Qiu Yizhi didn't know what she had to say so far, so she had to get up and walk to the depths of the cell.

Unexpectedly, he walked halfway, but was stopped by Yang Ying'er, who was living in the cell, and saw that she took a kneaded towel in her hand and handed it to Qiu Yizhi, and said, "My lord is going to see that thief Dao Gu, right?" ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded, but heard Yang Ying'er say again: "What is the adult going to do with her?" A good rest is the real thing. ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he took the towel handed over by Yang Ying'er, only to realize that the towel was soaked in cold water, so he unfolded it and wiped it vigorously on his face and arms, sweeping away the sludge and oil that had accumulated all day on his skin, and his whole head was suddenly refreshed.

So he returned the towel to Yang Ying'er and said, "It's not a big deal, listen to what she has to say when she dies, and it won't take much time!" ”

saw Yang Ying'er hand over a slightly warm towel, and sighed: "My lord avenged me and my dead husband, and I actually caused such a big trouble." The people's daughter is really dead and can't be retributed......"

Qiu Yizhi took this warm towel and gently pressed it on his face - suddenly the pores on his skin were all opened, and his whole body was indescribably comfortable, so Qiu Yizhi smiled: "This is the duty of this official." Besides, with just your two towels, one cold and one hot, it is worth the hardship and tiredness. Speaking of which, it's really a woman who can serve people, Zhao Chengxiao They can't think of this hand even if they break their heads! ”

Yang Ying'er's face flushed when she was told by Qiu Yizhi, but she didn't know how to respond, so she had to go down with a red face.

Qiu Yizhi didn't have time to carefully figure out her thoughts, and went straight to the deepest part of the cell, but saw Miaozhen smile and said to herself: "My lord, I don't know how many years of poor Dao, I can't kill only twelve or thirteen people. But adults killed hundreds of people in just one day, I'm afraid this crime is more than mine, right? ”

Her few words immediately fanned Qiu Yi's heart to anger, and she glanced at Miao Zhen with a gloomy face and said, "Do you really think that the lives of these hundred or so officers and soldiers will be recorded in my account?" It's just adding a bit of sin to you. With that, he didn't wait for Miaozhen to answer, turned around and went back to his chaise longue to rest.

After a big battle during the day, the offensive of the official army finally stopped, so that Qiu Yizhi and others could eat and sleep well at night and restore their combat effectiveness.

Early the next morning, the officers and troops came back to attack.

But they couldn't come up with any good way, so they still repeatedly threw troops into the barricades as they did the day before, fighting with Qiu Yizhi for the door of the cell - such an old trick, Qiu Yizhi was not afraid, and organized the only troops under his command to eat with the opponent, and never let them take advantage of it in the slightest.

The officers and troops seemed to attack aimlessly until noon, when the offensive suddenly relaxed, and no longer added troops to the barricades.

Qiu Yizhi felt strange, so he slowly climbed out of the barricade under the escort of Zhao Chengxiao and others, and leaned on the wall to observe the movements of the officers and soldiers.

But he didn't care about it, but he saw that the officers and soldiers had transferred countless firewood, grass, tung oil and other fire-burning things from nowhere, and they were piling up here in the cell-obviously trying to burn everyone including the criminals of the "Thirteen Lives Strange Case" and Qiu Yizhi.

When Qiu Yi saw it, he immediately panicked, thinking to himself: Although the cell he held on to was very strong, it was only a corner of the place, and if the officers and soldiers really set fire, he would definitely have no way to escape. So he hurriedly straightened up, bared his head, and shouted outside, "What are you going to do here?" This official is also an official of the imperial court, and if you hurt my life, you will be guilty of a lot! ”

His shout really had some effect, and the officers and soldiers seemed to slow down. However, after a slight hesitation, he resumed his original movements and continued to carry firewood and grass to the barricades.

Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi was even more anxious, but he saw the inspector who talked to him yesterday from a distance, and hurriedly greeted him loudly: "That general, do you still recognize this official?" This official is just a little ugly with Yin's assassination history, so why bother to kill him? ”

The inspector can also be regarded as a bit of a favor, walked a few steps slightly, and said shallowly: "My lord, this is an order personally given by Lord Yin, and there is no way for the general, please forgive me." After saying that, he felt a little ashamed, turned around and went back to continue to direct his soldiers to carry firewood and grass.

Qiu Yizhi saw that he couldn't convince the other party, and thought that it was indeed not a long-term solution, so after repeated consideration, he secretly ruthlessly, beckoned Zhao Chengxiao over, and said to him: "Brother Zhao, you also know the current situation, if the official army really causes a fire, we will become bacon." In my opinion, now there is only one general to plan, and I will kill them first, set fire to the things that ignite the fire of the officials and soldiers, and let them work in vain. ”

Zhao Chengxiao nodded while listening, but said: "My lord, these firewood and grass are placed everywhere in the official army, and now the weather is dry and dry, if a fire is lit, it will not be good to burn down the houses." ”

Qiu Yizhi pondered for a moment and said: "This is also a matter of no choice, fortunately, the people in the city have been evacuated, and as for the burned property and houses, they can only be compensated from my money." He sighed again and said, "Okay, if you don't do it again, I'm afraid you will miss the fighter." Go ahead and light some torches and follow me out!" ”

Zhao Chengxiao also knew that the military situation was urgent, so he agreed, turned around and returned to the cell, and then took a dozen brothers, all of whom were holding torches, but said to Qiu Yi: "This is a trivial matter, why should adults take risks?" Just wait here and wait for us to fight. With that, he took the lead, jumped out of the barricade, and rushed into the crowd of officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers of Jiangnan Province really lacked combat experience, and they did not send special personnel to guard such a large project when there were many people to handle such a large project. The officers and soldiers who carried firewood and grass were greedy for convenience, and discarded swords, spears, and other things, which was equivalent to being defenseless.

This gave Zhao Chengxiao and other nineteen people an excellent opportunity, only to see them break into the enemy formation one by one like fierce tigers in the mountains, and after killing a few people with their swords, they scattered the officers and soldiers, and then used the torches in their hands to ignite the half-piled firewood and grass.

The firewood and grass were already very dry under the exposure of the big sun, and they burst into flames when they got a little spark. There were still officials and soldiers who wanted to come over to put out the fire, but they did not prepare a water source in advance, and they really responded to the saying that "far water cannot quench the thirst of the near", so they had to watch the flames rise higher and higher.

Zhao Chengxiao and the others did not hesitate at all, and when they saw that the blow was successful, they immediately turned to another pile of firewood and grass, and scattered the surrounding officials and soldiers like a gourd, and then set fire to the firewood and grass.

After several killings, fires burned everywhere in the county town of Shanyin, and most of the fire-starting things that the officials and soldiers had worked so hard to carry had been destroyed.

When Qiu Yizhi saw such a scene, he couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't expect that there was no guard force around him.

The generals in the official army were not completely ignorant of military affairs, and seeing that Qiu Yizhi was alone, he simply ignored Zhao Chengxiao and others who were making waves in Shanyin County, and sent a small detachment of twenty or thirty people to sneak up from the side of the barricade.

Qiu Yizhi's attention was completely focused on Zhao Chengxiao's actions, and it was not until the official army climbed the barricade that he suddenly realized, and immediately shouted loudly: "Brother Zhao, come and save me......"

Before he could finish speaking, the officers and soldiers had already jumped down from the barricades, and slowly approached him with the official knives in their hands.

Qiu Yizhi's martial arts were mediocre, and seeing that he was outnumbered, he knew that he would never be able to kill all the officers and soldiers in front of him, so he thought about whether he could delay some time so that Zhao Chengxiao could come back to rescue him.

So he simply took off the saber at his waist and said with a smile: "You guys are really a good means, this official is convinced today." I wonder what you want to do with this official? ”

These people who surrounded Qiu Yizhi were all ordinary soldiers, and they couldn't read a basket of big characters together, and they really didn't know what to do with Qiu Yizhi, an official of the imperial court.

As they looked at each other, they saw an officer crawling out of the barricade. Qiu Yizhi looked fixedly, it was the inspector who had just spoken to him.

Yesterday's incident, the inspector had a good impression of Qiu Yizhi's secrets, so he said very politely: "Your Excellency is very benevolent and righteous, and the last general can't be rude." Now that the adults have been disarmed, the last general will not be tortured, and please follow the last general Taiping to see Lord Shi Yin. If the adults resist stubbornly or want to run away halfway, then the general will inevitably be rude, and then everyone will lose their dignity, which will not be good. ”

Qiu Yizhi was also a little orderly when he heard what the inspector said, so he said, "Okay, you have a point." But asked the general's name? ”

"Don't dare to be." This inspector hugged his fists and said, "The last general's surname is Wu, and his name is Changxi." My lord, come with me to see Lord Yin. ”

"Wu Changxi......" Qiu Yizhi secretly wrote down the name, and said, "It's easy to say." It's just that the prisoners in this prison are all designated prisoners, and I hope that the general can take good care of them and not let them escape. ”

"That's nature." Wu Changxi said loudly, and then ordered his soldiers to carry half of Qiu Yizhi out of the barricade.

At this time, Zhao Chengxiao and the others had already heard Qiu Yizhi's cry for help, and knew that he would be in trouble, so they had broken through many barriers and came to a few steps away in front of Qiu Yi. When they saw that their benefactor had been captured by the officers and soldiers, they hurriedly rushed forward with their knives to rescue them.

But when he heard the inspector named Wu Changxi say "offended" to Qiu Yizhi, he took out his portable saber, put it on his neck, and said loudly to Zhao Chengxiao and others: "The martial arts of these brothers have been taught by the last general. It's just that your lord is now in the hands of the last general, so please put down your weapons and don't force me to do it. ”

Zhao Chengxiao looked at Qiu Yizhi and then at Wu Changxi, sighed, and had no choice but to put the saber into the scabbard, and then unhooked the scabbard and slowly put it on the ground.

Wu Changxi also seemed to be relieved, and ordered his soldiers: "These are all great men, you can't practice them." Just escort these people to follow me, and go to see Lord Yin together." ”

Yin Chengliang's Chinese army is located in Shanyin County, and Qiu Yizhi is very familiar. However, he was now involuntarily unable to do so, so he had to go straight through the gate of the county government and enter the middle hall under the escort of all the officials and soldiers.

I saw that Yin Chengliang, the assassin of Jiangnan Province, was sitting under the plaque of "Mirror Hanging", and the civil and military officials of Jiangnan Province were standing on both sides, and their momentum was also very solemn.

Seeing this, Wu Changxi, the inspector who escorted Qiu Yizhi, hurriedly tidied up his clothes and armor, stepped forward and walked half a military salute and said, "Please forgive the last general with armor on his body, and he can't salute it all." Lord Qi Yu stabbed Shi, and the autumn ceremony of Shanyin Zhixian was brought. ”

A smile flashed across Yin Chengliang's face, and he said, "Okay, this is your combat exploits, I know it in my heart." Bring the autumn ritual to the court! ”

Wu Changxi made another gesture, but said: "The adult will not dare to take the praise at the end." It's just that Lord Qiuyi is indeed not a heinous person, so please be a little decent. ”

Yin Chengliang heard him intercede for Qiu Yizhi, and his heart suddenly became angry, and said: "Qiu Yizhi is a rebel and rebellious villain, not something that you can protect as a martial artist." Don't talk too much, bring him to me!" ”
