Chapter 155: The Cellar
In the dungeon of General Chen Yongzhong's mansion, a soldier brought a bowl of water, and General Chen took the bowl of water and handed it to Guo Yiqian.
After Guo Yiqian took the bowl of water, he drank it in the dungeon, he gasped, quickly drank the bowl of water, and then slammed the bowl on the ground, and the bowl was broken in an instant, he quickly picked up a bowl piece, and then cut it to his neck, and suddenly his neck was bloody, and he fell to the ground.
Seeing this, General Chen quickly asked the soldiers to open the cell door to see how Guo Yiqian was injured.
And Li Maicheng also rushed over, pressed Guo Yiqian's neck wound with his hand, and said, "Tell me quickly, what is your plan to sneak into Qianghai City?"
Guo Yiqian shook his head, but he didn't say anything, then Tian Sheng said: "General Chen, don't ask him, as the leader of our spies, the people in his family have already been closely monitored by the soldiers sent by the Huang King, if he says it, the people in his family will be affected." ”
General Chen said: "Okay, then Tiansheng, you tell us everything you know." ”
Tian Sheng said: "The most important task for us to sneak into Qianghai City this time is to burn your warship, so that no matter how strong you are, you will not be able to take back the Qingxin Island." ”
General Chen said: "Okay, I know, it turns out that your target is the warships docked on the shore of the Qianghai Lake, so how are you going to burn those warships?"
Tian Sheng said: "There is a cellar under the fish shop in the West Sea, which contains two hundred jars of wine, as long as we take the opportunity to spill those wine on those warships at night, and then set them on fire, the fifty-five warships will be burned, and then our task will be completed." ”
General Chen said, "Well, you guys are so despicable. ”
At this time, Li Maicheng said: "General Chen, then let's quickly lead the troops to the West Sea Fish Shop and destroy the wine." ”
General Chen said, "Okay, I'll send some troops to protect those ships." ”
At this time, Guo Yiqian fell in the dungeon and was already dead, and General Chen sent his subordinate Captain Zhou Wushui with five hundred soldiers to protect those warships, while General Chen, Li Maicheng, Zhou Xiaotian and a few of them took two hundred soldiers to the West Sea Fish Shop, and they rode horses one by one, through the lively and bustling street, and finally came to the West Sea Fish Shop. Then one hundred and fifty soldiers surrounded the fish shop in the sea of Naxi.
And General Chen, Li Maicheng, Su Chengxuan, and Wu Shitong and a few of them with fifty soldiers entered the fish shop in the West Sea to find the location of the cellar.
They searched carefully in the fish shop, and Li Maicheng looked at a large water tank in the fish shop, and there were many fish in it, so he was very curious, so he moved the big water tank, and a hole was revealed underneath.
Then Wu Shitong took the Qiankun axe and slashed the hole fiercely, and after a few splits, a big hole was split.
Then General Chen, Li Maicheng and a few of them found a few wooden sticks from the fish shop and lit them as torches, and went down into the cellar.
After Li Maicheng entered the cellar, he smelled the smell of wine, and he shone it forward with a torch, and suddenly there were many wine jars in front of him.
Li Maicheng opened a wine jar, shone it with a torch, and found that the jar was full of wine.
Seeing this, Li Maicheng said to General Chen, "General Chen, what are you going to do with these wines?"
General Chen thought for a moment and said, "Smash all these wine jars, I'll call the soldiers to come in and smash them." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, let's do it." ”
Then General Chen came out of the cellar and called fifty soldiers into the cellar, and then the soldiers picked up the wine jars and threw them so hard that the ground was full of broken wine jars, and the cellar became wet.
Each of them
They all threw with all their might, and in a short time the two hundred jars of wine were broken.
General Chen saw that those wine jars were broken, and then said to Li Maicheng: "Maicheng, these wine jars have been broken, what plan do you have for coming down?"
Li Maicheng said: "Fortunately, we have smashed these wine jars, if those spies succeed and burn the fifty-five warships at night, then Qianghai City will be in danger, not only will Qingxin Island not be recovered, but the Huang King will also send warships to attack Qianghai City, so that the entire Qianghai City will become a sea of fire, and the Huang King will also reuse demons, your current 20,000 troops are obviously not their opponents." ”
General Chen said, "Brother Maicheng, what should we do?"
Li Maicheng said: "I think you have to spend two more to build thirty warships, and those fifty-five warships are not enough at all." ”
General Chen said, "Okay then. What if the ship is built?"
Li Maicheng said: "At that time, we can take the initiative to attack that Qingxin Island and drive away the enemy on that island." ”
General Chen said: "Brother Maicheng, your strategy is very useful, so how can you resist their demon army, you have also seen, they have brown-headed gull essence, and there are Huangyu essence, and there are thousands of brown-headed gulls and Huangyu in this Qianghai Lake, if many of them have cultivated to refinement, then it will be difficult for us to resist them." ”
Li Maicheng said: "General Chen, although you can rest assured to build those thirty warships, I and a few of my junior disciples plan to go to the West Sea Dragon Palace, which is also at the bottom of the Qianghai Lake, we will call their dragon clan to help, so that even if the demon army of the Huang King is powerful, we can defeat it, and we will definitely be able to recover Qingxin Island." ”
General Chen said: "Okay, then I will go to the palace to report to the King of the Qiang Sea and ask him to give an order to build thirty warships." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, then my junior brothers and I will go back to the inn." ”
General Chen said, "Okay then. ”
Then Li Maicheng, Zhou Xiaotian, Su Chengxuan, Wu Shitong, and the four of them left the Xihai Fish Shop and went back to the Hucheng Inn.
Back at the Lake City Inn, the sky gradually darkened, and the sunset fell in the Qianghai Lake on the edge of the Qianghai City, which was extremely beautiful.
That nightset dyed Qianghai Lake red, Li Maicheng opened the window and enjoyed the sunset with Bai Ruoxue, Li Maicheng looked at the sunset, and said to Bai Ruoxue: "Ruoxue, then the sunset is beautiful." ”
Bai Ruoxue exclaimed: "The sunset on the lake is so beautiful, it's simply beautiful." ”
Li Maicheng nodded and said, "Yes, by the way, Ruoxue, we will go to the West Sea Dragon Palace tomorrow morning, and I am going to take you with me." ”
Bai Ruoxue said: "That's great, there must be a lot of treasures in the West Sea Dragon Palace." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Yes, the West Sea is a salty lake, and the West Sea has nurtured this land, there are many fish in it, and there are many birds living on the island in the lake, including white cranes, swans, egrets, red-crowned cranes, brown-headed gulls, fish gulls, and magpies." ”
Bai Ruoxue said: "Okay, then we can also go to the small island in the lake to play in the future, maybe there is a hot spring on it." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Maybe, but in a few days, we will take a warship to attack Naqingxin Island, which is the homeland of Qianghai City, which was seized by Huangcheng, and the Huangwang still has an army of demons, so it will be extremely difficult for us to help the Qianghai King subdue the Qingxin Island, so we have to go to the West Sea Dragon Palace to find the West Sea Dragon King for help." ”
Bai Ruoxue said: "Okay then, but I heard that Senior Brother Chengxuan said that the Dragon King of the West Sea has a daughter named Zi Yan, I'm afraid we will meet her if we go this time." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Yes, I will see her." ”
Bai Ruoxue said: "Okay then." ”
The two of them were chatting in the house watching the sunset, when Su Cheng knocked on the door and called them downstairs to eat.
Li Maicheng immediately replied: "Chengxuan, I know, Ruoxue and I will go downstairs to eat." ”
Then Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxue went downstairs, and at this time, Master Zhang Qian and the soldiers of the mission, they were already sitting at the dinner table, ordering a lot of dishes, and waiting for them to come.
After Li Maicheng sat down, he said to Master Zhang Qian: "Master, then everyone should start eating, you're welcome." ”
Zhang Qian said: "Okay, by the way, what have you gained today?"
Li Maicheng replied: "Master, the customs clearance document has been stamped, but more than a dozen spies have been found in this Qianghai City, fortunately, General Chen Yongzhong has arrested them, we interrogated those spies, and found that the King of Huang has an army of demons, and the King of Qianghai wants to subdue the Qingxin Island, and must find a way to defeat the demon army." ”
Zhang Qian said: "Okay, Namaicheng, what are you going to do?"
Li Maicheng replied: "Master, I decided to help them recover that Qingxin Island and deal with that demon army, relying on a few of us, we may not be able to defeat it, so I decided to take a few brothers to the West Sea Dragon Palace under the Qianghai Lake tomorrow morning to ask the West Sea Dragon King for help." ”
Zhang Qian said: "Okay, then who will stay to protect us." ”
Li Maicheng replied: "The giant ape monster, Jin Xiqing, and Zhou Xiaotian, the three of them stayed behind to protect the master and the soldiers of the mission in this Lake City Inn. And Koi, Chengxuan, Ruoxue, and Shitong, the four of them are very good at water, and Chengxuan also knows the Dragon King of the West Sea, so the five of us can better persuade the Dragon King of the West Sea to send crab soldiers and shrimp generals, and the dragon clan will help us defeat the demon army of the Huang King. ”
Zhang Qian said: "Okay, then let's do it tomorrow." ”
Li Maicheng and the others ate a sumptuous dinner, drank wine, and after they were full, they all went back to the guest room and fell asleep.
In that room, Li Maicheng opened the window and looked at the stars outside the window, while Bai Ruoxue poured two glasses of water and sat in front of the window to watch the stars in the sky.
Li Maicheng said: "Ruoxue, is the sky full of stars beautiful?"
Bai Ruoxue replied: "It's very beautiful, we shouldn't have been to the Heavenly Palace for a while." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Yes, there are many immortals living in the Heavenly Palace, and there are many Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, and many of those Heavenly Soldiers are mortal flowers, plants, demon beasts cultivated into immortals, and then went to the Heavenly Palace to become heavenly soldiers." Therefore, many of those immortals are from the human world, and many of them have also suffered a lot of calamities before they cultivated into immortals and went to the heavenly palace to become immortals. ”
Bai Ruoxue said: "Namaicheng, are you willing to be an immortal?"
Li Maicheng said: "I didn't think about it, I am just a mortal, and I am also an ordinary person, I have flesh and blood, I also have seven emotions and six desires, and I also have birth, old age, sickness and death, I don't want to be a god, but I only ask me to protect you well in this life, love you well, and do what I can, protect the people, adhere to the avenue, and uphold justice." ”
Bai Ruoxue said: "Well, in fact, I also think simply, my father is the king of Xilian Kingdom, and my mother used to be a fox demon in Mocheng City, and then my mother fell in love with my father and gave birth to me, I became a princess, and then I met you, I found that this world is so beautiful, it turns out that there are more things than peach blossom brewing, that is, love." Meeting you is the greatest happiness in my life, and falling in love with you makes me so happy every day. So I don't seek fame and fortune, I just need to live happily with you, that's enough. ”
Li Maicheng was very moved when he heard this, and then he affectionately hugged Bai Ruoxue into his arms, and then the two of them snuggled together and looked at the stars in the sky.
