Those things about fighting wits and courage with the little grudges

"Which one who suffered thousands of knives set fire to the mountain, how many times has this been wiped out." The guy at Cup Moding was a little impatient. He cleaned up the black ash, and it was fine if the black ash fell everywhere, unless it came again, except it came again.

The clerk was muttering, was cleaning and remembered that the guests in the private room hadn't been sent yet. "Yo, why did I forget."

When An Yiyan left Cup Moting, he told the staff to wake up General Zuo after dawn. Now that the sky is covered by thick smoke, it is impossible to tell the time, but when the rooster crows for a long time, it is better to go and shout.

"General Zuo, General Zuo." The clerk pushed open the door of the private room, General Zuo still maintained the posture from yesterday, lying motionless on the table.

"General Zuo, wake up, it's dawn." The man called again, but General Zuo still didn't respond. "This is so drunk." He muttered in a low voice, so he had to push it with his hands.

"General Left."

This push was terrible, General Zuo fell straight backwards.

The clerk was so scared that he knelt down and begged for mercy, "Forgive me, General." After waiting for a while without seeing General Zuo scolding him, the clerk slowly raised his head, "There will be no accident..."

Sure enough, General Zuo's complexion was purple and black, and the clerk stretched out his fingers to sniff him, and he backed up a few steps in fright, exclaiming: "Something...something has happened, shopkeeper, shopkeeper! Come here quickly, something has happened ah!"

General Zuo spent half his life in the army, and finally ended up drunk and dying in a cup. I don't know if it is good or bad.

Last night, the patrolling soldiers at the east gate of the royal city found thick smoke billowing from the eastern suburbs, and immediately rang the bronze bell, and the bells sounded all over the royal city.The city bell rang, and the lights of all houses were on. They kept asking what happened, and the imperial guards rushed to the east gate, causing people to panic. It wasn't until the yamen guards rang the gong, and they found someone to build a fire wall, that everyone knew what was going on. There was a wildfire in the suburbs.

The shopkeeper of Bei Moting hurried out and wanted to report to the officials, but he met patrolling officers and soldiers. After a while, the news that General Zuo died of drunkenness in Bei Moting spread like wildfire.

"My lord! My lord! Why are you so cruel! My lord! You left us orphans and widows, what should we do!" Mrs. Zuo lay on General Zuo's body and wept. The general carried him back to Zuofu.

"Mother, why don't we carry dad back home." The eldest son of the Zuo family was a little embarrassed, and he felt that he had lost face when a circle of people gathered around to watch the excitement.

Madam Zuo raised her hand and slapped him on the face, saying angrily, "Your heartless thing, it's your father who is dead now! You're still thinking about your own face, kneel down! Kneel down!" Down!"

The eldest son of the Zuo family was a little reluctant, so Mrs. Zuo went up to tear and beat him.

"Unfilial son! Unfilial son!"

"Mother!" Young Master Zuo roared loudly, tears streaming down his eyes. "Mom, let's take dad home..."

Young Master Zuo knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, and from the corner of his eye he kept looking at the steward of Duke Ding's Mansion who was not far away.

"I won't leave, I'm going to be here today! I still want to speak out! My master is dead, and I won't live anymore! I don't have a son who is greedy for life and afraid of death like you!" Mrs. Zuo kept beating her chest, Calm down.

"Everyone! Everyone! I am the wife of General Zuo. Last night, my master was invited by the young master of Dingguo's mansion to come to Cup Moting for a banquet. This morning, I found out that I was drunk and died at Cup Moting! Please witness , the one who killed my master was the young master of Duke Dingguo's mansion!"

"Mother, stop talking!" Mr. Zuo kept tugging on his mother's sleeve, "Stop talking about mother."

As soon as the words Dingguo Gongfu came out, the spectators gradually dispersed, and these ordinary people could not listen to or care about the Duke's affairs.

"Everyone! Duke Dingguo's Mansion! Young Lord! An Yiyan! Kill my master!"

The people around gradually dispersed, all of them lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, and those who led the children to watch the fun even blocked the children's ears.

"My God! My God!"

"Mom, come back, let's go back!"

"Hahahaha! Nizi, Nizi!" Mrs. Zuo refused to listen to any persuasion now, and drew out the big knife of the yamen servant and put it on her neck.

"Mother! Mother! What are you going to do!"

"Go and drag the coffin for me, hurry up!"

"Mom, I'm going! I'm going! Put down the knife quickly..."

Mr. Zuo hurriedly carried the coffin, Mrs. Zuo still held the big knife around his neck.

"Go to Dingguo Mansion!"

"Mother!"

"If you don't go, I'll go by myself! I'll be the Zuo family! Without you being an unfilial son!" After finishing speaking, Mrs. Zuo dragged and dragged General Zuo into the coffin, but how could she have such strength.

"Madam Zuo, I need Gu to help!" Gu Nanzhao's body was not clean, it was either mud or dust. Madam Zuo looked at him for a long time before she recognized Gu Nanzhao.

"General Gu!" Mrs. Zuo knelt down and kowtowed to him.

Gu Nanzhao said that he couldn't bear it, and hurriedly helped her up.

As soon as Gu Nanzhao moved, the Imperial Guard behind him ordered him to draw out his saber.

"Why, Gu can still run away!"

Gu Nanzhao put down what he was carrying on his shoulders and what he was carrying in his hand, it could not be An Yiyan's corpse.

Mrs. Zuo's hands trembled, and the big knife slipped from her hand. "Nizi, come here and kowtow to General Gu!"

"Hey, I'm afraid Ma'am may have misunderstood something, son! Set fire to the mountain."

Gu Nanzhao only guessed that Anyi Yanding obtained the order from General Zuo so that he could lead the imperial guards up the mountain to suppress the bandits. He never expected the death of General Zuo.

Gu Nanzhao moved General Zuo's body into the coffin, bowed to him, and kowtowed again. Who coaxed him to join the army...it must be General Zuo.

The coffin of General Zuo was sent to Duke Dingguo's mansion together with Anyiyan's body.

Gu Nanzhao bid farewell to Mrs. Zuo, and was escorted into the palace by the imperial guards.

……

"outskirts"

Cutting logs to stop fire, digging aqueducts, building fire walls, and setting up marching tents.This was the decision the little emperor made at the moment the city bell rang.

The commander of the imperial guards was leading people to do these things at a location two miles outside the city. Li Erniu was ordered by Gu Nanzhao to bring the villagers from the eastern suburbs over. Two and a half miles away, the Imperial Guard is just ahead.

"Fellow townsmen, we will send you here. There are guards in front of you. Just go there. Don't be afraid."

"Strong man, you don't want to go with us? What if the mountain fire burns over?"

Li Erniu smiled foolishly, he would not say words of comfort, so he bowed his hands and saluted, and then led the people to the intersection of the eastern and western suburbs.

"I'm exhausted, I'm exhausted." Li Erniu sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

When the mountain fire broke out yesterday, Gu Nanzhao blew up the signal on the top of the mountain in the eastern suburbs. Yun Shu has already cut down trees in the intersection of the eastern and western suburbs to stop the fire, "Er Niu, where is the general?"

"Mountain fire, I don't know which son set it off, but the Erdang's family directly beheaded the man. Later, the Erdang's family took the man's body to Wangcheng and ordered me to move out the villagers in the eastern suburbs."

"God damn thing, this kind of thing can be done..."

It turned out that someone set the fire... Yun Shu patted Li Erniu on the shoulder to let him rest for a while. Yuan Qi set fire to a mountain is a capital crime, but there is a rule that if a prince commits a capital crime, he cannot be executed immediately. Gu Nanzhao took the dead body to Wangcheng, making it clear that this person had an unusual identity.

Thinking of this, Yun Shu's complexion became serious, his general really disliked his fate.
