Chapter 70: Arson in the middle of the night

The cold wind was blowing in the night.

Xu Fang crawled quickly around the soldiers who had already been stunned by sweat medicine, and sneaked into the makeshift granary, and just after entering, he saw Gu Rong busy working.

He hurriedly stepped forward to help and asked, "Anyway, how's it going?" ”

Gu Rong nodded, "It's all ready, we have to hurry, you are here, I'll go to the other side." ”

Xu Fang nodded, took out the fire fold, and lit it along the nearest hemp rope.

The hemp rope was extremely thin, but it was all coated with fire oil by Gu Rong in advance, and the fire oil was limited, so she simply split the rope into several strands and wrapped them all around the grain.

Xu Fang waited for a while, and after the fire had spread smoothly to every rope, he drew his knife and cut a hole on all sides of the big tent, and the cold wind blew in through the gap, and the flames turned into fire snakes along the wind.

Xu Fang had just come out of the tent, Gu Yanzhi was also coming out from the other side, he couldn't stay here for a long time, the two of them were about to slip away, and suddenly heard someone shouting, "Who is there!"

At the same time, Xu Fang shot a flying knife in his sleeve, and the caller immediately fell to the ground, but it was too late.

Someone spotted the anomaly and shouted in the distance, "What's going on?" ”

"There's a fire!"

Gu Rong looked back, the fire had just started, and it was close to the water, if the people were mobilized, the fire could be extinguished quickly.

Xu Fang obviously noticed this, and secretly screamed in his heart.

Gu Rong looked around, the nearest outpost, and the night watch soldiers were still asleep.

Xu Fang looked at her and swept away, and immediately understood.

In addition to arranging manpower, each piggyback point is also equipped with weapons. He was quick on his feet, and soon went and returned, with two knives and a barrel of arrows in his hand.

Gu Rong took the knife, looked around, and said, "You are dark and I am bright, drag it first!" If you can't leave, be sure to bring the news out! ”

Xu Fang was in a hurry, and was about to refuse, Gu Rong didn't look back and ran out.

This time the grain and grass were escorted, a full 1,500 troops, and there were guards day and night, it was not easy for the two of them to come to this point, how could they fall short!

Gu Rong blended into the night, and a team of closest soldiers rushed over from a distance, Gu Rong was wearing a soldier's uniform, and ran towards them with a panicked expression, "Oh no, the sentry is fighting!" ”

When the leader heard this, he subconsciously looked behind her, Gu Rong walked extremely fast, and ran in front of her in three or two steps.

"What's the matter...... he suddenly widened his eyes, and the words came to an end, with a suspicious look on his face.

Gu Rong's knife had already pierced into his abdomen!

Her strength was so great that the knife passed through the soldier's body, revealing half of the blade, stained with blood.

The team was in chaos, and everyone drew their knives at her.

Gu Rong held the person's corpse and took two steps forward, Xu was that she shot too fast, and the murderous aura in her eyes was too heavy, and everyone was so frightened that they retreated for a while.

Not far away, someone shouted, "What's going on?" ”

Xu Fang in the dark was thrilled to see, anxious as an ant in a hot pot, thinking about Gu Rong's advice, he couldn't move according to his patience.

There was billowing smoke rising behind Gu Rong, and someone reacted and said in a panic, "It's the grain and grass on fire!" Hurry up and put out the fire! ”

Gu Rong quickly pulled out the knife, and the red blood splashed on her face in an instant, and with a flick of her knife, it was as fast as lightning piercing the heart of the person who spoke first, and she suddenly screamed for her life.

Gu Rong had no blade in his hand, and the close-fitting Qi Yuan immediately held it in his hand and fought with a group of people.

In the panic, someone shouted, "It's on fire, it's on fire!" ”

Gu Rong kicked it, and the person who shouted fell to the ground, rolling on the ground in pain.

For a while, there was a lot of noise, and everyone was rushing to this side.

It was Xu Baozhu, a powerful subordinate of King Rongcheng, who escorted the grain and grass, and he hurried over, seeing that the grain and grass were on fire, and the fire was raging, he roared angrily, "Hurry up and put out the fire for me!" ”

He looked at Gu Rong in the crowd like a swimming fish with a blue face, his face was bruised, and he was obviously extremely angry, "Take him down for me!" ”

Soon someone brought water to extinguish the fire.

In the darkness of the night, the sharp arrows were shot accurately, and the two arrows were shot at the two soldiers who ran in front, and when they landed, the two buckets of water were knocked over.

The soldiers shouted, "There is an ambush!" ”

Two more arrows were fired, and two more fell to the ground.

Someone spotted him and shouted, "He's there!" ”

Xu Fang shot an arrow, which hit him in the chest, and the man fell to the ground.

He hurried away, his steps were heavy, and as he went, he shot two more arrows backwards, and suddenly someone fell to the ground.

Gu Rong saw the soldiers fall to the ground in the distance, and calculated that there should not be many arrows left, the wind was blowing, the fire and wind were mixed, and they were instantly connected, and the light lit up the cold winter night sky.

The fire has spread, and unless the gods descend to cast spells at this moment, it will be difficult to save the grain and grass.

Torches were lit in the army, and the hula-la-la people gradually formed an encirclement.

Gu Rong stood in the center of the crowd with a knife, surrounded by more than a thousand people, and she didn't see any timidity.

Xu Fang was filled with grief and indignation, holding the empty bow tightly, his knuckles were white, but Gu Rong was not wrong when he said it, this news was going to be transmitted back to Beiyuan, although the grain and grass were destroyed, it was difficult to guarantee that Dongyue would not have other preparations, even if it was one in ten thousand, it should not be taken lightly!

The flames are blazing.

The center of the crowd is like a human Shura.

Gu Rong's expression was fierce, Qi Yuan licked the blood, and her body was also bright red, but not a drop was her own blood.

Xu Baozhu stared at her with a gloomy face, behind her was the grain and grass that had been burned red, and said angrily, "Come on, tie me up!" ”

It's dawn.

There was a gentle breeze blowing, and there was a smell of fire in the air, and from here, not far away was a clearing, and the black ashes were swept up by the wind and carried far away.

It's still a day's journey from Bianjing.

Xu Baozhu was riding on the horse gloomily, and behind the horse was a person tied by a rope.

He urged the horses to run, and the men behind were dragged forward, and in a few moments they were bruised.

"Team up!"

Gu Rong was dragged to a mouth full of dust, and the whiplash wounds on her body were obviously visible.

After Xu Baozhu grabbed her last night, he used a salt-soaked horsewhip to hang her up and beat her until her skin was open, and later when he wanted to kill her with a knife, the henchman beside him offered a plan, "My lord, in my opinion, I still want to leave her, this disaster, someone must bear it in front." ”

The grain and grass were burned, and Xu Baozhu could not escape the involvement, but if he caught the arsonist, he might be able to get a light shot.

Xu Baozhu understood, stared at her angrily, saw her dying, but he couldn't understand the hatred in his heart, his right hand was raised, and the horse whip hit her, and soon saw flesh and blood.

Gu Rong felt very painful, when she went down the mountain, she made a move with the master, although she was lucky to dismantle a hundred moves, but she was also beaten by the master and cultivated for several days. At that time, she thought that such bitterness was the most painful in the world.

But today, it hurts even more than when the master beat him.

Gu Rong was in pain and sweat on her forehead, and she was a little trembling, but she looked at Xu Baozhu with a calm expression, as if these methods were useless to her.

She slowly pulled out a laugh, as if she was laughing at him, she couldn't save food and grass, and she couldn't kill her.

Xu Baozhu was furious, and with another whip, it was thrown on her face with a snap, Gu Rong was beaten crookedly, and a whip mark suddenly appeared on her face.

The sun had risen, and it was already the depths of winter, and the wind was blowing colder.

The team of more than 1,000 people marched in a hurry, and in a short time, it was about to enter Bianjing.
