Chapter 162: Filling the Pit
The jade pendant is warm and comfortable to use, even in the middle of a summer night, it will not make people feel scorching, on the contrary, it is like a long-awaited piece of good news, which can instantly soothe the body and mind, remove the mania from the inside out, and at the same time stimulate the inner fighting spirit.
Xiaocao reached out and grabbed a jade pendant and held it tightly, like everyone else, she wanted more jade pendants.
But the pit was already quiet, no longer spewing out anything, there was nothing in the air, there were a few left on the ground, and dozens of people were fighting for it......
Xiaocao still has a trace of sanity, knowing that he can't rob these people, so he looks around, hoping to find the fish that slipped through the net.
She saw a person, and everyone else was scrambling around the pit, and only this person was stepping back, and he was also looking at her, and his mouth seemed to be shouting something.
Like the last step of climbing the peak, Xiaocao felt very difficult, and after a while, she felt a flash in her heart, and suddenly realized that it was not a stranger, but Hu Guiyang, this person...... This person kept her golden hairpin.
Xiaocao walked towards Hu Guiyang, still holding the jade pendant tightly in his hand.
"Hey, recognize me?" Hu Guiyang said with a smile, trying to encourage Xiaocao, "Believe me, although Jin Dan is good, you have to be able to use it, what is Jin Dan ......?"
Xiaocao walked up to Hu Guiyang and stretched out his other hand, "Give me back the hairpin." ”
"You owe me a favor that you haven't repaid......"
"Later, the hairpin is not safe in your hands, return it to me, I will keep it myself." Xiaocao insisted on his opinion.
Hu Guiyang took out the small package containing the golden hairpin from his arms and opened it layer by layer, "Be careful alone, no one here will help you." ”
Xiaocao didn't take the golden hairpin, turned around and looked, those people were still scrambling, all the gold pills already had owners, and they began to rob the treasures in the hands of others.
There's really no one here to help each other.
Xiaocao turned around and looked at Hu Guiyang, her heart felt like she had been hit hard, and she lost her soul for a moment, "Brother Hu......"
Hu Guiyang put the golden hairpin on the palm of Xiaocao's hand, "I'm leaving here, what about you?" ”
"I'll go with you." Xiaocao almost forced himself to say this, for fear that he would regret it if he hesitated any longer, and put the golden hairpin back into Hu Guiyang's hand, and handed over the jade pendant in his right hand.
The jade pendant that was red all over his body, Hu Guiyang also felt its warmth, it was a strange feeling that made people attached, like a small room in the cold winter wax moon, as long as they entered the door, no one wanted to go out.
Hu Guiyang was frightened by this, handed the golden hairpin to his left hand, picked up his right arm, and threw the jade pendant with all his strength.
The red jade pendant flew towards the crowd, like a spark falling on dry grass, and everyone flocked to it, and one of them moved the fastest.
The jade pendant fell into the hands of Third Sister He, she had just dragged Hu Guiyang out of the crowd with a heavenly technique, and it was not a problem to seize the jade pendant.
Hu Guiyang wanted to call her name again, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, he had already expected that Third Sister He handed over the jade pendant was just an expedient measure, and she couldn't bear this final temptation.
Xiaocao was extremely disappointed in her heart, but she was no longer attached to Yu Pei, "Do you want to go now?" ”
"Let's go." Hu Guiyang took another look, turned around and walked towards the doorway to the middle courtyard with Xiaocao.
"Hu Guiyang!" Someone was calling his name.
The torches had all been extinguished, and the crowd in the distance was in chaos, Hu Guiyang could only faintly hear the shouting, but he couldn't see where the people were, so he replied loudly: "I'm here!" Doorway! ”
A behemoth flew in the distance, and Hu Guiyang dragged the grass and hurriedly dodged it.
It was a fan, who fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood, turned over and crawled towards the crowd, trying to continue to fight for the jade pendant.
The grass is like ashes, "I'm almost ......"
The two of them walked against the wall, and Hu Guiyang immediately greeted him, "Yuan Mao? ”
"It's me, and the old way." Yuan Mao dragged Fan Dajian over, and Hu Guiyang stepped forward to help and walked faster.
"Crazy, I'm crazy, everybody's crazy." Fan Dajian was not lightly injured, and he was still muttering, "It's good that I didn't grab a single one, otherwise...... It's crazy, Hu Guiyang, how can you ......"
"Let's get out of here first." Hu Guiyang took one last look, among the slender figures, he recognized the light and ethereal Third Sister He at a glance, she had been hiding her strength, and at this time she all showed it, flying and circling over the crowd, one after another red jade flew from everyone's hands and arms to the new owner in the air like moths to a fire......
The damage to the Fuzhi Yamen was not as serious as imagined, the portal and the road were passable, and the four of them quickly walked out into the street, looking left and right, and the few lanterns in the city had disappeared.
Hu Guiyang let go of the injured Fan Dajian, "You guys wait here, I'll go find the prefect and the garrison." ”
"I'll go with you." Once he got rid of the temptation of the jade pendant, Fan Dajian never wanted to stay in this ghost place full of yin energy.
"As long as you don't have a jade pendant, you're safe." Hu Guiyang didn't want to be burdensome, nodded to Yuan Mao, and ran in the direction of the prefect's yamen.
Fan Dajian was injured in the leg, sat down on the steps slowly, took off his coat, tore it into strips with force, used it to bandage the wound, and said in a lamented voice: "It's all Hu Guiyang's fault, why did he come here?" Why did you throw the jade pendant into the Dan cave? Why is there nothing to be done about it after causing an accident? ”
Yuan Mao helped bandage, "Don't say a few words, everyone couldn't help but be involuntary at that time, and Hu Guiyang must have no choice." Don't say he's helpless, isn't he going to find someone? ”
"Hehe, you are really a good follower, Lord Yuan gave you up, it was him...... Hey. ”
Hu Guiyang ran out of the way, found that Xiaocao was following closely behind him, and did not drive away, beckoning her to step forward, "Are you willing to listen to me?" ”
"Hmm."
"Put away the chain gun, I didn't let me do it, don't fight with anyone."
"Hmm."
The small Yunyang City is now like a cloud, and Hu Guiyang doesn't want Xiaocao to take risks.
The gate, small door, side door, and back door of the prefect's yamen were all closed, the lanterns were all extinguished, and only the stone lions watched the door.
Hu Guiyang knocked on the door first, there was no response inside, looked left and right, and saw that the Dengwen drum was not far away, so he ran over, but he couldn't find the drumstick, and the position of the drum was relatively high, and he could only touch the edge with his raised hands, and he couldn't make too loud sound.
"I'll come." Xiaocao volunteered.
Hu Guiyang crossed his hands and let Xiaocao step on it, holding her up entirely.
Xiaocao punched the drums, banging, half of the city could hear it, don't want to pretend to be confused in the yamen.
Finally, someone shouted from the yamen: "Who is beating the drum?" ”
Hu Guiyang put the grass down and said loudly: "The brocade guard is here, and immediately let the prefect Wu Yuan come out!" ”
The person inside was obviously startled, and his momentum suddenly decreased, "You wait, I'll report ......"
"Hurry up, delay the major affairs of the court, take you and ask."
"...... right away"
It was indeed immediately, and it didn't take long for the side door to open, and a middle-aged official walked out, with a few subordinates, and hurriedly walked down the steps, "Are you Hu Guiyang?" ”
"Are you Wu Yuan Wu Governor?" Hu Guiyang was not polite.
"Yes."
"Send me troops immediately?"
"What do you do with the transfer of troops?"
"You must have heard the sound in the Fuzhi Yamen, don't take chances, this is not the end, but the beginning, if you don't stop it immediately, the entire Yunyang Mansion will be affected, how can you be the prefect?"
Wu Yuan was the first prefect of Yunyang Mansion personally recommended by Fuzhi Yuanjie, and this term of office was crucial to his future promotion, and there was no room for mistakes.
"How many soldiers?"
"The more the merrier."
"Then I'll have to go to Lord Guard."
"Go now."
The two walked towards the nearby Xingdu Si Yamen while talking, Wu Yuan glanced at Xiaocao, puzzled, but didn't say anything.
The purpose of setting up Yunyang Mansion is to settle the displaced people, and it is necessary to give both grace and power, grace is to settle down, give land, loan seeds, and borrow cattle, and Wei is a large number of garrisons.
Zang Lian wears many hats, and when Lord Fuzhi is not there, he is in charge of all the guards in the territory, and in case of an emergency military situation, he can first send troops to the prefect's yamen for the record.
The gate here was also closed, and the prefect Wu Yuan sent someone to call the door and took the opportunity to ask, "What happened over there?" ”
"It's hard to put into words." Hu Guiyang couldn't explain it clearly, "You have to knock down the entire Fuzhi Yamen and seal the pit." ”
"Is it a god or a ghost?" Wu Yuan's voice trembled a little.
Hu Guiyang didn't open his mouth yet, and called the official at the door to come back, "Inside refused to open the door, saying that it was waiting for dawn ......"
Wu Yuan forgot about his panic in the yamen just now, and said angrily: "Dawn? It's late in the morning. ”
Wu Yuan strode up the steps, stood outside the gate and said loudly: "Zang is guarded, the prefect Wu Yuan has something important to visit, and the officials are all there, if you don't open the door, this matter will be recorded in the chapter......"
This sentence really worked, and Zang Lian stood behind the door, "It turned out to be Governor Wu, the younger brother doesn't know, there is a lot of neglect." Open the door. ”
Zang Lian is a military general, if he goes into battle to kill the enemy and arrest thieves, he is all at it, but he is at a loss for the strange things that happened in the yamen.
"Mobilize troops, immediately transfer troops." Wu Yuan was not polite, and made a request as soon as he saw Zang Lian.
"Where? Who are you going to hit? ”
"Attack the Fuzhi Yamen."
"Huh? The matter ...... The matter ...... What's going on over there? Zang Lian asked the same question.
Hu Guiyang was already prepared, and stepped forward and said: "There are foreign objects gushing out of the pit in the backyard of the Fuzhi Yamen, and the people of Jinyi Wei Nansi and Dongchang are caught in it, and the pit must be blocked as soon as possible." ”
"Foreign bodies? What foreign body? Zang Lian was even more afraid.
"Don't be afraid, I brought Fan Dajian, the real person from the Lingji Palace in the capital, he is casting a spell over there to suppress it, and the foreign body has been controlled, but I have to send troops to help as soon as possible." Hu Guiyang found that he really couldn't do without Fan Dajian, and if necessary, he had to raise the name of Lingji Palace in order to quickly gain the trust of others.
The prefect Wu Yuan and the garrison Zang Lian sighed at the same time, and their faces suddenly softened.
"It turns out that the real people of Lingji Palace came to cast the spell in person, okay, I will immediately send troops, there are three or five hundred people in the city, and there are four or five thousand people in the camp outside the city, and more troops can only be dispatched from other places."
"Enough, bring more equipment, we have to demolish the house and fill the pit."
Hu Guiyang took Xiaocao to take the first step, and Wu and Zang jointly dispatched troops.
In front of the gate of the Fuzhi Yamen, Fan Dajian was still sitting on the steps humming and chirping, and cheered when he saw Hu Guiyang.
"Old Dao, hurry up and cast spells."
"Spellcasting? It's not about casting spells......"
"Listen to me, as soon as you cast a spell, the whole city will come to help."
"There are many rituals, which one should I do?"
"Whatever you want."
Fan Dajian was helped up by Yuan Mao, took out a few magic weapons from his arms, handed them to Yuan Mao, posed by himself, pinched the sword technique, and whispered a mantra facing the door, his voice became louder and faster, and no one could hear what he was saying, and he didn't care, but he became more and more at ease.
The officers and soldiers of the city were the first to arrive, and immediately began to dig and push the wall, and after the shaking just now, most of the houses that were repairing the yamen were no longer solid, and could not withstand the scrutiny and chiseling of the people, and collapsed one after another.
When the thousands of officers and soldiers outside the city arrived, the speed of demolishing the yamen was even faster.
A group of people ran out of the backyard, shouting and shouting, Hu Guiyang ordered all the officers and soldiers to be taken down and sent to the prefect's yamen for detention.
The officers and soldiers pushed to the backyard, the sky was already dark, there were several corpses lying in the courtyard, the deep pit was still there, no one dared to approach, Fan Dajian chanted a mantra loudly, Hu Guiyang personally threw down the first brick, and the officers and soldiers followed suit.
Hu Guiyang deliberately searched for it, everyone was there, either dead or captured, only He Sanjie and Wen Buhua disappeared without a trace.
