Chapter 1303
Huize City is a granary, so martial law in the city, as long as the sky is dark, the city is full of curfew, the people in the city are not allowed to wander the streets, once caught by the patrol soldiers, they will be punished for treason.
Although the regulations are harsh, they are extraordinary times and extraordinary places, so they have to do so.
After dark, the streets and alleys were deserted, and every house closed its door, except for the occasional patrolling soldier walking through the street.
There are five granaries in Aizawa Castle, but some of them are very close to each other, and the granaries in the south of the city are the largest.
There was already a vacant land in the south of the city, and after Han Yu came here, he moved all the dwellings around the vacant land, built a strong granary here, and sent two or three hundred soldiers to guard it strictly, and even several roads leading to the granary were all blocked.
This granary stored a large amount of grain, and the stone walls around it were built high and thick, and in order to be precautionary, even watchposts were built at the four corners, and troops were sent to monitor day and night, condescendingly, but anyone near the granary could be easily discovered.
There was no moon tonight, but the soldiers of the guard remained in their positions as always, and two special bands of soldiers patrolled around the granary.
It was already the middle of the night, there was a dead silence between the heavens and the earth, outside the southwest corner of the granary, several figures were crawling on the ground, moving towards the granary little by little, the night of May was dark between the heaven and the earth, in fact, in order to facilitate monitoring, there were torches in many places around the granary, but the southwest corner was a weak point, and there was no fire, it was when those figures approached the stone wall, quietly, and no one found it.
At the base of the wall, several figures first checked the movement around them, to make sure that they were not noticed, the two figures immediately squatted down at the base of the wall, each stretched out their hands to shake each other, even if the companion behind moved quickly, stepped on the hand ladder, the two people lifted up violently, the companion immediately jumped up with the help of the lifting force, and hooked the wall again, jumped on the wall very lightly, the two behind the two concocted the same method, successively crossed the wall, this group of people acted quickly and simply, apparently well-trained.
The five of them were all dressed in black and pants, and covered their faces with black scarves, and after the three jumped on the wall, they jumped from the wall into the granary, but the two people who made the hand ladder at the base of the wall did not follow in, but stuck to the wall and did not move.
After the three of them entered the granary, they did not delay, bent over, and ran straight to the middle area of the granary.
Inside the stone wall is a warehouse built of wood, which is stored with grain, and the three figures avoided the patrolling guards, approached the warehouse door, the hatch was locked with an iron lock, two of them separated from the left and right, paying attention to the movement of the guards, but the remaining person was very skillful and neatly opened the iron lock, gently pushed open the warehouse door, and the three of them quickly dodged into the warehouse, and closed the warehouse door again.
The inside of the warehouse was pitch black, and piles of sacks were piled up in the warehouse like a hill.
In the darkness, the three of them took out a leather bag from their bodies, the man in the middle made a gesture, the two companions separated from the left and the right, and before they took two steps, they suddenly heard a cough, and the three of them were fixed in shape, and their eyes showed a shocked look, and then the fire suddenly lit up all around, under the firelight, a group of soldiers with spears instantly poured out from the warehouse, and the three quickly withdrew to the warehouse door, and before they approached the warehouse door, they heard a "bang" sound, the warehouse door had been pushed open, and dozens of guards rushed in from outside the warehouse door, In front, more than a dozen shield soldiers bent down to form an iron wall with shields, and behind them were crossbowmen armed with crossbow arrows.
In just a moment, the three of them were surrounded by the guards.
The three of them were back to back, but they all took out short blades in their hands, and their eyes showed horror.
"Don't move, and don't resist." In the crowd, a voice said lightly: "If you just make a rash move, you will be shot into a hedgehog in no time." In the midst of the voice, a person slowly walked out, it was Qi Ning.
A man in black stared at Qi Ning, his eyes were like knives, Qi Ning looked at the knives in the hands of several men in black, but his face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "The leaves are hidden in the ground, and the cicadas are singing in the sky...... Are you cicada secrets? ”
There are four major schools of Dongying Mi Ninja, namely Hagakure, Flying Cicada, Koga and Iga, the Cicada clan was also majestic, but they made a feud with Hagakure and Koga, Ye Yin and Koga united with the Fog Hidden clan to completely expel the Cicada clan from Dongying, and the Fog Hide took the place of the Cicada clan.
After the cicadas were expelled from the main island of Dongying, they could only go into exile in the East China Sea and occupy the island in the East China Sea to survive.
Qi Ning already knew a lot about this cicada secret ninja, and had contact with this group of people several times, and was quite familiar with the weapons of this group of people.
When the cicada secret ninja intercepted and killed the little emperor who was still the crown prince, Qi Ning wondered who these ninjas were instructed by, and later learned that these cicada secret ninjas were likely to have been raised by the Eastern Qi people, so he suspected that the interception and killing of the little emperor was the instigation of the Eastern Qi people.
After that, these secret ninjas actually attacked and killed Beitang Feng, if it didn't happen that the white feather crane suddenly appeared, Beitang Feng was only afraid that it would be folded in the hands of these people, and at that time, it was strange why the Dongqi people would attack Beitang Feng.
The last time he encountered the cicada's secret forbearance, but it was in the East China Sea, the cicada secretly endured the order of the hidden lord and colluded with Jiang Mantian, which made Qi Ning suspect that the hidden master was from Eastern Qi.
This time, he expected that Shen Tuluo would probably send someone to infiltrate the granary to burn grain, but he didn't want it to be the cicada secret ninja who appeared again.
A man in black had a cold look in his eyes, a horizontal knife in his hand, and did not speak.
Qi Ning stepped forward slowly, only a few steps away from the man in black, and said lightly: "I heard that after the cicada secret ninja was expelled from Dongying, he was stranded at sea, like a lost dog, and was later raised by the Dongqi people, it seems that the rumors are true." He didn't know if these ninjas could understand what he said, and when he saw the man in black's eyes moving slightly, he seemed to understand, and said with a smile indifferently: "But the Eastern Qi Kingdom has fallen, and they can't protect themselves, I really don't know what else they have to protect you." ”
As soon as his words fell, he suddenly felt a figure flash in front of him, and the black-clothed secret ninja actually rushed towards him at an unbelievable speed, and all the crossbowmen around him did not react at all, and without Qi Ning's order, no one dared to act rashly, that is, in the blink of an eye, he heard a low cry in the mouth of the secret ninja, and the short blade in his hand had already stabbed towards Qi Ning.
There were soldiers around who exclaimed, seeing that the short blade was about to stab Qi Ning, but Qi Ning dodged away at an even more unbelievable speed, and the secret ninja stabbed in the air, taken aback, obviously he didn't expect Qi Ning's speed to be so fast.
This secret ninja didn't want to kill Qi Ning, he naturally saw that Qi Ning had a special identity, and he was surrounded by a lot at the moment, but he wanted to control Qi Ning to coerce the officers and soldiers, so as to retreat with his whole body.
He found the right time and struck a shot, but he never thought that Qi Ning's martial arts would be so good, a knife in the air, instantly felt his arm tightened, and before he could react, he heard a "click" sound, and he had been slapped on the shoulder by Qi Ning's palm, the shoulder bone was shattered, and the whole person had already flown out, and then fell heavily to the ground, and the two companions quickly ran up, clenched the knife in their hands, and protected him.
"The cicada is forbearing, but that's it." Qi Ning sneered.
Na Mi Ren struggled to sit up, and then listened to Qi Ning continue: "When the Flying Cicada clan was expelled from Dongying, there were naturally many men, women and children, and they still live on the island now. Naturally, you can't return to Dongying, but Dongqi is gone, and you don't even have a place to eat .....! Putting his hands behind his back, he said: "If you think that your people can live on the sea, I advise you to dispel this idea, the East China Sea has always been the sea area of my Central Plains Dynasty, you either kneel at the feet of my Central Plains Dynasty, or you can only be punished by the whole clan, it is not difficult to search for the island where you live in the East China Sea, and when the time comes, you only need to send a few warships, and you can naturally completely eradicate the Cicada clan." ”
Mi Ren endured the huge pain in his shoulders and stood up, and said coldly: "I'd rather die than give in!" "It was spoken in the Central Plains, although it was a little stiff, but the words were clear.
Qi Ning smiled: "It turns out that you can speak, not dumb." Rather die than submit? has backbone, it seems that Flying Cicada Danfu really has some hard bones under his hands. When he was in the East China Sea, he knew from Jiang Changfeng's mouth that the leader of the Cicada Tanni was called Cicada Danfu, and when he mentioned the Cicada Danfu at this time, he stared directly at the eyes of the Cicada Danfu, and when he saw the words "Cicada Danfu" came out, the eyes of the Cicada Tanren jumped, and he instantly understood something, and said word by word: "You are the Cicada Danfu!" ”
Burning the granary, such a task is naturally not something that can be completed by sending a few people at random, Qi Ning knew that the other party was the Cicada Secret Ninja, so he thought that this action was likely to be the Flying Cicada Danfu personally led his ninjas to act, but after all, it was impossible to be sure, at this time, seeing the other party's reaction, he already had some doubts, and made a tentative speech, the secret ninja's eyes were like knives, but he did not deny it, and said coldly: "What is it?" ”
"Sure enough, it's you." Qi Ning sighed: "Flying Cicada Danfu, it seems that you Flying Cicada Secret Forbearance was really raised by the people of Eastern Qi. ”
Flying Cicada Duff just sneered and didn't speak.
"I've always done what I said." Qi Ning said: "I said that I would kill your cicada clan, and I would never just say big things. ”
"Who are you?" Flying Cicada Danf finally asked.
Qi Ning smiled: "I know everything about you, but you don't know anything about me. Taking two steps forward, the Flying Cicada Danfu was clenching the short blade in his hand, Qi Ning looked the Flying Cicada Danfu up and down a few times, and then said: "The destruction of the Eastern Qi Kingdom is imminent, do you Flying Cicada clan want to accompany the Eastern Qi Kingdom to perish together?" Whether you are loyal to Dongqi or not, for your Cicada clan, in the final analysis, it is just a deal, they provide shelter, give you a bowl of rice to eat, let you work for them, now they are unable to protect themselves, Cicada Danfu, you can consider changing the master. ”
Flying Cicada Danfu raised his head and let out a piercing laugh, Qi Ning frowned, and Flying Cicada Danfu had already said: "The covenant of life and death, words are like a mountain, and I will never repent!" ”
