Chen Tang’s ominous premonition was quickly confirmed.
This is indeed a great demonic wind.
The city walls are dilapidated, the streets are bleak, and the buildings are still burnt with traces of the fire, as if this place is an uninhabited dead city. Chen Tang rode into the city on a motorcycle and saw this scene. After walking for a long time, I finally saw several curled figures nestling in the ruins and scattering something. She turned over and jumped off the motorcycle, stepped forward without hesitation, trying to get close to one of them.
"Master—"
Xun Ding looked at Chen Tang with a nervous expression.
Chen Tang waved his hand to signal him not to be too nervous.
"I''m fine, just take a look."
If there is an existence in the city that can threaten her life, the city will not be destroyed in less than a day. Chen Tang supported his knees with both hands, bent down, and approached the old mother. The weather has not yet completely warmed up now, and the old man is wearing a thin coat. The outer layer of the coat is worn and there are not even the reeds filled inside. The exposed skin has frostbite, some of which are cracked and pus flows out.
"My mother, what are you doing?"
The old mother is old and her ears are not very smart.
Chen Tang asked three times in a row, but the other party did not respond. His body, which was so thin that he was only left with bones, trembled in the cold wind. She raised her hand and took off her outer shirt and covered it on the old man. Only then did the other party notice Chen Tang and turned his head tremblingly.
That was a pair of extremely turbid eyes.
When she looked down and saw the clothes draped on her shoulders, she fell to the ground like a dream, and hid back in fear. Chen Tang then saw clearly what the old man was holding, and it was a little bit of moss. Chen Tang raised his hand and waved Xun Ding back, signaling him to stay away, so as not to scare the big guy like him. Treat the other party''s emotions stable: "My mother, can you ask you about something?"
The old mother said she didn’t know the purpose of Chen Tang coming.
Chen Tang said, "Where have the young and strong in the city gone?"
When siege, Chen Tang carefully discovered that the guards were all old veterans. Although there were military generals guarding the city, they were all white-haired veterans with weak strength, and they were even more young and strong after entering the city. She had a vague answer in her heart, but she didn''t dare to think about it.
The old man''s breath is unstable and his words are blurred.
After careful identification, you can still hear what she said.
She said, "Let''s go...you''re all gone..."
The old mother carefully identified Chen Tang''s clothes with her turbid eyes. Seeing that she was dressed cleanly and decently, she suddenly knelt down on her knees, trying to close the stiff and unstretched knuckles covered with frostbite, and made a big bow, begging Chen Tang for food with tears in her voice. Chen Tang asked Xun Ding to bring the food. The old man was so excited that he wanted to kowtow, but Chen Tang reached out to stop him: "Old man, don''t do this-"
After getting the food, the mother didn''t eat it by herself.
Instead, he rushed to the ruins not far away and waved.
After a while, a thin and dark figure crawled out there and staggered to the old mother. The old mother carefully tore off a small piece and fed it to the child''s mouth. People who saw this scene nearby also gathered to kneel down towards Chen Tang.
They all came to beg for food.
Of course, some people have fierce eyes.
But when he saw the tall and big Xun Ding around Chen Tang, he didn''t dare to act rashly. Chen Tang asked Xun Ding to take all the dry food. At this time, she no longer cared about anything else. A more terrible idea quietly emerged, and it also made her fall into an ice cellar...
This city is probably not as strong as a young man.
Only the elderly and children are left.
After a while, Xu Quan came on a horse and looked unhappy: "Lord, before we arrived, the commander of this place led the young and strong to retreat, and all the food and property in the city were plundered and taken away. Before leaving, a big fire was set up, and more than half of the buildings in the city were burned."
Some families also hide food and can barely live for a few days.
More people are facing a desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food.
The old man next to me was just looking for moss in the corner. But she is old and weak, and what she finds will be better snatched away by her body. When Xu Quan came, he saw someone tearing down the mud on the wall, mixed with reeds and hay, which could satisfy his hunger.
Chen Tang was impacted by the news brought by Xu Quan.
She murmured: "You did it well, you did it well!"
Chen Tang thought that the enemy chose to firmly clear the world to defend themselves and to stop their progress as much as possible. But I don’t know that the other party is doing more ruthlessly. Take away the young and strong, leave the old and the weak, and get rid of ammunition and food in the city. Chen Tang and others came later, are there still living people in this city? She looked at the person who almost stepped forward to grab food and stuffed it into her mouth when she got it, and she didn''t dare to think about it.
"Yong''an, go find your father and arrange someone to build a shed and serve porridge..." Chen Tang was a little regretful at this moment and did not bring Lin Feng out. If she were there, the pressure on food would be much less, but Lin Feng stayed in Sibao County for cotton, so it was difficult to choose.
Xun Ding said: "Lord, our food is also..."
Chen Tang brought a lot of food.
Later, two batches of supplies were received from the rear.
But according to the current situation, there is no enough food.
Chen Tang had no doubts: "Do what you want!"
Xun Ding had to hold his fists and respond: "I will obey the order."
Chen Tang''s actions were not hidden from his three allies.
Tao Yan said, "Our Shen Junzi really did what he said, but I don''t know how many businesses you have that can withstand such waste." There are also many old and weak in the city.
The consumption of these mouths is no less than that of young and strong. Young and strong people can still fight for them after eating food. Feeding them to the elderly and weak is just a waste of water. Tao Yan was clamoring for a moment, hoping that Chen Tang would take out all the food to do such a stupid thing that was unrewarded.
Chen Tang was in a very bad mood.
He looked down on Tao Yan: "Haha, the filial son and grandson have also begun to point fingers at your ancestors'' pockets? Even if I bring your ancestors into the coffin, it is not your turn to take advantage of you. I don''t want your bean sprouts to be kicked again, so I will close your back garden flowers."
Tao Yan stared at Chen Tang with a blue face.
But he did not dare to continue provoking this time.
It would be useless to be beaten by a fool with a brain.
What Chen Tang didn''t expect was that she thought the three allies would watch coldly, but Qian Yong was the first to lend a helping hand. Of course, he did not pay the grain - Qian Yong has been dependent on his classmate Zhang He for many years. Zhang He paid for the grain and paid for the grounding, and he helped the other party fight - basically had a meal, and after eating it, he was worried about the next meal. However, he still has some people on hand.
There is no problem sending someone to fight.
Chen Tang looked at him suspiciously and vigilantly.
Qian Yong grinned and said, "What are you doing so? You are not the only one who is a human being, but the others are animals. But, to say something that is not very pleasant, it is thankless for Shen Jun to do such things and will not get rewards."
Realizing that Qian Yong had no malice, Chen Tang rarely let go of his guard and responded indifferently: "They are rewards when they are alive."
Qian Yong slapped his thigh and sighed, "I really should let Zhang Yongqing come over and see what the living saint looks like."
Chen Tang thought he was sarcastic and didn''t want to pay attention.
Unexpectedly, Qian Yong took the initiative to explain: "I have no malicious words, I praise you, really. Although our relationship is not good, I have to tell the truth that I have no choice but to accept anyone I have never been convinced in my life, I will accept your Chen Youli''s character."
Qian Yong didn''t want to interfere.
But when I saw Chen Tang not only said that he was doing it in real life, he felt that he should do something, and it would be so embarrassing to see.
He can''t take out the food, so he can do it.
At the end, he also wanted to ask Chen Tang a question.
Qian Yong has been holding it in his heart for a long time.
"Does Mr. Shen have no worldly desires?"
This problem is a bit dangerous.
Fortunately, Qian Yong''s words made the topic in a normal direction: "Life for a lifetime, it may be for fame and fortune, for a fragrant car and a BMW, or for a beautiful woman... Shen Jun seems to be too harsh on himself, which is really not like an individual."
Chen Tang was silent for a while.
He said resentfully: "Actually, I love money very much."
Qian Yong thought he had heard the tinnitus wrongly.
"Love money?"
Chen Tang said helplessly: "How come he is the fate of losing money."
Anyone who has such a strange scholar who has a group of abolished lords will be empty. What else can she do besides having few desires? However, her truth fell into Qian Yong''s ears but became a perfunctory excuse. He didn''t take Chen Tang''s answer to heart either.
When Qian Yong left, Chen Tang turned his head and muttered to Gu Chi.
"Why do I feel that Uncle Qian is seducing me?"
This man was deliberately showing goodwill and trying to attract her attention?
Gu Chi selectively ignored it and extracted key information: "He is just making an announcement to the lord, trying to repair the relationship between the two families. Uncle Qian and Zhang Yongqing have a subtle relationship. The two are still in harmony on the surface, but they have frequent conflicts behind their backs. If Zhang Yongqing wants to get rid of Uncle Qian and this burden, wouldn''t he have to find a next house? If the lord can accept him, it would be better..."
Qian Yong wanted his own territory the most and took root in business, but he kicked the iron plate with Chen Tang, who seemed to be soft, and his vitality was greatly damaged. He continued to participate in the Dragon Slaying Bureau to take the opportunity to gain a foothold, but the hope is slim at the moment.
Since you cannot be independent, then continue to be affiliated.
The affiliation of Zhang He is a prostitute, and Chen Tang is also a prostitute.
Even if there is a grudge, as long as Chen Tang''s character can stand the test, it is also a guarantee for Qian Yong. But for others, Qian Yong''s closeness may be a good thing, but Chen Tang does not have much territory and can''t afford to pay extra money to Qian Yong. If she accepts Qian Yong, she will have to pay for the money and grain, which is of low cost performance.
So, Chen Tang thought he didn''t know about this.
But he did not refuse Qian Yong''s show of kindness.
It is always a good thing to have few enemies.
Zhang He did not give Chen Tang too much time to deal with the aftermath. In the war, it is said that a soldier is very fast. Taking advantage of his morale, he will take advantage of his strength to win another battle. But the result is obvious. The offensive destination is playing a familiar scene, with only the old and weak remaining in the city, no young and strong, no food. Zhang He said: "The enemy is sinister and deliberately uses this trick to consume our food and grass."
Specifically—
Only Chen Tang and his family were consumed.
Tao Yan deliberately screamed and said sarcastically: "The fighter cannot be delayed. We should join forces with the leader and others as soon as possible and gather troops to attack Ganzhou. Don''t lose the big one because of small things."
Chen Tang hasn''t slept peacefully these days.
The consequence of insufficient sleep is that you are irritable: "Are you stabbed in the silkworm chamber? You speak sarcastically and get involved in the internal prison. You really can''t tell who is the real **** and who is the fake eunuch. Or are you all real eunuchs?"
Because Tao Yan is often accustomed to being humble, Chen Tang subconsciously feels nauseous when he hears his voice, and takes his eyes away without waiting for the other party to refute.
The more she ignored her, the more annoyed Tao Yan became. When I went back to plan with my wife, my eyes turned and an idea came up.
"Tao Shenyu, this villain, a dog can''t change it and eat shit." When Gu Chi thought that the deaths of his grandfather and father were related to such villains, it was not worth it for the two elders. He was the first to discover the problem, and made a quick decision and ordered the arrest and sent it to Chen Tang.
Chen Tang looked at the two trembling soldiers below.
The soldiers'' outfits are their own.
"Shaoxuan, what''s going on?"
Bai Su, who was named, stepped forward and clasped his fists and replied, "Lord, these two people spread rumors in the camp, shaking the morale of the army!"
Chen Tang was still confused.
Her military governance was not successful, but not a failure.
Now that she has not been defeated, why did her soldiers stab her back? After interrogation, Chen Tang realized the whole story and sneered repeatedly.
This matter is not complicated.
Tao Yan and Shen Tang have a very bad relationship, but there are so many soldiers from the two families, so there will inevitably be some contact. The two soldiers in front of him got some benefits from the soldiers under Tao Yan''s tent. He also heard that Chen Tang was kind-hearted and misappropriated all the military pay that supplied the army to help the elderly and weak. It would be great if it was just a part of it, but the army had less than half a month of remaining food, so this problem would be a big problem.
The two soldiers did not believe it at first.
But I can''t stand the opponent''s money offensive.
If you take advantage of others, you will naturally have to do things for others. It was just a private spread of a plausible news to let everyone know that military pay was misappropriated, and there was no big problem. Moreover, as many people know and spread, they cannot be found.
That''s what they think, with a lucky mentality.
The more Chen Tang heard, his face became colder.
This was the first time that the two soldiers saw Chen Tang at such a close distance. They felt the cold pressure on each other''s body and vaguely felt scared. At the head of the head, Chen Tang asked expressionlessly: "Do you know how harmful this rumor once spreads?"
Shaking morale is still the lightest result.
More serious may even lead to mutiny!
Two soldiers shook their heads with their necks.
In their opinion, this is just a topic of conversation.
How serious can the topic used to pass the time be?
"Do you know this is betrayal? According to military law, it is also a halve?" Chen Tang''s voice suddenly rose, grabbed the thing at hand and smashed it in front of them. His anger made her want to kill Tao Yan''s dog coins regardless of it, "You are seeking death!"
They really don’t know if this is wrong?
I know, but I still did it.
"Shaoxuan, let me deal with it and kill it cleanly."
“Now!”
The two soldiers then panicked and begged for mercy. Bai Su crushed their jaw bones with one hand, and his eyebrows were cold: "Drag them out!"
After the tent was cleaned, Chen Tang rubbed his nose tiredly: "Looking at the tide, fortunately you found it in time this time... I really didn''t expect that Tao Shenyu, a dog, suddenly bite people, and it hurts a lot. Even if I don''t do it for you, I will kill his whole family from top to bottom. The whole family should be reunited and neat!"
Gu Chi advised, "Please calm down your anger, Lord."
Chen Tang waved his hand: "Don''t worry, I''m not angry, I haven''t lost my mind. On the contrary, I''m very awake now and never before. What''s the anger between me and a beast? This kind of insect that jumps up and down is just now jumping around."
Gu Chi: “…”
She said she was not angry, and even told her that she killed the whole family from top to bottom. You should know that the borer who did many evil deeds in Longwu County only killed the bandit leader and let the women and children go.
