Chapter 11: Wolf Ambition
The two in front of them did a good job, and Zu Ti and Liu Kun followed behind with great difficulty, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived at the arsenal in Dongcheng, which was not far from the East Palace.
The arsenal is a storehouse for storing the equipment used by the army, relying on armor and other military resources, what are these two thieves going to do when they go to the arsenal? Is it necessary to steal the contents of the arsenal?
There was no one to inspect the huge arsenal, and there was only a few sergeants in the room who were gambling, completely ignoring the outside.
The two masked men put the bag on the ground, looked around, took out a bucket from the bag, opened the lid and poured it around the arsenal, Zu Ti felt a stream of sesame oil attacking, and suddenly woke up, it turned out that it was not an ordinary thief, they were going to set fire to the arsenal!
The tall one was about to dig out the flint, and Zu Li shouted: "What a thief! ", rushed out with Liu Kun, and shouted in a hurry: "Hurry up and ignite the fire!" A person stepped forward to stop Zu Ti and Liu Kun.
The short man is not weak in martial arts, and he is entangled with Zu Li and Liu Kun, and he does not fall behind.
The tall man took out a fire knife and hit the flint and steel in a panic, and after a few fights, he didn't fight, and then the sergeant in the room heard the sound of fighting outside, and immediately lit a torch to check it, and when he saw this, he called out all the sergeants.
When the two masked men saw that they had been broken, they didn't dare to fight, and ran back along the road they came.
"Chase!"
Zu Ti and Liu Kun chased after them.
But the light skills of the two masked people were very high, and they actually jumped on the roof, crossed the wall and escaped all the way, and the two of them chased after them out of breath and did not catch up, at this time the two of them knew in their hearts that their martial arts were very poor, and the two thieves were not on the same level at all.
The two returned to the arsenal and instructed the sergeants guarding the arsenal to take turns to be on duty at night just in case, and then they returned home uneasy.
The two masked men performed light skills and came to Huida Qianzhuang, without going through the front gate or the back door, and jumped directly into the courtyard from the wall.
Huida Qianzhuang is also set up by Guiyi Hall, which is the old nest of Dangyi Hall, and the hall owner Liu Yao lives here.
When the two entered the room, Liu Yao was waiting, and as soon as they met, he asked, "Did you succeed?" ”
The two of them took off the face scarves on their faces and showed their true faces, which turned out to be Liu Ji and Liu Zhen among the four protectors.
"Hall master, we went to the arsenal according to the hall master's instructions, and sure enough, there were no patrolling sergeants, so we poured oil and prepared to set fire to the arsenal, but we didn't want to kill two hunters halfway, which disrupted our good deeds, and alarmed the sergeants who guarded the warehouse, for the sake of safety, they didn't dare to fight, so they hurried back. Hall master, we recognize them as the head catcher Zu Li and Liu Kun of Sili Mansion, they also came as guests yesterday, and they also tried martial arts with us, and it is Zu Li who competes with you in arrows. Liu Ji said.
"Zu Ti Liu Kun? …… Oh, I remembered, the one who competed with me yesterday was called Zu Ti, his martial arts are not weak, he can have a tie with me, and there are many talents in the Central Plains. Liu Yao sighed.
"Hall Master, I fought with them tonight, and their martial arts are very ordinary, but I don't understand why Liu Kun was able to win against Brother Liu Zhen yesterday, and Zu Qi actually has the same archery skills as you, it's really puzzling." Liu Ji said.
Liu Zhen took over and said: "Yes, hall master, Liu Kun's martial arts are ordinary, I only deliberately didn't kill for the orders of the hall master, I have always had the upper hand yesterday, but for some reason I lost my mind for a while, and the door was opened, which gave Liu Kun a chance." ”
Liu Yao said: "The Central Plains is full of talents, maybe there are high-ranking people to help him, let's not talk about this first, Liu Ji Liu Zhen, do you know why you want to set fire to the arsenal?" ”
"We understand this, isn't it all for the sake of our Huns' plans."
Liu Yao said: "Yes, this morning I received a flying pigeon from the fourth brother of Liu Cong in Guanzhong, saying that Qi Wannian and Sima Wei, the king of Liang, were at war endlessly, and Sima Wei had a huge consumption of ordnance, and he had written to ask the imperial court to send a batch of ordnance to the Guanzhong army, if the Jin army was allowed to get the ordnance, it would be unfavorable to Qi Wannian, so I sent you to risk going to the arsenal to set fire, so that the Jin army would be at a disadvantage." ”
"Hall Master, I don't know something, why do we have to help Qi Wannian so wholeheartedly, is this any good for our Xiongnu cause?" Liu Zhen asked.
Liu Yao smiled slightly and said: "Liu Zhen, we were entrusted by our uncle to come to Luoyang to lurk, in order to develop our forces and create chaos, in order to one day march into the Central Plains, dominate the world, and restore the foundation of the Huhan evil clan. Now that the imperial court is corrupt, officials at all levels only know pleasure and do not know how to sympathize with the people, it is the time for us to show it, our first step plan has been successful, the establishment of Guiyi Hall, the halls are all over the place, the future army can be combined with the outside, and our business is getting bigger and bigger, there will be a large amount of gold and silver treasures will continue to be transported back to the five departments, this money is the future recruitment of military salaries. The next step is to create chaos, preferably chaos in the world, so that we have a chance. ”
"The world is in chaos? …… The hall master is right, when the Metropolitan Governor sent us here, I was still a little puzzled, why didn't I immediately raise troops and march into the Central Plains, now I understand that the Sima Imperial Court is a hundred-legged insect stiff and not dead, we must wait for an opportunity, otherwise it will be self-inflicted. Liu Ji said with understanding.
"Well, it's good that you understand, just now you said why you wanted to help Qi Wannian, in fact, Qi Wannian's rebellion was created by us."
"Huh?"
"Just before we came to Luoyang, my uncle had sent my fourth brother Liu Cong to Guanzhong to make trouble, Zhao King Sima Lun really forced Hao Duyuan, he led the Xiongnu Hao Department to rebel against the imperial court, killed the northern Taishou Zhang Yuan, but in Yongzhou Thorn Shi Xie Department of pursuit, Hao Duyuan was cornered, Liu Cong's fourth brother led him to contact the Di people handsome Qi Wannian, and contributed to the Di rebellion, the troops suddenly reached hundreds of thousands, Sima Lun had no way to govern the army, and he couldn't beat Qi Wannian at all, he immediately gave a generous gift to the ruling Jia Hou and transferred back to the capital, Replaced by Sima Wei, the king of Liang. We secretly helped Qi Wannian in order to not let the imperial court quickly put down this rebellion, it is better to fight for two or three years, consume the financial resources of the imperial court, displace the people, and refugees everywhere, and then the world will not be able to mess up. Liu Yao said.
"It turns out that helping Qi Wannian is helping ourselves."
"Yes, that's right, if we miss this time, the imperial court will definitely step up the deployment of the arsenal, for the sake of prudence, we will find another way, even if it is sent to Guanzhong, we will rob and burn the ordnance." Liu Yao said.
"Okay, we'll be at your disposal." The two said in unison.
"We have a lot of plans, we have to implement them slowly, let you prepare one thing now?"
"The hall master commands."
"You're going to enter the palace." Liu Yao said.
"Hall Master, enter the palace? What can you do when you enter the palace? Ah, isn't that to be a eunuch? The hall master... We don't want to ......."
"Hahahaha, of course I won't let you be real eunuchs." Liu Yao whispered a few words to them again, Liu Ji and Liu Zhen were immediately overjoyed, Liu Ji squinted his eyes and said, "Hall Master, it's so exciting, I want to enter the palace now!" ”
