Chapter 83: Festival of Lights

Shifeng Lantern Festival, the road is uneven.

Lin Qiuqing and Xu Cong rushed into Shifeng City almost without any strong resistance. It's because of scolding, it's not fun, if I knew it earlier, I might as well change jobs with Zou Ning.

As for Qin Yang and Qiao Wenzhi, who had been attacking the main gate, except for the fact that the soldiers at the gate fought desperately and fought anxiously, they waited until the gate was broken and entered the city. The situation was similar to that of Lin Qiuqing and the others. The defenders in the city found Unable to resist, they dropped their weapons and surrendered.

By the time Lian Jingxiao and Zou Ning had settled the Xiao family army who had left the city to fight, the battle was basically over.

Zou Ning looked at the surrendered soldiers all over the city and raised his eyebrows: "What a skill, how many surrendered?"

Qin Yang smiled and shook his head: "It's not our ability, I think they have no intention of fighting."

Lian Jingxiao looked at the armor of these generals, and raised the corners of his mouth: "The Xiao family army is fighting us to the death. These should be the defenders of the cities summoned here by Emperor Zhengde. What is the life of the people in Western Myanmar? It is the one who sees it most clearly, many people are afraid that they were recruited locally, and now, they have no intention of fighting us to the end."

Sure enough, when the soldiers were counting the surrendered soldiers, they heard them say that the rest of them were all defenders, and some soldiers, even locals, came to serve as soldiers for the sake of the military salary. They have everything about San Francisco. I heard that wherever I went, not to mention not hurting a single commoner, I even opened a shop to work for the common people, and even punished the local corrupt officials. The common people were full of praise, and the soldiers were also grateful. He didn't want to go to war with San Francisco, especially when he found out that he couldn't fight at all, and he didn't want to lose his life in vain.

When Lian Jingxiao heard the last sentence, he couldn't help laughing and said, "This is true."

He Bi thought for a while and asked: "With so many generals, how will the crown prince plan to deal with them?"

Lian Jingxiao thought for a while and said: "Among them are generals, I will lock them up first, and I will go to see them in person, and the rest of the ordinary soldiers... If you don't want to fight, let them go home, if you want to follow Mine will be incorporated into each battalion, and they will win a big victory in the future, just like other soldiers, they will be rewarded for their merits."

Here He Bi took the order to leave, and another soldier came to report: "My lord, we found the dead body of Marquis Zhongyong on the tower."

Lian Jingxiao glanced at several people: "Let's go and have a look."

Corpses littered the tower, and the archers who had been crushed to death by catapults were stacked one on top of the other, but at the end of the tower, one could see Zhongyonghou sitting there leaning against the wall behind him, although his hair was already gray, but Wearing the battle armor, he is still majestic, looking forward with both eyes, if it is not for the blood-stained neck and armor, this real General Xiao, seems to be just tired from fighting and resting...

Qin Yang sighed: "The heroes of the past generation finally died in battle."

Lian Jingxiao stared at the other party for a while, and said calmly: "Find a coffin, respectfully bury it, and place the corpses of the three young masters of the Xiao family carefully. Send them back to the Xiao family, and let the Xiao family give them a good burial." She stopped looking at him, turned around and went down the tower.

The collection work in the city was in order, and Lian Jingxiao was relieved that he was here. Then he turned and walked out of the city gate. When he looked up, he saw the figure in white clothes walking towards him, and walked to the two corpses. stopped.

Lian Jingxiao walked towards that person, and when he got closer, he realized that the two on the ground were the Chi family father and son. Lian Jingxiao walked over to hold Chi Canghai's hand, and suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I regret it."

Chi Canghai was taken aback for a moment: "What do you regret?"

Lian Jingxiao looked at Chi Youde on the ground: "I once said to myself, for the sake of sending you to me, when he dies, I will send him a straw mat to wrap his body. Now, I I regret it and don't want to send it."

Chi Canghai was taken aback for another moment, and then couldn't help laughing lowly: "Isn't it your intention that he can send me to you? Robbing a common man, my son."

Lian Jingxiao wrapped him in his arms and smiled faintly: "In this life, this is the thing I did the most right."

Chi Canghai smiled, and leaned into Lian Jingxiao's arms: "Send it, the light of death is extinguished, what do you care about with a pair of skins?"

Lian Jingxiao nodded: "Okay, it is for them to exchange the lives of countless soldiers this time."

Then the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, put all the soldiers who died in battle on the stakes, and cremated them all.

Every time before passing through the city, even Jing Xiao ordered the soldiers to camp outside the city for fear of disturbing the people. This time, for the first time, he ordered the soldiers to enter the city to rest. Good news, all of you are happy to call your son wise.

In the city, there was the garrison built by Xiao Qishan and the others when they entered the city, Lian Jingxiao asked the army to tidy up and live in directly, although it was a simple house, it was much better than the big tent.

Perhaps it was because San Francisco had a high reputation among the people before, or it was because the Western Burmese Army came in mightily, but they did not go to war for a long time. The people have gotten used to it. Regarding affairs, when I went to Shifeng City for a stroll, I found that the lives of the people in the city had not been affected in any way. The lights were still on, the flow of people shuttled back and forth, and the business on the roadside was quite prosperous.

After all, Shifeng is a big city, not comparable to the small town they passed by before. There are many shops around, and there are some stalls on both sides of the street selling some sweets, food and some small items.There are also such stalls in Huainan, and Chi Canghai has lived for two lives, and the number of times he has visited can be counted on one hand. Now that he sees it, he finds it interesting, and picks up a lot of things to fiddle with.

A few people walked for a while, and went to a tea stall to order tea. Chi Canghai found that many stalls were selling Kongming lanterns, and the later it was, the number of people on the street increased instead of decreasing, and he couldn't help it. Asked: "Dare to ask the boss, is Shi Feng's night always this lively?"

The boss looked at Chi Canghai and said with a smile, "Are you from other places? Today is the Lantern Festival in Shifeng City. Every year on this day, the people will write their wishes on the lanterns, and then let the Kongming lanterns fly. The higher it is, the easier it is for wishes to come true."

Lin Danyang looked at several people and said with a smile: "Our luck is really good, but today is just in time."

Qin Yang also smiled and said: "The people in Shifeng are really calm, and the two armies are at war, so they can hold this Lantern Festival."

The boss heard it, and said with a smile: "Guest's words are wrong. It's not that the people are calm, but that the city is much more stable when we hear that San Francisco is about to attack. We heard that they punished corrupt officials and rescued the people. We I really wish they would come in, and the people will be relieved when they hear that they have won the battle, and it is just in time for the Lantern Festival, so it is a good time to celebrate."

Qin Yang looked at Lian Jingxiao with a smile, and saw that the corners of his lips curled up slightly, quietly looking at the noisy street in the distance.

After drinking tea, Lin Danyang suggested to light up the lanterns. Several people were also very interested and wanted to have fun.There are quite a few lamp sellers, with various colors and patterns. Lin Danyang and Chi Canghai looked left and right, but they didn't know which one to buy. The individual froze for a moment, then walked over there.

There was such a big commotion, but no one was around to watch the fun, and the passers-by were all watching from a distance, some people actually quickened their pace and left quickly, and a few people were a little surprised. When they got closer, they found a servant who looked like The man was grabbing the skirt of an old man with an angry look on his face, and the old man kept pleading guilty: "I, I really didn't know that this was the place reserved by the Li family. I really didn't know, you guys let me go!" Bar."

The servant refused to let go: "If you don't know, it's over? You have used my place to sell the lamp for so long, how will you settle the account?"

The old man hurriedly said: "I only sold two, there will be no more."

The servant snorted: "Do you think there are too few for sale? I'll tear up all your lamps and let you sell them!"

The old man was in a hurry, and he knelt on the ground: "Please, please, I have been working hard for many days, and I just made these, and I am waiting to sell them for money to buy medicine. Don't tear them up, don't tear them up."

The people standing behind Lian Jingxiao and the others shook their heads and sighed, lowered their voices and said, "It's the Li family again, it's really lawless, whoever decides it will be his house, wait for San Francisco to come in..."

The other hurriedly covered his mouth: "Shut up, San Francisco won't care about such trivial matters, and before San Francisco comes in, the Li family will skin you first, let's go."

Several people frowned when they heard this, and even Jing Xiao called out: "Ying Jiu."

Ying Jiu nodded, walked over directly, and took the bamboo basket with lamps that the other party wanted to grab, and then slapped the servant. The servant was shocked by the sudden change. The old man has been pulled behind by a man in black.

The servant was furious, although he was only a servant of the Li family, who would dare to provoke anyone from the Li family?When was he humiliated in public?Taking the wooden stick on one side, he rushed towards Ying Jiu. Ying Jiu didn't move. He raised his kick and kicked the servant in the stomach. They were all crushed into a ball.

The servant couldn't get up for a long time, and the other servants pointed at Ying Jiu and asked, "Who are you? Dare to provoke the Li family, have you lived enough?"

Chi Canghai walked over to caress the old man, checked briefly, and found that the other party was not injured, so he was relieved, then took the bamboo basket Ying Jiu was holding and returned it to the other party: "Old man, are you alright?"

But the old man hastily pushed him away: "Go, go, don't meddle in other people's business." Then he said to the servant: "My lord, some of these people don't know Taishan, so don't argue with them, they are all mine." Wrong, I don’t want this lamp, and I will return the money to you.”

Seeing the old man protecting them so much, Chi Canghai's heart warmed up. At this time, another group of people came from a distance and surrounded them: "I heard that someone is making trouble here?"

The servant of the Li family wanted to point at Ying Jiu, but he looked at Ying Jiu's cold eyes and was a little scared. He raised his hand and pointed at Chi Canghai, and said loudly: "It's them, they beat someone and even demolished the Li family's booth, hurry up!" Grab it."

Lin Danyang sighed: Another group of people who are anxious to die.
