Luo nine needles

Chapter 121

People and horses rushed towards the city wall like a tide.

I can't remember exactly how many times this is the tide. The blood on the city wall is like countless waves slapping, and the wave of people has gone from the first Zhang away to the bottom of the city wall, and now it has reached the city wall. The piled corpses have become climbing. ladder.

The barbarian soldiers rushing up the city wall are like giants, even if they have no weapons in their hands and wave their arms, they can still knock down two or three Zhou soldiers.

But soon there will be four or five Zhou soldiers rushing up.

Three can't deal with one barbarian, so four or five.

The barbarian soldier let out a roar and fell to the ground.

Time and time again, when the afterglow of the setting sun disappeared in the sky, the few remaining barbarian soldiers roared. This time, they no longer rushed up, but turned around and ran towards the dark sky.

They let out a mournful roar, and the odd tune seemed to mourn the death of their companions, and to warn others.

"Don't come here, don't come here."

"There are ferocious devils here, and there are endless abysses here."

"Dead souls, follow me back to my hometown."

"Don't look back, don't look back."

On the city wall, a veteran who was familiar with the Yihuangren hoarsely shouted the words of the Yihuangbing, and then let out a loud laugh: "Run, grandchildren! Get away, don't come again——"

He also wanted to sing something, but a severe cough made him hunched over, and the mottled wounds on his body ooze blood again.

He hunched over and turned around.

"Brothers we held—"

He turned around, his voice gradually fell silent, and the fighting stopped. On the city wall, the fire was burning, and corpses were piled up, but there were only a dozen brothers who were still alive.

Some stood with arms propped up, while others sat leaning on the corpse.

"Six generals—" the veteran shouted, looking at the general sitting on the corpse.

Liang Liuzi hung his shoulders and head, holding a broken long knife in both hands, sitting on the corpse of the barbarian soldier, motionless.

As the veteran shouted, other surviving soldiers and guards rushed to Liang Liuzi's side, and the burning fire shone on their mournful faces.

"Not dead yet." Liang Liuzi said, taking a deep breath, and slowly raised his head.

The soldiers and guards who surrounded him suddenly laughed, with tears in their eyes.

"Little six, you scared me to death." The veteran scolded even more unceremoniously.

"There's nothing scary about being dead." Liang Liuzi said, "Old Sun, you have lived a long time, and you have never seen a dead person."

I've seen it, especially in the past few years, Lao Sun looked at the corpses around him, and the ones lying here were all comrades who were chatting and laughing together just a moment ago.

No matter how many dead people you see, every time you see them, your heart will still be pierced.

Liang Liuzi stood up slowly holding a half-cut knife, looked at the barbarians fleeing in front of him, and then looked behind him, there seemed to be stars falling on the ground in the distant night behind him, that was the city of the Northland villages and towns.

In the farther distance, there is a brighter night that cannot be seen.

He grinned openly.

"Happy news." He said, "Beizhaikou is safe and secure."

The soldiers and guards shouted "Good news!" "Good news!"

After a few spring rains, the sun was shining, and the narrow halls of the capital's yamen were a bit stuffy.

"It's really bitter." An official complained, "It's cold in winter, hot in summer, and sunny in autumn. Now there are not even a few comfortable days in spring."

Another official put a stack of freshly delivered letters on the table and sighed.

"Being an official is the life of a horse." He said, "Stop complaining and work, otherwise you will be scolded again."

The complaining official looked at the letters and newspapers piled up on the table again, with a sad face: "Why are there so many, I really don't want to live."

Having said that, several officials still sorted out the letters and newspapers.

"It's all the same stuff." An official said that he was not interested in reading it after reading the beginning, and fanned the wind with letters.

Another official suddenly cheered: "The Beihai Navy has a good news."

The other officials asked curiously, "What good news?"

I haven't heard of where the war is fought, the world is peaceful.

The official had already opened it and looked at it, and laughed: "The Northern Navy said it was invaded by barbarian people, and repelled them."

Isn't that what it should be?The officials around suddenly lost interest.

"Is this also worthy of a good report?" An official looked clear and pointed to the document, "Look, do you want money?"

The official clapped his palms and laughed: "That's right, it really is." He looked at the document and read, "The city defense is urgent, please allocate funds for repairing the Great Wall as soon as possible."

The officials in the hall smiled and shook their heads, "We have seen this kind of trick a lot."

But it seems that there are some people who don't know. Someone asked curiously, "What trick?"

"What kind of trick? Are you new here? You don't even know about it—" an official said impatiently, and turned his head to see that fool following the sound.

The black clothes are shining with golden threads.

The official suddenly gasped and hiccupped, and the person also kicked back and bumped into other officials. The other officials groaned and turned around. When they saw someone coming, they all backed away.

The hall froze for a moment.

Zhu Chuan looked at the officials crowded together, blinked, and asked, "What is it? I'm new here, so I don't know."

An official finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly saluted with a smile: "Master Zhu, are you here? What are your orders?" He hurriedly pointed inward, "I will take you to see Mr. Shi Lang."

If there is any trouble, let the servant minister take care of it.

But Zhu Chuan raised his hand to hold his shoulder.

"I didn't ask, so I just stopped by and took a look." He said, "What kind of trick? Tell me quickly, don't be shy, do you want me to take you back to Duchasi?"

That would be fatal, the official said without any hesitation: "It's a praising of meritorious service, and those soldiers like to play such a clever trick."

Die on the spot.

After finishing speaking in one breath, he handed over the letter and tightened his body.

Zhu Chuan took it and looked at it, then laughed, and patted him on the shoulder with the newspaper: "Not bad, not bad, this is really clever."

After saying that, he dropped the letter and turned to leave.

All the people in the hall waited until they could no longer see this person in sight, and did not see the dark Ducha Siwei rushing in to arrest people. When other officials in the courtyard walked around, they asked curiously why they were standing still. He didn't move or speak, only to recover in one breath.

It's all right. It's all right.

"It's definitely okay." An official came to his senses at this moment, "Have you forgotten? That Liang was born in the Beihai Navy. This is the trace he most wants to erase."

Naturally, they won't trouble them for teasing Bei Haijun.

Maybe they will also take the opportunity to find trouble with the Beihai Navy.

The officials in the hall were relieved.

"Hurry up and get to work." "Send these to each division."

The Yamen of the Ministry of War resumed its daily busyness, and Zhu Chuan also returned to the Duchasi, and told Huo Lian the good news of the Beihai Navy.

"It seems that the Great Wall on the border should be repaired, and the fighting has become more and more frequent in the past two years." Zhu Chuan said in a low voice.

Huo Lian hummed, did not speak, just looked at the table case in front of her, on which was a volume of records, which was sent by a stake placed in an official's home, recording the private words of the official's bed at night, He needs to find useful information from it, and then keep it in his mind, and take it out when the emperor needs it at a certain moment.

Zhu Chuan hesitated for a moment, and said again: "Why don't you, Commander, say something?"

He may not know the clever tricks of being a soldier, but as a former border guard, he is very clear about the tricks of the officials above. If a matter is in their hands, what can be done immediately will take a year. , It seems that it will be done immediately without delay, which does not reflect their importance.

Hearing these words, Huo Lian raised her head and looked at Zhu Chuan with deep eyes.

"I talk?" he said. "Have you forgotten who I am?"

He reached out and brushed his robe lightly.

"We are evil soldiers in the eyes of the world, and what I say is to kill people."

Zhu Chuan hurriedly squeezed out a smile: "I'm just joking." Without waiting for Huo Lian to speak again, he hurriedly changed the subject, "Commander, Liu Yan is out of Beijing."

Huo Lian snorted.

With his status, he couldn't leave the capital easily, and so did Liu Yan.

Beijing now
"It seems that the thing he was responsible for watching has begun."
