Tang's dining table

The moon in the sky is big and round, and the bald heads on the ground are also shining brightly.

Yun Chu held a bow and stood behind the camel, very confused. When the monk was an assassin, did he only cover his mouth with a black cloth but refused to cover his bald head?

Their heads may have just been shaved, but under the pale moonlight, they actually reflected a faint cold light.

Yun Chu counted that the number of monks participating in the battle was only twenty at most, which meant that there were still sixteen missing.

The old monkey kept leaping among the monks. As long as he used the scimitar in his hand once, a monk's body would fall to the ground bleeding.

Watching a human head fly under the moonlight is really a very special enjoyment, because the human head will spurt out black blood in mid-air and will also rotate. The extremely fixed position of the moonlight will completely illuminate the expression of the human head. fell into Yunchu's eyes.

Some are ferocious, of course, but basically all of them are ferocious, without the reluctance to give up on life or the tenderness towards the world that Yunchu expected.

Under normal circumstances, the mouths on those people's heads are wide open. It seems that they didn't remember to call for help before their heads were chopped off.

It can be seen from this point that the sentence "When a man is about to die, his words are kind, and when a bird is about to die, his song is sad." This sentence has a big loophole, at least, it is not comprehensive.

Of course Yunchu would not stand in the light. The reason why he took Naha to live near the city wall was entirely because the city wall would shroud him and Naha in darkness.

Yun Chu knew that the old monkey was very skilled, but the fact that this old guy could cut the enemy in two with a scimitar was beyond Yun Chu's expectations.

Just when the bald heads were half damaged in the battle, a group of bald heads suddenly appeared on the ground opposite. Before he saw them drawing their bows, Yun Chu heard a "whoosh" sound that was different from the arrows. It was a crossbow!

The use of bows and arrows was not uncommon in the Tang Dynasty, but the use of crossbows was an exaggeration. This was strictly prohibited by the imperial court. Moreover, you can hear it from the sound of the crossbow arrows being fired. The crossbows used by the monks were powerful and had strong penetrating power. There were at least three The Hu man's body was shot through by the crossbow. A crossbow with such power could only be a military crossbow.

Another Hu man who was fighting screamed and fell down. Yun Chu originally wanted to shoot, but just when the arrow was about to leave the long bow, he suddenly changed the direction and shot the arrow at the gas hanging on the turret. Death lamp.

The angry wind lantern fell to the ground and quickly burned. Also burning were the defenders at the head of Guzang City.

The defenders who were watching the excitement suddenly found that the flames of war were burning on their heads. So, out of caution and in addition to the rule that they were not allowed to turn on and off at night, they rolled out the bed crossbows used to defend the city.

Under the bright moonlight, they could see clearly that a group of people were holding crossbows!

At this time, no one cares about who is right or wrong. Anyway, whoever has a crossbow in his hand must be in the wrong. To kill people near the city gate with a crossbow is the biggest threat to the defenders of Guzang City. humiliation.

"Buzzing buzzing" a sound of the air being pierced reached Yunchu's ears. He looked up and saw several thick crossbows leaving the city. In an instant, they pierced several bald men holding crossbows and killed them. The body left the place with it.

The bed crossbow on the top of the city was fired, and Yun Chu put away his bow, guarding Naha who was still sleeping soundly, and continued to watch the changes on the battlefield.

The bald men were miserable. It seemed that they were not planning to use crossbows here. However, the twenty men they sent could not defeat the old monkeys. So they had no choice but to take the risk and use crossbows, thinking that the defenders on the top of the city were here. Ignoring this kind of civil fight, unexpectedly, the angry defenders used bed crossbows.

Then, Yunchu saw a scene that he would never forget. As the monks began to run for their lives, the old monkey and the others began to chase him. Then, for some reason, the camels who were originally lying on the ground also chased the old monkey. They ran away.

When the camel team chased the old monkey and they disappeared into the darkness, under the empty Guzang City, only the stunned Yun Chu, the sleeping Naha, a bay-red horse and sixteen stupid horses were left. A squealing camel.

Yunchu was dazed for a while, then sighed slightly. The wind was strong at night, so he put Naha's black sheepskin cloak back on her after kicking it away, and then she hugged her knees with her hands and waited for dawn.

When the rooster crows, the sky becomes slightly brighter, and the gate of Guzang City opens wide. A group of cavalry rushes out of the gate and runs not far. When they see Yunchu, they turn back and take Yunchu away. Surrounded by Naha.

"Where do these thieves come from and dare to do evil in our Guzang City?"

Yun Chu looked at the brainless team member sitting on the horse and said leisurely: "When did the people from Zhechong Mansion in Shangzhou become thieves?"

As he spoke, Yun Chu still handed over his body. Seeing that the cavalry refused to dismount, he frowned and said, "Aren't you willing to dismount even after meeting your superior?"

Dui Zheng was illiterate, but at least he recognized the seal on Gao's body. Seeing that Yun Chu was calm and composed, he was not sure whether the Gao's body was genuine or not, so he jumped off his horse and said to Yun Chu, "I'm sorry, but the thief was here last night." Please tell me what the reason is for the fighting in front of the city."

Yun Chu glanced at the body lying on the ground and sighed: "What else could it be other than seeking money and killing people.

However, you girls are too courageous. There are bald thieves not far from the city gate, so you dare to kill and loot? "

The stupid team leader then remembered to check the murder scene, but he was still very smart and forced Yunchu to follow his people into the city.

Yunchu successfully met Guo Mingyi, the Facao under the Liangzhou governor, who was an official of the sixth rank.

After seeing Yun Chu's confession, transfer, and admission notice to the four majors, his face that was originally shrouded in frost suddenly became warm.

"A rare, rare young hero. The general manager of Gongyuedao has already reported the battle of Kucha City. I didn't expect to see the only remaining soldiers guarding the city today. I am very relieved to see you in good health.

Come on, send Doctor Yun to the hotel to rest. "

Yunchu was already prepared to be interrogated, and also planned to help the old monkey cover up. Unexpectedly, he didn't listen at all, and directly sent the brother and sister, horses and camels to Dongcheng Station.

In the past, they followed Ding Dayou's army all the way from the Western Regions. The army naturally did not have the right to stay in the inn. Later, after parting with Ding Dayou in Ganzhou, he followed the old monkey and slept in the open air, and he never stayed in the inn.

It wasn't until he was sent to Guanyi by Fa Cao, a subordinate of the Liangzhou governor, that Yun Chu knew that he had the right to live in Guanyi.

Of course, the rooms in the Guanyi are also divided into three, six or nine grades. Only the fourth-grade officials and above have the right to live in the courtyard. Yun Chu just took a look and fell in love with it immediately.

There was no way, the Guanyi room where he lived as an eighth-grade official was a two-person room with only two beds, a table, an oil lamp, and two urinals, and not even a futon.

The house where the fourth-rank official lives would be nice, it is a whole large courtyard. Although it can't be called carved beams and paintings, at least the beams and columns are covered with patent leather. There are two bedrooms, a study room, and a reception hall.

The ground of the entire yard is covered with green bricks, and the green bricks in the shade are still stained with a thin layer of moss. There is also a flower pond built with green bricks in the yard. At this time, although the peonies in the flower pond have long since withered, The dense green leaves completely enveloped the entire flower pond.

The most outrageous thing is that in this courtyard, there are actually four sinners and two servants who are responsible for serving the dignitaries who live in this courtyard.

The postmaster, like Yun Chu, was also an eighth-grade official. Everyone was of the same class, so it was natural to hit it off when we talked.

Although the postmaster thought that it was almost impossible for Yunchu to want to live in this courtyard, it could even be said that it was impossible for a toad to want to eat swan meat, because this kind of behavior was called transgression.

Yunchu saw Naha running happily in the yard like a wild dog off the leash. Everything she saw was new, even the red-painted toilet. She had to sit on it to feel the freshness.

The postmaster Ma Gui just smiled and watched a blond little girl making trouble in the yard without saying a word.

Yun Chu held Ma Gui's hand and said gratefully: "Brother Ma really bothered to find such a good house for me to stay in. Next time Brother Ma comes to Chang'an, I must come to Zhuquemen Street in Waiguo, Chang'an." Stay for a while at No. 11 on East Third Street, which is Jinchangfang’s home.”

Ma Gui quietly withdrew his hand from Yun Chu's hand and retracted it into his sleeve without any flaws. When his hand appeared outside again, it had already turned into a hand in thanks.

"Although Dr. Yun is staying here, the guilty woman in this courtyard is too old to serve others. I ask Dr. Yun not to blame her."

Yun Chu pointed at Naha who was running around the yard to catch dragonflies and said: "My sister-in-law has suffered all the hardships in the Western Regions with me. As long as they take good care of her, it will be fine. As for me, I am still young and dare not work hard to support Brother Ma."

Ma Gui looked at Naha again, then looked at Yun Chu carefully, and couldn't help but ask: "Is this the young lady of Lang Jun's family?"

Yun Chu sighed and was too lazy to make up another story for Naha, so he said a statement that all Tang people could accept: "I owe someone three lives. Even if I am not a biological child, I have become a biological sister."

Ma Gui nodded as if he had suddenly realized something and said: "It should be so, it should be so."

After saying that, he changed his face and scolded the guilty women who were standing in the yard like quails waiting for arrangements: "It's a good service. If the guests are not satisfied at all, I will send you to the military camp."

The sinful women bowed their heads and did not dare to say no.

I was in a good mood today, and the place where I lived finally looked a little better. Yunchu threw a bag of copper coins to the boy, and prepared for him to prepare some clothes for Naha and himself.

A gray-haired guilty woman suddenly walked a few steps to Yun Chu and said: "The guilty woman and the others are the best at needlework. If the husband doesn't mind, please buy some clothing materials. The guilty woman and the others will definitely be able to make the handsome husband." Satisfactory clothes.

The young lady has a lively nature and fair skin, and the husband is an official, so even a few brocade robes are appropriate. "
