Zhuoying

The night is not over yet.

The bell outside was blown hurriedly by the wind, Zhou Pu sat alone, waiting for the tea to be cold, he didn't know what he was waiting for.The little soldier guarding the tent noticed that the lights were still on, so he leaned in respectfully and asked, "Master Zhou, is it the bell that is making noise?"

Zhou Pu said, "It doesn't matter, let it ring." The guard was young, looking at Seventeen or Eighteen, he respectfully wanted to retreat.Zhou Pu had good eyesight, and when he saw the flute pinned to his waist, he couldn't help being stunned, and asked slowly, "Your flute?"

The guard touched his waist, and smiled embarrassedly: "I did it on my own, and I haven't learned from others for long."

"Can you blow it?"

"Yes... just some farewell tunes." The guard hesitated: "Not happy."

"Can you play a song for me?" Zhou Pu looked at the flute, "I... haven't heard anyone play the flute for me for some years."

The guard lifted the curtain and came in, the curtain was leaking a lot, Zhou Pu didn't make a sound to tell people to tighten it.He listened to the overflowing sound of the flute hole, and he was playing the most famous "Three Bends" on the other side of the Jiangtang.He is familiar with this piece because someone has played it for him many times.Zhou Pu narrowed his eyes slightly, listening to the intertwined sound of the wind, the cheerfulness of the flute against the vastness of the wind, instead giving birth to loneliness and loneliness.

The sound of the flute jumps in the wind, and the snow falls in the lacquered night. Along the gap, a thin white layer gradually accumulates.

Zhong Xie was still awake, and he also listened to the sound of the flute, but he couldn't remember what it was.He never felt the pain of parting, even when he left home, he ran happily.

Strange uncomfortable.

He turned over, closed his eyes and wanted to sleep with the sound of his pillow.But tonight was strange, his chest was puffing, and he always felt that something was wrong, but what was wrong?He couldn't tell why.Bai Gu asked him to wait, but he couldn't hold back.

The snow is getting heavier.

When the sound of the flute stopped, the top of the tent was covered with snow.The flag fluttered, and everything was silent.The soldiers and horses approaching in the dark made no sound, and the soles of their shoes stepped on the wet mud, and people quickly approached the camp.

The arrows were set on fire, and one shot out suddenly, and nailed to Zhong Xie's tent.Immediately afterwards, thousands of arrows were fired, and the fire suddenly ignited.The sound of dense footsteps overlapped, and when Zhong Xie lifted the curtain, the head of the guard who was playing the flute just now fell to his feet.

"Qingpingdu commanded the deputy envoy Zhong Xie, delayed the military situation, fled in front of the battle, suspicious of foreign barbarians! Take it down!"

The man on the horse sat firmly, with the fire shining on his face, it was Luanchuan, Marquis of Changle.The snow on his shoulders had not been swept away, and he rushed all the way to support Changhe Valley without stopping.Looking at Zhong Xie now, he smiled coldly, "Don't come here, Zhong Ruchen."

"Absurd!" Zhong Xie was stunned, "Why did Qingping ask Wuhan for reinforcements! The crime is empty! We obey the order of His Highness King Pingding, you raided the camp, this crime should be punished!"

Marquis Changle swayed from his crotch, he raised his eyes to look at Zhong Xie's side, and said in a deep voice, "This Marquis came at Master Zhou's request, if not in time, I'm afraid you will be a disaster!"

The soldiers charged forward, Zhong Xie flicked his sleeves, furious: "Blood spurt!"

"Today's dispatch has arrived, but Zhong Ru and Chen ignored the military order." Zhou Pu looked at Zhong Xie: "This crime cannot be escaped."

"Pure View—"

Zhong Xie was held down and his mouth was blocked.His shock hadn't faded away, and it settled on Zhou Pu's face.Zhou Pu's expression was normal, and he turned his eyes away, as if he wanted to avoid those years of friendship.

Shi Yu's lips were warm and soft, and the melted snow water came in, and he subconsciously took it.When the water passed through his throat, he half-opened his eyes.The husband hugged half of his body on his knees, and knelt and watched over him all night.His shoulder was numb and the burning pain was repeated.The arrow from the bed crossbow was terrifying, Shi Yu selfishly thought that this arm might be useless.

Zhong You noticed that he was awake, and immediately touched his shoulder, and found that the bleeding had stopped well.But Zhong You was afraid of abscesses from the cold, so he just wanted to take Shi Yu to find someone immediately to warm up and clean the wound.

"Nothing." Shi Yu licked his slightly wet lips, bent the corners of his lips, and said hoarsely: "The wound is well bound."

Zhong You's face was haggard, and upon hearing the words, he brushed away the hair nestling around his neck, and said, "Your Highness will definitely send people to search along the river, there are doctors in the army..." Zhong You hugged him tightly, "Wait a little longer."

Shi Yu stuck to Zhong You's neck, and said weakly, "...It hurts so much."

Zhong You relaxed in a hurry, and blew lightly on his shoulder.Shi Yu lay on Mr. Lai's lap, and smiled again when he saw this, "This is impossible." He lightly pulled Zhong You's sleeve with his fingertips, "I don't want this." Zhong You pecked lightly on his forehead again, Shi Yu Se Laughing, "Come down again."

Zhong You's lips landed on his eyes, then on the tip of his nose, and finally tapped on his lips.Shi Yu's uninjured hand raised and pressed Zhong You's back neck, pressed him and kissed him again, so close at hand, and whispered, "It's over, your half-way plan is right." With deep eyes, "Even if there is a reason for it, it is definitely not your fault."

"I have guessed who it is now, but I still don't understand why he did this." Zhong You calmly said, "I thought it was the fourth brother, but who knows..." He said, "When Chunjing crossed the river pond three times, he It was to help me return to Beijing. Later, when I left Beijing, like Chen went south, he rode his horse to see him off every time.” Zhong You recalled, “When I was still in front of the teacher, I said that I wanted to join Zhongshu. Aspect. Eldest brother wants to take over Qingliu and restore integrity. Ruchen wants to go down to the local government and defend the capital. Each of us only cares about ourselves... Only Chunjing is willing to join the Inspectorate to supervise our positions. "

Later, Zhong Baiou left Beijing and returned to the countryside, Zhong Yuanwen struggled to write a book, and Zhong Ruchen was transferred to the Changhe Valley.Only Zhou Chunjing, who started as the seventh-rank supervisory censor of the Inspectorate, really walked up step by step as he swore back then, waiting for the three of them year after year.

But how did it become the situation today?

Zhong Xie didn't understand, neither did Zhong You.

Zhong Xie was imprisoned, but Zhong You has not been found yet.Marquis Changle failed to see King Pingding, and His Highness was still in Changhe Valley.He stood side by side with Zhou Pu, wrapping his cloak tightly in the snow.

"Although there is a previous relationship, if you urge me to deploy troops without authorization, I'm afraid it will arouse His Highness's suspicion."

"Loyalty can be learned from Lord Hou." Zhou Pu said lightly, "There are still remaining soldiers from the barbarians who went south, and Xu Hang's breakthrough was not blocked. Even if he won this time, there were not enough soldiers and horses when he went south, so we still have to mobilize soldiers from the Wuhan Mansion. Zhong... Zhong Xie cannot escape the death penalty this time, Qingping Army lost half of it, so they can only rely on Hou Ye's Wuhan Mansion soldiers."

"It's strange to say." Chang Lehou looked sideways, "Before Zhong Baiou's investigation of private goods, it was Mr. Zhou's advice that was able to deal with it. But you are close in Kyoto, but you have been friends for a long time."

Zhou Pu's eyebrows twitched when he heard this.He is elegant and gentle, and it is rare to show such distaste. He said, "I am an official and serve the emperor, and I am loyal to Da Lan. What I seek is stability. Zhong Baiou proposes to move the canal to shake Da Lan. Look, Lord Hou, isn't it just the turmoil of the country now? , Are foreign enemies spying on you? Such people cannot be kept."

How can Marquis Changle believe it?

He made up his mind to kill Zhong You immediately, and it was this person who communicated.Zhong You has already found out where the first batch of private goods in Jiangtang went, and he will soon be traced to him—it was he who originally received a batch of fish and herbs from Wuhan in the capital, and brought the smoked millet into Beijing to earn money privately. with a full heart.But right now the barbarians are being lured into the country. After the war, the emperor will never let go of Yansuliujing.Chang Lehou felt that once Zhong You caught him, he couldn't escape.It's better to strike first and take advantage of the chaos to kill Zhong You.Liu Qinghuan's grudge is still accumulated here, and this account is not a loss.

Chang Lehou didn't believe what Zhou Pu said, but he couldn't guess why he did it.But now that everyone is in the same boat, stability is the best policy, and he said, "I will reward you when you return to Beijing. Master Zhou is so loyal and loyal. I will definitely have a good word with the Holy One."

"No trouble." Zhou Pu asked back: "Did Hou Ye bring out all the soldiers?"

Chang Lehou smiled lightly: "Listen to Lord Zhou's words and bring them all out."

"Very good." Zhou Pu was stunned: "Such a major event has been accomplished...no one can stop it."

Marquis Changle realized that this "big event" did not necessarily mean that the barbarian soldiers would retreat, but he couldn't guess what it was.He didn't believe in Zhou Pu, so he didn't explain, he didn't bring out all Wuhan's soldiers, but left 2 people in Wuhan to wait for orders.At this time, everyone has their own needs, and if they do not act cautiously, they may become the next Zhong Xie.

But he never expected that the big event that Zhou Pu said would almost overturn Da Lan and ruin the country.

King Pingding didn't return that night, but led his troops straight down to Jiangtang, intending to sweep away the barbarians and push them clean.As Zhou Pu said, half of the Qingping army was defeated and the support was insufficient. Changlehou was immediately transferred to the south with King Pingding.This time he came here to participate in the war, and as long as he followed King Ping Ding without dying, he would be rewarded after the war as a marquis.

Marquis Changle left the camp with his front feet, and Zhong You returned with his rear feet.A doctor had been waiting for him for a long time, and Shi Yu's wound had been treated all night, and he had to lie down for half a month just to leave.When Zhong You was guarding, Zhou Pu had escorted Zhong Xie back to Beijing.Qingping was in turmoil, unable to deliver private messages, and it was almost a month before Zhong You's letter was delivered to the capital.

Zhong Xie has been imprisoned, the Zhong family in Jingdu has been confiscated, and even Zhong Ziming has been dismissed from office and sent to prison along with him.According to Zhou Pu's personal report, Zhong Xie delayed the military situation, refused to send troops, and even had a seal in the Dali Division on the case of secretly liaising with foreign barbarians.

At this time, Rong Yang arrived in Jingzhen.

It was mid-February, and Jingzhen was still cold with sleet.Rong Yang's ragged coat couldn't keep out the cold, and he got sores on his hands.All he has left is a tattered policy theory, which was hand-copied to him by the husband.Except for this book, he lost even his pen on the road.The person was as thin as a bone, and when he arrived at Jingzhen, he was immediately assigned to a work team. Before he had a rest, he was rushed to the fortification wall to lay bricks.

Rong Yang's eyesight is bad, the sky is often cloudy and he can't see the road clearly, stumbling and stumbling is common, and the scratches on his knees and palms are hardly healed.He couldn't lift the sand at first, but when the Jing army patrolled outside every day, they saw that he was young and helped him when he was fine.After a long time in the wall construction team, others help him to some extent, but they also like to tease him.

Rong Yang doesn't hold grudges, and occasionally gets candy from others, but also gives it to the children who play around every day.This group of mud radish heads always remember him, and every day when he gets off the wall, they will surround him.Rong Yang often tells stories to little devils, he can write and read letters for others.

It was cold and rainy that day, although it was small, it was cold.Rong Yang was shivering with the cold against the wall.

"Come here, uncle still has some hot water. You drink it quickly."

Rong Yang thanked him, and took a sip of the remaining warm water.Now they rested and listened to other people's gossip.

"Why didn't you see the patrol team come out today?" The uncle who was protecting Rong Yangshui blocked the rain with his hands, and leaned on the unfinished wall to look, "It's so cold that people will die."

"Then it's over." Someone was also trembling: "It's cold, the patrol team won't go out today."

"Alas." Someone folded their sleeves and rubbed their hands, "It's time to eat hot pot today. Once the chili oil is boiled, lamb, beef, whatever meat is fine! Rinse it down, and then dip it in the sauce from Xu Hang's shop—"

A group of people suddenly said "Ouch" in unison and cursed: "Damn you! Shut up, this stomach is hungry." After saying that, everyone laughed.

"Rong Yang." The uncle teased Rong Yang: "A few days ago Jing Jun taught, do you remember?"

"Remember." Rong Yang hugged the kettle and smiled, "If there is an enemy, just beat the drum on the other side, light a cigarette, and after dozens of beeps, the Jing army will come."

"These dozens of sounds, are they really dozens of sounds?" Someone laughed: "If it is too late, it will be a slap in the face."

"In time." The uncle squatted down, "If you want to talk about other places, I don't believe it. But if you want to talk about Jing Jun, you must have time. You see, we are building walls outside, and Jing Jun is not uncommon, right? If you are in Jiang Tang, I haven't seen the soldiers for half a year."

Rong Yang doesn't interrupt, he just listens.Today's rain is getting heavier, and there are ice balls in it.The foreman watched and decided to call it a day and return early.Everyone dispersed, and each packed his own place.Rong Yang put books under the wall, afraid of getting wet, so he went to get them now.He took the book, and something flashed in the rain.He couldn't see clearly, he just felt that he was folded by the light.

"Uncle Liu." Rong Yang raised his hand to block the rain, "Is there something outside?"

The uncle came over and leaned over to look out, "I didn't see anything..." He paused slightly, "Why does it look like—"

An arrow suddenly nailed to the forehead!

Rong Yang watched the figure roll down the wall, he retreated abruptly, and shouted, "Enemy attack!"

When the rain hit the ice, Rong Yang turned around and shouted: "Drumming!"

The rain of arrows swarmed, Rong Yang was dragged and rolled behind the wall, and countless arrows "whoosh" shot past his head.Those who hadn't responded on the wall were bound into a beehive, and there was a lot of panic. Rong Yang heard the sound of heavy armor running.He held his head and looked through the gap on the top of the wall. The rain was blurred, and he could only vaguely see the blackness, which was approaching quickly.

"Run down the wall!" The foreman rolled and crawled down, shaking his voice, "Dayuan is calling!"

Rong Yang hugged her head, squeezed against the wall and trembled.There were people pushing and shoving him, but he was so frightened that he was about to cry, but he didn't get up and run.He rubbed his eyes vigorously with his palms, and tremblingly said, "No, no! Drumming, go drumming!"

The drum must be sounded to warn the Jingjun!

Rong Yang crawled towards the drum at the east end, Ling Jian rubbed his scalp and passed, he bowed his head and rested in shock.The sound of heavy armor was getting closer, and Rong Yang crawled over the unrecognizable corpse to the edge of the drum.

The pounding of the drums startled the heavy rain!

Rong Yang smashed it more than a dozen times, and some of Da Yuan's soldiers shot here fiercely.He hid behind the wall and began to flee downward.The steps were wet and slippery, Rong Yang rolled down from the top and fell to the muddy ground, he got up and ran.

This is a new construction wall just a mile away from the commercial site, and it is going to be a watchtower.The rain was too heavy, Rong Yang gave up lighting a cigarette and could only run stumbling on the muddy ground.

The heavy-armored attack at the back may not be as fast as the light cavalry, but it is more than enough to chase people.Rong Yang could already hear the shouting and cursing from the Dayuan soldiers behind him, he fell into the mud pit under his feet.

"Three...three two..."

Rong Yang counted down, and the Jingjun came after the agreed ten times.After counting them all, Rong Yang closed his eyes in despair and shouted: "The barbarian invasion——!"

The blade from the back cut off the back of his neck!

Unexpectedly, the sound of the horse's hooves was loud, a silver gun pierced through the heavy rain, and the nail was inserted straight into the mud behind Rong Yang, the gun barrel blocked the knife!

"I've been waiting for a long time!"

The light rider galloped forward, and the man who was throwing the gun for the first time drew his long knife behind him and rushed forward suddenly.Afterwards, the sound of the Jing army drawing their swords was uniform, and the horse galloped straight at the right time.

Rong Yang propped himself up and looked forward, he heard a sound so familiar.The horseshoes splashed mud in the cold rain, and he gradually saw who was coming.

Behind him, Wu Yu watched with eagle eyes on his horse, whistled, and said to Xie Jingsheng who was beside him, "This Pu Cheng, it's like he hasn't played wild in hundreds of years. It's the first time he rushed like this, it's going to kill him."

"He knows he's afraid after being stabbed twice." Xie Jingsheng touched it, "Damn it - he threw the 'nameless' gun?!"

That is the precious gun of the third son of King Yan!

Wu Yu shrugged, rode his horse and ran away, muttering: "It's none of my business, it was given to him by Meng Chen..."
