Minister

Chapter 9

9【Six Years of Jiankang】

Chenshi, attack the city! ! ! !

The vanguard troops have already been deployed in the formation of geese, the flags are flying, and the swords are shining!Behind the forward position is the Chinese army deployed in three parts, and among the Chinese army is General Wang's earthen platform.The earth platform is actually a ten-meter-high earth slope, which was temporarily piled up by engineers and soldiers. Most of the senior generals rode horses and lined up neatly on it.Wei Chi rode a leopard and stood beside Geng Zhuqiu, while Tang He had already been sent to the front.Counting it, he hadn't closed his eyes for two days, but Wei Chi had no intention of dozing off after being blown by the bitter morning wind.There was an eerie dead silence on the battlefield, and Wang Yunyi didn't say a word.how to spell?Who will fight?Wei Chi suddenly realized that he knew nothing...

The earthen platform is very high, you can overlook the enemy's tower from the top, and you can overlook the entire battlefield from the bottom.Contrary to the battlefield, the people on the city tower were commotioning, and from time to time they would shoot cold arrows out.Which gourd medicine is this sold?Wei Chi continued to have a headache.

Finally, a shell hit the sky, and the loud bang ended the silence of the battlefield. A small group of cavalry marched towards the center of the battlefield under the leadership of Xue Yi.Seeing Xue Yi's cavalry, the people on the tower became quiet, and they didn't let go of cold arrows, because they found that the one walking in the front of the team was their princess... Wei Chi secretly straightened his waist, and the little She was tied up, and her white clothes stood out against a group of black cavalrymen. It seemed that she was going to be returned to the prisoners of war...

Just when Wei Chi wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly remembered Wang Yunyi's words in the morning: "Today, attack the city!" Siege the city!Wei Chi shivered, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

The people on the tower were even more nervous and unbearable. Gu Yuan Magui hadn't been able to sleep for two days. Facing the greedy Qi army, he really couldn't think of any way to rescue his beloved daughter.surrender?In the face of the shameless and arrogant envoy of the Qi army, Gu Yuan Magui did not dare to show his power, and had to be sent back to others after serving him a delicious meal.You bastard, before he could take a breath, he came to attack the city!

The eldest son and the younger son are all rushing to fight to the death, but it would be great if they could fight to the death!I'm afraid that Qi Jun will be furious... Hey, what should I do?Gu Yuanmaji hesitated, and Guyuanmaji's cronies and generals were also extremely anxious.At this time, only one person is calm, and that is the city governor of Guyuan Magui—Dadan.His eyes fell on the group of black soldiers and their terrifying equipment on the battlefield.It is not difficult to defend Xilin Gol by relying on the dangers of the city, but if you send troops rashly... I am afraid...

In the past two days, except for Dadan's desperate dissuasion, almost everyone wants to go out of the city to fight. The reason is very simple. The absurd conditions of the Qi army are unacceptable, and in the city, there is one of the most sophisticated grassland three cavalry - the Black Wind Army , even if the Qi army is under pressure, so what?

Guyuan Maji has been anxious to the limit, to fight or not to fight?How to fight?

Just when he was in a state of desperation, an exploding shell interrupted his train of thought!

A small group of cavalry escorted his daughter and appeared on the battlefield. The people on the tower suddenly fell silent. Could it be that...?

impossible!A cold sweat broke out from Gu Yuanma's vest.

The cavalry walking in the front row got off their horses not far from the city tower and began to dig a hole in the ground. After a while, a big hole with a width of two meters was dug.

pit?Wei Chi leaned forward, thinking secretly...

pit!Gu Yuan Magui felt his eyes darken, and couldn't help but clenched his fists...

Xue Yi looked coldly at this prisoner who was almost a child, she lowered her head slightly, and said nothing, even when the soldiers dragged her off her horse, she did not resist at all.

"Push!" Xue Yi waved his hand.

The little girl didn't struggle, but turned her head stubbornly, her eyes were wandering, looking for someone in the Qi army, but she couldn't find it, she couldn't find it in the dark crowd...

"Push!" Xue Yi roared impatiently, and the soldier did not dare to neglect after obeying the order, grabbed the little princess's hair and pushed it into the pit.

"Ah!!!!!!" The little princess finally howled, but her cry was so weak that it was drowned out by the wind on the grassland in a blink of an eye, and her struggle was so powerless, she couldn't resist these rough soldiers.

Standing on the tower, Guyuan Magui almost fainted. He watched his daughter being pushed into the pit with his own eyes. Her crying seemed like a steel needle, piercing his heart one by one.

Shovel after shovelful of black soil was filled into the pit.

Buried alive! ! !

Wei Chi held the reins tightly so that he didn't fall off the horse. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly... he was going to be buried alive, buried alive... Although he was far away, Wei Chi felt that the desperate cry seemed to be right next to his ears. One by one, the seeds in the depths of her memory were stimulated, and then these seeds wanted to break out of the ground one after another, displaying those past events that he would never want to think of again before his eyes one by one.

The soil was quickly filled up, before Guyuan Magui passed out.

That piece of land turned back into an ordinary small mound, and everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened. Xue Yi rode his horse and stood on the small mound, turning back and forth twice, Contemptuously, he shot an arrow at the banner on the tower.

boom!The arrow neatly left a big hole in the flag.

"Ah!!" Guyuan Magui was angry, a kind of anger that was extremely sad! : "Archery, shoot that son of a bitch!"

Immediately, thousands of arrows were fired from the city tower.But it was too late, Xue Yi had already calmly retreated from the battlefield with his cavalry.

"Mighty!! Mighty!!" The soldiers of the Qi army shouted in unison to welcome General Xue's return.

Seeing Guyuan Magui's reaction, Wang Yunyi smiled slightly: "Throwing team, line up, attack! The other departments are in the rear!"

The throwing team threw stones with gunpowder and iron blocks on the tower from all directions, and the people on the tower counterattacked with bows and arrows.However, because the distance between the two armies was too far, it failed to produce any practical effect.

The attack continued until Youshi, but the people in the city still couldn't hold out. Wang Yunyi glanced at the slowly setting sun and said to Xue Yi in a low voice: "Every squadron returns to the camp, and the throwing team can throw for another hour."

Xue Yi nodded: "Officer Du has already made arrangements and is ready to respond at any time!"

At night, the grassland becomes cloudy and cold, the sky is cloudy and cloudy, and the moon appears and disappears from time to time.There were only two people sitting in Wang Yunyi's big tent, one was Wei Chi, and the other was Xu Yue, Wang Yunyi's first-class staff officer.After all, Wei Chi was still a civil servant, and Wang Yunyi didn't dare to entrust him with important tasks. Xu Yue used to work as an errand in Honghe Temple, and was proficient in the folk customs and geography of Monan, and he could also speak fluent Monan language. Joining the army followed Wang Yunyi, and he was considered an old subordinate. He was very busy before and after the battle, but when he really wanted to fight, he was idle.The two idlers went about their work, asking questions from time to time.People with civil servant backgrounds have such a preference, like to talk about scientific examinations, like to talk about Jinshi, and even more like to talk about Imperial Academy.According to the rules of civil servants, although Wei Chi is a Tanhua, if he meets Xu Yue, a Jinshi who has been in Hongwu for 23 years, he has to be respected as a senior.An old-timer and a new elite, chatting with one another and another.Xu Yue has always been suspicious of Wei Chi's origin.In his eyes, being an auspicious scholar in the Hanlin Academy is definitely better than coming to the desert to enjoy the cold wind, not to mention that the auspicious scholar may enter the cabinet someday in the future, just the two-year round of promotion, Twenty years later, it would definitely not be a problem to become a second-rank official, and there was absolutely no point in coming here with your head up to play with your life.Xu Yue didn't believe that Wei Chi didn't have any instigation behind the scenes.Although that King Yan was absurd, he didn't really dare to take action against the imperial court officials. Even if King Yan had the guts, Wei Chi wouldn't be willing... There was no such thing as a scam, but he came honestly Leaving Monan, the mystery in it... Xuan!Thinking of the delicate relationship between King Yan and King Qin, Xu Yue felt a little horrified, no matter what, after all, this is still the Chen family's world, so what should I do.

"Shaohu is not finished yet?" Xu Yue actually has nothing to do, just chat with someone.

"Master Xu, I'm a little uncomfortable today. I'm going slowly. The night wind is blowing. Master Xu, go back to the tent and rest."

Only then did Xu Yue see Wei Chi's pale face clearly through the light: "Hey! Your complexion is not good! How many things do you have to do today? Your health is important, so you should go and rest."

Wei Chi wanted to decline, but he was really exhausted: "It means I didn't sleep well in the past two days... Master Xu laughed."

"This wilderness is no better than the capital! It's not easy to get sick, and it's not a big deal. Let's go back and rest."

Speaking of this, Wei Chi couldn't hold on anymore, so he tidied up casually, thanked Xu Yue, and walked out of the big tent.A gust of cold wind made Wei Chi shiver, and secretly turned his head to look at the tower in the distance. The white shadow seemed to be still floating in the dark night sky.The daughter of a wealthy family has been reduced to such a state... The world is impermanent?It seems that what I sigh in my heart is not just the impermanence of the world.

After returning to his own tent, after washing up and sending Chen Hu away, Wei Chi was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyelids open.I lay down on the bed but had a severe headache, tossing and turning and having trouble falling asleep.Flipping through the pages, Wei Chi habitually put his hands on his chest.In the past, the master always forbade him to sleep like this, saying that he would have nightmares, but when Wei Chi couldn't sleep, he always did it secretly, because it was warm.Lying like this, Wei Chi slowly remembered how Master felt, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

In a daze, Wei Chi seemed to have returned to his childhood, the snow was so heavy that year, the sky was so cold, and the north wind blew the window paper of the ruined temple.I squatted at the stove to watch the master burn the fire, and the millet in the pot gave off a burst of aroma.The stove fire reflected the master's face red, and the master stretched out his hand, ah~ wiped the snot off Wei Chi's face.

"Go to bed, go to bed, go and lie under the quilt!" The master smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were crowded.

Wei Chi quickly kicked off his shoes and nestled under the quilt. Although the quilt was still very cold, Wei Chi was not afraid. After a while, the rice porridge for the Chinese New Year would be ready, and he would be warm after drinking the porridge.

Finally, the porridge was served on the table.It's a pity that after taking a bite, I heard the sound of earth cannons sounding from the foot of the mountain.

"Bandits! Bandits! Shan'er, run away!" Master yelled anxiously, ignoring the rice porridge.

Wei Chi was also taken aback by fright, and quickly took his master's hand and went out through the back door. The snow was so deep that his master tightly grabbed Wei Chi's hand and dragged him into the forest.Walking back and forth, but it seemed that he couldn't get rid of the sound of chasing footsteps behind him, and the master was sweating profusely.Uneasiness and fear made this familiar mountain strange, and the dark dead branches scratched Wei Chi's face.In this icy and snowy field, the old and the young groped their way into the deep mountains.After walking for an unknown amount of time, Master suddenly stopped by a big tree.The master pointed to the black hole in front of him and whispered, "Bear hole."

Bear!Wei Chi trembled with fright.But the master was not afraid, and after settling down Wei Chi, he approached the bear cave tremblingly alone.The old man sat down leaning against a big rock at the entrance of the bear cave, and carefully picked the lighted bark into the bear cave with his crutches.One piece, two pieces... Wei Chi was so nervous that his palms sweated, and the third piece of burning bark was picked out.

A smell of scorched fur penetrated Wei Chi's nostrils, and a low growl sounded from the bear cave.Suddenly, a huge black shadow jumped up from the hole and fled to the depths of the woods.After the surroundings calmed down again, the master groped out from behind the big rock, and dragged Wei Chi, who was still in shock, to the edge of the bear cave.

"Come on, Shan'er goes in first."

Wei Chi backed away in horror. She knew how powerful the bear was, and Zhang Orion at the entrance of the village had half of his face scratched off by the bear.

The master bent down and patted Wei Chi's head: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, bears don't eat monks, and if you freeze in the wild all night, if you don't get caught up by bandits, you will freeze to death. Shan'er is obedient."

Wei Chi slipped into the bear cave along the master's crutches. The inside was indeed much warmer than the outside, and it smelled of bears and hay that had been chewed by bears.Master tidied up the hole and got in, turned around and took off his jacket to block the hole.The teacher and apprentice were crowded in the narrow bear cave. Wei Chi's eyes gradually got used to the darkness, and he opened his eyes to look around. She was afraid of the bear, afraid that something would come out of the cave.The master stretched out his arms and put his arms around Wei Chi, muttering: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." Master's hands were also frozen cold, but these cold and vicissitudes of life gave Wei Chi infinite comfort.Xiongdong was indeed very warm, Wei Chi secretly put his hands on his chest, thinking about the bowl of millet porridge that he just took a sip of, and fell asleep faintly.

In the dream, Wei Chi seemed to feel that he was floating up again, and floated back from the mountain to the ruined temple at the entrance of the village.Why are there so many people standing at the entrance of the temple?The man at the head seemed to be the well-known Chen Xiaozi in the town. He had a filial cloth tied on his head, his face was full of anger, and he was holding a woman by his hand.

"It's this bitch! Ke killed my father!" As soon as the roar came out, there was a burst of shouting and beating behind him.

Chen's relatives rushed up and punched and kicked the woman. The woman curled up like a bug, and was kicked and rolled around.There was applause from the crowd, this is a woman with a severed hand, a bereaved star, who can kill her father-in-law even if she is a concubine.

Facing the stick, the woman didn't howl or struggle, but curled up.Wei Chi thought, is this the case for all women who are going to be buried alive?Live too tired, live too hard, just give up.Her father-in-law, Chen Xiaozi, watched with satisfaction as his clansmen vented their anger for his father, and then he personally dragged his concubine to the big hole that had already been dug at the gate of the temple.Because her hair was being grabbed, the woman's head was raised, and Wei Chi happened to meet those empty eyes.Those black eyes were like two dull carbon spheres, but they exuded a gloomy aura.Wei Chi took a step back in fright, and the villagers around shouted again: "Sangmenxing! How dare you stare at Wei Xiucai, what is your identity, do you want to kill him too?"

"No! No!" As if going crazy, the woman broke free from Chen Xiaozi's hand and rushed towards Wei Chi: "You have all been deceived, she is also a woman! What kind of talent is she! She is just a woman! A woman !!!!"

The woman hugged Wei Chi so tightly that she couldn't even pull him away.She howled hoarsely, Wei Chi looked down, and at some point, her gray cloth clothes turned into white fur, the same eyes, different faces, the corners of her mouth were... laughing.Just in a daze, Wei Chi was also dragged into that pit, unable to shout out even if he wanted to, and unable to escape even if he wanted to.Those white furs seemed to have turned into many hands, untied Wei Chi's hair, untied Wei Chi's clothes, and those white hands also stretched out through those furs, holding Wei Chi's face: "Look, you're a woman."

"So she's a woman! Bury her, bury her!" A roar came from overhead.In an instant, the black soil fell from the head.

No!I'm not!I'm not!Wei Chi wanted to shout, but he couldn't. He could only stare at this gentle smiling face in fear until the black soil separated them.

Master!Master!Wei Chi stretched out his hand... and missed...

When he opened his eyes, he found that he was still on the bed in the military tent, and it was already dawn.It's a dream... Wei Chi wiped the cold sweat off his face and sat up.What a strange dream, as if it were real. The Chen family happened many years ago, but it was different from the dream. She was tied up in a pigskin bag and buried alive. Wei Chi never saw her at all. Afterwards, for some reason, she dreamed of being together with that Monan princess.Thinking of Master, I feel a little sad, I don't know whether Master is happy or worried when he sees me now...

Wei Chi sat on the bed and thought wildly for a long time before he slowly tidied up and got out of bed, and just put on his shoes when he heard Chen Hu's voice: "Wei Shenling is still sleeping, General Du, please wait."

Chen Hu is an honest man, he never does what Wei Chi won't let him do.The other school officials had to clean up and change clothes for their chiefs, but after Wei Chi insisted, Chen Hu didn't force it anymore, and just stood at the door of the tent after fetching water every day, waiting for Wei Chi to finish grooming himself.Chen Hu also had his own thoughts, what is the Hanlin Academy?They are inhabited by fairy-like people.What kind of person is Wei Chi?Tanhua hand-picked by the emperor.People who have read books are of course different from rough people like myself. If you want to serve him, you may not be able to serve him well. Since Wei Canling politely refused, let's follow the adults' wishes.

It is a blessing from the past life that I can be a subordinate with Tanhua of the current dynasty. Of course, I have to be dedicated to my duty. I am not allowed to enter as a rough person, and of course other rough people cannot enter!Even you, General Du, please wait at the door.

Du Yun was too lazy to chat with a small school, and yelled directly at the military tent: "Wei Shenling, come out quickly, what time is it, still sleeping!"

Wei Chi tidied up in a hurry to welcome Du Yun who was making a fuss.

As soon as Du Yun entered the door, he said to Wei Chi mysteriously: "Hey, brother Wei Chi, did you sleep well last night? Did you hear anything?"

Wei Chi shook his head. Although he didn't sleep well, he slept so deeply that he couldn't even wake up...

"Have you slept like a dead pig? Such a big commotion didn't wake you up! Last night, the Black Wind Army from Erguyuan Magui came to attack the camp, and we blasted it to pieces! Even his youngest son was killed. It exploded!"

exploded?Wei Chi did not hear anything: "Who is going to blow it up?"

Du Yun had a smirk on his face: "I only found out after the bombing last night. It wasn't anyone who did it, it was the land mine buried by Staff Officer Du! My good guy, it didn't take a single soldier to blow up those grandsons who were sneaking up on me!" smash."

Mine...

Sneak attack...

It seems that General Wang didn't want to exchange that princess for any advantage, but just wanted to use her little life to motivate Gu Yuanma to send troops... Life is indeed a worthless thing.Wei Chi smiled wryly.

"Why do you have a bad complexion?" Du Yun took a closer look and found that Wei Chi's complexion was a little pale.

"It's nothing, it's just that I was too tired the past two days and didn't sleep well." Wei Chi said lightly.

"That's right, you should have a good rest. I think the siege battle is coming soon. You have to take good care of your health. If you miss the good show, I won't be talking about storytelling."

"If I don't let you talk, I'm afraid I will suffocate you." Wei Chi couldn't help joking: "I know it myself, it will be fine if I take a rest."

Seeing that Wei Chi's complexion was not good, and it was not convenient for him to sit longer, Du Ran went to pay the bill after talking for a while.Looking at Du Yun's bouncing back, Wei Chi felt a burst of sadness, an innocent life was lost like this, and no one seemed to feel bad except himself.For a moment, Du Yun felt strange, and the bitter taste began to spread in his mouth again.If he goes back to Chencun again, maybe even Chen Xiaozi himself won't remember that miserable woman, right?
