Cui Wenqing sighed secretly, but he didn't have time to pay too much attention to Nan Mingli, and his eyes quietly patrolled the hall for a week, and his expression unconsciously became solemn.

According to Nalan Bing's explanation, the ecstasy incense she carried had to be placed in the candle flame in order to emit the smell of ecstasy, thus fascinating these Mingjiao demons.

And in order to ensure the timely spread of Ecstasy incense, it is necessary to put Ecstasy incense in the candle flames around the hall at the same time.

Nowadays, it seems that there are no less than dozens of medium-height copper lamps in the hall, and all of them are distributed in different corners of the hall, how to place them is a very headache problem.

In addition, because of the Mid-Autumn Festival moon appreciation, all the windows in the hall are opened, and the wind is whistling and rolling through, if you don't close all the windows, I am afraid that the effect of ecstasy incense is more difficult to ensure.

Thinking of this, Cui Wenqing felt even more troublesome, what should be done to make these Mingjiao demons close all the windows?

Time passed slowly, minute by minute, and Cui Wenqing's thoughts were like a stream flowing quietly, without stopping.

Finally, a solution swept through his mind like lightning, making his eyes light up instantly.

After deciding, Cui Wenqing's face had a resolute look, fortunately, he was covered by the mask and was not seen by outsiders.

He pretended to have nothing to do and walked to the window lattice, stopped to look outside, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Banner master, there are officers and soldiers outside!" ”

It was like a thunderclap, and everyone in the hall was suddenly shocked.

The demons of the Ming Sect naturally lost their color in an instant, and the Tai students were all excited, so happy that they almost screamed.

Zhong Kui's mask, which was originally sitting on the embroidered pier, was like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, and he jumped up suddenly, and rushed to the window lattice in three steps and two steps, and there was already a trace of solemnity in his calm tone: "Where is it?" ”

Cui Wenqing pointed blindly: "In that water, just now I saw a few officers and soldiers floating in the water, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye!" ”

Zhong Kui's mask looked at the water area pointed by Cui Wenqing seriously and carefully, but found that there was nothing except the rolling waves, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why not?" Are you mistaken? ”

Cui Wenqing pretended to be anxious and said: "How can my subordinates be wrong about such a big matter?" To be able to swim across Luoshui and quietly approach the painting boat in this season must be a spy sent by the official army. ”

Zhong Kui looked at it carefully for a long time, thought for a while, and said: "What you said is reasonable, it must be that the imperial court secretly sent someone to investigate the situation in the painting boat. ”

Cui Wenqing nodded for a while, and said in a deep voice: "That...... Flag Lord, what shall we do? We can't let the court probe our reality! ”

Zhong Kui Mask quickly thought of a solution, and said in a deep voice: "You immediately go out and order Deputy Banner Master Li and them to strengthen their vigilance to prevent the officers and soldiers from taking the opportunity to board the ship, and close all the windows in the hall, so as not to be detected by the officers and soldiers in the hall." ”

Hearing this, Cui Wenqing was naturally overjoyed, and secretly exclaimed, "I'm really a fucking genius." With a fart-stump order, the masked warriors closed all the windows in the hall, even the door, and in an instant, the entire hall became airtight.

Zhong Kui didn't realize that his move was a cocoon, he was a little more cautious than just now, and continued to instruct Cui Wenqing: "Shou Xing, you take good care of these students, if the officials and soldiers dare to make any changes, don't hesitate, let's use the lives of these students to bury them!" ”

"Good!" Cui Wenqing's purpose has been achieved, and he deserves it very happily, and walked back to the place where the students were being held, standing there with high spirits, like an executioner who is about to raise a butcher's knife.

And the students didn't see the officers and soldiers who came to rescue them, so naturally their hopes were dashed, they were greatly defeated, and they all hung their heads and were silent.

At this moment, the gate was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a masked warrior hurriedly walked in and said, "Banner master, the student who went to report the news just now suddenly returned by boat, claiming that he will come back and live and die with his classmates!" ”

"What? That Sima Tang actually came back? Zhong Kui's mask tone was full of incredulity, and he said with a smile, "Let him go, but he didn't go, he came back to die, isn't this person in the water?" ”

Cui Wenqing was also stunned when he heard it, and he was not sure whether Sima Tang had learned what Sima Wei said, so he rushed to support him.

was groaning, but saw that Zhong Kui was already sneering and waved his hand: "Since he wants to die, let him board the ship, now that Sima Wei is dead, having him, the son of the prime minister, as a proton, can also increase our chances of victory." ”

The samurai nodded and applauded, and hurriedly turned away, but after a moment, he led Sima Tang in.

This time he took the initiative to come and sacrifice his life, Sima Tang went through some serious consideration.

First, it is because of the enthusiasm of the heroes in his heart, and secondly, he also wants to give full play to the demeanor of a courtier and solve problems for the court and officials.

And the third, and most important reason, is that he really can't bear to leave Sima Wei to escape alone, as a brother, he must come to save his little sister out.

Responsibility is the true character of a man.

Walking into the hall after a long time of absence, Sima Tang had no fear on his face, calm as usual, and said to Zhong Kui's mask: "This hero, I have already informed the court of your request, and I will come back first and deal with it." ”

Upon hearing this, Zhong Kui sneered: "What a Sima Tang, I really admire your courage, I know that I want to come back even if I die, but it is impressive." ”

Sima Tang smiled faintly and said: "Your Excellency doesn't have to be like this, when I left, the official family had already convened all the prime ministers to discuss countermeasures, and decided to release Duan Chenxi to exchange all the students, and I can come back with the courage to come back, and it is precisely because of this, but there is a process of release, please be calm, wait calmly, and don't hurt the lives of innocent students." ”

Hearing this, everyone present was relieved, especially those students, and many of them cried out with joy.

Zhong Kui's mask sneered, and said lightly: "Since the imperial court has decided to release people, why do you still send spies to dive into the water to secretly investigate the situation of the painting boat?" ”

When these words fell, Sima Tang changed slightly.

When he came to the painting boat by boat, Yang Wenguang had obviously ordered all the officials and soldiers lurking in the waters around the painting boat to withdraw, why did there still be spies to come to investigate, so that they were discovered by the Mingjiao demons? Isn't this a foolish act to stimulate the demons?
