This night in Yunzhou City was destined to be full of blood, and the sleeping people were awakened by the heart-rending sounds of fighting, screams, and wails.
They didn't know what happened. Maybe there was a rebellion in the city. General so-and-so killed the assassin, or the assassin killed general so-and-so. This kind of thing is not uncommon these days.
They don't care. This kind of thing happens so much that they naturally get used to it. Anyway, it's the same for everyone, and it won't be any better. Good people don't come out of this world.
Of course, it won't be too bad. The world is already bad enough. It has touched the bottom line between humans and beasts. It can't get any worse.
However, habits are habits, and you will still be afraid of what you should be afraid of. You may be involved in it for no reason, and end up with your body and head missing, or some cruel people who want to make money and kill people. These are all There is no guarantee, as far as this world is concerned, these are all too common, and it is really impossible not to worry.
The sound of killing, or being killed, lasted for a long time, until the fifth watch was about to end, and the morning and dusk intertwined between heaven and earth, ushering in the first ray of dawn. Those frightening sounds of horse hooves, shouts of death, clashing of swords, and screams , the wailing sound... then gradually disappeared.
When people looked out at the street with dark circles under their eyes, they found Khitan people outside posting notices on the walls, carrying corpses, and cleaning the ground stained red with blood.
It turns out that there was no rebellion last night, it was the Khitans who invaded!
However, these Khitan people were really cruel. Even if they killed people, they even spared their clothes. All the corpses being carried had their clothes stripped off.
The frightened people who came out to look around quickly retracted and closed the doors and windows tighter. These people didn't even spare the clothes of the dead, how could they spare the living?
The strange thing is that those Khitan barbarians followed the rules and just went about their business in a decent manner. They didn't say anything about breaking into people's houses, burning, killing, and looting.
However, this idea arose in the minds of countless people in the city, and was dismissed countless times with self-deprecation.
Khitan barbarians follow the rules? How can it be? After the destruction of Youzhou City, the ferocious Khitan barbarians slaughtered three cities in a row. Now there are still people from those three cities who escaped in Yunzhou City. How can those Khitan barbarians have any rules?
How could a group of hungry beasts know what rules are and what mercy is?
They are not suffering now, maybe it is just not their turn, maybe someone else has suffered.
The people in the city huddled in their homes in fear and did not dare to come out, which saved the busy "Khitan soldiers" on the streets a lot of trouble.
When the sun gradually revealed its figure, on the tower of Yunzhou City, the Jin-character flag was cut off and replaced with a Xiao-character flag. This also means that Yunzhou, one of the sixteen states of Yanyun, has changed hands!
If the morning in Yunzhou City is full of the smell of blood, then the morning in Fengxiang should be full of the rich aroma of soup, not to mention other places, at least this is the case in the Jianlu Villa after the expansion.
Early in the morning, Zhang Yuan, Hanba, a carpenter, and a painter gathered in front of the new stove and cooked a large pot of noodles using the tiger bone broth they had cooked yesterday.
The fragrance was simply frighteningly rich. This expanded Jianlu Courtyard was also considered a different kind of third-entry courtyard. But at this moment, every corner could smell the fragrance that could easily arouse people's appetite.
Sister A and Jiang Tong were attracted by the fragrance early in the morning. They sniffed intoxicatedly at the pot, and then were sent by Zhang Yuan and Hanba to wake up the others for breakfast.
This breakfast was undoubtedly a very comfortable one, and it was not in vain that Jiang Yunqing traveled thousands of miles to bring those tiger bones back from Raojiang. Tiger bones are a good medicine. This is how Jiang Yunqing persuaded himself to bring them back, but there was no point in it. The question is also a good ingredient.
It's a pity that Yuan Tiangang came a little late. If it had been one day earlier, Jiang Yunqing would have brought Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan to Jianlu Villa last night.
Although Zhang Yuan and Han Ba's cooking skills are good, they are still inferior to Lin Xuan's.
After all, Lin Xuan had obtained his true inheritance, and Lin Xuan was rarely gifted in this field. He was already better than his master, and he had the style of everyone.
But, it's not too late today. He still has a lot of stock. It's not difficult to get some fresh ones if he can't. Huanyinfang now has a lot of them.
After breakfast, Jiang Yunqing took Jiang Tong out of the house. This time, the general did not follow him. She followed Jiang Yunqing yesterday morning for a purpose. Now that Lu Linxuan has recovered, Ji Ruxue only needs to rest, so she will follow again. It's not polite.
Jiang Tong, who had been taught some neurotic skills by Chi Meng, was rarely able to play with her sister. However, just now, sister suddenly turned into Ying Gou and coldly shouted to Hanba for another bowl. Didn't bother Jiang Tong.
"Master, what are we going to do?"
Jiang Tong followed Jiang Yunqing, a little confused. The master left the house without even having breakfast yesterday. Although he had breakfast today, he left the house early in the morning.
"Take you to meet your uncles."
Jiang Yunqing replied with a gentle smile on his pale face.
"Uncle Master?"
Jiang Tong pondered for a moment, tilted his head and thought carefully: "Are they Uncle Li and Uncle Lu that Master often talks about?"
"Yeah!" Jiang Yunqing nodded.
Because Jiang Tong was with him, Jiang Yunqing walked very slowly, and the street where they were master and apprentice gradually became lively.
However, when the master and apprentice arrived at Prince Qi's Mansion, it gradually became deserted again.
The entrance to Prince Qi's Mansion is somewhat majestic after all. No matter how busy the people in the city like it, they won't come here.
There were many minor officials walking through Prince Qi's Mansion. On the way to the room where Li Xingyun was, master and apprentice Jiang Yunqing and Jiang Tong also met the three holy ladies Duowentian, Miaochengtian and Xuanjingtian.
Although Jiutian Shengji's martial arts skills are not as good as those of the senior officials of Xuanming Sect and Tongwen Hall, their ability to handle government affairs is much stronger than those of them. They are basically regarded as the women of King Qi by default. They do not regard themselves as such, but they do so by default. In this capacity, he handles some government affairs for the empress.
Over the years, their abilities are indeed excellent, and they can last for a while when Jiang Yunqing and the empress are not in Qi country.
The three of them said hello respectfully to Jiang Yunqing and went their separate ways. Since Qi Kingdom was running stably and there was no trouble, and the male master of Qi Kingdom had no intention of intervening, they could only continue to hold on. On fire.
"Dongdongdong~"
Arriving at the door of Li Xingyun's room, Jiang Yunqing knocked on the door.
"Xingyun, did you do anything bad? I'm in!"
