Chapter 27 Entering the City
When Nangong Jinse heard this, she just smiled miserably and did not have too many expressions. After all, the general's mansion was so cold that she had already understood the dislike of grandmother. Everyone seemed a little surprised when they heard this answer. It was clearly the old lady who wanted Nangong Jinse's life.
Looking at the man in black who was covering his hands in pain on the ground, Hao Lianxuan winked Yuan Ming. Yuan Ming knew that he had the heart to drag the man in black out. The man in black didn't struggle. He offended someone he shouldn't offend, and he had no hope of going back alive.
Hao Lianli: "Ahem, that's late at night, I will go back and rest first."
Feng Qing: "I went out to watch the soldiers shovel the snow."
In the end, only Nangong Jinse and Hao Lianxuan were left. Nangong Jinse looked at Hao Lianxuan and was puzzled. Why didn’t he leave?
"I told you that if you are not cruel, others will lick your blood and watch you struggle in pain." Hao Lianxuan said lightly.
"I understand all this." Nangong Jinse said calmly.
Nangong Jinse: "You saved me today. If you have any requests, just say it. I will do my best to fulfill your request."
Hao Lianxuan: "I am willing to help you, and I don't need your reward."
Nangong Jinse said stubbornly: "I don't like to owe others favors, tell me."
Looking at Nangong Jinse's expression, Hao Lianxuan said lightly: "Then tell me what you were going to Prince Jing's Mansion that day?"
Hearing this, Nangong Jinse smiled helplessly and said, "I went to Prince Jing's mansion that day because I owe Prince Jing's favor, I just went to repay the favor."
Hao Lianxuan said unhappily: "Why do you like to owe favors everywhere?"
Nangong Jinse said lightly: "I don't want this either."
"Then do you remember that you agreed to a request in the snow that day?"
"Remember, what are the requirements?"
"My request is that you will not owe any favors to anyone except me in the future."
Nangong Jinse was a little embarrassed when she heard this. Who would have said this kind of thing accurately? Just like the last time Hao Lianjing saved her, but this time Hao Lianxuan saved her. She never thought about wanting these two people to save her, but these two people saved her. I can't even owe her.
Seeing that Nangong Jinse didn't say anything, Hao Lianxuan asked, "What? Can't you do it?"
Nangong Jinse nodded and said, "This is indeed difficult. Even if I think I don't do this, I can't avoid accidents, just like I never thought you would come today."
"Or how about you change someone else?"
Hao Lianxuan said stubbornly: "No, just this request."
Nangong Jinse said helplessly: "But I can't do it!"
"You must do it." Hao Lianxuan insisted.
Seeing Hao Lianxuan persisting like this, Nangong Jinse thought about it and had to agree: "Okay, I promise you."
Suddenly the two fell into silence. Hao Lianxuan stood aside, and Nangong Jinse sat on the edge of the bed. In fact, Nangong Jinse never thought that this scene would happen, nor that she and Hao Lianxuan would get along in such harmony.
Hao Lianxuan said seriously: "If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me at any time, and I will help you unconditionally."
Hearing this, Nangong Jinse looked at Hao Lianxuan quietly, feeling moved for a moment, but it was only a moment, and there was no longer much stop.
"Then you have a good rest, I'll go back to my camp." After saying that, Hao Lianxuan walked out.
Nangong Jinse was the only one left in the camp. Nangong Jinse was lying on the bed and wondering, why did her grandmother suddenly have the intention to kill herself? Or did she have this idea since I went back?
Since they didn't want the general's mansion to be peaceful, there was no need to hesitate any more. As they thought about it, Nangong Jinse fell asleep quietly.
At dawn, the road to the gate had already been opened. Nangong Jinse, Hao Lianxuan and Hao Lianli all came to the city gate. They found that there seemed to be a sound of shoveling snow inside the city gate. It seemed that the garrison of the Mingcheng was also trying to find a way out.
Nangong Jinse: "Feng Qing, go smash the door and see if the people inside can hear it?"
Feng Qing came to the door and smashed them hard. In the city, the garrison who was shoveling snow not far away heard someone smashing the door, and thought it was because he was hallucinating it. Then he heard carefully that someone was knocking on the door.
A garrison moved forward in the snow half a man high and finally came to the gate.
Liu Shun: "Who is it? Who is smashing the door?"
Hearing the response inside, Feng Qing replied: "We are the rescue army from the imperial capital. We have arrived at the door, but the door can't be pushed open."
Liu Shun was obviously very excited to hear this because they were saved.
Liu Shun: "The door was frozen, so it couldn't be pushed open."
Feng Qing looked at Nangong Jinse and said, "What should I do if my lady?"
Nangong Jinse: "Ask them how many people can use it, the most important thing is to open the door first."
Feng Qing: "How many people in your city can move, open the door first."
Liu Shun: "It's just a few people, but almost all the houses in the city collapsed and were buried in the snow. We couldn't find the tools. We finally found a few shovels."
Hao Lianxuan: "Call those people to come to the door and shovel the snow at the door first."
Feng Qing: "Then you come to the door first to shovel the snow at the door, and our soldiers will be able to get through it."
Liu Shun: "The door here is frozen with a thick layer of ice, like a copper wall and iron wall, there is nothing we can do about it."
Hearing this, Nangong Jinse took a few steps back and looked at the tall city tower, which was full of ice. Not to mention that there were no ropes, it would be difficult to climb up even if there were. Besides, the door to the city tower inside must have been blocked.
Hao Lianxuan looked at Nangong Jinse and understood what she wanted to do, but it was obvious that it wouldn't work.
Hao Lianli: "Then you have to wait for the snow to melt."
Nangong Jinse: "Fengqing, let them shovel the snow at the city gate first, at least to open the city gate and enter the distance of one person."
Feng Qing shouted into it again: "You shovel the snow at the door first, we have our own way to come in."
When Liu Shun heard this, he was happy and called several others to come and start shoveling the snow.
Hao Lianxuan: "Jinse, what do you want to do?"
Nangong Jinse: "Just let the ice melt."
"Fengyang, Fengqing, you bring some people to get some firewood and oil."
The two nodded and quickly went to the tent to get it.
Nangong Jinse: "The firewood is all piled up on the city gate."
After everything is ready, I will wait for the people inside, but this wait will take two hours. After all, there are few people inside and thick snow.
Liu Shun was already exhausted and sweating profusely, but fortunately, the snow had been shoveled off, enough to open the city gate.
Liu Shun shouted weakly: "It's OK."
Feng Qing: "Miss, it's OK."
Nangong Jinse: "Pour some oil on the firewood and start burning."
As the flames slowly grew, the door began to become hot, and a thick layer of ice began to melt slowly. Liu Shun and others were all excited when they saw this.
In the afternoon, the ice on the door was finally melting, and the firewood was added several times during this period. You can imagine how thick the ice was.
The last layer of ice on the door broke due to the gravity of the door, and a gap appeared in the door.
Seeing this, Feng Qing and his friends picked up the fire with their swords and pushed the heavy door hard. With the "creaking" sound, Liu Shun slowly opened, and when the city gate opened, he saw a beautiful woman as beautiful as a fairy.
Liu Shun and others walked out of the city gate and looked at everyone coming here.
Yuan Ming: "Who did you sign up?"
Liu Shun said respectfully: "Liu Shun is the garrison here. How many of them are?"
Liu Shun said as he looked at the three people standing in front.
Yuan Ming: "This is King Li, this is King Xuan, and this is General."
General? Female? Still so beautiful! But before, I seemed to have heard that the Tiansheng Dynasty had a female general. Could it be this woman? I really didn't expect that she would be so beautiful.
Liu Shun came back to his senses and immediately saluted: "See King Li, King Xuan, General."
King Li: "Don't give me a gift, what's the situation in the city now?"
Liu Shun said sadly: "That night, heavy snow, all the houses in the city collapsed, and many people died. The city gate was blocked, so we had to trap the city. Now all the living people are in the government office, and only the government offices in the city have not collapsed."
Hao Lianxuan: "How far is the government office here? Is the road easier to walk?"
Liu Shun: "It's probably a few miles away from the government office here. We have been shoveling snow these days, but after shoveling, it's piled up again. The road is relatively narrow but you can barely walk."
Nangong Jinse: "So that's the case, let's go to the government office first."
Liu Shun: "I wonder if you came here and brought food and clothing. We have been sleepy for many days. We finished our food yesterday. There was no clothing even when the house collapsed. Everyone could only hold a group to keep warm."
Hao Lianxuan: "Yuan Ming, arrange for people to get some food and clothing in first. At such a long distance, I'm afraid those people will have to stay in the government office for a night."
Yuan Ming: "Yes, I'll go now."
Liu Shun: "Then the prince and the general go to the government office with you."
Nangong Jinse: "Fengqing, you are here to keep shoveling snow. It doesn't need to be too wide for one person to walk."
Feng Qing: "Yes."
The group slowly headed towards the government office. It was really difficult to walk on the road, and the snow had reached the calf.
The magistrate of the government office had learned that someone had come to rescue them, and he was both happy and worried.
He Lu looked at Yue Xiong with a worried look and asked in confusion: "Sir, why do you look like this? Hasn't someone come to save us?"
Yue Xiong: "Yes, but not only King Li came, but also King Xuan and a general."
He Lu: "So what?"
Yue Xiong: "You don't understand. All the houses in this city have collapsed, but the government office has not collapsed. I am afraid that King Xuan will have some suspicion!"
He Lu: "As long as we don't say it, King Xuan would not have discovered it."
Yue Xiong: "I hope so."
