The happy life of a prodigal

Page 584

At this moment, the scene in front of him made the scene of the flood appear in front of his eyes...

what a pity.

After so many years, I haven't been able to go back to my hometown to take a look.

This was the last thought of the old pawn.

Because in the next second, he will devote himself to the battle of defending the city.

He picked up a stone and threw it down the ladder.

Once the ladder is built on the city wall, it will be difficult to overturn it unless a few young and strong work together.

The old soldier was old, so he could only hit the person who was climbing the ladder with a stone.

Besides, there is no other way.

The rolling logs in the city have been exhausted, and these stones were obtained by demolishing some buildings.

The old pawn heard the screams from time to time, although he was hugging the stone, his eyes gradually blurred.

It would be great if I could go back to my hometown...

Around the city wall, there was a tragic scene.

Inside the city wall, it was not much better.

Yamen.

Magistrate Qiu Ning sat on the grand teacher's chair with a very indifferent expression, as if nothing had happened.

Still reading the book quietly, while sipping tea, even though the shouting and killing on the other side almost enveloped the world, he was still doing his own thing.

Beside him, more than a dozen officials in the yamen were all anxious, walking back and forth in the yamen.

Things have come to this point.

No matter what they do again, it is meaningless.

At this moment, they only hope that General Meng's people can hold on for a while longer.

It would be best to wait until the people from An Zhou Mansion come.

"My prefect, you are still in the mood to read, those barbarians are about to attack the city!"

A chief clerk couldn't bear it anymore, looked at the magistrate Qiu Ning, and said anxiously.

The magistrate Qiu Ning raised his eyes to look at him, and said calmly, "So what? If you don't read books, what can you do to make those barbarians give up attacking the city?

That being the case, why not watch more things while still alive..."

The rest of the officials felt a little speechless when they heard this.

Your life is about to die, and you still want to see more things?

How great is this experience!

So, someone said: "Master Zhifu, do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be confused!

The barbarians are indeed attacking the city, but they are attacking the north gate. Although there are also attackers at the south gate, there are not many. Let General Meng send more people to escort us, there is still hope to rush out.

It's better than staying here and waiting to die. "

Upon hearing this, Qiuning Magistrate looked at the man and said coldly, "Why do you want to leave?"

After saying this, the yamen was silent for a moment.

Everyone couldn't understand the words of prefect Qiu Ning.

Why do you want to leave, of course it is to survive!

It's just that they dare not say it...

But some people are not afraid anymore.

My life is about to die, so I am afraid that you are a superior?

So, he said: "Of course it is for survival! Keeping the green hills here is not afraid of running out of firewood, magistrate, let's..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted: "Where are those people? Do they still have firewood?"

Chapter 884 It's Hot

When everyone heard this, they were all speechless, for a moment they didn't know what to say.

They all understood in their hearts what the prefect's words meant.

It is nothing more than wanting to live and die with Qiuning Prefecture.

The problem is, they don't want to do that!

From the current point of view, it is absolutely impossible for Qiuning Mansion City to be able to hold on. If you don't leave, you may have no chance!

Thinking of this, the head secretary of the Qiu Ning Mansion gradually changed his expression, looked at the prefect Qiu Ning coldly, gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, differences of ways do not conspire with each other, there is no one in this world who does not cherish his life !

Sir, if you want to stay in Qiuning Prefecture, that is your business, but you can't stop us!

We are leaving for the sake of the court and the people!

Without us, from now on, there will be so many less talents in this world.

What's more, for so many years, I have paid a lot for Qiuning Mansion. Who else would like to stay in such a place as Qiuning Mansion? "

At the critical moment of life and death, who cares if you are a magistrate or not?

Survival...is the most important thing!

The magistrate Qiu Ning obviously expected what happened before him, his expression didn't change at all, and there was even some sneer in his eyes.

This smile made the master and the others feel even more tormented.

The head secretary widened his eyes, looked at the prefect Qiu Ning, gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, please take care of yourself! I will take my leave first!"

After speaking, he pushed open the door, turned around and was about to leave.

Although he is only a small chief bookkeeper, he still has a lot of guards in Qiuning Prefecture.

If there is chaos, it is not impossible to leave from the south gate under the protection of the guards while taking advantage of the chaos.

No matter what, it's better to try it than to stay where you are and wait for death.

Magistrate Qiu Ning looked at his back, didn't say anything, just looked at the other people in the yamen, and said calmly, "What about you?"

When the others heard this, their expressions were very hesitant.

I don't know how long it took before someone finally said: "My lord, ants are still stealing their lives, let alone us, we have never been sorry to you in these years, so please let us live."

"Ha ha......"

When the Qiuning magistrate heard this, he just found it ridiculous, and said coldly: "I let you go? Even if I let you go, will those barbarians let go of the tens of thousands of people in my prefectural city of Qiuning?

You are all paid by the imperial court, but when it comes to the critical moment, you want to back down.

This officer looks down on you, what a thing!I tell you, even if there is only one person left in Qiuning Mansion City, even if I am just powerless, I will definitely not take a step back! "

These words are extremely firm.

After finishing speaking, he also picked up the long sword that had been prepared, and roared, "Come on!"

As soon as the words fell, the door of the yamen was kicked open.

More than a dozen guards in armor came in, all with swords in their hands, aiming at the few people headed by the master.

When the master saw this scene, he didn't know what happened.

The magistrate has already made preparations!

He turned his head to look at the prefect Qiu Ning, frowned, and gritted his teeth: "My lord, is this really necessary?"

"Of course!"

The prefect Qiuning's eyes became more determined, and he said: "If the people in this prefecture want to leave, no matter who they are, they will not stop them half a step, but you, no!

If the city is destroyed and people die, you also have to stay in the city, together with this Qiuning mansion city! "

"you......"

Hearing this, the chief secretary almost lost his breath in anger.

This dog, he didn't want to run for his life, but even stopped him.

The magistrate Qiu Ning was too lazy to entangle with him any more, he just looked at the guards and ordered, "Give these gentlemen swords and send them to the city wall to defend the city together!

Where the city of Qiuning is, there are people!

When the city of Qiuning Prefecture perishes, people perish! "

These words are extremely harsh.

After hearing this, the chief bookkeeper didn't know how to answer for a while.

The guards in armor responded, "Yes, my lord!"

After finishing speaking, he gave the master and the others a sword, pressed them down, and wanted to walk towards the city wall.

The chief bookkeepers are all extremely thin and weak, knowing that they have no advantage in strength.

Even if he wanted to escape, he would definitely be unable to escape, so he could only follow them to the city wall.

The prefect of Qiuning held his sword and said as he followed them, "I will be the last barrier for the city of Qiuning.

If the barbarians want to destroy the city, they must step on the body of the official! "

When the master and the others heard this, they just wanted to curse.

Crazy, all crazy!

This prefect of Qiuning is a lunatic!

That Qiu Ninghou is also a lunatic!

They have already heard about it.

If it hadn't been for Qiu Ninghou to arrest the eldest prince of the Qiyan Department, Qiyan Gong.

The people from the Begging Yan Department will not make up their minds to besiege Qiuning City.

Even if they are besieging, they will only besiege but not attack.

Even after the last time the Qiyan tribe failed to attack the city, the people of the Qiyan tribe were already preparing to leave.

This Qiu Ning Hou Meng Zhuang actually sent people to torture Qiyan Gong on the city wall again, in front of so many soldiers of the Qiyan Department, he repeatedly carried out such provocations.

At this point, the Qiyan Department will not give up until they capture Qiuning Prefecture!

If it wasn't for Meng Zhuang to provoke the Begging Yan Department, why did this happen?

What is this!

The master didn't understand why these two lunatics got together.

Why did these two normally nice people suddenly become so crazy when facing barbarians.

He doesn't understand.

All he wanted was to live his life in peace and stability, get some money, spend a few more years in Qiuning Prefecture, and then go back to Kyoto Prefecture.

He never thought of staying in Qiuning Mansion, and because of this, he couldn't feel the feelings of the prefect of Qiuning and the Marquis of Qiuning towards Qiuning Mansion.

What's more, they don't understand how the people of Qiuning Mansion hate the barbarians!

At this moment, even if he walked up the city wall, he could hear the wailing of the people around him.

He still couldn't help trembling, threw away the sword, and curled up in a corner trembling.

While doing this, he said to himself: "Don't see me, don't see me..."

It's like being an ostrich, burying your head, so you won't see the tragic scene of the siege.

Although the magistrate of Qiuning is also weak, he is a scholar.

However, at this moment, standing on the city wall with a sword in hand, he looked heroic.

While reciting poems, he swung his sword heavily and smashed at a barbarian pawn who had just emerged from the ladder.

At this moment, the siege and defense of the city have reached a truly intense stage.
