Chapter 422: Rooftop
So Shen Zhu took the nine brothers and hid in a pile of haystacks in the field, and discussed in a low voice what to do. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"If they hadn't noticed us this time, they might have thought we had left before they knew it, so we just need to find a place to hide for a few days now and come out when the news passes." Wu Biao said.
Li Daneng nodded in agreement.
Bai Yugang shook his head and said, "But where to hide?" They don't even let go of every inch of land deep in the mountains, and the towns naturally won't relax. ”
Wu Biao said: "It's really not good, just like now, running away and hiding, playing hide and seek with them." ”
"No, it's too dangerous." Shen Zhu said busily.
Everyone looked at Shen Zhu.
Shen Zhu said in a low voice: "They are mainly searching for us on the ground now, but we can leave the ground and hide, such as hiding on the roof. ”
Everyone nodded their heads one after another.
If they didn't want to attract the attention of others, they couldn't hide from the roofs of the houses where they lived, so they went out to the countryside overnight to look for them.
Eventually, they decided to hide on the roof of an old temple in the village of Elaine.
The temple has been abandoned for many years, but the Buddha statues in the temple are still there, and some neighboring villagers come to burn incense and worship on the fifteenth day of the new year, so when they arrived, they found a few plates of fruit and sweets in front of the shrine.
It was just enough food for them, so they took them to the roof.
In order to prevent attention, they were divided into five groups lying on their stomachs in different positions, so that they could see the situation from different angles.
The roof is italic, and in order to prevent the body from sliding, they have placed something on the soles of their feet to rest their feet. In order not to be seen by the people in the distant mountains, they wore clothes of a similar color to the tiles, and lay motionless for a long time.
It's actually quite tiring to lie down for too long, not to mention that the roof is not smooth, and it is not comfortable to lie down, so they have to rub their whole body with their hands every time they lie down for more than an hour, otherwise their whole body hurts.
"In the past, when I tracked them down overnight, I didn't know how much I hoped to get a good night's sleep, but now I have time to sleep but I wish I could walk around, and I won't be satisfied with what life is." Li Daneng said with emotion.
The crowd laughed.
Shen Zhu said: "You might as well think like this - I never had the opportunity and mood to take a good look at the day sky and the night sky at night, but now I finally have the opportunity to see it." ”
"Yes, yes, that's what you should think." Wu Biao echoed.
Everyone looked up at the sky, carefully watching the color change of the sky after every inch of time passed, carefully watching the change of each white cloud in the sky, carefully watching the sunrise and sunset, the moon and stars. Day after day, time passed, and they slowly found the taste in it, and began to like this seemingly idle day of watching the sky.
Compared with their leisure, Wang Zhaoteng and his henchmen are as anxious as ants on a hot pot these days.
Since the whole city has searched for the secret agents sent by the imperial court, the king Ling and the others can't help but suspect that these secret agents left long before the emperor wrote a letter, then, if you analyze it according to this speculation, the emperor must have already known about the king of Ling's private soldiers.
It is not uncommon for vassal kings to raise private soldiers, there were two vassal kings who did this during the reign of the first emperor, and one of them immediately returned to Beijing to confess his guilt. The other not only refused to admit his guilt, but also found various reasons to excuse himself, and the emperor was furious and immediately sentenced him to death.
If according to the temperament of the previous emperor, as long as Wang Zhao Teng is willing to return to Beijing in person to admit his mistake and hand over the private soldiers, he may be able to avoid the death penalty, but the temperament of the present is ......
Everyone was a little undecided.
Ling Wang Zhao Teng pondered with a tense face, and the others thought of a way while observing Ling Wang's expression.
"Lord Wang, what do you think of yourself?" Shen Da asked the general soldier.
Ling Wang Zhao Teng said: "Today, he is sensitive and suspicious, and the city government is deep, it is really difficult to grasp his attitude, we are afraid that we can't treat it passively, and we can't afford to gamble." ”
Zhang Shihe said approvingly: "Yes, we can only take it by force at the moment, so Lord Wang, take the initiative to attack according to your wishes." ”
If not, I'm afraid there will be only one dead end.
This was the first time that Zhang Shihe completely agreed with Ling Wang's opinion, and while Wang was relieved, he also realized that the situation was unusual, and his heart suddenly swelled with infinite sorrow, and at the same time he knew very well that this was the moment he had been waiting for for a long time. Since God has given him such an opportunity, he can only act decisively.
Now, there are 130,000 private soldiers here in King Ling, and there are more than 500,000 soldiers in the capital.
However, how can they carry out a secret attack when the emperor is already on guard against them?
The king and his men immediately began to discuss the matter.
The situation was so urgent that there was no room for them to discuss it in detail, so they all got straight to the point.
In the end, they unanimously decided to send troops to the capital in secret first, and then send a reply to the emperor, with an interval of three days. After King Ling sent the letter, King Ling also went to the capital in disguise. In this way, when the emperor received the letter, the king had to go to the capital, and he had to arrive at the palace a little earlier than the letter.
In this way, time becomes the most important condition for determining the success or failure of this matter.
King Ling sent 100,000 private soldiers to the capital from four directions that night.
The remaining 30,000 soldiers stayed in Xiliang to hold the base area.
In this reply letter, the king told the emperor that his number of troops was less than 50,000, and the rest of the data was reported truthfully.
That night, Wang Zhaoteng and his subordinates did not stay overnight until everything was arranged before they went to the wing room of the prince's mansion to rest for a while.
This time, Wang Zhao Teng brought his eldest son Zhao Jing back to Beijing together.
"At that time, I will sneak into the palace, and you will do external response outside the palace, in case I have three long and two short, you will attack ......" Zhao Teng carefully instructed Zhao Jing.
Zhao Jing also knew that the situation was serious, and nodded solemnly again and again.
Three days after King Ling's letter to the emperor was sent, King Ling, Zhao Jing, Zhang Shihe, and Shen Da and his party easily pretended to rush to the capital overnight.
The night was dark and the wind was high, and when King Ling and his party walked out of Xiliang, King Ling Ma turned around and glanced at his vassal territory.
His eyes were full of all kinds of complicated emotions, he didn't know the bad luck of his going, and he had no other choice.
Farewell! He said in his heart that he couldn't help but feel uneasy when he thought of the princess who was waiting for his return, but he could no longer retreat, so he turned his heart and turned to continue on his way.
