Chapter 117: Counterattack begins

Little by little, the fire flooded to the fork in the road of Nianhe Village, and thick black smoke gathered on the top of the mountain.

After a while, dark clouds began to accumulate in the sky, and the pouring rain poured down, Li Zhilian stood motionless in the rain and stared at the official road leading to the sea of fire, expecting Su Yun to rush from inside

The fire was still spreading, and the tongue of fire that was frantic in the wind and rain had already burned in front of Li Zhilian

Feeling only a burst of heat, Luo Chang had already pulled her on the war horse, galloped out, and stopped on a low slope of more than 500 zhang in the sea of fire.

On the fifth watch, the fire slowly weakened in the rain, and it was no longer arrogant to spread forward, and the fire at this time had burned not far from Xilin City, Luo Chang beckoned to Fu Yuheng behind him and left......

Early morning! A ray of sunlight sneaked out of the gap in the dark clouds, illuminating the blackened mountains, and after a while, they were covered by dark clouds again, and the rain was lighter

Li Zhilian was still standing not far away, waiting...... She didn't believe that Su Yun died in the fire like this, and she didn't believe that none of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses came out......

At noon, Luo Chang came from the rain, looked at Li Zhilian, who was still standing motionless in the rain, and shouted loudly: "There is news from Ningcheng, there was a loud noise in Yongning Palace yesterday afternoon, and half of the palace walls in the palace collapsed, and the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince and half of the ministers were among them...... Life and death are unknown now. ”

Li Zhilian turned his head and glanced at Luo Chang, what did the palace in Ningcheng have to do with her? She only cares about Su Yun now...... He turned his head and continued to stare at the remaining flames in the distance

Luo Chang stared at him, his voice became much softer, and continued: "Before the loud noise, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly broke into Yongning Palace with a group of rebels and a few ministers, wanting to force His Majesty to let it, according to the confessions of the eunuchs and guards who escaped, Shen Zhitang was also among them."

Li Zhi's pity trembled, only to feel that it was dark in front of him, and Luo Chang helped her: "Li Jianqing has arrived in Lining City, if nothing else, he will ascend the throne in a few days."

Li Chenghou still took that step after all, but what happened to the loud noise? Is it explosives?

What is the connection between dynamite and saltpeter, but it can't be! In this era, there was simply no accurate ratio of explosives

Suddenly, she thought of Zhou Cheng...... She once asked Zhou Cheng to help her find the raw materials for making explosives, which had proportions and precautions

But...... What is the relationship between Zhou Cheng and Yin Wanjin? What are they doing this for? Her head ached from the jumbled thoughts

Shaking his head, he caught a glimpse of several people in black behind Luo Chang, and suddenly sobered up in his mind, they were in a group

For Li Jianqing to be on the throne? Zhou Cheng and Li Jianqing, Li Jianqing and Yin Wanjin......

It was not an accident that Li Jianqing appeared in that broken temple a few days ago to save her, but for the sake of silver and gold......

Li Zhilian stood up and walked towards the war horse, she wanted to go back to Ningcheng and ask clearly, why did they do this? Luo Chang grabbed her and shouted, "Where are you going?" ”

Li Zhilian shook off his hand and said coldly: "Go back to Ningcheng"

Luo Chang crossed her and stopped her: "You go back now, what about the 100,000 troops here?" What about the southern frontier country? Do you want the surname Xiao in the future of this southern Xinjiang country? ”

Li Zhilian stared at Luo Chang, the rain slipped from the tip of her hair and fell into her eyes, and it took a long time for her to say very firmly: "The Southern Xinjiang Kingdom can be surnamed Xiao, but Shen Zhitang can't die."

Luo Chang dragged her back and yelled, "Then what if Shen Zhitang is already dead? ”

Li Zhilian looked at Luo Chang in a daze, and took a few steps back: "It's impossible to ......"

Luo Chang walked up to her and said coldly, "He is in Yongning Palace, the center of the loud noise...... He's dead! ”

Li Zhilian raised his head suddenly, looked at Luo Chang in the heavy rain, and turned his head to look at the figures of Fu Yuheng and Shu Yihuan who had just arrived not far away: "Then what should I do now?" Take you back to Lining City? Or take the opportunity to capture the Western Zhou Kingdom? ”

Luo Chang let go of her hand and said word by word: "Capture the Western Zhou Kingdom, and then kill back to Southern Xinjiang, and then Beifeng, and unify the four countries."

"Heh~" Li Zhilian sneered: "What about after the capture of the Western Zhou Dynasty?" The army needs to rest, and the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty need to be pacified, and it will take time for these to ......"

"If it were someone else, it would take time, but you are Li Zhilian......" Luo Chang interrupted her words and raised the short knife in her hand: "You have the token of the Western Zhou royal family in your hand, as long as you guide them a little, they will respect you"

Li Zhilian raised his head, his eyes met the yin owl in Luo Chang's eyes, like a silent demon preparing to wake up in the rain, Li Zhilian looked around, his eyes fell on Fu Yuheng and Shu Yihuan, and after a long time, he withdrew his gaze, took a step back, and asked with a sneer: "So you want me to be the empress of this Tianyuan land?" Or do you Luo Chang want to be this emperor? ”

Luo Chang was stunned for a while, his legs knelt straight to the ground, Fu Yuheng and Shu Yihuan behind him also quickly knelt on the ground, Luo Chang hung his head and said in a low voice: "The duty of the shadow guard is to protect the descendants of the surname Li, remove the remnants of the Xiao family, and never let the unidentified Li Jianqing ascend the throne of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom......"

Li Zhilian's mind flashed countless clips with Li Jianqing, she still wanted to believe that everything was done by those people in the Xiao family, and it had nothing to do with Li Jianqing...... Li Jianqing will become a good emperor in the future, but now everything is not what she thinks, she just wants to ask Li Jianqing face to face, why did she kill Shen Zhitang?

Li Zhilian took a deep breath, squatted down and parallel to Luo Chang, and said calmly and decisively: "I want to go back to Ningcheng, I can't let Shen Zhitang live and die alone in Ningcheng, and things are still taking a turn for the better, Li Jianqing and the Xiao family should not have completely fused together."

Luo Chang raised his head and glanced at her, but did not speak

The clothes were wet and a little uncomfortable squatting, Li Zhilian simply sat on the ground and said, "I'll go back, you and Fu Yuheng stay here in case the Northern Feng or Western Zhou Kingdom suddenly goes to war...... And if Li Jianqing is not worthy...... I'll take care of him personally, and then I'll do the great thing you just mentioned."

Luo Chang frowned slightly, and was silent for a long time before he said: "What you and Shu Yihuan did in Xilin City yesterday has attracted the attention of those people in the Xiao family, and it will be very dangerous to go back alone."

Seeing Luo Chang agree so quickly, Li Zhilian was slightly surprised, and raised his hand to press the kneeling Luo Chang down and sit: "In the past few days since I came to Xilin City, I have thought about it for a long time, this Tianyuan land is divided into four countries, and we are at the junction of these four countries, where hundreds of exiled prisoners are gathered, once some of these people are released, one of them will cause riots in the rivers and lakes, why don't we use their strength to deal with the Xiao family?" ”

At this time, the rain had gradually become smaller, and the broken hair on his forehead was attached to Li Zhilian's face, and his clear shallow eyes were particularly dazzling on his face that was a little pale by the rain, Luo Chang looked up at her, and he didn't know what to say for a while

Li Zhilian stood up: "It's time to expose the Xiao family's shady rats to the sun"

Luo Chang's eyes widened, and he subconsciously asked, "What are your plans?" ”

Li Zhilian smiled slightly, and his eyes fell on Fu Yuheng's body: "I have to ask General Fu to choose a few people to come out and accompany us to play a scene."

Luo Chang, Fu Yuheng, and Shu Yihuan looked at each other, looking at her with a puzzled expression, waiting for her explanation
