A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 39: Chapter 39
Wonton Xi Shi on the side couldn't help laughing, "What's more, I'm not blind or dumb, I really care about you."

Then why don't you care? She saved lives, cured illnesses, and depended on her for food, drink, food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

But Yuan Wuyou feels that this is what she should do. Hua Xu has always been a woman earning money to support the family, and the head of the family should be open-minded.It's just that this ugly brother has a bad temper, as if he was spoiled by the Central Plains people.

She felt aggrieved and wanted to teach this disobedient brother a lesson.

But when she saw this guy scooping up a spoonful and stuffing it into her mouth, chewing vigorously, her eyes were gray-brown when they opened more and more, and the dark red scabs at the corners of the eyes couldn't hide the clarity, she lost her temper.

This is a plaything she raised with her own hands. It's good to be a little bit arrogant, the more individual it is, the more it looks like a real person.

So she turned her head and taught Mai Mai, "Eat."

Mai: "..." It's really a weird cycle.

A few people didn't eat a few mouthfuls, they heard cocks crowing and dogs barking not far away, the night wind blew the leaves rustling, swirled and rolled on the empty street, and in the dark building and fog, ash came from nowhere. Fluttering old widower.

Sure enough, the old lunatic was hoarse, and yelled in circles on the street:

"Xiao Chen! Did you find Xiao Chen? Go home with Lao Chen!"

The trio of dry wontons turned their heads and stared with their heads stiffened in unison.

The woman warned several people: "Hey! Just pretend that you can't hear or can't see. Don't pay attention to it. Be careful to provoke ghosts and gods."

The three of them had eaten enough and had enough rest. Wonton Xi Shi watched the sound of the seventh watch when Xu was playing, smiled and closed the stall and waited for her husband to come back. Yuan Wuyou wanted to go up and help, but the woman advised her to pack up her bag and sword quickly, presumably there was something wrong. It was time, but no more sound was heard.

Yuan Wuyou felt more and more panicked in this place.

But suddenly an old man ran out, described as crazy, rushed to Wuyou and told her that he was Chen Qian's confidant, Han Zigao was also killed by the rebel minister, he had to find Xiao Chen and bring him back to the Lord!
Yuan Wuyou stared in shock at the hem of the clothes that had been scratched dirty by his bloody palms. The female stall owner was chasing people away with a spoon, and she didn't forget to ask Yuan Wuyou not to believe her!Fear of causing death.

Yuan Wuyou said in his heart, he can't provoke ghosts and gods, only Xiaomi can.

At this moment, a few soldiers in bronze armor came from nowhere, wearing dark red military uniforms, their actions were neat and orderly, and they were well-trained at a glance. They rushed over and dragged the old madman away without saying a word.

The blood trailed all the way, and the old lunatic was still shouting: "Emperor Wen! The old minister is here! I, Hua Jiao, died at the hands of the false Qi Bainu, I am not reconciled!"

Someone among the bronze armored soldiers burst out, "Presumptuous! Bold!"

That rough shout was like the beating of a drum, accompanied by several extremely shrill screams.

A few black magpies sprang out from some branch of the tree and fled towards the moon.

Hua Jiao, who was supposed to die in the battle of Zhuankou, was killed by Cijiu in the street tonight in the small town of Qi State. Amid the sound of struggling and whimpering, he cried until his death, "I haven't found Xiao Chen, how can I go to see you!"

In the end, only vague and bloody laughter remained.

When the dead body was dragged away, Mai Mai hugged her elder sister beside her, and the little girl up to her neck was sobbing in her arms.

"Maimai is so scared... my sister protects me..."

The idiot boy at the side was not surprised, he just stood aside, watching the two sisters embrace each other coldly, and the newly appointed sister spoke words of reassurance.

I don't know if the watchman has also been killed, and there will be no report after Haishi.

After appeasing Mai Mai, Yuan Wuyou hurriedly helped the female stall owner close the stall, not daring to look back at the pool of blood.

It's a pity that it was too late, and the city gate was unlocked at some point.

After the curfew, the wind on the street was like a ghost crying. The female stall owner felt sorry for the three siblings who could not go out of the city. She was afraid that she would sleep on the street, so she invited her to stay at her home for a night.

——Suddenly outside the city, there was a heavy sound of arrows hitting the city wall, and there was also the sound of horseshoes and siege equipment rolling.

It was Zhou Jun who took advantage of the night to attack!It turned out that Duke Wei, who was newly transferred across from him, had planned and planned for many years to avenge the loss of the city in the Battle of Zhuankou.

In the city where the curfew has just been imposed, you can hear the ivy hitting the wall outside the city, and the sound of people climbing up and fighting with the tower guards.

Pushing the wonton stand, the woman froze on the spot, looking at a soldier of Qi State who fell from the tower, her eyes turned red immediately, and she called out her husband's name sadly.

No matter how inconspicuous the dust in the history books falls on ordinary people, it will be overwhelming, and it will be an unbearable disaster.

After the death of Emperor Chen Wen and Chen Qian in the past, Han Zigao, who was known as the first male empress through the ages, failed in his rebellion and was put to death.The confidant of Emperor Wen, Huajiao, the governor of Xiangzhou, knew that the liquidation of Emperor Chen Xin of the South would fall on him next, so he sent envoys to surrender to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he himself led the people to join the Houliang who was also a vassal of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

North Zhoutian and two years.

In order to capture the rebel general Hua Jiao, Wu Mingche, a fierce general of the Southern Chen Dynasty, triggered the "Battle of Zhuankou" that took many years, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Hou Liang who were involved in it ended in defeat.Not to mention the great loss of money and property, among the Zhou generals who participated in the war was the Duke of Wei, the brother of the emperor of Zhou and the confidant of the regent. He was originally ordered to meet Huajiao, the governor of Xiangzhou, but he was defeated in the war and was dismissed for his crimes. , Enduring humiliation for many years without avenging shame.

Today, Yousui City was suddenly invaded by foreign enemies. Duke Wei of Zhou State, the leader of the army, avenged Qi State for helping Chen State kill Hua Jiao and the battle with Zhuankou.

But Hua Jiao had just been killed, just to make a name for Zhou Guoshi.

Seeing a large number of black-robed enemy troops raiding from outside the city, holding a huge military flag with the national title of "Zhou" and some smaller general flags, the soldiers stationed in Yousui City went out of the city to fight under the order of the city lord.Yuan Wuyou mingled among them, snatched a Zhou Jun's horse, let Xiao Shitou hold the child, and himself rode with his younger sister on the same horse as Mai Mai.

Three people and two horses left Yousui City ten miles away and fled to a village. The chaotic fighting lasted for about an hour. The villagers who were awakened went out to watch, but they heard the passing enemy troops verbally issued a notice of peace for the people, saying that Yousui City had fallen , this place has since been placed under the state of Zhou.

When Mai Mai heard it, she slumped on the ground on the spot, almost fainting.

At the same time, I also learned the details of the battle.Just now, the enemy army of the state of Zhou asked the female city lord to surrender, but the female city lord refused, and led the crowd to fight to the death. Now she has died in battle and was decapitated.

The villagers on the border have long been accustomed to seeing the city change owners. Even if the Yousui City guarding them not far away was burned red, they were ordered by the Zhou army to "behead those who disobeyed the people" and drove them back to their respective homes, and pulled the bolts. The courtyard is locked, and the doors and windows are closed.

The three people who were not part of the villagers were homeless. Fortunately, those Zhou soldiers did not come to catch suspicious people.

The three of them mounted their horses again, climbed to the high hill at the head of the village, looked at the screaming and the sea of ​​fire in despair, sat on the wheat in their arms, grabbed Yuan Wuyou's waist with their backhands, and cried:
"Please go back and save my sister! Sister Yi, go and save my sister!"

Yuan Wuyou dismounted her from the horse, and after quick deliberation, he arranged:
"Xiaomai, you and brother Shitou ride on your sister's horse, and I ride Zhou Jun's broken horse back to the city to rescue sister Zhuang. I can't do it with you two."

Hearing this, Little Stone climbed off the horse, walked up to the girl, and grabbed her by the saddle.He looked up at her, eyes glistening with moisture.
