Chapter 56: Arriving in Jingzhou
There was a lot of thunder, the weather was also quite hot, and the patrolling attendants were also a little tired, after all, they didn't have any enemies here at the moment, Qin Hai was suspicious, and he didn't allow them to be lazy, otherwise they would have been lying down in the bedroom.
It was a terrible hot day, and after a few rounds of patrolling, my body was soaked with sweat.
The three of them sneaked into the courtyard and searched according to the direction of the map, and sure enough, they found a room in the courtyard, and looked in through the window, and there were more than a dozen bags of rice grain in it.
The three of them quickly spread straw around the area, and sprinkled some oil into the granary from the window to help it burn.
"I'm going to set up the lightning rods." Shangguan Yinling took two chopsticks and the copper wire they had prepared, and jumped onto the roof, while Lu Li and Duan Lang were preparing to start a fire under the house.
Shangguan Yinling took the chopsticks and inserted the lightning rod into the crack of the roof tiles, and a thunderclap sounded in the distance.
The three of them waited not far away, watching the lightning rod on the roof stand, and the thunder and lightning in the sky gradually approaching, and after waiting for a long time, finally, a thunderbolt struck down and successfully ignited the roof.
After a slight pause, the three of them approached the side of the house, took out the fire fold from their bosoms, threw one along the window, and two lit the hay on both sides of the window.
The fire spread instantly, out of control, and soon the entire room was shrouded in flames, and when the guards found out about the fire, the fire was almost out of control, Qin Hai hurriedly ran out of the bedroom, seeing that the people were already fighting the fire, he hurriedly grabbed one of them and asked.
"Why is there a fire?"
"Yes, it was lightning that struck the roof and set the house on fire!"
Qin Hai let go of his hand, and the man immediately carried water to put out the fire.
"It's out of the water! Walk the water! ”
For the sake of their food, everyone moved to the nest, lined up to catch water and put out the fire, Shangguan Yinling and others also followed the instructions on the map, sneaked into the house where Jing Xiaoyun's relatives were imprisoned, and brought people out.
Outside the door, Jing Xiaoyun's people were still waiting, and a few people sent people out, and they were immediately picked up by Jing Xiaoyun, and then, Jing Xiaoyun's people surrounded the entire courtyard.
The three of them met the old man at the gate of the backyard, and the old man helped them open the backyard door, and the people who respected Xiaoyun rushed in.
"Oh no! The people who respect the clouds have broken in! ”
Qin Hai got the news and was busy organizing people to break through, but at this moment, the heavy rain that had been held back all day suddenly came, and the downpour fell, slowly controlling the fire, Qin Hai Ding Xiaobiao took two hundred brothers and broke through from the main gate.
The brothers suffered a lot of casualties, and when Qin Hai saw Shangguan Yuling, he finally understood that this was one of his bureaus.
Once again, he let all his plans fall apart.
Wait and see, Shangguan Yinling, he won't let him go easily.
The heavy rain made the search very difficult, and Jing Xiaoyun's people were finally stopped by Qin Hai's people, and Qin Hai broke through the city gate with the rest of the people and fled north.
"Alas, let this bastard Qin Hai run away again!" Duan Lang couldn't help but scold, he thought that he could take down Qin Hai in one fell swoop this time, but he didn't expect that this Wang Ba Calf was quite a thief, he almost caught him every time, and finally let him run away.
"Actually, it's beneficial for us to let Qin Hai go." Shangguan Yinling faced the raging fire, his expression was slightly gloomy, the heavy rain gradually extinguished the fire, and the firelight gradually disappeared.
"Why?" Duan Lang couldn't help but ask, shouldn't a vicious person like Qin Hai be the best to catch?
"What is our purpose in arresting Qin Hai?" Lu Li asked Duan Lang rhetorically.
"Of course, it's the person behind the capture of Qin Hai, Red Flame!"
"But the reality is that Qin Hai, like Zheng Daji, is just a lackey of Red Flame, even if he is caught, it will not be of much help to us to find out Red Flame's identity, but once Qin Hai is caught, Red Flame will send a new lackey to replace Qin Hai. Instead of dealing with someone hidden in the shadows that we don't know, it is better to let Qin Hai continue to shine in this position. ”
"Oh~ I see." Duan Lang suddenly realized, "When did you become so resourceful?" ”
"That's because this girl is very smart." Lu Li raised his eyebrows proudly, and then found that Shangguan Yuling was laughing, and couldn't help but add a sycophant, "Of course, it's better to be taught by adults." ”
"Even so, adults teach me too." Duan Lang asked sheepishly.
The three of them smiled heartily, the night was getting darker, and when it was almost dawn, the rain had gradually stopped.
As soon as the morning dawned, the three of them said goodbye to Jing Xiaoyun and set off, riding their horses to catch up with Liang Song and them.
Jing Xiaoyun stood on the city wall and watched them walk out of the distance, until the figure gradually shrank to a black spot, and he couldn't see anything, his feet seemed to be frozen, and he didn't move a single step.
"You like that girl?" Jing Mu didn't know when she appeared behind her, she was graceful and generous, and followed Jing Xiao's gaze to the three people who were hurrying in the distance, "Yun'er, you have been introverted and cold since you were a child, you have never taken the initiative to say what you like, and if you have something you like, you won't ask for it like me and your father, this is actually not right, if you don't say many things, others will never know your mind." ”
"Mother, Miss Lu, she doesn't like me." Jing Xiaoyun lowered his eyes slightly, and the sad look in his eyes was reduced.
"Does she like anyone else?" Jing Mu said, "If she doesn't have a favorite person, you have the opportunity to become that person, you should be glad that is, why are you so sad?" ”
A word woke up the person in the dream, and Jing Xiaoyun's eyes gradually brightened.
She doesn't like anyone, doesn't that mean he still has a chance?
Jing Xiaoyun's face was full of surprise, and he hurriedly turned around and left the city wall.
Jing's mother couldn't help but smile with relief when she saw that he rarely showed such a childish look.
May he find someone he pleases on this trip.
The group caught up with Liang Song and others. They had already arrived in Jingzhou, entered the post station to rest and rectify, and when they arrived, Liang Song and others were already in Jingzhou.
Jingzhou City is farther north than Qizhou City, there is no exotic customs of Qizhou City, it is more inclined to the style of their beams, and the group arrived at this place, only to feel a little home.
"How is it, I finally arrived in Jingzhou, but the Jingzhou area is a beauty, let's go tonight?"
The two of them rode horses and followed behind Shangguan Yinling, and Duan Lang leaned next to Lu Li and asked in a subtext that only she could understand.
"That's nature, forgot our old rules?" Lu Li's expression was overjoyed, and the two exchanged glances, and they already knew each other.
In the evening, after dinner, Lu Li sent Liang Song back to the room early to rest, she exchanged looks with Duan Lang, and took the initiative to stay to help the steward clean up the table.
"My lord, it's not early, you're tired from a day's journey, hurry back to your room and rest."
Lu Li said in a fake way, Shangguan Yuling raised his eyes to look at her, his expression was light, and finally he didn't say anything, and went upstairs to the bedroom to rest.
The two deliberately sat downstairs for a while, estimating that everyone upstairs was asleep, before getting up and preparing to go out.
"It's late at night, where are you going?"
