Crown Tang emperor

As for the people who were accused of being called by name, they had a bitter look on their faces: "Brother, is it okay if you don't urinate? You really can't urinate if you are not in the drowning place. The habit of being beaten for several months in the Qinling Mountains..."

Yang Xianzong sighed after hearing the words, he has been in the club for a long time, but it is only recently that he has come into contact with these brave soldiers.The deepest impression is that these people have strict laws and regulations, have their own code of conduct, and do not violate the rules.

Although he didn't have any military experience, Yang Xianzong also knew that those who could do this must be elite soldiers.However, because of this, when these people entered the city, they were out of tune with the surrounding market atmosphere.

One or two are inconspicuous, but if there are too many of them, anyone can see the difference between these people.

In order to be able to hide in the city, Yang Xianzong also worried about it. It was okay to scatter around to observe the path during the day, but at night, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

It is also fortunate that people in Xijing have been focusing on Qujiang in the southeast recently, and the street soldiers in all fangs, including the county government servants, have to be dispatched to help. There are not so many official eyes and ears in the market, so they can barely accommodate themselves.

"Laws are easy to punish, but hard to rein in. These disciples have just been knocked out, and they haven't yet been weighed, and they haven't reached the point of becoming vulgar."

A robust middle-aged man from Kong Wu looked at Yang Xianzong and said with a smile that his name was Ma Chong, and he was originally a general in the Fenzhou military. It was inevitable that he would be blamed for fleeing too many times, so he simply gave up his military post and joined the Old Clothes Club.

Yang Xianzong nodded after hearing the words, and said: "The reason why Shangfeng uses me is not in the command of the bow and horse. In the future, most of our soldiers will be the city's lords. I will be the leader temporarily to attract you. As for supervising and acting, I still need you, the head of the cavalry, to take care of you."

"It's all righteous sons, there's no point in separating you from me."

Ma Chong smiled and nodded to Yang Xianzong, then put his clothes back together and lay down again.These brave warriors used to clear the way in the Qinling Mountains, and they had to face the bee robbers who occupied the peaks at any time, and they had already developed the habit of resting and adjusting to restore their physical strength anytime and anywhere.

Time passed quietly, and before he knew it, in the middle of the night, Yang Xianzong suddenly became alert in his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Ma Chong and other brave warriors had already dressed up and tied their waists, dug up the soil in the shed, and buried the swords and sticks buried in the ground. There are a lot of movements, but there is no big noise.

Yang Xianzong secretly felt ashamed, and raised his hand to pat his cheek to make himself more awake. Ma Chong had already handed him a saber, and said in a calm tone: "Incoming message!"

A group of people came out in a single file, there were a few cold stars in the sky, and the surrounding area was pitch black.Not long after, more than [-] brave warriors scattered all over the East City had gathered under the willow tree on the east bank of the release pool near the water gate of the East City.

"Count the numbers!"

"One, two..."

It was obvious that he was going to take a risky plan, Yang Xianzong was still a little apprehensive at first, but seeing the orderly actions of these brave fighters, his mood gradually calmed down.

"Report to the head of the team, you should go to 410 five, and you actually got to 410 five."

A soldier came forward to report, Ma Chong nodded slightly, then turned to look at Yang Xianzong.

Yang Xianzong held the fishbone letter talisman that had just been thrown in from outside the city for communication in his hand, nodded heavily, and then these soldiers divided into small groups and quickly dispersed in the small paths in the city.

Under the darkness of night, some shop assistants from Dongshi Mansion had already got up to prepare goods. At first, they listened curiously to the occasional sound of people and horses running in the streets outside the city, and then saw dozens of strong figures rushing by in the alley. They kept yelling loudly until some criminals sneaked into Dongshi to rob.

There were many similar screams, but they were all limited to a certain range. It was not until the sound of the police drum at the city gate on the south side that the entire East City was suddenly alarmed, and the lights of all the mansions were lit. Candlelight.

"Go!"

The leader of a brave warrior who had already been lurking near the Beishi Gate stopped shouting, and dozens of figures rushed straight to the frightened gate guards who were walking out of the gate to investigate. When rushing into the entrance building, they will smash anyone they meet. Those who fall to the ground will not be bothered, and those who run in a hurry will be driven to an empty room inside.

The city supervisor, who got up in a hurry, hadn't walked out of the door when the screen in the room was kicked away, and he was thrown to the ground by the rushing figure.Several people searched quickly, found the city gate key, and then hurried out.

Dozens of people also rushed into the horse market near the gate of Dongshi City, broke open the armory, and pulled the saddle of the horse.There were guards around the horse market rushing up, shouting and cursing, but they were all beaten and retreated.

"Three hundred horses, enough, withdraw!"

It took a long time to tidy up the horse clothes. At this moment, the brave warriors who were scattered in various places in Dongshi City had already gathered here, got on their horses and rushed towards the captured Beishimen Gate, went straight to Jinguangmen Street, and rode their horses eastward. Go straight to Longqingfang.

At this moment, the entire East Market is completely in chaos, and the street soldiers scattered in the shops gathered in a hurry, but when they rushed towards the street with their knives, sticks and equipment, the real target had already rushed out of the East Market, and only the mansions The employees and servants of the shop were either wandering in the street or guarding the shop, making the scene chaotic.

Yang Xianzong and his party galloped through the street on horseback, first they went straight to the Chunming Gate in the east of the city, ignited the sacks carried on the horses and smashed them at the Chunming Gate. The crowd came rushing fiercely, feeling invincible, hurriedly withdrew into the tower, and called Jin to warn.

The sacks were blazing at the gate tower, and the vacant mounts and the brave warriors who had been lying near the Chunming Gate got on their horses.

At the same time, outside the city gate, hundreds of brave warriors who had ambushed early in the morning frequently attacked the Chunming Gate.Although Chunming Gate has transferred a lot of soldiers here, but as the gate of Xijing and the east, it goes without saying that Chunming Gate is well-defended, especially the heavy bows and crossbows, which only use empty horses to constantly disturb the guards on the top of the city .

Dozens of people left in the city also continued to attack Chunming Gate. Chunming Gate still had a group of 300 guards. .

At the same time, more than a dozen brave fighters destroyed the wall of Longqingfang. Although Longqingfang is an expensive square in Beijing, the wall of the square is also not too high. Leaked a big gap!

"Only kill the traitor Wu Youyi, those who stand in the way will kill themselves!"

More than two hundred brave warriors charged into Longqingfang on horseback. At this time, there were many residents on the street who went out to watch the situation. Hearing the shouts, they returned to their homes and closed the doors tightly.

Wu Youyi's garden is very eye-catching in Longqingfang, not to mention that the brave warriors have already stepped on the spot, and rushed to the gate of the garden in a short time, and more than a dozen Wu's servants gathered at the gate, waving their staffs Want to resist the enemy, but where are the opponents of these brave fighters, they are quickly knocked down.

After taking this garden house, the brave warriors galloped in. After dismounting, they didn't need to discern carefully. Take a breath.

"There's not much time, so hurry up and collect the goods, move the silk first, and stack it in the vestibule! Is the boat in Longqingchi entering the garden? Move the goods onto the boat!"

Yang Xianzong shook his head, stopped paying attention to those charming Baoguang, and ordered the brave warriors in the garden, including the house slaves who had been controlled by the Wu family, to quickly move the goods in the warehouse.

Ma Chong asked people to pull several carriages from the garden, and installed the throwing equipment directly on the carriages with the brought parts. Boxes of gems, pearls and other items that were easy to throw were also selected, and the throwing equipment was assembled. After finishing, they loaded the jewels and pulled them out of Longqingfang, placed them on Jinguangmen Street, and continuously projected them to the top of Chunmingmen City!

Chapter 0271

Near Dunhuafang in the south of Xijing City, the sound of drums was like thunder, galloping horses neighed, and people's voices were buzzing, giving the momentum of galloping horses.

Of course, it is impossible for Xijing City to have more than ten thousand cavalry, but Li Tong really lacks military experience, and it is really difficult to judge how many troops are gathered here by sound.

But he and Wu Youyi rushed here together, and when they were still some distance away from Dunhuafang, the side streets were already full of cavalry troops who were ordered to gather here as far as they could see, and the wide streets were even congested.

As a visitor from later generations, to be honest, Li Tong had never seen such a large gathering of thousands of people.It can’t be said absolutely, I still saw some big scenes when attending the ceremony in the capital of God, but the occasions of that kind of etiquette are mainly solemn and solemn, and it can’t give people a sense of majesty.

Right now riding horses in this torrent of riders, even if these soldiers did not obey his orders, and it was not a military conquest to show off the frontier fortress, Li Tong still couldn't help but feel the excitement of gold and iron horses surging in his heart, and his mood Very excited.

However, Wu Youyi, who was traveling with him, didn't feel this way at all. He whipped the horse all the way, but his body armor was heavy, and his riding skills were so-so.Seeing this, Li Tong's mood was also ups and downs. In the end, he could only feel that this guy's life was really tough.

"Hurry up, hurry up! If there is any mistake in the official treasury of Dunhuafang, be careful of your dog's life!"

Almost turned over and dismounted from the horse, Wu Youyi was also terrified, she didn't dare to gallop the horse, but shouted orders to the surrounding soldiers.

After a noisy journey, they finally arrived at Dunhua Square. At this time, the gate of the square was wide open, and the lights inside and outside were brightly lit. The riders were scattered around the walls of the square, and many infantry poured into the square.

"How about the official treasury?"

After finally arriving here, Wu Youyi couldn't bear it any longer. She was lying on the horse's back, unable to straighten her waist. She just barely raised her head, and asked the advancing soldier in a weak tone.

"The official treasury did not suffer any disaster. The one that caught fire was a shed in Lizhengfang in the north, where a large amount of fodder was stored, and the fire could not be rescued..."

Hearing the commander's answer, Wu Youyi shuddered, and straightened up from the horse: "What? Why didn't you report earlier? Stupid, stupid... ah!"

He was jumping too violently in this posture, and he had already lost all his strength, and his inertia was stimulated. He could no longer stabilize his figure and fell directly from the horse's back.

Seeing this scene, Li Tong couldn't help but gag An Sheng, was he surprised or surprised?

After all, he was still a bit reluctant to give up material resources. The official treasury of Dunhuafang had recently collected several million catties of hemp goods. It would be a pity if they were all burned up in one fire, so he chose to start a fire in Linfang to make things safe. [-]. It is also convenient for personnel to evacuate, and secondly, this is also beneficial to the future trend of the situation.

After all, it was only to attract Wu Youyi to mobilize Xijing troops here. As long as this goal can be achieved, there is actually no difference between burning the official treasury or not.Especially this night, there were other people who secretly assisted and burned Wu Youyi's private treasury first. The current situation is better than directly burning the official treasury.It can be seen that everyone gathers firewood with high flames, and it still depends on many people to do things.

Soldiers gathered around and helped Wu Youyi up, but he couldn't stand upright at all, so he simply touched his armor. After removing the armor, Wu Youyi's figure was even more stooped, especially covered in sweat. The whole person seemed to be salvaged from the water, which showed how nervous he was about the safety of the official treasury here in Dunhuafang.

"Quickly check, hurry up... Dunhuafang needs to be checked, is there any rioters, etc.? Lizhengfang also needs to be checked, who lit the fire, which house caught fire, go quickly!"

Wu Youyi waved his hands to order, while he lay down directly on the couch that the slave had brought out from the workshop, his chest heaved violently, and his breathing was as heavy as a bellows.

"Xijing is really eventful tonight!"

Li Tong also dismounted, and walked over Youzai Youzai, with a serious and nervous expression on his face, "I just hope that this night will pass quickly, after dawn, under the sun, there will be no traces of evil!"

"Yeah, I just hope for the dawn..."

Wu Youyi's tone was still weak, but his eyes gradually became fierce: "After dawn, we must strictly investigate the whole city. I will kill whoever is playing tricks!"

Li Tong raised his hand and patted Wu Youyi's shoulder and back to help him feel better. It's you and me, but you just don't know where this is going, and there are even bigger surprises waiting for you.

Many soldiers gathered here, and the efficiency was extremely high. Lizheng Square quickly found out the cause. The fire was caused by an industry under the name of Lingling Temple, which mainly raised cattle and horses for carrying power. Therefore, there was a large amount of forage and the like, and it was burned. The momentum that followed was also great.The fire has not been extinguished until now, and the soldiers can only demolish the buildings outside the garden and sprinkle sand to fight the fire.

A fat black-clothed monk was escorted up, with a terrified expression, and threw himself on the ground to defend himself.But now Wu Youyi was so tormented that he was so full of anger that he couldn't vent it, and just now he regained some strength, he vented it all on the monk, whipping the monk so that he rolled on the ground.

As for Dunhuafang, it is even simpler, there are not many residents in the workshop, and there are plenty of soldiers from the left and near, so all the people in the workshop were expelled, and the Xijing guards entered and surrounded several official warehouses.

"Hedong King, you have a lot of wisdom. According to what you see, who is doing things tonight?"

After venting, Wu Youyi sat down again, and he felt calm and energetic to pursue other matters.

Li Tong shook his head after hearing the words: "I have only been in Xijing for a short time, and I have been worrying about the Qujiang incident. I am still ignorant of the robbery, so how can I know anything else."

"There are people who are treacherous, and they don't want me and the King of Hedong to get into the current affairs."

Wu Youyi's eyes were cold, and he didn't know what kind of idea was going on in his heart.

Li Tong raised his eyes and looked to the north. Except for the brightly lit and bustling two squares, most of the area in Xijing was still immersed in the night.

Chang'an City is too big, and it is difficult to control it with a force of less than tens of thousands. In addition, Wu Youyi, a living treasure who stays behind at random, makes the distribution of troops even more loopholes.At this moment, a large number of troops are gathered here, and the east of the city is covered by the highland of Leyouyuan. It is not easy to calm down the chaos everywhere.

He was still thinking about it here, and there was a rush of horseshoes in his ears, and he heard a hurried voice: "Is the stay here? The East City is calling the police. There are thieves making trouble in the city, and the north and south gates are under attack." Noisy, lack of defensive power..."

Hearing the urgent sound, Li Tong secretly raised his arms and clenched his fists, and made a grimace at Tang Lingshu who had been following closely behind him.

As for Wu Youyi, he slapped his knees and cursed: "How many thieves have sneaked into Xijing? Can they survive this night? There is no idle energy here. Let the merchants in the East City collect their own help to catch the thieves. Only after dawn will there be officials." The army enters the city to kill thieves!"

Hearing that Dunhua Square has changed, he doesn't even have time to take care of his own mansion being burned. At the moment, he is focused on guarding the official treasury in the workshop, and he has no mood to protect those merchants in Dongshi.

After the reporter heard the words, his face was a little ugly, and he fought for a little bit, but Wu Youyi scolded his head and face in return, so he didn't dare to force him anymore, he could only turn around and leave angrily.

But he hadn't traveled too far here, and the sound of galloping horses sounded from the north again.When Wu Youyi heard this voice, his face became extremely ugly, and he murmured: "It can't be another chaos..."

He hadn't finished speaking here before the life-threatening cry sounded again: "Is the King staying behind here? The bandits broke through the North Gate of Dongshi, turned into the side street to attack Chunming Gate and Longqingfang..."

"what?"

After Wu Youyi heard the words, she couldn't sit still anymore, she rushed forward and said in a loud voice: "The thieves are going to attack Longqingfang, they want to..."

"The thieves and the thieves shouted to kill the left behind..."

The reporter faltered and said, and then kowtowed: "Please stay behind and send help quickly! The squares in the north of the city are empty, and there is really no power to control the thieves!"

"Quick, quick! Reinforcement, reinforcement! Quickly pass on General Liu and lead the cavalry back to aid..."

Wu Youyi stamped his feet and roared, his tone extremely hasty, he had no other plans in his mind, the only thought was to keep his garden house in Longqingfang.Some cheap hemp stored in Tongjifang's private storage was suspected to be burned, which already made him feel pained. If the Longqingfang Garden, which hoarded treasures and heavy goods, was invaded by thieves, it would be poking his heart!

"You can't stay behind!"

Li Tong has been listening with his ears upright, but before Wu Youyi finished speaking, he stopped loudly, at the same time, Kuo Xing stepped forward and grabbed Wu Youyi's shoulders and shouted: "What's the purpose of this night's chaos? Can't you just stay behind and watch?" out!"

"What, what's the intention? Longqingfang, Longqingfang has my garden house..."

Wu Youyi's face was contorted, and the words he said were a bit out of tune.

"There are riots in many places in Xijing at the same time, which shows that the thieves have been planning for a long time! Once you stay behind and dispatch your troops to protect your property, if the official warehouse changes again, the crime of staying behind is serious!"

Li Tong said with a serious expression.

"There is no accident in the official warehouse, the fire is only in Linfang... No, there is no room for loss in Longqingfang's garden business!"

"This is exactly where the thieves' intentions are sinister! Stay behind and think for yourself. The thieves have been plotting for a long time. No one knows where the chaos is. Under the eyes of everyone, staying behind has no regard for the safety of the official treasury, but it makes the soldiers fight Protect your private property, once this matter is reported to God Capital, what will His Majesty the Holy Emperor think of staying behind?"

Hearing the young king's persuasion, Wu Youyi felt a basin of ice water poured over his head, and the whole person fell silent. After a while, he said in a shy voice: "Then Longqingfang, can't be saved?"

Having said everything that should be said, seeing Wu Youyi's mournful expression, Li Tong just let out a long sigh pretending to be helpless, and covered his face in annoyance and sighed: "Tonight, I know that there is a shortage of manpower, and this place in Xijing has its own story. , I and the left-behind are both passers-by, and being disturbed and laughed at by others is also my own fault."

"Dog thief, dog thief!"

Wu Youyi drew out his saber and slashed at the ground frantically, roaring in anger, the ground splashed with sand, and soon it was a mess, just like his frightened and angry mood at the moment.

Chapter 0272

In the Wu family's garden house in Longqingfang, a total of nearly 200 righteous and brave fighters broke in. After that, they performed their duties. More than [-] people, together with nearly a hundred slaves who were left behind by the Wu clan, were busy moving the warehouse full of goods.

Among these goods, the silk and the like are good to say, although they are large in quantity, they are light in weight. They are all being carried out one after another at this moment, and the furnishings are arranged around the garden, stacked to form a long and tall brocade wall. Take a closer look at the situation inside the garden house.

Money is the most touching thing, and there are many residents in the workshop, and they are all peeking out at the outside of their homes.Seeing this scene, they couldn't help being amazed, and some people even secretly became greedy, and either caused the slaves, or carried the scattered silk goods to their own yards by themselves.

For this behavior, the brave warriors did not stop it, and only swung their sticks to repel them when they were too daring to get too close to the garden.After realizing this, the discussion in the workshop inevitably became more enthusiastic, and more and more people joined in the looting.

Nearly half an hour after the warriors rushed into the garden, everyone around them also reacted.After all, Longqingfang is one of the most expensive places in the north of the city. The residents in the surrounding places are mostly rich and noble. Apart from guarding their homes, if they have spare energy, they will respond to the call of people like Fangzheng and send out house slaves and street gangsters to fight riot.

It was still late at night, and the field of vision was really limited. When these people arrived outside Longqingfang, they saw people in disorder in the workshop.

On the street inside the Chunming Gate, the number of thieves did not seem to be many, but each of them held a knife and straddled a horse, and they seemed to have an unusually fierce posture. And slowly back.

In Wu's garden house, the lights were bright, and there was a bustling and busy scene. Two brave warriors moved their arms vigorously, and moved the cages loaded with gold and silver objects onto the cart. Because the goods were too heavy, the frame was crushed. There was a creaking sound.

"Being born in poverty is beyond my wildest dreams. In this life, I still have the opportunity to complain about carrying goods!"

A young daredevil shook his sore arms, complained quite a bit, and by the way scolded the surrounding servants of the Wu family who looked sluggish and didn't work hard to speed up their movements.

A steward of the Wu family whose leg was chopped off was moaning outside the corridor. Hearing the thieves' complaints, he couldn't help yelling: "You poor thieves, do you know which noble family you offended? You can't escape! None of them can escape... There is life to grab goods, life to spend..."

The brave warriors ignored the cursing and just accelerated the transport. There are so many mansions in the garden, which makes people feel powerless like ants moving mountains.The order they accepted was to take as much as they could before dawn. They had never felt that time was so precious in their life, and an inch of time could no longer be compared to the price of gold.

In the process of carrying, they also sorted the goods by the way. Light goods such as silk forgings were thrown out of the garden to attract more and reward those who helped the villagers. Pearls and stones were used to attack Chunmingmen .As for heavy and heavy metals, they are all transported to the depths of the garden with the power of oxen and horses in the garden.

Compared with other districts in the north of the city, the biggest feature of Longqingfang is that there is a Longqing Pool in the center of the district. It was originally caused by an earthquake, and its scale has been expanding year by year.

The Dragon Head where the north of Chang’an City is located was originally dry and lacked water, and the people also loved the sweet spring springing from the ground. The government, including many dignitaries, also dug deep and expanded their operations, and built gardens around the pond to share this water vapor. Plenty of moisture.
