There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 848|The seventy-fourth dragon scale (four)

The seventy-fourth dragon scale (four)

"In the year of severe drought, no grass will grow, but locusts will grow, overwhelming the earth. I don't know if you have seen such a human world." Linglong said with a smile, it seems that these natural disasters mean nothing to her. , starved to death, saddened everywhere..."

She said several words in a row, with a sweet smile on her face, "I've seen it many times."

She has also witnessed the demise of human beings in many worlds. Human beings are really the strongest and weakest creatures, and she will only stand by and not interfere, because for her, this long and boundless life The rise and fall of mankind is too trivial.

Xu Chengbi stood up immediately. He didn't get angry because of Linglong's unrelated tone, but told her: "This kind of thing, except me, can't tell anyone else, remember?" /

Linglong tilted her head: "Huh?"

"In short, just remember it." Xu Chengbi's heart was particularly heavy. He naturally believed in Linglong. If Linglong's words would come true, then what kind of pity would the people of Limin be? The emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty naturally did not worry about food and clothing. Even if the sky fell, they still enjoyed the glory and wealth, but the common people were different. The common people were too easily hurt and died too easily. "Linglong, I'm going to summon Zhuge and others to discuss the matter. Can you listen to me? If possible, please give us some advice, okay?"

Linglong blinks, noncommittal. When Xu Chengbi agreed, he immediately sent someone to call. Apart from Xu Yuanji, who was escorting the darts, Zhuge Shang, Su Ji, Mao An, and the two advisors Xu Chengbi had conquered in the past two years, as well as Xu Jiajun, who had been dismantled. A few young generals trained among the brothers who escaped from the CCP gave them an early warning of a severe drought. Everyone was loyal to him. The duty of soldiers to obey made them not even ask the reason. command, and they will do it immediately.

Although Zhuge Shang and Su Ji thought a lot, they had gotten along with Linglong and knew that she had an extraordinary background. The girl who was always playing with the bell was very alert: "Master, who is this girl, can she also listen to our discussion this time?"

Linglong is sitting in Xu Chengbi's big chair. She is slender, and she looks big when she sits on it alone, so Xu Chengbi is standing all the time... It is the first time that the advisors have seen the unsmiling master. Like indulging a girl, she actually gave up her chair and stood with them in a condescending manner!

Although I don't know the origin of this girl, I always feel very suspicious.

Xu Chengbi regarded them as his confidants, and naturally he did not hide it: "Linglong was my benefactor when he left me from exile and removed the tattoo for me. You should also treat me with respect and respect Linglong. ."

"Yes."

Linglong is obviously very satisfied with Xu Chengbi's importance to her. She seldom speaks after that. She only occasionally interjects when Xu Chengbi is discussing with everyone. Xu Chengbi is no longer the general Xu who has countless people following her with a single call. And there is no power in their hands. Although the Golden Dragon Escort is very majestic in the local area, it may be an official order for the people to collect the food from the fields in advance, and not everyone will listen.

So, everything has to be the worst-case scenario.

This discussion continued until the night, Xu Chengbi left everyone to eat, and the two new advisers stared dumbfounded at their grandfather's obedience to the red-clothed girl, and even personally prepared vegetables for her and peeled them. The shell was removed and the thorn was taken care of. The girl accepted it as a matter of course. There was no stage fright at all, but it made people more curious about her origin.

One of the advisors surnamed Bai asked Su Ji, who was beside him, quietly: "There were rumors that a fairy in the sky rescued the general. Could this girl really be an outsider?"

Su Ji didn't say a word. The secret realm he entered back then was truly amazing. Even now, when he thinks about it, it is still memorable. Since leaving the secret realm, Su Ji has never eaten such tender meat again. .

After dinner, Xu Chengbi set up Linglong himself. The Golden Dragon Escort is very big, so he has a separate yard, and Linglong has to live here. He doesn't seem to know how much this will affect her fame. Xu Chengbi was going to refuse, but for some reason he agreed.

On the second day, Linglong slept until three poles in the sun before she woke up. The girl who was assigned to serve her was a little girl with very quick hands and feet, telling her that the master was talking to Feng Wu girl in the study.

Linglong asked: "Who is Feng Wu girl?"

The little girl replied crisply: "It's the accountant in charge of our security bureau. Mr. Zhuge said that her talent is not worse than that of men!"

Linglong went to the study. In the study, besides Xu Chengbi and Zhuge Shang, there was indeed a young woman in a short tie and a ponytail. She had a very charming appearance. Seeing that both Xu Chengbi and Zhuge Shang were smiling at Linglong, he was secretly surprised. He didn't know who this young girl was, yet he could get the two of them's amicable looks.

Because he wanted to think about the worst situation, Xu Chengbi asked Feng Wu to come over and clear up the account. When it was a last resort, he would choose to do his best to help the victims.

But their Golden Dragon Escort has just started for two years, and its foundation is not stable. Although there are many live births that can be used, no one knows how long the drought will last and how many victims will be affected. To put it bluntly, I am afraid it is A drop in the bucket doesn't make much difference at all.

Xu Chengbi was extremely anxious. Just as they had guessed yesterday, when the common people heard that they were told to harvest the grain from the fields in advance, they shook their heads like a rattle. This year's grain, in addition to paying taxes, had to be kept. Some of the households are chewing it, and the rest they want to sell and return for something, and the tenants have to rent an extra piece of money. Wouldn’t it kill them to receive grain in advance? Rao was Xu Chengbi's people who said that the sky was about to suffer a severe drought, but the people didn't believe it.

It only rained a few days ago, how could there be a severe drought?

After communicating with the local parents and officials, this state does not care about the lives of the people. Instead, the lions open their mouths and ask the Golden Dragon Escort Bureau for benefits, otherwise they will be punished for the crime of misleading the public!

Before disaster strikes, human beings are always overly optimistic.

The emperor is a hands-off shopkeeper, and the court is full of smog, and people with lofty ideals are disheartened. The emperor is full of ambitions, but in fact, after he ascended the throne, he did nothing but kill the Xu family, and when the Xu family disappeared, the Chang family immediately started to raise taxes. The officials at the top of the gang were shattered with blood, and the people below were desperately trying to make money. Who is suffering?

It's all people.

Linglong flipped through the dart board's ledger and let out a chuckle.

Feng Wu felt that this smile had a hint of sarcasm, and couldn't help frowning: "Does the girl have something to say?"

"Your account is wrong."

Ling Long replied.

"How is that possible!" Feng Wu immediately said, "I have recalculated this ledger several times over and over again, and there is absolutely no way to go wrong! Lord, you know that my subordinates have always tried their best and never dared to perfunctory!"

Xu Chengbi believes Linglong: "Is there really something wrong?"

"Yes." Linglong nodded, glanced at Feng Wu, and then pointed out a few errors in the numbers.

Feng Wu was secretly shocked, so she dared not despise Linglong.

Zhuge Shang smiled and said: "Feng Wu is very sensitive to numbers, and it is also the fastest and best among us who follow the master. The master let her take care of the logistics. Something went wrong, I don't know the girl..."

"I'm not interested." Linglong said, "I came out to play, not to help, don't think too much."

Zhuge Shang was rejected, showing a very sad expression: "It hurts the girl to say that."

Linglong was too lazy to pay attention to him, only said: "You guys have to hurry up, it's too late."

Too late...what's too late?

The next day, Xu Chengbi and others knew the answer.

In such a hot weather, they were wrapped in thick clothes and even their heads were covered, watching the overwhelming locusts swept in, the buzzing sound made the scalp numb, and I saw the locust swarm flying over The ground, when he left again, devoured everything, and nothing grew.

Countless people cried and cried, but it was too late. At this time, they regretted not listening to the words of the Golden Dragon Escort, and it was too late.

Zhizhou heard that there was a locust plague. At that time, he was so frightened that he could not stand still. He was too timid to look at it. trembling!

After the plague of locusts, it really was a drought, the earth began to crack, the rivers dried up, and the well water in the house was gradually unable to get up.

Unfortunately, this Zhizhou was afraid of losing his black gauze cap, so he did not dare to report it until the drought became more and more serious, almost swept over half of the beams, and when he could no longer hide it, he was far away in the palace indulging in sensuality and admiring beauties. Only the emperor of singing and dancing knows.

But what can he do? He couldn't fight against those old foxes in the court. If Xu Chengbi was still there, with Xu Chengbi's help, he might have a chance to turn the tide, but unfortunately it's gone.

As time went by, the disaster became more and more serious. If you go out, you can see dead people everywhere. Slowly, turmoil began to break out. The rich people in many places were forcibly entered by the disaster victims. life. Some people just want to beg for stuttering, while some people fish for fish in troubled waters, and there have been many tragic murders, and even in places where disasters are severe, there are incidents of changing children and eating.

Xu Chengbi lost a lot of weight because of this. The pre-disaster warning was ineffective. He could only do everything he could to buy a large amount of food and medicines. Many people began to leave their hometowns, their household registration was useless, the government closed doors and pretended to be dead, and the court was silent, as if they were going to watch the beams being eaten away.

At this time, the Turks made a comeback again, with internal and external troubles, and Daliang was at stake.

The DPRK and China are still separate camps, no one cares whether the people live or die, and no one cares about the Turks attacking. Xu Shao wanted to fight, but he had a tough temperament and offended many people. When the supply was insufficient, he suffered a defeat, and since then he has been frantically asking for help.

Persevere?

How to persevere!

Do not give money or food, let the soldiers drink the wind? !

Under this circumstance, Xu Shao made a decision that shocked everyone - he led an army of 200,000 men and joined the Turks!

When the news came, the emperor was lingering with the beauties. Hearing Xu Shao's treason, he instantly softened, and immediately became furious. The ones that can be used have been pushed out long ago. For the rest, they are better than anyone else when they study and flatter them. If they really go into battle to kill the enemy, it is better to let them die!

What should I do? How to do? How to do?

Is it really going to subjugate the country?

When the late emperor was there, the Xu family was powerful in the world, and the Turks did not dare to attack, and repeatedly showed weakness. Why did he change his face in an instant? And that Xu Shao, relying on his knowledge of Daliang and the map in his hand, led the Turks to start annexing Daliang! The cities were lost one by one, and the urgent letters came one by one. The emperor never imagined that not only did he fail to make meritorious deeds, but it was even difficult to defend!

He finally began to regret it.

It all started when he killed the Xu family!

If I knew this earlier, why bother!

If Xu Chengbi was still alive, how could there be today's disaster! If Xu Chengbi was still his right-hand man, how could he, how could he become a foolish monarch! The once ambitious emperor seems to have seen the evaluation of himself in the history books thousands of years later.

At this time, the dragon in the capital turned over, countless people lost their lives in their sleep, and even the palace collapsed in half.

Somewhere in the world, the emperor remembered what the guards had said when they came back to report after Xu Chengbi was kidnapped. The immortal said, "Tell you the emperor that he framed Zhongliangcao to save people's lives, and God will send a divine punishment."

Is this God's punishment? Is it because he did something wrong, so God will come to punish him?

From the plague of locusts, the severe drought, Xu Shao's betrayal, to the overturning of the earth dragon... All these natural and man-made disasters are because of him? !

How can the emperor accept it! He is the real dragon! He is expected! He is destiny! How could he be wrong!

The emperor who was addicted to the sensuality immediately abandoned the beauties, ordered people to search for famous monks and Taoists, ordered them to pray for the beams, pray for themselves, and asked God not to impose any more divine punishments, even the emperor himself was replaced Taoist robes, three incense sticks a day, bathing and fasting.

Xu Chengbi almost burst out laughing when he heard the news!

He really didn't understand how the young emperor could become like this. His people were suffering, and the Turks were eyeing them. As an emperor, he didn't want to treat the victims and deal with the disaster. body? It's so ridiculous, so ridiculous!

After Xu Shao betrayed the country, he was succeeded by a general named Qiu Chang. General Qiu was fifty years old this year. He once worked with General Xu and left the military camp due to serious injuries. But he was old after all, and with insufficient food and grass, the court was reluctant to reinforce, and he could only lead the soldiers to guard the border city.

The old general stood on the city tower, watching the Turkic iron cavalry rolling in the distance, with tears in his eyes. Like General Xu, he had three sons, but all of them died in battle. The older grandchildren He also failed to survive, leaving only the youngest grandson, who was only thirteen years old this year, with a childish look on his face, but he was already wearing armor and taking command, and he went on an expedition with him. When the old wife of the family sent their grandparents and grandchildren away, she burst into tears, wondering if they would meet again in this life.

"Today's stupidity! Reuse slanderers! Cruel Zhongliang!" the old general said loudly, "But my boys are all Daliang people, born as Daliang! Die as Daliang! People are in the city today! People in the city are dead. Die! Endless!"

The soldiers and the common people are all incensed, and the Turks have a brutal temperament. Anyone who enters the city must be burned, killed, and looted.

"People are in the city! The city is dead and people are dead! People are in the city! The city is dead and people are dead!"

Here are the Turkic prince Huqika and the rebel general Xu Shao.

Before the war, Xu Shao even wrote a heartfelt letter to persuade him to surrender, but was scolded by the old general Qiu, beheaded the envoy, and hung his head on the city gate.

Xu Shao was furious, the two armies were at war, and General Qiu was short of provisions. Xu Shao knew that he didn't need to use force, he only needed to besiege, and he could win without fighting!

Now I have even cooked and eaten the whip. The city is broken sooner or later. Old General Qiu looked into the distance and felt sadness in his heart. Beside him, the thirteen-year-old grandson described as haggard and thin, but had a determined look on his face. Old General Qiu murmured: "Xu Shao, Xu Shao, you are not as good as a thirteen-year-old child!"

Xu Shao didn't want to waste any more time and ordered a siege. General Qiu and his grandson led the army and the people to confront each other. Unfortunately, the strength of the two sides was very different. Seeing that some Turks had already climbed above the city tower, a weapon came flying out of thin air. , went straight into the back of the Turk's head, and in just a split second, he collapsed with a bang!

Sent dozens of urgent letters to the imperial court but received no response. Old General Qiu, who had long been desperate, looked up suddenly. Among the dusty troops in the distance, flags printed with the word "Xu" were fluttering in the wind, hunting and hunting. With a sound, he immediately shouted at the soldiers and people who were still fighting: "The Xu family army! The Xu family army is here! The Xu family army guarding my liang is here! Everyone, work harder! Drive the Turks back to the grassland!"

Xu Jiajun's reputation has been heard even by yellow-haired children. Who didn't grow up listening to Xu Jiajun's story when he was a child? Many children even aspired to serve in the military from an early age. It's just that the emperor was stunned and the Xu family army was scattered. Who would have thought that the Xu family army would come again today!

The old people are right, Xu Jiajun is the patron saint of Daliang! With them here, Turks don't even want to step into the beam!

Everyone suddenly felt energetic, covered in blood, and still tried their best to beat down the Turks who climbed up the wall!

He was led by Xu Yuanji, he was ordered to bring food and grass to support the old general Qiu, and he saw the Turkic flag from a distance, and the sound was like a bell, and the world was pale: "Xu Shao dog thief!!!! Today is yours. Dead time!!!!"

Xu Shao was discussing with people how to outsmart the border town when he suddenly heard this nightmarish voice, the map in his hand was unable to hold steady, and fell to the ground with a snap.

Xu Yuanji! It's Seo Won Ki's voice!

The two of them used to be like siblings, Xu Shao was thin, and Xu Yuanji protected him and helped him. The two used to be so close, but in the end Xu Shao chose to betray, and he would never forget his sword When he stabbed the general, Xu Yuanji's eyes were angry and disappointed.

From now on, they are no longer brothers, but mortal enemies.

And the Turks' fear of Xu Jiajun is engraved in their bones. It is obvious that the Daliang people are so spineless, but Xu Jiajun is like their natural enemy, especially Xu Yuanji, who is Xu Chengbi's fierce general, just hearing his voice, There were many Turks who were unsettled.

Xu Shao said in a timely manner: "Calm down! Nothing to be afraid of! There is no Xu family army anymore! Xu Yuanji has definitely brought not many people, what are you afraid of! It is destiny, you are all warriors, what are you afraid of!"

But then someone rushed in, rolling and crawling: "Wolf! Wolf! Wolf is coming!"

Seeing that he was so flustered, Xu Shao became more and more irritable. He kicked him. In the future, people kicked a few somersaults: "What are you afraid of! What wolves are there! This is not a grassland!"

"Wolf pack! Xu Jiajun brought wolves!"

"What?!"

Xu Shao couldn't sit still, he immediately went out to check, only to see Xu Yuanji carrying a big knife on his shoulder, looking at him with a big smile: "Xu Shao thief! Is it still a man! If it is a man, come out and fight!"

Xu Shao knows Xu Jiajun too well and Daliang too well, he must die.

Xu Shao looked at the wolves surrounding the Xu family army in disbelief. Each of them was shiny and thick with thick fur. These giant wolves were as tall as the chest of an adult man, and they looked terrifying!

"Brothers!" Xu Yuanji shouted, he was a loud voice, and on the battlefield of tens of thousands of people, his voice could clearly reach everyone's ears: "You are all natives of Daliang! You were once a member of my Xu family army! Today you really want to betray your own country! Your own people! Your own relatives! And your own glory! Abandon the prestige of the Xu family army! Abandon the dignity of human beings! Are you reduced to Turkic lackeys! "

"The Turks and my Daliang people are mortal enemies! They will never treat you as brothers! I know that many of you were forced to surrender because of Xu Shao! Now! As long as you rush over! You are still our brothers Isn't that right, brothers!"

The soldiers who followed Xu Yuanji shouted: "Brother! Come back, brother! Come back, brother!"

The shouting is so loud that Xu Shao betrayed the country for the sake of wealth, honor and glory, but many soldiers are still ordinary soldiers even if they follow him. They are not used to eating mutton, they think kumiss is not good, and they don't like the temperature difference between day and night. oversized grassland. They miss their homeland, miss their relatives, and want to live upright as Daliang people!

I have to say that Xu Yuanji's words are too contagious and sincere. I don't know who took the lead first. Anyway, there is the first person to rush to Xu Jiajun's side, and Xu Shao will do the rest. Can't stop it either.

He wanted to draw his sword and kill the traitor to deter others, but he shot a **** in the face. If he stopped a little later, this arm would definitely be abolished.

It turned out to be Mao An. Mao An, who is good at concealment and exploration, has already led the crossbowmen to ambush. Then give up your life.

In the past, Xu Shao also fought side by side with Mao An Xu Yuanji. At that time, they were good brothers who depended on each other for life and death.

Not anymore.
