Chapter 1122 1122: Fire Burns the City (Part 2) [Please double the monthly ticket
】
The three armies joined forces smoothly.
The time to defeat the last layer of defense in King Gao was shorter than expected. As the head of the country, Shen Tang was very poor, but she was very generous to the courtiers who worked for her. So in terms of money, fame and fortune, big pie and Under various chicken soup propaganda, the army marched as fast as a god. The whole army was shrouded in a haze of "if you are slow, you will lose the military glory", every time you want to blame me for not giving birth to two more legs.
Until the excitement was extinguished by a fire.
Yes, fire!
A fire rose in the direction of King Gao's capital.
The fire soared into the sky, burning most of the sky red.
Shen Tang's heart trembled: "Ji Shou, come with me!"
The two places were so far apart that one could still see the light of fire. She didn't dare to imagine how severe the fire was in the city. Immediately, without any hesitation, she called a few scribes to go over and put out the fire first. Others went on as usual, paying attention to possible fire hazards along the way. of ambush.
There is no courtesy, justice or shame in fighting in troubled times.
Shen Tang didn't dare to bet whether the fire was a poisonous plan devised by the enemy to delay our progress, or a trap that the enemy used the city as bait to lure us into, with the intention of killing everything. These were the things that came to his mind in the blink of an eye.
She thought about it, and so did everyone else.
"My lord, be careful of traps."
From a rational point of view, Shen Tang should be more cautious and slow down the marching speed appropriately. After all, it is not her job to put out fires. Afterwards, she can write an edict blaming the Gao Wang court for how unconscionable and cruel it is. She occupies the moral high ground and criticizes the high country. But if she really does this, she is not Shen Youli: "Traps can only surround the weak."
A trap that can trap ants has no effect on ferocious beasts. In her opinion, there is no conflict between putting out fires and attacking cities.
"The rest are marching as usual, be on alert!"
Shen Tang specially left Gongxi Qiu behind to prevent the enemy from raiding. He took Kang Shi and others and approached the fire as quickly as possible. Kang Shi felt helpless when he heard the order, not that he didn't want to make this trip. , but I am afraid that I will go at an inappropriate time.
I don’t know how long this fire has been burning. If they arrive, the royal capital will completely collapse and turn into a sea of fire... What if the Lord throws the blame on himself?
My waist is not good, so I can't carry such a big burden.
It's just that I can't say these words.
Because he knew in his heart the reason why the Lord had to take him with him.
Wenxin scribes all have their own favorite words and spirits, and Kang Shi is the best at playing with water among them. Every time he fights, he likes to use [Flooded Seven Armies] to attack the enemy. Other scribes are not proficient in this aspect, so there is no A more suitable candidate than Kangshi.
When you are healthy, you can do two things at once.
While distracted, I used my peripheral vision to explore along the road.
He was afraid that the enemy would find out the master's temper and make a big one on the road! He didn't see the enemy's shadow, but he saw a faint green light flashing away. He turned his head and looked around, just in time to catch the faint green light reflected on Jimo Qiu's body. High priest's robes.
With this outfit, you can wear it at any time like a martial arts armor.
Without having to match the speed of the army, Shen Tang and others rushed to a place several miles outside the city in the shortest possible time. From such a distance, the howling of wolves and ghosts could still be heard by the wind, and she raised her head with a heavy heart.
The air above the royal capital has been distorted by tongues of fire, and the scorching air waves mixed with the burning smell invaded the nasal cavity. As soon as she saw the fire in front of her, she knew that the fire was a poisonous trick rather than a trap.
"Everyone, let's do it!"
Save as many as you can, do your best, and obey fate!
After saying that, he took the lead in transforming into martial armor and rushed into the sea of fire with a held breath. Jimo Qiu followed immediately, and the moment he stepped onto the city wall, circles of mysterious formation patterns appeared under his feet with him as the center. The wooden staff touched one of them. Area, divine power pours out.
"God's gift: Hanmu Chunhua, start the formation!"
In an instant, something huge rose from the ground in the center of the royal capital.
It was a strange plant with a trunk so thick that several big men could not hug it. The crown of the tree was dense, and countless branches extended in the blink of an eye. These branches penetrated into the ground, nourished by the earth, and spread wildly underground. These branches are very important to The breath of life is particularly keen, and it can immediately detect whether there are living things on the ground. Jimo Qiu set up this formation, and a figure passed by him.
Along with it comes the crisp water vapor in the wind.
"The water flooded the Seventh Army!"
The water column turned into a dragon, and the water dragon soared upwards from outside the city and crossed the high wall, rushing over the fire with an indomitable momentum. One water dragon, two water dragons, three water dragons... nine in total! They disintegrated at the same time in the same area, It turned into a downpour and fell accurately. Although the water dragon was huge and had an amazing amount of water, it was nothing compared to this sea of fire!
Kang Shi was also worried when he saw this. He stood on the remnant pillar that had just been extinguished and made up his mind. At this time, he would not care about the cost! He said to Jimo Qiu: "Jimo High Priest, support us with some literary spirit."
Jimo Qiu did not hesitate: "Okay!"
Kang Shi raised his hand and transformed into two incarnations of literary energy.
The incarnation divided the troops into two groups and continued to use [Flood the Seven Arms] to turn as much cultural energy into water as possible, while the main body activated the way of the scribe. He opened his eyes and said: "Heaven and earth are the game, and all living beings make bets——"
With a wave of his sleeves, and with the support of Jimo Qiu Wenqi, he also became generous, and thirty-two giant tooth plaques flew in all directions, connecting into a circle and incorporating the Wangdu fire scene.
As the tooth cards were placed in sequence, little lights like the stars in the sky quietly appeared in the sky above the capital. The firelight kept jumping in Kang Shi's eyes, covering up his nervous heart at the moment.
This tension was instantly replaced by perseverance.
The common people in the city are the chips in this game of chess.
He is bound to lose every bet, but now he is bound to win every bet!
"The luck of heaven and earth is all in my hand." A dental card was turned over, and the lines on it were like vast water waves. As he made a bow and arrow, the surrounding heat appeared and an obvious cliff suddenly dropped. The energy of heaven and earth was like a whale swallowing the sea. They gathered towards him like they were sucking, and their target was the tooth card that flew into the formation, "God, help me!"
As soon as the words fell, sharp arrows shot out.
The sharp arrow sank into the tooth plate, and the water rippled.
This arrow seemed to tear open the opening from the Tianhe River to the human world, and countless water pillars sprayed in all directions. However, this scale was still no match for the fire, and it could at most resolve the predicament of this area. Just when Kang Shi looked ugly, another figure
It was a long time coming. As he arrived, rain clouds quickly gathered over the royal capital.
Suddenly there was a strong wind, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and the wind and rain were dim.
It rained lightly at first, and then it rained heavily.
With this magical heavy rain, Kang Shi breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't care that he was also soaked in the rain. He showed a sincere smile and praised: "Yiyi, you came just in time!"
Luan Xin glanced at the Yapai water column that was increasing in power.
He took another look at Kang Jishou's condition.
Wen Tun said: "Do you want to collect it?"
Kang Jishou's display of power is really eye-catching. The water column fell and it caught up with the flood discharge, but when the fire underneath was extinguished, it was also surrounded by "floods". Fortunately, the water level was not high and no one could be drowned. The people affected by the disaster would be swept wherever they were, and it was not man-made.
Controlled. Kang Shi was also worried about this, but it was the lesser of two evils. The water would not kill anyone, but the fire would burn people if not extinguished.
Until Jimo Qiu gave him a reassurance.
Kang Shi saw a branch rising wildly below, and the extended part dexterously wrapped around the person who was washed away by the flood. While the other person was still in shock, he lifted the person high. Looking around, he saw that there were dense trees nearby.
The branches moved closer to the safe area. Every branch was entangled with people, whether they were old people, children, or young adults. Most of them didn't even have the strength to struggle. In addition to the fear in their eyes, there was also the joy of surviving the disaster.
These branches climb along the city wall.
After putting the person down, he retreated and searched for the next living person.
The survivors who were rescued from the fire scene were stunned for a long time, and they couldn't even care about the burning pain on their bodies. They hugged the people around them and cried.
I didn't expect that I could escape.
There are only a limited number of people who can move the branches. More survivors were either rushed out of the fire ring by the flood, or accidentally discovered that the fire in their hiding place was strangely small, and mustered up the courage to escape. A few people were lucky to save their lives, and even more
Many people were screaming and howling! Because of their burns, and because their loved ones were left behind in this fire forever.
Looking at Shen Tang, her methods are even more brutal.
He completely aroused his own aura, suppressed the fire with his martial energy, and then slashed a road with his sword. His domineering martial energy completely separated the fire. His anger sank into his Dantian, and he shouted at the people hiding everywhere: "Everyone, follow this road.
Get out!"
Most of the houses in the city were made of wood that was easy to make fire. The person who started the fire also used strong fire oil. The fire took shape in the shortest time, and many people had no time to escape. Shen Tang was so angry that his teeth itched!
Those who set fire should be cut to pieces!
Under a fire of this scale, the efforts of Shen Tang and others were only to stop the fire from spreading and rescue the living people who still showed signs of life. It was not until the main force of the army arrived that the whole army worked together and it took two days to save the people.
The fire was barely put out, but King Gao, who had devoted countless efforts to Wu Xian, could not save it. 70% of the area was destroyed, and everything you could see was dilapidated ruins.
There was still drizzle in the sky.
The soldiers silently dug out charred corpses from the ruins.
Shen Tang was sitting in the corner, staring blankly ahead, with her hands folded on her knees. She didn't even notice when Wu Xian stepped on the puddle and approached. After a long time, she finally reacted and raised a dark and numb face. He couldn't hide his haggard face: "Brother Zhaode, you really have a bad outlook! You and I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of you and me. Do you know how many people died this time?"
If a war is a war, what harm will it do to the common people?
The fire did forcefully control her for two days and buy precious time for the fleeing people, but - who of the people she Shen Youli wanted to kill could survive? She wanted the other party to die at three o'clock, so the Lord of Hell dared to keep people until five o'clock. What’s more, she even killed the Lord of Hell!
Shen Tang's eyes were covered with red threads.
Said: "Brother Zhaode, let me say hello to you first - if one of your Wu clan sets this fire, I want the lives of all nine of his clans! Even if they surrender, I will still kill them! Fuck the rules of our ancestors. , my words are the biggest rule!”
She will not give the other party a chance to surrender!
She wanted to chop up every earthworm in that man's entire family!
Wu Xian's face turned pale for a moment.
He knows best how much effort Wangdu has put into it.
Seeing the very familiar place reduced to ruins, he felt as sad as anyone else. After hearing Shen Tang's murderous message, Wu Xian truly understood where he had lost.
There was bitterness on his lips: "Leave a few heads for me."
Shen Tang said: "Even if it's your son?"
Wu Xian's wives and concubines basically came from various families, big and small, and he gave birth to bloodline numbers 40 and 50 with these women. In terms of blood, Wu Xian's clan is related to every family. It is difficult to say whether the mastermind of this fire is related to Wu Xian. It doesn't matter! Shen Tang had dark thoughts in his heart, suspecting that the fire was ordered by the new master of Gao Kingdom who escaped from the palace, Wu Xian's own son...
Wu Xian said coldly: "Then I will kill myself!"
He asked himself that he was not a good thing, but he was so crazy that he set fire to the city to delay the enemy. He could not do it and would not allow anyone to do it. Shen Tang's mouth overflowed with sarcasm. This was the first time she had faced Wu Xian directly. White expresses malice.
No one could have imagined that things would develop like that.
Wu Xian failed to kill his son and saw his son's head first.
——
On that day, Shen Tang sent Gong Xiqiu and Wei Shou to pursue the enemy with 40% of his troops, and the remaining troops went into fire rescue.
Gong Xiqiu set out in the afternoon and came back in more than an hour.
The first person to discover that Gong Xiqiu had returned was Jimo Qiu.
Shen Tang has a better sense of living people than others, so he simply rolls up his sleeves and digs people out of the rubble. Jimo Qiu can be used as a doctor in Xinglin. His magical power can stabilize the heart of the dying and fight for the medical treatment of the injured camp. Precious time.
Jimo Qiugang took his hand away from the person's chest, raised his head and looked in a certain direction as if he was feeling something, and frowned slightly. Shen Tang saw his expression when he carried the two corpses out: "You're feeling something?"
Are there any enemies approaching?
Jimo Qiu shook his head: "No, it's A Nian who's back."
Shen Tang paused: "So fast?"
One hour cannot catch up with the opponent's three days' journey.
She ignored the dirt on her body and hurried out of the city.
It's obviously not normal to rush back so quickly.
Could it be possible that we were ambushed on the road?
In order to reduce losses, Gong Xiqiu had to lead his troops to retreat?
This is not in line with Gong Xiqiu's character of being the best in the world.
During this not-so-long journey, dozens of guesses flashed through Shen Tang's mind. Until she left the city wall, she keenly smelled the abnormally strong smell of blood in the air: "Gongxi Qiu!"
She first saw Wei Shou, who had a complicated expression, and then Gong Xiqiu, who was not in a very high-spirited mood. Shen Tang went straight to the point and asked, "Yuanyuan, what happened? Why did you come back so quickly?"
Wei Shou opened his mouth and sighed.
He made a sideways movement and raised his palm, signaling to the soldiers behind him to bring the things up. As the soldiers approached, the smell of blood became stronger. Shen Tang lowered his eyes and looked at the box held high by the two soldiers. Based on the size of the box, she roughly guessed what was inside. Seeing that Shen Tang did not reach out to open the box, Wei Shou made a suggestion: "Hey, my lord, do you want to call Wu Zhaode over?"
At this time, Shen Tang confirmed the identity of the owner of the box.
When Wu Xian arrived, he saw blood dripping from the cracks in the box, and his heart beat rapidly: "Whose is it?"
Gong Xiqiu: "The new lord of Gao Kingdom and... the Queen Mother."

Alas, Zheng Qiao’s lunch boxes were distributed last Labor Day, and they are also distributing lunch boxes this Labor Day.
PS: Shiitake has organized a new keyboard. If you are interested, you can try it~
PPS: Even Tang Mei said that the strong smell of blood must be more than just these two box lunches.
