Gao Chengde quickly returned to his home and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that his elderly mother was safe and sound. He was originally a resident of Kaijingguan City and made a living by hunting. Although this was a natural pass,
In fact, it's just like a small town anywhere else.
He hurried back home from the street, still carrying the blood on the street that had not been completely wiped off. As he rushed back, his heart was in his throat. He saw with his own eyes the people who defended the city.
The heads and bodies of the officers and soldiers were all separated within one day, and the splash of blood dyed the entire street red. Fortunately, there was a spring rain two days ago, and thanks to that spring rain, the street was covered with blood.
The blood stains were washed away completely. However, the spring rain washed away the blood stains, but it could not dissipate the bloody smell that filled the street. Standing on the street, from time to time, there would be waves of bloody smell.
It goes out of the nostrils and is disgusting.
"Chengde, you're back. Let's eat something quickly. There are Northern Han soldiers everywhere in Tianjing Pass now. He has to be careful. Don't let the Northern Han soldiers take him as a spy of the Great Zhou Dynasty and arrest him.
.My mother has been on tenterhooks these past few days, fearing that something might happen to you. If something happens to you, how will your mother be able to live?" A silver-haired old woman saw this young and strong man running quickly.
After being admitted to the hospital, she couldn't help but give instructions.
"Mom, it's okay. Chengde will be careful. By the way, has Mr. Xiao eaten? Why don't you ask him to come and eat together?" Gao Chengde replied while holding on to the man with silver hair and snowy steps who was holding a cane.
The old woman looked everywhere in the dilapidated yard.
"Mr. Xiao is out for something. He'll be back soon. Let's eat first. By the way, how is the situation outside? Are the city gates still closed? Alas, it's really hard to live this day. Both the north and south city gates are closed.
Feng Shou, how can the people in the pass live? Did you go to the Northern Han general to ask for any justice today? If the city gate is not opened for a day, the people in Tianjing Pass will be the ones who suffer."
The old woman walked tall and tall, and said angrily with dissatisfaction.
"There is still no explanation. If the child hadn't run fast, he might have been beaten with a stick. These thieves from the Northern Han Dynasty have no regard for the life and death of our people. The emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty actually worshiped the Khitan dog as his father. It's really shocking.
It is disgraceful that those Khitan barbarians, instead of hiding in the grasslands and deep mountains, come to peep at the great rivers and mountains of our Central Plains. They are really arrogant and ambitious."
After the mother and son took their seats, food was already placed on the old wooden table. The two picked up the old bowls and were about to start eating, when the door of the courtyard opened with a creak, and they saw a man walking in from outside the courtyard.
An old man in commoner clothes with vicissitudes of life, an ordinary old man. Under the silver hair on his head were wrinkles like ravines. The old man's eyes were full of turbid color, and he walked slowly under his feet. He carefully walked on the muddy ground.
Stepped on it and walked towards the house.
Xiao Yujing stayed in Tianjingguan City. He was not in a hurry to leave. When he arrived at Tianjingguan City, the city, which was as big as a small town, had not yet been captured by the Northern Han army. And he was a dying man.
The old man's identity was left in Gao Chengde's home. Perhaps Gao Chengde's mother and son saw that the old man was pitiful and helpless, so they kept him here.
Xiao Yujing did not participate in the Northern Han Dynasty's military operation against Tianjing Pass. He occasionally encountered Khitan Wolf Blood Guards, and there was no problem with his martial arts skills. What's more, he still stayed here as a hobbling old man.
Within the city, he was not recognized by the Khitan Wolf Blood Guards.
"Mr. Xiao, where have you been? Hurry up, dinner is just about to begin!" Gao Chengde penetrated the open wooden door in front of the house and saw Xiao Yujing walking in slowly. He immediately greeted him. To this sudden arrival,
He did not have any suspicion about the old man who was trapped in Tianjingguan City on the grounds of seeking refuge with relatives. In the eyes of Gao Chengde and his son, Xiao Yujing was just an old man who could not seek refuge with relatives and was helpless.
"Haha, I've bothered you for so many days, thank you both." Xiao Yujing narrowed his cloudy eyes with a hint of apology in his tone.
"Look what you said, no matter what you say, no need to disturb anyone. No one has any trouble. Mr. Xiao, you can stay here with peace of mind. It won't be too late to leave the city after the city gate is unsealed. Anyway, it's just us, mother and son. Although this courtyard is dilapidated,
It's a bit expensive, but the room is still enough. I'm just afraid that you won't be used to living in our mountains and wilderness."
"In other words, if you two hadn't taken me in, I would have died on the street long ago."
Xiao Yujing asked Gao Chengde about some things in Guancheng again, but he couldn't find out anything. The city gate was sealed and no news from outside could be transmitted into Guancheng. The three of them chatted in silence while eating, and Gao Chengde and his son
He kept scolding the traitors of the Northern Han Dynasty, and of course the Khitan barbarians were also scolded.
There was only a bowl of porridge and a few side dishes on the wooden table. After Gao Chengde gave Xiao Yujing a bowl of porridge, he started to eat. When the mother and son got excited, they couldn't help but started to curse, saying nothing about the food.
The rules of the class were completely ignored.
"Cough, cough, cough." Xiao Yujing couldn't hear the words of the mother and son. When he heard their scoldings, he couldn't help but choked on the gruel. He was almost breathless. The mother and son
While drinking the porridge, he cursed the Khitan people loudly.
"Old Xiao, what's the matter? Our family only has this food now. We don't know when the city gate will be unblocked. We can only drink porridge now. Don't mind it. It's just those Northern Han thieves who have nothing to do after they're full.
, unexpectedly invaded our border with the Great Zhou Dynasty, could it be that they thought they could capture the entire Great Zhou Dynasty in one fell swoop by taking over Tianjing Pass?" Seeing this, Gao Mu looked slightly unhappy in her old age and said to Xiao Yujing.
"It's okay, it's okay. I just choked. Now it's good to have porridge to drink. I'm already very satisfied." Xiao Yujing slapped his chest hard and explained quickly. The aggrieved feeling in his heart was simply endless.
He could complain everywhere, but the mother and son couldn't stop cursing the Khitans, which made him very embarrassed. While concealing his aggrieved expression, he gulped down the light porridge, which was as light as water.
The faint smell of blood on the street has not completely dissipated. The smell of blood that is sometimes thick and sometimes light rises and falls, making pedestrians walking on the street unable to help but have the urge to vomit. Fortunately, the spring rain,
The bloodstains that dyed the streets red were washed away. Otherwise, the bloodstains all over the streets would have turned Tianjingguan City into a hell.
Ma Chenghui's steps were very light. He raised his hand to look at the darkening sky, and couldn't help but feel anxious. He had lost contact with the brothers from the Feiqiao Camp who entered the Tianjing Pass City, and now entered the Feiqiao Camp inside the Tianjing Pass.
He didn't know how many brothers there were. He only knew that the Northern Han Army captured many people from Feiqiao Camp, and some of them died for the country.
Thinking of that overwhelming pursuit, he was still frightened at this moment. They were the elites of the Flying Bird Battalion, and they were killed to pieces by a group of people wearing Khitan costumes. He would never forget it.
The strong blood-evil aura pervaded the bodies of the Khitan people, as well as their extremely ferocious expressions. If it had not been for the help of this group of Khitan people, how could the Northern Han army, which had successfully attacked Tianjingguan, pursue them so brutally?
.
The officers and soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty who were guarding the city were killed to a complete defeat. It could be said to be an overwhelming massacre. Except for the civilians in the city, all the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty in the city were completely killed.
As for whether any fish slipped through the net, he didn't know.
During that massacre, he fled around the city like a bereaved dog. What he didn't expect was that after the Northern Han army captured Tianjing Pass, they sealed the city gate, leaving him to only run around within the city. Maybe it was
God favored him, and when he escaped into a widow's home, the crisis was relieved. And he could only temporarily settle down in this widow's home. In the past few days, there was no news, and he finally
Walked out of the widow's house to explore the situation.
When Widow Zhang was in her thirties, her ex-husband fell into a hunting trap and died during a hunting trip. If he died, he would die. Widow Zhang thought that she was a strong woman, so she did not spend all day like other people.
When she was bored, she made bacon from the wild animals that her ex-husband hunted, and she could sell them to make some money to make a living. This small pass town was not big, and the neighbors would help and buy the wild animals that others had hunted.
, processed by herself, and then sold, her life was very peaceful, just like the water in the pond, without any ripples.
Until the past few days, she herself didn't know what happened. Just that night, many people died on the street, most of them were the officers and soldiers guarding the city in Tianjing Pass. She just got up that day, because it was spring.
Because she came here, she collected a lot of animal meat. She wanted to take it out early in the morning and put it in front of her house, and then sell it at a good price.
However, what she didn't expect was that when he opened the courtyard door, he saw corpses with wet blood stains on the long blood-stained street. What she didn't expect was that the guards at Tianjing Pass had been replaced.
It is said to be the Northern Han Army in the north. That morning, she was almost naked, not because she was so sad or how much she loved Zhou Dynasty. Because, whoever saw the corpses full of blood flowing into the river
In the streets, no one can eat a grain of rice.
She is not a person who has a strong concept of the country. She is just an ordinary woman. She is still a widow. Her first priority is how to support herself. Whether it is the Zhou Dynasty or the Northern Han Dynasty,
No matter which country manages this Tianjing Pass, it doesn't matter to her as long as it allows her to survive.
She thought this was just an ordinary battle between the two countries. She thought that all this would pass. Anyway, it was the officers and soldiers who died, but few ordinary people like them suffered. This war did not
The people in Tianjingguan were not greatly affected. This was just a successful sneak attack and no civilians participated.
However, she still did not expect that her life was like a big stone thrown into a calm pond. Although there was no huge wave, it still stirred up ripples that were not too high. That day
, she finally calmed down the panic in her heart and prepared to cook and eat. She heard a fierce sound of killing coming from the street, and then after the sound of killing, there was a rush of footsteps throughout the street.
.
Not long after, a man covered in blood broke into her courtyard. She was so shocked that she didn't know what to do. The man broke into her house and hid. Not long after,
There was a rapid knock on the door of her courtyard. She didn't know why, but she didn't have the fear in her heart and actually opened the door. Standing in front of her door was a group of weirdly dressed people.
They are just a bunch of unreasonable barbarians.
Widow Zhang herself didn’t know what happened that day, nor did she know why she was so calm that day. The group of people spat out unclear Chinese, which seemed incomprehensible to her, and then she herself
She also deceived the group of people like a ghost. All of this made her feel extremely weird. Maybe this was not God's will, but God asked her to help this man covered in blood.
