Ping An Biography

Chapter 314 Bamboo Curtain

The gates of Changde City were opened, "Kaka..." A large group of infantry cleared the way, and thousands of iron shoes trampled neatly on the road to form a terrifying sound. This monotonous music is the most intuitive response to power and violence.Both sides of the street inside the city gate were once again filled with civilians and generals who surrendered. The people who had kneeled here before from the Suzaku army were from the government this time.This scene of conquest was staged back and forth in Changde City, which fully explained the truth that whoever has the biggest fist is the ruler.

People are no longer allowed to walk around on the two main streets in the middle, north and south, and east and west, but they have not stopped people from watching. Both sides of the street are full of spectators.Onlookers are a great pleasure that ordinary people love to see, if there is no danger.

There are so many people coming out of the city now, which shows that everyone doesn't think the Suzaku Army is dangerous.Not long ago, the Suzaku Army maintained its occupation in Changde for half a year. It has seen people's hearts and ordinary people's military discipline for a long time.But that's all. People don't just support the "King of Xiang". The tax revenue of the Zhuque Army in the area it occupies is not less than that of the government, and it also half-robbed and half-buys a lot of fertile land on the outskirts of the city and distributes it to its soldiers; It is still within the tolerance of the common people, so we have to watch from the sidelines.

The marching troops ignored the civil and military officials kneeling on the side of the road at all. The infantry passed, and the cavalry came again, guarding a carriage and swaggering in through the city gate.

The horse-drawn carriage is a very common and ordinary vehicle in the southern region, with a felt roof for rain protection; like a house yyng hanging on the top of a mountain, it has its own regional characteristics.Zhang Ning was in the car. He usually rode a horse at most, but this time he was riding a car. Perhaps it was because he didn't want to show his face in public at this time. [

As soon as he entered the city, Zhang Ning lifted a corner of the bamboo curtain. He wanted to see the officials kneeling on the ground.But by chance, I saw an acquaintance on the side of the road, Mrs. Dong.His eyes couldn't help staying on her until the carriage gradually moved forward and her figure disappeared from sight.Zhang Ning didn't know why the Dong family was among the common people. A while ago, his whole body and mind were engaged in a life-and-death battlefield.

Mrs. Dong also saw Zhang Ning's face behind the bamboo curtain, and even walked a few steps forward along the street in disbelief, maybe he wanted to chase the carriage?She herself doesn't know.

He went to town as a victor.The people all over the city, the sergeants occupying the city wall were cheering, the atmosphere was so lively and noisy.However, Dong's heart felt desolate for some reason.

The carriage disappeared into the crowd, but the face behind the bamboo curtain still lingered in her mind.As the winner of an unprecedented battle, even Mrs. Dong knew that he would get a lot because of it, but that heroic face did not show the pride that a winner should have; fortunately, he did not, otherwise Mrs. Dong might feel even more uncomfortable, because of each other. The increased mood difference between them will make her feel more desolate.

Zhang Ning's face clearly had a kind of gloom, not the melancholy that hurts the spring and autumn, but deeper than that; she was sure that Zhang Ning was paying attention to herself, which made him feel a little better.When Dong Shi realized why she cared about what he thought, she couldn't control herself.

Dong was released when the war ended.But she couldn't be thankful, and Zhang Ning hadn't taken care of her for a long time, which made her very hurt and with a trace of hatred.

Sometimes she thinks about the wider place, and it is right to forget it.The husband encountered setbacks due to business affairs, even if the husband is gone, she has her own home and children, that is her destination.Since the humiliation was safely covered up, she has no ability to change anything, so she can just pretend that nothing happened... But she just can't help herself, not only can't forget the skin-to-skin kiss that day, but even his words and deeds. His tone of voice was lingering with every movement, and his reason became fragile.

The hatred in her heart was not because Zhang Ning had humiliated her, but because he ignored her.

Every time when people are still awake at night, all kinds of feelings are like a big mouse chewing on her heart, the torment is indescribable.She didn't know why this happened, so she was panicked and helped...

……

Zhang Ning returned to his former mansion again, just as he got off the carriage, he happened to find a leader of the evil cult nearby, and asked about Mrs. Dong.The boss didn't know about this matter, so he rushed to find Chunmei, the protector; for the prince to personally intervene, no matter how big or small it is, it is a big matter. After the war, people are even more in awe of the prince. What achievements have been made in what things have been done.

Chunmei rushed to the mansion and said: "Before the leader told us not to bother the prince with trivial matters, and also said that we don't have to embarrass my wife anymore. Later, our people went to Changde City first, and Mrs. Yu has many servants and houses in Changde. , I let her go home... I asked her yesterday, she seems to be going to the capital to take care of her son."

Zhang Ning was a little relieved when he heard this, and said casually: "Send someone to tell Mrs. Yu to make her feel at ease. Although I will not release her husband for the time being due to major considerations, it should not harm Yu Qian's life."

Chunmei giggled, then came over and whispered, "You really care about Madam."

Zhang Ning said sternly, "You should know whether you should say something or not." Chunmei laughed quickly, "Don't worry."

Chunmei was about to leave when Zhang Ning suddenly called her back and said, "Forget it, don't go looking for Mrs. Yu anymore."

Chunmei was even more surprised when she heard this, because it was rare for Zhang Ning to sway from side to side when speaking, but she couldn't ask any more questions, so she answered immediately.

After all, there was a woman who had a skin-to-skin relationship once, and she was not sold by a brothel. Zhang Ningfa was completely indifferent and indifferent. Chunmei's mention of "going to the capital to take care of her son" made him change his mind, and he thought it would be better not to pester her anymore. ...I did something wrong to others, so there is no need to keep them in the pit of fire.

Now that wexe's pressure has dropped sharply, he has a thought: If someone persuaded him that day, just say "there is no need to do this", he must not have done that thing.But he didn't want to regret what he had done. Now that he had done it, he did it. It was nothing serious. [

Soon Zhang Ning put this matter behind him, and just returned to Changde, there were many things, big and small.Right now, it is necessary to hurry up and make use of the abundant materials seized, and not let them fall into the pockets of various private forces; fighting is fighting for money and food, and materials are force, and we can no longer have no money and no money like in Chenzhou. Food is controlled by others, and people are poor and short-sighted, and the whole thing is almost over.

The most important thing in the near future is to prepare for entering Wuchang as soon as possible.
