Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Lingzhou City was in chaos, with people running away and fleeing everywhere, as if the end of the world was coming.

The soldiers who entered the city also kept rushing in and out of the streets and alleys, trying to make the city residents more dispersed and disorganized, so that they could not unite to resist, and the chaos would be irreversible.

As the chaos expanded and intensified, even the defenders in the state capital were unable to protect them. They escorted the noble family members in the mansion to evacuate and break out, quickly heading towards the city gate, causing the city's defense system to completely collapse.

However, in the midst of this chaos, a high-walled mansion half a street away from the state capital remained unmoved by the chaos outside. The door of the house was closed tightly, and there were strong soldiers with guns and bows on the wall to scare away the many people who came here. The fleeing people were like a solid rock standing in the turbulent current.

At first, under the cover of various chaotic scenes, the existence of this mansion did not attract anyone's attention. However, as the chaos spread out from various city gates, the mansion, which had never been overwhelmed by the chaos, gradually began to appear. highlighted.

"Who lives in the house? Open the door quickly..."

A small team of people discovered this house while chasing the rioters. They rushed in with a knife, but as soon as they reached the door of the house, powerful arrows were shot out from inside. Two soldiers were caught off guard and fell to death from the arrows.

The other soldiers retreated in shock when they saw this, but before they could go far and call their companions, the closed door of the house opened, and dozens of well-armed and strong soldiers rushed out, attacking these soldiers with swords like wolves and tigers. The soldiers came to kill them.

The fighting here quickly attracted more soldiers to rush in. Seeing that the enemy was outnumbered, the warriors who rushed out of the house had to fight and retreat. After killing several people in succession, they returned to the house.

Seeing this, these soldiers refused to give up. They marched all the way into the city with overwhelming force. They were invincible. However, they did not want to be defeated in front of this house. Several soldiers were killed by these warriors who protected the house. If they did not pay with blood, It’s really hard to pay with blood to relieve the hatred in your heart!

So the soldiers rushed straight to the gate of the house, and the guards in the house were not willing to sit back and wait for death. They called on their companions to fight back. Hundreds of them fought back bravely, and in a moment they killed the soldiers who entered the house. They were killed and exited, and the gate of the mansion was firmly guarded.

The opponent's brave counterattack made these soldiers not only surprised but also filled with anticipation. The armed level and combat effectiveness of these servants and guards far exceeded the level of the defending army, and they were all in the city lord's palace. Even though the building was empty, he still defended the house here without fear of death. Even the dullest person could imagine that there must be unusual personnel in the house.

So these soldiers stopped trying to invade the house. They formed a formation in front of the house while calling for more comrades to come here and surrounded the house.

Soon nearly half of the soldiers in the city gathered outside the gate of the mansion. Gao Le, who originally led his team to sweep elsewhere, saw so many people gathered here and couldn't help but feel curious, so he pushed aside the crowd and walked inside. And curiously asked: "What happened? Why are everyone gathered here?"

When he saw the guards stationed in front of the house, his brows suddenly raised, he took the Changshan from his subordinates and said loudly: "Such a large city has been captured, let alone a mere private house! Follow me and charge in!"

As he spoke, he stabbed forward with the long sword in his hand, and his strong body moved forward like a swimming dragon, and soon he was fighting with the guards in front of the door.

With Gao Le, the fierce general, rushing forward and the other soldiers following behind, they finally charged into the house again this time and successfully gained a foothold.

The servants and guards who were killed were retreating steadily, but they still had a tenacious fighting spirit and refused to give up resistance. The flesh and blood corpses were thrown all the way from the door of the house until they passed the front hall door. The remaining ten people could hardly form a formation. Only then did they finally He surrendered, but when he was interrogated about who was left in the house, he still shook his head and said nothing.

After everyone saw this, they couldn't help but become more curious. Gao Le, who was leading the way, had already strode into the inner garden and walked around, grabbing a few servants and maids who were running in panic and asking them questions.

Gao Le soon withdrew from the inner house. Facing the curious inquiries of the soldiers, he just shook his head and said nothing. He solemnly ordered a group of soldiers to stay here and not allow anyone to enter or exit without permission. He also repeatedly warned not to enter or exit without permission. He entered and disturbed the people in the house, and then strode away from the place. When he got outside the house, he got on his horse and headed straight for Li Tai's whereabouts.

At this time, Li Tai had already entered the state capital under the guard of his own soldiers, and briefly looked through the books and documents seized in the state capital. When he saw the savings and income and expenditure of this Lingzhou person, he couldn't help but sigh, no wonder Cao Cao Ni Liufeng and the others would rather give up their hometown in Lingzhou and join the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Even if this Lingzhou city is just a foreign-owned city with no real land, its annual revenue and expenditure surplus is comparable to that of a large county in Kansai. This is a much harder life than staying in Kansai and suffering from being guarded and ostracized everywhere. Much more moisturizing.

He was just waiting to go and check the warehouses in the city in person, but Gao Le walked up outside the hall and whispered a few words in Li Tai's ear.

After hearing this, Li Tai's eyes widened immediately, he looked at Gao Le and said in surprise: "Is it true? Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

"I heard that from those slaves, how can I recognize this..."

Gao Le shook his head after hearing this, and then said: "I have ordered that place to be sealed tightly until Kaifu goes to inspect it."

Li Tai did not bother to check the warehouse anymore, and only handed over the accounting books and everything to Zhu Meng. He walked out of the state capital in three steps and two steps at a time, and led Gao Le straight to the place that had just been captured. Go to a big house.

After entering the house, Li Tai ordered his subordinates to introduce the captured guards and slaves into the front hall. Holding a knife in one hand, he asked in a deep voice: "The person living in the inner house here is really the former Princess Changguang? You thieves?" Please be careful in your answers, if you dare to say anything false, you will die without a trace of your body!"

"You, slaves, don't dare to lie. This is indeed the residence of Mrs. Xiao Erzhu, and she is still in the inner hall..."

Several guards were still talking harshly, but the frightened slaves did not dare to hide it and hurriedly kowtowed and answered.

Li Tai felt happy when he heard this, but he still said in a deep voice: "In that case, why doesn't Madam live in the inner palace of Jinyang instead of living in Lingzhou City?"

"Yes, it's because, because my wife lived carelessly in the past year, she had a quarrel with Prince Gao's brother, Duke Zhao of the South, so she was expelled from Lingzhou..."

Several slaves were busy answering carefully and did not dare to hesitate at all.

When Li Tai heard this, he was basically sure that the person living in this house was the former Empress of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Erzhu Zhao's daughter, and was later adopted as a concubine by Gao Huan. Otherwise, these slaves would not dare to take the little Erzhu. Erzhu's affair with his brother-in-law was all fabricated.

Li Tai was in such a happy mood at the moment. He really didn't expect that since he had received unexpected surprises one after another during his trip to Jinyang, he would actually catch a big fish in Lingzhou City!

Although Xiaoerzhu has nothing to do with military affairs, his status is here and he cannot take it lightly. Just thinking about it gives people an inexplicable and almost forbidden pleasure.

After thinking about it, he felt that he still had to meet his sister-in-law in person. I, Li Boshan, have not eaten dumplings for many years since I came to this world!

He stood up and ordered several trembling slaves to lead the way in front, while he followed behind under the obedience of his soldiers. When he arrived at the back hall, he let the few slaves go in first to report, while he stood outside the hall. He shouted loudly: "The last general, Li Boshan, was ordered by Yuwen Daxingtai to cross the river and enter the state to attack the rebels. I passed by your residence without any intention of offending. I sincerely ask the princess to give me a table to see you."

His so-called princess is naturally Xiaoerzhu's ex-husband, the puppet emperor Changguang who was established and then abandoned by Erzhu. If the relationship was only at Gao Huan's level, even though they were good brothers who had never met, they would only take one shot at the sister-in-law and not be polite.

While waiting for a response, Li Tai also took a look at the layout of the inner hall of the mansion. He couldn't help but sigh that although this little Erzhu was disliked for wearing a cuckold to the big brother, he still received preferential treatment in daily life. .

Apart from anything else, the men of the Gao family are very good at breaking shoes, they are not afraid of meat and vegetables, and they are also very tolerant. I have finally figured out how to play the game of betrayal, a tortoise and a cow, both offensive and defensive.

After a while, there was a response from the hall. Two maids came out and respectfully invited Li Tai to come in.

Li Taikuo walked into the hall and looked up to see a screen blocking the way between him and the main seat. He didn't take it seriously, but bowed again and said: "There is a military reminder, and the general's troops will be leaving soon to return." Master. It may be undesirable that the princess is trapped in captivity. If you are willing to return to the country and regain your innocence, please pack your bags as soon as possible. The general will protect the princess and return her safely. "

The implication is that if you don't follow me and are still here ruining the face and honor of our great Wei clan, then I'm going to fuck you!

There was no reply for a long time after he finished saying this. He couldn't help but look up at where the screen was. He vaguely felt that another pair of eyes were looking at him from behind the screen, so he quickly lowered his head again.

"General Li is very polite. Why are you so rude? Take down the screen so that I can see the general without any hindrance."

A slightly hoarse and dry voice, but also somewhat sultry, sounded, and soon a maid hurriedly stepped forward to remove the screen.

Li Tai subconsciously looked up and saw a young woman wearing a plain dress sitting in the banquet.

Xiaoerzhu sounds like a person from the previous era, but in fact she is only in her twenties. Her face is as white as paper, and her facial features are three-dimensional and beautiful. Year-round life in confinement has made her look a little haggard and thin. It gives people a sense of frailty and pity, which can stimulate men's possessiveness and protective desire.

Of course Li Tai is also a man, but even though he teases Big Brother a lot every day, he still respects him very much in his heart and doesn't have any distracting thoughts about it. He just laments that the two brothers of the Gao family can get into trouble. This little guy The Zhu family didn't just rely on the immoral love between the long-term worker and the young lady.

The little Er Zhu looked at Li Tai without concealing it for a few times, then pursed his lips and said softly: "The general is so knowledgeable about etiquette, and so handsome, with a graceful demeanor and picturesque features. He must not be a son-in-law of the town, right? In troubled times In the story, a heroic man who can help the world like a general is the backbone of the family and the country. When a concubine is in the world, she will be like a green vine if she has no roots, and she will be a duckweed if she has no roots. It is a great blessing to have the general's attention. How dare you not cling to her for help... …”
