Uprising Chapter 72 Sparks in the Plains (2)
After Fang Jie led the rebel army into Datian County, as Xu Ziling expected, all the cadres in the county government were dragged to the street to be killed and beheaded for public display, and some were even disemboweled.
After arranging the sergeants for the vigil, the Manichaeans dispersed to various households in Daejeon County under the pretext of staying overnight, preparing to recruit the young and strong men of the county into the rebel army.
Xu Ziling settled down in the county mansion with Fang Jie, preparing to occupy the magpie's nest and rest for one night.
In the lobby, Fang Jie sat on the main seat, listening to the reports of the Manichaeans, and discussing the next move with Xu Ziling and Liu Ying.
Fang Jie asked Xu Ziling: "Brother Xu, at this time, Special Envoy Lu should have attracted the attention of the Secret Investigation Department in Ninghai County, what should we do next, go back to Ninghai County to rescue him?" ”
Xu Ziling pondered for a long time and said, "Why don't you take advantage of the fact that the official army has not yet reacted and directly attack Taizhou City?" ”
"What are you kidding," Fang Jie shook his head and said in surprise: "How can our righteous army's current strength and equipment be able to capture Taizhou City?" ”
Liu Yingdao next to him: "According to the opinion of my subordinates, why don't you take the county near Taizhou first, coerce the young and strong in the city, and then map Taizhou after strengthening the righteous army?" ”
Fang Jie nodded and said, "I think Deacon Liu's suggestion is sound. ”
Xu Ziling didn't know anything about the army, but he also knew the reason for the speed of the soldiers, and said: "No, if we don't attack Taizhou, we will turn around and fight Ninghai County. If the rebel army was active in the cities and counties around Taizhou, it would be difficult to ensure that it would not be surrounded and suppressed by the official army. ”
Fang Jie thought for a while and said to Liu Ying: "What Brother Xu said also makes sense, it is better to go north to attack Ninghai County and rescue Special Envoy Lu." ”
Liu Ying shook his head and said: "At this time, we should focus on the overall situation, if we don't break through Taizhou City as soon as possible, the government's rule in Taizhou will still be there. ”
Fang Jie also didn't know anything about military affairs, and felt that the words of the two of them made sense, and he didn't know who to listen to for a while.
After being silent for a long time, Xu Ziling said: "It's better to give it a go and directly capture Taizhou City." ”
Liu Ying said dissatisfiedly: "You also heard from the envoy Fang, now the strength of our righteous army is not enough to fight hard with the Taizhou official army, let alone attack the city." ”
Xu Ziling glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "What if the Taizhou Governor, Tongju and others are assassinated?" ”
Fang Jie's eyes lit up: "You mean to create chaos in the city with assassination, and then take the opportunity to attack?" ”
"There is news from Lu Shinang, saying that the masters of the Secret Investigation Department and the Taizhou Mansion almost poured out of the nest and went to Ninghai to kill him." Xu Ziling took out a piece of paper to transmit the message, handed it to Fang Jie, and continued: "I will sneak into the city with you with one or two hundred elite troops, and wait for the opportunity to assassinate Zhizhou, Tongju and other important officials at night, and then take advantage of the chaos to open the city gate and welcome the army into the city. ”
Liu Ying stepped forward and looked at the note, and found that it was indeed Lu Shinang's handwriting, glanced at Fang Jie, and nodded.
"Good!" Fang Jie stared at Xu Ziling, his eyes flashing with excitement: "Let's surprise the Holy Father." ”
……
The next day, let Liu Ying and a few people lead the army to stand by in Datian County, Fang Jie and Xu Ziling took a hundred elite troops, pretending to be exiles to Taizhou City.
At this time, the news of Fangla's uprising had reached Taizhou City, although the city gate was not closed, but the officers and soldiers in charge of checking suspicious people were much stricter, and once sharp weapons such as swords were found, they were not allowed to enter or exit.
Xu Ziling and the others had no choice but to put all their weapons outside the city, leaving two people to guard them. Xu Ziling instructed one of them to throw his sword and sheath next to the city wall at night.
After entering the city, the subordinates dispersed to the inn near the city gate, and Xu Ziling and Fang Jie also found a restaurant close to the mansion and waited for the night to come.
In the afternoon, the two ordered some food and prepared a full meal before moving.
While they were eating, a woman walked in outside the door, with a pair of knives pinned to her waist, sat down at the table next to them, and ordered some food to eat.
"This girl," seeing that the woman was alone, a man next to her walked over with a wine glass, "in Xia Yu Mengqi, the most happy to make friends with the world's heroes, the girl not only has a beautiful appearance, but also makes a double knife, at the next glance I like it in my heart, can I get to know it?" ”
Such straightforward words are no different from flirting.
The woman's lips and teeth opened slightly, and she said one word coldly: "Get out!" ”
Yu Mengqi smiled chicly, shook her head slightly, walked straight to the woman's table, and was about to sit down, but saw a cold light sweeping over, and the woman directly pulled out a knife and slashed over.
"Then you are so bold," Yu Mengqi hurriedly retreated, dodging the woman's knife, "I'm the cousin of Taizhou Zhizhou, you provoked me, don't want to leave this Taizhou City!" ”
The woman smiled coldly, ignored him, and ate the food by herself.
Yu Mengqi stretched out his hand and pointed at the woman, but he didn't say a word for a long time, his face slowly turned red, and he turned around and left in a hurry.
After seeing Yu Mengqi leave, a young man in the building walked quickly to the woman's side and said: "Girl, hurry up and leave, find a place to hide, the surnamed Yu has bullied countless women from good families by relying on his relationship with Zhizhou, as long as someone dares to resist, he will come with the arrest in the yamen, and he will be beaten at the lightest, and he will be arrested directly in prison." ”
"With his bullying of men and women, no one of you dares to go to the capital to petition," the woman's face was flat and said casually, "Could it be that this Zhizhou also has a backstage in the capital?" ”
Xiao Er lowered his voice: "That's it." Those who dared to petition before were arrested by the people of the secret investigation department before they arrived at the yamen, and they were imprisoned on indiscriminate charges for some crimes. It's been like this two or three times, and who dares to go now. ”
The woman put the two knives on both sides, one left and one right, and said lightly: "You don't have to worry about me, I'm busy with you, I want to see how many catchers he can call." ”
Xiao Er sighed and said: "Why don't you listen to persuasion, no matter how high your martial arts are, but this is on their territory, their people are coming in a steady stream, and you can beat a few more." After that, Xiao Er felt that benevolence was exhausted, so he stopped caring about this woman and took care of other places.
Xu Ziling and Fang Jie watched the whole process, looked at the woman with interest, and found that this woman was really handsome, no wonder Yu Mengqi was interested, but they could also see that the woman was sharp when she swung the knife, at least she was a master above the entry.
And that Yu Mengqi is a person from the government, so this woman can be regarded as their "ally", and the two quietly discussed a few words, wanting to use the topic to play and complete the night's tasks in a more relaxed way.
I saw Xu Ziling get up and walk towards the woman, and when she approached, she saw her pick up the knife on the side, and hurriedly raised her hands and said, "Girl, I have no malicious intentions, my friend and I also have some grievances with that Yu Mengqi, and I want to cooperate with you." As he spoke, he pointed to Fang Jie next to him.
The woman glanced at him, slowly put down the knife, and said coldly: "No need, I will handle my affairs by myself, and I don't need any cooperation." ”
Xu Ziling glanced at what she was eating, and found that it was vegetarian porridge and noodles, thinking that it was not enough to entangle, so she had an idea, took out a silver ingot, put it on the table and said: "Girl, just do what I say, I promise not to let Yu Mengqi find out about the existence of the two of us." ”
The woman looked at the ingot of silver and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but she still bowed her head slightly and said, "How to act, you can talk about it first." ”
Xu Ziling took out another ingot of silver, pushed it in front of the woman, and whispered: "The girl might as well pretend to be afraid of that Yu Mengqi first, and go to the ...... Then ......" After that, Xu Ziling looked at the woman and smiled without saying a word.
The woman frowned and thought for a moment, then finally nodded.
Xu Ziling arched his hand with a smile and turned back to Fang Jie's side.
After taking the silver, the woman nodded slightly to Xu Ziling and left the restaurant.
Fang Jie was about to follow immediately, but was stopped by Xu Ziling: "Don't worry, she rejected the kindness of the shopkeeper before, which means that she is confident in her martial arts and is not afraid of those quick catches." ”
"You're stupid," Fang Jie glared at him and said, "What if she can't trust us and just runs away with the silver." ”
Xu Ziling didn't expect this, and hesitated: "No, she doesn't look like a person who doesn't believe in her words." ”
Fang Jie shook off his hand, walked out directly, and turned around and said, "It doesn't matter what kind of person she is, for the sake of safety, let's chase after it first." After speaking, he walked in the direction where the woman left.
Xu Ziling thought about it, and also felt that he couldn't judge a person's temperament based on intuition alone, so he immediately followed.
The woman knew that the two were following, so she slowed down and slowly walked towards the alley that Xu Ziling told her.
After a long time, I only heard a few voices from the street behind me "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! Yamen arrests the suspect! It was Yu Mengqi who chased after him with four catchers.
The woman hurriedly quickened her pace.
"There it is!" Yu Mengqi saw the woman in the hurry.
The four catchers immediately ran towards her.
The woman walked through the streets and alleys, and finally came to an abandoned alley, and there was no way forward.
Seeing that she didn't know the way and came to a dead end, the catchers who were chasing after her laughed out loud.
"Yo ho, you're really handsome."
"That's it, otherwise how can we Yu Ye look at it."
"Tut-tut, this figure is really tempting."
"Don't say it, take her first, and you can see whatever you want when you catch the yamen."
"Hahaha, the fifth brother is right."
Seeing the four of them laughing unscrupulously, the woman's face became more and more gloomy, and she pulled out the double knives at her waist together.
The four catchers gradually saw the woman's extraordinaryness, hurriedly put away their contempt, drew their weapons and surrounded them together.
But it was the woman who took the lead, her body jumped, and the two knives slashed towards the nearest catcher, and the aqua blue knife light reflected from the blade.
The moment she quickly blocked it with her knife, the woman withdrew her knife and kicked him in the abdomen with a whip leg, kicking him upside down and flying out.
The rest of the catchers turned a blind eye to their companion's tragic situation and slashed at the woman together.
The woman didn't dare to use a surprising winning method under the attack of the three of them, so she had to wield two knives to block.
The catchers have cooperated for many years and have a tacit understanding with each other, and the woman's step-by-step moves can't break through the encirclement of the three, and she is gradually forced into a corner.
Just when the three of them thought that the woman's strength was out of strength, the woman suddenly let out a soft shout, and wisps of light blue true qi shot out from between the blades, and the three of them were still some distance away, and they had already felt the amazing chill in it.
A famous catcher didn't have time to dodge, and was soaked into the palm of his hand by the true qi, and his palm was suddenly frozen and unconscious, and the knife he was holding fell to the ground.
As he was enduring the cold, the catcher next to him jerked him back, and he only saw a knife light slashing through the tip of his nose, slowly revealing a streak of blood.
The catcher covered his nose in shock, and if it hadn't been for his companion pulling him, the tip of his nose would not have been cut off.
After the fight was finished in one go, the woman found that she had not killed any of the catchers, and her face suddenly turned a little pale. She hadn't yet entered the Supreme Realm, and it would take a long time to recover from the Qi Han True Qi forcibly drawn out by the secret method. And without Qi Han's true qi, it would be difficult for her to find another chance to kill the three of them.
These four catchers are all in the realm of entering the house, she can win steadily with one hit two, one hit three, one hit four she can only protect herself, it is too difficult to find an opportunity, and she will definitely lose if the time drags on for too long.
Now she can only hope that the two people in the restaurant can come as promised, otherwise when her true qi is exhausted, she will choose to commit suicide, so as not to be insulted by this group of people, anyway, she has nothing to be nostalgic about.
"Ouch, how many old men are bullying a weak woman?"
Sure enough, Cao Cao said, Cao Cao arrived. Xu Ziling, who was late, and the two were wearing masks and walking towards the catchers.
After walking a few steps, Fang Jie saw the catcher lying on the ground holding his waist, and said with a smile: "Yo, this official, where is it uncomfortable, do you want me to treat you?" ”
A cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he sneered, "No, no need." ”
Fang Jie looked at it with a smile and found that he was holding his left waist, secretly healing his wounds, so he walked to his right side, raised his leg and kicked his right waist.
When he caught the fast board, he bared his teeth and almost fainted in pain.
saw Fang Jie pull his right hand holding his left waist to the right and press it on the place where he had just kicked.
"It looks much better this way," Fang Jie smiled and looked at the three catchers with angry faces, "Remember, when you bury it, you put your hand like this, it looks much more kind." ”
