Volume Four, The Year of the Curtain, Chapter 140: Looking at Chang'an (1)
Ginkgo leaves fall all over the ground, just like those words.
The two stood on the bridge, silent for a short time.
Ning Que said, "You are the elder sister of the eldest brother, my friend, the Book Saint asked you to leave Moganshan, but because he understood that helping the Tang Dynasty was to help Dahe. No matter what, it would be hard for you."
Mo Shanshan was a little confused and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to have a good night's sleep."
Ning Que said: "I am not that senior brother or second brother. I will die if I don't sleep. I have seen this city these two days and want to vomit. I need to relax."
Mo Shanshan said, "Then go and rest... but please don't feel frustrated and escaped. Think about why you sat by the lake for a long time when the Sea-Watching Monk challenged you that year."
Ning Que smiled when he remembered that past.
Next, he drew a very detailed drawing for Mo Shanshan, explained the Storm Formation, and then left her very irresponsibly and walked towards the Chunfeng Pavilion in Dongcheng.
He didn't really go to bed, nor did he go to the banks of Yanming Lake to stare blankly.
The court had just stabilized, and Li Yu was imprisoned in the princess's mansion. Many ministers were still resistant to Ning Que, and even had a strong disgust, so he was inconvenient to contact the palace too closely.
Now he needs to know the arrangements of the court and communicate with the queen, he goes through Chunfeng Pavilion to visit the house.
In the Chao's house, he received the latest military orders and military information sent back from various prefectures and counties. Looking at the various wars recorded in the military information briefings, the emotions on his face became solemn.
Zhennan Army is still on the road. The war between the Western Army and Yuelun Kingdom in the Pamirs and the West Army in the Pamirs has not yet been reported. The Zhenbei Army, which is carrying the most difficult mission, is struggling to support the attack of the Jintang cavalry, although Zhenbei Army
The number of people has been in contact at the beginning, but it is not that easy to reverse the situation.
The most troublesome thing now is the battle situation in the east and south, especially in the south.
Xiling Temple led hundreds of thousands of troops to the north from Qinghe County, Ning Que sat in Chang'an City. It seemed that he could see the scene of flags waving all over the sky. It was hard for him to imagine what would happen if the other party rushed to Chang'an City.
The senior brothers and sisters in the back mountain should be in Qingxia now. Are they still safe?
Can they hold on? How many days can they last?
At this moment, Chang'an Prefectural Order Shangguan Yangyu and Qi Si came to Chao's house.
Ning Que wants to see them.
"The Chang'an Rebellion can be calmed down so quickly, and the masters are very good at it, so he should remember his first merit."
Ning Que looked at the vulgar face of the prefect and said sincerely.
He walked by the door with a cat in his arms. He heard this. He looked at Shangguan Yangyu's waist that was bent downward and said, "This adult just likes modesty."
Ning Que said with a smile: "What the second pass makes sense."
He waved to the old man and left with the cat's belly.
Shangguan Yangyu said in a charming voice: "Where is the place, it depends on the command of the Empress and Mr. Thirteen."
Ning Que said, "At that time, the Empress and I were still outside the city, so where can we command you?"
Shangguan Yangyu said seriously: "If a person is not here, righteousness will last forever. Xiaguan feels..."
Ning Que waved his hand and said, "Forgive, I'm not a Grand Secretary, I'm not used to listening to such words. There are not many adults in the Tang Dynasty who would speak like you. We should save some time and get to the point."
Shangguan Yangyu cleared his throat and said directly: "He Mingchi should have escaped from Dongyang Gate. The City Gate Office is secretly investigating internally and has arrested more than a dozen suspects. The Tianshu Office and Nanmen Temple have become honest.
Many people who escaped from the Qinghe County Club have been arrested and are now temporarily detained in the club."
Ning Que knew very well that the reason why Tianshu and Nanmen Temple became honest was nothing to do with the exposure of He Mingchi's true identity, but because the parents, families and relatives of those practitioners are now all of them are now Chang'an Government and Yu.
The Dragon Gang joins hands to put a house arrest. In this case, who else dares to make any changes except those who are really cold-blooded?
"The children of Qinghe County cannot escape the charge of treason. Although they have not been tried yet, why should they stay in the club and fall asleep comfortably? All of them are transferred to the government office and prison."
Ning Que said.
Shangguan Yangyu seemed a little embarrassed and said, "The government office can't contain so many people at all."
Ning Que looked at Qi Si and said, "The Fish and Dragon Gang must have many dungeons."
Master Qi shrugged and said, "It's okay to lock up hundreds of people."
Ning Que looked at the expression on Shangguan Yangyu's face and said, "What's the problem?"
"I have no problem, but there are many adults in the court... or there will be problems."
Shangguan Yangyu said: "There are two opinions in the court on how to deal with the surnames of Qinghe County. One opinion is to judge the crimes of the surnames as soon as possible, and give an explanation to the court and the public and the people. Another opinion believes that we should stay in Chang'an.
The children of Zhu surname in the city are alive, so if they want to negotiate with the Xiling Temple in the future, it will be considered a bargaining chip."
Ning Que was silent for a moment and said, "All these people must die."
Shangguan Yangyu said worriedly: "What if the adults in the court oppose it?"
"Even if there are peace talks in the future, there will definitely be no discussions if there are several issues."
Ning Que said: "The issue of Qinghe County is a problem that cannot be discussed. Of course, it is indeed a pity that these people have died now, so let them suffer some life first."
Qi Si said: "I am better at this."
Shangguan Yangyu said: "It's better to be more professional in the government office."
Ning Que said: "You have discussed these small matters by yourself. I asked you to come today because the queen has decided to hand over all the powers of the City Gate and temporary law enforcement to the Lord. The Yulong Gang is temporarily under the command of the Lord. Qi Si Master
You must cooperate with the adults to do this."
Shangguan Yangyu knew very well that as long as he could survive this war, he would definitely be promoted and awarded the title after the war. However, he did not expect that he would suddenly have such great authority, and he couldn't help but feel a little panic when he was excited.
Master Qi also felt a little strange, and this arrangement had a strange smell.
"Chang'an City is very empty. If the Xiling Temple coalition forces... no matter which enemy is on the side, we have no choice, so you must prepare for breaking the city in advance."
Listening to Ning Que's words, Shangguan Yangyu and the Fourth Master Qi were speechless.
Just like all the Tang people, they never thought that Chang'an City would be destroyed.
"Don't spread this news."
Ning Que did not look at Qi Si, but just looked at Shangguan Yangyu's eyes.
There were complex gazes in those vulgar triangular eyes.
Ning Que looked at him and said calmly: "If something goes wrong, there will be no surname Shangguan in the world."
...
...
Speaking of rest, but there are extremely heavy stones in my heart. Where can I rest and where can I sleep? Ning Que walked along the Zhuque Street towards the south gate, feeling the subtle changes in the breath of heaven and earth, and watching the blocked ones along the way
The area, the expression became more and more tired, and the footsteps became heavier.
When he came to the city wall, he looked at the city.
The city walls of Chang'an are as tall as cliffs. Standing on the ground, it is difficult to see the top picture clearly.
His eyesight is sharp. He is far beyond ordinary people, so he can see the woman in a white cotton dress.
Mo Shanshan was looking at Chang'an City and pondering.
Just like him before.
Ning Que silently said thank you.
"If you can recognize a base, this little girl's talent in formation is indeed far more than you. But since the teacher has handed Chang'an City into your hands, I think you still need to figure it out yourself in the end."
A little girl walked to him and looked up at the city wall.
The little girl was twelve or thirteen years old, with her black ponytails swinging around her waist. Her face was childish and charming, but her tone was quiet and gentle. It was not dissonant to say that Mo Shanshan was a little girl.
She is the leader of the contemporary Demon Sect and is qualified to call the book fanatic a little girl.
"Senior sister. I really can't think of any solution."
Ning Que said.
Yu Lian looked at him and said, "So you have already started to make plans for the city to break."
Ning Que said: "If you don't want to win, you will first think about defeat. This is my habit."
Yu Lian said: "If it is a normal season, there is naturally no problem with this kind of thinking, but the current situation is that the Tang Dynasty will definitely lose, so we must only consider victory and not failure."
Ning Que didn't understand.
Yu Lian said: "We can only consider how to win, but not how to face failure."
"But...if failure is destined, how can we win?"
"Then you win before you lose."
Yu Lian said: "The final outcome of a war depends on many aspects. Maybe the second senior brother cannot defend Qingxia. Maybe the Zhenbei Army was defeated by the Golden Tent, and maybe Chang'an City would be broken. But we can only be able to do so before these failures come.
, to achieve victory in one aspect, you can prevent these failures from coming.”
Ning Que understood and said, "The most critical victory."
"Not bad." Yu Lian said: "In your opinion, what will the end of this war be?"
Ning Que knew very well that the Tang Dynasty suffered heavy losses at the beginning of the war, and the gap between the strength of the two sides had been widened. Even if Qingxia could be held and the Smurfing God Array could be repaired, it would still be difficult to change the final outcome.
"I'll probably lose," he said, "But I believe that on the day when the Tang Dynasty fell, there were not many countries in the world that could exist."
"Yes, this is a truth that everyone in the world can understand. Although the royal families and generals of various countries are all stupid, I don't think so that I can't even understand this."
Yu Lian said: "The Tang Dynasty and the Academy have begun to show their strength, and people are dead everywhere. I believe that the Yuelun Kingdom is in Chaoyang City, and the Yan Kingdom has also defeated itself. Who would be willing to burn the jade with me?
Ning Que said: "The Emperor of Southern Jin heard that he was a little crazy because of losing his son."
Yu Lian said: "If the emperor wants to drag the entire Southern Jin Dynasty into the quagmire of madness, the royal family and those generals will come out to stop him, because there are more people who are not crazy after all."
"The only one who wants to destroy Tang at any cost is Xiling Temple." She continued: "Xiang Chumo has been abolished. Tianyu and Judgment will inevitably be seriously injured or even die after the battle of Qingxia. What else is there in the temple?"
I would rather think.
"A few days ago, my senior brother and I were thinking about a question, how to win in a sure defeat, at least temporarily, and seek temporary peace until we figured it out."
Yu Lian looked at him and said, "Kill the snob master and this war will end."
Ning Que didn't know what to say.
This inference is correct. If the master of Shouguanguan was killed by the academy, the Xiling Temple would consume a lot and its influence on the secular countries would become weak. Then which country would be willing to destroy it with the Tang Dynasty?
More importantly, if the Guanzhu dies, the Taoist sect will no longer have any binding force on Jiange and Liu Bai.
However, the problem is... the master of the spectator was the highest and most unfathomable man in the world after the Master ascended to heaven. How different is the difficulty of killing him? The Tang Dynasty won this tragic war.
?
Ning Que looked at her and said, "Senior sister stayed in Chang'an and did not go to Qingxia because of this?"
Yu Lian said: "I don't have the confidence to defeat him, because the viewer is stronger than you and most people in the world imagine, and even more powerful than they imagine."
Ning Que knew that the eldest senior brother was competing with the master of the spectator at this time in the realm of no distance. In his impression, even if the master of the spectator is strong, it is difficult to deserve the description of the senior sister, so he couldn't help but feel confused.
Yu Lian said, "When the viewer takes action, you will know."
Ning Que said: "What can I do?"
Yu Lian said, "Repair this city."
Ning Que finally fully understood the meaning of the eldest brother and the third sister.
If Chang'an City is broken, it means failure.
Before Chang'an City was broken, the academy could kill Zhishouguanguanguan, which was to walk ahead with victory.
When the elder brother brought the master to Chang'an City, he needed to at least repair part of the city.
——The part of the murder.
If he cannot do this, the city will never need to be repaired again.
This is the last night before dawn, and it may be the last step in front of the abyss.
Ning Que's heart was getting more and more stressed, so heavy that his breathing began to become difficult.
...
...
At night.
Mo Shanshan stood by the city wall, his cheeks were slightly red by the cold autumn wind.
She hugged her arms and looked at the lights of the thousands of houses in front of her, and suddenly she realized something.
But the inspiration suddenly appeared and disappeared, and I don’t know where it went.
She frowned slightly and continued to look at the city.
...
...
Ning Que was also looking at the city.
He sat on Yanming Mountain and looked across the lake.
The picture opposite the lake is a fragment of Chang'an City.
His and Sangsang's house were also there, uninhabited for a long time, dark and extremely cold.
He watched it for a long time and remembered a lot of past events.
When he received a challenge from the monk Guanhai, he pondered for a long time on this lakeside and then gained a lot.
Of course, more past events are still related to Sangsang.
But without any insight.
He was very tired.
In the cold night, I fell asleep.
When I woke up, there were still no lights on the other side of the lake.
Because it's dawn.
The sound of drinking and selling came from the morning mist.
After the morning mist clears, the streets and alleys of the houses are occupied by steam from the bun shop.
Popularity gradually grows.
It turns out that the other side is not so desolate.
Ning Que looked at that place and vaguely captured something.
