The tent where the Emperor of the Liao Kingdom lived was made of several layers of cowhide. It was colorful and brilliant, and was called the Big Leather Tent.
It was a large tent in the leather room. Yelu Longxu sat in the middle and ordered Yang Peng to sit at the head. Not long after, hundreds of civil and military officials came to see him. The King of the North Court, the Privy Envoy of the North Court, Yu Yue, and the Privy Envoy of the South Court.
, General Pishi, junior general, cavalry commander, infantry commander, etc., Xiao Feng couldn't remember all of them at the moment. Yeqi Guanyin and Yeqi Hanyu sat around Yelu Longxu, discussing how to deal with Xiao
Tianzuo's method.
That night there was a big banquet in the tent. The Khitan people respected women. Han Bing, Yeqi Hanyu and Yeqi Guanyin also had to have a big banquet in the tent. The wine was like a pool and the meat was like a mountain. Ah Zi looked at it happily and her eyebrows were dizzy.
laugh.
When the wine was full, more than ten Khitan warriors fought in front of the emperor for a show. Each of them was naked from the waist up, grabbed, climbed and fell, and fought fiercely. Yang Peng saw that these Khitan warriors were vigorous and physically strong, and they could move with all their strength.
There is also a set of martial arts, although the changes are not as clever as those of the Central Plains warriors, but direct strikes, if used in group fights, seem to be less effective than the Central Plains martial arts.
The civil and military officials of the Liao Kingdom came up one by one to propose a toast to Yang Peng. Yang Peng refused to come and drank until the glass was dry. By the end, he had drunk more than three glasses, but he still looked calm, and everyone was shocked.
Yelu Longxu had always been a brave man, but this time he was defeated by Yang Peng. Everyone in the country knew that he wanted Yang Peng to show his superhuman abilities to cover up the humiliation of being captured. Unexpectedly, Yang Peng would not have to compete in the martial arts competition the next day.
He showed off his skills, and when Bike showed his drinking capacity, he overwhelmed the crowd and everyone admired him. Yelu Longxu was overjoyed and said: "Brother, you are the first hero of our Liao Kingdom!"
Han Bing suddenly interjected: "No, he is the first!" Yelu Longxu smiled and said: "Little girl, how can he be the second? So who is the first hero?" Han Bing said: "The first hero is naturally the first hero.
Your Majesty. Although Jin Yongsan has great abilities, he must obey and dare not disobey. Isn’t he number one?”
Yelu Longxu laughed heartily and said: "Well said, well said. Brother Jin, I want to grant you a big official title. Let me think about it, what should I grant you?" At this time, he was drunk.
He was eighty to ninety percent drunk and flicked his forehead a few times with his stretched out fingers. Yang Peng said hurriedly: "No, no, the villain is rough and rough, and he enjoys wealth. He has always roamed all over the world, and he is uncertain whether he will come to Taiwan or not. It is indeed not true.
I would like to be an official." Yelu Longxu wrote: "Okay, I will make you a high official who only needs to drink and don't have to do anything..." Before he finished his sentence, he suddenly heard a sharp whine in the distance.
The rapid sound of the trumpet.
A group of Liao people were sitting on the ground, drinking wine and eating meat. When they heard the horn sound, there was a sudden boom and they all stood up with panic on their faces. The horn sound came so quickly. When they first heard it,
It was still more than ten miles away. The second sound was already several miles closer, and the third sound was several miles closer. Yang Peng thought to himself: "No matter how fast the horse is in the world, or the first-class light body skill, it will never be like this."
Swift. Yes, it must have been a messenger station to deliver urgent military news in advance. As soon as the sound of the horn was heard, it was transmitted to the next station." The sound of the horn was heard flying, and as soon as it reached the leather room
Outside the big tent, there was a sudden stop. The officers and soldiers in hundreds of tents were cheering and drinking in chaos, but suddenly they were all silent.
Yelu Longxu looked calm, slowly raised the golden cup, drank the wine, and said: "There are traitors in the Queen Mother's camp. Let's go back and move the camp."
The marching general immediately turned around and left the camp to issue orders, but when he heard the order to "dispose of the camp" turned into ten, ten turned into a hundred, and a hundred turned into a thousand, the voice became louder and louder, but it was strict and orderly.
There is no panic, only panic and confusion. Ye Qi Hanyu thought: "We have established the Liao Dynasty for two hundred years, and the country's prestige has shocked the world. Although there is civil strife at this moment, there is no disturbance. It can be seen that the previous Liao lords have managed the army well."
But hearing the sound of horse hooves, the vanguard galloped out, followed by the vanguards on the left and right. The front army, the left army, and the right army drove southward back to the capital in groups.
Yelv Guanyin took Yang Peng's hand and said, "Let's take a look." One person walked out of the tent, but saw that in the dark night, each military flag was lit with a lantern, red, yellow, blue, and white, shining brightly.
, the remaining ten thousand troops marched south, but they heard the neighing of horses and hooves, but not a single human voice. Yang Peng was greatly impressed and thought to himself: "Who in the world can defeat the army like this? That day the emperor went hunting alone.
.If a large army comes, although the Jurchens are brave, they will eventually be outnumbered."
As soon as the two of them left the tent, the guards immediately set out to camp. In a short time, everything was neatly packed and luggage was packed, and the baggage was loaded on camels and carts. The marshal of the Chinese army gave the order, and the Chinese army set off immediately. Your Majesty, Beiyuan,
Yu Yue, the Grand Master, the Grand Tutor, etc. were all accompanying Yelu Longxu. Everyone looked solemn, but they all said something. Although the news of the chaos in the capital had been spread, it was not easy to understand who the leader of the chaos was and what the situation was.
.
The large group of people marched south for half a day, and after setting up camp at night, the first reporter galloped over and reported to Yelu Longxu: "The King of the South Courtyard made trouble and the Queen Mother, Xiao Tianzuo, and important ministers who were hunting were all taken prisoner.
Occupying the palace, all the princes, princesses, and family members of the officials, starting from the queen mother and down, have been arrested."
Yelu Longxu was shocked and couldn't help but change his face. Yeqi Guanyin and Yeqi Hanyu were also shocked. This time it was really the white tiger in front and the oriole behind.
The important military and state affairs of the Liao Kingdom were divided between the Northern and Southern Courts. The King of the North Court went hunting with the emperor, while the King of the South Court stayed in Beijing. The King of the South Court, Yelv Chun, was given the title of King of Chu. He himself was nothing more than his father Yelv Zhong.
Yuan was the uncle of the current emperor, and he was granted the title of Grand Marshal of the Army of the World, but this was no small matter.
Yelu Longxu's grandfather, Yeluyuan, was called Shizong in Liao history. Shizong's eldest son Zongzhen and his second son Chongyuan. Shizhen was kind and generous, while Chongyuan was extremely brave and strategic. When Shengshi died, the inheritance was passed to the eldest son.
Longxu, but the Queen of Shengzong was happy with her second son and conspired to make Chongyuan the emperor. As usual in the Liao Dynasty, the Empress Dowager had great power. At that time, Zongzhen's throne was inherently insecure and his life was in danger, but Chongyuan
Instead, he told his mother's plan to his brother, so that the Empress Dowager's secret plan could not succeed. Zongzhen was very grateful to his brother and made him the emperor's brother, which meant that he would be in his position in the future to repay his kindness.
Yelvzong's true Liao official was called Shizong, but after his death, the throne was not passed to the emperor's brother Chongyuan, but to his son Longxu.
After Yelu Longxu took over the throne, he felt relieved. He named Chongyuan the uncle of the emperor, which showed that he was still the crown prince of the Liao Kingdom. He also named him the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses.
With his top hat and two-colored robe, he was favored by the emperor and ranked first in the dynasty. He also named his son Nerugu the King of Chu, in charge of the important military and political affairs of the South Courtyard, and was called the King of the South Courtyard.
At that time, Yelu Chongyuan clearly could be the emperor, but he gave it to his nephew, which shows that he was both loyal and indifferent. Yelu Longxu took the Empress Dowager Xiao out to hunt, and handed over all the important military and state affairs in Beijing to the emperor's uncle. Without any suspicion. At this time, the news came that the person who was plotting the rebellion was actually Yelu Chun, the king of Nanyuan. Ye Qi Guanyin was naturally shocked and worried. She knew that Nerugu had a vicious temper and was extremely difficult to deal with. Since he had rebelled, his father There is absolutely no reason to stand up.
The king of Beiyuan said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I hope that the emperor's uncle will understand what is going on and will not allow him to rebel against his son. Maybe he will lead troops to quell the chaos at this moment." Yelu Longxu said: "I hope so."
After everyone had dinner, the second batch of newspapers arrived to report: "The King of Nanyuan has appointed the emperor's uncle as emperor and has issued an edict to the world." He did not dare to say the following words clearly and presented the edict of the new emperor with both hands. Longxu took it. After reading it, I saw that the edict directly denounced Yelu Longxu as a usurper and a false emperor, saying that the late emperor's younger brother was the emperor and would lead the army and horses of the world to attack Niyun Yun. Yelu Longxu was furious and threw the edict into the In the fire, it was burned to ashes. I was very worried and thought: "This false edict is so plausible that the soldiers and people of the Liao Kingdom may not be able to help but feel confused after reading it. The emperor's uncle is the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and he has a military talisman in his hand." , can mobilize more than 800,000 troops and horses, not to mention the troops and horses under the command of his son King Chu Nanyuan. I only have more than 10,000 people with me here, and I am outnumbered. What should I do?" I tossed and turned that night and couldn't sleep.
When Yang Peng heard that Emperor Liao wanted to make him an official, he wanted to take Han Bing and the secret guards with him and leave without saying goodbye in the dark night. However, seeing that Ye Qi Hanyu and Ye Qi Guanyin were in danger, he couldn't just leave. If I had to work hard for him, it would be a waste to have a date. That night when he was strolling outside the camp, he only heard the officers and soldiers talking quietly. They all said that his parents and wife were in Beijing, and they were all detained by the emperor's uncle. Fearing for their lives, some thought of their families and burst into tears. The cries were so touching that other officers and soldiers in the camp were in the same situation and started crying one after another. Although the commanding general tried his best to stop them, a few who cried particularly loudly were killed. It's embarrassing, but it can't be stopped.
Yelu Longxu heard the loud cries, and knew that this was a sign of the army's weakening morale, which made him even more troubled.
Early that morning, spies came to report that the Emperor Taishu and the King of Chu led more than 500,000 soldiers and horses, and invaded from the north. Longxu thought: "Today's matter, there is no advance or retreat. Even if the army is defeated, there will only be a fight to the death." All officials were immediately summoned for discussion. The officials were extremely loyal to Yelu Longxu and the Empress Dowager Xiao, and were willing to fight to the death, but they were worried about the morale of the army.
Emperor Longxu issued an order: "All the officers and soldiers will also fight against the thieves. After the peace is over, in addition to promotions, we will also give heavy rewards." Putting on his golden armor, he personally led the three armies and attacked the emperor's uncle's army and horses. When the officers and soldiers saw the emperor coming to the enemy in person, they immediately became courageous, shouted "Long live the emperor" and swore allegiance to the death. More than 100,000 soldiers and horses were divided into four groups: the front army, the left army, the right army, and the center army. , scattered on both wings.
Yang Peng, holding his bow and spear, followed Longxu as his personal guard. His family led a group of flying bear soldiers to protect Han Bing, Yeqi Guanyin and Yeqi Hanyu, who were in the rear. Yang Peng saw Yelu Longxu. His brows were furrowed, knowing that he was not sure about this war.
At noon, we suddenly heard the sound of a horn blowing in front of us. General Zhongyun gave the order: "Dismount!" All the cavalrymen jumped off their horses and walked holding the reins of their horses. Only Yelu Longxu and the ministers were still riding on their horses.
Yang Peng didn't understand why the cavalry dismounted, and was quite confused. Yelu Longxu smiled and said: "Brother, you have been in Goryeo for a long time, don't you know how the Khitan people march and fight?" Yang Peng said: "I was about to ask your Majesty for advice." Longxu said.
Longxu smiled and said: "Hey, Your Majesty, I wonder if I can do it until the sun goes down today. You and I are brothers, so why bother calling me Your Majesty?" Longxu heard the bitterness in his laughter and said: "The two armies are not yet ready.
Don't worry, Your Majesty." Longxu said: "When fighting on the plains, the most important thing is horse power. If you charge into the enemy's formation, you can move forward. The Khitan people conquered the east and west, and were victorious in every battle. This is a very important secret.
"
When he said this, the dust in the distance in front of him rose up, rising more than ten feet high, like yellow clouds coming over the ground. Longxu pointed his horsewhip and said: "The king of Chu, the emperor's uncle, has been in battle for a long time.
Why do our talented generals from the Liao Kingdom rush in with their troops without raising their horse power? Well, they are confident and confident that they are sure to win." Before he finished speaking, the horns of the left army and the right army were sounded at the same time. Yang Peng
Looking far into the distance, I saw two more enemy troops and horses to the east and two more to the west. That was a force of five against one.
Yelu Longxu's face changed color and he said to the general of the Chinese army: "Gather up a formation and set up a stronghold!" The general of the Chinese army responded: "Yes!" He rode out and gave the order. Immediately, the front army, the left army, and the right army all turned around.
After returning, a group of sergeants drove the pillars of the leather tent into the ground with big hammers, opened the tent, and planted deer antlers around it. In a moment, a huge wooden city was formed on the grassland, with front, rear, left, and right sides.
There were cavalry stationed there, and tens of thousands of archers hid themselves behind large trees, their bowstrings tightened, just waiting to fire arrows.
Yang Peng frowned and thought to himself: "After this battle, no matter who wins or loses, the Khitan clan will be littered with corpses. It is best to win with justice. If unfortunately we lose, I will not be able to defeat him."
Ye Qi Han Yu, Ye Qi Guanyin and Han Bing were rescued to a safe place. As for the emperor, it doesn't matter whether he does it or not."
Not long after the Liao emperor's camp was formed, the rebel vanguard had arrived, but they did not come forward to challenge. They stood far away with strong bows and hard crossbows, unable to shoot anywhere. However, they heard the sound of drums and trumpets incessantly, and groups of rebels surrounded them, forming a knot in all directions.
The formation was completed. Yang Peng glanced at the generals going out, but the enemy troops were everywhere and could not see the end. He thought: "The emperor's troops are far outnumbered and outnumbered. He is afraid that he must lose. It is not easy to break out and escape during the day, so he can only support him until night.
Then I can try to save him." But the shadows of the camp's trees were briefly reflected on the ground, and the sun was blazing in the sky. It was just after noon.
With only a few yapping sounds, a group of wild geese flew across the sky in formation. Yelu Longxu looked up and stared for a long time, and wrote bitterly: "I have to transform into a wild goose now, otherwise it will be difficult to fly with wings." The king of the North Campus and the general of the Central Army looked at each other and changed their expressions.
, knowing that the emperor was already timid after seeing the appearance of the rebels.
Drums were beating in the enemy camp, and hundreds of leather drums were beating loudly. The general of the Chinese army shouted: "Drumming!" Hundreds of leather drums were also beating in the imperial camp. Suddenly, tens of thousands of military drums from the opposite side stopped.
The shouts of the cavalry shook the heaven and the earth, and they charged straight at him with their spears raised.
Seeing the enemy forward approaching, the general of the Chinese army waved his flag down. The drums in the imperial camp stopped and tens of thousands of feather arrows were shot out at the same time. The enemy's forward fell to the ground one after another. However, the enemy troops came one after another and swarmed in.
On the way up, the fallen horses in front became the target of the rear army's arrows. The enemy infantry archers protected themselves with shields, rushed forward, and fired arrows at the imperial camp.
Yelu Longxu was quite frightened at first, but as soon as he entered the battle, his courage doubled. He stood on a high place, holding a long sword, and issued orders. When the soldiers of the imperial camp saw the emperor personally supervising the battle, they shouted, "Long live! Long live! Long live!" The enemy!
When the army heard the voice of "Long live", they looked up and saw Yelu Longxu in yellow robes and gold armor, standing on a high platform in the imperial camp. Under his prestige, he couldn't help but hesitate. Seeing the opportunity, the emperor shouted:
"The left army is riding and attacking, charge forward!"
The left army was led by Privy Councilor Mo from the Beiyuan. Upon hearing the emperor's order, 30,000 cavalry surrounded them from the side. As soon as the rebels hesitated, the imperial camp's horses had already rushed in. The rebels were immediately in chaos and retreated one after another. There was a drumbeat in the imperial camp.
With thunder and thunder, the rebels fought for a short time and then retreated. The imperial camp's army and horses moved forward to pursue them with fierce momentum.
Yang Peng was overjoyed and shouted: "Emperor, this time we have won a great victory!" Yelu Longxu came down from the stage, mounted his horse, and led the troops to support him. Suddenly he heard the horn sounding, and the main force of the rebels arrived. The rebel forward turned around and
Fighting, arrows and spears were flying in the sky in an instant, the sound of killing was loud, and blood and flesh were flying everywhere. Yang Peng looked at it and was surprised: "I have never seen such a vicious fight in my life. You are invincible in martial arts alone.
Even among these tens of millions of horses, they are completely useless, and at most they can only protect their own lives. When a large army fights, the group fights in the martial arts world are incomparable to the Japanese."
Suddenly, a loud sound of gongs was heard from behind the rebel formation, and the troops were ordered to retreat. The rebel cavalry retreated, and arrows shot out like rain, blocking the formation. The general of the Central Army and the Privy Envoy of the North Court led their troops to charge three times in a row, all of which disrupted the opponent.
Instead, thousands of soldiers were shot to death. Yelu Hongji said: "There are too many soldiers killed and injured, so we will withdraw our troops for the time being." At that time, the imperial camp also offered money to withdraw its troops.
The rebels also sent two groups of cavalry to attack. The Chinese army was already prepared. They pretended to be defeated and retreated, encircling the two wings. They surrounded and annihilated all the three thousand soldiers of the two groups of rebels. The remaining hundreds of people dismounted and surrendered. Hong Ji waved his left hand.
, the imperial camp sergeant swung his spear and stabbed hundreds of people to death. This fierce fight lasted less than an hour, but the killing was extremely brutal.
The main forces of both sides retreated tens of feet each, and the open space in the middle was covered with corpses. The wounded were shouting and wailing, and it was unbearable to hear. There were only a team of three hundred black-clothed soldiers on each side of the formation, and the ones in the imperial camp wore yellow hats.
The enemy soldiers wearing white hats went to the middle area to inspect the wounded. Yang Peng and Ye Qi Guanyin only thought that these people were carrying the wounded back for treatment, but they did not know that these officers and soldiers in black pulled out their long knives and wounded them one by one.
After they were hacked to death after all their injuries, the six hundred people shouted in unison and started fighting with each other.
Each of the six hundred black-clothed soldiers had strong martial arts skills, their long swords flashed, and they fought bravely. After a while, more than two hundred of them were chopped down to the ground. The yellow-hatted black-clothed soldiers from the imperial camp were more powerful in martial arts and were hacked to death.
There were only dozens of people, and it immediately became a situation where two or three people fought against one person. As a result, the number of winners and losers became even more clear. After a while, the fight turned into three or four people fighting against one person. But the officers and soldiers on both sides only shouted and cheered.
, hundreds of thousands of rebels stood by and did not send out more troops to rescue them. Finally, the rebels' 300 white-hatted and black-clad soldiers were wiped out one by one, and about 200 of the imperial camp's black-clad soldiers returned to the formation. Yang Peng thought to himself that the Liao people were here
This is the rule." Although the scale of this cleanup of evil on the battlefield was not as large as before, it was still more thrilling.
Ye Qian Longxu raised his long sword high and said loudly: "Although the rebels are numerous, they have no fighting spirit. If they fight again, they will be defeated and flee!"
The officers and soldiers of the imperial camp shouted in unison: "Long live, long live, long live!"
Suddenly I heard the trumpets sounding in the rebel formation, and five horses came out slowly. One person in the middle held a sheepskin in both hands and read aloud. What he read was the edict issued by the emperor's uncle: "Yelu Longxu usurped the throne, but he is a hypocrite." Your Majesty, now that the emperor's uncle is in office, all loyal officers and soldiers of our Liao Kingdom must return to Beijing and submit to the army on the same day, and they will all be promoted to the third level." More than ten archers in the imperial camp fired arrows at the man with a whistling sound. Go. The four people around the man raised their shields to protect each other. He continued to recite, and suddenly all five horses were shot down. The five people hid behind the shields. Finally, after reading the "Edict" from the emperor's uncle, they turned around and exited.
Seeing that his subordinates were moved after hearing the false edict, the King of Beiyuan shouted: "Go out and scold your hands!" Thirty of them were: "Swearing hands", with a loud voice and thick throat, and good articulation. The first one "sweared hands" "The scolding started, what? Traitors and traitors, the place where they will die" and so on, followed by the second "scold hand", and later, they were full of all kinds of filthy words. Yang Peng's knowledge of the Khitan language was limited, and these curses He didn't understand most of the words used by the hands. He only saw Yelu Longxu nodding his head repeatedly with approval. Thinking about it, these "scold hands" were really brilliant.
Yang Peng looked towards the enemy formation and saw two people riding a horse, each holding a whip and pointing, under the cover of a yellow-covered banner in the distance. One person was wearing a solid yellow robe, a crown that reached the sky on his head, and a long gray beard under his chin. One person was wearing golden armor, with a thin face and a fierce expression. Yang Peng thought: "Look at this, these two people are the father and son of the Crown Prince Chu."
Suddenly, the ten "scolders" discussed in low voices for a while, and then they all opened their throats and exposed the secret affairs between the emperor's uncle and the King of Chu. The emperor's uncle seemed to have a very upright character and had nothing to scold. The scoldings were mainly directed at the King of Chu, saying that he had raped his father's concubine and was using his father's power to do evil. These words were obviously intended to provoke the relationship between father and son. Ten people shouted in unison, and the words of the curses were all the same. Within a few miles, quite a few of the hundreds of thousands of sergeants heard it clearly.
The king of Chu waved his whip, and the rebels made a loud noise. Most of them screamed and shouted, and the curses of ten people were drowned out.
After fighting for a while, the enemy troops suddenly separated and rolled out dozens of cars to the front of the imperial camp. As soon as the cars stopped, the sergeants accompanying the cars pulled out dozens of women. Some had white hair, some were in their prime, and some were in beautiful clothes. The jewelry was very expensive. As soon as these women stepped out of the car, the curses on both sides stopped immediately.
Yelu Longxu shouted: "Mother, mother! My son caught the traitor and cut his body into thousands of pieces to vent his anger for you old man."
The middle-aged lady is the current Empress Dowager Xiao, the mother of Yelu Longxu, and the others are the Empress Xiao, the concubines and the princesses. The Emperor Taishu and the King of Chu took Ye Qian Longxu and Ye Qian Guanyin to visit. Qian Hanyu discussed how to deal with Xiao Tianzuo's death, and also caused trouble during the hunt. He surrounded the camp of Empress Dowager Xiao and even captured Xiao Tianzuo and the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't think about the old woman, your wife and children, and work hard to defeat the bandits and kill the thieves!" Dozens of soldiers pulled out long knives and placed them on the necks of the concubines. The young concubines immediately cried out in panic.
Yelu Longxu was furious and shouted: "Shoot all the women who are crying to death!" There was only a whistling sound, and more than ten feathered arrows were shot out, and the crying and shouting concubines were killed by the arrows.
Empress Dowager Xiao shouted: "Your Majesty, good shot! Good shot! The inheritance of our ancestors must not be destroyed in the hands of traitors."
When the King of Chu saw that Empress Dowager Xiao and the Empress were so stubborn, this move not only failed to intimidate Longxu, but also shook the morale of the troops on his side. He issued an order: "Take these women into the chariot and get out." The soldiers escorted the Empress Dowager, Empress and others in again.
In the car, after being pushed into the battle, the King of Chu ordered: "Take the enemy's family members into battle!"
Suddenly I heard the whistling bamboo whistle blowing, the sound was desolate, the army horses separated to the side, the sound of iron chains continued, and rows of men, women, old and children were led out from behind the formation. In an instant, the two middlemen cried loudly. It turned out that these
Everyone is the family member of the officers and soldiers of the imperial camp. The officers and soldiers of the imperial camp are the personal soldiers of the Liao Emperor. Yelu Longxu gave special treatment and allowed the family members to live in Beijing. This was to make the soldiers grateful and help them in case of trouble. Secondly, it was also to pay close attention to them.
This made this elite division dare not rebel even a little bit when they went out to fight. However, knowing that this hunting trip, they suddenly changed their minds. There were no less than 200,000 family members of the officers and soldiers in the imperial camp.
Among the twenty or thirty thousand people, many of them were caught at random and by mistake. He couldn't tell them apart at the moment, but he saw children and girls in tow, all in a chaotic mess.
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
