sinking into sand

It was almost dusk again.Qiuqiu 3 3 Ling [-]_wine_[-]%[-], wine] [-],

There is no rain today, but it is expected that the sky will be full of stars tonight.It's a pity that there have been many funerals on the Lijiang River in the past few days, and the siege of the iron armored army who didn't care about fragrance and jade, can only let down the vastness of the stars.

Or maybe, there are still some places that won't let you down.

It's not dark yet, and on the main street of Pingchunfang, some shops have already begun to decorate.

Although there have been a lot of funerals in the Lijiang River these days, since the Yamen and Jinzhan Pavilion have not issued an order prohibiting business, even though the ostentatious singing and dancing and lanterns have stopped, there are still shops open, but they are more low-key.

Li Da was drinking in a restaurant - in fact, he usually doesn't come to this kind of place.In his eyes, the entire Lijiang River was originally the private property of Prince Li's Mansion, so he naturally went to the best place and drank the best wine.

But not now.

He didn't come alone, there were two groups of people beside him and outside the restaurant, one group was the guards of Prince Li's residence, and the other group was the disciples of Jinzhan Pavilion.

There was an incident around Lanping that day, and many people died.Because he drank too much the day before yesterday and was lazy, he didn't go to the funeral and just escaped.But maybe it's no big deal to go, after all, didn't Mrs. Lingyun come back with a full body?

Thinking of that woman, Li Da suddenly felt sullen again.I don't know what my old man thinks, these days he always calls Lingyun to talk to him.It seems that some affairs have been handed over, but it seems that she is a woman to be the master of the house.

After the Raoping Incident, Zhai Su entered the city.Those armored soldiers patrolled the city every day, saying they wanted to investigate the Guan family members who committed crimes on Lanping, who knew what was going on behind the scenes.Those whose families died came to Prince Li's mansion to block the door...

Li Da had drunk two cups of wine, and he didn't have those dandies in the past to talk to him. All the bad things in the past few days were circling in his mind, and the more he drank, the more uncomfortable he became.When he got to the point where he didn't like drinking, his brain hurt, and he smashed the flagon directly, making a loud noise.

He was throwing something to get discouraged, but the guards of the Jinzhan Pavilion over there didn't know what they were thinking, and drew their swords directly, and there was a sound of gold and iron, which made Li Da's head hurt even more.

"What are you doing?! What are you doing?!"

Li Da yelled and scolded: "What are you doing?! Where is Yu Duanjiang?! Why is everyone sending me here?! Change people! Change people for me!"

He shouted with the strength of wine, but the swords of the Jinzhan Pavilion disciples did not retract.

Li Da had a misunderstanding. These Jinzhan Pavilion disciples were no longer his thugs at will.They went out this time to watch him.

Going out this time, in fact, according to Yu Wangling's intention, it must not be allowed.Now that the Iron Armored Army has entered the city, although the strength of the city defenses in various places has been controlled, after all, the evils have accumulated for many years, and the tail will not go away.A corresponding item is still in the process of checking and handing over.What are you asking Li Da to do on the street at this time, is it messy?

But for some unknown reason, Yu Duanjiang agreed to this matter, but sent some people from Jinzhan Pavilion to watch him.

It is nothing more than to show the kindness of the court and to appease people's hearts.

Li Da didn't think about the twists and turns behind it at all, he just knew that people seemed to be dead, and these people seemed to be crying at Prince Li's mansion.And because of this, the business of Jinzhan Pavilion has not been good in the past few days, and it has also affected the income of his subordinates.He was upset, the wine in Jinzhan Pavilion was not good, he wanted to come out to drink.

It's just that I didn't expect to have a drink outside and it wouldn't go well.

Li Da endured the throbbing pain in the side of his head due to alcoholism, and yelled: "You still dare to point a sword at me, don't you! Believe it or not, I will let Yu Duanjiang peel off your skin when I go back—! You——! "

"Stab -----------!!!!"

Li Da hadn't finished cursing, when suddenly there was an extremely sharp and piercing noise, the sound was extremely penetrating, even after some distance, it still seemed to be ringing right next to his ear.It is extremely refreshing, as if it is about to penetrate through the Tianling Gai in the next moment.

Li Da's thoughts of cursing people were completely disturbed by the flying sound from outside the sky, and he didn't care about whether the guards respected him or not, so he leaned out the window and shouted angrily to the outside: "Who? !!!!!!”

—

"Who are they?"

In the Jinzhan Pavilion, a wing room in the outer courtyard, Wei Jian was detained here, and a whole day has passed.This is what he heard the most here today.

Many people were detained together with him, they were all familiar faces, and they were all generals of the city defense forces.He knows them all, but not very well.

There was no war in the Lijiang River, and there were not many troops stationed in previous years, but the military pay was normal.So much so that these officers who lead the troops are more like fishing for oil and water with false titles.The military pay can eat one level, these military households can eat one level, and then the land allocated for military training can eat the third level.

Such a good position can't be obtained without an idea and status.

Wei Jian, a ghost from Ziheche, even if he tried his best to establish a decent identity for himself, he was not worthy at first.It was only because his father-in-law died of his only son that he had to train his son-in-law instead, so he got this position by relying on his in-laws.

These people seemed to be called together early in the morning today, and then some unfamiliar faces brought them out one by one for questioning.The people who left didn't come back, so I don't know what the regulations are.

Wei Jian leaned against the wall of the wing room, with countless thoughts running through his mind.

He was not of a high level, and the information he received was disorganized, so he couldn't grasp the pulse of this shocking change around Lanping.

Zhai Su entered the city, is it a coup, or is he really just here to help suppress the bandits?Is this bandit talking about the Prince of the North?

If it was a coup, why hasn't the Li family been completely sealed off? Have the casualties on Lanping Ping been counted? It's really like what his wife said, the Li family and the Li family are friends?What about the nobles of the Luyang faction?alive?or dead?

Wei Jian's mind was very chaotic.He has stayed in this peaceful place for a long time, and at most he has only seen fights among his colleagues.This is the first time a heaven and man have fought like this.

He did not come from a noble family, although he was supported by his father-in-law, but the old man had already passed away, if not for his prestige in the army, he would not even be able to keep this.

Even if he has the ability to manage the army, he has never experienced such a situation, and he cannot see through it.

Just when Wei Jian was in a state of confusion, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

"Wei Dutong? Wei Dutong, I'm calling you."

Wei Jian was snapped back to his senses, and looked blankly at the place pointed by the other party.

It's not the person who passed the number before, but a tender-faced one.

Wei Jian forcibly suppressed the anxiety in his heart and walked over.

The place where he was taken was a little far away, and his colleagues were all taken to another room next to the wing.But he was taken to another private courtyard, and entered the central room, which was full of books, and there was a desk in the middle. Xiang Feibai was working at the desk, and he didn't know what he was writing.

He was led to sit across from the desk, and the man who had brought him went out and closed the door behind him.

Xiang Feibai wrote for a while before stopping, and picked up a booklet that was placed beside him.Without looking at him, he asked, "Wei Jian, is Wei Dutong?"

His tone was really disrespectful, Wei Jian endured a bit, and said, "Yes."

"A native of Lijiang, married Luo Dutong's daughter, so he became the Dutong title, and his experience is very innocent." Xiang Feibai quickly flipped through the booklet and repeated, grinning: "It's just that my brother-in-law died very strangely."

Wei Jian's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he still didn't say a word.

Xiang Feibai didn't seem to notice the change in him, so he said on his own, "I searched the Zihe car up and down, but I don't know where you went. It turned out that the old pavilion master detained it, and that was the delay." one day."

After all, he finally put down the copybook in his hand, and looked at Wei Jian: "To make a long story short, there are some things in the cabinet these days, but it's not a reason for you to slack off. Tell me, why there is no communication between the outpost these days, Completely paralyzed."

Hearing this, Wei Jian was startled at first, then puzzled again, frowned, and said firmly: "It's because the outpost didn't receive the news from Jinzhan Pavilion, why are we paralyzed?"

Xiang Feibai's expression was also very numb. He interrogated several people today, and they all said this.It will take time to find out whether this is a well-recited word or is there really something else hidden.

Well, there are other business matters.

After this matter was over, Xiang Feibai lowered his eyes and stretched out his hands to rub the center of his brows, and said, "There is one more thing, you are different from other people, the positive identity is the most important position, and you have to listen to the old pavilion master and Zhai." The general's arrangement. But in order to avoid trouble, I'd like to invite your wife to stay in Jinzhan Pavilion for a few days."

Having said that, Xiang Feibai put down his hands, looked over, and said in a tone that was completely informing: "You don't mind."

Wei Jian raised his head and looked at Xiang Feibai with a tired face from days of interrogation.

He suddenly understood that the sky was about to change.
