Chapter 456: Chaoyangmen!
In the midst of the chaos, night gradually fell, and light snow began to fall in the sky again.
In fact, it can't be called snow, it's more like fine ice slag.
After all, the Jingshi is very large, with a million people, very popular, and the smell of fireworks is also strong, just like a cold snap in the north, as soon as it touches the fireworks in the sky above the Jingshi, it is solidified all of a sudden.
This also further reduces the already poor visibility at night.
"Dashuai, there seems to be something wrong with Dongzhimen, there are a lot of spies of thieves, and they are all fierce, they clearly don't want us to pass, just a face-to-face, we have broken three brothers here."
In the north of the model army battle array, near Chaoyang Gate, Xu Changqing was pinching the ice slag on the ground with his waist to check it carefully, and Ergou hurried over and reported to Xu Changqing in a low voice.
"Huh?"
Xu Changqing's brows suddenly furrowed, "How many people are there?" β
Ergou hurriedly said: "At least one hundred and eighty, this is still on the surface, and I am afraid there are more secretly." Dashuai, the situation is a little bad! β
Xu Changqing nodded slowly, and after a moment, he said coldly: "Ergou, you don't have to keep an eye on Dongzhimen in person, take care of the situation in the north and south of our camp for me, the wind and grass are blowing, and you must send it over as soon as possible!" β
"Huh? Dashuai, then, Wu Ye's ......"
"Wu Sanfu, I'll arrange it freely! Two dogs, be smart! β
"Yes!"
Ergou suddenly became smart, bowed straightly, didn't ask more, and left quickly.
Watching the second dog leave, Xu Changqing let out a long breath, and under the flickering firelight not far away, it turned into a wisp of white smoke in an instant.
It's not that Xu Changqing doesn't trust Wu Sanfu, but in this state, he will move his whole body as soon as he is involved, and if he is not careful, he will never recover!
I can't help Xu Changqing carelessly!
Compared with the second dog who grew up with a bare ass since he was a child and can understand with one eye, Wu Sanfu obviously has to stay behind.
Here, the red lady hurriedly greeted her again, took out a fresh mutton patty that was still hot from her arms, and stuffed it into Xu Changqing's hand, "You've been busy all day, let's eat something to cushion your stomach first?" β
As he spoke, he handed Xu Changqing a pot of wine.
After today's change of defense, the Red Lady Department has been changed to the west side of Chaoyang Gate, and if an accident occurs, they will be the main force of the second wave.
Xu Changqing took the mutton patty and took a bite of it, and immediately his mouth was full of meaty aroma, especially the rich juice, which made people want to stop.
But this is not the practice of the firefighters in the army, but the practice of the Central Plains, the firefighters pay attention to practicality, it is impossible to leave juice, even if this is not made by the red lady herself, it is also carefully prepared by the people around her, Xu Changqing suddenly felt warm in his heart.
After eating this mutton patty in three or two, and pouring a few more sips of wine, Xu Changqing said in a low voice: "Sister Hong, you should also hurry up and eat something, take care of your spirits, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful tonight." β
"Hmm."
The red lady bit her red lip hard, wanted to say something, but didn't say much, glanced at Xu Changqing affectionately, and no longer bothered Xu Changqing, and left quickly.
Xu Changqing looked up at the sky, and under the faint moonlight, there were fine pieces sprinkled everywhere, as if to isolate the heaven and the earth.
Immediately, Xu Changqing looked in the direction of Chaoyang Gate again, although the fluttering firelight was still vigorous, and although the patrol of the Beijing camp was still quite responsible, Xu Changqing always had a very bad premonition.
In a moment, Xu Changqing's momentum suddenly froze, and he greeted Li Qilang loudly.
"Humble duty!"
Li Qilang is also busy with a spinning top today, his eyes are a little sunken, Xu Changqing, the commander of the guards, is not easy to be, he is also the commander of the guards and the secretary, and at the same time he has to do some work as the chief general.
But at this time, Xu Changqing didn't have time to be polite with Li Qilang, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Qilang, you go to Chaoyangmen in person now and tell Vice General Liu that I will invite him to dinner tonight!" If he doesn't comeβ"
Xu Changqing paused, "Drag him down!" If necessary, change the private space and take him down! β
Li Qilang's pupils shrank sharply, and his breathing was a little disordered, but he came back to his senses for a moment, and his eyes were resolute: "Yes!" β
Watching Li Qilang and more than a dozen people quickly sweep towards the direction of Chaoyangmen, Xu Changqing, who was standing in the wind and snow, his eyes became more and more cold!
Strike first, then scare people!
At this time, there are many things, and it is no wonder that he Xu Changqing is ruthless!
β¦β¦
Inside the Chaoyang Gate Tower.
Vice General Liu was eating freshly roasted whole sheep with more than a dozen major generals under his command over a fire.
At this time, although there was already a shortage of materials in the Beijing Division, prices were soaring, and the people were struggling to make a living, it obviously did not affect Vice General Liu.
In particular, Vice General Liu's guarding Chaoyangmen is directly related to the safety of the inner city, to put it bluntly, it is necessary to contain Xu Changqing, and the supply is even better than ordinary people.
It's just that, compared with usual, Vice General Liu usually prepares good wine for treats, but today, the wine is obviously a little less.
Of the dozen or so people present, the lowest was also a guerrilla, and there were two deputy generals, who were at the same level as Vice General Liu.
This is also the general state of Jingying.
There are many deputies like dogs, but there are few main generals.
Even if Vice President Liu exercises the rights and functions of the general army, in name, he is still a deputy general.
There are many reasons for this, and I will not list them in detail here, but if Deputy Liu is asked to send everyone to the nine sides or the local area as the chief soldier, I am afraid that no one will choose it like this.
At this time, although Vice General Liu is the guard of Chaoyangmen, there are only a few henchmen, and those who can control it will be half.
"Hehe, Master Liu, the brothers are in a good mood today, and they finally got a few fresh live sheep, why don't you order more good wine to make the brothers happy?"
Here, after drinking for a while, everyone had just whetted their appetites, and suddenly found that the wine was gone, and one of the old opponents at the same level as Vice General Liu was talking with thorns.
Vice General Liu had expected it, and said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, it's not that I'm stingy with my brother, don't you know what our situation is now?" There's a tiger around you! Today, let's drink less. After the thieves are driven away, I will go to Mingyue Tower to set up wine and treat the brothers well, how about it? β
"Haha, Liu Ye is righteous!"
"Master Liu, I heard that the new Oiran Sayuri of the Moon Tower is very good."
"Follow Liu Ye, our benefits are indispensable......"
The people on Vice General Liu's side immediately coaxed to set off the atmosphere.
But Vice General Zhang and a few people around him were obviously a little unhappy.
However, Vice General Zhang is not good at tearing his face in public with Vice General Liu at this time, although there are people behind everyone, it is obvious that the people behind Vice General Liu are stronger at this time.
At this time, another deputy general Lu hurriedly came out to play a round and smiled: "Isn't it just wine?" Hehe. I'll come out, I'll come out, everyone is their own brother, don't hurt the peace for this little thing, right? β
As he spoke, he beckoned to his soldiers: "Little Lizi, go, bring another twenty pots of wine." β
"Yes."
Watching the soldiers go to get the wine, the atmosphere gradually recovered.
But here, Vice General Lu made eye contact with Vice General Liu.
For a moment, a chuckle suddenly appeared on the corner of Vice General Liu's mouth, but Vice General Lu hurriedly lowered his head with a slight humility.
Soon, twenty pots of wine were going to be made again, and Vice General Zhang and others were a lot of drunk, and when Vice General Liu was about to order the people who had been ambushed for a long time, there was a sudden report from the soldiers outside: "Master, the model army is coming, it is Li Qilang, the commander of the Chinese army's personal guards, saying that Uncle Zhongyi wants to invite you to drink." β
"Huh?"
"Uncle Zhongyi wants to invite Liu Ye to drink?"
The room suddenly made a slight noise, and they all looked at Vice General Liu, with doubts and envy.
After all, although they are guarding against Xu Changqing, Xu Changqing's reputation has already spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, who doesn't know that it is only a matter of time before they can climb Xu Changqing's high branches and be promoted to become rich.
But Vice General Liu's heart gradually became sweaty!
Is Xu Changqing a dog? The nose is so clever!
But Xu Changqing invited him to drink, and Li Qilang, the commander of the guards, came over in person, so he couldn't help but be lazy, and got up with a smile and said, "Everyone drink first, I'll go and drink." Who, then, the second king, go, and bring some wine for the brethren! β
"Haha, Liu Ye is righteous."
In the compliments of everyone's thoughts, Vice General Liu swallowed his saliva, carefully came outside, and climbed the city wall.
Seeing that Li Qilang was watching him from under the city with more than a dozen people, the breath from their mouths and noses quickly condensed into white smoke.
As soon as Li Qilang saw Vice General Liu, he pretended to be angry and didn't fight: "Master Liu, what do you mean by this?" Feelings, my handsome family invites you to drink, don't you open the city gate for the gentlemen, let the gentlemen go in to warm up? β
Vice General Liu hurriedly smiled and said, "Master Li, where are you talking about this?" No, isn't this all according to the rules? If you come during the day, how dare we not open the gates for you? Now it's a big night......"
Li Qilang has been by Xu Changqing's side for so long, he has already been extremely clear, as soon as he heard Vice General Liu's words, he understood, Xu Changqing saw it too accurately, Vice General Liu not only has a problem, but also a big problem!
couldn't help but say coldly: "What? Master Liu, my handsome family invited you to drink, don't you still want to move? β
Since Vice General Liu did not answer this question openly, Li Qilang slapped him directly in the face.
"Huh."
Vice General Liu hurriedly smiled and said: "Master Li, you are joking, Uncle Zhongyi invites you, of course it is an honor to be here, but in the military affairs, you really can't leave." Master Li, do you think this will be possible? After a while, let's drive away the thieves, and in the best restaurant in Beijing, how about returning Uncle Zhongyi? β
Then Li Qilang said no matter what he said, Vice General Liu just didn't let go.
For a while, Li Qilang's cold sweat continued to pour out, the matter was already more serious than he imagined, and he didn't dare to ink, while informing a pro-soldier to quickly go back to report to Xu Changqing, he said coldly to Vice General Liu: "The surname Liu, you made it clear that you can't get along with me Li today, right?" β
"Master Li, this is also a business affair, even if I go to the court and see the Son of Heaven, I will still do this! If you offend, please also invite Li Ye Haihan! β
Saying that, Vice General Liu didn't dump Li Qilang directly, and turned around and went down the city wall.
"This. @#Β₯% of the child's birth! β
Even Li Qilang's city government couldn't hold it, and couldn't help but smack out fiercely.
But even though he only felt cold in his hands and feet, things seemed to have reached the worst level, and they were out of control......
Vice General Liu returned to the city gate tower, and he was still drinking hotly, and the leader of the family members who were in ambush around him hurriedly came over and asked in a low voice: "Master, what should I do?" β
"What should I do?"
"Cold salad!"
"Do it now! Over there with the surname Zhang, no one remains! β
"Yes!"
In a moment, dozens of fierce men armed with various sharp blades rushed directly into the room, slashing a few people with Deputy General Zhang, blood suddenly splashed, and there was a wail and a miserable howl, but it quickly quieted down!
In the pool of blood, Vice General Lu and several of his people were splashed with hot blood on their faces, and they were all stupid and trembling.
Vice General Liu strode in at this time, and said coldly: "Master Lu, Ming people don't say dark words, I, Liu, have already taken refuge in Dashun and King Chuang, you and your brother, do you want to follow my surname Liu to seek a good future in the new dynasty, glorify the ancestors, and seal the wife and son, or the same as this surnamed Zhang, you choose yourself!" β
"This ......"
Vice General Lu had actually noticed something wrong with Vice General Liu, but he was a good man, and he never thought of offending Vice General Liu, the chief general, but he didn't expect that this person surnamed Liu would be so ruthless and dare to do things so desperately......
