he saw was new every day, and the rumors he heard were all exciting. The seven people helped each other, so they didn't have to sleep in a shaky state - even though it was an illusion, the warmth and stability felt like that later.
Never again.
In the past few years, he has fought all the way, and worked with many like-minded people to resist the Jurchens and Liao Yiren. In fact, he has seen many people who can be truly relied on and entrusted to him. But for him, he has no more sworn friends.
Now that I think about it, it was my bad luck. The road I took when I entered the world was too cruel.
These warriors living in the south seem somewhat naive and disorganized.
He followed the six people all the way from a distance. The Chengdu plain has a broad view. Fortunately, these people took the main road in the first half of the journey. In the second half of the journey, the six people had ulterior motives and left the main road to look for the woods. They took a detour through the small road, which was how You Hongzhuo got there.
Follow the conditions provided.
Along the way, You Hongzhuo was thinking about who should help and who was a good person. The six people in front of him made him feel more or less friendly. On the whole, these six people were indeed determined to do something they thought
The right thing. But on the other hand, the closer he got to the core area managed by the Chinese Army, the more refreshing the surrounding scenery made him feel. The land here was fertile, the paddy fields were stretched, the roads were solid, and the villages were orderly. Many places could clearly see the
Saw signs of new reclamation.
Since the time when the female prime minister defected to the Tiger King many years ago, she has been developing agriculture, commerce, and painstakingly reclaiming farmland in various places. Especially in the context of the Jurchen's march south, she has been struggling to support the entire situation, and in some places
It was burned down by the Jurchens and destroyed by the villains headed by Liao Yiren, but the female prime minister has been trying her best to rebuild it. You Hongzhuo has been helping the female prime minister camp for several years, and he has become increasingly clear about these touching deeds.
During the more than ten years of turmoil in the Central Plains, the entire world was broken and destroyed, but only the Jin region, which was originally difficult to survive, preserved a decent livelihood. You Hongzhuo, who traveled south, also saw many places without chickens.
Ming, the scene of white bones exposed in the wild. This is the achievement and pride of being a Jindi people. But such achievements seem to be nothing compared with the scene in the southwest.
The Chengdu Plain has never experienced a major war for so many years. Did this kind of scene exist before, or was it more built after the arrival of the Chinese army?
As he walked, he considered these problems in his mind.
On the other hand, he recalled the overall feeling of the past few days. In addition to the six knights in front of him, there were indeed many people who wanted to cause trouble in Chengdu recently. I am afraid that the people who went to Zhang Village in the past few days
No less. The strength of the Chinese army is stretched thin after defeating the Jurchens. If so many people are really scattered and want to cause trouble of one kind or another, how can the Chinese army deal with it?
They had also encountered such a situation when they were in the Jin Dynasty. The enemy was not only the Jurchens, but also Liao Yiren who had taken refuge with the Jurchens. He had also offered high rewards to incite these and other desperadoes to take the female prime minister.
Some people just wanted to be famous or just couldn't stand the identity of the female prime minister, so they listened to all kinds of deceptive words and wanted to kill her.
As the bodyguard of the female prime minister, the Dragon King follows the female prime minister to protect her. People like You Hongzhuo spontaneously act as defenders in the green forest, providing help and inquiring about information. When they hear that someone is coming to cause trouble, they take the initiative to stop it.
During this period, there were actually some unjust, false and wrongful cases, and of course there were more tragic killings one after another.
What should the Chinese army do? Judging from the situation this time, so many "righteous men" are standing opposite them. With so many enemies, if the chaos reaches the level of Jin...
As the sun set, You Hongzhuo was thinking about these things while following the six people in front of him into the sparse woodland outside Zhang Village...
…
On July 18th, Chengdu, the sun was still shining brightly on the city.
The crowds were bustling, merchants were coming and going, and all kinds of people in the city were doing their own thing. The quarrels between the great Confucians in the newspapers became increasingly fierce, and they analyzed the worldly affairs in many eloquent articles. Indeed, several chapters were actively discussed, and even many years later, in some historical records
Leave your name in the record.
The scholars who were determined to try their luck in the Chinese army gradually grasped some rules for the subjects required for examination. In addition to studying every day, even some private night schools and study classes also
It has been opened in the corners of the city. The scholars who first found these places seemed to have found a shortcut. People studied and discussed, gradually opening the door to the new world.
The World's No. 1 Martial Arts Competition has begun to create a lively atmosphere in the city. The preliminary rounds of this selection competition will officially end in August. In the last ten days of July, the masters who may stand out in the competition have already arrived.
.Based on this background, Zhu Ji compiled a list of warriors who have qualified for the finals after two victories.
Since the government does not allow gambling, and it is inconvenient to make too subjective rankings, two underground casinos and some authoritative experts secretly compiled a list of the top fifty warriors who have temporarily appeared in Chengdu. Two lists.
The life stories of each warrior are vividly and vividly calculated. If you are proud of your martial arts, the odds of future martial arts competitions will also rise and fall accordingly. With gambling and stories, the curiosity and enthusiasm of the people in the city for this martial arts competition began to gradually change.
Gotta get high.
All the scenes showed a sense of prosperity, and even the previous fierce attacks on the Chinese army became somewhat restrained after half of July. But in the undercurrent of the city, tension was constantly rising.
Piling up, waiting for something to happen.
After receiving the notice that the division was free, Yu Hezhong followed the female soldier Xiaoling and walked quickly through the courtyard in front, and saw a woman in a moon-white dress by the lake.
She seems to be very busy these days. Although she was demoted from the diplomatic department of the Huaxia Army to the propaganda department, on the eve of the opening of the First Congress, Yu Hezhong also found out that she would be the propaganda department of the Huaxia Army in the future.
Will be one of the main managers. However, despite being busy, her spirit and complexion during this period of time seem to be getting younger and fuller.
The reason is not difficult to guess. Since the first time they met, I have become more and more attracted to her. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... I might not have been willing to think about this more than ten years ago.
Admit it, but now, there is nothing to be ashamed of.
After greeting each other, Yu Hezhong suppressed the throbbing in his heart, sat down solemnly on the chair in front of his teacher, and thought about it for a moment.
"The situation in the city has been very tense recently. What are you guys thinking?"
He opened his mouth with a question, showing his concern for this side. As expected, Shishi was not angry and tilted his head with a smile.
"What's the situation?"
"The matter has come to this, and there is nothing to hide... Maybe Master, you are mainly concerned about writing these days. There will be great chaos in the city before the end of the month, do you know?"
"Where did Brother Yu hear the rumor?"
"I deal with General Liu and the others all day long, and I can always hear what I should hear. Master, Yan Daolun wants to promote business with the Chinese Army. This is one thing, but where do they want to go?
, it’s another thing. I don’t know... what Li Heng is thinking. This time, so many people from different religions and schools were put into Chengdu, and there are a bunch of scholars who are adding fuel to the flames, but you still don’t control them in private.
Sooner or later something will happen..."
"It's not that there is no control. Anyone who commits adultery and violates the law will still be arrested." Shishi defended with a smile, "Besides, Li Heng often said that if you want to do business, you have to take risks. If they don't come in, everyone will continue to take risks."
There is no chance to get to know each other. Today in Chengdu, we just want the Huaxia Army to have a chance to say hello to people all over the world, otherwise, wouldn’t they all be speculating in private about what the Huaxia Army is like?”
"But today they are opening the door to the thieves! There are too many!" Yu Hezhong knocked on the table and lowered his voice: "They want to assassinate Li Heng, do you know?"
"Li Heng has been assassinated enough over the years."
"But this time is different from others. This time there are many Confucian scholars inciting, and hundreds of people will come together to do this. You don't even know who it is, and they will talk about it in private. In the past few days
, six or seven people have discussed this matter with me, if you don’t restrain yourself..."
"They were just talking. They probably didn't say they would do something. It's not easy for us to restrain them. After all, Li Heng said he had to say hello..."
"But all the people from all walks of life below will be incited! Those merchants, escorts, and green foresters who came to the city only wanted to be famous once in their lives. This time they all said they would participate in the grand event and do a big thing. It's like
...that gunpowder barrel containing gunpowder, once it is ignited, bang - it will explode!"
Shishi thought for a while: "...I think Li Heng should have been prepared for it."
"He's not prepared enough! He shouldn't have opened the door in the first place!" Yu Hezhong was excited for a moment, and then finally calmed down: "Well, Master, the people you usually deal with are different from the people I deal with, so, so,
What I see and hear may be different. I have seen various things outside over the years. These people... may not be successful enough, but always fail. They... may be powerless when facing the Jurchens. That is because the Jurchens
Those who are not of our race dare to fight and kill. The Chinese army is too gentle. Next, as long as there is a slight flaw, they may swarm in. Li Heng was assassinated by several or dozens of people in the past, but he was still able to block it, but this
If hundreds or even thousands of people in the city swarm in, bad things will always happen. You...do you just want to say hello like this?"
The master nodded: "This matter... I believe there will be preparations here. After all, I am not in the position, and I know less about the matter of fighting and killing. However, if Brother Yu can have a systematic idea,
, such as how to view this matter, how to deal with it, which people to be wary of... Why not go see Li Heng and talk to him? As my sister, I can make some arrangements for this matter. "
Yu Hezhong was stunned for a moment. He considered it in his mind for a moment. This time, he heard the fierce public opinion outside. He became nervous. He felt that he had a chance to talk to his teacher before he came over. But to discuss such a clear topic
After all, there is no clue at all about the detailed control. A group of scholars can talk vividly when talking, but when it comes to who should be careful and who should be arrested, who can talk nonsense and who dares to talk nonsense?
After hesitating like this for a moment, Yu Hezhong sighed: "I mainly want to remind you that you should forget about meeting Li Heng. You know, he is a very thoughtful person, and he didn't even talk about...
Sentence...I just want to remind you that you must also be careful and pay attention to safety..."
As he said this, he leaned forward and moved his hands forward naturally, trying to hold Shishi's hand on the table, but Shishi had already retracted his hand, smoothed the hair around his ears, and looked at the lake aside.
I didn't seem to see any obvious movements on his part.
"I live here and I won't run out. My safety is the same as everyone else's, so there's no need to worry."
Yu Hezhong was originally very excited, and he made up his mind when he reached out his hand. If he held his hand, he would say something. But Shishi's avoidance was too obvious, and suddenly it seemed like a drop of water was poured on his forehead.
A basin of cold water. He thought about it in his mind and sighed calmly: "As you know, the rumors outside say that you are already someone from Li Heng..."
"Hezhong, what if that's not a rumor?"
Shishi looked over with a smile, Yu Hezhong was stunned for a moment, and then finally took his hand back: "...Hey, how long has it been, and you are still so fond of joking. If it is true, there will naturally be many people protecting you.
But if not, this rumor will harm you..."
He leaned back in his chair and then said: "Anyway, I am also a little anxious. That's all I should tell you. Alas, it is not easy for the Chinese army to reach this point. Don't look at Yan Daolun and the others when they faced you.
They turned around and pointed at the Chinese army to do more things. If someone really assassinated Li Heng before August and the Chinese army fell into pieces, they would benefit a lot. Although I am stupid,
, but we also know that it is easy to win the world, but difficult to dominate the world..."
"It's not yet time to rule the world."
"It's almost the same." Yu Hezhong stood up, "Okay, I'll leave first. I guess you have a lot to do. Anyway... I hope you are well, and I also hope this business can be successful... Let's talk next time."
"I'll give it to you."
Shishi stood up and sent him out. Yu Hezhong became more and more irritable. When he reached the courtyard gate, he turned around to block Shishi: "It's fine here, you...it's not safe outside and you're busy, so don't go out..."
"
Shishi smiled helplessly but brilliantly, bowed slightly: "Okay, see you next time."
"See you next time, see you next time..."
Yu Hezhong waved his hands and left here pretending to be calm all the way. The mood in his heart was low and gloomy, with ups and downs. The teacher's words "If it weren't for rumors" seemed to be warning him, reminding him, but then he thought about it,
More than ten years ago, Shishi had a somewhat eccentric temperament, and when he did joke, he really did what he wanted.
Is she with Ning Yi, or not? After thinking about this question all the way, I couldn't help but think of the embarrassment when I stretched out my hand and was avoided. I just felt that my little thoughts had been completely exposed in front of the other party——
It’s okay to be exposed, but the sad thing is to be rejected. Once rejected, many problems will hit you in the face like a slap in the face: you have a wife and children, can you be the best in the southwest transaction this time?
The important middleman is all because of her care for herself...
This realization made him feel a little dizzy, and he felt that he had lost all face. But after walking for a while, he recalled the past, and he felt hope again. He remembered that when they met for the first time a few days ago, she had said that she had not
Marrying herself out, she was a joker, and she did not resolutely reject herself...
It is also true that it is not surprising that it is difficult for her to favor her in her current situation. According to what I thought before, I hope to take advantage of this opportunity in the southwest to save some benefits and talk capital, and then I can be worthy of her.
, I am really dizzy today... Since Master Shishi has never refused, with her exquisite heart, her own thoughts have been exposed. Although this is a bit uncomfortable, but if you think about it carefully, it is not too big.
bad thing?
He had various random thoughts in his mind. When his thoughts gradually calmed down and the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, he thought of the main reason for coming here in the peaceful atmosphere near Yingbin Road. Countless people from outside were waiting.
There has been trouble, and Yan Daolun and the others will be happy to see it happen. They are still taking it lightly. This is probably due to their confidence after repelling the Jurchens.
He hopes that this transaction can be successful and that the Chinese army can make a smooth transition, but thinking about this now, he is vaguely expecting something bad to happen. When the chaos here becomes chaotic, Shishi will understand the painstaking efforts on his side.
The path of the Chinese army can also be more stable, and if chaos really breaks out, the teacher will inform Ning Yi of his warning today. When the time comes, he will meet with the other party again, and many things can be said more easily.
.
As the sun set, he walked through the bustling streets of Chengdu and saw every scholar and warrior, all like righteous men waiting to take action. Every look in people's eyes seemed to be telling something in private, plotting.
in series.
If something happens, let something happen...
he thinks.
…
"...The Chinese army is prepared."
The warm wind in the afternoon blew across the water on the river, and the fragrance of tea lingered in the boat.
This seemed to be an ordinary gathering. Guan Shanhai, Lang Guoxing, Mu Wenchang, etc. gathered together at the call of Yang Tiehuai. It seemed that there were ears across the wall, so they chose a painted boat on the river.
Yang Tiehuai, also known as Huaigong, had his head broken a month ago while arguing with people on the street. At this time, his forehead was still bandaged. He poured tea and spoke calmly:
"The Chinese army is on guard." He said, "As we all know, the situation in the city is loose on the outside but tight on the inside. Many Zhuji personnel have already entered the city, and even broke into the so-called 'righteous men' in the market. Many of them
People will be arrested as soon as they make a move. Yesterday there was a fight in Anqingfang, and two people died, both of whom were outside assassins. There was also an incident on Yingbin Road, and the assassins were caught on the spot every time. The Chinese Army is very effective in preventing assassinations.
He’s very skillful, but I’m afraid it won’t work if he makes a small fuss... Please give me some tea.”
Everyone was serving tea, and Guan Shanhai on the side said: "Since he knew that the Chinese army was on guard, Huaigong still asked us old guys to come over? What if there were one or two 'comrades' of the Chinese army among us and we were caught as soon as we got off the boat?
manage?"
"The Chinese army is the hero who defeated the Jurchens. We are gathering today just to worry about the situation in the city. What's the crime?" Yang Tiehuai's expression did not change, and he glanced at everyone, "The situation in Chengdu today is different from the green forest in the past.
The assassinations organized by people are different. Nowadays, there are many... bandits. When they enter the city, some of them are targeted and some are not. We don't know who will take action and who will shrink back. But for the Chinese army, this
After all, it is a matter of guarding against thieves for a thousand days. If there is a group of opponents, they will arrange a group of people to keep an eye on it."
"... Their manpower is limited. If these bandits come up in groups, the Chinese Army will catch them one by one. But if there are dozens of groups of people attacking at the same time, the net laid by the Chinese Army will inevitably be overwhelmed.
Not caught. So in the final analysis, what happened this time is a competition between people's hearts and strength. On the one hand, we look at how strong the Chinese army is, and on the other... we look at the people's hearts and minds who don't like the good life of the Chinese army...
…”
He picked up the tea cup: "If strength is greater than the people's hearts, this network will be impregnable. But if the people's hearts are greater than the strength, this network may be broken."
A group of old people nodded and drank tea. Among them, Mu Wenchang, who was in his forties, looked at the people around him and said: "In other words, we don't know whether these 'bandits' in the city will take action today, but maybe people are not united."
, some people want to move, some don't, some are willing to risk their lives, and some want to wait and see... But if there are too many people waiting and watching, the people's hearts will not be able to compare with their strength."
"If I were a gangster, I would definitely hope that there would be fewer onlookers when I take action." Yang Tiehuai nodded.
"The strength of the Chinese Army is there now, but the hearts of the people in the world today are unstable. Because of the strength of the Chinese Army, those people in the city say it is impossible to gather together for righteousness. Whether they can break that strength depends on
What's interesting is how many people took action... Speaking of which, this really seems to be the... conspiracy that Ning Yi often used." Someone said this.
Yang Tiehuai smiled: "Drinking tea today is just to talk about the situation in the city. I know that many of your subordinates here are with people. It is not easy for the Chinese Army to manage this situation. If something happens next, they will inevitably
If you get angry, you should restrain your subordinates and prevent them from doing things that would please your loved ones and your enemies... Okay, this is just a casual chat. If you have anything else to say, feel free to say it.
, everyone is worried about the Chinese Army."
He smiled and waved his hands.
"...Please give me tea."
The sun shines in from the window lattice of the boat, and there are many unknown corners inside the city where similar gatherings and conversations are taking place. Impassioned words are always easy to say, but things are not easy to do, but when you speak generously,
If there are enough, some things that have been quietly brewing may explode.
When the scholar named Mu Wenchang left the painting boat, it was already evening. In this golden autumn evening, he would think of the shock and despair he felt when he first witnessed the Chinese army formation more than ten years ago.
It was in the second year of Wu Jianshuo's reign that he became the chief staff officer of Yan Zhenguo, the envoy of Qin Feng Road's economic strategy and pacification, which was the first high point in Mu Wenchang's life. The Wu Dynasty lost the Central Plains, and Yan Zhenguo had no choice but to seek refuge with the Jurchens and protect himself wisely.
When Lou Shi attacked the northwest, they were forced to participate in the attack on Yanzhou.
That autumn, he saw the brutality of the black flag for the first time. They were flying the Chinese flag, but they did not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. They attacked the Jurchens and the Han people at the same time. Some people thought that the Chinese army was powerful, but the battle lasted for several years.
In the end, the entire northwest was massacred and turned into a white field, with countless neutrals and those who had no choice but to be killed in the middle.
For so many people, they could have won over and persuaded them. Even during the war, Mu Wenchang had carefully revealed his willingness to join the Chinese army to find a career, but the Chinese army was ruthless and they only accepted enlistment.
Even though he was a small soldier, he didn't seem to care about such high-ranking officials as Mu Wenchang.
Originally, there were countless people in the Central Plains who were willing to defect to the past, but the Chinese army only wanted to fight and could not tolerate any detours.
In April of the fourth year of Jianshuo, the Chinese army defeated Yan Zhenguo and the Zhejia coalition forces at Shalangling, killing Yan Shuai and many Zhejia children. In the next three years, the Xiaocang River swallowed up millions of Han troops in the world...
But so what? In the end, it’s not about escaping? In the end, countless people who didn’t deserve to die died.
Mu Wenchang fled south in embarrassment. His wife and children were crushed in that war. One of his daughters was even married to a Jurchen officer through his initiative. Later, when the Jurchen army was killed and the Jurchen army was defeated in the northwest, he
My daughter died among a group of rioters fighting against the Jin Dynasty.
Fighting against gold requires fighting, but what he has learned in his life tells him that the world cannot be improved by fighting blindly. If you become as cruel as the Jurchens, even if you win the world, you will not be able to rule the world.
——The Chinese Army must be wrong!
——The Chinese Army must be wrong...
This time in Chengdu, we will clearly tell the world this truth.
He thought about it over and over again as he walked through the streets at dusk.
…
At the same moment, a strong man named Shi Yuanmeng would think of the gunshot and the chaos in the Jinluan Palace more than ten years ago.
"Oh, Zhou Zhe..."
That vague sigh was a sound he would never forget in his life, and what happened next was a scene he still can't let go of.
How could there be such a person?
It was the first siege of Bianliang City after defeating the Jurchens, and then he dealt with the traitor Qin Siyuan and rewarded him based on his merits. Relying on his family connections, he followed Tan Zhen's path and met the Holy Spirit for the first time in his life. For that time
During the face-to-face meeting, he worshiped all his family ancestors, even fasted for three days, burned incense and bathed, treating that face-to-face meeting as the most glorious moment in his life.
In order to not be rude when playing against the Golden Palace--although it was impossible to have any conversation with him--he spent most of the day practicing etiquette at home, constantly practicing the etiquette of kneeling and kowtowing in front of the portraits of his ancestors and the etiquette of thanking him after giving a reward.
After the face-to-face ceremony, the banquet for the guests has already been arranged.
Who would have expected that when the seven of them entered the Golden Palace, the merchant's son-in-law, who was supposed to be the most humble person in the palace, stood up with a sigh after kneeling down.
He still can't understand that situation. He sighed and called His Majesty's name, and then there was a bang. Everyone was still in a daze. He had already walked over and slapped the extremely lofty Prince Tong on the face.
On his face, Prince Tong looked like a soldier, with countless military exploits. I don’t know how many generals would be frightened to the point of trembling in front of him, but at that moment, he flew up and hit his head hard on the golden steps.
How can you walk in the golden palace? How can you beat the child prince? How can you lift up His Majesty, who is like a god, and smash him to the ground?
He had never thought that there would be such a person without a king or a father in the world, and he had never thought that there would be such a rebellious act in the world. Unfortunately, at that time, he could not react at all, and he knelt beside the door from beginning to end.
"A bunch of trash."
In front of the Golden Palace, the man hit the emperor on the head with the back of his knife, and said these contemptuous words to all the high-ranking ministers in the Golden Palace. Li Gang was yelling, Cai Jing was dumbfounded, and Prince Tong was crawling in a pool of blood on the ground.
Wang Fu, Qin Hui, Zhang Bangchang, Geng Nanzhong, Tan Zhen, Tang Ke, Yan Daozhang... some officials were even so frightened that they collapsed on the ground...
It is strange to say that after experiencing that incident, Shi Yuanmeng felt that there was nothing more strange in the world. His response to many things became chaotic and calm. After the fall of the Central Plains, he came to the south and also
He once served in the army, and later worked for some big families. Because of his vicious and sharp methods, he was quite popular among people, and later he also had some reliable confidants.
When the Southwest Gate is opened this time, he will come over and do something that will also shock the entire world.
He will think of the scene when Ning Yi walked past him that day. The words he said that day about "a bunch of trash" probably did not even include the few people kneeling at the door... He will do the same thing today.
This incident is to warn the whole world of those who have no king, no father, and are rebellious and unethical. Their lives will also be taken away by loyal ministers and righteous men!
"Brother, things are ready."
The brother who was working in the yard came over and said this to him.
Shi Yuanmeng turned around and saw that the two wooden barrels in the yard had been arranged. He went over to check them again.
"Do you all know?" he said, "Ning Yi keeps talking about the study of studying things. This study of studying things is not his thing at all... He colluded with the traitors and defeated Liangshan with the power of the Prime Minister.
, captured a righteous man, Mr. Gongsun, known as "Ruyunlong" Gongsun Sheng in the world. This Mr. Gongsun was proficient in the art of thunder and fire. Ning Yi took his recipe and detained his people. These
It takes years to develop the art of gunpowder to this level."
Shi Yuanmeng looked at the people in the yard: "This devil is greedy for the merits of heaven and his own merits. He is treasonous and has many evil deeds. He was able to defeat the Jurchens only with the help of these firearms. Today, he is hiding in Bandang."
Southwest, take advantage of the Jurchen army to defeat everyone, and then use these firearms to defeat the opponent... I will not sit back and watch such a thing again. Let's kill Ning Yi this time, and someone will rescue Mr. Gongsun from Southwest. By then, this firearm
It's easy to spread the art throughout the world and defeat the Jurchens. Our country, the Wu Dynasty, will last forever! We, the people, have truly saved the entire world!"
The evening sun was swallowed up by the horizon like a fireball, and someone handed over his hand: "I will follow my brother to the death."
"For the sake of the world, I will follow my eldest brother to the death!"
The city was burning red, and there were countless movements and sounds under the sea of fire.
That night, Ning Ji was in Wen Shoubin's yard and heard for the 101st time the other party's heroic prophecy that "the matter will happen in the next two days."
The next day, at the martial arts tournament, Huang Shan came over and said to him: "In recent times, there are rumors that something will happen in Chengdu. Why don't you, the Chinese Army, be more careful?" It made people feel that the other party was worried about the situation of the Chinese Army.
Worried, Ning Ji no longer had any expectations for their ability to move, and replied with a paralyzed face: "If you want to cause trouble, just make it."
"Hey, you're just kidding, you're not talking about us. We didn't intend to cause trouble. Look, my senior brother and I also participated in the competition, didn't we... I'm just worried. If the current situation is chaotic, this martial arts tournament will not be held.
Is that so? Your Chinese army must keep a close eye on this matter..."
"The first division went to Lao Niutou to quell the chaos. The remaining divisions were already attrition. At this time, they are placing prisoners and guarding the entire Sichuan Fourth Road. There are only so many people in Chengdu. But there is nothing to be afraid of. The Jurchens are not
They were also repulsed by us, what kind of trouble could a bunch of chickens and dogs from outside cause?"
"That's, that's... Brother Long is right, after all, the Jurchens were repelled..."
"Don't make trouble, or I will beat you to death..." Ning Ji glanced at him.
Huangshan smiled honestly: "How can it be possible? How can it be possible? We really plan to make a name for ourselves in the martial arts competition."
The two were acting for each other, but even though they understood that the strong man was acting, Ning Ji had waited too long for things to happen. He almost had no expectations for things to actually happen. This was the case with Wen Shoubin, from the beginning
He started by saying impassionedly that he was going to do bad things. He gave away two of his "daughters" and then attended banquets all day long. He also started to "slowly figure out" the matter of sending Qu Longjun to his eldest brother.
.
This recent incident in the city will probably be like this. A group of people spoke impassioned words, but in the end, no one dared to do anything, and it became a joke... It's a pity that he is not in Zhangcun now, otherwise he would be with a group of friends
I was laughing so hard... Well, school will start after September anyway, so I will just tell them what I have experienced here.
…
On the hills next to the village near Zhangcun, the night gradually deepened. After midnight, the light of the stars and the moon shone down from the sky, and in the forest, only the footsteps of nocturnal animals could be heard occasionally.
.
Six knights surrounded the city and were talking in low voices.
"I don't know what's going on over there in Chengdu..."
"So many people say they want to do something big, but what if no one takes action?"
"The Chinese army is very powerful. If you fall into their hands, there will be no good end..."
"What if we are the only ones taking action and no one else can move?"
"That's not it..."
"We just need to cause chaos and mobilize the nearby Chinese army..."
"So brothers, do you want to do it or not?"
"I listen to everyone..."
The originally determined people turned to nonsense in the end. You Hongzhuo, who was hiding in the darkness not far away, sighed helplessly. At this moment, there was a "whoosh" in the distant night sky, and there were fireworks.
In the air, there seemed to be sounds of fighting.
"Someone took action..."
"Don't think too much, let's do it."
"Third and fourth, take the torch and prepare to go to the left to light a fire..."
"Burn the rice?"
"The rice is not fully ripe, so it cannot be burned now..."
"Burn the house. In the small village on the lower left, once the house burns, the most people will be alarmed. Then you can do whatever you want..."
"It's night and everyone is in the house."
"If you want to achieve something big, you can tolerate such a mother-in-law. If you don't let the Chinese army suffer, how can they come out! If the rice can be lit, then go and light the rice..."
"Light the fire down below, you people leave immediately. How many people do the Chinese Army need to lay out a net in this wild field? When the time comes, everyone will act according to the opportunity and create chaos again. If the Chinese Army goes to arrest you, we will be in other places
Set fire to kill..."
In the darkness, You Hongzhuo frowned slightly.
The third and fourth sons went down with the torches they had set up, and You Hongzhuo followed behind. From the previous conversation, he could see that the two men were hesitant. It was one thing to fight the enemy on the battlefield, but to burn the people's fields and houses.
is another thing.
When the two of them arrived at the edge of the village, they finally hesitated.
Someone said: "It's not a good thing to do this."
"Then what else can you do? You can go back and say you quit?"
"I……"
They were silent for a moment at the edge of the village. Finally, they moved towards the back of a house. The man who had said he was not a good man took out a fire stick and blew it a few times, and the flames lit up in the darkness.
They lit the torches.
You Hongzhuo, who was behind the two of them, sighed.
Cut it off with the sword.
…
July 20. Chengdu.
Shortly after nightfall, Ning Ji heard a loud explosion from the city. Many people heard the noise.
