Devil’s Advent

In Chuzhou City tonight, some people are planning, some are wandering, some are struggling, and some are melancholy;

There was a former servant of the Ministry of Industry who had become an official. He obviously didn't raid his house and went to his house, but he led his family and children together to hang himself;

There was a garrison officer of Chuzhou City who became the most powerful military officer in Chuzhou City under the Yan people. He was busy leading his more than 2,000 subordinates to ransack homes and exterminate them one by one.

There was a respectable old man who agreed to Yanren's request and became the new chief civil servant in Chuzhou City. He sat in his courtyard, facing the cold wind, drinking peach blossom wine all night alone.

Someone held a jug in one hand and a sword in the other, walked to the streets late at night, scolded the people of Yan, and said bluntly, don't be arrogant. He was shot and killed by the Zhenbei army patrolling the street to enforce the curfew.

His body was tied to a horse by a hot-blooded Zhenbei Army Colonel, and dragged along the street, bloody and bloody.

Some people are trying to fish in troubled waters, and the small gangs in the city plan to take advantage of this turbulent situation to make a fortune, and reach out to big families that they would never dare to touch on weekdays.

The appearance of all living beings, the ecology of all beings, and the face of all living beings are all different, and each has its own personality;

But no matter what, most of them are actually waiting silently in panic. As long as there are gods in the family, whether it is sculptures or portraits, the offering tables are much more abundant than in the past.

If there really are gods in the sky, you might be surprised to think that Chuzhou City celebrates the new year ahead of schedule this year.

All dharmas in the world are mutual;

Where there is black, there is white; where there is light, there is darkness; where there is red, there is black.

Every time a story comes out, every scene is played, it is clearly performed in the dark night, but it is performed very brightly.

However, for the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army, those who did not need to perform city patrol missions or go out to serve as sentinel riders all had an early meal and then fell asleep.

After several days of galloping, they were already tired, and it was time to rest.

In the city, the occasional screams and cries, to them, are just small tonics in sleep.

In terms of blood, cruelty, and all kinds of things in the desert, they are much more thorough than these.

Right now, these are really just drizzle.

Perhaps, in their view, these gangsters are really a bit hypocritical. They have to make extra voices and emotions even though the ending is already doomed.

Why bother?

This is an extremely unbalanced balance of power.

And after the knights of the Zhenbei Army successfully rushed into the city gate, they could no longer change it.

But the curtain of the war has just begun...

...

"The military discipline of the Zhenbei Army is indeed good." Zheng Fan said.

"My lord, this is because the battle is progressing smoothly and the army hasn't really seen blood yet."

Zheng Fan nodded. He agreed with the blind man. Once the army is completely bloodied, the damage it can cause will be extremely terrifying. At that time, even if the general wants to stop it, he will not be able to stop it.

Moreover, the commander-in-chief of this town is still that lunatic Li Fusheng.

That lunatic is already extremely restrained, God knows how long he can restrain himself.

"My lord."

Siniang came over and brought a washbasin with two hot towels in it.

Zheng Fan and the blind man began to wipe their faces with a towel each,

At this time,

Zheng Fan saw a timid little girl standing beside Si Niang. The little girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old.

"Going to pick up leaks again?" Zheng Fan teased.

Siniang's habit is to take and cultivate good seedlings when she sees them.

It's just that the first batch of young ladies who were accepted at the beginning haven't fully grown up yet, so they can't play any role now.

However, Zheng Fan believes that the secret spies trained by Siniang must be more reliable than the Silver Armored Guards. The few Silver Armored Guard wives he met, in fact, the masters have already known their identities, so don't be too serious. fail.

Of course, with Zheng Fan's current power and status, it's useless to ask for "Red Fu Girl".

"I happened to be bumped into by my slave's family. Come on, Xiao Rui, kowtow to the master."

The girl called Xiaorui knelt down, kowtowed seriously to Zheng Fan, and said softly:

"Meet the master."

Although he is afraid, he is not very timid. Moreover, judging from his kowtow posture, it is obvious that his tutor is very good.

This is not a joke, ordinary Qianshou would not pay too much attention to such things as etiquette, just kowtow, in fact, it was just like that, whether it was when worshiping the ancestors or when facing the elders, they just knelt down to deal with it.

"Whose family?"

"My family used to be the servants of Shangjing. That old servant committed suicide with his whole family."

"call……"

Zheng Fan let out a long sigh of relief.

"When the slave's house passed by, several men of that family were forcing their female relatives to commit suicide. This little girl didn't want to die, so she ran in the yard and was chased and stabbed by her grandfather. Fortunately, I ran into it in time and was rescued. gone."

Said, Si Niang pointed to Xiao Rui's back, where the clothes were torn, there should be a hole, but Si Niang took care of it.

"It's a pity, even with beauty needles, it's hard to erase her scars." Si Niang said regretfully.

"There will be a way in the future." The blind man said.

The current demon kings are not capable of doing this, but in the future, after everyone's strength recovers, it won't be a simple matter to erase a scar?

"Tell me, if I wanted to commit suicide, I would have committed suicide, and I had to bring the whole family together. From the old man to the next few men in the family, it seemed like they were crazy." Si Niang said.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

Xiao Rui seemed to recall some terrible scene, and began to panic.

"Hey, it's okay, it's okay now." Si Niang comforted her.

"The whole family commits suicide, only then can they have their own clarity, and maybe they can still have a long history." The blind man said.

"Okay, it's hard to say what's right or wrong."

Zheng Fan was too lazy to spend any more time on these matters, and said again:

"Rest when you should rest, and do what you should continue to do."

………

This time, Zheng Fan didn't sleep well.

Maybe it's because Si Niang didn't sleep with him tonight,

So Zheng Fan had a dream,

I dreamed that I was sitting behind the bead curtain, and the princess with the golden phoenix crown was sitting on my lap, and the princess was extremely charming;

At the same time, outside the bead curtain, there is a big hall, separated by a curtain, is a dragon chair, the son of King Fu is sitting on the dragon chair in a dragon robe, listening to the movement behind the curtain while accepting the bowing ceremony of all the officials , Shan Hu long live.

"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!"

A rush of hoofbeats woke up Zheng Fan's dream.

After opening his eyes, Zheng Fan actually still had some aftertaste, and smiled at the same time, mocking himself:

"What a pervert."

At this moment, Liang Cheng opened the curtain of the tent and leaned in, reporting:

"My lord, a dry army has been found forty miles southwest of the city."

"Army? Southwest?"

If it came from the southwest, it must not be the Qianguo frontier army returning to aid.

In fact, according to the speed of the Yan army's attack all the way, even if the frontier army of Qianguo chose to return without hesitation at the beginning, it would be impossible to catch up today.

You know, Yan Guo is all cavalry.

"How many enemy troops are there?"

"I don't know the details, but it should be over 20,000."

Zheng Fan immediately got up and put on his armor, and then walked out with Liang Cheng.

On the street, the Zhenbei Army knights were quickly mobilizing, and sentry cavalry kept coming in from outside the city, while shouting loudly about the enemy's situation.

Cavalry were constantly transferred from inside and outside the city, ready to meet the enemy.

Zheng Fan frowned slightly, and said:

"What is this doing?"

Chuzhou is a newly occupied place. Although under the threat of knife edge and various temptations, last night, a "pseudo-army" Yamen was pulled up.

But the whole city is actually still in a state of panic.

At this time, if the news of Qianjun's appearance was passed on carelessly like this, wouldn't it make the people and dignitaries of Qianguo in the city moved?

You must know that in any group, at any time, the silent majority is the main force. At this time, they cannot be given hope.

Zheng Fan narrowed his eyes,

at this time,

A knight came on horseback, came to Zheng Fan's body, cupped his hands and said:

"Zheng Shoubei, the commander-in-chief has summoned you."

Zheng Fan cupped his hands and said:

"To order."

Zheng Fan got on his horse and walked towards Li Fusheng's position together with Liang Cheng.

Li Fusheng lived in a private house last night, and did not choose a mansion of great wealth and wealth, because according to the original plan, he would set off again in two days anyway, so he could just find a place to sleep and sleep.

It has to be said that these high-level generals of the Zhenbei Army are not very strong in terms of personal enjoyment.

Zheng Fan rode his horse and marched on the street, with sentry cavalry and cavalry teams passing by constantly, the Yan army inside the city and the Yan army camp outside the city had already started to move.

Those who became agitated together were also the hearts of the people in Chuzhou City.

Inside the wall, an unknown number of heads poked out at this moment and were secretly looking at the situation outside. Seeing this, Zheng Fan's heart was itchy, and he really wanted to practice headshot archery with his bow and arrow.

…………

The most majestic building in Chuzhou City is also the building that symbolizes the center of power. It is the prefect's mansion.

However, when the Yan army broke through the city yesterday, the Chujun Jiedu envoy was not in Chujun, but in Antian City, eighty miles south of Chuzhou City, to urge the transfer of grain and grass.

Therefore, this big fish was not caught.

But at this time, in the prefect's mansion, a white-haired old man was sitting on the seat of the signing room, his face was full of deep exhaustion after a hangover.

Last night, he drank a whole night of wine. The wine was made from peach blossoms. Wuchuan is rich in fine wine, and the best wine is even more expensive.

It's just that last night, I was reluctant to drink too much good wine on weekdays, but the more I drank it, the more tasteless it became.

Yesterday, the people of Yan broke into his mansion and put a knife across the necks of his entire family.

this old man

I chose to surrender.

He agreed to the Yan people's request and became the new Jiedu envoy of Chuzhou City. Then, the Yan people began to stuff him with officials, a lot of them, and he found some himself. The Grass Team was set up.

It's just that this is just a paper shelf. Now, although everyone is in the government office, no one is really working. Everyone, in fact, has no intention of going to work.

However, early on, everyone came to the government office to "work", and the usual laziness and procrastination disappeared.

However, after sitting in their own seats, they whispered among each other that their family was ransacked last night and their family was named and promoted.

The Yan people came too fast,

The Yan people's swords are too fast,

This group of officials who just "surrendered"

Others failed to adapt to their identities.

Fortunately, their current nominal "Master Jiedushi" seems to have the same emotions as them.

One morning, everyone was just sitting like this, and Lord Jiedushi didn't pass down any government orders, and everyone turned into living mud tires.

A servant with the appearance of a housekeeper walked into the government office, came to the important place of the signing room, walked up to his master, and whispered something in his ear.

immediately,

There was hope and excitement in the old man's cloudy eyes.

With trembling hands, he grabbed the official hat on his head and put it on the table.

Master Wang, Master Wang is back!

The old man was very excited.

but soon,

His hands trembled again,

he started to get scared,

Because although it was forced, he had worn this official hat.

After many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, he knows that even if he only wears this hat for one day, no, once he puts it on, he will never take it off for the rest of his life.

Last night, he had been suffering from inner torment.

It was the great wish made by reading sage books when he was young, it was the honor of being named on the Donghua Gate on the gold list, and it was the freedom and ease when he returned to his hometown with a wave of his sleeves;

His ambition has never been great, and his official position has not been great, but in this life, it can be regarded as smooth sailing, although there are waves, it is generally smooth.

Unexpectedly, when the old man was buried in the ground, he would be treated so badly.

Especially after hearing that his old friend committed suicide with his family, his inner torment became more and more intense.

Own,

Is it wrong?

Master Wang is going to fight back and expel the Yan people. He is very happy.

here,

It is the territory of the Qian Kingdom, how can Yan Man be allowed to run wild!

here,

It is a place of etiquette, how can Yanman be allowed to ruin it?

However,

If Master Wang calls back,

Own,

What will happen?

Although the housekeeper next to him was only in his early forties, he inherited his father's position and stayed in this house all the time. Seeing his master so haggard and sad, he sighed silently in his heart.

"Go, invite all the adults in the front hall."

"Yes, sir."

Soon, more than ten adults from the front hall came.

The Yaqian hall of the government office has always been the office of the high-ranking officials of the county below the Jiedushi.

Among them, some were promoted last night, and some were originally sitting in this position.

At this time, they were called in together, with different expressions.

With disdain on their faces,

Those who have no choice but to feel sorry for each other,

Some are silent and numb,

In the signing room, after a brief silence,

All adults salute to the old man sitting behind the table:

"See... my lord."

There was a wry smile on the old man's face,

reach out,

Gently patted his face,

He was not in a hurry to speak, but continued to slap his face,

And began to shoot, getting heavier and heavier.

"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!"

"My lord, my lord!"

The butler hurried forward to stop him.

The left side of the old man's face was already flushed, but because there wasn't much flesh on his face, it couldn't swell up.

The people below were momentarily at a loss.

The old man picked up the cold tea that had been sitting on the table for a long time, took a sip, mixed it with blood foam, and swallowed it.

Opened the mouth and said:

"I think you already know that the city is in chaos now, and the people of Yan are also in chaos. Master Wang is said to be not far outside the city."

This news has been known to everyone since the morning, and the servants at home will continue to send new news.

"The Yan people have entered the city, but we are still sitting in the yamen, ha ha, what is this?"

After the old man said these words, the faces of all the people present changed and became extremely ugly.

"However, this old man understands that your lords are different from me. I am obsessed with ghosts and want to be a high-ranking official, so I got on the bandit boat of the Yan people.

And you adults, it is to preserve the useful body, you, and the old man, the way is different. "

Everyone below, some are surprised, some are puzzled, some are at a loss, but how can someone who is in the officialdom be a fool?

So soon, everyone understood the meaning of the old man's words.

"Cough cough cough..."

The old man coughed continuously,

Shaoqing,

He wiped the corners of his mouth with the cuff of his official robe,

continued:

"It's the old man who threatened you to sit in the yamen today. All the crimes are on the old man. When the master of the king returns to Chuzhou, the old man will give himself to the court and take over everything.

But please wait, take care of the old man's family in the future, the old man is here, thank you. "

The old man stood up from the chair and bowed to everyone below.

The adults below knelt down together,

Said in unison:

"grown ups……"

Everyone, already weeping uncontrollably.

"Go down, what to do, what to do, what to prepare, you should know."

Everyone promised to leave.

The old man sat back on the chair again, as if most of his energy had been taken away.

The housekeeper said with some distress:

"My lord, why are you bothering?"

The old man smiled,

road:

"If you don't say that as an old man, won't they put the shit bowl on the old man's head?"

"This..." the butler.

"After receiving the news of Master Wang's appearance, they should have been connected in series. Since the old man took this position, he has to bear the consequences.

Instead of letting them push me out, it would be better for the old man to go out by himself.

In this way, there can be some affection left, and the family can be taken care of in the future. "

"Master, you are too difficult."

The butler knew that if it wasn't for the sake of saving the lives of his family, it would be impossible for his master to be coerced by the Yan people.

The old man reached out and picked up the teacup again.

"Master, the tea is cold, I'll make you another cup."

The old man nodded.

The housekeeper walked out of the signing room with a teacup in hand.

Looking at the empty room, the old man suddenly felt a convulsion in his heart, and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

Because just now,

An idea came to my mind,

The thought startled him.

That is:

It would be great if Master Wang was repelled by the Yan people.

…………

There was news in Prince Fu's mansion that the imperial concubine had fallen ill due to fright and had been recuperating in her room.

At this time, His Royal Highness and the princess were sitting face to face for lunch.

Today's concubine has changed into plain clothes, yesterday was special, but in fact, he is still in the stage of wearing mourning for his late husband.

"Hurry up and eat, I have to take the servants out to bury your father later."

"Mother Concubine, outside..."

On His Royal Highness's face, there was a very clear look of panic.

"How is it outside, what does it have to do with you?"

"Dajun, fight back, mother concubine!"

"If you fight back, you will fight back. If you fight back, you can take over your father's position and become the new King Fu."

"No, concubine mother..."

"If the army comes back, it means that you, Zhao Yuannian, don't have that fate, and it also means that your mother and I don't have that fate either. Since we don't have this fate, we have to accept our fate.

Eat well. "

"But, but Ah Qing is dead."

"If she dies, she will die. When your father was around, he told you about her identity. You don't really have feelings for her, do you?"

"Of course not. It's just that, concubine mother, she is a spy of the Silver Armored Guard after all. When the army comes back, the Silver Armored Guard will not believe that Ah Qing died of illness."

"This is easy to handle. Don't we still have a few side rooms left by your father in our mansion? If the Yan people are really defeated, when our big army enters the city, you will kill all your aunts too. Put your daughter-in-law's body in them, and say it was atrocities committed by the Yan people.

Your old lady, let me make my hair disheveled a little more, and if I report it like this, the officials will have to pity our family. After all, your father and king happened on the way to announce the decree for the officials. You, this throne can definitely be kept. , I will get more rewards, and my life is not as tiring as your father's life. "

"Mother, this..."

"In case of trouble, you have to make a decision. Your father and king have already left. In this world, only our mother and I can depend on each other. Don't count on your grandfather. If your grandfather really took being a mother seriously at the beginning, We won't let Wei Niang marry into this Fu Wang's mansion."

"Mother, my son knows."

"Well, so, let's eat. I will bury your father in the afternoon. You can't let your father rest in peace."

"Yes, concubine mother."

………

The new city guard of Chuzhou City has already summoned his subordinates, more than 2,000 people.

When Zheng Fan and Liang Cheng came over, they happened to see them.

"Heh, this is for a fight." Zheng Fan said.

Last night, the new city guard general led the city guards who he could shout and control, slaughtered many dignitaries, and even plundered a lot of property.

Now, after hearing the news that the "Master Wang" was approaching, he took the initiative to gather the troops he could control and asked to fight with the Yan army.

This is really a strange thing. When the Yan army entered the city before, the thousands of defenders in Chuzhou City, except for a little resistance at the beginning, quickly dispersed like birds and beasts.

But at this time, they had the courage to fight against the army.

Naturally, their fighting power is not what it looks like, but their courage has changed tremendously in comparison.

One is because they know that they have committed heinous crimes, and once the Gan army restores Chuzhou City, they will have absolutely no way out, and even in the entire Dagan, they will have no place to hide.

Last night, I had a good time, and I was so excited about the robbery. When I woke up at dawn, I immediately started to worry about making the list.

"Such soldiers are gathered for a moment of courage. If they are slightly frustrated, they will collapse." Liang Cheng said.

"Puppet army, how high do you want to ask?"

"The Lord said so."

"hehe."

The Zhenbei Army soldiers did not stop Zheng Fan, and Zheng Fan was able to walk directly into the small house.

This is just a house that you just entered. As soon as you enter, you can see Li Fusheng's beast lying there lazily.

Naturally, this beast is not comparable to the two marquises in terms of bloodlines, but to be honest, it is really many times taller than Xu's fat one. This physique plus the black scales all over the body , in appearance, extremely mighty.

It would be great if I could also assign a Piston in the future, and let the demon kings under him study how to improve its bloodline.

But it's also interesting. The emperor of the Qian Kingdom likes to give wives to his ministers, and the Emperor Yan likes to give out mounts.

As soon as Zheng Fan entered the room, he saw Li Fusheng sitting on the bed, and two soldiers were helping him put on his armor.

"Zheng Shoubei, you surprised me. I have read the list and the collection of goods and grain that you sent this morning."

Um?

Um!

After Zheng Fan went back, he actually forgot about this incident and fell asleep directly, but the devil under him was really reliable in his work, and he was sent to Li Fusheng early.

"Master Hou is indeed right. You are indeed different from Qiu Ba like us. You are capable of doing things."

"Your Excellency is absurd."

"Don't always be so modest, our Zhenbei army is not into this kind of thing, you don't know that every time they argue in the account to grab a vanguard, they almost scold each other."

"yes."

"Sentry cavalry came to report that there were soldiers outside the city. According to the latest news, there are quite a few people, no less than 30,000, hehe."

Zheng Fan noticed that Li Fusheng's eyes started to turn red again.

This is,

I'm holding back.

"I will take 20,000 cavalry to attack, and keep 10,000 in the city to continue collecting food and suppressing the city."

"grown ups…………"

"I know what you are going to say, do you feel that the city is full of wind and rain, and everyone in the city knows that their master Wang is nearby?

Haha, I deliberately let them release the news, and deliberately let those sentinels shout it directly on the street.

I know the purpose of what Zhao Jiulang and you guys did yesterday, but I'm a stupid person, I can't think of such details, I don't know how to do it, and I don't have the patience to do it.

But one thing I know,

The best way to break down is not to beat him to death with a stick, but to give him some hope first;

at last,

Then crush this hope in front of them! "

Armor finished,

Li Fusheng stood up,

shouted:

"Zhi Niang, this city of Chuzhou was taken at the suggestion of your boy, although the city was taken down, it was really boring.

Fortunately, I don't know where these 30,000 cadres came from, but it doesn't matter, there is finally a serious battle to fight.

Our Northern Army has fought barbarians in the desert for a hundred years!

Don't Ganren like to say that our Zhenbei Army was just boasted,

good,

This time, I will let them take a look.

What is the world's number one cavalry! "
