Chapter 52 City Break

Li Xiaoyao squatted on the ground and was about to look through those things when Jiang Shun rushed into the yard and shouted, "Zheng Cheng is on fire!" It's all smoke!" Several people jumped and hurried to the top of the back cliff. Li Xiaoyao stood up, ran to the door of the house and stopped again, called Zhao Wuge, gathered the things on the ground into the bag, carried them into their room and locked them, and then ran out and ran to the top of the mountain.

Far away, in the direction of Zhengcheng, a pillar of thick black smoke rose straight up, connected to the white clouds in the sky, spreading away the dark sadness. Several people looked at the black smoke in a daze. Aunt Sun cried out loud. Li Xiaoyao turned his head and looked at Sister Zhang and whispered, "Help her back, persuade her, what to cry? Question mark Wisteria has a cellar and is not afraid of fire. You should think about everything for good!"

Sister Zhang nodded repeatedly. Zhang Tiemu hurried forward and wanted to help Mrs. Sun. She stretched out her hand but shrank back. She tied her hand and protected Mrs. Sun and Sister Zhang to walk down the mountain. Li Xiaoyao did not want to pay attention to these little things. She stared at Zheng Cheng in the distance for a moment and turned around and went down the mountain. She still hurried back to check. Yuan Dashuai's luggage, let's see if we can find something useful.

Several people went down the mountain one after another. Li Xiaoyao's hands and feet were extremely fast. He had almost turned over Yuan's luggage. There was a lot of money such as silver tickets and small gold cakes. Li Xiaoyao was looking for letters and other useful things, but there was nothing. Li Xiaoyao even carefully opened the corners of his clothes and the mezzanine of the baggage. Still not, I had to get up disappointed and give valuable things such as silver tickets and small gold cakes to Li Zonggui. Other things such as waist cards, tokens and ripped clothes that were scratched by her were wrapped into a ball and handed over to Li Erhuai to smash them and then burn them. This thing can't be left. In case it is lost, It's a big disaster.

Li Xiaoyao discussed with Li Zongliang, Wei Shuisheng and others. They took Marshal Yuan to an empty room and closed the door. Li Erhuai guarded at the door. Lv Feng carried a bucket of cold water and splashed it on Marshal Yuan's head. Marshal Yuan opened his eyes in a shiver and looked around calmly. Li Zongliang and others stood behind the screen. Li Xiaoyao separated him. The screen stared at Marshal Yuan for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Isn't Marshal Yuan going to die for the country? Why did he come here?"

Marshal Yuan kept shivering, staring at the screen and asking in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?"

"When did you abandon your army and escape? After you leave, who will give the army to? Do you know that Zheng Cheng is besieged?

Lv Feng gently flicked the machete in his hand, touched the nails and blade, making a very light and crisp sound. Marshal Yuan shrank and glanced at the cold machete in Lv Feng and Lv Feng's hand, swallowed his saliva, and replied in a low voice, "Yesterday, the army had exhausted its strength. Few people have fought for The country died. I finally withdrew and had to withdraw. I was surrounded by the Liang army. I wanted to commit suicide several times, but I was stopped by my subordinates desperately. I had to go back to Taiping Prefecture to send a letter to the emperor and then die.

Li Xiaoyao couldn't laugh or cry. He was so disgusted that he didn't bother to pay attention to his shameless whitewashing. He only asked, "Your eldest son nodded his head all the way?"

Marshal Yuan's chill suddenly stopped, suddenly looked up, and stared at the screen fiercely. Li Xiaoyao sighed secretly. In this strange battle, there was really strangeness. The reason for the connection between must be complicated, which was not what she could imagine. This purple flag turns into an apricot yellow flag and then a black flag. I don't know who is a mantis, who is a yellow finch, and who is a cicada.

"Who are you going to give Zheng Cheng to?"

"I was defeated!" Marshal Yuan replied toughly, and Lu Feng raised his foot and kicked him on the shoulder and scolded, "Bulls!" Li Xiaoyao lowered his head and thought for a while. Now Zheng Cheng has lost. Whether it falls into Liang Jun's hands or Beiping's hands, it doesn't seem to be much different from him.

"Have you reported the fall of Zheng Cheng to the emperor?"

"I just want to go back to Taiping Mansion to die!" Marshal Yuan replied generously. Li Xiaoyao was angry and funny, and simply laughed: "Forget it, you play here and there is no one to watch the play. What a waste!" Let me ask you, did the Taiping Mansion know about Zheng Cheng's siege and fall? Don't say any more nonsense to me, or I will let you take it now.

"I don't know, I don't know if Taiping Prefecture knows." Lv Feng flicked the machete with his fingers and stared at Marshal Yuan fiercely. Marshal Yuan was shocked by Lv Feng. He looked at the light of the knife in Lv Feng's hand and honestly replied that Li Xiaoyao hated it. This dog must be a spring and autumn style. Although it has been defeated repeatedly, it has been fought repeatedly. In addition to glory and wealth in his heart, what The people of my country are all dung!

"Den him!"

Lv Feng didn't wait for Marshal Yuan to react and cut him down and stunned him. Li Xiaoyao turned out from behind the screen and kicked Yuan Dashuai heavily: "Lock him in the cave in the backyard and lock him with a chain. Let's talk about it first."

Lv Feng held a knife and stroked between Yuan Dashuai's neck with the tip of the knife. He frowned and looked at Li Xiaoyao. He raised his chin and said, "Kill it, there will be no future trouble."

"Kong it down first and have a look. Maybe I will ask him later." Li Xiaoyao didn't pay much attention to Lv. He called Jiang Shun to come in and solemnly ordered, "Lock him into the backyard cave. Remember, first, from today, the backyard cave will be managed by you and Brother Zhao. Only the two of you will take turns to deliver him food and deliver a meal a day. Second, don't talk to him and don't mention it to anyone. It's a matter of people in the courtyard cave.

Jiang Shun simply answered and called Brother Zhao Wu in. The two carried Marshal Yuan to the cave in the backyard.

In the evening, Li Xiaoyao climbed to the top of the back cliff and looked at Zhengcheng. The thick black smoke had dissipated. Zhengcheng in the distance was as quiet as usual. The black flag outside the city was still the same. He didn't know how Mr. Sun and Zhang Gouzi were doing. If he couldn't come back alive... It's her fault.

The next morning, Zhang Zonggui took Jiang Shun down the mountain again and walked more than ten miles in the direction of Zhengcheng. At the end of the woods, he did not dare to go further. This trip was empty again and he did not hear any news.

In the evening, Zhang Gouzi returned to the mountain. Li Zongliang and others were overjoyed. Li Xiaoyao looked at Zhang Gouzi carefully. He lost a circle, but he was very energetic. Zhang Gouzi circled to salute and was about to speak. Mrs. Sun rushed in. Li Xiaoyao hurriedly motioned Zhang Gouzi to answer Mrs. Sun's words first. Zhang Gouzi Without waiting for Mrs. Sun to speak, she said with a smile and said, "Don't worry, shopkeeper Sun is fine. Bring words to reassure you."

Mrs. Sun was relieved and almost fell to the ground. Sister Zhang, who followed her, hurried forward to help her. Li Xiaoyao came forward and helped Mrs. Sun with a smile: "This time, Sister Sun is very relieved. My sister quickly went back to clean up Uncle Sun's cotton-padded clothes and let people take them there. It's getting cold. Don't let Sun Er Uncle is frozen."

Mrs. Sun agreed with tears and laughter, and was busy going back with Sister Zhang to pack up.

Li Zongliang let everyone into the room and sat on the kang. Li Xiaoyao squeezed between Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng. Li Zonggui poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Zhang Gouzi. Zhang Gouzi drank it all and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. He looked at Li Xiaoyao and said, "Since the war began, the city has not been peaceful. Every day, scattered soldiers have fled into the city, and they are not Knowing whether it was a real injury or a fake injury, he forced to eat, drink and rob things everywhere, and the government officials in the government office could not control it. Manager Sun let him close the door. Anyway, there was no business. The day before yesterday, it took more than an hour for the fourth master and Master Lu to pick up Sister Zhang and the fifth brother and leave. As soon as it was dark, Master Song took Lord Yan to hold the soft and fled to our shop. Master Song said that someone in front of him sent a letter that Marshal Yuan's army was defeated and completely defeated. Marshal Yuan did not know whether he died or escaped. Anyway, It's gone. Liang Jun has fought all the way. The shopkeeper asked Master Song and Lord Yan to hide in the cellar first. The shopkeeper and I took turns to guard outside. After a long time, Liang Jun entered the city and there were torches everywhere. At first, it was not bad. Even if he ran along the streets and alleys, he saw our deserters and killed them, and they did not break into the house. Burning* is better than our deserters!"

Lv Feng laughed. Zhang Gouzi got off the kang, poured a cup of tea and drank it. He looked at Lv Feng and said seriously, "It's really better than those deserters!"

"You go on and ignore him!" Li Xiaoyao hurriedly motioned to Zhang Gouzi. Zhang Gouzi sat on the kang and then said, "Who knows, there was a mess outside before dawn, and there was no more chaos. This time it was all chaos, killing and set fire. Later, I learned that it was the army of Peiping that followed behind and entered the city. It was so chaotic that the shopkeeper and I dared not stay any longer. Outside, we hid in the cellar and didn't dare to come out. It was a whole day. Since midnight last night, the sound of killing outside has disappeared, and the fire seemed to have been extinguished at that time. This morning, we heard someone knocking on the gong in the cellar and calling that the war was over, which reassured everyone. The shopkeeper came out first to see the movement, and the streets were covered with the safety of the Beiping Army everywhere. The people's notice said that Beiping and the State of Wu were in-laws. The Beiping army regarded the people of the State of Wu as the people of the State of Peiping, which made everyone feel at ease. There were also people looking for Yanfu Yin everywhere. Later, Master Song came out first and followed the commander-in-chief of the Beiping Army to meet. Later, Master Song took the commander-in-chief and many people back to our wisteria residence. The government office was early. It's just a burning light. The general, as well as Lord Yan, are now living in our Wisteria residence first.

"What's the city like now?" Li Zonggui asked with concern.

"Alas! It's gone. There are dead people everywhere, blood everywhere. The willow leaf teahouse, that street, a street is burned out. The government office and the street in front of it are almost burned. There is blood everywhere, and several government officials of the government office have also died. Master Song even used the tea doctor in our shop. Marshal Chen, the commander of the Beiping Army, Chen, send someone to help collect the body and put out the fire. There are dead people everywhere!" Zhang Gouzi's face was bitter and his heart was extremely cold.
