Chapter 31: The Fire Rises
There was an old family owner in Chongzhou who came forward, and after a few words, the students left one after another, and it was late at night until the Ma family's affairs were over.
Chongzhou Grain Depot, an old man came to Chongzhou Grain Depot under the cover of night, this grain depot should be strictly forbidden fireworks, but at this time it was full of dry wood and oil.
A lightly armored sergeant came to the old man and helped the old man get out of the carriage, and the old man said, "Is all the grain in Chongzhou here?" ”
The light armored sergeant replied: "Yes, teacher, all the grain and grass in Chongzhou are in this granary, if this place is burned, the grain in the barracks is only enough for three thousand soldiers to eat for three days, it can be said that without this granary, Chongzhou City will not be attacked!" ”
The old man said, "You did a good job! But as a grain and grass officer, if the grain depot is on fire, they will not let you go, you are my student, do you have any other wishes? ”
The light armor sergeant said: "I only hope that the teacher will repay the teacher's nurturing kindness, and I have no wishes."
The old man picked up the torch, and under the firelight was a young face, and the old man said: "I will tell Lu Guogong what you did, and you should take it as the first credit to recover Chongzhou!" ”
After saying that, the old man came to the granary, and the light armor sergeant also followed, the old man pointed to a few rice bags, the light armor sergeant opened them, and the old man stepped forward, and it was full of rice. The rice was sprinkled with oil, and the old man nodded in satisfaction and withdrew, followed by the light-armored sergeant.
The old man threw the torch into the granary, and the oil was ignited, and the scorching flames raged the entire granary in the blink of an eye.
The lightly armored sergeant and the old man were forced to retreat a few steps by the flames, and looking at the burning grain depot, the Chongzhou camp not far away had already sounded drums. The light armored sergeant said: "Teacher, you leave first, the people from the big camp will arrive soon, and if you want to leave at that time, it will be too late."
When the old man heard this, he glanced at the lightly armored sergeant, jumped into the carriage, and left the granary by the darkness of the night.
Soon, several figures appeared next to the grain depot, and the lightly armored sergeant looked at Ye Lin and the others in surprise, they seemed to be waiting for the grain depot to be burned.
Ye Lin opened his mouth and said, "He is your teacher?" ”
The light armored sergeant replied: "Yes, I am the son of a criminal officer, and it was the teacher who saved my life and my family's life, and my life is the teacher's."
Ye Lin asked again, "Who is he?" ”
The light armor sergeant said: "Aren't you fighting fires?" Chongzhou's military rations are all here."
Ye Lin said: "It's not in a hurry, a few of us can't save the fire, and when the people from the big battalion come here, there will be nothing left to burn down long ago." ”
The light armor sergeant smiled, he pointed at this Ye Lin and said: "You Taoist priest is really interesting, I can't tell you my teacher's name, since you are all here, kill me!" As a grain and grass officer, it is already a capital offense for me to deliberately burn down the granary."
Ye Lin nodded and said: "I don't want to kill you, your teacher is nothing more than Zhang, Wang, Liu, Ma, one of them, who can make so many students make trouble, it is estimated that it is Mr. Liu and Mr. Wang, are they?" You tell me the answer, I'll let you live"
The sergeant shook his head and said, "You know what? Whether I burn down the granary or betray the teacher, there is only one result, that is, I die, Dao Chief, it's not that you don't give me a way to live, but when the teacher finds me, I have no choice."
"Then you will die!" Zi Yi said that, and a flying knife accurately slit the throat of the lightly armored sergeant.
The lightly armored sergeant fell to the ground softly, Ye Lin looked back, Zi Yi said coldly: "If he doesn't die, your plan is not precise enough, don't look at me with this kind of look, he is bent on death, if the Taoist chief doesn't like to see the concubine kill people, you can close your eyes next time"
Ye Lin opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything, Zi Yi was right, if he didn't die, his plan would not be precise enough, Ye Lin didn't have any feelings for the Virgin, but it was just a little uncomfortable for a living person to die in front of him.
The night is coming to an end, Ye Lin knows that the people lurking in Chongzhou City are trying to disturb the military spirit of the Chongzhou defenders, and the students who are surrounding the door of the Ma family obviously can't do this, the only thing that can crush the Chongzhou military heart is the grain and grass, surrounded on three sides, the grain and grass are destroyed, Zixuan has only one choice, abandon the city! This is which Lu Guogong wants to see the most.
