Before the group of carriages and horses reached the city gate, Xu Bo'an observed them carefully and heard several big men accompanying them muttering curiously.
"Hey, why is there a city here?"
"I've never heard of it. Logically speaking, this is still the boundary of our Shanyang County. How can there be another city?"
"Just, look, there are still people on the city wall? It can't be those rebels..."
"Don't talk nonsense. Building a city here cannot be done in a day or two. How could we not know that such a big city is being built under our noses?"
"Yes, I walked through this line more than a month ago, and there was no movement at all!"
"Just go and ask and you will know. Keep your distance and be careful of arrow attacks from the city!"
"Otherwise... for the sake of safety, let's change the route!"
"Are you kidding? If you don't walk along this river, the dense forest will be even more dangerous. You will die."
"Yes, this dry river has good visibility. If there is any danger, we can find it in time."
"But these city defenders don't seem to be good people. They are not easy to touch whether they are friends or foes." The speaker looked at the little people on the city wall and was very worried.
"Hey, if you're scared, let's go and deal with it first. If it doesn't work, just think of other ways. We have reached this point and there is no way out."
After a while, the group of people came to a stop not far from the city wall.
Yu Daoquan was on duty when he saw those people and shouted: "Who is coming down from the city?"
A tall and burly man walked out of the carriage team: "We are the bodyguards of the Humen Bodyguard Bureau in Shanyang County. We need to escort the bodyguard across Yushan Mountain to Qingchuan Prefecture, passing through Guibao. I hope it will be convenient for you, brother."
Yu Daoquan looked at the people under the city wall in confusion, stared at the little blue flag for a while, and then said: "Humen Escort Agency? It's not far from Shanyang to Qingchuan. With the wide official road, don't you Let’s go, why bother walking the difficult mountain road?”
The big man who called out replied: "You don't know yet, right? The official road has long ceased to be a pure land. Rebels are everywhere and war is raging. Who dares to go to the official road?"
Yu Daoquan asked in surprise: "Rebels? Where did the rebels come from! Aren't the rebels of the White Cotton Sect driven away?"
The big man explained: "The rebels of the White Cotton Sect have been driven away, but now it is the government troops who are causing trouble! The Eight Prefectures under Qingyun Road are in rebellion, and most of the troops under the Eight Banners under their jurisdiction have rebelled against the Qingyun Army. The Qingmu Banner is even more powerful The Ministry has been dismissed, and that group of people claims to be the descendants of Daliang, and they are revolting under the banner of 'anti-jing and restoration of Liang'."
Yu Daoquan's eyes widened and he said sternly: "What? Daliang? You are talking about the Daliang Kingdom when the five heroes came together!"
The big man responded: "That's right, Daliang, one of the Yanliang scenes in Qi Chu! It is said that the White Cotton Sect rebels were in a stalemate with the garrison in the Yushan Mountains, and it was they who secretly allowed the White Cotton Sect rebels to break through the defense line and enter Qingyun Road. Make trouble.
Originally, they were planning to take advantage of the rebellion of the White Cotton Sect rebels to suddenly attack in troubled waters. However, they overestimated the capabilities of the White Cotton Sect rebels. The White Cotton Sect rebels were completely defeated within two days of their success. .
As a result, their plan also failed, all their previous efforts were wasted, and all their efforts were in vain. The Japanese Ministry of War sent people to investigate the reason why the White Cotton Sect rebels broke through the defense line. The remnants of Daliang were worried that there would be no chance of winning if the Dongchuang incident happened, so they started a hasty attack. "
When Yu Daoquan heard this, his expression became extremely complicated, his eyes trembled, and his heart seemed to be full of mixed emotions.
Xu Boan also heard the conversation here, and suddenly felt a little curious about the rebellion of this descendant of Daliang.
Seeing the strange look on Yu Daoquan's face, he asked casually: "Yu Daoquan, is this beam famous?"
Xu Boan was actually asking about fishing law enforcement.
He had asked Chen Shishi about Daliang before.
It's just that when I saw Yu Daoquan's strange expression at this time, I was just gossiping in my heart.
Could this Yu Daoquan be the "remnant of Daliang" mentioned by the escort under the city?
Xu Bo'an remembered clearly that on the gold bricks in the cave he obtained, there were slogans such as "Reverse the Scenery and Restore the Liang Dynasty".
Obviously, those gold bricks were saved by people from the Daliang Kingdom. The gold, silver and jewelry in the cave were most likely stored by people from the Daliang Kingdom, waiting to be used as start-up funds in the event of an uprising. .
I just didn't expect that I would be caught advantageous.
When Yu Daoquan heard Xu Bo'an's words, he hurriedly turned around, knelt down in the direction of the mountain temple, and said: "Grandpa Mountain God is here, and Yu Daoquan is not far away to welcome him. I hope Grandpa Mountain God will punish you."
Xu Bo'an discovered that Yu Daoquan attached great importance to these red tapes, and was quite satisfied with his respect for him. He said softly: "Tell me about this Daliang matter."
Yu Daoquan heard the words and hurriedly spoke.
It has to be said that although the results of the historical narration in Yu Daoquan's mouth and in the mouth of Chen Shishi, the courtesan, are the same, the process is much more exciting.
About two hundred years ago, there were more than a dozen countries, large and small, distributed within the current territory of the Jing Dynasty.
Although these countries operate independently, they are dependent on the five most powerful countries.
The five most powerful countries are Qi, Chu, Yan, Liang, and Jing.
These five countries have a long history. They have been fighting for thousands of years, with each other winning and losing. You come and I go, but no one can do anything to anyone.
Those small countries that survived in the cracks between them were because of the struggles between these five major countries. They changed owners several times and changed dynasties frequently.
Before the Dajing Dynasty destroyed the other four major countries, Daliang was the most powerful country in terms of overall national strength, and Dajing could only be ranked fourth.
Because there are many areas bordering Daliang and Dajingchao, conflicts between Jingliang and Jingchao continue.
However, according to the situation at the time, Dajingchao was not Daliang's opponent at all.
But God blessed Da Jing Dynasty. In that year, Da Jing Dynasty actually gave birth to a genius animal trainer. With the help of that animal trainer, Da Jing Dynasty's cavalry tactics quickly took shape and rose to prominence.
Not only the common horse cavalry, but also various special land combat teams with powerful combat capabilities such as ox cavalry, elephant cavalry, and tiger cavalry.
There are also various raptors such as eagles, eagles and owls assisting in the air, and sea animals such as crocodiles and sharks pounce in the water.
Under such a comprehensive offensive, Daliang, as its neighboring country, was conquered first.
After Daliang was destroyed, the genius animal trainer was named a national master!
Leading the army to go on an expedition, in just a few years, all the countries were wiped out, leaving King Jing alone.
As for the current area of Qingyun Road, most of it belonged to the territory of Daliang. Therefore, it is normal for people here to start an uprising with the slogan "Reverse the scenery and restore Liang".
"In recent years, there have been many signs of uprisings in various places in Dajing, but it is rare for them to spread to one place. This uprising may have been premeditated."
Yu Daoquan added his own predictions and speculations at the end.
Xu Bo'an blinked, and he suddenly realized that when Yu Daoquan talked about these people, he did not use words such as "rebels" and "rebellion".
Instead, it was discussed in more fair terms like "riot".
This Yu Daoquan is probably different from the small group of dog-headed military advisors blocking the road in his imagination.
Seeing that Grandpa Mountain God was silent for a long time, Yu Daoquan said again: "I hope Grandpa Mountain God will make it clear whether these people should be allowed to pass."
Xu Bo'an intended to take the exam at Daoquan School. He did not immediately give instructions. Instead, he kicked the ball back and asked, "What do you think?"
Yu Daoquan held his hands in front of him and said seriously: "In view of the villain, these people must not be allowed to enter the city wall."
"Oh? Why is this?" Xu Bo'an asked.
Yu Daoquan shook his head and explained rationally: "These people are not trustworthy, so we cannot be friends with them! If we let them into the city, I am afraid we will find trouble for ourselves."
"Oh? How can you tell that these people are not trustworthy?" Xu Bo'an asked.
Yu Daoquan said seriously: "These people claim to be bodyguards and escorts, but they have traveled all over the country for so many years. I have never seen the luggage in the fleet of this escort agency being so messy, and even the clothes are in different forms. That carriage The thing pulled on it does not look like a dart, but seems to be stuffed in by a fleeing person in an emergency.
Therefore, the villain thinks that there is only one conclusion, and they are lying, because if it is a big escort, these things should be placed mainly with the escort. It is absolutely impossible to have so much messy luggage. If it is a small escort, these people will be dispatched. It's too much. The fewer people there are and the smaller the target, the safer it is. "
"Oh? In your opinion, who are they?" Xu Bo'an continued to ask Yu Daoquan's opinion.
Yu Daoquan said slowly: "It's more like...a deserter!"
"Deserts?" Xu Bo'an was quite surprised. Although these people looked similar to the Shanyang Orders under Yan Shuyi's command, their temperament was obviously not on the same level, and they did not have the slightest aura of military service.
Yu Daoquan said decisively: "Yes, this uprising is so massive. Taking our Shanyang County as an example, hundreds of people from the Shanyang Order are obviously unable to resist. What's more, I heard that the Shanyang Order had just Having supported the battle against the White Cotton Rebellion, I am afraid it will be even more difficult now.
Judging from the fact that the Shanyang Order can still resist the White Face Sect rebels, it is enough to show that the Shanyang Order did not follow the people of the previous Daliang Dynasty in the uprising, so everyone in the Shanyang Order must protect Shanyang County. When there are insufficient troops, emergency mobilization is the only option. And these so-called escorts are most likely deserters who ran away on the battlefield! "
After hearing Yu Daoquan's analysis, Xu Bo'an understood immediately.
After all, he had seen the real situation when he was manifesting his sage in Shanyang City. In Shanyang City, Chao Chao and Yan Shouyi had already helplessly started mobilizing urgently.
I just didn't expect that those people who besieged the city for several days were actually the officers and soldiers of Qingmu Banner.
If there is chaos, the entire Qingyun Road may be in chaos.
This situation is so serious that Li Yunlong will be in trouble even if he comes!
"Okay, then let's follow your advice and keep these people out." Xu Bo'an said casually, but his eyes were carefully observing the luggage on the carriage of those people.
Xu Bo'an had seen refugees fleeing famine before. A family carrying one or two small packages and baskets was already their entire wealth.
These people's cars are full of luggage and items. I really don't know what they are hiding!
"I obey the instructions of Grandpa Mountain God." Yu Daoquan knelt down and stood up, then walked to the city wall and shouted towards the bottom of the city tower: "My dear men, I'm sorry, this place is blocked, I hope you can find a better way."
Those people under the city wall were obviously not satisfied with Dao Quan's answer. Someone immediately asked: "Hey, who are you? You dare to block the flag of my Humen Escort Bureau. Do you know that in Shanyang County, the Humen Escort Bureau represents What's the meaning?"
Yu Daoquan said calmly: "I've heard that the brother of the county magistrate is the boss of your Humen Escort Agency!"
The big man was obviously quite proud and said angrily: "Humph, knowing this relationship, why don't you let me go quickly?"
Yu Daoquan was amused by the other party's arrogance, and immediately said disdainfully: "Let alone a mere county magistrate, what will happen if your county prince comes?
My city wall is no worse than the city wall in Shanyang County, right? What's more, you also said that there is a big chaos in Qingyundao now. Who knows who you are. If you are all malicious, wouldn't I let a thief into my house? "
Xu Boan was observing what was going on inside the bonsai as if he was watching TV.
Suddenly, there was a sound of the password fingerprint lock being opened, and then Xu Boan heard the sound of the door opening.
That is to say, Xu Boan has excellent hearing. Otherwise, it would be difficult to hear the sounds from downstairs from such a distance.
Xu Bo'an carefully put away the bonsai, stood up and walked out of the bedroom. Standing at the railing on the second floor, he saw Chen Pingping returning.
Chen Pingping wore a knitted sweatshirt and a long skirt. The fragrant style of dress made her look several years younger.
Fortunately, Xu Boan's house was big enough and he was in the bedroom just now. Otherwise, Chen Pingping would have discovered the secret of this bonsai.
Chen Pingping was surprised to see Xu Bo'an at home.
While changing his shoes, he raised his head and asked, "Lao Xu, you are at home. I was thinking of cleaning up while you were not at home."
If there are people at home, cleaning is usually very troublesome, and housewives know this very well.
Xu Bo'an nodded with a smile and said, "I didn't have much to do in the afternoon, so I just lay at home for a while. There is no need to clean this house every day, just look at it and it's about the same."
Chen Pingping said hurriedly: "That's not okay, I have so much money from you, if you don't do it carefully, my conscience will not be able to bear it.
Also, on the way back, I happened to meet a turtle seller. I bought it to make a soup for you to replenish it, or how do you want to eat it? , let me go and prepare first? "
As she spoke, Chen Pingping pointed to a black plastic bag beside her.
Xu Bo'an wasn't picky about food, so he said casually: "Just drink the soup. By the way, your trip to the hospital went well, right?"
While talking, Xu Boan walked down the stairs from the second floor.
Chen Pingping put on her slippers and walked up with a plastic bag. She sighed and said, "I'm okay, it's just Tang Xiaorou. It's so pitiful. I'm even angry for her."
"Oh? What's going on?" When Xu Bo'an heard this, the woman in professional attire and the flaming red lips in the photo suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and he immediately asked subconsciously,
Chen Pingping sighed and said, "I don't know what evil Xiaorou did in her previous life, but she ended up with such a man in this life."
After listening to Chen Pingping's chatter, Xu Bo'an realized that Tang Xiaorou had suffered domestic violence.
It's nothing more than a plot about a man being a loser, being in debt, drinking too much, and beating his wife.
After all, it was a family matter, and Xu Bo'an couldn't do anything else except a few words of condemnation.
It's just a pity that Tang Xiaorou inserted a flower into the cow dung.
Chen Pingping still wanted to continue talking, but Xu Boan's cell phone rang.
"Hello, Mr. Xu, I am the secretary of President Zhao of the Dongjiang Jade Association. The jade amulet you commissioned President Zhao to make has been completed. Please come and pick it up when it is convenient for you."
Xu Boan frowned slightly and said, "Can't we deliver it to your door?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, for such a high-value item, we need to do an on-site appraisal when handing it over, and the entire process is recorded on video. If it needs to be delivered to your door, you may need to prepare a little more, for fear of delaying your time."
Xu Bo'an expressed his understanding and said: "Okay! Then give me an address and I will contact you."
It has been snowing heavily in the north for several days, and the moonlit night is extremely cold. Every time I see a few familiar book friends voting, the author feels warm in his heart~~ This time I can really wish everyone a Happy New Year.
