Chapter 372 Everyone Must Die
The early autumn mountain breeze blew in from afar, brushing across the hills, and shaking the treetops, making a rustling sound.
"Does your words still count now?"
Faced with this question, Youjia could not give a negative answer no matter what.
"Your Majesty, Longque's mind has never changed."
Looking up into Ning Yongnian's eyes, You Jia tried to make her tone sound calmer: "I will always be a member of the Dragon Guards, and I will always be the emperor's man."
"Really?"
Shaking his head gently, Ning Yongnian let go of his hand, turned around and looked at Fengxian County below.
"In my eyes, you are just Youjia, not Longque."
"In the future, you will still be my concubine."
“.”
You are just Youjia, and you will be my concubine in the future.
These two sentences made Youjia's heart tremble for no reason.
But before she could say anything else, Ning Yongnian had already retracted his gaze and walked down the mountain.
"Let's go down the mountain."
“.”
Wonju City.
Like Feng County, since the Dafeng Army retreated to Yuanzhou City, this place has also been freed from the war, and now everything in the city is gradually returning to normal.
After all, for most of the people in the city, it doesn’t matter whether the flags on the city walls are embroidered with “Ning” or “Feng”, as long as they can preserve their lives in this chaotic world.
So even though Dafeng’s 500,000 troops are now stationed in the city, there have been only a few “military-civilian conflicts” in the past month or so.
Under such circumstances, the Dafeng Army's control over Fengyuan City was not as strict as it was at the beginning, and even the curfew was lifted a few days ago.
Several night markets reopened, and Fengyuan city became lively again at night.
Common people took to the streets one after another, and were no longer afraid even when they met Dafeng soldiers in armor. Some would chat with them, and those who were familiar with them even started doing business with the army.
These transactions involve a wide range of content.
For example, fresh fruits and vegetables, prostitutes, coolie laborers, and intelligence.
“.”
"Brother Wang, what's new recently?"
In a private room of a teahouse, a man in ordinary clothes poured a cup of tea for the soldier sitting opposite him with a flattering smile on his face.
This person was none other than Li Si, the Shuzhou soldier whom Wei Changtian met when he first arrived in Yuanzhou City.
The two of them were destined to meet, and Li Si was smart and cautious in his actions, so Wei Changtian made an exception and promoted him to the head of the Freemasonry's Yuanzhou City branch before leaving Yuanzhou, and left a lot of "working funds".
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk.
Although he knew that it was not easy to be the hall master, Li Si, who had been mediocre all his life, finally gritted his teeth and agreed to the job. From then on, he officially became a "senior" at the level of hall master of the Freemasonry and had the power to communicate directly with Chu Xianping.
But compared with other hall masters, he is basically a lone commander at the moment.
In more than a month, only less than ten gang members were developed, and now most things need to be done by himself. From this perspective, Li Si is indeed not as good as Wang Er and Zhang San. Perhaps he is more suitable to be an executor rather than a leader.
"Brother Wang, this is just a small amount of money for tea. It's not a courtesy."
He pushed the teacup in front of the soldier, along with a small purse.
Li Si's face was still full of flattery, and the soldier in plain clothes opposite him also smiled the moment he saw the money bag.
"Well, Brother Li, you're too polite."
The soldier calmly put the money bag into his sleeve, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "Listen carefully, there may be something big happening in the army in the next few days."
"oh?"
Li Si's eyes lit up, and he quickly stuffed another fifty-liang silver note over: "I don't know what the big deal is. If it's not a military secret, I'll tell Brother Wang about it."
"My business is all in Yuanzhou City, so it's better to prepare in advance, right?"
“.”
Military intelligence is of course confidential, and saying “all business is in Yuanzhou City” is the lameest excuse.
The soldiers naturally understood this, but as long as there was enough silver, these would not be a problem.
"Brother Li, just keep this to yourself and don't tell anyone else."
The soldier happily accepted the banknote, glanced around, and then whispered in Li Si's ear: "It won't be long before there will be no more Dafeng soldiers in Yuanzhou City."
"this"
There is no doubt that such information is absolutely shocking.
Li Si calmed down his slightly rapid breathing and asked hurriedly, "Brother Wang, are we going to start a war again?"
"No."
The soldier smiled and shook his head: "We are not going west, but back east."
Back east.
The meaning of these three words is very clear.
"withdraw troops?"
Li Si's eyes suddenly widened: "Da, Dafeng is going to withdraw its troops?"
“Hahaha, just maybe.”
Reaching out and patting Li Si on the shoulder, Jun Han stood up with a smile and said, "Brother Li, I have said everything I need to say. If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the last time we meet."
"There are still important matters in the army, so I will leave first, brother."
"I wish your business in Yuanzhou City will get better and better."
"Goodbye."
Having said what needed to be said, the soldier didn't waste any more time and quickly hurried out of the teahouse and disappeared into the night.
Li Si sat in the private room for a while, but still couldn't figure out why Dafeng suddenly wanted to withdraw its troops.
Although the fighting in Wonju has been stopped for a month, it seems that Dafeng still has the upper hand.
Even if we don't want to fight anymore due to some changes, we shouldn't give up Yuanzhou City so easily after we have already taken it.
At the beginning, the 500,000-man army crossed the border with great momentum, vowing to retake Yuan and Xizhou. Why did the war just begin and end so hastily? Could it be that the courts of both sides have already reached an agreement? Li Si was puzzled and finally stopped thinking about it. After paying for tea, he prepared to go back and send a message to Chu Xianping.
No matter what, getting this kind of information is a great achievement.
I took so much money from Master Wei, and now I have finally done something useful, so it is not in vain that I am the head of the hall . While thinking about all sorts of things, he walked quickly along the wall towards his residence.
Although there was no curfew in Yuanzhou City, there were not many pedestrians on the streets after dark, so Li Si's figure, which almost blended into the night, looked a little lonely.
Turn around a corner and enter an alley called "Shimo".
Shimo Lane is only a few miles away from the west city wall. Most of the residents have fled, and now there are only four or five families living there, including Li Si.
An alley like this is already sparsely populated, and even fewer people would walk in it so late at night.
However, tonight Li Si rarely ran into a few men wearing bamboo hats.
A group of five people came towards us, their faces hidden behind veils so their appearance could not be seen clearly.
There are undoubtedly many suspicious points about such a group of people, but it is not uncommon in Yuanzhou City today.
Adhering to the principle of "avoiding unnecessary trouble", Li Si certainly would not do anything rash. He lowered his head slightly and quickened his pace.
The five people on the opposite side seemed to have the same mentality.
Soon, the two sides passed each other in the narrow alley, and then continued walking forward.
"call"
Hearing the footsteps behind him getting farther and farther away, Li Si finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little confused.
Just now, he actually exchanged glances with the other party's leader.
And it was this one glance that made him feel as if he was in a trance for a moment.
Was it an illusion? Resisting the urge to look back, Li Si shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
At this time, the five people behind him slowly released the daggers hidden in their sleeves.
"Sir, that man must be a military man."
"Let him go, there's no need to cause any more trouble."
The cold voice paused for a moment, then sounded again with infinite indifference.
"Anyway, everyone will die in three days."
