0271 I'm a guest with those left behind
Near Nandunhuafang in Xijing City, the drum sound is like thunder, the galloping horses are neighing, the voices are boiling, and there is quite the momentum of ten thousand horses galloping.
Of course, it is impossible for there to be more than 10,000 cavalry in Xijing City today, but Li Tong really lacks much experience in the Rong brigade, and it is really difficult to judge how many soldiers have gathered here through the voice.
But he and Wu Youyi ran towards it together, and when they were still some distance away from Dunhuafang, the side streets were already full of cavalry soldiers who had been ordered to gather here, and the wide streets were even congested because of this.
As a visitor from later generations, to be honest, Li Tong really had never seen such a scene of thousands of people gathering in large numbers. It can't be said absolutely, I still saw some big scenes when I attended the ceremony in the gods, but the occasion of that kind of ceremony was mainly solemn and solemn, and it could not give people a sense of grandeur.
At present, riding horses in this torrent of riders, even if these soldiers do not obey his orders, and it is not a military expedition to promote the border fortress, Li Tong still can't help but have a Jin Ge Iron Horse excitement in his heart, and his mood is very excited.
However, Wu Youyi, who was traveling with him, did not feel this way at all, and whipped the horse all the way, but the armor on his body was heavy, and his riding skills were also so-so, running too fast, several times crooked, his center of gravity was out of balance, and he almost fell off the horse. Li Tong saw it in his eyes, and his mood was also ups and downs, and at the end, he could only sigh that this guy's life was really hard.
"Hurry, hurry! If there is the slightest mistake in the official treasury of Dunhuafang, be careful of your dog's life! ”
almost rolled over and dismounted, Wu Youyi was also terrified in his heart, and he didn't dare to gallop again, but shouted orders to the soldiers around him.
All the way to the noisy, finally arrived at Dunhua Fang, at this time the door of the fang has been wide open, the inside and outside lights are bright, the riders are scattered around the fang wall, and many other foot soldiers poured into the fang.
"How's the official treasury?"
Finally arrived here, Wu Youyi couldn't stand it anymore, the whole person was lying on horseback, and he couldn't even straighten his waist, but he barely raised his head, and asked the commander who came forward in a weak tone.
"The official treasury did not suffer, but the fire was in a shed in Lizheng Square in the north, where a large amount of forage was stored, and the fire was difficult to save together......
Hearing the commander's answer, Wu Youyi was excited, and the whole person straightened up from the horse: "What? Why not tell us sooner? Stupid, stupid...... Oh! ”
His posture was beating too violently, and he had traveled all the way to this point, his strength had been lost, and his inertia was stimulated, and the whole person could no longer stabilize his body, and fell directly off the horse.
When Li Tong saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh at Ansheng, was he surprised, surprised?
After all, he is still a little reluctant to make material resources, Dunhuafang official treasury has recently collected millions of pounds of hemp goods, if a fire burns out, it will be a pity, so choose to set fire in Linfang to make trouble, one is to get it safe, and it is convenient for personnel to evacuate, and the other is also beneficial to the future situation.
After all, it is only to attract Wu Youyi to mobilize troops in Xijing here, as long as this goal can be achieved, it does not make much difference whether the official treasury is burned or not. Especially on this night, there are others secretly helping to burn Wu Youyi's private treasury first, and the current situation is better than directly burning the official treasury. It can be seen that everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and it still depends on a lot of people to do things.
The surrounding soldiers gathered up, and Wu Youyi was lifted up with seven hands and eight feet, but his person was completely unstable on his feet, and he simply touched the armor on his body, and Wu Youyi's body after removing the armor was even more rickety, especially the sweat of his body, and the whole person seemed to be salvaged out of the water, which showed how nervous he was about the safety of the official treasury here in Dunhuafang.
"Look, look...... Dunhuafang needs to be checked, are there any troublemakers, etc.? Lizheng Fang also needs to check, who lit the fire, which one caught fire, go quickly! ”
Wu Youyi waved his hand to drive, and he lay directly on the couch that the house slave moved out of the workshop, his chest rose and fell violently, and his breathing was as heavy as a bellows.
"Xijing has been really eventful this night!"
Li Tong also dismounted, and Youzai Youzai walked over, of course, his expression was serious and nervous: "Now I just hope that this night will pass quickly, after dawn, under the big sun, it will be difficult to survive!" ”
"yes, I just hope for ...... day"
Wu Youyi's tone was still weak, but his eyes gradually became fierce: "After dawn, we must strictly investigate the whole city, which one is playing tricks, I will kill them!" ”
Li Tong raised his hand and patted Wu Youyi's shoulder and back to help him calm down, it's you and me, but you just don't know, where is this, there are bigger surprises waiting for you.
A large number of soldiers gathered here, the efficiency is also very high, Lizheng Fang quickly found out the reason, the fire is an industry under the name of the Inspiration Temple, mainly raising cattle and horses, so the amount of accumulated forage and the like is large, and the momentum after burning up is also very great. The fire has not yet been extinguished, and the soldiers can only demolish the buildings and sprinkle sand to put out the fire outside the garden.
A fat, clothed monk was escorted up, looking terrified, and threw himself on the ground to defend himself. But now Wu Youyi was tossed so full of anger that he couldn't vent it, and now he just regained some strength, so he vented all his strength on this monk, whipping the monk and rolling all over the ground.
As for Dunhua Fang, it is also simpler, there are not many households in the square, and the number of soldiers in the left is abundant, so all the residents will be expelled, and the guards of Xijing will enter to surround several official warehouses.
"King Hedong, you have no shortage of wisdom, according to what you see, who is doing the trouble this night?"
After venting, Wu Youyi sat down again, and the official warehouse made him feel at ease, and he also had the spirit to pursue others.
After Li Tong heard this, he shook his head and said: "I have been in Xijing for a short time, and I have been worried about the Qujiang gathering, and I am still ignorant of the robbery, how can I expect anything else." ”
"Someone is treacherous and doesn't want me and the king of Hedong to become in the current affairs."
Wu Youyi's eyes were cold, and he didn't know what the hell he had in his heart.
Li Tong raised his eyes to look north, in addition to the nearly two squares brightly lit and lively, most of the area of Xijing was still immersed in the night.
Chang'an City is too big, and it is really difficult to control it with a mere number of troops, coupled with the random dispatch of such a living treasure as Wu Youyi, which makes the distribution of troops more porous. At this moment, a large number of soldiers are gathered here, and there is a high ground in the east of the city, which is blocked by Leyouyuan, and it is not easy to calmly calm the chaos.
He was still thinking here, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded in his ears, and he heard a hurried voice: "Is it here to stay?" The East City has been alarmed, there are thieves making trouble in the city, and the north and south gates are being attacked, and the defense is insufficient......"
Hearing this urgent sound, Li Tong secretly raised his arms and clenched his fists, and made a grimace at Tang Lingshu, who had been following closely behind him.
As for Wu Youyi, he had already slapped his knees and scolded: "How many thieves have infiltrated Xijing? Can you live this night? There is no spare power here, let those merchants in the East Market gather their own mercenary forces to help catch thieves, and only after dawn will the official army enter the market to kill thieves! ”
Hearing that there was a change in Dunhua Fang, he didn't even have time to care about the burning of his mansion, and at the moment he was bent on guarding the official treasury in the fang, and he was not in the mood to protect those merchants in the East Market.
After hearing this, the informant's face was a little ugly, and he fought for a while, but in exchange for Wu Youyi's scolding of his head and face, he didn't dare to force it anymore, so he could only turn around and leave in a huff.
But he hadn't gone far before he heard the sound of galloping horses to the north. When Wu Youyi heard this voice, his face had become extremely ugly, and he muttered, "It won't be another chaotic ......."
Before he finished speaking, the urging cry sounded again: "Is the king left behind here?" The thieves broke through the north gate of Dongshi, turned into Hengjie and attacked Chunming Gate and Longqingfang ......"
"What?"
After Wu Youyi heard this, he couldn't sit still anymore, and rushed forward directly, and said quickly: "The thieves are going to attack Longqingfang, they want to ......"
"Thieves, thieves shouting to kill the ...... left behind"
The messenger said hesitantly, and then pleaded: "Please stay behind and send the people to help!" The squares in the north of the city are empty, and they are really powerless to control the thieves! ”
"Hurry, hurry! Reinforcements, reinforcements! Quickly pass General Liu and lead the cavalry to return to help......"
Wu Youyi stomped his feet and roared, his tone was extremely hasty, and there was no other plan in his mind, and there was only one thought, that is, he must keep his garden house in Longqingfang. Some of the cheap hemp in the private inventory of Tongjifang is suspected of being burned, which has made him feel a lot of pain, if the Longqingfang garden industry, which is hoarding treasures and heavy goods, is invaded by thieves, it is simply poking his heart!
"Don't stay!"
Li Tong had been listening with his ears pricked up, and before Wu Youyi could finish speaking, he had already shouted loudly, and at the same time Kuo Xing stepped forward and grabbed Wu Youyi's shoulders and shouted: "What are the intentions of this night's chaos? Can't you see it if you stay behind! ”
"W-What intentions? Longqingfang, Longqingfang has my garden house......"
Wu Youyi's face was distorted, and the words he said were a little out of tune.
"There are riots in many places in Xijing at the same time, which shows that the thieves have been planning for a long time! Once the left-behind soldiers are dispatched to protect the furniture, if the official warehouse changes again, the crime of staying behind will be great! ”
Li Tong said with a serious expression.
"There is no change in the official warehouse, the fire is just Linfang...... No, Longqingfang Park cannot afford to lose! ”
"That's exactly what the thieves do! Stay and think to yourself, the thieves have been planning for a long time, and no one knows where the chaos is. Under the eyes of everyone, the guards who stayed behind did not care about the safety of the official treasury, but they made the pawns protect your private property, once this matter entered the divine capital, how will His Majesty the Holy Emperor look at the stay-behind? ”
Hearing the young king's persuasion, Wu Youyi only felt that a basin of ice water was poured on his head, and the whole person fell silent, so after a long while, he said astringently: "Then Longqingfang, can't it be saved?" ”
Everything that should be said has been said, looking at Wu Youyi's look like a mournful woman, Li Tong just pretended to sigh helplessly, and covered his face in annoyance and sighed: "This night, I know that manpower is poor, and Xijing has its own old feelings. ”
"Dog thief, dog thief!"
Wu Youyi drew his saber and slashed frantically to the ground, roaring angrily in his mouth, the ground was splashed with sand, and soon it was a mess, just like his angry mood at the moment.
