Chapter 912: Wall Grass
When the prefect left Yongcheng, the sky was not even fully bright, but now it was considered bright. The people came in and out of the city gate in an endless stream, perhaps because of the news that Broken Leaf City was about to be defeated, people rushed to buy food, as well as dry food for easy storage, and the city fell into chaos and did not find that an army was slowly surrounding Yongcheng, until the screams rang out.
The cause of the matter is this, in front of the city gate, I don't know who threw a package.
A lady happened to pass by, and kicked the package without paying attention, and the heavy weight made her puzzled, and when she looked down, she saw blood stains standing on the embroidered shoes! The package was still bleeding.......
Where have ordinary people seen such a battle! Yongcheng is not on the northwest front, there is a broken leaf city in front of it, for thousands of years, this city has not been war, and now I suddenly saw a package of blood flowing out, it was really earth-shattering! The screams came and went, and finally attracted the officials.
The official said viciously: "What are you doing here, go quickly!" ”
"Official!" The woman who first found the package sat on the ground, trembling like a leaf in the wind, and said in horror, "There seems to be something in the package!" ”
The official who came to inspect the situation looked at it and was stunned On the surface, it was just an ordinary blue cloth bag, but the round objects contained in it, as well as the blood donations that slowly seeped out, told people that they were unusual.
The official was so frightened that he wanted to retreat, but when he thought about it, he was in full view of everyone, and he didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at his every move. No, the head can be broken and the blood can flow, and the face cannot be lost!
He mustered up his courage and opened the blue cloth bag tremblingly.
What caught my eye was a black mass of paint, and as the cloth bag was completely opened, the object was completely visible to everyone.
"Ahh This turned out to be a human head! ”
The screams came and went, and the people retreated one after another, but the official was still standing trembling in place, with a pair of feet as if they were given by nails, and they couldn't walk away if they wanted to. All because he knows that face!
In fact, most of the people present recognized the face, but because the human head appeared too suddenly and the scene was relatively bloody, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to think about anything, and after calming down a little, they put their eyes on each other's faces. That face is the face of Yongcheng's parents!
The atmosphere changed abruptly, and the people turned from horror to joy, and if it weren't for the presence of the officials, they would even have the urge to applaud.
It's really good, how many years has this dog official been in Yongcheng, and the people of Yongcheng have been tortured by too many teenagers! The people are yellow and thin, and their lives are difficult because of his corruption, I don't know how many people have been looted over the years, and there are many people who hate to break his body into pieces, but they have no ability......
People have long been looking forward to the prefect's death, and now that the dream has come true, he has finally been retributed, who is not happy? Sad, probably only the lackeys under the prefect who are working hard!
While the crowd whispered, there was a sudden scream from the city gate.
"Close the gates! Close the gates! ”
The guards at the gate did not know what to do, but they did not suspect it, and slowly closed the gate, and only when the huge gate slammed shut completely did the people realize what had happened. Most of them are from outside the city to catch the market, and they have to go back after shopping.
The guards on the city tower heard the noise, leaned over and said viciously: "Don't make noise, someone is attacking the city!" The enemy army has already surrounded you, and in a few moments they will be under the city, and when the city gates are opened, are you afraid that you will die sooner? ”
As soon as they heard that the enemy was attacking the city, the people were disorganized.
After so many years, even though there is war in the northwest region, there is also Broken Leaf City in front of it, how can the flames of war ever burn to the head of Yongcheng? They have not encountered a war for more than a hundred years, and this time they are all messed up, and even the officials who maintain order are panicked.
The soldiers on the city tower retracted their gaze: "General, what should we do now?"
The guard general's face was gloomy: "What else can I do, of course it is to defend the city, and I have already sent someone to inform the prefect, and I will wait for the lord to give instructions."
"General......" There was a cry from downstairs in the city.
The defenders became more and more impatient, and reprimanded coldly: "What are you going to do?"
The official pointed to the blue cloth bag on the ground, and said without tears: "Your Excellency...... He's ...... Already ......"
Yongcheng is a small border city, so the city tower is not high, looking down from the city tower, the guard can vaguely see the black objects in the cloth bag, as well as the blood that is constantly flowing outward next to it. Thinking of the official's words, he was suddenly startled, and rushed down the city tower in three steps and two steps, all the way to the blue cloth bag.
In the cloth bag, the dead man stared straight at the sky.
"Adult ......"
The lady who first found the cloth bag held her husband's hand and carefully explained the situation: "This cloth bag was left here, when I went to the city with my husband to buy it, I accidentally kicked it, and the feeling of kicking it was very wrong, so I looked down to look, and then I found that the cloth bag was stained with blood......
A local official was beheaded and thrown in front of the city gate, what does this represent besides provocation? It seems that the other party has put a lot of effort into the siege of the city!
The guard general's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked around.
The prefect has been doing evil in Yongcheng for many years, and he doesn't know how much blood he has on his hands, he deserves to die, but the people in the city are innocent. Once the flames of war are ignited, whether you lose or win, you will suffer heavy casualties......
In the flash of light, the guard already had an idea in his heart.
He stood up and walked up the tower step by step.
The people were panicked when they saw this, staring directly at the back of the guard, frowning, and very scared: "General, what should we do now?" Since ancient times, the only enemy in our northwest border city is the Qianghu people, and when the enemy army attacks the city, it must be the Qianghu people who have broken through the Broken Leaf City! ”
The Qianghu people are nomadic people, who have always burned and looted all kinds of evil, and if they capture Yongcheng, they will definitely not let this city have any survival.
The guard with his back to everyone sneered: "Our enemies are not only the Qianghu people, but also our own people. But please rest assured, my fathers and fellow villagers, I, Liang Ping, as the general of Yongcheng, will inevitably take on this responsibility, and the war will not burn here, and you will be fine. ”
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they wanted to ask Liang Ping what his plan was, but they found that the other party had already left in a hurry with a team.
At this time, it is useless to resist, Liang Ping knows a little bit very well. When he was on the castle tower, he had already seen the banner of the enemy army, that banner, he had just seen two days ago, it belonged to the army under General Lin, and he thought that they had turned their heads to attack Yongcheng.
Although he didn't know why the other party wanted to point the finger at Yongcheng, Liang Ping already had a way to deal with it in his heart. As soon as he told the other soldiers what he was thinking, everyone was shocked.
"General, this, this is not appropriate, is it?"
At this time, they were hiding in an alley, and as far as the eye could see, it was the prefect's mansion. Maybe it was because the city gate was too chaotic, and everyone panicked so they didn't have time to deliver the news, but the mansion was still quiet, and it seemed that the news that the prefect had been cut in two had not yet reached here.
Liang Ping was calm: "This is the only way we can."
"The general is right," a small soldier nodded solemnly, "The other party deliberately threw the head of the prefect in front of the city gate, just to warn us that the guards have the ability to slaughter the city, if they don't surrender, I'm afraid that more people will die in Yongcheng." ”
"Then, that can't kill the whole family!"
That's right, Liang Ping's so-called plan is to kill the entire prefect's family, as well as his cronies, and to clean up all the people who are loyal to the prefect is their sincerity to General Lin, so that there is a glimmer of life.
"It's all on me, you just have to do it." Liang Ping's brows were twisted into a Sichuan character, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind, "If there is infamy, I will carry it alone." Do it. ”
He was the first to stand up and walk towards the mansion.
Liang Ping is a very thin person, although he is the guard of Yongcheng, the official is in a high position, but there are not many Lu, these years in order to help the poor people in the city who can't even afford to eat, he shrunk his clothes and dieted to starve himself from a man with a tiger's back to this emaciated appearance. If there's anyone who has the deepest feelings for Yongcheng, it's probably him.
Several soldiers glanced at each other and nodded in unison.
If sacrificing a few people can be exchanged for the peace of Yongcheng, and in exchange for the people of Yongcheng not being harmed by the war, they are also willing, since there is no other choice in front of them, then let's do it.
"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door of the mansion.
The little guy in the door responded, and walked over to open the door while muttering: "The prefect is not in the mansion, if you want to see him, just wait...... Yikes! ”
The cold light flashed, and the little girl's words also changed.
The frightened gaze fell on the knife, and the little guy's body trembled involuntarily: "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life!"
"Take a closer look at who I am." The man who pressed the knife to his neck spoke.
The little guy looked at it fixedly, and was even more dazed and at a loss: "You are General Liang...... General, you are ......"
Liang Ping didn't have the need to answer his question, and asked straight to the point: "Which courtyard is Madame in?" Liang Ping's target is the prefect's family and cronies, their lives are valuable, and the rest of the people are not in Liang Ping's eyes.
"Madame is in the East Courtyard!" The little guy cried with a sad face and begged for mercy, "General Liang, please spare the little one!" ”
Liang Ping's eyes were slightly confused, his subordinates understood, and a hand knife hit the back of the little guy's neck, and he immediately rolled his eyes and fainted, and then, the door of the mansion was tightly closed.
