Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 184 Drums
On the bullock cart, Tang Jun's "Scorpion" was firing short targets at the crowd according to his own rhythm, making dull creaking sounds, Baekje people fell down one after another, swords, spears, arrows, and torches flew horizontally, and blood flowed more and more. There are many, converging into small rivers, seeping into the soil and rock crevices.

About half an hour later, the city gate regained its calm.Shen Faseng forcefully tore off half of the breastplate, so that he could breathe more easily. The city gate was already under his control. He nodded in satisfaction. The successors who joined the army should arrive soon. Gong must be himself, when he was thinking how much He Bayong and Cui Hongdu would be jealous of him, he suddenly heard a heavy drum beating from the city gate tower!

"Which bastard is beating the drums indiscriminately? His skin is itchy and he wants to eat army sticks?" Shen Faseng scolded, before he could ask someone to go up and have a look, the second drum sounded stubbornly, followed by the third drum beat, as if it was a challenge The authority of Shen Faseng.

"Bastard, this is not something that can be settled with a few blows of the army stick!" Shen Faseng pulled out his waist knife furiously, and rushed up the tower along the horse path. Seeing the situation, Chang Zhi hurriedly followed, but Shen Faseng was in a hurry as soon as he boarded the tower. It froze, and I saw a man struggling to stand up, with an arrow stuck in his shoulder and thigh, and he was beating the big drum with a drumstick with difficulty. Blood flowed down his elbow, staining the drumstick red, and the drum surface was stained. Little by little, it's as bright as a peach blossom.

"Who is this person?" Shen Faseng asked, his voice was low and devoid of the violence just now.

"His name is Yu Zijin! He is the guard of Xiongjin City!" Hei Chi Chang Zhi replied with a pitiful expression on his face.

"He is Yu Zijin!" Shen Faseng sighed: "Good boy, why didn't you be born as a native of Tang Dynasty?"

"Good men can be found everywhere, how can they be divided into Tang and Baiji?"

Shen Faseng turned his head and glared at Hei Chi Chang Yi angrily, then nodded after a long time: "You're right, but I'm not seeing enough!"

At this time, Yu Zijin's drumming became slower and slower, and finally stopped, and he fell to the ground, still holding the drumstick tightly.Shen Faseng sighed: "Come here, restrain him and bury him well!" He paused a little at this point: "And this drumstick, let's bury him with him too!"

Sibi City, Dudu Mansion.

"So, Wang Canjun has captured Xiongjin City?" Liu Renyuan asked as calmly as possible, putting down the letter paper.

"That's right!" Shen Faseng replied with his head bowed. According to the ancient Chinese practice, after the front-line generals win a decisive victory, they will let the meritorious soldiers go on the whip and hold up the Lubu (Lubu, another name for Jieshu. All armies destroy thieves, and build them with silk scripts) On the various poles, the Ministry of War calls it "Lubu"), delivering good news along the way, which is also the best reward for soldiers, because the coach often rewards the messenger face to face.

"Is this really true?" Du Shuang snatched the letterheads on the case and looked carefully. He trembled after reading a few lines: "Ambush to defeat the Japanese, pretending to be a Japanese grain transport team to attack Xiongjin City? Is this a matter?" How come I don't know anything?"

"In military matters, the opportunity to change comes first, so naturally we can't report everything!" Liu Rengui laughed and said, "Wang Canjun has made great achievements this time. After taking down Xiongjin City, he just played a game of chess and immediately came back to life!"

"Liu Cishi's analogy is very clever, and Sanlang's move is really good!" Liu Renyuan clapped his palms and said with a smile, it turned out that the "make eye" in Liu Rengui's mouth is a term in Go, that is, to make an eye.In the past, the Tang Army had only one city, Sibi, in Baekje, and there was no room for maneuver. Once surrounded by the enemy, they could only hold on to the isolated city and wait to die. After the Woongjin Fortress, the distance between the two cities is only one day. Not only can they support each other, Moreover, the hinterland that can be cultivated and cultivated has greatly increased, and the source of Tang army's army food has greatly increased, and it has the ability to self-sustain.This is quite similar to the rule in Go that the single eye is not alive and the second eye is immortal.

"Since Xiongjin has been won, we should first consider the next move!" Liu Renyuan smiled.

"Captain!" Liu Rengui said with a smile: "From what the following officials see, the most important thing right now is to reward the meritorious soldiers. As for the next step, we should wait for Wang Canjun to come back and then discuss it!"

"Not bad!" Liu Renyuan patted his thigh lightly: "If you have made such a great contribution, if you don't reward them heavily, how can you motivate the soldiers? You are Shen Faseng, right? Sanlang said in the victory report that you were the first contribution in this battle. Fewer victories are more, the first to conquer the city, as the top, will be rewarded with five ranks of merit. As for the king joining the army——" Liu Renyuan paused for a moment: "Wait for him to return to the city and then reward him for his merits!"

Zhouliu city, palaces, towers.

Ah Cheng quickly walked across the veranda and climbed the stone ladder, her steps were light and soft, without making a single sound, like a ghost.Suddenly she heard someone's voice in front of her, so she hurriedly slowed down, breathed evenly, and pretended to be nonchalant.She saw a group of people coming down from the corner of the stairs, and the leader was Fuyu Zhongsheng. Ah Cheng hurriedly knelt down, bowed his head and held his breath. She saw the footsteps walking in front of her, and stopped. down.

"You are Her Majesty's personal maid?" Fuyu Zhongsheng asked in a questioning tone, obviously he was not sure about Ah Cheng's identity.

"That's right, this servant is Her Majesty's maid!" Ah Cheng said in a low voice.

"You look up and let me see!"

"Yes!" Ah Cheng raised his head, met Fuyu Zhongsheng's sharp gaze, and then turned his head away to avoid being considered rude!
"Are you going to Her Majesty the Queen?" Fuyu Zhongsheng asked.

"Exactly?"

"What's in your arms?" Fuyu Zhongsheng glanced at Ah Cheng's protruding chest, obviously there was something inside.

"They are some wild fruits!" Ah Cheng took out a cloth bag from his bosom, and opened it to look at more than a dozen orange-yellow wild fruits: "After the queen gave birth, she didn't have much appetite for food. This wild fruit was what the queen liked to eat when she was young." , sour, most appetizing. So the servants picked some and presented them to the queen, hoping that she would have more bites for dinner."

Fuyu Zhongsheng looked at the wild fruit in Ah Cheng's hand, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he was playing with his playmates in the mountains when he was a child. He couldn't help but feel warm, and nodded: "Then hurry up and send it! Yes Now, next time, if Her Majesty the Queen wants something, just go and tell the guards, you don’t need to go by yourself!”

"This—" Ah Cheng's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "President Guo, the queen doesn't want to eat what other people picked!"

"Don't want to eat what other people picked?" Fuyu Zhongsheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately understood that in the eyes of Gui Shiyun, the entire city of Zhouliu, except for the maid Ah Cheng, was an accomplice to the murder of his brother. If he knew this wild fruit It has something to do with myself, if I am afraid to throw it out immediately, how can I eat it?
