Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 276
over the pier,
Listening to the melodious bell, Zhang Jinyu just got off the boat at this moment, and paused suspiciously for a while until the bell fell,

Looking in the direction of the bell, it should not be far from here, and then said;

"The sound of the bell is thick and powerful, and melodious and long-lasting. It must be the sound of a thousand-year-old temple or the main altar of Taoism."

"Haha, Master Hou is very knowledgeable."

A burst of laughter came from not far away, and I saw Zhao Si, Eunuch Zhao, walking over surrounded by a large number of soldiers from the Imperial City Division.

Wearing a bright red robe of a chief eunuch, a purple gold crown on his head, and a little rouge on his face, this look is no one else.

Zhang Jinyu couldn't help but take another look, and asked,

"Oh? Could it be that Eunuch Zhao knows the source of the bell?"

"I must know that this bell is from a temple on the cold mountain outside Jinling City. It is considered to be a thousand-year-old temple, and it is very old. This bell is also the treasure of the temple in the temple. It is said to ward off evil spirits and get rid of bad luck."

Zhao Si and Eunuch Zhao praised it there, showing off what he knew. Zhang Jinyu was also very interested. There is even a temple, which must be from the Buddhist family. The charm of the temple.

"Eunuch Zhao is indeed knowledgeable and broad-minded. He knows the details of Jinling so well. It can be seen that he has put in a lot of effort. Zhang admires him."

Zhang Jinyu also pretended on purpose, and kept praising her there. Although it was a bit hypocritical, this skill must be perfect.

Seeing Luo Yunhou's flattery, Zhao Si laughed heartily. He couldn't figure out how to be so happy, and he also forgot where this place was, and continued;

"Hey, Hou Ye boasted, Zajia's heart is warm, what's the matter, there are Yangzhou skinny horses on the Qinhuai River in Jinling City, but they are all unique in the south of the Yangtze River, Dawu's gold-selling cave."

The two of them flattered each other there as if no one else was around, as if they were close friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. The personal guards and soldiers of the Imperial City Division were closely guarding their sides, and they did not dare to slack off at all.

Zhang Jinyu looked around and saw that the surroundings were almost under control, and said,

"That's right, Eunuch Zhao, get on the horse. As soon as you mention Jinling City, we still have business to do. Go straight to the old palace to gather the four guards of the Imperial Army."

"That's right, it's important. Li Qianhu took our people on the horses and lit up the flags, as well as the flags of Lord Hou's imperial envoys. The sky is upside down, and they dare to hit the miscellaneous family and Lord Hou. "

"Yes, Grand Duke, I will obey your orders, get on the horse, and light the flag."

The 1000 men and horses of the Imperial City Division got on the horse directly, and after Li Yun helped Zhao Si get on the horse, he led the people to surround Eunuch Zhao tightly, and the flags and torches were shot out.

Seeing Zhao Si being so careful, Zhang Jinyu also admired it. It really is that he lives a long life with pity, and he is also careful in his heart.
"Brothers get on your horses and go straight to Jinling City."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

The tens of thousands of elite cavalry assembled simultaneously got on their horses, and then Yong Bian waved his whip at the front,
"Go, drive,"

"drive!"

"drive!"

The sound of rumbling horseshoes resounded through the market town.

The guards, on the other hand, drove people out from house to house, and their attitude was also arbitrarily violent. They would smash and rob them if they broke into the house, and they touched the little daughter-in-law by the way, causing the sound of cursing and crying in the town .

The restaurant was also broken into by the guards,

"Get the fuck out of here, stand up one by one, anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

Many merchants in the restaurant, as well as passing scholars and others, all came out timidly, and it was unavoidable to be noisy.

backyard,

The protector on the right asked with a look of embarrassment;

"Master, please, are we hiding underground or in the attic?"

"What are you hiding, go upstairs to the boat to eat, I haven't seen my junior sister for a long time, the frontier soldiers outside the customs are barbaric, they take everything in one pot, they don't even leave a way out, really, hey."

Bai Shuiyue changed her clothes, then took out the badge of the Marquis Mansion and put it on her body, if she didn't know how long she would hide, it would be a waste of time, it's better to enter the game directly.

"Here, listen to the leader."

Seeing the leader take out a token with the characters of Luo Yunhou and Zhang written on it, he knew that the leader had prepared for it, and he was relieved. The encirclement and suppression by the frontier army was indeed overbearing.

"It's brewed, there are still people who haven't come out, hurry up, if I find it, you will look good."

The guards downstairs suddenly became stiff, they hadn't been in such a mood for a long time, and they really leaned against the big tree to enjoy the shade.

Looking at this group of people who were not to be offended before, but now they are all very honest, not to mention how happy they are, seeing a fat gentleman who looks like a gentleman, he couldn't help kicking him,
"you."

The fat member's face was also flushed with anger, and he dared not speak out.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the guards became even more enraged, and pushed again arrogantly,
"Why, still not convinced, believe it or not, I want you to look good."

"Hey, why are you so arrogant, you look like a dog, when did the guards become so capable, and they are so domineering, why don't they go to the border to guard the border for the court, what are they doing here!"

A pleasant voice came from the backyard, which shocked the people in the restaurant, and then the leader scolded the boss with a blushing face;
"Where did that stinky woman come from? I don't know how she died. If you still don't get out, watch the man hiss."

I saw Bai Shuiyue, the leader of Bailian, coming out in plain clothes. Although his appearance was changed, his figure and plain face were even more fascinating. The soldiers of the guards stared straight at the sight, swallowed hard, and asked tremblingly. road;
"Who are you, you dare to confuse the army, I think you are a spy, follow me into the house to investigate."

As he said that, he wanted to catch Bai Shuiyue, but a group of big men came out behind him, and the right guard grabbed the wrist of the general with one hand, squeezed it hard, and the general wailed in pain,
"Haven't caught them yet,"

The rest of the soldiers drew out their long knives and were about to step forward. Bai Shuiyue took out the badge and said;
"Keep your dog eyes wide open to see what this is, the token of the Luoyunhou Mansion, I don't know how many heads you have grown and dare to speak like that."

The woman in front of Zongyi took out a token that he had never seen before. He was so arrogant that he was bluffed for a while, and the soldiers behind him were also suspicious and did not dare to step forward. They looked at each other carefully.

Say it's neither a retreat nor a retreat,
"Hey, so you wait here, you guys are watching here, and I'll report."

The general manager didn't dare to speak loudly, so after giving orders, he ran out of the restaurant and reported to the superior.

"General, there are people who claim to be the Marquis of Luoyun, and they hold the token of the Marquis's Mansion, so I dare not make a decision without authorization."

General Wei Jun didn't dare to make a decision on his own when he heard General Ba's reply. Brother Wei Jun still counted on Lord Hou, so he hesitated and asked;
"Wait, I'll report it, and you haven't acted out of line, have you?"

The general's face turned pale, sweat broke out, but he didn't know where the people below started messing around again, so he came over and slapped him a few times, and cursed;
"Don't kill me, you bastard, tell me what's wrong?"

"The humble job didn't touch them with a single finger, it was just a bit of gibberish."

He said what he was so frightened and aggrieved, but when he heard it, he hit harder and scolded endlessly;

"Why don't you molest your old mother? I don't know who can be offended and who can't be offended? Get out of the way and be careful with people. I'll go to the Commander."

"Yes, General, I will go back now."

Covering his face with the boss, he made repeated promises, and ran back, but he felt much more relaxed in his heart, and the matter was considered over.

This scene happened to be seen by the pioneer battalion soldiers led by Duan Hong when they were patrolling, and asked;

"What's going on, you see you beat someone up."

When he turned his head, he saw that it was General Duan who came here, so he immediately ran over seriously,

"Master, refer to General Duan. General, there is someone in the restaurant holding the token of the Marquis Mansion and claiming to be a member of the Marquis Mansion. The Marquis will only be an adult when he finds out and is preparing to report."

"What, people from the Hou Mansion? Have you checked?"

Duan Hong was a little alert, what was going on, there was someone here in the Hou Mansion, and he claimed to be, so why didn't he know.

"Back to the general, no, none of the subordinates know each other, so I dare not confirm."

The side general of the Wei army was behind the stand-in, and he was a little scared and stupid to talk to the general manager.

"Go and see and you'll know."

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Duan Hong didn't ask any more questions, and walked upstairs directly with his own soldiers, and the summation general hurriedly followed behind him.

"Come on, Lord Hou, Jinling City is ahead."

More than 1 cavalry rushed forward on the flat ground. Jinling City was not very far from the pier, and the roads between them were all flat roads, so the cavalry soon arrived.

"Come on, I see, Yongbyon, go ahead and call the door."

Zhang Jinyu was riding a horse, surrounded by soldiers holding torches, illuminating the road ahead, and guarding him closely.

"Yes, Lord Hou, hand it over to the last general."

Ningbian led a battalion first.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the government army on Jinling City were all leaning against the city wall with their spears in their arms, half asleep and half awake in a daze, unable to open their eyelids.

Officers above the captain level were nowhere to be seen. Even the captains were looking for a comfortable place to lie.Some people even set up a little bonfire to warm up the fire.

suddenly,

The ground trembled slightly, and the soldiers standing on the city wall felt it too, and some soldiers squinted their eyes and asked;
"What's the situation? Could it be that Dilong has turned over? There's something else going on in this big night."

"Sleeping to death, who knows,"

The soldiers guarding the city didn't care at all, and continued to squint their eyes and doze off.

On the other hand, the lieutenant who was sitting there warming up felt something was wrong. The ground dragon didn't turn over so continuously, and the trembling on the ground was getting bigger and bigger.

Cavalry, mass cavalry.

The captain was so frightened that he hurriedly got up and looked out of the city from the opening of the wall. In the distance, he vaguely saw a long team of fire dragons. The speed of their movement was definitely soldiers.

But where are there so many cavalry in the south of the Yangtze River? I haven't heard Shangguan say that there are officers and soldiers coming. Could it be the rebels or someone else.

"Hurry up, wake up your mother, a large number of cavalry outside the city are approaching, hurry up and blow the horn,"

The captain yelled, waking up all the government soldiers on the city wall. Many soldiers didn't realize what happened.

"What the hell are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and blow the horn. A large group of cavalry from outside the city is approaching. You guys should go and notify the general."

The captain jumped anxiously, and the soldiers of the government army glanced at the long flames not far from the city, and woke up in fright, rummaging for the horn, while the rest of them were holding weapons indiscriminately.

Fortunately, the sentinel found it and immediately blew the horn for warning;

"woo woo woo woo!"

In an instant, the melodious horn sounded over the ancient capital of Jinling.
