The night is hazy and the sound of insects is gradually getting dense.

Chen An and Su Shi slowly walked towards the periphery, and Shehui's annoyed shouts came from his ears.

"Who sewed it? The thread was leaked, who did it? Come out, I want to kill him!"

A gap almost killed Su Shi. Chen An felt a fire in his heart, but at this moment it was particularly quiet.

He was thinking about Su Shi's problem.

You are committed to the Northern Expedition and are committed to innovating the Song Dynasty...

You are fighting hard, you are struggling, but...for what?

Chen An doesn't know.

Su Shi looked at him and asked, "What are you doing? Countless high-ranking officials and powerful people didn't care about this matter. The Song Dynasty could live for hundreds of years. The Liao Kingdom was afraid, the Western Xia was afraid, and Jiaozhi was afraid... But you are still fighting hard."

Chen An looked up slightly at the night sky, a little confused.

What am I for?

"... Look, Han Qi and the others are all lazy. They feel that they have enough, and they feel that Da Song has escaped the crisis..."

yes!

Jiaozhi was scared, and Xixia stopped temporarily, Yelu Hongji vomited blood...

Farmers increase their income and finance alleviate their finances... This Song Dynasty gradually became rich.

Satisfied?

Chen An doesn't know.

"It's done! Next time, sew the cloth bag tighter and ensure you can fly all the way to the imperial city!"

"Statistics master, this thing... is a taboo! If you see our thing in the imperial city, you may be killing people."

"There is a crossbow in the imperial city! One shot..."

“…”

"What are you afraid of? This is a good thing. With this thing, you can... in the future, you can... go up to see the distance? You can find others at a high place. If you use it on the battlefield, it will be of great benefit."

"The Song Dynasty is not afraid of foreign enemies, right?"

"How do you know that you are not afraid? Several victories are not big wars. Someone heard that... If it is a battle of sacrificing the country, the effect of gunpowder and tinder oil will not be too great... The Divine Power Crossbow cannot win, and what you need is the ambition to dare to fight."

"The soldiers of the Song Dynasty... are hard to say!"

"But I'm not afraid, at least I'm not afraid."

"Yes, I used to be afraid to die, but now I'm not afraid."

“…”

Chen An got on his horse and said to Su Shi, "I'll go back first, let's get together again when I look back."

There was a gap left at the city gate tonight, and several eunuchs were waiting. When they saw Chen An coming, they asked, "Duke Chen County, how about it?"

Chen An smiled and said, "Relieve the official family."

Some people turned around and ran towards the imperial city, while others were flattering and praising each other.

"The official family is still paying attention to this place when it's so late. It shows that the importance he attaches to Chen County Duke is envious!"

“…”

The city of Bianliang is particularly prosperous at night, and the hawking sounds are endless.

Chen An walked slowly along the way. When he was about to get home, he felt a little hungry.

There are three Taoist temples and temples on the right. Taoist temples and temples are in the same place, which is harmonious.

Dim oil lamps, simple stalls, steaming hot air...

The old man who set up a stall looked up and smiled at Chen An. His yellow and black teeth looked disgusting.

"Guest, the soup made with good mutton, the good aged vinegar... The Chenxian Gong said that the soup cakes should have three good things, the good soup, the good aged vinegar, and the good hot sauce... There are some here..."

Under the dim light, Chen An got off his horse and said, "Come..."

He turned around and looked at Wen Xiaozhong, "Come two bowls."

"A bowl." Wen Xiaozhong refused, but thought of the refusal a little stiff, so he explained: "Langjun, it will be very hard to practice knife the next day when you have lunch, and it will be easy to get tired."

"Aren't you easy to get fat?" Chen An was very proud now. Because he was young, he would not get fat if he ate much.

What a comfortable age!

"Okay." The old man glanced at Wen Xiaochong and muttered with regret: "I can eat two bowls of this!"

"Axiang...Axiang, I've cooked soup cakes!"

Something moved on the edge of the chopping board, and Chen An found an old woman lying there.

The old woman was dozing, looked up at Chen An in a daze, and muttered, "I was thinking about the boss... If the boss is alive, we should have grandchildren."

this……

Chen An was very embarrassed, and the old man felt something was wrong, so he shouted: "How many people look like that? This is a noble person!"

Even though Chen An was wearing simple clothes, the fabric was not simple. The old man could tell at a glance that his eyesight was really good.

The soup cakes were going to be hot, so the old man squatted beside him and made the fire. The old woman put the soup cakes down, and then brought it to a large steaming bowl.

While idle, the old woman lay down and napped, and the old man sat next to him in a daze.

It was very quiet, with only the sound of Chen An sucking the soup cake, which seemed particularly loud.

It's very embarrassing!

Chen An looked up, and the old woman looked up, looking at him gently.

"It's really like it."

Her voice was gentle, like a mother.

"Not like!" the old man suddenly lost his temper and said, "You sleep with yours, and mutter again, don't come out tomorrow."

The old woman lowered her head, Chen An couldn't bear it, and smiled and said, "Look, it's okay. That... Old man, you heard that your accent is from the north, why did you come to Bianliang?"

The old man sighed and said, "Someone's eldest son... he was a farmer in the north."

In the north, that is, farming under the noses of the Liao people, which is the so-called use of water instead of soldiers and using paddy fields to resist possible invasions of the Liao people.

The old man said slowly: "The Liao people are cruel. If we farm, they will kill people..."

"Dying Caogu... is killing people." Something was flashing in the old man's eyes, shiny.

"The above said that farming can resist the Liao people, so let's plant it, but the Liao people were unwilling to give up. They crossed the border and came to kill people, saying that they were trying to kill grass valleys, hey!"

The old man wiped his eyes and smiled, "Actually, he is here to kill people. The court hopes that we can farm in the land can block the Liao people..."

Chen An ate a bite of the soup cake, but couldn't feel any taste.

He remembered all kinds of absurdities in the Song Dynasty.

Before this, the Song Dynasty was afraid that the Liao people would have reached an incredible situation. They were engaged in farmland transformation in the north, and most of them turned into paddy fields... The monarchs and ministers all hoped that these paddy fields could trap the Liao army's war horses...

They diverted the Yellow River, hoping that the Yellow River would be far away from the north so that the Liao people would not take boats to the city of Bianliang.

The old man looked up and sighed: "Yes... shouldn't it be the army's business? Why did we go..."

Yes! The warriors had no eggs and civil officials had no courage, so the shameless Song Dynasty pushed the people to the forefront of confrontation with the Liao people.

"That year...the Liao people came again."

"We are all happy when the crops in the fields are about to be harvested. They all say that after paying taxes, we can be more relaxed this year."

"It's so dark, the sound of horse hooves makes people feel weak..."

"Escape!"

"I took my family to run south..."

"The boss was separated while running, and later the Liao army chased after him and slashed all the way..." The old man's body trembled slightly, "Whenever he thought of this, it seemed like there was blood in front of someone's eyes. No one dared to resist those people."

"I hid in the pool with my family, watching more than 100 people being surrounded by the Liao people... No one dared to resist. Those people threw away the kitchen knives and sticks in their hands and knelt down."

Chen An thought of a movie he had watched in his previous life...

The Japanese pirates rushed into Jinling City and burned and killed them everywhere.

When the Japanese pirates discovered a solid building, they felt that there must be an ambush here, so they carefully touched it.

But when they opened the door, there were people inside.

The people were trembling, but they didn't dare to make a sound. After seeing these beasts holding rifles, no one needed to teach them, from the elderly to the children, from men to women, they slowly raised their hands...

Then...the blood is everywhere.

Chen An ate a bite of the soup cake and felt that his chest was full and there was some tricks.

"Isn't it delicious?" The old man was a little surprised when he saw that he was having difficulty eating.
