Shu Blossoms

Chapter 551 Jingzhou
This late autumn in Jingzhou is particularly bleak and desolate, the land is dead silent, the bloody battle has passed for several days, but the city towers and streets are still filled with a disgusting bloody smell, and the streets are full of mothers who have lost their husbands and children. The orphans of my father and mother, they no longer have the strength to cry, they get up numbly and try to drag their relatives home, and when they can't drag them, they lie beside them and cry silently.

Once, two fast horses came galloping outside the tower, and they stopped under the tower. The young man shouted to the tower: "Open the city gate!"

"Who is it!" The armored soldiers on the tower looked at the people below from a distance. They didn't know them, and they were dressed too plainly. The man who thought of the general shouted: "Jingzhou City is closed, where do you come from?" Go back and forth!"

The two people outside the city were Zhao Zhi and Zhao Bei's master and apprentice who came back overnight after hearing about the Jingzhou incident. Sitting in front of Zhao Bei was Miao'er's Adi Ping'er, who looked much more energetic than before.

"Master, I'm afraid they won't let us into the city!" Zhao Bei looked at Zhao Zhi, his voice still as calm as before.

Master never approved of them rebelling in the name of Junior Brothers, and they left Jingzhou temporarily after a few people had a quarrel. They didn't expect such a big thing to happen after only half a month of walking.

"Zhao Mingzhi!" The two men were worthy of being masters and apprentices, they never talked nonsense, they just looked up at the tower, angrily shouted toward the tower, "Let Fu Cheng come to see me!"

When the young general on the tower saw that the man wanted to see their leader by name, he hesitated a little, but still sent someone in to report.

"General Fu, Zhao Zhi is back!" Fu Cheng was practicing sword with six-year-old Fu Hong. When he heard Zhao Zhi's return, he hadn't reacted yet. Fu Hong had already jumped up and said excitedly: "Uncle Fu, Master is back! I Go see Master!"

This child is the only heir of the Fu family today. This Fu Cheng is not a descendant of the Fu family, but a young general in General Fu's army back then. He was responsible for escorting Fu Hong with his team of brothers and Zhao Zhi to escape. Arrived in Jingzhou.

After Fu Hong finished speaking, he was about to run out, but was stopped by Fu Cheng, who coaxed him with a smile, "It's not peaceful outside these two days, you stay at home obediently, and I'll bring your master to see you!"

"Go and see what delicious food your wet nurse has cooked for you, and ask her to prepare some good food too. Your master must not have eaten well outside these days!"

After speaking, let someone take him away, and ride to the city gate by himself.

"Boss!" The gate of Jingzhou City opened, Fu Cheng shouted happily, the horse galloped out, stopped not far from Zhao Zhi, Fu Cheng dismounted and ran over.

Zhao Zhi and the others also got off their horses, and Fu Cheng wanted to hug Zhao Zhi excitedly, but seeing the stern expression on his face, he still withdrew his hand in embarrassment, but the smile on his face remained unchanged, "Boss, Jingzhou is ours now. !"

"Then what are you going to do next? Soldiers like you with insufficient stamina need to be caught by surprise quickly. If you can't gain a foothold in a short time, you will be swallowed by enemies from all directions!"

Zhao Zhi is not optimistic about their future, leaving the teacher Wuming only for the revenge of the family, there is no way to occupy this world!
And in his opinion, these people are not just for the hatred that has long since passed, but for the power and wealth that touches the heart!
"Boss, you are knowledgeable, what that person said is exactly the same!"

Fu Cheng stretched out his thumb and praised, Zhao Zhi was keenly aware of the strangeness, and immediately asked: "Who is that person?"

Fu Cheng slipped his tongue, avoiding Zhao Zhi's gaze in embarrassment, and quickly changed the subject, "Boss, the people from the Xie family have already led troops to Jiankang. They walked this way back then and almost captured the capital. Listen Said that they have made enough preparations, maybe this time it will really work!"

"Are you staying to guard Jingzhou?" Zhao Zhi knew that he couldn't speak and followed him.

"Yeah, we have few people after all, and it's more practical for the brothers to stay here."

Fu Cheng was dissatisfied with this arrangement at first, and felt that the Xie family was deliberately trying to exclude them and not give them the opportunity to make contributions.

Later, when his confidant said that he had figured it out, instead of rushing and attacking all the way to death, it is better to recuperate and strengthen himself here.

Zhao Zhi saw his face proud of his success, snorted coldly in his heart, and said expressionlessly: "Take me to see Ah Hong!"

"Okay, just now he heard that you came back and clamored to see you!"

Fu Cheng led them into the city, and seeing all the horrific scenes along the way, Zhao Bei worriedly looked at Ping'er in his arms, and was relieved when he saw that there was nothing unusual about him, and said softly, "If you don't want to see it, just close it." eye!"

Ping'er shook his head, he suddenly saw a child who was younger than him, gritting his teeth and dragging on the ground, about to fall after walking a few steps, he suddenly struggled to get off the horse.

Zhao Bei hurriedly stopped, and Ping'er jumped off the horse, and ran over to help lift the leg of the man on the ground, but neither of the two children could move his stiff body.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Zhi's face became even colder. He turned to look at Fu Cheng, "You have been with General Fu for many years, and you know what the consequences will be if you don't deal with it properly?"

Fu Cheng said embarrassingly: "Boss, you know we are only those people"

"Although it's cold today, so many dead bodies will attract many rats and insects. What will people eat when they are extremely hungry? Have you never seen or experienced it? Once the plague breaks out, Jingzhou will become a dead city. You too It will never be restored, and it will be stigmatized for thousands of years!"

Although Zhao Zhi's words were exaggerated, they were not alarmist. Fu Cheng knew that he was negligent, and hurriedly said, "I'll send someone to help with the cooking right away!"

"The dead are the greatest. If you want to guard the city safely, you must treat the people in the city well!" That's all Zhao Zhizhi can do.

Zhao Zhi and Zhao Bei didn't expect Fu Cheng to bring him to the Governor's Mansion. He looked at Fu Cheng angrily, "You dare to bring Ah Hong here? Are you afraid of being assassinated by people from Jingzhou City?"

Fu Cheng proudly said: "Don't worry, those people who were governors of Jingzhou are all dead!"

"Did the current emperor ever think that people from the Fu family would come back to take revenge today!" Zhao Zhi asked coldly.

Fu Cheng was speechless, but still unconvinced, Zhao Zhi ignored him and strode into the governor's mansion.

Seeing Master was very happy, Fu Hong dragged him to the dining room, "Master, the wet nurse has prepared a lot of your favorite food!"

"It's so good, is there anything senior brother likes to eat?" Zhao Bei followed behind with a rare doting look on his face.

"Brother!" Fu Hong rushed into Zhao Bei's arms at once, and then called Ping'er with a smile on his face, "Brother A Ping!"

Ping'er fondled his head, took out a small cloth bag from his bosom and gave it to him, "Brother A Ping brought you a gift, go back to the house to see it later!"

"Thank you, Brother Aping!"

A group of people sat down to eat, Fu Cheng knew that no one wanted to see him, so he left wisely.

Before the meal was finished, Zhao Zhi said to Ah Hong's wet nurse: "Yu Niang, go and clean up Ah Hong, and follow us after dinner!"
