[Soldiers Assault Gao Yuan] Flowers and beautiful family members

"Master Hou, is this going to attack with fire?" someone asked behind him.

Gao Cheng turned his head and saw that more than a month ago came to pay tribute to him, and the scholar who was detained by him followed him at some point, so he couldn't help frowning: "Who told you to come up? Swords and arrows don't have eyes, hurry back to the city go in!"

Before the scholar could speak, Gan Xiaoning turned his head and said, "Master Hou, they have already set up a long ladder!"

"Fall!" Gao Cheng waved his hand, and dozens of barrels of wine poured down in a splash, and at the same time, there were countless small torches. For a while, the city was full of mourners, and the fire burned the long ladder, ignited the clothes of He Shenbing, and burned the smelly smoke. Going straight up with the wind, Gan Xiaoning covered his nose and turned his head to smile at Gao Cheng: "Our wine is really good! It's strong enough!"

The battle has come to an end, He Sheath's army began to retreat, Gaocheng was in a better mood, fortunately, it was in Yunzhou, Xixingguan went south to produce Fenjiu, which has a long mouth, sweet aftertaste, cold and pure, and high alcohol content, it is used in this kind of wine. It is also a last resort in the siege battle, but it is very immediate.

Seeing the enemy retreat, the few remaining soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief, Gan Xiaoning ran over and said with a smile, "Master Hou, this wine is really fragrant, why don't you give me a pot to taste?"

Gao Cheng was also happy: "Reward your team with a bucket, but you can't drink too much and cause trouble, otherwise you will be dealt with by military law!"

Gan Xiaoning ran away happily, Ma Xiaoshuai watched eagerly, Gao Cheng smiled, and kicked him: "Go and have fun with Xiaoning!"

Ma Xiaoshuai cheered and chased after Gan Xiaoning, Gao Cheng looked at the group of young soldiers with rare warmth and reluctance in his eyes.

"Master Hou!" the scholar called from behind Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng turned his head and frowned: "Why are you still here?"

The scholar worriedly looked around at the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield and carrying arrows and wine, and said in a low voice, "Master Hou, I think with the current situation, Yunzhou may..."

Gao Cheng glanced at him, unexpectedly did not get angry, but turned his head to look at the north of Xixing Pass, where He Sheath's army was gradually disappearing in the gust of wind, and said lightly: "The iron drum is still alive, and the blood of the horse leather is still not dry! I will I don’t plan to go back alive, but it’s a pity that these soldiers..." Turned to look at the scholar: "You go, go south, literati, you should go to that rich and peaceful place, singing romantic songs, this place is not suitable for you!"

The scholar's face was miserable: "Under the overturned nest, there are eggs? Once He Sheath enters Xixing Pass, there will be no such brave man as Hou Ye in the entire Rui Dynasty. Where will there be a place to sing the songs of the wind, flowers, snow and moon!" He could see the time clearly. It would be sooner or later that Xixing Pass would be breached. Gaocheng was defending the city with the determination to die. Impossible.Turning his head to look at the soldiers who defended the country and Gaocheng, the scholar gritted his teeth: "I'm leaving now, no matter what, I will definitely tell my friends and everything about this place and at this time, brothers, let everyone know, with you People like this use their lives to protect the country's last line of defense, even if one day the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, I want everyone to remember you, and remember the Lord Gao who used his life to support half of the dynasty!" After finishing speaking, before Gao Cheng could speak, With one cupped hand, he turned and walked down the city wall.

Gao Cheng watched him walk away, looked out of the city slowly, put his hands behind his back, and sighed softly, no one has great ambitions, and no one wants to be so useless for a luxurious and lustful person from the emperor to the officials, The dynasty that is about to overthrow dies, but Gaocheng knows that he has no other choice, not for the dynasty, but for these soldiers, just for the land that has been guarded for several years to be divided up one day later, Gaocheng can only carry it, carry it to death.He also has lofty ideals and lofty ambitions, but now, he has nothing to do except to be this meaningless cannon fodder. His parents are still in the hands of the emperor. If he wants his parents to live, he can only exchange his own life. .

The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun is setting in the long river.At sunset, Gao Cheng stood on the city tower and watched the smoke from the inner city winding up, feeling much more peaceful.For King He Sheath, after several years of fighting, Gaocheng still knows a lot about it. Today, King He Sheath is not killing innocent people indiscriminately. Such a thing like massacring the city will not happen. The reason why the merchants and people remained the same, the mansion sent people to invite Gao Cheng to go back for dinner, Gao Cheng sighed, and walked down the city slowly, submerged in the darkness of the interlaced lights and shadows of the towers.

Although the inner city hasn't changed much, it is a place of war after all. The bustling and noisy outer city in the past is rarely inhabited. Xu Sanduo, wrapped in a patched blue cloth double-breasted jacket, hunched over, hurried towards the inner city. Those who had a little way to do it all moved to the inner city. Only a few poor people like Xu Sanduo who fled from villages outside the pass into the city, outsiders were unable to move into the inner city.Soldiers in blood-stained armor and livery were walking around. Thanks to Lord Gao's ability to manage the army well, there was no harassment from these soldiers on weekdays, and it was peaceful.

Walking into the inner city, Xu Sanduo heaved a sigh of relief when he finally saw the bustling streets and bustling human voices. There was only one city gate separated. The soldiers in this world are completely two worlds, like a changing scene of impermanent drama.

Zuixiaolou is full of people, literati and elegant scholars moaning without illness, beautiful women Shuyuan who is smiling and looking forward, arrogant country gentlemen and businessmen come and go, dancers on the first floor are smoking green gowns with drum music, gauze veils and white wrists, falling down. There is a bit of an artistic conception of "the colorful sleeves are diligent and hold the jade bell, but they were drunk when they fought hard. Dancing with the heart and moon in the willow building, singing the peach blossoms and fanning the wind." However, this artistic conception must be appreciated by a royal family like Gaocheng, but Gaocheng has been involved in endless wars since he came here, and he has no time or energy to appreciate it, so this artistic conception in the eyes of ordinary people has become an endless desire, and in the eyes of Xu Sanduo..., by the way, This scene does not fall into Xu Sanduo's eyes. In his eyes, there is only the difference between wearing silk and cloth clothes, not even the difference between men and women. The escape all the way has made him only care about hunger, food, cold and warmth. These artistic concepts are still desires. In his eyes Everywhere is extravagant, too far away from him.

"San'er!" Cheng Cai put his arms around Xu Sanduo's neck: "Why are you so shocked? Change your clothes quickly, the shopkeeper will be swearing again after a while!"

Xu Sanduo was startled, turned around and saw Cheng Cai's expressionless face with a smile, he gradually settled down, followed Cheng Cai into the back hall to change clothes, took off his patched blue jacket, and put on a black jacket Loose-leg trousers, a snow-white belt tied around the waist, and the same white towel draped over the arms, all looked clean and tidy in a blink of an eye.

Xu Sanduo was about to go out after changing his clothes, turned around and saw Cheng Cai arranging his clothes in front of the bronze mirror, so he had to stand aside and wait for him.

Chengcai saw Xu Sanduo waiting for him in the mirror, lowered his head and tugged at the skirt of his clothes and said, "San'er, I found a house in the inner city. After working part-time today, you will go back with me to pack your things and move to the inner city!"

Xu Sanduo was still calm and numb: "The rent in the inner city is expensive, we have to save some money and go south. My father, your father and brothers may have already left the city and went south. We still need to find What about them! Besides, it’s okay to live here now..."

"What do you know?" Cheng Cai approached Xu Sanduo and said in a low voice, "I heard from Yuanwai Liu that He Xue would come in sooner or later, the inner city should be safer!"

A rare trace of worry appeared on Xu Sanduo's numb face, and he stammered: "If, if it really breaks in, the inner city and the outer city are the same, no place is safe!"

Chengcai was so angry that he slapped Xu Sanduo on the head: "Let me tell you, there are many wealthy households in the inner city. Even if those Tartars ransacked their homes, they would not be able to catch poor people like us. If they lived in the outer city, it would not be so!"

Xu Sanduo wanted to say something else, but Chengcai put his hand on the back of Xu Sanduo's neck, scratched it affectionately and said: "I pay three yuan a month, and I pay the rent. You save the money, and when you can go south, Can't you support me along the way?"

Xu Sanduo scratched his head, grinning and showing his big white teeth: "Success!"

I heard the shopkeeper shouting in front of me: "Young Master Yuan is here, come out and serve him personally!"

Chengcai hurriedly pulled Xu Sanduo out: "Quick, Yuan Lang is here!"

When Xu Sanduo heard the name, he shrank subconsciously, but he was still pulled by Chengcai, and couldn't help but say: "Chengcai, that Mr. Yuan...is not good!"

Chengcai looked back at him and smiled: "Do you know what is good or not? There is a lot of chaos outside. If you can make money, it's good to eat and drink well!"

"But, but he and the man... like that, it's not good..."

Chengcai pursed his lips, and looked back at Xu Sanduo before walking into the lobby: "That's the joke of a dude, do you think he really likes men? Look at him, he's a man who changes between men and women!" Actually He wanted to say that once the Xixing Pass was breached, and if He Sheath slaughtered the city, who would remember who liked young men and who liked prostitutes?It counts as a day if you can live a good day, but looking at Xu Sanduo's pure and clean eyes, you can only sigh.
