Deep in the bamboo forest is my home

"The sun is out." He Xiaohu raised his head and muttered to himself.

The teenagers jumped out of the barrier, raised their weapons, and ran to Xiaohu and cheered loudly. "The sun is out, and the barbarians are back!"

The liveliness in the city continued to the city wall in an instant, and the soldiers who were fighting in blood suddenly heard the bursts of cheers behind them, dazed, and realized that the sun had already revealed half of his face.

Liang Qi raised his spear, "Brothers, drive the barbarians back!"

After fighting all night, both the Hu people and the soldiers of Anhua City were exhausted. At this time, whichever side can persevere will win.

The Hu people managed to break through Liang Qi's blockade, and two people broke in. They were cheering loudly, "The southern city wall has been breached." Take a long time.The morale that the barbarians had managed to cheer up immediately dissipated completely. Those who were under the city wall hesitated to climb the ladder, and those who had already climbed up were evasive and wanted to climb down secretly.

When the Hu people were in chaos, Liang Qi took the opportunity to boost morale, and led the remaining soldiers at the top of the city to raise their weapons and counterattack.Those with weapons raised their weapons and slashed; those without weapons grabbed the weapons from the barbarians, pushed and kicked them, and kicked the panicked barbarians off the city wall one by one.

The leader of the Hu people in the distance saw that the situation was over, so he had to blow the horn and order to withdraw the troops.The melodious sound of the horn is like a sad song, ending a night of tragic battle.The Hu people left thousands of corpses in a hurry, turned over and jumped off the city wall, and fled in embarrassment.

On the city wall, when Anhua's soldiers saw the Hu people retreating, they froze for a moment, lowered their weapons, and let the Hu people retreat blankly.With the arrival of victory, people don't know how to react.I don't know who was the first to wake up, and shouted loudly, "The barbarian ran away! The barbarian ran away!"

On the city wall, there was cheers in the city.On the city wall, a soldier raised a stone and threw it down the city, and a soldier rushed to the edge of the city, pushing down the ladder...

When the sun slowly jumped out of the clouds, the light spread to the earth.The Hu people retreated dozens of miles before setting up camp.The gate of Anhua City was opened wide, and soldiers poured out to clear the battlefield.Liang Qi stood on the high city wall, looking down at the earth.

"Victorious?" He Xiaohu walked slowly behind Liang Qi, looking at the vast land side by side.

"Yeah." Even though he was tired, Liang Qi still held on, and stared at everything under the city with his eyes wide open.

Instead, He Xiaohu looked into the distance, "After the battle last night, the barbarians who besieged Anhua might not be able to attack again unless..."

"Unless something! Come one, kill one, come a pair, kill a pair." With a hoarse voice, Liang Qi, covered in blood, was like a god of war, with a murderous aura.

He Xiaohu didn't answer, his eyes looking into the distance were filled with worry.If the barbarian does not attack, it means giving up, and it also means changing the strategy.

Behind Anhua is the North Camp. Anhua was trapped for several days. Except that Liang Qi and others led troops to rescue at the beginning, after more than ten days, there was no movement in the North Camp. Rest assured that Liang Qi and others can alleviate Anhua's danger. ?Or is it difficult for Peking University to protect itself?

If Beidaying itself cannot be defended, can the Fucheng Town behind it be able to defend it?If not?Anhua can only be an isolated city, trapped in the Hu army, and it is only a matter of time before it falls.

The soldiers under the city gathered the barbarian entity, and the surviving barbarian directly stabbed the throat.The corpse was built high, Liang Qi drew his strong bow, and the rocket pierced the sky and hit the target accurately. In an instant, the flames raged and devoured the expeditionary barbarians.

Weapons, bows and arrows, and stones were collected again, ladders were cut and sent into the city to serve as firewood, and horse corpses were cut off in pieces to serve as meat for soldiers.

After the fierce battle, Anhua City was busy inside and outside the city.Wounded soldiers need medical treatment, dead soldiers need to be buried, and news about the North Camp outside the city needs to be inquired about.

Liang got up as a general leading the army, and he could sleep right away after explaining the work to his subordinates.Poor He Xiaohu had to assist the county magistrate to clean up the streets, reinstall the door panels for the merchants, and had to take back the weapons that had been issued.He was busy until dusk, Liang Qi woke up, walked out of the house, and saw He Xiaohu walking around.

"You have too many things to do!" Liang Qi grabbed He Xiaohu and dragged him to his resting room without saying a word.

Fighting for strength and martial arts, how could He Xiaohu be Liang Qi's opponent, He Xiaohu didn't struggle at the moment, and was dragged back to the room by Liang Qi under the surprised eyes of all the small officials.

However, Liang Qi not only dragged people with his hands, but also said before closing the door, "You lie down on the bed!"

The eyes of the little official outside the door are not only surprised, but also weird!

The guards around Liang Qi let out a haha, trying to ease the atmosphere, "General Liang and Mr. He have a very good relationship!"

All the small officials looked at the guards together, this time it was no longer weird, but "You said it earlier!".Someone even lowered their voices and asked, "It turns out that General Liang and Master He want to emulate Prince Dang Chaoyue and General Wuwei. Then which one of them is going to ask God to bless them?"

The guard shuddered, facing the little official's seeking knowledge, and facing the fierce Hu Renyong who was brave and fearless on the city wall, he ran away in fright.God, what did I say!What did you say!Don't let Mr. He and the general know!The little guard was thinking sadly while running.

Liang Qi and He Xiaohu naturally didn't know about this scene, they only knew that the next morning, when they came out of the room together, there seemed to be something extra in the eyes of their colleagues.What it is, I can't tell, it's just weird.

The Hu people retreated, and Anhua City was temporarily saved.Liang Qi sent soldiers to Beidaying and Fucheng to inform.After waiting for a day and a night, the soldiers sent to the North Camp did not come back, and the soldiers sent to the town came back covered in blood, rolled off the saddle, said only one sentence, "The barbarians surrounded the town," and fell to the ground.

There was silence in the camp, the barbarians surrounded the town, and there was no news from the North Camp.What does this mean? It means that the Beidaying camp was either besieged like Anhua, or it had already been captured by the barbarians in one fell swoop.Anhua has no way out, except to stick to it, he can only stick to it.

The news was delivered to the county government, Huang Yun was silent for a long time, and ordered the officials present to block the news.At the same time, officials were dispatched to re-count various civilian materials in Anhua City.

It was night, Liang Qi and He Xiaohu were walking in Anhua City, both of them were silent.The direction of the battle is depressing. Anhua is still a flat boat in the wind and waves, and may be submerged by the wind and waves at any time.

"You said, can we survive?" Liang Qi is not afraid of fighting, not afraid of charging, but he is afraid of being bound in a small city, because of lack of material, he will be slowly grinded to death by barbarians with soft knives.

"Yes, why not!" Instead, He Xiaohu lost his previous worries, and the direction of Anhua City depended on Fucheng Town.Clearing the situation made He Xiaohu heave a sigh of relief. "I'm going back to attend Xiao Hua's wedding, and Xiao Si, that kid still doesn't know if he remembers me. And Ah, Dad, they are waiting for me to ask for a husband to go back so that I can have a grandson."

"He Xiaohu, you said that if you and I survived that night, the past will be erased. But I remember that you still owe me a beating." Touching his nose and face, He Xiaohu didn't hold back , punched and punched to death.

"Then hit me back." He Xiaohu laughed and said, "But now is an extraordinary period. If you hit me now, Master Huang will tie you up, beat you ten times with the killing stick, and reprimand you for disturbing the law and order." "

"Then I won't be able to fight!" Liang Qi was very unwilling.

"Live well, go back to Nanhe Village, I will hit you, and I will never fight back!"

Liang Qi looked at Xiao Hu, under the moonlight, a hazy halo appeared on Xiao Hu's face, Liang Qi suddenly discovered that Xiao Hu looked somewhat similar to Xiao Hua, only two parts less soft and two points more bright.

Liang Qi hurriedly moved his eyes away, not daring to look again, "Well, it's agreed. I will never fight back."

"Well, don't fight back!"

"Tell me, what kind of person is that Mu Sheng?"

"Mu Sheng..."

"Just such a person, why does Xiaohua fall in love with him? What's wrong with me, at least Xiaohua will marry me, and she will be an official soon..."

The figures of the two gradually elongated and merged together.

Anhua city does not know foreign affairs.Xiaohua, who was far away in Nanhe Village, was anxiously waiting for news from the north. On the night of the New Year's Eve, Mu Sheng rushed back to Nanhe Village from Qingzhou, and told Boss He and Yang Yan'er about the arrangement of He Xiaozhu and others.

Boss He nodded, and the family ate the New Year's Eve dinner quietly.Without Xiao Min and Xiao Si's fuss, without Xiao Hu's joking and joking, the main room was quiet, only the firewood burning, and the slight crackling sound, telling the passage of time.

Before midnight, Yang Yan'er had already leaned on Boss He's shoulder and closed her eyes.Boss He waved his hand, signaling to the two of them to keep quiet, picked up Fulang himself, and walked slowly back to the backyard.

Only Xiao Hua and Mu Sheng were left in the main room.

"Xiaohua, the big boat is waiting at the mouth of the Minjiang River. Follow me to Gyeongju." Mu Sheng looked at the burning firewood and calmly asked, "Ama and Dad, I will find a way to invite you to the courtyard on Zhushan live, there are guards there, and if something happens, they will be fully protected. Zhushan is small and can't hide people, but it takes only a stick of incense to rush from Zhushan to Baisha Village. I ordered people to park a small boat and wait When Ahma and Dad arrive, they will leave immediately. As long as they enter the Minjiang River, everything will be fine. Taking a step back, even if Ahma and Dad are unwilling to leave, the cellar in the Zhushan courtyard is better than the one you dug out temporarily. And there are guards, although It cannot be guaranteed that it will be safe, and it can be temporarily preserved."

Xiao Hua didn't answer, but just watched the fire quietly.

"Xiao Hua, I know you don't want to part with Ah Mo and Dad, but..."

"I know, I will go to Gyeongju with you. If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. I understand the truth."

Mu Sheng frowned. I haven't heard what Xiao Hua said, but it sounds like it means to preserve strength. "Then let's set off on the fifth day of the new year?" Mu Sheng hoped to leave immediately, but now it's New Year's Eve, even if Xiao Hua is willing, Boss He and Yang Yan'er will feel uncomfortable.One more day of company is one day, and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to accompany him in the future.

"What news did you hear?" Xiao Hua asked without answering.

Mu Sheng hesitated for a moment, but answered truthfully.During this incident, Xiao Hua showed a calmness and rationality that is different from that of ordinary brothers, and she will stop when she stops.He knows how to persuade his family to leave, he knows how to dig a cellar to escape the flames of war, he knows how to prepare money and food to tide him over... If he tells Xiao Hua the news, he should be able to survive.

"Bei Daying has been breached by the barbarians. Fucheng has been besieged for more than five days, and the news in the city cannot be conveyed. However, according to reports from the spies, the barbarians are attacking the city day and night. I am afraid that the town will not last long."

"The people in the imperial city let the barbarians attack the city?" Xiao Hua asked sharply.

"The soldiers and horses from all walks of life who have recovered have rushed to the imperial city. However, a minister in the court proposed a peace to relieve the danger of the town. The court is now war or peace, and the debate is uncertain. No one ordered the Ministry of War to send troops to rescue. "

"Who said they want to negotiate a peace? Don't they know that they have to look forward to Shu?"

Mu Sheng was silent for a while, and smiled bitterly, "The Mu family climbed up to the Gu family of the imperial merchant. After my father and Ah Mo reconciled, they begged for the younger brother of the Gu family. There are two branches of the Gu family, and the main branch is the current prince and husband. The side branch of Lang's father's family is the most powerful imperial merchant in the dynasty. The peace negotiation was proposed by the Gu family."

"Just because you want to please the Gu family, so..." So you were expelled from the Mu family, even the eldest son and grandson of the Mu family.

"It's impossible for the little brother of the Gu family to be a child, and he doesn't want to be behind me. The Mu family is not my father's decision. There are some things that he can't do."

"These years, Ah can settle down in Nanhe Village, and my business is going smoothly..." Dad really helped me a lot.He lowered his head and thought of the letter secretly sent by his father, and remembered that the little brother of the Gu family had nothing to do after he started, Mu Sheng felt a pang of joy in his heart. Grandpa had a good plan, but it was not God's will.

"Tell me, what's the benefit of the peace talks to the Gu family?" Xiao Hua suddenly asked a question.

Mu Sheng's heart froze, what good would the peace talks do for the Gu family?If the emperor succeeds in getting the emperor to agree to the peace negotiation, the Gu family will be the great contributors. The peace negotiation must use material appeasement to please the barbarians, and the Gu family's offshoots can take the opportunity to make a fortune.It is not an exaggeration to say that the entire Gu family is the icing on the cake.

"Don't think too much about these things. The matters in the court are judged by the emperor. You and I can only focus on our eyes."

Xiaohua was silent.This is indeed the case, what's the use of filling up your own atmosphere.

New Year's Eve slipped away in the silence of the two.After the sparse sound of firecrackers, Yang Yan'er pulled Xiao Hua to her side, let her hair loose, tied her hair up, and fixed it with hair pins, leaving only a thin layer of hair scattered behind her head.

"Xiaohua is fifteen this year. Back then you were such a small one." Yang Yan'er gestured with both hands, with tears in her eyes, "In a blink of an eye, Xiaohua will get married."

"When Xiaohua is married, she belongs to someone else's family. You have to be obedient and filial. Serve your husband, don't be self-willed and rude." Yang Yan'er chattered, hugging Xiaohua and not letting go.

Boss He stretched out his hand to pull Yang Yan'er away, "Look at what you said. If Xiao Hua gets married, she won't be your brother? Ah Cheng is here, don't make people laugh."

"My brother, can't I hug him twice more? I don't know if I will have this chance in the future."

"Ah, let's go to Qingzhou together." Xiaohua hugged Yang Yan'er with her backhand. Yang Yan'er was not willing to part with him, and he was also unwilling to leave Yang Yan'er. He gave birth to and raised him, but he has not repaid him yet, but he wants to leave and avoid the south.

"You silly boy, Ah is leaving, what will your second brother do when he comes back?"
