Hou Dagui didn't know that he had been deceived. Just this morning, Wu Liangjie asked him for leave, saying that he was caught with a cold last night, and he was unwell and couldn't go out to exercise, but in fact, the current Wu Liangjie is walking in the streets and alleys of Jianzhou City with a hundred times more energy.

In the early morning, Jianzhou City is lonely and desolate, with few pedestrians. On the one hand, this is because the various tribes go out of the city to practice, and on the other hand, it is also because the people in the city are strictly forbidden to be foot. Wu Liangjie strode across the two streets with his head held high, and met two groups of soldiers, and the officers leading the team stopped and greeted him in the whole team.

After hundreds of steps through the Qingyang Gate in the east, you will arrive at the Erxian Temple. These two ancestral halls are enshrined in Li Bi and Yang Ruzhen. These two were respectively in Zhengde, Wanli years as Jianzhou governor, during the term of office to "expand the city, destroy obscenity, build a righteous warehouse, Lishi learning, strike out of the harsh, set up a nursing home, build roads and plant cypress" and other beneficial policies, so they were offered incense by the people.

Adjacent to the Erxian Temple is the famous Kanesan Academy. The academy was founded at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and until the two Song Dynasty, it was the state school, and it was destroyed in the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Since the restoration of the early Ming Dynasty, the Huangshang Temple in the south of the city has been moved to the current site, and has been continuously built, and now it has been quite large-scale.

Zhao Ying entered the city, and the officials and gentlemen who originally taught state studies either fled or were coerced into the camp. It covers a wide area here, and the courtyard is empty, so Zhao Ying chose to make a grain storage point.

There are three grain storage points in Jianzhou City, one is this Jianshan Academy, the second is the original official Yicang, and the third is the fire temple not far from the Bell and Drum Tower. Among them, because of its proximity to the entrance of Zhaoying's broken city, Jianshan Academy occupies an advantageous location, so it hoards most of the grain, and the rest that cannot be put is transferred to the other two places.

Wu Liangjie stopped at Jianshan Academy.

Now, his face was expressionless, but his heart was really shaking like a storm crashing on the shore - he decided to burn all the grain and straw of the Kanesan Academy.

There is no shortage of lessons from the past to what will happen to the rebels, but Wu Liangjie had to take risks out of self-preservation. Because of his bump into Qin Shilu, he sat on the edge of the bed all night last night. In the end, when the first rays of sunlight shone into his house through the window screen, he made up his mind to do this vote, not only to save himself, but also to snatch Zhang Miaobai from Zhao Dangshi.

He loves Zhang Miaobai so much that he has done a lot of shady things for her. It can be said that for Zhang Miaobai, he is willing to give everything he has. It's a pity that Zhang Miaobai doesn't think so.

Wu Liangjie knew that Zhang Miaobai had only valued the status of Zhao Dangshi's side from beginning to end, and he was just a chess piece for her to achieve her goal. However, for a long time, he was willing to be this pawn for her to drive. He just wanted to stay with Zhang Miaobai, and he would be satisfied with a thumbs up or a gentle look from her. However, Qin Shilu, who was killed halfway, disrupted his overall plan.

According to his worst estimate, the alert Qin Shilu will be suspicious of his actions late at night, and then follow the vine to find out what the outcome of his attempt with Zhang Miaobai will be, you can imagine. He is afraid of death, and even more so of being separated from his beloved forever, so he must be desperate to prevent it from happening, even if the cause of all this is only a worry or speculation in his mind.

If he was just afraid of being investigated, he could have walked away, but he couldn't let go of Zhang Miaobai. Let him leave Zhang Miaobai to live alone, even for one day, he will feel that life is worse than death. He wants to find a way to get the best of both worlds, both to save his life and to take back the woman he loves.

The method he thought of was to burn Zhao Ying's grain.

After serving in the rear camp for such a long time, Wu Liangjie is very clear about the strength of Zhao Ying's logistics. He had looked at the account books a few days ago, and knew that once the grain and straw hoarded in the Jianshan Academy were burned out, then the current Zhao Ying would definitely collapse in an instant. Zhao Dangshi was too busy to take care of himself, how could he spare his spare energy to settle accounts with him? And he can also take advantage of Zhao Ying's anxiety to snatch Zhang Miaobai and escape. The world is big, there is always a place to stay, as long as there are beautiful people with you, even if you wander the world.

An hour ago, he was ready to flee in his dwelling, and he also put two fire folds in his sleeve. His plan was to enter the Kanesan Academy first and start a fire, which required some skill and could not be burned immediately. So he also put a packet of flamming fire nitrate in his arms, which was used as an introduction. This way he clicked the lead when he went out, and he had enough time to escape. At the corner of Jianshan Academy, he tied a horse under the tree, came out of the door, walked more than a dozen steps on the horse, galloped back to his residence, took the bags hidden in the outdoor haystack, drove straight to the west of the city, pulled Zhang Miaobai, and then fled with her out of the Desheng Gate in the west.

Wu Liangjie first firmly believed that the sesame officers guarding the Desheng Gate would not dare to stop him, and he also firmly believed that it would be difficult for the troops in the northeast to react and catch up with him in a short time, and at the same time, he firmly believed that the few soldiers left in the city would be in a hurry to put out the fire and not care about pursuing him.

With these considerations, Wu Liangjie finally gave it a go. If this happens, Zhao Dangshi will definitely not be able to trouble himself again, and his life can be saved. Second, it also completely severed the connection between Zhang Miaobai and Zhao Dangshi. In a sense, killing two birds with one stone. Although there is an extremely high risk, Wu Liangjie's mind has been completely disrupted now, and it is impossible to take half a step back.

"Mr. Wu, you're here." On duty at Jianshan Academy this morning was an old subordinate of Wu Liangjie, although Wu Liangjie is no longer in charge of grain and grass, but Yu Wei is still there.

"Hmm. I have something important, and Wang Qian always asks me to count the grain. Wu Liangjie pretended to be indifferent.

"But you can always ...... you now" Respect is respect, the officer is still very responsible, the grain and grass storage place is a military place, and Wu Liangjie is not in charge of this part now

"Mr. Wang Qian, they are all practicing on the school field now, and they can't leave, I am free here, and I am relatively familiar with affairs, so I came over for him." Wu Liangjie found that the other party was a little reluctant, and he panicked, but his face was solemn, pretending to be impatient, "Just check a few small places, it's good in a moment." Now Mr. Wang Qian and they are waiting on the school grounds, what, do you still have to call them all, please let them go? ”

After all, the officer's position is low, and Wu Liangjie's authority sometimes overlaps with money and food, so the officer thought for a while, but he still relented, and said: "How dare the little one, just put the general in." He originally wanted to let the soldiers on the left and right search his body, but looking at Wu Liangjie's frowning brows, he didn't have the courage, and with a wave of his hand, the two soldiers behind him opened the door.

Wu Liangjie had a dark face and strode inside, and there were a few soldiers in the front courtyard of the academy, and when they saw him, they hurriedly whispered hello. He didn't agree, and turned back. Along the way, there were several courtyards, all stacked like mountains of grain bags, and he could not do it, because he knew that as long as the fire came together, these courtyards would be burned to pieces, and the further back they went, the fewer people were, and the fire could be lit in the deepest part.

As he expected, when he arrived at the back court, it was empty, and here, it occupied the largest area and had the largest backlog of grain. He was overjoyed, looked left and right, suppressed his excitement, took out the cloth bag containing fire nitrate from his arms with trembling hands, spread it out and placed it on the ground, and at the same time took out the fire fold from his sleeve, took off the bamboo cover and blew it gently on his head, and the head of the fire fold lit up with a few points of fire.

"Zhao Dangshi, if you want to blame, blame you for robbing my woman!" Wu Liangjie gritted his teeth, but a smug smile appeared on his face. He knew how hard and painstaking Zhao Dangshi was in order to develop and grow Zhao Ying, but such a dismal operation would be destroyed in his own hands. Thinking of this, he faintly felt a little guilty, but at the same time a little happy.

At the thought of finally being able to monopolize Zhang Miaobai, he trembled with excitement, blew the fire fold twice, and was about to make a move, but a sound rose in the back of his head, like a slap in the head: "What are you doing!" ”

"Huh?" He was almost like a thunderbolt from the sky, his heart was shocked, he withdrew his hand like an electric shock, turned his head in astonishment, and saw a few steps away, a man was leaning against the pillar of the court, glaring at him. And this person is the white dragon.

Like Zhou Wenhe, Bai Jiaolong was also seriously injured in the Battle of Baocheng a few months ago and has not been able to go into battle so far. He didn't recover as fast as Zhou Wenhe, and he couldn't go to the school this morning, but he was already able to walk, so he walked slowly on the street. When he walked to Jianshan Academy, he suddenly found that Wu Liangjie had entered it, and he was suspicious and followed behind. It's just that I can't go fast, so I arrived at this time. It was better to come early than to come by chance, and I happened to witness Wu Liang's abstinent behavior.

"I, I'm ......" Wu Liangjie put his hands behind his back, facing Bai Jiaolong. It came so suddenly, he turned pale and stumbled, not knowing what to say.

Bai Jiaolong said angrily: "You take the fire fold, do you want to set it on fire?" "His body is injured, but his eyes are not blind, and he will never be wrong about the common daily necessities such as fire folds.

"I'm not, I'm ......" people have been stolen, and so far, Wu Liangjie can't make up any reason if he wants to explain. His mind was racing, and he found that there was no one else behind the white dragon, and his murderous heart suddenly rose.

Bai Jiaolong felt that his face changed sharply, and he was on guard in his heart, and was about to pull out his waist knife, when Wu Liangjie on the opposite side had already flashed his dagger to kill.

"What a thief, you dare to commit murder!" Bai Jiaolong shouted, turned sideways and tried to hide, but his injuries were not healed, and as soon as Bu moved violently, the wound was immediately pulled and caused great pain. The pain made him move sluggishly, and his bulky body could not escape Wu Liangjie's full force, and the cold dagger instantly penetrated from his lower abdomen, bringing incomparable anxiety.

Wu Liangjie clenched his teeth, his face was like a fierce beast, he threw the white dragon to the ground and stabbed him twice in a row. Bai Jiaolong endured the severe pain, wrapped a pair of hands around Wu Liangjie's neck, and scolded: "Dog thief, don't think about setting fire!" As he spoke, he opened his mouth mixed with blood foam and gnawed hard at Wu Liangjie's neck.

"Hmm!" Wu Liangjie reacted quickly, and pushed Bai Jiaolong away, but he was still a step slower, and tore off a large piece of the other party's belt meat. The pain in his heart immediately brought tears to his eyes, and his afterglow swept to his chest, which was already full of red.

"Don't let him call anyone!"

The strongest thoughts kept flashing in Wu Liangjie's mind, the extreme desire to survive had made him forget everything, he saw that Bai Jiaolong was still lying on the ground panting, his eyes were fierce, and he pounced again, pressing Bai Jiaolong underneath.

After this back and forth, the scabbed wounds on the whole body broke open almost at the same time, and the plain white clothes were also spotted with countless blood stains constantly oozing out. He tried his best to stretch Wu Liangjie apart with both hands, but his former strength was gone. Hearing only the sound of "fluttering", Wu Liangjie slashed his abdomen with a knife, and he almost fainted with a flower in front of his eyes, but his strong will still supported him and roared tenaciously and stuck his fingers into Wu Liangjie's eyes.

Wu Liangjie scolded, waved his hand, the dagger was everywhere, and the three fingers of the white dragon were broken together, but the white dragon could no longer feel the pain, and he bowed down with all his strength and hit Wu Liangjie's chest. Wu Liangjie was suddenly hit hard, and fell backwards on his back, but he stabbed Bai Jiaolong in the thigh in time and pulled his body back.

"Thief, Zhao Ying's food, how can you ......" Bai Jiaolong's tears rained down, and his face was already flushed. He felt like his whole body had been drained, and he had lost any strength. The whole person is soft, like lying on thick cotton wool, but the chest and abdomen are as heavy as a thousand catties.

Wu Liangjie's face was distorted, he didn't give Bai Jiaolong a chance to continue talking, his left hand covered his mouth desperately, allowing the white Jiaolong below to make a "whimpering" sound, and his right hand clutched the dagger and wiped it into Bai Jiaolong's throat.

One, two, three......

The white dragon under his body gradually lost his sound, and his chest, which was still rising and falling violently, was also smooth and static.

Wu Liangjie's eyes widened as if they were about to pop out, and he trembled and threw the blood-stained dagger aside. At this time, he found that his whole body was also soaked in black and red as if he was swimming in a sea of blood.

"Burn, burn the grain and grass......" In his mind, a voice sent a ghost to instruct him to crawl to the ground and get up, to grope for the fire fold that was thrown on the ground. But at the moment when he stretched out his hand, he only heard a throbbing sound of "pop", and his neck was as if it was entangled by a python, so tight that it was difficult to breathe.
