Chapter 84: Good luck

In late October, Cangzhou City was noisy.

King Yàn is mighty!mighty!Countless soldiers were shouting, and the sound of shocking shouts came one after another, and the formation was very magnificent.Inside and outside the dilapidated city wall, there were surging soldiers and cavalry everywhere.

King Yàn rode a tall horse and entered the city with his hustle and back. The wind blew his cloak high.

The war horses swayed towards the corridor. The king raised his head and chest out. When he looked up, the flags of the army were planted everywhere on the city tower.

A group of civil and military officials knelt on both sides, trembling with fear.Governor Xu Kai was tied up and several people knelt on the ground while pressing him.

Zhang Yu's face was flushed and she said excitedly: Prince, there are a large number of supplies, food and grass in the city. This time we have even food and grass!

King Yàn nodded calmly and glanced at Xu Kai with his eyes slanted.

Xu Kai said angrily: Yàn attacks against the enemy, and you won’t be powerful!

King Yàn suddenly showed a sneer on his face. Just by your words, can you be the governor and lead the troops?

This time, the Yàn army suddenly captured Cangzhou, and indeed used tricks.The Yàn army initially made a move to attack Liaodong, but the cavalry suddenly drove south and caught Xu Kai off guard...

……

Good news!Good news!King Yàn defeated Cangzhou and captured the governor Xu Kai alive!Good news...

Three war horses whizzed past Beiping North and South Street, and the knight on the horse's back shouted on the spot.The more you promote this kind of military information, the better. The message of victory can stabilize the hearts of the people in Peking City.

...By early December, something new happened in Peking City.

The Yàn army defeated the official army at the shekkou and killed Sun Lin, the general of the official army!

Everything went smoothly. When Zhu Gaoxu went to the Yàn Palace to meet Princess Xu, he also felt that Princess Xu was not very worried.

After all, although King Yàn has suffered losses in small ways since his rebellion, he has never lost in every battle!

King Yàn used his military achievements to strengthen people's recognition of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

As King Yàn expected, there were not even decent cavalry. Before the battle started, the official army suffered a great loss in the maneuver and lost the initiative in the battle.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and Zhu Gaoxu was just in the excuse of the severe cold to suspend the helpless training mission.

All he recruited were military surplus and coolies, and many people could not even shoot arrows. How could they develop combat power in a short while?

The power of the firearm at this time is not strong enough, and the cold weapons are still determined by the outcome. The soldiers’ personal force and courage are very important.

A few months ago, Wang Gui bought a broken house diagonally opposite Chi Yueguan.Recently, Zhu Gaoxu also brought a quilt to the place, mainly for Wang Gui to guard him, and he also went there to change shifts from time to time.

Life is quite boring. Zhu Gaoxu even remembers the paint clearly on the Chi Yueguan Gate and wherever it falls. Sometimes he will have hallucinations and imagine the colorful paints as various patterns, just like graffiti in childhood.

But Zhu Gaoxu has the characteristics that the nobles of this era do not have, such as enough patience and the habit of enduring loneliness!

A writer in his previous life said: loneliness and poverty always go hand in hand.

This sentence is very suitable for his previous situation.

One morning, something interesting finally happened.

In winter in Peking, it is very late. At this time, the sky is just bright, and it is foggy at night, and the scenery outside the window is even more blurry.

Zhu Gaoxu was guarding the second half of the night, and after most of the night, he had already started dozing off... If it weren't for the sound of the carriage wheels, he might not have noticed that the carriage had arrived.

Zhu Gaoxu rubbed his eyes and looked out through a hole in the window paper.

The felt car parked at the door of Chi Yueguan. A man wrapped in a green fur coat walked out of the carriage, and even his head was covered with blue satin. His back was facing here, and his face was invisible.

But as soon as the man walked around, Zhu Gaoxu immediately concluded: She is Xu Miaojin!

Even if you are wearing a coat, you can guess the movements and twisting postures of walking... Xu Miaojin sent Zhu Gaoxu out a few times, because the twisting posture was too soft, so Zhu Gaoxu looked very carefully.

Sure enough, when Xu Miaojin turned around and spoke to the groom in front, a pair of charming almond eyes appeared in Zhu Gaoxu's sight on his silky mouth and nose.

The dark coat and headscarf made Xu Miaojin's upper face whiter, and her skin was indeed whiter.

Xu Miaojin said something to the groom softly, then turned around and walked towards the door of Chi Yueguan.She knocked on the door at the door, then suddenly turned around and looked around, even glanced at Zhu Gaoxu!

Zhu Gaoxu's heart suddenly became tight, but he was calm. It was not yet dawn outside, and it was covered with fog... This window was tall and small. If she could find herself through this small hole in the window, it would be a supernatural incident!

As expected, Xu Miaojin glanced at it a few times, and when the door opened, she went in.

Zhu Gaoxu reached out to cover Wang Gui's mouth and nose sleeping beside him. Wang Gui woke up quickly, let out a whimper, stared at Zhu Gaoxu, and his eyes gradually calmed down.

There is a situation.Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice.

Wang Gui hurriedly got up. He didn't take off his clothes and his movements seemed clumsy. He immediately looked over and went to another small hole.

At this time, the carriage outside still left.

Go to the yard and get the carriage ready.Zhu Gaoxu ordered.

Wang Gui clasped his fists for a moment, and without saying a word, he immediately jumped out of the bed and put on his boots, and trotted out of the door.

Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself: The carriage came from the Yàn Prince's Mansion just now, and Xu Miaojin must have asked him to go back first, and agreed to when to pick it up... Xu Miaojin may transfer to the door next.

He guessed correctly. After waiting for a while, he saw the door of the Taoist temple open again and a carriage drove out of the yard.

Zhu Gaoxu calmed down and waited for the carriage to go out. He saw clearly that he was walking to the left. He immediately jumped out of bed quickly and put on his boots.Then take off the wide-brimmed hat from the wall and put it on, and walk quickly to the yard.

He glanced at the horse in front of the carriage and Wang Gui who was sitting in front of him, and without saying much, he opened the oil cloth curtain and walked up.

Go out from the main entrance.Zhu Gaoxu said, turn right after going out.

The main entrance of this broken yard is not facing Chi Yueguan, but it is on another street.

The door was already open, Wang Gui threw a whip lightly, and the carriage began to move.The wheels pressed over the threshold, and with a clang, Zhu Gaoxu also bounced in the car.

This carriage is quite old and tattered. Wang Gui didn't know where to buy it, but it happened to be useful.

There was a strange smell in the carriage, sour and sour, like someone who had been sitting next to him for a year and had not taken a shower.

Another whip sounded outside, and the carriage began to turn to the right.

Zhu Gaoxu took off the dirty cloth curtain that was shaking and looked forward.He was also very curious: Where is Xu Miaojin going?

No matter what, he felt a little excited and expectant. After all, Wang Gui and him have been in the broken house one after another for two months!

If Zhu Gaoxu hadn't thought about the past repeatedly and wanted to figure out what happened on New Year's Eve and what was the reason, he probably wouldn't have been able to stand it and had already given up.

However, people's curiosity and desire to pursue truth are indeed very powerful.
