Chapter 7 Snow Melting
"Miss Shuiqing, where are you going in the middle of the night?"
The person who spoke was named Zu Mao. He was originally a tooth general in the Hedong Jiedushi Department. He was captured during a battle with the Khitan. Later, he went to Li Shaoqing's younger brother Li Yangjiu to serve. Wくw W√.

"Where do I have to do with the general?" Asami-Qing replied calmly.
"Miss is now a popular person in front of the general. It doesn't matter where you go, but these people have something to do with me. The general has an order, and the safety of Yang Hao's family falls on the second general, and the second general puts this on my head. Miss Shuiqing is going to take them away now, shouldn't I come and ask?"
"What the hell do you want?"
"This war is in chaos, the second general is concerned about the safety of his wives, and he will send a few wives to the camp to stay for a few days in the future." Zu Mao said sarcastically.
"We can take good care of ourselves." After Qing'er said that, she turned around and said to everyone, "Go back to the hospital soon."
"Let's wait!" Zu shouted, and the soldiers immediately blocked Qing'er and others' retreat.
"What do you want to do?!" Asami-Qing shouted sternly.
"What are you doing?" Zu sneered, "Please go back to the camp." The soldiers rushed forward.
"Stop!" Qianshuiqing screamed, pulled out a dagger and pointed it at his throat. Everyone was startled, and Qing'er hurriedly advised, "Sister, don't do this." Xiaoyu hurriedly grabbed the knife, but was stopped by Qianshuiqing.
"Listen!" Asami Kiyoshi pointed at Zumao's face, "Let them go, otherwise I will die in front of you."
Zu Mao was shocked when he heard this. Qianshuiqing is now a big celebrity in front of Li Shaoqing. The general has not seen outsiders for three days for her. This has never happened to the hardworking and diligent general. If Qianshuiqing hurts him because of this, would he still have his life?
"Miss Shuiqing has something to discuss. Put down the knife first and don't hurt yourself."
"Are you scared?" Qianshuiqing sneered and raised her left hand, "Did you see, the jade bracelet given to me by the general. The general promised to marry me. If you force me to death, I'm afraid that a hundred heads will not be enough to cut."
The pair of jade bracelets worn by Qian Shuiqing on her wrist are indeed extremely expensive, but only God knows whether it was given by Li Shaoqing.
"I'll count three times, you will retreat immediately. Otherwise, I will die in front of you immediately." Somehow, there was a cold ghost aura in Qianshuiqing's words. Not only Zumao was frightened, but Qing'er and others also heard that they were just shivering.
"I'll go, I'll go," Zumao said, as he really stepped back.
"Hahaha, why should Miss Shuiqing be angry?" Seeing that the great achievements were about to be completed, suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and the commander of Guiyi Army Li Shaoqing and his younger brother Li Yangjiu rushed over.
Li Shaoqing is 37 or 38 years old and has a strong back and a bear-bearded waist, but his temperament looks gentle and gentle like a scholar. His younger brother Li Yang is in his early thirties, with a wide body and a big beard on his face. At first glance, he looks like he is two years older than Li Shaoqing.
Li Shaoqing strode to Qianshuiqing and snatched the dagger from her hand. For some reason, Qianshuiqing, who was strong in character, seemed extremely docile in front of him.
Li Yangjiu took out a horse whip and gave Zu Mao two whips, scolding him back.
Li Shaoqing looked at Qing'er and others, bowed and bowed and said to his wife. Qing'er and others returned the gifts. Li Shaoqing smiled and asked Qianshuiqing: "I suddenly ran here after dancing halfway through the dance. What's going on?"
Qianshuiqing lowered her head and said, "I have nothing to say until now. Please let them go."
"I can promise you, but you should at least give me a reason." Li Shaoqing spoke in an extremely gentle tone.
"Let them out of the city, I'll follow you." Akashuiqing said calmly.
"This is not a reason." Li Shaoqing shook his head, "Why are you willing to give up your life and save them."
"Their husbands have been kind to me, and I don't want to owe them anything."
"Well," Li Shaoqing nodded, "This is a reason. Okay, I promise you that Elder Fuyuan will take them out of the city."
"Did you see it long ago?" Qianshuiqing was revealed by Li Shaoqing's words, both shocked and embarrassed.
"What can I hide from my elder brother in this world? You asked Elder Fuyuan to enter the city as soon as you tricked me, and I guessed what you thought, just now I deliberately let you go."
After hearing this, Qianshuiqing couldn't help but sighed slightly, turned around and knelt in front of Qing'er and said, "Sister, take care of yourself in the future." Qing'er was already crying when she grabbed her hand.
Zu was whipped by Li Yangjiu, but after only a moment, he forgot the pain. He stepped forward and asked Li Yangjiu secretly: "The general has released the person, how can he explain to Zeng Chongyang in the future?"
"Zeng Chongyang is nothing!" Li Yangjiu spat on the ground disdainfully.
—————
Wu Bohan, the commander of the First Police Battalion, was Liu Yifeng's distant expression. He relied on this relationship to become a deputy guard in the former Feng'an governor's mansion. After Liu Yifeng fell, he turned to Li Tong's sect. Li Tong was born in the army and looked down on such a person who was promoted to the rank of nepotism. Wu Bohan was very unsatisfied in the Tiande Right Army. When Yang Hao was reorganized, Wu Bohan took Zhuang Yunqing's path and became the commander of the First Police Battalion, which was reorganized from the old subordinates of Jiuniang Pass. From then on, Wu Bohan was regarded as Zhuang Yunqing's person.
Zeng Chongyang also had this view. Given that Zhuang Yunqing was Han Sui's favorite general and Han Sui had always been very harmonious with him, Zeng Chongyang naturally regarded Wu Bohan as his own. During the vigorous purging movement of the various troops in Fengzhou, the police battalion became a paradise. When the other battalions were busy exposing each other, arresting and killing the remnants of the royal party, the soldiers of the police battalion were busy digging the mines of Wang Moshan.
Wang Moshan is a businessman after all, and one of the principles of businessmen in life is to never go against those in power, and never get too close to those in power. It is precisely because of this that Wang Moshan's mine was not affected by Yang Hao's sudden collapse. Zeng Chongyang looked down on businessmen like Wang Moshan from the bottom of his bones, so he disagreed with his transformation. When Wang Moshan brought a generous gift to ask Wang Moshan to change his name for his coal mine, Zeng Chongyang was too lazy to see him.
Unlike Zeng Chongyang's indifferent and contemptuous attitude, Zhuang Yunqing seemed very attentive to the coal mine in the south of the city. Whenever he had free time, he would take relevant officials from Feng'an County to cross the river to see it. He said a few words of encouragement and then returned drunk. Zeng Chongyang knew about this and sent someone to investigate it secretly, and there was nothing to doubt.
The continuous rain and snow after winter stopped the coal mine project temporarily. A large number of workers stayed on the construction site and did nothing. Young people were very moved. Groups of miners often crossed the river to the city for fun. The miners had heavy workloads, but their income was not low. They entered the city to eat, drink and have fun, and the owners of the tavern, inn, roosters, and casinos were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.
Although Zeng Chongyang had strict orders not to stay overnight in the city, there were policies and countermeasures at the top. The bosses of the tavern and casino racked their brains to keep people. As long as the county magistrates who were familiar with the local situation turned a blind eye, those who came from other places could not manage it even if they wanted to.
Zhu Xiangnan, a county magistrate who has always been serious about his work and strict law enforcement, ignored this matter. As long as the miners stayed in the city did not kill or set fire, the county government's constables only regarded it as if they had not seen it.
——————————
After a heavy snow, a mine was crushed by snow and two sheds, and hundreds of workers had nowhere to live. Wang Moshan asked Wu Bohan for help. Wu Bohan reported that Zhuang Yunqing asked several barracks for the workers to live in, and the soldiers who had vacant were moved back to the camp in the south of the city.
One day, a team of soldiers from the First Battalion of Police were suddenly stopped by the Guiyi Army patrol team when they passed through the south gate of Feng'an. Guiyi Army insisted that everyone had bad intentions to enter the city and wanted to take them back to the camp for interrogation. The soldiers of the First Battalion of Police refused to disarm, and the two sides immediately clashed. The number of police officers in the First Battalion of Police was small, and they suffered a loss as soon as they tried.
The police battalion had two posts of troops stationed in the camp in the south of the city. At this time, they were placing the barracks for a group of people who had moved back from Henan. Suddenly, the team of troops and the Tadaren fought at the south gate and suffered a loss. The sentry captain on duty immediately gathered troops to rush to reinforce. The two posts of troops and the original patrol team of more than 200 people were defeated.
The inspection team, who suffered a loss, immediately sent people to report to the Guiyi Army's commander in the south of the city. When the city commander was furious, he immediately sent 300 people to reinforce. The soldiers of the first battalion of police retreated to the Tiedang Camp in the west of the city when they saw that the situation was not good. The Tiedang Camp was the foundation of the original Tiande Right Army, and its combat effectiveness was far above the First Battalion of Police. Unfortunately, the main force was stationed at Jiuniang Pass, and there were only two teams of people in the camp.
When the whistleman Lin Ying opened the camp gate and let the police battalion come in to hide, then ordered the archers to guard the camp gate and gave the order to die. Who dared to shoot immediately through the dismounting stake?
—————
When Zeng Chongyang learned about the change in the south of the city, Lin Ying had shot and killed the Guiyi army's guarding the city south of the city. Mo Xiexin was the beloved general of Li Shaoqing's younger brother Li Yangjiu, and a powerful general of the Guiyi army. He looked down on the soldiers of the first battalion of police officers who were hiding in the Tiedang Camp. So when the gatekeeper of the Tiedang Camp warned him to shoot arrows again, Mo Xiexin didn't care at all. He rode the black "Iron Kirin" all over the horse stake and walked proudly past the horse stake. The archers who had already arched their arrows behind the camp gate suddenly had thousands of arrows. Mo Xiexin and his "Iron Kirin" were shot like hedgehogs.
In shock, Tada people fled in scattered and no one dared to take Mo Xiexin's body.
"Rebel, go back. Go and catch me that ignorant whistle leader." Zeng Chongyang beat the table and shouted at Zhu Qida.
"Yes." Zhu Qi strode out with a dark face.
"Bang!" The gate of the imperial envoy's office was kicked open, and dozens of Tada soldiers rushed in with scimitars.
"Doway! Dodge!" Tadaren rushed in with a human corpse and a horse corpse. Both corpses were filled with feather arrows.
"If you dare to trek into the Imperial Office, you will be killed without any reservation." Zhu Qi stopped shouting, and dozens of guards in Jinyi rushed out of the ear rooms on both sides to surround the Tadaren. At the same time, the gate of the office was also closed.
"Let's go!" Zeng Chongyang stopped shouting and hurriedly came out of the lobby.
"Dear brothers and good friends, don't be impatient." Zeng Chongyang smiled and bent down to the soldiers of Guiyi.
"You can still laugh when our general died unjustly. It's worse than a beast." Someone screamed.
"Dare to insult the imperial envoy, take it down!" Zhu Qi shouted, and the guards in the Jinyi clothes rushed to the general and insulted Zeng Chongyang's Guiyi soldiers and pressed them to the ground.
"Random!" Zeng Chongyang blushed and shouted loudly. He rushed forward in three steps and pushed away the Jinyi Guard and helped up the Dada soldiers with a gray face. The soldiers did not expect that the Jinyi Guards would take action so quickly and so cruelly, and their hearts were still pounding. When they saw Zeng Chongyang, they couldn't speak.
Zeng Chongyang kept apologizing while slapping the dust on his body.
"Stop pretending! I ask you, what are you going to do if you kill our general?"
"Ah, this hall will definitely punish the murderer and give you an explanation to all good brothers."
"Stop talking about official voice. The general's body is here. You kneel down and kowtow three times to him."
"If you want to make it, the dead are the most important. Zeng should do this." Zeng Chongyang bent down and was about to kneel down. Zhu Qiqi supported him in the last gust and whispered: "Mr. Zeng, don't you kneel down or not."
"Hmph, what do you know!" Zeng Chongyang shook Zhu Qi's hand fiercely, "The Venerable also mourns the dead." Zhu Qiwen retracted his hand sadly as if he was stabbed by a needle when he heard this.
Zeng Chongyang knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Mo Xiexin's body. He was about to get up but was stopped by Tadaren: "'Iron Qilin' is as close as a brother to the general, so you kowtow three times to it."
