Today, there is a chilling atmosphere in the Beiting Protectorate. The general is wearing armor, and the sword in his hand is stained with bright red blood.
The general shook the hilt of his sword gently, and the blood on the blade was wiped clean.
The sounds of fighting and screams can still be heard in the mansion. A group of assassins carrying out suicide attacks will naturally not pose any threat to the Protectorate's mansion. After all, Xu Xianzhi has so many masters under his command.
The eldest princess came from the backyard. Even she was wearing Yunfeng Baojia, holding sun and moon jagged swords in both hands. Her whole body was full of blood, and she looked like she had just killed someone.
Mr. Qin felt relieved when he saw that the eldest princess was fine. He turned around and faced the general with a face as deep as iron, holding his hands and apologizing: "I didn't think carefully and didn't make the arrangements completely, so the general and the eldest princess were frightened."
Xu Xianzhi shook his head: "Mr. Qin, don't blame yourself. Who would have expected that all of these thieves would be dead soldiers."
"This is also our fault. Peng'er had already said before he left that the enemy spies in the city would take the initiative before they were thoroughly investigated." Although the eldest princess was forced to use force, she was not a murderous person by nature. "But
We didn't really pay attention to it. In the entire Beiting City, these spies and thieves from different camps broke out at the same time. The number of people I killed tonight was almost as much as the incident that year."
"I'm sorry to Peng'er, we messed up the initiative he prepared early." Xu Xianzhi was also angry with herself, "The Beiting Army has fully suppressed the riot, but this time the thieves are not afraid of death.
They only want to burn, kill and destroy, Beiting has suffered too much loss this time!"
"Report!" While the three of them were sighing, Yuchi Changgong's voice came from outside the door.
The hot-tempered warrior was already covered in blood. He knelt down on one knee and reported the battle: "General, eldest princess, and Qin's military advisor, all nine riot groups in the city have been killed, and no one has escaped.
"
"What are the casualties of the civilians? What are the casualties of the soldiers?" the general asked sharply.
"The houses of the common people in Yanshun Fang and Gongming Fang were severely burned, and the rest were extinguished in time. Thirty-seven people died, 29 were seriously injured and critically injured, and 236 were slightly injured!" Yuchi Changgong
He replied with a sad look on his face, "Soldiers... lost eighty-seven brothers."
"Damn it!" The general was furious and slapped the Eight Immortals table sent by Zhang Peng. The Eight Immortals table made of Populus euphratica wood was extremely strong, but it was directly smashed to pieces under the General's iron palm as big as a cattail leaf fan, "Yan
Shunfang is the gathering place for grain merchants in Beiting City. With this disaster, the people in Beiting City may have no grain to buy."
"Is there any way to capture the thieves alive?" Mr. Qin asked.
Yuchi Changgong shook his head in pain: "I don't know what happened to these guys. Every one of them is a dead soldier! They were fighting fiercely with their swords in their guts, but we... didn't even capture a single person alive."
"You are so skilled that you can't capture someone alive?" The eldest princess obviously didn't believe it.
"Back to Princess," Yuchi Changgong sighed and said, "The last general did capture one person alive through a sneak attack, but after the guy fell into a coma, he bled from all his orifices and died immediately. His blood was black and smelly, and it was obvious that
It’s because I took some kind of strange medicine in advance.”
Yuchi Changgong had just finished speaking when two figures flew in from outside the wall, a man and a woman. The man was pale-faced and white-haired but energetic. It was Yuan Gongyuan. The woman was silver-haired but had delicate skin. She was wearing a flying satin dress.
, a red cinnabar between the eyebrows, a beautiful face.
Yuan Gongyuan walked into the house to talk to Xu Xianzhi and others, while the woman stood proudly in the courtyard.
"Brother Yuan, have you gained anything here?" Xu Xianzhi cupped his fists and saluted.
"It's confirmed, he is a master of the Punishment Holy See!" Yuan Gongyuan's whole body was full of true energy, and he was obviously still adjusting his aura, which showed how intense the battle he had just experienced was.
"Is there only one person?" Xu Xianzhi asked immediately.
"There is only one person. This guy slipped like a loach. Although he escaped in the end, he was injured by Baili and I. He will never dare to do evil again for a year and a half," Yuan Gongyuan assured, patting his chest and saying
After he finished, he turned to look at Baili Xiyun who was admiring the snow scene in the yard. Baili Xiyun proudly turned her back to everyone.
"But I still feel uneasy in my heart," Xu Xianzhi stroked his beard. He always felt that something was missing. "The spies from different camps actually cooperated for the first time. This must be the energy to punish the Holy See. It's just that they made such a fuss.
Huan, why is there only one person who punishes the Holy See?"
Mr. Qin slowly walked to the map of Beiting City and suddenly pointed to the location of the granary on the map. Then he said: "General, has any of the granaries in the city, including Taipingcang, been damaged?
It stands to reason that they wanted to plunge Beiting City into chaos quickly, and burning the granary would be the most perfect way. But why didn't they choose to attack the granary instead of attacking the grain merchants in Yanshunfang? You know, the grain merchants
No matter how large our food reserves are, they can't be greater than the granary of Beiting City, so why sacrifice the good and chase the weak?"
"Maybe the granaries are located in open areas, so it's not easy for them to succeed," Xu Xianzhi didn't understand, so he explained to himself, "My subordinates just came to report that the grain and grass camp captain saw no one attacking the granaries.
, so all the military rations scattered across various places were transported with little damage in the process."
"They were all shipped within an hour? Whose idea was it?" Mr. Qin was shocked.
Xu Xianzhi rarely saw Mr. Qin lose his composure: "When the riot started, the marching secretary of the Liangcao Battalion gave advice. He saw that there were enemies rioting and charging in front of the Liangcao Camp, but there was no trace of the enemy on the road leading to the granary in the city.
So we rescued most of the military rations and transported them to the granary."
"But now all the grain in the city has been gathered in the granary. This is not a good thing!" Mr. Qin's thinking is very quick, which is inversely proportional to his old appearance and his usual slow pace. "Big
General, we must double the defense strength of the granary immediately!"
Xu Xianzhi slapped his head and made a sign of remorse, and then hurriedly ordered Yuchi Changgong: "Changgong, you immediately..."
But before he finished speaking, he heard a shocking loud noise coming from outside the hospital, like thunder from the sky!
Following the loud noise, the entire Duhu Mansion shook, and the dust on the roof beams was shaken off.
Xu Xianzhi supported Mr. Qin, the only person present who did not know martial arts. Apparently, the old man was frightened by the loud noise.
But just when everyone was looking at each other wondering what was going on, there were three consecutive loud noises coming from outside the hospital.
Everyone rushed out of the house quickly, and Xu Xianzhi and the eldest princess jumped onto the roof one after another.
Xu Xianzhi stood on the roof and didn't know what to say when she saw the scene in front of her.
"Those four thunders came from four granaries!" The eldest princess lost strength in her feet and slumped down on the roof. "Why is this happening? Two years of life-saving food and half a year of military rations were all burned down?"
Did they borrow the power of ghosts and gods?
Seeing the raging fire at the Taipingcang lighting up the night sky in the North Courtyard, he knew with just one glance that the fire was hopeless.
It’s just that Xu Xianzhi is puzzled. How does it punish the Holy See?
It's a pity that Peng'er is not in Beiting, otherwise he must know the reason! It can even be prevented in advance...
