Chapter 219: The blood rain in Tadu and the **** storm in Xizhou

 The winter solstice is as big as the new year.

The majority of the people in Xizhou were originally Han Chinese, and those famous families also paid attention to the traditions of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, so there was a lively scene during the winter solstice every year. It's just that on this winter solstice of the first year of Xianqing's reign, in the whole Xizhou city, the joyful and noisy slaughter of sheep and animals in previous years can't be seen. Pedestrians on the street are coming and going in a hurry, and even the figures of strong men are rare.

At the gate of the Xizhou Protectorate, the notice calling for men and women from all over the state to take turns to serve in the army is still posted in the most eye-catching position. However, in previous years, officials and servants who should have taken a rest on this day were coming in and out. Busy as hell.

Liuli had a day of leisure. Thinking that she had not seen Kang for a long time, Liuli took Jieli to An's house next door in the afternoon. Kang's body had obviously become bulky. As soon as he saw Liuli, he quickly came up and took her hand, "We haven't seen you for a few days, how come you have become so thin? You don't need to take care of yourself!"

Liuli could only sigh. On such a cold and windy winter day, she just wanted to stay at home comfortably. However, there were some things that she could not avoid with peace of mind. Just like Anzaburo, it had been more than two months. Haven't you ever returned home? However, looking at Kang's swollen belly and listening to her familiar whisper, Liuli's mood, which had been a little boring these days, suddenly calmed down. When I entered the back room, I saw that the bed was full of exquisite and bright clothes. I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why are they all made of red flowers?"

Kang's smiling face was almost glowing, "The aunts all said that this baby looks like a daughter. I'm scared of that **** in the family!" As he spoke, he looked at Liuli's waist and whispered, "It's winter now, so you should take some replenishing. I think Han Si is quite capable. He was originally said to be very good at treating trauma injuries. In the past few months, everyone has seen women and children. The Tao is not bad, if you let him see it, he will definitely be more dedicated."

Liu Li smiled and shook his head. With his body, he is still under eighteen years old. Isn't it too early to take tonics? Seeing that she was disapproving, Mrs. Kang said a few words in a hurry. Just when Liuli couldn't resist, there was a sound of rapid footsteps outside the door.

A Yan's voice was still breathy, "Madam, there are guests at home who came to the door and said they brought a message from A Lang."

Liuli stood up quickly, took two steps, turned around and said, "Sister-in-law..."

Mr. Kang burst out laughing, "What kind of false etiquette are you talking to me about? It's serious to go back as soon as possible!"

Liuli's face felt a little feverish, "I'll have time to talk to my sister-in-law in two days." Xiaotan went to the door and opened the curtain, Liuli walked out quickly, and heard Xiaotan laugh and say, "Why is this guest so important? , Do you want my sister to come on this trip?"

Liuli's heart moved, and she glanced at Ayan. Ayan was obviously walking in a hurry, her cheeks were red, and although her face was calm, her eyes were clearly full of anxiety. When she met Liuli's gaze, she nodded slightly.

Liuli's heart suddenly sank, and she walked out quickly. When she got out of the yard, Ayan followed and whispered, "It's the Mi Dalang who sent Mrs. Yunyi here last time. He said that something happened at the military camp." , Alang asked him to come to Xizhou to find Prince Qu and report to the court. "

 Report to the court? Liuli couldn't help but pause in her footsteps, turned around and said, "Xiaotan, go to the Protector's Mansion and ask if the prince is here today. If he is, please ask him to come home quickly."

Xiaotan looked at Liuli in shock, then turned around and left. Ayan said hurriedly, "Madam, the situation of Mi Dalang seems to be not good. I think you should go find Dr. Han first and ask him to come over and take a look?"

Liuli nodded and walked home in three steps and two steps. As soon as he entered the gate of Qushui Fang, his heart sank to the bottom: there were several people standing near the door of his house, pointing and whispering from time to time. Someone saw Liuli at a glance and said loudly, "Ms. Kudi, someone with bloodstains on his body entered your house first! Some people said that he looked like a rice dealer. He is not a good person. Madam, please Let the young ones go to the mansion to invite the officers to come over? "

 This Mi Dalang is actually a notorious person? Liuli secretly thought it was bad luck and hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you everyone, I already know that there is no need to bother the servants, I know it well." Someone wanted to ask again, but Liuli didn't say much, waved her hand, and walked into the house. . When she entered the main room in the outer courtyard and saw the situation inside, she couldn't help but scream in pain.

In the hall, Mi Dalang, whom he had met a few months ago, was sitting crookedly on the mat. He looked as if he had lost half of his weight compared to last time, and was several shades darker. The spots on his winter robe were obviously stained with blood, his face was also gray, and his nose was bruised and swollen, which made his already fierce face even more ferocious.

Opposite him, Yunyi stood with her arms akimbo, her snow-white face flushed red, and her voice was sharp and harsh, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will fork you out first. You don't care about saving people and reporting news, and you don't know what you are." Virtue, you actually tricked your sister!"

Liuli hurriedly walked up and grabbed Yunyi, "Why are you here? You go back to your yard first, and I will take care of these matters." Seeing Mi Dalang struggling to get up, he waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. What happened?"

Yunyi turned around and looked at Liuli, "Sister, don't listen to him. This person is the most cunning. Now he has made up a bunch of nonsense, saying that the Tang army massacred Taduk City, and he injured two Tang soldiers because of saving people. After escaping from the Tang camp, Pei Changshi ordered him to come to Prince Qu and report the matter to the court! He didn't even think about it. He Lu was not a subordinate of a big city like Tadu, so why did the Tang army massacre it? I don’t know how many lives this person has caused, but when did he change his career to save people? What a lie!”

 Slaughter the city? Liuli's expression suddenly changed, and an originally vague impression suddenly became clear.

Mi Dalang had a sneer and a fierce look on his face, and hissed, "Mi Dalang is certainly not a kind person, but if you make a false statement today, you will be struck by thunder one day!"

Yun Yi snorted coldly, "Do you think you won't be struck by lightning..."

Liuli was upset and couldn't help but said, "Yunyi, go back to the yard first!"

Yun Yi suddenly became anxious, "Sister, he is really not a good person!"

Liuli sighed, "Yunyi, I don't care whether he is a good person or not. I'm afraid what he said today is true!"

Mi Dalang's eyes widened, and he struggled to get up from his seat, "Thank you madam, thank you so much for trusting Mi. Madam, go and invite the prince over. If you are late, it will be too late. Over at the military camp, General Su said that the city should be massacred. He is a thief and refuses to share the wealth with them, so they accuse him of being a remnant of the rebellion! Pei Changshi said that he must let the court know about the massacre, and he said that the sooner the better! "

Liuli looked at him seriously, "I have already ordered people to go to the prince's side. What happened to the massacre of the city? How did you become a remnant of the rebellion?"

Mi Dalang had already stood up and said, "Madam, six days ago, the Tang army arrived at the gate of Taduk City, and the Lord of Taduk City brought people out of the city to surrender. Xiantouyuan also said it well, but for some reason, the next day I took leave at the military camp in the afternoon and went into the city to look for someone. I discovered that it was a **** on earth! I had never seen such a miserable situation. The streets were full of corpses, and every step of the street was filled with blood. The pit, the pile of dead bodies in front of the city gate is as high as one person, and there are baby babies thrown to death on the stone slabs at the door of many houses! The screams of those women can be heard throughout the city..." He said more. The more excited he became, the clenched fists almost reached Yunyi and Liuli. His eyes were red and they looked like wild beasts. "Six thousand people. There are five or six thousand people in Tan Du City! In one day and one night, there were actually They have all become wronged souls!”

Yun Yi was so frightened that he took a step back and was speechless for a moment. Liuli also stayed there, "Murder City". It was not that she didn't know the horror of these two words, but when she heard these **** words, she felt as if her chest was blocked by a huge stone, and her throat was so tight that she could not speak. , after a while he said, "Dalang, please sit down and talk." Mi Dalang took a few deep breaths, sat back slowly, and lowered his voice, "Mi is not a kind person by nature. When I entered the city this time, I originally He had no good intentions and wanted to borrow this military armor to get some money from someone he knew. Who would have thought that out of the dozens of people in that family, only a teenage daughter was left, hiding in the water? The tank was trembling, and when she recognized someone at once, she hugged someone's neck and cried loudly. Someone, someone... then knocked unconscious the two Tang soldiers who came in after hearing the sound, took her out of the city, and put her on a horse! "

"It's all because of Mi's poor thinking, which caused trouble to General Su. On the third day, General Su sent people to send Mi out of the barracks. Only then did I hear that General Su refused to accept the stolen goods from Datuk City. Gold and silver property, Manager Wang insisted that Mi was a spy from Taduk City, and said that General Su had taken in the Taduk spies a long time ago, so he was merciful to such a traitor and finally escaped to Pei Changshi. Over there, Pei Changshi said, now that the matter has come to this, the only way to do it is to write to the court immediately and let the Holy Emperor know about it. It would be best if the crown prince can persuade Qu Duhu to write a letter. If that fails, the crown prince can be asked to send someone to send Mi Mou secretly. Go to Chang'an and say that your lady will know how to make this matter come to heaven."

Liuli felt a slight shiver in her heart. She immediately understood what Pei Xingjian meant and nodded silently.

The room fell silent for a moment. Yunyi came back to her senses, pulled Liuli aside, and whispered, "Sister, do you really believe what he said?"

Liuli sighed, "Who can make up such a big thing as the massacre of the city? Mi Dalang has been following General Su for nearly a year, and now he is using this matter to deceive you and me. What's the benefit to him?"

Yun Yi also bowed her head in silence for a moment. Liuli patted her hand, turned around and asked Mi Dalang a few words, and then realized that the military warehouse where Pei Xingjian was located had almost no food to send, and the rations of the soldiers in the army had been reduced since half a month ago. Halfway through, the horse feed had already doubled, and the war horses could barely get enough fodder to feed themselves, but the private horses used by the infantry to travel were starving to death in large numbers, and there were many complaints in the army. I think Wang Wendu came to massacre the city, not only because he refused to return empty-handed, but also because he wanted to plunder food, grass, money and silk, so as to stabilize the morale of the army...

While he was talking, the door curtain was raised, and Ayan walked in quickly, followed by Han Si. He was wearing a decent winter robe, and his expression was still indifferent. He nodded to Liuli when he entered, and only glanced at it. , he walked to Mi Dalang in two steps, and without saying a word, he stretched out his hand to take his pulse.

Mi Dalang was startled and snatched his hand away. Liuli hurriedly said, "Mi Dalang, this is a doctor. He is best at treating trauma injuries. Dalang should treat the wounds first before reporting the matter to the crown prince."

Mi Dalang then stretched out his wrist and frowned again, "Thank you madam, Mi is fine. It's just that he broke his nose while riding a horse in the middle of the night and bled a little more."

Han Si focused on the diagnosis for a long time, then let go of his hand and said coldly, "It's indeed nothing serious. It's just that I haven't rested for a few nights. I was bleeding after being frightened, and there are still injuries on my body. If I stay like this for two days, I will live for at least two years." !”

Mi Dalang couldn't help but said "Hey" and looked at Han Si with wide eyes. Han Si ignored him and turned to Liuli and said, "Madam, please stay away for a moment. Han wants to check this person's injuries."

Liuli nodded and said "Thank you" and left with Yunyi and Ayan, but Xiaotan walked in from the outside out of breath, "Madam, Crown Prince Qu is not in Xizhou. He said he would only come back in the afternoon tomorrow! "

Liuli's brows furrowed tightly. Qu Chongyu probably went to another county in Xizhou. It was getting late now, and it was useless to send people to look for him. She felt vaguely uneasy, but she also knew that she could only wait until tomorrow.

Not long after, Han Si came out of the main room and said that Mi Dalang's injury was not serious. He had already applied medicine and he would come back the next day to change it. There was no need to prescribe a prescription. He just wanted to let Mi Dalang rest peacefully for two days.

Liuli nodded and thanked her, then smiled at Ayan and said, "Go get some medical fees and give them to Dr. Han."

Han Si's face suddenly turned cold, "Who does Madam think Han Si is?"

Liuli couldn't help but was startled, and Xiaotan's eyes widened, but she heard Ayan calmly say, "Just wait!" After saying that, he turned around and entered the kitchen. After a while, he took out a food box and put it in front of Han Si. Hand over, "diagnosis fee!"

Han Si was stunned for a moment, then he took it hurriedly, lowered his head and said "Thank you." After a moment of silence, he said goodbye again, turned around and walked out of the door, never raising his head again.

Xiao Tan was already stunned, looking at A Yan with eyes full of admiration, "Sister A Yan, you still have an idea, what did you put in the food box for him?"

Ayan said calmly, "A bowl of beef."

Even though Liuli was full of worries, she couldn't help but laugh at this moment.

There was no word all night. Early the next morning, Liuli sent someone to wait for Qu Chongyu at the gate of Xizhou City. He never expected that when the sun went down, there was still no news. At this time, not to mention that Mi Dalang couldn't sit still, Liuli's uneasiness became more and more intense: If Qu Chongyu didn't return to Xizhou for several days at this time, how should the matter be handled?

Finally, we waited until noon on the third day. The boy who was sent to wait at the city gate ran back quickly and said, "The prince is back!"

Liuli quickly stood up, "Have you ever invited him over?"

The boy made a sad face, "Youngster can't get close to the Crown Prince at all. The Crown Prince entered the city with dozens of people wearing armors. Those people were all fierce. Before I even opened my mouth, I was pushed aside. The younger one couldn't help it, so he saw the eldest son next to him lagging behind, so he said a few words to the eldest son, and he responded and would quietly report back to the prince when he had time. "

 Dozens of men in armor? How could she remember that the common soldiers in Xizhou City did not wear armor? Liuli was stunned for a moment and then said, "Have you ever asked, who are those people wearing armor?"

The boy nodded hurriedly, "I asked, and they said they are elite soldiers who have just come down from the military camp. What is the name of the leader... By the way, Su joins the army!"

Ta Du, the specific location is unknown, but it was not the first city massacred by the Tang army in the Western Regions, nor was it the last.
