On the third day of the siege, the Xiliang army did not move, and more than 100,000 troops hid in the camp to escape the heat and enjoy the coolness.

On the fourth day, it was still calm outside the city.

The sun was blazing, the heat wave was rolling, and there was not even a trace of wind in the air.

In the next two days, the outside of the city was still calm, and there was no movement in the camp outside the four gates.

This gave the defenders in the city an illusion, as if the Xiliang army really did not plan to attack on a large scale, and guarded the periphery of the city without attacking, trying to trap the Yizhou army in the city alive.

It's just ridiculous!

How big is the city of Chengdu, and how abundant is the money and food, how can it be forced to surrender by besieging the city on all sides?

In this situation, not only Zhang Ren has this thought, but even the soldiers under his account also have this thought, and they all feel that the Xiliang Army under the city has come on an expedition, and they actually besiege it without attacking, which is really naïve, ridiculous, stupid, and arrogant.

On the seventh day, the weather changed abruptly. In the morning, the sun was still hanging in the sky, the heat wave was churning, and in the afternoon there was a sudden gale, and the dark clouds covered the sun, and the clouds chased and rolled, and quickly folded up. Immediately, the wind was fierce, the thunder was gusting, and the thicker and thicker dark clouds sank sharply, shrouding the sky over Chengdu.

This?????? It was a black cloud that overwhelmed the city.

After an afternoon of brewing, in the evening, with a "click" explosion, an incandescent lightning bolt ran through the sky, and the thunderous thunder and lightning followed each other like a shadow, like a drum cheering, the rumbling sound was low and long, and it lasted for a long time. Not much. The howling and roaring wind rushed towards Chengdu City with a loud "pop" sound, only to see hail as big as red dates appear in the sky and fall obliquely. Blatantly smashed into the ground.

"Bang bang

In the loud bang, the hail of jujube size fell on the rubble of the house, thumping and rolling down; Hit the leaves, and the green leaves were shot down hard; fell on pedestrians who had not yet returned home to hide from the rain, and they ran and jumped, and fled in the wilderness; It smashed on the tent and rattled. It's like a piece of music. One moment, hail came suddenly, and the next heavy rain poured down. In an instant, the huge city of Chengdu was shrouded in a curtain of water, and all the creatures within a radius of hundreds of miles were immersed in the watering of the storm.

Chengdu Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, Liu Zhang's Mansion.

Just as the rain was pouring down, a two-horse carriage braved the rain. Straight to the state governor's mansion. Forthwith. The carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, and out of it came two tall and sturdy men in brocade clothes, and the leader casually greeted him, and then stepped into the palace gate with another man who was almost a foot tall and wore a black cloak, and then went straight down the corridor to the main hall.

Seeing that the master had already left, the nervous coachman took out the yellow silk umbrella and jumped out of the carriage, and the soldier in front of the door barely had time to stretch out his hand to stop him, and saw that the tall and thin coachman had already jumped over the threshold. In the blink of an eye, he caught up with the two brocade-clothed men who were walking in front.

Seeing the coachman passing in front of him and the others, he instantly caught up with the owner in front. The soldiers had no choice but to shake their heads helplessly, and immediately did not chase after them. Not only that, but because the coachman was lazy, the priest had to drive the carriage to the stables for him to hide from the rain. After doing this, the armor soldiers stood under the eaves as if nothing had happened.

Obviously, the person who greeted him just now was a frequent visitor to the State Governor's Mansion, and his status was not ordinary, so the soldiers did not hesitate to let him go. As for who he brought to see the lord Liu Zhang, the guards of the palace gate had no right to ask, even if something went wrong, it had nothing to do with them, the janitors, who brought it in was responsible.

After some distance from the gate of the mansion, the middle-aged man in brocade who had just walked in front deliberately slowed down his pace, fell behind the man wearing a black cloak, and looked around, the corridor was stormy outside, and there were no outsiders within thirty steps of the corridor. So the middle-aged man said in a low voice: "The last general has just been rude, please be polite and tolerant." ”

The man in the cloak stopped when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, you need it." Ziyuan is witty and resolute, good at improvisation, and is really talented. After this matter subsides, if Ziyuan is willing to go to Zhongyuan Prefecture to take up a post, he can tell me directly, and he will not let you down at that time. "This is an undisguised official wish. It is not difficult to see that there is a certain risk in their visit to the state governor's mansion this time, so the man in the cloak will promise benefits bluntly. This is what it means that if you want a horse to run, you have to feed it first.

"The Lord is serious." The middle-aged man's expression was shocked when he heard this, and an unconcealable excitement appeared between his eyebrows, so he said respectfully: "The last general is at the disposal of the lord, but there is an order, and the last general will definitely live up to the lord's trust." The volume of the last character is consciously raised by half a point, as a way to show that he has a great desire and a great appetite.

Obviously, the middle-aged man is indeed not a mediocre talent, he knows the intention of the man in the cloak to make a wish, and he should climb even if he follows the pole and take the opportunity to speak. In this way, not only can he get tangible benefits, but also make the man in the cloak feel at ease with him, which can be described as a pun and kill two birds with one stone. On the contrary, if he pretends to be reserved and asks for nothing, it will make the man in the cloak feel uneasy about him, and he will inevitably be suspicious. This alertness is really rare, no wonder the man in the cloak said that he was witty and resolute, and what he said was true, and he was extremely accurate.

After a pause, the middle-aged man pointed to the palace fifty steps away in front of him on the left, and said in a low voice: "Lord, look, that is the main hall of the state capital." However, judging from the number of guards in front of the door, Liu Zhang must not be in the lobby at this moment, otherwise there will be at least more than 100 guards guarding the door. According to his recent habits, at this time, he should gather his cronies and close ministers in the second hall in the back to discuss some things secretly. I don't have to rush to see him, we can go to the gazebo next to us and sit for a while, and then we will go to see him after everyone has left. What is the Lord's will? ”

The man in the cloak bowed his head slightly thoughtfully, and muttered: "When I entered the mansion just now, I noticed that there were four carriages parked in the stables on the west side of the mansion gate, which I thought were the cars of Liu Jiyu's cronies. In this case, according to what Ziyuan said, Kong Ming also needs some preparation time, so why not go to the pavilion and wait for a while. Zicheng doesn't have to follow, you can investigate first, just in case. In contemplation, the man in the cloak made a decision. As soon as the words fell, he turned around and patted the coachman called "Zicheng" on the shoulder, and motioned for him to go to the second hall behind the main hall to investigate the situation.

The coachman nodded without saying a word, and handed the yellow silk umbrella in his hand to the man in the cloak, and in a flash, he reached the back of the column in the corridor two feet away, and then jumped forward, and then disappeared into the rain and fog of lightning and thunder, and disappeared without a trace.

After seeing this scene, the middle-aged man was secretly shocked and shocked. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have absolutely not believed that there were people in the world who had fast speed, this is a living body as light as a swallow, flying eaves and walking on the wall! Only then did he truly realize that the name of "General Fei" was by no means in vain, but deserved, and he did have a magical ability, which made him unattainable and ashamed.

Seeing the "coachman" leave, the man in the cloak whispered: "There are many people here, so it is not advisable to stay for a long time. Ziyuan led the way, and I went to the pavilion immediately, so as not to attract attention and cause trouble. ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately nodded his head in understanding, and walked forward with the man in the cloak for more than a dozen steps, and then turned and headed east. There is the garden in the front yard, and the pavilion is hidden in the rain and fog, and you can sit in the pavilion and take in the view of the lights in front of the main hall and the door of the house, but no one else can see anything in the pavilion.

?????? The rain kept falling, the wind roared, the lightning thundered; Time flowed quietly, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Zai, stay here, I don't know where the lord is now, he hasn't rested yet, right?" In half an hour, two people left from the main hall, and when the third person crossed the threshold and was about to leave, the middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"Well, it turned out to be General Ziyuan. The discussion has ended, the lord is upset, drank a few more glasses, and is already slightly drunk at the moment, and now don't drive Zhang Song to order someone to serve the lord's public security. It is General Yi Ziyuan who asks to see the lord at this time, I am afraid that ??????"

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, "General Ziyuan" interjected: "In this case, there must be Brother Lao Youzai to accompany him again." After all, the young brother has just come out, and he is going to meet the lord with him at this moment, if the lord does not want to see me, for the sake of the young brother, he will not blame me. Brother Zai, please! Before the words fell, he picked up Dong He and walked back, obviously pulling hard, and Dong He was not allowed to refuse.

It goes without saying that the "General Ziyuan" is the Zhonglang general Wu Yi and Wu Ziyuan, and the man in the cloak who followed him and called him the "lord" was Li Li and Li Wenchang.

At this moment, the middle-aged civil official who was forcibly carried back by Wu Yi was the current Chengdu Ling Dong He, the word Youzai.

In the face of Wu Yi, who acted arrogantly, Dong He felt helpless, and being held by Wu Yi's arm like this made him feel insulted and unseemly. So he immediately relented: "General Ziyuan, let go, and I'll accompany you for a while." ”

When he turned his head to speak, Dong He noticed that there was a person behind Wu Yi, and he was wearing a black cloak, covering most of his face, and he couldn't see his appearance at all.

Seeing this, Dong He's expression changed abruptly, pointed at Li Li, whose face was covered by a black cloak, and said to Wu Yi urgently: "General Ziyuan, this person is 、、、 if Dong is not mistaken, there seems to be no person with such a tall figure among my Yizhou civil and military forces?" ”

There was no need for Wu Yi to answer, Li Li casually lifted his cloak after hearing the sound, and said with a smile on his face: "What Brother Young Zai said is good. Don't hide it from my brother, a certain and Liu Zhoumu are old friends, they have known each other for many years, and they naturally want to visit the state pastor when they pass through Yizhou this time; If you don't give up, you can go to him. ”
