Another morning had arrived, and the rising sun was still pouring light and heat on the land as it had done before.

It's just that compared with the lively morning in Jinyang, Yangxia City seems much more deserted, even if you can still see some business travelers and people who go out to work, but the footsteps of everyone who enters and leaves the city gate seem a little heavy, for them life may be just a kind of mechanical numbness, rather than something more meaningful or worth remembering.

The city is still functioning, but the situation here is jaw-dropping compared to even half a year ago.

Li Goudan is one of the many city guards in the city, but he is also a somewhat uncommon member.

It's not that he's not ordinary because he has an interesting-sounding name, in fact he has a big name like Li Ke, but because his nickname is so distinctive, people are more accustomed to calling him by his nickname and gradually forget his big name - even if he has emphasized it repeatedly, but now he is powerless to refute it.

What really sets him apart is that he is one of the few dozen former Chen Wangpet's subordinates in the city defense army, although he was only a general archer commander at the time, but in that cruel and tragic battle, he not only survived, but also managed to blend in with the city defense army not long after returning to the city where he was born.

Of course, this does not mean that our-classmate intends to join the ranks of the enemy of the people and become a traitor to the people, in fact, this is a plan that a former captain under the command of Chen Wangzhong came up with - undercover. Undercover into the enemy, trying to deal a fatal blow to the enemy from the inside, after all, even if they don't know that "any fortress can be breached from the inside", they must know better, and it is obvious that it is easier for the inner ghost to approach their target than an unknown outsider.

In addition to the dozens of Yangxia locals under the former Chen Wangpet, there are also more than 20 brave and fat people who have similar thoughts to him, not only to avenge Chen Wangpet and Chen Xiangjun who once protected their stable life, but also to avenge those relatives or neighbors who were tortured by military disasters.

They had to endure the ridicule and teasing of those veterans of Yuan Shujun on weekdays, and they also had to endure the curses of some neighbors and friends who knew each other but did not understand them. But they don't think they're doing anything wrong. In the words of those "masters", "If you want to take revenge, you always have to endure a little hardship, especially when the other party is still very strong, you have to endure it desperately."

In fact, after a long time and people have calmed down, Li Goudan also understands. Those of themselves who endure and wait like this may just be doing useless work. And the reason why they are willing to endure it like this is just to seek a spiritual sustenance.

After all, if Yuan Shu can really rule here for ten or twenty years. If you say another thirty or fifty years, not to mention that the people of their generation have already turned into a pile of soil, and their descendants have long been accustomed to the rule of Yuan Shu. Most people will probably be content with the status quo and be a "obedient people", and even their children, grandchildren, and neighbors will use them as a doorway, hoping to squeeze into Yuan Shujun's team.

Yes, the human heart is terrible, and the turn of the human heart is very important for any ruler. But in the same way, time is also terrible, terrible, and as long as there is enough time, any hatred will eventually turn into nothingness. Because what most people need is a stable life, not the so-called vigorous - anyway, anyone can provide a peaceful and peaceful life, and why should they dwell on what happened five or ten years ago, which will not only add to the troubles, but also break the tranquility that has been restored.

Every time he thinks of this, Li Goudan always has a feeling of self-deprecation, he feels a little lost, especially in the recent period, although it is a little lifeless, but Yangxia has indeed returned to the calm of the past, even if this calm looks like a pool of stagnant water, but it is also a peaceful life, it is always better than the neighboring Yingchuan has been ploughed over by the team of I don't know how many families since the beginning of the yellow scarf, and even the once glorious dock forts of those high-gate lords have become broken ruins and rubble.

Li Goudan was even thinking that if this situation continued for another two or three years, he would retreat from the city defense army, and if he couldn't retreat, he would have to slip away, whether it was to Yizhou or Xiliang, he would always find a way to make a living. He doesn't want to disturb the peace of his neighbors anymore because of his own reasons, but he also has backbone, and he doesn't want to serve the enemy, so it's better to go away.

He also told people around him about this idea, and as he expected, there were those who agreed with it, and naturally there were those who opposed it. However, it seems that there are not many people who oppose it, and there are fewer and fewer people, and people continue to "mutiny" into his camp.

If it is a team of more than 100 people, I don't know if you can mix in Yizhou or Xiliang to get a position of 100 people?

Thinking about it this way, the nostalgia of saying goodbye to my hometown seems to have faded a lot.

Yes, for an ordinary person whose parents are dead and there is no family background, the excitement outside will always be particularly attractive.

However, it seems that Godan's ideas will not come true, because a group of unexpected people break into his life.

At the end of the shift, with a team reward that is said to be a few small coins from the upper hair, and a few small coins hidden in the hem of the trousers, the dog couldn't help but grin, it was a very honest smile, and all the smiles he showed when he thought about life were completely different, this smile was not only honest on the surface, but also hidden from the bottom of his heart.

With this bit of bounty and the pocket money he has saved, he probably doesn't have to drink those sour village mashes today, but can enjoy a little bit of delicious liquor, presumably those friends must be very envious of themselves. It's a pity that they have had their own things recently, so naturally they can't get the rare reward this time, although even if they do, they probably won't get much like themselves.

Humming out of tune from a small liquor shop that is not too large and a little remote in the place, Li Goudan looks no different from the usual state after work, if there is any difference. That is, his current mood seems to be a little too good, and from time to time he raises the small crockpot in his hand and puts it under the tip of his nose, and then shows a satisfied smile.

That smile always feels obscene in the eyes of outsiders.,But because you don't have to worry about parents taking their children out for a walk nearby.,Naturally, don't worry about those parents covering the eyes of Little Lori or Little Zhengtai to speed up and escape.。

Of course, there is no need to worry about someone pointing at him and shouting "Uncle Policeman, this is the person" or something.

But after a few steps, Li Goudan's trajectory began to deviate from his usual course of action, and although the new route was not far from the direction of his house, it would definitely not coincide. Afterwards. In the slums of the city, the narrow and winding path turned around for a long time. Li Goudan finally stopped in front of an ordinary-looking thatched hut.

The thatched hut looked a little low, just like its neighbors, the thatch on the roof was black and bright brownish, and the yellow mud on the walls was flowing with the traces of time because of the magic of time. The wooden door that separates the two worlds inside and outside the house looks as if a gust of wind can blow it down. So in order to avoid this phenomenon from happening. There are a lot of large and small gaps and holes in the door panels.

Even in Yangxia City, which has experienced catastrophe, such a house can be regarded as a relatively dilapidated grade.

"I really admire that they can find such a place, God knows that the heavy rain half a month ago did not rot this dilapidated house. That way, I don't have to drill a dog hole every time I come here, what if I run into my 'heart baby'. ”

While complaining to himself, he carefully observed the movements around him, and when he was sure that there was nothing to pay attention to, the dog breathed a sigh of relief, and then stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on the door panel that seemed to poke a hole with a little bit of strength - buckle ~, buckle ~, buckle ~, buckle ~, buckle ...... Two long and one short, then one long and one short, and then there was no sound.

Waiting quietly outside, the dog is not in a hurry, although the voice is light and fluttering, the ears are slightly back or there is some noise in the ears, it is easy to ignore the past, but the dog knows that the people in the house will never miss this even a very slight sound.

Because, Li Goudan has been here many times, but not once on a business trip!

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the dog to wait, the wooden door made a tooth-sore sound, although the angle of rotation could not let the rising sunlight into the room, and it was still pitch black inside, but the dog knew what to do when he took it.

Walking into the thatched hut that looked empty, whether someone would greet him or not, he walked through the front of the hall and into the inner room, laboriously removed a mahogany box that had been placed in the corner of the room, which had lost most of the patent leather, and without hesitation stepped into the hole that seemed to be the open mouth of a beast that could devour a qiē.

Even though he said that, every time he walked in here and passed through that darkness, it still made Dogdan's heart jump violently, as if he hadn't walked into some secret passage, but really walked into the mouth of some terrifying beast.

Of course he knew it was just his delusion, and he wasn't really the kind of person who was really timid, but the feeling of discomfort couldn't be changed, as if he always liked to think about things on weekdays, and then always felt that those fantasies could really come.

"Haha~ Just now I was thinking who was so generous, I could smell the fragrance of the hungry dead from afar, it turned out to be our doggy brother. Good brother, enough buddy, morality, there are good things to know to bring to the brothers to taste~"

People are still in the dark, and they hear a cheerful sound coming from the depths of the darkness.

Hearing this voice, a slight smile bloomed on the dog's originally slightly blue face, and the hands holding the small jar involuntarily tightened, as if the jar treasure in his hand would disappear in the next moment if he didn't do so.

Well, in fact, there is no problem in saying this, because after not taking a few steps, the dog felt a strong wind blowing through his ears, if it wasn't for him tightly hugging the small jar in his arms, maybe in the next moment, the huge force from his arm could snatch the jar away.

"You damn Sledgehammer! This thing is precious, just you, a stubborn cow, you can see the bottom in one breath. In the words of Kong Yiji, a poor scholar at the west entrance of the city, it was called 'more, not more'. Hear no, not much! ”

"I don't call Wang Dazhui, I call Wang Chui, and the poor scholar at the west entrance of the village is not called Kong Yiji, people call him Kong Rong! You're a dog. Are you sure you won't be caught by a little girl who came out of nowhere, somewhere ordinary people can't fall to the ground? Or someone suddenly burst into your house and stole all your valuable belongings and savings, and you were saddled with huge debts. ”

"It's a big deal to go to a rich family as a housekeeper, maybe if you're lucky, you can meet a beautiful and cute little noble girl who has a bad temper, and then boil the old man to death, inherit the family property, make great contributions, and be named Duke × ○ by the emperor!"

"Then you can survive the torture of being kicked to death by 100,000 horses."

"Ahem, don't say much, I'm not here to make small talk with you this time. How's everything going, give me a letter. ”

"In the days after that, he wrapped a white cloth around his left arm. The slogan 'Eradicate Yuan Rebellion'. You are responsible for informing your comrades over there. ”

"Can it really work? The last time Zhao Da and the others tried, they were all caught after a while. ”

"Don't worry, this time it's enough for us to make some trouble, you know it or not. This time except for us. There are several other organizations that think like us and are ready to take advantage of the situation. Even the big families in the city didn't seem to be able to sit still this time, and sent someone to contact me secretly, although they were still very careful in their words. But there was some urgency between the words. ”

"That's a good dare, I originally thought that I would not be able to avenge the king and Lord Xiangguo in this life, but I didn't expect it, woo woo woo ......"

"Don't cry, don't cry, be like a man! But don't be too happy, I suspect it's not that simple this time. ”

"My lord, what do you mean......" If you say that on weekdays, Goudan and the other party are all equals, but in fact, the other party was a military marquis under Chen Wangpet, and he was a big official that Goudan had to look up to no matter how hard he tried, in fact, Goudan and others joined the city defense army It was from this person's handwriting, so when talking about business, Goudan always unconsciously returned to the relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Of course, the same is true for Wang Chui. Maybe it's only at this time that he can recall the majesty of the beginning.

"I estimate that the reason why there are people in a hurry to launch this time, and there are so many forces willing to participate, is just afraid that there are people behind it."

"Anyone?" In addition to a handful of strength, the dog only has the unique cunning of the natives, but if it comes to vision and vision, there is really nothing commendable, unless someone can turn his simple cunning into systematic knowledge.

"Well, I think it's from the north. Didn't you say it before, it seems that the north is preparing to fight Yuan Yi again. ”

"Yes, yes, I remember, that's exactly what our captain said before. And if it weren't for the fact that someone came from the north, I wouldn't have paid the reward today, and I wouldn't have come to you with this jar of things. ”

"That's it, the people in the north don't know why they are not afraid of Yuan Shun suddenly, but it is estimated that there is still no bottom in their hearts, so they want us to rush to the front, and because of this, those big families will be so active this time, otherwise they will rely on their group of lords who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, if no outsiders come in, they may fall to Yuan Shun if they stand up."

"I don't care who comes, I'm an orphan anyway, if it weren't for the king, I would have frozen to death on the streets. The king has the grace of reinvention for me, and the minister of the country is also a rare good official, and the surrounding business travelers were very envious of us, so I just need to take revenge! ”

"Well, that's right. But you don't have to be too prominent at the beginning, don't fold yourself like Zhao Da. Wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and then you can find a chance to show yourself, if you can enter the eyes of any adult, it is better than staying here with no future city guards. You're a slippery guy who can't make a big deal but can mix well with the average person. ”

"Hehe, then borrow your auspicious words, if you can get a daughter-in-law at that time, you must invite the adult to be a guest. Well, when the time comes, you must drink such a liquor wine, together with you, the adults, and the little third son, if you don't get drunk, you won't return......"

Drinking the sweetness of Liqi, the two men sat in the dark cave like this, but imagined a bright future.

And at this time, what about these two people who imagine a better future?

In other words, in this cruel era, if even this beautiful imagination space is deprived, then for most ordinary people, what is the joy of life? It's better to choose death, at least to get a quiet rest.

Time flies by like this, but this rushed time, for some people. But it's a little hard.

Finally......

"After so many days of preparation, these people are finally willing to do it, and this speed is really anxious."

"It's really not easy to gather them together, let alone those powerful families who can't keep their hands."

"But it's finally moved, but unfortunately they may not know, in addition to the fact that we are rushing here, Ji Ling's troops are not far from here, if Zhang Xun was not attracted by Meng De's side, none of them may survive."

"My lord, you can be in this Yangxia City now. Is that really the right thing to say? ”

"Although I am not wrong here. But even if I really stand here, do those soldiers of Yuan Shujun really have the ability to hurt me, I have absolute confidence in you, and I believe that you will never let me down. ”

"No, no, no. Even if you say such handsome words, but if you are set on fire, no matter how tough you are, you won't be able to do it. ”

"I really didn't find it. Fengxiao, you still have the potential to become a Tucao service. ”

"Even if you don't have the basic common sense of what the lord said, it's because you have mastered it."

These merger troops who had infiltrated the city seemed to be easy. They didn't really care about what the situation in the city would turn into, except for Yang Fu and Sima Yi, who were entrusted with the "important task", where they led Li Shushi to their subordinates to do their work, the rest of the people "appreciated" the scenes that happened in the vicinity with a mentality of watching the play.

Naturally, they don't need to worry about anything. Because this time it seemed that things were a bit big, completely out of the expectations of the defenders of Yangxia City, so that in the face of smoke everywhere in the city, all they could do was to be exhausted.

Oh, by the way, there are still some "inner ghosts" among the defenders in the city, which makes the information obtained by the defenders even more difficult to distinguish between true and false, and they are confused.

No matter what the city will look like in the future, it looks like it will be irreversible at least tonight.

Whether it is Li Goudan, who is constantly using the cover of terrain to kill the "colleagues" who worked together for the past six months, or Xie Bi, who is standing not far from Li Shushi, and the old people of the Xie family behind him, they are all so happy in their hearts.

The unprepared enemy could no longer form an effective whole under their sudden large-scale blows, and coupled with the people who came out to help in the war from time to time, the defenders left in Yangxia by Yuan Shujun's army seemed to have really fallen into the vast sea of people's war.

"My lord, it seems that this time it is going very smoothly, the enemy army can no longer hold on, and they are retreating to the county office."

With an unnatural flush on his face, Li Goudan excitedly reported to Wang Chui. However, because his face was stained with a thick layer of black ash, it covered up the original color of his face, and people could only feel his excitement through his voice.

"Well, contact the people from several other aspects, and we will hunt the county government together! As long as we can capture the county government before outsiders come, then we will be qualified to talk to those guys about the future of Yangxia, even if we can't become the county commander and lieutenant here, at least let us become an army of our own, and when the time comes, we can also be promoted if we have to look at other people's faces! ”

Wang Chui also looked very excited, and the hands holding the dog's shoulders could see obvious tremors.

Yes, what happened tonight is indeed worthy of such a mood. After all, he was a military marquis of the army under the dignified Chen Wangzhong, and he was Cheng Dù, who had already stepped into the middle-level officer. Even if you may not be able to give such a status to other forces in the future, as long as you are not too unlucky, you can still get a good starting point.

However, the traitor Yuan Shu not only invaded Chen State and killed the two supreme leaders of Chen State, but also ignored most of them, the subordinates of the former Chen Wangpet, and even adopted an attitude of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.

Although it was only half a year, the experience of going from heaven to hell still filled Wang Chui's heart with hatred.

Today, the time for revenge has finally arrived.

Today, the time for reckoning has finally arrived.

Looking at the army of people around him, if it weren't for the fact that the occasion was really inappropriate, Wang Chui really wanted to laugh out loud at this time, facing the night sky, facing his subordinates, and even more so at the enemy who had made him feel humiliated.

Yuan Shujun's lackeys, let you taste the anger that the people of our Chen County have accumulated for more than half a year!

Panson: Farewell, my cute big chicken legs. Goodbye, my favorite braised pork. Farewell, my hardest part of the chicken stew with mushrooms. I'll be back again to pamper you! (To be continued......)
