The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 873
[Chapter 873 The Angry Prefect of Qiuning]
When the Prefect of Qiuning saw the content of this letter, he was almost furious and his whole body was trembling.
For a moment, I couldn’t say a word!
The people nearby were a little curious when they saw this scene.
At the same time, I was a little uneasy.
Judging from the expression on the prefect’s face, it was obvious that the content in this letter would not be good news
. After a while, someone finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and asked, “Sir, what is the content in this letter?”
Prefect Qiuning heard the voice. , just recovered from that state, raised his eyes and glanced at that person.
He sighed, handed the letter to him, and said leisurely: “Read it yourself.”
Seeing this scene, the man became more curious and uneasy, and he hurriedly reached out and took the letter.
After looking at it carefully from top to bottom, his expression changed instantly.
First angry, then more angry, and finally furious.
“How unreasonable! How unreasonable! Those barbarians are simply beasts! They are inferior to beasts! Heaven and earth are angry together, heaven and earth are angry together!”
When everyone heard this, their expressions also changed.
Obviously, judging from the performance of these two Shangguan, it goes without saying that they can also guess something.
They have seen this kind of thing too many times in the four northern states for so many years.
It’s nothing more than setting fire to the village and using the people as a shield.
Sometimes, after seeing too much, we become numb.
However, at this moment, seeing the original tragedy reenacted, it was obvious that they were still angry.
The most angry person was naturally the prefect of Qiuning.
Being willing to come to a desolate place like the four northern states and still stick to it for so many years is more or less a matter of faith.
The prefect of Qiuning is the parents of the people in the same prefecture.
Seeing Qi Yan Gong’s almost crazy behavior, it was natural that he behaved like this.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions.
After a while, he exhaled, looked at the people beside him, and said slowly: “Prepare your horses, I am going to see General Meng!”
“Yes, sir!”
The person next to him naturally responded.
Qiuning Fucheng is not considered big if it is said to be big, but it is not considered small if it is said to be small.
From the east of the city to the west of the city, it would take about two or three sticks of incense to walk.
Of course, if you’re riding a horse, it’s just a blink of an eye.
Because it had been planned in advance, Qiuning Fucheng still maintained its original order even with so many people.
Not too confusing.
The soldiers of Qiuning Town were scattered at various city gates, guarding this most critical position.
Among them, the North Gate is the most important gate.
This is directly facing Qiyanxiong’s main camp.
If Qi Yanxiong launches an attack, this is the first place to be attacked and the place that will be attacked the most.
Therefore, the important general Qiuning Hou naturally stayed here.
Inside the tent.
Qiuning Hou Mengzhuang was looking at the map and drinking wine.
In such a remote and bitter cold place, only wine can alleviate the loneliness a little bit.
Only wine can make people forget the pain. Although it is only temporary, it is also precious.
Therefore, the generals of all important towns have the habit of drinking.
If a battle is won, even ordinary soldiers will be rewarded with wine.
The glass of wine was bottomed out.
Meng Zhuang was about to ask the guard to pour wine when he heard a sound.
“General, I would like to see the prefect of Qiuning.”
The four northern states are a very special existence in Dachu.
According to common sense, the person with the highest status in the state capital is naturally the prefect or the Jiedushi.
However, this is not the case in the four northern states.
The one with the highest status is the general of the important town.
Not to mention the status of the important town generals themselves, their noble status is enough to suppress these prefects.
Therefore, the guard used the word ‘seeking’!
“Exactly.”
Meng Zhuang doesn’t like to talk nonsense, and his language is extremely concise, just one word.
“Yes, General!”
The same was true for his bodyguards, who acted without any sloppiness.
In just a moment, Prefect Qiuning was brought to Meng Zhuang’s tent.
“General, I have come to the prison this time to ask for something.”
Qiu Ning, the prefect, stood upright and bowed before saying.
Meng Zhuang’s eyes never left the map on the table, and upon hearing these words, his expression and movements did not change at all.
He just said one word lightly: “Say.”
There were no unnecessary words.
It was not the first time that the prefect of Qiuning and Meng Zhuang had met, but what kind of person this General Meng was.
Therefore, knowing that a word ‘say’ at this moment is not contempt.
He hesitated for a moment and then said: “I want to ask the general to borrow someone.”
Perhaps because he had gotten along with Meng Zhuang, this scholar’s habit of nagging disappeared when he arrived at the prefecture of Qiuning.
The purpose of the visit was explained directly, without all the roundabout talking, and without all the nonsense of the literati.
After hearing this, Meng Zhuang raised his eyes, glanced at him, and asked with a solemn expression, “What’s the matter?”
“Save people!”
Magistrate Qiuning said these words forcefully, and his eyes did not dodge at all.
“Who to save?”
Meng Zhuang asked again.
“People.”
Prefect Qiuning’s expression did not change.
After Meng Zhuang heard this, he felt a little funny and his expression changed.
Can’t tell whether it was ridicule, ridicule or some other emotion.
He said: “Twenty thousand people from the Qiyan tribe have surrounded this place. What is more important than protecting the people here?
Five hundred people can do many things, but very little.
Save one common person. It’s enough, it’s too difficult to save the people in the four northern states!”
These words are simple, but the meaning is very clear.
Let’s not talk about whether these five hundred people can leave Qiuning Fucheng.
Even if they leave, how useful can these five hundred people be?
It’s better to stay in Qiuning Fucheng and don’t go out and be treated like a dish!
The prefect of Qiuning naturally understood what Meng Zhuang meant.
After thinking about it, he took out the letter from his arms, stepped forward, handed it to Meng Zhuang, and said, “General, please read it.”
“There is no need to read it. I know, this is nothing more than a beggar’s bow.” What that little thief did in Anzhou Mansion?”
When Meng Zhuang said this, his expression did not change at all, but there was a cold light in his eyes.
When the prefect of Qiuning saw this scene, he didn’t know what to say for a moment.
He said: “Since the general knows, how can he remain indifferent? The people of Qiuning Prefecture are the people of Dachu, and the people of Anzhou Prefecture are also the people of Dachu.
Anzhou Prefecture is too far away from those villages. When Anzhou Prefecture gets the news, , I’m afraid it’s already too late!
And we in Qiuning City only need to send 500 people to rescue the people and save them from the fire and water.
Although the wolf cavalry of the Qiyan tribe is powerful, there are only 200 people. General “
As the prefect of Qiuning was speaking, Meng Zhuang’s words left him speechless.
“How do you know this general didn’t send anyone?”
