Chapter 285 See you in Southern Xinjiang!
Chapter 285 See you in Southern Xinjiang!
This news came too suddenly.
I didn't expect Zhao Zhu to die. It was so sudden.
Zhao Zhu was the prince of Southern Xinjiang. After Zhao Bing left, it was natural for Zhao Zhu to take over Zhao Bing's position.
"what is going on?"
"Run!"
"The prince is dead!"
"..."
Suddenly, Zhao Zhu's army was defeated.
Some troops in the city also began to flee, but outside, a large army had already intercepted them.
Those who are willing to stay will naturally stay, and those who are unwilling to stay will naturally be let go.
All of a sudden.
The entire city was under the control of the army, and the people inside were also surprisingly quiet. It seemed that at this moment, the whole world had quieted down.
Xu Ping'an had already landed on the city wall.
Go into town.
The people in the city were still a little panicked, and there were soldiers everywhere.
It seems like it is searching for something.
Not long after.
Came to a restaurant.
This place was not affected by the war, but the boss and the waiter inside were packing up and seemed to be leaving.
"Sir, we are not doing business here anymore!"
The boss said.
"Why don't you do business?" Xu Ping'an looked at the boss with a smile and continued, "Isn't the city stable now? Why don't you do business?"
The boss said, "It's not what you said."
"The Beiliang army is entering the city. I don't know how many people will suffer. For small businesses like us, it's better to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will be in trouble if we are liquidated."
"Alas, it has always been like this. When dynasties change, the people are the ones who suffer the most."
"We, the common people, still need to be self-aware and not go against our own destiny."
"It's better to live a miserable life than to die!"
Xu Ping'an smiled and said, "Then give me a pot of wine, okay?"
The boss was startled, looked at Xu Ping'an's clothes, and reminded him again: "My dear, I see that you...are a child of a wealthy family. The army is entering the city, why don't you leave?"
"I heard that the army has entered the city, and you guys are all targeted."
"If you don't leave now, I'm afraid the army will come looking for you."
Xu Ping'an did not leave, but went into the house and sat down.
"bring it on!"
"I want to spend some money in your restaurant."
"Don't tell me about the army. We are just ordinary people. We don't need to worry about national affairs."
The boss was also stunned when he heard this.
But he brought a jar of wine to Xu Ping'an.
The boss continued to remind him, "Sir, finish your drink and leave. Don't stay here. It's not good for you."
"It's not a good thing for a large army to enter the city. If we had met a good general, maybe people like us could still survive, but for someone like you, ah, it's difficult..."
“Unless you know someone in the military, it’s difficult.”
Hear the words.
Xu Ping'an ignored him and continued drinking.
He also looked at the boss and the waiter.
"Actually, you don't have to pack your things. I see that the troops entering the city have done no harm to the civilians."
"I think they are all good soldiers. They are not cannibals as rumored by the outside world."
"If you don't believe me, you can go out and take a look. Maybe the people of the whole city have gathered outside and are cheering."
The boss didn't believe it.
He just shook his head and continued packing.
The waiter at the side looked at the boss and whispered, "Boss, I'll go check it out for you."
The boss rolled his eyes at the waiter and said, "Don't you want to live anymore?"
The waiter said, "I just went to take a look."
The boss couldn't argue with the waiter. "Just take a look and come back. Don't stay too long. Got it? We have to leave here quickly."
The waiter nodded.
Because this waiter is his sister's son, if he gets lost...
Thinking of this.
The waiter didn't think much and ran straight out the door.
Not long after.
The waiter returned to the inn with a smile on his face, ran to the boss and whispered a few words.
The boss looked at the waiter in surprise, "What?"
"You, everything you said is true?"
The waiter nodded: "Absolutely true!"
"I will never lie to you."
"Now there are huge crowds of people outside, welcoming the army into the city. It's quite spectacular."
The boss still didn't believe it. He put down what he was holding, ran towards the door, stuck his head out, and was stunned when he saw the situation outside.
He walked out of the inn.
There are people I know out there.
"Great! We don't have to move! This is truly a well-disciplined army!"
"Since entering the city, we have not done anything cruel to the people in the city."
"It seems that we have wrongly blamed the Northern Liang army before..."
"That's all just rumors. The Northern Liang army didn't burn, kill, or plunder everywhere! It's all propaganda spread by Zhao Zhu and others to blacken the Northern Liang army."
"..."
this moment.
The boss immediately returned to the restaurant and walked towards Xu Ping'an who was drinking.
With a smile on your face:
"My lord, you are such a noble man!"
"I didn't expect you to be right."
"..."
The boss was immediately delighted.
He was not stingy and immediately brought a jar of wine to Xu Ping'an, saying generously: "Sir, I'll treat you."
"I'll ask the kitchen to make you some wine."
"It's great that I can continue to stay here and do business. I didn't expect it. We in southern Xinjiang are really lucky."
In fact, he had wanted to leave a long time ago.
Because on the eve of the Beiliang army's march south, a major incident occurred in the city. The prince got drunk and actually whipped the general.
This undoubtedly shocked countless people, and it was not a good thing.
Such a thing happened at this time, which had a huge impact on the entire southern Xinjiang.
What’s more, the palace of King Yanla is located in this city, which is really surprising.
"But to be honest, I don't have a very good impression of Zhao Zhu, and it's because Zhao Zhu whipped his soldiers."
"This person wasn't like this before. How did he become like this?"
"Alas, it is true that you can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart."
Xu Ping'an has been listening to Zhao Zhu's affairs since he entered the city.
I didn't expect him to do such a thing.
It's really unbelievable.
Zhao Zhu was not an ordinary dandy boy, he was a true nobleman. Even when he met him in Beimang that year, even his tattered clothes could not hide his nobleness.
Moreover, from his words and deeds to the way he conducts himself and does things, he has his own set of principles.
"Everyone has his own destiny!"
"Hey, Boss, I think the world will belong to Beiliang! Can you open restaurants all over the country in the future?"
"Ah? Hahaha, I don't have such a big idea. I just hope that I can make some money, support my family, and live a healthy life."
"Hahaha, the boss is a real person."
"You can't bring anything with you when you are born and you can't take anything with you when you die. Isn't that what life is all about? If you have to earn more than me in everything, wouldn't that be very tiring?
We can't compare to those rich people.
I don’t understand why they have to fight with each other. Aren’t they tired? Aren’t they full? Aren’t they enjoying so many benefits? Why do they still want to… Hey, ordinary people like us can’t understand.”
"..."
