Chapter 738: Chestnut in the Fire!
The defenders of Dinghuai Gate had two camps in the perimeter, both of which were not far to the east.
The front camp is larger, which can accommodate three or four thousand people, and the rear camp is smaller, which can accommodate more than two thousand people, but there are several large warehouses on the rear camp, which are storage places for military supplies.
The two camps are separated by a waterway.
This is also the characteristic of Nanjing City, full of strong Jiangnan style, the city is full of water and bridges, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is 'water city'.
In Daming, it is customary to eat empty salaries.
But the location of Dinghuai Gate is here, and the guard Zhang Dingguo does not dare to go too far, and the defenders on the front line of Dinghuai Gate are probably in the early 4,000 people.
In the past, Zhang Dingguo's position was very comfortable.
Although he relied on the relationship of the Duke of Wei, he also had a lot of involvement with other nobles in Nanjing City, basically 'eating the plaintiff and eating the defendant', but as long as he passed through the Dinghuai Gate, whether it was a caravan or something else, he could 'pluck the goose'.
But at this time, Zhang Dingguo did not stay in his comfortable public room to enjoy his afternoon refreshment, but came to the head of Dinghuaimen City to inspect, pacing back and forth a little irritably, and frequently looking to the northwest.
For Zhang Dingguo, his life in the past few days has been more exciting than his life.
I thought that he was born as a big-headed soldier, and he had eaten bloody rice for more than ten years, and he had mixed all the way here, so he could be regarded as having seen a big storm and waves, who would have thought about it...... In this seemingly invisible and intangible struggle, it is no less cruel than the battlefield......
He arrived in Nanjing not long before the new emperor Zhu Cihong ascended the throne, and now he calculates that it is only a little over a year, but in this short period of more than a year......
In a trance, the sounds and sensuality, wine and delicacies of the past, like a movie, flashed in his mind over and over again, but at this time, he not only did not have any nostalgia for this, but was indescribably disgusted, hated, and regretted!
"Wow, donkey ball, I knew it earlier, I knew that it was not good for Lao Tzu to stay in Huaixi with peace of mind, why did you have to come to this prosperous Nanjing. Under the prosperity, the guillotine wow......"
Zhang Dingguo suddenly closed his eyes in pain, but subconsciously opened them violently and looked ahead carefully.
At this time, twilight has gradually fallen, but in the familiar scenery of the past, there are no bustling merchants and pedestrians, and there is not even a single human hair in sight.
Zhang Dingguo is a little demonic, as if in these grasses and behind the big trees, there are real Manchurian tartars with bright armor everywhere, and they are about to be killed.
"What the hell should I do?"
"What the hell should I do......"
Zhang Dingguo was like a fish thrown ashore, almost suffocating, and he couldn't help himself anymore.
"Shuai Ye, someone from the Five Cities Terracotta Division is looking for you, saying that it is your old friend......
In a panic, suddenly a pro-soldier came over to report quickly.
Zhang Dingguo subconsciously shuddered, and only came back to his senses after a while, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help revealing an extremely complicated wry smile.
Finally.
It's finally here.
He could only hold up his spirits and said lightly: "I know, let them wait for a while, and I will go over immediately." ”
"Yes."
After the soldiers left, Zhang Dingguo closed his eyes painfully again, but he could only open them quickly, and glanced at the most familiar scenery with great nostalgia, and only mentioned it a few times before lifting the legs that seemed to be filled with lead, which seemed to be calm, but under the background of this sunset, he walked towards the city gate tower with indescribable desolation and vastness.
No surprises.
Arriving in the room of the gatehouse, he saw again the charming woman he never wanted to see again.
As soon as the woman saw his bitter and hateful expression, she couldn't help but laugh, and stepped forward to hold his arm gently, "Master, what's wrong with you?" That's a great thing. What do you do with a sad face? Tomorrow, it's not just me Liu Yun, this girl on the Qinhuai River, isn't it up to you to choose? ”
The shopkeeper next to him also smiled: "Master Zhang, this is a great achievement." Just wait for it to be done, don't talk about a mere woman, Lord Belle has already said it, and it's okay to give you the title of king. ”“……”
Zhang Dingguo was silent for a while.
If he had a choice, he would definitely draw his knife without hesitation and directly kill the pair of dog men and women in front of him, but it's a pity...... He's not in good shape.
has already been manipulated by others......
In case the matter is exposed, it's nothing if he dies, it's just a hundred, but~, his sin is not an exaggeration to be punished by the Nine Clans!
If it's because of his own precious son......
Zhang Dingguo didn't dare to think about it anymore.
The shopkeeper seemed to be able to see through Zhang Dingguo's heart, and smiled casually: "By the way, Master Zhang, there is something I have to remind you." If your movements are not sloppy and clean, and you are preempted by the Shijun Gate of Jiangdong Gate, your merits will be greatly reduced. ”
"What?"
Zhang Dingguo was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened incredulously: "Shi Shangkuana, that bastard, he also ......"
"Huh."
The shopkeeper smiled in control: "Master Zhang, my Daqing has occupied the general trend of the world at this time, and the situation is under control, and there are many people who want to take refuge in my Daqing!" ”
“……”
Zhang Dingguo was silent for a while.
Immediately, his expression was full of hideousness.
Shi Shangkuan, the guard of Jiangdong Gate, is also the deputy chief soldier, and the two of them are also from Huaixi to a certain extent, and they have fought openly and secretly all their lives, and they are iron enemies and mortal enemies!
If it is really Shi Shangkuan......
Zhang Dingguo even forgot his fear, gritted his teeth and said: "Shi Shangkuan, this dog eats empty salaries and drinks the blood of soldiers, and there are at most 3,000 people in Jiangdongmen, what can he do?" ”
The shopkeeper and Liu Yun glanced at each other, and Liu Yunjiao smiled and said: "Master, the slave and maid naturally trust you more, and the Great Qing Kingdom also trusts you more, otherwise, the slave and maid will not serve you, but Shi Shangkuan......
These words made Zhang Dingguo's heart feel a lot more comfortable.
Even if he doesn't like Liu Yun anymore, he can't deny that Liu Yun, the little fox, is definitely the most beautiful woman he has ever slept with, almost no one.
"Master Dong, when will you do it? I still have some things to deal with, and a few of my subordinates don't listen to them. ”
After thinking for a while, Zhang Dingguo looked at the shopkeeper in a deep voice.
The shopkeeper immediately gave him a thumbs up: "Master Zhang, choose that wisely." But don't rush it, just get ready before the hour. Let's do it on time! ”
Zhang Dingguo was clever, hesitated for a moment, and still asked: "Dong Ye, you, tell you the truth, how many heavenly soldiers are there in the Great Qing Kingdom?" ”
"Huh."
The shopkeeper smiled indifferently: "10,000 elite soldiers take the lead!" As long as you can stick to Dinghuai Gate for one day, tomorrow night, the main force of my Qing Heavenly Soldiers will arrive! At that time, Lord Belle will be there in person! Oh yes, maybe, Prince Yu, Prince Zheng and other masters, and even the regent, will come over in person! ”
Even though he understood that there was moisture in the shopkeeper's words, it still made Zhang Dingguo feel a lot more at ease, and what he wanted was nothing more than this psychological comfort.
Seeing that Zhang Dingguo's mood was stabilizing, the shopkeeper glanced at Liu Yun, Liu Yun stepped forward with a smile and grabbed Zhang Dingguo's arm, and said coquettishly: "Master, there are people under you who don't obey the call, it just so happens that Dong Ye is here, let's figure out a way together." Don't forget, we're down there, and there are a lot of good players to help out. ”
"Whew."
Zhang Ding breathed a sigh of relief, and fiercely attacked Liu Yun's Jiao. pinched his buttocks, and Liu Yun exclaimed, "In this case, I will take advantage of dinner to come to the military meeting and take the opportunity to deal with all the disobedient people!" ”
Shopkeeper and Liu Yun glanced at each other again, the excitement was about to overflow, but they were just about to speak.
"Squeak!"
At this moment, the closed door was suddenly pushed open, and a person who the three of them couldn't think of walked in with a smile.
"Hehe, it's quite a job. Dong Zhenyue Dong Ye, you are really a good means! ”
Luo Xiushen said, looking at Liu Yun's graceful figure with interest, "If you take out all the stunners of this level, you are really willing to pay for it." Dong Ye, this is not your concubine, right? Do you like cuckolds so much? ”
"You?!"
Zhang Dingguo, Dong Zhenyue, and Liu Yun were instantly petrified.
After a while, Dong Zhenyue reacted in horror: "Luo Xiushen, you, how did you find here?" Could it be Du Guoliang?! This dog is crumb, Lao Tzu must peel it and cramp it!! ”
Luo Xiushen smiled and waved his hand and said, "Master Dong, don't get excited, it's not good to be heard." Hey, Du Guoliang, what do you want to do? ”
"Huh?"
Dong Zhenyue and the three of them subconsciously looked in the direction of Luo Xiu's head.
"Bang!"
But before the three of them could react, an extremely athletic figure suddenly rushed in from the darkness outside, and put Dong Zhenyue down with one punch.
Zhang Dingguo just wanted to draw a knife here, but he was directly strangled by his neck like lightning, and a dagger had already cut his neck, "Be honest, dare to move and kill you!" ”
Liu Yun here was just about to scream in horror, but he was already suffocated to the ground by Luo Xiu's punch.
Luo Xiu's body is not as good as the black shadow's skills, but there is no problem in bringing down Liu Yun.
"You, you ......"
Zhang Dingguo's soul was about to be scared away, and he couldn't stop trembling.
How did you think that I finally made up my mind, but in an instant, it was turned upside down......
"Master, there's a general coming over from outside."
At this time, someone suddenly came over quickly to report.
Luo Xiushen and Qiang Ye glanced at each other, and Qiang Ye nodded.
Luo Xiushen sneered, stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Dingguo's cheek: "The surname is Zhang, you are a dog who is not as good as a beast, I won't say anything about what the hell you have done to lack morality." But our Hou Ye is a hero, with a heart for the whole world, and he knows that you are here, and he has no choice but to do so. It's not easy for you dog mongrel to get up from the bottom, Hou Ye Nian You have also shed blood for my Daming, and you have sold your life, and decided to give you another chance! It's up to you to see if you use it! ”
"Whew."
Zhang Dingguo exhaled a long breath with great difficulty, and said tremblingly: "Luo, Luo, Luo, you, you mean, the sea, the marquis of Haicheng......"
"Nonsense!"
"If it weren't for the Marquis of Haicheng, Lao Tzu would have skinned you and filled the grass a long time ago!"
As he spoke, Luo Xiushen directly took out Xu Changqing's gold medal arrow, shook it in front of Zhang Dingguo's eyes, and quickly withdrew it.
This was brought by Wang Xi, just to take it out to the town in order to have a special emergency that he couldn't deal with.
"This, this, this ......"
Zhang Dingguo couldn't breathe at all, and he had more air in and less air for a while, but fortunately, he understood that the current choice was extremely critical, and he hurriedly said: "The Marquis of Haicheng can, you can make sure that you don't kill me......"
"Huh."
Luo Xiushen sneered: "The reputation of the Marquis of Haicheng, you must have heard of it, right?" Who is Master Hou, and why did he break his word to you? As long as you make the right choice, Hou Ye will ensure that you go to the south to become a rich man! ”
At this time, someone outside came quickly, but stopped at the door and did not come in.
Master Qiang was busy glancing at Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiushen said coldly: "I'll count three, you still have one last chance!" Three, two......"
Luo Xiu's 'two' word has not fallen, Zhang Dingguo's legs have been weak, and he subconsciously collapsed on the ground, "Luo Ye, Luo Ye, lowly duty, lowly duty, all the head of the Marquis of Haicheng is the ......"
Seeing Zhang Dingguo paralyzed on the ground like mud, Luo Xiushen and Qiang Ye glanced at each other, and they breathed an indescribable sigh of relief.
It's done!
The risk of their trip is definitely several times greater than that of Dong Zhenyue and Liu Yun, because Dong Zhenyue and they have already arranged and someone has responded, but they are pure 'deceitful city', and they are in the fire!
At this time, the two didn't seem to have time to communicate, and the strong master made a gesture to Luo Xiushen, and went out quickly, waiting for him to fight the fire outside.
