Chapter 332: Retreat as Advance, Attack from the Side
Chapter 332 Retreat is the advance, and the side attack
Chapter 332 Retreat is the advance, and the side attack
Around the east wall of the people's square, there is a row of low houses. These are all dilapidated old houses that have not been inhabited for many years, and some have even become habitats for birds, or are covered with cobwebs or overgrown with weeds, and even beggars are not uncommon for such dilapidated places without roofs.
At this time, in the courtyard of a dilapidated house, a dry well that seemed to have been used by no one for many years was suddenly lifted, and a figure stumbled out, and then sat on the ground and gasped for breath. Immediately afterward, like a frightened bird, a spirit crawled up and hid behind a large tree. This tunnel is just a few hundred feet long, but the air is turbid and uneven, and he doesn't even know how he struggled out!
The fighting not far away seemed to have stopped, and the air seemed to be no different from an ordinary autumn afternoon. However, he felt cold in his hands and feet, and the hot scrapes on his limbs were also left behind him. Who would have thought that without any warning, someone would rush there at once, and even storm it without saying a word, and he still doesn't know what happened inside!
"Father-in-law!"
He lowered his voice and let out a cry of sorrow, staring in that direction, refusing to move. This is Luoyang, the eastern capital, and the foot of the Son of Heaven. Although those people are powerful and powerful, they may not dare to continue to attack like this, as long as they ...... As long as they hold on for a while, whether it is the arrival of Jin Wuwei or the errand officers of Luoyang County, or the patrolling warriors of Ningrenfang, they will definitely not let those people fight and kill. As long as that's it. Those people inside, as well as his father-in-law, still have a glimmer of hope!
Suddenly, his pupils contracted suddenly, and his eyes widened in disbelief. He could clearly see that the sky in the direction of the house was suddenly reflected red, followed by billowing black smoke and bursts of wailing. For a moment, it was as if he had been slapped in the head. The whole person was wooden, and he stood in place and couldn't move.
This is impossible, absolutely impossible, Cao Wangming is just an unpowerful prince, how can he have such courage!
Knowing that it was extremely dangerous outside, it would not be easy for him to escape smoothly, but he still pushed the door into a seemingly dilapidated room. After a while, he changed into clean clothes and walked out, but the abrasions on his elbows and knees were still faintly painful. At this moment, he didn't have time to deal with these injuries, which were by no means minor, and cautiously flashed out the door.
With such a big movement, there should be some people watching outside, and the people who pretended to watch the excitement in the past should not attract any attention.
However. He hadn't gone far along the cross alley when he caught a glimpse of a few roving warriors from afar, and there was no second pedestrian in the alley. He immediately took refuge in a deserted house next to him, ready to wait for these people to pass by before making a decision. Just then, he heard a burst of words coming from outside the wall.
"Who are the people over there, and why are they even using rockets?"
"Shhh, I heard that it was Haidong's treacherous rebellion, and Jin Wuwei sealed Ningrenfang!"
"Haidong? It's so far away. Not really, right? ”
The voice of the words faded away, but he heard it with a chill in his heart. If Ningrenfang is blocked, then how can he escape and deliver the letter? What if those hateful guys burned the house to the ground and then went back and searched the house after house?
Father, father, if you had set up the exit of that tunnel in some house that you could control, you would not have been in such a predicament. Stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood. Why don't you run away with me?
For Cheng Chumo, he actually resorted to such a desperate means as a rocket. Li Xian was taken aback. Cheng Bohu was in distress that day. Cheng Chumo, who is an old man, naturally takes revenge for his son as a matter of course, however. Although this one is rough and arrogant, he is meticulous in his heart, and his reasoning cannot be so ostentatious. As soon as his eyes rolled, he thought of four words - kill people and kill people.
It seems that this turmoil is very large, but as long as it can be planted on a certain force, then this matter can also be transformed from an internal crisis to an external crisis, and then there will be an excuse to hate the same enemy. As for what kind of paperwork and letters, getting it is not only useless, but also a hot potato. Cheng Chumo is from the military, so it is naturally more appropriate to come forward. He looked at Cheng Chumo while thinking, but saw that he threw a meaningful smile at him, so he simply shrugged his shoulders and ignored it.
Cutting grass and eradicating roots is easier said than done, so let Cheng Chumo solve it! Except for the time when he was a little frightened when he fought the tiger, the matter had nothing to do with him. Again...... Hmph, he had already sent someone to wait somewhere, as long as it didn't get to the worst point, there was no need to pursue this matter.
At Cheng's silent order, the torchbearer immediately lit the oil cloth on the arrow with the torch in his hand, and in an instant, one rocket after another flew over the high wall and into the courtyard inside, and there was a burst of exclamations inside. In a short time, three or five people rushed out of the courtyard gate, but they were turned into corpses under the blow of a strong bow and arrow.
And Li Xian once again strengthened his original idea - Cheng Chumo clearly didn't want to leave a living mouth!
If it weren't for the fact that he had a relatively clear understanding of this Lu Guogong, he would almost think that Cheng Chumo was a gang, and he would have to kill people at this time. Eyeballs rolled
Knowing that there was no room for himself to play tonight, he simply took Sheng Yunwen and others out of the house with their front feet, and Qu Tushenruo and Li Yanniang also led people out with their hind feet. Cao Wangming, who was outside, was relieved when he saw that this important person was unharmed.
"Thank goodness you're all right!"
Hearing Cao Wangming's emotion, Li Xianfang remembered that this time he was using other people's tiger skins as a banner, and immediately went up to comfort His Royal Highness the overly frightened imperial uncle. When he learned that Jin Wuwei had sealed off the entire Ningren Fang, and the patrolling warriors had isolated this place from other places, he immediately frowned slightly, and soon realized that this was a silent arrangement by Cheng Chu.
Forget it, even if he sends someone to inform him later, with Cheng Chumo's ears and eyes, I'm afraid that he will know what is happening here, but in the end, the favor will not be sent!
Things have come to this point, neither Cao Wangfu nor the generals of the Wei Chi family can play much role, but Cheng Chumo's hundreds of people have become the real main force. As soon as Li Xian proposed to retreat, Cao Wangming agreed, and although Qu Tushenruo and Li Yanniang felt bored, they both saw that the protagonist had changed this time, so they waved their hands to signal the troops.
By the time the house was completely enveloped by the flames, only the people directly under Cheng Chumo were left in the vicinity, and there were no other outsiders. However, on the roof of a certain house not far away, there was a thin man with eyes like black beans, staring at the house where the fire started and the surrounding streets and alleys for a long time.
Although the patrolling warriors were three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, after all, they were the original team members who were originally on duty in Ningrenfang, and a few of them were known to him who had just escaped, and those people just brought clothes to cover his escape. After taking the bag of gold and silver money he brought out as his last reward, he finally changed his outfit and walked out of Ningrenfang, and the whole process was so smooth that he was surprised. Despite this, he still did not forget to look at the billowing black smoke with hatred when he went up to Dingdingmen Street.
Father, you wait, I will avenge you immediately!
He didn't notice at all that when he crossed Dingdingmen Street and walked away along Tongmen Street, the defenders of Dingdingmen were watching the people entering and leaving the city with vigilant eyes. Of course, even if he noticed, he wouldn't think it had anything to do with him, he thought that he was the only one who had escaped from the fire just now.
"Yawn!"
On the second floor of a wine shop adjacent to a large mansion, Cheng Bohu and Xue Dingshan were sitting bored by the window, four pairs of eyes staring at the flow of people below. The former couldn't help but yawn, and although the latter was concentrated, he gradually became a little overwhelmed. Finally, Cheng Bohu impatiently raised his glass and drank it all, and then retracted his gaze and glanced at Xue Dingshan.
"Xiao Xue, Liulang just let us squat here like a log? This is outrageous, isn't it? ”
Xue Dingshan didn't know why Li Xian wanted him and Cheng Bohu to stay in this place, but he admitted a dead reason - his brain is not smart, so there is no need to guess the plans of smart people, didn't he see that Qu Tu Zhongxiang and Zhou Xiao were still smart? However, he and Cheng Bohu are not clever, but they have not suffered much all along.
"Brother Bohu, if you're tired, just stare at it for a while, I'm here to guard!"
Cheng Bohu almost didn't squirt out a sip of wine when he heard this, and glanced at the serious Xue Dingshan with a depressed heart, he was finally sure that this guy didn't hear what he meant. He didn't bother to answer, and continued to stare at the crowd outside.
Suddenly, he noticed a servant-like man talking to the servant at the door on the other side, looking around alertly as he spoke. And with his natural good eyesight, he saw at a glance that the other party's feet seemed to be injured, and his arms didn't seem to be very flexible. Seeing that people had entered the house, he stood up and stepped forward to pat Xue Dingshan on the shoulder.
"Someone suspicious has gone in!"
Xue Dingshan also saw the man, but he didn't feel anything suspicious, and couldn't help but turn his head when he heard this. Who knew that Cheng Bohu didn't explain, so he pulled him downstairs quickly after drinking the order to settle the bill. Passing through the cross streets and alleys, and going around to the side door of another adjacent mansion outside the high wall, Cheng Bohu knocked lightly without saying a word, which immediately surprised Xue Dingshan - this is the side door of an irrelevant family, and the two of them were ordered to squat, how could they enter casually?
"Remember, say less and do less, everything is up to me!"
As soon as Cheng Bohu's words fell, a head poked out of it and swept it over the two people in front of him, and his stiff face was suddenly full of smiles: "It turned out to be Cheng Dashao, please come in." By the way, this is ......"
"This is Xiao Xue, as for which Xiao Xue it is, I don't need to say more!" Cheng Bohu's face was full of honest smiles, and he stuffed a handful of copper coins into the servant's hand, and then said in a low voice, "Xiao Xue and I went in first, you sent someone to Pei Wang Di to report a message, just say that Xiao Xue and I are here, understand?" ”
"The villain understands!" The servant happily shoved the money into his waist, stooped down to welcome the two men in, and beckoned a few more people to greet him, and hurried out of the door.
