Chapter 165: Observing the Feelings of the People 1
"Huh, you were the one who forced me to do that. I still said what I just said. If you want this girl to survive, you must immediately order your men to open the city gate and let us out. Otherwise -" Jin Dingguo said with a stern face.
"Otherwise you have to kill her, right?" Shao Yan took his words directly and shook his head with a sigh: "Oh, there are too many bloody plots like this in TV dramas, you are still playing this trick with me, please
Don’t look for a girl next time. If this gets out, I’ll be ashamed of you.”
"What? Mr. Shao feels distressed. There is no need for you to cry like a cat or a mouse and pretend to be merciful. There is no need to punish people for their own sake. As long as you open the city gate, I promise not to hurt her." A hint of slyness flashed across Jin Dingguo's face.
Although he didn't quite understand what Shao Yan said, he believed that he had a hostage in hand, and the other party didn't dare to act rashly for a while. At the same time, he also bought time for reinforcements to arrive.
Day, don't think that using a woman as a shield means I won't dare to touch you. How could Shao Yan not know his little thoughts? "Brother Jin doesn't know anything. Everyone around me is a sharpshooter. We finally know each other."
"In this case, I advise you to let the girl go, or I'll blow your head off with an arrow." As he spoke, he turned his attention to the woman, and saw that the woman's mouth was gagged, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
He came out, but his eyes were full of helplessness
"Of course I know this," Jin Dingguo said proudly, "It's just that I know Mr. Shao's character very well. Mr. Shao has always been sympathetic to women, so of course he will not disregard this girl's life."
"Then you are wrong." After saying that, Shao Yan turned around and said harshly to Cheng Yong: "Shoot his head off right away."
Cheng Yong was confused for a long time and said in confusion: "Your Majesty, do you really want to cum?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Just do it if the emperor asks you to," Zhao Zijian on the side scolded Shao Yan before he could.
Cheng Yong felt unhappy after being scolded like this, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and took the bow and arrow from the soldier's hand. He yanked the bow string and pointed it at Jin Dingguo. Jin Dingguo was so frightened that he took a few steps back. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He originally wanted to find a hostage.
As a cover, I didn't expect that the other party didn't buy it at all, so I simply pulled out the cloth that was stuffed in the woman's mouth, smiled bitterly at her and said: "Madam, although you and I were born in different years, I am afraid that we will go to hell together today."
The woman raised her eyebrows and glared at him with disdain, as if to say, don't be so sentimental, who is your wife? Then she turned to look at Shao Yan and asked impatiently: "Your Majesty, is Fugui okay?
?" Seeing the surprise on Shao Yan's face, she quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the daughter of the common people Zhang Yunniang is Zhang Fugui's sister." When she spoke, a look of expectation flashed across her face.
"Zhang Yunniang? Are you Zhang Yunniang?" Shao Yan then remembered that he saw the injured soldier Zhang Fugui in the camp last night. He only remembered that he had two wishes before his death. One was to save his sister for him, and the other was to
I hope I can see the sky lantern before I die
Seeing his strong reaction, Zhang Yuniang said hurriedly: "Has your Majesty ever seen wealth?"
"I've seen it - I've seen it." Shao Yan's face sank, and Zhang Fugui's innocent smile could not help but appear in his mind. He even kept waving to him and repeatedly said the same sentence, "Your Majesty, please save me."
Save my sister. Seeing Shao Yan's expression was abnormal, Zhang Yuniang suddenly had a very bad premonition, a few tears flashed in her eyes, and asked Noonuo: "Your Majesty, has something happened to Fugui?" Before Shao Yan could answer, she
Frowning, he answered to himself: "It must be, otherwise he would have come to find me a long time ago. He only has me as a relative in this world, rich, rich, rich -" After shouting twice, he broke down in tears.
Seeing her crying so sadly, Shao Yan felt a strong sense of guilt arise in his heart. If it hadn't been for the war, Zhang Fugui would not have died, and the two siblings would not be separated from each other. In this era of war and chaos,
, situations like this are not uncommon. Alas, when will this day end?
Jin Dingguo had obviously guessed some details through the conversation between the two of them, so he said coldly to Shao Yan: "Your Majesty, you are serious, I only have one younger brother, so please be merciful and let them live together
It would be nice to meet him before he dies, or let him come over to pay his last respects to me, my brother-in-law."
Cheng Yong couldn't help but let out a loud sigh and cursed: "You fucking fart there, Zhang Fugui is a hero, and you deserve to be called his brother-in-law. Please take a picture of yourself when you have time to pee."
"You——, you dare to humiliate me?" Jin Dingguo was so angry that he stamped his feet.
Chang Yixiao, who was standing next to him, came out indignantly and said: "What's wrong with humiliating you? You are surrounded by us now, and we will kill you at any time. What kind of marshal are you? You're just as good as a dog marshal."
"You -" Jin Dingguo's face turned red, and occasionally he could hear the sound of gnashing of teeth. Seeing his embarrassed expression, Shao Yan wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh out loud. He thought to himself, although Chang Yixiao is just a child,
He really sounded like an old man when he said it, "Little brat, I don't care about you." Jin Dingguo looked at Shao Yan angrily and said: "Mr. Shao, I know I can't get out of here today. I want to kill you."
I'll leave it to you, anyway, there are beauties accompanying me on the road to hell, I believe I won't feel lonely." As he spoke, he pressed the knife in his hand tightly against Zhang Yunniang's neck. After Zhang Yunniang learned the news that her brother was no longer alive, she was already
She became disheartened. Facing the cold blade, instead of showing any trace of fear on her face, she deliberately stretched her neck forward in order to die quickly.
"Wait a minute!" Shao Yan was worried that Jin Dingguo would do something crazy if he was forced into a hurry, so he hurriedly ordered Cheng Yong and others to retreat, and asked Zhao Zijian to open the city gate. None of the soldiers understood the emperor's approach, which was an imperial edict.
, they were not able to disobey, so they had no choice but to follow the rules and give way.
Jin Dingguo was overjoyed, and while using Zhang Yunniang as a cover, he retreated from the west city gate with the remaining soldiers. When they were about to walk out of the city gate, Shaoyan immediately sent out thousands of archers to block the door. Once Liang Bing took half a step forward,
, they will fire a volley of arrows
Seeing this scene, Jin Dingguo angrily turned back to look at Shao Yan who was snickering and said: "Excellent emperor, as the king of a country, you actually don't keep your words."
"Hey, when did I stop keeping my word?" Shao Yan said with a smile: "I only promised to let you live, but I didn't promise to let your men go. Besides, as soon as you take the lead, you might come back with a kill.
, do you think I’m stupid? Besides, why would you do such a loss-making business?”
"You -" Jin Dingguo snorted in anger, "Okay, you're too cruel, we'll see." After saying that, he pushed Zhang Yunniang to the ground, and then swaggered out of the city gate alone. Cheng Yong saw him like this
He was so rampant that he wanted to shoot him to death with his bow and arrow, but was stopped by Shao Yan. Although he also wanted to severely punish the devil Jin Dingguo, as the supreme commander of the three armed forces, he must at least keep his word, otherwise
It is difficult to convince tens of thousands of Nanliang soldiers to surrender.
This battle lasted for a whole day, with a total of 8,000 enemies annihilated and more than 20,000 prisoners captured. This was the most beautiful victory the Donglin Kingdom had so far. Shao Yan asked Cheng Yong to organize these surrendered troops and follow the old rules.
, free to come and go, those who are willing to stay are gathered directly into the team, and those who are not willing to stay are allowed to leave. According to the final statistics, only a few hundred people left out of more than 20,000 people, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled. The others
All of them voluntarily joined the Donglin team.
After a busy night, Shao Yan didn't even close his eyes all night. Seeing that it was almost noon, he felt extremely tired. So after explaining some things, he quietly walked to his residence accompanied by Chang Yixiao.
After Changqing City was captured, the emperor's palace was located next to the north city gate where Jin Dingguo originally lived. It was a luxurious and spacious small attic. Although it was not as majestic as the imperial palace, it was popular among the people.
It is also second to none, with complete furnishings and a grand layout. The most important thing is that the air is very good. Ancient urban areas are not like modern urban areas, where the air is made a mess by humans. At that time, the farther you go to the city, the fresher the air becomes.
Shao Yan stood on the top of the attic and could see several bustling streets below. People were walking happily through every street and alley. There were no cars or horns on the road. Everything was so peaceful. The vendors shouted at the top of their lungs.
There were several children playing happily on the side of the road. In addition, there were also people selling candied haws on the road, some selling candy men, and some carrying burdens selling small toys...
A group of people gathered around in the distance. Sometimes they laughed and sometimes clapped. It turned out that someone was juggling there. There were two fortune-telling stalls near the end of the street. One signboard said "demigod" and the other signboard said "
"Can tell the past and the future", look at the two fortune tellers, one has a white beard that reaches over his chest, and the other has a wrinkled face. They both look quite old. They say that fellow travelers are like enemies. Just look at their hostile eyes.
, I knew their relationship was very bad.
Shao Yan suddenly had an idea and seemed to have forgotten his sleepiness. He thought to himself, ancient people were popular in fortune-telling, why don't I try it? See if it is so accurate? If possible, ask them when can I return to the future?
The world? He smiled casually and said, "Let's go and have a look."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Chang Yi said with a smile.
Shao Yan paused for a moment and said, "I'm going to pay a private visit in private for a while. Please don't call me wrong again."
"Then what should my subordinates call you?"
"Just call Mr. Shao"
Chang Yixiao patted his chest and said loudly: "Yes, Mr. Shao"
"You're going to die, it's so loud." Shao Yan broke into a cold sweat and quickly looked into the back room for fear of alarming Yun Yun. The reason why he became so cautious was because in the past, no matter what happened, he would go and talk to this girl.
Let’s discuss it. However, he kept the secret of such a big thing as the sneak attack on Changqing City last night from this girl. He knew very well that if this girl knew at that time, she would definitely not let herself take such a big risk, so until this morning
, he didn’t even dare to face this girl
Just as the two of them sneaked down the stairs, they didn't know that Yunyun was already waiting for them at the stairs with a crutch. Seeing their sneaky appearance, Yunyun asked strangely: "Your Majesty, are you going up?
Where are you going?"
Chang Yixiao suddenly blushed and was speechless for a while. Shao Yan pretended to be surprised and said: "Yunyun, why are you here? I thought you were resting in bed, so I didn't want to disturb you. Look at how nice the air is outside.
I want to go out and breathe some fresh air.”
Yunyun knew that he was making excuses, so he did not argue with him and said: "Your Majesty, you were up all night last night. You should have a good rest. There are still many things waiting for you to do in Changqing City, not to mention that Liang Jun is still outside the city.
While we are staring at this place eagerly, we must not be careless at this time."
Yes, after all, he just didn’t want me to go out. Shao Yan smiled cheekily and said: "So, I have left the matters in the city to Cheng Yong and Zhao Zijian. In this way, I will go out first to observe the people's sentiments. In this way, I will
Only by adapting to local conditions, smile, do you think I am right?"
Chang Yixiao was his best friend, so naturally he followed his lead and hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty is right, Concubine Yun. Your Majesty was just about to ask me to report to you. Isn't this——"
Yunyun looked at him angrily and said seriously: "It's not good to learn to lie at a young age. Honestly, did you encourage the emperor to go out?"
