Nightfall

v4 Chapter 38: Weicheng drunk

When Ning Que woke up, it was still dark, and it was dark on the shore of Bibi Lake. He poured the leftover lamb into the ashes of the bonfire in front of him, walked back to the carriage with Sang Sang, and then let the **** horse start to go south.

The speed of the black carriage is no longer as fast as it was a few days ago. It didn't start until early in the morning. It was almost noon before it came to the periphery of the Tucheng south of Subi Lake.

Sang Sang had already awakened, leaning on the car window, looking at the increasingly familiar landscapes, and did not speak until he saw the border town surrounded by loess in the distance, his expression changed slightly.

Ning Que looked at the small town in the distance and said, "Look at it twice, and we may never see it again."

The life of the two in Minshan was full of cold and **** betrayal until they came to Weicheng to join the army, and they finally had a relatively peaceful life. The first time they tasted the warmth of the world, they lived a lot in this border town Years, owning a home still has a lot of debt.

Weicheng is their real hometown.

...

...

Ma Shixiang has been in Weicheng for many years. Because there is no family background, there is no major war between Datang and the Golden Account, and military accumulation is extremely difficult, so he has never been promoted.

In another year, he will leave the frontier army and return to his hometown in Langan County. He is very satisfied with this, because he has accumulated a lot of silver and silver in these years. The only regret is that he has less money to firewood in recent years. A lot.

Since the guy left Weicheng with his maid, Weicheng's luck seems to have deteriorated, and the pressure on the Golden Horde on the wasteland on the border of the Tang Dynasty has gradually increased, although the Golden Horde is still afraid to commit crimes. However, the cavalry of the big tribes often pretended to be horse thieves and attacked the logistic horses heading for Helan City. This made the Seven Walled Villages, including Weicheng, and even the entire northern frontiers uncomfortable.

Another thing that annoys Ma Shixiang now is another thing. He looked at the dark cloud that gradually floated over Weicheng, his gray hair trembling slightly, and he wondered how he could deal with the big men in the city?

Today in Weicheng. In addition to hundreds of experienced cavalry soldiers, there were a lot of big figures a few days ago. The two real generals of the imperial department brought dozens of crossbowmen and more than ten officials at the Tianshu Department. There are also three adults from Qin Tianjian who came to this humble border town for some reason.

It is said that the situation of the other frontiers in the Seven Walled Villages is similar. It's just that Weicheng is obviously the focus of the monitoring of the big men in Chang'an City. Among the more than ten officials of the Tianshu Department, there are actually several strongmen from the south gate.

The powerful Yamen in Chang'an City seems to have transferred all the forces to it, and it has taken over the jurisdiction of the border very directly. Surprisingly, Beidaying did not make any violent response to this.

There are no secrets in the world that can be kept absolutely. The reason why these people came to Weicheng has been spread for the first two days. The people in Weicheng were shocked, but they had to accept it. Because they all saw the decree issued by the Xiling Temple and knew that thing was true.

As the dark cloud drew closer and closer, Ma Shixiang's mood became heavier and heavier. He didn't know what he should do and what he could do. When the military commander issued a military order, he didn't hear it.

"General Ma, have you heard me? Immediately lead the cavalry out of the city and rush to the clouds, at all costs, but also to stop the black carriage for me!"

Chen Ming, a member of the army, shouted.

Ma Shixiang was in a good mood. Please show: "Just drive away?"

A gloomy Nanmen Guandao said: "If you have the opportunity to kill the Pluto's daughter, of course you can't miss this opportunity, and let your subordinates act by the time and cooperate with us."

...

...

Hundreds of horses were riding out of Weicheng, with several horse carriages in between. Ma Shixiang at the forefront was very silent, and the cavalry of Weicheng were also very silent. The team came to a slightly higher meadow in a silent and oppressive atmosphere.

The dark cloud had already crossed the meadow, and it was extremely wide. The front end was about to enter Weicheng, but in the end, it seemed that it was still staying near Subi Lake.

The cavalry looked up at the clouds above them and remained silent, but the expression on their faces was extremely complicated. When they looked down, they saw the black carriage slowly walking under the clouds and exclaimed.

Several adjutants and hundreds of cavalrymen looked at their chief at the same time. Ma Shixiang pulled the reins by hand, the blue tendons appeared and disappeared, but his face was expressionless, and there was no command.

An official from Tianshu Department stepped off the wagon and looked at the black wagon on the wilderness in the distance. His expression suddenly froze, and he found that the cavalry around him had no movement and shouted angrily: "What are you waiting for?"

Ma Shixiang said: "The military order I received was not to allow the black carriage to enter. Now that it has not entered, then we naturally have to wait."

The former Nanmen Taoist shouted sharply: "This is a great opportunity to kill the nun. What are you hesitating? Do you want to let that carriage go?"

Ma Shixiang still expressionless, said: "I am a Datang soldier, only execute military orders."

Tianshu Department officials hurried to a carriage in the back, watching the military officer waving his arms angrily and shouting: "The military must cooperate with our actions, you immediately ordered the cavalry to attack!"

The military officer was silent.

The Qin Tianjian officials had the lowest status and persuaded in Pannah: "Although the court issued a document requesting us to monitor and drive out, it is not stated in His Majesty's will to take the initiative."

Ning Que and Sang Sang reappeared and are fleeing. This incident caused a storm in Chang'an City, but the forces within the empire had different views on this matter.

The chief of the Tianshu Department, Zhuge Wuren, was a close friend of the Queen Mother. She was thinking of gathering the power of the empire, destroying the black carriage, and killing Ning Que by the way, removing a heart disease for the Queen Mother. There is no opinion on Ning Que, but they who believe in Haotian, of course, are wholeheartedly thinking of killing Sang Sang.

Her Royal Highness Princess Li Yu made good friends with Ning Que and Sang Sang, but this was even more so in the face of the catastrophe that the whole world might come to. The more she wanted to keep silent, it was just beyond everyone's expectation that the strongest and most important military was not very positive about this matter. For example, the military clerk had never spoken.

The Datang military has a very high status and only listens to His Majesty ’s will and superior military orders, so the military officer does not speak. No matter how anxious and angry the officials at Tianshu Department and the Taoists at Nanmenguan could not force Ma Shixiang to order the Weicheng cavalry to attack without Tang Qi ’s protection and cooperation. Where did they dare to get close to the black carriage?

The Weicheng cavalry stood on the meadow and looked at the black carriage, while the people in Weicheng stood on the Tucheng. Looking at the black carriage, inside and outside the city, the emotions are all the same.

The people in Weicheng watched Ning Que and Sang Sang grow up. They could not think of it. After Ning Que left Weicheng, there would be such a big noise, and his little maid turned into a daughter of light.

Ning Que and Sang Sang are now well-known celebrities, the biggest celebrities that have appeared since Weicheng, and Weicheng's greatest pride. It is the object that everyone talks about, it is the light of Weicheng.

The owner of the gambling shop supported the soil arrow stack, looked at the black carriage in the distance, and sighed, "He still owes me a dozen gambling debts. It seems that he can't get it back in his life."

A black-faced aunt looked at him mockingly and said, "Ning Que and Sang Sang sent the silver from Chang'an City every month. But the people in the city divided it. Did you give your silver to the dog?"

The shop owner smiled awkwardly, and then said nervously: "Just telling a joke ... Speaking of it, thinking about the hard work of the little girl holding a hip flask every day at that time, who could think that she would become The daughter of light eventually became the daughter of Hades. "

People on the earthen walls of Weicheng. The emotions are very complicated. Many people looked at the black carriage in the distance, very frightened, listening to Pluto's daughter, even pale.

The aunt looked at everyone's expression and spit at the earth wall: "Wow! Ning lacks full stomach and bad water, all Weicheng knows, but Sang Sang's girl is kind-hearted, how could it be the daughter of Hades?"

"That's what the Xiling Temple said."

"Xiling Temple also said that we Tang people are guilty, why don't you jump down and commit suicide?"

...

...

The memory quarrels and even insults in Weicheng did not affect the hundreds of cavalrymen on the meadow. There was still silence. An officer who came to Weicheng to take up his job this year, some could not bear the repressive atmosphere between the field, and some from Tianshu The strong pressure of the officials in the office whispered next to Ma Shixiang: "General, killing the Pluto's daughter is a marvelous thing. Even taking some risks is worthwhile."

Ma Shixiang glanced at him, did not speak, and then looked at the black carriage again, frowning slightly, suddenly waving his whip, rewinding back to the meadow and going back to the city.

Hundreds of cavalrymen ran down the meadow.

A Nanmen Guanluo man rushed to Ma Shixiang's horse, and his face was somber as if to drip, shouting loudly: "Ma Shixiang, what are you going to do! Before leaving, the Taoist person directly killed you!"

Ma Shixiang shouted: "Your Majesty has a will, and I will send troops. Your Majesty has no will. Are you a mixed-haired old man who counts as a hair?"

Officials from the Tianshu Department hurried over and scolded severely: "How did you stop the carriage outside the city after you dispersed your cavalry formation?"

Ma Shixiang said: "The carriage won't enter Weicheng."

The official shouted sharply: "Ning Que wants to go back to the academy, how could he not enter Weicheng!"

"You know Mao."

Ma Shixiang looked at the Tianshu Department official with contempt and said. Then he hit the horse's belly and slammed the official away. He took hundreds of Weicheng cavalrymen and flew away with smoke. After a while, he entered Weicheng.

That night, Ma Shixiang and several adjutants ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ and all the cavalry who had participated in the cutting of firewood in Subbi Lake squeezed the only restaurant in Weicheng into a tight air.

Everyone told the story of Bibi Lake, the ruined small courtyard, the little maid carrying water, in order to remember the Zuojiu, and soon all the wine saved by the restaurant owner was drunk.

Ma Shixiang was the military chief of Weicheng. No one dared to compete with him, so he drank the most, and when the taste became stronger, he looked at the people in the restaurant and said, "When Ning Que left Weicheng, he said three words to me. For those three sentences, I will not use a knife on him. "

A lieutenant hiccupped and said, "I asked you at the beginning, what exactly are the three sentences of Ning Que's kid? You have refused to say, can you say it now?"

Ma Shixiang caressed his beard and said, "Not to be said, not to be said."

That night, Ma Shixiang was drunk and Weicheng was drunk.
