Chapter 725 (1/2)
”Canned buns - buns - Pomegranate buns - sell -”
Listening to the cries in his ears, Bai Xiaowen walked blankly in the streets of Xi'an. The anding gatehouse was placed in front of him. There were one after another Hawking around. The guests came and went one after another. It was bustling, but he didn't care about it. He studied in a new school in Xi'an, but Xi'an was not peaceful in recent days, and he couldn't read much!
Since Marshal Feng Yuxiang died outside Xi'an City, something has changed in the city. It is said that Feng dashai wanted to dig the tomb of the first emperor, which caused ”bad luck” to die. As for what the ”bad luck” was. Bai Xiaowen is not sure.
Some students said that the zongzi in the tomb of the first emperor turned white hair and killed when they came out. Others said that marshal Feng killed the British tomb robber and was killed by a foreigner killer!
All kinds of rumors are rampant for a time. There are all kinds of statements, and there is no consensus.
These things are so far away from the common people that they can only become gossip on the head of the population of Xi'an - what really makes Bai Xiaowen unable to attend class is the chaos after Feng dashai's death. Feng dashai's death is confused, and there is a movement among the direct warlords in Xi'an. Feng dashai's sworn brother, Zhen Songjun, Liu Zhenhua, has great ambitions for the post of Shaanxi military supervisor.
Feng Yuxiang believes in Christianity and is known as the ”General of Christ”. Liu Zhenhua often goes to church and invites the priest to preach in Zhensong army. He flattered Feng Yuxiang with this skill. They exchanged posts and worshipped him. After Feng Yuxiang died, he was strong. No wonder he had such ambition.
However, Xi'an city was not in his hands. Wu Xintian, commander-in-chief of the border defense army in southern Shaanxi, took over Xi'an city first after Feng Yuxiang's death. On the one hand, he joined forces with the Yasukuni army of Hu Jingyi's Department, and on the other hand, he closely guarded Xi'an against Liu Zhenhua's department.
Liu Zhenhua had to exert political pressure on Wu Xintian and tangle with bandits, red spear club, broadsword club and other party armed forces. He tangled up nearly 50000 troops and was ready to attack Xi'an and destroy Wu Xintian's troops.
At this time, although the war has not yet started, the clouds have already shrouded over the ancient city of Xi'an. Although Wu Xintian also has the troops left by Feng Yuxiang, a large part of the troops have been attracted by Liu Zhenhua. Instead, he does not have an advantage. Fortunately, he has united with the Yasukuni army of Hu Jingyi, and Yang Hucheng, a fierce general under the Yasukuni army, assists in garrisoning Xi'an.
The traders in the old street in front of the Andingmen tower don't open the door for a day, so they don't have food for a day. But Bai Xiaowen is not them. His father Bai Jiaxuan is the landlord of Bailuyuan, a small town below Xi'an. Now the school is in a mess, so he wants to go back to his hometown and wait for the disordered soldiers to come back to class, so as not to be blocked by the disordered army when Liu Zhenhua attacked Xi'an.
Just when Bai Xiaowen hesitated, there was a sudden noise at the gate of the city. Anding gate is the main west gate of Xi'an city. The gate is controlled by the army. Usually there will be no trouble, but once there is trouble, it is chaos. Bai Xiaowen saw a goods man coming from the gate with a burden on his shoulders. He looked in a hurry and didn't bother to greet the guests.
Hurriedly shouted to him, ”what happened outside the city?”
The peddler had no time to talk to him and couldn't help pestering him. He shouted: ”a big hole has collapsed in Lishan Mountain, revealing the tomb of the first emperor. The terracotta soldiers, cars and horses inside are alive! They are wearing white helmets and white armor, wearing the filial piety of the first emperor, and kill us!”
