Chapter 377: Defeat is decided
Jian Ying was a little speechless, she casually told a lie, he could think of a "clever plan", which insulted Jing Zhi and Wen Liang's IQ, and also insulted the IQ of King Ji'an.
"Big brother has a good idea, if it were you, would you not think of taking hostages to test whether there is poison in the food first, and then eat it boldly and boldly?"
Zhou Han was speechless, clenched his fists in shame, and secretly hated her for repeatedly making his uncle faceless in front of everyone.
But someone was reminded by his words, and said to Qiu Chengming: "Lord Qiu, why don't you try the incense?" ”
"No." Qiu Cheng vetoed his proposal with righteous words, "The dignified palace, how can you use that kind of inferior means? If it spreads, won't it make people laugh? ”
"It's important to save people right now, what means do you use?" The guard muttered quietly.
Qiu Chengming's eyes glared at him sharply, "Not to mention whether the means are appropriate, the prince's study has three rooms, which are very wide, and half of the incense sticks are scattered as they go, and they won't have any effect at all, unless they burn ten or eight sticks."
Those Assassins were extraordinary, with keen senses, and how could they not notice that they had lit so much incense at the same time? No matter how fast the effect of the incense is, it can't be as fast as the knife, before they are fascinated, who dares to guarantee that they will not be angry and kill the prince?
Moreover, a large amount of incense is harmful to the body and hurts the prince's noble body, who will be responsible?
Clean out bad ideas! ”
The guard was red-faced by him, and bowed his head, not daring to speak.
The Fang clan didn't dare to risk King Ji'an's "noble body", and ordered Zhang's mother to go to the big kitchen in person. I picked up ready-made ones and made seven or eight things, with meat and vegetables, and there were dishes and soups. It was inevitable that King Ji'an had been on an empty stomach for too long, and he hurt his stomach by eating dry rice and hard vegetables, so he specially cooked a can of millet porridge, handed it to Jian Ying, and brought it in.
Just in case, I still asked Imperial Doctor Gao to test them one by one and confirm that they were really non-toxic, so I called Jing Zhi to eat them. Jing Zhi finished eating and went to guard the door. changed to Wen Liang to eat. You don't have to go to the toilet. The two of them only pick dry food to eat.
Imperial Physician Gao drank most of the bowl of porridge, and the rest, whether the porridge was rice or vegetables, let the monkey kui unceremoniously sweep into his stomach. He is growing his body, and his stomach is like a bottomless pit. After eating, I still yelled that I was not full. Nibbled on two more pastries.
As soon as the old man finishes eating, he is a little sleepy. Lean together and take a nap. Jing Zhi and Wen Liang are more energetic, seeing the six roads with their eyes and listening to all directions. Zhao Xiang and the others, who let the cat on the roof, have no chance at all.
The people sent by Liu Ge did not respond to the code several times, so they could only sneak into the palace by themselves. Standing on a high place, I saw that the lights outside the study were bright, as bright as day, and most of the guards of the palace were around the study.
Catch a subordinate and ask him, only to know that there was an assassin in the house, and he couldn't find out the specific situation, so he could only hurry up, rush back to the valley, and report the situation to Liu Geyu.
"Assassins?!" Liu Ge's eyes widened, "Didn't you say that you had a heart attack?" Why are there assassins again? ”
"Young master, it's really strange that the Ji'an Mansion is making assassins at this time. In my opinion, it must be the second young master's ghost. Shang Jin picked up the conversation, "Be careful to sail the Ten Thousand Year Ship, let's evacuate this place quickly." ”
Liu Ge is a person who is rough on the outside and fine on the inside, and after thinking about it, he also felt that Shang Jin's words made sense, so he immediately ordered: "Pass the order, let all the heads of the departments act, hide in the secret channel that has been said in advance, and stand by to act." ”
"Yes." Shang Jin agreed, and was about to go out to make arrangements, when he saw a sentry running in a panic to report, "Young master, General Shang, the big thing is not good, there is a fire on the top of the mountain, it seems that the temple is on fire." ”
"What?!" Liu Ge and Shang Jin's faces changed, and before they could speak, sentries came one after another to report.
"Young master, there is a fire in the direction of Lingyan Temple."
"There is a fire in the direction of Puzhao Temple."
"There is also a fire in the direction of Yuquan Temple."
……
Liu Ge's face was already dark, and when he heard this series of bad news, his face became even darker, "Damn, it must be that little bastard who wants to be bad for Lao Tzu." ”
Almost all of the monks who participated in the ceremony were selected from these large monasteries, and the government must thoroughly investigate this fire, and the dead people hiding in it will be exposed.
As soon as his voice fell, another sentry rushed over, "Young master, General Shang, it's not good......
Liu Ge must have reached the three words "no", his head was as big as a fight, and his voice was unconsciously raised, "Where is the fire again?" ”
"No...... Not a fire. The sentry stammered in a hurry, "Yes...... Yamaguchi, a large number of soldiers and horses were found in the mountain pass. ”
Liu Geteng stood up suddenly, "Where are the soldiers and horses coming?" How many people are there? Who is the leader of the troops? ”
"It's not clear that the people guarding the pass didn't warn them, presumably they were eliminated before they could give the signal."
Shang Jin hurriedly looked at Liu Ge, "Young Master, is it to retreat or to fight?" ”
Liu Ge squeezed his fists and squeezed them, and before the word "war" could be spoken, he was blocked back by the word "newspaper" with a long voice.
"Young master, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have entered the valley, about 50,000 horses, and the leader of the troops is Tang Huaishan, the grain envoy of Tai'an......"
Liu Ge sat back in his chair with a butt, and there were only two words in his head, "It's over!" ”
Even if each of his 10,000 elite soldiers can defeat one against two, he can't defeat 50,000, not to mention that the men and horses who come are still on the grain transport. Those people often dealt with bandits, bandits, and even gangs that robbed grain, and they were all ruthless characters, and Tang Huaishan was even better at commanding guerrilla warfare.
Shang Jin was a little calmer than him, grabbed him and said urgently: "Young master, go quickly." ”
"No, I'm not leaving." Liu Ge woke up, and his stubborn temper came up again, "Even if it is death, Lao Tzu will pull Tang Huaishan on his back." ”
"Young master, you must not be rash at this time." Shang Jin hugged him stiffly, "There is only one seedling left in the Dingguo Mansion, you can't die." You are dead, how can I explain to my grandfather under the Nine Springs?
Even for the sake of the soldiers who died tonight, you can't die.
Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, come with me, it's too late if you don't leave! ”
Although Liu Ge was reluctant and unwilling, the 50,000 horses were still unable to deal with it, and once the war started here, it would attract more imperial court troops. The defeat is decided, and he will only be left to die in vain. In order to be able to make a comeback in the future, he can only be a deserter for a while.
There was no time to clean up, so he only carried the black jade talisman and brought a team of more than a dozen personal soldiers, and climbed the cliff with Shang Jin and entered the cave. I plan to hide it in for a while, and then slowly try it out when the wind has passed.
At the same time, in the exhausted waiting of Fang Shi and the others, the first rays of morning light appeared in the east, and the atmosphere inside and outside the study suddenly became tense.
"Can't wait any longer." Zhou Han was the first to speak.
