Chapter 272: The Old Man Is Crazy Too
The anti-high alliance led by Chen Qian is in the stronghold of Qingzhou City, in the ordinary house in the west of the city,
Listening to the sound of fighting in the city, which was gradually fading, Steward Chen suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, he held his hands together, kept pacing in the courtyard, and looked in the direction of the gate from time to time.
In the courtyard, there are still seven or eight sturdy men, wearing tight-fitting Hu clothes, with a calm and fierce temperament, compared to Steward Chen, they seem to be calmer, one by one stands as pine, their eyes do not squint, they are obviously well-trained,
It's been more than half an hour, but the Jeju army still doesn't seem to have entered the city, and the Assassin's Mansion has not been broken, the longer the delay, the more unfavorable it will be to his side.
The stakes are very clear to Steward Chen, so he is becoming more and more panicked, Steward Chen's breathing has been disordered, his brows are furrowed, and fine beads of sweat appear on his forehead, but he doesn't care about wiping it.
Waiting is a heterogeneous torment, especially at the moment of life and death, waiting for the final result to appear, it is even more anxious and irritable.
Just when Steward Chen couldn't help but want to go out to inquire about the situation, the door of the confinement was suddenly slammed open, making his hanging heart skip a beat for no reason.
"Steward Chen, it's a big deal, it's a big deal."
Steward Chen looked over, and saw a disheveled, sweaty young man stumbling in from outside the door, his eyes were full of fear, and his voice was distorted due to trembling, this person was the little sixth son who was responsible for monitoring the movement of the east city gate before, and later was responsible for delivering news to the little five sons in the barracks.
"Hugh should be alarmed, what is going on." Steward Chen's heart sank suddenly, but he quickly calmed down and reprimanded,
"Steward Chen, my brother is dead, he is dead." Xiao Liuzi spoke with a crying tone, his feet were soft and he fell to the ground, tears flowed, and his body trembled violently like a sifting chaff.
Steward Chen was furious when he heard this, it was not a pity for a pariah to die, which made him worry for a while, and he couldn't help but scold loudly, wanting to vent all the uneasiness in his heart.
"Bastard thing, your brother won't die in vain, what are you panicking about."
"Steward Chen, Gao Xin has returned to the city." Seeing Steward Chen's fierce face, Xiao Liuzi trembled, and couldn't care about the pain of losing his brother, so he hurriedly stammered,
"What." Steward Chen was shocked, and screamed,
"The West City Gate is still in the hands of the Qingzhou Army, and the people who create chaos in the city are being strangled by Lu Zhishen's troops, and Gao Xin has also entered the city from the East City Gate, and the 10,000 Jeju troops outside the city have been dispersed." Xiao Liuzi forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, quickly finished the matter, and then looked at Steward Chen with a pleading face and said, "Steward Chen, we are defeated, run away, otherwise Gao Xin will definitely not let us go." ”
"Bastard, dare to bewitch the public, see if I don't kill you."
Steward Chen's face changed drastically, his old body suddenly burst out with powerful strength, and his whole body pounced on Xiao Liuzi like a mad bull, punching and kicking, until the latter wailed, but he didn't dare to resist,
Steward Chen is angry and attacking, so the strength of his hands and feet is surprisingly large, only seven or eight times, the little sixth son has broken his head and blood, for the little sixth son's painful howl and sad pleading, Steward Chen is deaf, until the strength is exhausted, panting like a cow before letting go of the little sixth son, and at this time the latter has fallen in a pool of blood, dying,
The reason why Steward Chen was so angry was that he didn't dare to accept the result of failure, thinking that Chen Qian had almost done everything to plan this turmoil, and the result of failure was simply unbearable, and Steward Chen was in charge of front-line command, whether he was derelict in his duties or not, he could not escape the blame, even if he escaped at this time and returned to Chen's mansion, there was only a dead end waiting for him.
Could it really be that the heavens are going to kill my Chen family,
Steward Chen leaned over, looked at the gloomy sky with grief and indignation, and roared loudly in his heart,
According to Chen Qian's plan, first Xiao Wuzi set fire to the barracks, so that Lu Zhishen had to return to the army to rescue, and then the slaves who were unwilling to endure the oppression attacked the Thorn History Mansion, even if they could not break through the Thorn History Mansion, they would also create great chaos in Qingzhou City, so that Lu Zhishen would be tired of coping, and at the same time send people to spread rumors in the city that the imperial army would attack the city, disturb the people's hearts, and hit the morale of the Qingzhou army.
This is one of the plans, the second plan is to use assassins disguised as students to attack and kill Happy, even if they can't achieve the set goal, they must stop Happy's pace of returning to Qingju City, and the biggest killing move is Jeju's 30,000 troops, 20,000 will attack the West City Gate with 1,000 dead soldiers, and 10,000 will make a detour to the east to rob and kill Happy.
The ideal is very plump, the reality is too skinny, Chen Qian's abacus is good, but unfortunately he underestimated Xingxing too much, not only underestimating Xingxing's own strength, but also underestimating Xingxing's power in Qingzhou City.
I am happy that this killing god, how many times has he experienced the test of life and death, in his previous life, he single-handedly walked on the edge of life and death, not to mention for the time being, just said that when he was in Chang'an City, he escaped from the hands of the Zhou army twice, is this accidental,
Although the assassin dressed as a student caught Xing off guard, Xing Xing's superhuman alertness and strength made him save the day, especially with the cooperation of Qin Qiong, Zhang Shunzhi, and Sun Li, those dozens of assassins were just grasshoppers after the autumn, and they couldn't jump a few times.
The appearance of Xuanwutang and Ling Xiaoyun further undermined Chen Qian's plan, although the thousand dead soldiers attacked with all their lives, killing and wounding nearly twice the Qingzhou army, but the west gate of Qingzhou City was now firmly in the hands of Lu Zhishen.
The Jeju army came from afar, the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, if the west city gate was broken, 20,000 horses drove straight in, and they could definitely take Qingzhou City with a strong momentum, but because of the appearance of Xuanwutang and Ling Xiaoyun, the west city gate was like an iron wall, the Jeju army acted in a hurry, lacking powerful siege equipment, and was baptized by the long-range weapons at the head of the city as soon as they arrived at the city, although they did not lose much manpower, but their morale was hit hard,
At the east gate where Chen Qian was bound to win, the situation had undergone a shocking reversal, and he almost single-handedly raised the morale of all the soldiers to the highest, and forcibly dragged down the pace of the 10,000 Jeju army, and Xiao Ling's appearance basically drew an end to this turmoil.
"Steward Chen, what should we do now, please give me your orders." A man who looked like a leader walked up a few steps, respectfully bowed to Steward Chen, and said in a deep voice,
This man looked at Steward Chen with a solemn face, without much fear and panic, and he didn't look at the little Liuzi who was moaning on the ground, they were the dead soldiers raised by Chen Qian, and their lives no longer belonged to themselves, so they had long looked down on death, and there was no difference between Xiao Liuzi living or dying in their eyes.
"What should I do, yes, the defeat is decided, what should I do." Steward Chen was shocked, muttering to himself for a while, looking at the increasingly hazy sky, he became more and more dazed,
Suddenly, Steward Chen saw a large red glow in the distant sky, he was slightly stunned, and then his face showed a touch of madness, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Gao Xin Xiaoer, even if the old man is going to die, he will never let you feel better, look at it, even if you win, it will make you break your muscles and bones, aren't you merciful to those untouchables, look at what you will do this time, hahahaha." ”
After speaking, Steward Chen actually looked up to the sky and laughed, his voice was as poignant as a night owl, which was full of hatred, which made people shudder,
After a while, Steward Chen's laughter suddenly stopped, his eyes were red, as if he could drip blood, his face was completely distorted, hideous and terrifying, as if he was venting the last madness in his heart, "Chen Twelve, everyone in the courtyard will take the fire oil to the city and set fire, no matter the location, no matter the direction, the bigger the fire, the better, your task is just to set fire, don't pay attention to anything else." ”
"Yes." Chen Twelve was stunned for a moment, then firmly agreed and hurriedly walked towards the kitchen with the other strong men,
In addition to Steward Chen and the little six sons lying on the ground, there were more than 30 people in the house, and after a short time, these people came to Steward Chen with a few cans of fire oil.
"Erlang, it's up to you whether we can turn defeat into victory, you can rest assured, if anyone unfortunately dies, his family ** Xiao Chen Mansion will definitely not be treated badly, and now start executing the order." Although Steward Chen's voice slowed down a little, everyone couldn't see much hope of victory and survival from his gloomy and distorted face.
"Yes." Everyone agreed, and then resolutely walked out of the gate with the tools for setting fire.
Steward Chen looked at the backs of everyone leaving, the fierceness in his eyes dissipated a little, and was replaced by sadness and helplessness, he glanced at the little six sons lying on the ground hatefully, and then said angrily: "Still lying on the ground, don't you have to ask the old man to pick you up." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." Xiao Liuzi replied hurriedly, saying that he used his hands and feet together, endured the pain on his body, climbed up as fast as he could, looked at Steward Chen with a panicked face, and didn't even dare to wipe the dirty blood from the corners of his eyes, and the clothes on his body were already soaked with sweat and blood.
"Go to the kitchen and get oil and pour it all over the house." Steward Chen snorted coldly, and then commanded,
"Steward Chen, ...... you" Xiao Liuzi was suddenly shocked, and couldn't help but hesitate to ask, before his voice came out, he was facing Steward Chen's cold and hideous eyes, so shocked that he quickly closed his mouth, and walked towards the kitchen with two trembling waves,
"What to do, I haven't tasted a woman yet, I don't want to die." Xiao Liuzi stood in the kitchen, staring blankly at the oil tank in the corner of the wall, his heart was full of fear and unwillingness.
I thought that I could achieve great things and live a rich life with Steward Chen, but I didn't want my brother to be killed by the Red Turban Warrior, and now I was like a lost dog, so Steward Chen not only had no sympathy, but beat himself up, Xiao Liuzi was resentful, but he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak,
Knowing that Steward Chen had the heart of a dead fish and a broken net, Xiao Liuzi hated and feared in his heart, holding the oil tank in the kitchen, but he just refused to go out.
"Little Liuzi, what are you grinding, does it take so long to get a fire oil can, hurry up." After waiting for a long time, Steward Chen suddenly reprimanded loudly,
"Steward Chen is so interested, do you want to prepare a bonfire party?" Just as Xiao Liuzi was about to answer, a joking voice suddenly came from afar, and then a loud noise was heard, and the door of the mansion was broken.
