Chapter 331: The ultimate world of the lonely city (2)

The sun sets west, and the tall Tulou Mountain in the northwest of Shancheng is rising one after another.

Immediately afterwards, the horn sounded, and the people of Shancheng knew that the Tang army was going out to train and returned to the city.

Because the Fan City has not stopped, many merchants passed by Shancheng on the ancient road of Tang and Tibet, or stopped to stay. This lonely city on the border is still as prosperous as before, or the sound of trumpets in the morning and night reminds people that the huge figures of war have been shrouded in it.

Duan Mingzhen brought the meal. A large basin of roasted lamb, a few Hu cakes, and a pot of wine. He cut a piece of lamb with a knife and put it to Hu Sheng's mouth and said, "Alang, how about the mutton I roasted?"

After chewing, he said, "It's delicious."

"Can you catch up with the roasted taste in those restaurants in Chang'an?"

"A hundred times better than what they bake."

Duan Mingzhen knew that this was praising her, and she wouldn't take it seriously. She held her cheek and asked, "What does Chang'an look like? I haven't been there once."

"Chang'an City is very big, and the walls are so high that you need to look up. There are countless people living in it. It is possible that the people in Chang'an City can be more than half of Tuyuhun. There are also many beautiful houses, and the roads are also very wide, which is several wider than those in Shancheng."

Regardless of enemies and friends, Chang'an City is now the yearning for almost all the people around the Tang Dynasty, a dreamlike existence.

"Alang, I really want to go and have a look. Do you want Chang'an?"

"I thought about it too, but the Tang army is so hateful. If we don't take our Zhaowu Jiusen seriously, I will definitely avenge this kind of revenge. Unfortunately, Li Jinxing escaped, otherwise when General Su He caught him, I will go up and kick him in the head."

"But I heard that Prince Tang said that the Han Hu family."

"Don't listen to him, let's drink."

"Yes, where is our family? I was poor since I was a child and fell in love with a young man. Later, he married me and lived a happy life, but later General Su He valued me and killed him." In fact, with the arrival of Su Hegui's attack, Duan Mingzhen's mood also changed more, and the balance in his heart was shaking again and again. Following Su Hegui, he could enjoy wealth and status with a prominent position. But Su Hegui was old. Although Hu Sheng's status was a little shabby, he was young and rich, and he was very kind to her. He might not be a good candidate to accompany her for life.

Once Su Hegui generals conquered Shancheng, Hu Sheng would undoubtedly die. What kind of generals are there? Tuyuhun is a group of centuries and thousands of men as the leader, and thousands of men as the general. How many ten thousand generals are there in Tuyuhun? Even if the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty is captured, it is impossible to make him a general of ten thousand people. This merchant did not know that he was with Su Hegui, but he had heard and witnessed many things. With such great contributions, Lunzan Po wanted to take up the big end, and the rest was Su Hegui, and then even a small part was divided.

It would be nice to be able to be the leader of Hu Sheng. What a thousand generals! This is clearly a desire to kill people to silence him after success and erase his merits. Also, he is Su Hegui's forbidden body. Before his purple face became old and deteriorated, Su Hegui was really willing to give himself to Hu Sheng?

Hu Sheng heard it, but he didn't dare to answer, and he didn't believe it. He continued to hide and seek, avoiding this topic and said, "Mingzhen, I will treat you well in the future."

Hu Sheng had made up his mind, and Duan Ming was really not good to continue talking, so he had to say, "Alang, have a drink."

Pour a glass of wine for him and treat it as good to me. Just treat it as a dewy marriage these days. Be kind to him and repay him.

After a few glasses of wine, two big men broke in. Because there were many people with him this time, and these people were not crazy about their plans, he had to buy a house in Shancheng with his female relatives. He went in and out, and there were three houses on three sides. Su Hegui's subordinates lived in two rows of houses in front, and he and Duan Mingzhen lived in the house behind.

One of the two people who came was Murong Zhi and the other was Su He Yousui, who were close friends with Su Gui. But then again, two hundred heroes were sent this time, and the other was not Su Hegui’s close friends. Not only were Su Hegui’s close friends, but they were all very clever, including some people in the secret, otherwise they would not have let them go deep into the city of Shancheng alone.

After ceremonial treatment, he was not very respectful to Hu Sheng, but was very polite to Duan Ming, who was wearing a green embroidered thin silk skirt. Murong Zhi said: "Tonight, the general will attack Shancheng."

"That's great." Hu Sheng stood up happily.

The two looked at each other, but didn't see anything unusual on Hu Sheng's face. They nodded each other. This was intentionally notified Hu Sheng, in order to confirm the final confirmation. If there was anything wrong, the attack would be terminated immediately.

"Then I won't bother you," Su He Yousui owed one body and retreated with Murong Zhi. He had to send the news before the Tang Dynasty army closed the city gate.

Duan Mingzhen was even more confused. Hu Sheng didn't know his idea, but he thought about it from his position. If Tang Jun is notified at this time, there is still room for recovery. Once the Tuyuhun people arrive, everything will be a foregone conclusion.

So he spoke, "Actually, when I was a child, my family was very miserable, and my tribe members were very thin."

The Duan family is also a large clan in Tuyuhun, but like Tuoba Dangxiang, they are not together, but are also divided into several tribes, some are large and some are small.

"I was not very sensible at that time, so I married him. After he, he always felt that I had a happy time. Or, after marrying you, I was also happy." I still didn't understand the rules of the Central Plains. Although I learned from the people of the Central Plains and changed my husband to Alang, I don't know that her relationship with Hu Sheng is not called marriage, but Na: "Alang, who else do you have in your family?"

"There are also mothers and several concubines in the family, and several younger brothers."

"Will you implicate your family if you defect to General Su and General?"

"I don't know either."

"I really want to go to Chang'an with you..."

"Don't talk nonsense," this sentence was too clear. Hu Sheng immediately stood up to stop it, but his tone softened again. He held her hand and said, "Mingzhen, don't worry, I will let you live a happy life for the rest of your life."

Duan Ming really ignored him.

While the two were playing with their worries, the pace of war finally approached.

Li Wei asked Xue Na: "Does any of their people leave Shancheng?"

"There is a person named Su Heyou just left the city."

"Okay, close the city gate and start."

With the sound of cymbals, the gates on both sides of Shancheng slowly closed. But it was not over, and teams of soldiers came out in sequence.

The door of Hu Sheng’s house was knocked on. The doorman looked at dozens of armed Tang soldiers outside and asked suspiciously: “How many soldiers, who are you doing?”

“Article inspection is ordered.”

As for the routine inspection, the concierge didn't care. While sending someone to notify Hu Sheng, the leader opened the door. The leading lieutenant still said expressionlessly: "Take out your documents, and everyone will gather in the courtyard."

"Here," Hu Sheng responded. Murong Zhi and the others didn't care. Before coming, Hu Sheng had completed all the procedures for them, otherwise he would not have entered Shancheng. He stood one by one, Hu Sheng took the documents and the captain took them in his hand, but he squeezed his eyes. The two guards strode forward and stopped Hu Sheng behind him, then shouted: "Catch!"

Murong Zhi and the others were not easy to mess with, but at this time, they were bare-handed. How could they be the opponents of these Tang soldiers who were like wolves and tigers? As soon as they resisted, they were killed by Tang soldiers and immediately killed in the yard. Duan Mingzhen screamed in fear.

Hu Sheng whispered: "This woman is my concubine."

"I know, Your Highness the Crown Prince gave a special order and said that you are very lucky," the captain haha, he is Qie Zhu, one of the guards of the Qie Zhu under Li Wei. He was relieved. The 20,000 Qie Zhu soldiers were really relieved because of these hundred guards guarding Li Wei's safety day and night. He patted his shoulder and said, "The arrest is over, Your Highness, please come over and talk."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Murong Zhi's face changed drastically, his elbows were tied up with ropes, but he couldn't help but curse: "You ungrateful guy, have you forgotten how our general treats you?"

Qi Zhuo held his chin with a horizontal knife and said, "Stop tug! If your general really respects Hu Sheng, how dare you be lazy in the past few days Hu Sheng? Ten thousand generals, how many ten thousand generals are there in Tuyuhun? Pull down!"

He turned around and said to Hu Sheng: "Go and pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Hu Sheng came to Duan Mingzhen hesitantly and said, "I lied to you, but if you want to see Chang'an, I will take you to see Chang'an in a few days."

Duan Mingzhen did not answer angrily, but followed Hu Sheng to pay homage to Li Wei. Li Wei didn't say anything. He looked at Hu Sheng ambiguously, then looked at Duan Mingzhen who was secretly looking at him with a pair of wonderful eyes and said, "I want to see it, look openly. I am the same as you, with two eyes, one mouth and one nostril."

Duan Mingzhen was so happy that Hu Sheng pulled her skirt and said, "Don't be rude."

"Hu Sheng, there is no need to be restrained. This time you made great contributions, but you cannot reward you now. You have to wait until after the war, the war report from Gu General will be submitted to the court before you can reward you. Well, I forgot one thing. Gu congratulate you on your beautiful lady. This is a jade pendant that Gu carried with you, as a congratulatory gift."

"I don't dare to take it."

"Behave, but you sit down and suppress your shock first, and you still have affairs." He said that. There were still many things to leave. He captured all the detailed works found in the city one by one, and then ordered all the people in the city and the merchants who were temporarily living, to bring their valuables at home or around them. Then he gathered in two large warehouses in the south and north of the city.

These two places have been classified as warehouses for a long time. After Li Jinxing arrived, he expanded it. After Li Wei arrived, he expanded it again. However, there were many supplies, especially gunpowder, so the guards were tight. In fact, Li Wei played a trick and took some effort to transport bags of clay from the rear at any cost. It seemed that a large amount of food and supplies were transported. In fact, it was not. Then he used clay to secretly build these two large warehouses into two cities in the city.

Or the Tubo scouts also saw it, but they absolutely couldn't remember it. It was normal to build a tall and solid wall in the warehouse. It was far away, otherwise some wrong things could be seen. Therefore, Su Hegui never thought of this news.

You can't move outside the city either. Because of the harassment of war, there are not many people in the city, most of them are soldiers, but there are also many people who move to the rear and once they leave the city, they will attract attention. But this time, many people are reluctant and noisy. But Xue Na said: "Tonight, there will be tens of thousands of Tubo troops invading Shancheng."

All said nothing.
Chapter completed!
