Chapter 1413

It was the middle of November, and the land was full of the aftereffects of the snowstorm. The air was flying with snow wadding, and the ground was full of deep snow pits. There was no pedestrian on the road. If it was not necessary, no one was willing to go out.

But at the third quarter of the hour on November 14, it was still dark, and the sound of the horse's hooves broke the silence before dawn.

The South Gate of the city was knocked.

After days of Blizzard, the soldiers who still held fast to the city gate pushed open the small window on the arrow tower and cried, "who's knocking at the door?"

That humanitarian: "frontier urgent report! Urgent report

The soldier who was guarding the city didn't dare to neglect when he heard the urgent report from the frontier. He jumped down and opened a wide crack in the gate of the city. He looked at him by candlelight and exclaimed, "Ouch!" it turned out that the other side's face could not be called face, because it was covered with red chilblain and yellow and green pus in some places. Looking at him again, he didn't wear armor, although he had two cotton padded clothes But there were several holes in the stitches of the outer piece, and the white cotton was exposed. As soon as the wind blew, even the flying catkins could be seen faintly going with the wind.

The declarant didn't say much, so he rushed in when the gate was opened.

The soldiers stood there and watched him go away. After half a sound, they came back and looked at each other: "what's the matter? Is there another war? "

One of them gave a "Gee" and muttered, "what's this?"

They all looked at him and saw him spread out his palm, holding a ball of snow-white things, because they asked him: "what is this?"

The humanitarian: "fell from the brother just now..."

After hearing this, they said, "it's mostly cotton. I saw that his cotton padded clothes were broken..."

That person "Oh" a, will throw away.

At this time, an older veteran suddenly said, "no, it's not cotton! Show me! "

The man handed it to him suspiciously, raised the candlestick close to him, narrowed his eyes and said, "how could it not be cotton You see, it's white, it's not cotton. What is it... "

The veteran took the object from his palm, looked at it carefully, and exclaimed, "this is the reed flower!"

"Reed flower?" The crowd doubts a way, "how can he fall out of reed flower?"

The veteran pondered for a while and said, "this must not be spread out! Just don't know! "

They didn't dare to ask more questions. They suppressed their curiosity and went to their posts.

In the middle of Maoshi, it was still dark. Gao Rong, who lived in the alley of Guihua street, was awakened in his sleep because he heard the sound of the iron hoofs from the war horses. This kind of sound only exists in the northwest war horses! In the past ten years, countless nights, he would be awakened by the sound of the hoof in his dream. In the dream, the faces of 800 brothers were very clear in front of him. Since his revenge that year, he was able to sleep until dawn.

But today, he was awakened again by the sound of the hoof.

Gao Rong sat up straight, spread out the palm full of calluses, rubbed his face, and said to himself, "how did you dream again?"

At this time, the sound of the hoof is more and more clear, so Gao Rong knows that he is not a dream, and the sound of the hoof is not far away! In other words, is there a big army in the city?

Surprised, Gao Rong immediately jumps out of bed, quickly puts on his clothes, carries a knife around his waist, pushes the door with his sword, and listens under the window.

"The sound of the iron hoof is not miscellaneous, it is extremely clear, and there are not many people." Gao Rong murmured.

After listening carefully for a while, Gao Rong said, "there is only one horse! When I come to Beijing at this time, is there something wrong with the border? " Gao Rongxin is surprised. He looks up from the patio and knows that it's Maoshi. He's not far from Yingmao of Dali temple. He just leads his horse out to Cui Zhonglei's residence.

Cui Zhonglei and Gao Rong are only two families apart, and they are also the house that boss Tang helped to find. The pattern is similar to that of Wanzhai, which is also a two-way courtyard.

Soon, the LORD followed the two men on horseback one by one, following the footprints.

Gao Rong said: "on weekdays, the customs declarant will run while shouting, but it's still dark, and there is no pedestrian on the road. It's useless for him to shout, so he rushes to the palace gate with all his might."

Cui Zhonglei nodded and went with him.

After crossing the broad chessboard street, Cui Zhonglei suddenly stops. Gao Rong does not hear the sound of the horse's hooves as he walks. He turns back and asks in amazement, "my Lord, why don't you go?"

Cui Zhonglei said: "listen carefully, the sound of the hoof you said is gone."

Gao ronglema, after listening carefully, was absolutely silent. He couldn't help saying strangely, "what's the matter? There was obviously You see, my Lord, there are still hoof marks on the ground. "

Cui Zhonglei said, "which lane did he turn into? Gao Rong, are you sure what you hear must be the sound of hooves? "

Gao Rong said: "absolutely! And it's the northwest war horse! I can tell when I hear it! "

Cui Zhonglei said, "let's get off the horse and search for it."

Gao Rong said: "it's snowy. Just stay on horseback. I'll look for it. " After that, he immediately stepped off his horse and searched on both sides of the dark street.

After a while, I heard him exclaim: "my Lord! Here it isCui Zhonglei drives his horse forward. There is a big pit on the ground. A thin and short horse is humming in the pit. The man on the horse's back has fallen into a coma.

Cui Zhonglei jumps off the horse and helps Gao Rong drag people up.

Gao Rong sniffed and breathed a sigh of relief: "he was fatigued, and the horses bumped and fell into the pit. Your honor, look at his briefcase. It's clear that it's the soldiers of our Daliang Dynasty. "

Cui Zhonglei also noticed the briefcase on his back and the Gong he held tightly in his hand. He sighed and said, "hurry up and get on the horse."

Lord with two people to lift him on the horse, Gao Rong asked: "this horse..."

Cui Zhonglei said, "don't worry about the horse. Let's take care of the good people."

Gao Rong said bitterly: "this is an old horse. I'm afraid it has been running day and night for more than seven days and nights I can't help it... "

Cui Zhonglei said: "don't worry about it. It should not worry about its life. The customs broker won't take only one war horse. He will ride another on the road."

Gao Rong nodded and said, "the pit is too big and deep. You have to ask someone to help you pull it out."

Cui Zhonglei said, "let's send people to the palace gate first. There are gatekeepers there. Save people."

Gao Rong gives a "Er" and looks at the old horse in the pit. Then he and Cui Zhonglei lead the horse of the customs broker to the palace gate.

It's so easy to wake people up. They want to carry Wang Yong to the Taiping Hospital. Wang Yong struggles to get up and tells them that after the snow disaster in Northwest China, 100000 soldiers are frostbitten by 50000 and more than 10000 people are killed! It's worse than war casualties! This time he went to Beijing, he not only asked for food, but also cotton padded clothes and quilts. He saw that Cui Zhonglei had the highest official rank, and constantly begged Cui Zhonglei to take him to see him.

After a long time, Cui Zhonglei murmured: "snow disaster is not common, but it's cold in Northwest every year. How could it be so tragic this time? Is the felt curtain not set up properly? Or is the storm too violent? " Your majesty is seriously ill. It's not suitable for him to know the bad news!

Wang Yong wiped his tears and choked: "no, my Lord! None of them He pulled off his cotton padded jacket and cried, "look at this! Look! what is it? This is the reed flower! How can Luhua keep out the cold? Brothers are freezing to death
