Chapter 1430: Rolling Thunder
The military officer walked in gently, reporting on the situation of the defense near the granary, after most of the day of changing the guard, the possibility of internal and external collusion has basically been eliminated, and it is as difficult for the conspirators to get in as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Now Qin Jin can be relieved, food is the most important strategic material now, if something goes wrong, it will seriously affect the morale of the army.
"Has Li Zhong returned to the inn?"
"Back to Prime Minister, Li Zhong and his entourage have already rested, and there is no change!"
Qin Jin nodded and shook his head again, could it be that he was too sensitive? But he immediately denied this idea, Li Zhongqi must have a problem, and the things they conspired and planned must also be aimed at the Shenwu Army and himself.
At this time, another officer entered.
"Report to the Prime Minister that the security forces patrolling near the granary have caught a few spies, all of them Sogdians!"
"Caught the spy?
"Don't say anything, your mouth is hard and tight!"
This made Qin Jin's heart tense again, it seems that the conspirators did not give up, so how should the conspirators deal with such a strict situation?
Qin Jin was puzzled.
Many things must be prepared for a rainy day, otherwise if there is an accident, everything will be passive.
"Go and call General Qin!"
He felt the need to discuss with Qin Yan again, and a bad premonition always followed.
At this time, Qin Yan had just finished patrolling the city, and he came to see the prime minister non-stop and reported how he deployed defenses in the city.
Although Qin Yan is only in his early twenties, he has been fighting for six or seven years, and he is a complete veteran, with rich experience in both offense and defense.
He said that there was no problem, and that the seven or eight achievements were generally safe.
When he heard that Li Zhong had come in the evening, Qin Yan pursed his lips.
"This guy's eyes flickered, and at first glance, he was a guy with a ghost in his heart, and he said some advice that seemed to be contrary to his ears in front of the general, but in fact, it was to paralyze us so that he could carry out his conspiracy!"
His tone made no secret of his disgust and contempt for Li Zhongqi.
But this person was by no means taken lightly, in addition to the secret agents, the number of patrolling security forces near the street where Li Zhong's inn was located was doubled.
Even if these guys are openly chaotic, the security army can go out to kill them as soon as possible, and there is no need for the Shenwu army to go out at all.
Qin Yan is a person who looks reckless on the surface, but he is quite delicate in his heart, and after so many years of experience, he is no longer a stunned young man who has just started to emerge. Any plan can be laid out perfectly, and it is not easy for someone to try to take advantage of him.
Therefore, Qin Yan was full of confidence, since he knew that Li Zhong was one of the conspirators, he stared at them for a long time to see if this guy could turn the sky upside down.
Confident, Qin Yan instead hoped that Li Zhong would not be stupid and vulnerable, and stupidly and automatically and consciously come to the door to die, it would be too boring.
The key object of protection is the granary with a large amount of grain, which is enough to feed the whole city for three years. If you plan it right, you can do it for four or five years.
Qin Jin couldn't help but stretch his waist, then yawned again, and sleepiness came up.
For months, he had been fighting and marching without stopping for half a moment, and his nerves had been tense, and his physical strength and energy had been seriously overdrawn.
But now is not the time to relax and rest, before returning to the east, Mulu City is a crucial battle, and all kinds of arrangements must be made as much as possible.
"Since I'm tired, I'll rest for a night, I won't go back tonight, I'm on duty outside, and whoever comes to bypass the general Qingmeng, I'll screw his head off!"
Qin Jin smiled:
"You are also the town guard of the same place, and there are more important things waiting for you, just stand guard and leave it to the guards. In the past few days, merchants from all over the world have entered the city, and all kinds of people are mixed, not only Li Zhong, but also many conspirators hiding in the shadows. ”
Qin Yan grinned and showed two neat rows of teeth, raised his hand and scratched his head.
"These merchants are really a headache, there are many people, goods, livestock, and the streets of the city are full of feces and urine, and they stink, I really want to blow them all out and clean the city!"
"It's a good thing that there are a lot of livestock and a lot of feces and urine, although it is uncomfortable, but it brings popularity to Mulu City, so that the flow of goods can continue. However, in the future, some regulations can be made in response to this situation, or a special area can be set aside in the suburbs for the market to barter goods, so as to avoid human and animal feces and urine polluting the streets!"
Hearing this, Qin Yan let out a rare sigh.
"Now Mulu City has a lot to do, and the things to be done can't be counted on two hands, repairing the city is a top priority, opening up a new Shiyi District, just wait first, it's not a hurry!"
Qin Jin nodded with satisfaction, since Qin Yan knew how to prioritize, there was nothing to worry about.
Drowsiness came like waves, wave after wave, making him almost irresistible, and his eyelids fought fiercely.
However, there were still many military affairs that had not been dealt with today, Qin Jin shook his head vigorously, got up and came to the copper basin on the wooden shelf next to the wall.
The basin was filled with water, he washed his face happily, wiped it clean, and then pushed open the window, and fresh air poured in, and the whole person suddenly felt a lot more energetic.
The day's work was not completed, and Qin Jin would not lie down on the Hu bed to rest no matter what.
Suddenly, he only felt the ground under his feet shake for a moment, and just when he thought it was a hallucination, the ground shook sharply, and then the rumbling thunder came.
Qin Jin's sleepiness completely dissipated invisibly, his body trembled uncontrollably, and an ominous cloud came to his heart.
He was all too familiar with the situation, and the shaking of the earth and the rolling thunder were clearly caused by the explosion.
But now there is no fighting, so where is the explosion?
When Qin Jin cast his inquiring gaze on Qin Yan, he saw that his entire face was nervously twisted and turned green.
Obviously, he didn't know what the explosions were.
"Guards, guards!"
The next moment, Qin Yan reacted and called his entourage loudly, he wanted to immediately confirm what was happening outside.
Before the words fell, the ground under his feet trembled violently, and the muffled thunder rolled in after him.
The explosion happened again.
The guards came in with panicked faces, not knowing what was going on.
"Where did it explode......?
A series of orders were issued, and Qin Yan also left after him, he wanted to go out to confirm that the Shenwu Army was not in turmoil, as long as the Shenwu Army was there, no one would be able to turn the sky in Mulu City.
The room was quiet, Qin Jin frowned and looked up at the night sky outside the window, and the reddening of fire could already be faintly seen in the distance......
