The Jiangning Mansion shrouded in night is a brightly lit night scene, especially the painting boats and flower boats gathered in Xuanwu Lake and Mochou Lake, as well as the upstream of the Qinhuai River waterway, which have become the most conspicuous and dazzling existence.

However, in the darkness of the curfew in other urban areas, the sudden emergence of several surging dragons of fire seemed a little out of place and out of place; They were like a howling wind that suddenly blows in the darkness and silence; While illuminating the places passed, it also brought a large area of chaos and commotion along the way.

Whether it is the passers-by who hurriedly retreated to the street, or behind the doors of the shops that have not yet been fully covered along the street, or the lights that can be vaguely seen swaying with the running, those flashes of armor are sparkling or shimmering.

Eventually, the firelight and the direction of the long dragon converged along the avenue between the castles and gathered around Konishi on the north side of the outer country, and then all of a sudden, a large area of light and the movement it brought disappeared as if swallowed by darkness with the lanterns and torches that had been extinguished one after another.

A moment later, the dimly lit and drumming of Konishi suddenly erupted into a rapid and fierce shouting of killing, as well as a continuous sound of banging and crackling.

。。。。。。。

At the same time, I, who was comforting the frightened little Jin Jun but was temporarily called over by my subordinates, also stood at the highest point of the West Gate Tower of Stone City, looking at everything that was happening in Xiaoxi City from afar;

Of course, it had been abandoned by our own accord, and all that was left was an empty camp, a dozen sheep tied up to play trumpets and drums, and a bunch of traps and preset explosives.

Of course, there are still two teams of lurking hunters scattered in the outer buildings, responsible for harassing and containing them in troubled waters, but I didn't expect to be able to channel the results of the battle to this extent, or rather, things have developed in the direction of the worst.

Just over an hour ago,

When I made sure that everyone was back in Stone Town, I breathed a sigh of relief; After all, most of my belongings and affiliates are still here. Among them are Shi Niang and Wen Tingjun, who has only been used once.

It was originally a strategic point and military stronghold surrounded by three city walls in the west to the Yangtze River waterway, which was first built in the seventh year of King Chuwei (333 BC), and later built a stone city by the Eastern Wu relying on the stone mountain by the river, and used it as a dangerous point and screen domain to protect the Jingshi Jianye of the Eastern Wu Dynasty.

However, after being continuously renovated and expanded as the former capital of the Southern Dynasties, it has become a large inner city area composed of many palace communities. The original old stone town, or stone town in the narrow sense, was only a corner of the high ground in the northwest corner after the obstructive city walls were demolished, and the slopes were rebuilt to form a cascading garden and garden.

The process of coming back with a large number of people is actually very simple.

It's just that I made a quick decision, and took the first step to call out the deputy eunuch of the palace on duty in the name of Xiao Jinjun, and then used the name of this coerced unlucky ghost to open the way, and it was easy to open the east side gate, one of the three gates of Stone City; Then it was my escort force that swarmed in, directly suppressed and controlled the access control, and obtained a passage in and out.

By the time the guards at the other gates got the news and came to find out, most of the battalions of escorts I had pulled out of Konishi City, along with the accompanying supplies, wagons, horses, and baggage, had already driven in;

Then, on the grounds that I was attacked in the second half of the way and I was suspected of being a spy in the palace, and I betrayed inside and outside the city to reveal my whereabouts, I further occupied and replaced the access control and guarding forces in other places.

Under all kinds of surprise or helplessness, they were not even able to give birth to many thoughts of resistance and resistance, they were surrounded and disarmed by superior force from the rear, and concentrated in a disguised circle and went elsewhere.

And it was then that I understood why it was so easy and easy to call in.

Because in the process of taking over, in these access control stations, I actually found a number of prohibited things, from all kinds of gambling equipment and drinking utensils such as Pu Ya Cards, to all kinds of vocal instruments for eating, drinking and playing, and even a few female actors who had been hiding in them for a long time;

Moreover, in the past two days, several captains and lieutenants who were the chief officers were not in office, but secretly went out to Mochou Lake, where there was no curfew, to drink flower wine; As a result, as soon as there was something that night, the dragons did not dare to act without a leader and began to catch blind, which shows that the gallop and slackness in the weekdays are gone, but,

In fact, since the base camp and the Xingzai were successively transferred back to Guangfu, the management of the inner city of the Xinggong where Stone Town is located has gradually become more and more sloppy and lax, so that on weekdays, the palace supervisors and guards ignore the curfew and gate guards, openly enter and leave the homes of the inner city and the outer Guo at night, or secretly run out to have fun, almost everywhere.

This also made me confirm one thing again, at least the palace guards in this stone city were not completely involved in this potential turmoil and conspiracy, or the other party did not fancy such a lax and trained armed force.

There is a group of guards following the left and right, and the peace of mind and feeling of several battalions of soldiers and horses arching guards by their side is completely different.

Although there will be a lot of trouble and right and wrong afterwards, compared to fighting a bunch of lawsuits in the future, or accepting some punishment for cutting the knight-level estate;

However, it is completely unwise and irresponsible to continue to run headlong into the opponent for no reason after discovering some kind of malicious and targeted clues, and to recklessly trap one's own safety in the preset home field of the other side, or to hope that the other side can abide by the bottom limit of the struggle and the political rules.

"What a damn thing."

At this time, the report came back again, and it suddenly made me feel a little uplifted. However, some animals specially used to test food safety began to show symptoms and abnormalities invariably.

Because it is the vision and experience of modern people, when my army travels abroad, for the sake of food hygiene and soil environment safety, my army will generally carry some specially bred small and medium-sized animals for targeted poison testing and battlefield pathological experiments, so as to effectively pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages in an unfamiliar environment.

It is estimated that the time is about two or three days ago, the day when the Jiangning Mansion sent my escort army to reward wine and meat; However, because of the need for vigilance at that time, he did not take food on the spot, but first used the pigs, sheep and other animals brought as a test; As for the troops on duty that day, they raised their own food and beverages, using freshly made live pigs and sheep and canned food.

I didn't expect that it was such a little caution that allowed them to avoid the harm of giving people a bad situation and losing their combat effectiveness;

Because the wine and food sent by the other party are not mixed with some strong poisons, but some meals are combined to form a chronic prescription primer, so the ordinary means of drug detection do not work, and there will be no results for a while; However, it can gradually flare up and down afterwards, and gradually lose strength after vomiting and diarrhea.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but order the search and arraignment to be sent to the internal envoy at that time, but then I found that even the specific people and their superiors were no longer in this stone city. The intentions in this are inevitably particularly unpredictable and frightening.

In addition, in the process of seizing the gate, according to the reports of the secret sentinels and patrol teams lying in ambush on the periphery of the city, and taking advantage of the chaos in the palace as a cover, from the gate that we deliberately relaxed temporarily, there were seven suspicious people who sneaked out one after another to report the news. One of them was killed on the spot, one was seriously injured, and the remaining five were also arrested; It's just that their identity and origin are a little complicated:

Including a small yellow door, a sprinkler palace servant, two guards of different affiliations, and even a palace man dressed up as a man, well, what is this and what.

In this way, the torture and interrogation were carried out overnight, dozens of names were implicated, and they were arrested and searched one by one according to the map, but most of the evidence and clues of various filth and dirt were found in this palace.

However, there were other discoveries on the body of the seriously injured one.

Because compared to other prisoners who were slightly coerced and intimidated, and knew everything about pouring beans from bamboo tubes, although the interrogation was suspended because he was seriously injured, he actually took advantage of the moment when the guards were unprepared, and tore his bandaged wounds with force, and quickly bled to death.

It is said that when he died, he still had a stiff expression of relief.
