Chapter 750

In February, the night wind in the capital is still cold, but this can not stop the excitement of the night market.

The restaurants and teahouses in the daytime have been closed to thank customers, but the lights in the restaurants at night are bright. With the night lights, the whole street is filled with the aroma of wine and powder, and the charming smiles of women are looming.

The streets are full of vendors, with hot fires and bright and flickering lanterns, which attract many people even near midnight.

The drunk people who ate in the restaurant sat under the mutton soup shed on the street. It was very comfortable to drink the hot mutton soup and wake up with the night wind.

"Brother Zhao, brother Zhao." Someone passed him and thought of something. He stopped and asked, "how's the battle in the north?"

After more than a month of killing, the northern field war since the first month is no longer the most concerned thing of the people in the capital. Sometimes they even forget that they are still fighting,

The official who was called brother Zhao made a sound and seemed to think about it carefully.

"Nothing. I'm deadlocked with the golden man at the border." He said, with a bit of ignorance of seeing through the world, "I think this is the case with Da Jin and Da Zhou. No one can help anyone. It's just making trouble at the border every year."

Nearby, a diner came over with mutton soup and nodded.

"Not really." He said, "although it is said that the Jin people once broke through the Central Plains, our Dazhou is different from Daqi in the end. It is not surprising that the wild and small land of Daqi is equal to Dajin and has been destroyed. Even if we were caught unprepared for a moment, we don't have the strength to return our hands."

"Yes, they have raised soldiers for more than ten years. They don't eat for nothing." Many people nodded and looked relaxed. "When Duke Cheng brought him to the capital, we saw with our own eyes that he was really a good soldier."

The words mentioned Cheng Guogong, which made the atmosphere stagnant.

Cheng Guogong is said to have defected to the land of the golden man and may lead the golden man to fight.

Isn't it a boast of the power of the king?

This is really frightening.

"Soldiers are soldiers and will be generals." The official surnamed Zhao said slowly with a smile that you don't know anything, "Duke Cheng is so famous because of his bravery. He ran away, but the soldiers didn't run. Without the soldiers, he's nothing."

Yes, yes, everyone nodded quickly.

"Besides, there is also qinghebo." The boss of mutton soup, holding a spoon, stirred the pot and said, "you are young. You only know Cheng Guogong. Don't forget that qinghebo was also famous in those days, but you were stationed in the south, and everyone didn't care much."

This makes everyone feel more at ease.

"Don't mind those things. We don't have to worry about them." Someone said with a smile and grabbed the Lamb Soup Bowl drunk, "there are adults here. The emperor is not in a hurry. We are at the foot of the emperor. This is the safest place."

As for other places, they can't control them.

Everyone laughed, and suddenly there was a noise nearby.

"Come and see, sister Xiao is swimming in the river at night."

Sister Xiao is now a popular girl in the newly promoted Department of Jiaofang. She has attracted countless CHILDES and young masters to spend a lot of money and make a smile. It's hard for ordinary people like them to see each other.

When I heard that she was traveling at night in a flower boat, the street suddenly boiled like boiling water and crowded to both sides of the river.

However, the colorful boats in the river flourished, during which the women were surrounded by jade piles of beads, and the bamboo strings sang and danced like a fairy mountain. The river was crowded with people. From time to time, people were crowded into falling into the river, causing laughter, and some people threw silk flowers and fragrant fruits on the colorful boats.

In the end, the rich people of unknown families simply threw a basket of big money into the river, which attracted countless people to jump down the river and compete for it. They almost blocked the flower boat. They screamed and screamed on the flower boat, which made people intoxicated. I don't know what time it will be.

Compared with the night market in the outer city, the inner city where the imperial palace is located has fallen into the silence of night, like two worlds.

But at this time, the hall of diligence was still brightly lit.

"Your Majesty."

An official trotted in.

In the hall, five cabinet dignitaries such as Huang Cheng couldn't help walking a few steps, and the emperor on the throne also stood up.

"How's it going? Any news?" He asked eagerly.

Officials were sweating in the cold night. They didn't know whether they were running too fast or anxious.

"Yes, yes." He gasped, "the fifth route reinforcements have arrived in Puyin, with nearly 100000 troops."

Huang Cheng and others were relieved.

"That's good."

"Very timely, very timely."

"Enough to fight, enough to fight."

Everyone said one after another, and the emperor was relieved to sit back in his chair.

"Where's Qinghe Bo?" He asked again what had occurred to him.

The official hesitated.

"Qinghebo has no new news for the time being." He said.

The previous old news was that there was no news, that is, I didn't know whether to live or die.

No new news? Does that mean you don't know life or death?

All the people present looked a little ugly.

"But your majesty, don't worry." The official said hurriedly, "qinghebo also arranged how to assist the attack when sending the order of transferring troops and fire. At this time, all the troops are in place."

That's good, that's good. Even if qinghebo can't be rescued at that time, this war will be enough for the golden man to deal with.

Jin tartar prisoners are greedy and timid. They are afraid to beat them with one hand and give them some benefits with the other hand.

The emperor looked at Huang Cheng.

"Can the messenger of the golden man be contacted?" He asked.

Huang Cheng leaned over and answered yes.

"I've contacted you and I'm waiting for a reply." He said without hesitation.

The emperor nodded.

"No matter what they say, they should come down first and then talk." He said.

No matter what conditions you want, you should come down? This is also a loss of national prestige. Officials frowned on one side.

"Your Majesty." He couldn't help but speak.

The emperor interrupted him impatiently.

"It's not all agreed. Jin Ren's children deceive them first so that the people won't suffer." He said.

Probably frightened by the sudden war, the emperor was more arbitrary than before, and was very impolite to the officials who raised objections. If he said that he would be punished, he would be punished.

Well, let's see how Hebo's siege war is. The official leaned over and answered.

The emperor looked at several important officials in the hall.

"Also, the siege of qinghebo should be kept secret." He said, "only you know. Don't spread it."

The officials looked at each other.

Do you want to hide such a big thing?

"This kind of news should not be spread now, so as not to affect morale, disturb the hearts of the people and cause riots, which will make it easier for Jin people to take advantage of it." Said the emperor.

What's more, he was appointed by Qing Hebo. In this way, such waste will be trapped in the first World War, which will inevitably hurt him and scold him as waste.

"Yes." He sighed, "it's a shame for me to frighten the people so much in the first month of the new year."

There is some truth in this, but sometimes fright is also a kind of vigilance.

Several courtiers looked complicated, and Huang Cheng had bowed respectfully ahead of him.

"Your Majesty is holy." He said, and then subconsciously looked at the young man standing by.

People who shouldn't have been present on such an important occasion are still there, but this time he didn't say his Majesty's holiness first, but stood aside and listened carefully and attentively to the record.

However, the emperor was not in the mood to care whether he was holy or not. It was not a glorious thing. No one was stupid. At this time, where did he come from.

He glared at Huang Cheng with a little annoyance.

"There is no expedient." He said.

It's not easy for other officials to say anything else. Bend over and answer.

Ning Yunzhao stopped writing and lowered his head slightly, covering up the sarcasm and heaviness at the bottom of his eyes.

……….

……….

The land near the capital boundary is much warmer than that in the north. There are grass on the ground trying to drill out in the misty morning light, and the cautious God unfolds his green body.

When a strong horse's hoof is trodden, it leaves a pit, dust rises, and the green grass is trampled to pieces.

The man on the horse suddenly reined in his horse and stopped in the hiss. His armor collided and made a clatter.

These are two soldiers dressed as sentinels. At this time, they look at the front in surprise.

This is a country road. At this time, in the morning fog, there is a man lying on the ground with baskets on his back.

They are very familiar here. Not far away is Luojia village. The people on the ground are curling up. Although they can't see their faces, they have recognized the baskets and the broken forks that fell aside.

"Isn't this a lame man?" A sentry said, joking again, "Why are you lying on the ground? Is it not cow dung that you found this time, but gold?"

He raised his voice as he said this, but the people on the ground were still motionless and seemed to be asleep.

Something was wrong. The two sentinels rushed forward.

"Lame, are you ill?" As they asked, they reined in their horses and let out a low cry just before they approached.

The person lying on the ground is not curled up, but has no head at all.

What's going on?

The two sentinels jumped off their horses with a look of horror.

"Head." A sentry shouted, pointing to a big tree.

There was a head on the dry branch, which seemed to have been thrown up.

This technique is too cruel.

Who would have such a big feud with a disabled villager picking cow dung?

"Sickle cut." A sentinel half knelt on the ground, looked at the lame man's neck, whispered, swallowed saliva again, raised his head, "this kind of strength, this kind of sharp sickle is not common..."

Yes, even in their army, they don't use this kind of sickle, but they have seen this kind of sickle.

The faces of the two sentinels turned white.

Golden cavalry.

……..

……..

The village ahead is sleeping in the mist and is extremely quiet.

The sound of the horse's hooves was particularly loud.

"Slow." A sentry stopped his horse. "It's not right."

He jumped off his horse, took off all kinds of weapons from his horse and hung them on his body.

Yes, villages are different from towns. Villagers get up early and work hard. They can't sleep until the sun rises. What's more, they don't even have chickens chirping and dogs barking.

The two sentinels swallowed their saliva, threw down their horses, clenched their long guns and walked slowly to the village.

The village was silent.

The door of the nearest house was wide open, and two sentinels went in.

"Luo Laoqi." They shouted, subconsciously lowering their voice.

Even if you keep your voice down, you can hear it in the room.

But no one responded. The two sentinels winked and touched the door. One stood by the door and the other kicked at the door.

As soon as he touched the door, the door opened. The sentry almost fell. Fortunately, he immediately stabilized himself and stood in the room and saw the people lying on the ground.

be besmeared with blood.

Not only did she go to bed, but also a woman holding two children stacked on top of each other, blood stained the mattress.

Something's wrong!

Footsteps sounded in the village, the doors were opened one after another, and all the people were dead.

Some in the yard, some in the house, everywhere.

The whole village was slaughtered overnight.

Two sentinels stood in the village, their legs trembling slightly and their faces were bloodless.

It's not that they haven't seen dead people, but it's the first time they've seen such a terrible scene.

What's going on?

"Mountain bandit and horse bandit?" Muttered a sentry.

The other turned.

"No matter what, go and report to your adult." He said.

The massacre of the whole village can no longer only be reported to the government, but also the local garrison should intervene.

As soon as he turned around, a man appeared in his sight.

The sentry couldn't help shouting.

Anyone who has just seen the dead in the village will be frightened by the living people who suddenly appear.

This is the man who came out of an alley.

Are there any survivors?

The sentry breathed another sigh of relief.

"Fellow townsman, what's wrong..." he shouted hurriedly.

As soon as the words came out, the sentry beside him grabbed his arm, and the sound of his companion's teeth colliding came to his ears.

"Kim... Kim..."

Kim what?

The sentry's line of sight also saw the man standing in front of him.

This man is short and strong, wearing copper nail cotton armor, holding a fine iron sickle in his hand, and a strange smile is showing on his face covered by tie Kui.

Jin Bing!

Is he dreaming?

How did Jin Bing appear here?

The sentry stared and subconsciously wanted to pull out the bow and arrow after birth, but it was still a step late. The cold light flashed in front of him. The golden soldier had rushed over and the long sickle came straight.

Blood splashed everywhere.
