The order from Guanlong's high-level officials has not yet arrived. The Guanlong army, which surrounded the dead soldiers of Youtun Guards like a front and back, did not dare to act rashly and could only follow suit. They dared to sneak into the warehouse area heavily guarded by the Guanlong army and set fire to it. Burning the grain, these people definitely have no intention of going back alive. They are all brave and desperate desperadoes. Once they are cornered and there is no hope of escape, killing the King of Qi will not be more troublesome than killing a chicken...
Cheng Wuting ordered to speed up, and sure enough, all the Guanlong warships in front of him gave way and did not dare to collide easily. It was obvious that he was very concerned about the safety of King Qi.
Who would have thought that when we were on the verge of despair, a talisman like King Qi, given by God, would come to us? I deserve to be able to make such a great contribution to the world and come back alive.
All the previous troubles have become a thing of the past, but now things are going smoothly. He couldn't help but feel proud, holding a sword in hand and standing on the bow of the boat with his head held high. The wind blew from the river, picking up fine raindrops, making his clothes fly, making him look heroic.
Li You, who was huddled on the deck, wished he could kick this guy into the river. He didn't want to run away quickly to get rid of these pursuers, but he was still pretending to be cool at the bow of the boat?
Mother!
This stick can't afford to eat at all, and can't eat four dishes in a lifetime...
There were no waves on the river, and the gentle breeze and drizzle stirred up ripples. Although the boat was not known for its speed, the dead soldiers rowed hard and cut through the waves. In a short time, the burning warehouse area was destroyed. Behind him, there were still troops following on both sides of the river, with torches like long dragons, and the river was also surrounded by military boats. Although the rebels did not dare to approach, if they were always so decorated, it would be difficult for the dead soldiers of Youtun Guard to escape.
Cheng Wuting was happy and not afraid.
When they set out from the camp outside Xuanwu Gate, they had already made a detailed plan. Regardless of whether their trip was successful or whether they could escape after the arson, Wang Fangyi and Liu Shenli would lead two thousand armored cavalry to the north of Kunming Lake. Originally, the foundry and the area were there to provide support. If no one was seen until nearly dawn, the camp would be withdrawn.
As long as they arrive near Kunming Pool, Wang Fangyi and others will definitely come to meet them. And in the wilderness north of Kunming Pool, two thousand armored cavalry are equivalent to invincible existence. No matter how many people Guanlong's army has, they can only I could watch him walk away.
So he is very confident...
*****
Changsun Wuji has been worried about too many things recently. With his temperament, the city also feels irritable. Therefore, he often suffers from insomnia and the quality of his sleep is extremely poor, which leads to dizziness and stagnant thinking. Therefore, he recently found a doctor to prescribe a medicine for him. The old servant cooked it and took it early, so he went to bed very early these days.
However, before the sweet dream ended, someone woke me up.
After taking medicine, I fell into a deep sleep, but I probably didn’t wake up...
Suffering from a splitting headache and filled with anger, Changsun Wuji sat up from the bed, stared at the old servant who had been with him for many years, and asked word for word: "Although you and I have been friends for decades, if there is no one today, It’s reasonable to say, don’t blame me for punishing you.”
The old servant was trembling with fear, knowing that his master was ruthless and had never had any old feelings to cherish, so he hurriedly said: "It's not that this old servant is reckless, something really happened in the world."
As he said that, he came to the window, stretched out his hand and pushed the window open. The breeze carried a few raindrops and fell on the desk in front of the window. The candle flames flickered on and off.
There was a faint red light outside the window.
Even though he was woken up from his sleep again and his thoughts were stagnant, Changsun Wuji could still clearly distinguish between the candlelight and the firelight, and there were bursts of noise and exclamations outside, which seemed extremely unusual.
Changsun Wuji got off the bed and looked for his shoes on the ground, while asking: "What happened?"
The old servant said: "It was outside the Jinguang Gate. A fire suddenly lit up at Yinshi. The old servant didn't know the details, but the scribes outside guessed that there was a sudden fire in the storage area over the Yushitan. The old servant didn't dare to delay.
So wake up the Patriarch...the Patriarch!"
Before he finished speaking, he exclaimed and rushed forward, but Changsun Wuji, who was looking for shoes on the ground, suddenly plunged to the ground and made a "thud" sound.
This frightened him out of his wits, and he rushed to help Changsun Wuji up. However, he saw that the head of the house had a golden face, his eyes were forward, and his hands and feet were cold. Despite his urgent calls, there was no response, so he quickly put Changsun Wuji down.
on the bed, and then flew out to find the doctor.
Fortunately, Changsun Wuji has been ill recently, so a doctor came to rest nearby at night. After being woken up by the old servant, he didn't even bother to put on his clothes, so he ran over with only his middle coat on, pinched the philtrum and pricked the acupuncture points.
After a lot of fussing, Changsun Wuji let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside. Yu Wenjie quickly walked in. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the situation in the room. Then he saw Changsun Wuji and two disheveled doctors lying on the bed. He had no time to ask.
What? He said quickly: "Reporting to Duke Zhao, at the beginning of the Yin Dynasty, more than a hundred dead soldiers from the Youtun Guards sneaked into the storage area and set fire to it. Now the fire is raging, and all the armies have urgently activated emergency plans to participate in fighting the fire."
Even though Changsun Wuji had been mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but feel a twinge of pain in his heart at this moment, sweat broke out one by one, and his face became paler.
The two doctors hurriedly pricked the "Zhongchong point" on the middle finger of Changsun Wuji's left hand with a silver needle, and then inserted needles into the "Guannei point" on his left and right hands. After a long period of busy work, Changsun Wuji's complexion slowly recovered.
The doctor warned: "Zhao Guogong is mentally and physically exhausted, his organs are exhausted, his blood vessels are not smooth, and his heart yang is deficient, resulting in qi stagnation and blood stasis. He is most afraid of being happy and angry. He should control his mood, supplement it with a light diet, and exercise appropriately, otherwise it will be unthinkable."
Changsun Wuji also knew that his situation was extremely bad and did not dare to show off. He closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment before slowly asking: "What's going on? There are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses guarding the warehouse area. How can the right guard guard attack unless they attack by force?
Can he get in? But if he attacks by force, he will definitely trigger the soldiers and horses from the camp near Kaiyuanmen in the north... How can he sneak in? "
Yu Wenjie said: "According to the reports from the soldiers guarding the warehouse, Sun Renshi, the captain of the Zuo Yi Guards, pretended to receive orders from General Yu Wenlong, entered the warehouse for inspection, and brought the dead soldiers of the You Tun Guards inside to set fire to it."
"Master Sun Ren?"
Changsun Wuji muttered subconsciously, feeling that the name sounded familiar, but his mind was not clear and he couldn't remember where he had heard this name.
After thinking for a while, he couldn't remember, so he put it aside and asked: "Only a hundred people set the fire. It seems that the fire was not big. There were so many troops around, and there was a pre-determined arrangement between various ministries in the event of a fire."
How to coordinate a quick rescue, I guess there won’t be too much loss, right?”
The soldiers and horses went ahead with food and fodder before they moved. The hoard of food and fodder near the Yushi Altar was too important to the Guanlong army, so they not only placed heavy troops to protect it, but also made plans in advance for quick rescue in the event of a fire.
Extremely sufficient.
Unexpectedly, Yu Wenjie's face looked ugly. He hesitated for a moment for fear of irritating Changsun Wuji again, but he still did not dare to hide it. He whispered: "The fire is very big. I don't know how the Youtun Guards set the fire. There are almost hundreds of pre-placed earthquakes."
The sky thunder detonated together, igniting the grain in the warehouse, and the thunder must have been mixed with some kind of combustion-supporting substance, causing the fire to spread rapidly, the flames were soaring, and it was not afraid of water, and the rescue situation... there was almost no progress."
Where is the progress?
When the grain is burning, black smoke rises into the sky, making people sick, and the flames roll and roll uncontrollably. People and horses are roasted into charcoal in an instant. More than 10,000 troops are just pretending now, and it is impossible to enter the fire scene to rescue them.
I watched helplessly as more than 100,000 stones of grain turned into ashes.
Changsun Wuji closed his eyes, and the muscles on his face spasmed and twisted.
A fire burned more than 100,000 stones and grains into ashes together with his ambition...
Yu Wenjie couldn't bear to see Changsun Wuji's dejected look, but he continued: "After the soldiers of the Youtun Guards set fire to the fire, they robbed the boats and tried to evacuate them along the Cao River, but the guards saw through them and intercepted them in time, blocking the Cao River.
above."
Changsun Wuji remained silent and seemed to turn a deaf ear.
Yu Wenjie glanced at him and continued: "...But for some reason, His Highness the King of Qi happened to appear on the Cao River, and he happened to be taken hostage by Cheng Wuting and Sun Renshi. The soldiers who came to encircle him were afraid of killing the King of Qi, so
I can only decorate it from a distance, not daring to get close, and ask Duke Zhao to make a decision."
This time Changsun Wuji opened his eyes, struggled to sit up, stared at Yuwenjie with an incredulous expression, and said in surprise: "You actually take King Qi as a hostage, hoping to escape?"
Then he murmured: "King Qi actually appeared on the Cao River outside the city. He obviously knew that he was in danger, so he took a risk. But why did he happen to meet the dead soldiers of Youtun Guard after the arson? Maybe
We had already contacted him in advance, and after Cheng Wuting set the fire, he happened to be in charge of King Qi's escape. Once he was surrounded by the defenders, he took advantage of the fact that the Guanlong soldiers at the bottom did not understand the changes in the situation at the top, and therefore did not dare to sit back and watch King Qi's murder.
The King of Qi was taken as a hostage, and tens of thousands of Guanlong troops were deceived into running around. He had no idea that King Qi would be doomed if he stayed in Chang'an City... Hiss! Fang Er's plan was simply unpredictable, exhausting all the secrets of heaven to allow Zhuge to resurrect.
, the reincarnation of Liuhou is nothing more than this!"
