Lan Ziyi rode his horse to the palace, and the sergeant who seemed to be guarding the door saw Lan Ziyi coming over and hurriedly saluted.

Lan Ziyi saw that the sergeant was standing loosely at the door, guarding the door but looking left and right, so he asked:

"What are you doing here? Don't look at you're not guarding the door. ”

The sergeant replied:

"Back to Master Hou, General Zhuhu asked me to guard at the door, but General Zhulu also arranged things for me, and asked me to receive letters and news from outside for several generals.

Master Hou, you also know that there is a big place in the city, and there are few of us, and we didn't find out anything last night, but today the brothers searched the city carefully, and I had to wear many hats, so as not to occupy other brothers. “

Lan Ziyi nodded when he heard this, and then he didn't pursue the matter of the sergeant's untidy appearance, and after asking a few generals where they were, he went to the mansion.

The corpses that were cut all over last night have been dragged away, but the blood stains have not yet come and been wiped away, and there is a faded rust red everywhere as far as the eye can see, and the smell of blood can be faintly smelled.

If you don't clean up the bloodstains as soon as possible, there will be a strong smell of blood in the back, Lan Ziyi looked at these bloodstains all the way and thought that he would have to find a new place to take them with him in Shouchun City in the past few days, and he would be smoked by these smells that could not be dispersed when he stayed in the mansion.

Following the route guided by the sergeant, Lan Ziyi turned a few corners and came to the backyard of the mansion.

It is true that there is no one else in the palace except for some sergeants who give orders, and it seems that the soldiers are busy with other things in the city.

After entering, Lan Ziyi only saw the door of the hall open, but he couldn't see anyone.

Lan Ziyi thought that the three of them had something to do and went out of the palace again, but the soldiers guarding the door just now and the sergeants who met on the road didn't say anything about the three of them going out, could it be that there was an enemy attack that attacked the three of them?

Thinking of this, Lan Ziyi's heart tightened, but a burst of snoring from the hall made Lan Ziyi breathe a sigh of relief.

Lan Ziyi stepped into the hall, and sure enough, the three of them were tired all night and slept in the house.

Tao Zhulu was closest to the door, holding a knife in his hand, with a bow beside him, leaning against the door frame and falling asleep quietly.

In the hall, Tao Zhuhu found three tables and put them together, lying on the table and snoring like thunder, and sleeping soundly.

Not far from Tao Zhuhu was Li Guangzhong, Li Guangzhong slept in a ball leaning on a chair, and his awkward appearance made him snort uncomfortably.

Seeing this, Lan Ziyi had no intention of waking up the three of them to sleep, anyway, Qi Rongxun's main force was still far away, and there was still enough time for them to sleep, but Tao Zhulu was very vigilant, so wake up first,

Tao Zhulu's first reaction when he woke up was to get up and draw his knife, and when he saw clearly that it was Lan Ziyi who entered the house, he hurriedly saluted with a knife.

Tao Zhuhu and Li Guangzhong also turned over from the place where they slept when they heard the voice,

Although Lan Ziyi was jumped by Tao Zhulu, but being on the front line, Tao Zhulu's reaction was understandable, Lan Ziyi didn't say anything, and after Tao Zhuhu took apart a table and put it away, the dead people each brought a chair and sat around the table.

Tao Zhulu apologized to Lan Ziyi first, saying:

"I didn't see the young master come in clearly, and he pulled out his knife and cut it, which frightened the young master!"

Lan Ziyi smiled and waved his hand and teased:

"If the second brother didn't draw the knife, I would have been frightened, I didn't sleep carelessly, what if I was attacked by thieves?"

The three of them laughed when they heard Lan Ziyi's ridicule, and Tao Zhuhu said with some embarrassment:

"Oops, I accidentally fell asleep, and there are so many things to do."

Li Guangzhong also yawned and said:

"I just wanted to squint for a while, but I didn't expect to fall asleep like this."

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter,

兰子义 says:

"I found an inn early last night and slept first, you don't know how busy it is, it's normal to fall asleep, you just have to arrange the guards, there are few people in the house all the way to the house."

Li Guangzhong answered at this time:

"Not to mention the house, there aren't many people in the whole city."

桃淚虎 says:

"No one but us, to be exact."

Lan Ziyi asked:

"Big brother and General Li ran to the city gates on both sides last night and didn't find any residents left?"

Tao Zhuhu shook his head and said:

"No one, let alone people, there isn't even a dog on the street."

Li Guangzhong nodded and replied:

"This Shouchun city is quieter than Ruyin, and there are no living creatures at all."

Lan Ziyi asked:

"A huge city, and there are no people?

I chased the thieves and deserters last night to the water gate in the northeast of the city, and I didn't see a serious fire all the way, and the buildings in the city are still well preserved, otherwise I wouldn't have found an inn to sleep in.

There are so many houses and there are no people? “

李广忠 says:

"I rushed all the way to the east gate yesterday, and I also saw the property market on both sides of the street, although many places were burned, but the buildings in the city are still well preserved, and the doors and windows are also there, but no one is there."

Lan Ziyi asked:

"Could it be that the thief, I mean Lei Youde slaughtered the city?"

Tao Zhuhu shook his head and said:

"I didn't see too much blood in the city when we slaughtered the city, and if we concentrated on killing, we didn't see a mass grave, although we haven't searched Shouchun carefully, but our people have already run through the main street of Shouchun last night, and it is impossible not to find something as conspicuous as burying the mass grave of the whole city.

I went into a few houses that were still in good condition, and found that the houses were all in disarray, and some of them were thrown on the ground, which showed that the people in the city were in a hurry, and I speculated that the thieves drove all the residents out of the city, and Lei Youde did not slaughter the city. “

At this time, Li Guangzhong clenched his fists and said to Lan Ziyi:

"Congratulations to Wei Hou, congratulations to Wei Hou, it is really a great achievement to behead the thief Kou Heavenly King and present it to the capital."

Lan Ziyi smiled and waved his hand and said:

"General Li said with a smile, it was the second brother who broke through the defense line of the government thieves last night, and it was also the second brother who beheaded the Heavenly King, so I can't talk about my credit.

The death of the king of heaven just means that our troubles have just begun, everyone knows that Lei Youde is much more difficult to deal with than the king of heaven, and the third brother has to pass through Luzhou on the way to send the head, and the head of the king of heaven is very likely to be taken by the king of virtue to invite credit, which is not my credit. “

Tao Zhulu asked at this time:

"San Lang and the young master live together, whether San Lang is gone, if he delays any longer, he may be bumped into by Qi Rongxun."

Lan Ziyi replied:

"The third brother has already left, and I just got up in the morning to see him off."

Then Lan Ziyi asked Tao Zhulu:

"Second brother said don't be bumped into by Qi Rongxun, what do you mean by that?"

桃扵鹿 says:

"The young master and Qi Rongxun attacked the city together, and now the credit has been robbed by the young master alone, if you let Qi Rongxun know, I'm afraid it will cause a quarrel."

Lan Ziyi lowered his head slightly when he heard Tao Zhulu's words, thought about it, and said:

"What the second brother said does make sense, but I don't want to hide this matter from Qi Rongxun.

Sooner or later, such a big thing as the king of heaven being beheaded will be spread, even if I can hide Qi Rongxun now, he will also know from other places, if Qi Rongxun learns this news from the rear, the contradiction between me and him will become even bigger, so it is not easy to clean up, it is better to meet him now and tell him directly. “

桃扵鹿 says:

"The young master's mind is indeed broad, but if you tell Qi Rongxun directly, the contradiction between the two of you will intensify now, if you hide it first, maybe you can wait until the end of the war to let Qi Rongxun know, then it will not affect the war."

Lan Ziyi said:

"It's just maybe, there is no guarantee that Qi Rongxun doesn't know at all,

The paper can't hold the fire, and the news of beheading the Heavenly King last night is estimated to have spread in the camp, even if Qi Rongxun is not in the Jihu Camp to plant eyeliner, the soldiers will talk to each other in private. “

桃扵鹿 says:

"I can figure out a way to this, I promise that there will be no news from the Jihu Camp...."

Lan Ziyi stretched out his hand to stop Tao Zhulu, shook his head and said:

"No need, there's no point, let Qi Rongxun know that it's much worse for me to hide the truth, and tell him directly that we can control the scene to some extent."

Then Lan Ziyi smiled bitterly:

"Alas! That's the price I have to pay for taking credit. ”

The other three didn't dare to answer Lan Ziyi's sigh, and after a moment of silence, Li Guangzhong asked:

"I heard that the Heavenly King died in the house last night, in the hut next to it, Wei Hou, what you saw was a corpse?"

Lan Ziyi nodded and said:

"Yes, when we entered the house, we found a corpse,

Not only us, but even the close guards who protected the thief Kou Heavenly King did not know that the Heavenly King was dead, and they fought to the death in the palace until finally a guard rushed into the house and realized that their Heavenly King was dead, but it was too late. “

Li Guangzhong asked:

"Why? This is so unreasonable. ”

兰子义 says:

"It's not unreasonable, it's inconceivable, the whole city is gone, the king's guards are left in the palace, and they don't know about the king's death.

I can't answer you if you ask me why, so I can only hope that this is not some trick of Lei Youde. “

After a happy tone, Lan Ziyi asked:

"Since there is no resistance from the thieves in the city, why don't you arrange for the soldiers to rest and rest in shifts, what are you still busy with now?"

桃淚虎 says:

"Let's wait until the army enters the city.

Shouchun is an empty city, there are houses and no people, I am now arranging for the sergeants to find a suitable place for tens of thousands of people to be stationed in a unified manner, the brothers are tired to death, it would be nice to have a bed to sleep in. “

桃扵鹿 says:

"I arranged for some people to go out of the city and reconnoiter in all directions to see if they could find a living mouth, whether it was a common person or a thief who fled for his life, we would also ask questions."

Lan Ziyi asked:

"So what's going on?"

Tao Zhulu shook his head and said:

"So far, nothing has worked."

After Tao Zhulu finished speaking, no one spoke again, Lan Ziyi thought about it and said:

"Though we enter the city, we cannot say that we are in the city.

The idea of the eldest brother looking for a place to live is indeed timely, but don't divide people too much, what if there are scattered thieves?

Let's wait for Qi Rongxun and their main force to enter the city. “
