Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 389
The Lintong County Government has been very noisy since early in the morning.Today is the [-]th birthday of Shen Chaofeng, the magistrate's father, and the Shen family decided to make a big deal.Not only are the food and wine available for everyone to eat and drink, but there are also opera juggling at night, and it is said that there is also a social fire.

It's just that during the extraordinary period, the Shen family invited not many important people in the city, mainly the leaders of the Jin army.Set up a banquet in the courtyard, just serve good wine and good meat.Nearly 300 people crowded in the yard for the sake of excitement as the year approached.

In the official hall, Jin Jianghu stabbed: "There is an army of the Southern Dynasty outside the city. Many people are here tonight. I'm afraid there will be accidents."

Shen Zun laughed and said: "The general is worried. Although Lintong is a small county, the city is strong and has been the gateway of Jingzhao Mansion since ancient times. The Southern Army is just Wang Zhenfu from Dengzhou with 3000 people. No match for the general. Why worry about them!"

Hu Ci nodded: "That's true. Although I only have 700 people, I am not afraid of him against [-] Song troops! Tonight, you arrange carefully and set up police everywhere on the city wall. If there is any accident, let me know immediately!"

Shen Zun said yes respectfully.

Hu Ci said again: "I heard that you took in a concubine a few days ago. She is a singer from the central plains. She has a good voice. The soldiers are tired of guarding the city these days, so they let her come out to sing a song, and let Erlang They are useful."

Shen Zun had a troubled expression on his face.Seeing Hu Ci's complexion, he hastily said: "General, just speak up, and the officer will obey."

Hu Ting nodded in satisfaction.Looking at the sky, he said to Shen Zun: "I'll go back and have a rest. You go get ready."

Shen Zun nodded.Watching Hu Ting go out, he took a deep breath and his eyes became sharp.

After arranging today's affairs, Shen Zun walked slowly to the back office.After standing in the courtyard for a while, I arrived at the courtyard of the side room.When I entered the yard, I saw an old man holding a wintersweet tree in the yard and looking at it.

Shen Zundao: "Daddy Jin, is Yuniang in the room?"

Father Jin looked back and saw that it was Shen Zun, pointed to the house next to him and said, "Yes, yes—"

Shen Zun waved his hand hastily: "Understood. I have something to do with Yuniang, father, please do it yourself."

After speaking, he entered the next house.

Yuniang was sitting in front of the window embroidering a handkerchief. When she saw Shen Zun coming in, she hurriedly put the handkerchief away.Standing up and saluting, he said, "I have seen the officials."

Shen Zun waved his hand: "There's no need to be too polite. I'm here to discuss something with you."

After finishing speaking, she sat down beside Yu Niang.Gently grabbed Yuniang's hand, held it in his hand, stroked it gently, and didn't speak for a while.

Yu Niang was not in a hurry, she just sat there quietly and turned her head to look out the window.

After a long time, Shen Zun said: "Today is my father's [-]th birthday, I want to throw a big banquet, and I invited the leader of the Jin army to the banquet."

Yu Niang said indifferently: "The affairs of officials, the concubine doesn't understand."

Shen Zundao: "Hu Ci, the leader of the Jin Army, heard that you used to be a singer, so I want you to sing a few songs tonight to cheer everyone up."

Yuniang turned her head abruptly and looked at Shen Zun.Angrily said: "Officer, you are the county magistrate under the Jinren, so you can say that you are for your parents, so you don't have to blame you! I am your concubine, no matter what, I am also your woman! You let me show my face for the sake of you!" Gold thief singing?!"

Shen Zun sighed: "That thorn's tone is not kind, I really can't refuse."

Yu Niang couldn't help sneering: "I can't refuse? You are still a man! If I knew this, I would rather starve to death than come to your house! Why do you keep saying that being a magistrate for the Jinren is a last resort, to protect the family. I'm just afraid of death!"

Shen Zundao: "I'm afraid of death. But it's not as bad as you said."

Yu Niang pulled her hand out abruptly, and turned her head away contemptuously.

Shen Zun sat there, silent for a long time.Cai said: "Singing a song, do you feel ashamed? Yu Niang, I have risked my life tonight! Alas, I didn't want to tell you, but I feel so uncomfortable!"

Seeing Yuniang still not looking at her, her expression was indifferent.Shen Zundao: "The imperial army has arrived outside Lintong City, do you think I don't know the truth? Let me tell you, I have already met Cao Tongzhi of the army outside the city. I have discussed with them, and the army will attack the city tonight!"

"What?" Yuniang turned her head suddenly, looking at Shen Zun.

Shen Zun nodded: "That's right, I've decided to dedicate the city tonight! The purpose of hosting a banquet for the leaders of the Jin Army is to facilitate the entry of the Song Army. At this time, you say, the Jin Army wants you to sing a few songs, how can I refuse?" ?”

Yu Niang looked into Shen Zun's eyes, and after a while, she said, "Is what you said true?"

Shen Zun nodded: "If there is a false statement, there will be five thunders and five thunders from the sky, and I will die!"

Yu Niang nodded silently, and gently held Shen Zun's hand.That hand was soft and slippery, carrying Yuniang's body temperature.After a while, Shen Zun felt his hands were warm, and his mood gradually calmed down.

Yuniang said: "I am a miserable person. When I was two or three years old, I was thrown to the side of the road in Kaifeng City, and almost froze to death. Fortunately, Father Jin saw me pitifully and took me in. He will never die in his life. For other things, I will only help others and be a helper for the children of rich families. However, my father is born with a stutter, and few people in his life will listen to him to finish a sentence. How do you do it? Hungry, full, Pulled me into an adult. Finally, when I was 13 years old, I was born with a good voice, so I went to a restaurant in Kaifeng to sell and sing with my dad. Alas, I just became famous, and our father and daughter have no worries about food and clothing. At that time, the people of Kaifeng were miserable! How can I explain it clearly in a few words? Kaifeng City was destroyed by the golden men, and how many people died! Our father and daughter followed a member of the staff and drifted to Lintong County in a daze—”

Speaking of this, tears flowed down Yuniang's face.

"I understand, I understand." Shen Zun patted Yuniang's hand lightly. "Now that the imperial army is here, Lintong will definitely be restored and the Jingzhao Mansion will be reoccupied. There will be no more tragedies like the past. As long as the leaders of the Jin people are in the county government tonight, and I will open the city gate for the Song army, everything will be fine. "

Yu Niang nodded and gently wiped away her tears.Suddenly, he suddenly raised his head: "The officials really didn't lie to me?"

Shen Zun hurriedly said: "How could I lie to you? Of course not. My wealth and life will also be bet on it!"

Yu Niang nodded: "Since that's the case, I know what's going on. If you have something to do, just go and discuss it with Dad. What you have done is a great thing for the country and the people, and I will not let you down. rest assured!"

Shen Zun patted Yuniang.Standing up, he said, "Please my lady tonight!"

After speaking, he stood up and let out a light breath.If he succeeds tonight, he will wash away his humiliation of surrendering gold.So what if the Song army gave up after capturing the city?They can never ignore themselves.Just follow the south.
