The last three kingdoms

Chapter 948 The Jinyang City Resurrected
Since the rebellion of the Huns was put down, Jinyang City has returned to its former peace. According to the agreement reached between Jin and Shu, Jinyang City was divided into two parts. The east of the city was controlled by the Jin army, and the west of the city was controlled by the Shu army. The dividing line between the two sides is Tangming Street, the central axis of Jinyang City.

Tangming Street is a street that runs between the South Gate and the North Gate. For the convenience of management, only the East Gate and the West Gate were left in Jinyang City to facilitate the entry and exit of the Jin and Shu armies. The South Gate and the North Gate were completely closed. It was sealed with sandbags.

There were not many Jin soldiers and Shu soldiers who entered Jinyang City to garrison. There were only 1000 people on each side, and there were neither one more nor one less. Hu discussed it verbally.

A part of the troops, say more or less, is more than enough to maintain law and order in the city, but it is far from enough if there is a war.

However, after the main forces of Jin and Shu entered Jizhou, Jinyang calmed down.

The commander of the 1000 troops of the Shu army is Wang Qing, the Sima of Biebu. Wang Qing is from Yongliang. He was born in Jincheng County. When the Shu army recruited soldiers in Jincheng, Wang Qing was recruited into the army. He was promoted to Sima of another department, and was transferred to Jinyang as a garrison.

For more than a year, Wang Qing's tasks are quite easy. Every day he just patrols the city, walks around, and basically has nothing else to do.

Tangming Street is where Wang Qing must come every day. This street, which is several miles long, is the dividing line between the Jin and Shu armies. Both sides of this street.

Tangming Street is now a restricted area, and all merchants and common people are prohibited from passing through. If the people in the west of the city want to go to the east of the city, they can only go out of the city through the west gate, and then enter the city through the east gate. , now want to see the last side, but also have to detour for a long way.

This caused a lot of complaints from the people in the city, but when they saw the gleaming swords and guns and the gloomy faces of the soldiers guarding Tangming Street, even the most daring people dared not move forward. A ban is a ban, no matter who violates it , will be shot to death, these ordinary people dare not make fun of their own heads.

In the middle of Tangming Street, there are some barriers and fences piled up, which seem to separate the territories of the two countries on purpose, but not all obstacles are there. Many sections of the road are still blank, but even if there are no obstacles , and no one dared to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

Wang Qing is one of the few people who can cross the red line. A few months ago, by chance, Wang Qing unexpectedly discovered that the captain who commanded the Jin army was actually his brother Wang Ying. Wang Ying was originally from Jincheng County. He moved to Hedong County with his parents when he was young, enlisted in the army as an adult, and served as a lieutenant in the army. This time he was transferred to Jinyang. Even he never dreamed that he could see his childhood playmate Wang Qing here.

The unexpected reunion made the two brothers very excited, completely forgetting their hostile relationship. Whenever they had the opportunity, the two always got together to chat about old affairs and divorce each other.

When the Jin and Shu armies fought in Jizhou in autumn, the situation in Jinyang City also became tense for a while. The two sides were at war, and it seemed that the war was about to break out.

However, Jizhou is fighting like a raging fire, while Jinyang seems to be a forgotten city. The Jin army and Shu army stationed in Jinyang have not received an order to start the war. Since there is no order from above, the two sides can only fight Temporarily maintain such a relationship, stalemate, confrontation.

However, this does not seem to prevent the two brothers Wang Qing and Wang Ying from coming to reminisce about the old days. Every day after dinner and leisure, Wang Qing will always patrol Tangming Street. If he happens to meet Wang Ying, Wang Qing will definitely meet him Talk to him a little longer or give him something.

In the twinkling of an eye, winter went to spring, and everything in Jinyang City remained the same, calm and without any waves.

This day, Wang Qing carried a jug of wine and excitedly went to look for Wang Ying. This jug of wine was a hometown wine given to him by a veteran returning home to visit relatives. It was specially brewed by Wang Qing's old parents after they found Wang Ying Wang Qing specially prepared to share this altar of fine wine with Wang Ying.

It just so happened that Wang should be on duty today, and the two met at a cross street. Wang Qing laughed and said, "Brother, today you are lucky. Look, what is this?"

Wang Ying glanced suspiciously. Isn't it just a jar of wine? Since the two brothers met, they have been drinking a lot. What's so strange about it?

Seeing Wang Ying's puzzled expression, Wang Qing pretended to smile mysteriously, opened the lid of the wine jar, turned the mouth of the jar towards Wang Ying, and said, "Brother, are you here to smell it?"

Wang Ying sniffed it, and suddenly said: "It smells so familiar, could it be the wine from Jincheng's hometown?"

Wang Qing smiled proudly: "It's been so many years, it's rare that you can still remember the taste of this wine."

Wang Ying sighed softly and said: "I remember when we were young, the two of us went to the cellar to steal wine and drink together. We were so drunk that we couldn't even get out of the cellar. When your father came back, he caught us and beat us up. But the taste of that wine is something I will never forget in my life."

Wang Qingdao: "After that, your family moved away. My father always regretted the beating you. He didn't hear about you, so he specially brewed a jar of wine and sent it to Jinyang to show that he beat you. sorry."

Wang Yingdao: "It's rare that the old man still remembers such a trivial matter, but it's a pity... let's not talk about it, it's rare to be happy today, how about you brothers drinking this jar of wine together?"

"Okay! The old rules, you take a bite and I take a bite!"

The two drank in turn, laughing heartily from time to time, and soon the jar of wine was drained. Seeing that there was only the last sip of wine left, Wang Qing handed the jar to Wang Ying and said, "Brother, this The last bite is yours."

But Wang Ying moved, but did not pick up the jar. Wang Qing was puzzled and was about to pass the wine jar over when he felt a chill in his lower abdomen. On the lower abdomen, Wang Ying moved his hand from under the jar, Wang Qing didn't notice it at all.

The wine jar fell to the ground and shattered, and the aroma of wine filled the night sky.

"Why?" Wang Qing covered the wound with his hands, and stared straight at Wang Ying, his eyes full of disbelief.

Wang Ying's face was pale, and he took a step back. Under the moonlight, his face became hideous and terrifying.

"No reason, the fault is that you and I are the masters of each other!"
