Northern Dynasties

Chapter 416
The city of Lingzhou was in chaos, and there were frightened and fleeing citizens everywhere, as if the end was coming.

The army soldiers who entered the city also kept rushing between the streets and alleys, in order to make the city residents more scattered and chaotic, so that they could not gather together to resist, making this chaotic situation hard to stop.

With the expansion and intensification of the chaos, even the defenders in the state capital couldn't protect them. They escorted the nobles and family members of the mansion to evacuate and break through, and quickly went to the city gate, causing the city's defense system to completely collapse.

However, in the midst of this chaos, a high-walled mansion half a street away from the state capital remained unmoved by the chaos outside. The fleeing people are like a hard rock standing upright in the turbulent current.

At the beginning, under the cover of all kinds of chaotic scenes, the existence of this mansion was not noticed, but as the rioters scattered from various city gates, this mansion that has not been washed away by the chaos gradually gradually became more and more popular. highlighted.

"Who lives in the house? Open the door quickly..."

A small group of men and horses found this house while chasing the rioters. Even though they charged in with knives, just outside the house gate, a powerful arrow was shot from the inside. Unprepared, two soldiers fell down and died here.

The other soldiers retreated in fright, but before they could go far and call for their companions, the closed door of the house opened, and dozens of well-armed and strong soldiers rushed out from inside, and charged at these soldiers like wolves and tigers with knives. The culling came.

The battle here soon attracted more soldiers to rush in. The fierce soldiers who rushed out of the house saw that the enemy was outnumbered and fought and retreated. After killing several people one after another, they retreated to the house.

These soldiers would not give up seeing this scene, they rushed all the way into the city, it can be said that they are invincible, but they don't want to be defeated in front of this house, and they are hacked and killed by these warriors. Blood compensation is really hard to dispel the hatred in my heart!
So the group of soldiers rushed straight to the gate of the house, and the guards in the house were not willing to stand still, and shouted to their companions to fight back. Hundreds of soldiers fought back bravely, and in a short while they killed the soldiers who had entered the house. They were killed and retreated, and the gate of the mansion was firmly guarded.

The opponent's brave counterattack made these soldiers feel amazed, but they couldn't help but look forward to it. Both the armed level and the fighting power displayed by these servants and guards far exceeded the level of the defending army. Even when the building was empty, they still guarded the house firmly without fear of death. Even the dullest people could think that there must be unusual personnel in the house.

So these soldiers stopped trying to break into the mansion, and while they lined up in front of the mansion gate, they called for more comrades to come here and surrounded the mansion.

Soon, nearly half of the soldiers in the city gathered outside the gate of this mansion. Gao Le, who had led the team to sweep elsewhere, saw so many people gathered here, so he couldn't help being curious, and he pushed everyone away and walked in. And asked curiously: "What happened? Why are they all gathered here?"

When he saw the guards stationed in front of the house, he raised his brows, took the spear from his subordinates and said loudly: "The big city has been conquered, let alone a private house! Boys rush in with me!"

While speaking, he stabbed forward with the long lance in his hand, and his vigorous body followed the trend like a swimming dragon, and soon he was fighting with the guards in front of the gate.

With Gao Le leading the charge, the other soldiers followed, and this time they finally charged into the courtyard again and managed to gain a foothold.

Those family guards who were killed were retreating steadily, but they still refused to give up their fighting spirit. The flesh and blood corpses were scattered from the gate of the house all the way until they passed the cross gate of the front hall. He disarmed and surrendered, but when he was interrogated about who was left in the house, he still shook his head and didn't say anything.

After seeing this, everyone couldn't help but become more curious. Gao Le, who was in the lead, had already strode into the inner garden and wandered around, grabbing a few servants and servants who were running around in panic and questioning them.

Soon Gao Le withdrew from the inner house, and in the face of the curious inquiries of the soldiers, he just shook his head and said nothing. He solemnly ordered a group of officers to stay here and not allow any idlers to enter or leave, and repeatedly told them not to enter without permission. Entered to disturb the personnel in the inner house, and then left here with great strides, got on the horse when he went outside the house, and went straight to search for Li Tai.

At this time, Li Tai had already entered the state capital under the guard of his own soldiers, and looked through the books and documents seized by the state capital. When he saw the accumulation and income and expenditure dynamics of the people in Lingzhou, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Ni Liufeng and the others would rather give up their hometown of Lingzhou and seek refuge in the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Even this Lingzhou city, which is just overseas but not solid, has a yearly surplus of income and expenditure comparable to that of a large county in Kansai, which is more difficult than staying in Kansai and suffering from crowding everywhere Much more moisturised.

He was here to go to check the warehouses in the city in person, but Gao Le strode over outside the hall and whispered something in Li Tai's ear.

Li Tai's eyes widened immediately after hearing this, and he looked at Gao Le in surprise and said, "Is it true? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"That's what I heard from those slaves, how can I recognize..."

Gao Le shook his head after hearing the words, and immediately said: "I have ordered that the place be firmly sealed off, and I will only wait for Kaifu to inspect it."

Li Tai didn't bother to check the warehouse anymore, he just handed over the accounting and everything to Zhu Meng, and he walked out of the state capital in three steps and two steps, and went straight to the area that had just been captured under the leadership of Gao Le. Go to the big house.

After entering the house, Li Tai ordered his subordinates to bring the captured guards and servants into the front hall, holding a knife in one hand and asked in a low voice: "The house in this house is indeed the former Princess Changguang? You and other thieves Be careful when answering, if you dare to say a word of falsehood, you will die without a whole body!"

"Slave, slave, etc. don't dare to speak nonsense, this is, indeed, Mrs. Xiao Erzhu's house, and Mrs. is still in the inner hall..."

Several guards were still talking hard, but the frightened servants did not dare to hide it, and hurriedly kowtowed and replied.

Li Tai was overjoyed when he heard this, but he still said in a deep voice: "In this case, why don't Madam live in Jinyang's Inner Mansion instead of living in Lingzhou City?"

"Yes, it's because, because my wife was not cautious in her previous years, she was expelled from Lingzhou because she had trouble with Gao Wangdi's old Nanzhao..."

Several servants answered carefully in a hurry, not daring to hesitate.

Hearing this, Li Tai can basically confirm that the residence in this courtyard is the former Queen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the daughter of Er Zhuzhao, who was later accepted by Gao Huan as a concubine. Erzhu's mess with his uncle was all fabricated.

Li Tai was in a really happy mood at the moment, he really didn't expect that after receiving unexpected surprises one after another during this trip to Jinyang, he would actually touch a big fish here in Lingzhou City at the end of the trip!
Although Xiao Erzhu has nothing to do with military affairs, his status is here, so he can't take it lightly no matter what. Just thinking about it makes people feel an inexplicable almost forbidden pleasure.

After thinking about it, he felt that he still had to meet this little sister-in-law in person. I, Li Boshan, have not eaten dumplings for many years since I came to this world!

He stood up and ordered a few trembling servants to lead the way in front, while he followed behind under the support of his own soldiers, and when he reached the back hall, he let the servants go in first to make an announcement, while he stood outside the hall He shouted loudly: "The last general, Li Boshan, was ordered by Yuwen Daxingtai to cross the river and enter the state to conquer the dissidents. He passed by the noble mansion without any intention of offending. I beg the princess to give me a table."

His so-called concubine is naturally Xiao Erzhu's ex-husband, the puppet emperor Changguang Wang who was supported by Erzhu and then abandoned.If it's just Gao Huan's relationship, even though they are good brothers who have never met before, they can only deal with this little sister-in-law, and it's not polite.

While waiting for a response, Li Tai also took a look at the layout of the inner hall of the mansion, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion that although the little Zhu family was disgusted for wearing a green hat for the big brother, he still received preferential treatment in daily life .

Among other things, the men of the Gao family have full skills in making broken shoes, they are not taboo about meat and vegetables, and they are very tolerant.I have figured out how to play against morality, the turtle and the cow are integrated, both offensive and defensive.

After a while, there was a response from the hall, and two maids walked out, respectfully inviting Li Tai to see him.

Li Taikuo stepped into the hall and raised his eyes to see a screen between him and the main seat. He didn't care about it, but bowed again: "There is a reminder in the military period, and the last general will leave soon. Teacher. The princess is trapped in captivity, I am afraid that it is not what she wants, if she is willing to return to the country and regain her innocence, please pack up as soon as possible, and the general will protect you thoroughly and make the princess return to the country safely."

The implication is that if you don't follow me and still ruin the face and reputation of our great Wei clan here, then I will be hehehe!
After he said this, there was no response for a long time, and he couldn't help but look up at the place where the screen was located. He faintly felt that another pair of eyes behind the screen were looking at him, so he quickly lowered his head again.

"This General Li is polite, why are you so rude? Take down the screen so that I can see the general without hindrance."

A voice that was slightly hoarse and dry, but also somewhat seductive, sounded, and immediately a servant woman rushed forward and removed the screen.

Li Tai raised his eyes subconsciously, and saw a young woman in a plain dress sitting in the banquet.

Xiaoerzhu looks like a person from the previous era, but she is actually only in her 20s. Her complexion is as fair as paper, and her facial features are three-dimensional and beautiful. The perennial confinement life makes her look a little haggard and thin. A feeling of frailty and pity for people can very arouse a man's desire to possess and protect.

Of course Li Tai is also a man, but even though he teased the big brother a lot on a daily basis, he still respected him in his heart, and he didn't have any messy thoughts because of it, but he felt that it would make the two brothers of the Gao family step on the road. Mrs. Zhu didn't just rely on the unethical love between the long-term worker and the young lady.

Mrs. Zhu looked at Li Tai undisguisedly for a few times, and then pursed her lips and said softly: "The general is so polite, and he is so handsome, handsome, and picturesque. He must not be the son of a townsman, right? Among them, the heroic man who can help the world like a general is the pillar of the family and the country. If the concubine lives in the world, the green vines will fall into the world, and the duckweed will have no roots. ..."
