Jinghong Tower

Chapter 243 A boy’s dream
Yu land.

King Zhouxiang of Kaizhou finally suffered the heaviest blow since he raised his army.

This blow did not come from the imperial army, nor did it come from the King of Jin, who was regarded as a scourge by King Kaizhou.

He never dreamed that it was a group of beggars who defeated the Kaizhou Army.

They held all kinds of weapons in their hands and wore all kinds of clothes. Some even wore women's cotton-padded jackets.

But this group of guys caught him off guard.

It was this group of beggars who attacked the Kaizhou Army stationed outside the city.

The enemies came too fast and too many, and the Kaizhou Army was caught off guard and ended in a disastrous defeat.

The remaining Kaizhou troops retreated into Kaizhou City in panic, and the city gates were closed tightly.

The beggars didn't chase them in, but something happened that King Kaizhou couldn't bear.

These guys robbed everything they saw, even the clothes on the dead.

The next day, the beggars retreated, and the Kaizhou Army went out of the city to check, only to find that the original tents and the carriages, horses, and food that they had not had time to take away were all gone.

What is even more shocking is the naked corpses on the ground!
The beggar buried the bodies of his companions, and those left unburied were all Kaizhou soldiers.

Moreover, these Kaizhou soldiers were naked and all their clothes were taken away.

Not even the inner clothes were left behind!

Even if the clothes were like this, let alone the weapons used by the dead man, they must all be gone.

Even the tarpaulin used to set up the tent was swept away.

Afterwards, King Kaizhou realized that this was the Huwei Army, and it was really an army composed of a group of beggars.

The king of Kaizhou felt that he had suffered a great shame and humiliation. He was defeated by these beggars, so he might as well let the king of Jin give him a beating.

However, according to news from the north, King Jin's life has not been easy recently.

He was just defeated by a beggar, but King Jin was chased and beaten by a woman, and a lot of territory was robbed of him.

King Kaizhou felt that losing to a beggar was much better than losing to a woman, at least he would still have some face.

Although he lost this battle, King Kaizhou didn't take this bullshit Huwei Army seriously.

mob!

How could it be compared with his Kaizhou Army? It was just an accidental victory.

But King Kaizhou misunderstood!
The black girl obviously looked at him differently. Before King Kaizhou could get over the insult from the beggar, the black girl launched a second attack.

If the last game was an overt attack, then this second game was a secret operation that was broken into pieces.

Kaizhou Prefecture, like other prefectures, has an influx of refugees unknowingly, and the more they are resettled, the more refugees there are.

As there were more refugees, the security in the city was not very good. Fights occurred from time to time, and there were even a few kidnapping cases.

So King Kaizhou ordered a group of refugees to be cleared out every ten days.

Some of the refugees were cleared and moved to the villages, where they could pay taxes to King Kaizhou if they settled there.

The other part of the refugees filled the army, especially since many people were killed and injured in the last battle with the Huwei Army, so there was an urgent need for recruitment.

Kaizhou City does not reject refugees, especially young and able-bodied refugees.

In recent days, many refugees have arrived in Kaizhou City. Zhou Deng, the eldest son and crown prince of Kaizhou King, ordered that the refugees be cleared out in three days.

With this cleanup, a new batch of blood can be added to the army.

But before the three-day deadline came, Zhou Deng's Prince's Mansion was attacked by this group of new refugees!
These refugees invaded the prince's house and only did one thing, which was to steal things!

He grabbed everything he saw, even the silver hairpin on the maid's head.

By the time the supporting troops arrived, these refugees had already run away, leaving only a mess on the ground and Zhou Deng's finger. That's right, the crown prince Zhou Deng was kidnapped, not just his whole body, but a finger.

King Kaizhou had six sons, but he only had one legitimate son, Zhou Deng.

Over the years, he devoted his efforts to training Zhou Deng, and Zhou Deng did not disappoint him. Zhou Deng was both civil and military, and he was the most outstanding even among the princes and grandsons.

If he hadn't had such an outstanding son as Zhou Deng, King Kaizhou would not have rebelled.

But now that Zhou Deng was kidnapped, King Kaizhou felt that his heart was about to break.

The other sons were all as sad as a rabbit or a fox, and the tears forced out of their eyes made the King of Kaizhou grit his teeth.

"Father, my eldest brother, Jirentianxiang, will definitely be fine."

"Father, your body is the most important thing, you and us."

King Kaizhou waved his hand and said to his cronies: "Have you received any blackmail letters?"

The confidant shook his head: "Not yet."

King Kaizhou closed his eyes and said to his cronies: "Go and put up a notice saying that I am willing to exchange one thousand gold pieces for the crown prince."

One thousand gold is equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver.

The other sons look at me and I look at you, exchanging crazy little looks.

There are frictions and conflicts between them, but they all have a common enemy, and that is Zhou Deng.

Facing Zhou Deng, they are comrades-in-arms and good brothers.

So King Kaizhou's notice was torn away as soon as it was posted.

The guards chased after the man who tore down the notice, but there was no sign of Zhou Deng.

This is here to cause trouble!
King Kaizhou was furious and ordered people to post notices outside the city.

But when the notice was posted, it was like a pebble dropped into the sea, without even a sound being heard.

King Kaizhou gritted his teeth and asked people to add weight.

Two thousand gold!
Still no movement!

Not to mention real Zhou Deng, not even fake ones.

In early spring and February, I spent time with King Kaizhou’s constant attention and constant thoughts.

The young boy also faced his first embarrassment in his growth in early spring and February.

He had a dream. In the dream, he came outside a very large courtyard. There were people standing guard outside the courtyard. The people standing guard had weapons in their hands that he had never seen before.

He saw a brother and sister walking into the big yard. The older brother was in his teens, handsome and strong, while the younger sister was only four or five years old and had a pretty face.

He watched them go in and out of the big yard, watched them grow up, saw his brother put on military uniform, and saw his sister grow into a slim girl.

Later, the brother disappeared, and only the grown-up sister came in and out.

The younger sister's short hair turned into long shawl hair. She was holding a book in her hands and carrying a drawing board behind her back.

The little girl turned into a youthful girl.

The girl turned around, her beautiful face seemed familiar.

The girl stretched out her hand to him and pinched his face.

The hands were very white and small, as soft as boneless, and they pinched his face itchingly.

The black girl woke up from her dream, her heart was pounding, and a bad feeling came from underneath her body.

It was still dark, so he avoided everyone and sneaked to the river to wash his clothes in the still cold water of early spring and February.
