In Chapter 55, the past in the capital emerges, and the plan seeks a turnaround
In the year of Renyin, the second year of Chunyou of the Great Song Dynasty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In order to exterminate the Red Phoenix Army, Ogedai forcibly conscripted the Mongol tribes into the army, resulting in heavy losses.
Since then, the prestige of Wokotai has been swept away, and he has no longer the majestic ambition of the past, sitting in the palace, drinking and having fun, although the ministers are persuading each other, but they are helpless after all, so that the power is sidelined, and it is taken by Naimazhen.
Since then, led by the Batu people, they have their own dissenting intentions, so they led the western expeditionary army, and successively attacked and plundered large territories of the countries of Uras, Poreel, Mazar, etc., and later established the Kipchak Khanate to show the intention of dividing the court.
At this point, the Mongolian tribes appeared to be divided, and they no longer had the will to cooperate sincerely.
Subsequently, although the current Mongolian prime minister Yelu Chucai tried his best to maintain the status quo of the imperial court, he was helplessly old and physically exhausted, so he was chased by Naima Zhen, and since then he has stayed away from the imperial court and has no longer regained his former authority.
Previously, there was a Red Phoenix Army to confuse the Central Plains, which has stunned the people of the world, and then Li Pu's soldiers made dangerous moves, causing the situation in the Central Plains to collapse again.
Hearing this news, the Southern Dynasty ordered Meng Gong and Zhao Kui to command their soldiers to the Northern Expedition and reproduce the image of the unification of the mixed Yuan in the past.
From the north of the Huai River to the Yellow River, it fell into the beacon fire again, and I don't know when it will end.
As for the sixteen states of Yanyun, which have not been included in the realm of China since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms since Shi Jingjiao's actions, that is, in today's central capital, they have not been disturbed in the slightest, and the rebellion of the Red Phoenix Army in the past has only stopped at a hundred miles away, and it has little impact on the people in the city.
It was just because it was the cold time of autumn, so the people of the city also needed to start working on the matter of keeping warm from the cold, and went to buy warm clothes such as charcoal, cotton cloth, fur, etc.
And at this time, it is also the time when business opportunities gather,
Merchants who were difficult to see in the past have also traveled thousands of miles to transport their furs, cotton clothes, charcoal, grain and other things that they have harvested for many years to the central capital, such as medicinal herbs, silk, porcelain, lacquerware and other commodities are also gathered here, so as to get a piece of the pie in this big market.
And in order to explore the situation in the city, including Yu Wenwei, Cheng Feng, Xiao Yue, Xiao Xing and others, they also disguised themselves and blended into the city, so as to be fully prepared for the subsequent actions, so as not to encounter any dangerous situations on the way, or encounter unnecessary crises.
Walking in this city, Xiao Yue and Xiao Xing were both wearing thick clothes, each covering their own brilliance, in the eyes of others they were just a pair of ordinary sisters, just because they were greedy for the scenery in the city, so they walked out of the boudoir to see how the situation in the city was.
It's just that the two of them walked in this city, but they couldn't help but think of their childhood scenes.
Pursing his lips, Xiao Xing's eyes seemed to be longing, and under the flow of waves, he swept over the couple in front of him who was holding a girl in a yellow wet skirt, revealing some envy. The girl was probably begging the couple because she was greedy for sugar gourds, and although the couple was helpless, when they saw the girl's pleading eyes, they still took out the shriveled money bag in their arms and bought a few coins from it.
The money may have been earned by their hard work for many days.
Now for the sake of his daughter's joy, he took it out, but he can also spoil his daughter.
When Xiao Xing saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel emotional, pulled Xiao Yue, who was walking in front, and whispered: "Sister, how long do you say we haven't lived like this?"
"About ten years. Xiao Yuehao's wrist shook, and her eyes couldn't help but droop.
In her eyes, there was a vague memory, and she felt that at this time, she seemed to have returned to Xingqing Mansion, the place that carried her childhood memories.
And whenever the breeze was blowing, and the autumn was crisp, their father would take the two of them, accompanied by the servants of the house, to the streets, and if they wanted anything to eat, or to play with, or to see, they would take them all and play with them, from early morning until late afternoon.
However, all this is nothingness after all.
Xiao Xing couldn't help but sigh softly when he thought of the past scenes, and he was even more hesitant: "That's right. It's been ten years. How many decades are there in life?" Seeing the smiling faces of the people around her, she showed a little fear, after all, the Red Phoenix Army's actions were definitely not benevolent and virtuous, and they would definitely cause murder in the middle, and if these innocent people were to be killed again, what should they do?
"Do you miss your father?"
After Xiao Yue stood still, she held Xiao Xing in her arms.
From that thin body, she could feel the longing of her sister in her arms.
Xiao Xing whispered, "Hmm!" leaned her head back into her sister's arms, her eyes were already full of tears, tears moistened her clothes, and she missed her even more.
"I miss my father too. Xiao Yue looked at the hair that was blown away by the wind, so she couldn't help but stretch out her hand, smooth out the strand of hair, and re-hairpin it with a hairpin: "When we find a place to live, we will go back together to pay tribute to our father, okay?"
"Hmm!"
Xiao Xing nodded, as if he felt a little shy, so he pushed Xiao Yue away.
She straightened up her messed clothes, and regained the sassy hero she had before, but when she swept past the citizens next to her, a trace of apprehension rose in her heart and asked, "It's just my sister." Do you remember the treasure we took from the water puppet in the past?"
"Naturally remember, it's just sister, what do you want to do?" Xiao Yue couldn't help frowning, obviously she still had some mustard for the battle with the water puppet Yin Luosha.
"I did the math, and there wasn't much treasure left. But there are also 10,000 taels of gold and 90,000 taels of silver, and if we rely on these treasures, perhaps we can escape with the help of the merchants here, without using swords. Xiao Xing said slowly.
Xiao Yue was taken aback, and when she heard the disturbing shouts of the crowd around her, she already understood: "Do you want to use the sword?"
"That's right, sister. Although they are under the rule of the Mongols, they are just ordinary people, and if we harm them for our own selfishness, will we not fall into a place of injustice and injustice?" Xiao Xinglang complained.
If it was in normal times, when others imposed swords on their heads, Xiao Xing might be able to muster up the courage to fight single-mindedly, but if she wanted to point the blade in her hand at these Li people who had nothing to do with her, it was not something she could accept.
Therefore, Xiao Xing thought of the treasure left in the army, so he came up with this method to see if he could use it to escape and ascend to heaven.
Xiao Yue shook her head and sighed, "It's not impossible. But you must know that this Mongolia has always been cunning, if there are any spies planted in it, and a conspiracy is set up to murder us, what will we do when the time comes?"
"But sister. What if they have good intentions?"
After all, Xiao Xing is a good person, and he is still willing to trust others, so he has this remark.
Xiao Yue was reluctant to argue, and sued directly. "That's fine. But sister, if you meet a traitor, you must not listen to other people's nonsense and kill them directly, you know?"
"Don't worry, I know how to do it. Xiao Xing nodded back.
Xiao Yue also comforted: "That's good." And no matter what happens, I'll always be there for you. Looking at her sister in front of her, she was grateful for the tenderness in her heart, now Xiao Feng is in retreat in the stone egg, waiting for the moment to return in the future, and her only purpose now is to keep her sister, and the last remaining hope.
I hope this journey will be smooth.
The two continued to patrol the city while discussing.
It wasn't until the sun sank and the sunset was all over the sky that the two turned around.
"It's time to meet. Xiao Yue looked at the sky and said casually.
Xiao Xing also replied: "That's right. According to the agreed time, we should report the news. I just don't know if they've gathered the information they need?"
The two of them made up their minds to pay attention, and immediately followed the crowd out of Zhongdu, and after leaving Zhongdu, they immediately ran wildly, about twenty miles away, before they appeared on a mountain col. On the top of the mountain pass, there is a small pavilion standing, and on the wooden sign hanging next to it, the words "ukiyo-tei" are engraved.
If you live here, you can see the whole of Chuchu at a glance, and it is worthy of the word "ukiyo-tei".
And in this pavilion, there are already three people staying here: Chengfeng, Yu Wenwei, and Zhang Yuanlong.
When Yu Wenwei saw Xiao Yue and Xiao Xing appearing, he immediately complained: "The two principals, have you ever memorized the internal border defense situation in the capital city?"
"The city's military defense is all in mind. If you plan to attack the city now, I can enter the yamen now, and kill all the officials in the city, leaving nothing behind. Smiling coldly, Xiao Yue immediately showed her immortal sword power, and the gusts of wind made people not doubt that she had such strength.
Xiao Xing couldn't help frowning, and then replied: "How can the two of us excuse the things that Mr. ordered? It's just that I don't know why Mr. asked us to inspect these things?"
Before the two of them entered the central capital, it seemed that they were just for fun, but in fact, they had their own purpose, which was to record all the government offices, officials and various important checkpoints in the city, so as to facilitate the next move of the Chifeng Army.
It was precisely because of this that Xiao Xing thought that this order was done for the purpose of breaking through the capital in the future.
"It's just that the two of you are idle, so let the two of you see if there are any masters in this city. After all, it would be terrible if an earth immortal suddenly appeared when we were waiting for us to act. Yu Wenwei replied in disbelief.
Xiao Yue was slightly angry and replied, "Don't worry." There are no earth immortals in the city, and even the strongest one is only the enemy of a sword, less than one. But are you going to let me grab it directly?"
"Of course not. ”
Yu Wenwei shook his head and replied, "Although you are powerful, it is difficult to protect everyone. If it is directly robbed, it is not only easy to disturb the people of this city, but also ruin our reputation, and it is easier to attract the attention of Mongolia, but it will reveal our deeds. This is the best way to go. But a wise man must make a mistake, and if I accidentally reveal my identity, then I will trouble the fairy. After all, sometimes cutting the grass and eradicating the roots is also an option. ”
Xiao Yue's jaw replied, "Don't worry, I'll do it." ”
She was already used to killing, and naturally she would not have the slightest mercy for the enemy.
"Alas. I just hope that along the way, we don't run into too much trouble. Xiao Xing listened to the conversation between the two full of gunpowder, so he opened his mouth to persuade.
Of course, Xiao Yue and Yu Wenwei didn't pay much attention to it, just because they all knew Xiao Xing's temperament, and they always had to mutter a few words when they heard such murderous words.
On the other side, Cheng Feng suddenly smiled and said, "Trouble? I'm afraid this time, I won't have too much trouble waiting for me." After all, when I looked inside the barracks stationed in this city, I saw a lot of familiar looks. If they find our traces, I am afraid it will be a big obstacle. ”
Yu Wenwei couldn't help frowning and asked, "Who?"
"Shigu!" replied Chengfeng.
Everyone was stunned and asked, "Is it him?"
"That's right, this is the man. I saw it very clearly, and the guy walked directly from the barracks and met the guards of the city. Cheng Feng sneered, as if with great resentment: "I once said that those surrendered troops should not be trusted. No, after leaving the Red Phoenix Army, these surrendered troops immediately turned around and went directly
"But do we have to do it?" Xiao Xing muttered.
"If we don't, we won't get enough ships out to sea. Although there were many treasures at the beginning, if more than 3,000 people were to be sustained, this amount of money and food was really not much. This is the only way to succeed in order to survive. Xiao Yue whispered to persuade the person, and her heart became more and more determined.
If you want to kill, it only takes me alone, and that's enough.
As for the rest, you just need to maintain yourself.
"But do we have to do it?" Xiao Xing muttered.
