Chapter 230 Departure!Jingling

Jingling County, also known as Fuzhou, has three counties in total: Jingling, Mianyang, and Jianli.

Among them, Jingling is in the north, Jianli is in the south, and Mianyang County, where the government of Nazhou is located, is in the middle.This state is small and poor. Many people live near the lake and make a living by fishing. Among them, Nahong Lake is the most famous.

The joint efforts of the three counties have just offered up one city, which is Jingling City, the state capital.

The Qingniu Mountain occupies an advantageous location next to the official road on the outskirts of Jingling, so it is easy to do the business of the robbery.

Today is New Year's Eve, Jingling people have to light the New Year's lanterns on New Year's Eve, even the poorest people in the village have saved half a year's worth of lamp oil, and kept it to last through the night.

Scattered houses can be vaguely seen on both sides of the official road in the field. Looking from a distance, the little lights turned into small orange dots, hazy.

Then go to Jingling City, because of the troubled times, Jingling City has long been closed to prevent the refugees from entering.

The little brother who guarded the city sniffed, the air was filled with the aroma of oily tofu stewed bacon, although he could not see it, but the big hoofs after the smoky fire were fried golden and soaked up the soup The fried tofu seemed to float in front of my eyes.

"Chun Geng, come, come, let's eat! This New Year's day, everyone eats delicious food and drinks spicy food at home, how can anyone come? It's just a few buddies, who were unlucky and won the lottery of this city defender .”

The little brother named Chun Geng stood on tiptoe and looked around. It was pitch black outside the city gate, and there was no sound at all.

That's right, it's the time for the New Year's dinner, the younger generation is waiting to kowtow to get the New Year's money, and the elders have set up empty bowls, chopsticks and wine cups, waiting to invite the deceased ancestors to eat, how can anyone come?

Thinking about it, Chun Geng walked over with peace of mind, took the wine jar from the visitor, and couldn't help swallowing, "Brother Jia, why are you still drinking? If someone finds out..."

The big soldier named Jia Ge winked, "They are all drunk in the house, which one will come to see us? Don't worry. I'm really unlucky, I didn't go back last year for New Year's Eve... "

"This is a first-time freshman, second-time familiarity, otherwise, I don't know the way. Steal this big dish, my old lady took off the soles of her shoes, and chased me for three streets!"

As he said, he lifted the food box, put it on the porch of the hut on the city wall, and lifted the lid of the food box.

The aroma of the stewed pig's trotters with soybeans permeated all of a sudden, "Come on, come on, eat while it's hot!"

Several other soldiers guarding the city, you looked at me, I looked at you, and ran to the inner side of the city wall to look, but no one was coming, so they sat down beside Lao Jia together with Chun Geng in peace of mind.

Chun Geng picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth with some satisfaction. The pork trotter was so stewed that it melted in his mouth, which made his heart flutter.

"Brother Jia, why haven't I seen you before? Have you been in the Jingling Army before? Isn't that..." Chun Geng lowered his voice, "Is the old one better, or the current one?"

Brother Jia lifted the lid of the wine jar and filled it up for everyone, "The Jingling army has thousands of people, and you can recognize them all? If I knew something, would I be pushed out like you?"

"It's Chinese New Year today, let's not talk about these bad luck, come and drink!"

After spring plowing, I feel a little disappointed.

No one is willing to defend the city during the Chinese New Year, especially the few of them, who are all recruits who were forcibly recruited by Zhang Yan after he became the master of Jingling.According to the rules, either one has not yet reached the age of military service, or someone in the family has already served in the military, so there is no need to join the army.

Hearing the word Chinese New Year, one of the soldiers holding the wine had red eyes, "I...I am 13 years old, my mother said I was young, they said I was born tall, and my mother was lying, I was forced to come."

"My brother used to be in the Jingling army, and died in battle. Auntie cried and blinded one eye because of him. Now I'm at home, and I'm afraid I'm going to cry and blind the other eye... I don't know, brother Jia, do you know him? Yes Xu Shi from Jianli."

Brother Jia shook his head and sighed lightly.

When he sighed, Chun Geng also became worried. He picked up the wine bowl and drank it down, "I am the only son in my family, and my mother gave birth to five older sisters. My fourth older sister was born well, and her name is Chen He, the head of Qingniu Mountain. kidnapped."

"I went to look for it once, but I didn't want to go back to my sister. I was beaten by Chen He and lay on the couch for several months. My father and brother-in-law were also injured. They didn't want to go again. I couldn't be more angry, okay. After that, he sneaked out of the village alone..."

"I don't want to meet that Jingling army right after I entered the officialdom, and immediately... I'm afraid my father and mother thought that I died in..."

As Chun Geng spoke, his mouth became dry and he became dizzy.

Seeing that no one responded for a long time, he turned his head and saw that the people who were eating meat and drinking together before did not know when they all collapsed and fell asleep.

Chun Geng was taken aback for a moment, and just as he was about to think deeply, he felt his eyes darken and fell down.

The man called Jia Ge stretched his waist, stretched out his finger, and flicked their heads at everyone. Seeing that no one woke up, he pulled their spears, Bound into a bundle and stood up.

From his pocket, he took out a crumpled banner with paragraphs written on it, and hung it up.

Immediately afterwards, he held the torch, hummed a little song, and swayed down the tower. When he arrived at the back of the tower, he glanced at the corpse of the soldier lying on the ground with his coat stripped off, and saw that he was lying still, hehe smile.

He walked slowly to the gate of the city, thrust the torch to the side, sank into his dantian, firmly planted his legs on the ground, let out a muffled snort, took off the heavy door bolt in one breath, and threw it on the ground .

Then opened the city gate.

Jia Ge leaned against the gate of the city and looked towards the way he came.

Almost instantly, a group of people had arrived in front of the city gate. The leader was a girl. She was wearing a fiery red dress. Her face was glowing red from the torchlight, and she looked extraordinarily happy.

She was riding one horse herself and was leading another.

"Duan San! It's a good luck! This plan works!"

Duan Yi threw the rein in her hand at Brother Jia, "Old Jia! Let's enter the city!"

Lao Jia chuckled, turned over and got on the horse.

Duan Yi raised her whip and shouted, "Drive!"

Then he led the [-] soldiers behind him and charged into Jingling City together.

When the people in the house heard the sound of horseshoes, they locked the doors and windows, and went to the edge of the window to peep secretly.

The old beggar woman on the street was even more frightened, and hurriedly got into the alley.

The people of Qingniu Mountain drove straight in, and ran straight towards the City Lord's Mansion.

The patrolling Jingling Army team was horrified when they saw this, hurriedly rang the gong in their hands, and turned their horses around before they could report the news.

Duan Yi squinted her eyes, shot the arrow with the bow in one go, only heard a whoosh, and the Jingling army on horseback fell to the ground.
